[hailing] Inelistic Inesco.

[cheering]

- [in Pidgin] Inesco, is this really you?
- [cheering ceases]

[in Pidgin] It is me!

[cheering resumes]

[in Pidgin] I'm back
and better exposed now!

It's plenty.

It's plenty.

[Ene, in Pidgin] Enough.

Did she win an award?

[in Ibibio] Let's go.

[shouting excitedly]

[Jagun] Come here!

[in Pidgin] Jagun,
are you crazy?

- [in Pidgin] Get your a*s here!
- Jagun.

What's wrong with you?
You trying to hit me?

Jagun! Jagun!

Jagun!

Ah!

[groans]

[in Pidgin] Are you crazy?!

[grunts]

[dramatic music playing]

[in Pidgin] Blood! In this hood?

[Jagun] You'll die here today.

Blood!

- You will die today.
- [Ene] Jagun.

Mama, leave before
something happens to you.

She has no idea you've
been promoted, please.

- I don't care about the promotion.
- Whose side are you on?!

[in Ibibio] Shut your mouth.

[in Pidgin] Please.

- [in Pidgin] Let me see your nose.
- Scar will hear of this.

[in Pidgin] Me,
bleed in my hood?

- Let me see.
- Scar will hear of this.

- [in Ibibio] Let's go.
- After Scar, I am second in command.

- [in Ibibio] I don't know why you're here.
- [in Pidgin] In this hood!

[Ene] Let's go.

[in Ibibio] I don't understand
why you're picking fights.

Do you know how Shanty Town is?

I haven't had a
fight all this while.

[in Ibibio] Sister,
don't be upset.

I don't know what came over me.

- I wasn't supposed to react like that.
- [Ene mimics Inem] Let's go.

- [Jackie, in Pidgin] Calm down.
- [Ene] What is going on here?

Mama!

[gasps]

[in Pidgin] Mama, is this you?!

Mama, I thought I'd
never see you again.

[in Pidgin] It is me.

[in Pidgin] Mama, I am
free from Shanty Town.

[in Pidgin] I wanted
to surprise you.

After all your hustle in Shanty
Town, you're now your own boss.

- [in Pidgin] You're free now?
- [in Pidgin] But it wasn't easy.

There were times when
I wanted to give up,

but I remembered all
the things you told me.

I kept going and now I'm free.

[in Pidgin] Now
that you're free,

everything you've
learned in Shanty Town,

take it with you
and live your life.

[Inem] Don't ever look
back. Do you hear me?

And don't regret anything
that you did here.

Because everything that
has happened to you here

is an experience necessary
for your new life.

- [in Pidgin] Do you understand?
- Thank you, Mama.

Thank you.

[Ene] Shalewa!

Attention!

[in Pidgin] This girl here,

her father gave her to
Scar to pay his debt.

What's wrong with you?
Why are you crying?

[in Pidgin] She tried
paying for her freedom.

[in Pidgin] Jackie lent me money to
pay off my father's debt to Scar,

so I'd be free.

Only for Scar to tell me I
owe him 15,000,000 naira.

- [Ene] What?!
- Where will I find that?

Where will I get men I would
sleep with to make 15,000,000?

Where?!

[in Pidgin] Why would you make
such a plan without involving me?

Why won't Scar get a calculator
to calculate her debt?

Are you crazy, Jackie?!

[in Pidgin] Don't raise your
voice at me. What do you mean?

Don't act like you brought me here. I'm
not your child, yet you treat me like one.

I am free now.

[in Pidgin] That's why you
are talking like a sl*ve.

[Inem, in Pidgin] That's enough.

You all should take this
energy to fight Scar.

Fighting each other
now doesn't make sense.

You all should
calm down, please.

[Jackie, in Pidgin]
Shalewa, I'm leaving.

- Don't leave me.
- Forget about the money I lent you.

[in Pidgin] Forget about it.

- I don't want to hit somebody here.
- Get out!

- Don't let me fight you.
- Fight yourself and get out of here.

Idiot!

[in Pidgin] Take it easy
with them, they are kids.

[in Pidgin] Are you referring to
these ones who f*ck anything, as kids?

- They f*ck more than me.
- Relax.

