NARRATOR: Thata
led the pride away
from danger,

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,640
but into an
unfamiliar land.

[music]

4
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,720
She'’s fast discovering
being a leader

5
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,480
is even harder than
she expected.

[fast music]

9
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,320
Hunting alone, she
doesn'’t stand a chance.

10
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,800
Thata may be the
new leader.

11
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,120
But not everyone is
willing to be led.

12
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,280
The young, hungry cubs
are devoted to her.

13
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,640
The unruly male
teenagers are
devoted to no one.

14
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:44,120
As the land dries out,
the boys should help
Thata hunt.

15
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,800
Instead, they pick fights
with their enemies.

[fast music]

17
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,960
The teenagers think
they know it all.

[fast music]

19
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,880
Yet they still have
so much to learn.

00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,680
[roars]

22
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,040
Thata is fed up with
their childish games.

23
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,000
She knows the dry season
will tighten its grip

24
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,600
and then what?

25
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,680
Find food, or her
cubs will starve.

26
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:05,760
The land withers,

27
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,600
forcing prey to scatter
in search of water.

28
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,400
But Motshidi is in luck.

29
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,160
A large impala, her
latest kill.

30
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,920
She now revels in the
respect of the forest.

32
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,080
But the dry season
brings hard times.

[music]

34
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,200
And attention from less
successful hunters:

35
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,360
another young leopard lured
by the scent of blood.

36
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,000
Motshidi killed
for this,

37
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,600
[growls]

38
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,640
and she'’s not about
to share it.

41
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,000
A less than dignified
retreat.

42
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,360
Fortune favors the bold,

43
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:05,320
but Motshidi knows her
property will only be
safe up there.

44
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,840
Reality dawns.

45
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:23,960
She'’s caught more
than she can carry.

46
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:33,400
Her only option is to
leave it where it lies
and guard it from above.

47
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,440
Nothing complements a full
stomach quite like sleep.

00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,520
[hyenas sound]

00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,480
[dramatic music]

50
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,920
She wakes to a
walking nightmare.

51
00:06:34,840 --> 00:06:40,200
Motshidi now knows better
than to take on the thief

52
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,400
and risk being
shredded herself.

53
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,480
Next time, you must
do better, Motshidi.

54
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,720
Thata'’s world bakes.

55
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:25,240
The rains are late and
her cubs are hungry.

56
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,200
But the teenagers
refuse to help.

57
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,760
Lazy and self-absorbed.

58
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:02,640
Ignorant of what'’s coming,
they prefer play hunting

59
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,600
to real hunting,
and survival.

Thata knows the cubs
need to eat, and soon.

63
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,760
Then she hears it: the
sweet sound of success.

64
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,080
A kill, but not her own.

65
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,160
The dogs are faring
better than the lions.

66
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,440
But now is no time
for pride.

67
00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:38,840
It'’s hardly the spoils
of a glorious hunt,

68
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,360
but it should feed
her hungry cubs.

69
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,520
The teenagers bore in.

70
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,440
[growls]

71
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,800
Their gluttony leaves
no room for the hungry
little ones.

72
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,680
Thata'’s blood boils over.

73
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:29,480
Get back!

00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,880
[dramatic music]
[growling]

75
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,280
Thata shows the teenagers
a mother'’s fury.

76
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:07,440
And finally her
cubs get to eat,

77
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,280
but how long before the
teenagers rebel?

78
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:39,600
[melancholic music]

79
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:45,400
Motshidi lost her last
meal to a thief and now
hunger pains her.

80
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,760
There'’s still no
sign of rain.

81
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,800
Her usual prey is
nowhere to be seen,

82
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,360
leaving her little choice.

83
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,120
Baboons.

84
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,320
Be careful, Motshidi.

85
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,600
They were vicious enough
to kill your mother,

86
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,560
but small enough to
carry up a tree.

87
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,400
Her reputation as a
killer precedes her

88
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,840
and the baboons are
not taking chances.

[fast music]

90
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,480
Motshidi avoids her
mother'’s fate,

91
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,280
but her confidence has
taken another beating.

93
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,280
Perhaps if she
lowers her ambitions?

00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:46,040
Motshidi the impala
slayer, reduced to
hunting mere trifles.

The only thing she can
swallow here is her pride.

The elderly Mogolo longs
to hand over the reins,

99
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,960
but first her beloved
daughter Wame must prove
she'’s a worthy successor.

100
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,600
Trouble brews.

101
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:14,840
The dogs enjoy their
latest kill

102
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:20,680

Exploiting Mogolo'’s

106
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,880
She'’s losing hope.

107
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,840
When finally her
daughter takes control.

The young leader'’s reward?

00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,040
Pick of the spoils.

116
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,840
Mogolo is exhausted.

117
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:12,160
Now, more than ever,
she longs to retire,

118
00:17:14,360 --> 00:17:19,240
but not until Wame
passes her final test.

119
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,880
The hyena return
empty-handed.

120
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,440
But as long as the
drought lasts,

121
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,320
they will have plenty
of corpses to consume.

128
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,840
His mother supplies
all the milk he needs.

129

But something more
substantial arrives.

130
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,920
Fresh meat.

131
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:56,040
If Khutlo plays his
cards right, he could get
his first taste of flesh.

132
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:06,040
But even thieves have a
pecking order and Khutlo
is at the very bottom.

133
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,960
Careful, Khutlo.

134
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,520
A measly scrap of
skin and hair.

135
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,760
It'’s better than nothing,

136
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,560
and a taste of
what'’s to come

137
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,320
if the dry season
continues.

00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,280

Hungry Motshidi now has

This is your chance,
Motshidi.

