Thief! We caught a thief!

Thief.

Thief. Look at his face.

God will punish you. We will burn you!

-Take me to the station please! -Relax, now.

Take me to the station!

they would have dug the thing out.

This guy thinks I'm lying.

You think I'm lying, right?

Thank you.

Thanks for taking care of me.

By the rocks where the river gushes.

That's where the great Araba tree is from.

I swear!

I reject it. Over... God forbid!

That's different.

Boss, they are in Kano.

you know all these boys.

No, you are not feeling any pain.

You can't burn anybody. Why would you burn him!

Let's take him to the station. I'll take him to the police station!

What's up with you, really?

Relax! They can't touch you.

Please take me to the police station!

Take me to the police station please!

-Man, don't you dare push me! -What's wrong with you!

-Don't push me! -What's wrong with you!

Leave this place!

Take me to the police station please!

I will punch you!

Now, calm down.

No, don't. Don't!

The time I stole a Blackberry.

That time I stole a Blackberry in the garage,

I know what they did to me!

-Yes, I know. -Never!

Stop! Be patient!

-You are all thieves! -I agree!

We will burn you!

Really, Wale?

Is that true, Wale?

This one? This one is not a Corps member.

This one is a criminal.

My sister.

My sister.

My sister.

What are you saying?

My son is not there!

My Adewale Esho.

Wale. Adewale Esho has killed me!

Adewale Esho has killed me!

Adewale Esho has killed me!

Where do I go?

Please.

Ah, I'm done for!

I'm done for.

Please.

Don't be angry, please.

Look,

Please, in God's name!

Leave me alone!

Please!

Help me! Yeh!

My son is not a thief.

Please help me.

Please, please,

Please, help me.

I'm dead.

Wale has killed me.

I am dead.

Something is happening.

This boy is not a thief.

I don't understand.

What's happening?

-I will bite you! -My sister.

-I'm dead. -What did you say?

I am dead.

God!

Head of family.

Speak, speak.

It won't be well with your future generation.

Your mom snuck in here.

Imagine the level.

to oppress the people that are here, right?

You think this place is a boarding house?

When I'm talking to you I need you to focus.

It's prison republic...

-that they call this place. -That's right!

And this ministry you just entered

is the ministry for condemned men

Prisoners for prisoners

God will punish you warder

Prisoners for prisoners

Lead warder.

Tummy warder.

no one is on a higher level inside here.

Their level is not good enough.

They don't have level. They just aren't good enough.

Hammer, you know what provokes me about this guy's matter?

You that the head warder brought here, telling us to take it easy.

Are you Mr. Eazy?

-No he's Eazy E. -I'm suspecting you. Come.

You and him are related?

You don't talk? If I slap your face, eh.

-We are not related. -You said what?

-We are not related. -You say?

-We are not related. -You say?

she has to bring for everybody inside this cell.

-Do you hear? -It is a law.

Over here,

it's Zone 3.

Are you listening?

Over here,

we're not so many.

She now has...

51 children. She's very lucky.

as I'm feeling right now,

I have to tell you that that's the only thing...

that you can do here

that will keep you safe.

that rubbish that

the head warder came to say here,

that one won't work.

Now, you are looking at me as though it's a picture.

It's not a picture. This is real!

That cigarette he gave us as bribe.

That one has gone into water.

So if you want to be here.

And you want to stay safe.

Talk. Are you crazy? Talk!

I didn't go to school.

It's not Enitan.

-Earn it, idiot! Earn it. -Earn it, not Enitan.

I'm sure I've never seen you before in my life.

But as I'm looking at you, I just hate you.

Everything about you as you are.

There are two types of fowls in this world.

We have chicken.

That is so!

"Sikin"

is what we eat here...

-That's true. -that's making us sick.

So, as my Capone has spoken,

If your mother wants to bring food,

she should apply chicken.

I agree that not every house where rice and stew is cooked,

do they fry plantain.

But me as I am,

I can't eat my rice and stew without plantain.

Based on the spoilt kid that I am,

It will give me catarrh.

