?-[Efe] Boss, good afternoon. ?-[Oboz squeals]

?[Oboz] Look at that.

?-Look at his cheeks like my wife's ass. ?-[baby cooing]

?Sit down, please.

?I hope you're hungry, my wife has cooked ?enough to feed the entire ManU team.

?[in Pidgin, squeals] You're welcome!

?-Aww, look at how cute he is. ?-[baby fussing]

?-Look at his cheeks. ?-You've started.

?-Come here. ?-[both chuckling]

?-You're welcome ?-Welcome.

?This is my wife, Idia.

?Baby, this is Brother Efe, ?whom I told you about.

?[Idia] Bro, welcome. ?I hope it wasn't hard to find the address?

?-[Nosa] No. ?-You're welcome.

?What would you like to drink?

?-Some spirit, maybe? ?-[in Pidgin] We don't really drink.

?I don't understand.

?-Uh... Okay. ?-[Noma sputters]

?You must drink juice at least.

?I can bring some.

?[in English] We're okay for now.

?-[Oboz] It's cold juice. ?-[Idia agreeably] Eeh.

?-We're okay, boss. ?-[Oboz] Eh-ehn?

?-I think they're hungry. ?-I think so.

?Boss,

?[in Pidgin] is there a place where we can...

?[babies fussing]

?[Oboz] Okay.[teases]

?[laughs] Of course. ?Baby, carry the one who's crying.

?-Don't worry. Carry him. ?-Sis, follow me, I'll take you upstairs.

?Sit down, sit down.

?-Sit down. ?-[baby continues crying]

?Sit down.

?Let women handle women's matters.

?You know how women are, when they see ?children, they forget they come from us.

?It's good this way.

?Let's be together.

?-[in English] Man to man. ?-Eh-ehn.

?[in Pidgin] Eh? Are you sure ?you don't want anything?

?[in Pidgin] Bro, I'm good.

?Eh-ehn?

?Efe, relax.

?[in English] Feel at home.

?Express yourself.

?Be yourself.

?Talk to me.

?[wistful music plays]

?[in English] Boss,

?see my life right now, equal to nothing.

?[Efe tuts, sighs]

?You won't understand ?the kind of financial pressure I'm under.

?See these children, ?we didn't plan for them.

?[tuts, breathes deeply]

?[in Pidgin] Boss, what my eyes have seen...

?[tuts]

?I'm trying.

?I work hard.

?[smacks lips]

?This life just isn't...

?It's just been unfair to me.

?[tuts]

?[inhales] It's so hard that

?I'm ashamed ?to return home to sleep at night.

?I'll pretend that I have an overnight job,

?then go to a bar in our area

?and hang out till morning.

?So my wife can think I'm busy.

?And think her husband is working hard.

?[tuts]

?See that woman,

?God blessed me with her.

?If not for her,

?-[tuts] I would have killed myself since. ?-God forbid! Don't say that.

?What is the matter with you?

?Why are you talking like you're not a man?

?You're a man, act like it!

?Don't let high BP kill you.

?You'll die,

?and another man would marry your wife.

?Do you want your children

?-to call another man their dad? ?-Boss,

?I beg you ?in God's name, if there's any way,

?any way at all ?that you can help me, please.

?I am tired of begging to survive.

?I'm not a beggar!

?[Efe sobs]

?Bro, I have ideas! [tuts]

?I have ideas.

?[tuts]

?Bro Efe,

?I have been...

?in this very position.

?But eventually,

?God blessed me.

?See how good looking I am.

?Life is good.

?Boss,

?I beg you in the name of God,

?hook me up.

?[in English] Show me the way.

?[in Pidgin] Please.

?Please.

?Brotherly...

?are you sure ?you can do the kind of work I do?

?-Bro- ?-Think before you answer.

?I work hard.

?I work very hard.

?[tuts] Ah! Try me.

?Please,

?try me.

?[baby fussing]

?[Idia in Pidgin] I hope ?they're comfortable?

?[in Pidgin] On top of this soft bed?

?They're relaxing.

?Sis, you're trying.

?To buy diapers right now is expensive.

?Sis,

?we didn't plan it.

?At 47? I didn�t think it was possible.

