Original subtitles

-Morning, sir. Where to? -The governor's office.

[driver] Okay.

Wait. Can you remove that sticker?

-Which one? -That one.

[scoffs] Oga, they don't allow us to remove the sticker.

Besides, this is what the people use to recognize us as, sir.

CHS, car-hire service.

I don't want the person I'm going to see to know I'm using a car-hire service.

So, what can you do for me?

-Morning, Sheri. -Oh! Your Excellency.

[mutters softly]

-Oh, you're in a hurry? -Yes, yes.

I'm actually running late for a meeting

with representatives from women's health organizations and NGOs.

-Please, don't let me keep you. -Thank you, Your Excellency.

-But keep me informed, eh? -Okay.

I'd like to know the outcome of that meeting.

-I'll let you know. -Okay.

-All right then, have a nice day. -You too.

-Morning, Henry. -Good morning, Your Excellency.

I got the message from the Chinese ambassador.

Yes, Lola told me. They want a meeting.

Sooner rather than later.

Okay.

I don't normally do this, sir, but I know you're a correct man.

He wants to talk about a contract agreement.

Oga signed it, but there are caveats.

Hmm. Lola, when is the next Youth in Politics conference?

It's in less than three weeks, ma'am.

Okay. Henry, I don't want to talk to the ambassador just yet.

Your Excellency, you can't keep stalling this man.

I just need a little more time.

Lola, please, can you send the relevant files to my iPad?

I've got some catching up to do.

-Yes, ma'am. -Okay.

I know you're trying to buy some time, but we have to deal with this.

I know, I know. But I don't have enough information

to make a decision either way.

-I need more time. -We don't have more time.

What are our options?

Limited. Oga committed to this in principle,

but Friday Bello drove the initiative.

All right.

We employ bright and clever people, right?

Yes.

Put them to work.

Pose the question to them, theoretically, of course.

I want the presentation by the end of business tomorrow.

-Tomorrow? -Yes, Henry. We have no time.

[theme music playing]

Ugh, why don't you just move in?

Well, good morning to you, too.

Sorry. [in Pidgin] How are you?

[in English] I'm good.

-What's up? -Nothing.

So... how's Carl?

Since when have you been interested in Carl?

Ah-ah, I shouldn't be concerned about the welfare of my sister?

[chuckles] Of course.

Now...

What?

-You know you want to tell me. -Tell you what?

Okay, fine. It's not my problem.

Okay, okay. So, all of this is hypothetical, right?

-Of course. -Okay, so...

-Say I have this friend, right? -Mm-hmm.

And, um, this friend has another friend.

-Mm-hmm. -And these two friends are kind of tight.

Like you and Kunle?

Yeah! No, no. I mean, yeah, kind of.

Um, so, there's this babe.

Babe?

-Okay, who's telling the story? -Sorry, sorry.

Okay. Anyway, there's this girl.

And she's friends with one of the friends,

but really likes the other friend.

But the first friend thinks she likes him. Get it?

Does the friend who the girl likes like her?

-I don't know. -Toju, you're the one telling the story.

Okay, yes, he likes her. He likes her very, very much.

So, what's the problem?

Well, he's kind of afraid that he'll lose his friendship with the other guy.

-He should tell him. -What?

Of course he should tell him.

If they're such good friends, he'll understand.

Ah... I don't know.

Trust me. He'll understand.

[Friday] Is this how you people want to play?

Commissioner, calm down, please. You don't want people to start talking.

Oh, not to say they are not already talking.

Friday, state your business.

[Osita] Do you have coffee?

Osita. Yeah, over there.

Help yourself.

-[Osita] Do you want some? -Coffee, please.

For a moment there, I thought you were expecting someone else.

The dean of faculty said he was coming to see me.

Coming to see you in your office?

I know. [laughs]

Thank you.

All the lecturers that I proposed to him

to cover for me while I'm at the conference are, quote,

"not seasoned enough."

-What are you cooking? -[chuckles]

A pot of stew?

[laughs] That's not even funny.

Why is the project with the Chinese being delayed?

I am getting calls from the Chinese ambassador.

You're getting calls from the Chinese ambassador?

Governor Akale signed an agreement with them before he died.

Yes, the memorandum of understanding. I was there, I know.

Yes, and everything was agreed.

Do you know what that will do for Savannah?

Jobs, increased economic activity, prosperity.

The deal is high on the governor's priority list.

But mining is supposed to resume next month.

There is no rush.

