Come on Mum.
That lamp is old and it doesn't even work. It should be thrown away.
Why would you want to throw things away that can be fixed?
Now here, is where you will sign the last one.
Sir, this is not the amount we had agreed on.
This is the first installment.
The rest will be sent to your phone.
Okay then.
-Mzee, this is too little. -Eh-ehh!
No, I am adding on to that.
I'm giving you this to pay for the wheelbarrow.
Be happy man, cheer up! You and your family are saying bye bye
to this hard work on the fields.
And now, you are welcoming the good life of the city.
-It's okay. Thank you. -Okay.
Mzee, how will one start a life
with the little money we are giving them?
It seems as if you are yet to know how to do business.
You. This is what you are spreading? Things of the village.
This fake is news from your friends at Eco Rock.
Even you, you know this is a lie, and you are still working there at Eco Rock.
How do I know it's a lie?
You mean that you have become so cold hearted?
I am just doing my job.
Leave your brother alone. He knows what he is doing.
Not like you.
When a child loses their life in that mine, then what?
Will you be able to live with that guilt?
-You! -Eight times two?
-You! -Why are you interrupting my class?
What are they saying about me?
Why are you telling people that I hit you?
I have not told anybody anything.
Say the truth, how much did they pay you?
Nobody has paid me. We were with you fighting for the same side.
You are the one who took me to hospital when I was hurt.
Why would I say lies about you?
Once the land has been sold, I can build a house in Kilifi.
Once this place is demolished, what will we remain with?
Was it enough?
I'll finish up here.
Don't be tense. Kyalo, is not the kind to hit kids.
That's just stupidity.
You have over done it.
For somebody, who doesn't even oil their lips, overdoing it a little bit,
is a good change.
Grace, the issue of closing the bar, it's… it's too much!
Why are you acting like I have hired an entire stadium?
-It's just a small event. -Grace!
No. You and Kyalo have really taken me in circles concerning your engagement.
This is a celebration for me too.
-Let it go. -Uh-huh. Agh.
That's a lot of money.
These days you don't deal with little cash.
Only big notes.
Big notes come with big problems.
Right now, I don't have time to deal with these problems.
Give me that phone.
There's a way I can help you.
No, I am not here for that reason.
I am here because I want to be listened to.
I know. But you are family. And you really helped me out with Butere.
It's not a must for you to help me.
I want to help you.
All that money, where will you get it from?
I am the treasurer for my chama, so I have access to all the funds for that chama.
Money from the chama? I can't take that.
You will pay once that deal is done.
Or you have another place to get the money from?
You've come here and told me your wife has cut you off. Surely,
you expect me not to do anything?
-Okay. -Okay then.
Remember that the interest is 15%.
I don't want any of your slyness.
Okay then, now leave my kitchen. Let me get done with this.
The food will be ready in a minute.
Okay then.
Put the phone aside, food is ready.
This is a curse we have brought upon ourselves.
-Hello. -Hello!
Slowly. Turn to the other side, here.
Use your side mirror, it's not for shaving your beard.
Come. There.
Okay then.
-Young men, hurry! -Load everything to the truck.
Other things are inside the house.
Hurry up!
-Put back my things! -Huh?
But Esther, we are helping you move out.
-Who is moving out? -You!
-I am not moving out! -What?
I have told you, I am not moving out!
But we had an agreement.
-We had an agreement. -Leave. Leave. Leave!
Take those things fast. Bring them…
Leave! Get out of here! Leave!
Let's go.
What's wrong?
At this time of the day? Pregnancy!
Okay then, go and rest. I will call you when things are ready.
Are you out of your mind?
You could have hurt me!
-Look for me tomorrow, not now. -Kyalo, it can't wait please.
-Look for me tomorrow. -Can we sit?
Tell me.
He never told me that he had a… you have a…
Us.
What are you talking about?
This time, I will not let you come from nowhere,
and stop me from moving on with my life.
Where there is no worry
Jesus will hide me
In the hands of the Lord
Zippy. One more!
Who am I married to? Is it you, or Musa?
Titus, don't do that.
Asshole.
Even a snake, has more backbone than you.
You mean, ten million!
Has passed right by our eyes.
That woman, she is a witch.
Whoever has the title, is the one to sell the land.
Mwalimu never had the title.
Look Titus, we can…
You get me?
Musa, sometimes your mind can really give a bright idea.
Huh? Sometimes…
Doctor, what's wrong? It's a party.
Where is Kyalo?
They'll get here when they get here. Bring the doctor a drink.
Let me call him just once.
Why isn't he picking up my calls?
Where is Kyalo?
We don't know, we are here because of you.
Anna, please open the door so we can talk. I am begging you, please.
You left me standing there like a fool and you were with her.
Anna, I am saying please, just open the door so that we can talk, please.
I will explain.
For now, just open the door. Please.
It's late. And I have work in the morning.
