Goodbye Bafana
|
00:00:55 |
Stay in line, bastards. |
00:01:03 |
Keep in line, man. Keep in line. |
00:01:04 |
What are you looking at me like that for, |
00:01:07 |
What are you looking at? |
00:01:09 |
Move! |
00:01:12 |
You men make sure that's tied |
00:01:18 |
Careful, man! |
00:01:20 |
-Pa, why is it taking so long? |
00:01:24 |
Move your feet, move your feet, |
00:01:25 |
I said, go back! |
00:01:30 |
Sergeant Gregory, Dannie Bosman, |
00:01:34 |
-Your first time to Robben lsland? |
00:01:38 |
You'll get bored with that soon enough. |
00:01:40 |
-What prison are you from? |
00:01:43 |
Well, Robben lsland |
00:01:47 |
All prisoners below deck |
00:01:50 |
Ladies and children, all aboard please! |
00:01:58 |
-Where's your mom? |
00:02:01 |
We can board now, sweetie. |
00:02:04 |
-How do I look? |
00:02:08 |
-As long as I don't get seasick. |
00:02:10 |
Will I be able |
00:02:11 |
Of course, you will. |
00:02:13 |
'Cause I don't want to share |
00:02:14 |
Who said I want to share with you? |
00:02:16 |
You two stop fighting |
00:02:18 |
Remember, first impressions |
00:02:37 |
Are all the prisoners |
00:02:39 |
All of them. |
00:02:40 |
But at Kroonstad, they were White. |
00:02:41 |
We don't mix Whites and Blacks, |
00:02:44 |
These are not just criminals, Brent, |
00:02:48 |
But what's the difference? |
00:02:51 |
Terrorists are terrible people. |
00:02:52 |
They want to kill all the Whites |
00:02:55 |
Which is why we lock them up |
00:03:03 |
Sergeant Gregory? |
00:03:06 |
Captain Devett. |
00:03:08 |
How do you do, Captain? |
00:03:10 |
I have a jeep standing by. This way. |
00:03:25 |
One, two. |
00:03:29 |
All aboard, Captain. |
00:03:56 |
This is it. |
00:04:01 |
You can stand down for today, |
00:04:03 |
This evening you're expected |
00:04:05 |
at the OC's residence, |
00:04:16 |
Gloria, I can't find my step-outs! |
00:04:19 |
Ma is visiting next door, Pa. |
00:04:22 |
Why is the toilet outside, Pa? |
00:04:24 |
These houses are old, boet. |
00:04:27 |
-What war? |
00:04:29 |
-What happens if I need to go at night? |
00:04:33 |
But there are bad people out there. |
00:04:35 |
Boy, the only bad people on this island |
00:04:38 |
Okay, Pa. |
00:04:40 |
-James, are you decent? |
00:04:42 |
Excuse all the boxes, |
00:04:44 |
This is my husband, James. |
00:04:46 |
-How do you do? |
00:04:47 |
Sannie's kindly offered |
00:04:49 |
Oh, that's very nice. |
00:04:50 |
Oh, Sannie's husband |
00:04:51 |
So if you ever need anything, |
00:04:55 |
Just don't say where it came from. |
00:04:57 |
-I can't find my step-outs. |
00:05:00 |
-And you, James? What's your posting? |
00:05:02 |
We'll probably find out this evening. |
00:05:04 |
You must be something special |
00:05:07 |
to the Colonel's house, |
00:05:11 |
-Serious? |
00:05:13 |
The officers here are all bloody snobs. |
00:05:15 |
I've got dinner on the stove. |
00:05:17 |
Give me a shout |
00:05:19 |
Right. Thanks, Sannie. |
00:05:21 |
Hell, I'm starting |
00:05:24 |
You get in with the officers and |
00:05:27 |
You have to be |
00:05:28 |
This is not Worcester, James. |
00:05:33 |
This is Robben lsland, |
00:05:35 |
You play your cards right |
00:05:37 |
and, who knows, in five years, |
00:05:40 |
Dream on. |
00:05:41 |
I think I'm going to give you |
00:05:43 |
Oh, Christ, woman, you never stop! |
00:05:45 |
-Come on! |
00:05:47 |
You don't have to wait |
00:05:49 |
I'm a fully qualified hairdresser! |
00:05:51 |
-Really? |
00:05:55 |
Highlights is what you need, |
00:05:58 |
then you'll see the heads turning. |
00:06:00 |
Well, are we going |
00:06:02 |
This is no holiday camp, Sergeant. |
00:06:04 |
You got warders stuck out here |
00:06:07 |
It's a recipe for alcohol abuse, |
00:06:09 |
Prostitution? |
00:06:10 |
We've got married NCOs |
00:06:12 |
to single warders |
00:06:16 |
I hope Captain Devett |
00:06:19 |
-Welcome to the island, Gregory. |
00:06:22 |
I see our wives |
00:06:25 |
Thank you for inviting us, sir. |
00:06:27 |
There's someone who wants |
00:06:30 |
This is Major Piet Jordaan |
00:06:31 |
-from the Bureau of State Security. |
00:06:36 |
I believe you speak |
00:06:39 |
-I speak Xhosa, sir. |
00:06:41 |
I grew up on a cattle farm |
00:06:44 |
When you've got no brothers |
00:06:45 |
you end up playing with the Kaffirs, sir. |
00:06:48 |
Shall we take a walk, Sergeant? |
00:06:51 |
So, what do you think of the judgement |
00:06:55 |
In my opinion, |
00:06:57 |
Then we could have turned him |
00:06:59 |
Perhaps he's more use to us |
00:07:02 |
It's a waste of taxpayers' money, |
00:07:05 |
All Blacks? |
00:07:06 |
Certainly the ones who took up arms |
00:07:09 |
-Mandela denies he's a communist. |
00:07:14 |
You know, in the 1800s, |
00:07:18 |
Nothing's really changed then. |
00:07:24 |
How do you feel about heading up |
00:07:29 |
Excuse my ignorance, sir, |
00:07:32 |
That's where we keep Mandela |
00:07:34 |
I need someone on the inside, |
00:07:37 |
I want to know what they think, |
00:07:42 |
Anything you find odd |
00:07:46 |
you report directly back to me. |
00:07:48 |
I want you to be my window |
00:07:54 |
Hell, and here I was thinking |
00:07:56 |
working bloody night shifts. |
00:07:57 |
-You can if you want. |
00:08:02 |
It would be an honour for me |
00:08:05 |
I won't let you down. |
00:08:06 |
You let me down, |
00:08:09 |
I would never do such a thing. |
00:08:12 |
Of course not. |
00:08:14 |
Well, I don't know about you, |
00:08:17 |
Let's go and get something to eat. |
00:08:22 |
-They asleep? |
00:08:26 |
The Colonel's wife, Joyce, |
00:08:29 |
She bakes, so she'll pay with a cake. |
00:08:30 |
And Hettie, |
00:08:33 |
Her husband dives for crayfish, |
00:08:36 |
-And that woman with the grey hair... |
00:08:38 |
What? |
00:08:39 |
They're putting me |
00:08:42 |
No? |
00:08:44 |
They want me in charge |
00:08:46 |
My God, James! |
00:08:49 |
I wasn't going to blow my trumpet |
00:08:52 |
This is big, my boy! Mandela? |
00:08:54 |
Never mind that. |
00:08:58 |
This is fantastic! Did they say anything |
00:09:01 |
In due course, I was told. |
00:09:05 |
No more Discipline Warder for me. |
00:09:08 |
From now on, I am in charge |
00:09:10 |
this country has ever seen. |
00:09:12 |
Do you know how many bridges |
00:09:14 |
Do you know how many police stations |
00:09:16 |
he and his Umkonto we Sizwe |
00:09:21 |
Didn't I say this was going |
00:09:24 |
-Didn't I say that, James? |
00:09:41 |
Put your backs into it, you lazy Kaffirs! |
00:09:51 |
Stand up, you slack bastards! |
00:09:56 |
Three days half rations |
00:10:00 |
Attention! |
00:10:07 |
I'm your new censorship officer. |
00:10:11 |
If you want to post a letter, |
00:10:15 |
One letter every six months, |
00:10:20 |
No reference to other prisoners, |
00:10:27 |
and no bloody politics! |
00:10:31 |
If you fail to adhere to these regulations, |
00:10:40 |
If you receive a letter, |
00:10:44 |
Same story, one every six months. |
