Coming from Insanity (2019) - full transcript
In the mid-nineties, a 12 year-old boy (KOSSI) with genius-level intelligence, is one of many children trafficked through the Nigerian borders from Togo. He ends up with the MARTINS, an ...

Turn off your engine!
Where are you coming from?
From the factory down
the road there, sir.
OFFICER #1:
Down where?
Dacula.
The rubber factory, officer.
OFFICER #1:
What is there?
There's nothing, really.
Just rubber blocks, officer.
OFFICER #1:
You say what?
Rubber blocks!
OFFICER #1: Come
down from the motor.
But I just told you,
it's rubber blocks!
OFFICER #1: I said,
come down from the motor.
- Oya, take him there!
- It's rubber blocks, officer.
There's nothing there.
[Crickets chirping]
OFFICER #2:
Open it!
[Metal rattling]
OFFICER #2:
Open!
[Squeaking]
KOSSI: (Narrating) The world is
designed to protect children.
We are the last
pure entity left.
- [Phone ringing]
- Sorry, sorry, my phone.
Hello.
Yes.
Yes.
[Inaudible chatter]
[Sighs]
KOSSI: (Narrating) But when
you are from Gbangbale, Togo...
no one gives a flying,
running, crawling fuck.
'Cause even parents sell
their children away
for a few meals around here.
Our generation
was supposed to stay nothing.
[♪♪♪]
KOSSI: (Narrating) I was sold
to this house, maybe rent...
but master did not want me here.
There's a civil war going on
where that boy just came from.
Uh-huh?
I'll say we're doing his family
a huge favor by taking him in.
The boy is from Togo!
The only civil war going on
in Togo right now darling,
is in your head!
[Laughs]
- But honey...
- No, honey.
Let the boy go back
to where he came from.
And that's final.
Final?
I'm sorry,
I didn't quite catch that.
I brought that boy
into this house
for one reason...
to keep this house clean.
If his family wanted him around,
I'm sure that's
where he would be.
So stop trying to save
the world,
and mind your own business.
Well, um... my house,
so it is kind of my business,
no?
MRS. MARTINS:
Correction!
This is OUR house!
May I suggest, you send in
your notice at work...
learn how to cook and clean
- [Laughs]
- It's called house husbanding!
- Ridiculous!
- Yes!
It's not such a taboo anymore...
darling!
Thanks, honey!
KOSSI: (Narrating)
She is the real master.
So, I stay.
There was this bully
from Japan
that her brother
cannot protect her from.
I promised that
I will destroy this bully,
so she became my best friend.
Her name is Oyin.
And on the other hand...
[Rattling]
KOSSI: (Narrating)
His name...
is Bastard.
GAME VOICE:
Japan!
- [Gaming voices]
- [Keys tapping]
GAME VOICE:
You lose!
GAME VOICE:
Round 1, fight!
[Gaming voices]
KOSSI: (Narrating) I forgot to
mention that I used to play this game
with the missionaries
back in Gbangbale.
GAME VOICE: You win! Perfect!
GAME VOICE:
Round 2, fight!
KOSSI: (Narrating)
It was after this game...
master sir told me that
my mother died.
Oyin helped me plan
my escape.
I have to go and save
my mother's fish.
[♪♪♪]
KOSSI: (Narrating)
So...
I stayed.
15 years!
I read somewhere that
you should never trust a man...
Even if that man is your fiancé?
Kossi please, I don't want to
talk about this anymore.
Look!
This is why you want to leave.
- What will I do?
- Plenty!
All you have to do is sort out
Femi's big head...
and you'll have time
to spend with Emma
Kachi and Muhtar
and oh!
Maybe you can finally
start dating that secret girl
you've refused to tell me about.
I cannot be with her now.
Why not?
See, the things men
should know about women...
men don't have the time to learn
And if they have the time,
they definitely
don't have the money.
So, where does
that leave someone like me?
Kossi!
The things that
come out of your mouth...
amazing.
[Phone ringing]
[Grunts]
- KOSSI: It's Kossi!
- Fuck! Come in!
- You called me.
- I fucking know that.
Wash the stain off that.
Put some towels by the pool.
Hello.
[Sighs]
My name is Kossi.
Okay?
Do you want something to drink?
FEMI:
Hey!
Will you get the fuck away
from there!
You crazy?
KOSSI: (Narrating)
Emmanuel is from my village...
he always dress nice,
even in his uniform.
His master,
the professor likes him
like the son he never had.
He even taught him
how to speak like him.
[Chuckles]
You know that sometimes
where you live...
determines if you live.
There was no hope for us
in Gbangbale!
And this is hope?
Tell me, Emma.
Show me.
I should have done
everything for them
not to bring me
into this country...
I should have held onto a knife
I Should have fought.
I shouldn't have done nothing!
You're acting as if
this is the end of the world.
This is not
the end of the world.
Even the end of the world
is not the end of the world!
Emma, but it could be
the end of me!
Well, you're here now...
and you're a man.
So, what are you
going to do about it?
Everything!
Like what?
Leave?
Go back to Togo?
What?!
What the fuck is wrong
with you, Emma?
Huh?!
Togo?!
See, the only way
I'm going back...
is in a private jet
and a baggage full of money!
So, bye bye Togo.
I cannot stay another day
as a slave to that shithead!
It is time.
And first thing
tomorrow morning
I'm leaving that house
for good...
My real life starts now!
So, what?
You leave the house
and become homeless?
KOSSI: (Narrating)
I did not fucking go anywhere...
but, I started
to make some moves.
I was looking for
how to make money
and I saw the story of a man...
who printed $10 million!
In his house!
With just a computer, printer...
a sample of a $100 bill
and his brain!
I decided to look into this...
and I was blown away by
the world's money system.
You know, printing fake money
is one of the oldest crimes
in the world.
But, what if I told you
that the biggest fake-money
printer in the world...
is actually the government?
[Phone ringing]
KACHI:
House boy!
KOSSI:
Bloody factory worker.
Kachi, see...
you remember this paper that
I took from you the other time?
- What?
- That paper.
The one I said feels
like money.
Oh yeah, rag paper.
Why?
I need some.
You can't just get
rag paper like that!
Kachi, there has to be a way!
Yeah, actually there is!
Go to the Central Bank
of Nigeria,
ask the MD to give you some.
Look Kossi, I have to go
I'm busy.
- [Hangs up]
- Kachi!
KOSSI: (Narrating) The United-States
Treasury actually put out a paper
telling you the
security features to look for
in a real dollar.
[Kossi laughing]
KOSSI: (Narrating) This is like the
teacher giving you answers to the exam.
[Kossi laughing]
KOSSI: (Narrating) But the paper
is the foundation of everything...
without paper, I have nothing.
Only banks and top paper
manufacturing companies
have the license
to produce this paper...
and every single sheet
must be accounted for.
Lucky for me, Kachi works
at a printing press...
he knew another friend
that works
for a top paper
manufacturing company.
He was the only hope.
It took a few weeks,
but Kachi finally agreed
to talk to his friend...
and it took his friend
another three weeks
to get into some money trouble.
He finally caved.
KACHI:
He said when he comes out...
we have 10 minutes to do
whatever we need
to go in and do.
And you want me to go in there
and steal papers?
But you tell me that you have
a friend that has papers.
Well,
when I told you he works here,
that is not a lie.
Kachi, it's like you telling me
that someone is in
the film business...
and you get to find out that
they're just security
at the cinema!
Well, that puts him
in the film business.
Kachi...
What the actual fuck?!
Kossi, time is ticking...
The alarm will be coming
back on in 10 minutes...
so, we either stand here
and argue
or go in and get the paper
for only God knows
what you need them for!
I don't even know
why I'm standing here!
I just...
KOSSI: (Narrating)
For everything else...
[Indistinct chattering]
KOSSI: (Narrating) The
underground dark web of Lagos...
perhaps Africa.
Here...
for a fee
fake passports
visas of any kind
anyone's house papers
LPOs
Jesus's birth certificate,
a baby
you get the idea?
you can get your hands
on anything.
Along with the information
I found on
the government website...
I was able to move ahead.
I spent many months working
on the look of the money.
If this is going to work...
first thing first,
it must look like money.
Then, I worked down the list.
But of all the security
features on any bill...
the most powerful test
it must go through
is the one most people
do everyday
without even knowing it.
When you collect money...
your fingers send
a secret signal of validation
to your brain
to put you at ease.
This I found...
there is no bigger test.
EMMANUEL:
It feels like Paper.
Emma, don't be stupid!
Is it a book paper
or a magazine paper or what?
Book paper!
Look, can I open my eyes now?
You cut out paper?
Why?!
You're going crazy, man!
KOSSI: (Narrating)
Emmanuel was right...
I was going crazy.
They say practice makes perfect,
but this is a lie.
Practice makes good.
Only obsession makes perfect.
My money looks like
the real money,
but it doesn't feel like it.
I tried everything.
I raised the ink levels,
neutralized the starch
even more...
I soaked it in
different solutions,
I put it in the microwave
I stored it underground
to bake!
But every time,
my fingers knew
that they were not holding
money.
It was becoming more clear...
I had to find another way
to make money.
In all of this...
I hadn't been there for Oyin.
She was going through
a very difficult time.
One year ago...
she said yes
to marrying this man
that I never liked
from the first time I saw him.
He has proof that him cheating
on me was the work of the devil.
Today...
she will return that ring.
[♪♪♪]
KOSSI: (Narrating) For the
first time in 8 months...
my fingers finally sent that
secret signal to my brain.
[♪♪♪]
KOSSI: (Narrating) The secret ingredient
that had been missing all along.
[♪♪♪]
I don't have my glasses on!
You don't have your glasses on?!
Come in!
What the fuck is wrong with you?
I thought I told you
to clean this place yesterday!
You don't have your
fucking glasses on?!
Yes!
What, then somehow
you managed to miss that?!
