Original subtitles

-Hey. -Hey.

What'd you got?

Nothing much.

Drinking some wine, hmm?

I'm sure you like it thick, huh? Darling.

Baby what's there?

Tell me.

-Oh fuck. Babe, I'm late. -You're late.

Babe, no.

-Babe. -I'm late.

-I really am late. -Do you really have to?

-I do. -Argh!

-I'm sorry. -Hmm.

So that's it?

You're going to just breeze in, stick it in,

stick it out and breeze out?

What's funny?

-This is funny to you? -No, it's not funny, I'm sorry.

You know you called for this date, Kay?

And yes, it's an actual relationship.

'Cause I don't understand why you're

treating me like some whore you picked up from Lagos streets.

Uh-uh, Babe. Where's all these coming from? What do you mean?

-But tell me what this is. -Hey, but I'll make up…

Cause it's starting to look like I'm just some sticky note

that you stick to your brain,

pour out your orgies, and then stick out whenever you feel like.

You and all these your dramatic sentences.

Look,I have to go.

My daughter will not sleep if I'm not there.

Kola, I'm your baby. I'm your baby too.

-I know. -I need you to cuddle me to sleep, daddy.

-Hmm. Aww. -I know you're my baby too. I know.

But I have to go.

Babe, you don't have to.

-Babe, you don't have to. -I do.

-I want you to eat dinner with me. -No.

-No. No, babe. -Argh!

Promise you'll forgive me. Okay?

I'll make it up to you.

Okay? Kiss? For the road?

Uh-uh, a kiss.

I'll see you. Okay?

Hmm, time to wake up, man.

I fell asleep.

Let's get you tucked in.

Good girl. Sleep well, huh?

Love you, daddy.

And I love you too my sweet, sweet girl.

-Sleep well, okay? -Okay.

You know what?

I've decided that if you could take care of me even when you are mad,

then I'm going to sit through one of your pooing sessions.

And don't get me wrong, it's not like your poo doesn't smell.

Of course, that shit stinks.

But I've decided to man up and take it.

Ah-ha, tough crowd? Okay.

Hold on, I got you.

Hold on, I got you.

There are some extra tissues here. Yeah.

Come on, now.

Look, I don't want to bore you with one of those my, "Oh, I'm sorry" tales. No.

I want to show you that I'm really sorry,

and how we can move on from here.

-Please. -I need to get Kiki ready for school.

Yeah, I know you’d get Kiki ready for school,

but allow me make it up to you.

At least, take you to your favorite restaurant tonight?

Okay.

I’ll make reservations for 7pm.

Deal?

I’ll love to watch you ruin it.

Okay. I'll shock you.

Woah! Who let gorgeousness in the door?

Hey darling.

Give me a twirl now. Are you not happy to see me?

Come here.

How are you?

I'm fine.

Sit. You look fantastic.

There you go.

Best part, seeing you now.

Should we make a toast?

Okay.

Here's a toast to the most beautiful woman on earth.

-Oh, please. -Did I say earth?

I meant the entire universe. Cheers to you, my darling

Cheers to us, babe.

To us.

You know when we first started dating, like, we used to go for wine tasting.

-Yes? -And then I used to pretend…

-Good. -Um, yeah.

You helped me.

-Yeah, I helped you. -I know.

Babe I think…

You know, I just became very pressed. I need to…

-Do you mind if I…? Yes, quickly. -Use the restroom?

Alright darling. Thank you. Thank you very much.

This girl.

You know if you don’t kill me, nothing else will, right?

-I’m a lover, not a killer, dear. -Oh!

My dear.

Nse, I swear…

If I haven’t told you before let me tell you now.

What am I even going to do with you?

-How about I come over there and show you? -Ah.

No, don’t come. Don’t come.

It's myself and Adesuwa's date night.

She’s inside waiting for me. Please don’t come.

I could wait for you in the ladies,

-or at the car park -Ah.

Ah, you're crazy this girl.

Please don't come.

I mean, is that not why you're crazy about me, huh baby boy?

