Why do some old men get to decide Baba's resting place?
Your father was a member of that council,
and you have to respect it.
All they care about is selling the land.
What's going on?
Woah! Woah! Woah! Whoo! Haha!
Oh my Mother!
Where are you going?!
-You! -Where are you taking the coffin?
-Stop! -Stop the car!
-No! -Stop!
No! Stop!
No!
Is this the respect you were talking about?
We talked so many times, I tried to tell him about it.
Those women from the coast,
are wicked, totally wicked!
Why don't you call me wicked to my face?
Where is my husband's body?
I couldn't leave Mwalimu's body with you.
Do we even know if his death was natural?
Remember…
A Kamba doesn't die without a reason.
How can you say that?
We all know Mwalimu died because he was sick.
His death was too sudden.
Who knows what Esther was putting in his food? We don't know.
Don't talk about my mother like that, okay?
And you. Who are you to speak here?
As Mwalimu's daughter, I have the right to speak here.
The only daughter of Mwalimu I know is a teenager,
who was running around with my son and leading him astray.
You are a foreigner.
You don't have permission to speak here.
Listen, I don't need your permission to speak.
I want my husband's body back.
You know…
what is being said here,
has a huge impact. And…
My wife is sick, she's vomiting!
It's her.
-It's her. -She has served us poisoned food.
If she's done it now, she's done it before.
Let everyone here be cautious.
If we don't do something, we'll all end up dead like Mwalimu.
Okay then. I am postponing this meeting,
and also the burial,
till we investigate, and solve this matter.
This country, Kenya.
Maybe we are cursed.
We can't afford it.
Take it easy, don't hurt yourself.
Take it easy.
They are all sick. Fainting, vomiting.
The word going round,
is that Esther poisoned them.
It's Titus and Musa pushing the rumour.
The real issue is Mwalimu's land.
You mean… it's always about land when someone dies.
Why today of all days must this happen?
What's this?
You've got to stop this, Silas.
Why would you bring more children here?
This is no place for them.
This place is good for them.
They are better off here than wandering around begging for food.
Here they are getting paid.
You. If you don't want kids in the mines
then you go down the little holes yourself.
But don't expect me to rescue you when you get stuck down there.
Erick gave you a simple task,
write a list of all the farms he showed you on the map.
Do your job and let me do mine.
What are you looking at?
Get back to work!
Hi, sweetheart. What's up?
Honestly, we can't continue ignoring the issue.
What are we doing about Papa's funeral?
You heard the council's decision.
We have to wait.
They have their way of doing things.
When I was at the market,
I heard people talking.
All the people who got sick,
ate the food here.
You guys are lucky, I gave both of you left overs.
And I was too nervous to eat.
I'm glad nobody died.
What do you want from me?
What do you want me to do?
You know what? I'm not just going to stay here doing nothing.
I'm starving.
Help, the boy is hurt on the head!
Hey! Hey!
-What's going on? -He is hurt.
Take him to the tent.
Is there anyone else hurt?
Then what are you waiting for, a whistle? Get back to work!
Why don't we have helmets?
We are the ones who go into the caves.
What's in my head,
is more valuable than what is in yours.
Understood?
Get back to work.
I'm not going back until I get a helmet.
They don't make helmets for children.
Do you understand?
-Do you understand? -Yes.
If you don't want your job, you can go.
There are many others who will take it.
I have business in the village.
I'll drive you. We can talk.
Akisa, you are not the only one with a car.
There's nothing for me to intervene.
Go back home.
Ten percent. I only got ten percent.
What?
Why are you not at work?
He is,
in fact he works for me I promoted him.
Sure, Dad.
-Heh! Tough job! -Yes! It's tricky.
Mr Erick, here...
Excuse me,
this parcel of land, this land belongs to Mathias.
This is Mathias.
Why didn't you ask me for help?
Mzee, you were busy, I didn't want to disturb you.
Hey, I know everybody around here,
and nobody can dare lie to me.
Okay. Then,
don't forget to tell them,
here in Tsilanga,
there is no one else, apart from me, Juma,
who can help, finish all these land issues,
without turning it into a mess.