Oh! Now, you found your glasses!
I did the cleaning myself,
it wasn't there.
I did not see this.
What are you still doing there?!
Will you pick that shit up
and leave!
Where the hell do you think
you're going to?
I want to go and get a packer.
Will you freaking
pick that shit up
and get the fuck out of here!
Hey! Hey!
Don't use your hands!
You have crocodile hands.
I have my own.
Me?
Fuck you!
- I'm just saying.
- You hear me?
Fuck you!
How much is this?!
I'm working on something...
and I will need you.
Actually,
I can even get you a room.
I already have my own room.
With air condition and TV.
I'll tell you what...
you get me a room,
in this city
no TV, no air condition,
nothing!
Just a room.
Four walls...
I'll move in with you
I will cook for you,
I will clean for you
I will even be your girlfriend.
- Fuck you!
- [Chuckling]
This is not even funny.
And you getting a house?
Not funny!
But, what if I do...
Do we have a deal?
Yes!
We have a deal.
[Laughing]
I'm getting a room.
[Indistinct chattering]
ONLOOKER:
What did he do?
[Inaudible]
What did he steal?
He tried to exchange
fake dollars.
- Are you trying to kill him?!
- He's a thief!
The last time, they put somebody
out of seventy thousand...
Okay, you need change.
Wait, wait.
Move him over there!
Move him!
I'm coming back, now.
[Indistinct chattering]
[♪♪♪]
Take!
We don't like thieves
around here!
Death to any thief
I get my hands on!
Where is he?!
[Man screaming]
KOSSI: (Narrating)
This is the moment
I mentally resigned
as a houseboy.
I just needed the rest of me
to catch up.
[♪♪♪]
[Knocking]
Yes?
How are you?
Look...
if Femi sent you here
to apologize for him...
No, I didn't come here
for anybody.
Just me.
I know you're wondering...
doing on my...
uh, on my chair?"
But, here's a story...
In a very tiny village
in Togo...
there was this little boy
by far, he was the brightest kid
they had ever seen.
Even the missionaries
saw this too!
YOVO!
That's what we called them.
They wanted to take him
to Paris...
they knew with
the right opportunities
he was going straight
to the top!
You want to use my son
for witchcraft,
isn't it Yovo?
Please don't go,
come back here, please!
KOSSI: (Narrating) But the
mother never liked Yovo...
they take black people away,
they use them for sacrifice
and that is why they live
all this glorious lives.
According to her.
[Kossi laughing]
You're beautiful.
You're a bear,
just like me.
I'll call you, "Mama Bear".
You know, I never liked
anyone in my life, before.
I'm liking only you.
I am a business man,
and I'm going to make
a lot of money.
Very soon.
The kind of money that
you would like to come around.
Mama Bear.
I am going to come for you.
Hmm.
Thank you for your time.
One more thing.
You forgot this at the house.
[♪♪♪]
KOSSI: (Narrating) If you are ever
interested in meeting real-life clowns...
look for any property agent
in Lagos.
They are from another planet.
PROPERTY AGENT:
Is it really for you?
It's a 'No'?
This is one of the two
bedrooms...
two of them en suite
and one is currently being...
It's another 'No'?
KOSSI:
Tell me more about this place.
PROPERTY AGENT:
It has 3 bedrooms.
All en suite,
as you can see,
this is a great
living room space
hard to find in an area
like this, for the price.
The kitchen is spacious.
You'll not have to beg your lady
before she cooks for you.
And in thanking her.
Let me show you
the master bedroom.
What is the final price
of this place?
If you are serious,
I mean ready like right now,
KOSSI: (Narrating)
At this point...
I was making $500 every day!
Daddy!
MR. MARTINS: This unannounced
visit is actually about Kossi.
Yes.
I suspect that living outside
the chaos of city life...
has made us to reflect better
on life.
And on decisions
we may have made that err...
may not have been
for the best.
Your father and I...
we feel like we've maybe
not handled the Kossi situation
in the best of ways.
The long and short of it is
we're releasing him.
- Yeah.
- Yes.
- Releasing him?
- Mm-hmm.
To what?
To go back to Togo
and to choose whatever
he wants to do with his life.
He's a relatively young chap
and it's certainly better now
as opposed to later.
But don't worry,
we've hired a proper
maid service, hmm.
They'll come, cook, clean,
take care of the house.
What?
Does he even know anybody
in Togo?
Kossi is as Nigerian
as anybody that I know!
I'm sorry, but this
doesn't make sense!
Mind your tongue, young lady.
Now, we have already
considered that...
and we have made arrangements
to ease his transition.
We've already bought him
a plane ticket!
And we have
a severance package
of 500,000 Naira!
To help him sustain himself
until he figures out
what he wants to do.
And this is why
we're having this conversation?
Really?
I mean, who cares?
It's Kossi.
He's useless.
He smells!
Femi!
MR. MARTINS:
You see what you have raised?
- What I raised?
- Yes!
I raised this one,
you raised that one.
Dear, let's not start, eh?
[♪♪♪]
Well, it's been real.
Good luck.
[♪♪♪]
[Sobbing]
You have my email
and my number.
Call me the second
you get there.
I'm going to miss you
so much, Kossi.
I love you.
[♪♪♪]
[Engine starts]
CAB DRIVER:
So, you're a house boy?!
[Laughing]
And your face looks like this?
You've eaten a pig!
Look at him!
House boy with pink lips.
[Laughing]
CAB DRIVER:
Where are you traveling to?
Won't you answer me?!
I asked
where you're traveling to!
I'm going to Togo.
Togo!
Togo, Togo, Togo, Togo!
You're going to Togo...
and you're carrying
a refugee bag.
[Cab driver laughing]
CAB DRIVER: You're traveling
out of the country?
Like this?!
Like this?!
No problem.
My only concern is to
drop you off at the airport.
Then they can do with you
whatever they like.
Help me fix the mirror well!
The side mirror,
do it!
Closer!
I want to provoke you to talk!
Provoke me?
- Talk!
- Must we talk?!
CAB DRIVER:
You must talk!
KOSSI:
Why?!
Because I want you to talk!
I'm happy!
I provoked him!
What is all of this?!
What is all of this?!
Togo, Togo!
Togo, Togo!
Can you tell me
what the hell is going on?!
We've just missed our flight!
We left our cab
with our bags inside.
We didn't miss any flight.
We didn't miss any flight.
That was not my own flight.
You understand.
That was not my flight.
Taking me back to what?!
- Togo!
- To Togo?!
You want to go back to Togo?!
You want to go back to Togo,
what do you know about Togo?!
See, I'm working on something,
right now...
and all I need from you
is your loyalty and trust.
And if all these things is
too much for you to carry,
you can go back, now!
I got us a beautiful place,
you will love it.
But first...
one more stop.
KOSSI: (Narrating) Changing
$100 bill is one thing...
but changing...
10,000!
[Chuckles]
You're holding big money now,
my friend.
That's good.
Maybe I should go
somewhere else.
No, no, no, no...
See...
Even if you go,
you'll come back.
Our price is the best.
I swear to God.
Please sit down.
Sit down, please.
Just one minute.
One minute.
[♪♪♪]
My friend!
There's a problem.
You see this your dollar...
is 1996.
This is the recent one.
It's always 10 Naira less.
I'm saying the truth,
ask anybody.
It's 10 Naira less.
Pleasure doing business
with you!
KACHI:
Kossi, you live here now?
KOSSI:
This is me...
Head of Operations.
I am in charge.
Emmanuel...
this is you.
Muhtar...
and Kachi
you're here.
Emmanuel will
follow my orders...
and you two will
follow Emmanuel's orders.
The way it is on the board...
it is the exact way that
it's going to be, but...
We are all the same.
Hmm?
We are all the same.
If we do these things
very well...
we're heading straight
to the top!
Kachi...
You may have to resign, yeah?
KACHI:
Done!
How much are they paying me?
I'll resign, too.
From what?
You don't have a job, Muhtar!
I mean, I'll stop looking...
Shut up, Muhtar!
KOSSI:
But first!
First thing first...
Image!
You see all these rags
that we are wearing.
We have to put them all together
and burn them to ashes.
Burn everything!
We need to look the part.
Hmm?
Because when people see us...
they think we're rich.
And when we give them money,
they won't even have
any reason to think at all.
Please...
choose your own style.
Do not look like anybody.
Because you're at your best...
when you are yourself, hmm?
KOSSI: (Narrating) I saw this
place on Mama Bear's phone.
So, it must classy.
[Indistinct lyrics]
[♪♪♪]
Ahh!
I like everything!
[♪♪♪]
Excuse me!
How much is this bag?
Very good choice.
It's $5,500 only.
- DELIVERY GIRL: Hello!
- Hello!
We have a delivery
for Miss. Sonia Badu.
Okay, where's it?
We have to see an ID, please.
TV VOICE:
I really can't keep up!
When did stupid
become a style?
Hey! What's going on,
that's my bag!
There's a delivery for you.
A what?
TV VOICE: Man,
the only Don you ever had...
Delivery!
Thank you!
- Have a good day, madam.
- Thank you!
Sonia!
Do you mind?!
Is Femi in the doghouse?
Even if!
Ify!
I can hear your brain breathe!
Oh my God!
Did Femi send this?
Mama Bear?
Papa Bear?
You better start talking, Sonia.
[Sighs]
It's Femi's house boy.
[Exclaims]
What if he stole it?
Did you see
how it was delivered?
It came straight from the store.
He paid for this.
But you know...
if you don't want it
I can just take it.
Oh.
[♪♪♪]
What is this thing?
This?!
This is champagne!
It tastes like water
from raw pap.
You will like it.
KOSSI: You know how all
those suicide bombers
are supposed to get virgins.
when they get to paradise.
This is paradise!
And you don't have to bomb
anybody.
Just come to Lagos.
KACHI:
Yeah.