00:10:48 |
Any mention of politics |
00:10:52 |
Is that clear? |
00:10:55 |
You fuck with me |
00:10:56 |
and I'll make your life |
00:11:01 |
And I'll enjoy doing so! |
00:11:06 |
-Which one is Mandela? |
00:11:09 |
Five days for talking in the passage. |
00:11:13 |
Right! Back to work! |
00:11:16 |
Let's see you breaking some rocks! |
00:11:26 |
Last one on the right, |
00:11:35 |
Hey, you! |
00:11:44 |
I'm talking to you, man! Look at me! |
00:11:55 |
I'll see you, Mandela. |
00:12:24 |
Mrs Mandela. Sergeant Gregory. |
00:12:27 |
-How do you do, Sergeant? |
00:12:35 |
Vosloo, escort Prisoner 466/64 |
00:12:40 |
Here please. |
00:12:45 |
You speak only in English |
00:12:59 |
Prisoner ready. |
00:13:05 |
You have 30 minutes, starting now. |
00:13:16 |
-How are you, Madiba? |
00:13:20 |
We don't have much time. |
00:13:23 |
How are our daughters? |
00:13:27 |
They can't sleep at night, |
00:13:28 |
terrified the security will come |
00:13:31 |
That is political, Mrs Mandela. |
00:13:32 |
It is not! It is about our family! |
00:13:39 |
There is too much harassment |
00:13:43 |
It is upsetting the girls. |
00:13:45 |
George Bizos suggests we send them |
00:13:49 |
They'll come home on holidays. |
00:13:51 |
Will you cope being alone? |
00:13:55 |
When I married you, |
00:14:02 |
Have you heard from Evelyn? |
00:14:04 |
She has a job at the mines, typing. |
00:14:10 |
-How is my son? |
00:14:13 |
He has his driver's licence |
00:14:16 |
Tell him I am allowed another visit |
00:14:19 |
He has to put in an application. |
00:14:21 |
I will tell him. |
00:14:24 |
How are our friends in Lusaka? |
00:14:27 |
Oliver has been appointed |
00:14:30 |
English only! |
00:14:33 |
Tell Oliver that all of us in here agree |
00:14:38 |
The people must make |
00:14:41 |
That's it. Vosloo, this visit is terminated! |
00:14:48 |
-This way please. |
00:14:50 |
-We were talking about family matters! |
00:14:54 |
Vosloo, escort the prisoner back |
00:14:56 |
On your feet, Mandela! Move! |
00:15:16 |
Gregory! |
00:15:26 |
-That was quick. |
00:15:29 |
About what? |
00:15:30 |
Mandela told her |
00:15:32 |
to escalate the armed struggle, |
00:15:35 |
said they must make |
00:15:38 |
Anything else? |
00:15:39 |
Family stuff. Kids going off to |
00:15:43 |
When Winnie gets back to Joburg, |
00:15:47 |
It's going to be front page news. |
00:15:52 |
Make sure Mandela gets it. |
00:15:55 |
No problem. |
00:15:57 |
Oh, one small thing. |
00:16:00 |
She mentioned his son, Thembi, |
00:16:03 |
he's got his driver's licence, |
00:16:06 |
-He probably stole the bloody thing. |
00:16:19 |
-Hello sweetie! |
00:16:22 |
-How was your day? |
00:16:24 |
Switch on the kettle, won't you, |
00:16:27 |
-What do you think, James? |
00:16:30 |
-Her hair! |
00:16:34 |
Nice? Please, it's stunning! |
00:16:38 |
Wait till Jan sees it, |
00:16:40 |
I believe Mama Africa |
00:16:43 |
You girls seem to know everything. |
00:16:45 |
Nothing happens on this island |
00:16:48 |
usually before it happens. |
00:16:52 |
-So, what's she like? |
00:16:55 |
They started talking Xhosa, |
00:16:57 |
-James speaks fluent Xhosa. |
00:16:59 |
He grew up with them, on a farm. |
00:17:02 |
He had a friend called... |
00:17:04 |
Man! Who cares? |
00:17:05 |
-No, man, tell us. |
00:17:08 |
Bafana. |
00:17:10 |
James has got a photo |
00:17:12 |
Gloria. No. Gloria! |
00:17:13 |
-No, l... I want to see it. |
00:17:16 |
I didn't know |
00:17:18 |
I'm not a farm boy. |
00:17:20 |
Here it is. Look. |
00:17:23 |
-Oh, cute, look at the little Kaffir-lover. |
00:17:27 |
Joyce. |
00:17:30 |
He's even got his arm |
00:17:35 |
-That's it! |
00:17:37 |
I'm going fishing. Brent, get your rod! |
00:17:40 |
-Look, Pa, a starfish! |
00:17:44 |
-Pa! I've got one! |
00:17:47 |
Nice and slow, that's it! |
00:17:49 |
Hey, don't look at me, man. |
00:17:51 |
Don't look at me. |
00:17:52 |
-Brent, give me that rod. Come here! |
00:17:54 |
Natasha, come here, girl! |
00:17:57 |
-But Pa, what about my fish? |
00:17:59 |
-Faster, faster, faster! |
00:18:01 |
Are you trying to piss me off? |
00:18:03 |
-Brent, get down, boy! |
00:18:07 |
Move it, you lazy bastards. |
00:18:10 |
All right, we can go back now. |
00:18:17 |
Move it! Don't look at me! Yes, yes. |
00:18:20 |
But what about my fish? |
00:18:22 |
I'm sorry, boy, but if those warders |
00:18:25 |
Why? |
00:18:26 |
Prisoners aren't allowed to see children. |
00:18:28 |
Why not? |
00:18:30 |
'Cause they're here for punishment. |
00:18:37 |
This is from Motsadi's wife. |
00:18:39 |
"We have decided |
00:18:42 |
"as they have increased the fare |
00:18:46 |
Cut it out. |
00:19:20 |
The following, |
00:19:25 |
Mhlaba! |
00:19:28 |
Kathadra! |
00:19:30 |
Hurry up, do you think I've got all day? |
00:19:32 |
Motsadi. Jonas Motsadi! |
00:19:42 |
-The rest of you are dismissed. |
00:19:46 |
I found this in my cell. |
00:19:49 |
According to regulations, |
00:19:50 |
no prisoner may be in possession |
00:19:55 |
Therefore, I am handing it over to you, |
00:20:07 |
I am surprised that you did not look |
00:20:28 |
Come on, come on! |
00:20:29 |
That's it. Yes, go Robben lsland! |
00:20:36 |
Yes! |
00:20:42 |
Yes! Yes! |
00:20:48 |
Yeah! |
00:20:49 |
-Wow, Daddy! |
00:20:52 |
-He's really got something, eh, darling? |
00:20:55 |
Gregory! For a postman, |
00:21:01 |
-To Robben lsland. |
00:21:05 |
I think it's time |
00:21:08 |
He's officer material, |
00:21:10 |
Oh, Joyce, I'll do your hair for free |
00:21:15 |
Then I'm definitely going to talk |
00:21:19 |
Are you off to Cape Town |
00:21:21 |
Yeah, my mom has been dying |
00:21:24 |
Then I'm going to give you |
00:21:26 |
with a good mayonnaise at the top. |
00:21:41 |
Come here. |
00:21:48 |
-Granny! |
00:21:50 |
Hello, my darlings! |
00:21:53 |
These are for you, |
00:21:55 |
Oh, they're beautiful. |
00:21:56 |
-Hi, Mom. |
00:21:58 |
-How was the ferry? |
00:22:00 |
-The sea was flat for a change. |
00:22:02 |
Got you some fresh crayfish, Barbara. |
00:22:04 |
Oh, never mind fresh, they're alive! |
00:22:10 |
Oh, seeing as you didn't get seasick, |
00:22:14 |
Nelson Mandela? That's awful! |
00:22:16 |
Ya, it's a big responsibility. |
00:22:18 |
James gets to check their mail |
00:22:20 |
That's restricted information, Gloria. |
00:22:22 |
For goodness sake, |
00:22:25 |
Gloria, come help me |
00:22:27 |
I'll wait outside with the kids. |
00:22:42 |
The two of you, stand still. Stand still. |
00:22:45 |
Where is your passport? |
00:22:46 |
Where is your pass? Your pass! |
00:22:48 |
Here, your pass. Come, come, come. |
00:22:50 |
What's going on, Pa? |
00:22:52 |
-Passports. Where is your pass? |
00:22:54 |
-Come back here. Where's your pass? |
00:22:58 |
Hey, come back, come back. |
00:23:03 |
-Hey! |
00:23:10 |
Get in the van! |
00:23:17 |
Where is your pass? |
00:23:19 |
My baby! |
00:23:20 |
-You can't just leave the baby here! |
00:23:23 |
I'll take him. He's my daughter's child. |