Don'’t blow it.

If Motshidi'’s not careful,

00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,920
her reputation for success
could be her downfall.

Peace at last, but
for how long?

Eager to escape Thata'’s

strike out on their own.

00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,720
The hunters feign
indifference.

182
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,960
And fool no one.

183
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,600
The impulsive teens
must be careful.

184
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,960
Buffalo horns will
skewer a lion.

185
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,320
There'’s no accounting for
the arrogance of youth.

186
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,480
One of the teens
stands his ground.

187
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:12,720
[dramatic music]

188
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,600
Deadlock.

189
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,000
[dramatic music]

190
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,720
The hunters are now
the hunted.

191
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,960
The boys try to turn
it around.

192
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,600
It'’s too little, too late.

193
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:56,040
The boys are only a
danger to themselves.

194
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,480
Inexperience is
costing them dearly.

195
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:19,040
And confidence doesn'’t
fill an empty stomach.

196
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,480
Mogolo soldiers on,

197
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,280
leading the pack
as best she can.

198
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:02,680
Until it'’s time for
her daughter to face
the ultimate test:

199
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,440
a hunt.

200
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:14,120
With her mother'’s
approval, Wame is now
fully in charge.

201
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,480
There is no shortage
of targets.

202
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,240
But only a born leader
can deliver the goods.

203
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,080
[fast music]

204
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:52,120
[fast music]

205
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:21,920
Wame'’s first kill, and a
feast for the whole pack.

206
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,840
[music]

207
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,200
Including proud Mogolo.

208
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,240
[music]

209
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,680
Wame is ready to
succeed her mother.

210
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,000
And finally take up
the reins of power.

211
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,920
[music]

212
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,480
Tension runs high between
the runaway teens.

213
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,960
Hunting isn'’t as
easy as it looks.

214
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,280
[growling]

215
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,880
But not all food
needs hunting.

216
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,680
Scavengers.

217
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,920
Where there are
vultures, there is meat.

218
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,600
A buffalo carcass
left unattended.

219
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,640
[music]

220
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,440
A hungry teenager
takes what he can.

221
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,920
[music]

222
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,040
But something bigger
watches.

223
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,960
[growling]

224
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,760
A lucky escape.

225
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,320
He would have ripped
the teenager to shreds.

226
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:27,360
The boys finally realize
just how little they
actually know.

227
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,600
[music]

228
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,120
[music]

229
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,640
Wame basks in the glory of
her first victorious hunt.

230
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:15,640
Mogolo looks on, proud,
as her daughter attracts
one of the males

231
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,640
for the very first time.

232
00:34:25,720 --> 00:34:28,880
He can'’t resist the
perfume of power.

233
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,800
[music]

234
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,160
[growling]

235
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,120
And he'’s not the
only one.

236
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,800
The males battle--
in lust for Wame.

237
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,600
But there can
only be one alpha.

238
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,400
Courtship is short
and sweet.

239
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:34,560
And establishes Wame
as the leader, once
and for all.

240
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,280
With her life
partner beside her,

241
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,880
Wame begins the long
journey ahead

242
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,320
and for Mogolo, a
much needed rest.

243
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:37,360
High in the treetops,
out of sight...

244
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,600
Motshidi pinpoints
her next meal.

245
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,480
A young kudu.

246
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,920
It'’s the chance she'’s
been waiting for.

247
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,520
[music]

248
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,400
[music]

249
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,720
This time she knows
to stay hidden.

250
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,280
Until the very last second.

251
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,600
[dramatic music]

252
00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:44,760
[dramatic music]

253
00:37:56,760 --> 00:38:00,720
Motshidi is now
every inch a killer.

254
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,880
But killing, as she
knows, is only half
the battle.

255
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,000
Thieves close in.

256
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,920
[music]

257
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,840
Motshidi must do what she
has never managed before.

258
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,480
Treeing her kill.

259
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,960
[dramatic music]

260
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,240
Hurry, Motshidi!

261
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:07,040
[dramatic music]

262
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,000
The moment of truth.

263
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,560
Tree the kill, and
salvage your dignity.

264
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,800
[dramatic music]

265
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,800
No, don'’t rest.

266
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:54,160
After all her efforts,
Motshidi has at last
perfected her craft.

267
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,440
The forest is yours.

268
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:22,360
The return of the
prodigal sons,

269
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,960
hungry and humiliated.

270
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,120
Just as Thata expected.

271
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:51,520
She welcomes them
back, willing to
forgive and forget.

272
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:04,600
But the boys must
pull their weight

273
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,480
and work for the good
of the pride.

274
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:15,800
They must learn
precision hunting,

275
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,600
and she is
their teacher.

276
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,640
[music]

277
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:31,680
[music]

278
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,440
Thata holds her nerve.

279
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,960
A model of restraint.

280
00:41:54,880 --> 00:42:00,760
The warthogs are oblivious
and the teenagers gripped.

281
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,600
Watch and learn, boys.

282
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,000
[dramatic music]

283
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:16,640
[dramatic music]

284
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:31,240
[dramatic music]

285
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,280
A master class in execution.

286
00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:03,520
But someone wants more
than the lion'’s share.

287
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,640
[growling]

288
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,560
He wants it all.

289
00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:24,560
[dramatic music]

290
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:32,440
This meal is his,
and his alone.

291
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,680
[dramatic music]

292
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,240
[dramatic music]

293
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:51,240
The boys are back, and
they are no longer boys.

294
00:43:51,240 --> 00:43:53,560
[dramatic music]

295
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:02,200
Heavy is the head
that wears the crown.
