Siri - First Season

‪What are you doing outside in the cold?

‪Take the kid and go inside.

‪I see that the government ‪has still not made up

‪its mind about the usage of machines.

‪Let me tell you, those machines

‪and your decisions,

‪will adversely affect the workers.

‪What I care about, ‪is the profitability of this farm.

‪Without profit, we will all perish.

‪Huh? So,

‪you are determined to embrace these ‪machines, even if it costs us the workers?

‪-Come on, I did not say that. ‪-You

‪Hey, come on.

‪Why?

‪He was one of our workers.

‪Not to forget that he has a family.

‪This is something that everybody knew.

‪I'm not spreading rumors.

‪Everybody knew it.

‪-Hello. ‪-I'm good, how are you?

‪-How are you? ‪-I'm fine.

‪Don't you trust me?

‪-What about? ‪-Okay.

‪Okay, Musembi, but

‪do you have any evidence?

‪This is just hearsay.

‪Or are you a doctor nowadays?

‪Doctor Musembi.

‪Let me ask you, Doctor Musembi,

‪where is your white coat ‪and your fancy car,

‪that you are able to tell us ‪the cause of Suleiman's death?

‪I am not spreading rumors.

‪Good morning, gentlemen.

‪Good morning, sir.

‪Mr. Bakari is here.

‪Let's hear the truth from him.

‪He's the only one who speaks with wisdom.

‪Let me get closer and say hi.

‪Hello, sir. Tell us the secret.

‪Don't come any closer.

‪You're a funny guy though.

‪If you had the knowledge I have,

‪you wouldn't be laughing.

‪We are not laughing at you.

‪We're remembering our friend Suleiman.

‪This Suleiman you're talking about,

‪If he came back from the dead today,

‪and written on his face is

‪everything about you,

‪how will you feel about that?

‪Suleiman was my friend long ago.

‪Why are you reminding me that?

‪Goodbye.

‪So, Bakari has the list?

‪What list? What are you talking about?

‪They say that Suleiman ‪left a list of names

‪of people who will soon ‪be following him to his grave .

‪And you're foolish enough ‪to believe Bakari?

‪-Hey, hey, hey. ‪-Nobody knows about Bakari.

‪I am tired when I think ‪of the hours I put into Mr. Majani's farm,

‪and then I get treated like a kid

‪summoning me every now and then.

‪I can't put up with this anymore.

‪Let me ask you something, babe, ‪since when did the farm manager

‪become responsible for the ‪lives and deaths of people?

‪Mr. Majani is angry with you ‪because Mr. Suleiman is dead?

‪I don't get it.

‪Neither do I.

‪Neither does he.

‪Let me tell you,

‪I know everything that happens ‪on every corner of Mr. Majani's farm.

‪Mr. Majani doesn't.

‪As long as there's money being made.

‪It is his farm.

‪He doesn't care.

‪If this continues happening, I will resign

‪-and look for another job elsewhere. ‪-Hey.

‪I'm smart and knowledgeable but I'm used.

‪Not when we have ‪a baby on the way and bills to pay.

‪Don't piss off Mr. Majani.

‪-But you know... ‪-No.

‪That is done, let it slide.

‪I went to the clinic ‪yesterday and everything is okay.

‪Dr. Alai said he would like you ‪to come with me on my next visit

‪and get to know our HIV status,

‪so that we can get ready for the baby.

‪That's okay.

‪Should I book the appointment?

‪Sure, go ahead.

‪I need to go because ‪I can't keep the old man waiting.

‪I'll try.

‪Is everything okay?

‪Everything went well.

‪Both the mother and the baby are okay.

‪She gave birth to a baby boy.

‪Who was welcomed ‪to the world by my beautiful wife.

‪This is a joyous day.

‪Why aren't you happy, my love?

‪Why?

‪Why what?

‪Why am I always the midwife ‪and not the one giving birth?

‪Bringing happiness ‪to the lives of other women.

‪Look at us. Without joy, without a kid.

‪My love, I know it's difficult,

‪but not to worry.

‪Everything will be okay.

‪I long for the cries of my own baby,

‪hold them, feed them,

‪fill my life with joy.

‪And you will, my love.

‪You will have a child,

‪whom you will hold,

‪breastfeed...

‪everything will be okay.

‪I promise,

‪God has not forsaken us, ‪everything will be okay

‪and then, we'll be happy.

‪Come on my love, give me a smile.

‪Make my day with your smile, my love.

‪Okay, it's time for you to go to work.

‪Without getting a smile?

‪-Come on, get ready. ‪-It's a joyous day.

‪Okay.

‪My love.

‪Mum, I've not had enough.

‪I used all the maize flour this morning.

‪What is left is ‪not enough to make porridge.

‪Well, it will have to do for now.

‪Let the babies have my share.

‪But they will still be hungry,

‪and you'll go to work without eating?

‪Don't worry, ‪the children are our priority.

‪I will buy food ‪with what I will earn today.

‪Pass me the hoe.

‪Have faith.

‪God will provide.

‪Jehovah Ebenezer will provide.

‪Thank you.

‪Hey, I know you're working hard

‪but the kids need school fees,

‪they need school uniforms ‪and we need to pay our debt

‪which we owe Esther.

‪I understand, my love.

‪I know life is hard here in the village,

‪but you

‪don't know how hard life is in Nairobi.

‪Everybody expects a handout,

‪yet there's no employment, no money.

‪But don't worry, my love.

‪It's almost Christmas.

‪How long is it before it's Christmas?

‪Nine months?

‪Are you not happy to see me? Huh?

‪Or is that the least of your worries?

‪I'm very happy to have you here.

‪You got your present last night, ‪didn't you?

‪-Yes. ‪-How was it?

‪I really enjoyed it.

‪But the kids still need school fees.

‪-Come on. ‪-They also need shoes.

‪Okay, I promise you that once I get cash,

‪I'll bring it. Be assured that I will.

‪Just take a look.

‪Just look at the dilapidated ‪state that our house is in,

‪the cold seeps in.

‪That's why anytime we go to sleep,

‪we hug each other, keep each other warm,

‪especially now when it's cold.

‪Isn't that it?

‪Listen Jack,

‪many people are talking ‪about your friend Suleiman.

‪But Suleiman passed away?

‪Yes and he left behind a list.

‪List? What kind of list? There's no list.

‪Those are rumors being peddled by people.

‪Maybe, but I heard ‪he had a family in Mombasa,

‪but he's never visited them even once.

‪Listen, I am not Suleiman.

‪I am present ‪and there is no list, do you hear me?

‪I'll send you the cash, is that okay?

‪-Okay. ‪-Okay.

‪I'm running out of time. See me off.

‪Let me carry these.

‪-Take. ‪-Thank you.

‪Tabu...

‪isn't this the file ‪I told you to take to Mr. Majani?

‪Why is it still here?