00:23:26 |
It's all right. It's all right, |
00:23:33 |
Maybe you should go and talk to her. |
00:23:37 |
Another minute |
00:23:55 |
Feeling better? |
00:24:00 |
Dinner's almost ready. |
00:24:01 |
-Why didn't you stop that policeman? |
00:24:06 |
To take the mommy |
00:24:09 |
No. But if the mommy |
00:24:12 |
then she's not allowed to be there, |
00:24:16 |
Do we have a pass? |
00:24:21 |
We don't need one. |
00:24:22 |
-Why not? |
00:24:25 |
-But is that fair, Pa? |
00:24:29 |
It's the way we live, Natasha, |
00:24:30 |
Whites on one side, |
00:24:33 |
It's God's way, darling. |
00:24:35 |
Just like he doesn't put |
00:24:38 |
or a goose with a duck, |
00:24:40 |
It's just not natural. |
00:25:09 |
-Switchboard. |
00:25:16 |
-Jordaan. |
00:25:18 |
A telegram just arrived for Mandela. |
00:25:21 |
I know. The boy smashed head-on |
00:25:25 |
Was it... |
00:25:26 |
What? |
00:25:28 |
-You know. Was it an accident? |
00:25:32 |
-You'll tell him personally, won't you? |
00:25:34 |
Let me know his reaction. |
00:25:40 |
What's up? |
00:25:43 |
Mandela's oldest son |
00:25:47 |
Good riddance. |
00:25:51 |
Do you have kids? |
00:26:01 |
Hey, work, you Kaffir! |
00:26:03 |
Hey, do you want two days solitary? |
00:26:11 |
Who the fuck is Madiba? |
00:26:13 |
-Madiba, it's Mandela's clan name. |
00:26:17 |
Go tell him. |
00:26:28 |
Mandela, I'm sorry. |
00:26:35 |
Hey, work, Kaffir! |
00:26:37 |
Hey, what are you trying to do, man? |
00:26:40 |
-Van Niekerk! Can I have a word? |
00:26:43 |
Regulation 1 6/A of the Prison Act states |
00:26:45 |
that if a prisoner loses |
00:26:47 |
they are entitled to two days off work |
00:26:50 |
-Compassionate grounds? |
00:26:52 |
Mandela's a lawyer, |
00:26:54 |
You don't want him laying a charge |
00:26:56 |
I can escort him back to his cell, |
00:27:46 |
Earlier today, South African forces |
00:27:49 |
of SWAPO insurgents |
00:27:51 |
-killing 12 terrorists... |
00:27:53 |
-...and arresting five. |
00:27:55 |
-There were no reports of casualties... |
00:27:56 |
...on the South African side. |
00:28:00 |
Your food's getting cold. |
00:28:04 |
-What if it was murder? |
00:28:11 |
James. |
00:28:21 |
They'd never do such a thing. |
00:28:22 |
I called the police in the Transkei. |
00:28:26 |
The more questions I asked, |
00:28:29 |
Eventually he hung up on me. |
00:28:31 |
-That doesn't mean anything... |
00:28:33 |
Go ahead, darling. |
00:28:38 |
I was the one who told Jordaan |
00:28:39 |
that Thembi had a licence, |
00:28:41 |
You're doing your job. |
00:28:46 |
These people are savages. |
00:28:50 |
They don't want to share |
00:28:53 |
If they had their way, they'd drive |
00:28:58 |
They'd leave us with nothing! |
00:29:03 |
Yeah, I know. |
00:29:07 |
Come and have pudding. |
00:30:19 |
All right, you win this time. |
00:30:25 |
There won't be a next time. |
00:30:28 |
I'll come back and visit. |
00:30:31 |
My father says |
00:30:34 |
I have to go. |
00:30:35 |
This will protect you |
00:30:44 |
I will wear this forever. |
00:31:41 |
-I see you, Madiba. |
00:31:51 |
I want you to know that I am very sorry |
00:32:01 |
Many times I tried to explain to my son |
00:32:08 |
that I fight for a better world, |
00:32:13 |
I'm not sure he ever understood. |
00:32:24 |
Where did you learn to speak Xhosa, |
00:32:28 |
I grew up near where you were born. |
00:32:31 |
Then you understand. |
00:32:35 |
-You know they will never allow it. |
00:32:39 |
I give you my word |
00:32:41 |
It's not you. |
00:32:43 |
It's your communist friends. |
00:32:47 |
What communist friends |
00:32:49 |
The whole of the bloody |
00:32:51 |
Obviously, you have not read |
00:32:54 |
-I have. |
00:32:57 |
Where would a sergeant |
00:32:58 |
get his hands on such a document? |
00:33:00 |
Well, I know about it. |
00:33:02 |
Then you would know |
00:33:05 |
a world where people like you and l |
00:33:10 |
That is what I wanted for my child. |
00:33:13 |
Surely you want the same |
00:33:21 |
I wish to be alone now. |
00:34:09 |
Motsadi, Mandela must eat. |
00:34:11 |
When our leader is ready to eat, |
00:34:19 |
You can tell him |
00:34:21 |
that the boy's mother was at the funeral. |
00:34:38 |
-Have you read the Freedom Charter? |
00:34:42 |
The Freedom Charter. |
00:34:46 |
-No. |
00:34:49 |
It's about the extermination |
00:34:55 |
-Stuff like that, isn't it? |
00:35:00 |
Pa, can we go watch Province |
00:35:03 |
-Maybe. |
00:35:05 |
I just need to quickly pop |
00:35:07 |
-But my mom's got lunch waiting for us. |
00:35:14 |
But Roeland Street is not... |
00:35:18 |
Go, kids! Go. |
00:35:38 |
Excuse me, I understand |
00:35:39 |
containing banned literature. |
00:35:40 |
-Downstairs. |
00:35:59 |
-Yes? |
00:36:01 |
I'd like to take a look |
00:36:04 |
Wait here. |
00:36:14 |
-You got an authorisation? |
00:36:16 |
This is a restricted area. |
00:36:21 |
Sergeant Gregory. |
00:36:26 |
So? You need authorisation |
00:36:30 |
if you want to look at banned material. |
00:36:35 |
Listen here, Major Jordaan |
00:36:38 |
personally instructed me |
00:36:43 |
Call him. It's Pretoria 39001. |
00:36:49 |
Give him what he wants. |
00:36:56 |
Sit there. |
00:37:13 |
You'll find it in there. |
00:37:16 |
Thank you. |
00:37:43 |
"We, the people of South Africa, |
00:37:46 |

00:37:49 |
"that South Africa belongs to all |
00:37:56 |
"and that no government |
00:37:59 |
"unless it is based on the will of the... " |
00:38:06 |
-What are you doing here, James? |
00:38:11 |
I can't believe you did that. |
00:38:15 |
Gloria, I am working with them, |
00:38:19 |
I'll tell you how they tick, James. |
00:38:21 |
They tick like a time-bomb. |
00:38:33 |
Sit up straight. |
00:38:47 |
Afternoon. |
00:38:59 |
Can you imagine what would happen |
00:39:02 |
You could kiss your promotion goodbye, |
00:39:04 |
Please, man! What promotion? |
00:39:08 |
I promised Joyce |
00:39:10 |
About what? |
00:39:14 |
Come on, Gloria, |
00:39:19 |
Piet put a recommendation into Pretoria |
00:39:21 |
that you be promoted to warrant officer. |
00:39:23 |
He even told Joyce |
00:39:26 |
you'll be lieutenant |
00:39:29 |
Oh, that's very nice. |
00:39:32 |
Not if you throw it all away |
00:39:35 |
I'm not going to do anything stupid. |
00:39:40 |
With the salary you get |
00:39:44 |
we can't even afford to buy |
00:39:46 |
Come on, Gloria. |
00:39:50 |
Come on, it's not that bad, Gloria. |
00:39:53 |
James, the Prison Service |
00:39:59 |
Christ, they even own the house |
00:40:04 |
I'm not going to mess things up. Okay? |
00:40:08 |
Look at me. Okay? |
00:40:11 |
Plumstead is up next. |
00:40:13 |
I don't want your mom |
00:40:19 |
-Hey, man, how was your weekend? |
00:40:22 |
Did you go and watch |
00:40:24 |
No, but they nailed them good, eh? |
00:40:26 |
Are you looking at me? |
00:40:30 |
Come, come, come! |
00:40:36 |
You slack bastards! Move it! |
00:40:39 |
Hurry up, hurry up! |
00:40:43 |
-The post will have arrived by now. |
