The creation of man ...
Divide and rule.
The system got us here.
Feed us like dogs
Kill us like dogs
This is our reality
There are key moments over the course of one's life
that shape who you are.
My first happened when I watched a man burn to death
I was only seven
My name is Ahana
And this is my story.
[Speaks local dialect]
This politician that stole the money, what would they do to him?
Chukwumebele. He goes to jail, that will be all.
[Speaks local dialect] He would bribe and pay them off.
Why can't they just take him to the streets and burn him alive?
God forbid.
Things are not that easy.
But why? People on the streets get burned for petty stealing
not to talk of these politicians.
In this country, only poor people go through this kind of Jungle justice we are talking about.
The rich people nothing happens to them.
I hated the fact that there were different consequences for breaking the law
depending on how much money you had in your bank account.
Well.
If rich people didn't have to play by the rules, why did I?
Where's Nze?
He's on the balcony smoking.
I really don't know why your parents let you guys do what you do.
I wish mine would chill
Be careful what you wish for.
At least you have your freedom.
Would you rather be free?
Or be loved?
Oh by the way
Your uncle is here to pick you up
My uncle?
Like I said
There are key moments that shape who you are.
This was my second.
The death of my father took it a toll on me.
Like I lost my bearings.
The other day, what did you say? What did you say to your husband?
husband?
What did you say?
[Speaks local dialect]
And just like that, my mother, my siblings, and my uncle left.
And life as I knew it was over.
Timi Philip of the True Nigerian Party (TNP) has emerged winner
as a governorship aspirant in the upcoming gubernatorial elections.
Timi Philip has promised to bring change to the state
leaving no stone unturned if he wins the election.
What's wrong? [Speaks local dialect]
[Speaks local dialect]
We've arrived at Lagos. You all should get down
Here's your bag.
Where's my bag?
It's in the trunk.
Lekki is 500 naira.
I have 1,000 naira with me.
Don't worry, I have change.
Please inform me when we get to the phase one roundabout.
No problem.
Gentleman. Can you do me a favor?
What's it?
Hand your phone to me.
Give it to me! Give it to him!
Don't try to take advantage of me.
Shut your mouth. Do what he says.
Give me your phone! Give him your phone.
Lagos. A no man's land.
[Indistinct chatter]
How are you doing, brother?
Come check this book out.
10 sure steps to making millions by Akin Aje. It will help you a lot.
Brother, you need money. Look at your condition.
I know. I've read the book.
Do you like it? Was it good?
Yes, it was.
That's perfect. Go ahead and buy it.
Brother, it looks like your choice of business is a bad one.
Nobody really patronizes you.
What's wrong with you? Are you mad?
This is a book. What's wrong with you?
Calm down.
I won't! I will deal with you.
Calm down. I was kidding you. Please don't worry. Calm down.
Look, I can help you with your business. I'm a good salesman.
I swear.
So why would you want to help me?
I need help too.
I just arrived from my village, but I got robbed by some bastards.
come from my village and i need
some stupid bastards rob me collect my wallet collect phone as i did like this
They took my wallet and phones. I don't have a dime with me.
I only need some cash to get to Lekki. Please.
But I will help you sell your books in no time.
Ahana.
Sell it then.
You claim to be the best salesman. Sell the books.
My next key moment was this.
It was the first time I'd ever truly done anything on my own.
It was my first lesson of survival.
10 sure steps to making millions by Akin Aje.
[Speaks local dialect]
So this was your plan all along?
[Speaks local dialect]
You killed him.
Jesus Christ.
[Speaking local dialect]
How do you even sleep at night, mother?
Amara.
Hi.
It's me, Ahana.
My brother!
Nzenozo.
[Speaks local dialect]
[Speaking local dialect]
He owes some very bad people five million naira.
And if he doesn't pay in two days,
he's dead.
Amarachi.
Please!
Even if I sell my own car.
The most that I will get is two million naira.
Amarachi.
[Speaking local dialect]
Do you think this is a game?
Smoke will kill you.
[Speaking local dialect]
I'm sorry.
In a nutshell, Nze got into a bunch of trouble and ended up getting expelled
after his third year of university.
That's when he started messing with smoke, a notorious drug dealer who we all
knew of.
What Nze didn't realize was who Smoke worked for, Ali Mahmoud.
One of the deadliest drug cattle bosses in Africa.
Where is my money?
My wife.
She was sick and I used the money to treat her.
Let me see your wedding ring.
Sir.
Bring it closer.
It's nice.
Sorry, sir.
Please, I am sorry.
[Speaking local dialect]
It's good to see you, brother.
