Help!

Somebody help! Help, help, help!

What happened to her?

I don't know, I don't know.

Madam, wait.

Let's take her to the doctor.

Oh, Okay.

Okay, okay.

What's up babe?

Remember, we are going to class to read tonight.

I don’t want to look for you.

Alright, no problem.

God!

I'm tired.

This school won't kill me.

Oh, God.

Tiwa.

Yes.

You didn't go to class?

No.

I'm not feeling too well,

I'll collect notes from Ibrahim.

Sorry.

Thank you.

Should I follow you to the health centre?

No, no, don't worry.

I already went, they said it's stress and I just need to rest.

Really?

Yes, thank you.

You'll be fine, okay?

I'm tired. Let me rest.

Sorry.

I had a long day.

This school will not kill me,

with all their assignments.

Where is my pen?

Where is this pen?

Tiwa.

Nurse, how is she?

Come here.

Is the doctor done?

Let me see you outside.

I just want to advise you,

to take your sister to another hospital.

Why?

Two of our main doctors left the country last month,

and we still haven't found any replacements.

I just want to advise you.

Nurse, where is she?

Nurse!

Hello 2X.

T-baby.

Please, I need your help.

What's up? How are you doing?

What happened?

My sister, I need cash urgently.

Please.

I have 200,000 naira in my account now, can I send it to you?

Okay.

I just took out some cash this morning, that's all I have.

Yes, I'll pay you back.

Alright, send your account details.

If you need more, give me a few days.

I’ll put it together.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

I'll send you the account details now.

I'll call you as soon as I'm free to talk.

No problem.

Alright, take care.

Help!

Help!

Help, help, help!

Help!

Hold on,

what's wrong with her?

I don't know, I don't know.

Help!

-She has been complaining, -Nurse!

just stomach pain and feeling weak.

Sorry.

Kome!

Hold on, madam.

Please, go there.

Kome!

You need to calm down.

Okay.

You need to make a deposit of 500,000 naira

for the form and the test

and if we need more, we will let you know, okay?

Okay, can I deposit 200,000 naira first,

when I go to the bank I can get the rest?

Okay, no problem.

Your account details.

Alright, here.

Just fill in the form.

Tiwa.

Tiwa.

Have you seen Tiwa?

I don't know, she was here earlier but she walked out.

Good afternoon, sir.

Tarela.

Sir.

Sit down.

Thank you, sir.

How are you?

Sir, I'm really sorry. I had no idea

you're the one that got me out. I didn't know.

So,

you thought...

the police assumed you were innocent?

Miraculous escape?

No, sir. No, I'm telling the truth.

I asked someone to get me out and he took the credit.

In fact, sir, I've been paying back Edesiri's hospital bills

and getting out of prison for months now.

What?

Yes.

Tell me about this person.

Tarela.

Sir.

It's alright, what's going on? Are you alright?

Sir, I'm not okay, I'm not okay.

My sister is sick.

I've spent all morning running from hospital to hospital, sir.

And,

I spent all my money, all of it,

paying a debt I didn't even owe.

And now the hospital is asking for 500,000 naira

to deposit before they start any treatment.

And sir,

they said I should have like extra money.

It's okay, it's okay.

How much is

500,000 naira?

That's not a problem.

We will sort it out.

Tarela.

Sir.

You are a beautiful girl.

You deserve to live your dreams.

You don't need to dance for a living,

or struggling to make ends meet.

You just want something and you'll get it.

You want to go out to the best of restaurants? I'll make that happen.

You want to ride a car?

Let me know what kind of car it is.

Whatever it is you want, just ask me and I’ll—

Help with my sister, sir. That's all I want.

Help with my sister, sir, please.

That is not a problem.

Thank you, sir. Thank you, thank you.

You just need to show

appreciation properly.

Thank you very much, sir.

And that will happen, okay?

Thank you. Thank you, sir. Thank you.

I appreciate you so much. Thank you, sir.

I've got

an executive suite upstairs.

If you come around and

show appreciation properly,

when you are leaving,

I'll give you two million naira.

You settle your sister's hospital bills

and you keep the rest for your monthly upkeep.

And when you're done,

everything is settled,

come back to me and tell me what you want and I'll make it happen for you.

Tarela.

Sir.

Is that okay?

No sir, I'm sorry.

I can't.

It's alright.

I have told you,

let me be your chief.

I'll always be here.

When you are ready,

I'll be here.

Thank you, sir.

No, no, no, no, no, guy, guy—

My friend, that’s the game you played.

No, that's not it, I saw three and played three.

Please don't waste my time, pick two.

Pick your two first.

What you are doing is not good.