00:40:46 |
That ferry will be an hour late, at least. |
00:40:49 |
Go check anyway. |
00:41:17 |
"The national wealth of our country, |
00:41:21 |
"shall be restored to the people. |
00:41:27 |
"The mineral wealth, the banks, industry |
00:41:40 |
The ferry hasn't even left |
00:41:43 |
-Must be bloody rough out there. |
00:41:58 |
Mandela, I have a question for you. |
00:42:00 |
You claim the ANC is not communist, |
00:42:04 |
that the mineral wealth, |
00:42:06 |
shall be transferred to the people. |
00:42:08 |
That is communism |
00:42:10 |
It is not. It is, in fact, true nationalism, |
00:42:14 |
where all the people, |
00:42:18 |
all benefit from the accumulated wealth |
00:42:22 |
And your land, Mr Gregory. |
00:42:23 |
-These are ideals you'd kill for? |
00:42:27 |
There's no justification for murder |
00:42:30 |
You people should never |
00:42:32 |
You White people were deaf |
00:42:35 |
You left us no choice |
00:42:37 |
-Sergeant! |
00:42:39 |
What are you doing cavorting |
00:42:42 |
I was just telling Mandela |
00:42:45 |
for a consultation, sir. |
00:42:46 |
-Get your arse up here! |
00:42:53 |
Raise your arms. |
00:42:56 |
-Sir, I can... |
00:43:12 |
Congratulations, Warrant Officer. |
00:43:17 |
Thank you, sir! |
00:43:19 |
For he's a jolly good fellow |
00:43:24 |
for he's a jolly good fellow |
00:43:28 |
And so say all of us |
00:43:31 |
T o James! |
00:43:33 |
And may his promotion |
00:43:34 |
and cause us a lot of heartache! |
00:43:41 |
Warrant Officer Gregory, may I have |
00:43:55 |
Didn't I say this would happen? Didn't l? |
00:43:59 |
You sure did, Booky. |
00:44:55 |
What are you gonna do about it? |
00:45:02 |
-Switchboard. |
00:45:10 |
Jordaan. |
00:45:11 |
I've got a postcard here |
00:45:14 |
Motsadi? Motsadi? |
00:45:16 |
-lsn't he due for release next week? |
00:45:19 |
There's a message written inside it |
00:45:22 |
What does it say? |
00:45:23 |
It says he must go |
00:45:27 |
and from there, |
00:45:29 |
Is there an address? |
00:45:31 |
36 Moroka Street, Gaborone, Botswana. |
00:45:36 |
Put the message back |
00:45:39 |
and make sure that Jonas Motsadi |
00:45:46 |
...of local cricket supporters. |
00:45:48 |
Included in the team |
00:45:50 |
as Bob Willis, Tony Drake... |
00:45:52 |
-Watch your queen. |
00:45:54 |
In the early hours of this morning, |
00:45:56 |
the South African Defence Force |
00:45:58 |
on a known ANC safe house |
00:46:02 |
killing four terrorists. |
00:46:03 |
One of the men, Jonas Motsadi, |
00:46:05 |
was recently released |
00:46:08 |
where he was seRVing five years |
00:46:10 |
That's us, Pa! Robben lsland! |
00:46:11 |
-Did you know him? |
00:46:13 |
for the Western Cape tomorrow |
00:46:16 |
clearing later with moderate |
00:46:18 |
It's your move, Pa. |
00:46:32 |
Go, move it! Yes, yes, yes! |
00:46:36 |
Faster. Go, go, go. |
00:46:45 |
-Are you sure my wife is on the ferry? |
00:46:48 |
-lt will be Christmas soon. |
00:46:51 |
How are they doing in school here? |
00:46:54 |
My son struggles a bit |
00:46:57 |
You must encourage them |
00:47:01 |
so they can go to university |
00:47:04 |
University is expensive, man. |
00:47:07 |
Although you bloody people |
00:47:08 |
"free, compulsory, universal |
00:47:14 |
That is a direct quote |
00:47:17 |
I am most impressed, Mr Gregory. |
00:47:23 |
Mr Gregory, I have a favour to ask. |
00:47:27 |
I have a small Christmas present |
00:47:29 |
and I was hoping |
00:47:31 |
No, man, Mandela. |
00:47:35 |
It's just a small chocolate. |
00:47:37 |
Where the hell |
00:47:39 |
That is of no consequence. |
00:47:42 |
I could have you in solitary |
00:47:45 |
I have not seen my wife for two years. |
00:47:48 |
For God's sake, man, |
00:47:53 |
Where is it? |
00:48:01 |
Drop it and walk on. |
00:48:15 |
-I'll escort Mrs Mandela from here. |
00:48:18 |
I am in charge of visits on this island |
00:48:19 |
and you will remain on this bloody ferry |
00:48:31 |
I see you, Madiba. |
00:48:34 |
What have they done |
00:48:36 |
They dragged me from our daughters. |
00:48:41 |
English only! |
00:48:42 |
Please, Mrs Mandela, |
00:48:46 |
Mr Gregory is right. |
00:48:59 |
From Nelson. |
00:49:06 |
Have a safe journey, Mrs Mandela. |
00:49:12 |
Warrant Officer! |
00:49:16 |
You recognise this? |
00:49:24 |
That's Govan Mbeki's writing. |
00:49:27 |
It was intercepted by Security Branch |
00:49:28 |
at the Soweto post office. |
00:49:29 |
Since when are prisoners allowed to |
00:49:34 |
I would never have |
00:49:35 |
Vosloo must have missed it. |
00:49:37 |
You're in charge of the Censor Office, |
00:49:39 |
-Make sure this doesn't happen again. |
00:49:45 |
-Nice work with Jonas Motsadi. |
00:49:57 |
-Warrant Officer Gregory. |
00:50:01 |
I'm on my way, sir. |
00:00:08 |
What is the meaning of this? |
00:00:10 |
Says here they sat under a tree, |
00:00:14 |
and finished it up |
00:00:17 |
You know the media, |
00:00:19 |
Are you telling me |
00:00:23 |
Mandela gave me a little chocolate |
00:00:25 |
-That's all that happened, sir. |
00:00:29 |
-That was a Christmas present. |
00:00:32 |
We are trying |
00:00:35 |
trying to isolate him from his family, |
00:00:41 |
How do you know there wasn't |
00:00:43 |
I checked it before I gave it to her. |
00:00:45 |
-And if it had been poisoned? |
00:00:49 |
Since when was he "Nelson"? |
00:00:51 |
Next thing you'll be wiping |
00:00:54 |
I apologise, sir. It was my mistake. |
00:00:56 |
Let me tell you |
00:00:59 |
For the next four months, |
00:01:00 |
you will spend every off weekend |
00:01:04 |
Are you happy with this |
00:01:06 |
or would you rather I stripped you |
00:01:10 |
-I'm happy with night duty, sir. |
00:01:17 |
-Yes? |
00:01:28 |
James Gregory, you swine! |
00:01:30 |
Do you know |
00:01:32 |
-Sorry? |
00:01:34 |
off the island! Not us! |
00:01:35 |
-What's going on? |
00:01:37 |
They told Piet to pack his bags. |
00:01:40 |
Do you know how hot it is in Barberton? |
00:01:42 |
I don't understand. |
00:01:44 |
They said that Piet is running |
00:01:46 |
And all because of you, James Gregory! |
00:01:48 |
Joyce, don't shout like that at James. |
00:01:51 |
If you've got something to say, |
00:01:52 |
Oh, I will not step foot |
00:01:57 |
After everything we've done for you! |
00:02:06 |
What on earth was that all about? |
00:02:08 |
I gave Winnie Mandela a chocolate |
00:02:10 |
-from Nelson. |
00:02:12 |
I don't know what all the fuss is about. |
00:02:17 |
Well, we can forget about you |
00:02:26 |
Maybe there are more important things |
00:02:33 |
Do you have a home to go to, Sannie? |
00:02:36 |
My name is Stander. |
00:02:40 |
And you will remember my name |
00:02:45 |
Most of you bastards |
00:02:48 |
because you were too cowardly |
00:02:53 |
The army that is right now |
00:02:56 |
against the communist masses trying |
00:03:01 |
And the police, |
00:03:05 |
so that your wives and mothers |
00:03:09 |
can sleep safely in their beds at night |
