00:00Previously on Iyanu.
00:01Iyanu, you're awake.
00:03How do you know my name?
00:05Mama Shewa takes care of everyone in the Riverlands.
00:08Perhaps you can help us return to an age of wonders.
00:12Am I supposed to believe that the finest warriors of Elu cannot find a single little girl?
00:18I take full responsibility.
00:20She's outnumbered.
00:21Wait.
00:25God, stop at once.
00:27This girl is the chosen.
00:30She's over there.
00:31At dawn, we move out.
00:32Yes, sir.
00:33Do you know what I think about often?
00:36I think about what you have become, brother.
00:45Hurry up.
00:47Mr. Ogbeni is waiting on these.
00:49So, what you like?
00:51The chosen?
00:52Do her eyes really glow blue?
00:54Does she have lightning inside her like Divine Imola?
00:56Did you really see her cure around us?
00:59Why does she lose everything?
01:00No.
01:00Calm down.
01:02All right?
01:03Yes.
01:04I really saw her cure a rhino.
01:07Fine.
01:08If you must know, she's...
01:11In a more person like you and me.
01:14Oh!
01:15All right, she's strong-willed which can be annoying. She's also one of the best fighters I've ever seen. Her
01:25bow and arrow skills are at first rate. I thought she was just an Ina from Elu, but she's a
01:32warrior. She's the chosen.
02:02She's the authoritarian version of Elu Anir
02:18Good day, sir. I am Foreign Minister Uwa, and I would like to speak to you about some important changes
02:25I would like to make in Elu.
02:27I am Omolola, and I speak for the workers in this district.
02:32Forgive me. I wrongfully assumed.
02:35Do not give it another thought, Foreign Minister. You wanted to speak with me?
02:40Thank you for your grace, Omolola.
02:43Ahem. Yes, I was hoping to get a spokesperson in front of the council to discuss the rising issues in
02:50the workers' district.
02:51As I now know, that would be you.
02:54Oh. Well, I cannot leave the district. I need to be here to help offset the losses the workers have
03:01been suffering daily, and no loss is acceptable to me.
03:05We are people, not just workers.
03:08This is Bolanle, my apprentice.
03:10We have met before, yes? Pleasure seeing you again.
03:15So, how can we work together?
03:18It appears I made it here in the nick of time, before things got too bad.
03:24Hmm.
03:35Did you really make it in time?
03:38Those corrupt snakes would beg to differ.
03:43The supernatural is the most powerful of all the chosen's powers, and the most difficult, as it requires empathy.
03:50What if it's harder than my natural and unnatural powers, and I haven't mastered those yet?
03:56This is going to take forever, and Oluri needs me.
04:00There's no time to waste. You must fill the world around you now.
04:04You must master your powers to gain a proper understanding of what is to come, and to help Oluri.
04:12All right. To help Oluri.
04:16Good. Now, sit. Close your eyes, and follow my voice. Breathe. Go into your mind, and imagine the cycle of
04:27life.
04:29Imagine rain watering the earth, and nourishing the soil. Imagine life growing out of it.
04:41That life feeds other life.
04:45And one day, that life returns to the soil from where it came.
04:53Did you feel it? A connection to all of life?
04:57I think so. Like I felt the rhinoceros.
05:01There. That is the heart of your supernatural power.
05:06This is how you will free Yoruba land. Come.
05:16Aw. Such a cute, fluffy rabbit.
05:20Yay! You're not so cute anymore.
05:23Why haven't I learned by now?
05:25I long for the day animals' eyes don't shine like lanterns.
05:29You can help with that, Chosen.
05:32First, find the feeling you just found, and free this rabbit.
05:36But, I don't know if I can do it on demand.
05:40The rhino thing was an accident.
05:43I wish I had the glistening powder Oluri used to free the animals.
05:47You must learn to access your powers from within.
05:52Now, close your eyes and focus.
05:55Inner peace, oneness, empathy.
05:59Surrender.
06:00No.
06:01Inner peace, oneness, empathy.
06:04I can't do this without you.
06:07It's no use.
06:09I'm trying to connect to the energy and feel the rabbits.
06:13But, all I feel is that something bad is happening to Oluri.
06:18Never mind that now, child.
06:20You must master your powers and go to the source.
06:23Forget about what you want to do.
06:26This is what you need to do.
06:28But, she said I could decide after you helped me with my powers.
06:32So, I'm sorry, Mama Shewa.
06:35But, I need to save Oluri.
06:42Hey!
06:44Stop standing around looking at her.
06:46Didn't I tell you to finish collecting shells to make beads?
06:50Uh, Bea, you're staring at me too.
06:53Eh.
06:54No, I, I, I wasn't staring at me.
06:57I'm the same person you were calling Inna a little while ago, you know?
07:01I know.
07:03It's not that.
07:06It's, I know what you're going through.