[Speaking local dialect]
Jesus!
Shut up or I will kill you.
Where's the money?
In that drawer.
Quickly.
Where's the money?
Bring the money.
Do you think we're here to play?
What's this?
Like two to three million.
If you don't give me the money, I'm going to kill your wife.
There's money in the water There's money, there's money in the water Don't talk
There's money in the wardrobe. There's money there.
Shut up your mouth!
[Speaking local dialect]
Please don't hurt me.
What the fuck is this? Why do you have so much money in this house?
Why do you have so much money in this house?
[Speaking local dialect]
That's the only money I have in the house, I swear.
I swear.
Let's go.
[Speaking local dialect]
Please.
What the fuck are you doing?
you doing?
[Speaking local dialect]
I said it. I said you were going to grow into an armed robber. Can you see it now?
[Speaking local dialect]
Here.
Drink.
I killed her.
I killed her. I killed my mom.
Listen to me.
I wasn't there, but I know that it was a mistake.
[Speaking local dialect]
Where are you going?
I just need to clear my head.
am.
You need to clear my head.
[Speaking local dialect]
Cool.
[Speaking local dialect]
Nze. Nze. That night was my decision.
My decision. Leave it to me.
Where are you going to? If you carry the burden of what happened, it may bury you.
It's just maybe karma.
Karma?
Karma is not when you kill your mother with your own hands.
That's a curse.
Stepping into my father's bakery was nostalgic.
He started baking in his kitchen
and eventually grew into owning his own bakery.
Okolo and sons.
My daddy, come on, come on, come on, come on.
[Indistinc chatter]
How are you?
How're you doing?
[Speaking local dialect]
You have to go with your hands.
[Indistinct chatter]
No.
Okay?
My daddy.
Do you like it?
Yes.
Good.
I love you, Ahana.
No. No. No.
[Speaking local dialect]
I'm going to eat my own.
Mama.
[Speaking local dialect]
That night was the night I decided to stop blaming myself.
I lost my father and mother. What else is there to live for? The world is a brutal
place to live.
The leaders use the common man for their selfish gain. The politics of this
world
made things hard. The rich gets richer and the
poor, poorer. I was going to live life on my own terms
and let the chips fall where they may.
You've been gone for a week. Are you sure you know what you're saying?
Yeah, Ahana. [Speaking local dialect]. Are you okay?
I make five million in a night.
Guys.
What I'm proposing is about strategy.
[Speaking local dialect]
We're smart. Look, they will never see us coming.
[Speaking local dialect]
I'm tired. I'm sick and tired of this country dictating to me who becomes rich
and who stays poor. I'm done. F that. You know, my grandmother
would always say, if you want something out of life.
You take it.
[Speaking local dialect]
Fuck it. I mean.
Wait, wait, please, please help me
understand. So you're saying you want us to be professional thieves like armed
robbers?
Look Amarachi. Get on the same page with us.
Are you guys understanding the consequences of what may happen
if this goes wrong?
It won't.
Like last time?
Last time was an act of impulse.
Okay.
Guys, what I'm proposing this time is organized, intelligent heists with zero
bloodshed. It's all about what we have here.
[Speaking local dialect]
That's all.
Come on, Amara.
Amara, you have it, you're intelligent, you're smart. You can do this.
[Speaking local dialect]
Nze. Now I know that you are my older brother, but let's be truthful,
please. I've been taking care of you all these years. I've been taking a lot of
your shit. Me. So don't pull that little sister card on
me.
That's it!
So guys, we target, we plan, we
execute. We need more people,
though. Two or three people with specific skill sets that will give us advantage
over the police. And access to weapons.
Weapons? No, no, no, no. Wait, you said that.
No, no, no. Just precautionary. We can't go in without them, but we promise
ourselves we never use them. Nothing more.
Ahana.
Yes?
Do you remember Egbe?
Which Egbe? The one from secondary school.
The fat kid in school.
My brother, Egbe is a changed person now. He's an ex-military?
You don't mean it.
[Speaking local dialect]
What did you call your team more deliver?
[Speaking local dialect]
I need to go to the money, I need to go to the money.
Egbe! You don't mean it.
Ahana!
Ahana. Ahana.
[Speaking local dialect]
My brother. Look, I'm now a store keeper.
It's so good to see you guys.
Egbe. That's enough.
Guy, you never changed.
I'm a man of consistency.
But Egbe
[Speaking local dialect]
And I have new born baby.
It's fine.
[Speaking local dialect]
You don't understand.
Ahana. I saved the lives
of hundreds of soldiers in an ambush by the insurgents by fighting our way into
Cameroon. What was my reward? Court-martial and a dismissal
after after four years of service.