00:03:14 |
while you sit comfortably on your arses |
00:03:19 |
Well, that all changes as from today. |
00:03:25 |
Because this island is now my island. |
00:03:30 |
And the war will be fought on my island |
00:03:35 |
against SWAPO on the borders |
00:03:38 |
and the ANC and the PAC |
00:03:42 |
Your enemy is behind these walls. |
00:00:05 |
Enter! |
00:00:08 |
What is the meaning of this? |
00:00:10 |
Says here they sat under a tree, |
00:00:14 |

00:01:57 |
After everything we've done for you! |
00:02:06 |
What on earth was that all about? |
00:02:08 |
I gave Winnie Mandela a chocolate |
00:02:10 |
-from Nelson. |
00:02:12 |
I don't know what all the fuss is about. |
00:02:17 |
Well, we can forget about you |
00:02:26 |
Maybe there are more important things |
00:02:33 |
Do you have a home to go to, Sannie? |
00:02:36 |
My name is Stander. |
00:02:40 |
And you will remember my name |
00:02:45 |
Most of you bastards |
00:02:48 |
because you were too cowardly |
00:02:53 |
The army that is right now |
00:02:56 |
against the communist masses trying |
00:03:01 |
And the police, |
00:03:05 |
so that your wives and mothers |
00:03:09 |
can sleep safely in their beds at night |
00:03:14 |
while you sit comfortably on your arses |
00:03:19 |
Well, that all changes as from today. |
00:03:25 |
Because this island is now my island. |
00:03:30 |
And the war will be fought on my island |
00:03:35 |
against SWAPO on the borders |
00:03:38 |
and the ANC and the PAC |
00:03:42 |
Your enemy is behind these walls. |
00:03:48 |
And you are at war with them. |
00:03:54 |
-ls that clear? |
00:03:57 |
-ls that fucking clear? |
00:04:02 |
Move you, Kaffir dogs! Stand in line! |
00:04:06 |
Move it! Come on! |
00:04:07 |
Welcome to hell, you heathen bastards! |
00:04:10 |
We are freedom fighters, |
00:04:14 |
Come on! Move it! |
00:04:16 |
Thank you, Boytjie. |
00:04:17 |
I don't want that animal bleeding |
00:04:19 |
Chain him to the flagpole |
00:04:22 |
what flag flies above this land. |
00:05:02 |
Strip search. |
00:05:34 |
A beer, please. |
00:05:37 |
How you doing, Dannie? |
00:05:40 |
Not bad. |
00:05:49 |
So they're finally gonna let us |
00:05:51 |
twenty years after the rest of the world. |
00:05:56 |
Suit yourself, Dannie. |
00:05:58 |
Yes, two triple brandies please. |
00:06:05 |
Is this him? |
00:06:08 |
You don't have a chocolate for me, |
00:06:11 |
-Very funny. |
00:06:16 |
What does he write in those letters |
00:06:22 |
I'm trying to have a quiet drink here. |
00:06:25 |
Come on, Gregory, tell us, man. |
00:06:29 |
Van Niekerk, do you have any idea why |
00:06:32 |
I don't speak Kaffir |
00:06:36 |
Let me tell you. |
00:06:38 |
It means one of those great big |
00:06:44 |
-Really? |
00:06:50 |
So tell me, is it true what they say about |
00:06:58 |
What? |
00:06:59 |
That at night you take her up |
00:07:01 |
so your darkie friends can snack |
00:07:18 |
Fucking Kaffir-lover! |
00:07:21 |
That's enough. That's enough. |
00:07:27 |
James, James! |
00:07:29 |
-Go home to Gloria, James. |
00:07:58 |
-Jesus! What happened to you? |
00:08:02 |
I fell off my bike. It's the rain. |
00:08:07 |
I'll get some ice. |
00:08:15 |
Lynette's having a tea party tomorrow |
00:08:17 |
to welcome Colonel Stander's wife |
00:08:20 |
That's very nice. |
00:08:30 |
I haven't been invited. |
00:08:33 |
She... She probably forgot to call you. |
00:08:39 |
According to Ann, Lynette doesn't want |
00:08:44 |
-Fuck them. All of them. |
00:08:48 |
-What can I say? |
00:08:54 |
Even the officers' wives have stopped |
00:09:00 |
I'm sorry, Gloria. |
00:09:05 |
How could you let things get |
00:09:10 |
I think if you met Mandela, |
00:09:18 |
I heard of a really nice small prison |
00:09:22 |
near East London called |
00:09:25 |
They say it's very pretty |
00:09:29 |
You want me to put in for a transfer? |
00:09:32 |
How would you feel about that? |
00:09:36 |
I'd love to get off this island. |
00:09:38 |
I was hoping you'd say that. |
00:09:43 |
And I thought you wanted to stay. |
00:09:47 |
So much for our island in the sun. |
00:09:54 |
Your man on the inside, |
00:09:57 |
Not yet. |
00:10:02 |
Do you think Mandela will go for it? |
00:10:04 |
My opinion? No. |
00:10:06 |
Then why in God's name |
00:10:09 |
Public relations. |
00:10:27 |
You've got a visitor. |
00:10:55 |
This is Mr Kruger, |
00:10:57 |
So how are you enjoying |
00:11:00 |
Our cells are damp, the food is not fit |
00:11:06 |
we are treated worse than |
00:11:08 |
And you ask me, how am I enjoying it? |
00:11:12 |
I have a proposition for you |
00:11:14 |
What? One man, one vote? |
00:11:21 |
If you and |
00:11:23 |
agree to discontinue |
00:11:26 |
you can leave this island. |
00:11:27 |
We'll let you and your family go |
00:11:31 |
Then I would rather remain here |
00:11:40 |
Then you are more stupid |
00:11:43 |
-We're finished here, Major. |
00:11:49 |
I put in for a transfer to Glamorgan |
00:11:51 |
but it was turned down |
00:11:52 |
-Yeah, I turned it down. |
00:11:55 |
Have you got a problem |
00:11:57 |
The school here only goes up |
00:11:58 |
-My son goes to high school next year. |
00:12:01 |
I was at boarding school and no son of |
00:12:04 |
We need you here, Gregory. |
00:12:07 |
-You must put your country first. |
00:12:10 |
I put in another application. |
00:12:13 |
You're gonna throw away your pension? |
00:12:16 |
I'm telling you now, I will resign. |
00:12:19 |
Nobody wants an ex-prison warder. |
00:12:22 |
You resign, you'll be out on the street. |
00:12:25 |
You think about that. |
00:12:54 |
Hey darling. |
00:13:01 |
Rejected again. |
00:13:14 |
We'll manage, James. |
00:13:18 |
I'll find a job at a salon. We'll get by. |
00:13:21 |
It's not just our future that worries me. |
00:13:23 |
Every time I switch on the radio |
00:13:25 |
is another riot, another car bomb, |
00:13:27 |
another suspect who's been "jumped" |
00:13:32 |
another landmine. |
00:13:34 |
This is the country our kids |
00:13:43 |
God help us. |
00:13:48 |
Colonel? My letter of resignation. |
00:13:52 |
-I don't have a problem with this. |
00:13:55 |
But Pretoria might have |
00:13:56 |
Well, fuck Pretoria. |
00:13:58 |
Gregory! |
00:14:02 |
-What? |
00:14:05 |
What are you gonna do? Fire me? |
00:14:25 |
Good morning, Mrs Gregory. |
00:14:28 |
Wait here. |
00:14:34 |
What are you doing here? |
00:14:36 |
To be honest, |
00:14:38 |
Really? |
00:14:40 |
I have an offer for you. |
00:14:43 |
We both want something |
00:14:45 |
You wanna get off the island |
00:14:46 |
and I want you to keep working |
00:14:48 |
You understand them |
00:14:50 |
Get to the point. |
00:14:53 |
I can arrange for all the mail |
00:14:55 |
to be routed through |
00:14:58 |
You can do everything from there |
00:15:04 |
-What about visits? |
00:15:07 |
Accommodation? |
00:15:08 |
It so happens that the Prison Service |
00:15:11 |
in Plumstead, quite near to where |
00:15:15 |