?That's why I tied my tubes. Ah!

?Got my body done.

?[Idia] Can you see? Do you like it?

?-Can't you see how snatched I am? ?-Hm, I can see.

?Do you know ?what this type of body is called?

?-[in English] End of discussion. ?-[baby gurgles]

?[in Pidgin] If my husband ?wants another child,

?he'll get one from somewhere else.

?My shop is closed.

?Ah! Wow, sis. [chuckles]

?Your room is so nice and it's huge.

?In fact, your whole house is-

?This room?

?This room is big?

?-Yes! ?-Ah. Sis,

?if you meet my friend Celestina,

?if you see her house, you'll bow down.

?Her and my husband started ?working together, and she's grown.

?[chuckles] I am coming.

?[baby fusses]

?[glasses clattering]

?[baby cries]

?[baby giggles]

?-[Idia] Mm. ?-Ah, no.

?-I can't. ?-[Idia] Mm-mm, eh-ehn.

?Keep the eye-service for your husband.

?Ah-ah! Don't do that here.

?-Drink. ?-Ah.

?But... I can't.

?Sis, it's just one glass.

?Ah-ah! Okay, ?what is the worst that can happen?

?The worst is that they get high and sleep.

?And you can face your husband.

?Sleep with him and enjoy it. ?Do you know what I mean?

?You'll... [moans]

?Drink it! Sis, it's just one glass.

?Take it.

?Nothing will happen.

?Don't worry.

?I got you.

?Drink.

?Should I tell you something?

?Sister to sister.

?Between me and you.

?Let me tell you.

?If you want to belong, ?you have to behave like you belong.

?You can't be as timid as you are.

?You have to be sharp.

?Do you understand me?

?You see the way you dress,

?I'll polish it up.

?I'll make you look... [sucks air]

?You'll look beautiful.

?When girls see you ?on the street, they'll start to hail you.

?I'll show you the way.

?-Do you understand? ?-I understand.

?-Do you get my drift? ?-I do.

?Let's cheers.

?What are we cheering to?

?Let's cheers to new friendship.

?-New friendship. ?-[Idia] New style.

?-[Nosa] New style. ?-New life.

?New life.

?-Are you ready? ?-I'm ready.

?Don't worry, I've got you.

?When you do the doggy style ?make sure not to get pregnant.

?-Do you want to get pregnant again?! ?-No.

?Exactly, no, eh-ehn.

?[upbeat music plays]

?[Oboz laughs]

?[Oboz] Brotherly,

?[in Pidgin] at my level ?the key is to work smart, not hard.

?When white people ?say it, we think they're joking.

?But look at me, ?lanky body, big bank account.

?[Efe] Boss, I don't understand.

?[Oboz chuckles] Don't worry, ?you'll understand.

?[upbeat music continues]

?[anticipatory music plays]

?[staff] Boss.

?[in Pidgin] You can't greet?

?-Oboz-Da-Bozz! ?-Good afternoon.

?-Bozz. ?-Boss.

?[woman in English] Good afternoon, sir.

?How are you?

?Fine, sir.

?[in Pidgin] Have you spoken ?with your mother?

?Yes, boss.

?Boss.

?[phone ringing]

?Are all these people working for you?

?There's much more than this.

?Usually I don't open on the weekends,

?it's only those who have work to do.

?[eerie sounds plays]

?Bro! [exclaims]

?I love your office!

?I've told you not to call me boss, ?but bro.

?We'll quarrel if not.

?Don't be upset, please. ?Please, don't be upset.

?Man!

?This is the type of place ?I dreamt of working at.

?Look at this!

?-[exclaims happily] ?-Yes.

?[exclaims] Bro,

?look at this.

?Look!

?I'm looking for a supervisor.

?[Efe exclaims in disbelief] Eh?

?[whispers] Bro.

?Can you handle the position?

?Bro, I am ready to step up, ?if you can trust me with this place.

?Trust.

?Trust is one of the most important things

?in my business.

?You were creating fake documents ?back then at your cyber cafe, right?

?[nolstagic music plays]

?[Oboz] Bro, I know.

?You did it for my guys.

?You did it for Mbakoli, ?you did it for Edeyi.