I can't provide for my family.
I can't even look my wife in her face
[Speaking local dialect]
court
[Speaking local dialect]
And that's how we recruited Egbe.
Okay.
Just another young man
the system has screwed over.
Our fourth recruit was Sango. A 17 year old genius wasting away in computer
village on small yahoo yahoo jobs.
So do you want to just access to his old text
messages or you want access to his incoming text as well?
Done.
Okay. Send me a text, let me see if she gets it.
Done.
Whoa whoa whoa you can deactivate that right?
What do you guys think?
Definitely needs touch up
[Speaking local dialect]
Bro, you know there's an app that can make you quit smoking in like three days,
right?
And why the fuck would I want to do that?
Where is this mystery guy you've been talking about?
He'll be here any moment.
Turns out bala and i were very much alike. Life had
dealt him a hard hand losing his parents early. He used his smarts to go into
street hustle.
I won't forget this favour.
We were instant friends.
How're you doing?
You just came into town and fit in.
You told me to be smart.
That's right.
My guys.
What sup? My name is Bala. B-A-L-A.
But my friends call me bala bala bala bala bala.
Whatsup?
I'm good. How about you?
I'm sango.
This little kid answers to such a powerful name.
Small but mighty.
God of thunder.
Internet thunder.
Give it to them. Sango.
Egbe.
Egbe. This guy looks a like bouncer.
Egbe means gun in your language, right?
That's right. A single shot with seven bullets.
Amara.
Hi.
hey
My friend, Nze. Nzenozo.
So. Okay, you all better start getting used to your faces because you're going
to be spending a lot of time with each other.
Do we have a name?
What kind of question is that?
He's actually right.
I was thinking of the Armadas.
Wait, like the car?
No like the fleet of warships.
Wait. Wait. This is the moment I have been waiting for.
What's that?
Once we drink this, we become family.
To the armadas.
Hey! Who's in here? Who's in here?
Get down! Are you all mad?
I said get down.
Why didn't you do this to yourself?
Powder looks good on you.
Get down, everybody.
Where's the money?
It was too easy.
After that, there was no stopping.
that
You don't know me. I can buy you Paris, and I will also buy you Dubai.
Good day, sir.
How are you?
Daddy. School fees.
You don't mean it.
In a month, we had made so much money
we had to get a counting machine.
Boys lift yourselves off this lift now.
And Amara became our official accountant.
Can I have your number?
Let me think.
Of course. Let me put it in for you.
Why are you laughing?
You don't know anything about romance.
See, I just have a weird feeling about this.
I don't think this is going to end well.
There's no thing about ending.
This is just the
beginning.
The gubernatorial aspirant of Truth Nigerian Party, Timi Phillips
and his foundation of agriculture, health, and education
has continued to support the sectors across Nigeria.
[Speaking local dialect]
Laptops across Lagos State.
Timi Philips has promised
[Speaking local dialect]
to support the educational system without hesitation.
Give my regards to the boss. Just tell him everything is sorted.
Can you imagine? Such is life.
Timi Phillips is going to become a governor.
Glory be to god.
You can never rely on this country when it comes to power supply.
Yakub. Put on the power generator
Mad fellow.
This country and power supply, it's crazy.
What's going on here?
Where's the money for the election?
What is he talking about?
The money is there.
There's no need for you to slap me back and forth.
These are things of the world. We shall all die.
Here's the money. Have it.
Who the hell is that? I've been shot.
Don't fret boss. We would get them.
You all should surrender yourselves.
Nze. Calm down. Whatever happens, we are making it out of here alive.
Do not shoot.
They shot our brother.
It doesn't even matter. Do not shoot. Nobody shoots.
Sorry.
We do not shoot.
Let's go.
Snake. Let's go.
Can't you pick up the call?
Easy.
Get me alcohol.
What happened?
Shit. Sorry. Guys, what happened?
They want me dead, but that's not happening anytime soon. I'm an immortal.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Just shut up.
It's just a flesh wound.
Take. I hate the sight of blood.
Bala.
[Speaking local dialect]
Do you hear me?
I saved our fucking lives.
You're getting out of control, we agreed no bloodshed.
Ahana.
[Speaking local dialect]
These guys were on us. They had guns.
It doesn't change anything. Well, we would have still gotten out of there
Without shooting anyone, we are not killers.
[Speaking local dialect]
We would be what we need to be. Okay?
Now, until you realize that you will get us fucking killed
acting like a fucking bitch.
Nze, relax. You guys need to calm down.