Best part...
none of them are virgins.
Yeah! Very true.
How the fuck you know, man?
- Me?
- Ha.
KOSSI:
Not you.
I'm talking to your
grandfather's spirit.
This is the closest
you have ever been to any girl,
not fully dressed, Muhtar.
- Me?
- Mhmm.
Again... not you.
Look at that girl, right there!
KOSSI: Muhtar!
You wanna go talk to her?
EMMANUEL:
Go!
It's easy!
Just tell her
what you like about her.
- Don't teach me nothing.
- Uh.
I know what to do!
Pay attention!
Shabba!
Hello, how are you?
Hello...
[Laughter]
KOSSI: (Narrating) And as we were
having the time of our lives...
this was happening on
the other side of town.
That came in this morning.
What's the trail on this?
CAPTAIN:
None.
They're that good.
TOYE: But,
the machine didn't pick up anything?
That's your problem now,
detective.
Let me know what you find.
I'm leading this?
At some point, a man
has to lose his virginity.
And I do not see you wearing
a white collar, so...
yes, your first lead.
Thank you, mam.
KOSSI: (Narrating) The good counterfeit
will pass from person to person
and stores to stores.
They usually don't get noticed
until they reach the bank.
Now, the bank has agencies
that will compare the notes
for tendencies,
so they can trace
where the fake is coming from.
That's where these guys come in.
The first step is
usually a shakedown
of the usual suspects.
My bill was so good,
it took them
completely off track.
Thinking it must be coming
from the guys at the top.
TOYE:
Yeah! The regular.
Money laundering.
KOSSI: (Narrating)
Detective Toye...
he's a brilliant,
but troubled man.
She gave me the ring back.
Now, she's talking about going
to grad school in America.
I mean, I make one mistake,
one mistake!
She calls off the engagement?!
KOSSI: (Narrating) This investigation
is not the only headache
for Detective Toye...
His personal life is also
going through some rocks.
[♪♪♪]
Kachi, what is this?
What is the mean...
Listen! See, Muhtar!
Look, all it takes...
for this ship to wreck,
burn and sink
is one single faulty bill.
Just one!
So if you're cutting,
make sure it's a perfect cut.
And if you are pasting,
make sure it is
a flawless paste.
very strip straight, please!
Because, you cannot defend
a fake out there...
but a perfect copy,
you can fight for!
TOYE: I can't believe
you're leaving so soon.
Leaving me here all alone.
OYIN:
Are you sure about that?
[Clears throat]
So...
How's the ticket?
Expensive.
You know, I have a bonus
coming in soon.
That should be able
to take care of that.
You don't have to do that.
I know I don't have to,
but I want to.
I want it to be
my responsibility.
Again.
See, Oyin it's just...
Whose is this?
What is it?
It's a printed $100 bill.
Really?
I don't know.
Oh!
It's probably for Kossi.
He has an obsession
with printing junk.
God, I miss him.
[♪♪♪]
KOSSI:
Mr. Abu!
You are ready for
the business, aye?
Hey!
Come, let's go!
Come, let's go!
Come on.
KOSSI: Abu, what is...
What is going on?!
- KOSSI: Abu!
- Come on.
How much is this?
50,000.
Where did you get this money?
I don't know what this
has to do with you.
The last time you came...
you changed $10,000.
Now, you've come back.
$50,000.
What kind of business
do you do?
Where is your office?
I swear to God!
We don't like thieves
around here!
Who's the thief?
You talk...
or we make you talk.
It's up to you.
I will tell you everything
that you want to know.
Hmm.
I was a house boy in Abuja,
for Mustafi.
The former Governor?
[♪♪♪]
I want five Naira
off the market price.
My friend, 15 Naira.
This dollar, is old dollar.
No, Shagari, you have
not impressed me at all.
You have not.
I want 10!
Plus delivery service.
I call you...
I tell you where the dollar is,
you send the money to me.
Deal?
My friend, no problem.
No problem.
You can change big dollars?
Come on!
Everybody comes to me!
One million dollars,
two million dollars, no problem.
No problem.
I have way more than that.
My very good friend!
God brought you to me!
Shagari!
SHAGARI:
My very good friend!
[♪♪♪]
Hello Hammed...
I need you to call Johnson,
over at immigration.
Have him run a
flight check on a Kossi.
K-O-S-S-I
As in Singapore, India.
Get everything you can
in the last two months.
I'm on my way to the office.
[♪♪♪]
Babe, uhm...
It's not what you think.
I can explain this.
She, uhm...
just came around to say hello,
and uhm...
Okay, please!
Just sit down.
Hear me out!
Just sit for a second, please.
Oh, fuck!
You didn't even ask
any questions.
You just walked in and...
SONIA: What the fuck are
you talking about, Femi?!
I saw you kissing and doing shit
with some fucking whore!
Babe...
are you going to believe
your eyes
or what you think you saw
or are you going to trust me
on this one?
[♪♪♪]
HAMMED: We had 109 Kossi's
depart in the last two months.
Hold that thought.
Do you think those two
came from the same source?
At the least,
it can't be ruled out.
TOYE:
All right.
Let's get a road manifest
for the same period.
Okay.
You know, detective...
looking at the manifest by road,
we could be talking about
over 2,000 names.
And your point is?
That's a whole lot of names.
You have to treat every crime
like the crime of the century.
You know why?
Because you never know
what you'll find.
Frankly, I don't care
if it's a million names.
Go get them.
[♪♪♪]
[Knocking on door]
FEMI:
Sonia, please.
[Music playing in background]
[Taking deep breaths]
You know what...
you've got 10 seconds
to open this door.
If you don't,
I'll leave and that's it!
Will you fucking open this door!
10!
9!
Open the door!
Open the fucking door!
Babe, don't worry about this.
He'll be gone in 60 seconds
and we can go to the club
and have some fun.
Okay?
KOSSI: Look at all these girls
here, tonight!
Kossi, we should live here!
You're gonna get
slapped again, yeah?
[Cheering and laughing]
MUHTAR:
It's the pap water, again!
This is because
we're celebrating!
Today, our business took
a turn for the moon!
The moon!
I am ready to enjoy
this journey.
To a ton of money!
TOGETHER:
To a ton of money!
[Laughter]
[♪♪♪]
Oh my God!
What, what, what is it?
[♪♪♪]
KOSSI:
Mama Bear!
Oh, hi!
Hello.
How are you?
Fine, thank you.
Is that your friend?
Yes, this is Ify.
Oh.
Ify.
KACHI:
Kossi!
You know,
I was calling your number and...
you did not pick,
so, I thought I...
had a wrong number.
- Yeah, maybe.
- Oh.
[Nervous laugh]
See...
I'm over there.
At the VIP.
You wanna come?
So we can talk.
Can I think about it?
Yeah, sure, sure!
- Sure.
- Okay.
Take your time.
Take your time.
20 seconds...
30 seconds...
Any time,
just take it, yeah!
Okay.
[Clears throat]
Excuse me.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
This is Mama Bear!
So, these are my people,
yeah.
Is everything okay?
Um, I never got to thank you
for the bag.
Ah, oh yeah?
Do you like it?
It's gorgeous!
But...
I'll have to give it back.
Oh, yeah.
KOSSI: (Narrating) It was clear that
she just wanted to make him jealous.
But, you know what they say...
"Opportunity favors
the prepared man."
I have money now.
I mean, that shirt cost me
1,800 real dollars.
That's $100 more
than my perfume.
The people
at The Polo Avenue promised
it will catch me a big fish.
Now, Sonia?
She is a mermaid!
Are you sure you really
want to return this bag?
- Hmm?
- Um-hmm.
Hmm.
But,
First thing first...
this bag
is not empty.
Empty.
Open it.
No!
Open this bag, now!
Or I'll be forced...
to use force.
What's stopping you?
Hmm.
[♪♪♪]
[Birds squawking]
Aye!
I'm in company of bad boys!
Bad boys!
Last night was the
greatest night of my life!
And you just missed her.
- Is this boy lying or what?
- Don't ask me.
[Laughing]
Who was that?
The girl from where
we changed the money.
I pulled her in!
KOSSI:
Are you fucking serious?
How the fuck do you
not use your head?
- Relax, man.
- Huh?
Do you know
what you have done?
You just brought your shit
to the eating table, man.
That girl probably
can't find her way anywhere.
- She can't even see!
- What?!
KOSSI:
Kachi!
So what you're telling me now,
is after all this money...
you cannot even get
a fucking hotel?
So, I have to stay
in my own house...
worrying about Shagari invading
my space with 1,000 swordsmen?
- You tell me!
- [Kachi exhales]
EMMANUEL:
You know what we need?
I'm telling you,
I trust my instincts.
So you want me to arrest a guy
because you think
he's a criminal?
I know what I saw!
Whatever it is,
it has to be illegal!
What's going on?
Femi here wants me
to arrest a guy
because, the guy disrespected
him in the club last night.
The fuck?!
That's not it.
I'm sorry, I'm wrong.
The guy also spent an
obscene amount of money,
which he thinks
is illegal money.
Go take a nap,
you look a mess.
Whatever happened in that club,
I'm sure you caused it.
I caused it, really?
Our houseboy, spending money,
buying bottles of champagne
at the club!
Putting moves
on my girlfriend
right in front of my face,
and...
- It's my fault?!
- Wait!
Kossi?!
Tipping the bouncer $100
to assault me
and carry me out of the club!
- And that is my fault?!
- Wait, wait, wait, hold on...
$100 bills?
Do you have a description
of this bouncer?
ROCKY:
How can I help you?
We're working on something
right now, and...
- we need protection.
- You know?
We need you around the clock.
Do you have any special skill
for that kind of job?
CLUB BOUNCER:
Hey, Rocky!
Some people here to see you!
I'm coming.
Give me one minute.
TOYE: We're detectives from the
Special financial crimes unit.
I'm Toye,
and this is my partner, Hammed.