I plead the fifth.

I'm not even going to answer that question.

Jesus! Des, what are you doing here?

Um, listen. I can explain.

It’s not what you saw.

I wanted to ask you what I should order for you to eat.

But I can see you’ve already been served.

No, it’s not what you think, Adesuwa. It's…

Kolade, you know the devil is very popular for one thing…

being consistent.

And at the rate with which you’re going, you will beat him to this title.

Thank you for doing what you do best…

-ruin everything. -Yeah.

-I’ll take a cab home. -I wasn't…

Garba, please put on the radio.

Garba, turn off the radio.

That's fine, turn it off.

Oops, sorry.

-What is wrong with you? Are you blind? -Um…

-No, she made a mistake. -Sorry.

-Sorry for yourself! -Adesuwa, she made a mistake.

-Nonsense! -I’m sorry.

You must be blind!

-I said I’m sorry. -Sorry for yourself!

Adesuwa, that’s enough.

-What rubbish! -Please, she made a mistake.

She'll be with you shortly.

Good afternoon. Yeah.

Ah, there we go.

My sincere apologies for my PA’s clumsiness.

I could have fired her a long time ago,

but you know, it’s easier to get a new lover than a new assistant.

-We'll be handling the dry cleaning cost. -Can we get to why we are here please?

Um, your husband requested I set up this meeting.

Um, yes, I did request that er,

that we set up the meeting because I, sorry we wanted to clarify

specifically why my father would leave all his property to my daughter and not me.

I believe he was explicit enough in the will.

His decision for making her the only beneficiary is his way of ensuring

longevitiy to his lineage.

Or his way of ensuring I get nothing

-if my marriage with Kolade ends. What? -Come on, Adesuwa.

We both know that your family doesn’t like me.

They've done everything to sabotage our marriage.

Isn’t it obvious, barrister?

As I was saying,

you both, as her parents, were made the custodians to the will

and signatories to all accounts until she is 21.

Okay.

That is absolutely fine with us.

One more thing, your mother has requested that

a paternity test is done before the transfer of custody.

You know what? That is fine as well.

Myself and my wife will have the DNA test done.

Brilliant. The firm will be choosing the preferred hospital.

-Okay, we'll be in touch. -Kolade.

Mother.

Kola.

Well done. Hope all is well?

I didn't know you were coming oh.

I would have sent the driver to get you.

Hmm, I’m sorry.

The next time I want to come visit my son,

I'll make sure to give him a call.

You know that's not what I meant.

I know exactly what you meant.

I see you’re still drinking your tea.

Do you want to give me the number of your dealer?

Maybe I would call him some time.

You're not serious.

Did you get my brief from Amara?

Yes, I did get your brief.

So you know it’s time to separate the tares from the wheat.

-Hmm, well stated. "Tares from the wheat." -Grandma!

Yay! Oh my girl, how are you?

Now go on your knees to greet grandma.

-Welcome ma. -Child of wealth.

Right. Hope you are good?

"Awebulous."

-"Awebulous? -It’s a combo of awesome and fabulous.

Oh! See? She’s smart like grandma.

Give me five. Good girl.

You know what to do, my darling?

Go change after wash, okay? I’ll be waiting for you.

-Okay. -Yeah.

You got the brief?

Yes mother, I did.

Mommy, good evening ma'am.

Hey.

Can we please talk?

When is this beef going to end? This is serious.

I's double i's.

Um, sweetie, underline whatever you want. I'm sure you'll get the answer. Good girl.

-The provision-- -Kiki, eat your food and continue later.

Okay, mommy.

Push your file in, so it doesn't stain.

Babe, no food for me?

Is your hand paining you?

Oh yes, please.

Sweetie, make sure you finish your food, okay? Daddy will be back soon.

Hello? Yes. I’ve been trying to reach you.

No.

I was going to ask if you could…

Yes, there's something I need your help with.

I'll call you later for it.

Hi, Adesuwa.

My name is Dotun. Dot for short.

