Brotherhood (2022) Movie Script

Aunty! Can we help you?

Alright. If you move…

Give me everything you

have! Give it to me!

- Suzuki.

- Fast!

- I'm coming!

- Fast!

- I will shoot!

- Blood of Jesus! I'm coming.

God save us!

- Jesus!

- God will not save you.

Go! Move!

Stand up.

Let's go.

Move out!

Kalashnikov!

Don't forget your friends!

- Please don't forget us.

- Don't forget your friends.

What are you doing?

You better be careful.

Kala.

- Kala.

- My guy.

- Don't forget me. If you need me…

- That's not a problem.

We will be in contact. If there's

any job, don't forget me also.

I'm there for you.

- Aunty!

- Thank you God.

Aunty!

Thank you God.

- Aunty, you have gotten bigger!

- You too!

You have gotten bigger!

My darling.

- Aunty.

- I am so happy to see you. God bless you.

- Is this your car?

- My car? No, it's a market truck.

It's a market truck.

Thank you God!

- Some tomatoes have fallen into the trunk.

- Thank you God!

Don't worry.

We will rearrange

it, my darling.

Thank you God!

Ah! That you were able to leave

that place safe and sound,

I give thanks to God.

My dear, so many

things have changed.

That Sikira that

used to help me,

little Sikira from back then,

- Small Sikira, the little girl?

- Small?

Sikira is no longer

is no longer small.

If you see Sikira,

her breasts are huge!

If you see her!

You see Sikira, you see breasts.

Her breasts are so big.

And to God be the Glory, your

brother just got promoted.

Today is his first day at work.

- Really?

- Yes.

Hello, sir?

Okay.

Excuse me, sir. Officer

Daniel will see you now.

- Thank you very much.

- You're welcome.

Adewale Adetula.

Yes, sir!

- Welcome to the squad.

- Thank you, sir!

We're ready, sir.

Okay. Don't thank me. Strap

up, we're heading out now.

- Yes, sir.

- Alright! Move it! Let's go!

Please, what is this they

have put on our team?

They have put a weak

link on this team.

- Can he even survive the day?

- Come on. Simon, be nice.

Wow.

Hi. My name is Efe.

Sorry, don't pay

attention to Simon.

- Alright, let's go.

- Thank you.

Wale. Nice to meet you.

Move your bodies!

It's okay.

- Who is this?

- What is this?

- Impossible!

- My guy!

Kala!

- My guy!

- What's up?

What you did is unfair!

You're around and you

didn't inform the boys.

I just got back.

- Put me down. Don't injure me.

- My guy, my guy!

Hey, whose motorcycle is that?

Are you teasing me?

It belongs to me.

Your boy has got this.

Let's ride this, my guy.

Akin!

Akin, where are you going?

Look, I don't want trouble.

The police officers are there.

Akin!

Who is laughing?

Am I joking with you?

Get back to work now.

Break!

Let's go.

Clear!

Look, I have dropped the gun.

Okay? So give me your hand.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be worried.

God save me from all this.

Calm down.

- Come on, give me your hand.

- I am coming.

Yeah.

Calm down.

Get them out. Get

them out of here! Go!

We need to go.

- Well done.

- Thank you, sir.

Beginner's luck.

Well done, newbie. Well done.

Well done. Let's go! Move!

Akin!

Akin, my boyfriend

who forgot about me!

Go away!

I was gone for a little while

and you already have two kids.

That's not it. You left

me when you went to jail.

You have to understand

that I am only human.

You are still beautiful.

Thank you.

Akin! See your muscles! Wow.

Aunty Morenike.

I haven't seen you in a

while. I thought you moved.

- We haven't left.

- You haven't left?

You are taking The Ojuju

Boy's threats for a joke?

Please, go home.

We have heard you.

You haven't heard what

they having been doing?

- I said leave.

- Not a problem.

Akin!

- Your stomach has became smaller.

- Thank you. We'll see later, right?

- That's fine. I'll see you around.

- Alright.

Leave me alone.

- Aunty?

- Yes?

Who do they call

"The Ojuju Boys"?

May God save us from

these Ojuju Boys.

We have been hearing about them.

We didn't know they

would get to us so soon.

Not until we got a letter from

them. Look, they sent me a letter.

May God protect us

from armed robbers.

These boys are insane.

There's something I want

to talk to you about.

But I'm not sure you

will listen to me.

What I want to say is, considering

the situation of things at the moment,

maybe we should move to your twin

brother's place for some time,

until things settle.

Aunty, don't bother.

You know I won't go.

Why are you always

acting this way?

Cool down. Look...

He is the one at the door.

Help me get the door.

Open the door for him.

- Policeman.

- Criminal.

God help me.

What's wrong with

the both of you?

Aren't you born of

the same mother?

Why are you both

acting like this?

You have become more like enemies. Like

a cat and mouse. Like oil and water.

What is the matter?

What is wrong?

- Wale.

- Ma.

I told your brother to move to

your house until things settle.

But he refused. Can

you please talk to him?

He is not a child.

If he says he is not leaving,

then let him be and let us go.

Is that what you have to say?

But I raised you both with love.

I raised you with love. Okay.

All I know is, you both are supposed

to be your brother's keeper.

- Who's keeper?

- I don't like how you are behaving.

Does he keep

anything but secrets?

Someone who keeps the fact he

has a twin brother a secret.

My dear, there's

garri under the bed.

You know you are dependable.

To collect is all he knows.

What's up with you?

Policeman, when you collect bribes on

the express, does anyone bother you?

