My mother was also taken. It's all about my brother. I have many men in your country searching for her and they will bring her back. It is a must. And if they find your mother, they will bring her back too. I have just buried her. It was her dying wish that I come to her home. The only place she was ever free. This is your home. It is yours. And you came on the right day. Our magnificent Aguchi, they are doing their final test. So please, sit. Go, go and sit. Prepare the seat for them. Let us begin. Fear not. Face it head on. Mentlessly we will fight. Come, come, come, come, my dear. Come, come, come. What is your name? I am Naui, my king. Naui, you are beautiful as you are fierce. If she was not so skilled, I would have made her a wife now. To the victor. God bless you. God will keep you safe. Well done to all of you. You are the strongest warriors in Africa. Welcome to the Kingsguard. Hey, be still. Hey, how did you turn to her for me? You could have lost. Funga is my friend. I want her to stay. To stay she must pass the test. To be useful, she must stand on her own. You would not help your friend, Nigana? Amenza? I would step on her head to win a foot race. The best scars. The mark of a warrior. You see? You will have many more. Sure. Make sure all the thorns come out. Yeah? What is this? My father used to call it the devil's mark. It was there when he chose me from the orphanage. You are an orphan? Your father... He took me in. I guess I didn't turn out to be the daughter he wanted. Nani? How did you do it? With what? You told me never to ask and you said you would ask and you made me swear. I am not your servant. Nani said that. I gave her to the initiative. What initiatives? The ones we passed on the road when we were marching. I have no way to know that. I followed your order. To free you of the burden and I chose to give her away. And you said you would? Yes. I do not lie to you. Why do you ask these questions after all this time? Because... Nowi is an orphan. You couldn't possibly think that... The gods are not that cruel. Speak my language when you are in my palace. Your wife Shante. She said you seek an end to the trade. She does not speak for me. And she will be punished for thinking she does. She says this is your general's wish and perhaps not yours. My generals obey my wishes. So you wish to sell... Palm oil. I wish for my people to prosper. As those of your land do. Kezu. The people in my lands prosper. Because of this slave trade. And this very same trade has made you rich. As rich as the king of England. You stop the trade... You will be nothing. King maybe but... King of mud. All of these captains will take their business elsewhere. The business of selling Africans. You will be unprotected. Unprotected. You know I am under no illusion that you see us as anything but... A commodity.
