00:28:02,248 --> 00:28:03,583
Trainee:
That's right.

373
00:28:05,318 --> 00:28:08,755
- Warrior (chanting): Dahomey!
- (Warriors chanting in fongbe)

374
00:28:10,957 --> 00:28:14,940
- Agojie (chanting): Izogie!

378
00:28:45,792 --> 00:28:50,130

- (Chanting in fongbe)

00:28:54,234 --> 00:28:55,969

380
00:28:56,102 --> 00:28:58,438
(Chant fades)

381
00:28:59,372 --> 00:29:00,473
Nawi:
Fumbe.

382
00:29:00,607 --> 00:29:03,143
Show me how to tie the rope.

383
00:29:03,276 --> 00:29:05,445
(Laughs) Never.

384
00:29:05,578 --> 00:29:08,114
It is the only thing
I can do better than you.

385
00:29:08,248 --> 00:29:11,117
(Scoffs) Ode, this one.

386
00:29:11,251 --> 00:29:13,353
(Laughter)

387
00:29:14,254 --> 00:29:16,122
But did you see izogie?

388
00:29:16,256 --> 00:29:18,258
- (Sighs)
- With the dagger here.

389
00:29:18,391 --> 00:29:21,127
She's standing there,
not moving, not in pain.

390
00:29:21,261 --> 00:29:23,196
- Wow.
- (Chuckles) I love it.

391
00:29:23,329 --> 00:29:25,165
I'm going to be like her.

392
00:29:25,298 --> 00:29:26,299
Yes, my friend.

393
00:29:26,399 --> 00:29:27,701
- As strong as her.
- Mm-hmm.

394
00:29:27,834 --> 00:29:29,936
You try to stab me,
I'll stab you back.

395
00:29:30,700 --> 00:29:32,205
- Yeah.
- (Laughter)

396
00:29:32,339 --> 00:29:33,907
Izogie:
Backswing.

397
00:29:36,343 --> 00:29:38,111
(Explosive pop)

398
00:29:38,244 --> 00:29:40,480
(Quiet laughter)

399
00:29:42,315 --> 00:29:44,851
(Snickering)

400
00:29:48,221 --> 00:29:51,925
Which of you designed
this trick?

401
00:29:54,994 --> 00:29:56,363
Nanisca:
Hmm?

402
00:29:56,496 --> 00:29:59,320
- Then you will all be punished.
- I did it.

403
00:29:59,165 --> 00:30:01,468
- We all did it.
- No.

404
00:30:02,335 --> 00:30:04,370
It was me.

405
00:30:04,170 --> 00:30:05,238
I apologize.

406
00:30:05,372 --> 00:30:07,874
Once again.

407
00:30:09,309 --> 00:30:11,344
Go back to the barracks.

408
00:30:16,383 --> 00:30:19,819
How do you make this explosion?

409
00:30:21,210 --> 00:30:24,224
You do not need guns
to use gunpowder.

410
00:30:24,357 --> 00:30:26,359
We just need a spark.

411
00:30:27,293 --> 00:30:29,863
You like the guns?

412
00:30:29,996 --> 00:30:32,432
Do you enjoy practicing
with the men in the infantry?

413
00:30:32,565 --> 00:30:35,568
I see you flirting.

414
00:30:35,702 --> 00:30:37,904
- This is not allowed?
- You know it is not.

415
00:30:38,380 --> 00:30:39,406
Why not?

416
00:30:39,539 --> 00:30:42,242
The men who are soldiers
have wives and children,

417
00:30:42,375 --> 00:30:44,110
but the agojie cannot.

418
00:30:44,244 --> 00:30:45,679
How is that fair?

419
00:30:45,812 --> 00:30:47,547
Were you this arrogant
with your family?

420
00:30:47,681 --> 00:30:49,315
No wonder they gave you away.

421
00:30:49,449 --> 00:30:51,985
It is you who is arrogant.

422
00:30:53,319 --> 00:30:55,188
I am a general.

423
00:30:55,321 --> 00:30:56,389
I have earned it.

424
00:30:56,523 --> 00:30:58,224
You have earned nothing.

425
00:30:58,358 --> 00:30:59,492
I should put you out.