Pick two.

My friend continue picking.

Pick two.

Wait! Won't I play?

Another one.

Guy, allow me to play.

My friend, we’re playing together,

that’s what we’re doing.

Hold on, last card and check up, no need to play again.

I know that you're playing tricks.

What kind of tricks are you talking about?

Listen, one of these days, if I catch you, you will pay for it.

You will pay for it.

Yeah, how's it going with Kome? What did they say?

Wait, why are you not even in the hospital?

Guy, I don't like going to the hospital.

You know that anyone who goes to the hospital

must have something to show for it.

Before you know, you’ll become a joke to them.

Do you understand?

It’s not nice; that kind of thing isn’t good.

They will look at you and it feels like

they’re calling you a useless man.

I can't do it.

Please, what kind of game are we playing?

Neighbour!

Where is Kome? What did the hospital say?

They said that we should bring money.

[hisses]

My dear, I don't understand.

What did they say happened to Kome?

What are you packing?

Kome isn't opening her eyes.

They are running some tests,

but they said we have to pay 500,000 naira

before they start treatment.

Ovus, where are we going to see that kind of money?

What did Tarela say?

Tarela?

Tarela doesn't have money.

She has gone out to make some calls.

Kome isn't opening her eyes.

What are we going to do?

God!

Do not forsake me, Father Lord.

Do not forsake me, Lord.

My dear.

Do not forsake me, Lord.

Listen,

I wasn't just drinking,

I'm also trying, I’ve gone out as well,

I've been thinking about how we’re going to find money.

You know, they said,

that a man without a job is useless.

But me, I'm trying.

At least,

I have an idea.

What kind of idea?

You have two minutes.

Over four million naira,

four million naira of my hard-earned money.

Money I have not even seen in my account at once.

Why?

You were not even the one that got me out.

Why?

Why?

I sold drugs for you.

You've figured it out.

Well done.

Now who told you?

Somto?

Oh, he's so getting fired.

Is this a joke to you?

Why are you wicked?

Please, I need that money.

My sister is in the hospital.

How is that any of my business?

How does any of it concern me?

Andre,

please.

My sister is sick.

You don't even have to give me everything.

Just give me 500,000 naira so I can deposit.

Oh, Tarela.

I do not owe you any money.

Consider the money that I took from you as

compensation for getting you this job.

Andre.

Please.

Andre, please.

Please.

Please.

Okay,

if it's bad enough,

why don't you go and spread those

goody-two-shoe-legs upstairs?

Maybe...

maybe I might give you the 500,000 naira

as a loan.

I'd rather die...

than sleep with you.

RIP then.

Hello.

Madam, we found out what was wrong.

Your sister has a ruptured appendix,

and we need to perform an emergency laparotomy.

The surgery is 1.2 million naira, which we need to proceed.

We also need someone to sign the consent form.

How quickly can you get here?

I'm on my way, I'm on my way.

Just do whatever you need to do, I'm coming, I have the money.

Well done, Pastor.

Yes.

As I was saying concerning my daughter Kome's hospital bill,

if you can help me.

Sister Ebiere,

I understand your plight.

And you are a devoted member of the church

and I would really love to help.

But right now,

we can just raise 100,000 naira.

During the course of the week, I will speak with the members of the

church and see what they can assist with.

I really wish I could do more.

Thank you, Pastor.

Yes, don't worry.

I really appreciate it.

Don't worry. We're just doing the Lord's work.

Let us pray for Kome.

Father, in the name of Jesus, heal her.

Amen!

Restore her.

Amen!

In Jesus' mighty name!

Amen!

Amen!

Amen!

Thank you, Pastor.

God bless you.

Yes, sir.

So...

How was it?

Any luck?

They tried.

They can only raise 100,000 naira for me.

I don't even know if they will be able to finish raising it.

I don't know what we are going to do.

Okay, let's go with plan B.

Let's go to Oloba's place.

I'm not sure.

Or do you know anybody that can give us such an amount of money?

Because as I am, I can't lie to you.

I know that Tarela can handle it later,

but right now, let's look for a way to raise money for Kome.

Let's go. Let's go.

That was nice.

That is half a million naira.

That should take care of your immediate medical bills.

Send me your account details,

and I will wire

two million naira to you.

That should be enough for your upkeep and all the rest.

And if you want more,

let me know.

My driver will drop you

wherever you want to go.

I'll call on you later to find out how you are, to check in.

Ah, that was nice.

What about your first daughter, Tarela?

She also went to look for money for the hospital bill.

God will help her.

For me to give you my money again?

After all you did to me before?

Prolonging payment,

delaying intrest, delaying...no, no, no, no, no.