What did you say you want!? Talk, talk! What did you say you want?

-Moi-moi. -Moi moi! What do you say you want?

-Peppered gizzard! -Salad!

Okay chill, guys.

So, you've seen it.

Your mom is lucky.

Beef innards.

Innards of everything.

Fill up the 12 coolers.

If your mom does all these things, guy,

you have a visa here.

can't spend money to

you see that money your mom doesn't want to spend,

your mom will buy coffin with it and

Because I'm assuring you,

except I'm not Hammer,

you won't last two days.

You are completely done for.

You heard me?

My son is not a thief.

What stupid visitation is that?

Me!

God forbid.

Food has landed

Better food has shown up

Food has landed

Better food has shown up

Drinks are flowing

We will keep on drinking

It's now that I know your head is screwed on tight.

Now she's behaving like

she's our mother too.

cannot touch you.

that messes with you,

he's messing with us all.

Am I lying?

Better food has shown up

Leave it! I swept it to this point.

What's up with you?

Please move.

-Boss, what did I do? -You are doing nothing!

I will do it, boss.

I will do it.

-Ah, man! -What is...

I have not had AC.

What happened?

Get off that chair!

You are not serious.

Wale, get off the boss's chair!

Leave the table!

I haven't checked Facebook in how long now.

-Let me check. -You want to check what?

-Don't touch that system! -I haven't checked--

I want to do throwback picture.

Oh, look, the boss is coming now!

See what I was saying? He's coming already.

Leave this place. How are you anyway?

You see these people in Zone 3?

I swear those men would have killed me.

Exactly! That I also said he was the devil's PA.

He is devil's first born. The guy is mean.

He has his own side.

-that believe he will become the boss. -What's up with him?

Anything the head warder says,

he tackles it. If Mr. Ogoro says something, he attacks.

He will have a reason.

He will have something to quote.

The guy has a problem with me,

God forbid. It's his family that will be in Calabar.

Saying what, now?

I don't even want to know what's inside.

As I saw it,

in the dispatch, I took them and tore them!

I ate them. I swallowed the papers

-so there won't traces. -Nice one. On to rat things.

If money is the root of all evil

What is poverty

See I don dey pray pray pray

Papa God go bless me

Abeg he bless plenty Me I no dey play play play

Because we want the kpa We dey the kpa plenty

No we know soke, see we no dey fear

We no dey run rara, o le le...

Let them come!

And it will hurt me to see that they will hang you sooner or later.

See, I don't fear death.

All of us will die one day.

But you see, my happiness is that

I've done justice to

for what they did to me.

You know we can escape out of here?

I don't have that plan.

Capone, we will plan this thing.

I'm escaping out of here.

And as my OC,

I want you to know

so that you can follow me as well.

Except of course you want to serve the life sentence you have here.

This escape plan you're talking about is long overdue,

Now I know what's going on.

These are the ingredients we'll behead the warders with--

nobody is beheading anybody.

Since we're not going to behead

the warders or anybody,

how then are we going to escape?

That's what I expected from your mouth.

You should have asked me what my plans are.

This is the plan.

We will dig a tunnel.

We will dig every night.

We can escape.

-How come it can just-- -No!

We are breaking!

-We are burst-- -Shh!

Ah man, your parents are rich.

Look how everywhere is looking set.

-How did they get so much money? -Shut up!

If you know the kind of money this boy's father's got.

You know his father?

I know his family. I've just been pretending.

I know rich people.

This boy that you are looking at, his father lends banks money.

Don't you see the kind

-Welcome. -You're related?

This is the place we start the digging from.

And as it is,

it's this gadget that we all follow.

Yes, we're digging your glory.

You too, shefan!

Look at his eyes!

Look me in the eyes.

My God!

Ah, I didn't give birth to an Okon!

Ehen, where are you?

Who's digging? Who has sand over there?

That small quantity of sand I told to go and dump,

and you've been gone like you went to do somewhere else.

Poison, what is wrong with you? Are you mental?

Are you crazy?

