Jeez.

Alice, what's wrong?

Okay,

come, come, come.

What is it?

Alice.

Alice, what is it?

You're scaring me.

What is it?

Huh?

He touched me.

He,

he...

He raped...

Me.

What!

Who?

Who touched you?

♪ Monster.

♪ Monster.

- Okay, I got it.

- Emm...

Would you prefer I write your statement for you?

Or you'll write it yourself?

Wouldn't you rather hear from her before she writes anything?

What difference does it make, Ma'am?

Either she writes the story,

Or narrates the story.

It won't change the situation on ground.

At least, you'll get to hear from her first.

Would you prefer I write it for you? Or you'd write it by yourself?

Sweetie.

So I want you to try the best that you can

to remember everything that happened that day.

Okay.

Just take your time

to...

Take your time to remember all that happened.

Put every detail down.

Please.

Hmm.

I'll be back.

So,

everything that happened.

Everything that you can remember.

You know, I never thought that he wouldn't be coming with you guys this time.

He definitely prioritizes his work over his family.

Well, we know he's a busy man.

You want some?

Yes, please.

Awesome.

Great.

Suzanne.

Suzanne.

What is it?

You know I don't have to be dealing with Carl's business right now.

I'm just using this trip to escape an already suffocating marriage.

I'm burning out.

I don't know how long I can keep it up for anymore.

But I...

I thought you guys were already in a good place.

In the good place?

Is it from the girl he impregnated two years ago and aborted for?

Or maybe the secretary he's currently sleeping with and I know about?

Or maybe the late night rendezvous and silly excuses about work.

No. A good place is a wild wish for me in this marriage.

I'm lost of words.

I'm absolutely lost of what to say to you right now.

But you know.

Have you guys tried couples counseling?

No. That ship has sailed.

He's walking on the plains of hearing from my divorce lawyer right now.

Come on, you guys will pass this.

I can guarantee you.

It's just a matter of time.

You will find your feet out of it.

Trust me.

Ahem.

Are you done?

My Biro, please.

My lucky pen.

So...

You're claiming your boss forced himself on you.

Yes, sir.

And I can see from here that it's not the first time he did it.

Yes.

I mean...

It's not the first time he tried it.

So.

Doesn't that imply that...

when he tried it the first time,

you enjoyed it.

But not this time?

That's not what I'm saying.

I'm saying that...

I'm saying that he touched me in places I did not like.

And whenever...

So why didn't you report it since the first time?

He's the chairman of our company.

I didn't want to offend you.

You did not want to offend him?

Or you were enjoying the act?

Officer, are you being serious right now?

Detective.

Ma'am.

And I was talking to the beautiful young lady here.

So allow me to do my job in peace.

And I'm sure that you are aware of the fact that I am a lawyer.

Mr. Detective.

Madam - “The Law”

Would you let me do my job?

Or you will do it yourself?

So... ahem.

What were you wearing on the day of the incident?

My CDS outfit.

Tight?

Seductive?

You said you were a virgin

at the time he... -Yes.

A virgin... hmm.

How old are you?

Did you read this statement at all?

You said you were a virgin.

Do you have a boyfriend?

I do, yes.

Huh-uh.

And for how long have you been dating him?

Over a year now.

And you mean that in almost a year.

You guys have not...

done anything?

Oh, this is ridiculous.

Anyways,

We will send you to a hospital for some tests.

And, the results will determine whether we have a case to pursue here.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, baby.

They grow so fast. Don't they?

They do. They do.

GenZ's indeed.

Yes. One second.

Guess who. - Majek?

Speak of the devil.

One second.

Mr. Majekodunmi himself.

I've also been waiting for your response as regard the board meeting.

Yes, yes, I know the board should actually convene

next week for the pitch.

All right, then I guess that buys us.

ample time to do the needful.

I'll just do a little tweak here and there with the blue,

with the blueprint, and then send it through as soon as possible.

Is that fine?

No, no, no, no, we can't afford any slip ups.

Great.

I just hope that after this round, we don't get to face

that whole political gimmicks that the play and the bureaucracy

with this bid.

Oh, no. No.

I mean, we will win the bid.

I promise you.

Oh, you sound quite sure.

Oh, yeah. Absolutely no problem with that.

So I met with the engineers from Qatar like you requested.

And, you know, they showed real commitment

to wanting to work with our guys from this side.

Thank you, my dear.

Yes.

Well, we discussed it last week.

You know, we may have to bring in their own architects

who worked on the model project for consultancy, you know.

At what cost?

I can't say for sure, but, you know, these guys don't play with their “Benjamins”

As usual, there's always a cost implication.

Huh?

Cool then.

Sounds great.

You know what?

I'll ask them to send us their proposal

so that we can look into how it fits into our fiscal budget for the year.

After which,

and maybe here and there, the tweaks that I spoke to you about.

Let's see how far we can go with this.

Fair enough? - Absolutely.

Look. Let me take you through the whole

rigmarole of the operation as we see it.

I mean, I have the business partners coming in today, and then we'll...

we'll...

Em, hold on.

Let me, let me call you back. I think I have to deal with something here.

I don't know what's going on. I'll call you back.

Okay. Bye bro.

You can obviously see that I'm on an important call, right?

Sir, but the front desk just told that there are some officers here to see you urgently.

What officers?

I don't know.

Err, Officers, can I help you?

Officer.

Can I help you?

Detective.

Detective Festus Obosa.