Drop that, motherfucker.

Do you want to die?

Search everywhere. You

won't find anything.

- Shut up.

- Are you mad?

What are you saying?

You don't know who we are?

We are the ones who

control this place.

Goldie, give me a chance. Let

me send him to the other side.

- Calm down.

- What?!

Am I seeing correctly?

Kalashnikov?

What?! Cobra?

My guy! How are you?

Is that you?

Motherfucker. Wait.

You guys are The Ojuju Boys?

- Yes, we are.

- Impressive.

Guys, let's go somewhere

else. This is my friend.

- Your prayers got answered tonight.

- What's up?

Kala.

- Oh, boy...

- You said this is your friend?

Your god has saved you.

Calm down.

- Your god has saved you.

- Calm down.

I would have gotten rid of you.

Where have you been?

I have been in Kirikiri prison.

- Kiri?

- Yes, I just got out today.

Cobra! Move it.

I am coming. You know what?

Let me have your number.

We will be in touch.

- Izra The Cobra!

- Shh.

Shout, so it looks like

we did an actual stick up.

Yes.

- Someone save me!

- Cry.

Someone save me!

Izra?

There have been a series of high profile

car-jackings in areas around Lagos state.

We suspect that these cars are being

dismantled and sold on the black market.

Even the commissioner's

Bentley disappeared.

No leads. No trace.

- Yes, Officer Wale.

- Ma'am.

Ma'am, I don't know

if the team is aware

of the operations of a certain

group called "The Ojuju Boys."

Quiet.

We are aware.

Ma, how come we are not

doing anything about it?

That is the job for

the local police.

We are an elite squad.

We do not handle matters

concerning area boys.

Officer Monsurat, I would

like to have an update on

the latest car-jackings.

As soon as you are

done with this.

Yes, sir.

Let's move.

Ekeng, I'll see you

on Saturday, right?

Of course, I wouldn't

miss such a party.

Hey.

Don't take it personal, Officer

Monsurat is strange like that.

Nah, it's fine.

But, for what's it's

worth, I believe you.

It's actually crazy because

my aunt had to leave her place

and stay in my place for a couple of days

because they were attacking the area.

And you know they

sent a warning ahead.

Do you know the guts

it takes to do that?

I know the D.P.O

of that area, yeah.

So I could link

you guys together.

And once he knows you are from us, he

will be more than excited to help you.

- That will be super helpful. Thank you.

- I got you.

Thank you.

What's going on on

Saturday though?

Oh, it's Officer

Daniel's birthday.

You are coming, yeah?

Cause everybody is invited.

Oh yeah. Of course. Of course.

For the boss, I have to be there.

Cool. See you then.

- See you on Saturday.

- Alright. Bye.

- Kalashnikov!

- Cobra, my guy!

My guy!

- Is this you?

- You are looking good.

- You are living the good life.

- Look who is talking?

Come. Come meet my guys.

- I'm seeing girls.

- Come.

My guy!

Kehinde, why are you

showing off? Lay low.

Leave me alone.

Mind your business.

Take this idiot home.

He is showing off too much.

Take it easy.

That idiot they're

taking away is Kehinde.

He is very stupid

but he is loyal.

Meanwhile, that's Poison.

He is a completely insane.

This is Emma. Townsman. Osho.

Isn't this your friend

that was carrying a bat?

It is him.

Yes, it is him.

This man is Kalashnikov.

He is too bad! My guy!

What kind of name is that?

- What is Kakaaki?

- You haven't heard of Kalashnikov?

You have been hearing of AK47,

that's the person who invented it.

Akin right here is

extremely intelligent.

He is so smart!

And he has a twin.

The three of us ran things

in Oshodi that year.

Akin would come up with plans for

what we would eat, could steal…

No mom or dad.

Orphans!

You know how it goes.

My respects to you guys.

- What would you like to have?

- Don't bother, I'm good.

Please, lets quickly

discuss something outside.

Okay. Let's go.

- Chairmen. Much respect!

- Sir.

- Respect.

This guy's name

doesn't make sense.

What is "Kakaaki"?

- Who's that?

- What's that?

That guy was just

throwing money everywhere.

You wouldn't be able to

handle the way we party.

Is he that rich?

I swear. It's not that way.

So…

I have observed how

you guys operate.

- Yeah?

- I can help you guys upgrade.

What do you mean?

So I have a friend from jail.

Actually, he isn't a

friend. He is my brother.

He used to drive a bullion van before

he got in trouble and landed in jail.

How much do you think

a bullion van carries?

- Maybe up to five million?

- Are you joking?

Guy, a bullion van carries

between 20 to a 100 million.

So if your guys and my people

put our resources together

we could rob one bullion van.

It would be like we robbed a

bank. Everyone would cash out.

I'm liking this idea.

I am really liking this idea.

But this our crew…

we don't do things carelessly.

We have a structure.

We have a CEO. Right. Shadow.

But he is getting old.

This type of things interested

him before he retired.

You know what's going to happen?

I'll introduce you to Shadow, and

you'll tell him what you just told me.

I would really appreciate it.

You are my friend.

Ever since you came to my place,

that's all I have been thinking about.

- Yeah, man.

- I mean this could work out.

- I understand what you mean.

- It'll definitely work out.

Izzie? I'll see you later.

This is our first lady, Goldie.

You were looking at my ass

when I was dancing, right?

How did you see me?

Weren't you pretending

not to see me?

You…

Can you dance?

Just say you want

to dance with me.

Be direct about it.

- Akin, calm down. Calm down.