You asked to see me.

-Oh hi. Um… -Yeah, hi.

-Okay. Thanks. -Thank you.

Oh, they didn't mention when they will be carrying out the test,

but I told them that we'll be recommending a hospital.

No mistakes, Amara.

You know what is at stake.

Ma'am, I have to go now I have a prayer meeting to attend.

Cool, Nse. Okay, pray for me.

-Of course I will, ma'am. Bye. -Bye.

Nse, is this how you’re going to dress to church?

-You want to seduce your pastor? -Um, I have a jacket in the car.

Okay,

fair enough.

Nse, if you want to lie, lie with sense.

I’m here.

Amara reconfirms that they will be at the hospital for the test.

I wonder why they haven’t gone since. It’s been days since the meeting.

Well, I have an information from my source in the medical field.

Adesuwa checked into a hospital for a paternity test consultation.

I knew that cockroach was up to something.

I knew she was hiding something.

But you know what? Nothing changes. Our plans stays the same.

-Sure. -You know what to do.

By the way, whoever is bringing the news to me,

whether your person is a man or a woman,

let them bring it personally.

Copy that.

"In return for this kindness, she offered…

'Don't be fooled by appearances,' she…"

This is beauty to be found…

Daddy, your phone is ringing.

Kiki, what did we say about table manners?

Eat your food.

Don't worry about whose phone is ringing.

Kiki hurry up, the school bus will soon be here,

Jeez, do you want to give me a heart attack?

-I’m sorry. -Don’t be sorry. Just pick the damn call!

-Adesuwa, it's not that deep. -I’m not the one with a

string of sluts who do not understand family time or breakfasts!

-Mommy, you’re shouting at daddy. -Will you keep quiet your smart mouth?

-Eh, that’s enough. -Or else what? What will you do?

Hey sweetie, finish your food okay? See you after school. I'm gonna be there.

Hey, please carry your phone, before all of them start calling.

Break the door.

The school bus is here.

Have I not told you to stop calling me when I’m at home?

Why did you do that?

Oh, please stop. Don't… Look,

don’t make this more complicated than it is, okay?

You know what? Ten minutes. Okay? That's all you'll get. Ten minutes.

Fine.

Ah, man.

Just put this down so I don't forget. Okay. Let me try again.

Small bad weather and everything just go still.

Nonsense.

-Adesuwa is beginning to notice-- -Shut up, kiss me.

Wait.

We need to talk.

Please sit.

Listen, Amara…

I really hope that you’ll understand…

when I say that I cannot do this anymore.

You can’t do this or you cant do without--

No jokes. Stop it, please.

You don’t even know what I went through this morning.

I was having breakfast with my wife

and we had a fight in front of our kid.

You were texting!

My phone kept blowing up till she flipped.

Kiki was so scared.

-I’ve never seen her so scared. -Kolade, that’s on you!

Okay?

I chatted severally, texted you too,

before I called. Okay?

Maybe if you had responded to any of my messages,

-we won’t be having this conversation. -Oh, come on, Amara,

you’re smart enough to know that if I could pick up, I would have.

You know this already.

Maybe, I’m so madly in love that I don’t use my brain sometimes.

-Sue me. -Hmm.

See, the universe wants us to be together.

-Can't you see? -Oh come on.

The universe wants me to go home to my wife and my family.

But I am family,

and this is your home.

See, this is a perfect weather for two.

-Oh please, Amara. -Lets make it worth it.

Please.

I’m tired of playing this cat and mouse games with you.

I’m tired.

Then stop hiding, okay?

Stop hiding and make a decent woman out of me.

I deserve to be happy.

Oh please! Your happiness is not dependent on me, and you know this!

I’m a family man!

Okay? I have a wife! I have a kid! And they deserve the best things, okay?

They deserve me to do right by them!

Putting a ring on my finger is the right thing to do.

Wait, Kolade, what do you take me for?

Oh, my God.

A fool?

So you think all these years I’ve been with you,

you just have to wake up one day and say,

"I don't want to do this anymore. Blah-blah."

