Stupid boy! Stand up and go to work!
[in Pidgin] You're not yet ready?
Shit!
Shit!
What happened?
I had the best night of my life, that's what happened.
No, I'm not ready. I am late! Let's hurry up!
Where's my phone?
Did you see my phone?
It's under the pillow.
It didn't stop ringing, so I had to put it on silent.
Shit!
Let's go!
[phone rings]
Hello.
I'm on my way. I'll soon be there.
Eh.
Okay, I'm coming. I'll soon be there. Thank you.
[in Pidgin] Sir please, drive faster. Okay?

At the same time you call the caterers
and ask them when they're bringing the food.
Okay?
-Excuse ma, food? -Yes?
The food for today’s court wedding or Saturday’s wedding ma?
This is serious.
[in Yoruba] Are you the one they sent?
Which one is your own?
How many people cook with their houses filled?
-How many? -I'm sorry ma.
And who says I cannot throw a party after…
-[in Yoruba] What are we doing again? -Court wedding?
-[in Yoruba] Who said so? -I'm sorry ma.

Sorry.
Hello?
Mr Amokachi, where have you been?
Look, long story. Please are you at home?
I have been trying to reach my wife all day.
Can you help me check whether she’s around?
Your wife was rushed to the hospital
-at 4am this morning. -What?
What happened?
She was screaming and in pains.
I think she was in labor.
But she can’t be in labor. The pregnancy is only six months in.
Well, we wouldn’t know.
We had to call for an ambulance.
My wife accompanied her.
Okay, please just send me the address of the hospital.
Okay. Thank you.
Are we almost there?
We are five minutes away sir.
Please take me to the nearest hospital.
Sir?
Take me to the nearest hospital please.
Okay sir.
Don’t worry man. We will get to the court in no time.
That’s not what I am worried about.
-Hello baby. -Hello Kunle where are you?
We're close to the court.
Okay. I think we will be there before you.
We should be there in…
in ten minutes.
Okay, just hurry. Alright see you.
Alright.
He's on his way.
Good. Let me call the band…
Let me call the band boy and make sure they are on standby at the court.
Mummy, you hired a band?
Yes, dear.
Oluwafunmike.
You must be celebrated.
You must be celebrated when you come out of the court after signing.
Look. I told you, this week is going to be like a carnival.
Yesterday Monday, was your introduction.
-Yes. -Today…
-court wedding. -court wedding and reception.
And tomorrow Wednesday?
Mummy’s night.
-My night! -Mummy I trust you.
-All my friends come over from everywhere. -I trust you!
They are going to celebrate you my darling.
And on Thursday?
Daddy’s night.
-Friday? -Traditional.
And Saturday?
-The main, the main! -Mummy!
-My daughter’s getting married. -Mummy!
-Everybody get in! -Mummy!
[in Pidgin] What's this traffic?
Oga!
[in Pidgin] Please just take me to the hospital over there.
I'll pay you. Move!
-[woman crying] -[female voice] Just breathe.
I don’t want to lose my baby.
You are not going to lose your baby.
Mrs Amokachi,
-can you hear me? -[woman screaming]
Mrs Amokachi. I need to try and relax.
Please, just lay back.
Everything will be fine.
Help me roll her over.
Alright.
Everything’s going to be fine, okay?
[Mrs Amokachi crying]
Okay.
Just breathe…
[singing] Unto thee Oh Lord.
[singing] Do I lift up my soul.
[singing] Unto thee Oh Lord.
Good morning Mrs Adebola.
Good morning Mr Uche.
Please I have come for my pay check.
Ah. Not so fast.
You still have one delivery to make.
That’s not correct Madam.
I finished all my deliveries yesterday.
In fact I had to stay back till very late, almost midnight.
Just to ensure that everything was delivered
because my leave starts today.
That's not what I have here.
You still have one more delivery to make
from the allocation that was given to you yesterday and until you do that,
I am sorry. I will not be able to pay you your salary.
Just one more delivery?
I…
Okay, madam please.
If it's just one more delivery,
please, kindly give to one of other guys to make.
I need to quickly cash my cheque
so I can buy my drugs to alleviate my wife’s pain.
-Please. -Why are you doing this to me?
No, why are you doing this to me?
Because you met me doing praise and worship,
you want to take advantage of me, right?
I am asking you!
Does it sound right to you?
That I should give your job to somebody else to do.
Please go and deliver this package and come back.
If you come back on time, you'll pick up your pay check.
Thank you.
You are still standing here?
Why are you staring at me like that?
You want to beat me?
[in Yoruba] Wonders shall never end. [exclaiming sarcastically]
Thank you. My change.
[in Pidgin] Sir, please hurry up.
Thank you.
Good afternoon, I have an interview here.
Thank you.
Good morning.
Yes?
-I have an interview for eight o'clock. -You're late.
I am sorry.
Okay.
Write your name down here,
and sit over there.
Patricia Eneh.
You can go in.
Has anyone come to address us?
Not yet.
Thank God.
[in slang] Man!
After turning down all marketing jobs now look at me sweating
[in Pidgin] all because of a marketing job.
Babe, your job is better than no job.
My sister.
Hope you…
Hope you have all your credentials?
Is is not our school certificate and NYSC discharge letter?