If this deal is as good for Savannah State as you claim,

then the governor has no reason but to approve the next stage.

But Peter Akale already approved it.

But he's not the governor anymore, is he?

-How are you guys doing? -Oh...

You were right. And you know how hard that was for me to say.

Even if they ask me to swear at the shrine,

I wouldn't reveal your secret.

Thank you. One thing, though, ah...

I'm not really sure if Angela knows what she's let herself in for.

She's had a good teacher in Peter Akale, from all accounts.

True, but school's over. This is real business.

True, but one thing, though,

lots of people are quick to wax lyrical about, "Change this, change that."

That's right. Talk is cheap.

-Well, my point is this. -Hmm?

How many people actually get the chance to effect change?

True, true.

-Honorable Commissioner. -Your Excellency?

Is it true that there's just one working ambulance at the general hospital?

Yes, technically.

Even though money for ten new ambulances was released last year?

Uh, yes.

Um, we are awaiting arrival, Your Excellency.

Really? Oh, since last year?

Henry, do we have a list of suppliers who take our money and do not pay?

I don't think so, Your Excellency.

Then we should start one with the honorable commissioner's suppliers

-at the top of the list. -Yes, Your Excellency.

[Osita] You're in a very privileged position, my friend.

In the immortalized words of Mordecai the Jew

to his niece Esther,

perhaps God has positioned you for a time such as this.

Mr. Vice Chancellor, sir.

Morning, gentlemen.

[David] Good morning, sir. Please.

Commissioner, what further steps have you taken to expedite the deliveries?

The, um...

The ministry, they have been chasing and chasing them.

-So far, no success. -Oh.

There was even talk at one time of exorbitant export duties, Your Excellency.

I see. Oh, that's a shame.

Well, please, forward me all the relevant details

before the close of play today.

-Today? -Yes, please.

And include all the detailed payment arrangements.

Will that be a problem, Commissioner?

Uh, no. No.

Excellent. Excellent, thank you.

Um... [clears throat] David.

May I call you David?

Oh, by all means.

Um...

One mustn't take these things for granted, yes?

Has my dean of faculty been talking to you about me, sir?

Oh, as a matter of fact, yes.

You see, I have assured him that--

And we both have agreed

that presenting this paper is hugely advantageous for the university.

Sir?

Ah, David, keep up.

The dean of faculty has approved your trip

and accepted the stand-in lecturer who will cover you.

-Oh, thank you, sir. -[chuckling]

-Madam Commissioner. -Yes, Your Excellency?

Wasn't the launch of the Women's Development Center

scheduled for this week?

Originally, Your Excellency.

So, what's the problem?

-We haven't finished construction yet. -What?

It's been over 14 months.

Your Excellency, um, the cost of building materials went up,

and there was a budget shortfall.

We experienced a budget shortfall.

And the contractor refused to work on credit.

So, why didn't you just apply for more money?

Um, I did. Commissioner Bello.

I sent him a number of memos

explaining the situation, requesting for the difference in the contract sum.

He told me repeatedly that there were no spare funds.

-Is that true? -Oh, yes and...

Your Excellency, there are indeed no extra funds right now.

So, Madam Commissioner will have to wait until next year.

Understood.

I hear that your journal on modern-day African democracy

has been accepted by some universities in Kenya.

Oh, yes. Yes. Quite a pleasant surprise.

Indeed, we must see about having the same thing here, yes?

That would be fabulous. That would be fantastic, sir.

Don't mention it.

Bad enough that Kenyans had to start it before.

But I'm not going to let any indigenous university beat us to it.

That would be fantastic. Thank you, sir.

Commissioner, isn't there a one-month mission

to the United States coming up soon?

Yes, some of our commissioners are going there to study governmental templates.

Yes, um, let's scrap that trip

and give Sheri the money her commission needs to complete the center.

That is out of the question.

That trip is at the invitation of the Utah state government.

Commissioner Bello.

Your Excellency, that trip was planned many months ago.

And Governor Akale approved it.

I understand. But priorities change.

So please make sure Commissioner Jacobs

gets the money her commission needs to complete construction.

Perhaps we can squeeze the budget here and there.

Mm-hmm, excellent.

-Um, Commissioner. -Yes, Your Excellency.

Please, I want confirmation of the receipt of funds.

-Yes, Your Excellency. -I also want confirmation

that construction has resumed, before the end of this week.

-Definitely. And thank you. -You're welcome.

