The Brave Ones (2022) s01e01 Episode Script

1
[eerie music playing]
There are three worlds that exist.
The world of the living
the world of those not yet born
and finally, the world of the dead.
Connecting all these worlds
is the tree of life.
From it comes magic.
At the dawn of time, magic was plentiful.
All the world was good.
Then it happened that men's hearts
were all captured by greed.
They all knew that.
They were called the Wise Ones,
The ones devoted to tending the tree,
were the strongest in wielding magic.
So they tried to seize the tree of life,
by force.
But one of the great leaders
of the Wise Ones
used the cuttings
from the roots of this tree.
And he used them
to create protectors of the tree.
He used them to create The Brave Ones.

If you're Black and from the township,
let's share ideas. ♪
Hey, greetings, Ma Dlamini.
Hi, nice to see you. How are you there?
You can't tap the land
Oh damn the landlord. You can't also be ♪
[woman1] They are at it again,
evicting people, hmm?
- [man1] Huh?
- [woman1] Evicting each and every person
who doesn't want to take their bribe.
- [man1] Hang on, are you sure.
- Yeah.
[woman2 laughing]
Uh-huh!
They're not going to listen to you,
until you fight fire with fire.
[woman3] What do you mean, Ntsiki?
I mean we really should stand up to them.
- My child,
- Yes, Dad.
violence creates problems.
But what they're
doing is violent, isn't it?
Yeah but then if you want
to have a say, come to the meetings.
I have double shifts all month.
We never see a cent of that money.
Leave her, at least she tries.
Ntsiki,
you'll be late for work, my child.
You're right, Dad.
Have a good day.
[Mom] Okay!
[man2] Morning!
Hey, Brother-in-law!
I see you're ready
to save the world, right?
- I have to do it.
- Okay!
- I have to.
- All the best.
- Cool, be safe.
- Sure. Bye, fam.
[brother in law]
Er, babe come on, let's go.
This child is always looking
for trouble, you know?
No, Mom, she's trying.
- Trying what, Funeka?
- [Dad sighs] Hi!
- [Funeka] Let's show these people.
- [brother in law] Let's sure do this.
Have yourself a good day.
[worker1] Hey, Cosmo! Hold it there.
[tense music playing]
[worker2] Up with that.
[indistinct whispering voices]
[Narrator] They knew they were wise ones
Those who tended the tree.
They knew they had great magical powers,
they knew that their
magic was strong and powerful.
- [Ntsiki panting]
- Ntsiki.
- Are you alright?
- I am alright, girl.
Just feeling a bit dizzy. That's all.
But I'm not surprised. All of these
double shifts that you've been working.
Yes, well,
big plans need serious money, friend.
- Big plans?
- Yes. [laughing]
Do you remember when we were kids,
we used to pass that house?
No, friend, but Nosisa is harmless.
- Shh!
- What?
[Ntsiki] You can't just say her name.
- What if we turn into frogs?
- Ribbit!
[Ntsiki laughing] No.
- Come on. [laughing]
- [Ntsiki laughing]
- You're crazy, my friend.
- Ribbit.
- [laughing]
- [ominous music playing]
[man 1] Ntsiki.
Why don't you respond to my texts?
- I told you, I don't do that anymore.
- Mm-mm.
You're the best at this.
You know that as much as I do.
This so-called job of yours
it won't last.
[kisses teeth]
[upbeat music playing]
[man 2] What's up?
And now, who's car is this?
Er, you know, it's Khaya's car.
So I thought I'd spoil myself a bit.
But look,
if you give me kiss, then maybe I'll
give you a lift to work. What do you say?
Get in.
[man 2] Mm-hmm.
[clears throat]
- [man2] Must be hard being single, right?
- [Ntsiki laughing]
[man 2] Wow!
Sort of thought I was born in cash ♪
As long as they can take me
To the school and back ♪
Its a little ♪
Step up from my daddy's class ♪
[man 1] Now you tell me,
who said you should stop working?
[construction worker1] It's protocol.
This might be some kind of burial ground.
Why didn't the land surveyor mention that?
[worker 1] I don't know what to tell you
but these things look ancient.
Send them over
so that I can have a look. And listen
Let us send the workers home.
- Will do.
- Okay.
These eviction notices are illegal.
Some of you
have been here for generations.
[passionately] Councilor Nkomo
should be supporting us.
- Not those casino developers!
- [indistinct chatter]
[man 1] Where is Councilor Nkomo?
- [voices in crowd] Where is he?
- [man1] Huh?
If people decide to take the small
monies they are giving them, fine.
But if we refuse, they can not put us out.
No.
[Fineka] Ilanga is our home!
- Ilanga!
- [crowd] Rise!
- Ilanga!
- [crowd] Rise!
- Ilanga!
- [crowd] Rise!
[both laughing]
Baby, um, [kiss teeth]
- I forgot to tell you.
- Yeah?
So they finally called me,
from the gallery.
- Huh?
- They say they wanna see my stuff.
- That's mighty news!
- Yes, Baby. [laughing]
We're going to London, right?
- Huh? Woah.
- We're going to London.
We still need money
for accommodation and flights, you see.
Things like that.
Come on, Babe.
Okay, I'll work double shifts.
Or triple shifts
if I have to, in this stupid place.
- I'm begging you.
- Ntsiki. Babe
Let's go live the life
we were meant to live, please Babe.
- [Ntsiki squeals]
- But wait baby, just wait. Er
what about your family?
Have you told them?
Er
My family
I'll let them know
when the time comes. Okay?
But for now, we're going to London.
- Right? [squeals]
- We're going to London.