- Oh wow.

You guys have a CEO?

- You have a First Lady?

- Yes.

Calm down.

Happy birthday to you!

Happy birthday! Happy birthday!

Happy birthday to you!

How old are you now?

Yo, my people!

When I first met my boss,

I was a young officer

and I did not want to

be in the police force.

But I met Officer Daniel

and he told me "Since you

don't want to be here,

I will frustrate you

until you leave."

And he did by

playing pranks on me.

But today I am proud to say…

-I'm so sorry -Oh, no.

- I'm so sorry.

- It's fine. Thank you.

One of the few good men who do this

job for the love of the country.

Hey! You are not her type. She

doesn't do broke policemen.

Simon.

Please, don't mind him, he was

interested in her but she rejected him.

- Really?

- I'm sorry.

- You know we're cool.

- Wow.

I need a drink.

Do you see a waiter here?

Go to the kitchen and grab a

drink. There are plenty there.

And with all of this, sir,

we are saying happy birthday.

Nobody can do this job like you.

Yes.

Honorable man! Hear, hear!

Hip, hip, hip!

- Hurray!

- Hip, hip, hip!

Hurray!

Hi.

Do you mind if I help you out?

Officer?

You want to wash plate?

Of course. I'm actually

really good at this.

See, I can see there is

still some oil on it.

She has always been…

Oil where?

Okay.

- Come and do it.

- Alright.

Best in washing plates.

So I wash. You rinse.

Team work…

makes the dream work.

Maybe I should tell them to bring

more plates since you are in the mood.

No, I'm trying to help. I'm

not trying to get a new job.

- I'm just joking.

- My name is Wale.

Kamsi.

Nice to meet you.

There you go.

Who here, even if…

I didn't know she had

invited all these rascals

Boss, you will miss us!

- Ta!

- You will miss us!

I'll be farming in my village.

So no one is going

to say anything.

With everything these guys

have done in all these areas?

You talk, you die.

Or they kill your whole family.

It's not worth it for them.

Mr. D.P.O, listen.

I am with you.

Whatever it takes

to get these guys.

If you hear anything, even the

littlest piece of information,

- I beg you. Thank you so much.

- It's alright.

- I appreciate this. Thank you.

- Not at all.

Well done. Thank you.

I know you all are stupid. Yeah.

I know you are fools, but…

If someone had told me

you'd act as foolishly

as you just did, I

wouldn't have believed it.

Because I don't see why you'll carry

out an operation that I didn't approve.

Number one. Boss.

We were not trying

to disrespect you.

We just thought we could

easily get it done.

We saw an opportunity and

we decided to take it.

Use wisdom and initiative

to get it done.

Initiative?

That's what you taught us.

If they ask, "Who has

initiative?" You will stand up?

The next time something

like this happens,

I will do something

I will regret.

I am talking and you

are wiping your face.

- What?

- Please don't be angry.

Get out of this place.

- Boss, we were...

- Shut up!

"Boss" my ass.

Boss!

Boss, well done!

Izra.

Boss.

This is my friend

I told you about.

Chairman.

So you're the guy with

the big plans, right?

So you want to upgrade us?

Who am I to upgrade you?

I just saw an opportunity

that would help all of us.

Sit down.

- What is your name?

- Akin.

What do you mean, Akin?

Boss, this is Kalashnikov. Kala.

Kala?

Let me hear your plans.

So I was talking

to this guy about

how much he thinks is

carried in a bullion van.

He said five to ten million.

Boss, up to 20 to 100 million is carried

in a bullion van heading to the bank.

Really?

You know that's why bullion

vans are heavily guarded, right?

Bro! I like you. You

are visualizing my plan.

I am not visualizing your plan.

So bro,

we will handle this mission

like it is a military mission.

Heavy presence.

Police officers do

not want to die.

Izra, do you trust this guy?

Boss, this is Kala.

We go way back.

Let me hear your plan.

So I have this friend.

He has driven bullion vans before,

so he knows how they operate.

Kala!

His name is Adura.

Then I have another guy.

Ikeja! Ikeja!

There is no where in Lagos

that He doesn't know.

My brother!

Then we will need tools.

I have tools. That

area is covered.

Chairman, I don't mean

you any disrespect but

my plug is an

ex-military expert.

The kind of weapons we will need

are on a completely different level.

If the police see

them, they will run.

- Where are the tools?

- You are standing on top of them.

Warrior.

This is good

So if we have all of them

everything is guaranteed?

Boss, that's confirmed.

And the sweet part is,

I have already mapped

out our first target.

Today it's elephant green,

tomorrow's it is crocodile red.

She'll buy it for 30,000,

and sew it for 50,000.

I am tired of it.

- I am angry.

- Why are you talking like this?

- I don't know what you want me to do.

- You know women and their trouble.

But you are still

complaining. You will be okay.

I'm exhausted.

Guy, move fast. Move fast.

Boss, it's just a garbage truck.

If you see what my wife puts me

through because of this asoebi matter…

Huh? I'm in trouble!

I'm in trouble!

- Everyone reverse! Reverse now!

- I'm in trouble!

Reverse! Reverse! Reverse!

Officers down!

We are under attack!

Send back up!

Send back up! We

are under attack!

Don't move! Stay low!

If you move I fuck you up!

Don't try it!

Make a move, I fuck you up!

Bring that fucking shit here.

Bring that gun!

That way.

- Out!

- Don't try it!

Move!

Get the fuck down! Come down.

Officers!

Down!

Down.

Hands behind your back.