Can I help you?

Oh, help? Yes. Yes.

Yeah, you can help me.

So?

Oh... Yes.

The help.

Um...

Some serious allegations have been leveled against you, and

we're here to ask you to follow us to the station so we can

clear it up.

Clear it all up.

Allegations.

Are you sure you're in the right place?

Oh, hold on.

Yes.

You're Mr. Majekodunmi...

Awo... Alowonle?

Pardon my bad pronunci...

Yes, yes I am.

Okay. Then we are in the right place.

What charges?

Someone...

Who is under your employment

a certain Miss Alice Martins.

You know her, right? - Yes.

Well, she has brought upon you

sexual assault and rape charges.

So we came here to

ask that you respectfully

follow us to the station so we can chat about it.

And clear it up.

That's absolutely ridiculous.

What kind of charges could that be?

Absolutely bonkers.

Maybe. Maybe not.

But you still need to get to the station.

Look, detective. Em...

Sorry, but I'm right in the middle of something here, okay?

And I have some business partners coming here within the hour.

Can we do this later?

Hmm... hmm.

He wants to do it later?

What do you think?

- No sir.

The problem now is.

I am not inviting you over for beer.

We need to move and move now.

I'll give you a few minutes to...

you know

put yourself in order.

May I?

All right. Um, do you mind, helping me trash this, please?

Sure. - Hmm, thank you.

Okay.

We're waiting.

Ah, there you go. Jolly good fellow.

Mmm.

Good stuff.

You know, this is preposterous, right?

I mean, I'm not even acquainted with this girl

that we're talking about here, okay?

Yes, she works in my office, but that doesn't mean I work closely

or directly with her.

You met my PA, right?

How did you employ her?

Umm... The HR department can answer that. I don't, I don't know.

Um... what is her job description in your office?

Look.

I have more than 56 members of staff working in that office building.

And how am I supposed to know what she does exactly?

Oh, so you mean to further state that,

you have had no

close interaction ever with her?

I may have met, once or twice

in the office corridors, but other than that, I don't recall.

Well, she has a lot to say about you.

Of course she does. I'm her boss. What do you expect?

The rape test results came out positive.

Indicating forceful entry.

And she names you as the perpetrator.

Detective.

This doesn't prove anything.

She could be one of those opportunists.

You know.

Mr. Majekodunmi.

Do you have a child or children?

Of course, I do.

I've been married to my lovely wife for over 25 years now.

Yes. We have two beautiful daughters.

My first daughter is 23 years old.

Just like her.

I don't recall telling you

how old she is.

And you did state categorically that you haven't had any close interactions with her.

Look. Okay, you know what?

I'm not going to say anything again until you call my lawyer.

Okay. Thank God.

Huh, I have been waiting for that line for so long.

Whoa! What took you so long?

Like I said,

you need to speak with my lawyer.

Hello Officer.

Oh. Detective. Detective. Detective.

Why do I have to keep mentioning that?

Detective.

Festus.

Obosa.

Sorry, Detective.

My name is Bobby Nwaokocha

I represent Mr. Majekodunmi.

And I'll be taking it on from here.

Of course.

You are representing him.

Mmm.

Can ask you a question.

Sure.

What perfume are you wearing?

Because it smells good. And it...

Is that relevant to the case or are you just fraternizing?

No, no, no.

Not at all.

It's just that I am very good with smells.

As a matter of fact, I can perceive smells of all sorts,

especially guilt.

From miles and miles of...

You see, in this line of work. You...

learn that people who are

on the right side of the law

never

call for a lawyer.

But then again, what do I know? I'm just a bloody detective, eh?

All right.

So you are not under arrest yet.

You can go ahead and

fill in your statement.

But I'll advise you to listen to my footsteps

carefully when I walk away.

Because the next time you'll hear them

would be them coming to get you.

I'm sorry. I got that last part from a movie.

Just forgive me, yeah. Scratch that.

Fill the form.

Yeah. Rather, write your statement.

Come on. Go on. Go on.

Hey. Hey!

It's okay. It's okay, it's okay.

It's just a dream.

It's okay.

I am sorry. I am sorry. I'm sorry for all I'm putting you through.

You don't have any reason to be sorry, baby.

Okay? You're the victim here. You shouldn't have to feel sorry.

He should be the sorry one.

I'm sorry.

You'll be fine. Okay?

So, I just got off the phone with the detective.

And he said...

he said that we might have to go back to the station for more questioning.

No, no, no. Please don't make me do it. I don't want to go back there.

I don't want the trauma. I keep seeing him in my head.

I keep seeing him in my head. - I know

I know how difficult this must be for you,

but if we would have to get to the bottom of this,

then we have to be brave enough to face it.

But I'm so scared.

You don't have any reason to be scared, baby.

I'm here with you all the way.

I'm your sister,

and I will see to it personally that he pays for all his evil deeds.

Okay?

Look at me. Hey, look at me, honey.

I'm here for you. And we'll fight this together.

I just...

I just wish Mom and Dad were here with us right now.

But...

be assured that they are

watching us from up there. And they'll see us through this, okay?

You'll be okay.

You'll be fine.

Sorry.

Come in.

I can't believe that I will be facing this kind of ridiculous accusation.

Right in the middle of all of...

all, all of my... - Wait a minute. Where's your family?

Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you.

My wife and two daughters.

They're... they're in London for her younger brother's wedding. Right?

You know, I'm supposed to join them at the end of the month.

