Previously on Iyanu...
Stop him! Seize the son of Kanfo!
Hello.
Wait, you're that boy from the city!
And you're that forest girl!
We must retreat.
You must ride back to Elu
and report to Nuro and the council immediately.
I will stay and find my son.
Forgive the intrusion.
Olori has escaped!
What?!
Interesting.
Goodbye, Oye.
Mama Sewa!
Ah!
Mama Sewa!
I... I couldn't help anyone.
Those poor people.
Huh?
Oye, I'm scared.
What if they don't let us into Elu?
Do not worry, Remi.
Here, take this.
It will make you feel safe.
I promise.
The Eso have failed.
Excuse me, Chancellor, but why did you summon us?
You... can still save Yorubaland,
but you need power.
Absolute power.
Um, apologies, Chancellor,
but we...
we have to go to the, uh... Little Esos' room.
Right, Teju?
Yes, Siju.
We... we have to go... now.
Absolute... power!
Rise.
You will now serve me, and only me,
as my Elite Unit.
Understood?
Excellent.
Now... there is no turning back.

I'm worried about Biyi.
He hasn't said a word since... you know.
Um, Biyi,
I thought you were great back there
against the People of the Deep.
Toye's right.
You were like, "Ooh!"
And we were like, "Whoa"!
And then you went, like, "Wonda!"
Nice try, Iyanu.
So...
how are we going to get to the Source?
The Source?
I couldn't help your people in the Riverlands,
and I want to save Olori now,
but if I can get to the Source,
maybe I can save everyone,
just like Mama Sewa said.
Mama Sewa...
Right. Listen up.
Right now, we're in the Rinku Plains.
Want to get to the Source like Mama Sewa said,
then we keep crossing through,
nonstop.
Wait, are you serious?
You got a problem, city boy?
Uh-uh, but it's just that according to my scrolls...
Ugh, this boy and his scrolls.
...this land is filled with hundreds of Corrupt.
Apex predators.
They call this place "The Walk of Death."
No one has ever made it out alive.
Until now!
What if we took a river route?
Or doubled back through the forest?
Please! What do you know about the plains, city boy?
You've been behind the walls all your life.
He's just trying to help, Biyi.
Well, Mama Sewa told me to protect The Chosen.
If Toye doesn't like it,
he can always walk back to Elu on his own.
No thanks!
Who put you in charge?
Last time I checked, I was The Chosen, not you.
Oya, go on,
raise your hand if you know these lands.
Well, I have studied all the regions outside...
See? Just me.
...the walls.
Nobody asked you, city boy!
Don't yell at him!
- I'm not yelling! - You're upsetting Ekun!
Please, don't fight!
Everyone, quiet.
Um... what was that?
Oh, no...
Everyone, get ready!
Here they come!
Olori of the Agoni,
or should I call you Remi of the Deep?
Call me whatever you want,
but I need your help to escape Elu,
and I'm prepared to offer a deal.
What could you possibly offer me?
Proof.
Proof that your king is a fraud.
The royal seal.
Come inside, quickly.
Hello!
Would you like a mango, guava, banana?
They're only two...
...three weeks old.
She's new.
Not now, Bolanle.
Olori, tell me what you've found.
I read it on the way here,
and it is evidence of the Oba's crimes.
With this,
it will make it much easier
to get your people what they need.
Hmm, we could use this to our advantage.
We could finally expose the Council
for who they truly are.
Ooh... can I take a peek?
Get me safe passage out of the city,
and it is yours.
- Down with the Oba! - No more!
What is happening?
Rebellion.
The people are tired of living in cracked walls,
and they are tired of a Council
that doesn't care about their lives.
This squalor and inequality must end.
Omolola! The walls!
They are...
everywhere!
How long does the Oba expect us to live like this?
This is unacceptable!
My offer still stands,
but I need to get out of the city, immediately.
Very well. Here is what you need to do.
Hup! Got you!
Got you, too!
Got you three! Ha!
M'wah!
There, Ekun, cut them off!
You're doing great, Ekun.
Keep it up.
No, Ekun can't do this forever.
I felt it when we connected,
and there's too many to fight!
There! We'll lose them in the rocks!
Ah!
You can do this, Ekun.
Paws off!
Wonda!
Get out of here!
Go!
Ha, ha! Too slow!
Um... Biyi?
That's what you get when you mess with...
Biyi!
What? Oh.
We're not going to make it!
Hold on tight, everyone!
You don't have to tell me twice!
Whoa!
Biyi!
Aah!
Ha!
See, I told you this would work.
But that horde is still behind us,
and Ekun's exhausted.
Ugh! Look up ahead.
If we can get inside, we'll be safe for sure!
Aah!
Don't stop!
Why... won't you... go down?
That's not going to work!
Just hang on, city boy.
No, Toye's right!
We'll never beat him head on.
Unless...
Is she connecting with Ekun again?
Whatever she's doing, she'd better hurry!
Let's do this!
Iyanu, get ready to fire.
Understood.
Wonda!
- Ah! - We made it!
Thank goodness!
Brother, you cannot ignore the workers any longer.
We need you to act.
But the Chancellor said that things are not...
You are the one in charge.
You are the Oba.
The Chancellor is not here,
and he does not care about your subjects,
or their suffering.
Innocent people are being exiled
for the slightest of reasons,
and the walls...
they are crumbling around us.
With all due respect, Oba,
we are now in a failed state,
and there are no signs of improvement.
Please, brother.
Think of the leaders who came before you.
Remember what our uncle did to make Elu a better place?
