Intro, Synopsis, and Story So Far
2nd Series
ABOUT THE RETURN OF SPADE:
Intro: "The Return of Spade" is the second film in the SPADE MOVIE SERIES after "The Last Assignment." It takes off in an entirely new, exciting dimension as we see Agent Spade in pursuit of criminals through New York and as far away as Atlanta, Georgia, USA, teaming up with the NYPD, the APD, and the FBI to crack this one. See Pictures Below. Preview Coming Soon.
Logline: Special Agent Spade comes out of retirement to embark on an international pursuit of members of a consortium engaged in slave-labor, forced prostitution, and artifacts and human-trafficking.
Synopsis (The Story): The Consortium, an international crime syndicate has been stealing African Artifacts and taking them overseas for sale by using female couriers whom they pretend to help travel overseas for better livelihood. When the women get overseas, they are instead forced into slave-labor or prostitution to pay back monies used in facilitating their travels. Suffering the heat from a recent burst by the Special Police Detective Agency in Nigeria, the Consortium sends its lethal finisher (Black Jack) to Nigeria to retrieve an important stock of artifacts needed for an impending big sale in the United States. Black Jack manages to retrieve the artifacts from the African village of Umuoja but chance brings him face to face with the retired Spade. Subsequent events force Special Agent Spade to come out of retirement and engage Black Jack in a relentless pursuit that begins from Nigeria, moves through New York, and fully unfolds in the lovely city of Atlanta, Georgia. Alerted about Spade’s arrival in Atlanta, the Consortium unleashes the havoc of its network of conspiracy and seduction to get rid of Spade before the impending big sale. Whether Agent Spade could invade one of the Consortium’s biggest territories, disrupt their network woven around artifacts and human-trafficking, and recover the artifacts or whether the Consortium would get to him first becomes the question.
Theme: The Challenges of duty and the temptations of self-satisfaction come head to head as the traits of focus, will, strength, and discipline are called upon.
Love/Romance: Spade faces the challenge of focusing on his duties amidst the challenges of life’s pleasures, especially the kind served by a seductive temptress. Will he be faithful to his fiancé or will he give in to the demands of duty, which sometimes require the concession of one’s principles if a case must be cracked?

SPADE
Movie Series
The will to survive is one of the cardinal factors that drive life. Among Africans and some other peoples of the world, this is further enhanced by the extended family system which sometimes compels people to do almost anything to not only help themselves but also members of their extended family. Incidentally, in order to make some quick money, there are those who take advantage of this and lure young men and women into slave-labor and prostitution.
In the SPADE MOVIE SERIES, the activities of an international organization engaged in using young women to ferry African artifacts abroad is exposed. Also exposed is the organization's practice of trafficking in these young women whom they force into all sorts of illegal menial labor and activities including slave-labor, prostitution, and other illegal activities once they get abroad.
Those who decide to return home or stay on their own rather than engage in the menial jobs and activities imposed on them by the organization, are forced to pay off the cost of their visa applications and flight tickets before they are allowed to leave.
Instead of helping these young people to validate their residency and get legal employment or good livelihood as promised while convincing them to go abroad, the organization force these young people to make very hard decisions to survive. These stories are inspired by true life events and stories.
Many of these young people are usually not aware of the imminent dangers and realities of human trafficking, slave-labor, and forced prostitution that they eventually come to face until they get abroad and by then it usually turns out to be too late for them to back off or go back home. The SPADE MOVIE SERIES brings to light these practices so that many young people in Africa and other third world countries are made aware in time of the dangers and realities they could face if they agree to be brought overseas by such organizations that thrive in human trafficking, slave-labor and prostitution. Also, it is hoped that the necessary authorities would take the applicable steps to check these trend and help reduce if not eliminate such practices across the globe.