Kyalo, what's wrong?
There's something you should know.
You're scaring me, what is it?
You know me very well, I can't do such a thing.
Tell me first.
Look, Anna.
Let me explain please.
Then explain.
Akisa, was pregnant
when we were still in high school, when we were together.
This information, I've gotten it today.
That's why I didn't come to the party.
-Kyalo, get out. -But I wanted you to know--
Just get out. You and that Akisa of yours. Get out of my life.
But, it's not my fault Anna.
It's not your fault? How is it not your fault?
Kyalo leave!
Kyalo, leave, just go. Kyalo, I have told you leave.
-Anna, I love you, Anna. -Please, just leave.
Catching pneumonia won't help you figure things out.
Come in. I'll make some tea.
What do we do?
Look for Salome.
So today I want you to go into the tunnels in pairs as we need a lot of samples now.
There's no work we are doing here ever again. We have come for our money.
Relax young man, okay?
Don't tense even a little bit.
You will get money today.
Today I wanted to pay you double of what you are usually paid, okay?
Okay then, work on it faster, faster.
But the money, we want our money.
Listen to me.
You will not get any money unless you go into that tunnel. You hear me?
Get lost!
I can't believe how fast Eco Rock has corrupted
the hearts of the people of Tsilanga.
This road is still murrum.
I had forgotten you were speaking to an insider from Eco Rock.
Is that the stupidity that boy usually tells you?
Now look at these people.
I am sure they have sold their property at a throw away price.
And life in the city is a shack in the slum.
When I look at you, I'm reminded of a very difficult day in my life.
You were still a child. I had no choice.
So as to give you a decent life.
What do you mean you had no choice?
You just did what my father told you to do.
Please understand.
That was a very hard time.
Even my sister, your mom,
wasn't able to oppose Mwalimu.
There was one lady, there at church,
who had a children's home.
I don't think that I can remember her last name.
After, taking your son--
You mean when he was stolen?
We met there at Thika.
Since that day, I have not seen them again.
You gave away a child? Just like that?
I was following instructions from Esther, and your father.
Then Mwalimu told us the baby had died.
How will we get this lady?
I have told you everything that I know.
Where is the children's home at?
It's in Makuto.
Visitors! We have visitor!
Let's show the visitors what we've learned in class, okay.
It's okay, no need, please.
Okay. Which one do you want to adopt?
Look at all of them, they're all okay.
-Even this one. Open your mouth. -We are looking for,
we are looking for a specific child.
-Look at these ones. -Mama!
-Very strong, hardworking! -We want a specific child.
But everyone here is okay.
You were given that child when they were very small.
-Okay. -A boy. Barely a week old.
I understand, you want a baby. However finding a baby is hard.
You know, because those ones are adopted fast.
But, you can leave me with your contacts--
Look, Mama.
-The kid came here about ten years ago. -Yes.
You were given by a lady called Salome. Your friend from church.
Follow me to the office.
Who did you say brought the kid?
Sorry, I don't know anyone going by that name.
You must remember, that was my child.
Sorry, I can't help you.
But you have records, we can check.
Why would I keep records of that demon child?
That was a child, who had bad manners.
He was so hard headed and lacked discipline.
In fact, when he left here he ran away.
-Okay, but where is he? -I don't know.
You didn't look for him?
Why would I look for him?
This is stupidity.
Boss, what are you doing? Please leave those files alone.
I am not leaving without that child, you hear me?
-Madam, please leave those files alone! -Stop your stupidity!
Leave my office! Please leave my office!
-I must get that record. -Munyo!
What is going on?
Please remove these people from my office.
You, get out!
-Who do you want to beat? -Get out!
Get out. Let's go.
-This is not over. -Kyalo, let's go.
-It's the only thing we can do. -How now?
By the time the lawyer goes to court,
sees a judge, so much time would have been lost.
Kyalo, we have to do something.
-We should talk to Neema. -What will Neema do?
She may have some connections.
Are you okay?
How did you survive in Nairobi?
I lived in Nairobi for a bit but, it's like a farm that grows stones.
But,
We should look for food somewhere.
Who will go to the village this late?
Nobody is coming with me?
There are hyenas.
You are all cowards.
Muli, let's go.
-You! -You!
Come here!
Come here.
Are you a chicken thief?
Isn't this the boy from the clinic?
Why are you stealing?
I am hungry, my friend too.
Are you one of them? The kids who work at the mine.
He is one of them.
I'm not going to work there again. They are not paying me, my wages.
Take this.
-It's okay? -Hmm.
Where are your parents?
I don't have parents.
What's your name?
And where did you grow up?
I didn't like the lady from there. She used to hit me all the time.
Is she called Mama Laiza?
I am not going back there. Don't take me back there.
We won't take you back.
Wait there, okay? Kyalo.
What are you thinking?
We can't be sure.
Go check there.
