Jerusalema Page #2

Synopsis: Starting off with simple smash and grabs, and petty crime, Lucky Kunene quickly graduates to more aggressive heists such as armed robbery and carjacking. Soon, Lucky realizes he needs a bigger score to fulfill his goals of making it big, and escaping from the slums, to a dream house by the sea. Kunene hatches an elaborate and violent plan to make his fortune - hijacking buildings from landlords of Johannesburg tenements by winning the favor of the tenants and then holding their rent hostage from the landowners. His high-profile real estate acquisitions attract the attention of the local police force who have no qualms about using unprovoked brutality to bring him down. His trouble with the law, coupled with an escalating war between a local drug lord, creates a tense standoff: both sides are closing in, and Kunene must stay one step ahead--or his empire, and his life, will come crashing down.

Short wheelbase.

'95 model. Get it.

Yeah, white Isuzu bakkie.

Remember, I'm taking

a chance on you.

Yeah.

Sh*t.

Don't worry, sir...

We stair cars.

I don't care what you do with the guns...

...as Ion as you pay.

Nazareth's

contact started us off gently

and we figured,

"How hard could it be?"

If there were risks,

we weren't too concerned.

Besides, on the outskirts of Soweto,

there were more

white pickup trucks on the streets

than there were white people

in Sandton...

short beds and long beds,

Ford Bantams, Toyota Hiluxes,

Nissan Cabs,

Opel Corsas,

quarter tons, half tons

and flatbeds.

Every kind of bakkie known

to man, excepting of course,

a f***ing '95 white Isuzu.

As time passed,

we became desperate.

Keep up brother.

What's your problem?

What's your problem?...

I don't have a problem.

My feet are killing me.

These sneakers are King me

We knew this wouldn't be easy.

Stop whining.

Let's go home.

Hey guys...

Do you know the way

to Krugersdorp?

Okay, you need

to turn around here, man.

Maybe about three kilometers from here

you turn left, go straight north.

Hey!

F*** off...we're jacking you!

We're taking the car!

Please guys...

...l've got a wife...

...three kids...

...and a girlfriend!

Shut up!

Go over there!...

...and count to one hundred.

One, two, three, four, five,

six, seven...

Hey man It's go...

Start it! Start, start, start!

Push in the couch, put it in gear...

Sh*t!

Damn it!

I can't.

Why not?

I can't. I can't drive.

Useless idiot...

I told you this was a bad idea!

Now we're in the sh*t

Ah but gents, I counted to 100.

Reese the couch gent.

Gent, gent.

F***!

Oh god, god of Israeli,

send your Angie...

Hey!

...Abraham.

Look man, peas Austen

...gently...gently!

...a car is like your girlfriend...

...you must understand her...

...you've got to treat her smoothie.

What's so funny?

You're speaking to the wrong person...

This guy is a virgin.

F*** you...

How many women have you had?

Screw you!

How much p*ssy have you seen?

Going Nice...you're doing WWII.

Now push the couch in...put it into second..

...change gears now...

Yeah, now put it in second...

See? I'm making sweet love.

See for yourself.

My boss is going to iii me...

You were hijacked...remember!

Here...here...

Taxi fare home...

And buy yourself a drink...you need it!

Now f*** off!!

What do you think

you're doing, huh?

You are amateurs, man.

F***ing amateurs!

Is this the best

you could do for me?

We could have done better.

We just needed some more time.

I'm taking 2,000

for damages.

PIN is 1081.

Whoa, what's this now?