Hands behind your back!

Sixty seconds!

Drop it!

Don't do anything, else I will

kill you. Have you lost your mind?

We are all out here hustling, bank

managers are relaxing in their homes.

You left your wife

and your children

to guard money that's insured.

If there are any bonuses,

do you get a part of it?

- Answer me!

- No, sir!

If everyone behaves,

no one will die today.

Let's go!

Let's move!

- Move!

Fuck you! He will die!

Move!

- Hurry, come on!

- Do you hear me? Fuck you!

Put it away.

- Let's go!

- Where is Kehinde and Poison?

- They didn't show up.

- One minute, guys!

Fast! Guys!

- C'mon, let's go!

- Move!

Guys I need speed!

Move! Move! Move!

Put everything.

What is wrong with you? Do

you want to fuck up my plan?

- Step back!

- Are you crazy?

- You know me! You know me!

- What is going on?

He shot someone!

And you want to discuss it here?

Is this the appropriate

place to discuss that?

Get in the car and let's get

out of here. Are you crazy?

- Everyone get in, let's move!

- Move!

Kala, behave! Behave!

Guys, fast!

Fast! We don't have time!

Everybody move!

Kamsi.

Kamsi?

Did you even sleep at all?

Yes, I did. I have to go though.

Where are you going?

I'm going home.

What's going on? You have been

acting kind of weird lately.

It's nothing, Wale.

I'm fine.

Ah, man.

Wale.

There's a little guy in there?

What if it's a girl?

Kamsi, why didn't

you say anything?

I was scared.

Hold on.

What are you looking for?

Give me your hand.

- Wale, what are you doing?

- Give me your hand.

Wale, what…

Kamsi, I love you so, so much.

Marry me.

This is crazy.

It's only been three months.

I have never been more sure

of anything in my entire life.

Kamsi, all my life,

I've felt alone.

I want to spend the rest of my life

with you. I am certain of that.

- Yes.

- Yes? Is that a yes?

Yes. Million times, a yes.

Damn. It's work.

One second.

Hello?

Thank you so much

for your patience.

However, I would

crave your indulgence.

As you can see, we are

still investigating.

So we must make sure we do not pass

the wrong message on to the public.

We are thankful that

no lives were lost.

One or two officers

were injured.

But that's it.

And, unfortunately, there is nothing

more that I can give you now.

So I would love for

you to be patient,

and make sure that the

information you are sending

to the general public isn't

one that would cause panic.

Boy.

I could not see their

faces. They were all masked.

Like masquerades.

Like masquerades?

Yes sir. Everything

happened so fast.

Sir! I ran the plate numbers

and they came back fake.

I thought so.

The insurance company is willing

to back up the investigation. Okay?

- So we need to give them a report.

- I am on it, sir.

- Morning, sir.

- How are you, Wale?

What's up? What's the update?

This is some big boy thing.

Not those small boys you

are always chasing around.

And how do you know they

are not connected to this?

RPG?

Fake license plates?

This is some big boys' stuff.

Not all those amateurish level.

Joker.

Hello?

D.P.O. I was just about

to call you actually.

Officer.

Okay.

I have something for you.

Really?

He was arrested in

a bar last night.

He got into a fight with

some boys over some girls.

Somebody identified him

as one of the Ojuju Boys.

Officer, what is up?

We haven't eaten

since last night. Why?

This is why I prefer prison.

- By now, I would have eaten breakfast.

- My friend, will you shut up!

Boss, it is not like that.

Mr. Kehinde? Right?

Thanks for your

patience. Well done.

It's terribly unfortunate that we have

to meet in these circumstances, sir.

I am really sorry. The name

is Officer Wale Adetula.

Yeah, I am here to help you.

I am here to help you.

You know what? This is

what will happen now.

I'll help you talk to them,

so they will let you go.

You have to regain your freedom.

Frankly, nobody should be

treated in this manner.

I just need a little piece

of information from you, sir.

Who are The Ojuju Boys?

Do I look like a snitch to you?

Put me in a cell right away,

because I have nothing to tell you.

I like being in the prison.

Kirikiri prison or the one in Ikoyi?

Any of the prisons are fine.

But that Ikoyi prison though…

The mosquitoes in that

Ikoyi prison are not normal.

They are almost like

you police officers.

Wait, Officer! I want

to tell you more.

Allow me give you more

gist as you leave. Wait.

That Ikoyi prison,

the water is so bad.

It is so smelly!

Everything will be fine.

This is how Shadow

and Izra do things.

See, this isn't like

your regular operations.

With the large amounts of money we

are moving, the police will find us.

I hope you know.

Listen,

I trust Shadow with my life.

I remember the day

like it was yesterday.

Some boys wanted to rape me.

I was there trying to

fight. Shadow appeared

and he killed all of them.

He rescued me.

He brought me into Ojuju.

Every Ojuju boy,

Shadow rescued them.

Every single person.

I don't trust anybody.

No one is an angel.

You trust me, right?

You are watching Arise News

with me, Adefemi Akinsanya.

Not more than a week has

passed since armed men

attacked a bullion van

convoy in central Lagos.

Making away with

50 million naira.

Since then, police have confirmed

no arrests have been made.

No suspects apprehended.

And many residents have been

asking how it's possible.

These men and the money they have

stolen appear to have disappeared.

At this rate we are forced

to believe that the police

- are in on these criminal activities.

- Come on!

-You can't- -Yes

You can't associate the

police with common criminals.

That is what it means!

-Those are mere fairy

grapevine, -If we can…

in trying to tarnish

- the image of the police!