-What about your medical letter? -Uh?
It was in the e-mail they sent to us. It seems to be a very important requirement.
Hey? I don’t have oh.
Why?
The agent told us that
we should make sure we come with all our documents.
Do I even have a hospital I am registered to?
[in Pidgin] Please, just ignore it.
I don’t either.
But I suggest you go look for a hospital around.
And let them have a medical check on you
and come back with the results.
But do you do think that will happen quick enough for me to meet up?
I did mine just yesterday.
See, it did not take time at all. Just tell them it's urgent.
You can make it. We've not started.
Before it's your turn you'd have returned.
Quickly go and do it.
-Are you sure? -Yes.
[in Pidgin] Bike man!
[in Pidgin] Please.
[in Pidgin] Please, take me to the nearest hospital.
How much?
-Two hundred Naira. -[in Pidgin] Just go!

-Useless boy. -For Zoom lifestyle daddy take a look!

[indistinct chatter]
-What is it? -Daddy, the fan just cut my hand.
-Sam. -Hmm?
[in Pidgin] What’s going on? I thought you said you knew a shortcut.
Yes.
There should be a bend around that corner of the road.
So what do I tell Funke? That I’m late for my own wedding?
Found it!
[in Pidgin] How will I collect the money?
[indistinct chatter]
[in Pidgin] Take this money and go to the chemist!
[in Pidgin] Daddy, where did you get this money from?
[in Pidgin] That's the money for the house rent.
[in Pidgin] That's what I gave you.
Please wait, get to the chemist immediately.
If you go in this condition, you won’t be given the money.
That’s true daddy.
Where's my phone?
-[in Pidgin] Please help me get my phone. --Mr Sunday, you have four working days
to show up at our head office

-Sunny! -I don't want you to delay me!

[in Pidgin] Come here!
Did you play the lottery this week?
[in Pidgin] I didn't play.
[in Pidgin] Silly man, look at him.
[in Pidgin] He even has the guts to tell me he didn’t play.
[in Pidgin] Always using all your money to buy bean cake.
So bro listen, We’re very close to the court, okay?
So, let’s just get this done, all nice like we planned.
Then we can focus on our meeting with the investors.
Alright?
You know you could have just rescheduled this meeting for another day.
-Are you kidding? -You know that right?
-Are you kidding? -No.
Reschedule what?
The very first investors to show any kind of interest
in our app, and you’re asking me to ask them to move it?
Yeah you could have told them it’s my wedding,
-they’d have understood. -Oh, court wedding bro.
-Yeah, It’s still the same… -Court wedding bro.
That does not even take up to one hour. Two?
Tops that’s it. We're done.
Spend more than two hours?
You don’t know my mother-in-law.
-You what just get to my…. -Just get to my wedding.
-Bro, did you see that? -What?
Bro.
That guy nearly killed us.
-Ah-ah! -What was he running away from?
That guy nearly killed us!
What?
Bro! What are you doing?
What do you mean? I have to check up on her.
Check up? For what?
Kunle!
Kunle. What are you doing bro?
Sam, she's still alive, we need to take her to a hospital.
-To the what? To the what? -We need to take her to…
Bro. You want to use your own hands to cause problems for yourself, right?
What are you talking about?
We can't just leave her here.
Bro, listen. [in Pidgin] I beg you in the name of God,
Let’s just get you to the court and get you wed.
She is not your business, [in Pidgin] please.
We can't just let her leave…
What is wrong with you?
-We can’t leave here like this. -What are you on about?
Bro! Listen,
the last thing we can afford right now is for somebody else to see us right here.
Let’s go, man. We don’t need this.
Come on!
Stop!
We can’t just leave her here!
I won’t be able live with myself if she dies.
What’s wrong with you?
Are you going to help me or not? We need to take her to the hospital now!
Kunle!
Oh my God, she’s still alive.
Come here, come and open the door.
Help me [in Pidgin] please!
[in Pidgin] What type of blood is this?
-A fan cut my hand. -Please, my boss is not around
[in Pidgin] and I don’t know how to treat this type of wound.
Move your hand please.
-[in Pidgin] You are bleeding badly. -Okay, no problem.
This is what will happen. Just get me something to stop the bleeding.
-[in English] Stop which bleeding? -[in Pidgin] Hurry up.
[in Pidgin] Take a look at the wound, it’s deep.
Look at the blood.
Please. I don’t even have anything that can be used to stop bleeding.
What sort of problem is this? Look,
I have an important place to go to. Please
-Where is your boss? -Are you deaf?
My boss is not here. I don’t know where he is.
I don’t even what time he will be back.
Do you know what will happen? You will help me.
I have something important to do which involves a lot of money.
Please help me out.
Sir, I don't like trouble.
The only thing you can do for yourself,
is to decide if your life is more important than the money.
Go and treat this wound at the hospital.
I can’t treat this, please leave!
The Council will lock this shop.
It’s your village people that will lock your shop.
Jasper!
I have been looking for you.
I was looking for you too. Get inside, let’s go.
I have no idea what this guy is talking about.
[Sunny] Take me to any hospital that you know.
[Sunny] Jasper move! [in Pidgin]Just go, please.
[in Yoruba] Sorry. I know you’re in deep pain.
[in Pidgin] No, I am enjoying it.