Don't ever lay your hands on my sister again.
Do you think I'm deaf? Do you think I'm dumb?
baby
Nze, come on. Nze Calm down.
What is it? Everybody is calling out my name.
Everybody wants a piece of Nze? What about Snake?
He pulled the fucking trigger that killed his fucking mother.
Nze. Stop.
[Speaking local dialect]
You are mad.
You fucking said that to me?
I will kill you.
Egbe leave me alone.
This fucking drug you're doing will be the death of you.
No.
[Speaking local dialect]
I love you, brother.
Who the fuck has my cigarette?
This is News Hour. I'm Ronke Adeniyi.
An officer was reported shot dead after the Truth Nigeria Party, TNP
Gubernatorial aspirant Timi Phillips had a close shave with assailant
allegedly recognized as the Armadas.
The director of IRT has reassured the citizens of this great nation
that the police will not rest until the criminals are brought to justice.
The Federal government...
The Timi Phillips's heist left a bad feeling in the air.
We all had to lay low, especially because Nze was out of control and the
police were on our necks. I personally needed to reevaluate and rethink if this
whole thing was worth it anymore.
Hey. What's the capital of Ireland?
What's that?
Dublin.
Correct.
I'm willing to bet one hundred thousand that I'd put the ball in this pocket.
Pounds or dollars?
Anyone he prefers.
I will add fifty thousand to it. I want you to whoop his ass today.
Get out of this place.
surprise
[Indistinct chatter]
Armadas.
I have a surprise for us.
What's that?
I hate surprises.
[Indistinct chatter]
Yes. It's your boy.
[Speaking local dialect]
Beautiful!
Where are the girls? Let's go guys.
I don't think I can do this.
What? Developing cold feet now?
Let's go!
Hi.
I'm Boma George. Nice to meet you.
Are you the Boma George?
Yes. Thank you for the invite.
You're welcome.
You seem to me like you like the life of glamour and freedom.
I do.
You know what, I have a few
friends I'd like to introduce you to.
I'd love that.
Cool. Cheers.
Cheers.
Nzenozo. Nzenozo.
[Speaks local dialect]
You were the one who got married earlier.
[Speaks local dialect]
We miss you.
We miss you, brother.
You are supposed to be here with us.
He married very early.
I want to speak with Egbe.
Shut up.
We'd have fun with you, too.
Poor guy. I really wish he could make it though.
I know right...
Hey. I would have owned that bet.
[Indistinct chatter]
Guys. You know what they say
twenty guys can't be friends for twenty years.
Wait. What do you mean?
I think we've had a really good run
as the armadas
as the Armadass
as a family.
Ahhana
Ahana. You changed our lives in the man, I'm greateful.
I love you brother.
Speaks local dialect?
Guys.
This is serious.
Please don't fall off.
Armadas.
And now, I decided it was time to give some of this money to the people
who actually need it.
The poor
and the oppressed
May God bless the Armadas. I'm so grateful.
Well, there you have it. The residence
of the Jakande community can very well thank the self-proclaimed gang,
the armadas. who many people have said have shown up so many times more
than the elected officials.
I just got a call from the president.
He must be concerned about...
Concerned?
The man is traumatized. He's asking if we should declare a state of
emergency. Do you know what that means?
To me. To us.
I do, sir.
No, you don't.
Now listen, Ngozi. You are one of the most decorated officers in
the Nigerian Police history. You got there not just because you are damn good at
what you do but because people like me made sure that you were properly
acknowledged. We may be family, but if those armadas or whatever they call
themselves are not brought to justice and made scapegoats of.
Everything you ever worked for will go down the drain,
and I'll be nowhere to save you.
Family or no family.
Flaunting our newfound wealth in a popular night club was a bad idea.
but we had been under the radar so long, Nze was getting restless. Nze
wasn't the kind of guy who enjoyed being under the radar. Sango's 18th birthday
was his excuse, and he promised it would be low-key.
And just like that, we went
from invisible nobodies to invisible threats in seconds.
I need more. More names.
Snake. One of them was snake as in snake.
Ever heard of anyone by that name?
No boss, but I will find out.
I need all hands on deck.
Tell your boys who are going hunting.
Copy that.
The other day, I saw Nzenozo at the club with some people
who I've never seen before.
spray
They were spraying money like they just robbed a bank.
It seems he hangs with the guy called Snake.
and this Snake guy is a member of the armadas.
Are they the ones flaunting money around?
I swear.
They've robbed the wrong person.
We can find them and capture them from wherever they are, boss.
That won't be difficult. We will capture Nze,
and make him spill information about others.