That's fine. It gives us ample time to deal with all of this mess.

You mean, we can deal with this in no time?

Absolutely.

Half the time, these cases end in settlements.

Or the victims pull out of the case.

Or the police have to drop the case for lack of sufficient evidence

against the accused.

Except there's something you're not telling me.

Well, what you said before sounds good.

But what do you mean by

there's something I'm not telling you.

By that, you are asking if I did it.

Then you don't know me at all.

I know you.

Not as a rapist, but with these Gen Zs... huh.

I know you.

Oh, come on, don't be ridiculous.

I can't touch her.

She's my daughter's age.

I just need to know what's really going on

so I can give you proper legal advice and a proper assessment of this case.

What's really going on?

Okay, okay. I...

I know the girl.

There we go.

Yeah, but not like that.

Uh-huh...

I mean, I recognize her, but nothing like that really happened.

Then what happened?

Look, I walked into the office building

and I saw her by the office corridor with another girl.

Okay.

And I noticed that

they were discussing about something, but they were so engulfed

and they didn't notice me coming.

I mean, by the time I got to them...

Good morning, ladies.

- Good morning, sir. - Just a few minutes past 10 a.m

and you are having a break already, both of you?

No, no, no, I was asked to show Alice around the company.

So you get acquainted with it?

Oh, is she just joining us? - Yes, that.

Oh, in that case, let me welcome you officially.

My name is Majekodunmi Alowonle.

I am the CEO of this establishment.

I am so sorry, Alice.

Alice Martins. I am such a huge fan.

I have read everything.

I mean a lot about you.

I've always wished to meet you.

Because I have, like a thousand and...

10 billion questions to ask.

And just to be standing here with you is such a huge honor.

And I am so honored.

That's that's.

That's good. That's that's. That's good.

Miss em... Alice?

- Yes, Alice. - Okay.

I'm saying a lot.

I'm saying a lot. I am so sorry.

Listen, listen. That's okay. Of course you are.

Um... what school did you graduate from?

Owen University, Ilorin.

Oh, the same Owen? - Yes.

Uh...

What did you study?

Industrial chemistry.

Was that on or off campus? - Off campus?

Oh I see.

Well, welcome to er, Majek Holdings. Okay.

I hope you enjoy your experience here.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Is he always this nice?

I'm sure he has his moments.

Come, let me show you around.

And that is how,

and when I met her for the first time.

Just one girl in the office corridor of my office building.

I never believed a day like this will come.

Things like this happen sometimes.

Absolute bonkers!

So, have there been any other interaction between the two of you?

Nothing significant, really.

Except for the day she claimed was the day I raped her.

I go to the office

very late.

I got there late because

I was returning from CDS.

Then,

Becca came to my desk

to inform me that I needed to submit the report.

The report on the week's deliverables

to the manager's office.

Before I left

that day...

How am I supposed to do that? It's evening already.

You should have returned earlier too.

Well, predict Lagos traffic at your own peril.

Anyway girl, that's your problem. I have my own issues to deal with.

Your own issue to deal with.

Girl,

what happened to your hand?

It's nothing. I... I cut my hand last night when I was chopping onion.

- Sorry.

- Thank you.

- Alice.

What are you busy with?

Hi, Rebecca.

Hi, Sandra.

I am busy with all of this.

You can leave all of this. The boss wants to see you in his office now.

Huh?

He dropped this note on my desk, that he wants to see you in his office.

Immediately you returned.

What Boss?

Yes. What Boss?

Ahan... Ladies, what's going on here?

Why does he want to see me again?

Alice, how am I supposed to know?

Mmm... Okay.

Um... I will be there. - Better.

Just make sure you go now. Okay?

So I dropped what I was doing at the time and went into his office.

Why were you worried when he... rather when she said he wanted to see you.

Because of the way he behaved the last time I was in his office.

What happened?

He came to my side of the table and

was handsy with me.

Hmm.

He touched you.

At the time, I... I didn't want to think much of it

Okay. Can you tell me who saw you

when you were leaving for his office

and or when you were leaving his office?

I, I can't

remember who I saw when I was going into his office.

But he told me to

tell Sandra that he wasn't going to see anyone else

after me.

And that she could leave immediately she was done with what she was doing.

Tsk... tsk. Huh.

So,

Sandra can corroborate your story, right?

Yes, I...

I... I guess so.

And when you were leaving later that day?

Rebecca.

Rebecca Shonde.

Rebecca Shonde.

Uh-huh,

Continue.

Wait wait wait wait.

No no no no no.

That's not how I remember it. Okay.

I, I never...

Sent her to Sandra or to go tell Sandra that I didn't

want to see anyone else.

Well, but your P.A. said you did.

Why would I drop a note on Sandra's table?

Or tell her to go and see Sandra

when I can easily get her through the intercom?

You tell me. I wasn't there.

This is insane.

Is Sandra on this cock drip as well?

Hmm. Why should she be?

Should she have a reason to be?

Officer, I don't know.

Detective.

Okay. “DICK-TEC-TIVE”.

And... ahem.

About the first time she was in your office.

She said that it was quite suggestive with your...

“touchy-touchy”.

Look, I don't know where all of this is fucking going away.

Or where it's fucking coming from, okay?

What I'm telling you is that I did not even fucking ask for her.

I didn't tell Sandra to give her a fucking note.

I didn't send Sandra with any fucking instructions to do any fucking thing.