07:09There's no way you could ever know how I'm feeling right now.
07:13Well, you might be the chosen.
07:15But, you don't know everything.
07:17I just don't see how you could have any idea what I'm dealing with.
07:21All right, I don't get anything, right?
07:23No.
07:24You don't...
07:25Fine.
07:25Fine.
07:29You still have much work to do to manage the chaos within, child.
07:34Look how you responded to Be.
07:36But, Mama Shewa, how can I manage chaos when everything is chaotic?
07:42And he's so annoying.
07:44You're annoying.
07:45At the moment, you are both annoying.
08:17It is not meant to be easy.
08:18How can you?
08:19How can you?
08:20You said yourself.
08:21All of your bad land is depending on me.
08:24So, no pressure at all.
08:27Do you want to try shooting the manga again?
08:29Bet you won't get it this time.
08:33Hey!
08:34Watch the face.
08:37Look, I'm not great at cheering people up, but I'm trying.
08:42I...
08:43It's not you.
08:45Just leave me alone, okay?
08:50You know, I do know what it's like to have the pressure of the whole world on your shoulders when
08:57you didn't ask for it.
09:00It's too much.
09:02My father used to say, the world seeks and rewards those who strive to make it better.
09:10Okay.
09:11But making the world better is a lot for one girl to do.
09:15That's why you're not doing it alone.
09:19So, what happened to your father?
09:23My father tried to do great things for our people, but greedy, corrupt politicians had their own selfish goals.
09:34So, they got rid of my father and exiled me.
09:37After he was gone, I was on my own, completely alone in the world, until Mama Showa found me and
09:45took me in.
09:46Just like I was alone in the world, until Oluri found me.
09:53So, I guess we do have more in common than I thought.
09:57More than you know.
10:10General Kung Fu, footprints.
10:13These tracks must belong to the girl, based on the size and freshness of them.
10:18And these tracks belong to a large animal.
10:22The girl's tracks end here.
10:24She was probably taken by a corrupted beast.
10:27With respect, sir, I don't think she was.
10:30Bless the young and hopeful.
10:32But I find it highly improbable that a child could survive out here by herself.
10:37Even one of so-called false wonders.
10:40Let us hear what my son has to say.
10:42Why do you think that, Toei?
10:44Look at the impressions of the footprints.
10:46They are all evenly spaced.
10:48Which suggests that she was running.
10:51And this one.
10:52Look how deep the impression is.
10:54I think she jumped.
10:55Probably to escape the corrupt animal.
10:58Hmm.
10:58The boy might be right.
11:03Good work, son.
11:04We will follow the river.
11:06And hopefully, pick up our tracks again.
11:08Good idea, father.
11:10Hurry.
11:11We need to get to the girl fast.
11:14Before anyone else stops.
11:16Once word spreads,
11:18many people will want to get to the so-called chosen.
11:22Even if it is false wonders.
11:27Father.
11:28I've never been so far outside the walls of Elu.
11:31And we're about to travel even farther.
11:35The horses are spooked.
11:38Something is happening.
11:48Warriors!
11:50The Rot-Leopards!
11:54Get into familial!
12:00Father.
12:01I'm scared.
12:02It will be all right, son.
12:04Just stay in the chariots, Numatawa.
12:05Yes, father.
12:11Father.
12:34Father, look out.
12:36Oh, no.
12:38What would father do?
12:39Stay back.
12:42Do not come any closer.
12:45Oh, no.
12:46Stop that.
12:48Please.
12:50No, no, no, no, no, no.
12:56Yay!
13:01Toye!
13:04Toye!
13:08Toye!
13:08Where are you, son?
13:12Where are you, son?
13:15Father!
13:16Father!
13:17Father!
13:18Here!
13:25There is great dissatisfaction amongst the people here.
13:28And if something isn't done soon, things could explode like a powder keg.
13:33That is why I'm inviting you to speak to the council.
13:36Where were you when children were being exiled for stealing mangoes?
13:40Eh?
13:40I understand your anger and frustration, but I want to change the way the Elumesi governs.
13:46Your uncle, the previous Obadini, he tried to enact reforms that were going to help all of Yoruba land.
13:54My uncle and I spoke about the reforms he dreamt of making.
13:58I assure you I intend to follow through on his desires, my people.
14:02Hero!
14:02Well, I'll believe it's when I see it.
14:06Oh, my snakes!
14:08I hate snakes!
14:12Why do we always get the worst job?
14:15Ah!
14:16I can't move that snake!
14:18It's me!
14:20Badu!
14:23The situation is far more urgent than I thought!
14:34Free at last!
14:37Good work, Chancellor.
14:40Now give your life to me, and I will release you from your pain.
14:45Ah!
14:46There is only one thing I need.
14:49Power!
14:50And I know why you need it.
14:54Ah!
15:02Go safely, my darlings.
15:04Your father and I are so proud of you.