Someone have to hide like a snake in a bush while hunting a snake.
And then...
You all should get back to work.
always
Guys. Check me out.
See, I'm always going to be a fresh guy. But this is freshness 2 .0.
Magazine cover shit.
Where have you gotten this guy from? He's bouncing around like a balloon.
[Indistinct chatter]
Babe. Has your bust size changed since the baby? What is it again?
[Indistinct chatter]
You look like a perfect gentleman.
You know, you should get that.
I'll get this one.
Nze.
Oh, you're a lucky girl.
That's my little sister.
Nzenozo.
Lady Maimouna Tafo. And welcome to my couture place.

Cheers.
Please enjoy the rest of the evening. The party's only just beginning.
I hope you guys are having fun.
[Indistinct chatter]
Hey.
Let's get out of here.
I can't leave my own party.
Says who?
Why did you invite me then?
Didn't I say don't ask questions that you know where to get the answers for?
Where are your friends, huh?
They're around.
Come on, go have fun. The night is just beginning. I'll see you later. Okay?
Okay.
[Indistinct chatter]
Jesus Christ!
Ike. I could have...
Good evening ma.
Where have you been?
You really shouldn't be showing up like this, you know.
I can't risk being seen.
I know.
The Timmy Phillips' attack.
Unfortunately, we lost two of our men.
Was Mahmood involved?
The money that the Amardas stole belonged to Ali Mahmood.
He was funding Timmy Phillips' campaign.
Of course he was.
A bounty's out on the
Armada's head and two names have been mentioned.
A guy named Snake and Nze Okoli.
Nze is in our system from the 312
case about stolen drugs.
Okay, so What do you need?
Any intel on Nze that can lead to the Armadas.
According to Smoke, anyone who gets to this Snake guy
gains direct access to Ali Mahmood.
Ike.
For so many years, I have tried to bring Ali Mahmood to book.
No one has been able to catch him.
Maybe because of his Political backing.
If you can get strong evidence against him.
And you will be the one to nail him.
We're close.
I can feel that.
You this Bad boy.
Jesus! Don't be mad, boss.
We ransacked Nze's house, but we couldn't find him.
We found this picture of him.
Oyin said he knows this guy with him, that his name is Egbe.
Egbe sometimes supplies us with weapons.
Say something.
It's not that deep.
Boss. I knew the guy in the hood.
But the words on the street have it that he has moved to an affluent neighborhood.
Boss. I swear to God, they seem to have made lot of money.
There you have it. The Idiok mask. Our history, our culture long stolen almost
forgotten. Worth 6 million dollars.
The colonialism of it all.
See. This is why the black man isn't prosperous in life.
See. They've stolen our culture.
They want to steal our riches.
They want to steal our lands.
So fuck all these bitches.
Indistinct chatter]
Woah. This is a lot.
How did you get all these information?
I always have my ways.
You like?
I love it so much.
Get to work.
Yes
Perfect
Isn't she beautiful?
Yes.
She is beautiful.
Hey. Guy.
You have yet to see an handsome man.
You have started.
Yes.
Do you want to give it to Egbe?
It seems you want to polish his jaw with it.
Well guy, try this thing out so you can get a babe. I'm trying to help you.
I'll make your jaws look fresh.
Bread and butter.
You'll look fresh.
Bread and butter.
You're only good with guns. You know nothing about women affairs.
It has made your beards look good.
My brother, this is a nice beard.
Where's Amara?
I left her at home. She was acting funny.
And I think she's feeling ill or so.
I don't know
You left her at home.
Nze, she's your younger sister.
You're high again.
Guys, head to the venue. I'll come behind you.
Do you want to use this, Egbe?
For what?
To make your beards look good.
Don't try that.
I feel like shit.
I've been throwing up all morning.
Sorry.
I don't think I can make it.
It's fine.
And I just...
I just want you to rest.
Okay?
[Speaks local dialect]
I guarantee you
this will be a success and you will get your share.
Make sure you... You take care of Nze.
The drugs.
I know.
He's your brother.
Do you promise that you will take care of him?
I promise.
Get well soon.
Ahana. I love you.
[Indistinct chatter]
Forgive me. I'm so sorry.
There's nothing to be apologetic about Mr. Ahana Okoro.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
I'm sorry, have we met?
Well, not in the physical that I can tell you. My name is Richard.
Richard Williams.
Now, you can say I'm an admirer of all you're doings.
In the dark.
Look, I can tell you have what it takes to be a part of the six.
The six?
Yes.
I think you must be mistaking me for someone else.
Excuse me.
Thank you.
Nothing like a single malt whiskey.