Don't you know that to clear this sand secretively,

passing it and putting inside our clothes,

staying still in some places,

putting it inside sacks, putting it inside toilets, different angles...

Don't you know one has to use his brain to do that?

Please when will you be wise?

When will you have a brain? When will you get some sense?

Just to go dump sand upstairs,

and you're saying you are skillfully arranging,

you are using arithmetic to do all these things? You are not well.

Come, look here. If you just talk anyhow, I'll turn you into a dwarf.

If I deal with you, you'll fizzle out. You will fizzle out,

-Hey! -Are you insulting me?

What's all this that you are doing?

What's all this noise you're making, shouting like cows?

All these things you're doing will complicate things oh!

Man, look, I've told you before

What!

Look, I just want us to leave this place. I'm tired of digging.

Is there any time you are not tired?

Guy, what's wrong with you? I'll deal with you!

The cholesterol in your system is what's making you tired.

If you had sense you would have added a little weight.

-What is wrong with you? -And you with the extra weight,

-do you have any sense? -Guy, I will reduce you!

Do you want to die young?

See, any of you that thinks he can use his reggae

to disturb my blues, I swear to God, I'll kill him here.

If you don't want to go home, I want to go home.

The plan is to dig this tunnel,

reach outside of this prison wall, and we escape.

And we will do it intelligently so that

when the warders come, they will know that

we are very intelligent. Now, what's all this noise? Are you both mad?

Hey Deputy, I hail!

I've heard you.

But listen to me please and don't get upset.

I'm tired of digging. It's my right, it's my strength.

I'm tired of digging.

I don't want to suffer to escape anymore.

to that other point we are looking at

is like ten meters away before we burst out of the fence.

Can you hear how you are saying it?

Anyone listening to you will think we just dig a little and

we'll reach the free world. Ehn?

When we started digging this thing,

how many weeks did you say it will take us to dig?

How many weeks have we been digging for now?

Ehn? Wasn't it three weeks you said we will dig for before we escape?

Look, we can be here digging for the next six months.

We could keep on digging for six months!

Please.

I don't want noise here again.

it's true Rambo is senseless.

We all know he is senseless.

Everything he needs to use to have some sense, he's used to get fat.

-What's happening? -Deputy.

I understand what you are saying.

But this level has gone as planned.

Where we are coming from...

is far.

Where we are going is just very close.

Deputy. You see this angle that we are looking at?

Are you sure this guy knows what he is doing?

How many of you have noticed that even this tunnel

has two branches?

A normal tunnel is supposed to have one branch.

If you want to dig, keep digging away.

I'm not digging anymore. I'm tired. I'm going to the room.

Whatever is going happen can happen. If you...

Deputy, do anything and I will report. Nothing. I'm not scared of you!

-Listen up, everyone. -Deputy.

I will ask you

and I want you to tell all of us

that are here.

How many days

are left for us

to dig to the outside of this prison wall

and escape?

Maybe like what?

What do you mean, "maybe like what"?

You see we're the ones suffering to dig.

Be precise. Let us know.

Guy, be clear.

That is confirmed.

So, you mean in two days' time, we are leaving here?

We will leave here.

We will go. We will just be free.

-We will break free, eh? -Everybody.

We will need to put our hands together

If it's not as you said it,

look at this tunnel that we've dug very well.

I will make sure personally that we kill you here.

Quickly!

Alright, alright,

We will be late for dinner at base.

Please cool down.

I don't know why the vehicle won't start.

Ehn? I have changed kick starter three times.

The car still won't start.

Mister, call a taxi so that we can go.

What are you saying, mister?

When something happens, aren't you supposed to find a solution?

I don't understand what's happening anymore, Capone.

It's already past 11:00 p.m.

-I'm tired. -Samuel Okon, we haven't seen.

are you sure they haven't released this boy

and he forgot to come and tell us bye-bye.

-Amen! -It is a law.

Instead of them to release Samuel Okon,

we will all die inside this

Someone will just come in here to deceive us

with gadgets then leave us in the middle of the project?

