BEFORE IT WAS CALLED BENIN,
THIS LAND WAS KNOWN AS DAHOMEY,
A KINGDOM FAMOUS
FOR ITS ARMY OF AMAZONS,
WHO WERE KNOWN AS AGOJIE -
OUR MOTHERS.
THEY WERE TASKED
WITH DEFENDING THEIR PEOPLE
AGAINST FOREIGN THREATS.
[CHANTING AMAZON HYMN]
THE AGOJIE
WERE SEMI-DIVINE IN NATURE;
THEY ENROLLED
AT THE AGE OF EIGHAND REMAINED VIRGINS
UNTIL THEY WERE DISCHARGED.
BEFORE BATTLE, THE AMAZONS WOULD
CHANT A HYMN AT THEIR ENEMIES.
ONCE THE ENEMY HEARD THIS HYMN,
THEY KNEW
THERE WAS NO TURNING BACK.
THE HYMN'S WORDS SAY:
"THIS IS NOT MY HOME.
SO I SWEEP ALL BEFORE ME,
RETURN TO MY HOME,
AND HERE YOU SHALL REMAIN."
CHILD:
It's similar.
MOTHER:
To what?
CHILD:
The sky in Savalou.
MOTHER:
Yes, except for the sounds.
What sounds?
Yes...
Listen.
[BIRDS TWITTERING,
ANIMALS CHITTERING]
Tell me again
how we got here.
We crossed the sea
on a raft.
There were too many of us.
We were afraid to move,
in case it capsized.
And in the middle
of the night,
we heard a noise.
An engine.
And a baby started crying.
The man steering the boat asked
the mother to make it stop.
And the mother tried.
But the baby kept crying.
The man picked up a g*n
and aimed it at the mother.
He told her to either
shut the baby up
or to throw it overboard.
And there were two babies
on that raft.
But you...
You didn't cry.

Even though her husband
Was the devil himself
The man had
A bit of a temper
And she complained
That he was never tender
For over three years now
She gets letters
From a stranger
Letters filled with poetry
Poetry.
That have
Brought her joy again
Her joy.
Who wrote those words?
-Tell me, who was it?
-Who was it?
Who sent her flowers
Every spring?
Every ninth of November
As always, without a card
He would send
A bouquet of violets
Violets...
Of violets.
Sometimes she dreams
And imagines
How he, who loves her so
Is like
Who loves her so.
Most likely
A man with gray hair
A broad smile and tenderness
In his touch
In his touch, in his touch.
She doesn't know who suffers
In silence
Who can
Her secret lover be?
And so she lives
Day in, day out
With the thrill
Of being loved
Of being loved.
Who wrote those words?
Tell me, who was it?
Who sent her flowers
Every spring?
Violets.
Every ninth of November
As always, without a card
He would send
A bouquet of violets
Of violets, of violets.
And every afternoon
When her husband returns

and he's in trouble.
I just want to talk to Luki.
Where is he?
LUKI:
Officer.
You're confused. The evictions
are one floor down.
[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]
[LUKI SPEAKING IN FRENCH]
[IN SPANISH]
Sorry, we can't help you.
I'm just looking for a kid,
I want to help him.
Ousman,
what's your opinion
of the police?
Police not good.
Not good.
Why are you looking for him?
Ousman.
[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]
[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]
[IN SPANISH]
Why?
Why is the van
still downstairs?
I don't want trouble.
As soon as I find the kid--
[SHUSHES]
You're the one
wearing a uniform.
You're the one
who should be calm.
We're supposed to be nervous.
But that's not the case.
Why?
Don't make me call for backup.
To call for backup,
the first thing you need to do
is turn on your radio.
You didn't look very chummy
with your colleagues back there.
Do you want us to call them?
No.
[GIGGLING]
[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]
Hey, hey, easy!
What's going on?
LUKI:
Don't you recognize her?
You kick her out of her home
and you don't remember her face?
Tell Nasha to shut up
if she wants us to help her
find the kid.
[TRANSLATES
IN FRENCH]
Sit down.
What is it
you need to tell me?
We were deployed for a removal.
"Eviction."
We were joined by another unit
to act as backup.
And they entered a home
that wasn't on the list.
Which apartment?
This guy's apartment,
Ramiro.
[SCOFFS]
Ramiro...
Stop it...
Hey! Do you have kids?
No.
[CALLS NAME]
[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
[IN SPANISH]
Isn't she beautiful?
What would you like her
to be when she grows up?
A doctor? A lawyer?
Or end up wiping
your old folks' asses?
Here. A present.
Where is the money?
What money?
[SCOFFS]
The money Ramiro skimmed.
That's it, isn't it?
Your friend is the enforcer,
collects for the guys upstairs.
And like everybody else,
he always skims his share.
The game is up.
And your colleagues
won't settle for just a taste,
that's why they're here.
[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]
[IN SPANISH]
What about the kid?
They're looking for him,
they think he knows something.
You know...
boys will be boys.
But I get the feeling that,
for white folks,
a Black boy
is just a Black guy.
[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]
Okay?
[IN SPANISH]
That's it. Did it hurt?
Well done, champ.
[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]
[IN SPANISH]
Go on.
Three doses a day.
Since two years ago.
Any idea how expensive this is?
[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]
[SHOUTING IN FRENCH]
Where are you taking her?
[IN SPANISH]
Handing her over to your unit.
Your friends will have better
luck finding the kid with her.
Then they'll leave.
We don't get the money
and you don't get the boy!
-I know where the money is!
-Stop!
Okay.

