[Nkosi whispering] Let's go.
[Evans] Please leave a message.
[tense music continues]

[Ntsiki] Siya.

[theme music playing]
[theme music drumbeat]

[Ntsiki panting] Yeah?

[kissing sound]
[mobile phone ringing]
Tina wait.
[Tina chuckling] No.
- [Luthando] Let me just... - You said we'd finish off what we started.
- [phone ringing] - [both moaning] Mm.
[Luthando] It's Luthando here.
- [Luthando] Please leave a message. - [Ayanda sighs]
[tense music continues]
[car engine rumbles]
[tense music playing]
- [Cebo] Father! - [fan whirring]
[yelling] Father!
Father?
[whimpers]
- [tense music continues] - [whimpering]
Phillip,
I need you and Charlie here at the warehouse.
- Someone has killed my father. - [sad music playing]
[Siya grunting]
[water trickles]
- [heartbeat sound] - [high pitched ringing]
- [Nkosi grunting] - [ringing continues]
[Nkosi grunting, voice echoing]
- [Mrs. Gasa echoing] I'm sorry... - [Nkosi grunting]
[Mrs. Gasa echoing] They'll blame you for this murder.
- [tense music playing] - [high pitched ringing continues]
[Mr. Gasa] We must go to the police.
- [Nkosi grunting] - [high pitched ringing]
[Nkosi] These people bribe the cops.
[grunts]
[Nkosi] This would have long...
- [Nkosi] Uh, Mom. - [Mrs. Gasa] Sorry.
[grimace] Ah.
Ntsiki.
- [heartbeat sounds] - [high pitched ringing]
Are you okay?
- [heartbeat sounds] - [high pitched ringing]
[weakly] Yeah, I think so.
- [Ntsiki sighs] - [high pitched ringing continues]
- [Nkosi] Ntsiki. - [high pitched ringing continues]
- Ntsiki. - [Ntsiki grunts]
- [ringing] - [voice echoing] What happened there?
Explain to me, what happened?
- [heartbeat] - [ringing]
What did you do to Evans and the councilor?
- [heartbeat] - [ringing]
I have to see Nosisa. [breathing shakily]
- [sad music playing] - [Ntsiki grunting]
you guard my parents with your life, okay?
Father,
please go with Nkosi.
There's something I need to do.
[Mr. Gasa] Ntsiki.
- [Mr. Gasa] Ntsiki. - [Mrs. Gasa] Ntsiki.
Please my child, it's not safe.
[Nkosi grunts]
[sad music continues]
[dramatic music playing]
- [birds chirping] - [indistinct voice on TV]
[Ma Mbatha] Good Lord!
[Luthando] Ayanda.
- [Luthando] What happened? - I was mugged.
What?
Where were you? Babe?
I tried to call you.
[spluttering] I'm so sorry. You know, er,
my phone... Are you okay, though?
I'm need a shower.
I'll tell Lulu, she can prepare the guest room.
- No, Ayanda. Babe. Ayanda. - [dog barking in distance]
[door slams shut]
[tense music playing]
[Siya grunting]
What happened?
- [grunting] - [tense music playing]
Who's that witch?
What?
[whimpering] Whoa, Cebo!
Our father is dead.
What do you mean he's dead?
You did this.
[spluttering] Wait, I was... I was trying to make sure no one gets hurt.
Let me tell you the situation you're facing now, my boy.
Our father is dead.
So you better start talking and tell me who that witch is, or else...
[Siya grunts]
[Siya coughing]
I'm gonna give you some time to think about the situation.
[Siya coughing]
[Ntsiki crying] Please make it stop.
- [Ntsiki] You've got to make it stop. - [Nosisa] I don't have the power to do so.
But if I'm killing innocent people, what will become of me?
Killing people is not your purpose.
You girl, you are The Brave One.
You arrive when there's danger.
The reason you're here is to protect us.
Right?
- [crying] - [soft music playing]
- [crying] If I cant, then... - [Nosisa gasps]
Then allow me.