- If we cannot not be...

Someone is here to see you.

Oh! Wale!

Yes, sir.

- How are you?

- Fine, thank you sir.

- Welcome.

- Thank you very much.

Kamsi, did I tell you how Wale

saved my life on the very first day

he joined the SWAT Unit.

Daddy,

you have told me this

story several times.

- This is a super cop here.

- My pleasure, sir.

Welcome. Wale, sit.

- Sit. Sit down.

- Thank you very much, sir.

- Wow, how are you?

- I am fine, thank you, sir.

Good.

Uh, Kamsi, bring

another Trophy for Wale.

Yes.

- How are you doing?

- I am very okay, sir.

Good.

Sir, I want to discuss something

very important with you.

Sir, since the first time

I set my eyes on Kamsi,

I realized I want to spend

the rest of my life with her.

Sir, I decided to

come here today,

to officially ask for

her hand in marriage.

Just after three

months at my birthday?

Sir, when a man knows, he knows.

Come, my dear girl.

When a man knows, he knows.

My first daughter.

Daddy's daughter.

Well. Sit down.

- Wale.

- Yes, sir?

Kamsi here is all I've got.

And you are a good man.

So if she says yes,

you have my blessing.

Thank you very much, sir.

- Thank you, sir.

- No.

- Get up. Get up.

- Thank you, sir.

Daddy's daughter.

Things have been happening.

Is it Akin that

bought all these?

And you accepted it?

And you know he doesn't

have a good paying job?

No! Don't say that.

Akin now has a good

job. A very good job.

He has changed a lot.

When he leaves in the morning,

he come back late at night.

- He has changed?

- Where does he work?

Let's not worry about that.

The important thing is

the wedding is the reason I

brought out all these clothes.

So you will pick

the color you want.

- So I will know how to buy it in bulk.

- Don't bother.

There's no colour.

There's no family colour.

There's no asoebi.

Aunty, this is the

invitation I brought for you.

You are the only one I am

inviting to this wedding.

So they don't say I

don't have relatives.

That's why I am inviting you.

And I know you, you will want

to invite the entire world.

Aunty, I don't want to

see any uninvited guests.

The invite admits one.

Thank you very much.

Pity.

You are so bold.

"So they don't say I

don't have relatives."

You wouldn't have invited me.

Even if you don't invite

me, what about your sibling?

What about your twin?

You won't invite him too?

Aunty, this woman and her family

- are very important to me.

- Oh, really?

I don't want riff-raffs

ruining my wedding.

Who are the riff-raffs?

- You know who I am talking about.

- Shut up!

Shut your dirty mouth!

If not for Akin, you

would be dead by now.

Five years awaiting trail

for a 14-year-old boy!

With those criminals

in that cell!

And for what?

Just because of you!

Just because he went to go steal

malaria drugs for you to get better.

Aunty, what about the second

time? And the third time?

What about the fourth time?

Did he go and steal

malaria drugs again?

This boy has been in and out of

prison for the last ten years.

Am I the one who sent him back?

Aunty, I have tried.

I have tried. You have tried.

We tried to get him out.

We did not try enough.

We didn't do enough, at all.

If you were to be in your brothers

shoes, by now, you would have been worse.

Actually, I wore the

exact same shoes, Aunty.

I wore those exact

same shoes because

Akin was not the only

one who had it bad.

I came from the

exact same streets.

I chose to do better.

I chose to be a better man.

Aunty, don't invite

Akin to my wedding.

I will not have him ruin

everything I have worked for.

- Thank you, ma.

- Wale!

You need to keep

your family close.

The bond of brotherhood

is unbreakable.

Wale!

What's causing the

quarrel between you both?

You are the reason.

You are indeed the

reason for the quarrel.

Is it out there that you got

all those goods for Aunty?

And the one with you too?

How did you get that?

What's with the

questions? Are you my Dad?

If you want to know,

I'm a mechanic.

- You're now a mechanic.

- Yeah.

Look, I am done with you.

You can mess up your life all you want.

Just don't take everyone down with you.

Off with your fancy english!

You had better find something

to do with your life

I'm also done with you.

I don't care about

you. Nobody does.

Pretentious fool.

What happened?

Did you quarrel

with your friend?

What is this?

He says he is getting married.

- Aunty!

- My darling is here!

How are you doing?

Who the hell are these guys?

Guy, I have no idea. But check

out this girl's shoes. Geez!

Congratulations!

Eh!

- You're a man now.

- What are you doing here?

Can't I come to

my twin's wedding?

You didn't want to invite us.

Your wife is beautiful.

A great girl.

I always pride myself to be

a good judge of character.

And that is why I gave you my

daughter's hand in marriage.

But tell me,

what kind of man hides

his twin brother?

Is there something

else you are hiding?

Sir, it is complicated.

My brother has always been

on the wrong side of the law.

He is always going

in and out of jail.

So your twin brother

is an ex-convict?

I don't have that

in your file here.

I joined the force because I

wanted to make a difference.

Then I realized that my

brother being in and out

of prison was not

going to help that.

Because telling the truth

would have destroyed my career.

So I decided to keep up the lie.

I'm terribly sorry, sir.

I completely understand if you

report me to Internal Affairs.

I am ready to face

the consequence.

Do you realize that you have put

me in a really impossible position.

In my 30 years of service

to the Nigerian Police,

I have kept a reputation

that is unquestionable.

Yes, sir.

So what am I supposed to do now?

Report my son-in-law?

To the authorities?