It was a brave thing you and the governor did the other day.

You're all over the papers. Have you seen the papers?

No. No, sir.

Very inspirational.

Seems to suggest the beginning of new possibilities for Savannah.

We surely hope so, sir.

David, there are so many things we have to achieve for this university.

I can imagine quite a lot.

So, therefore, we are giving you a rare opportunity

to change the fortunes of this university

and indeed, the educational community of Savannah.

Um, if I may, sir, I think you may be overstating my influence.

This lies with the commissioner for education, and we are not even friends.

You do not need to be friends with the commissioner

when the governor is your wife.

-Yes! -Sir, uh... VC, sir...

Think about it.

Think about it. I am simply appealing

to your sense of allegiance and passion for the university.

I am hoping it is still as strong

as I know it was once.

Right, I have another meeting coming up shortly,

so I'll have to adjourn this.

But I'd like each of you to prepare a detailed report

on the status of your commission's key priorities

and the issues surrounding them.

I'd also like a personal statement

on your vision to serve the people of this state,

utilizing the various resources at the disposal of your commissions.

And, Henry, if I could have this

on my desk by the end of the week, I'd appreciate it.

-Yes, Your Excellency. -Okay.

Thank you for your time.

Hi.

Hi.

You okay?

Um, I got you some, uh, snacks.

Thanks.

If you don't like them, I can just--

They're fine. I'll just take them home. I'm not hungry.

But thanks, though.

So you wanted to see me. You said it was urgent.

[exhales]

The thing is, Dupe, I can't stop thinking about you.

I mean, like, us. Like, together, you know?

And you have a problem with that?

Well, Kunle is my friend.

And I shouldn't be feeling this way about his--

Friend. We're just friends, Toju.

Well, technically. But he really likes you.

Look, I'm not going out with Kunle.

And I don't plan to, now or in the future. Okay?

But you guys are always together.

Yes, because we're friends.

I like him. He makes me laugh.

And I enjoy his company, but I won't go out with him.

Oh, Your Excellency,

there's a man from the national union of journalists here to see you.

He's been waiting in main reception all morning.

But he doesn't have an appointment, but he insists that you'll see him.

Oh. What's his name?

Um, Paul Asemota.

Paul?

-Paul Asemota? -Yes, Your Excellency.

Your Excellency?

Okay, um...

Okay, um, give me five minutes and then send him in.

-Okay, ma'am. -Thank you.

-Wait, what's wrong? -I'm going home.

Why?

Because you have to decide what you want.

But stop using Kunle as an excuse.

Give me a call when you've made up your mind.

I'm sorry, Dupe.

No more excuses.

-Please go in. -Thank you.

Your Excellency.

Paul Asemota.

-As I live and breathe. -[chuckles]

Where in the hell have you been?

Oh, here, there, everywhere.

Time has been good to you. You look good.

Mm. And you're still a sweet talker.

-Please, have a seat. -Okay, thank you.

[chuckles]

So, what are you up to these days? Are you still doing your photography?

Ah, yes.

But strictly industrial.

I don't have time for photo shoots for models or portraits anymore.

Okay. And do you live in Savannah or are you here on business?

Actually, I'm from out of town.

And when I heard that you were governor,

I decided to come and pay my respects to my favorite girl in the world.

-Your favorite girl in the world? -Yes.

You walked away and you never looked back, Paul.

You didn't even say goodbye.

And not a day passes that I don't regret that decision.

I'm sorry, Angela.

Your apology is 20 years too late.

Did you expect me to stand up to the Momoh-Allis and live?

One of the wealthiest families in the country?

Thank you.

So we all decided to go live with my mom.

Wow, that must have been tough.

Yeah, you have no idea.

I can't imagine what I'd do if my parents ever got divorced.

Like, which one would I choose?

The nicer one, I guess.

Yeah, but see, that's the thing. They're both nice.

I'd hate to choose.

Well, let's pray that's a choice you'll never have to make.

[sighs] Amen.

How's your mother? Still a force of nature?

As fiery as ever?

She's mellowed, but our relationship didn't survive that incident.

Oh. I'm so sorry.

[clears throat] Is she in?

No, she's with someone.

Was it scheduled?

No, someone from the national union of journalists.

-What's her name? -It's a he. Paul Asemota.

A he?

I know you're very busy. Thanks for seeing me without an appointment.

Won't you at least have a drink or a snack?

No. But maybe we can catch up over a drink or meal,

put some ghosts to rest.

