You may never see me again,

but I must leave you one last task.

You must feel no guilt

in doing what you have to do.

The past must die

to truly serve the future.

You know!

Baby boy,

what will not happen?!

It's those SAKS people again.

Should I turn on the siren?

No, no. Patience. Eh?

Come on!

Get out of the car now!

Come on!

Get out of the car!

Take him. Come on, let's go!

Get down, get down!

Move!

Come on, let's go!

Come on, let's go!

Move!

What are you doing?

They have a baby.

What's this about?

Upping the stakes!

Come on, get in the car!

Get in the car!

Suspect under control.

Boss go, go, go!

We are with him! Go!

Shit!

Come on, get in the car! Go, go!

Go, go, go!

Suspect under control.

I repeat, suspect under control.

Sir! Sir, we're here.

Sir, there are a lot of us here.

Sir.

Sir, we're here. We're greeting you.

It's the boss we're talking to. Sir.

Hello, Lagos.

Good morning! I'm Sandra Ezekwesili,

and this is the morning news.

A suspect in the Craig family kidnapping

escaped police custody yesterday.

Professor Stella Craig is,

of course, the director general of NEOC,

the Nigeria Energy & Oil Company.

The police

are describing the suspect as male,

dark, tall, and with dreadlocked hair.

Yes! Yes!

I finally beat you!

Whoo!

You'll keep

boasting from here on out.

Check me out eh, check me out

Check me out, check me out oh!

Check me out, oh yeah!

Check that out, ooh!

Look at that time.

The young are taking over.

Well, the young have to learn speed.

Well, okay. Whatever, old man.

I made eggs.

I think I can survive on just

the taste of, uh, sweet victory.

Oh God!

Speaking about God,

Um...

I have been asked

to preach in church this evening,

and I'd like you to come, son.

You know I won't come.

Yet every day

for two years you still ask me.

I miss your mother too.

Every day.

But staying mat God won't...

D

Nobody really believes in

God or his son, Santa Claus.

Jesus.

Jesus Christ.

That's what I said.

Santa Claus, Jesus. Potato, "potahto."

You know you really ought to

take your spiritual life more seriously.

What have you got to lose?

And that's my cue.

D I have to go.

We have a huge pitch with VBank.

I might be late. Take care, D

See you.

God speed, son.

Are you only buying akara?

Yes.

Yes, give him.

Look at Uncle Paul passing by.

Uncle Paul, thank you.

My son told me what you did for him.

Thank you. God will bless you.

God will bless you too.

Thank you.

Bisi's mother.

Thank you. Have a good day, okay?

Have a good day. God will bless you.

Yeah, good morning.

Thank you.

You guys are eating without me, huh?

This man,

what he did for me, I can't even...

Anthony, how are you?

You see my...

A suspect

in the Craig family kidnapping

escaped police custody yesterday.

The police

are describing the suspect as male,

dark, tall, and with dreadlocked hair.

Lagos, don't forget,

if you see something, say something.

Paulo, my man. How are you?

What's going on?

I'm just happy to see you.

...that the suspect

is male, dark in complexion,

and may have been seen

around the Oworonshoki.

We got Ekene on line one.

Ekene, good afternoon, how are you doing?

Hi, Sandra. What's the meaning

of this game the police is playing?

If they want us to find the person,

they should give us a picture.

What is all this

Nollywood description they're doing?

Victoria, come in.

Good morning, ma.

Very nice work.

Thank you, ma.

But your piece is no longer going

to run on tomorrow's front page.

Ma?

I have decided

to go with more compelling material.

A journalist assassinated

to bury her report about

drug smuggling at the...

highest levels isn't compelling enough?

That's speculation at best.

Where is the proof?

Ma, you know the evidence

was stolen by her killers.

It doesn't make my research any less true.

Your mother was

the most fearless journalist.

I mourn for her everyday.

But your personal tragedy

does not make a story.

Imagine one word were to prove inaccurate,

this paper would be

buried in fines and litigation.

We cannot afford that, can we?

Ma...

Hello?

Professor Craig...

and I'm calling as I hpromised

to know if you have made up your mind.

Please, what do you want?

Professor,

I want to think that you are

a very educated person, a professor.

