01x05 - Otin

[bunniefuu]

[Otin] Subject, Otin.
Purpose, Project Ija Alpha Sigma.

Current mission, loading.

[device whirs]

It looks like you get
to experience the real world.

[Otin] Is it much different
to the simulations we have run?

Mmm. Think of it like screen resolution.

There's low res, medium res,
high res, et cetera.

The world is just the high resolution
version of the simulations.

You have all the knowledge
you need to see out your mission.

[Otin] Without ija mode, my ability
to protect Tola will be limited.

[laughs] You're not going to need it.

Tola is not the type
to get herself into trouble.

[Otin] Yes, that was the mission.

Observe the world.
Observe Tola, but she was kidnapped.

[Otin] The engineer said
this would not happen.

But it did.

He said the simulation would teach me
all I need to know about the world.

-It did not.
-[device beeping]

[Otin] Upon reflection,
he has been isolated.

Isolated from his daughter.
Isolated from the world.

Perhaps I should be more like Tola,

charging headfirst into the unknown.

Like Tola, I can seek out
my own firsthand experiences.

Now that my recovery protocols have begun,

the next step should be
to contact the police.

However, I believe
I am Tola's best hope of rescue.

Otin. You sabi talk?

I dey mad? Na dream be this?

You be lizard.

I am a Greenwood Tech robot
designed to protect Tola.

Where is Tola?

[gasps, groans]

You have her lenses.

She dropped them...

helping me.

Him! He sabi where she dey!

[yelps]

Wait!

Wait!

My guy, forget about Kole.
We gats to move now now.

[groans]

Oya, oya. Go!

[Kole pants]

[sighs]

Kole. What are you doing here?
Where is Otin?

She went after the bad man.

What? Was Tola with them?

I'm sorry, sa.

If I no help them, she would be home.
I'm sorry.

You had something to do with this? Huh?

He said I didn't have a choice.
I know no wetin I suppose do.

What's his name?

Bode de Sousa.

I... I can help you.

[sucks teeth, groans]

Let's go. I want to know everything.

My friend, get in the back.

[sighs]

Start from the beginning.

Well, my mama na amazing woman.

I wan make her proud.

[sighs]

I wish that was enough.

Him mama raise him well well.

Him go dey all right.

[chuckles, sighs]

Thank you for checking him. And me.

[Bode grunts] Can... Can you imagine?

They go to America to spend their money
while people here are starving.

And people call me the criminal.

I mean, it's not my fault
my parents were born poor.

I mean, these people just dey chop,
and me too, I want to chop.

I mean, so what I wear Gucci?

I can wear them because I know
what it is like to sacrifice.

You know why my people look at me
with such respect?

They say, "Big man, we love you.
Only you can help us."

That is the kind of love
everyone should want. [chuckles]

Uncle? You know, an islander like me
could learn a lot from you.

Ah-ah! You are smart, oh.

-[chuckles]
-The rest of you are olodos.

And this little girl understands more
than all of you!

Eh, Happiness.

We need to put her to work, oh.

[stammers] You said we need, eh...
[laughing] ...more women on the team, abi.

[chuckling]

-Ohun to ba gben...
-[gasps]

...ohun lo maa ka.

[chuckles]

[Bode, in Yoruba]
Ẹnikan o le gbin ila ko ka koko.

Ah, ah!

[device dings]

[chickens clucking]

[Bode] Toba niwa tutu, ohun gbogbo loni.

Ah, ah! [speaks English]
What happened to your face?

Where is that snake Kole?

He is not a snake. He is my friend.

So you think Happiness and Sunday
just showed up at the market by mistake?

[breathing heavily]

[chuckles]

He told us exactly where you would be
and how to get you.

He's a snake
that betrays all of his friends.

What happened?

I don get am
then this agama lizard come att*ck me!

You think I'm a fool?

I swear for my life I neva seen lizard
like that before.

Th... The ting be like robot.

-[gasps]
-Robot?

Ah.

It is her fada.