Let me believe in you! Let me guide you on the way!
- [Ntsiki crying] - [tense music playing]
[Mr. Gasa] We can stay here. It's safe.
- [Unam] Ha! - [Mr. Gasa] How is it going, my man?
Come in, my elders. Put your stuff here.
Thank you so much for this, my brother.
[Unam chuckling]
Well, good sir, it's not a penthouse in Hayati but,
you're welcome.
[door clicks shut]
[Mr, Gasa] Er, my brother, thank you so much for your help.
Hey, no problem.
Thanks, man.
[birds chirping in distance]
- What's up with you? What's going on? - [Nkosi sighs, grunts]
- [Nkosi grunting] - Hey, man. Easy, man.
[Unam] Nkosi, what's going on, my brother?
[Nkosi grunts]
[Nkosi sighs deeply]
[Nosisa] We will find peace over here. Hm.
[Ntsiki] You said I can go to the place of the dead, right?
The world of the departed.
Can I go and bring Funeka back here?
Listen, if you enter the world of the dead and you're unable to control your power,
you will lose your anointing forever. It won't come back.
You have to forget about your old life.
- You're no longer Ntsiki Gasa. - [tense music playing]
To be honest, you never were her.
You have to be filled with divine power.
Because if you don't, the tree will surely die.
What's more, if the tree dies, the old ways will all die with it.
And if there's no magic, what hope is left for our people?
- [Nosisa] Hmm? - [Nkosi sighs]
- [Cebo] Phillip? - Yes, sir.
- Did you find it? - Yeah, I got it from the house.
[tense music playing]
[Siya] What now, Cebo? What are you doing?
Cebo, what are you doing? [panting]
[Siya's phone pings]
[tense music continues]
What the hell are you doing?
[Ntsiki yells] Hey!
- [indistinct whispering voices] - [dramatic music playing]
Forgive me, my sister. Please forgive me.
[dramatic music ends]
- We're back in business. - [tractor engine rumbles]
I said we're back in business!
Good.
- Push through. - Yes sir, we'll push.
[tense music playing]
They're up and running again.
- Finally. - [Sipho laughing]
[tense music playing]
[voice on TV] Councilor Nkomo's body
was found in an abandoned warehouse this morning.
No suspects have been arrested.
The police commissioner announced that no stone will be left unturned...
[Nkosi] I found a car that will take us to KZN.
[indistinct voice on TV]
No, we won't go without Ntsiki.
- Dad, Ntsiki is not okay. - Hey, I don't care.
I'm saying...
We're not going without Ntsiki.
[Nosisa] She's not Gasa's child.
[Leano] Really?
She's the one in Mother's vision.
- Well, that's a true miracle, then. - Hmmm.
Let's keep it between us two.
[tense music playing]
[Leano] So what are we going to do?
[Nosisa] We'll wait,
[Nosisa] to find out where the bracelets are.
[mobile phone ringing]
[tense music continues]
[Nosisa] Are they starting again?
Gather your siblings.
I have to go. They've started again.
You guard her.
[tense music continues]
- [siren wailing in distance] - [tense music continues]
How do you think he was killed?
Witchcraft, I don't know.
[mobile phone ringing]
[tense music playing]
Yeah.
[worker] There are some residents still fighting the eviction order.
What do you want us to do?
Send in the brigade.
- [crowd screaming] - [dramatic music playing]
[threatening shouts in language]
[gunshot]
[crowd screaming]
Where is my daughter?
[Nosisa sighs, groans]
Leave us.
She's not your daughter, is she?
You found her.
And then you brought her up as your own.
How could you know that?
She wasn't raised in the right way.
And now... she suffers.
Don't talk to us like that, Nosisa.
[Mr. Gasa sighs]
[Mr. Gasa] Where is my daughter?
I'll take only...
you, to see her. Come on, then.
[tense music playing]
[Nkosi] Dad, they're waiting for us outside.