I won't even have any reason

to be with her in the fucking first place.

I don't know where the fuck this is going, okay?

Fuck.

Well, that was a lot of fucks.

Detective.

I need to confer with my client.

I don't know you as a rapist.

I know you like your women.

But...

what's wrong with this girl?

What was going on? Seriously.

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

Maybe, maybe she wants money.

Huh, she wouldn't be the first person to do that, right?

Seriously, someone has done that before. Yes.

- Yes. - Who?

One, Tyra Abisogun.

But it had nothing to do with rape.

Okay, it was blackmail.

Someone tried to blackmail you, and you refused to tell me.

It was a long time ago.

I hadn't engaged you as my lawyer then.

How did you handle the case?

My lawyer took care of it.

Settled the situation.

We settled out of court.

We, we paid her off.

Eish.

If that surfaces, it's not going to be a good look.

It's not going to be a good look.

Tell you what.

I'm going to speak with her lawyer.

I gather she's also her sister.

This is absolutely bonkers.

Tell me about it.

It's gonna be good.

Here.

You should drink some more water.

Sorry, yeah.

And just rest now.

Please, please.

Don't put off the light. - Why?

I don't want to be in the dark.

All right, but you should try to sleep now, yeah?

Mtchew!

How is she holding up?

She'll come around.

It's not been easy though.

I know you're busy with your sister's case and all.

I would do the same if I were in your shoes.

We can't keep ignoring all our other clients.

Yes babe, I know. I know.

Alhaji Baku thinks we are neglecting his son.

The boy has been in custody for over 24 hours now.

But I, I thought you handled that already.

No, I did not.

He's not a first time offender.

Plus, he has a pending case against him.

But why do we even keep defending criminals like him?

Maybe it's a good thing he's off the streets, you know.

Uh-uh.

You better than anyone else

know that he's not a criminal, until the court say so.

- Mtchew, I know. - Besides I think...

he's a suspect for something he knows nothing about.

I know, and I'm sorry.

But Babe, you know I never wanted to take Alhaji as a client.

Especially not for his son.

He keeps getting on the wrong side of the law.

That is the kind of job we find ourselves in.

Representing people we hate the most.

Not me though. My beliefs come first.

You're right.

Excuse me.

Hello, Doctor.

I'm fine, thank you. You?

Yeah. I'm okay.

Oh, okay.

That's... That's fine.

Yeah. Works for me perfectly.

She'll be there for sure.

I'll be there with her before I go for my office work.

All right ma'am.

Okay.

All right.

She'll be joining you in a bit, sir. - Oh, thank you, huh.

You may have a seat while you wait for her.

Oh, you mean I should sit down?

Yes sir.

No, no, no. I'm fine. I'm fine standing.

Thank you.

Mmm... Do you mind uh...

showing me somewhere to trash this, please?

Okay. That's fine.

Oh, okay.

Thank you.

You're welcome, sir.

Rachel.

Who did just say was looking for me?

Er... over there.

Eh, hello. - Hi.

I am Detective Festus Obosa.

And I believe you are Ms. Rebecca Williams?

Yes I am. How can I help you?

Do you mind, coming outside to have a talk with me?

I have a couple of questions to ask you.

Concerning an ongoing investigation.

What investigation, if I may ask?

I apologize, I cannot er...

Divulge details about it.

Not just yet.

But you do know Miss Alice Martins?

Yes, I do.

Then you are the one I need to speak to.

Is she okay?

Yes. For now.

Please.

Rachel.

Yes.

Rachel.

Who's that man looking for? What is he doing here?

He came in this morning asking to see Rebecca.

Why does he want to see her?

I heard him mentioning something about investigation.

And what is that new corpers girl's name?

Alice? - Yes, Alice.

Really?

Yes.

See, if that man ever comes looking for me, tell him I'm not around.

Okay.

Sandra.

Is there anything that needs my urgent attention?

Because I'm on my way out.

What is it?

Who is?

I don't remember having him scheduled into my daily.

What is he doing there?

What?

Look,

I'm on my way straight away.

The man of the hour...

is here.

Good day, sir.

What are you doing in my office and with my staff?

Sorry, I didn't get your question.

Officer, I ask you again.

What are you doing in my office?

And why are you harassing my staff?

Actually, it is Detective, sir.

And please, let's not start throwing words around.

At least not the words like “harassing”.

Uh.

Look,

forget the fact that you think you are the law, okay?

I can have you arrested for trespassing on my property.

Cool down now.

I'm only doing my police job.

The job you paid me to do.

I didn't pay you to do anything.

Don't you pay your taxes?

Look, officer, or Detective, or whatever it is you call yourself.

Don't come to my office ever again, okay?

Unless you have concrete evidence that I have done something wrong

and you have a warrant for arrest.

Next time you come without these things

to harass me or members of my staff, you won't like it.

Kapish?!

Two things...

One,

Rebecca has the perfect definition and description of the person

we should use the word harass for.

And two,

you cannot hinder

an ongoing investigation.

It is a crime.

Obstruction of justice.

Bye bye.

Alice.

What is your fear?

I have no fear.

Everyone does.

Especially anyone who has been through things in this life.

You mean like being raped?

I mean, like

being in an auto-crash.

Like being robbed.

Being burnt.

Being in an examination hall.

Or the maternity ward.

Yes.

I mean, like being raped.

Being abused or being assaulted.

Have you ever experienced it?

Being raped.

Abused.

And assaulted.