You've thought of everything. |
00:15:17 |
This is a one-time offer. |
00:15:24 |
Give us a minute. |
00:15:30 |
What do you think? |
00:15:32 |
I think you just won a major battle |
00:16:05 |
Gregory! |
00:16:09 |
You've been rather quiet lately. |
00:16:11 |
There's been nothing to report. |
00:16:13 |
What, they're finally |
00:16:16 |
-You got time for a beer? |
00:16:19 |
Come on, just a quick one. |
00:16:22 |
So, I believe your son is following |
00:16:24 |
Not for long. He's just started |
00:16:27 |
totally through correspondence. |
00:16:29 |
Once he gets his degree he'll be out |
00:16:33 |
A warder's son at university, |
00:16:38 |
He's got Mandela to thank for that. |
00:16:42 |
"Make sure your children go to |
00:16:47 |
"South Africa needs well-educated |
00:16:50 |
"They will be our future leaders." |
00:16:56 |
-How is he? |
00:17:00 |
Yeah, he's getting on a bit. |
00:17:05 |
What do you think of this |
00:17:08 |
That's the least of our worries. |
00:17:10 |
The big problem is |
00:17:12 |
It's crippling us economically. |
00:17:14 |
Yeah, you know something's wrong |
00:17:20 |
Why? |
00:17:23 |
Are you mad? |
00:17:28 |
Yeah, I suppose you're right, hey. |
00:17:31 |
-Well, thanks for the beer. |
00:17:35 |
I'll see you around, Major. |
00:17:50 |
-Becker. |
00:17:55 |
-You're ready? |
00:18:01 |
See you tomorrow. |
00:18:05 |
-Bye-bye. |
00:18:07 |
-Hey sweetie, how was your day? |
00:18:11 |
Brent, you should be studying, |
00:18:15 |
Didn't I say it was the plugs, Pa? |
00:18:18 |
Check in the shed for new ones. |
00:18:22 |
-Pa, there's a call for you! |
00:18:26 |
-Hello. |
00:18:28 |
-we need you at Pollsmoor tonight. |
00:18:31 |
Yes, it's very important. |
00:18:35 |
I understand, Brigadier. I'll be there. |
00:18:45 |
-Do I smell curry? |
00:18:48 |
-How did the exam go? |
00:18:50 |
-Not bad, or good? |
00:18:56 |
-Would you like a G , just a little one. |
00:18:58 |
You go wash your hands before dinner. |
00:19:02 |
Authorities believe that ANC terrorists |
00:19:04 |
were responsible for the blasts. |
00:19:06 |
According to the report, |
00:19:08 |
and damage to the facility |
00:19:11 |
And now for a look at |
00:19:13 |
That was Brigadier Morkel. |
00:19:16 |
I have to report to Pollsmoor at 20:00. |
00:19:18 |
What for? |
00:19:20 |
He wouldn't say. |
00:19:22 |
-ls it Mandela? |
00:19:32 |
-Evening. |
00:19:50 |
-Captain. |
00:20:01 |
Good evening, James. |
00:20:03 |
Sorry to spring this on you |
00:20:05 |
-This is General... |
00:20:09 |
Of the National lntelligence Service. |
00:20:11 |
Previously known as |
00:20:15 |
Things in this country seem |
00:20:18 |
it almost astounds me. |
00:20:22 |
I don't understand. |
00:20:23 |
Tomorrow we'll be transferring you here |
00:20:25 |
to take charge of Mandela |
00:20:28 |
You'll be working with Brigadier Morkel, |
00:20:37 |
Yes? |
00:20:41 |
They've just passed through |
00:20:43 |
We're going to be easing up |
00:20:46 |
mail, study time, newspapers, the lot. |
00:20:48 |
Sir, I have a home in Plumstead. |
00:20:50 |
My daughter is busy with matric. |
00:20:52 |
You've got nothing |
00:20:54 |
We have lots of accommodation for you |
00:20:56 |
-Everything is sorted. |
00:20:59 |
You were the only warden |
00:21:01 |
they never laid a charge against. |
00:21:03 |
Not that that's a recommendation |
00:21:12 |
Go that way. |
00:21:32 |
It's been a long time, Nelson. |
00:21:34 |
Where are we, Mister Gregory? |
00:21:37 |
At Pollsmoor Maximum Security. |
00:21:48 |
-Oh, you still up? |
00:21:51 |
What's happening? You want some tea? |
00:21:53 |
I was gonna ask you the same question. |
00:21:56 |
-Or would you prefer coffee? |
00:21:59 |
-What? |
00:22:01 |
-You won't believe it. |
00:22:05 |
They've moved Mandela |
00:22:10 |
I want tea, not coffee. |
00:22:12 |
After 1 8 years on that bloody island. |
00:22:16 |
So what did they need you there for? |
00:22:22 |
-They wanna transfer me. |
00:22:25 |
You'll be in the bloody car three |
00:22:27 |
They want me on 24-hour notice |
00:22:30 |
They've asked me to head up |
00:22:32 |
There'll be a whole new unit, |
00:22:34 |
You can't decide something like this |
00:22:37 |
-They gave me no option. |
00:22:40 |
General Vorster, National lntelligence. |
00:22:50 |
What about Natasha? |
00:22:53 |
She can take the train. The train |
00:22:56 |
Gives her lots of time. |
00:22:59 |
-Why did they move him? |
00:23:02 |
Can you imagine what would happen |
00:23:04 |
There would be a bloodbath. |
00:23:05 |
-He could easily die in Pollsmoor. |
00:23:11 |
Maybe they're ready to start negotiating. |
00:23:13 |
Don't be naive. |
00:23:16 |
What? You think this can go on? |
00:23:18 |
The country is going up in flames, man. |
00:23:21 |
Next thing they'll blow up Parliament. |
00:23:22 |
Then they'll start blowing up |
00:23:24 |
Oh, but you think it's all right for |
00:23:27 |
Jesus, James. |
00:23:31 |
Listen to me. |
00:23:34 |
These last five years have probably |
00:23:38 |
I go to that little office in Roeland Street |
00:23:42 |
Then I fold them and put them back |
00:23:45 |
I need a change. |
00:23:48 |
I don't want to look back on my life |
00:23:53 |
This could be history in the making, |
00:24:09 |
-lt better be a house with a garden. |
00:24:27 |
-Chris, where does this lead? |
00:24:30 |
-Secure it, I want it sealed off. |
00:24:42 |
Why is this man alone? |
00:24:44 |
From now on we work in pairs, |
00:24:46 |
Yes, sir. |
00:24:49 |
Good morning, gentlemen. |
00:24:52 |
Mr Gregory, |
00:24:57 |
-All I hear are rumours. |
00:25:03 |
They say you had too much influence |
00:25:08 |
This is my son Brent. |
00:25:24 |
-All in order? |
00:25:26 |
Chris? |
00:25:29 |
-How far away is that mountain? |
00:25:33 |
Is it State-owned or private? |
00:25:35 |
I think it belongs to |
00:25:37 |
Find out. |
00:25:48 |
How is it, Raymond? |
00:26:08 |
-What's all this stuff doing outside? |
00:26:16 |
How are you going to cut hair |
00:26:18 |
I've had a sign up outside for a week |
00:26:22 |
They go to the mall |
00:26:24 |
Besides, this place is too small. |
00:26:26 |
-You can hardly move in here. |
00:26:29 |
You call this a roof? |
00:26:31 |
I can hear the people bonking next door. |
00:26:34 |
Where's Natasha? |
00:26:37 |
She's sick of spending half the day |
00:26:39 |
She's going to stay over at my mom |
00:26:42 |
Help me with the TV. |
00:26:46 |
Wait, mind your back. |
00:26:48 |
Brent met Mandela for the first time |
00:26:51 |
And? |
00:26:52 |
Yeah, I know, he said it was like |
00:26:58 |
Police and units of the South African |
00:27:00 |
in Soweto to quell widespread violence |
00:27:04 |
calling for the unconditional release |
00:27:08 |
The spokesperson for |
00:27:10 |
"Many arrests have been made |
00:27:12 |
"and the situation had been |
00:27:17 |
Switch it off. |
00:27:31 |
For your tomato plants. |
00:27:33 |
Thank you, Mr Gregory. |
00:27:39 |