-No, no, that's not going to happen. -Hey, hey, Hammer.

That boy is not like that.

I'm sure something happened.

We're the ones who dug the tunnel to the level it is right now.

We can't abandon it now.

Let's go and continue the digging, finish the entire thing

and leave this place. I'm tired!

See, let me tell you something.

We don't know where we are digging towards.

So I will suggest that we wait till tomorrow and

So, if Okon is not here now, we will just abandon the project, eh?

Something we've been digging for so long we'll just...?

God won't agree with that. God won't agree with you.

We are digging it!

This one, we are digging to the end!

See, it's only that boy that knows how to use the gadget.

Capone, forget about the gadget. Ah.

Who did the gadget help?

In Warri where I come from, gadgets fear man.

Is it not the brain that was used to assemble the gadget?

Have you all forgotten we are supposed to leave here tonight?

I beg you in the name of God.

See, let me tell you something.

I'm not so sure that the boy is even sure we are leaving tonight.

Who's that?

Are you mad?

Even the boy is not sure of the mission.

How are we following a blind man? Blind leading the blind.

the prison is far.

Mister man. Ah!

Capone, we can't wait.

Ah. We can't wait.

You know it's life imprisonment I have here.

This is the one opportunity I have to escape.

Whether Okon is here or not,

Capone we will leave here.

We will dig this place today. Today, now even.

Aro, hold it.

Maximum respect, Capone. Can I ask you a question?

What if Okon is dead?

Or if he has been transferred and we weren't told.

This is how we will all be waiting?

What's special about what the boy does?

Holding an ordinary gadget?

We're the ones using our muscles to dig.

The guy just carries the gadget and...

Baba, let us go and dig. I'm tired. Hmm.

You don't even know where you are digging to.

We could go and dig now and hit something else.

Burst out somewhere else and get caught.

If they are going to catch me, let them catch me.

I don't have anything to lose in this life.

we are here talking. I said let's go and dig and we're here.

This is how we will be talking til day break.

That's what I told you people from the beginning.

Being the Rambo I am, you should have let me import guns.

Import bullets and I will tear this place down

so we can escape from this place but you didn't agree.

Seems like it's the Rambo they call you that's fooling you.

You have all the guns and you are still in a maximum prison.

Why didn't you use the guns to defend yourself?

I don't know what kind of--

I'm so tired.

What's this?

I salute!

You are too great.

-God damn. -Oh my God!

Even in Kuje prison we dared not have tried this.

Which patrol? What's the meaning of this?

See, so you guys have been planning how to escape since.

You didn't bother to tell the rest of us right?

See, let me just tell you ehn,

we are all escaping together.

-Tell him. -Life will not be good for everybody that

attended your naming ceremony.

You open your mouth to talk to me like that?

A trailer passed and I didn't see it,

talk less of the driver inside it.

So if Hammer is thinking about escaping.

you too are thinking about escaping?

How many years have you spent in prison?

Forget about all that stuff you are saying.

So we should be looking at you with our naked eyes

and we will be here like we've been cursed. Right?

What have you seen now that your eyes want to jump out of their sockets?

Your muscles and veins are bulging like you want to die before death.

What's working you up?

You want to kill yourself before death arrives.

Boss,

I hail you, sir.

I salute you.

It has been decreed.

-It has been decreed. -Bantu, can you hear him?

Boss, please!

He punches him! He kicks him!

Lifts up!

We know that you people are prisoners like us.

It's a law.

What's all this?

Amen! Amen!

-Fire! Fire! -Amen! Amen!

If we say it...

He will be well beaten

He will be well beaten

A weakling setting trap for the strong

He will be well beaten

If this guy talks...

If this guy talks!

I will tear this prison down!

I will tear it down with serious riot!

Sir, if I talk, the ground will shake.

Ehn, in the past I would have just

Leave your bread now. Why are you hiding the bread?

Why won't I hide the bread.

Do you want to drink my leftovers?

My boss.

Banju is crazy.

You know my mother's brother's friend in admin?