[in Pidgin] Don’t be upset.
Sunny, you get angry easily.
[in Yoruba] Thank you God.
[in Pidgin] Since Sunny now has money,
my life has changed.
[in Pidgin] You know what Jasper? Just take me to any hospital you see.
This bleeding is too much. I don’t want to die and leave my money behind.
Why is this person honking this way?
[in Pidgin] Please, can you wait for me?
[in Pidgin] I won’t be long.
Excuse me!
Good morning Madam.
I have a package for Mrs Alexis Njoku.
Dr. Alexis Njoku?
Yes, you’re correct madam.
I’m sorry, my mistake.
It’s actually Dr. Alexis Njoku, thank you very much.
Well, that’s her house quite well but you’ve missed her.
She just relieved me off duty a few minutes ago, so, I think
it’s best you deliver the package at the office.
Thank you very much madam.
-You’re welcome. -Sorry, Doctor.
Do you have any records in this hospital?
Not this exact one.
But I have in the branch in Ogba.
But my medical records should be on the database.
Or you can just quickly do a medical check on me.
Because I need it for an interview I'm applying for today, please.
Okay.
I would check the patient’s database.
What did you say that your name is?
Angela Okoroji.
O-k-o-r-o-j-i.
Please have your seat, I will be with you shortly.
Please how long will it take?
-It won’t take long. -You don’t…
I need it urgently for a job interview I am going for today, please.
Madam it’s okay, just have your seat.
I need to go through our correspondence to make sure you’re here.
I will confirm.
Okay.
Good morning nurse.
Good morning.
Please, I have a package for Dr Alexis Njoku.
Okay, please give me minute sir.
Yes ma.
Dr Njoku, there is a man here he said he has a package for you.
Okay Doctor.
Dr Njoku is indisposed at the moment please.
Could you leave the package here for her?
I will ensure she receives it.
I would have done that.
But the sender actually requested that she received it in person
and her signature is also required.
In that case, you would have to sit here.
Just sit down there and wait for her.
I hope it won’t be for too long.
It won’t take long.
Okay.
Nurse, please time is going. You said--
Please be patient, there other patients who have been here!
Just wait! I will check your data and get back to you.
Help us! Help!
You should wait here.
It was a hit and run.
-[singing in Yoruba] -Mummy.
-[singing in Yoruba] -Kunle is not answering his phone.
-What? -Kunle is not answering his calls.
Kunle is not answering his calls.
[in Yoruba] Is he running mad? Is he mad?
Give me the phone.
What kind of nonsense is this now?
This boy is not picking.
Funke, what kind of man did you find for yourself?
This boy must have a very good explanation for all this.
Yes. Kunle.
Hello.
How are you? And where are you?
I’m at the hospital.
What?
What are you doing in the hospital?
Hospital?
It’s a long story ma, but I’ll soon be out and on my way.
We are very close to the court.
-[inaudible] -Yes, he is fine.
Okay. Kunle, send me the address of the hospital
because we are coming now.
No, there’s no need for that ma.
We’ll be out soon, we’re almost there ma please--
I know there is no problem.
I know. But still, I need the address of the hospital.
Give me the address send it to me.
Because I don’t want you to miss your way to the court.
[in Yoruba] Have you heard me? Send it now.
What’s the problem? What happened to him?
-Go into the car. -What?
Leave me alone please!
[in Yoruba] I will be back soon.
[indistinct chatter]
[in Igbo] No way.
-[in English] Please. -I have closed.
Please you have to help me.
If I miss this exam, I’m finished,
Please, it will mean an extra year.
-Please. -See.
Nurse Bisi. You know that I did two shifts.
I am very tired, I’m exhausted.
I want to go home and rest.
It’s not possible.
Look, if you do this for me, I’ll…
I’ll work two shifts.
[in Igbo] No! [in Pidgin] I am not a robot.
I am tired. I want to rest.
-Please, I beg you. -[in Pidgin] I am not a robot.
Please.
I beg you in the name of God.
Anything you want, I’ll give it to you.
Just tell me, just say it.
Whatever you want. I can’t miss this exam, please.
Ehe?
Anything?
-Anything. -Hey?
[in Igbo] Pay me then.
Chiamaka,
nurse to nurse, we always help each other.
Today it’s my turn, tomorrow I’ll help you.
We don’t pay money for these kind of things.
I am not the one schooling to be a doctor.
You’re the one schooling to be a doctor.
Very soon, you’ll become a doctor.
You’ll be earning big salary here.
You will now put your shoulder like this.
commanding Nurse Chiamaka to do this and that.
So, if you want to go for your exam,
you’ll pay me cash.
Okay, how much do you want?
Ten thousand.
Chiamaka!
Ten thousand?
Chiamaka!
You know how much they pay us in this hospital!
If I give you ten thousand for one shift,
what would I use for transportation? How would I come to work?
What will I use to feed?
[in Igbo] My sister, if you don’t want to pay, leave me. Let me go home.
I am not here to waste time, please.
Alright, wait.
I’ll give you five thousand, please.
Five thousand Naira.
Nurse Bisi, it's like you've forgotten me.
It’s Nurse Chiamaka.
[in Igbo] I’m like a rock, you can’t crack me.
If I tell you ten thousand, it’s ten thousand.