426
00:30:59,626 --> 00:31:01,261
- No.
- I have watched soldiers die

427
00:31:01,394 --> 00:31:03,496
because they did not
have discipline.

428
00:31:03,630 --> 00:31:05,231
Their easy life
did not prepare them for

429
00:31:05,365 --> 00:31:09,336
- this life here as an agojie.
- I did not have an easy life.

430
00:31:11,304 --> 00:31:14,740
(Crying)
I did not have an easy life.

431
00:31:14,207 --> 00:31:15,408
Please.

432
00:31:15,542 --> 00:31:17,344
I-I want to be here
with the others.

433
00:31:17,477 --> 00:31:19,579
I want to fight for my king.

434
00:31:21,848 --> 00:31:23,350
Please.

435
00:31:23,483 --> 00:31:27,854
Your tears mean nothing.

436
00:31:29,522 --> 00:31:32,792
To be a warrior,
you must kill your tears.

437
00:31:35,495 --> 00:31:37,764
(Sniffles)

438
00:31:40,367 --> 00:31:41,901
Go.

439
00:31:43,203 --> 00:31:44,537
Ah.

440
00:31:52,879 --> 00:31:54,848
Go.

441
00:32:01,388 --> 00:32:02,956
Hey.

442
00:32:04,391 --> 00:32:05,392
You are a mahi prisoner.

443
00:32:05,492 --> 00:32:07,293
That is all you will ever be.

444
00:32:07,427 --> 00:32:09,729
What did you say?

445
00:32:09,863 --> 00:32:12,265
- She killed our people.
- You killed mine.

446
00:32:12,399 --> 00:32:15,402
Me, I also came here a captive.

447
00:32:15,535 --> 00:32:18,271
Do you think yourself
better than me?

448
00:32:18,405 --> 00:32:19,506
No, ajahi.

449
00:32:19,639 --> 00:32:21,975
If you make it
through the final test,

450
00:32:22,108 --> 00:32:24,411
you are one of us.

451
00:32:24,544 --> 00:32:27,447
No matter where you come from.

452
00:32:31,451 --> 00:32:33,453
Hmm. (Sniffs)

453
00:32:38,291 --> 00:32:40,226
Hey, tsetse.

454
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,361
Eat up.

455
00:32:41,494 --> 00:32:44,631
Nanisca favors the strong.

456
00:32:44,764 --> 00:32:47,734
What is the first rule
of training?

457
00:32:51,338 --> 00:32:52,472
(Sighs)

458
00:32:52,605 --> 00:32:55,410
Always obey izogie.

459
00:32:59,446 --> 00:33:01,381
Come with me.

460
00:33:01,514 --> 00:33:03,850
(Insects trilling)

461
00:33:04,984 --> 00:33:07,200
Drink.

462
00:33:07,153 --> 00:33:08,555
What is it?

463
00:33:08,688 --> 00:33:11,458
The only thing the white men
bring worth having.

464
00:33:11,591 --> 00:33:14,260
They call it whiskey.

465
00:33:14,394 --> 00:33:15,662
(Chuckles)

466
00:33:15,795 --> 00:33:19,766
There. We finally found
a way to quiet tse.

467
00:33:19,899 --> 00:33:21,434
You know your tongue
will get you

468
00:33:21,568 --> 00:33:23,436
kicked back to your village.

469
00:33:23,570 --> 00:33:25,739
Why do you challenge
the miganon?

470
00:33:25,872 --> 00:33:27,907
Nawi:
If I'm quiet, she won't see me.

471
00:33:28,410 --> 00:33:30,610
(Scoffs) Do you think she
has time to think about you?

472
00:33:30,744 --> 00:33:34,514
(Scoffs) She is thinking
about the world.

473
00:33:34,647 --> 00:33:37,417
You know she may one day
be the kpojito.

474
00:33:37,550 --> 00:33:39,486
- The woman king?
- Mm-hmm.

475
00:33:39,619 --> 00:33:42,455
But we have not had one
in so many years.

476
00:33:42,589 --> 00:33:44,557
His brother did not honor it,

477
00:33:44,691 --> 00:33:48,428
but king ghezo believes
in tradition.