This is not about me, Alice.

This is about you.

Please, answer me.

Have you ever been raped?

By someone you looked up to?

Someone you aspired to be like?

Irony of life.

No, I haven't, Alice.

Then I do not think,

you understand what my fear is.

Why not try me?

I was at his office door.

I was nervous.

But deep down, I...

I believe I was excited.

I was nervous because

I wondered why he would want to see me

after our first encounter.

But I was excited.

I was meeting someone whose...

works inspired me so much.

Or maybe a part of me just...

Just wanted to, just enjoyed being around him.

Come in.

Emm...

Make yourself comfortable.

Oh, you know what?

Why don't you sit right there?

No, no, no, no.

Right there.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

You know err...

I should be the one thanking you.

Why...

why that sir?

Oh, that?

It's nothing really.

You know, at least um...

I asked for you, and you came.

It's, it's nothing.

Uh.

I believe you wanted to see me.

Yes, yes, I did.

Um... I, I wanted to see...

you know, w-w-what I can offer you this time.

You see, I, I, er...

just anything that can make up for my wrongdoing

the last time you. Huh?

Before then,

I liked to see myself as...

a very strong girl.

But all that died then,

and there that night.

I hated myself.

More than I hated what he did to me.

It...

It was so terrifying.

I play it over and over in my head.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Hmm... it is.

It is...

Oh, this is okay.

Yeah.

Oh whoa.

In that moment,

you realize

how weak and helpless you really are.

And the most painful part wasn't just what he had done.

But what he said afterwards.

How are you still a virgin?

Uh, one would never believe it.

Huh?

Well,

I'm sorry it had to happen this way.

But err... Don't worry.

I'll take care of you, huh.

Yeah.

Huh, whoops.

Look at that. Huh?

I took your virginity, and you too my buttons.

Since that day, I knew he was nothing but an animal.

He had killed something inside of me.

I sincerely wish I could pay him back.

What is on your mind?

I don't know.

Certainly, you are a very brave girl.

And you have done what is right.

How so?

I really wish I could believe that.

What many people don't know

is that not talking about it kills you on the inside.

And that's worse than what you're avoiding on the outside.

Sharing your ordeal puts you on the path to healing.

And ultimately, it puts the perpetrator to face justice for their actions.

You have done remarkably well.

I can also assure you that he will definitely pay

for what he has done.

One way or the other.

And I salute you for that.

Thank you.

No.

Thank you.

Calm down.

Oh! Calm down.

How can you expect me to calm down, really?

This thing is not going to go away easily.

And it's going to ruin me the way it is being handled.

So what would you have me do?

I, I...

The man is conducting an investigation.

You have nothing to hide like you told me, right?

Oh, no. I have nothing, nothing to hide about her.

But what if he keeps digging and something else comes up?

What if?

Something else like what?

I keep asking you.

What are you not telling me?

I've told you everything already, okay.

But what if something about my previous settlement comes up, huh?

Right.

Well, like I said, calm down.

If anything like that comes up, we'll be ready for them.

- Right. - Okay. Okay.

What about him harassing my staff members?

What about that?

The man is conducting an investigation.

He's a detective.

We cannot stop him.

Though, I could request a court injunction that prevents him

from questioning your staff without us being present.

But...

If you have nothing to hide,

let the man do his job that taxpayers are paying him for.

Oh, you think that's funny, right?

I'm not laughing. Am I?

You said that he questioned one of your office girls.

Yes.

Who is she? And what's her relevance to the case that you may know of?

I don't know.

Mr. Majekodunmi.

What are you not telling me?

Oga Festus.

Why are you so concerned with her case?

If only you knew what it is to have your sister raped.

Well...

Someone is waiting to see you outside.

I thought your secretary was the only person you once had a thing with.

No, but, I mean, I had something with her, but it wasn't serious.

You know, it wasn't like...

serious.

What is it with you and these small girls?

That's not the point, okay?

The point is that my relationship with Rebecca ended very badly.

And I don't know what she's been saying to this detective.

This is quite a mess you've created.

I need to quickly work on getting that injunction.

Exactly. That's what I'm paying you for.

We've got to try to figure out a way out of all this, this, this mess.

I'm not so sure about that now.

Well, let's see.

Do you have her address?

Yes, err... N-no, we met up in hotel rooms.

Spare me the details. Do you have her number?

Yes, yes, I do.

I need to talk to this guy and find out what the detective knows.

Although this could be good.

This could be good.

I'll set something in motion.

Sometimes your best line of defense is to play the offense.

You're not making any sense right now.

I'll see you.

If everything you said about this Rebecca girl is true,

then it means we have enough evidence to prosecute him.

Well, you know me. I like to be very thorough.

Even the detective is convinced that it's true.

Just as you are.

But as for me, it has to be airtight.

I understand your meticulousness. Babe...

Two first-hand witnesses giving the same account

about the same guy at the same place?

It means we have enough evidence to pursue.

Well, on the surface, yeah. But arguably,

I don't think the Rebecca's case was an outright rape.

As far as I'm concerned,

they had an affair and then it turned sour.

Even after she claimed that it was non-consensual sex or rape.

They were seen at multiple hotels on different occasions.

Sis, our favorite program is about to start.

Just go ahead. I'll join you.

Don't ask me for update later.

I promise not to. I will try not to.

She knows.

Why rat him out now?

I mean, she risks losing her job.

Yeah, that's exactly what she's doing. Risking it all.