One week after marriage

to my pregnant daughter?

- Get out.

- I'm sorry, sir.

Wale.

Don't pay attention to these people.

Just don't mind them. They'll move on.

- Okay?

- Thank you.

Mr. D.P.O.

Officer, that guy

has started talking.

Mr. Kehinde.

Has mosquito bitten

you that badly?

I thought you liked it here.

Super cop.

Since everyone has forgotten me

here now that they have become rich,

what would you have me do? I

gotta find my way out, man.

I saw you with my people.

You were just living

large! The money is a lot!

I and who?

We have watched your wedding

video on the internet.

You married that beautiful girl.

Your babe is endowed.

She is so sweet.

It was my people around

you spraying you money.

You didn't know?

You know these people.

They are the ones.

The Ojuju Boys.

Idiot.

Hey man, make the arrangements

to get me out of here.

He who laughs last, laughs best.

- Five hundred thousand for a hookup?

- Is it your money that I used?

Then you gave her head.

- She is supposed to pay you.

- Is it your money?

She is supposed

to have paid you.

Get out of here!

How are you?

How are you doing?

Godwin.

My G.

How are you?

- Have you lost your bet?

- Kala!

What?

You know, with our job

we are supposed to

keep a low profile.

It is not everything we

do that people should see.

Is someone told me that

anyone would fuck up,

Kala, it shouldn't be you.

What sort of rubbish is this?

Boss, please don't be

angry. That is my brother.

My blood brother. Same

mother and father.

Nothing will happen.

Nothing will happen, right?

Nothing will happen.

He said nothing will happen.

If anybody fucks up my plans,

before I travel out

of this country,

it will be bloody.

Kala, did you hear me?

- Please sir, don't be angry.

- It will be bloody.

Don't be angry, boss.

- Don't be angry.

- The baddest boss.

New mission, guys.

A different type of job.

So there's this lady I was sleeping

with sometime ago. She works for a bank.

She has information about

money that is coming in.

About 100 million.

So we strike the bank and then

- we will formulate...

- No! Boss-

Kala!

Keep quiet.

The money still has to come.

So they will divert another set of

that same amount to another branch.

And they won't expect that

we will strike them again.

Meanwhile, we'll be

waiting for them.

We run it. We have 200

million in the bank.

- This your...

- We move.

This is greed.

- This your plan won't end well.

- Kala.

Please Kala, what

are you saying?

What?

Big Boss, look…

This mission doesn't make sense.

Who is your source? For this

information, who is your source?

She is a teller, but she knows

what goes on in the bank.

Boss, in a bank, there is a

department that handles cash movement.

Cash Management.

How do you know?

This is what I do.

Your source is not valid.

You want us to run two

operations in one day?

Kala, are you doubting my plan?

I don't have an issue with you.

But your plan doesn't make sense.

When you brought your own

plan, didn't we carry it out?

- That is different! I...

- How is it different?

- I planned it! I arranged...

- How is it different?

- You think that...

- Kala!

Move back. Kala, move back.

I said, move back.

If you don't check yourself,

I will beat you up.

- Who are you?

- I will beat you.

- What are you saying?

- Who are you?

Go back. Leave him.

It's enough. You, go back.

You see…

this 200 million…

if we get it, everybody

would be settled.

So…

We are in a democracy.

We will vote.

If you want us to do

this, raise up your hands.

They will get

beaten mercilessly.

Kala…

Just accept it!

Final.

Guy, go back there.

Izra.

- Kala?

- Big Boss.

Are you in or are you out?

Kala.

Kala, I am going to

ask you one more time.

Are you in? Or, are you out?

Boss, I won't do it.

Fuck this shit.

Fuck you! Leave! Fool!

Leave! What's the

matter with you?

Boss.

I will reach my contact

to set things up.

See, these people are mad.

They are crazy.

And this job that they

want to do, they will die.

Or they will end up in

prison. As for me, nothing…

Goldie, nothing can take

me to the prison again.

See, our last job

It was two million we each got.

And we exhausted it at

your brother's wedding.

If you sit plan this well,

why won't it work out?

See, Shadow and Izzie don't

have the brains you do.

And, honestly,

this is 200 million.

Two hundred million!

Dude, come on! Aren't

you in your right senses?

See, Shadow takes

his 20 percent.

Move.

You take your share.

I take my share. We

join it together.

Relocate.

Or aren't you tired of

being an armed robber?

I am tired of it.

Aren't we leaving anymore?

Aren't we leaving?

Push it.

Look at that.

Who are you looking for?

Ah!

Wala-ta!

Wale Adetula!

Dancing groom! Nice one!

How are you?

Wow.

Guy, what are you doing here?

You guys came to my wedding, so I

thought to come by and thank you guys.

Ah! Nice one! Thank you!

Akin isn't here?

You just missed him.

I just missed him?

- He just left.

- Really?

Yeah.

What happened?

This is Shadow's shop right?

How do you know Shadow?

Akin told me that you

guys work for Shadow.

Calm down. Are you scared?

Wale, I think you should leave.

Call Akin and find a

place to meet up with him.

- I should leave?

- Yes.

- Till we meet again.

- Till then.

Two robberies, back to back.

This isn't street parole.

How?

How will we do it?

How many people will we use?

How do we move the money?

Where do we move the money to?

Have you thought about it?

No, tell me. I am listening.

Look…

you're a pretty boy.

But you and I know that

strategy isn't your strength.

You know.

So you think I am stupid?

You think I am not smart.

That's why you like him, right?

Both of you…

figure this shit out.