I can't leave here without Ntsiki.
And neither can I.
Tell her.
I won't leave here without Ntsiki.
[tense music playing]
Yes, man?
What's up?
Nkomo is dead.
What happened?
It's not clear.
That's not good.
His son was just here.
He wants us to keep the deal we had with his father.
He's not wasting time. Is he even grieving?
I think we have a choice.
Let's hear what he says.
He's too young, though.
He won't fit in this business.
[mobile phone ringing]
I'm sorry.
- I've got to take this. - [mobile phone ringing]
[mobile phone beeps]
Ayanda.
[Ayanda] I'm in Ilanga. The tree is in danger.
Luthando, give me just one more chance,
I'll show you. I swear I'm not crazy.
If you don't believe me after that, then we'll do anything you want.
[clears throat] Um, my love, this is not the right time.
[Ayanda] Luthando. You must see for yourself, please. I beg you,
before it's too late.
Just one last chance.
[commotion in the crowd]
[Luthando] Okay, send me the address.
- [tense music playing] - Oh, I've got to go. Family calls.
Hey bro, I brought you something to eat.
It's tripe and pap, your favorite.
- I hope you're gonna enjoy it. - Hey, Phillip.
Correct.
Listen. [clears throat]
Listen.
I need one favor.
I need to call one of my friends, please.
No, Phillip listen.
I don't want them to come here. You know I don't want them to come here.
Because if they arrive here,
they'll see exactly what's happening.
Just one phone call.
Ha, thank you.
[dramatic music playing]
[Jimmy] Use me, Father. Use me, Father.
You're the root to the healers [yelling] root to
the healers!
- [Jimmy] Use me, my Father! - [Ayanda] You are the way.
Work through me, Ndyebo!
- [Jimmy] Use me, Father! - [Luthando] Okay, I've seen enough.
[splashing sound]
[ominous music playing]
- [ringing] - [ominous music playing]
[splashing]
[Ayanda] Luthando.
[Ndyebo's voice echoing] I've told you to let me be.
The tree is under threat, please my uncle.
[splashing sound]
[ringing]
[Ndyebo] Why did you call me?
[Ayanda] The tree, Uncle.
The tree is in danger.
[eerie sound]
[Ndyebo's voice] Only The Brave One can save the Tree of Life.
[tense music playing]
- [Mr. Gasa] Ntsiki! - [Ntsiki] Huh.
- Ntsiki! - [Ntsiki] Father?
- [Mr.Gasa] Ntsiki! - [Ntsiki] Father!
[Ntsiki squeals] Father!
- [Ntsiki squeals] - [Mr. Gasa] Oh, my child!
[Mr. Gasa] Oh, Ntsiki.
- Are you okay, Dad? - Of course, and you?
I'm fine, Dad, I'm okay.
[Nosisa] The Brave One!
It's time for you to see now,
that what you think is real, is not real.
Wele Gasa...
is not your father.
- Father, what is she talking about? - [Nosisa] Thandaza Gasa...
is not your mother.
Dad, what is she saying?
[melancholic music playing]
[sighing]
What, Pop, what is she saying?
[sighs] My child...
We are in danger.
We must leave, and we have to leave right now.
[crying] My father, please tell me she's lying.
Please tell me she's lying, Dad, please. I'm begging you. She's lying, right?
Right? [crying]
- My child... I love you. - [Ntsiki crying]
That's the only thing that matters.
[Ntsiki sniffling]
Was that why mom didn't love me, didn't care about me?
No.
I know that your mother isn't perfect,
but she loves you so very much.
- She never loved me. - We love you, my baby.
Hm-mm. [crying]
- Please go on without me. - [wistful music playing]
[crying]
Your mother...
Your mother said I should tell you that we can't leave without you, my child.
- We're a family, baby. - [Ntsiki crying]
If you're not my real parents, who are they?
I don't know. I found you on the street.
[Mr. Gasa crying]
[Nosisa] You were born from the tree of life.
It is your mother and it's your father.