You stole our home.

Dani, I know you're listening.
Switch to the last channel,
just you and me.
[SWITCH CLICKS]
Are you there?
Yes.
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
That certainly
got out of hand, didn't it?
You couldn't have looked
the other way, could you?
And a trooper is dead now.
A good father...
a good husband...
and a friend.
But you and I
still have a chance.
What do you want?
What is it you want?
I want to go home.
Well, that's up to you, Dani.
All of this can stop
whenever you decide.
And you know it.
Your blood's there,
your fingerprints too,
but we can make
all that go away.
Chalk it all up
to an eviction gone wrong.
Dani, you took some money
that's not yours.
You stole it. What do you
think's going to happen?
That they'll praise you?
Ramiro was a scumbag,
a worthless piece of sh*t.
You know what he did?
He worked for the mafias.
Dani, what have you done?
Because you were there
and what did you do?
Nothing. You had your phone,
overhearing everything,
your g*n...
And you did nothing. Why?
Because you need that money.
Because you wanted that money.
You wanted to rob
those poor people.
That's the truth, Dani.
I haven't stolen any money
from these people.
Dani, I realize
that you have your reasons
in doing what you did,
and believe me,
I'm not judging you.
Because you have
your problems,
I have mine,
these people have theirs.
But you've put your problems
above these people.
You saw that money
and figured:
"Me first.
Then everybody else."
And that,
trooper, doesn't make you
better than me.
You aren't better than us.
What do you want?
Again.
What do you want?
What do you want?
Cervantes is dead
and there's nothing
we can do about it.
But he could have also died
in the line of duty.
As a hero, okay?
A pension for his family.
Imagine what's going to happen
if that video is leaked.
The video and the money.
If it gets out.
Forget about me,
think about what will happen
to you and your family,
to my family.
It's not just you, Dani.
It's not just you.
It's impossible
to erase all of this.
Look, nobody's proud
about what happened here.
I'm not proud
of what I did, Dani.
But we are the law.
And it's their word
against ours.
And I'm sorry,
but no one cares
about the truth.
A police force is far more
valuable than any one person.
And that's why, as colleagues,
we're here for each other.
Think about that money,
think about your mother.
Think about her, Dani.
You want her to end up
in a nursing home?
Poorly looked after.
Abandoned.
That's what's going to happen
if we don't work together.
That's what's going to happen.
You can count on it.
What do you know
about my mother?
You know what your problem is?
You think we're here
to serve citizens.
Not true. We're not here
to solve their problems.
We take orders.
We work for the top brass,
not for those at the bottom.
And it's in no one's interest
that any of this
comes to light.
Not you, me,
nor any higher-ups.
The big difference
between you and me, Dani...
is that they'll have my back.
But not yours.
And what about them?
Who's them?
The woman and the boy.
Have they seen the video?
If they've seen the video,
this is a one-way solo trip.
And you know this
perfectly well.
There can be no witnesses.
[SIGHS]
What do you say, Dani?
Dani, let's go home.
Let's go home. What do you say?
Come on, what do you say?
Go f*ck yourself.

There were two babies
on that raft.
But you...
You didn't cry.
You didn't cry.

As if you knew
what you had to do to get here.
This is where you belong.
