Jerusalema
I had two heroes...
Karl Marx and Al Capone.
Al Capone said,
"If you're going to steal, steal big
and hope like hell
you get away with it."
And Karl Marx said,
"All property's theft."
I think they'd both be
proud of me.
Go go go!
Down down down down!
Cuff him!
Inspector Swart,
we've got the fucking scumbag
You're in deep shit, sonny.
Lucky Kunene,
you're under arrest
for murder.
Take him away.
in a major raid in Hillbrow today.
All the buildings targeted
have been taken over
by criminal gangs.
Police confiscated
and 2,714 rounds
of ammunition.
Large quantities of drugs
were seized,
including eight kilograms
of cocaine,
in addition to ecstasy,
Mandrax
and methamphetamine.
Police made 93 arrests
for serious offenses
including murder, rape
and armed robbery.
Among those detained
was notorious Hillbrow crime boss
also known as
the Hoodlum of Hillbrow.
This time I think you should
tell me the truth.
What do you want?
The real story.
Take me back
to the beginning.
The beginning...
Soweto.
Freedom.
The New South Africa.
A new dawn, a new day.
A fresh start.
A clean page.
A new beginning.
And I had dreams.
Sister, perfume?
The trains were
the circulatory system
My best friend Zakes
and I were sucking the blood,
selling peanuts for peanuts.
However, free enterprise
was never encouraged.
It's "the sweet smell of success"...
The good stuff.
It doesn't smell nice. It's fake.
Fake?!
Hey, boys. What are you doing?
Hey, boys! I'll get you!
I'll get you
Hey, you.
Give me back that hat.
Give me back my hat
Shit!
That's what I call a car!
You're crazy.
I'm telling you my friend...
I'm going to have a 7 series, a BMW...
I'll park it outside my
You wish...
You'd have to win the
lottery to get all that...
Hey, Lucky.
Nomsa, hey.
Did you hear I got
into Jo'burg tech?
And you?
Have you heard from the university?
No, not yet.
What's taking them so long?
Hey bull.
You, go home.
See you later, okay?
Okay.
We had a shitty day...
Why is it that pretty girls
always have big brothers?
Lucky, Lucky!
Hurry, a letter from university arrived.
"It is our sincere pleasure
to offer you a place
at our school
of business studies."
My brother, I made it.
There's no scholarship.
What does that mean?
It means I have to pay my own fees.
Father, we thank you for
the little that we have.
- Amen.
- Amen.
Why does Zakes always eat here?
Why doesn't he go to home?
Shut up, you.
Mama.
Thanks.
Stop now...
Just once more.
One more turn.
Ha!
You lost it, because you're an idiot.
Hey guys, cool it.
Tomorrow.
Don't move, thug!
Comrade Nazareth, so it's you...
You gave us a fright, man!
No wonder.
Once a chicken, always a chicken.
Ha!
"the cowards are running..."
What are you two up to?
- Let me go.
- Nothing, man.
What's it to you?
You watch it, bro.
So, tell me...
When did you get out of the bush, gorilla?
It's not gorilla... It's guerilla.
Get it?
Guerilla.
And I trained in Moscow,
not in the bush.
You peasant.
Moscow, huh?
So how was Moscow?
It's cold as hell, bro.
- So do you speak Russian?
- No, man.
The only Russian I embraced
is an AK-47.
Bullshit...
The only Russian he embraced
is vodka.
You said it...
Gents, let's get a drink.
You eventually decided to join the
terrorists because you say you
couldn't catch them, huh?
No, police work
pays chickenshit.
So I've gone