- I'm out of here, you all should rest.
- That's okay.

- Shalewa.
- [Ene muttering]

[in Pidgin] That's okay.

Don't worry.

You are a strong girl,
everything will be fine.

Don't worry, okay?

You live alone inside

Nobody but you where you die

Yeah, I...

Yeah, man Jealousy

You live alone inside

Nobody but you where you die

Yeah, I... Listen up

Yeah, yeah

No fear in my body's system

g*nsh*t wounds if
we ever see them

- Pilot.
- Yes? [chuckles]

[engine starts]

[stammers] Jackinator!

I'm going to town,
can you take me?

[in Pidgin] Yes. [stammering]

- [stammers] Where are you going?
- I'm going to Epe.

[stammering] Epe?

The same, the same...
the same... Ep... Epe?

[in Pidgin] Not at all.

[in Pidgin] It is
far. [stammering]

[in Pidgin] What are you saying?

Even Dangote still works for
money, or don't you want money?

[stammering] I will go.

[in Pidgin] It's okay, I'll go.

[Shalewa] Jackie…

[driver mumbles]

Hey, Shalewa.

[Jackie] My Barbie.

[in Pidgin] You're
heading to town, right?

Yes, I'm heading to town.

[in Pidgin] I want
to go to town too.

I just want to go somewhere for
a drink. You know what happened.

If I can raise some money
tonight, I can start saving.

Don't be upset,
okay? You'll be fine.

I understand, it's not your
fault. This is how this place is.

Don't worry, okay? [in Igbo]
Everything will be fine.

- [in Pidgin] I know you're a strong babe.
- [in Pidgin] You know this.

Take care, send me a message
on Whatsapp when you arrive.

- Of course!
- All right.

Mr. Touch and Follow,
please drive safely.

[stammering] Okay.

- [in Pidgin] Are you going or not?
- Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

[stammering] Congratulations
on your freedom.

[in Pidgin] You are always
interferring in people's businesses.

Congrats.

JACKIE IS GOING TO EPE

- [Jackie] Mr. Man!
- Yes.

[in Pidgin] Come and
take me out of here!

[in Pidgin] I'm
coming. [stammering]

[mimics driver] You're coming.

Sorry.

- Sorry for yourself.
- Sorry.

[in Pidgin] You are always
in people's business.

Sorry.

[Jackie, in Pidgin] Just take me out
of here, you are wasting so much time.

JACKIE IS GOING TO EPE. I WILL SEND
THE WHATSAPP LOCATION WHEN WE GET THERE

[in Yoruba] Ah! Father!

The Warlord!

The overseer of wealth!

Number one.

The leader of all Yoruba land.

My father, I prostrate
before you, sir.

- [Chief Fernandez] Aboderin.
- Father!

I hope I didn't disturb
your thoughts. Huh?

[Scar, in Yoruba] One's
blessings must not pass one by.

You are the one helping us.

[Chief Fernandez, in Yoruba]
Get up. Shake my hand.

[Scar, in Yoruba] Warrior.

A philanthropist.

I worship you, Father.

Aboderin.

[Scar, in Yoruba] Father.

[in Yoruba] A patient dog

eats the fattest bone.

[Scar, in Yoruba] That's right.

[Chief Fernandez] That is what my
father's fathers told their sons.

They were hunters, you see.

Hunters

and fishermen.

Aboderin.

Do you know what it means to wait
for something that you really want?

My forefathers could wait.

It was their lifestyle.

They would pick a position

and wait.

Pick a moment

and wait.

They would pick a target

and wait.

It was only after
all the waiting

has been done,

that they strike.

Aboderin.

Do you know what happens

when they strike?

They k*ll.

At the time, my forefathers,

they lived at Ile Ife.

They were the first migrants

that found Eko.

[Chief Fernandez] Hmm?

Later named

Lagos State.

But they lost their ways.

They forgot who they were.

They became politicians.

Politicians are foolish.

[in Yoruba] They do not think.

Aboderin…

Politicians want it now.

Do you know the
Guttenberg Galaxy?

Hmm?

[in Yoruba] No, sir.