- [Ntsiki] We're going to London, right?
- Come here.
[man1] Hmm! These bracelets are beautiful.
- They look old too.
- [man 2 huffs]
It's not what we need.
[man1] But it's interesting. I wouldn't be
surprised if they're valuable.
[man2] If so we should
send someone to check it out.
Take a look around, see if there's more.
These investors are cut-throat.
[man 1] There's no need
to tell people where we got these things.
It could help if they're worth something.
How, pal?
Maybe we can use them as an exchange,
if the government is happy.
They'll get rid of the trash in Ilanga.
- Can you really do that?
- [chuckles]
- No one cares about poor people.
- [tense music playing]
You see this casino?
People love money.
But let's find out first
if these things are worth anything.
Alright?
[tense music continues]
[heart beating faintly]
[drumbeat sound]
[indistinct whispering voices]
[indistinct whispering voices continue]
- [child] What does she want?
- [Ntsiki panting]
[female voice on TV] An hour later,
we'll get to the full lunar eclipse,
the so-called Blood Moon,
because suddenly the moon will be
[Luthando] I wanted
to bring you coffee, you know.
[woman] Lindani was very upset.
He saw a woman in white clothes again.
The woman in white clothes?
It's the same vision that Mlungisi saw
- before he died.
- My love, you can't know that for sure.
Listen, I did some research.
I found a good pediatrician in London.
But we've already been here, my love.
Remember,
Mlungisi also saw
all the best doctors in the world.
Let's not lose hope.
- [Ntsiki] Hello. Hi.
- [man 1] Hi.
- [Ntsiki] How are you?
- Good.
Good. What can I get for you?
- Ah, what do you say, tripe and pap?
- [man2] Sure.
Uh guys, tripe and pap is only
for the lunchtime menu, I'm afraid.
- [man2] Uh
- [Ntsiki] Yeah.
No, it's fine.
- Thank you, my sister.
- [Ntsiki] No
No, don't go. Um,
let me go talk to the chef,
I'm sure we can make a plan for you.
You would do that for us?
- Yeah, no problem.
- [man 1] Thank you.
Okay sure. Have a sit.
Oh, sorry. Um,
this is for you. Here you go.
Welcome to The Grill and West.
Enjoy.
[indistinct chatter in background]
- What?
- [others laughing]
[Funeka] Yo, guys.
That was a very bad turnout, hey?
[Nkosi kisses teeth]
These people are scared.
What, scared? No, guys.
[Funeka] We need to show the community
that if we stand together as one,
- [Nkosi] Yeah.
- we're stronger than these people.
Tonight, we go door-to-door.
Right? Let's split up.
- [Nkosi] Yes, guys.
- Yeah. Thank you, guys.
[Nkosi] Yeah.
So, where do we start?
You tell me, you're the one
who said we should split up,
- so
- [Nkosi] Ah.
- I don't know. Hmmm!
- I wasn't talking about married people.
Married?
Don't count
your chickens before they hatch.
- Uh-huh?
- [Funeka laughing]
But listen, babe
I want to say thank you.
Thank you for everything.
Your support means the world to me.
I really appreciate you.
I love you.
I love you.
- See you later?
- Sure.
- Sure.
- Sure.
[soft music playing]
Please don't forget your change.
But I left it for you.
I made a plan for you
and your friends to get tripe
and you leave me this?
Relax.
You can just tell me how much you want.
You decide how much I'm worth.
Tip jars are right behind you.
Mine's the blue one.
- Girl, teach me your ways.
- [Ntsiki tittering]
No ways, girl. Yo, you know you don't.
- Wow!
- [Ntsiki] Yes!
- Yes, queen. Yes.
- Of course.
He wanted to leave 20 rands.
- Imagine!
- [Ntsiki] Imagine, wow!
[metal soldering]
[man 1] Hey, young lady.
[Funeka] Councilor Nkomo,
don't you have people to bribe?
- Get in the car, let's talk.
- [dog barks in distance]
[car door opens]
Tell me
What's all this fighting?
[Councilor Nkomo] Hm?
Do you know that these developers,
are bringing money here
that this community has never ever seen?
Ever!
You have a mind of a child.
- I'm not gonna sit here
- [Councilor] Just being
- and listen to your nonsense.
- [Councilor Nkomo] so difficult.
- We all know that you're corrupt.
- Hey.
Hey.
You know what?
There's no child that's
going to drag my name through the mud.
- You don't scare me.
- And damage my reputation, you hear me?
And we are not going anywhere.
Your people must understand
that we are not going to move.
[car door slams shut]
This won't solve the problem, sir.
[dog barking]
[bins clank]
[dog barking in distance]
- [dog barking in distance]
- [bottle falls]
[footsteps approaching]
- [door opens]
- [Funeka pants]
Who's there?
- [tense music playing]
- [dog continues barking]
[sighs]
Benjamin.
[Hluli] No, I don't want to.
- [Benjamin] Come on, let's just
- No Benjamin.
- [Hluli] No.
- [Benjamin] Come on.
- [Ntsiki yelling] What are you doing?
- [Benjamin] Okay, wait.
- [Hluli] It's okay.
- No, it's not okay, friend.
The minute he starts with his
nonsense again,
kick him in the nuts, okay?
- You, give me my tips, you pervert.
- Hey.
You are not getting anything.
You won't get a cent out of me tonight.
- Ntsiki! Ntsiki, whoa!
- No, stop it. Security!
- [Benjamin] Come, quick!
- [Ntsiki] I'm taking what's mine.
[sighs] Friend, what's gotten into you?
[Hluli] Ntsiki?
Bingo.
[man] Why do you
have to be so impulsive, babe?
Don't worry, I'll find a job or something.
Yeah, but you know
it took you long to get this job.
I'll find another job.
I'll be fine. I'll sort myself out.
