Are you okay?

Hey, what's going on with you?

Hey buddy... They say every

wine tastes different... Is it true?

Sure... You get used to the taste.

I prefer beer. Zamalek.

Hey buddy... I'm hungry. Do you want anything?

Hey buddy, what you have?

Cheese, cold meat, sausages...

- Chicken livers? - Sure. In the fridge.

What are you doing? They

haven't finished. Are you stupid?

- Hey man, look what you've done. - It

wasn't me man! Look in his hands.

- What were you doing? - I didn't see him.

What are you doing? You can't drive.

- Open the gate! - Get in!

- What have you done? - He was a trash!

- He's dead, he's dead! - Yes he

is! He always wanted to kill!

You never stopped him before!

Okay, let's do it. Buddy, if you

learned to drive, I'd give you more.

Move!

Let's go.

Come on, brother.

You want to stay with Fela?

When is my turn?

- For what? - You hit Boston, really hard.

Now Butcher...

When is my turn?

You're right. We are finished.

It's over. Like Butcher. Finished and done.

What happened?

Can I come in?

Please?

Thank you.

It's for you.

- I don't want them. - I won on the dice.

I don't want them.

I know where you got him...

I saw the newspaper.

They say his mother may never walk again.

You can't give her legs back.

But you must give her son back.

- What is this? - Milk.

- For mothers witout milk. - You put it in here right?

But it won't make you his mother.

Please, give him to me.

I'll take him back for you.

If I take him back... can I still come here?

I'm sorry, my brother.

Yes, I told you, Western Section. Just after the cap.

I see you.

- Where is he? - That shack, with the small window.

Watch the car.

- Where's the baby? - What baby?

- Get the gun. - Speak, fast!

- I don't know anything. - Don't bullshit us.

- No... no... stop! It's not him!

- What are you saying ma'am?

- Talk Boston! Where did he go? - I don't know!

Take it easy Zuma.

- Tell me the truth, I'm not stupid.

- I'm not lying. It's true man!

You! What do you want?

Take it.

- lf you need anything, help

yourself. - Thank you, I'm fine.

Thanks.

A child was stolen by someone who lives

on this street and nobody's seen anything?

- Pumla, eat please. - I can't John.

I'll leave it here.

Who is this?

Your baby. I'll leave it here.

Don't do anything stupid guys. We're coming.

- Please sir, wait! - Out of my way!

Put the child down and step away!

Please, stay in sir!

Please, I beg you... Just stay where you are.

- Put the child down. - Hey, please, take it easy...

He's holding my child.

Pumla, go inside.

Stay back ma'am! Steyn, pull her back.

Don't you touch me.