[groans] And... Were you followed?

Uh-uh.

[Bode grunts]

[chuckles]

-This islander thinks he can b*at me?
-[sighs]

He thinks he can keep what is mine?

[sighs]

Your daddy is really showing
what's important to him.

If it were me,
I would pay everything for you.

But he thinks it is better for him
to come after me with his silly gadgets

instead of saving you.

[sighs]

[sighs]

-[vehicles honking]
-[people shouting, chattering]

[grunting]

[groans]

[grunting]

Tola.

-[shrieks]
-[thud]

[gasps]

-[Bode] If I fought a tiny lizard...
-I saw a rat.

...I would have crushed it
with my bare hands.

But it's fine.

I can deal with it.

[Bode] Most of them know nothing
about suffering.

[door closes]

Otin? Otin?



[beeping]

-[Otin] Yes?
-[gasps]

So you're really a robot?

I am a Greenwood Tech robot.

And all this time,
you knew what was going on?

You understood everything?

My assignment was thoroughly explained
to me.

[sighs]

So he made you for me
and didn't even tell me?

And now he's trying to fight this man.

Who does that?

[sighs]

And all I have is you.

Se you'll save me?

My ija mode function allows me
to do just that,

but I cannot engage that function
with my current battery issue.

Oh. You're a robot that cannot robot.

[sighs]

It's just me.

[Kole] And he has a big statue
of his own head.

And he get shark for ground.

Do you recognize any of this?

Wait!

[chickens clucking]

[Tunde groans]

I don't think he's hiding
in a chicken shack. What else do you know?

[Kole] Um, he's never alone.

-Who's with him?
-Brother Sunday. He used to be a boxer.

And Ms. Happiness. She carries books.
I hear say they be weapons.

And she dey tear out the pages
and throw them like ninja stars.

Like... [imitates whooshing sound]

Eh, eh, eh! Stop this.

Sorry, sa.

Wait. You said Sunday was a boxer?

[sighs] Okay.

Sunday Adelekan.

This is good.

But not enough.

[sucks teeth]

[gasps]

I get something.

Eh?

My mama say
whenever I'm around powerful people,

I should hold on to everything they say.

I went, "Ha! Ha-ha!"

[speaks indistinctly, grunting]

-I gave 'em chop knuckle.
-Oh.

-Then I gave 'em giddigbo.
-[grunts, pants]

-Knockout!
-[lackeys chuckle]

[phone buzzes]

Ah. Bankole.

[Bode] Their money has blinded them.

I take their children to teach
these ungrateful parents a lesson.

You sabi, hmm?

The money is what I deserve
for helping them with their problem.

-What do you think you are doing?
-[Tunde] This ends now, Mr. de Sousa.

I want my daughter.

Or what?

[Tunde] You'll see.

-[line clicks]
-[grunts]

-[Bode growling]
-[Sunday grunting]

[Bode] You.

Ogbeni. You said you were not followed!
[grunts]

[inhales deeply, growls]

[device beeps]

That's it. We don get am, abi?

If he calls back, he's scared.

And then we have him.

[inhales deeply, groans]

Go!

-[Tunde] Yes.
-You are not on the island anymore.

In this part of town, nah me be the oga.

[Tunde] Hard to be the boss
when you are in prison.

Oh, you think say you get sense.

[Tunde] Oh, I know I do.

I want my daughter.

She is happy here. Everyone likes her.
And she likes the way we live.

[Tunde] Listen, this is not a game.
Stop stalling.

Ah. Okay, okay.

I will give her to you.

-But after you give me that recording.
-Good.

[Bode] But how do I know
you haven't made copies?

No islander is a man of his word.

[scoffs, speaks Yoruba] Emi kii se eke.

[gasps]

[grunts]

[in English] What do you see?
Can you get out?

[Otin] There is a barrier
blocking the way.

[door unlocking]

[gasps]

Daddy!

-Tola. Let me see my daughter.
-[grunts]

[Tunde] Let me see my daughter!