?-You helped them graduate. ?-Bro,

?that was when I was hustling.

?That's over.

?I've changed.

?You've changed.

?[clicks tongue, mumbles]

?I thought you would've advanced.

?You're sure I can trust you?

?[tuts] Bro, with your life.

?[tuts] If I think of betraying you, let-

?Let God punish me.

?[music shifts tosuspenseful]

?Thank you.

?My business has two sides.

?[suspenseful music builds]

?Bro...

?[metalic objects chink]

?[metal chinks]

?Head.

?Tail.

?[suspenseful music plays]

?This coin is like my business.

?I have an outside business ?and an inside business.

?In my outside business, ?I sell spare parts, do logistics,

?and things like that. Can you handle that?

?-Yes. ?-[Oboz] You'll handle them?

?I can handle them, bro.

?-You can handle it, right? ?-Yes.

?I know you can handle it.

?[in English] But my inside business...

?[suspenseful music plays]

?[in Pidgin] Are you sure I can trust you?

?Bro, I'm here.

?[anticipatory music plays]

?[Oboz in English] Turn around.

?Turn around.

?[anticipatory music plays]

?[keypad beeping]

?[anticipatory music plays]

?Brotherly.

?Come.

?[Efe] Ah!

?[exclaims]

?Come.

?[anticipatory music continues]

?[anticipatory music swells]

?[Efe heaving]

?-[Oboz huffs mildly] ?-[Efe] Ah!

?[Oboz growls ominously]

?[sinister music plays]

?[men] Boss!

?-[Oboz] Hey! ?-[man 1 in Pidgin] Greetings, boss.

?-[man 2] Greetings. ?-[man 3] Boss.

?[man 4] Oboz-Da-Bozz.

?-[man 5] Good afternoon, sir. ?-[man 6] My boss.

?[man 7] Boss.

?My mum is still in the hospital, ?and the bills are crazy.

?Boss.

?[man 7] Try sending the money.

?[man 8] The 10,000 dollars,

?I'll pay you ?as soon as my inheritance comes.

?-Boss. ?-[indistinct chatters]

?-[woman 3 laughs] ?-[man] Boss.

?[white woman] You like what you see, baby?

?-[man on the phone] ?Yeah baby, I love it. ?-[woman 3] When will you send the money?

?-You've got to show off your skin first. ?-You want to see more?

?-?Yeah. ?-What is the matter with him?

?-What's his problem? ?-Who is this one? [cackles]

?[man 9 in Pidgin] Greetings boss.

?[man 10] Ah, boss.

?-Welcome sir. ?-[man 11] Welcome, boss.

?-Welcome, boss. ?-[indistinct chatters]

?[keypad clattering]

?Morning, boss.

?Boss.

?Boss.

?[upbeat music plays]

?[tense music play]

?[Oboz in Pidgin] ] You see this place,

?I have tons like it in Lagos.

?Brotherly, this is my inside business.

?[tense music builds]

?[woman 4] What's wrong with him? ?Who is this?

?[tense music fades]

?[car engine revs]

?[birds chirping]

?I�m sure my wife is wondering where I am.

?[in Pidgin] Brotherly, ?you haven't said anything since.

?[suspenseful music plays]

?What's up?

?[mutters] No, boss.

?-Um... ?-You're back to calling me boss?

?You're sure I can still trust you?

?Boss... listen, um,

?my family and I are indebted ?to you for all your kindness.

?But what?

?Is there any other work?

?I can build software, I can create-

?You're rejecting my hand of friendship.

?[music darkens]

?-You're rejecting my hand of kindness. ?-[in Pidgin] No.

?It's not that.

?I don't have the guts for it.

?I don't want to destroy your business.

?You don't want to destroy my business.

?[tense music plays]

?Nobody rejects my hand ?of friendship without consequences.

?[tense music builds]

?But you...

?you saved my life.

?I don't owe you anything again.

?[in English] Clear.

?Get out.

?Get out!

?[Nosa] But I thought it was a done deal?

?-You mean no other explanation aside that? ?-Hm.

?So he just invited us ?to his house for nothing.

?-Just to show off. ?-Of course not.

?He made a mistake.