- Maybe you could sell that. [chuckles]
- No!
I need these for the exhibition.
You know what,
maybe we should just forget about London.
Oh, but babe
Oh come on, don't be like that, babe.
Jeez.
[mumbling] I don't know
why you complain like this everyday.
- Is this your tip money? [laughing]
- [soft music playing]
- Baby?
- Yeah. [laughing]
- You're a hustler.
- [Ntsiki] Of course.
- [man] Hmm?
- [kissing sound]
Let's go, I'll tip you.
How much are you tipping?
- You'll see.
- [Ntsiki] Okay.
- Hmm, you'll see.
- Lets go get my tips then.
[Ntsiki chuckling] Let's go.
[Ayanda] It didn't matter
what happened to them.
It didn't matter how difficult it was.
The Brave Ones were never defeated.
And you, my young lion
you are brave, like The Brave Ones.
Are The Brave Ones real?
In a certain way,
all tales have some truth to them,
because they teach us.
They teach us how different people live
and how they get
through times that are challenging.
- [Lindani coughing]
- [Ayanda] Shh.
[soft music playing]
[drumbeat playing]
Ayanda.
Been a long time.
Welcome here.
Thank you, my uncle.
The passing of your mother
has truly made us strangers.
So what brings you here?
My child is dying,
my uncle, like his brother.
I need your assistance.
No!
You are talking
about a very difficult spell.
And tell me, have you been to your sister?
No, Uncle.
Oh, well, that's clear to see.
That the Wise Ones
no longer see eye-to-eye.
There must be something we can do.
Only the blood of The Brave One
can save your child now.
[Ayanda] I went to see my uncle, Ndyebo.
I needed his help with Lindani, my love.
But my love, we've spoken about this.
I had to do something.
Our child is dying, only he can help us.
- How can I get this blood, my uncle?
- Hmm.
That's a difficult question.
In the first place,
The Brave One will have to return.
We have waited for a long time.
There are those that say
that she may never return.
But there is still hope, right, my uncle?
Yes, indeed.
But there are many things that need to be
aligned just right.
And the Tree of Life must be in danger
for the Brave One to return.
- [Luthando] The Tree of Life?
- [Ayanda] Yes.
It is real. I saw it as a child.
- And where is this tree?
- [Ayanda scoffs]
Actually,
it can only be seen by believers.
But there is a way to achieve this.
You know, if Ilanga is under threat,
the tree is also under threat.
[Ndyebo] The heavens must align.
[Ayanda]
The red moon will appear on Sunday.
Can't you see what's happening?
Ayanda, I don't believe it.
The Brave One must be reborn,
but that can only be
achieved through death.
All her ancient magic
and her ancient powers
will all have to be
brought back to her completely.
This power then, where is it kept?
Inside her weapons.
And where can
I find these weapons, my uncle?
[laughs]
If I knew that, I would have them myself.
Her weapons
will be revealed in their own time.
[Luthando] The weapons?
It's like you're talking about
- sci-fi movies. It's unbelievable.
- [Ayanda] Okay, it's fine, Luthando.
So I haven't figured out
the weapons part yet, okay?
But if you don't want to see,
Luthando, that this is
truly the way to save your child
Listen love, I can't see it.
Understand?
I'm going to bed now.
I'm going to pretend that you
and I never spoke about this.
Luthando!
Goodnight.
- [Funeka] Mama.
- Hmm?
[Funeka] You know
I just got invited to a big event
at National Museum.
That's a good thing, isn't it?
Yeah, it's that Mbatha lady.
She was supposed to mentor
a bunch of us a while back but,
I never got to meet her.
She's married to one
of the developers, you know.
[Funeka laughing]
But I think that thing is a scam,
just to make them look good.
Stand still, please. Just stand still.
So, are you going?
- [Funeka] Me?
- Hmm.
Oh, I'm going, yo.
Those people think that they can use me.
I am, in fact, gonna use them.
I'm gonna make it a point
that I speak to whoever of their VIPs
is willing to listen
to what I have to say about Ilanga.
So What do you think?
- Hmmm!
- [door opens]
This is nice.
Knock-knock.
[Hluli] How's everyone doing?
[both] We're good.
- Um, is Ntsiki home?
- [Funeka] Yeah.
Yeah, upstairs in her bedroom, Hluli.
We don't know why she's hiding.
Um, okay.
[Hluli] Knock-knock.
- Hi, friend.
- [Hluli] How are you?
- [Nstiki] I'm fine and you?
- Listen friend, I'm sorry about yesterday.
[both] Hmmm!
Don't worry, he's a dick.
Anyways, I have some good news.
Okay, let's hear it.
So I got offered a job
at this museum event that I can't attend,
and I gave them your name.
It's a once off,
but it's something, right?
Friend, seriously? You're
- such a life saver.
- [Hluli laughing]
- Goodness
- [Hluli] Okay, bye-bye.
- [Funeka] Bye.
- And you're leaving your friend behind?
Yes, auntie.
[door closes]
Let's go outside,
I want to see it clearly in the sun.
Goodness! So what's up with you?
Aren't you going to work?
Er, it didn't work out
at that place I was working.
Ah, but it doesn't matter.
I already found
another job somewhere else.
I'm gonna take a shift at, em,
[splutters] celebration thing
or what-what at the National Museum.
- No way!
- [Ntsiki] What?
I just got an invite there.
- No way! [squeals in laughter]
- [Funeka squeals in laughter]
- No! Meaning I'll be serving you starters,
- [Funeka laughing]
- odeons and what not.
- [Funeka] Exactly, my dear.-

