[clears throat]

[Scar, in Yoruba] Hello!

Who is there?

Eh?

Who are you?

Who is there?

[Scar] What is this?

[groans]

Who is there?

[Dame] Oh, good.

You're awake.

I was wondering how long
it was going to take you.

[Dame] My resources assured
me that you're a real man.

[Dame] I was beginning
to doubt you.

[Scar, in Yoruba]
This is a woman.

Are you a woman?

Huh?

[in Pidgin] You're a woman
and you did this to me?

- [Scar, in Pidgin] You are dead, I swear.
- [Dame] Mr. Scar.

Or Aboderin?

[Dame] Which do you prefer?

[Scar, in Pidgin] I
swear, if I get you…

[in Yoruba] God.

You just take off
these handcuffs.

Or what?

[in Yoruba] You're in trouble, on
God! [in Pidgin] I will mess you up.

The kind of beating your
father never handed you.

- [Dame] My father?
- [in Pidgin] Your father is crazy!

You are mad.

[in Yoruba] If I
get hold of you,

[in Pidgin] I'll put my d*ck in your
a*s and it'll come out of your mouth.

I'll show you who Scar is.

You are crazy.

[Dame] Danger reveals the
true side of a man, Mr. Scar.

It shows

the extremely witty,
resourceful ideas

under your sleeves, guy.

Or,

it reveals…

the foolish,

talentless side

of a man that does
not have an idea

of the sh*t storm
they ventured in.

[groans]

[in Yoruba] Please.
Please, Your Excellency.

Mama, I swear I didn't know it
was you. Please don't be upset.

Don't be upset.

Hm.

[Scar, in Pidgin] I'm sorry.

I was going to
invite you to dinner,

but,

now I see you're
full of yourself.

[in Yoruba] I made
a mistake, I swear.

Take pity on me.
Forgive me, Mama.

[in Yoruba and Pidgin]
Please, I'm sorry, Ma.

Sorry.

[theme music playing]

- [double g*nshots]
- [b*ll*ts tumbling]

[Dame] What is your impetus,

Scar?

Is it those girls that suck you?

While you're busy

fingering the others?

Or is it Chief Fernandez

who allows you

to run his ill*gal ventures?

Which one is it?

I bet

he wants you to
drop some of them.

And if you don't, he
will drop you like a bat.

Huh?

[mumbles]

[in Pidgin] How do
you know all this?

Scar!

Oh, Scar.

[Dame sighs]

[Dame] I'd like to
share a story with you.

You see, when I
was a little girl,

I wanted to be a dancer.

I would watch Fela Anikulapo
and the Kalakuta queens.

The way they danced.

So sensual.

[shrieks]

And they were powerful women.

Their dance was
fantastic. [screams]

I wanted to be them.

But I didn't know their names.

Scar.

I wanted to be the women

whose names I didn't know.

All I wanted

was to smoke with them, pot.

And dance with them.

And f*ck them.

[soft chuckle]

But I didn't know their names!

All I want now

is for my name to be known.

And you're going to help me.

Yes?

Yes.

[chuckles] He said yes.

[squeals, laughs]

Chief Fernandez
wants to be governor.

He's my rival.

He's a very powerful man.

I concede.

But I am a very
dangerous woman, Scar.

I'll give you anything.

Whatever he promised
you, a turf in Eko.

I'll triple it, with extra.

[in Pidgin] Chief promised
me a lot of things in Eko.

I know.

[in Pidgin] A lot of things
were promised to me by Chief.

I know.

[breathing heavily]

[in Pidgin] What
did Chief do to you?

[ominous music playing]

[Chief Fernandez, in
Yoruba] Who is that?

Let me see your face.

Step into the light,
let me see your face.

[Chief Fernandez] Hmm.

[in Yoruba] How are you?

Oh, I see, you don't
understand Yoruba.

How are you?

[Shalewa] I am…

I'm fine, sir.

I can see that.

