With 2.5 hours to go they enter the mass to reach their destination. 2 hours later they have only gone 2 miles and realise that by the time they reach the stadium the game will be over. They resign themselves that their journey was epic and although they didn’t get to he game they achieved something much more beneficial and important.

A Greyhound bus astops directly in front of the 4 and the door opens and standing in the doorway is Rachel. She is a guest of the ruling party and invites the 4 to join them in a suite at the game. We see them in the ANC Hospitality Suite with Nelson Mandela and Jacob Zuma. The kick-off whistle blows, the 4 see the game, and we zoom out to see Captain Budda with a big grin and fade to credits.
