(Aquí el comentario en inglés de la película)
You know, alter last year´s corporate,
My wife vas always encouraging me.
You know, she said: you did fine,
You did fine in the corporate.
I was a bit nervous. This
Little guy… hello. Sorry.
That´s nice, eh? Nice background
With the people there…
We are here at the… must I look..?
- Just look straight at the lens.
We are here at the… MNU head office,
Department of Alien Afairs.
My name is Wikus Van De Merwe
And venid me you can see
The Alien Affairs´ workers.
And what we do here at this department is…
We try to engañe with the Prawn
On behalf of MNU and
On behalf of humnans.
To everyone`s surprise, the
Ship didn´t come to a stop
Over Manhattan or Washington or Chicago,
But instead it costed to a halt
Directly over the city of Johannesburg.
The Doors didn´t open for 3 months. It
Just hovered there. Nobody cold get in.
And they eventually decided,
Alter much deliberation,
That the best thing to do soul
Be to physically cuy their way in.
We were on the verge of fist contact.
The whole Word was watching.
Expecting, I don`t know…
Music from heaven and
Bright shining ligsts.
Oh my God!
The creatures were
extremely malnourished,
they were very unhelthy
they seemed to be aimless.
There was a loto f International
Pressure on us at the time
The entire World was
Looping at Johannesburg.
So we had to do the right thing.
The government then esbablished
An aid Group that started to
Ferry the aliens to a temporary
Camp set up just Veneta the ship.
We didn´t have a plan.
There was a million of them.
So, what was a temporary
Holding zone soon became fenced,
Became militarizad. And befote
We knew it, it was a slum.
But the truth is, nobody
Really knew what this place was.
There´s a loto f secrets in District 9.
- DISTRICT 9 –
At first, a lot of
Attention was given to…
Living the aliens a proper
Status and protection.
They´re spending so much
Money to keep them here.
When they Could be spending
It on other things, but…
…at least they`re Keeling
Them separate from us.
I want to be realística with everyone
The aliens will not be able to go home.
The aliens are here tos tay
There were literally
Thousands of dirrerente theories
As to why the ship seemed inoperable,
And what was speculated was that
The command module had detached
Itself from the main ship,
And then somehow
Mysteriosly became lost.
Did it fall by itself or was
It programmed? I don´t know.
Examination of the old video footage
Shows very clearly that a
piece falls from the ship.
We look for it. We look everyvhere.
This piece that´s falling
Caused us Bloody problems.
More energy weapon caches found.
The Special task force
Conducted raids in District 9.
Where there`s a weapon, there`s
Crime. Tensions rose, and rose.
People became more and more fed up,
And eventually the riontig started.
Residents in Tembisa rioted
For the tirad consecutive night (04:30 play)
In an attempt to remove all
The aliens from their township.
I think they must fix
That ship and they most go.
It`s a virus
A virus a selctive virus
Realease it near the aliens.
They must just go. I
Don`t know where, just go.
If they was from another
Country we might undesrtand.
But they are noy even from this planet.
The foverment have
Enforced a Nationwide curfew.
The aliens, prawns,
They take my wife away.
The derogatory term Prawn is used for
The alien, and obviously it implies
Something that is a botton feeder,
That scavenges the leftovers. (05:06 play)
Something that is a botton feeder,
That scavenges the leftovers.
I mean, you can`t say
They don`t look like that.
That`s what they look like,
Right? They look like prawns.
The aliens made off with an undisclosed
Amount of cash. One bystander was hurt.
What for an alien might be
Seen as something recreacional,
Setting FIRE to a
Truck, derailing a train,
Is for us obviously an
Extremely destructive act.
They can take the sneakers
You are wearing off you. (05:30 play)
They take whatever you have on
You. Your cell phone or anything.
Alter that they kill you.
And now, alter 20 years, public
Pressure had torced the govenment
To shift the aliens out of Johannesburg.
They had had enough and they
Wanted District 9 to be moved,
And more intensively
Policed and controlled.
So, to enforce this mass Edition,
The government rurned tu MNU
Welcome all and thank you for coming. (05:57 play)
Please listen very
Closely to this briefing.
Today we sart a very complex
And delicate operation.
This is the largest operation
That MNU has ever undertaken,
And we belive thay it is going
To be undertaken successfully.
It is to move 1.8 million prawns
From their present home in District
9 to a safer and better location
200 kilometers outsider
Of Johannesburg City.
We built nice new facility
Where the prawn can go,
He can be comforrtable
He can stay there…
The people of Johannesburg and
Of South Africa are going to live (06:33 play)
Happily and safetly, knowing
That that prawn is very far away.
UIO protocol dictates
That we give the aliens
24 hours Natick of our right to evict.
Today, you serve these notices
Getting the aliens to sign I-27 form.
The legality that MNU is using to
Evict the aliens is simply a whitewash.
I´m going to appoint a field
Officer to take direct command.
Wikus Van De Merwe. (07:04 play)
Everybody always said that
Wikus was not a very smart boy,
But he was a wonderful son,
Tay was my Wijus, just…
Feels like life on the big
Stage. Thank you Piet… Mr Smith. (07:17 play)
I had to put aside the fact that
My daughter was married to Wikus.
That didn´t affect my
Decision to promote him.
It´s almost as big as my Redding
Day. You know… not as big.
Wikus was always making me things.
He said that way they
Just mean so much more.
He left this paper-mache
Bowl on the sofa one day
And i didn´t see it and i sat
Down, and I… kinda squiashed it.
They took all his staff away
For the investigation, and…
I made them bring it all back.
Hey, congratulatons,
Man! –Thanks, man.
Okay, you´re gonna g oto P7.
-Wikus! – How is it going, man? (07:56 play)
Here´s the shake. P9 for you. – Thanks.
I´m not saying what he
Dis was right, but…
He took the choices
That were give to him.
This is Trent. Fundiswa. = Hi
Fundiswz is the guy trat 8:11 play