Maybe I can...
Huh?
What is this?
- Who are you? - Explain yourself, Nuro!
We have got to get a transfer.
Fast.
Chancellor Nuro, what is the meaning of this?
You have no right to create your own personal army.
The situation in Elu requires stronger security
for the near future...
security the so-called military
cannot provide.
I've been in the game of politics
for a long time, my boy,
and this feels like the beginning of a coup.
Are you saying Nuro wants to take over?
All I'm saying is be careful.
If it pleases the Council, I will take my leave.
How dare you leave this council
before being dismissed?
Let her go.
I care not.
Come, Oba Adeyinka.
The hour is late,
and we must speak privately in your quarters
on matters of security.
Of... of course.
Brother, wait, wait.
You can still...
Lead the way, Chancellor.
Ah! Ah!
Brother! Ah!
Phew!
That was too close.
Is anyone hurt?
I don't think so.
First the People of the Deep, now this?
What? Are you scared, city boy?
My name is Toye,
and well... yes!
You should be too.
Pfft!
There is no need to worry.
My plan worked,
The Chosen is safe,
and everyone is fine!
Aah!
Ekun!
What's wrong?
- Iyanu! - Are you all right?
I'm fine,
but when I connected with Ekun,
all I could feel was his pain.
His leg is hurt... bad.
The elephant,
it must have gotten him before we got in.
Was this part of your brilliant plan?
Hey, I was just trying to help.
"Help"?
Look around, Biyi!
Does this look like a cavern to you?
Um... no?
No!
It's a cave!
So?
They're the same thing, right?
Wrong!
You're always wrong!
Just like you were wrong about the Rinku Plains.
Maybe we should all take a big breath.
We never should have come here.
What part of "The Walk of Death"
don't you understand?
Well, at least I found us a cave, Chosen.
Well, what if this cave doesn't have an exit?
We'll be trapped here without any food to spare.
Um, actually, we might have a bigger problem.
Ugh, great.
No food, no water...
and no way out.
I can't believe you got Ekun hurt!
I can't believe Toye lost our supplies!
And I can't believe...
that you're still yelling.
I'm not yelling!
Happy now, mango-head?
You scared Toye!
Actually, I'm not, um...
You know what's really scary?
Your snoring!
I do not snore!
- Well... - You do!
Just like a hippo.
A big one!
Well, your slingshots are... are dumb!
You take that back!
"Hi, I'm Biyi!
Something, something, slingshot!
Wonda!
Something, something, mango!
Wonda!"
Inner!
Banana-brain!
Ow! That hurts!
Enough!
We're wasting time.
We have to find another way out.
Maybe we'll find some water on the way.
- Fine. - Sure.
Let's try this way.
- Stop it. - You stop it!
You stop it first!
Iyanu, maybe you should lead the way.
We could use some light.
Blah!
I'd be happy to.
"I'd be happy to."
Iyanu!
See?
Biyi, just follow The Chosen,
and you'll be...
No more lies! No more lies!
Merciful Eleda...
No more lies! No more lies!
No more lies!
Omolola...
what is this madness?
We have important evidence
to present to the Elu Mesi.
The Oba is not what he seems.
Really? Tell me more.
There's no time.
Go to the riverboats as fast as you can.
Our friend will not be in the city for long.
Wait, do you mean...?
Go, before it's too late.
No more lies! No more lies!
No more lies!
Oh! Just bats.
Oh no! Bats!
They're in my hair! They're in my hair!
I wish I could fly.
Wait...
what if we follow them out of the cave?
D-do we have to?
Ha! Still scared, city boy?
No!
Maybe...
Also, that hurt.
Good job, Biyi.
First you get Ekun hurt.
Now you're punching Toye?
Hey, if it wasn't for me,
the Corrupt would have eaten us up.
And if it wasn't for me,
we'd be stuck with the People of the Deep!
Well, if it wasn't for me...
Stop!
Look what you did!
You mean look what you did!
This is getting us nowhere,
and we didn't even find any water.
I'm going to sleep.
Maybe you two will have your heads on straight
in the morning.
Mm!
That depends on The Chosen.
Well, I guess there's always tomorrow.
Olori?
I heard that you escaped.
Ojuwa.
Forgive me, elder, but I am in a hurry.
I must leave the city.
Nuro has taken the city.
He has his own security force,
and the Oba refuses to act.
I see.
Then time is running out for Yorubaland.
Perhaps,
but I still have time to help you.
This is Uwa's royal seal.
All you have to do is hide in a cart,
bearing it at the outer gates.
And you're certain this will get me out of the city?
Yes. These carts carry supplies for the Eso,
and it won't be searched by guards.
Uwa is the Foreign Minister, after all.
Go get your child.
I thought you didn't believe in The Chosen.
I believe now.
May Eleda's grace sustain you on your journey.
Iyanu...
Iyanu... Iyanu...
Iyanu...
Where am I?
Ekun, is that you?
Yes. There isn't much time.
You are in great danger.
Wait. I don't understand.
How are you talking?
Listen, Iyanu.
You need to wake up.
Wake! Wake up!
Wake up!
Everyone, wake up!
- Huh? - What?
You're not going to believe this!
Ekun can talk!
Cats...
That wall's not going to hold o...
What are we going to do?
Biyi?
I... I-I don't know.
The witch has escaped.
You think I don't know that?
The Chosen cannot reach The Source.
As long as she breathes,
you will always be powerless.
No... no!
Open the container,
and I will grant you the power
to achieve your deepest desire...
...to become the emperor
of all of Yorubaland.