-And how are you, Brent? |
00:27:42 |
It's good. |
00:28:10 |
Show me what you're made of, |
00:28:21 |
Defend your self for I am a young ox. |
00:28:27 |
You are talking to a bull. |
00:28:30 |
-Pa, what are you doing? |
00:28:50 |
Come on, Warrant Officer! |
00:29:16 |
It seems you know more than |
00:29:19 |
Pa, where'd you learn that, Pa? |
00:29:25 |
You should put some ice on it. |
00:29:40 |
It's not right. |
00:29:42 |
Ordinary people going about |
00:29:44 |
That's it, have a good look, man. |
00:29:49 |
For goodness sake. Hey man, hey man. |
00:29:51 |
In 1976, when the police opened fire |
00:29:56 |
how many were left dead in the streets? |
00:29:58 |
Thousands and thousands. |
00:29:59 |
Huh, what about those injured? |
00:30:01 |
And now you want to cry about |
00:30:04 |
What is that, hey, get lost man! |
00:30:06 |
Wait. You knew me in '76, Raymond. |
00:30:08 |
Did I celebrate the death |
00:30:09 |
with the rest of the wardens |
00:30:12 |
I was horrified by it. Horrified. |
00:30:15 |
This is also wrong. |
00:30:18 |
You can stop this. |
00:30:21 |
How? |
00:30:22 |
Tell your people in Lusaka |
00:30:25 |
Mr Gregory, do you honestly think that |
00:30:30 |
if we laid down arms today |
00:30:31 |
the apartheid regime would cease their |
00:30:37 |
Man, it's a vicious circle. |
00:30:38 |
I have waited 20 years |
00:30:41 |
for your people to come and talk to me |
00:30:43 |
But they are not interested in peace. |
00:30:47 |
So are you. |
00:30:48 |
When those in power |
00:30:51 |
the only path to freedom is power. |
00:31:05 |
Switch on the TV, Pa. |
00:31:08 |
-Where's your Ma? |
00:31:10 |
She's got an interview at a new salon |
00:31:13 |
She says she can't sit around |
00:31:16 |
Good for her. |
00:31:19 |
...by people who put pressure |
00:31:23 |
from outside and from within. |
00:31:28 |
I stated in Parliament |
00:31:32 |
gives a commitment that he will not |
00:31:39 |
-This guy can talk a lot of shit, huh, Pa? |
00:31:43 |
...political objectives, |
00:31:46 |
to consider his release. |
00:31:49 |
The choice is his. |
00:31:51 |
All that is required of him now is that |
00:31:56 |
violence as a political instrument. |
00:31:59 |
This is, after all, a norm |
00:32:01 |
which is respected in |
00:32:05 |
The presumption being |
00:32:13 |
Here, James. This... No, sit down. |
00:32:16 |
This just came from Pretoria. |
00:32:23 |
Would you believe it? |
00:32:26 |
You know, I think it's just some |
00:32:44 |
That won't be necessary. |
00:32:50 |
Where are we going, Mr Gregory? |
00:32:52 |
You are meeting your family in the room |
00:32:57 |
I do not understand. |
00:33:05 |
There'll be no more glass between |
00:33:10 |
I will be able to touch? |
00:33:14 |
Yes. |
00:33:16 |
Mr Gregory, I have not touched |
00:33:25 |
You'll be fine, Nelson. |
00:34:57 |
My father says, |
00:34:59 |
"What freedom am I being offered |
00:35:01 |
"while the organisation of the people |
00:35:04 |
"What freedom am I being offered |
00:35:06 |
"when I may be arrested |
00:35:10 |
"What freedom am I being offered |
00:35:15 |
"with my dear wife who |
00:35:19 |
"What freedom am I being offered... " |
00:35:20 |
-She speaks very well. |
00:35:26 |
"What freedom am I being offered |
00:35:27 |
"when I need a stamp on my pass |
00:35:31 |
"What freedom am I being offered |
00:35:33 |
"when my very South African citizenship |
00:35:38 |
"Only free men can negotiate. |
00:35:41 |
"Prisoners cannot enter into contracts. " |
00:35:43 |
My father says, "I cannot and will not |
00:35:49 |
"when you, the people, and I, |
00:35:53 |
"Your freedom and mine |
00:35:56 |
"I will return!" |
00:35:57 |
Power to the people! |
00:36:22 |
Warrant Officer Gregory, |
00:36:27 |
I'd like you to consider me |
00:36:29 |
I'll get Personnel to send your file over. |
00:36:31 |
My wife's nephew lost his legs |
00:36:35 |
It would be my pleasure to return |
00:36:41 |
-You must be joking? |
00:36:44 |
I promise you, I'm not joking. |
00:37:05 |
Gloria? |
00:37:06 |
James? Oh, James, |
00:37:09 |
We had to isolate Mandela |
00:37:16 |
A man phoned, he said they were gonna |
00:37:20 |
He said we're Kaffir-lovers |
00:37:23 |
Did... Did you recognise his voice? |
00:37:26 |
No, he said... |
00:37:29 |
He said I was dead. |
00:37:32 |
-It's all right, it's okay. |
00:37:36 |
They want to kill my babies. |
00:37:38 |
Nothing is gonna happen to you |
00:37:47 |
-Brigadier Morkel, now. |
00:37:49 |
Brig, listen, somebody phoned Gloria, |
00:37:52 |
I want 24-hour protection |
00:37:54 |
We'll take care of it. |
00:37:56 |
-Major. |
00:38:01 |
Gregory is making noises |
00:38:03 |
Give him what he wants, |
00:38:06 |
It's a joke, guarding the guard |
00:38:09 |
We've got bigger problems. |
00:38:10 |
The international community |
00:38:13 |
They are putting more |
00:38:15 |
Are we going to bend? |
00:38:17 |
No, we are not going to give power |
00:38:21 |
Besides, imagine if a right-wing bullet |
00:38:25 |
there would be bloodshed |
00:38:28 |
No, we'll have to make it look |
00:38:31 |
And give him access to his people. |
00:38:35 |
Maybe if we moved him to some place |
00:38:39 |
Like where? |
00:38:41 |
The farm prison outside Paarl, |
00:38:44 |
It's got mountains, vineyards, |
00:38:46 |
there's a farm house on the one side, |
00:39:16 |
Mr Mandela is expecting you. |
00:39:22 |
Mr Maharaj is a vegetarian, so I'm not |
00:39:25 |
I've baked a quiche for him. |
00:39:27 |
And don't serve wine to Mr Ayob, |
00:39:29 |
Christ, it's like the bloody |
00:39:31 |
The message from P. W. Botha |
00:39:33 |
It's "power sharing" or nothing at all. |
00:39:36 |
We will not enter into any discussions |
00:39:39 |
unless all parties agree to |
00:39:45 |
Sorry to interrupt. |
00:39:47 |
I'm taking the afternoon off. |
00:39:51 |
Very good, Mister Gregory. |
00:39:53 |
Good day to you, gentlemen. |
00:39:55 |
This country is full of surprises. |
00:40:06 |
James, it's beautiful. |
00:40:08 |
What did I tell you? |
00:40:11 |
Come, let me show you inside. |
00:40:12 |
-How's my girl? |
00:40:14 |
Bring in the suitcases, Brent. |
00:40:16 |
-Wait. |
00:40:21 |
James. |
00:40:24 |
It's got a dishwasher, |
00:40:26 |
spin dryer that works. |
00:40:27 |
The kids have each got |
00:40:28 |
and there's an extra TV |
00:40:32 |
No? |
00:40:33 |
You don't believe me, |
00:40:37 |
And I promise you, we will not move |
00:40:45 |
Gloria, Gloria, you should be happy. |
00:40:50 |
I am happy. I'm happy. Thank you. |
00:40:55 |
Oh Jeez, do you guys have to do that |
00:40:59 |
Come. |
00:41:01 |
What do you think? We've got an hour? |
00:41:02 |
You're not chilly? |
00:41:11 |
Oh, that's sweet. |
00:41:15 |
Damn it, I left my smokes in the car. |
00:41:19 |
It's typical of Pa. |
00:41:40 |
-Why are you following me? |
00:41:42 |
-Who are you? |
00:41:44 |
Top left jacket pocket. |
00:41:52 |
Why? |
00:41:53 |
My orders are to look out for you |
