Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom Page #5

Look at you, look at you.

- It's OK.

- Oh, it's Daddy.

Look, it's Daddy.

- Are you smiling for Daddy?

- Do you want to come run with Dad?

Come, come, let's go.

Come. Come, Zeni.

- How are you?

- I'm fine.

I've lost the new job, though.

- I will see that you get some help.

- No. I'll be all right.

I knew how it would be.

Fight them.

I hate them so much.

Petrus didn't make it.

What happened?

The detonator went off too soon.

I'm so sorry, Madiba.

It's not safe here anymore.

Time for you to move on.

You are at the wrong place.

Police!

Go, go, go!

- Run, run!

- You two take the outbuildings

and we'll take the farm.

Get down on the floor!

Get in there!

Get in there!

- Search them!

- Come here!

- Get down on the floor!

- Come on!

Watch out, there's one

going out the back.

Take him down!

Take him down!

Keep still!

Don't move!

Does somebody want me?

Mama Winnie! Mama Winnie!

They caught him.

Mandela!

Mandela!

Sisulu!

Kathrada!

No children.

You can't take them in.

Don't touch me.

Don't touch me.

Mama will come back, OK?

All right?

Now, wait with Sisi, OK?

Mandela!

Mandela! Mandela!

Silence!

Silence!

Quiet! Quiet!

My Lord, I call the case of the state

against the national high command

of Umkhonto we Sizwe, the military wing

of the African National Congress.

The state contends that the accused

are responsible for acts of sabotage

aimed at facilitating violent revolution

and an armed invasion of this country

with the intention

of overthrowing the government.

Accused number 1, Nelson Mandela.

Do you plead guilty or not guilty?

My Lord, it is not I

but the government

that should be put in the dock.

I plead not guilty.

The state has formally advised me

that they will be asking

for the supreme penalty

permissible by law.

Which is death.

Our best chance is to attack

the credibility of the charges.

We dispute every falsehood,

we challenge every charge.

We think they'll bring

in a guilty verdict,

but we might be able to

avoid the death sentence.

- Agreed?

- Agreed.

Agreed.

Then be happy.

Smile.

This may be the greatest service

we will ever do for our people.

Mandela! Mandela!

My name is Nelson Mandela.

I'm the first accused.

I do not deny that

I planned sabotage.

I did not plan it

in a spirit of recklessness

nor because I have any love

for violence.

The hard facts are

that 50 years of non-violence

had brought the African

people nothing

but more and more

repressive legislation

and fewer and fewer rights.

Africans want

a just share

in the whole of South Africa.

We want equal political rights,

one man, one vote.

I have dedicated myself to this struggle