I beg of you, please.

Just tell us where to bring it.

You're the

anticorruption crusader, right?

Well, thankfully for you,

money is not my problem.

What do you want?

You will know exactly what I want,

as soon as

you make up your mind, Professor.

Him or the baby?

Him or the baby?

Come on! Goddammit! Him or the baby?!

This is so simple!

But you Nigerians

like to make things complicated.

But... What... Can you make up your mind?

Him or the baby?!

Him or the baby?

You want me to shed innocent blood

by killing two people

insteof one, as I promised.

Come on now, make up your mind.

Him or the baby?!

Don't kill my baby!

Don't kill our baby, please!

Now, isn't this just so simple, Professor?

Isn't this just so simple and easy?

Listen...

Just look at this innocent baby.

Why would you want

her to suffer on your behalf?

Well but then, I am a good Christian.

A very good Christian.

And I wouldn't want your beautiful baby

to grow up without a father.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Are you there, Professor?

You and your husband

can make another baby.

If you want to see him again,

I have specific instructions for you.

...Her resignation follows

the recent abduction of her daughter

and husband by gunmen in Lagos, Nigeria.

Their whereabouts still remain unknown.

We will be speaking

with Mr. Akin from Lagos.

This is a woman

who was fighting for every one of us...

Yes!

...against those corrupt people!

And of course,

corruption is fighting back.

Yes!

We are angry!

We are angry!

The street is very angry!

Very angry!

We want justice!

We want justice.

We call on unity...

We're angry!

Craig has been handled.

Greetings.

Take them to the farm.

Yes, Your Excellency.

Gentlemen, I'm pleased

to announce that my boy, Jubril Dauda

is going to be the new DG of NEOC.

Thank you, my boss.

Praise the Lord.

Hallelujah!

Praise the Lord.

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah.

Amen!

As Christians that we are,

we often ask ourselves whether

God can really forgive our past sins.

You all ask yourselves that.

Because honestly, some of us here,

have done some

terrible things before in our lives.

We have all committed

grave sins in our lives.

But the good news is

that this Bible that we re..

The police

are describing the suspect as male, dark...

Baba Bernard,

Yes?

I am going to church.

You too have started

going to church? We're thankful.

Let my dbe a little happy.

Everything

you've done previously,

God has done what? Thrown it away.

It is like paper,

a used paper,

dirty paper that has been used, and torn

and thrown away.

Praise the Lord.

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah!

Amen!

Young man,

where are you coming from

and where are you going?

I'm coming from work and I'm heading

to church a few minutes away from here.

Yahoo boys go to church?

I'm not a Yahoo boy.

I'm an strategy executive...

What is this?

Do Yahoo boys now have ID cards?

Open that bag! What is in it?

Give me my bag!

Sir, what's wrong?

what is the matter, anyway?

Hey!

You're an accomplice.

Ah! Officer, please.

You're an accomplice.

What did he do?

Leave this place now!

Ah, please!

Enter the vehicle!

Get inside the car! Move.

Ah, please, have mercy on me.

What has he done?

Move! Move!

Idiot.

Officer, all of this is unnecessary.

This is very unnecessary. I've told you,

I'm coming from work,

I'm going to church to meet my father.

My friend, keep quiet! Give me this phone!

Okay. Call my father.

He will confirm it.

His church is not far from here.

Hey.

Your father is a pastor?

No sir, he's a deacon.

Ahah, what is the meaning of this?

Leave me alone, please!

You can't take my picture,

what's the meaning of that?

You can't take my picture! You

don't have the right to take my picture.

What's going on? What's this?

Boss...

You people are harassing me.

...I just sent you a package now.

You people are harassing me.

What's the meaning of this?

Carry on.

You're harassing me.

What's the meaning of this?

Okay.

See, Officer, this is harassment.

This is harassment

and you have to let me go.

I know my rights!

Move!

I know my rights. Yes!

Really?

You know your rights?

You want to teach me my job, right?

Kidnapper.

No, sir, I'm not a kidnapper!

I'm not a kidnapper.

Raise your hand!

Kneel down!

Please, I'm not a kidnapper.

I'm not a Yahoo boy. Please sir.