[in Yoruba] The
Yoruba people say,

"One problem serves as
the basis of a law."

Do you know what that means?

It means, "I know what to do

because it has happened before."

Do you want to know what
happened before, young lady?

[Chief Fernandez] Huh?

I'll tell you.

So, I had this
pleasurable night,

with an enthralling damsel.

Very beautiful woman.

I'm sure underneath
those clothes, you are…

even more beautiful.

But you are nothing,

nothing compared to this
woman I speak so fondly about.

She was like the sun.

Wrapped

with the prettiest of
clothes, like air itself.

[chuckles]

She took me to the
seventh heaven.

And I stayed there.

I stayed.

For hours. Huh?

And then…

Boom! She was gone.

But not with my heart, mind you.

She left with my valuables.

Loads of my valuables.

- Sir, please, I'm Femi's friend.
- I know.

[Shalewa breathing heavily]

One of his play things, right?

I need to be sure

that you are not one

of his thieving playthings.

Raise her hands up.

[breathing heavily]

I'm really sorry for
these intrusions.

I'll give your deep
regrets to my son,

for your exit.

[Shalewa panting]

[Dame] It's not about
what he did, but

about what he's going to do.

And, he's capable of it

if I don't take away his toys.

That information is
above your pay grade,

and above your mental
capacity to fathom.

Huh?

[in Pidgin] What do you
want me to do for you?

Bingo!

Oh, Scar, you're
an intelligent man.

See, you go right to business.

Okay.

I want Chief Fernandez.

I want you to bring him to me.

I'm sure you can think
of something, Scar.

Right?

Huh?

Great and Mighty Scar.

Mama…

[in Pidgin] I can't
just get you Chief.

- Chief's security detail is very tight.
- That's common knowledge.

Look Mama,

[in Pidgin] if I
can't bring you Chief…

[in Pidgin] You know
his useless son, Femi?

[in Pidgin] Me, Scar,
I'll bring him here.

I will bring him to you.

I swear.

Look at me, Scar.

Do I look like a fool?

If all it takes
was to kidnap Femi,

to get his father's attention,
what do I need this meeting for?

Huh?

Wait, is it that you don't
understand Chief Fernandez?

Or you just want to sit here and play
the game of dumb and dumber with me?

Chief will give up his
son in a heartbeat,

if it jeopardizes his political
ambition. Wake up, Scar.

He gave you up, did he not?

He gave you up at
the drop of a pant.

When he had a son, you
became the b*stard son.

He left you in Shanty
Town with your mother.

To rot in Shanty Town.

Wake up, Scar.
Wake up, goddammit.

And he's taking away the only
food you've got on the table.

You've got me all upset
and sweating for nothing.

You know what?

This was a bloody
waste of my time.

[Scar] Wait.

Wait.

[in Pidgin] Do you
want Chief's ring?

Ah.

Scar.

[laughing]

Awake.

Scar.

Now we're talking.

You know,

my girl said you were useless,

but,

I said, "No, he's quite useful."

And there you are,
proving me right.

What do you know
about Chief's ring?

[in Pidgin] Chief's ring…

Chief's ring is one of a kind.

There's none like it.

That ring is pure gold.

That ring,

and the blood of seven virgins,

and seven old women,

is what they use in washing
that ring in Ijesha every year.

Go on, Scar.

[in Pidgin] It is said that,

if you kiss that ring,

Chief will suck your soul.

If Chief wears that ring,

he'll be bulletproof.

He'll be bulletproof.
Nothing happens to Chief.

I tell you.

Do you believe in the
powers of this ring?

[in Pidgin] I might not be
able to bring you Chief,

but I'll bring the ring.

That ring will bring
Chief right here.

And when Chief gets here,

without protection,

we'll k*ll him.

Simple.

I swear, Mama.

[in Pidgin] As simple as that.

I swear.

You got yourself
a deal. [chuckles]

Scar!

[chuckling]

[sighs]

The keys to your handcuffs.