?His company can�t afford ?to hire anyone right now.

?So what do we do now?

?We've spent the money he gave us ?paying off hospital and other debts.

?I was really relying ?on this job for us, babe.

?So was I.

?But how can you own a whole company

?yet you don�t know ?for sure if you�re hiring or not?

?Just raising people�s hopes for nothing.

?[hisses] Nonsense.

?Meanwhile, babe, did you see ?all the gold his wife was wear-

?Babe!

?[baby fusses]

?Allow me digest this food and go to sleep.

?[in Pidgin] I have to wake up ?in the morning to look for a new job.

?Ah-ah!

?-What�s wrong with you? ?-No! What�s wrong with you?

?Is it the alcohol ?that�s making you act like this?

?Oh-ooh! You think I can�t ?smell it on your breath?

?-Breastfeeding mother! You have no shame? ?-It was just a little.

?[in English] "It was just a little."

?Eh-ehn?

?[in Pidgin] What is it?

?If I did, what�s the problem?

?Did I kill anybody?

?[in English] Can�t I breathe a little?!

?I�m choking, Efe!

?If I�m not a wife, I�m a mother.

?If I�m not a mother, I'm sharing ?your responsibilities with you.

?[somber music plays]

?[baby crying]

?Bozz...

?[pensive music plays]

?-Normally, ?-[tense music plays]

?[in Pidgin] I don't come ?to you with this sort of thing,

?but that your friend...

?[tuts]

?I don't trust him.

?Let me do a proper check on him first.

?Let me make sure he's not a tattletale.

?[baby crying]

?I shouldn�t have spoken to you that way.

?I know you go through a lot ?for our family.

?For me.

?[kisses] I�m sorry.

?I�m sorry too.

?I know that you�re trying ?your best for us.

?[birds chirping]

?I do not take your patience ?towards me for granted.

?-[baby fusses] ?-Babe,

?it�s going to be alright, okay?

?I�ll see to it.

?Am I not the one always telling you that?

?[both chuckle]

?[baby fusses]

?Um...

?Babe,

?maybe I should look ?for another cleaning job,

?-now that I�m feeling much stronger now. ?-Honey,

?it's not practical.

?Who will look after ?the babies when you�re there?

?Maybe...

?Maybe they can stay with Mama

?-during the week- ?-No, no.

?I don�t like asking her for anything.

?She loves them!

?She loves them, ?but hates their father.

?Efe, she doesn�t hate you.

?-She just doesn't like the fact that... ?-that I�m very poor.

?-Yeah. ?-[both laughing]

?[in Pidgin] Truly, she's mad about that.

?[romantic music plays]

?The most important thing though,

?[in English] is I don�t care ?what she likes or dislikes.

?-Hm. ?-Hmm.

?So what do you care about?

?-You. ?-[laughs]

?-Mrs. Edewor, ?-[in Pidgin] That's me.

?best teaser in life!

?Okay, spin me.

?I will roll you.

?-I will roll you. ?-Roll me!

?Be patient with me.

?I�m going to work something out.

?I promise.

?[auspicious music plays]

?[kisses]

?[baby fusses]

?[door creaks open, door closes]

?I'm even late for work, ?getting this food is taking forever.

?[indistinct crowd chatter]

?[in Yoruba] Sir.

?[exclaims] Sir!

?What are you doing here?

?There's no free seat in this place!

?[in English] Either you buy something, or ?you stand up from there for my customers!

?-[woman 5] Madam please, answer me. ?-[in Pidgin] What is the meaning of this?

?[man in Pidgin] Feel how hot the sun is.

?It's like she wants us to be here all day.

?[man 12] Do you think ?you're the only food seller around?

?You're still sitting down?

?Stand up, please!

?-[woman 5] Please give me, let me leave. ?-[food seller] Ah-ah!

?[in Pidgin] Madam, answer me.

?[man 12] Sell me rice so I can leave.

?[baby crying]

?Sorry, sorry.

?-[in Pidgin] Madam, please give me rice. ?-Uh...

?-Please give me rice and an egg. ?-Madam.

?-Madam, sorry, can I buy biscuits? ?-[baby crying]

?-Please, Madam, answer us. ?-[sneers]

?Give me rice.