Turn around!

I want my father to talk to you. Please.

Turn around!

Sir please, I'm begging you.

In the name of Jesus.

"If a man be in Christ...

...he is a new creation."

Old things are what? Passed away.

If it's not that, what is...

Leave the man!

Move away from there!

The police today

Damilola Edima,

the alleged mastermind

behind the Craig family kidnap.

According to the statement,

Edima died in a gunfight

with policemen in Lekki.

Dotun and Layla Craig are still

missing since their kidnap five days ago.

Mr. Man,

you remember we told you

that we do not

release the bodies of criminals

to their people until

we finish investigations.

Sir, I beg. I beg you in God's

name, my child is innocent. I beg you.

Please, my child is innocent.

The family that your child kidnapped,

do you think about them at all?

Do you think about them? No.

You only think about yourself.

You're selfish, you're wicked.

Mr. Edima...

I'm...

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Um... My name is Vic Kalu, I'm a journalist.

I know your son is innocent.

I've done some digging.

I spoke to the taxi driver

and some of his work colleagues.

You can make a very strong case

against the police for wrongful death.

I just want to bury my son.

Well... I want to help you, sir.

I can help you.

Will that bring back my son?

Hmm?

Paulo,

you have to stop blaming yourself.

This wasn't your fault.

I sinned terribly in my past.

God took away my son to punish me.

I accept.

But accusing my son of what he is not,

that I cannot accept.

Going to the station everyday

has not worked.

The police will not release

the records that will clear Dami's name.

Let me help you.

I walked away from that life.

Madam Vic,

this case is very sensitive.

There's nothing I can do.

Ahah, Sir Eagle please,

I will keep you

anonymous as usual.

Officer,

I would like to see

the case file on Damilola Edima, please.

Sir, we told you

to follow due process.

Yes, Officer,

I tried to follow the due process,

but your people are frustrating me.

What is this you're eating?

This is amala.

Remove your hand.

Give me that fish.

Officer, please.

Please give me the file.

Let me eat some.

I beg you.

This father of a thief...

Didn't I tell you

not to come back here again?

My son...

Leave here, my friend.

Please. Please, just let me see the file.

Leave this place!

Who is that?!

What is going on here?

Sir, you again?

You again?

Alright, move. Move!

Take him out.

Go outside! Don't come

and destroy things in this office.

You father of a kidnapper!

Move! Move it.

My son was not a kidnapper.

You father of a kidnapper!

Sir, move.

What is your problem?

My son was not a kidnapper.

Keep going.

Father of a kidnapper!

Like father, like son.

Useless man.

Coming to fight in our office.

You'll see what will happen to you.

Move!

I... Mr. E...

Keep going.

Move it!

Keep going!

Sir, there's no time.

Madam, have patience.

You see I'm doing your work.

Remember that two weeks ago,

the reps resolved

to investigate the matter

and come back within ten days

Sir!

And in fact the

speaker was talking about summoning the

One minute, no more.

information minister to appear.

Thank you.

It doesn't seem like he has a lethough.

Oh, baby. Fine girl.

Oh, baby. Hello.

Fine girl.

Hello!

How are you?

Come here!

Fine girl, how are you?

Fine girl! Hello!

Officer, bring that girl, let's see her.

Officer, we're hungry, we want to eat.

May hunger kill you!

Bring that girl, let's look at her face.

Mr. Edima, I heard about

what happened and I'm really sorry.

Leave me alone.

Well, I can get the records for you.

I have friends here who can help.

Madam, time is up!

Please.

Eeh, Is there any...

family member I can call?

Madam, let's go now.

Please hang in there.

I'll arrange your bail in the morning.

Fine girl, wait!

Oh, baby!

Come!

Oh, baby, wait!

Officer, please water!

You're the father of a dangerous criminal,

and insteof you being ashamed,

you are here shouting, making noise.

I'm gonna show you exactly

what happens to parents of criminals

who failed to train their children.

Boys, carry on.

Mr. Edima.

Oh my goodness, what happened?!

Mr. Edima!

I went to sort your bail

and was told that you were released.

I was suspicious.

Mr. Edima, I should call a doctor.

No.