-Hi Max. -Hi, how are you?
-Very fine. -Very fine Max, How are you?
-Eh, Sama. -Yes.
-You are all grown up. -Not that much.
Let me go to Mama Akinyi's.
-Alright, it's okay. -Okay.
-It's okay. -Okay.
Oh my!
Who has died?
Why would you ask that?
Max, when was the last time I saw you?
Like three or four years and then you come here with flowers.
I've missed you, a lot…
and also your chapatis.
Ehe. What are the flowers for?
The flowers are yours.
Something beautiful for someone beautiful.
You never stopped being a charmer, what are the flowers for?
What are you doing there?
My father is there, but Uncle Titus isn't.
If that's who you're looking for.
Uh. No, er, Kanini, it's you I'm looking for.
You know, we haven't caught up.
When I left you were so young. Now look at you, wow!
Do you remember me?
Just a little bit.
I heard more stories about you after you left.
Were they bad?
I was told to behave, or else I would be like you.
But you don't look bad.
When you go to Nairobi, will you take me with you?
Kanini, I can't.
I want to go to Nairobi with you.
I'd rather be anywhere else but here.
Maybe you can visit.
I know what you are looking for.
Promise to take me to Nairobi and I'll show you.
Follow me.
I can't believe you still have this old teapot.
Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't have left.
Ah, nonsense.
Your dream was bigger than washing utensils.
I am serious.
You turned out quite okay.
Good thing you picked up boxing because
that's when you finally got your sense of style, eh?
I get some biceps, women started buzzing around me.
See now?
You found something to distract them from that balding head of yours.
Mama Akinyi!
Mama Akinyi, it's Butere.
The boy who shit himself, we used to call him "shit face"?
Hey, stop it.
-Stop saying that, he doesn't like it. -Why not?
How many times will I call you?
Mama Akinyi!
He is the leader of the gang for this area.
Him and his boys have made this place their spot.
When they eat, they don't pay.
They disturb my girls.
I was beginning to wonder if you didn't want to see me today.
Why the long face?
Is that you?
Shit face!
What do you think you're doing?
One wrong move and I spill your guts.
Max,
-it's been such a long time. -I've heard you've changed.
All you do is eat without paying.
Big balls, huh?
You don't have a password, you have nothing to hide.
Hide, hide what? Do you know who I am?
Give me the pin for your mobile money.
-Give me the pin-- -Get lost!
I won't ask again,
Give me the pin.
Do whatever you want!
-I have received. -Is it enough?
Yes it is.
Don't ever show your face here again, okay?
Leave!
How did you know I was here?
The boot of you car is not enough?
Are you sure about what you want to do?
People will hate you.
How are you?
Ah, what's wrong with her!
I can't sell to you.
Now, what is this?
Hey?
Can't you see what I'm losing just because you're here?
I didn't poison anyone.
You shouldn't listen to everything people are saying.
What I am saying is,
I don't want to be associated with a witch!
Leave!
-What do you want? -Money.
Get out of here.
Leave him alone, come with us.
I have brought you some pilau.
I would have brought you bread and fruits but Zipporah…
Can you believe Zipporah has called me a witch?
Everybody believes I put, poison in the food.
Hey! There he is.
He's a mad man, don't you know?
So? I am hungry and so are you.
No, let's go.
See? I told you.
I am going.
I have come with my friend.
Yes, we are hungry.
Oh my! Pilau!
Make sure to return it by tonight, okay?
There's your pick-up.
Maybe I ask Musyoka to help you.
Okay, fine that will help but it won't be enough. Kyalo come on, I need you.
I am meeting Anna this evening.
Wasn't it you today telling me how much my father meant to you?
We won't argue mom.
Kyalo! Kyalo, open up.
Kyalo!
Musa! Where is he?
-Where is he? -Titus, what is it?
You have been drinking.
What type of stupidity is this? Where is he?
-Stand up! -Titus, what?
Stand up!
Where is he? Where is he?
Where is he?
Let's go.
The world is unpredictable.
It's really late.