I´ve selected to replace me.
If he can make it
Today, eh? –I`ll make it.
I just want everyone
Watching this right now
To learn from what has
Happened. –You would think…
Things like this would happen
To somebody else, not to me.
How es ti going, man? Long time,
Mate. Have you got may staff??
Hey, boss! –How is it
Going? –I´m all right, boss.
Good, good, this is Fundiswa.
He is training with us today.
I think I was disgusted
With the way he worked.
There was always just a hint
Of something not quite kosher
Whit mr Van De Merwe.
-Nobody say it coming at all. (08:43 play)
None of us had any idea
Of what he was doing.
I think it is a great
Thing to see that…
It`s not the military
Guys in charge this time.
Not tos ay that Koobus and
His cowboys are not wanted.
You guys are always wanted.
You see now, these are the cowboys.
They shoot first, and then
They answer the quiestions.
Sorry, is this above the
Allocated amount of ammnunition?
Because I see your
Pouches art full but… (09:08 play)
I think maybe you should
Speak to the colonel.
F.A.G. over here says that
We got too much ammunition.
No, all I`m saying,
Koobus, is that, you know…
You should find ways of making
You guys more efficient…
Listen to me, you fuck!
Get him outta my face.
There are rules, we`re all
Living by rules in this World.
Well, i don´t thik he can
Be forgiven for what he did,
Cause it`s lice a betrayal.
-I´ve gotta get going, Les.
I think we´re gonna have to cut this
Interview, cause we´re gonna go…
12 KILOMETERS FROM DISTRICT 9 (09:54 play)
Take your magazines,
People. Come on, lets go.
The Prawn doesn´t really understand
The concepto r ownership of property.
So, we have to come there and
Say: listen, this is our land.
Please, will you go?
It´s difficult to put
The vest on by yourself.
Thomas, can you help
Me? –All right, boss.
They told me I was gonna get
The vest insdid the Casper.
Thomas, just look on the
Side if there´s a vest there?
I´m just concernid about my family.
-Don´t worry about the vest, it´ll be fine.
Rights groups have demanded
That mercenaries should comply
With all UYO refulations in District 9
We´re coming to you from
The Entrance of District 9
United sets out to relocate
Approximately 1.8 million alien
Residents from their homes.
Human Rights groups are
Keeling a watchful eye,
As many suspect abuses might occur.
We´re seeing heavily armed
Private securty forces (11:41 play)
Being deployed into District 9.
Backed up by significant air support.
We´ll go shack to shack and
Get them to sign the form
First one EX 247.
We´re seeing the convoy stop.
The opertation is about to begin.
Just stay focused.
Are you Reddy,
Tomas? – Yeah. –Okay.
Is that a signal? Okay, fellows.
You stay behin us. Good luch, boy.
Stay low! Where is he going? What is it?
It´s clear that security es very high.
This is Orly the beginning
Of a totyal clamp down
This es MNU agents. Open
The door please! –Open up! (12:25play)
Hello! Hello, hello…
This is Wijus Van De Merwe from MNU
We are here to serve
You an eviction notice.
You just put your
Scrawl there. – Fuck off!
All right! Thomas, hold it!
We´re got his scrawl there.
Because as he hit it,
I counts as a scrawl.
First tme we come in, there
Will always be a little bit
Of tension happening
Between us and them
Hey, you can´t eat that, man!
The prawn likes toe at the rubber.
To him it´s like a marshmallow.
No, no! Guard! Don´t
Confront him like that!
Did you see that? Right
In the roost. Stay calm!
This is gonna be a problema cause
Now all prawns are coming out,
They wanna see what´s
Going on. Stop it! Stop it!
Bring my kit. See
Everybody is gathering now.
Don´t shoot or you´re gonna
Turn i tinto a warzone!
What is that? Is that a
Tear gas? –No, it´s cat food.
It is cat food. I just distract them.
One of them attacked the
Prawn and he´s lost his arm.
No it´s not my house. I don´t live here.
Well, that´s a pity
Because, you know, this…
This is a nice cat food, you know.
But of course, it´s not your house. (13:46 play)
So, we´ll just have to go and give it
To someone else. Yes! It´s muy house!
We need you to sign here.
Now you can take that…
All right. Stop it!
The creaturas became incredibly
Obsessed with cat food.
Something about it, like catnip
For cats. Orly a loy mor intense.
District Nº. 9, Zone 4:
Exempt Building Block 1018
Hello? MNU. We are here
To serve eviction notices.
What is eviction?
What we have stranded
On Earth in this colony,
Is basically the worders that are
Unable to think for themselves.
They will take commands,
They have no initiative.
They´ve lost all the apt of Leadership (14:28 play)
Through whatever cause.
We presume illness.
I´m holding steady over
Nigerian compoun area.
Where there´s a slum, there´s crime.
And District 9 was no exception.
The nigerians had various scams going.
One of them was the cat foof scam.
Where they solf cat food to the
Aliens for exorbitant prices.
You put the money here first. You
Don´t get anything until you pay.
What are you doing here?
I´ll chop your balls off.
Not to mention
Interspecies prostitution,
And they also dealt in alien weaponry.
You have a car hijacking,
There´s a chop shop there,
You can see that, that´s
Somebody´s car in there.
The nigerians in District 9 are
Headed by a man called Obesandjo.
He´s a very powerful inderground
Figure in Johannesburg.
You don´t want to play with these boys.
They will cut you into pieces.
That´s the boss there. OK, no problem.
Don´t look at him! This
Is gonna cause problems.
All right, next. 766, all right (15:45 play)
MNU agents. Open the door please!
Whoa! Jesus! What is it?
Check the other side!
Control, this is Wikus Van De Merwe.
I need a population control team
At JV 766 immediately, please.
Check the other side, Thomas!
There is 40 to 50 eggs en here.
Is this normal? –This
Is an amazing find.
I can just show you a
Little bit how it works.
Basically, a cow is hung from
The ceilling, you can see here.
Very little of it left, of
Course, because all these pipes
Supply the nutrition to
The little prawn eggs.
You can do one, I can show
You, want to see? -No, I´m fine.
There we go. Okay, no
More nutrition to the guy.
Then finally we take air back.
The little guy is gone to
A nice little sleep now.
