You can go.
[Bode chuckling]

Tola. You don't understand
what's going on here.
-No. You know what Uncle taught me?
-Huh?
That mainlanders help each other.
But all you do is sit in your office.
You always only do what you think is best.
But how can you know what is best
when you don't even ask?
[sighs]
[laughing]
Uncle, you said that
you are a man of your word.
Promise that if he gives you
what you want, you'll let us go.

[Happiness groans]
[sighs]
[Otin] Go. It is not safe for you here.
Don't worry.
This is what I was made to do.
[lackeys grunting, groaning]
[panting]
They know I'm in the system,
and they're blocking me.
Daddy!
I did the best I could.
[Bode] An islander's best
is never good enough.
But, why? What did we do that's so bad?
You act innocent, but you are not.
No one is. Not me, not your father,
not even the children I kidnap.
We all play our parts.
The difference is,
you are only interested in taking.
[Tola] But you take money
from the parents.
Because it is what I deserve.
The islanders are wicked.
And if kidnapping a child
shines a light on that,
then I will take until they learn
to treat us better.
[beeping]
And no one can stop me.
Solid confession, Uncle.
Eh?
Did you get all of that, Mrs. Usman?
-[Mrs. Usman] Every bit.
-What are you doing?
Well, while you were giving
what I would say is probably
the worst of all your speeches,
everyone in Lagos was watching.
Hmm?
[gasps, groans]
Oh, my god.
A mainlander like you
could learn a lot from me.
-[grunts]
-[gasps]
[police sirens blaring]
Get out of the way!
[panting]
Ah. Oga is here. Ope oh.
[knuckles crack]
-[grunts]
-[lackey groans]
[groans] Oga?

What are you waiting for? G-Get it now.
No. Oga has it under control.

Kole. [sighs]
Oko mi. Oko mi, pele pele.

Oko mi, oko mi. Oko mi.
So I think after all of that happened,
I'm basically a proper Ajegunle girl now.
[chuckles] So you are.
I'm sorry for underestimating you. Mmm?
I'm sorry.
Me too.
I shouldn't have gone to the mainland
after you told me I couldn't.
So, we will both do better moving forward.
Hmm?
How you see am?
Deal.
I'm sorry, Uncle G.
It wasn't fair to trick you.
Hmm.
My madam is forgiven.