I slipped and I fell

into a ditch and hurt myself.

I don't believe you.

I, um... got a copy of the... police report.

As we suspected, it is far from truthful.

It's...

curious how they're trying

to pin this case on your son.

Also, I know Professor Craig very well.

But since her family

got kidnapped, she has refused to speak

to me or anyone else about it.

It just... it all makes me feel like

something very fishy is going on.

Okay. You may be right.

But if this case

is as dirty as you say it is,

I'll suggest that you leave it alone,

so that your life will not be in danger.

The Bible says that,

"Vengeance is mine, and I will repay."

So I'll suggest that

you just... leave it for God.

Leave it for God.

With all due respect, sir,

"leaving it for God"

is the problem with Nigeria.

Do you have any idea

how many young men are...

killed under the pretext

of them being criminals?

No one speaks for them.

Aliyu, I have work?

Uncle, give me some money

What are you doing here? Get out!

Tell me if you see him.

Obalende!

How are you?

Who is it? Wait, wait!

Do you know who I am?!

What do you want?

Shh.

Now, which one of you...

killed my son?

Mr. Edima.

Mr. Edima.

Mr. Edima!

Mr. Edima?

SPEAK UP

GET ANGRY FREELY

A politician... a politician's son... please sir

I'm busy at the moment, come back later.

This can't wait, ma.

We needed to replace him because the

second unit hcalled in the incident.

I swear.

Wait, wait!

It was a rich man's kid.

I swear, a politician!

That's enough.

Let me think.

Close the door.

This is huge!

Where did you get it?

I can't reveal my sources, ma.

Of course.

How many people have seen this?

Only us. We have the only copy, I believe.

Good.

Ma!

Your mother was killed

because she tried to uncover

the affairs of dangerous people.

I'm not gonna sit back

and let you get yourself killed.

But...

Victoria, I'm doing

this for your own good.

This better be important.

DC,

I have just intercepted

a recording of your boys confessing.

But I have blocked it.

I'm grateful.

Don't be grateful.

Tell Senator.

The debt he owes me is a lot.

And I will collect.

Paul Edima!

You people went to kill Paul Edima's son!

We thought he was just an old man.

Old man? Paul Edima!

The most dangerous man in this country.

Twentythree assassinations.

One hundred and thirteen

domestic operations.

Participated and plotted

eight coup d'états

There's only one reason

why you are still alive.

And that is because

you gave this man information.

What is it?

I... I just think

he wants to clear his son's name.

Who did you tell him

we exchanged his son for?

No idea. No, I don't know.

And you expect me to believe that?!

Sir, no. No, sir.

He did not know that information.

Eeh?

Well.

In that case,

we have to eliminate him immediately.

Sir?

Sir, what?!

I think we need

to tell General about this.

He still has a deal with Paul.

And when he finds out

whose son was exchanged,

do you really think he's not going

to come after my own son?

You think about it.

Think about it! Think!

You better

do something to fix this thing.

You'd better, Mr. Man.

If this man

is as dangerous as you say,

I fear we may need more resources.

Then make him a national problem.

Get the entire police force after him.

And how do we do that?

You know my commissioner

is going to insist on hard evidence.

Ah, hard evidence.

Listen, make the next turn, okay?

Yeah. That's the answer

to your problem. Right?

Paul Edima shot

a decorated police officer.

Simple.

Yes.

I'll be right there.

What's going on?

The police have found

the bodies of Dotun Craig and baby.

Wow!

Jeez!

Where's my drive?

What drive?

I'm sorry but my editor destroyed it.

I think, I know how

to help you find out who killed your son.

Professor Craig...

thank you so much for seeing me.

I came with Mr. Edima.

We believe his son was killed by

the same people who killed your family.

People

complain about the cost of IVF,

but the emotional stress is... unimaginable.

They killed my baby and sent a message.

They said "walk away."

I thought they would

spare my husband's life if I did.

But they killed him anyway.

Then I started thinking...

wondering who wanted me out.

The threats began when I started

working on the files for these oil blocs.

Thank you. Thank you.

I fought...

against corruption all my life.

I fought and I lost... everything.

It has to mean something.

Make it mean something.