Then, what is the motive?

From the way I see this, she's losing at all ends.

Well... There's supposed to be a point there.

But to think about it, even after she claimed that

it was non-consensual sex or rape,

she kept sending several text messages to him, begging him to take her back.

Oh, wow.

And he refused?

Of course, he refused.

Apparently, there was a new girl on the block.

Who was it?

His P.A. - Holy cow!

This guy is a chronic cheat. I wonder how his wife survives.

Unfortunately, I do not have the answer to that question.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Who's this?

Why exactly are we meeting here?

Would you have preferred a fancy restaurant?

Sorry, I didn't want to give you the wrong impression.

Sorry, but not funny.

It wasn't intended to be.

Why am I here?

Obviously, this is informal.

Although we may consult with each other before trying a case, I...

I think this is something different.

Okay.

I'm listening.

I have a proposal for you.

And what would that be?

In there,

are signed and sworn NDA's of two previous accusers of my client.

Obviously trying to shake him down for some ransom.

And you expect these to convince me.

How?

It clearly shows a pattern of young ladies, like your sister,

trying to use my client's weakness against him.

Just because he likes women.

It doesn't make him a rapist now, does it?

Wait, if I understand you correctly,

you're implying that my sister also wants money, right?

I'm not saying that.

I'm simply saying that should this case go to court,

it'll still come down to the same conclusion.

And we can save ourselves this ugly fight.

Not necessary.

Do you understand that what you just handed me

shows a pattern of your client's misconduct and guilty?

Misconduct and guilt?

Wow, wow!

Actually, I see why you would come to such a conclusion on paper.

Tsk.

But if this goes to court, we can argue this very differently.

And best believe we have what it takes to get the public opinion on our side.

Do I sense a threat here?

We're too civil for that.

Thanks for this, really. I'll see you in court.

She took the bait.

Onto phase two.

I'll see you later.

Hello.

Babes, what's up?

Hey, babe. Where are you?

I just got to your home now.

Where are you?

Great. I'm just driving home now as well.

Okay. What's up?

Well, a lot. I guess. But we'll talk when I get home.

How's Alice?

She's good.

I mean, she seems good.

Good. So I'll see you guys shortly, then.

All right. See you soon, baby.

Babe... You won't believe what I'm about to tell you.

You will not believe what I just saw.

What is it?

Babe, what is it?

That motherf...

Where is Alice?

She's in her room.

I hope she hasn't... Oh my goodness.

Alice.

Alice!

Alice.

Alice, open the door. I know you're in there. Open the door.

Alice!

Alice, open the door.

Ah, ah.

Ah, ah, Alice!

Please, get your phone.

Alice.

Alice, what have you done?

No no no no no! Please get your phone.

Someone to help.

Yes. There's an emergency, please.

I'll text you the address.

How are you so sure this will play to our advantage?

Because no rape victim wants it out there.

None. - Look, that girl is not a rape victim, okay?

I never made any sexual advances towards her.

I never touched her. Not at all. - Perhaps.

But let's just say that now she's going to taste

the same kind of disgrace she wanted to cause you.

I know.

Maybe, yeah. But how does that help my case?

I mean, pointing out that on social media is pretty messed up.

Huh? I mean, my my image, my clients, my partners?

They are all going to pull out.

Relax.

But how do I know my family doesn't know about this?

I, I'm afraid my wife already knows.

Your family may not like what it seems like right now, but soon enough,

they'll, they'll realize that you didn't do anything.

Look, look, look, look, look.

Maybe, maybe I'm not asking the real questions here.

Huh-uh.

And what might that be?

Which is why will she accuse me of rape in the first place?

This girl knows that I did nothing.

So why is she still hell-bent on ruining my reputation?

I don't know, but that's why we should be on the offensive.

Because I remember very vividly the evening she claimed this incident happened.

I was in the office and there's a knock on my door. Yes.

Come in.

Good evening, sir.

Evening, ma'am. How are you?

I'm very well, sir.

Err... why are you still here?

Most of your colleagues have gone home.

They can't wait an extra minute in the office.

I know, sir. But...

I told Sandra that I would like to see you whenever you are less busy.

Or at least before you go home, sir.

Oh, really?

Yes, sir.

In that case, then take a seat. I hope it's not anything too serious.

No, no, there's nothing too serious.

So remember I told you that I was working on a design, sir?

I'm sorry, I don't remember. You know, I work on a lot of designs.

It's... it's okay. I understand.

Well, I am done with the sketch and I'd like you to see it.

Wait a minute. Are you the one that came

with the architectural design for the Ibeju Film City project?

Yes, sir. - Ah, yes. Now, now I remember.

Do you have it here?

No, no, I don't have it here with me, but I can go get it.

Well, what are you waiting for? Go get it and let's see.

Thank you, sir. - Thank you.

That was all the close encounter I ever had with this girl.

So why she would accuse me of such a thing?

I do not know.

It's a crazy world indeed.

Yeah, it is indeed.

I just want to be out of this mess. I had this feeling of of looking over my shoulders.

I'm never going to get involved with any woman again.

I hope you mean that.

Well, let's just say this case is as good as won.

I pray so. - Please, please, let's celebrate.

She has taken the bait.

Let's celebrate. Okay.

It's too soon to say.

Please don't spoil this fun for me.

It's too early.

Alice, what have you done.

No, no no, no. Please, get someone.

Someone to help.

Who is it?

Detective Festus Obosa.

