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?
00:59I lost everything.
01:01Calm down.
01:02Oh, my God.
01:03Yes.
01:04I really saw her cure a rhino.
01:07Fine.
01:08If you must know, she's a normal person like you and me.
01:17She's strong-willed, which can be annoying.
01:20She's also one of the best fighters I've ever seen.
01:24Her bow and arrow skills are at first rate.
01:28I thought she was just an Ina from Elu, but she's a warrior.
01:33She's the chosen.
01:57She's the chosen.
02:18She's the chosen.
02:44Yes, I was hoping to get a spokesperson in front of the council to discuss the rising issues in the
02:50workers' district.
02:51As I now know, that would be you.
02:54Oh, well, I cannot leave the district.
02:57I need to be here to help offset the losses the workers have been suffering daily.
03:02And no loss is acceptable to me.
03:05We are people, not just workers.
03:08Yes, this is Bolan Lee, my apprentice.
03:11We have met before, yes?
03:13Pleasure seeing you again.
03:14So, how can we work together?
03:18It appears I made it here in the nick of time, before things got too bad.
03:35Did you really make it in time?
03:43The supernatural is the most powerful of all the chosen 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.
04:02You must feel the world around you now.
04:05You must master your powers to gain a proper understanding of what is to come.
04:10And to help Oluri.
04:13All right.
04:14To help Oluri.
04:16Good.
04:17Now, sit.
04:18Close your eyes, and follow my voice.
04:21Breathe.
04:23Go into your mind, and imagine the cycle of life.
04:29Imagine rain watering the earth, and nourishing the soil.
04:34Imagine 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?
04:55A connection to all of life?
04:57I think so.
04:58Like I felt the rhinoceros.
05:01There.
05:02That is the heart of your supernatural power.
05:06This is how you will free Yoruba Land.
05:09Come.
05:15Aw.
05:16Such a cute, fluffy rabbit.
05:20Yay!
05:21You'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.
05:35And 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.
05:55In a peace, oneness, oneness.
05:59Empathy.
05:59Surrender.
06:00No inner peace, oneness, empathy.
06:04I can't do this without use.
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 Onori.
06:18Never mind that now, child.
06:20You must master your powers and go to the source.
06:24Forget 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 Onori.
06:42Hey!
06:44Stop standing around looking at her.
06:46Didn't I tell you to finish collecting shells to make beads?
06:50Bea, you're staring at me too.
06:54No, I wasn't staring, though.
06:57I'm the same person you were calling Ina a little while ago, you know?
07:01I know.
07:03It's not that.
07:05It's...
07:07I 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.
07:21I don't get anything, right?
07:23No, you 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.
07:49It is not meant to be easy.
07:51But it is what you must do.
07:59Wanda!
08:00Nice shot for an in...
08:04I mean, Iyanu.
08:06Nice shot, Iyanu.
08:08Come on, cheer up.
08:10You will master your powers eventually.
08:12I know it's intense.
08:15But I really do understand what you're going through.
08:18But how can you?
08:19You 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,
08:38I'm not great at cheering people up.
08:40But I'm trying.
08:42I...
08:43It's not you.
08:45Just leave me alone, okay?
08:50You know,
08:52I do know what it's like
08:53to have the pressure of the whole world
08:55on your shoulders
08:56when you didn't ask for it.
09:00It's too much.
09:03My father used to say,
09:04the world seeks
09:06and rewards those who strive to make it better.
09:10Okay.
09:11But making the world better
09:12is a lot for one girl to do.
09:15That's why you're not doing it alone.
09:18So,
09:19what happened to your father?
09:23My father tried to do great things for our people.
09:27But greedy,
09:29corrupt politicians
09:31had their own selfish goals.
09:34So they got rid of my father
09:35and exiled me.
09:37After he was gone,
09:39I was on my own,
09:41completely alone in the world.
09:42Until Mama Showa found me
09:44and took me in.