?[food seller] Don't be upset, okay? ?Sorry, don't be upset.

?-[baby continues crying] ?-[somber music plays]

?-Hello. ?-[Idia in Pidgin] ?Sis! How are you?

?I'm good, my sister.

?Thank you for yesterday.

?No thanks necessary.

?Meanwhile, you forgot ?your baby's bib here.

?Ah, and I was looking for it.

?I thought I forgot it on the bus.

?You can send me your address, ?I'll send my driver to drop it.

?Wow, sis, no need ?to stress yourself over a bip.

?[in English] It�s even old.

?Stress? Am I driving?

?It's the driver who's going to bring it.

?-?Just send the address and he'll bring it. ?-[soft chuckle] Thank you.

?-It's nothing. Talk later. ?-[soft chuckle] No, wait, wait. Idia?

?-?Eh? Sis? ?-[exhales] Don't be offended, okay?

?Um,

?[in English] I know ?it�s not your husband�s fault

?about the job.

?[in Pidgin] But please, ?can you help us beg him?

?[in English] Maybe he might ?have another job for us.

?Sis, honestly, we were really banking on ?the former job he offered my husband.

?Ah, but why did your husband ?reject the job then?

?Um...

?-[baby crying] ?-[customers clamoring]

?[food seller] Ah-ah! Ah-ah.

?Sir! Sir! Wake up! Ah-ah! What is it?

?Is it because of the small biscuit ?you bought you're killing time here?

?[in Pidgin] Leave my shop!

?Are you trying to colonize my space?

?Don't try it! Don't try me! Leave!

?You didn't buy anything, leave!

?-[tyres screeching] ?-[Food seller] Idiot!

?-Let that car kill you. ?-[baby continues crying]

?Nonsense.

?[security in Pidgin] Sir, ?you're still here.

?Didn't I tell you to leave?

?-Hey, please. ?-Please what?

?-[in Pidgin] Bro, please. ?-Leave this place.

?Please, I want to see the boss.

?Respect your old age, sir.

?Respect your age.

?I'll hit you with this.

?Am I opening the gate for you?

?Leave!

?You clearly don't know how to listen.

?What are you looking for inside the car?

?Welcome sir.

?Sir, mind yourself.

?-I'll hit you. ?-Stop.

?[Efe] Mr. Sadiq! Mr. Sadiq!

?[in English] My name is Efemini Edewor.

?I created a software ?that strengthens lapses

?caused by AI�s introduction, ?especially deepfakes

?-used by fraudsters to bypass... ?-Leave! I'll hit you!

?-[in Pidgin] Let me finish! Let me finish. ?-What is wrong with you? You don't listen.

?-Sorry. ?-[security] What are you-

?Joseph, wait!

?See this man.

?What did you say your name is again?

?Efemini Edewor, sir.

?Are you the guy ?that has been sending me emails?

?All 215 of them, sir.

?-[Efe] Good... Good morning, sir. ?-Kill the pleasantries,

?show us what you�ve got.

?Here, sir?

?[Mr. Sadiq] Mr. Edewor,

?-Sir? ?-you�ve got this one shot

?to pitch your software to us.

?Are you up to it?

?Yes, sir.

?[suspenseful music plays]

?[Mr. Sadiq] You�re wasting our time.

?Sorry, sir.

?Mr. Edewor, is everything okay?

?[suspenseful music plays]

?[Madam Adunni] Efe, so you have the guts ?to come to my office to beg for your job

?[in Pidgin] after all the insults ?from you and your friend?

?[exclaims with disbelief]

?Wow.

?Okay, lock the door.

?Lock it.

?Stop moving in slow motion.

?[door slams shuts]

?[sighs]

?[Efe] So, should I call ?the manager for you, ma?

?[in Pidign] Call the manager for what?

?-So, so that he can reinstate me, ma. ?-[laughs]

?[exclaims gleefully] Trouble.

?You're still here?

?I... I don't... I don�t understand.

?What don't you understand?

?Are you a child?

?Please, leave my office.

?And if I see you in this restaurant again,

?I'll call the police on you.

?[hisses, mumbles]

?[pensive music plays]

?[music intensifies]

?[mumbles] Fuck.