That might be difficult, but I'll look into it and see what I can do.

Here is my private number. Give me a call later.

It's been good to see you, Paul.

Likewise.

So, how long have they been in there?

-Been in there for a while. -Really?

-Mm-hmm. -What have they been talking about?

Farouk, hi.

Very well, thank you.

Listen, I need you to do a background check on someone for me.

A journalist. Paul Asemota.

Asemota, yes.

The full works, everything. I need everything on this guy.

How soon can you have it?

Excellent. Thank you.

Okay, now, for some more happier thoughts,

tell me about your last girlfriend.

Oh, uh...

Pfft, she was beautiful.

Very, um...

hot, yeah.

Really? So, what was her name?

Her name? Her name was, um...

um...

uh, Jasmine!

Yeah, a lovely babe. Yeah, Jasmine.

So, why'd you guys break up?

We, um-- She, um...

She went to school abroad.

[laughs]

Why are you laughing?

You've never had a girlfriend, have you?

What? Of course I have.

I mean, not even one. Like, two or-- was it-- three or five,

or ten, I don't even--

And that was your first kiss, wasn't it?

No, uh-uh. Of course not.

Ask anybody, I'm a player.

I've done things you can't even imagine.

Mm.

-Your Excellency? -Hello, Sheri.

-Please, have a seat. -Thank you.

Thank you for intervening today

on behalf of the ministry during the meeting earlier.

Ah, it was nothing. I was just doing my job.

Besides, I know what it's like.

I've been there too before, remember?

I remember. How can I forget?

Um, you sent for me?

Yes. Sheri, I want you to oversee

the Youth in Politics initiative and grow it.

-Yes, I-- -Really?

Yes, I can no longer give it my full attention

and I want somebody that I can trust.

Okay.

I would be very pleased to be involved.

[laughs] I thought you might, yeah.

-[phone rings] -One moment.

Hello?

Okay, please send him in.

So, yes, if you could draft some preliminary pages

and send in a half-page proposal, that would be great.

-Okay, great. -[Henry] Your Excellency.

-Madam Commissioner. -Hello, Mr. Duke.

Yes, so, Sheri is going to be in charge

of the Youth in Politics initiative from now on.

-Really? -Yes.

-That's a massive responsibility. -Thank you, sir.

[Henry] But I'm sure you're more than up to the task.

Definitely, Mr. Duke, I am. Thank you.

I will email a draft proposal before close of business today.

-No rush. -All right.

-Thank you so much. Have a nice day. -You're welcome.

-Your food is ready. -Thank you, Mr. Patrick.

Don't think a lunch break will save you from an epic beating.

Eh, well, you can stay here and play by yourself or we can go and eat.

-All right. -Yes! Yes!

-Uh-uh! -Whatever, it's just a game.

Uh-uh!

And, uh, where were you this morning that you didn't take my calls?

I-- I, um...

You made the front page again.

This is old news. Isn't it time they moved on?

The first female governor of this country saves a young boy's life,

and you think that's yesterday's news?

The press is just milking it now, Henry.

Yes, that guarantees them huge sales,

and huge attention for us, the good kind.

So, now I'm being used to sell newspapers?

Welcome to the life of a visible public figure.

Your Excellency, there's a good angle here.

-We need to exploit it. -Why?

Margaret Thatcher is known as the "Iron Lady."

And you, you will be known as the "Compassionate Governor."

I'm not sure about that, Henry.

Let me worry about that.

All you need to do now is go to the hospital and visit that boy.

As a matter of fact, you can take your family along.

-You can-- -Henry, no, no. I'll go.

But my family stays out of it.

I've had enough politics in my life to know better.

Okay.

You're not ready?

Osita. For what?

We booked the court for 5:00.

Oh, wow. I completely forgot. I'm sorry.

-Get your gear, let's go. -No.

I'm just not up for squash today at all. I'm sorry, man.

Does it have anything to do with the VC's visit this morning?

Yeah, it has everything to do with it.

The VC wants me to use my relationship with Angela

to influence funding for the university.

That's great! And about time, too. So, what's the problem?

-But, hey... -Think!

Think of all the research that we could be undertaking

if we had appropriate funding.

Refurbishment of the library,

money to buy books that are not out of print or obsolete.

Well, I never really thought of it like that.

Not every family has the privilege of powerful family connections, David.

Or unlimited resources.

I know that, Osita. I know that.

Ask yourself this:

Why do tyrants and dictators

slaughter education on the altar of convenience and greed?