I'm so sorry.

Okay,

so I've sorted by most valuable

First owned locally,

which leaves us with four companies,

Lantern, Twin Energy,

PeatPetro, and Holyfield.

Nah, there's... there's

something we are missing.

Well, if you tell me

what we are looking for...

Wait, Patriot Oil...

for experimental drilling

by the government,

eh... sold off because it was barren.

Tadada... Oh!

And let's see, the ownership is...

Confidential.

Confidential.

Vic, I need you

to walk away from this case.

What are you talking about?

You need to go.

It's the only way I can protect you.

Uh, I think you need to see this.

The man, Paul Edima,

murdered a senior SAKS official

in what we understand

to be a retaliatory action

for the death of his son, Damilola Edima,

the mastermind behind the

kidnap of Dotun and Layla Craig.

The Police Service urges

anyone out there...

What did you do?

...with information about this man...

We don't have time for that.

...to come forward and aid...

Well, I deserve to know what's going on.

...in our investigation.

The less you know, the better for you.

Why do you know

so much yet say so little?!

How did you find out about the oil blocs?

I mean, who are you?

Look, don't pretend

for once that

this case meant anything to you

more than an opportunity

for you to advance your career.

Shh.

Don't make a sound.

Do exactly what I say.

What?

Go low. Go low, go low!

Excuse me.

Move. Stay there.

I should just do what you say?

Oh my...

Oh my!

Who is...

Paulo, Pastor Paulo.

You are really a man of God now.

Because the Paulo I know

would have wasted all of them here.

Paulo.

Do you still sleep around?

Drop it! Drop it.

Gently.

Oh, nice. Sit.

Sit!

You're not going to kill me, are you?

You are a man of God.

That is not what

we are here to talk about.

Whose son was it?

And how many sons

did you send to their graves

when you were

the General's favorite weapon?

Now that the heat is turned on you,

you are getting emotional, Paulo.

Come on.

I kept my side of the bargain.

I walked away.

So why would the General want to kill me?

Hmm?

Oh.

It's not the General,

it's Dipo.

Oh yes, it's Dipo.

He's afraid that

I will come after his son.

You don't know that.

Oh, the General would

never send you after me.

Dammit, he didn't!

He didn't!

He has never believed in me anyway.

It's always been about you!

His favorite son, Paulo.

Oh shut up, Angelo.

He would not send you after me

because you are too incompetent.

Okay.

I'm gonna send you back to Dipo.

I want a live video confession

of you, Dipo, and his son,

admitting to what you did.

So I can clear my son's name.

The General would

never do that, and you know it.

I hope for your own sake, that he does.

My boy.

I'm surprised you came alone.

I can see you're still the man I trained.

To the matter at hand...

Edima, my condolences.

But what's done is done.

We can talk compensations.

But I need you to walk away,

in the interest of the family.

Agreed.

One million dollars.

General,

all I want is my son's body.

Unfortunately,

that police commissioner

woman is not one of ours.

My demand still stands.

And I need a confession, on tape...

of Dipo, his son, and Angel.

Edima, I am trying to be reasonable.

Then respectfully, General,

we have nothing else to talk about.

And now I wish to get Dipo,

with or without your help.

Edima,

you forget you don't have full control.

Do you really want to see what I can do?

Sir!

My... my General,

don't worry, sir.

We have brought everything...

everything will soon be under control sir.

I made a deal with that man,

which granted him his freedom

You killed the man's only child.

He will not stop

until he gets what he wants.

I would be tempted

to let him teach you a lesson,

if the stakes weren't

so high for me personally.

Be that as it may,

I am left with no option

than to order a fumigation.

I've hto call in

the only person who never fails.

He must die

by the hand of the police.

Their job is to ensure

he has nowhere to run.

This is nonsense. Ridiculous!

One person can't be out there

killing my men with impunity.

Tighten the noose!

Excuse me, ma!

Give me all known

and unknown associates now.

Can you please tell us

what's going on here?

From this moment going forward,

Paul Edima is public enemy number one.

Ma, please can you please shed more light?

Thank you, sir.

Bye.

Yes, come in.

Ahah, Vikiviki.

Ahah!