?[yells] You are an ugly, evil woman!

?-And God will punish you! ?-You- What did you say?

?-I said God will punish you! ?-Please, Efe leave my office!

?-[in Pidgin] And if I don't leave? ?-Leave my office! Mr. Kenneth!

?-Mr. Kenneth! [exclaims fearfully] ?-[howls]

?[door shuts]

?[somber music plays]

?[babies crying]

?-Welcome. ?-Daddy, good evening.

?[babies continues crying]

?What are you doing here?

?[mutters]

?Uncle Ben has been ?trying to sleep with her.

?Jesus.

?But when she reported to Aunty Clara,

?that one accused her of seducing him

?and kicked her out of the house.

?-Can you imagine? ?-[babies crying]

?[rain falling, thunder rumbling]

?What about your work in school?

?Aunty Clara has warned me ?not to come back there again.

?-God. ?-Even if she didn�t,

?I will not allow her go back there.

?What if he rapes her one day?

?-[rain falling, thunder rumbling] ?-[babies crying]

?You�re right.

?Sorry.

?Today has just been very-

?[tuts]

?I know it's not convenient, ?but we will manage.

?And now that she�s here, ?she can help us take care of the babies

?while I find another job.

?We�ve spoken about that job.

?You cannot leave the children alone,

?they�re still too young.

?Well, if you found a job, ?or took the one that Oboz offered you,

?-I wouldn�t need to. ?-[babies continue crying]

?-[rain falling, thunder rumbling] ?-[babies continue crying]

?What�s wrong with them?

?I�m not producing any milk ?and I don�t know what to do.

?I bought small pap for them, ?but they�ve refused to drink it.

?There isn't enough money to try formula.

?[sorrowful music plays]

?[sighs]

?Where are you going?

?Babe.

?[thunder rumbling]

?[sorrowful music crescendos]

?If anything happens to my daughter,

?you'll be in serious trouble ?here in Lagos.

?You that has to swallow your saliva ?as a three-course meal is having triplets?

?You want him ?to name babies he cannot feed?

?Did we collect the loan together?

?I don't understand.

?Please leave my office ?before your bad luck rubs off on me.

?If I�m not a mother,

?I'm sharing your responsibilities ?with you.

?You married my child ?and all you've given her is poverty.

?Go for deliverance!

?You know why?

?God does not like you!

?[sorrowful music continues]

?[thunder rumbling]

?[dish clatters]

?[in Pidgin] It's not even been ?up to 24 hours.

?[pensive music plays]

?[beeping sounds]

?[man 13 laugh]

?-Weak man, greedy person. ?-[grunts]

?[coughs]

?[thunder rumbling in the distance]

?Repeat what you said earlier.

?I want to hear it from you again.

?[sorrowful music plays]

?I�m ready.

?Ready for what?

?Whatever is necessary.

?[whimpering]

?[sorrowful music continues]

?[Nosa sobs]

?[sorrowful music fades]

?[in Pidgin] I want to ask ?you one question.

?Say the truth.

?I'll know if you're lying.

?Why did you come back?

?Because I want to feel like a man.

?You that I wanted to help,

?you were acting holier-than-thou.

?Aren't you tired of suffering?

?-Aren't you? ?-Boss, see-

?Your suffering doesn't concern me again.

?Boss, I can make you more money.

?I can make more money ?than you�re making right now.

?I can make you millions of dollars.

?[men laughing]

?Millions.

?[in Pidgin] You can't help yourself,

?but you want to help the boss?

?-[man 13 in Pidgin] Talking carelessly. ?-[man 14] Dollars for that matter.

?Boss, with all due respect, ?the times have changed,

?but you've not upgraded your operations.

?-[scoffingly] Watch yourself. ?-God will punish you!

?Are you mad?

?Are you crazy?

?Your respect is lacking.

?Why are you talking about my business?

?Boss, I respect your business.

?Everything you have built.

?[in Pidgin] Remember you told me ?the key is to work smart, not hard.

?[in English] That�s what ?I�m trying to show you.

?Brotherly...

?I don't joke about money.

?I hope you're not playing me?

?No, not at all.

?Boss, everything I�m saying is true.

