Amina!

Amina!

Alpha! Package heading your way.

Move it, move it, move, move, move!

Police, on your knees... Down.

Alpha, do you copy?

Alpha, be advised, hostages on board. I repeat, hostages on board.

Do you copy? Use non-lethal force only, hostages on board.

This is the police.

You are safe now.

Young girl.

Young girl.

What is your name?

Where do you come from?

Where?

What is your name?

Amina.

Amina, where do you come from?

Why did you put my bag on the ground?

Get away!

Brother Yussif!

Brother Yussif!

-Are you on properly? -Yes.

Yussif!

Thief!

Thief!

Thief!

Amina.

Look after the things.

Mama.

Where's the goat from?

Alhaji Dauda was here.

Mama.

I don't like the way you are taking gifts from this man.

I've told you already that he will not marry Amina.

I only see what is better for her.

Take the goat back!

Akatok.

Akatok. Where's the goat?

The goat I tied here yesterday.

Mother, look, it's too early for that.

Ahba! Look at how we suffer on this compound.

You are meant to be our savior.

Ahba! Don't you feel pity for us?

Pity on you?

Who has pity on me?

Everyone treats me like a leper in my father's house.

Who treats you like a leper more than yourself?

All you do is lie!

You steal!

And when day breaks, you do absolutely nothing

except sleep and lazing about.

You are a useless son.

Mama. It's OK.

Someone should tell this useless man the truth.

Akatok!

Hit me. Hit me.

I said hit me!

You are very lucky today. I would've hit you.

How was school?

-It was fine. -Why are you following me?

No reason.

Did you see Baba's goat?

Don't talk about that goat with me.

Eh, Auntie.

-Welcome. -Thank you.

-Have a seat. -Thank you.

Rukaya. She wants to see you.

Me?

Eh...

-Auntie, welcome. -Thank you.

Rukaya.

She's the woman getting jobs for our little ones in Burkina and beyond.

Ah.

Oh.

But I told you I'm thinking about it.

Eh, what is there to think about?

Look at Amina. What can you give her in this town?

Akose.

I can't do this.

Amina is my one child.

Mm-mm.

Rukaya, I promise you, if you don't listen to me, you are on your own.

Don't worry, you will take Amina soon. Mm?

OK.

You give me small time.

You better think fast. You better think fast.

My sister, I will leave now.

-OK, auntie, bye bye. -Bye.

Rukaya, do you think you are better than all the other mothers

who have sent their children away?

Poor person with pride.

How's your competition heating up?

That girl is a witch.

-Have you see one before? -Auntie Lamisi.

Don't believe everything you hear...

if you want to be fifth.

I had some time on my hands and I decided to pass by and say hello.

Oh, OK. We are fine.

May God give us good health.

Welcome.

Amina. Get inside. Don't come out.

Rukaya. We were waiting for you. Have a seat.

Baba. You were my father's friend.

Yes. That's why I want to take care of your daughter.

By marrying her?

Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Going after your friend's granddaughter?

Is it because we are poor?

Rukaya. Shut up!

I said shut up...

If you had listened to me,

Alhaji Dauda would've been your husband by now.

But you refused.

And went after that useless boy

who impregnated you

and fled to the city.

Do you want Amina to end up like you?

Mama. I want better for her.

Baba.

Leave this house.

Oh. She says I should leave?

Rukaya must be going mad.

Oh!

So you think sending her to some strange land will solve our problems.

Mama. Any option is better than becoming a fourth wife.

-Akatok. -Yes?

Say something to your sister.

Since when did my opinion matter in this house?

Oh!

Is that all you can say?

Yes.

I have to get to the market.

Oh.

Grandmother.

Grandmother.

Grandmother.

Grandmother.

What is it?

Hmm.

I don't want to go.

Come closer.

Amina.

Your mother loves you. She will never allow any harm to come to you.

Do you hear?

I'm afraid.

You are matured now.

You are a child no more.

Talk to your mother before you go. Do you hear?

-No, I won't. -Please. Please.

Please.

-Do you hear? -No, I won't.

We have to pick up the last person quickly.

So by dawn we should've left.

That's fine.

Come out.

Come on.

What you said is right. Now we have gathered them.

Right!

So what we're supposed to do now is...

-Bro Yusi... -Shh!

You?

What are you doing here? Huh?

Do you know why you are here?

Huh? What are you doing here?

Listen, you are going to be sold.

And you won't come back again. Huh?

Calm down. I must find a way... to get you out of here.

Hey!

Madam, this girl, she is very stubborn and disobedient.

Get away.

Calm down, OK? Hmm? You will be fine.

You'll be fine, OK? You'll be fine.

Don't mind him, OK? Stop crying, OK?

Go.

-Garanpo. -Big brother.

Is everyone done with the work?

Hmm... Everyone is done, except Yussif.

Why?

Ah! Hunter.

-Yes, sir. -Come over here!

Don't shout, calm down.

We can't have the kids agitated now.

Get them into the truck.

Hmm. So sad!

Where's brother Yussif?

He's in police custody.

I'll be back. I'm coming.

When are we going home?

This is going to be your temporary home until we can send each of you home.

How do we get food to eat?

There's plenty to eat.

I hope we're ready.

They loaded the harvest this afternoon.

- Are you sure? -Yes.

I've gone there two times today so this is our last chance

If we miss it again, we have to wait for the next harvest.

-We won't. -And what about money?

We don't need money.

Please, I don't want trouble.