You pop him out, there
We go, Pop him out here.
You can take that. You wanna keep it
As a souvenir of your first abortion.
You can feel like you did one
Of these here. –Thanks, boss.
Okay, here is comes,
Guys. This is the snake.
If we were going to abort
Each egg one at the time,
It´d take a very long time.
So, this makes a lot of sense.
You hear that? That´s a popping
Sound that you´re hearing.
It´s almost like a popcorn.
What the egg does, it pops up.
The little guy, what´s
Left of him, pops out there.
So that,s the sound that
You´re hearing with the popping.
You don´t need that, man.
Only sissies wear that.
Been drinking a little bit here, eh?
What are you doing with this
Television set, sir? What´s this?
Hey, smile for the cameras, here. (17:24 play)
That´s a first day
Find. –That´s a big find.
You see this? Trent, look at this!
There´s weapons all over here.
CK 5, 7572...
Some of the guns are small
But if it shoot you, it make a big mess.
MNU is trying to move the
Aliens for humanitarian reasons.
But the real focus, just as it has been
Right from the beginnign, is weapons.
MNU is the second largest
Weapons manufacturer in the world.
We assumed that wd´d be able
To pick up the alien laser gun
And just be able to shoot,
But it didn´t work like that.
Because, as we discovered,
Their technology is actually
Engineered in a biological manner to
Interact exclusively with their DNA.
It just doesn´t work with humans.
And it´s as simple as that.
This is basically a guy,
And there´s 3 humans here. (18:16 play)
Basically trying to
Make a warning, you know.
He´s saying “I kill 3
Humans, watch out for me”
Hey, don´t urinate on your own
Boody... get back, get back.
This is Wikus, requesting
First battalion escort, please.
You want to talk to them
Or you want to talk to me?
No, not them!
Okay, guys, thanks very much.
Yeah I Know, he had a spade.
Look-I find some!
I tell you before. This is
Human technology, it is useless.
Only our technology contains the fluid.
This is not our
Technology? – No, it´s junk.
Keep looking.
I find something.
Yes. This is what we need.
Good, little one.
Get down!
Careful... wait...
...there.
Why must it take so long?
Because it is very difficult...
...so much can go wrong.
Twenty years of work.
Our plan is ready now?
-Quiet... listen...
... they are coming. (20:22 play)
You must hide this
They must not find it.
Answer the door and be polite.
No! You take it.
You see, this is the problem.
This is the gang sign.
You see this? So again,
Look like we have
More and more gang members.
Fundiswa, you just stay
Back. You stay behind Thomas.
This place is swarming with
MNU. I will be searched.
I must get back to my son.
Don´t make them angry –be polite!
MNU agents, open the door please.
Hello? We would like you
To... –Nobody is here.
Okay, that´s unexcetable.
That is totally unexceptable!
Get out! Get out! You stupid prawn!
- Get outside!
- C´mon! Move! Move! (21:14)
On your Knees! –I´m gonna have a look.
Just stay there! Right there!
Sir, we have to serve
You an eviction notice.
Do you undertand it? –No
This is a classic kind of
Gangsta shack, I can tell you.
We´re gonna find weapons here.
Watch your head, don´t hit the cows.
Just checking for
Panels. Ah, you hear that?
Yeah, it´s hollow there.
See? Look at that!
I have´t see this type of
Setup. It´s almost like a...
Chemistry type of a set.
It´s gotta be something.
I don´t know, this has got
The markings there of...
... so it is definitley alien.
But it´s a weapon.
But I don´t trust it.
Are you all right?
Wikus, are you all right? (22:26 play)
Switch it off, please. Just turn it off.
Are you gonna cut that part
Out, Trent, where it sprays me?
-Yeah, don´t worry.
-You cut that.
We just found a dangerous object here.
It has a fuel in and i suspect it
Might leak onto people or cause damage.
So we just check that in and we
Take taht down nicely to the lab.
It´s not a weapon but it´s dangerous.
He´s got weapons somewhere here,
My sense is telling me that.
Lets check the other side
Here. Thomas! –Yes sir?
Tomas, keep the gun on
Him. –Ok, I got it sir!
Keep the gun on him,
Thomas, there´s weapons here!
Oh, this is Christmas! This
Is Christmas, my friends.
This is the biggest
Find that I´ve ever seen.
Control, come in. Wikus Van De Merwe,
Requesting First Reaction Battalion. (23:17 play)
Call first Battalion.
Stand by, guys!
This gun I´ve never
Seen. Have you seen this?
This is amazing! Look at
This gun. What gun is this?
This is absolutely amazing!
-what are you doing?
-I wanna show this to Thomas.
But i thought you said
You can´t handle it.
No, I am not handling it,
I´m just gonna show it.
I´m not gonna use it, man. It
Doesn´t even work with humans.
Thomas, look at this gun!
That´s not mine.
-You´re a dealer, eh? –No
You hear this, sir? You
See what´s happening?
First Battalion, my friend.
You know what that means?
That means that your days of
Flauntin the law are over.
Have a look, you see that? What´s that?
That´s a firing team.
Come here! (24:32 play)
Wikus! Are you all right?
Where do you think you´re going, eh?
You don´t run away from
The chooper. –No, no...
Where do you thik you´re
Going? You wanna piss me off?
Koobus to base, come in!
I´ve got two people down.
MNU guard, MNU agent.
It´s the Foxtrot
Yankee 5-3-0... copy?
And we need a Med Evac ASAP.
No, that´s fine, Koobus,
I don´t need a Med Evac.
Wikus, you burned your
Arm, you need to...
I´ll just treat it here, Koobus.
Sir, I really thin you must go to
A doctor, a hospital or something.
-NO, no.
-You should just get it checked out.
I´ll just have it treated
By the medics. Help me up.
Did you see how fast
That prawn was. Trent?
-Yeha, he was fast.
-He was fast, I promise you.
Look, I fis it. I make it work.
I told you not to touch that.
What is wrong?
Nothing, go-outside.
And watch for humans.
Where is your friend?
He´s gone.
Are you okay? –Yeah,
I´m just a bit hot. (26:07 play)
Are you guys hot? Are
You hot, Trent? –No
Yeah, if you cant stand the
Heat get out of the kitchen.
Now you see. There´s kids eveywhere.
This is what i mean. That´s
Why we get rid of them.
-The little ones.
-Yeah, that´s why we abort.
Lets just shoot the little bastard.
-No, no, don´t shoot it now.
MNU agents! Come out!