?It's true?

?[huffs]

?[in Pidgin] Have you heard-

?You guys leave.

?Oboz! Alright, let's go.

?[indistinct chatter]

?[in English] Ozzy-boy, plus you.

?[tense music plays]

?[in Pidgin] Come and sit down.

?Don't stain my chair.

?[suspenseful music plays]

?-[in English] Continue. ?-Boss,

?This game is simply a game ?of audacity, not numbers.

?The most difficult part is here,

?not here.

?Efe, don't stretch my patience.

?[in English] Okay.

?Have you ever heard ?of Artificial Intelligence?

?Arti what?

?Okay.

?Boss, look at it like this.

?You get a text message ?from an unknown number,

?your wife texts you ?to transfer money to her urgently.

?What would you do?

?[Oboz] Why would she ?text me from an unknown number?

?[Efe] She lost her phone.

?[Oboz] Then I'll call her to confirm.

?To know whether she's the one.

?[in English] Exactly! But,

?[in Pidgin] she then video calls you ?from the same unknown number.

?[in English] You hear her voice, ?you see her face,

?[in Pidgin] would you believe?

?[in Pidgin] ?Babe, what's up?

?Can you send me money?

?[Oboz] What happened to your phone?

?I lost my phone.

?It's urgent, please.

?[suspenseful music plays]

?I'll hear her voice on a video call,

?I'll see her face, ?of course, I'll believe.

?Why wouldn't I believe?

?[suspenseful music plays]

?Brother Efe...

?Brother Efe, I'm not booksmart...

?but I'm starting to understand your point.

?Hmm.

?[tuts] But wait,

?this...

?How is it possible?

?[in English] It's very possible.

?I�ve been developing a software ?that tackles security weaknesses

?created by the introduction ?of AI and machine learning software.

?Hm!

?-That is that... that your Arti- Hm. ?-The same Artificial Intelligence.

?Yes.

?It strengthens verification measures, ?making it very difficult

?for fraudsters to steal information,

?or clone details of real customers.

?[in Pidgin] Brother Efe...

?I'm here.

?Child of the soil.

?I know you know I didn't finish school.

?[chuckles softly]

?But this your... software

?seems like something ?that would ruin my business.

?Bozi-Bozi,

?-[mutters] ?-that is why I said I will use

?my knowledge instead ?to exploit those weaknesses

?my software is meant to fix

?for your advantage.

?[suspenseful music continues]

?Aaah!

?[suspenseful music builds]

?[eerie sounds plays]

?[chuckles drily]

?[suspenseful music swells]

?Artificial Intelligence.

?Yes.

?-Let's do it. ?-[eerie sounds intensify]

?[woman 6] Motunrayo.

?Mo.

?I was asking if you�re now able ?to sleep through the night?

?I know it can't be easy ?sleeping away from home.

?But are you taking ?your meds as prescribed?

?The only medication ?I need is to go back to work.

?My mind is not used to being this idle.

?Mrs. Ogu-

?Motunrayo, the path to recovery,

?means doing the necessary ?internal work and rest.

?And that includes therapy ?and consistently taking your medication.

?-Are you still seeing... hearing things? ?-[eerie sounds]

?-[Mo's son voice whispers] ?Mummy. ?-[bell ringing]

?[voice echoes] ?Mummy.

?-Mo. ?-[echoes reverberate] ?Mummy.

?[doctor's voice echoing] Mo, ?are you still seeing things? Motunrayo.

?[Mo's son 2] ?Look Mummy.

?I'm winning.

?Why aren't you looking?

?[whispers] ?Look at me.

?-[spooky growling] ?-[eerie sounds]

?Mo!

?-[whimpering, screams] ?-Motunrayo.

?Motunrayo.

?Breath.

?Breath.

?Breathe.

?Motunrayo. [mumbles] Calm down.

?[yelps]

?Motunrayo! Look at me.

?Look at me.

?Look at me.

?Breathe.

?Breathe.

?Breathe.

?You're going to be okay.

?You're going to be okay.

?[dishes clatter]

?[in Pidgin] Or should ?they bring more food?

?[phone ringing and vibrating]

?Still don't want to pick?

