The Trade

Come down from that car now!

Come down!

Move!

Move, are you not listening?

Where is the cloth?

Come...

Are you Chibuzor's boys?

Mister, shut up there.

Van Damme, where did you say you put the cloth?

Only Ekene can use children for a job like this.

So, Ekene still operates from prison?

Lion.

- How do you... - Who are you?

Eric.

How do we know you are really Eric?

Listen...

Do you know who I am to Ekene?

Look at these little things!

Oh! You wanted to kidnap me for Ekene?

Come on, call him now.

Idiot.

Your phone is ringing.

Hello.

Boss, there is a situation.

What is happening?

The man we carried, he said he knows you.

The man we carried, he said he knows you.

He said he's Eric.

Give him the phone.

Ah! Eric!

What are you doing in the East?

My brother.

I was just leaving Uyo when these little rats shot my tire.

They just spoilt my car.

Where did you even see these children?

Please don't be angry, they don't understand the work yet.

How is it over there?

We are managing.

Don't worry, I will send madam something.

Eric! I trust you.

Strong man!

Get this thing away from me.

Hello sir.

You stupid boy, don't you know who you carried?

Sorry sir.

You better take him back where you picked him up from.

Nonsense.

Turn around.

Bring my phone.

Hello.

Lawrence.

My name is Barrister Lawrence Ihemelo, Esq.

My client came to this country to do business,

but within one month he was kidnapped.

We paid a ransom last night,

and he was already on the first flight out of this country, today!

It is you people that paid them. Did you tell the police?

Tell the police?

So that they will kill him, right?

Okay.

These are the documents of the car, and we are expecting immediate release.

It's okay.

You will pay twenty five thousand Naira, to clear this car.

What?

Yes! For the towing and other miscellaneous services.

What did you say?

ACP Abubakar, please.

Thanks.

What is it?

Sir.

Oh, it's you. Come in.

So you are the one?

Sir?

The one everybody is talking about.

Sir.

You are my biggest inspiration on the force sir, I just want to learn.

I want to learn from the best, sir.

Hello.

Yes, sir.

I was thinking, this is not the kind of case we should be handling.

No, sir. I am not questioning...

Okay, sir.

Immediately, sir.

Is my driver outside?

Yes, sir.

- Mr. Whizkid, are you still standing? - No, sir.

I am sorry you had to go through all this.

I read the statement you gave the officer in charge and I have a few questions.

Okay.

Surely this is a case for SARS.

Why will the head of the Intelligence Response Team

be asked to attend to this?

Welcome to Abuja.

Where a politician's girlfriend can have even the Inspector General

on her house robbery case.

I thought the IRT is supposed to be the FBI of Nigeria?

Sorry, sir.

So, this is why you are so gingered?

FBI agent.

Look, I just want to attend to cases that actually make a difference.

Don't worry.

When you see a case, you will know that you have seen one.

Welcome, boss.

Good morning.

Is that your brother?

Yes, he just came yesterday and I have started training him.

Is he smoking weed?

He only smokes it outside.

Please don't be angry, he won't do it again.

Welcome.

Morning, sir.

Oh no...

You are getting lean!

Don't you eat food again?

Kids these days.

Don't worry, your mother has finished paying my money.

What?

Yes, you are going home today.

Oh my God.

Alright, come and take the mummy's boy.

Park here.

Take.

What?

Come down, do you want to go back with us?

No.

- Dad! - My daughter!

- You are not sleeping. - Good evening.

Alright, let's go.

- Good evening, daddy. - Daddy welcome.

- How are you? - Fine.

Good girl.

David, pray for us.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Father Lord...

Hello.

Yes. Shotubo, Shotubo Bakare.

Mr. Bakare, long time.

DCP Bukar, I need to see you urgently please.

I'm on the way to Abuja. I'm catching a flight now.

Okay.

He was finally released last night,

in the middle of nowhere on the way to Epe.

The boy is a shadow of himself now.

Why didn't you come to me earlier?

It was the mother!

My sister in-law, she was scared to involve the police.

Well, I have been on this case for years now.

The last time we got close to him,

we got one of his boys who took us to the body of a hostage.

The poor victim had been buried for weeks, yet he continued collecting ransom.

Can you imagine?

And no one has come forward to report.

See Bukar, you can't imagine the threats.

The guy knows a lot about my family.

He even claims he has informants within the police.

DCP, with all due respect, you know how corrupt the police is.

That was why I flew in to see you myself, okay?

See, this is the number he gave to the family to contact him on.

I am sure he will have thrown it away by now,

but I just thought this might be helpful.

Do not worry, we have our ways.

Bukar.

See...

My family has gone through so much.

We have lost so much already because of this mad man.

You have to catch him, whatever it takes.

Thirty.

Wow!

Foreign money.

Thank you.

Why are you thanking me? It is your money.

When you appreciate someone for what he has done, he will do more.

Chairman! High five, you are great.

That's right.

But...

If not for you in this town, my brother, I would have died.

Forget about it.

The guy has come.

Good afternoon, sir.

- Ebuka. - Yes, sir.

- Sit down. - Thank you, sir.

So, I need you to transfer the money tomorrow for the containers,

or else we lose the shipment.

That is no problem, it's a normal thing.

5,000 Dollars.

Okay, I will pay it in installments.

5,000 Dollars into your corporate account

and the other account each time...

In five days,

so that will make everything, plus the one in the other account...

Eighty five thousand Dollars.

Okay.

Your own.

Chairman, this is too much.

Alex said you have something to tell us.

Talk.

There is a woman that comes to our branch very well.

I'm not her account officer. Jude is her account...

Anyway, the woman's father just died and she is the man's only child,

and she already works for the company,