And I’m not shifting.
Okay, oya calm down.
I’ll give you…
Let me give you five thousand now.
All I have on me is six thousand Naira.
I’ll give you half and then, when they pay us our salary.
I’ll give you your balance. It’s only in four days time.
They’ll pay us and I’ll give you your balance.
Please.
I don’t want trouble.
I don't want trouble
and I don’t want disappointment.
I’m an Igbo woman.
And you know for us, business is business.
So, if they pay you your salary,
first things first, give me my portion.
[in Pidgin] Do you agree?
I agree.
-Good morning sir. -Good morning.
He’s… He needs to see the doctor.
Do you have a card with us sir?
My head…
It’s splitting.
Sorry, what is wrong with you sir?
-Mr. Omar! Mr. Omar! -What is it?
Mr. Omar!
-Hello sir! -Mr. Omar!
-Hello sir. What is his name? -Mr. Omar!
Omar. Get the stretcher!
-Mr. Omar! -Mr. Omar!
[in Pidgin] Hurry up and try this place.
I would’ve come with you but I don’t like seeing sick people.
Don’t be angry.
Am I sick? I only sustained an injury.
Don’t be angry. Sorry.
Hope you know this hospital is expensive?
Have you forgotten who I am?
Millionaire!
Let me turn this off.
It's not coming on.
You can see I’ve lost a lot of blood already.
I need malt and milk.
Nurse, like I said, I have no knowledge of his medical history.
I’ve only just picked him up from the airport.
I work for the company that invited him into the country.
What do you expect us to do?
We need more information on the man.
Maybe you need to go back to the company and find out.
Eh? Thank you.
Please excuse me, that other nurse, where's she?
She has gone on her off
but, she told me about you.
Don’t worry, I am working on it okay?
How long will it take?
Please, I have been waiting.
Don’t worry, someone will come and attend to you now.
I’m coming.
[in Pidgin] What kind of problem is this for God's sake?
Nurse,
I’ve been waiting for Dr. Njoku for over twenty minutes now.
Sir, I’m really sorry.
She’s still attending to a patient
but I’ll inform her that you’re still waiting.
-[quietly] Thank you. -You’re welcome.
Hello ma.
Yes ma.
Okay ma.
Sir, please sit.
-Please sit. -Thank you.
I’ll need you to run more tests.
I already did. Three times!
This… this can’t be.
If what you’re telling me is true, then…
I’m afraid we have a big problem on our hands.
What are we going to do ma’am?
The only thing we can right now.
Hello.
This is Dr. Njoku.
Please get security to lock the gates to the hospital immediately.
I’ve said this over and over again!
It was a hit and run!
We found the poor girl and we brought her here!
-Was it wrong? -Excuse me, why are you shouting?
Madam, it’s my wedding.
-Why are you shouting? -It’s my wedding!
-Are you… -You need to--
Are you the only one that is getting married?
Ma’am it’s my wedding!
It is my wedding! I have someone waiting for me,
-I have to go and get married! -Sir please!
-Sir please! -I have someone waiting for me outside.
Listen to me sir!
I am not the one that made the policy! You have to wait!
[in Igbo] Do you understand?
You have to wait and tell the police what happened.
Madam…
Sir, I’m sorry, you have to wait. Please.
Hello.
My name is Dr. Njoku from the New Calvary Hospital, Lekki.
Can I be connected with the NCDC Director please?
Yes, it is very urgent.
Yes, come in.
Doctor. You asked for me?
Yes Dr. Joe.
Can you please look at this blood work?
Yes, I am still holding.
-This must be a mistake. -Except it is not.
I have ordered security to lock down the hospital.
Please ensure that all exits are closed.
No one goes out and no one comes in.
I want this hospital on lockdown.
Yes ma’am.
Hello. Yes, I’m here.
Hello sir.
Sir, we have a situation on our hands.
Mr. Omar?
What’s going on?
I have to leave right away.
Oh no, you can’t leave Mr. Omar. [sighs heavily]
Your test results just came back.
And your blood work shows that you’re not in any condition
to leave the hospital right now.
How long?
It’s going to take a while.
I have a very important meeting
and I can't miss it for anything in the world.
I understand you have to go for your meeting,
but not right now. I'm very sorry.
You can’t leave the hospital in this…
I’m fine. [clears throat]
No, you’re not.
-We need to keep you in isolation… -I’m fine.
-No you’re not. -You can’t hold me here against my will.
-We’re not trying to hold you. -I know my rights.
-We’re not holding you against your will. -I know my rights.
Well, I’m sure you do.
No one is holding you against your will,
-you’re going through some treatments, -[coughs heavily]
and I’m sure with time you’ll be fine.
Then, you can join them at your meeting but not right now.
Mr. Omar, I’m going to need you please to lie down.
Look. I have a board…
an entire board
and a multinational cooperation waiting.
They are waiting right now and I must leave.
You’re not doing very well, you can’t even get far.
You know, on your own…
Mr. Omar, you need to listen to me.
Please listen to me.
Mr. Omar, please listen to me.
Oh no! No, you can't do that.
Mr Omar. Listen! Listen to me!
Oh my God.
Mr Omar!
Settle down.
Mr Omar!
Get out of my way!
Mr Omar, listen to me! Oh my God!