Uh, how can I help you?
We are in pursuit of a guy
called Kossi.
We learned that he was here,
in your club, last night.
We also learned that he...
gave you a tip.
Dollars.
The club is always dark.
I'd like to remind you...
lying to an officer is a crime,
with serious consequence.
Officer, I get tips every night.
It's nothing.
Mind if I have a look
at the money?
I exchanged it, already.
Where?
Or do you remember
who changed it for you?
Well, the window was crowded,
and...
[♪♪♪]
Where did you change the money?
I will triple your salary,
if you can work for us...
starting from now.
[♪♪♪]
ABUBAKAR: Which one,
is it dollar or pounds?
TOYE:
Have you seen this guy?
What did he do?
My friend.
This guy is flooding the streets
with high quality counterfeit.
Dollars!
TOYE:
Look well.
No, no.
Are you sure?
Yes, sure.
I've never seen him.
If you ever see him...
you give me a call.
[Phone ringing]
KOSSI:
Hello, Abubakar!
You need what?
One million dollars.
One million dollars?
You're serious?
You have the cash?
I have the cash...
right here with me.
KOSSI:
Okay.
How about Friday?
Friday is good.
KOSSI:
No problem.
Thank you, my friend.
Thank you, Abubakar.
TOGETHER:
One million dollars!
Yeah, baby!
Have you heard
from your house boy?
I'm sorry, I...
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
Have you heard from Kossi?
Since he left?
Not even one phone call?
Alright, fine,
if he calls you...
you have to call me immediately,
okay please?
He's a criminal,
in a world of trouble, baby.
[Chuckles]
[♪♪♪]
Kossi, what are you still
doing here?
Making money.
What do you do?
I make money.
I heard you.
How?
I print my own money.
Kossi!
I know.
You know,
anyone can be a monster.
Except you.
[Phone ringing]
Um listen, can I call you back?
Not that
it's any of your business,
but I'm having dinner
with a friend.
Okay, bye.
Listen, Kossi,
that was Toye on the phone,
he's been looking for you
everywhere.
Kossi,
you're in really big trouble.
Does he know
that I'm here?
No, no,
of course not.
Listen...
you need to be really careful.
Toye, he has a lot of resources
at the agency,
and sooner or later
they will find you.
I have to go.
Please, call me.
[♪♪♪]
SONIA: I think we actually
need to take things slow.
This is all too strange for me.
It wasn't strange
the other night.
I had too much champagne!
In wine, there's always
the real truth.
If you don't believe me...
Then, let us drink again.
[Phone ringing]
Emma...
What is it?
Don't you think you
should be here?
So I can hold your hand
or something?
This money is stacking up fast.
We need to get everything
done by tomorrow.
Are you telling me
after all this time...
you don't know what to do?
I'm just saying that...
I don't know
what you have going on,
that's more important than
what we have going on.
Don't worry.
I'll see you soon.
[♪♪♪]
Let us go away...
to somewhere new, you know.
Beautiful.
Quiet.
And I have a deal tomorrow.
After then...
you won't have to worry
about anything.
For sure not money.
Mama Bear.
[♪♪♪]
Hey, look!
That's the bastard!
[♪♪♪]
[Knock on door]
Good morning, boss.
But, you people are aware
that we have neighbors
everywhere.
Huh?
What is this?
The first person step in here,
they see all of these things.
So, you're telling me
that there's no locker,
or safe or something,
to put all these things in?
Rocky is at the door.
Nobody can enter this place.
And we don't even talk
to anyone here!
Emmanuel...
I don't want all these things
here.
EMMANUEL:
What do you want me to do?
You have to check the money
before it can enter the safe.
You're asking me
what to do?
Emmanuel!
What do I want you to do?
Oh, okay!
How about you take
all the money...
take everything!
Put them together...
stack them
then put them outside.
Now, get a sign post
and write...
"Money Printing Shop".
How about that?
Put these things away!
What... what...
what is this?
Put this in the locker,
locker is over there!
Tell me why am I looking
at a report about
counterfeit money machine
seizures...
and I haven't got one
single report from you?!
Maybe I shouldn't have assigned
you lead on this case.
I do not think you're ready!
See me in my office, now!
[♪♪♪]
CAPTAIN:
[Inaudible speech]
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
[Clears throat]
Hey, baby.
I came here for...
two things.
The other day you called me...
I lied that I was
with a friend, but...
I was with Kossi.
He confessed.
You love him like a brother.
I expected
you'd cover up for him.
Well, I don't know
who this Kossi is.
Besides...
if WE are going to be spending
the rest of our lives together,
I...
I need to be sure
what side I'm on.
I have an arrest warrant...
being processed.
He's going down
Friday night.
Hmm.
Thank God.
I...
bought my ticket.
I leave on Friday night.
[♪♪♪]
Hot off the press!
What is going on?
Listen, you need
to get out of here!
Out of Lagos.
Out of Nigeria. Please!
- What do you mean?
- Toye has a warrant!
The bastard is going down,
tonight!
- But you are leaving tonight?
- Kossi!
Are you listening to me,
you need to get out!
- Where will I go?!
- I don't know!
Listen,
I've been thinking...
do you have enough money
to charter a plane?
I think I have enough
to even buy a small one.
Great!
I will send you the details.
Kossi!
Toye will stop at nothing!
Assemble the team!
I need this wrapped up, quick.
Copy that!
Alright, go.
Just go.
Kossi!
You're fucking Sonia?!
I always knew
you were baddass!
[♪♪♪]
EMMANUEL:
960...
970...
980...
990...
1 million.
[♪♪♪]
KOSSI:
Go and get Rocky outside.
All the laptops, ink,
paper, clips, everything...
Clear this whole house, now.
Hmm.
Where are we going to?
I don't know.
My dear, the account
is now fully operational.
There's about $10,000 in it,
right now.
I love you, daddy!
MRS. MARTINS:
Isn't there something else...
Oh, yeah!
Umm... Oyin...
Mom, dad, I love you.
I'll have to call you
when I get to the airport.
- Okay, bye!
- Oyin!
Kossi!
Where have you been?!
Larry has been calling me,
they're about to give the plane
to someone else!
KOSSI: I just need to
make one more stop.
Okay, well...
there's no time, alright.
It's $15,000,
or you can pay in Naira.
Do you have the money?
KOSSI:
Yeah, I have the money.
Okay, so I need you to go
to the airport, straight away.
I've text you the details.
He's expecting you.
KOSSI: Okay,
but I will have to go home, first.
No, no, no!
Kossi, listen to me...
you cannot go home.
Toye is either at your house,
or on his way there...
do not go home!
Do not fucking go home!
[♪♪♪]
My good friend!
- How are you?
- Fine!
- You have the stuff?
- Yeah, I have it in the car.
Do you have the money?
Hey!
Bring it, quick!
350 million Naira,
right inside here.
KOSSI:
Give me one second.
One million...
dollars, eh.
Your request.
Uh, that's good.
Everything is okay.
But, just to be sure, mhmm.
I want to test the dollar.
To be sure it's real.
But, I told you the story
about the money.
It's not about the story,
my friend.
This is reality.
I'll drop a liquid on it...
If the dollar is real...
everything goes fine.
But, if the dollar is fake, eh,
it turns black.
Will it turn black?
Give me liquid!
Will it turn black?
[♪♪♪]
One time, my friend...
two times, my friend...
will it turn black?
[♪♪♪]
My good friend.
I...
- My friend!
- What?
It turned black!
You want to scam me
of 350 million Naira?!
Get him!
Put him in the car!
Throw him inside!
I'll show you
how we deal with thieves!
[Indistinct yelling]
[♪♪♪]
HAMMED:
What do we do?
[♪♪♪]
[Groaning]
[Panting]
SHAGARI:
Thief!
I told you,
I don't like thieves.
You've stolen
a lot of my money.
You can take anything else...
my wife, my children...
they reduce my money, too.
But, when you steal my money?!
What I do to you...
your hand will never
be able to hold money, again.
[Kossi grunting and coughing]
[♪♪♪]
Hello!
Fatima...
don't do that.
I know you've been
trying to call me.
I'll explain everything,
when I see you.
Can I see you?
Fatima!
FATIMA:
I've missed you.
I miss you, too!
So much that,
I want to see you.
Next week.
When we get back on land.
On land?
Where are you?
We're at the beach house,
in Satellite.
So, you think some ocean
will keep me from seeing you?
[Boat engine revving]
[♪♪♪]
[Grunting]
There were other
five house boys there.
And only two of us knew
where the money room is...
we knew the police
were coming.
And we packed
as much as we could,
and I came to Lagos.

Did I hear something?
Sorry, sorry, sorry,
I must be getting old!
You're angry?
Don't be angry.

Shhh! One word and
I'll blow your head off!
Where are you keeping him?
Get in, get in, get in.

TOYE: You know you don't have to
go, right?
Besides, if you leave,
how am I supposed to survive?
I've been thinking about this,
long and hard...
kinda like my,
you know...
Sorry.
December 384
Kossi?
TOYE:
So, Oyindamola...
Abake...
Martins.
I've decided that my world
revolves around you.
Your happiness will be
my daily responsibility.
If you agree to marry me...
again...
I will dedicate my whole...
[♪♪♪]
[Beeping]
Excuse me!
You need to open that door,
I need to get through.
Do you have a reservation?
Relax...
I'm a detective with the
special financial crimes unit.
There's a man about
to board that plane,
I need to stop him!
That still doesn't give you
access to the tarmac!
I'm sure it's him!
A 100% sure it's him!
The EAU Hanger.
Please, the order

Turn off your engine!
Where are you coming from?
From the factory down
the road there, sir.
OFFICER #1:
Down where?
Dacula.
The rubber factory, officer.
OFFICER #1:
What is there?
There's nothing, really.
Just rubber blocks, officer.
OFFICER #1:
You say what?