Release yourself.

Oh, by the way,
right by my plate,

is a set of keys

to your brand new car.

It's my girl's way
of saying sorry.

We trashed your car.

Oh, yeah, another apology… Um…

- [smacks lips]
- [hesitates, groans]

We k*lled your men.

Don't do that again.

It was nice doing
business with you, Scar.

Don't let me down,

or how do you say it,

you illiterates?

[in Pidgin] Don't
let me down, Scar.

[Dame laughing]

[Dame] Mister Scar.

[chuckling]

[coughs]

[chuckles]

- [sobbing]
- [knocking on door]

[sobbing continues]

[knocking continues]

[coughing]

[gasps]

[panting]

[clicks tongue]

[coughing]

[coughing, crying]

- [knocking grows louder]
- [sobbing]

[in Pidgin] Who is that?

[woman, in Pidgin] It is I.

[woman] Mommy T, should I leave?

[Mama Tornado] Who
is this person?

[Mama Tornado] Inem.

[Inem] Mommy T.

- Inem.
- Mommy T.

- Inem. Inem. Inem.
- Mommy T. Mommy T.

- [in Pidgin] Is this you?
- [in Pidgin] It's me, Mommy T.

- I was told you were dead.
- Dead, how?

I did not die, Mommy.

Am I going crazy?

They took me out of the
hood and put me in prison.

- I had to behave myself.
- Is this you?

- How did you do it?
- Same way you taught me.

- Hey.
- They let me go. Mommy, I am now free.

I am back in the hood.

Inem.

Living without you in this hood

hasn't been easy for me.

If not for that thing I have,

the one I inherited.

The one your late
mother gave you?

- Exactly.
- We all know it, Mommy T.

What would I have
done without it?

Do you remember advising me

to stop the covenant I
perform for the girls?

I stopped it.

I no longer do it.

But what I don't
understand is that

the girls are too weak to run.

Look at me,

I should be a role model.

My life is over.

What is left? I am done.

No one notices me,
I don't see anyone.

I am very lonely.

I stink.

I stink like a pig.

Mommy T.

Your daughter is here.

Inem is back in the hood.

I cannot be kicked
out of the hood.

Now that I am back, Mommy
T, I'll take care of you.

- Hold me.
- Mommy T, I have missed you.

[Mama Tornado
sobbing] Thank you.

- I can't leave you.
- Don't leave me again.

- I can't leave you.
- Don't leave me.

I won't leave you, I
promise. I am here with you.

[Scar] Inem.

[in Pidgin] Let
me clean my eyes.

I never thought I'd
ever see you again.

Pretty girl.

- Look at you.
- Let go of me.

What is it? What?

- What is wrong?
- Didn't you know where I was?

- Didn't you know?
- Why are you talking like that?

You know how this hustle is.

That's not a place Scar
can just show up to.

Ah.

Is this the lie you cooked up?

Do you know how many
years it was, Scar?

Scar, it was two years.

I didn't see you for two years.

- What rubbish are you telling me?
- What are you saying?

Didn't you get the
messages I sent?

- Did the warden not deliver my messages?
- What dirty message?

When was the last time
you wrote me a letter?

When?

- [in Pidgin] It's been a while.
- How long?

I said it's been a while.

- Why are you asking silly questions?
- It's not silly.

It's been two years.

Two years, do you understand me?

Seven hundred and thirty
days, and you didn't write me.

Do you understand me? And
two years is a long time.

So don't stand here
and tell me nonsense.

You are hot-tempered.

This issue is not that serious.

Relax!

You know I like you.

Huh?

[in Pidgin] You like who?

Please excuse me.

Who do you like? Is
your p*nis your problem?

You have a point.

My p*nis wants you,

and you want it.

But that's not what I'm
talking about, it's my heart.

My heart wants you.

My heart really wants you.

You know this.

I forgive you for all the
rubbish you just said.

[Scar] Uh huh.