Oh, it was there

that Marshall McLuhan

first suggested

that the world

is a global village

and the skills

to rule the village,

is that of a hunter,

or a fisherman.

[laughing]

Aboderin.

[in Yoruba] Father.

Can I trust you?

[in Yoruba] Father,

with all of my life.

Your enemy is my enemy.

I will be the next governor

of Lagos state,

at the end of the next election.

[in Yoruba] So shall it
be, father! It is done.

That's how God wants
it, father, I swear!

It will be exactly as
you have said it will be.

I swear.

Whatever you want will
be done just as you say.

I swear, it is done.

[Scar] Ah.

I already own one
tenth of Lagos.

But that is just property.

I need people, Aboderin.

[in Pidgin] They need
somebody like you.

[in Yoruba] I swear.

I hope you know that
you're like a son to me.

It was I who anointed you to
take over Fat Comrade's place,

after I slaughtered him,

right here.

And I took you in

as a father would a son.

[in Yoruba] You
are right, father.

You are our helper.

You feed us.

When you become the governor,

everything becomes better.

Our factories

will be scattered
all around Lagos.

- Aboderin.
- Father.

I need you

to shut down the Ice age.

Only the ice cream factory

and the girls with a
helping hand, will remain.

[menacing music playing]

I suspect that they will
cast a dark spotlight

on my aspiration.

[in Yoruba] Father,
but you can't do that.

Aboderin…

Don't you ever

in your life again,

question me.

Get the girls ready
in four hours.

[in Yoruba] Father.

[in Yoruba] You are
showing off, right?

[Jackie] Where's the money
you saved to open your bar?

[Jackie] Won't you use it
to buy your freedom first?

[Jackie] You have to be
alive to become a mixologist.

[Scar] Your rent here in Shanty Town
is 500,000 multiplied by three years.

Insurance for five
ab*rtion, protection…

You walk all over Shanty Town,

you think it's free?

So all the money you owe me now

is 15,000,000 naira.

[bartender] Welcome, sir.

African zombie, please.

- [bartender] Okay, sir.
- Thank you.

[bartender] Here you go.

- Thanks, Mike.
- [Mike] Enjoy your drink.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Can I help you?

[sighs]

Unless what you wanted is

a cheap Mai Tai with
just rum on top.

[in Pidgin] That drink
you have in your hand

is definitely not
African Zombie.

Well, I kind of
know my c*ck.

And this right here

is my favorite.

I respect it.

If you're sure. I mean…

Who am I?

[in Pidgin] I just
don't want to believe

that you really think
this is African Zombie.

Okay, c*ck whisperer.

So, tell me.

What's the difference between
this and African zombie?

[in Pidgin] For me to show
you, you have to pay me.

You mean money?

I mean

I can make you the best

[in Pidgin] African Zombie that
you have ever tasted in your life.

Is this some kind of game?

Or did any of my friends
put you up to this?

- Do you know who I am?
- [in Pidgin] Who are you?

Oh please, stop
that! Who knows you?

So how much are
we talking about?

Well…

Not too much like that.

Just, like…

Anything from, like,

10,000 and above.

You know.

Unless you are also famous
for being a stingy guy.

Mike.

- [Mike] Sir.
- Do me a favor.

Let her fix me some
African Zombie, by herself.

- [Mike] Okay, sir.
- Thank you.

[Shalewa] Okay!

So first things first, there
are different types of Zombie.

[in Pidgin] But since
the one you want

is the African
Zombie, I've got you.

The first thing we need is a shaker.
Please, is your shaker there with you?

I'll also get you
a very fancy cup.

- [in Pidgin] Do you have that skull cup?
- Yes, Ma.

Please give me one, perfect!

We'll use this cup for you.

It's called a skull cup

and that's what I'll be
pouring your drink in.

Five cl.

One teaspoon of grenadine.

Bacardi.

Five cl.

151 Rum.

Another two cl.

[in Pidgin] You seem
stressed, right?

I can tell from your suit.

We're going to give you some
ice to just cool your body.

Now, one of my favorite parts…

Our strainer…

And then we pour that beauty.

Now, go ahead.

[hip hop music playing]

Thank you.

Hey.

Femi.

Femi Fernandez, and you are?