Rubber blocks!
OFFICER #1: Come
down from the motor.
But I just told you,
it's rubber blocks!
OFFICER #1: I said,
come down from the motor.
- Oya, take him there!
- It's rubber blocks, officer.
There's nothing there.
[Crickets chirping]
OFFICER #2:
Open it!

OFFICER #2:

[Squeaking]
KOSSI: (Narrating) The world is
designed to protect children.
We are the last
pure entity left.
- [Phone ringing]
- Sorry, sorry, my phone.
Hello.
Yes.
Yes.
[Inaudible chatter]
[Sighs]
KOSSI: (Narrating) But when
you are from Gbangbale, Togo...
no one gives a flying,
running, crawling fuck.
'Cause even parents sell
their children away
for a few meals around here.
Our generation
was supposed to stay nothing.
[♪♪♪]
KOSSI: (Narrating) I was sold
to this house, maybe rent...
but master did not want me here.
There's a civil war going on
where that boy just came from.
Uh-huh?
I'll say we're doing his family
a huge favor by taking him in.
The boy is from Togo!
The only civil war going on
in Togo right now darling,
is in your head!
[Laughs]
- But honey...
- No, honey.
Let the boy go back
to where he came from.
And that's final.
Final?
I'm sorry,
I didn't quite catch that.
I brought that boy
into this house
for one reason...
to keep this house clean.
If his family wanted him around,
I'm sure that's
where he would be.
So stop trying to save
the world,
and mind your own business.
Well, um... my house,
so it is kind of my business,
no?
MRS. MARTINS:
Correction!
This is OUR house!
May I suggest, you send in
your notice at work...
learn how to cook and clean
- [Laughs]
- It's called house husbanding!
- Ridiculous!
- Yes!
It's not such a taboo anymore...
darling!
Thanks, honey!
KOSSI: (Narrating)
She is the real master.
So, I stay.
There was this bully
from Japan
that her brother
cannot protect her from.
I promised that
I will destroy this bully,
so she became my best friend.
Her name is Oyin.
And on the other hand...
[Rattling]
KOSSI: (Narrating)
His name...
is Bastard.
GAME VOICE:
Japan!
- [Gaming voices]
- [Keys tapping]
GAME VOICE:
You lose!
GAME VOICE:
Round 1, fight!
[Gaming voices]
KOSSI: (Narrating) I forgot to
mention that I used to play this game
with the missionaries
back in Gbangbale.
GAME VOICE: You win! Perfect!
GAME VOICE:
Round 2, fight!
KOSSI: (Narrating)
It was after this game...
master sir told me that
my mother died.
Oyin helped me plan
my escape.
I have to go and save
my mother's fish.
[♪♪♪]
KOSSI: (Narrating)
So...
I stayed.
15 years!
I read somewhere that
you should never trust a man...
Even if that man is your fiancé?
Kossi please, I don't want to
talk about this anymore.
Look!
This is why you want to leave.
- What will I do?
- Plenty!
All you have to do is sort out
Femi's big head...
and you'll have time
to spend with Emma
Kachi and Muhtar
and oh!
Maybe you can finally
start dating that secret girl
you've refused to tell me about.
I cannot be with her now.
Why not?
See, the things men
should know about women...
men don't have the time to learn
And if they have the time,
they definitely
don't have the money.
So, where does
that leave someone like me?
Kossi!
The things that
come out of your mouth...
amazing.
[Phone ringing]
[Grunts]
- KOSSI: It's Kossi!
- Fuck! Come in!
- You called me.
- I fucking know that.
Wash the stain off that.
Put some towels by the pool.
Hello.
[Sighs]
My name is Kossi.
Okay?
Do you want something to drink?
FEMI:
Hey!
Will you get the fuck away
from there!
You crazy?
KOSSI: (Narrating)
Emmanuel is from my village...
he always dress nice,
even in his uniform.
His master,
the professor likes him
like the son he never had.
He even taught him
how to speak like him.
[Chuckles]
You know that sometimes
where you live...
determines if you live.
There was no hope for us
in Gbangbale!
And this is hope?
Tell me, Emma.
Show me.
I should have done
everything for them
not to bring me
into this country...
I should have held onto a knife
I Should have fought.
I shouldn't have done nothing!
You're acting as if
this is the end of the world.
This is not
the end of the world.
Even the end of the world
is not the end of the world!
Emma, but it could be
the end of me!
Well, you're here now...
and you're a man.
So, what are you
going to do about it?
Everything!
Like what?
Leave?
Go back to Togo?
What?!
What the fuck is wrong
with you, Emma?
Huh?!
Togo?!
See, the only way
I'm going back...
is in a private jet
and a baggage full of money!
So, bye bye Togo.
I cannot stay another day
as a slave to that shithead!
It is time.
And first thing
tomorrow morning
I'm leaving that house
for good...
My real life starts now!
So, what?
You leave the house
and become homeless?
KOSSI: (Narrating)
I did not fucking go anywhere...
but, I started
to make some moves.
I was looking for
how to make money
and I saw the story of a man...
who printed $10 million!
In his house!
With just a computer, printer...
a sample of a $100 bill
and his brain!
I decided to look into this...
and I was blown away by
the world's money system.
You know, printing fake money
is one of the oldest crimes
in the world.
But, what if I told you
that the biggest fake-money
printer in the world...
is actually the government?
[Phone ringing]
KACHI:
House boy!
KOSSI:
Bloody factory worker.
Kachi, see...
you remember this paper that
I took from you the other time?
- What?
- That paper.
The one I said feels
like money.
Oh yeah, rag paper.
Why?
I need some.
You can't just get
rag paper like that!
Kachi, there has to be a way!
Yeah, actually there is!
Go to the Central Bank
of Nigeria,
ask the MD to give you some.
Look Kossi, I have to go
I'm busy.
- [Hangs up]
- Kachi!
KOSSI: (Narrating) The United-States
Treasury actually put out a paper
telling you the
security features to look for
in a real dollar.
[Kossi laughing]
KOSSI: (Narrating) This is like the
teacher giving you answers to the exam.
[Kossi laughing]
KOSSI: (Narrating) But the paper
is the foundation of everything...
without paper, I have nothing.
Only banks and top paper
manufacturing companies
have the license
to produce this paper...
and every single sheet
must be accounted for.
Lucky for me, Kachi works
at a printing press...
he knew another friend
that works
for a top paper
manufacturing company.
He was the only hope.
It took a few weeks,
but Kachi finally agreed
to talk to his friend...
and it took his friend
another three weeks
to get into some money trouble.
He finally caved.
KACHI:
He said when he comes out...
we have 10 minutes to do
whatever we need
to go in and do.
And you want me to go in there
and steal papers?
But you tell me that you have
a friend that has papers.
Well,
when I told you he works here,
that is not a lie.
Kachi, it's like you telling me
that someone is in
the film business...
and you get to find out that
they're just security
at the cinema!
Well, that puts him
in the film business.
Kachi...
What the actual fuck?!
Kossi, time is ticking...
The alarm will be coming
back on in 10 minutes...
so, we either stand here
and argue
or go in and get the paper
for only God knows
what you need them for!
I don't even know
why I'm standing here!
I just...
KOSSI: (Narrating)
For everything else...
[Indistinct chattering]
KOSSI: (Narrating) The
underground dark web of Lagos...
perhaps Africa.
Here...
for a fee
fake passports
visas of any kind
anyone's house papers
LPOs
Jesus's birth certificate,
a baby
you get the idea?
you can get your hands
on anything.
Along with the information
I found on
the government website...
I was able to move ahead.
I spent many months working
on the look of the money.
If this is going to work...
first thing first,
it must look like money.
Then, I worked down the list.
But of all the security
features on any bill...
the most powerful test
it must go through
is the one most people
do everyday
without even knowing it.
When you collect money...
your fingers send
a secret signal of validation
to your brain
to put you at ease.
This I found...
there is no bigger test.
EMMANUEL:
It feels like Paper.
Emma, don't be stupid!
Is it a book paper
or a magazine paper or what?
Book paper!
Look, can I open my eyes now?
You cut out paper?
Why?!
You're going crazy, man!
KOSSI: (Narrating)
Emmanuel was right...
I was going crazy.
They say practice makes perfect,
but this is a lie.
Practice makes good.
Only obsession makes perfect.
My money looks like
the real money,
but it doesn't feel like it.
I tried everything.
I raised the ink levels,
neutralized the starch
even more...
I soaked it in
different solutions,
I put it in the microwave
I stored it underground
to bake!
But every time,
my fingers knew
that they were not holding
money.
It was becoming more clear...
I had to find another way
to make money.
In all of this...
I hadn't been there for Oyin.
She was going through
a very difficult time.
One year ago...
she said yes
to marrying this man
that I never liked
from the first time I saw him.
He has proof that him cheating
on me was the work of the devil.
Today...
she will return that ring.
[♪♪♪]
KOSSI: (Narrating) For the
first time in 8 months...
my fingers finally sent that
secret signal to my brain.
[♪♪♪]
KOSSI: (Narrating) The secret ingredient
that had been missing all along.
[♪♪♪]
I don't have my glasses on!
You don't have your glasses on?!
Come in!
What the fuck is wrong with you?
I thought I told you
to clean this place yesterday!
You don't have your
fucking glasses on?!
Yes!
What, then somehow
you managed to miss that?!
Oh! Now, you found your glasses!
I did the cleaning myself,
it wasn't there.
I did not see this.
What are you still doing there?!
Will you pick that shit up
and leave!
Where the hell do you think
you're going to?
I want to go and get a packer.
Will you freaking
pick that shit up
and get the fuck out of here!
Hey! Hey!
Don't use your hands!
You have crocodile hands.
I have my own.
Me?
Fuck you!
- I'm just saying.
- You hear me?
Fuck you!
How much is this?!
I'm working on something...
and I will need you.