What are you doing? Mr Omar!
Mr Omar! Oh my God!
You cannot leave this hospital.
You cannot leave this hospital.
Listen to me!
Joseph help me. Mr Omar!
Joseph! Doctor Joseph!
Mr Omar, listen to me!
Settle down.
Settle down. Listen to me.
Oh my God!
Mr Omar!
Mr Omar please! Please listen to me!
Mr Omar!
No! Don't touch him.
Okay, you know what? I’ll stay here.
Alright? I’ll stay.
Go ahead.
[inaudible chatter]
What’s going on here?
The hospital is on lockdown.
No going out, no coming in.
-Are you serious? -Yes.
Are you serious?
What is going on?
Isn’t it a bit excessive for you to lock us in?
Because of a hit and run?
Was it wrong that we had to help that poor child?
[in Pidgin] Sir, I don’t know.
For him to do it, that means it's the instruction from the CMD.
Let me speak to your CMD.
[in Pidgin] Don't raise your voice at me!
-Hey. Open that door now. -Sir, it's an instruction…
Open this door right now!
[in Pidgin] Why did you lock the door?
[in Pidgin] I've paid my bill, open this door, I want to leave.
[in English] Open that door right now.
Sir, the hospital is on lockdown,
No going out, no coming in.
[Sunny] What does that mean?
[Kunle] What kind of rubbish is this?
Madam! Let me speak to your CMD!
Sir, I don't understand.
Why are you locking us? Are we prisoners?
Answer.
It’s an order from above.
Who’s above?
Excuse me, I'm just here for a delivery.
-I am not a patient. -I have an interview!
-I only came for a check up. -Open the door!
Open this door right now!
I have an interview!
Open this door!
Are you crazy?
Excuse me ladies and gentlemen.
Madam.
Good morning.
Well, I understand you’re all agitated right now
because you’re locked in the hospital.
I’m really sorry about that, but an emergency came up.
And that requires us to do so.
Sorry I have an interview.
Madam, listen, I have a wedding to attend to.
-I have an interview. -I'll be late for my court wedding.
[arguing]
Alright!
I understand.
I understand that we’re all very busy and we have places to go.
But right now, I’m sorry you can’t until it’s safe to do so.
This is a matter of life and death.
Go…
Right now, we’re carrying out an investigation.
And as soon as we have more information for you, we will let you know..
Two, three go!
Two, three go there!
Barricade the building! Someone, up on that building!
I have just called the Commissioner for Health for Lagos state.
Who has in turn called NCDC.
Right now,
this hospital is under lockdown.
Form a perimeter immediately!
Barricade that entrance immediately!
Sniper one! Up there.
Hey sir! Move!
-Sniper two! -On standby sir!
Up on that building.
Set up a tactical defense right over here, immediately!
Now everyone take your positions!
-Yes sir! -Yes sir!
Now, listen to me!
No one goes into the hospital and nobody comes out!
[all] Yes sir!
Anyone tries, bring them down!
[all] Yes sir!
[siren blasting]
Okay, your unit can go.
-Take your positions everyone. -[siren blasting]
Don't they just want to fumigate this place?
Welcome to New Calvary Hospital.
What is the situation report Doctor?
Well, we have successfully locked down the hospital.
Right now, we’re preparing isolation wards
for people we believe must have been exposed.
-Good job. -Thank you.
Good afternoon everyone.
I am Dr. Fred Kosoko.
Director, Nigerian Centre for Disease Control--
Okay.
-So, why are we locked here? -We know this situation is not ideal
but we’re doing our best possible at this hour
to make sure everyone is safe.
Centre for Disease Control…
Are we…
Are we exposed?
Well, we do not have sufficient data at this time.
Why can’t you just tell us?
-Why? -Why?
We are keeping you locked in here as a precautionary measure,
once we have sufficient data, we would personally update you.
[in Pidgin] Don’t be upset sir.
[in Pidgin] If I disagree, what would happen?
I won’t advise you take that option.
We have been given strict orders to keep this hospital contained by
every means necessary.
Just sit tight and bear with us.
-We will need a situation room. -Yes sir, please come.
[in Pidgin] What sort of problem is this?
[in Pidgin] I have important things to do.
Good afternoon gentlemen.
-Good afternoon madam. -Good afternoon.
What is going on?
The name is Kabiru Musa.
And so?
This hospital is under lockdown.
Nobody goes in and nobody comes out.
What? What…
-Lockdown? -Yes ma.
Why?
My son-in-law is inside the hospital.
This is my daughter.
He’s getting married today.
So please, release my son-in-law
and then continue with your lockdown.
I have nothing against the lockdown.
I’m sorry madam but that’s not possible.
Mummy, what’s he saying?
Am I speaking Greek?
What did I tell you that you don’t understand?
I said get my son-in-law out!
Then continue with your lockdown!
-It is not possible madam. -[hisses]
Madam, you cannot go in there.
What is going on here?
Kunle!
Don’t you dare touch her!
Don’t touch her with your filthy hands!
What are you doing?
-Madam, I advise you to leave. -How dare you!
-Kunle! -Kunle!
[in Yoruba] Save me. What is all this nonsense?
My God!
Follow me.
I'll remove this uniform.
I'll remove it.