[Mr. Gasa] Ntsiki.
- [Mr. Gasa] Ntsiki. - [Ntsiki crying]
[Nosisa] Stop her. [yells] Stop her!
[Mr. Gasa] Ntsiki!
[Mr.Gasa] It's you.
You put all this nonsense in my child's head.
Oh, Wele, you have no idea what's going on here.
The danger we're facing. No idea at all.
[door opens]
[Mrs. Gasa sighs] Where's our child?
She's gone. I couldn't stop her.
You know her, how stubborn she is. Just like her mother.
[Nkosi] No.
- [Nkosi] We have to hurry. - [Mrs. Gasa sighs]
Councilor Nkomo's men can show up any minute.
- [Nkosi] Now let's go. - [Mr. Gasa] We can't leave without her.
No, Wele, my love. Maybe there's another way.
That lady, the one who paid for Funeka's funeral.
She's an influential person. She can help us.
- Don't you think? - [Mr. Gasa sighs]
[mobile phone ringing]
Mrs. Gasa.
Slow down. What's going on?
I saw her face.
She's the dead girl's sister.
Ntsiki Gasa?
She's The Brave One?
[tense music plays]
- [Ntsiki] Tsk-tsk. - [Hluli gasps]
[vocal music playing]
[Hluli sniffles]
[vocal music continues]
Friend.
[crying] Friend...
[sighs]
I'm not a Gasa.
Wait, what? [splutters]
I don't understand.
They just found me on the street like a pile of trash.
- My friend, don't talk like that. Come. - [mutters] Okay
[Ntsiki whimpering]
[crying] I don't know.
Nosisa says it doesn't matter.
She says I'm not human. [crying]
Friend, I told you to stay away from her.
You were right. You were so right, my friend.
I'm sorry I didn't listen to you. [crying]
Ntsiki...
People are saying you had a hand in Nkomo's death.
I did. [whimpering]
But I had no choice.
[wistful music plays]
I had no choice, my friend.
[hesitates] Uh, it's okay.
Uh, I'm here.
- Uh, I'm here for you. - [sighs]
Can I borrow your phone
and some money?
I need your help, I really do.
What are you going to do with it?
- It's better you don't know. - [wistful music playing]
[Cebo] Guys! [laughing]
Guess what, my boy?
- I have a date with your girlfriend. - [dog barking in distance]
We're going to meet at your place.
- No listen, Cebo, let me go with you. - [Philip] No, stop.
Now listen, tell me my boy,
what ones does she like? Red or white.
- I mean, flowers, of course. - Let me go with you. I will talk to her.
Hey boy, your girlfriend killed our dad.
- What else do you want to know? - It's not like Dad was innocent.
I'll tell your girlfriend that you still love her.
Who knows, hey?
Maybe I can steal a little kiss for you.
[clicks tongue]
Cebo, please don't. Cebo!
[exhales]
[sighs]
Did you really need to bring those people though, Luthando?
What if we scare them away?
You know, Ntsiki,
she has a gift.
So we must take her now.
If she resists, we will kidnap her.
That's our last resort.
[tense music playing]
Oh, here they are now.
- It's them, my love. - [Mr. Gasa] Eh, okay.
Where is Ntsiki now?
- Just wait here. I'm coming. - [tense music playing]
- Ma Thandaza. - [Mrs. Gasa] Hi, Ayanda!
How are you doing?
- [Mrs. Gasa] We're fine, thanks.. - Where's Ntsiki?
- We want Ntsiki. - Ntsiki is not here. It's just us.
Wait, ma'am, who are those men in the car?
Uh, don't worry about them now.
- We're here to help you. - [Mrs. Gasa] Thank you.
We do need your help.
[spluttering] The councilor's son, Cebo,
wants to kill us.
- [Mr. Gasa] Nkosi's life, Ntsiki's life... - [Ayanda] Where is Ntsiki?
[Mr. Gasa] She's not here!
I can see that, but we can't help you without her.