?Where will you tell her ?you've been since yesterday?

?I�ll call her later.

?-After. ?-Don't worry,

?the way you left home ?is not how you're going back.

?Eat your food.

?Drink water.

?Raise your shoulder high. ?You'll return home as a man.

?When you get home, tell your wife, ?Obozuhiomen has given you a job.

?We'll talk about it later.

?Uh, bro, bro,

?[in English] the plan ?that I brought to you

?will undoubtedly elevate your business.

?I just want to make sure that my value

?will be adequately compensated.

?Are you kidding?

?No.

?I�m ready to perfect this plan ?and make you money.

?But, we have details we need to... work out

?before I come on board.

?[in Pidgin] Brother Efe,

?you haven't made a kobo ?and you're making demands?

?[in Pidgin] Bro, no, ?I'm not making demands.

?I just want us to talk about my... my cut.

?Cut? What cut?

?It's a salary, ?and I will decide how much to pay you.

?[in English] I�m sorry, ?I... I can�t agree to that.

?[tense music plays]

?[tense music plays]

?[in Pidgin] So, you want the both of us

?to share the money?

?Eh?

?I�m talking about a commission, ?but on the deals I bring in.

?I'll make you so much money,

?compensation will mean nothing to you.

?[in English] Look, ?I'm going to make you 30-

?50 times what you�re right making now.

?Nothing to lose,

?but millions to gain.

?So what are you saying?

?See,

?since the idea is mine, ?and I�ll be doing most of the work,

?I suggest... no, I believe

?a 50-50 percentage would be fair.

?A 50-50 percentage ?on money I'm yet to see?

?You're missing some screws in your head.

?[stutters] Okay.

?Forty-sixty.

?[Oboz clears throat]

?[in Pidgin] Boss, I'll be doing the work.

?All you have to do is relax ?and collect your money.

?I'll just relax and collect money right?

?Since you said I'll relax ?and just collect money,

?why not run the entire ?operation by yourself and keep 100%.

?Right, Santa Claus?

?-[sings] ? ?I wish you a Merry Christmas? ? ?-Bro,

?[in English] I don�t have the capital, ?or framework, or infrastructure.

?But you already do.

?Oh-ooh!

?[in Pidgin] You said it yourself.

?You said Oboz is the what?

?-Boss. ?-Oboz is the what?

?Boss!

?Eh-ehn.

?Okay, 25-75.

?See.

?If I don�t prove myself in three months,

?throw me back to the street.

?[Efe inhales deeply]

?But for me to make this happen,

?I need to be motivated.

?Don't give up on 75 of 100%,

?for 100 of zero.

?[pensive music plays]

?Brother Efe,

?I'll ask you that question ?I asked you before.

?Can I trust you?

?Yes, brotherly, you can trust me.

?[pensive music continues]

?Bro, would you be upset ?if I asked for one more thing?

?[in English] I don't understand.

?So, first he has a job ?for you, but you rejected it.

?And now, not only ?have you accepted the job but,

?"Efemini just take ?this two-bedroom apartment and car."

?Babe,

?this doesn�t make sense, ?and it's making me very nervous.

?You said he used to be a cult-boy.

?Only God knows what shady business ?he's graduated to now.

?Efe!

?-Ah, Efe- ?-Shh, shh.

?[huffs]

?I thought you wanted me to take the job.

?Not if it�s something ?that could land you in jail.

?Who�s said anything ?about anyone landing in jail?

?-[tuts] Efe, Efe. ?-Shh.

?Listen,

?I promise you, ?there is no danger involved in this.

?Not for me, not for you, ?certainly not for the children.

?[inhales] I made it clear ?that I�m only in this

?' till we make enough to get on our feet.

?Nosa, we are not greedy.

?We're not looking for mansions, ?we're not looking for expensive cars.

?Just enough

?to take care of the children, ?and set up businesses for each of us.

?See...

?I know you don�t trust him.

?You trust me, don�t you?

?Of course, I do.

?It�s just that... Efe, this isn�t us!

?[sighs]

?Let me ask you something.

?What has being us, done for us?

?Our family?

?[sighs] See Nosa,

?we�ll go in and out, quickly.

?I promise you.

?[kisses]