I'll do something else for you.

What are you talking about?

I have some new big
boys on the Island now.

I'll introduce you to them.

Big boys.

[in Pidgin] You mean the old
Alhajis with pot bellies?

[in Pidgin] Shut up! I
mean big men, not Alhajis.

You have no idea what's
going on anymore.

Do you know Otedola?

Tell me, do you know Otedola?

You see?

Do you know Oba Elegushi?

Do you know E-Money?
Do you know Obi Cubana?

You don't know what's going on.

I'm talking about the
billion dollar g*ng.

What happened to your

bleached Lekki girls?

Why not give them the deal?

Why not use them?

Forget it, it's none
of your business.

It seems jail has made you dull.

Have you forgotten that
Scar runs the show?

I do whatever I want.

[exclaims]

If I bring you in, you
should take the deal.

I'll let you in on good deals.

In this case, I won't
take 60% from you.

Just 25%.

[scoffs]

f*ck you.

[gasps]

Do you hear me? f*ck you.

You must think I'm crazy. I was
only in jail, I didn't run mad.

For you to tell me this
rubbish, am I a fool?

Who are you talking to?
Telling me 25%. You?

You think I don't know
you. I know you too well.

Who are you trying to fool?

- [sucks tongue]
- [Scar chuckles]

You know me too well.

You know me.

You know me yet you came back.

The reason you came back, is
why I'm giving you this deal.

You know. Right?

We are from the street.

The street keeps
our blood flowing.

That is what you like.

You like the way we
control the streets.

Nobody can cross us,
that's what you like.

That's why you came back.

You can't lie to yourself.

You belong to the street.

Right?

We belong to the street.

Concerning what I just
told you, think about it.

If you're interested,

the girls will be ready soon.
Get dressed and go with them.

I have shown you the way.

But if you don't want it,

it's still on the table.

Welcome back.

I want to go and clean up.

[sighs]

[exhales]

I'm in.

[in Yoruba] Aren't you Scar?

Are you a fool?

Are you becoming soft?

[in Pidgin] I am Scar.

[in Pidgin] I am Scar.

[in Yoruba] Don't
dull, be smart.

[in Igbo] King of birds.

[in Igbo] No one
messes with a lion.

[in Yoruba] Your mothers!

What is wrong with all
of you? Respect yourself.

[speaking indistinctly in Igbo]

[in Pidgin] I am Scar.

[footsteps]

[in Pidgin] What
is wrong with you?

Huh?

Why did you barge
in like a thief?

Do you want to die?

Do you want me to k*ll you?

Why are you frowning?

What’s wrong?

Don’t come here with bad energy.

Isn’t Jackie's body enough?

[Ene, in Pidgin] You know
that's not why I’m here.

We've got an Inem problem.

[in Ibibio] Tell me…

[in Pidgin] what
will you do about it?

[in Pidgin] I don’t
understand you.

[in Pidgin] You have unresolved issues,
and it should have been settled.

When will you do it?

- I'll end it.
- How, Sir?

- When?
- [in Pidgin] Stop it.

Who are you? Are you telling
me how to run my business?

Me?

No.

[in Pidgin] I can't.

I was just wondering
when you'll handle it.

Is it when she has f*cked
all the politicians,

and collected your 25%,
that you'll wake up?

I know what will happen.

I'll start packing my
bags and prepare to leave.

After all, I'm
occupying her position.

Baby girl.

Baby girl.

[gasps]

Scar. [breathing heavily]

[groans]

[Scar] You know I enjoy you.

You know this.

[Ene panting]

You know me and
Inem have history,

but a lot has
happened since then.

You run the show now.

Don't get yourself worked up.

When will you take her out?

Why are you getting worked up?

It's Scar talking to you.

Look, I know what I'm doing.

Look, Inem is past tense.

She knows what's going on.

Your job is to make sure she goes to
the Island with the girls tonight.

That's the main thing.

It's auction night,
things will happen.

You already know.