478
00:33:48,561 --> 00:33:52,399
In the twin gods, mawu and Lisa.

479
00:33:52,532 --> 00:33:54,434
Woman and man.

480
00:33:54,567 --> 00:33:56,302
Equal.

481
00:33:56,436 --> 00:33:58,471
Ghezo will name a woman king.

482
00:33:58,605 --> 00:34:01,374
For the gods and the people.

483
00:34:01,508 --> 00:34:04,411
But is that what
the miganon wants?

484
00:34:04,544 --> 00:34:06,413
I cannot say.

485
00:34:06,579 --> 00:34:09,716
But in the palace,
she is a legend.

486
00:34:09,849 --> 00:34:12,452
Captured as a young soldier.

487
00:34:12,585 --> 00:34:14,454
Given up for dead.

488
00:34:14,587 --> 00:34:16,656
But she returned,

489
00:34:16,790 --> 00:34:21,428
with the oyo *******s' kofes
hanging by her belt.

490
00:34:21,561 --> 00:34:23,830
(Laughing)

491
00:34:27,333 --> 00:34:28,668
(Grunts, gasping)

492
00:34:29,669 --> 00:34:32,906
(Breathing heavily)

493
00:34:46,319 --> 00:34:48,421
Nanisca:
You know I hate that drink.

494
00:34:48,555 --> 00:34:51,424
The king drinks
anything I give him.

495
00:34:51,558 --> 00:34:52,792
The king is young.

496
00:34:52,926 --> 00:34:55,528
He brings that silly wife
to the council.

497
00:34:55,662 --> 00:34:57,797
(Chuckles) Shante.

498
00:34:57,931 --> 00:35:02,736
- Ah, she is ambitious, hmm?
- (Nanisca scoffs)

499
00:35:06,573 --> 00:35:09,376
(Amenza takes deep breath)

500
00:35:09,509 --> 00:35:11,578
(Nanisca grunts)

501
00:35:11,711 --> 00:35:13,546
Tell me the dream, nani.

502
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,982
(Nanisca clicks tongue, groans)

503
00:35:16,116 --> 00:35:21,187
It dispels its magic
if you say the words.

504
00:35:24,524 --> 00:35:26,459
I am in the jungle.

505
00:35:26,593 --> 00:35:28,661
Amenza:
Mm-hmm.

506
00:35:29,896 --> 00:35:34,601
Something is out there,
in the darkness.

507
00:35:36,569 --> 00:35:37,437
A beast.

508
00:35:37,570 --> 00:35:39,806
Angry.

509
00:35:42,575 --> 00:35:44,544
(Nanisca sighs)

510
00:35:44,678 --> 00:35:46,946
I can smell its sweat, its fear.

511
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,830
What does the beast look like?

512
00:35:51,251 --> 00:35:52,786
I don't know.

513
00:35:52,919 --> 00:35:55,689
That is when I wake.

514
00:35:57,557 --> 00:35:59,325
The dream is a warning, no?

515
00:36:00,660 --> 00:36:02,595
We must ask legba.

516
00:36:02,729 --> 00:36:04,731
Oh, no. Not the nuts.

517
00:36:04,864 --> 00:36:07,500
(Scoffs) Do not call them nuts.

518
00:36:07,634 --> 00:36:09,502
(Nanisca chuckling)

519
00:36:09,636 --> 00:36:11,571
They are sacred.

520
00:36:19,679 --> 00:36:22,549
You have enemies gathering.

521
00:36:22,682 --> 00:36:24,284
You must do better than that.

522
00:36:27,787 --> 00:36:29,989
I see fire.

523
00:36:30,123 --> 00:36:35,562
Something or someone
from your past.

524
00:36:35,695 --> 00:36:38,465
(Sighs) This is nonsense.

525
00:36:38,598 --> 00:36:39,933
And your medicine, too.

526
00:36:40,660 --> 00:36:43,603
- I am not even tired.
- Go to the altar.

527
00:36:43,737 --> 00:36:46,840
Leave gifts for the dead.

528
00:36:48,675 --> 00:36:51,277
Do it.