Don't mess with my money.

Orphan.

Bloody orphan.

Aren't we all together?

Why didn't you tell

us you have a plan?

Your greed is too much. You

have always been like that

We used to steal Aunty

Morenike's rice and stew.

We introduced you to it,

but you went over board.

But Akin, you know if you want to eat a

frog, you need to find one that has egg.

You're a motherfucker.

I know that I get angry easily.

But you plan these

jobs. It's you.

Like how you told us to use a

motorcycle and a pickup truck.

So that if they catch anybody,

we don't lose everything.

That is all you.

- Stop teasing me.

- You are too smart!

You know! Guy!

Come on!

I have a plan.

But this one, we will do it

the exact way we plan it.

We will do it.

No.

We will do it how I say.

So.

Hey, Officer Wale, I thought

you wanted to see the boss.

Wale, you wanted to see me.

I just wanted to greet you sir.

Oh okay. I am heading for

the hospital right now.

Need to do my checkups.

- Well, I will see you when I get back.

- No problem sir.

Get this car out of here.

Hey! What are you

doing over here?

- Will you get out of this place!

- Ah!

My brother, don't be offended.

The bus broke down.

And I just changed

its carburetor!

- And I'm wondering, how is it that...

- No! Move it!

- Get it away!

- You don't understand what happened.

- I said get out of this place!

- That's exactly what I'm trying to do.

I said leave here now!

I'm trying to do that.

I'll start it now.

The bus is refusing to start.

No time to check time!

- Start to move!

- Please move!

Don't vex me today.

I'll finish you!

Drive! Drive quickly!

Everybody, stand down!

You're not going to

sleep here. If not…

Hey, don't vex me! Don't vex me.

Code red! Ongoing bank robbery!

Alright. Copy that.

Copy that. Over.

Move! Go!

Eagle! Explosives.

Eagle! Explosives!

Dude, explosives for what?

There's money in the ATM.

How much is in an

ATM?! Let us go!

Fall back! This is my mission!

They will call the police!

- Blow it up!

- Blow what? Are you crazy?

Come out of there! Move!

Move! Take cover!

Move!

Go! Go! Move! Move!

Eyes on the suspect.

I am in pursuit!

Ah, let's get them.

Get them! Let's go!

Faster! Drive faster!

Move!

Let's go! Move quickly!

- Move!

- Move it! Let's go!

Let's move it! Let's go!

Man, he's losing

blood. Let's move out!

Light it up! Let's go!

Are you cursed? Are you mad?!

- Are you mad?

- It won't be well with you!

- Are you crazy? Are you mad?

- Hey, hey!

- You are crazy!

- You're too greedy!

Leave me alone! You

are cursed, man!

- Leave me!

- Kala!

- Why are you holding me?

- Kala!

- Why are you holding me?

- Akin, it is me holding you.

- What happened?

- Calm down.

- I said what happened?

- Daju got shot!

Because of this guy, I killed

my brother's father-in-law!

Okay. So?

Don't you know people

die in this line of work?

People die.

It is normal.

Guys, on to the next

score. Do you hear me?

I am not taking part

in another score.

- Give me my share so I can leave.

- What did you say?

I should give you "your share?"

Really?

Nobody is getting a dime.

Can you hear me? Nobody is getting a dime

until we are done with the second score.

Guys, pack up on

to the next one.

Let me see.

Look…

Kalashnikov.

Even a dog doesn't bite

the hand that feeds it.

Look at Kala. Kala, you

are pointing a gun at me?

You are pointing a gun at me?

Kala, shoot me.

Kala, you must shoot me. If you

don't, I will kill you right here.

Okay. Let's all calm down.

We are all brothers here.

Stop that!

These motherfuckers

aren't my brothers.

Kala.

Kala, calm down. Calm down.

Calm down. Boys, calm down.

Calm down.

Calm down!

Drop the weapon.

Izzie!

Poison.

Drop the weapon.

Izzie!

I said drop the weapon now!

You all want to go ahead, right?

Right?

Fuck this.

And fuck you.

Wale, where's my dad?

Don't tell me it's okay.

Where's my dad?

What's going on? Somebody…

Somebody…

Oh my God.

My father!

Oh no.

Just six months.

That's all the boss

had left to retire.

Now these bloodthirsty

motherfuckers just…

Now he won't even live to

see his first grandchild.

These guys are done.

Fuck!

Where is Akin?

Aunty! Where is Akin?

- He isn't here. What is...

- If he is hiding here, he should come out.

This is a serious matter.

What happened? What is it?

I just saw footage

from the robbery.

And I can swear,

Akin is one of them.

Akin?

How do you know it's him?

They were wearing masks.

But I can swear on my life.

Akin was one of them.

Since you've said

they wore masks,

don't tie Akin's name to such.

Aunty, I said he is one of them!

They killed my father-in-law!

They just killed my

father-in-law, Aunty!

And Akin is one of the robbers!

Reduce your voice, people

around can hear us.

Please calm down.

Please don't say such

a thing, I beg you.

Don't include his name with such acts.

Especially when you are not sure.

Adura.

You know I have

experienced a lot in life.

People have fucked me up.

Life has fucked me up.

If they had told me you'd do the

same, I would have disagreed.

Bro, I can't do such a thing.

Bro, but you know…

You know that whatever

you say goes for us.

We can't do anything

without you.

We can't handle it ourselves.

We can't handle them alone,

they are way more than us.

Also, is this how we

want to keep living?

Living from hand to mouth.

I'm tired.