Why did you come to see me? Don't you have shame?

Did you put jazz in your mouth?

I don't have any money to give you.

Sir, it's me. You know me.

My daughter will pay you back.

She paid back the last time.

Please sir, you can trust me.

I'm a Christian, a child of God. I can't lie to you.

Forget it!

Sir.

Forget it!

Forget it!

Forget it!

Child of God? What about me? I am a child of—

Are we children of the devil?

Satan or what are talking about?

Don't tell me, don't tell me that kind of thing.

Don't tell me.

If I’ll consider it at all, it's because a child is involved.

Because I'm a parent too, so I can consider it.

But listen,

I don't joke with my money.

My interest must come with my money.

Very important.

I don't joke...

Listen, I don't mix business with friendship.

Even if your mother swallowed big stone

I won't listen, what am I even saying?

I can't give you my money.

You don't have a good record.

I can't give you my money.

Please sir.

No.

Please sir!

I said no.

Please sir.

God, I thank you.

How did it go?

Did you get it?

I've gotten it, this is it.

Did you tell him that Tarela will pay?

I told him and he also said we can pay back anytime we have the money.

Please, let's go.

Let's go.

I'm behind you.

Tarela!

Oh, madam. Welcome.

I have 500,000 naira.

I can transfer the rest.

Your account details.

Give me a minute, okay?

Tarela.

I have raised 500,000 naira,

you can add it to what you have.

How is she?

Don't worry, ma. The doctors are doing their job.

She'll be fine.

Okay.

Aren't you hearing what I'm saying?

Add this money to the money you want to use to pay the bill.

It's fine.

I have the money.

You can keep that one.

What if they need more?

I have more.

Aunty.

Please.

Yes, madam?

Can I see my daughter Kome?

I'm so sorry, you can't.

Did you see the money that I sent to you?

Okay, just give me a minute.

I will check that now.

Sir, what's up?

I have been waiting for you here for like an hour,

what happened?

Calm down, please.

You're not the only person I'm attending to.

Waiting doesn't kill anyone.

Even you, you’re always late with payment.

Take.

So, what's up?

Anything for me?

Update.

See, the ship leaves in a couple of weeks.

I hope you're ready for this?

If I'm not ready, I won't be here.

Listen, we're going to be putting you in a cabin

with a couple of other people.

Some are unstable,

some will fall sick,

while some will die.

You have to be strong-minded.

No coming out,

no noise,

throughout the entire journey.

Do you hear me?

Have you been on this kind of trip before?

This trip is not for everyone.

Fortunately for me, I like Nigeria.

Yours is better, I want to leave this country.

Wow.

No problem, what about the balance?

Calm down.

I'll send you your balance soon. Trust me.

I'm doing this because of the person who vouched for you.

No mistakes.

I understand.

I won't mess up, you'll see your money very soon.

Thank you.

No problem.

Alright.

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Andre!

You've been snitching to Tarela.

Ladies, get the fuck out.

No. What? No.

Don't lie to me Somto.

Andre, I swear—

Don't lie to me.

You told her that I was not the one

who paid the hospital bill or brought her out.

Why would I do that? I work for you.

Oh, then how the fuck did she know?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I swear.

I don't know.

Please.

Okay.

Please.

Okay.

You'll do me a favour.

Anything, please, anything.

Please.

Andre, please, please.

Please, Andre, please.

Thank you, ma.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

Why am I seeing customers leave with goods and I'm not getting any alert?

That costumer paid with cash, ma.

Cash?

Yes ma.

Let me see.

See.

Hello, Daddy.

Hello, Tiwa.

How are you?

Fine, Daddy.

How are you?

I'm fine.

The Lord is keeping me well.

Tiwalade,

are you there?

Yes, Daddy.

I've been thinking a lot about us.

And I must say, it has taken a toll on me.

I recognize the part I played in pushing you away

and for that,

I admit that it shouldn’t have been so.

I raised you as a good Christian girl.

And,

I want my daughter back.

I don't know how we'll find our way

back from this path.

But,

we can try.

Daddy I—

I didn't really want things to get like this.

Tiwalade.

With God,

we'll figure it out, okay?

Just come home.

Okay.

Oh my God. Oh my God.

Tarela.

They've been there for a long time,

is that how surgery takes time?

No one asked you to stay,

you can leave if you want.

I...

I'm just asking as a concerned father.

You know,

I named Kome after my mother.

Nobody cares.

No one wants you here.

[hisses]

Mama Kome.

Mama Kome.

I'm leaving.

This your daughter is too rude.

When Kome wakes up, call me, then I will come back.