529
00:36:51,411 --> 00:36:56,116

respect your own dream.

738
00:54:50,900 --> 00:54:53,393
You think I could
have my pants now?

739
00:54:58,732 --> 00:55:01,634
I saw you in ouidah.

740
00:55:01,768 --> 00:55:03,670
Why are you here in the jungle?

741
00:55:03,803 --> 00:55:06,606
I am going to dahomey.

742
00:55:06,740 --> 00:55:10,243
The place my mother told me
so much about.

743
00:55:10,377 --> 00:55:13,680
Perhaps I will
see you there, too.

744
00:55:13,813 --> 00:55:16,649
If you are allowed
into the palace.

745
00:55:41,808 --> 00:55:43,877
I am Malik.

746
00:55:44,778 --> 00:55:46,713
Santo:
Malik!

(Indistinct chatter, laughter)

750
00:56:05,331 --> 00:56:08,535
I do not like
this young captain.

751
00:56:08,668 --> 00:56:10,637
Puffed up like a banty rooster.

752
00:56:10,770 --> 00:56:11,905
Finally, we agree.

753
00:56:12,380 --> 00:56:13,373

Ghezo:
So you are now a captain, eh?

756
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:27,987
- Si.
- Very good.

757
00:56:28,121 --> 00:56:29,956
(Speaking Portuguese)

758
00:56:33,930 --> 00:56:35,950
Ghezo:
Well done.

759
00:56:41,735 --> 00:56:44,337
You have my thanks.

760
00:56:54,814 --> 00:56:57,650
My mother was also taken.

761
00:56:57,784 --> 00:57:00,530
Sold by my brother.

762
00:57:00,186 --> 00:57:02,622
I have many men in your country
searching for her,

763
00:57:02,756 --> 00:57:04,691
and they will bring her back.

764
00:57:04,824 --> 00:57:06,426
It is a must. (Chuckles)

765
00:57:06,559 --> 00:57:09,662
And, uh, if they find
your mother,

766
00:57:09,796 --> 00:57:11,698
they will bring her back, too.

767
00:57:11,831 --> 00:57:13,500
I have just buried her.

768
00:57:13,633 --> 00:57:16,936
It was her dying wish
that I come to her home.

769
00:57:17,700 --> 00:57:19,272
The only place
she was ever free.

770
00:57:20,573 --> 00:57:22,575
This is your home.

771
00:57:22,709 --> 00:57:24,711

772
00:57:24,844 --> 00:57:27,514

774
00:57:29,820 --> 00:57:30,784

775
00:57:30,917 --> 00:57:32,819
So please sit, eh?

776
00:57:32,952 --> 00:57:34,788
Go. Go on, sit. Go.

777
00:57:34,921 --> 00:57:37,323
Prepare the seats for them.

778
00:57:40,493 --> 00:57:42,195

- (Cattle mooing)

1292
01:35:14,948 --> 01:35:16,816

(Panting heavily)

1296
01:35:24,391 --> 01:35:26,659
Fumbe (voice-over): They were
taking us to the barracoons.

1297
01:35:26,726 --> 01:35:28,795
How many others?

1298
01:35:28,928 --> 01:35:30,563
Uh, three, I think.

1299
01:35:30,697 --> 01:35:32,932
- Izogie?
- Uh...

1300
01:35:33,660 --> 01:35:34,801
I did not see her.

1301
01:35:36,202 --> 01:35:38,605
Nawi said to throw myself
off the wagon.

1302
01:35:38,738 --> 01:35:40,907
Nawi?

1303
01:35:45,912 --> 01:35:48,480
Miganon, ajahi.

1304
01:35:48,181 --> 01:35:50,350
The king requests you.

1305
01:35:50,483 --> 01:35:54,187
I have brought you here
because I have chosen kpojito.

1306
01:35:54,320 --> 01:35:57,257
Kpojito is beloved
of the people.

1307
01:35:57,390 --> 01:36:01,261
She must be deserving of their
admiration and their trust.

1308
01:36:01,394 --> 01:36:05,765
We must share the same vision
for our future.

1309
01:36:05,899 --> 01:36:07,670
A bold future.