Actually,
I can even get you a room.
I already have my own room.
With air condition and TV.
I'll tell you what...
you get me a room,
in this city
no TV, no air condition,
nothing!
Just a room.
Four walls...
I'll move in with you
I will cook for you,
I will clean for you
I will even be your girlfriend.
- Fuck you!
- [Chuckling]
This is not even funny.
And you getting a house?
Not funny!
But, what if I do...
Do we have a deal?
Yes!
We have a deal.
[Laughing]
I'm getting a room.
[Indistinct chattering]
ONLOOKER:
What did he do?
[Inaudible]
What did he steal?
He tried to exchange
fake dollars.
- Are you trying to kill him?!
- He's a thief!
The last time, they put somebody
out of seventy thousand...
Okay, you need change.
Wait, wait.
Move him over there!
Move him!
I'm coming back, now.
[Indistinct chattering]
[♪♪♪]
Take!
We don't like thieves
around here!
Death to any thief
I get my hands on!
Where is he?!
[Man screaming]
KOSSI: (Narrating)
This is the moment
I mentally resigned
as a houseboy.
I just needed the rest of me
to catch up.
[♪♪♪]
[Knocking]
Yes?
How are you?
Look...
if Femi sent you here
to apologize for him...
No, I didn't come here
for anybody.
Just me.
I know you're wondering...
doing on my...
uh, on my chair?"
But, here's a story...
In a very tiny village
in Togo...
there was this little boy
by far, he was the brightest kid
they had ever seen.
Even the missionaries
saw this too!
YOVO!
That's what we called them.
They wanted to take him
to Paris...
they knew with
the right opportunities
he was going straight
to the top!
You want to use my son
for witchcraft,
isn't it Yovo?
Please don't go,
come back here, please!
KOSSI: (Narrating) But the
mother never liked Yovo...
they take black people away,
they use them for sacrifice
and that is why they live
all this glorious lives.
According to her.
[Kossi laughing]
You're beautiful.
You're a bear,
just like me.
I'll call you, "Mama Bear".
You know, I never liked
anyone in my life, before.
I'm liking only you.
I am a business man,
and I'm going to make
a lot of money.
Very soon.
The kind of money that
you would like to come around.
Mama Bear.
I am going to come for you.
Hmm.
Thank you for your time.
One more thing.
You forgot this at the house.
[♪♪♪]
KOSSI: (Narrating) If you are ever
interested in meeting real-life clowns...
look for any property agent
in Lagos.
They are from another planet.
PROPERTY AGENT:
Is it really for you?
It's a 'No'?
This is one of the two
bedrooms...
two of them en suite
and one is currently being...
It's another 'No'?
KOSSI:
Tell me more about this place.
PROPERTY AGENT:
It has 3 bedrooms.
All en suite,
as you can see,
this is a great
living room space
hard to find in an area
like this, for the price.
The kitchen is spacious.
You'll not have to beg your lady
before she cooks for you.
And in thanking her.
Let me show you
the master bedroom.
What is the final price
of this place?
If you are serious,
I mean ready like right now,
KOSSI: (Narrating)
At this point...
I was making $500 every day!
Daddy!
MR. MARTINS: This unannounced
visit is actually about Kossi.
Yes.
I suspect that living outside
the chaos of city life...
has made us to reflect better
on life.
And on decisions
we may have made that err...
may not have been
for the best.
Your father and I...
we feel like we've maybe
not handled the Kossi situation
in the best of ways.
The long and short of it is
we're releasing him.
- Yeah.
- Yes.
- Releasing him?
- Mm-hmm.
To what?
To go back to Togo
and to choose whatever
he wants to do with his life.
He's a relatively young chap
and it's certainly better now
as opposed to later.
But don't worry,
we've hired a proper
maid service, hmm.
They'll come, cook, clean,
take care of the house.
What?
Does he even know anybody
in Togo?
Kossi is as Nigerian
as anybody that I know!
I'm sorry, but this
doesn't make sense!
Mind your tongue, young lady.
Now, we have already
considered that...
and we have made arrangements
to ease his transition.
We've already bought him
a plane ticket!
And we have
a severance package
of 500,000 Naira!
To help him sustain himself
until he figures out
what he wants to do.
And this is why
we're having this conversation?
Really?
I mean, who cares?
It's Kossi.
He's useless.
He smells!
Femi!
MR. MARTINS:
You see what you have raised?
- What I raised?
- Yes!
I raised this one,
you raised that one.
Dear, let's not start, eh?
[♪♪♪]
Well, it's been real.
Good luck.
[♪♪♪]
[Sobbing]
You have my email
and my number.
Call me the second
you get there.
I'm going to miss you
so much, Kossi.
I love you.
[♪♪♪]
[Engine starts]
CAB DRIVER:
So, you're a house boy?!
[Laughing]
And your face looks like this?
You've eaten a pig!
Look at him!
House boy with pink lips.
[Laughing]
CAB DRIVER:
Where are you traveling to?
Won't you answer me?!
I asked
where you're traveling to!
I'm going to Togo.
Togo!
Togo, Togo, Togo, Togo!
You're going to Togo...
and you're carrying
a refugee bag.
[Cab driver laughing]
CAB DRIVER: You're traveling
out of the country?
Like this?!
Like this?!
No problem.
My only concern is to
drop you off at the airport.
Then they can do with you
whatever they like.
Help me fix the mirror well!
The side mirror,
do it!
Closer!
I want to provoke you to talk!
Provoke me?
- Talk!
- Must we talk?!
CAB DRIVER:
You must talk!
KOSSI:
Why?!
Because I want you to talk!
I'm happy!
I provoked him!
What is all of this?!
What is all of this?!
Togo, Togo!
Togo, Togo!
Can you tell me
what the hell is going on?!
We've just missed our flight!
We left our cab
with our bags inside.
We didn't miss any flight.
We didn't miss any flight.
That was not my own flight.
You understand.
That was not my flight.
Taking me back to what?!
- Togo!
- To Togo?!
You want to go back to Togo?!
You want to go back to Togo,
what do you know about Togo?!
See, I'm working on something,
right now...
and all I need from you
is your loyalty and trust.
And if all these things is
too much for you to carry,
you can go back, now!
I got us a beautiful place,
you will love it.
But first...
one more stop.
KOSSI: (Narrating) Changing
$100 bill is one thing...
but changing...
10,000!
[Chuckles]
You're holding big money now,
my friend.
That's good.
Maybe I should go
somewhere else.
No, no, no, no...
See...
Even if you go,
you'll come back.
Our price is the best.
I swear to God.
Please sit down.
Sit down, please.
Just one minute.
One minute.
[♪♪♪]
My friend!
There's a problem.
You see this your dollar...
is 1996.
This is the recent one.
It's always 10 Naira less.
I'm saying the truth,
ask anybody.
It's 10 Naira less.
Pleasure doing business
with you!
KACHI:
Kossi, you live here now?
KOSSI:
This is me...
Head of Operations.
I am in charge.
Emmanuel...
this is you.
Muhtar...
and Kachi
you're here.
Emmanuel will
follow my orders...
and you two will
follow Emmanuel's orders.
The way it is on the board...
it is the exact way that
it's going to be, but...
We are all the same.
Hmm?
We are all the same.
If we do these things
very well...
we're heading straight
to the top!
Kachi...
You may have to resign, yeah?
KACHI:
Done!
How much are they paying me?
I'll resign, too.
From what?
You don't have a job, Muhtar!
I mean, I'll stop looking...
Shut up, Muhtar!
KOSSI:
But first!
First thing first...
Image!
You see all these rags
that we are wearing.
We have to put them all together
and burn them to ashes.
Burn everything!
We need to look the part.
Hmm?
Because when people see us...
they think we're rich.
And when we give them money,
they won't even have
any reason to think at all.
Please...
choose your own style.
Do not look like anybody.
Because you're at your best...
when you are yourself, hmm?
KOSSI: (Narrating) I saw this
place on Mama Bear's phone.
So, it must classy.
[Indistinct lyrics]
[♪♪♪]
Ahh!
I like everything!
[♪♪♪]
Excuse me!
How much is this bag?
Very good choice.
It's $5,500 only.
- DELIVERY GIRL: Hello!
- Hello!
We have a delivery
for Miss. Sonia Badu.
Okay, where's it?
We have to see an ID, please.
TV VOICE:
I really can't keep up!
When did stupid
become a style?
Hey! What's going on,
that's my bag!
There's a delivery for you.
A what?
TV VOICE: Man,
the only Don you ever had...
Delivery!
Thank you!
- Have a good day, madam.
- Thank you!
Sonia!
Do you mind?!
Is Femi in the doghouse?
Even if!
Ify!
I can hear your brain breathe!
Oh my God!
Did Femi send this?
Mama Bear?
Papa Bear?
You better start talking, Sonia.
[Sighs]
It's Femi's house boy.
[Exclaims]
What if he stole it?
Did you see
how it was delivered?
It came straight from the store.
He paid for this.
But you know...
if you don't want it
I can just take it.
Oh.
[♪♪♪]
What is this thing?
This?!
This is champagne!
It tastes like water
from raw pap.
You will like it.
KOSSI: You know how all
those suicide bombers
are supposed to get virgins.
when they get to paradise.
This is paradise!
And you don't have to bomb
anybody.
Just come to Lagos.
KACHI:
Yeah.
Best part...
none of them are virgins.
Yeah! Very true.
How the fuck you know, man?
- Me?
- Ha.
KOSSI:
Not you.
I'm talking to your
grandfather's spirit.
This is the closest
you have ever been to any girl,
not fully dressed, Muhtar.
- Me?
- Mhmm.
Again... not you.
Look at that girl, right there!
KOSSI: Muhtar!
You wanna go talk to her?
EMMANUEL:
Go!
It's easy!
Just tell her
what you like about her.
- Don't teach me nothing.
- Uh.
I know what to do!