Ayanda, what do you mean by that? What are you saying?
Why is she suddenly so important to you?
[Mrs. Gasa] Calm down, Nkosi, she's going to help us.
- [Mrs. Gasa] Ayanda. - We need Ntsiki, Ma Thandaza.
[Ayanda] Where is Ntsiki?
We need Ntsiki!
[tense music playing]
Tell your men to get out of here.
- [Ayanda] What's going on now? - [Luthando] Take that woman.
- [Ayanda] Calm down. Just calm down. - [Nkosi] Tell your men to go back.
[Nkosi] Tell your men to get back.
- [Mrs. Gasa] What's this now? - [Ayanda] Luthando.
- Take her. Take this woman. - [Ayanda] Luthando!
- [Luthando] Come, come with me. - [Ayanda] Luthando!
- [Mrs. Gasa] Let me go. Wele. - [Mr. Gasa] Let go of her!
- [Mrs. Gasa] Wele. Let me go. - [Mr. Gasa] Thandaza!
[Ayanda] What are you doing, Luthando?
[Mrs. Gasa yelling] Let go of me!
[tense music playing]
- Hey you, dogs! - [Mrs. Gasa shouting] Let go!"
Thandaza!
- [Mrs. Gasa shrieking] - Thandaza!
[gunshots]
[tense music playing]
[Mrs. Gasa shrieking] Wele!
[tires screeching]
[Nkosi yelling] Argh!
[tires continue screeching]
[Mrs. Gasa yells] Help!
[sobbing]
- Wele, my love! - [muttering indistinctly]
[crying] Wele,
[whispering] You look after her. Be a mother to her.
[sobbing] No, my love, no!
- [sad music playing] - [siren wailing from a distance]
[Mrs. Gasa wailing]
- [Siya] Listen, you got my message, right? - Sure, we got it.
I need to get out of here.
Okay sure, but how?
[vehicle engine starts]
- [dramatic music playing] - [vehicle engine revving]
[engine continues revving]
[dramatic music continues]
[tires screeching]
[mutters] Fuck.
Ntsiki!
- Ntsiki. - Siya!
[chuckles] Siya!
[yells] Siya!
[yelling] Siya!
[dramatic music playing]
- [Siya] Hey, no! Cebo! - [female voice in crowd screaming]
- [Siya] Cebo, No! Cebo. - [Ntsiki muffled shrieking]
[dramatic music continues]
Look what you've done. Cebo!
- [cries] Cebo! - [dramatic music continues]
[dramatic music continues]
- [tires screeching] - [dramatic music continues]
Ntsiki.
[sad music playing]
[mobile phone ringing]
Hello?
You see, the girl who killed my father...
she's gonna be dead soon
in Ilanga.
This is a lesson to everyone.
So...
If Ntsiki Gasa's name shows up in the newspapers,
don't be surprised.
- Ayanda, let's go. - [tense music continues]
- What's going on, Luthando? - [Luthando] Baby, lets go.
[whimpering]
No!
[yelling] Cebo!
[Siya yelling] Cebo! Cebo, No! Cebo! Cebo, man!
[siya] Cebo!
Cebo, please, my brother.
You see, my boy,
It's high time I show people what will happen
when you betray your family.
Greet your ancestors.
[Siya yells] Cebo!
- [tense music playing] - [Ntsiki grunting]
[whimpering]
- [grunting] - [Siya panting]
[eerie sound]
Ntsiki, get out.
[muffled] Mm-mm, I'm not leaving without you.
[lighter clicks on and off]
[Ntsiki muffled screaming]
[gasps, continues screaming]
[Ntsiki yelling]
- [tense music continues] - [yelps, screaming]
- [sizzling sound] - [screaming continues]
Work, man!
- [tree creaking] - [tense music continues]
[sad music playing]
[both coughing]
- [tense music playing] - [Siya coughing]
[Ntsiki whispering] I...
- [crying] I wanna die like this. - [Siya] Okay.