15:08It is a great honor to be chosen to be the agents of change that will let us reclaim our
15:13ancestral homeland.
15:15You are the pride of the deep, my children.
15:19Do not fret.
15:20But I don't want to go.
15:23Oh, yes, stop it.
15:24You are embarrassing us.
15:26You should be proud you and Remy were chosen for this very important task.
15:31You will infiltrate the city and help your people.
15:34That is all there is to it.
15:36We'll meet again after you complete your mission, all right?
15:40Take this.
15:41Wear it and feel me close to you.
15:44And no harm will come to you.
15:46You must always remember your mission and where you come from.
15:57Oye, I'm scared.
15:59What if the room lets us into Elu?
16:02We will have to go back and admit that we failed.
16:05Father will be angry and ashamed.
16:07Do not worry, Remy.
16:09Do not worry, Remy.
16:10Oye has a reputation for being kind-hearted.
16:12He will not turn away too often children.
16:15Just remember, from now on, you must call me Nuru.
16:21Oye is gone and so is Remy.
16:24Here, take this.
16:26It will make you feel safe.
16:28I promise, I will find a way to get all the power I need to protect us and free our
16:35people.
16:36By the time I am done, we will never again know what it is like to feel powerless.
16:49Yes, I know all.
16:57You got all teary-eyed when I was telling you my story.
17:00So, does that mean you care about me?
17:03No.
17:05I'm just saying that you were feeling empathy.
17:08Even though everything is chaotic.
17:11That is what Mamashawa said you have to feel to master your supernatural powers.
17:17Yeah, you're right.
17:19I felt empathy.
17:20That's all.
17:22Thanks, Bee.
17:24Oh, no.
17:26The perimeter has been breached.
17:28What's the perimeter?
17:30That's the Riverlands border.
17:32And the fact that it's been breached is very bad news.
17:35We have to go now.
17:38The people of the Riverlands must have been alerted to our presence.
17:42But I didn't notice any traps.
17:44And the Eshira Scouts are so careful.
17:46I also have no idea how the Riverlanders knew we were coming.
17:50But never mind that now.
17:51Oh, yeah.
17:53Let's go.
17:54Double time.
17:55Time is running out.
17:58Who's breached the perimeter?
18:00Why are you so scared?
18:02What's going on?
18:03Trust me.
18:04You will find out.
18:14I catch them in the net.
18:16Oh, Malala, it is really snakes.
18:18Find a safe place to stay.
18:20What about you?
18:20Do not worry.
18:22Do not worry about me.
18:22I know how to handle a few...
18:25A lot of snakes.
18:27Go.
18:27Now.
18:28Help me.
18:29Help me.
18:29Help me.
18:33You do nothing but talk.
18:35This is your chance to do something.
18:38I will.
18:39I promise.
18:40Just give me a chance.
18:43No.
18:44I can't leave, Minister.
18:46We have strict orders to keep you out of danger.
18:48And this is getting dangerous.
18:51Oh, Malala, I will return with the help you need.
18:54I swear on my uncle Obadeni's memory.
18:58Because your uncle was a good man whom I trusted,
19:02I will believe you for now.
19:05I will try to hold my people off for as long as I can.
19:08I understand.
19:16Are you sure warriors?
19:18Yes, sir.
19:20I know him.
19:21Oh, I see all you Inas know each other.
19:24Maybe we do.
19:26Outer.
19:28See?
19:28Not so funny now.
19:34General Kangfo,
19:35why are they ashore in the Riverlands?
19:38We have done nothing wrong.
19:40We have been cooperative with Elu.
19:42We provide you with goods,
19:44and you do nothing for us, as usual.
19:47Shewa,
19:48this is not an invasion.
19:51We are only here for the girl.
19:54Give her to me,
19:55and we will go in peace.
19:58But if you do not,
20:00well,
20:01you will find out what happens
20:03if you disobey Vyashore.
20:05I assure you,
20:06it will not be pretty.
20:08General,
20:09I have survived under the harshest of conditions
20:12my entire life.
20:14I do not care about pretty.
20:17Guards,
20:18keep the child safe.
20:22I will only ask you one more time.
20:27give the girl to me.
20:31I will answer only once more.
20:34No.
20:35They are willing to risk their lives to protect me?
20:38Yes,
20:39because they believe in you.
20:42We all do.
20:43I will not let anything happen to them because of me.
20:46Let me out.
20:48I can face the Ashore.
20:49You may be the chosen,
20:50but I take orders from Mama Shewa.
20:55B?
20:55What is it?
20:56There?
20:59Look!
21:07Who are they?
21:08The people of the deep!
21:10I can face it.
21:17You are,
21:19you are,
21:21you are.
21:23You're,
21:25you are,
21:33yunayÑŽ,
21:34you know you're,
21:36you are.
21:37You are,
21:38you are,