Pay attention!
Shabba!
Hello, how are you?
Hello...
[Laughter]
KOSSI: (Narrating) And as we were
having the time of our lives...
this was happening on
the other side of town.
That came in this morning.
What's the trail on this?
CAPTAIN:
None.
They're that good.
TOYE: But,
the machine didn't pick up anything?
That's your problem now,
detective.
Let me know what you find.
I'm leading this?
At some point, a man
has to lose his virginity.
And I do not see you wearing
a white collar, so...
yes, your first lead.
Thank you, mam.
KOSSI: (Narrating) The good counterfeit
will pass from person to person
and stores to stores.
They usually don't get noticed
until they reach the bank.
Now, the bank has agencies
that will compare the notes
for tendencies,
so they can trace
where the fake is coming from.
That's where these guys come in.
The first step is
usually a shakedown
of the usual suspects.
My bill was so good,
it took them
completely off track.
Thinking it must be coming
from the guys at the top.
TOYE:
Yeah! The regular.
Money laundering.
KOSSI: (Narrating)
Detective Toye...
he's a brilliant,
but troubled man.
She gave me the ring back.
Now, she's talking about going
to grad school in America.
I mean, I make one mistake,
one mistake!
She calls off the engagement?!
KOSSI: (Narrating) This investigation
is not the only headache
for Detective Toye...
His personal life is also
going through some rocks.
[♪♪♪]
Kachi, what is this?
What is the mean...
Listen! See, Muhtar!
Look, all it takes...
for this ship to wreck,
burn and sink
is one single faulty bill.
Just one!
So if you're cutting,
make sure it's a perfect cut.
And if you are pasting,
make sure it is
a flawless paste.
very strip straight, please!
Because, you cannot defend
a fake out there...
but a perfect copy,
you can fight for!
TOYE: I can't believe
you're leaving so soon.
Leaving me here all alone.
OYIN:
Are you sure about that?
[Clears throat]
So...
How's the ticket?
Expensive.
You know, I have a bonus
coming in soon.
That should be able
to take care of that.
You don't have to do that.
I know I don't have to,
but I want to.
I want it to be
my responsibility.
Again.
See, Oyin it's just...
Whose is this?
What is it?
It's a printed $100 bill.
Really?
I don't know.
Oh!
It's probably for Kossi.
He has an obsession
with printing junk.
God, I miss him.
[♪♪♪]
KOSSI:
Mr. Abu!
You are ready for
the business, aye?
Hey!
Come, let's go!
Come, let's go!
Come on.
KOSSI: Abu, what is...
What is going on?!
- KOSSI: Abu!
- Come on.
How much is this?
50,000.
Where did you get this money?
I don't know what this
has to do with you.
The last time you came...
you changed $10,000.
Now, you've come back.
$50,000.
What kind of business
do you do?
Where is your office?
I swear to God!
We don't like thieves
around here!
Who's the thief?
You talk...
or we make you talk.
It's up to you.
I will tell you everything
that you want to know.
Hmm.
I was a house boy in Abuja,
for Mustafi.
The former Governor?
[♪♪♪]
I want five Naira
off the market price.
My friend, 15 Naira.
This dollar, is old dollar.
No, Shagari, you have
not impressed me at all.
You have not.
I want 10!
Plus delivery service.
I call you...
I tell you where the dollar is,
you send the money to me.
Deal?
My friend, no problem.
No problem.
You can change big dollars?
Come on!
Everybody comes to me!
One million dollars,
two million dollars, no problem.
No problem.
I have way more than that.
My very good friend!
God brought you to me!
Shagari!
SHAGARI:
My very good friend!
[♪♪♪]
Hello Hammed...
I need you to call Johnson,
over at immigration.
Have him run a
flight check on a Kossi.
K-O-S-S-I
As in Singapore, India.
Get everything you can
in the last two months.
I'm on my way to the office.
[♪♪♪]
Babe, uhm...
It's not what you think.
I can explain this.
She, uhm...
just came around to say hello,
and uhm...
Okay, please!
Just sit down.
Hear me out!
Just sit for a second, please.
Oh, fuck!
You didn't even ask
any questions.
You just walked in and...
SONIA: What the fuck are
you talking about, Femi?!
I saw you kissing and doing shit
with some fucking whore!
Babe...
are you going to believe
your eyes
or what you think you saw
or are you going to trust me
on this one?
[♪♪♪]
HAMMED: We had 109 Kossi's
depart in the last two months.
Hold that thought.
Do you think those two
came from the same source?
At the least,
it can't be ruled out.
TOYE:
All right.
Let's get a road manifest
for the same period.
Okay.
You know, detective...
looking at the manifest by road,
we could be talking about
over 2,000 names.
And your point is?
That's a whole lot of names.
You have to treat every crime
like the crime of the century.
You know why?
Because you never know
what you'll find.
Frankly, I don't care
if it's a million names.
Go get them.
[♪♪♪]
[Knocking on door]
FEMI:
Sonia, please.
[Music playing in background]
[Taking deep breaths]
You know what...
you've got 10 seconds
to open this door.
If you don't,
I'll leave and that's it!
Will you fucking open this door!
10!
9!
Open the door!
Open the fucking door!
Babe, don't worry about this.
He'll be gone in 60 seconds
and we can go to the club
and have some fun.
Okay?
KOSSI: Look at all these girls
here, tonight!
Kossi, we should live here!
You're gonna get
slapped again, yeah?
[Cheering and laughing]
MUHTAR:
It's the pap water, again!
This is because
we're celebrating!
Today, our business took
a turn for the moon!
The moon!
I am ready to enjoy
this journey.
To a ton of money!
TOGETHER:
To a ton of money!
[Laughter]
[♪♪♪]
Oh my God!
What, what, what is it?
[♪♪♪]
KOSSI:
Mama Bear!
Oh, hi!
Hello.
How are you?
Fine, thank you.
Is that your friend?
Yes, this is Ify.
Oh.
Ify.
KACHI:
Kossi!
You know,
I was calling your number and...
you did not pick,
so, I thought I...
had a wrong number.
- Yeah, maybe.
- Oh.
[Nervous laugh]
See...
I'm over there.
At the VIP.
You wanna come?
So we can talk.
Can I think about it?
Yeah, sure, sure!
- Sure.
- Okay.
Take your time.
Take your time.
20 seconds...
30 seconds...
Any time,
just take it, yeah!
Okay.
[Clears throat]
Excuse me.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
This is Mama Bear!
So, these are my people,
yeah.
Is everything okay?
Um, I never got to thank you
for the bag.
Ah, oh yeah?
Do you like it?
It's gorgeous!
But...
I'll have to give it back.
Oh, yeah.
KOSSI: (Narrating) It was clear that
she just wanted to make him jealous.
But, you know what they say...
"Opportunity favors
the prepared man."
I have money now.
I mean, that shirt cost me
1,800 real dollars.
That's $100 more
than my perfume.
The people
at The Polo Avenue promised
it will catch me a big fish.
Now, Sonia?
She is a mermaid!
Are you sure you really
want to return this bag?
- Hmm?
- Um-hmm.
Hmm.
But,
First thing first...
this bag
is not empty.
Empty.
Open it.
No!
Open this bag, now!
Or I'll be forced...
to use force.
What's stopping you?
Hmm.
[♪♪♪]
[Birds squawking]
Aye!
I'm in company of bad boys!
Bad boys!
Last night was the
greatest night of my life!
And you just missed her.
- Is this boy lying or what?
- Don't ask me.
[Laughing]
Who was that?
The girl from where
we changed the money.
I pulled her in!
KOSSI:
Are you fucking serious?
How the fuck do you
not use your head?
- Relax, man.
- Huh?
Do you know
what you have done?
You just brought your shit
to the eating table, man.
That girl probably
can't find her way anywhere.
- She can't even see!
- What?!
KOSSI:
Kachi!
So what you're telling me now,
is after all this money...
you cannot even get
a fucking hotel?
So, I have to stay
in my own house...
worrying about Shagari invading
my space with 1,000 swordsmen?
- You tell me!
- [Kachi exhales]
EMMANUEL:
You know what we need?
I'm telling you,
I trust my instincts.
So you want me to arrest a guy
because you think
he's a criminal?
I know what I saw!
Whatever it is,
it has to be illegal!
What's going on?
Femi here wants me
to arrest a guy
because, the guy disrespected
him in the club last night.
The fuck?!
That's not it.
I'm sorry, I'm wrong.
The guy also spent an
obscene amount of money,
which he thinks
is illegal money.
Go take a nap,
you look a mess.
Whatever happened in that club,
I'm sure you caused it.
I caused it, really?
Our houseboy, spending money,
buying bottles of champagne
at the club!
Putting moves
on my girlfriend
right in front of my face,
and...
- It's my fault?!
- Wait!
Kossi?!
Tipping the bouncer $100
to assault me
and carry me out of the club!
- And that is my fault?!
- Wait, wait, wait, hold on...
$100 bills?
Do you have a description
of this bouncer?
ROCKY:
How can I help you?
We're working on something
right now, and...
- we need protection.
- You know?
We need you around the clock.
Do you have any special skill
for that kind of job?
CLUB BOUNCER:
Hey, Rocky!
Some people here to see you!
I'm coming.
Give me one minute.
TOYE: We're detectives from the
Special financial crimes unit.
I'm Toye,
and this is my partner, Hammed.
Uh, how can I help you?
We are in pursuit of a guy
called Kossi.
We learned that he was here,
in your club, last night.
We also learned that he...
gave you a tip.
Dollars.
The club is always dark.
I'd like to remind you...
lying to an officer is a crime,
with serious consequence.
Officer, I get tips every night.
It's nothing.
Mind if I have a look
at the money?
I exchanged it, already.
Where?
Or do you remember
who changed it for you?
Well, the window was crowded,
and...
[♪♪♪]
Where did you change the money?