Uh-uh.

We'll see.

Hey…

What's a little money one can
spend for some quality time

with a woman like you?

Well, for starters…

He has to be a man

[in Pidgin] who knows exactly
what he wants out of life.

Hmm?

[in Pidgin] I mean, there are a lot of
things in life that we can't control.

Like your drink,

and your free time.

[in Pidgin] You shouldn't
have brought them here.

Okay?

Just one dance.

One dance.

How many minutes now?

[in Pidgin] I knew that your car
was useless the moment I saw it.

Sorry.

You're telling me sorry instead of
calling a mechanic. Or are you now one?

[stammering] I'm trying to...

I told you to call a mechanic,
you're saying you're trying to.

Call a mechanic! Look at
how lonely this place is.

Or do you have another plan?

- [muttering]
- [phone ringing]

MAMA ENE

[Jackie muttering] Eh?

[in Pidgin] Come get me out of
here. Call a mechanic, do something.

[in Pidgin] I'll take you...

You've been saying you'll get me
out of here since we got here.

Sorry.

- You'll take me?
- [phone ringing]

Yeah, hello.

Moji, why are you calling me?

I'm free now.

I've paid my dues.

I'm no longer in Shanty,
why are you calling me?

Please, I'm warning you,
don't call this line again.

[R&B music playing]

[in Pidgin] This girl is very
bold, she's threatening me.

She has the guts to tell
me to run from this town.

You caused this.

It's because you kept me here.

[in Igbo] It's the plug.

Babe?

JACKIE

[in Pidgin] I don't know why
she isn't picking up my calls.

- Where is she?
- [busy tone]

If you like, don't
call a mechanic.

Act as both mechanic and driver.

[stammering] Sorry.

[in Pidgin] Mr. Scar,
good evening.

Please, can you give me a lift?

Mr. Touch and Follow
just ruined my night.

[in Pidgin] You want
me to glve you a lift?

You want one last ride
for the road, right?

Carry your bag.

[Jackie whimpering]

[in Pidgin] Please don't be
angry. I'll order an Uber.

[in Pidgin] Don't be angry.

I will find my way.

[in Igbo] You have someone
like me, a whole Scar,

and you chose Mike.

Huh?

[in Igbo] But
Scar, I'm now free.

[in Pidgin] am free.
You said it yourself,

I was free to go.

[in Igbo] You are free?

[in Pidgin] You disappoint me.

[in Igbo] I'm done
serving you, I'm free.

[in Igbo] Are you trying
to explain to me, Scar,

king of birds,

that what we do in
Ashanti, is senseless?

[in Pidgin] Family is
forever, don't you know?

[in Igbo] I will cut off
your head and put in it,

for it to make sense.

[Jackie whimpering]

- [panting]
- [groaning]

[phone vibrating]

[screaming, whimpering]

[in Pidgin] The only thing that
can separate family is death.

[panting]

[in igbo] Safe journey.

[both breathing heavily]

[ominous music playing]

[in Yoruba] Useless
m*therf*cker!

[in Pidgin] You should
have cut her better.

How do I find her eyes now?

[in Pidgin] If I slap you!

[in Pidgin] You must be crazy.

Do I pay you to come here
and ask silly questions?

Huh?

You are crazy.

That means you want to lose
your protection in Shanty.

[Ene] Scar…

Inem,

she's returned.

[in Pidgin] You said what?

[in Pidgin] She has been
released from prison.

I've told you that you're crazy.

I tell you something
and you get upset.

What are you saying?

She's back...

[choking]

[in Pidgin] Scar, please
take your hand off my neck.

[in Pidgin] She called me.

She called you?

[in Pidgin] Who are you
that she's calling you?

[whispering] I don't know.

Why is she calling you?

I don't know.

Please, let go of my neck.

You don't know?

Where is she?

Shanty.

Shanty Town.

[in Pidgin] In my own Shanty?

[in Pidgin] Please.

If you're lying to me,

what I did to Jackie

would be child's play compared
to what I'll do to you.

Just lie to me.

[indistinct chatter among g*ng]

- I believe you.
- [in Pidgin] It shows on your face.

[brakes screech]

[ominous music playing]