You guys, people with money,
you act like you care
about poor people but it's all lies.
We won't move.
We won't move.
We won't move.
[Funeka] I said, "we won't move!"
We won't move!
- We won't move!
- [P.A. system goes off]
- We won't hey!
- [crowd] Whoa!
We won't move! We won't move!
We won't move!
We won't move. Hey, let go of me.
[woman] Excuse me! I have never

- How dare you?
- Oh, please!
You and I both know that,
that is just a publicity stunt to you.
[Funeka scoffs, kisses teeth]
See you at home.
[Funeka] Jeez.
- I need a drink.
- Yes, ma.
Scholars speculate
that these bracelets may even predate
the great civilizations
of Mapungubwe and Great Zimbabwe.
So you can imagine
how excited we are to have them.
Now I'm hoping
we can persuade our generous donors
- Mr. and Mrs. Mbatha to do the honors.
- [applause]
[dramatic music playing]
[Ndyebo] Her weapons
will reveal themselves in their own time.
And the Tree of Life must be under threat.
[museum curator]
Now the experts say, in all likelihood,
that these bracelets would have been
[Ayanda] These are
the weapons he was talking about.
We have to find a way to take them back.
This is not the time for that, my love.
- Please, Luthando.
- will be protected by the museum's
- Ayanda, just stop it please.
- state of the art security.
Once again,
thank you to the wonderful Mbathas.
[applause]
- [indistinct conversation]
- [applause]
[soft music plays]
Hey, Ntsiki!
[clears throat] Sorry to scare you. Um
I went back to the restaurant
and they said you left.
- Oh, yeah. Um, you know what
- [officer] You stop!
The boss's bracelet has been stolen. So,
- we're searching every single person
- [Ntsiki] Don't touch me.
[Siya] No, whoa.
You know, you can't be
the one who searches her.
Go call a woman to come help.
She can search her and you
can search me.
Wait here, I'm coming.
So you're seriously
going to wait for him to come back?
Or are you going to leave
with me through the back?
And get us some drinks?
[hesitates] I can't.
I've got this thing later on.
Oh. [clears throat]
I see.
Can I please
Please give me your number.
I don't always want
to sneak up behind you
giving you the fright of your life.
- Sure.
- [Siya] Oh.
- Here.
- [Ntsiki] Thank you.
- We've got to go.
- [Ntsiki] Okay.
We have to evict these people at Ilanga.
Threaten the tree.
We do that and then,
The Brave Ones will be awakened.
And we'll have to do it tomorrow.
You know it's Sunday tomorrow.
Don't your investors want you to hurry up?
But you know that's madness.
So this casino thing
Who is it for, Luthando?
If our son is condemned
to death, then where's your forever?
- Hey Oh, babe. [scoffs]
- [Ntsiki] Hi, how are you?
No, babe, don't worry.
This isn't what it looks like, okay?
Save it.
- Babe, look
- Don't touch me!
[scoffs] How could I be so stupid?
- [sad music playing]
- [Ntsiki scoffs]
[pensive music playing]
What's going on?
We want you
to start up again with the evictions.
You know, things aren't
really going the way we had hoped.
People are furious out here.
Are we not paying you enough?
Remember, elections are coming up, soon.
- I have to be very careful.
- [Ayanda laughs]
You really do have to be very careful.
Or you want
people around here to find out that
you are in the pockets of the developers?
What exactly do you want?
What do you want?
I want you to resume the evictions!
- On a Sunday?
- Yes, on a Sunday.
Well, what about the agitators?
- They will hold it against me.
- Deal with them!
[Ayanda scoffs]
Mr. Mbatha,
does he know about this? Hm?
Don't insult me, Nkomo.
Don't insult me!
Do you hear me?
Now get the hell out of my car.
[tense music playing]
[car door slams shut]
Aha, Sister.
Goodness.
- [Ntsiki sighs] Yeah.
- Come on. And then, why?
[voice breaking]
Relationships are hard, Sis.
- Oh baby, I'm sorry.
- [Ntsiki sniffling]
[Funeka] Mm-mm!
No crying. Hey, mm-mm.
You are gonna put your chin up.
No crying. Yes?
Let's go inside.