I'm coming.

Please, come in.

Any news?

Oh, sorry. Err...

I, I didn't mean to bother. I heard what happened. And...

It's okay. Just make yourself comfortable.

Oh, no, no, no.

Ma'am, do you mind, answering a few questions?

I guess that's why you're here.

Do you mind em...

running me through the events of earlier?

Prior to when your sister attempted suicide, I mean.

Um...

Okay. Err... So, I...

I just got back from a brief meeting...

What, what meeting was that?

With a, with a client?

Argh... tsk.

So, I'd returned home to my friend; Muzinat whom I had called to look after Alice.

Especially because I wasn't comfortable with her being by herself in the house.

Especially, these past few days.

Why is that?

Because this whole experience has been hell for her.

She's just a child.

How do you expect it to be okay when she's just been raped by the one person

whose praises she sings all the time?

Just so you know, she really worships him, you know?

She adores him. She really looked up to him.

She was over the moon when she was posted to his, to his firm for service.

So it's just...

heartbreaking that it's the same person who would do a thing like this to her.

Wait a minute, madam.

If you keep going about em, how she admires him.

And loves his work, blah blah blah.

One would think it's err, obsession rather than the case it already is.

Especially when they find out that,

she redeployed herself to his firm by herself.

Wait, detective, what are you suggesting here?

People get redeployed all the time. It's no big deal.

I'm not suggesting anything. It is an ongoing investigation.

So we are open to every possibility or fact.

Can you hear yourself, right now?

Huh-huh.

Can you hear yourself right now?

She was raped.

She lost her virginity.

And had her pride abused.

He forced himself on her.

My sister almost killed herself because the news broke.

And she's been bashed by the insensitive public.

Even after I mopped off her blood off the floor,

I can still see traces of it on the carpet.

How about all that for possibilities, huh?

Don't tell me to shut up. You are in my house. How rude of you.

Hold on, Madam. You misconstrue me.

You said something about

blood and traces.

Yes.

Talking about possibilities.

When a lady loses her virginity.

Especially in a manner such as this is claimed to have happened.

Isn't there supposed to be bloodstains

or blood smears around the area of the act?

Yes, but what if it's been cleaned?

Oh, no, no, no, Madam.

That is the exciting thing about blood.

You can clean it.

But you can't hide it.

The traces always remain.

And there's also...

that thing she said, he said.

“I took your virginity...

and you took my buttons”.

Yes... Yeah!

I think I just might know where those buttons are.

Yeah, Michael.

We need a search warrant ASAP. I just sent you the details.

I'm on my way to the office now.

Chap, chap!

Madam.

Thank you for your time.

Barrister. Yes.

I have police work to do now. And, ahem, I'm sure you pay your taxes, right?

Yes. Yes. Thank you. Detective.

You're welcome. - Thank you.

So...

What we're talking about is this landmass area here.

380 million Naira. A drop in the ocean for a man like you.

It is a drop in the ocean. But...

Are we sure it is not a swampy area.

No, no, not swampy. It's not swampy.

The entire area has been dredged.

One of our major partners has done the dredging. And we are good to go.

Yeah. So, all yours for that price.

You have reached mailbox number - 0-6-0-3-8-0-6-5-6-5.

Leave your message after the beep.

So you're not going to answer my calls? Since how many days now?

Just perfect.

Perfect.

I guess you have no excuse for this one, right?

And to humiliate me and my kids. By allowing this on social media.

Just perfect.

I'm so sick and tired of your cheating, Majek.

You will be hearing from my lawyers soon.

I promise you.

What do you think?

What in hell is the meaning of all of this?

I'm sorry to interrupt you, sir.

Kindly escort this gentlemen out.

This place is officially a crime scene now.

You must be joking. Do you have a warrant?

Your wish is granted.

Oh, ridiculous.

Now, look, I'm going to fight this.

Feel free,

feel free.

But for now, kindly, evacuate this place. We need to search, search, and search.

Okay.

Now, look, I don't know what you're up to, okay?

But this is not going to go unchallenged.

Mark my word for it.

Be my guest.

Oh, one more thing I almost forgot.

You see this warrant?

I've got two.

And the second one is on its way to your house.

To get that beautiful shirt you wore on the day the crime was perpetrated.

And...

Um... err, it happened here? I presume, right here?

Bye-bye.

Huh.

Get that.

Good. Now, lights off.

We are looking for blood.

Blood anywhere.

Blood everywhere.

Especially there.

Lights off.

Let's go, let's go, let's go. Come on.

Focus on the chair. - All right, sir.

I think I found something here.

Let's see.

Bingo.

Bingo!

Come.

- Yes.

Yes. Lights on.

Ladies... Our work here is done.

Adios.

Pick up, Muzinat. Where are you?

Pick up, pick up, pick up.

Babe, I was just dialing your number.

I'm sorry. I was already at the gate.

Okay. So how did it go?

The evidences are too compelling this time.

We nabbed him. - Great.

Perfect!

- That reminds me...

Are we turning in the documents from his lawyers?

You know, to prove, behavior and his pattern around women?

No. No, we won't.

We will rather present it as evidence for their plans to cover up.

How do you mean?

So I checked in the names and the sworn statements

with my contact at the record office, and nothing came up.

Interestingly, though, one other name came up on his record.

Do you mean the statements from both ladies were fabricated?

Exactly. But this particular one.

Tyra Abisogun.