Hi, D

When are you going to start

calling me "Father" like everybody else?

Father means d

And I see that you are properly dressed.

I brought you some food.

And so, how about the food for my eyes?

From the hottest

young journalist in Lagos.

Eh?

Vic

I have told you,

printed copies. Printed copies.

You know that my eyes do not

agree with all of this bright screen.

Uhuh.

I'm sorry.

Give me a minute.

Take it easy.

I'll be back.

"To all the mums we lost on...

They did that last week in Zamfara.

To cover up

the General's illegal mining operations.

If you go after Dipo,

you become a threat

to the General's oil and gas interests.

I have nothing to lose anymore.

You have the girl.

But for how long before

they find her and get you through her?

You need some leverage.

In times like these, I wonder

if giving up that book,

was the right thing.

This time, you have

to run or hide for a while.

It's about time

you get in touch with Richard.

He owes you and hates that man, General.

I haven't been in touch with Richard

since he went deep, deep underground.

On the streets,

they call him Big Daddy.

Getting to meet

with him is nearly impossible.

He has to want to meet with you.

What is all this rubbish

that you throw all around the place?

Take all this rubbish away

from the front of my shop right now.

Stop disrupting

my sales with your rubbish.

Good morning?

Good morning.

Please,

I'm looking for Peruvian jacquard.

We don't have it.

Madam please, the person that sent me

said that this

is the only place I can find it.

Look here, young man,

I said we don't have it.

If I hit, I would sell it to you.

Look here,

it's too early for this.

Madam, please, I beg you.

If you don't have it,

can you take me to

the person that can sell to me, please?

Please.

Okay. Follow me.

Alright, come. Well done.

Well done.

Richard Ejende...

my lover.

For that, he was very grateful.

I know Issa is after you.

That is why you have

come for Richard's help.

Richard owes me.

Richard is de

When Richard tried to leave,

the General killed him.

The only reason he did not kill you

was because you gave him the Black Book.

There's no day that goes by that I don't

wish that I can put a bullet

in Issa for what he did to my Richard.

If you kill him,

someone will take his place.

Well, see I keep my business

away from personal affairs.

Issa has not hurt my business.

When people wanted to meet Big Daddy,

they met Richard.

But I have always been Big Daddy.

You created the Black Book.

You could've destroyed him with it

but then you handed it to him inste

You never stood up to him.

Until they killed your son.

I can take away

all his power, if you help me.

Issa is too fearsome

an animal for me to get involved with.

There are some grudges

that should be taken to the grave.

Joshua! Joshua, come in!

Joshua! Joshua!

Edima, you have brought

your trouble to my door.

You'd better leave. Now!

Where is he?

You must be the glorious Jesú.

Are you telling me

one man, one man

only, is bigger than

the entire police force? Ahah.

I appreciate

your concern, Senator Dipo.

It can't be so.

You have my assurance that

the culprit will be apprehended soon.

Good! My commissioner!

Yes.

Good night.

Madam Commissioner, I would advise

that you remain calm...

and no sudden movement.

Two things...

the SAKS men...

murdered my son and framed him

on orders of very powerful people.

I want his body for burial.

Do you have evidence?

I did.

Shut up!

You break

into my house to convince me,

that some of my men, men...

...whom you have killed,

are now working with criminals?

Is that what you'd have me believe?

If I wanted your men de

why did I leave them on the streets?

What's the second thing you want?

Her life is in danger.

I can get you the men

you want if you can protect her.

That would depend now, wouldn't it?

Can she corroborate your story?

Sir.

Hmm.

Deputy, how are you?

Well done.

I have to commend

all your hard work so far. Well done.

Thank you, ma.

Alright.

So, any update on the Edima case?

We're making progress, ma.

Yeah. I'm sure you'll fish him out

the same way

you fished out the boy, right?

Okay, refresh my memory...

how did you catch the boy again?

It was an anonymous tip, ma.

The SAKS boys were very lucky because

the boy was armed and dangerous.

Well, didn't he escaped from custody once?

Yes he did.

The boy was as slippery as a snail.

Slippery like a snail.

Wow.

Well done. Well done again.

Sir.

Osaretin, uh, before you go,

please come. Um...