Look, Ahana OKolo. You have to be very careful tonight.
You see, we have great plans for you
and it'll be so disheartening for me to find your kind of personality with such
intelligence and brilliance just get washed away.
Unexpectedly.
Here's my card.
I'll make you an offer you cannot refuse.
Jesus Christ.
Why did you creep on me like that?
Are you okay?
Yeah. I'm fine.
I think I'm seeing things.
Okay.
Let's go.
To commemorate the African history day,
our host Lady Maimouna Atafo has teamed up with Sarah to bring us this fundraiser.
The money realized will be used to build a befitting and secure art gallery. So
that when our art returns to its original home
it will be safe and secure. Without further ado, I would like to appreciate the
16th century Benin sculpture of the Queen Mother Idia Of the Benin Empire.
Created using the low wax casting technique. The sculpture features an ultra
realistic high point crown with acute artistic symmetry.
I want to say thank you all for your generous donations tonight.
And guess what?
After the event, you can make even more donations.
Thank you so much.
Please go on and enjoy the rest of the evening.
[Speaks local dialect]
Fuck! We did it.
Bala. Bala. Bala.
Bala kept speaking erudite English.
Preposterous.
Precarious.
What kind of tantrum behavior is this?
Don't you have eyes? Can you not see?
Imagine this Queen Idia...
[Speaks local dialect]
Wait. What happened?
So guys.
I need you guys to head back to base. I'm going to drop it off.
That's not the plan. What the fuck?
[Speaks local dialect]
Change of plans.
I'm going to make the exchange. We can't take this back. It's too risky.
Didn't you tell them about us?
Didn't you tell them about the Armadas?
[Speaks local dialect]
Tell them about the Armadas. Tell them what about the Armadas?
Please give me that stuff, Bala.
Ahana.
[Speaks local dialect]
Ahana.
[Speaks local dialect]
I need you to go back to base with them.
Why?
What do you mean by asking me that?
Why are you challenging me this way?
Do you know where to get the money?
[Speaks local dialect]
Do you have a buyer?
Nze.
[Speaks local dialect]
Do you have someone to buy it?
I didn't think so.
Guys back to base.
Await your pay.
Egbe, come drive this car. I'm going with the truck.
Nice one.
My thoughts were going a mile a minute.
And there was no time to think. Just act.
I have it at the drop-off you told me.
I should leave it here.
With my truck
The money?
Yes!
I couldn't tell the crew
about Hadoukou's involvement. She was our insider.
Where is your husband?
I don't know. Please. Please don't hurt my baby. Please don't hurt my baby.
I think tribal marks will look good on this baby.
Three marks on each side of her face.
It could give her character.
Please.
Tell us your husband's whereabout.
It's a bakery.
48. Sanni's road. Please don't hurt my baby.
You're lucky
I'm not a violent man. Thank your stars.
Kill her.
Boss, she has given us the information we needed.
Let's just go after the husband.
Really?
Yes.
No problem.
Let's go.
The next time you disobey me,
You'll be the next.
Can you see the time? Ahana is yet to call me.
Guy, you worry a lot. He will definitely call.
I don't want to hear that...
I trust him. Nothing will go wrong.
The eagles have landed.
All of them?
Eyes on three.
Good. let me know when I can make my grand appearance.
Copy that.
Sango!
His line is saying switched off. Look, He'll contact us when he's done.
His line is saying switched off...
Are you guys foolish?
Six million dollars and nothing to show for it.
I now know for sure that you are a very selfish person.
Do you have any idea of what he might be going through?
Calm down. It's Ahana.
Bullshit.
The Snake that I know of.
Do you know him as much as I do?
Snake shot his mother.
Nze, stop talking like that.
[Speaks local dialect]
Am I lying?
[Speaks local dialect]
Snake plan to fuck us over.
Snake planned all this.
You. You. Me.
What exactly is wrong with you?
The cocoa you sniff fuck with your mind, right?
What the hell is wrong with you?
Don't you trust him anymore.
I'm talking to you.
Calm the fuck down. What's wrong with you?
Bala, cool down.
Bala cool down
Guy. Have you lost your mind?
Bala. Cool down. You people are making things difficult.
Do I look like your babe?
[Speaks local dialect]
you, boy
Guy, warn your friend.
Warn him?
Guys... How much did you got?
Two million dollars.
[Indistinct chatter]
Guys. Guys. Guys.
Nzenozo.
Where is Snake?
No sight of Mahmood yet.
Stay in position until you are sure Mahmood is in the building.
Copy.
Did Ahana put you up to this?
Nze, shut up.
Egbe.