Oh, please!

You knew exactly what you were doing

when you decided to be the other woman in my--

How dare you, Kolade?!

You call me the other woman?

You were my fucking first love!

And now you call me the other woman?

And I'm guessing my ten minutes is up.

Yes, your ten minutes is up.

That’s all you do. You make a mess and then you run from it.

Fucking coward. Leave my house!

Yeah, I'll leave.

Kolade, leave my house.

I'll leave.

And I'm never going to see you again.

You know what?

I could say I never want to see you again too,

but you’re the executor of my father’s will.

I'm sure I'll see you around.

Kolade, get out.

I’ll get you fresh towels.

Hey.

It’s nothing. The shattered glass cut my hand.

I think that's just fine.

Hmm, I’m sorry.

It’s not your fault.

I broke the glass.

Here, have it.

Hey, wait. Wait.

Could you please put the clothes down for a second?

Please.

Okay.

I said I’m sorry, okay?

I am sorry about what I said.

You didn’t make yourself the other woman

in my life. I did.

Hey listen…

I know I don’t deserve it all,

but I need you to keep taking care of me.

Can you do that for me?

Then what, Kolade?

Then you go back to your real family?

Who's gonna to take care of me?

Don’t answer the questions. I know.

I’m just the other woman, and my feelings don’t matter.

Of course your feelings matter to me.

Why would you even say that?

All our lives, our parents had groomed us,

and made us believe we were gonna end up together.

I kept myself for you since we were kids.

You made me…

you made me fall in love with the idea of a "Happily Ever After" with you.

I mean, it was not such a great idea,

but the seed was planted, and I nurtured it on intentionality.

Then boom! All of a sudden, you got Adesuwa pregnant and married her.

Please. Listen, Please

Babe, listen to me.

The only reason I married her was because my father insisted

that I shouldn’t have a baby out of wedlock.

See, you know, every time you say this, I can’t help but wonder

is that why you always insisted that I have an abortion?

Because your father was going to make you

-marry me or you had no plans? -No, no.

You know that’s not true.

Why would you even say that?

Then why didn’t you insist on

-Adesuwa getting an abortion? -Because she went

to my father before she came to me.

I swear to you. That was what happened.

She went to my father before she even came to me.

Wow! Boyfriend of the year.

I should clap for you?

For sleeping with your father’s secretary and getting her pregnant.

Kolade,

did you at least fight for me?

For us.

Did you?

-That’s right. -Listen, no. Baby, come.

I was in love with her. Okay?

I may have been the love of your life but she was the love of mine.

There was nothing I could do about it.

Kolade, you're still the love of my life.

I still want you.

I can’t replace you or let alone let another man touch me, Kolade.

I’ve trained my heart to love you and only you.

I guess now you have to teach it to unlove you because I can't.

I can’t, Kolade.

I’m sorry. I’m sorry, okay?

I’m sorry. I’m sorry, okay? I’m sorry.

I'm sorry.

Kolade.

Kolade.

-Kolade, wake up! -Jesus, Amara what's going on?

Amara!

What exactly is going here?

How do you sleep, Kolade?

I could excuse Adesuwa but Nse?

Nse!

This…This lost

stray homeless dog that I picked up from the gutters,

brushed up and gave a life.

That's how this one tied you down with an unwanted pregnancy

Kolade!

-Is that what you told her? -Of course, that's not what I said.

Then you must be dumber than I thought.

You know, as much as I would like to refute that thought,

I'll take a rain check.

Because I like how this dumb idea lives rent-free in your head,

and how stupid it makes you look.

So go on, continue your ignorance.

Landlady.

Mr. Kolade.

Sir.

You are under arrest

for the murder of Nse Akpabio.

Listen, I have nothing to do with the killing of Nse.

Why would I kill Nse?

Why?

"Hey, bunny chick, meet me at the guest room.

"I'll be there to finish what we started last night."

See Officer, I don’t know what you’re trying to prove,

but I know it does not prove anything.