I've been... I can't seem to

find one detail here. Now, tell me again,

eeh... what kind of rifle

was retrieved from the criminal?

Cause I've been checking

and there's absolutely no record

of any type of weapon

amongst the items found on his person.

You presented a weapon to the press.

Now there's no record

of it in the inventory.

Sir, um, let me explain.

The only explanation

I want to hear from you

is a full statement

why you murdered an innocent boy!

You can save

your lowlevel acting for the press.

Now get out of my office!

Osaretin.

Osaretin.

Big daddy, it is done.

So you knew this man all along?

You wanted to know who I am.

there was a drug trafficking boom

from South America,

through West Africa to Europe and America.

To the Nigerian government,

it was a menace,

but to General Issa, our founder,

he only saw opportunity.

He took over the drug trade.

We were

recruited into a private squ

run by a former military chief

we call the General.

We were young men,

trained by the best to do the worst,

and feel the least.

We oversaw

several coups across West Africa.

To ease the flow of jobs,

the press was bought off.

Anyone who didn't

fall in line was eliminated.

We were on, what we called, "fumigation."

Everything that moved,

needed to be killed.

Our target was a journalist

who huncovered

the General's biggest drug smuggler, Dipo.

We tracked her to her house in Surulere.

Where is it?

Please.

It was a fumigation,

the child hto go.

What day was it?

What was the date?!

A journalist...

investigating a...

prominent drug trafficker was

...killed in her home.

You... killed my mother.

If I could take it all back...

You thought... paying for my upkeep would...

wash the guilt off your...

bloodstained hands?!

I was trying to protect you.

You killed my mother!

Victoria.

Victoria, you're in danger.

I was safe until he showed up.

That's... why you wanted me to walk away.

Never, ever...

come near my life again.

Victoria, wait!

I...

expected more from you!

Reverend Father Omotosho.

You should have

called the police on this... criminal!

Insteyou harbored him,

and you took his blood money.

I'm ashamed of you!

Victoria.

Please help me.

Get down. Down!

You're still a hard man to kill.

I admire that.

Which is why I'm happy

I took out an insurance policy.

You will bring yourself to Kaduna,

and I will let her go.

You said you can take away all his powers.

Tell me how.

When I refused to kill the child,

Issa was gonna send Angel to kill her.

If you want that child to live...

there is a way...

if you are brave.

Sir?

A life for a life.

A life... for a life.

Exceptions can be made, sir.

And what value would

justify such an exception?

The book, sir. It is real.

Every mission, every operation,

every one involved in your trade.

I documented everything.

Order by Dipo.

Kano...

That's enough, soldier!

Enough.

So,

you are willing to wager this book?

I want everything.

You go free, she goes free.

And I get everything.

I hto protect her.

The General built

all his powers with the Black Book.

I gave it up for her.

And I'm gonna take it back for her.

I'm gonna take back everything.

Are you sure

the safe is still in the vault?

Yes.

How can you be so sure?

I trained many of General's men.

I still have friends on the inside.

Tanko.

It's good to see you. You look well.

Yeah, I'm okay.

The General owns

this entire stretch of land.

The ranch where his home is

and across the lake. Here is the farm,

where he maintains

a strong room five floors underground.

Heavily guarded, just like the ranch is.

And your girl is being held

on the ranch, in the guard room, here.

Behind the stable.

And there's only one way there.

Okay. The obvious tactic

would be an extraction.

That means first of all,

you have to show on how

we can match

with the guns that the General has,

both the police and military.

And all the roads

and links have been sealed,

to the farm, to the ranch, everywhere.

And even if we extract the girl,

it is going to be very hard

to take her out of that place.

Okay. So, that's where

Big Daddy and her girls come in.

But first, for that to work,

we need the military

and the police out of here.

Today is Friday.

It's Friday.

That's it.

Okay so, this is

what happens every Friday.

Worshippers from across

the state are all gathered. Alright?

And so the police is stretched.

If something is to happen,

all of this, the military, the police,

will all be needed somewhere else.

Run! Run!

Calling all units.

All units come in. Code red.

Come in, farm squ Can you reme?

Farm Squ come in.

In order for this to work,

I have to go in unarmed.