1310
01:36:07,200 --> 01:36:11,805
For that reason,
I have chosen nanisca.

1311
01:36:15,942 --> 01:36:17,377
She is a common soldier.

1312
01:36:17,510 --> 01:36:19,112
- Will you sit down.
- Ruined by the enemy.

1313
01:36:19,145 --> 01:36:21,815
- Sit down and be quiet!
- Shante.

1314
01:36:24,417 --> 01:36:28,888
Kelu, efe, go and talk to her.
Go, go, go.

1315
01:36:30,123 --> 01:36:32,192
We will celebrate.

1316
01:36:32,325 --> 01:36:34,194
We will bring the city
to the palace,

1317
01:36:34,327 --> 01:36:35,895
and we will have a big feast.

1318
01:36:36,290 --> 01:36:37,931
Go and prepare.

1319
01:36:44,300 --> 01:36:46,390
Iniya:
Well done.

1320
01:36:59,190 --> 01:37:01,988
My king, it is a great honor.

1321
01:37:02,122 --> 01:37:04,257
But perhaps it is too soon,

1322
01:37:04,391 --> 01:37:06,126
when we have lost
so many soldiers

1323
01:37:06,259 --> 01:37:07,861
and the people are grieving.

1324
01:37:07,994 --> 01:37:09,863
Grieving?

1325
01:37:09,996 --> 01:37:10,864
No one is grieving.

1326
01:37:10,997 --> 01:37:12,132
We have won.

1327
01:37:12,265 --> 01:37:13,900
We have thrown off the yoke.

1328
01:37:14,340 --> 01:37:15,902
My king, I wish to seek
our lost agojie.

1329
01:37:16,360 --> 01:37:17,137
Some were taken captive.

1330
01:37:17,270 --> 01:37:18,605
They will be sold,
used by the men.

1331
01:37:18,638 --> 01:37:21,541
Nanisca, the moment
you seek is here.

1332
01:37:21,675 --> 01:37:23,576
The few have been sacrificed
for the many.

1333
01:37:23,710 --> 01:37:26,579
- Now we must move forward.
- I can go alone. Let me try.

1334
01:37:26,713 --> 01:37:29,582
- The oyo...
- You disobey me, nanisca.

1335
01:37:29,716 --> 01:37:33,353
Are you confusing
my admiration for weakness?

1336
01:37:34,200 --> 01:37:36,322
I am your king.

1337
01:37:36,456 --> 01:37:40,894
Let me tell you, you will not
seek out those captives.

1338
01:37:41,270 --> 01:37:42,996
You must stay by my side

1339
01:37:43,129 --> 01:37:45,899
and take the honor I bestow you.

1340
01:37:46,900 --> 01:37:49,235
Do not force my anger.

1341
01:38:00,747 --> 01:38:02,649

1342

(Door opens)

1343
01:38:04,317 --> 01:38:06,219
Izogie (voice-over):
In the morning, they will come.

1344
01:38:06,252 --> 01:38:08,154
- Back up! Move it! Move it!
- Get back! Back!

1345
01:38:08,288 --> 01:38:10,390

- Back! Move it!

Move!

1350
01:38:24,337 --> 01:38:27,607
Izogie (voice-over): They will
take the agojie first.

1351
01:38:27,741 --> 01:38:30,760
(Chains clanking)

1352
01:38:49,362 --> 01:38:51,431
When we are brought
to the block,

1353
01:38:51,564 --> 01:38:54,340
we will be unshackled.

1354
01:38:54,167 --> 01:38:56,503
We will have our legs.

1355
01:39:06,479 --> 01:39:09,916
We must not let them see
my arm is broken.

1356
01:39:19,526 --> 01:39:23,263
When we are sold,
that will be the moment.

1357
01:39:23,396 --> 01:39:25,231
You will make a distraction.

1358

Oba, you said you would
be good to me here.

1361
01:39:32,872 --> 01:39:35,410
Mm-mm. It will go
to the highest bidder.

1362
01:39:35,175 --> 01:39:38,244
Izogie (voice-over): We will
each disarm a guard and run.

1363
01:39:38,378 --> 01:39:41,348
Do not stop
until you reach the water.

1364