I maintain, I have nothing to do with the killing of this woman.

What else do I need to prove?

Then explain to me why your lover is found dead in your shirt.

And this note proves that you invited her to come over.

She works for her. She comes here uninvited all the time.

Why would you assume I invited her over, why?

You sweet-talked her into coming here, so that you'll kill her.

Officer, you're not listening to me.

I said I did not kill this woman.

She threatened to expose your illicit affair

with her to her boss.

And also to expose her boss’s illicit affair with you to your wife.

And that is why you lured her here, and you killed her.

He did it. He killed her.

Ah, Amara, you too?

You too. Hey!

Officer, I didn’t kill her.

Officer, I didn’t kill her.

I didn’t kill her, Officer.

Two lovers, one location.

All I see here is motive, motive and motive.

There is no motive at all.

I mean, why would I want to kill Nse? She is such a sweet girl.

No, babe.

I meant, she’s such a good girl. She’s good.

Why would I want to kill her? I had no motive to do…

I found this.

One thing is clear here.

She was not wearing these clothes when she was murdered.

The person who murdered her changed these clothes for her,

after she was murdered.

Thank God oh! Eh, thank God!

This doesn't completely exonerate you yet.

But permit me to ask,

do you know anyone who may want to set you up?

If there's anyone who has motive to kill her,

it'd be her.

Oh, my darling wife,

I knew.

-Thank you-- -Oh, shut up, you fool!

I chose to ignore your trophy wife because

she's the least of my problems.

But you, Kolade Thompson, are a bloody coward.

You choose to remain in a loveless marriage for years,

because you’re so afraid to walk away.

Instead, you cheat and keep harems of girls everywhere.

When will man up and own your vulnerability, Kolade?

You rather kill…

and remain in bondage,

than grow some balls and face your fears.

Kolade, you did this.

And there's no turning back from this, Kolade.

You cannot be desecrating everywhere with your feces like a goat with diarrhea.

It’s high time you cleaned up your own mess.

Actions have consequences. This is your mess, Kolade. Clean it up.

You. You killed her, didn’t you?

-I did? -Yes, you did.

Now, I'll prove it to you.

And I'll put you behind bars.

Okay. Good luck with that.

Kolade!

-Kolade! -Um…

Kolade, how could you?

Sorry, how could I what?

Have my house wired.

Okay, I’m just waking up, you have to explain.

Oh, please shut up, Kolade.

You’re the only one who has access to my home.

Kolade, don’t tell me

you’ve been recording our sex sessions.

-What? -I have told you time without number,

I will not be lured into this dirty habit of yours

of exchanging naked pictures and videos.

I have a career to protect, Kolade!

Amara, you need to slow down, I don't know what you are talking about.

How many of my nudes do you have?

-No, you have to tell me now. -I don't have any--

-You sick perverted idiot. -Hey, listen!

I will not take any more words from you.

-Kolade, open this phone. -Can I have my phone?

Can I have my phone, please?

-Kolade! -Can I have my phone?

What's wrong with you?

What are you doing with--

Why the hell would you do that?!

You just smashed my phone!

You just smashed my phone.

Why would you do that?

Kolade, one more step towards me and I will shred you into pieces.

Listen, Amara,

you know as well as anybody not to bring a gun to my fight.

Okay? Drop the knife.

Technically, I have a knife and you have a gun.

Tell me, what do you intend to do with our sex tapes?

Did Adesuwa put you up to this?

It’s the desperation for me.

Kola, read my lips.

I will execute the last will of your father.

And I won’t let you and your psychotic wife bully me into silence and blackmail.

Listen to me, I don’t know what you’re talking about, okay?

But we're talking about my father’s will.

I do not want you to be the lawyer anymore.

There's nothing you can do about it, its beyond you.

I don't even know why you are so obsessed with me. I don't know.

Are you not tired?

Amara, are you not tired?

If I can't have you nobody else will.

I can’t wait to see the look on your face when you

realize that the girl you call daughter is not your child.