I hope this girl is worth it.

Big Daddy!

Big Daddy,

how are you doing? Welcome.

Zara, Chi Chi, Baraka!

Greetings.

Are you all good?

Ah, greetings to you all.

Greetings.

Bring quick, eh.

I'm sorry.

What difference does it make?

You're not saving me now, are you?

If they don't kill me today,

how soon before they find me again?

Not if you take all of them down.

Them?

So, what?

You're a good guy now?

The General, Angel, me,

we are all part of

an evil system that needs to be destroyed.

Finish the work that your mother started.

Never speak about my mother!

If they kill us,

I hope yours is a s horrible death.

I agree completely.

You are well within

your rights to seek justice.

You see,

this man killed your mother.

Remember all the pain you have felt.

All the emptiness,

because someone killed your mother.

Vic, don't let him

turn you into one of us.

Do it!

Hey!

Hands up!

Hey!

As you can see,

the girl you came for

would gladly kill you.

General,

this kind of play only works

when you have full control.

Right now, you don't have full control.

Open the safe.

What do you mean

the police is

responding to terrorism threats?

The terrorists are at my farm!

Look, there are

herdsmen attacking my farm.

Send your men immediately.

You're still here, you idiot?

If that safe leaves the farm...

They will kill me.

What do you think we are going to do?

How long do you need?

Twentyfive minutes.

Big Daddy, that's it?

Nope!

Once we secure the farm, kill them.

Chi Chi, share the groundnut.

Woah!

It's a narrow alley.

Baraka, how are we doing?

This is not helping.

A little more time.

Big Daddy!

Just keep going.

Trust me. Just trust me.

It appears you are out of moves.

It's a deend, eh?

Where is it?

Where is the damn safe?!

Where is it?

You've got bigger problems

than that safe, my friend.

No way! You are

mining illegally under the cover of herdsmen.

You will not get away with it!

Now, who did you send that to?

Talk to me. Who did you send that to?

Talk to me, for God's sake!

Shoot him!

Shoot him!

Are they coming?

Yes.

Are they coming?

Yes!

Stop there, you.

Hey, I said stop. Stop that!

Looks like you're alone, my dear friend.

This is Kaduna.

And any man who has a gun, I control.

I am a woman.

And no one controls us.

Is this man crazy?

Put it down!

The General must

believe you have the safe.

And when they are

focused on chasing you down,

the safe will quietly cross the lake.

In this country,

there has always been a hierarchy.

People like me, people like you,

then, bloody civilians.

I give orders, you follow orders,

and civilians,

sheep as they are, they obey.

We allow them

a sense of democratic freedom,

but retain power and knowledge.

So their delusions of

liberal society do not leto anarchy.

That is the natural order of things.

I always believed you knew that.

The information in that safe

brings this Federal Republic together.

If it goes out, the country burns.

Do you know what you have done?

If you think I will

spend one day in a civilian court,

you do not know

how this country really works.

It is not the civilians

that want you, General.

Two weeks ago, your men murdered

four officers of the Nigerian Army,

protecting your illegal mining operations.

How dare you?!

There is a way out, General,

if you are brave.

There are many things

that I thought you were,

but a coward was never one of them.

Victoria,

when you first came into my life,

I wanted you to walk away,

I wanted distance.

Because I was not

brave enough to face consequences.

Consequences brought

upon you by the things I did.

You may never see me again,

but I must leave you one last task.

To open the Black Book,

a safe full of unspeakable things.

Things of the past, things in the present.

The safe will answer many questions

and bring many powerful people to justice.

Is this

how you will treat me? Is this...

Wait, Paulo.

Paulo!

Paulo!

You will also find that

your mother was betrayed

by a woman you look up to.

Goodbye, Judith.

I leave this safe with you.

Knowing I too must pay for my crimes.

When that time comes,

you know where to find me.

To open this safe,

you must be braver than I ever was.

As brave as your mother,

who knew we could not

continue living in the dark.

She knew that silence is the enemy.

You must feel no guilt

in doing what you have to do.

The past must die

to truly serve the future.

I only ask for a day,

to do the one duty I have left.

One last journey with my son,

to bring his body back home.