And always remember that a
Smile is cheaper than a bullet.
Are you feeling better?
-What? –How are you feeelign?
I´m fine, I´m alright. I´m
Just a little bit dizzy.
Can you just pull up there on the side?
I just want to get
Something to eat here.

After your whole puking episode?
I feel a lot better... I think I
Just needed the fillings, you know.
Boss! Boss!
There´s blck stuff
Coming out of your nose.
MNU Head Office
Silver cylinder.
It´s a silver cylinder. I can´t find it. (31:00 play)
We must find it. It contains the fluid.
Should be. Of course.
It´s not here.
It has to be. Keep looking.
We trade for ten thousand cans.
Certain factions of nigerian gangs
Want to try and extract
Weaponry from District 9.
And have been trying
To for many many years.
Give them one hundred cans
-Hundred. –One hundred!
Yes, yes, but vw take them all now.
Alright, boys! Get them the catfood
-Hurry up.
And they amassed
Thousands of these weapons.
Without the ability to use them..
Fuck off! Hey friend
Not you. You stay here.
-What do you want from me?
- I just want to talk.
-what do you want from me?
-I just want to talk.
Talk about what?
Stupid prawn. They´ll believe anything.
Muti is a South African word.
Today it´s synonymous with
Witchdoctory and magic.
You cut it here. This is their heart.
Cures higy blood when you boil it,
Cures sugar, diabetes, all diseases.
The nigerians were
Consuming alien body parts.
They believed that doing so,
They were ingesting their power
To use alien weaponry.
You must eat them.
And their power will live in you.
Just give me a fucking chance
To go in front of you, man!