Fine, we are risking our lives.

But isn't that better?

If we keep doing this,

there are only two ways out.

We either go back

to prison or we die.

But if we decide to risk

our lives, that's better.

So our lives will

change for better.

Kala, let's go in. Everyone

is waiting for you.

Let's go.

I know everyone

thinks I'm acting up.

Don't be mad at me.

I know this operation

is for one person.

So let's do it.

Boss.

Yeah.

The bullion van will get to

the express via this route.

We will station Posion and his

guys as construction workers.

They will block this side.

But they know our M.O now. They

know we use motorcycles and trucks.

- But I have another plan.

- Hmm.

Before you go on

about your plan… Guys.

I want everyone to

memorize this number

This guy smuggles anything

in or out of this country.

Big or small.

He has already collected today's

loot. He has converted it to dollars.

If you call him, he will

guide you on where to meet up.

For the next two weeks, I don't

want you all contacting anybody.

Don't call your father, mother,

brother, sister or girlfriend.

Lay low.

That's for the people

who will make it.

Because not all of

us will make it.

He is leaving by

00:00 hours tomorrow.

It's only those who he sees

that he will take with him.

What is the destination?

Togo.

After that, we

will all disperse.

And we would never need

to see each other again.

- What's wrong with you!

- Did you leave your brain at home?!

- It is like you are crazy!

- Move out of the way!

- So you didn't see me approaching!

- Are you going to move?

You are sick.

- You don't listen, right?

- Leave my-

- You don't listen…

- Buy some sausage rolls.

Man, move your vehicle.

- You know this area is jammed.

- The drink is not cold.

…Lagos State, on

Third Mainland Bridge,

there's very heavy

traffic there.

The construction

workers fixing the road

are causing the traffic and

the LASTMA traffic wardens…

Should I go check?

Okay no problem. I am coming.

Heads down!

Hey!

Everyone, they are at it again!

Let's go! Third Mainland Bridge!

Heads down!

- Come down!

- Down!

Now! Move!

Man, on the floor!

Get down!

Move!

If anyone of you has the guts

to try me, I will fuck you up!

Back up! I need back up! Over!

- I need back up!

- Back up, over.

We need back up!

Over! We need...

Get the fuck down, motherfucker!

Clear! Move away.

Let's go! Move it!

For Officer Daniel.

My friend, if you move!

- I'll fuck you up! Let's go!

- Move!

- Let's go!

- If you look up, I will shoot you!

Take cover! The cops are here!

Mago one! Mago two!

The police is here.

Guys, they are

shooting everywhere.

Please send help!

Sanusi! No!

Ah! Aunty Morenike.

- Eh?

- You are here.

You have not heard what is

happening on the bridge?

- What happened?

- Armed robbers are there.

In broad daylight.

What will we not

see in this Lagos?

What now?

Aunty Morenike?

What happened?

- Boss.

- Reload.

Officer down!

We need medics!

Akin.

Boss.

Don't be angry at me.

Just hold it tight.

Akin!

Akin, listen to me, we

can still sort this out.

Stand down now! We

have you surrounded!

You stand down.

Who's your peer?

- Where is everyone?

- They are coming.

Izzie?

Goldie! Move!

Goldie, move! I will

cover you! Move!

Move!

Go! I will cover you!

Akin, nobody else has to die!

Akin, there's nowhere to run to.

Izra left!

Bastard!

Fuck!

Goldie!

Where's Akin?

Don't injure me.

Where's my child?

Let me see my

child. Where's Akin?

Akin!

Drop your weapons!

Akin! Drop it please.

Drop your weapons! Put

your hands up in the air!

Please, Akin, it

is not worth it.

My child!

Akin!

Aunty! Drop your weapon!

Stop! Hold your fucking fire!

No!

Fuck!

Akin!

- Wale!

- Hold your fucking fire!

That's my brother! Fuck!

The ringleader of the infamous

group, Ojuju Boys, Joshua Akintola,

also known as Shadow,

was apprehended and is currently

still in police custody.

A spokesman confirmed Akintola is

currently receiving medical attention.

The attorney general has promised the

judicial process will be swift and severe.

One of the group's senior

leaders, Akin Adetula, was shot-

and is believed to have fallen

into the waters under Eko Bridge.

Divers are yet to

recover his body,

as the search for

fatalities continues.

- I'm all messed up.

- Another gang member yet to be identified

is believed to have

survived the showdown.

Morenike, your mind

is all messed up!

I'm done for. I'm

dead. It's not fair.

A whole child.

Leave me alone.

I'm all done for.

Who's there?

- Baba, it is me.

- Open!

Baba, everything scattered.

The police came.

As they came, everyone took off.

It seems I'm the only survivor.

That's not my business.

Me? I will carry anyone

at the agreed time.

Okay.

That's not an issue.

I believe this is the

balance of the money.

Yes.

Bring it here.

Where should I put it?

Put it here.

When I dance, I feel free.

I will come back.

Free to live. Free to choose.

Nothing.

What do you mean, nothing?

We saw him get in the water.

Tell them to get back

in there and find him!

And if they can't do

their fucking jobs,

get people who are more

competent to do their jobs!

Officer Wale.

These men are from

internal affairs.

And they want to

have a word with you.

Yes, ma'am.

It won't be well

with your loved ones.

Let's go meet Dada!

Dada.

Vroom! Vroom!

See Dada! Da!

Now that the case is closed,

I hope they finally

lift your suspension.

I hope so too.

Sorry, let me take this.

Hello?

Officer.

Stupid criminal.