What effrontery. [in Yoruba] Get into the car and let’s go!
I’m calling the Commissioner of Police!
[in Yoruba] You nuisance. Look at them!
All dressed in black.
[in English] Look at you! Just look at you!
Tell the Commissioner of Police that it’s Kabiru Musa.
DSP Kabiru Musa.
Let me go!
My wife is in there, I need to go and see her!
The hospital is under lockdown!
What lockdown? What lockdown?
We can’t allow you in.
My wife is in there, she’s in critical condition,
she’s pregnant. I need to go be in there with her!
We’re following orders!
Nobody is allowed to go in or out.
Can’t you understand what I’m saying?
Who can I speak to? Who’s in charge?
Tell me who can I speak to?
Who can I speak to?
[inaudible chatter]
[Kunle] Baby, listen.
Listen, I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry that I got myself entangled in this mess babe.
It’s not intentional.
Don’t tell me that Kunle. Don’t tell me that.
Your wedding day is supposed to be the most important day of your life.
And you’re out here playing superhero.
I know, but what would you have me do?
Abandon the poor child to die?
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry with all my heart, I am sorry.
I was supposed to get married to the most beautiful woman today.
But that’s not going to happen now, is it? [tuts]
Kunle. Kunle do you know the huge embarrassment
this will bring to my family?
We have guests that have flown in
from across the globe for my wedding.
All the planning we’ve done,
my friends have gotten their traditional attires. Everything!
Kunle!
Baby, it’s supposed to be our wedding.
Our wedding.
Kunle, my parents have spent a fortune.
A fortune to make my wedding day special.
How do you think I’ll feel when all these go to waste because…
Because you chose today Kunle, to play superhero.
Okay fine.
I didn’t want an elaborate wedding,
you did. You and your mum invited the whole world.
How is that my…
Kunle are you listening to yourself right now?
Are you listening to yourself?
Funke.
Babe, please I am so sorry.
I am so sorry.
Sorry?
Sorry about what?
Abandoning me here all night, just leaving me
to go through all this pain alone?
Babe, please can we talk about that later? Okay?
I just need to figure out how to get you out of here.
Please. I need you to stay safe okay?
-Stay safe [in Pidgin] please. -[in Pidgin] Listen my child.
[in Pidgin] My child, this isn’t a small issue.
The hospital is surrounded by policemen
If you see how angry they look.
They are so many here, one would think it’s the third world war.
[in Pidgin] Dad, I need to find a way to leave this place.
I don’t think it’ll be possible.
It must be possible.
All things are possible, we’ll find a way to make this one possible.
I don’t think it’ll be possible, we are looking up to God now.
They’ve locked us in.
What rubbish is this?
I have to look for a way to cut this chain.
Get out of here.
[Sunny in Pidgin] Someone should open this door, I want to leave.
We have run multiple tests.
It is confirmed.
The patient, Mr. Omar Samir
is a carrier of the Holo virus.
How many people did he come in contact with?
Myself and some nurses.
We’ll have to put you and the nurses in isolation.
Now, run a background check on him immediately!
We need to locate
everybody he may have come in contact with since he landed.
Get moving.
Oh no…
We need to update the President on this.
This is not good.
Excuse me sir! Sir!
Sir please, don't leave.
Please! The wedding will start now!
Sir! Please!
I promise you the wedding will start now!
Sir please!
Sir it will start now
Sir please!
Please don't leave!
Hello ma, the guests are beginning to leave.
We have 16 in-patients in the hospital.
-Hello. -[knock on the door]
We demand…
Can I call you back sir?
Thank you.
-Yes, what can I do for you? -We demand answers madam.
I don’t hear any questions.
Why can’t we leave, Doctor?
I said this to you earlier, it is not safe to do so.
As soon as it is safe to do so,
you will walk out of here freely.
That’s absolutely unacceptable madam!
[in Pidgin] What have you been doing since?
-[in Pidgin] I have to collect my money! -Doctor…
-Doctor Njoku. -Doctor Njoku, are you married?
Yes, I am.
Good, obviously.
Now, today is supposed to be my wedding day,
there’s a beautiful woman out there I’m supposed to wed.
And the reason why…
It’s my fault we’re here,
she’s not going to forgive me if I don’t make it to our wedding.
Please. Just let us go. Please.
I really empathize with you,
I would let you walk out of here
but it is beyond me.
It’s out of my hands. I am truly sorry.
Bullshit madam!
Excuse me?
Arrant nonsense.
You are the one who has us locked up here in the first place.
You gave the order.
You’re the same person who has the power to let us go!
Why are you here being bloody insensitive madam?
Insensitive? You think?
Yes.
Do you really think I am enjoying all of this?
You really think I want you
to be in here, locked up? This is a hospital, not a prison!
Now, for your sake,
for the sake of your fiancé.
For the sake of your father, your parents, her parents.
All the people you’re going to meet at that court.
For the sake of millions of Nigerians,
I have been tasked with the responsibility
of keeping you all in here and not allowing anyone to leave this building,
until the NCDC says it is safe to do so.
[in Pidgin] It’s a lie.
Wait, Doctor.
What are you…
What exactly are we up against here?
What are you saying? The NCDC says?
What’s happening here?
I am not at liberty to say.
Another bullshit madam!