And then your sick wife will have no choice but to divorce you.

And then we can be together.

It's just sad to know that my child is a bastard.

And you're a thief.

You stabbed me.

Baby, you made it.

Babe, what’s up? What are you doing with the knife?

No, I’m making catfish pepper soup.

Can you imagine I had to get the fresh fish myself Come in

No, I can’t stay.

Not again, Kolade. You promised ten minutes.

Is that rain?

You see? Looks like the Universe wants us to be together.

This is too much of a coincidence.

-Kolade. -The knife, the rain…

Are you okay? What is wrong with you?

Kolade!

Kolade, you're upsetting me with your pacing.

Are you sure you do not want a cup of tea?

Mother, you know that I quit.

Okay, do you want me to send for brownies?

That should help relax you.

Actually, what I’d like to know is why you insist that my wife gets a paternity test,

concerning my daughter, Kiki.

And more importantly why you insist on us

getting it at Dr. Anu's hospital.

He is your family doctor,

not ours.

It is simple.

Trust.

It is something we have built over the years.

Were your father alive, he would have supported my decision.

The question is…

do you trust your wife?

I mean, word on the streets is,

she's been sweeping around hospitals,

trying to find a place to run the DNA test.

-Or could she be hiding something? -Oh, come off it, mother.

Come off it, okay?

My wife is not cheating on me.

I know you do not like Adesuwa, enough with the lies and schemes. Okay?

Adesuwa has done nothing but love me and this family for years.

Kolade, I would not have you disrespect me

because of some lowlife you call a wife, so mind your tone.

You see? These are the issues.

It's been years and you still treat my wife like an outsider.

I see the way you look at her.

I also see the way that you look at my daughter,

your granddaughter, with disdain.

It breaks my heart every single time.

Kolade, that’s all on you.

You were the one,

who allowed your stray joystick mow the abominable lawn,

when we

had found you a nice girl from a good home.

That is because father insisted that I marry her.

I always told you and dad that I did not love Amara. And you knew it.

And yet you warm her bed as often as you eat dinner.

I had no choice, okay?

I didn’t have a choice!

And now I found out she's the executor of my father's will.

What else do you have up your sleeves, mother?

What else?

You know Kolade, I know you are not daft,

but I'll explain it to you one more time.

She is executor because she is now a partner in her father’s firm.

Hmm.

-How convenient. -And her father,

is our family lawyer.

Again, how convenient.

Kolade, I will not warn you again about your tone.

You know what I’m capable of.

Mother…

I do not want Amara as the executor of my father’s will.

Please, write a note to the firm,

asking for her to step down.

Anybody else will do.

Not Amara.

Well, darling son, you do not have a choice in this matter.

Last I checked, it's still my husband’s will.

Okay, let me put it like this, mom.

If I do not get an email tomorrow morning

indicating that that the executor

of my father’s wealth has been changed,

I would have Adesuwa saying to the Nigeria Bar Association,

about my illicit affair with Amara.

And I will only be too happy to corroborate the story.

Awesome.

But let her also be ready to explain

to us why she registered at Lifegate Hospital for DNA test.

I will be there to support,

if cat caught her tongue.

Now, get out.

And do not come back until you’ve learnt some respect

on how to speak to your mother.

Did you get anything?

He didn’t stay. He left immediately.

Tomorrow we hunt again.

Thank you mommy.

We thank God, my love.

You’re back early.

Kolade!

Are you okay?

Um, yeah, I’m fine.

Quick one, did you leave the house today?

No.

Why are you asking?

Never mind. I…

-Are you okay? -Yeah, I’m fine.

Daddy!

Welcome back!

Yeah. Erm…

How are you?

Dr. Anu asked me to give you this, ma'am.

So how much is this information going to cost me?

I see, you’re a real business woman, ma'am.

The question should be,

"How much will this be worth in the hands of Adesuwa?"

The doctor who introduced you to me

will reach out to you for an offer.

I’m taking my leave.

The Dot just left.

Erase the Dot as quietly as possible.