TCG 00:17:41:22
We decided not to use the anesthetic,
The reason being we can´t know
How the subject will react.
Doctor Ferster! –Yes? –I
Think you shoul see this.
I found it in his jacket.
You thik this is alien?
Stop, it´s freezing! Fuck!
16 HOURS AFTER EXPOSURE.
WHERE IS this?
What?
What are they doing to these prawns?
Pain threshold, test one, DBX 7.
That´s a strong pain reaction
That means the nerves have fused.
I mena, it´s almost
Completely integrated.
Okay, do it.
B5. testing AMR-B5
Clear the range. Now, quickly!
Swing it around.
What are you doing?
-The door is locked.
Can you grip that? –What is this?
Put it though.
-Why are you doing this?
-standby for fire. Standby.
-You want me to shoot that?
Stand back.. and fire!
That´s good!
It worked!
All right, thanks very much.
Do you know where my wife is?
Do you know if my wife
Knows where i am. Sir?
Pull! Pull!
No sir, I will not pull.

Your wife? Fuck your wife!
Pull! –I will not pull.

Everybody standing by.
Ready to go? Three, two, one, go!
Amazing!
All right! Thi,k that´s all we need. (40:11 play)
Gentlemen, we are running out of time.
This is the key stage
In the metamorphosis.
His DNA is in perfect balance
Between alien and human.
And a problem is, as
The infection spreads,
The transition becomes
Permanent and less active
He´s going to turn into
One of them.A prawn!
What happens to him isn´t important.
What´s important is that we harvest
From him what we can right now.
This body representes
Hudreds of millions.
Maybe billions of dollars
Worth of biotechnology.
There are people out there,
Governments, Corporations,
Who´d kill for this chance.
Will he survive the
Prodedure? –No, of course not.
We need everything
Tissue, bone marrow, blood.
The procedure is gonna basically
Strip him down to nothing. –Please...
What about next of kin?
Please help me. Don´t let them do it.
I´ll handle that.
Okay, I say let´go. –Good, thank you.
I don´t understand.
None of this makes any sense.
He just hurt arm, dad.
The doctors are trying,sweetheart.
Doing their best to save him.
We´re starting to harvest
Material from the specimen.
We´ll start with the soft tissue
First. Cut through the chest cavern.
We need to get the heart
Out as quickly as possible.
Once is set the
Sinousity, it just spread.
You know Wijus. He
Never was very strong.
I´ll go througy the chest,
Go straight into the heart.
Be quiet, please. –Fuck you!
Can I see him?
Not a good idea.
Fock off! Fuck you!
Fuck you!
Drop the knife!
Move or i´ll fuckin´cut his throat!
Okay. All right!
I´ll fuckin´kill him!
You need to let go fo him now.
It´s okay, Tania.
Everytihing will be okay.