Why are you talking like this?

Don't be angry.

Please,

help me return this money.

There won't be any interest if you return it today.

I'll call you when Kome comes out of the theatre.

Please.

Okay.

What’s up, girl?

Hey.

We need to talk.

Oh.

Okay.

Make yourself at home.

Welcome to my house.

Can I offer you anything?

I'm pregnant.

What was that?

I'm pregnant.

You're pregnant?

Holy shit, that's great news.

Oh my God, yes.

I haven't decided what I want to do.

What the fuck are you talking about?

You haven't decided what to do.

You're having my—

wait, what are you

are you going to kill a baby?

Are you serious?

Kobe.

I can't keep it.

If my dad finds out—

Hey, hey, Tiwa, hold on.

We are in this together, okay?

I mean, a baby that looks like you, that's just perfect.

No, I can't keep it.

I can't.

There's too much going on.

There's a lot I need to do.

You are not fucking killing my child,

listen to me when I say that.

I get that I made this sound like

multiple choice, right?

But it's not.

It's my body, it's my choice.

I'm not keeping the baby.

It is my fucking child.

I get a fucking say,

-You get a say? -in what happens in my child's life.

Yes, Tiwa, I do.

What are you going to do about it?

Kobe.

Keep me chained and locked up somewhere.

This was just a courtesy call.

I'm not keeping the baby.

There's nothing you can do about it.

I would like to see you try, Tiwa.

I could put money on that one.

I'm not keeping it.

This was just a courtesy call.

Have a nice day.

So what's in the menu for tonight?

Good evening, ma.

Hi, evening.

So, we'll take this out.

Take this out.

This will be special.

And this...

Come back.

Somto.

To what do I owe this visit?

We need to talk.

We can talk here.

Let's just go to your office and talk.

Whatever you have to say, you can say it here.

It's private.

Sit.

What's this about?

It's about Andre.

What about Andre?

It's the way he acts.

Everyone knows Andre should be on meds.

Yeah, well he's completely unhinged,

I don't trust him.

And that's why I need access to someone higher up

so I can secure myself.

You need someone higher up to secure yourself?

And why would I help you with that?

I know you don't trust Andre.

And I know that—

I know you want to get rid of him.

Plus, you'll be getting my undying loyalty.

I know your greatest—

your greatest rival

is about to put their club in the market.

We can get it and then add it to the business.

That way, we are our own competition.

Andre will kill you if he finds out you're here.

He likes his pets to remain just his.

That's not if I have someone higher up to secure my back.

And I'm no one's pet.

Come this way.

Sir.

Ovus.

Yes, sir.

Is that really you?

I hope there's no problem.

What about your—

daughter?

I'm here because of her.

The hospital is asking for more money,

and Ebiere said I should come and ask you for an extra 300,000 naira.

That Tarela will pay you back.

What do you mean?

Just like that.

Do I manufacture money?

Do I have a money tree?

You haven’t paid for the one you collected and you’re here to borrow more.

No, no, it's an emergency.

They said they have to perform a surgery on the child immediately,

and they need more money, if not I wouldn't have come.

It's an emergency and we're talking about my daughter.

And this your Tarela, Tarela.

Is she that rich?

She is always the one paying,

or does she have a Sugar Daddy?

A Sugar Daddy somewhere?

I will give you the money because a child is involved,

and I don't want your child to die.

That's all.

But you must pay me back my money.

With interest.

Listen, Ebiere said you shouldn't worry that Tarela will pay you back.

You've said it before.

Tarela, Tarela, every little thing, Tarela.

It's because of your child,

I'll give you the money.

Thank you.

But my money and my interest.

No problem.

I'll even sign.

Don't sign.

If you don't sign, how will you take the money then?

You must sign.

Yes, sir.

Call the accountant, let him...he must sign.

Of course.

He must sign.

Sure, sure.

Follow him.

Thank you sir.

300,000 naira only.

Alright, no problem.

Eat up, eat up.

God.

I know you don't love me.

You've never answered my prayers,

but I'm asking for Kome.

She's so young,

and sweet.

She's the most important person in my life.

I just want her back.

Laughing,

and smiling.

I'm begging.

I'll do anything.

I'll be a better sister.

I won't leave her again.

I'll give you anything.

Please.

I'm begging.

Anything.

Please.

Please.

And this doesn't have a price tag?

No, ma.

Okay, so this,

and this.

Okay, ma.

So this in 12 and 14.

Go get it.

Okay, ma.

I don't appreciate Somto giving out my number.

What do you want?

I heard we have a common enemy.

A pest that should be dealt with.

Tarela Siebi.

Tarela Siebi.