00:41:54 |
whenever you leave the prison. |
00:42:00 |
Tell Jordaan, |
00:42:07 |
-Gregory residence. |
00:42:10 |
-No, he just left. How did the exam go? |
00:42:14 |
Everything he covered |
00:42:16 |
-He's amazing. You must tell Ma. |
00:42:19 |
-Brent, drive carefully, okay? |
00:42:22 |
Cheers, bye. |
00:43:00 |
-What time is it? |
00:43:02 |
-I must have drifted off. |
00:43:05 |
Please. |
00:43:07 |
Is your family happy with |
00:43:11 |
Extremely. |
00:43:13 |
I saw on the television |
00:43:15 |
that President Botha |
00:43:19 |
Do you know what hospital he is in? |
00:43:21 |
I could find out. |
00:43:22 |
I would like to send him |
00:43:25 |
Do you think he'd do the same for you? |
00:43:28 |
-That is not relevant. |
00:43:32 |
-How is the young man? |
00:43:36 |
He should be driving back |
00:43:39 |
I am sure he will do very well. |
00:43:41 |
-Good night, Mr Gregory. |
00:43:46 |
This house is too big for one person. |
00:43:49 |
It needs a family, the sound of children. |
00:44:12 |
-Hello? |
00:44:15 |
-Yes. |
00:44:18 |
-Are you Warrant Officer Gregory? |
00:44:22 |
-Well, your son is dead. |
00:44:25 |
Listen, this is no time for sick jokes. |
00:44:28 |
Was your son driving a Ford |
00:44:34 |
-Yes. |
00:44:36 |
He was killed in a car crash. |
00:44:40 |
-What's wrong? |
00:44:41 |
-He was killed in a car crash. |
00:44:43 |
What? |
00:45:36 |
It's because of everything I've done, |
00:45:40 |
It's because of Thembi Mandela, |
00:45:43 |
Jonas Motsadi, Diliza Mje, |
00:45:46 |
I sent those men to their deaths |
00:45:49 |
No, James, no. |
00:45:51 |
-I am so sorry. |
00:45:54 |
It is. I sent those men to their deaths. |
00:45:59 |
We didn't know better, James. |
00:46:03 |
-Forgive me, please forgive me. |
00:46:06 |
It's not your fault. |
00:46:38 |
I was deeply shocked |
00:46:39 |
to hear of the tragic death |
00:46:44 |
and on behalf of myself and my family, |
00:46:51 |
Few things are as painful |
00:46:55 |
But I hope you and your family |
00:46:58 |
by the knowledge that Brent |
00:47:01 |
by almost all those |
00:47:05 |
Once again, our deepest condolences. |
00:47:10 |
James, you've got a visitor. |
00:47:20 |
James, |
00:47:24 |
General Vorster called on a number |
00:47:28 |
but you don't come to the phone. |
00:47:31 |
I tell you, James, if you don't go |
00:47:37 |
The results of his final exams. |
00:47:40 |
He passed everything. |
00:47:43 |
The first person in both our families |
00:47:47 |
Life goes on. It has to. |
00:47:55 |
You heard Botha resigned? |
00:47:58 |
This new man, De Klerk, |
00:48:02 |
Please, man, I've been hearing talk |
00:48:04 |
and nothing ever happens. |
00:48:06 |
This man is different. He's a listener. |
00:48:08 |
He's going to want to meet |
00:48:12 |
And we're going to need you there, |
00:48:36 |
Do you remember once telling me |
00:48:41 |
that you wanted to be part of history? |
00:48:48 |
We need to be strong, James. |
00:48:51 |
For each other. And for Natasha. |
00:48:56 |
For whatever the future holds for us |
00:49:22 |
It's nice to see you back again, sir. |
00:49:23 |
-I've got tea on the stove if you want. |
00:49:38 |
Come, my friend, |
00:49:44 |
Time will heal physical wounds |
00:49:47 |
but time will not heal invisible wounds. |
00:49:51 |
Sometimes, even now, |
00:49:53 |
In some ways I don't think I've ever |
00:49:58 |
-Madiba. |
00:50:03 |
I told the Security Police that Thembi |
00:50:08 |
I told them |
00:50:14 |
Do you honestly believe |
00:50:17 |
that the Security Police |
00:50:21 |
There are other names, |
00:50:23 |
Mr Gregory, |
00:50:28 |
You can not allow guilt or bitterness |
00:50:36 |
Come, I have something for you to give |
00:50:47 |
That was given to him by his mother. |
00:50:49 |
He says winter is coming |
00:50:53 |
That's very kind of him. |
00:50:57 |
Can you believe that in all these |
00:51:03 |
I don't even know what he looks like. |
00:51:07 |
Merry Christmas. |
00:51:15 |
Happy Christmas, Gloria. |
00:51:21 |
No moping, you two. Please. |
00:51:26 |
Make a toast, Pa. |
00:51:29 |
-To a new South Africa. |
00:51:49 |
How do I look? |
00:51:52 |
You cannot visit the President with |
00:51:55 |
Here. |
00:51:56 |
You appreciate it's been 20 years |
00:52:30 |
You're looking very elegant, |
00:52:32 |
-Thank you. |
00:52:34 |
The President is waiting for you. |
00:52:43 |
Stay here, Chris. |
00:52:46 |
Why is it I'm not surprised |
00:52:48 |
-It's over. |
00:52:51 |
We're releasing him on Sunday. |
00:52:53 |
You'll be in charge of |
00:52:55 |
until he walks out |
00:52:58 |
You've done a good job, Gregory. |
00:53:05 |
Tell me the truth. |
00:53:07 |
Thembi's accident, was it murder? |
00:53:11 |
Hell, not even I know that. |
00:53:37 |
Take a seat in the lounge, Brigadier. |
00:53:39 |
-ls Warrant Officer Gregory here? |
00:53:42 |
There is a clear sign of movement, |
00:53:48 |
over, beyond the higher trees, |
00:53:51 |
quite a number of helicopters, |
00:53:56 |
Excitement in the crowd, movement. |
00:53:58 |
Good morning, Brigadier. |
00:54:00 |
I am here to officially release you. |
00:54:04 |
Sign here. |
00:54:07 |
...clinging to the wires, |
00:54:09 |
trying to see whether they can spot |
00:54:20 |
Mr Mandela, I am giving you |
00:54:24 |
in case someone wants to |
00:54:30 |
Warrant Officer Gregory, |
00:54:33 |
-What? |
00:54:51 |
-Congratulations, Lieutenant Gregory. |
00:55:05 |
I guess I will now |
00:55:08 |
It's a bit late for that, Madiba. |
00:55:13 |
-So, how does it feel? |
00:55:16 |
Being a free man after 27 years? |
00:55:21 |
It will take some time to sink in. |
00:55:25 |
I understand. |
00:55:29 |
I... I wanted to give you something but... |
00:55:35 |
I couldn't think what. |
00:55:45 |
This was given to me by a friend, |
00:55:49 |
the one who taught me to stick fight |
00:55:52 |
Are you challenging me, Mr Gregory? |
00:55:54 |
Because if you are, |
00:55:56 |
No, no. |
00:56:00 |
It has protected me for many years. |
00:56:07 |
I hope it does the same for you. |
00:56:12 |
Thank you, Mr Gregory. |
00:56:34 |
You join us at the Victor Verster Prison |
00:56:39 |
The helicopters circling above, |
00:56:43 |
and Mr Nelson Mandela will, |
00:56:49 |
within seconds appear, |
00:56:53 |
the world has been waiting for. |
00:56:55 |
Mr Mandela, with grade, |
00:56:59 |
a man who has been in prison |
00:57:06 |
would be appearing in public |
00:57:13 |
There's Mr Mandela, |
00:57:16 |
a free man taking his first steps |
00:57:26 |
Mr Mandela! Mr Mandela! |
00:57:37 |
Mrs Winnie Mandela next to him |
00:57:44 |
Hand in hand, they leave |
00:57:46 |
"There shall be peace and friendship. |
00:57:49 |
"Let all who love their people and their |
00:57:55 |
"'These freedoms we will fight for, |
00:57:56 |
"'side by side, throughout our lives, |
00:58:07 |
That is the man that the world |
00:58:10 |
walking strongly step by step |
00:58:19 |
Goodbye, Bafana. |