Take it easy.
Do you want to join your wife in the afterlife?
What're you talking about?
What did you do to my wife?
I swear to God, if you touch her...
I Killed her.
One bullet
It was quick, I promise.
Now where is snake?
He's not here.
Where the fuck is he?
Are you deaf? I told you he's not here...
Are you mad?
These scallywags owe my boss one million dollars.
I guess you all have no idea of who I am.
Nze, did you not tell them who I am?
Boss.
He's not here.
Okay.
Roger that.
But you.
do the honors.
Is the boss not coming anymore?
Plans have changed.
Now do the fuck work we came here to do.
Please. Please, don't kill me. Please, don't kill me. Please.
Please,
Shot fired.
Move in now.
[Indistinct chatter]
This was my idea.
My plan.
I should have been the one there.
But I guess that's the way the goodies crumbles.
CP Ngozi Maduko in her speech convinced the public that the capture of the
Armadas will restore peace and order in the state.
They are presently in the custody of the Police awaiting trial.
I kept waiting for my sins to catch up with me.
But nothing happened.
You can hold your breath underwater for only so long.
please
Until you either drown
or come out for air.
[Speaks local dialect]
You like it, yeah?
It's lovely.
Yeah?
We should frame this one.
Thank you baby.
Can I paint your face now?
No
Why?
You like it, too.
I'll paint yours.
The art department of the Ebonyi State University will
be revamped thanks to an initiative by former art curator, Adugo Okolo. After the
international art scandal that rocked the world, this alumnus of the Ebonyi State
University will be putting our expertise into wonderful use.
Here she is.
And who might you be?
I'm the girl who's going to bring you Snake's head on a platter.
And what do you want in return for Snake?
I didn't know they have a light version of this.
I should keep that in mind, you know for my blood sugar.
Stay
away from my wife.
I don't believe we've met. I am Ali Mahmood.
Oh
I see you are a chess man.
We should play sometime.
I've come to make you an offer.
I want nothing from you.
But you haven't even heard my proposal.
I'm giving you a chance of redemption.
What does that even mean?
Your three friends, The Almighty Armadas.
Remember them?
The ones you left to rot and die in jail.
This is a chance to set them free.
How?
I've got connections.
I could make a few phone calls and
they'll be out of jail.
What will you have me do?
The last heist.
I set the mark, you pay me what you're
owing me with interest, of course.
And then you and your friends can walk.
I can't trust you
You can't. You see, I may have made this proposal like a request.
But on the alternative.
You see, this young man here
will take your wife upstairs,
have his way with her, and then
put a bullet in your son's head.
Checkmate.
I'll do it.
That's Nedu and Chimamanda.
[Speaks local dialect]
Snake's blood runs in their veins.
They are his.
Why don't you let me see you?
I've been dead for five years.
[Speaks local dialect]
You brought me out.
Thank you.
Snake of all Snakes.
Welcome to your new office.
Hello, there's no time to bull shit.
Do you understand?
My family.
Where are they?
In similar condition.
Everything you need to know about the bank job is in that folder.
When you figure out a plan, you tell my boys, and we move.
First of all, I don't do bank heist, it's too risky.
Second of all, there's no way I can pull this off by myself.
Who said you'll be doing the job by yourself?
All we need is that snake brain of yours.
yours
If anything happens to my wife and son, I swear to God...
There is no God.
If you mess up, their blood is on your head.
There was no time to feel sorry for myself.
I knew I couldn't trust Mahmood
but my family was on the line,
my brothers included.
I need chalk.
I knew City Bank well.
Despite being a small bank, on the third Fridays of each month
City Bank hands out civil servants' pay slips.
You would never think it,
but on these days, this small sleepy Surulere bank has over 200 million naira
passed through it.
The more I looked at the information,
the more scared I got.
Tell Mahmood I'm ready.
I've always wondered
what a PhD in stealing looks like.
I have a question
the person who got you this intel,
does he work with the bank?
Something like that.
Can he get the weapons into the premises?
What makes you think it's a he?
He or she.
Does the person
have the kind of daily access to get our weapons in before we show up?
Something like that.
It's a yes or no answer.
If your answers are no, this plan is useless.
Yes.
Great.
What's going on?
Come on, I thought there was going to be some emotions. You know.
Hugs, kisses, no?
I didn't plan for any of this to happen.
I got the money.
I shared equally.
So that's why they found you in your dream home
on a farm
with your wife.
Who just happens to be the curator of the gallery.
Ahana, did you think people that surround you are stupid?
I'm sorry.
You're sorry.
You left me to rot in jail for five years.
And you say you're sorry.