He told me when Antar took Banju into his office,

they give us too much beans.

That's when Antar got vexed

and took Banju to solitary confinement.

It's all set as I talk to you.

I've hit it many times,

no sand is coming off.

Seems like there's a piece of metal inside here.

And I suspect it's the foundation pillar of this prison.

You see this thing we just discovered?

This is the pillar of this prison.

If you touch this thing as it is,

So I will advise. I will advise.

Hear me out.

Leave this thing as it is.

We will be working by the side.

We will continue the digging from this side. Here.

It will be a problem.

See what I was saying? This is the devil's handiwork here.

The devil got here too.

All the same, what this gadget is telling me right now...

is lined with the fence of this prison.

So a few yards from here and we will burst out of this prison.

So don't worry.

Hey, sorry boss, don't be angry.

-My friend pack those things! -Boss, I'm packing it.

-Ahn ahn. Mr. David, now. -Oh, okay.

I didn't study in school to that level.

I can't even read any of these things.

Let me start from your side.

Swing low

Sweet chariot

Abasi is coming to carry me home

Swing low, Mr. David

Swing chariot

STAT SEEN. ARRIVE DESTINATION TONIGHT. NEED FLIGHT FOR STAT. ARRANGE

Abasi is coming to carry me home

How great Thou art

How great Thou art

you said we should dig around it.

We've dug around it.

Now you want to bring it down.

You want to collapse the tunnel?

You will need blood tonic when you leave here.

All this blood you are wasting I don't understand.

You see this pillar you are underestimating like so?

That's what will carry us out of this tunnel.

It's what we will stump on out of here.

You mean it is this pillar that we'll stomp on out of here?

It is.

Why are we wasting time? Let's destroy it! Bring it down!

-Hope this thing won't fall on our heads! -It won't collapse.

It's a fact we all know that Gogo is senseless.

and the prison crashes on our heads or something blocks

the tunnel we've been digging for months now,

Don't dull yourself, this thing is not coming down.

Prisoners!

You've heard it from the man himself. Let me tell you now.

Let me wish you good luck in advance

Hey, Rambo! Go over to that side.

Let's all keep the momentum going please.

We've seen the light, Capone! We've seen the light.

-Home sweet home! -The tunnel has opened to the outside?

So we don't leave traces.

Is there something we don't know about this pillar?

I will use this helmet to bust you head. Are you mad?

Gogo, are you crazy?

Look, let me tell you something you don't know.

Because you've seen outside doesn't mean you've escaped.

I will return you back to cell and nothing will happen.

What's your problem anyway?

Okon said he needs the pillar! Then what's your own problem?

So that his family will know he's first to go to prison in their family.

You are struggling with him over the pillar!

Guy, I don't like this! I don't like it at all!

Are we the one escaping or the pillar?

Aboki, is it me you're...

You're answering question, right? It won't be good for you. Are you mad?

Leave him.

Don't you know that if you pursue him,

he will blow the whistle and Mr. Antar will come here?

God is great!

Now help him carry the pillar so that we can leave this place.

Now, now!

Aro is out! Command follows!

Oh God! Oh God! Oh God!

Oh boy,

these are prisoners trying to escape.

Wait! Lift it up!

See now, there's trouble.

Okon, you see now? Me, I'm gone.

Let's be fast--

My leg is paining me. My body is aching. Let's be fast please.

And it came... from a prisoner.

Prisoner.

Dey go, dey go, dey go well

Dey go, dey go, dey go well

Dey go, dey go, dey go well

Dey go, dey go, dey go well

WELCOME TO THE NATIONAL MUSUEM LAGOS

I said it.

my only darling Adewale Esho is never a rogue.

I didn't give birth to a thief.

Look at this boy who made us believe we were digging to escape.

I'm coming.

Where?

They've got a penalty and scored a throw in

Boom, boom, boom!

Are we mad?

If we try it,

God won't agree.

-Prisoner. -Where's the money?

God is good.

God is great! Safe journey.

How old is he?

We'll be back!