The case is cold. But should we decide to dig it up,

there's something there. - What's her story?

22 years old.

She initially claimed that he was responsible for pregnancy.

And then she later claimed he wasn't responsible.

But then she couldn't point out any other person as the father.

How old is this case?

Just two years.

Do you think we should pursue?

Well, I don't think we should.

It will just turn everything out to be a charade.

However, this shows a pattern.

- And I think this is just perfect. - Huh.

We have enough evidence already. - Uh huh.

How is she doing?

Thank you, Officer.

Thank God, you're here.

How far?

I tried everything.

The judge still has refused our bail request.

Are you telling me I'm going to be here till the court date?

No, no, no, no. I must be dreaming or something.

This can't be happening.

Please relax. Take it easy on yourself.

How can I... Is it so difficult to get me out?

I didn't rape this girl. I didn't touch her.

Let's say for argument sake that I do believe you.

How then do you explain the bloodstains on the couch in your office?

The missing buttons on the shirts you wore that very same day?

And how does she know that you have a mark in your inner thigh

if she has never seen your nakedness?

What about this whole incident are you not telling me?

I just told you. I didn't rape her.

Then what exactly happened?

Loo... Look, at least let me see my accuser, okay?

It's only fair. - You haven't answered my question.

Okay, okay.

Here's the truth.

It was she who seduced me.

You can't be serious.

- Come on. - You cannot be serious.

Okay, so why are you telling me this now?

What do you want me to believe?

That you didn't rape her?

Or that she seduced you, or you didn't even know her?

I, I, I don't know.

But somehow, you fell into the temptation.

No, yes, no. I mean, look.

Look, I, we were doing something, and then she stopped me.

I mean, look, nothing happened.

We were in fact, it was...

Barrister.

Your time is up. We need to move in now.

- You can't be serious. - Oh, trust me. I am very serious.

Bobby, you've got to get me out of here. I'm innocent.

I will do everything I can.

Move.

What's on your mind?

I don't know.

But you must have something going through your mind.

I think so.

And that is?

Is it true that if you face your fears head on, they will go away?

I wouldn't say.

But I would advise you identify what frightens you.

And find your own unique way to dealing with it.

Isn't that the same thing as facing your fears.

Relatively? Yes.

What if I said I wanted to be in the same room with him?

By him, you mean?

I want to face him...

Head on.

I want to ask him so many questions.

Like, like why he would do what he did to her.

Like, if she was... God forbid.

His daughter or his sister or his niece.

Would he have treated her in such a way that would...

That would just cause her to...

Make her...

Did you just refer to yourself in a third-person stance?

Me.

I meant me.

You have a visitor.

Majekodunmi, can't you hear me?

Who's the visitor?

Your daughter.

Please, is she here with her mother?

How's that my concern?

You have 5 minutes to clean yourself up.

Or you'd rather prefer to see her as you are.

What are you doing here?

Huh?

Please, ask the right question.

What do you want from me, young lady?

Ask me the right question.

Why are you doing this to me?

Tyra.

Tyra Abisogun.

How...

How...

How do you know that name?

My roommate.

Ex-roommate, actually.

Vibrant.

Promising young girl.

Infectious smiles. She couldn't even hurt a fly.

Intelligent.

But naive.

You know, it's wolves like you in sheep clothing that pry on innocent, naive young minds

like Tyra, in disguise of mentoring them.

You hide under the facade of a motivational speaker at student summits and conventions

but I know you so well.

Flaunting your successes in their faces

just to give yourself some sort of egotistic validation.

My gosh, you are weak.

You are pathetic and weak.

You know your preys so well. Do you not?

You knew her.

You knew you were the only man she had ever known.

And yet...

- I, I, I gave her money to take care of herself. - Okay.

I gave... - Yes.

Yes.

You gave her money privately for an abortion.

And then you came out publicly saying you had nothing to do with her.

You coerced her into signing and publicly admitting

that truly you had nothing to do with her.

Now, I have one question, Mr. Majek.

What did you expect her to do?

What did you expect her poor innocent mind to do?

How did you expect her to face the world in shame afterwards?

Let me make something crystal clear to you.

Everything that is happening now to you

does not even measure up to her life that she took.

But at least you're going to spend the next 15 years of your miserable life in here.

Knowing fully well that you are the architect of your own misfortune.

Knowing that her blood is on your hands.

And no amount of water or bleach is going to wash it off.

Death is too honorable for you.

So, Rebecca...

was in on all of this.

Now I'm going to need you to use your imagination, Mr. Majek.

So there is me. And I have a story, right? And this is a fool.

All I need is this fool at the center of my story to corroborate my story.

Do you know what the icing on the cake actually was?

It was the fact that this fool was actually one of your victims.

Hmm...

Yet, you were willing to kill yourself just to prove a point?

Killing myself?

Let's just say my timing wasn't necessarily by luck.

How else do you rile sympathy if people do not actually believe an injustice is being served?

You, you did this to me.

You put me here. You!

Did I really, though?

Thinking about it, why did he drop a note on my desk saying that he wants to see you?

Don't worry, okay. It's fine.

Just make sure you go now, okay?

- Are you done with him? - No, he asked me to go bring something.

Also, he told me to tell you that you may go home.

There is no need to wait behind.

Really? - Really.

Hey.

You did well, Hun.

You don't have to be afraid of him anymore.

Okay.

Now give me that smile I love to see. That's it.

Thank you, Sis.

You're welcome, Baby.