Business artifact on Earth.
He was the only human who had ever..
Successfully been combined with
Alien genetics and remained alive.
But his real value was that he
Could operate alien weaponry.

Ended up hiding in the one place
He knew no one would
Ever como looking for him.

Guys at the lab took it.
It will be at the MNU. MNU has it.
What is this?
You ruined eveything.

Is that your shack?
This whole thing is under your shack?
For 20 years you´ve.. had
This fokking´ thin in here?
Jesus, this is very illegal.
I mean, this is a find, you know.
I wish they catch you wiht this.
Fuel goes in here.
That´s enough! Quiet!
Then we fly away.
I said quiet! We cannot trust him.
What is he saying about the fuel?
Are you trying to start this thing?
Are you little fuckers trying
To start this and get away?
Never mind.
Yeah, you sneaky fokkin´prawns.
Too bad. I could´ve fixed you.
What? What did you
Say... about the fixing?
What do yo mean you could fix me?
Forget it. It doesn´t
Matter, it´s too late.
No, listen! Listen. Are
You saying that you can...
Turn this prawn hand into a human hand?
You can make me human again?
We have medical machines on the mothership that can fis you. Yes.
We can use this ship to fly up there.
That´s fantastic! You
Guy are brilliat!
I always thought that prawns
Were intelligent. Let´s do it.
I don´t have fluid.
I could fix you and i could fly
Away. But i don´t have fluid.
Right, okay.
All right, i tell you
What. Why do´nt we...
Go risk it some more?
Let´s go collect some up
It took twenty years
To collect that amount.
Fuck, man! Fuck!
Fuck! The only one that exists
Is the one i confiscated?
Yes
It´s four stories underground.
Why does he keep looking at
Me like that? –he likes you.
We are the same.
We´re not the same. We´re
Not the fokkin´same-
There is a way out of this
We ger the fluid back from MNU.
Yeah, and what then?
Then we both die, eh?
Both of us dead. That´s
A suidide mission, man.

With that sort of nonsense?
The transformation is accelerating...
You don´t have much time.

A concentration camp.

Fluid, what happens then?
We go up to the mothership.
And you can start that thing? –Yes.
Okay, so just to be clear:

The people everywhere
Across Johannesburg
Are flooding the streets and
Pouring out their offices
And all eyes ate ponited un towards
The sky on this momentous day.
It´s the fist time, ladies and
Gentlemen in over two decades.
That the mothership has
Shown any sing of movement,
And people are tremendously excited.
The city had come to
An absolute standstill.
Everybody wants to know
What´s going to happen next.
There´s no way of knowing whether or
Not Cristopher Johnson will return.
We don´t know if he was simply escaping,
Whether he will effect a rescue plan..
...and, as the so
Called free press says,
Whether or not he will come
Back and declare a war on us.
This is the last known
Footage of Wikus Van De Merwe.
And we can only speculate as
To what has happened to him.
The more zany conspiracy
Theories state that
He´s been captures by MNU
Or by another government.
Or by perhaps some
Shady governmente agency
And he´s actually
Being held in captivity.
If we knew where he was,
We would try and help him,
And that is the most difficult
Part, not knowing where he is.
Wikus, sadly, is gone but
I´m the one who stays behind
With all the questions.
I can´t give the answers.
He died in my mind a long
Time ago. And that´s that.
Wikus Van Der MERWe is a name
That will become very widely known.
Because of this pivotal role that
He played in this whole event.
He was an honest man, and he didn´t
Deserve any of what happened to him.
I mean, I know. I looked into a
Computer system and I found stuff.
I mean, the whole data
Was there, you know?
They didn´t even do a
Good job of hiding it.
Fundiswa Mhlanga is currently awaiting trial for
Esposing MNU´s illegal genetic researsh programme.
District 9 was demolished after the alien
Resettlement operation was completed.