To minimize opposition, to force people to scramble for survival,

make vote-wielding civilians susceptible to the politics of their stomachs.

How best to manipulate a nation,

if not to enslave their minds?

Huh. Even if it's for a good cause,

the VC should not have put me in such a position.

This is for a good cause. You better get used to it.

You're the governor's husband.

And lots of people will come, expecting favors from you.

-What? -You're eating like a hyena.

[laughs]

Dupe says I eat like a termite. Who do I believe?

Are you eating this chicken?

-Mind your own chicken, Kunle. -Sorry.

Anyways, um, Dupe said she was coming to see you this morning.

Where is she?

Ah, she came.

-Mm-hmm... -She went home.

Okay.

Yeah! Oh, I feel as if I haven't seen you in ages, Dad.

It's only been a few days, Angela.

[chuckles]

[Angela exhales heavily]

[sighs] So, how is Mom?

She's fine. She sends her love.

-Yeah, right. -Angela...

I know, I know. I'm sorry.

[sighs] She's your mother. She cares for you.

I know.

I met a new guy outside, a fellow called Hassan?

Yes, yes, he's my new chief security officer.

Huh. What happened to Musa?

His was a case of divided loyalties.

Ah...

I think we might just turn you into a true politician, after all.

-[chuckles] -I don't know about that, Dad.

I've only been here a few days and already I know I don't want a second term.

Never say never, Angela.

-Never! -[both laugh]

I think I'll take her to the cinema this weekend.

And then pop the question.

-What question? -I want us to be more than friends.

But, Kunle, she already told you. You guys are just friends.

That's what she keeps saying, but can't you feel the chemistry between us?

It's irresistible, man. [chuckles]

Listen, there's something I need to tell you.

Uh-uh, it's got to wait.

I have to go get me some more chicken, all right?

-No-- -Uh-uh.

-But-- -I'm coming.

Do you want some coffee?

-No, I'm not staying. -Okay.

I'll come straight to the point.

Is everything okay?

To do all the good you want to do...

you can't keep watching your back all the time.

I know, I've got people to do that for me.

You're not taking this seriously enough, Angela.

On the contrary, Dad, I know that they are pressing you to get me to behave.

And I've heard talk about humiliations at executive meetings.

Private executive meetings.

This is government, Angela. The whole place leaks like a basket.

[sighs] Okay, so...

what is it you want, Dad?

I thought we could meet with them again

and see if we can reach a compromise.

I think it's a waste of time.

But at least we would have tried.

Okay, well, let it not be said that I'm unreasonable.

So we can set it up for this evening.

Okay. I'll let them know so they can prepare for us.

I'm not meeting with them, Dad. They're meeting with me.

So we can do it at the governor's office or the governor's house.

Oh...

I think they were hoping to meet in Chief Thompson's house.

Sorry.

-Listen, Kunle. It's about Dupe. -Huh?

What about her?

Don't tell me you saw her with another guy.

She's not that kind of person.

She likes me.

That's what I've been trying to tell you since...

Okay, I'll make the arrangements.

Oh, and, Dad, let's be clear about one thing.

What's that?

Under no circumstance will Friday Bello be my deputy.

I-- I tried avoiding her for a while, because I thought you guys were together.

We are together.

No, you're not, Kunle.

-You want to be-- -Stop talking!

Kunle! Kunle!

-Kunle, see-- Kunle. -Leave my way.

-Please-- Kunle! -I said, leave my way!

-I thought you were my friend. -No, Kunle!

Kunle, see-- Kunle! Kunle!

[groans]

-Lola, go home. -Yes, ma'am.

I have something to take care of before I leave.

Oh, and before you go, please call my husband

-and tell him I'll be back a bit late. -Okay, I'll do that right now.

Oh, Your Excellency, Commissioner Jacobs left this for you.

Another file?

Please tell these guys to send stuff to me via my internal mail, huh?

Thanks, Lola. Where's Hassan?

He went to the canteen, ma.

Go and join him. I'll call you guys when I'm ready.

-Thank you, ma. -Okay.

Good evening, gentlemen.

It is insulting for you to ask us to come here for a sensitive meeting like this.

I'm sorry. I meant no offense.

But you clearly did.

Again, I apologize.

There is no need to beat about the bush.

Gbenga, your daughter wants peace, and we want assurances.

We have made clear our demands.

-Demands? -Yes, demands.

And we assume for the sake of peace, you accept them.