09:46Just like I was a loon in the world,
09:49Once of a Laurie found me.
09:51So,
09:53I guess we do have more in common than I thought.
09:57More than you know.
10:10General Kang-Fu,
10:11footprints.
10:13These tracks must belong to the girl
10:15based 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,
10:29I don't think she was.
10:30Bless the young and hopeful.
10:32But I find it highly improbable
10:34that 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, Tui?
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.
10:57Hmm.
10:58The boy might be right.
11:02Good work, son.
11:05We 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
11:20to the so-called chosen,
11:22even if it is false wonders.
11:27Father,
11:27I've never been so far
11:29outside the walls of Elu.
11:31And we're about to travel even farther.
11:36The horses are spooked.
11:38Something is happening.
11:49Warriors!
11:50The Rot Leopards!
11:55Get into Formel!
12:00Father!
12:01I'm scared.
12:02It will be all right, son.
12:04Just stay in the chariots,
12:05no matter what.
12:05Yes, father.
12:06Father!
12:26Father!
12:34Father!
12:35Look out!
12:36Oh no. What would bother you?
12:40Stay back. Do not come any closer.
12:45Oh no! Stop that! Please?
12:50No, no, no, no, no, no!
12:56Yay!
13:01Toyer!
13:08Toyer! Where are you, son?
13:15Father! Father!
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?
13:40I understand your anger and frustration, but I want to change the way the Elumesi governs.
13:46Your uncle, the previous Obadini, 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.
14:02Yoruba, I will believe it's when I see it.
14:06Oh, it's great!
14:08I hate snakes!
14:12Why do we always get the worst job?
14:15Ah!
14:16I can't move back to make you feel so poor!
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, there is only one thing I need.
14:49Power!
14:50And I know why you need it.
15:02Go safely, my darlings.
15:04Your father and I are so proud of you.
15:07It is a great honor to be chosen to be the agents of change
15:11that will let us reclaim our ancestral homeland.
15:16You 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 will 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.
16:09Their oba 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.
16:30I will find a way to get all the power I need to protect us and free our people.
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, even 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, that'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.
17:41But I didn't notice any traps, and the Esher Scouts are so careful.
17:46I also have no idea how the Riverlands knew we were coming.
17:50But never mind that now.
17:52Oya, let'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 about me.
18:22I know how to handle a few...
18:25A lot of snakes.
18:26Go, now.
18:28Help me.
18:29Help me.
18:30Help me.
18:33You do nothing but talk.
18:36This 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.
18:52Oh, 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.
19:03For now.
19:05I will try to hold my people off for as long as I can.
19:08I understand.
19:16Eshaw 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 Kang-Fu,
19:35why are the Eshaw in the Riverlands?
19:38We have done nothing wrong.
19:40We have been cooperative with Elu.
19:42We provide you with goods and you do nothing for us.
19:46As usual.
19:47Shewa, this is not an invasion.
19:51We are only here for the girl.
19:54Give her to me and we will go in peace.
19:58But if you do not, well, you will find out what happens.
20:03If you disobey the Eshaw, I assure you, it will not be pretty.
20:08General, I have survived under the harshest of conditions my entire life.
20:14I do not care about pretty.
20:17Guards, keep the child safe.
20:22I will only ask you one more time.
20:27Give the girl to me!
20:30I 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 Eshaw.
20:49You may be the chosen, but I take orders from Mama Shewa.
20:54Me?
20:55What is it?
20:57There?
20:59Look!
21:07Who are they?
21:08The people of the deep!
21:19Who are you?
21:23Who are they?
21:24You are?
21:25You are on her.
21:27You are.
21:29Who are you?
21:31You are on her.
21:34Whether you are new7-egen faded breaks.
21:36You are!
21:37You are you are?
21:41You are!
21:41You are you are!
21:43You are you are!
21:44You Are
21:45OUT!
21:46You are!
21:46Michelle Green