For five years, you took away my freedom.
You put your snakes in my baby sister's belly.
You got Amarachi pregnant.
You got my baby sister pregnant.
Was Amara pregnant?
Okay. Okay. Nze.
It's okay. It's okay. We've got work to do.
Settle your grievances later.
Does anybody else have bad bellows to off his chest?
when this
is all over, I will paint the streets with your blood.
Wonderful. Wonderful. At least you got it off your chest.
Snake.
As you have your plan, so I have mine. Four of you will do this job.
And if you fuck me up,
This man here
spider has instruction to kill your wife and your son.
Boys, we've got work to do.
Go and prepare.
Nze, when you get into the bank you are in charge.
And if he does anything wrong,
feel free to revisit your grievances.
Once you have the cash,
call this number. We'll be out in front ready to
shoot anybody and any motherfucker that tries to stop you people from getting away.
Let's go.
Wait guys. we haven't even run through the plan yet.
Snake. It kills you not to be in charge.
This is not about being in charge.
Common sense we need to run through the plan.
Mahmood told us your plan.
We get there
looking like civil servants who has come to get their pension.
Our tools are in the toilet.
We find the money and collect it.
And kill anybody who tries to stop us.
Kill?
No. Killing is not part of the plan.
Yeah.
That was my part of the plan.
They're going to kill us.
Once we hand over the money, we're dead.
Fucking Snake.
Don't be stupid, Nze. Trust me.
He killed my wife in front of my daughter. I think we all know what he's capable of.
I'm so sorry, Egbe. I didn't know that.
Despite my wife and kid. I'm so sorry
I'm sorry.
Excuse me, please. Where's the toilet?
Thank you.
Everybody get down.
Down!
Down all of you!
If you touch that money, I'll shoot your legs out.
Where's the manager?
Manager!
Where's the manager?
Where do you keep the money?
Upstairs.
Let's go.
Downstairs where my eyes will be on you.
There's over 200 million upstairs and
there's no way Bala can get it down by himself. Egbe is the best man for this place
so you either go or I go.
Smoke's boys are at the entrance and exit.
Any snake business, you're dead.
Let's go.
Get this thing open.
Open it.
Bala.
What's the problem, Ahana?
What is it?
I'm so sorry.
I didn't know.
Did you take care of my family when I was in jail?
Of course I did. I sent money to them every single month.
I swear to you, brother.
Open this thing.
Why should I trust you?
Five years. Why should I trust you?
You always trust me. You know.
I didn't know you guys were going to be here today.
There's something I need to tell you.
You really are a mastermind.
Do you know me?
I grew up wanting to be like you.
Would you like to work with me?
I said open this door.
Open the door. Do not waste our time.
Sit down there.
What the fuck.
I don't know, boss. But something crazy
is happening. It's like they know what's happening in the bank.
It's them. They're back.
Excuse me.
It's them. The Armadas.
Why would they let the public in on an active robbery?
I'm going to figure that out.
What's wrong with you?
Leave the way.
Nze, what are you doing? Stand down.
What the fuck is going on outside?
[Speaks local dialect]
Oh my God.
Who wants to play the hero?
[Indistinct chatter]
Let's go.
Please don't kill us.
Egbe.
Once you get out, there's a crowd out there. Spray them.
Let's go.
The crowd was bigger than I could ever imagine.
It was like a protest
the kind that swell and spill
overflowing
the streets with chaos.
This was my escape plan.
I just needed to get a message to the right person.
Snake.
And once the opportunity presented itself,
Snake.
I took it.
Sparrow to control,
control how do you read?
Loud and clear, sparrow.
Snake
Get out of the way. Snake.
Overhead the scene of the bank robbery incident has brought to...
The rapid response squad and the team of mobile police men have condoned
of the entire area.
[Speaks local dialect]
I thought watching my mother die was the worst thing that
could ever happen to me.
Until I watched my brother die.
Amara.
Sister.
Put the gun down.
Please.
I didn't know you were pregnant.
I only just found out this morning. Nze told me this morning. I swear to God.
Put the gun down.
Ahana.
Adaugo.
[Speaks local dialect]
Please. Please don't shoot. Please don't kill him. Please.
I loved him too.
Amara, Nze was my brother you know.
I'm sorry.
Mom. Mom.
Guess what I won.
Just keep playing, okay?
Keep playing. We'll be with you shortly. We love you.
You have a child?
Which do you prefer?
Freedom or love?
Love.
Wrong answer.
I love you.
God why?
There are key moment in one's life
that shaped the core of who you are.
Who you become.
This would be my son's first.
His first memory.