[Sunny] Yes!
[in Pidgin] We’ll turn this place upside down!
We’ll destroy this place!
People have money to cash.
You are here speaking grammar.
Okay.
If you guys don’t comport yourselves, you would need to leave my office.
-[Sunny] Let’s leave the hospital. -Doctor…
Doctor please.
You’re asking us for a sacrifice
and we don’t even know what we’re up against. Can you just please…
Let us know what we’re up against.
What’s going on? What’s all this NCDC shit?
What’s happening? Please.
It's not fair.
Please.
Please.
If I tell you gentlemen what’s going on,
would you promise me
to keep this amongst yourselves? For now.
Tell us first.
[in Pidgin] Then we’ll know if we’re keeping it a secret.
Huh?
Enough!
Just calm down.
Don’t touch me man!
Calm down, how?
Calm down how?
You’re causing a scene, what’s wrong with you?
Oh really,
I’m causing a scene?
Guess whose wedding we’re going to miss today?
Your wedding!
Your own wedding!
Not to mention the potential life-changing meeting we had with our investors!
Or the fact that we’re all going to die here!
What are you talking about?
[in Pidgin] We are all here because of a deadly disease.
-Yes! Someone brought a disease here. -What type of disease?
A serious virus disease.
Listen, he is actually serious!
He is serious! There is a bloody virus here!
That’s the reason why we’re here!
Calm down, this is a hospital.
Sorry.
-Please. -You don't know there's a virus here.
Please, what are you talking about?
I’m saying
that there is a deadly virus
that we all might be infected with!
We are not infected, Sam!
That is why they kept us here,
to make sure we don’t have it so we don’t spread it!
-How do you know that? -I know that one thing is for sure,
your fear mongering is going to cause more problem than good!
Sam, remember what the Doctor said. This is only a precaution.
-Kunle! -Sam!
Kunle!
You’re the reason we’re in here!
-Oh my God. -Okay!
You’re the bloody reason we’re in here!
You just had to be a hero!
So, I should’ve left the child to die?
Leave her on the road and just let her to die?
Sam, there’s a reason why we did that!
Because with us, that child has a second shot at life!
She’s alive! Can’t you just think about that?
Now, we are all going to die! Are you happy?
Well, I'd rather take the odds.
-Oh? -Yes!
[in Pidgin] Oh, so you want to die?
Oh! So you want to die!
Guess what? I don’t want to die!
I want to leave here and meet my bloody investors!
And that is the reason we have to do what is right!
Because those investors will be there if we get there alive!
Alright? They’ll be there waiting for us!
What the fuck is wrong with you? Why do you always act like a child?
Shut up!
I don't want to leave here again!
-[nurse] This is a hospital. -Why?
Okay.
[nurse] Stop it!
-Stop it! -Bros!
Stop this nonsense!
Gentlemen!
What is going on here?
This is not a mad house.
Will you people comport yourselves and stop this nonsense right now!
Doc, If you know this not a mad house,
you better open this door. You know why?
This. This right here, is just the beginning.
Open this fucking door!
I will not, and that’s not happening!
[in Pidgin] You'd have to open before I start causing trouble!
-Calm down. -I don’t know what is happening
and I don’t care.
See! I was getting a job today.
I need to go! I need to leave!
Doctor, why won’t you let us out?
Let us go!
I can’t!
Because there are policemen out there
with orders to shoot anyone that attempts to leave this building!
That’s why!
[Sunny] They better shoot me.
-Everybody just calm down. -Please calm down.
Everything is going to be okay. Please, be patient.
We’re standing outside New Calvary Hospital,
where police officers have manned a barricade
preventing entry in or out of the hospital.
As yet we do not have any information.
At this moment, we have no information why this curfew
has been enforced.
And all efforts to speak with the Commanding Officer
have been proven abortive.
I have with me Mr. Tony Amokachi,
a worried husband who has been barred
from seeing his pregnant wife who is in labor,
Mr. Tony?
Early this morning, my wife was rushed to the hospital.
It seems she was suffering from complications with her pregnancy.
The Police wouldn’t let me in to see her.
Please, I’m begging.
My wife needs me beside her now.
Please.
Sharon Adewale reporting for NTV Africa.
Look Doctor,
I think we deserve to know what’s truly going on!
Yes, you do. Okay.
Well this morning around 10am,
a man was wheeled into this hospital.
By eleven, his blood work showed
that he is positive with Holo Virus.
Now the Holo Virus is a disease that when not treated effectively
millions will die.
So we’re like scapegoats?
No, you’re not.
You’re just unlucky.
You were at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Errr, Doctor
[in Pidgin] Doctor, how long till we can leave?
Isn’t there a test we can take to know if we’re infected or not?
Unfortunately, the time interval between infection
and the onset of symptoms is two to twenty one days.
I don’t get Doctor. What are you trying to say?
What I’m trying to say is that it takes twenty-one days
before the accurate prognosis of this virus can be inferred.
[in Pidgin] I don’t understand. Please do you mean twenty-one days revival?
We are all going to be quarantined for twenty-one days.
-that’s exactly what I’m saying. -Twenty--
As I speak right now, the isolation ward is being prepared.
When it’s ready, you’re all going to be moved into isolation.
[in Pidgin] She’s joking.