I will triple your salary,
if you can work for us...
starting from now.
[♪♪♪]
ABUBAKAR: Which one,
is it dollar or pounds?
TOYE:
Have you seen this guy?
What did he do?
My friend.
This guy is flooding the streets
with high quality counterfeit.
Dollars!
TOYE:
Look well.
No, no.
Are you sure?
Yes, sure.
I've never seen him.
If you ever see him...
you give me a call.
[Phone ringing]
KOSSI:
Hello, Abubakar!
You need what?
One million dollars.
One million dollars?
You're serious?
You have the cash?
I have the cash...
right here with me.
KOSSI:
Okay.
How about Friday?
Friday is good.
KOSSI:
No problem.
Thank you, my friend.
Thank you, Abubakar.
TOGETHER:
One million dollars!
Yeah, baby!
Have you heard
from your house boy?
I'm sorry, I...
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
Have you heard from Kossi?
Since he left?
Not even one phone call?
Alright, fine,
if he calls you...
you have to call me immediately,
okay please?
He's a criminal,
in a world of trouble, baby.
[Chuckles]
[♪♪♪]
Kossi, what are you still
doing here?
Making money.
What do you do?
I make money.
I heard you.
How?
I print my own money.
Kossi!
I know.
You know,
anyone can be a monster.
Except you.
[Phone ringing]
Um listen, can I call you back?
Not that
it's any of your business,
but I'm having dinner
with a friend.
Okay, bye.
Listen, Kossi,
that was Toye on the phone,
he's been looking for you
everywhere.
Kossi,
you're in really big trouble.
Does he know
that I'm here?
No, no,
of course not.
Listen...
you need to be really careful.
Toye, he has a lot of resources
at the agency,
and sooner or later
they will find you.
I have to go.
Please, call me.
[♪♪♪]
SONIA: I think we actually
need to take things slow.
This is all too strange for me.
It wasn't strange
the other night.
I had too much champagne!
In wine, there's always
the real truth.
If you don't believe me...
Then, let us drink again.
[Phone ringing]
Emma...
What is it?
Don't you think you
should be here?
So I can hold your hand
or something?
This money is stacking up fast.
We need to get everything
done by tomorrow.
Are you telling me
after all this time...
you don't know what to do?
I'm just saying that...
I don't know
what you have going on,
that's more important than
what we have going on.
Don't worry.
I'll see you soon.
[♪♪♪]
Let us go away...
to somewhere new, you know.
Beautiful.
Quiet.
And I have a deal tomorrow.
After then...
you won't have to worry
about anything.
For sure not money.
Mama Bear.
[♪♪♪]
Hey, look!
That's the bastard!
[♪♪♪]
[Knock on door]
Good morning, boss.
But, you people are aware
that we have neighbors
everywhere.
Huh?
What is this?
The first person step in here,
they see all of these things.
So, you're telling me
that there's no locker,
or safe or something,
to put all these things in?
Rocky is at the door.
Nobody can enter this place.
And we don't even talk
to anyone here!
Emmanuel...
I don't want all these things
here.
EMMANUEL:
What do you want me to do?
You have to check the money
before it can enter the safe.
You're asking me
what to do?
Emmanuel!
What do I want you to do?
Oh, okay!
How about you take
all the money...
take everything!
Put them together...
stack them
then put them outside.
Now, get a sign post
and write...
"Money Printing Shop".
How about that?
Put these things away!
What... what...
what is this?
Put this in the locker,
locker is over there!
Tell me why am I looking
at a report about
counterfeit money machine
seizures...
and I haven't got one
single report from you?!
Maybe I shouldn't have assigned
you lead on this case.
I do not think you're ready!
See me in my office, now!
[♪♪♪]
CAPTAIN:
[Inaudible speech]
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
[Clears throat]
Hey, baby.
I came here for...
two things.
The other day you called me...
I lied that I was
with a friend, but...
I was with Kossi.
He confessed.
You love him like a brother.
I expected
you'd cover up for him.
Well, I don't know
who this Kossi is.
Besides...
if WE are going to be spending
the rest of our lives together,
I...
I need to be sure
what side I'm on.
I have an arrest warrant...
being processed.
He's going down
Friday night.
Hmm.
Thank God.
I...
bought my ticket.
I leave on Friday night.
[♪♪♪]
Hot off the press!
What is going on?
Listen, you need
to get out of here!
Out of Lagos.
Out of Nigeria. Please!
- What do you mean?
- Toye has a warrant!
The bastard is going down,
tonight!
- But you are leaving tonight?
- Kossi!
Are you listening to me,
you need to get out!
- Where will I go?!
- I don't know!
Listen,
I've been thinking...
do you have enough money
to charter a plane?
I think I have enough
to even buy a small one.
Great!
I will send you the details.
Kossi!
Toye will stop at nothing!
Assemble the team!
I need this wrapped up, quick.
Copy that!
Alright, go.
Just go.
Kossi!
You're fucking Sonia?!
I always knew
you were baddass!
[♪♪♪]
EMMANUEL:
960...
970...
980...
990...
1 million.
[♪♪♪]
KOSSI:
Go and get Rocky outside.
All the laptops, ink,
paper, clips, everything...
Clear this whole house, now.
Hmm.
Where are we going to?
I don't know.
My dear, the account
is now fully operational.
There's about $10,000 in it,
right now.
I love you, daddy!
MRS. MARTINS:
Isn't there something else...
Oh, yeah!
Umm... Oyin...
Mom, dad, I love you.
I'll have to call you
when I get to the airport.
- Okay, bye!
- Oyin!
Kossi!
Where have you been?!
Larry has been calling me,
they're about to give the plane
to someone else!
KOSSI: I just need to
make one more stop.
Okay, well...
there's no time, alright.
It's $15,000,
or you can pay in Naira.
Do you have the money?
KOSSI:
Yeah, I have the money.
Okay, so I need you to go
to the airport, straight away.
I've text you the details.
He's expecting you.
KOSSI: Okay,
but I will have to go home, first.
No, no, no!
Kossi, listen to me...
you cannot go home.
Toye is either at your house,
or on his way there...
do not go home!
Do not fucking go home!
[♪♪♪]
My good friend!
- How are you?
- Fine!
- You have the stuff?
- Yeah, I have it in the car.
Do you have the money?
Hey!
Bring it, quick!
350 million Naira,
right inside here.
KOSSI:
Give me one second.
One million...
dollars, eh.
Your request.
Uh, that's good.
Everything is okay.
But, just to be sure, mhmm.
I want to test the dollar.
To be sure it's real.
But, I told you the story
about the money.
It's not about the story,
my friend.
This is reality.
I'll drop a liquid on it...
If the dollar is real...
everything goes fine.
But, if the dollar is fake, eh,
it turns black.
Will it turn black?
Give me liquid!
Will it turn black?
[♪♪♪]
One time, my friend...
two times, my friend...
will it turn black?
[♪♪♪]
My good friend.
I...
- My friend!
- What?
It turned black!
You want to scam me
of 350 million Naira?!
Get him!
Put him in the car!
Throw him inside!
I'll show you
how we deal with thieves!
[Indistinct yelling]
[♪♪♪]
HAMMED:
What do we do?
[♪♪♪]
[Groaning]
[Panting]
SHAGARI:
Thief!
I told you,
I don't like thieves.
You've stolen
a lot of my money.
You can take anything else...
my wife, my children...
they reduce my money, too.
But, when you steal my money?!
What I do to you...
your hand will never
be able to hold money, again.
[Kossi grunting and coughing]
[♪♪♪]
Hello!
Fatima...
don't do that.
I know you've been
trying to call me.
I'll explain everything,
when I see you.
Can I see you?
Fatima!
FATIMA:
I've missed you.
I miss you, too!
So much that,
I want to see you.
Next week.
When we get back on land.
On land?
Where are you?
We're at the beach house,
in Satellite.
So, you think some ocean
will keep me from seeing you?
[Boat engine revving]
[♪♪♪]
[Grunting]
There were other
five house boys there.
And only two of us knew
where the money room is...
we knew the police
were coming.
And we packed
as much as we could,
and I came to Lagos.
[Groaning and panting]
[Screaming]
[♪♪♪]

ABUBAKAR:
Hold him, tight!

Stop the music!
Stop the music!
Did I hear something?
Sorry, sorry, sorry,
I must be getting old!
You're angry?
Don't be angry.
Continue!
Shhh! One word and
I'll blow your head off!
Where are you keeping him?
Get in, get in, get in.
- [Gunshot]
- [Groaning]
[Labored breathing]
- [Gunshot]
- [Groaning]
[Knocking]
Untie him.
Where's the money?
Huh?

[Kossi groaning]
[Laughter]
Tonight there's no sleep.
[Indistinct talking]
ABUBAKAR:
Hey!
Hey!
I swear, this is war!
[♪♪♪]
Come! There's a fucking problem!
Come now!
What's happening?

[Indistinct yelling]

ROCKY:
Get back!
Back!
Back!
FATIMA:
Kachi!
Fati!
Fatima!
[Indistinct]
TOYE: You know you don't have to
go, right?
Besides, if you leave,
how am I supposed to survive?
I've been thinking about this,
long and hard...
kinda like my,
you know...
Sorry.
December 384
Kossi?
TOYE:
So, Oyindamola...
Abake...
Martins.
I've decided that my world
revolves around you.
Your happiness will be
my daily responsibility.
If you agree to marry me...
again...
I will dedicate my whole...
[♪♪♪]
[Beeping]
Excuse me!
You need to open that door,
I need to get through.
Do you have a reservation?
Relax...
I'm a detective with the
special financial crimes unit.
There's a man about
to board that plane,
I need to stop him!
That still doesn't give you
access to the tarmac!
I'm sure it's him!
A 100% sure it's him!
The EAU Hanger.
Please, the order
has to come in, right now!

Excuse...
Everybody, hands up!