What demands?

Uh, actually, gentlemen,

I have not discussed your demands in detail with the governor.

In that case, gentlemen, we're wasting our time here.

Ah, gentlemen, gentlemen.

We are here already,

so why don't we just discuss and agree to them now.

-[Angela] Excuse me. -[sighs]

But since these are my decisions to make,

shouldn't I know what these demands are?

They are ready to support your administration...

if you would allow them a couple of slots.

What did you have in mind?

Uh, chief of staff,

finance and...

deputy governor.

Gentlemen, my father has put me in a difficult position.

But due to the respect I have for him,

I'm prepared to work towards a compromise.

-Angela, what-- -I am willing to consider your candidate

for commissioner for finance.

Secondly, Henry Duke is my chief of staff.

And the post of the deputy governor.

I will be willing to consider your candidate.

[sighs]

He's not picking up.

[scoffs] He didn't even let me explain.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

No, I'm sorry.

I cannot have Friday Bello as my deputy governor.

Why? Is he not experienced enough?

With all due respect, Doctor,

-this is not a matter of his experience. -Then what is it?

You know the saying,

"Keep your friends close and your enemies closer"?

I do not subscribe to that saying.

Are you implying that Friday Bello is your enemy?

Well, he's certainly not my friend,

as he has repeatedly demonstrated during our cabinet meetings.

We want a compromise, right?

We're not making this an issue about an individual, are we?

Gentlemen, gentlemen, our objective here is to--

We want Friday Bello as deputy governor.

I'd rather we left Friday out of our discussion.

To be frank, if I had my way,

he wouldn't be around me in any capacity.

Then Henry Duke must go.

Excuse me?

If Friday leaves the cabinet, Henry must go.

Henry Duke is my chief of staff.

And Friday Bello is our guarantee of peace.

Are you threatening me?

You can call it whatever you like, Angela Ochello.

Henry Duke will remain my chief of staff.

And Friday Bello, as much as I dislike it,

will remain as finance commissioner.

And what about the post of deputy governor?

That will require further reflection.

And that simply means what?

I will give you my shortlist in the next few days.

And you can choose whoever you want, and we'll move on.

Gentlemen.

How are you, David?

Very well. Nice to see you, Chief.

Ah... [chuckles]

This is not a bad-looking house.

Yes, but...

-It's huge. -[both chuckle]

It's the governor's house, David. What did you expect?

[both laugh]

So, what can I get you? Your usual?

Ah, no, I'm off alcohol now. Maybe some green tea.

[grunts]

-Come on, Musa. -[choking]

Why do you keep playing these childish games, huh?

Huh?

Who sent you to watch the governor?

Huh? Who?

How is my daughter holding up?

Oh, she's doing great.

She's doing great, hmm.

No problems or issues I should know about?

Nope.

[scoffs] Would you tell me if she did?

Nope.

[both laugh]

Why am I not surprised?

Whoever sent you, if I ever see you near the governor again,

or find out that you're conducting any illegal surveillance,

they won't find enough body parts to identify you.

-Do you understand? Do you? -[choking] Yes! Yes!

Yes! Yes!

Now get lost.

[coughing]

At least, I hope that her wardrobe has improved.

Has it?

-Uh... -Has her wardrobe improved?

Patrick, Chief's tea, yes.

[both chuckle]

Thank you, Patrick. Mm-hmm.

So I guess being governor has its perks.

I guess.

That smell...

takes me almost 30 years back.

So, you're a journalist?

Angela...

-Have you finished eating? -Let's talk.

What do you want to talk about?

You ran.

You abandoned me when I needed you the most.

I didn't abandon you, Angie.

But what could I offer?

-I was nothing. -You were my first love.

[sighs] Your mother...

told me that it was selfish of me to love you without a kobo to my name,

without prospects,

without a name!

You should have stayed.

You should have fought for me, Paul.

[sighs]

Perhaps I should have tried harder.

Perhaps?

Anyway, that's all in the past now, so...

[sighs] Yes.

So, do you have any children? Are you married?

[scoffs] No.

I spent most of my youth pining for you, and now I'm too old for anybody.

I don't believe that.

I don't believe there hasn't been anyone special.

There have been many women, Angie.

But there was only you.

-[phone buzzes] -Excuse me.

Everything okay?

It's nothing serious, but I can't stay long.

Well, a toast, then.

Let's savor this moment,

our memories...

To the one who got away

and later became a governor.