[Mrs. Gasa] Did you steal, Ntsiki?
Huh? Did you steal?
[hesitates] It was a mistake, Ma.
[Funeka] Ntsiki.
I'll take it back. I promise, Ma.

This is not about some stupid boy, Ntsiki.
- Why are you and mom always on my case?
- [yells] Hey!
We almost died
because of that bracelet of yours.
I said I'll return it.
What's your problem?
Yo,
Ntsiki,
look at this from mom's perspective. Okay?
You promised
that you would leave that life behind.
[crying] I did. I really did.
It's just that
I put all my trust in someone
who didn't care about me one bit.
He said he was going
to show me the world, Sis.
I know I messed up.
I know. [sniffling]
- Okay.
- Yes, I know, Sis.
Okay.
- I know. [crying]
- Okay. Okay, baby girl.
- Listen, we'll return the bracelet, right?
- [Ntsiki sniffling]
And find a way
to fix things between you and mom,
and dad, okay?
I promise you.
[Funeka voice breaking]
I promise I'll do that.
- I am so sorry, Sis.
- Okay.
- [Ntsiki sobbing]
- Okay.

Grab him!

Come.

[Ndyebo] The regeneration
of the leader of the Wise Ones
had to be done
by cutting the roots of the tree.
And using them
to create those who will protect the tree.
Thus The Brave Ones were created.

stop messing with me!
Funeka, wake up!
Funeka!