-Three weeks? -Yes, three weeks.
God Forbid!
[in pidgin] Doctor, you are joking.
Just like that, twenty one days.
Doctor. I can’t stay for three weeks.
I can’t stay for twenty one days
I have to go home to my wife.
There's nobody to care for her. I have to go home to my wife.
I empathize with you.
Sir, I am really sorry.
But this is the situation we all find ourselves in.
If there is someone out there that take care of your wife
I suggest you make that call now.
This is the right time to do that.
I have to take this call.
If there are any more questions, please see me in my office.
-Nurse Chiamaka. -Doctor.
[in Pidgin] It seems you are a comedian.
Come on. Open. Go ahead.
You need to eat something, even if it’s a little.
Look, I need to get to the office.
When I get the money I will buy you your drugs.
They will make you feel better. Okay?
It’s alright. Just hang in there.
Okay.
[kids banter in Yoruba]
Twenty-one what?
Listen, there is no way I am dying in this hospital.
It’s really tough.
[man] Just calm down, darling. Calm down.
Francis, it’s really tough telling the nation
that everything is going to be alright here.
I am just as scared as everyone else here.
I have to return home to my wife.
[in Pidgin] I need to cash out my money today.
I was exposed to this virus for crying out loud.
It’s okay to be scared.
I know you’re going to win this battle.
Listen we have to break out of this place.
What about the police?
The police would not be shooting at unarmed civilians.
How can you be so sure?
Because I know the woman I married.
She doesn’t give up on anything even if is it’s going to kill her.
I really needed to hear that.
If we're going to do this, we have to this together.
What about him?
He is just one man.
There is no way he can stop us all, can he?
If we’re going to this we are going to have to this together.
-Okay! -I am game.
Are you coming or not?
Are you coming?
[Sunny in Pidgin] If he's not coming, let’s leave him. Let’s go.
Hey, how's it going?
I need all the prayers I can get, Francis.
[screaming]
[guard] Hospital is on lockdown!
[guard] Hospital is on lockdown!
Hold him.
Listen… My wife is pregnant, she needs me here! Please.
[policeman] I understand!
[in Pidgin] My son is in there.
[indistinct chatter]
-My wife is in there, please. -[policeman] We will handle it.
[policeman] The hospital is under lock. Nobody can go in or out.
Calm down!
Sir, please.
[indistinct chatter]
[policeman] I understand, but you can not go in.
Nobody goes in there and nobody comes out.
[policeman] Don't!
Nobody goes in, nobody goes out.
Why are they coming out?
You cannot come!
[indistinct chatter]
Sunny!
Everybody!
[gunshot]
Everybody! Get down.
-Get down all of you! -[gunshot]
Now return inside.
Return inside, all of you. One by one.
Right now!
[in Pidgin] Sir, that's not possible.
We want to go home.
Yes.
I am warning you!
This is your last chance.
Return inside, every one of you.
This is your last chance.
I am warning you.
Every angle of this hospital is covered by my snipers.
One step forward and I'll open fire on you. Now return all of you.
[Sunny in Pidgin] He is babbling. They can't shoot us.
-[in Pidgin] People are watching. -[English] You can't kill us on live TV.
Guys, listen up!
These people are not playing.
Snipers.
This is a matter of national security.
I'm asking you peacefully, return inside or get shot.
I don't want to die.
[Sunny in Pidgin] They won't shoot us.
Especially because there's a a woman amongst us.
Just stay. Don’t go.
They will not shoot. Stay.
I am going to count to five! One!
Two!
Guys.
Coward.
[Funke] Kunle.
-Three! -I can’t!
[Sunny in Pidgin] It’s won't be possible!
Four!
Let’s go inside. They are serious.
I'm sorry.
[in Pidgin] You are not brave.
Sunny, go inside.
Go inside before they kill you.
[in Pidgin] Dad, go inside for what?
I need to cash out this ten million.
My mother left you for the landlord due to poverty.
This ten million Naira is going to change life.
I must get this money today!
If he moves an inch, take him.
[in Pidgin] Dad, let them shoot me.
Shoot me.
You want to shoot me right? Shoot me.
-I'm warning you to return in. -[in Pidgin] Leave me alone.
-Sniper one, are you with me? -Yes, sir.
-One step, take him down. --Roger that, sir.
[in Pidgin] You want to shoot me right? Go ahead.
What are you doing?
Would go inside now before this people shoot you!
They are going to shoot you!
[in Pidgin] Doctor go away please. You don't understand.
What is wrong with you?
Do you want to die today!
Do you want to die today?
Because these people are going to shoot you.
-[in Pidgin] Shoot me. You can, right? -Are you deaf or blind?
These people are going to kill you.
Of what use is it if you die here?
How are you going to get your money?
[in Pidgin] Let them shoot me!
[in Pidgin] I'd rather die than lose this ten million Naira.
Do you not have any family member who can cash this money for you?
[in Pidgin] I did it with my I.D card.
And I have to appear in person to claim the money.
But right now, you can't. You can't.
Okay. What if I help you after this whole situation to get your money?
[in Pidgin] Please, you’re saying nonsense.
Think about the people that you're going to leave behind.
[policeman] Sniper, are you standing by?
-If he crosses the yellow line… -Please, don’t do anything.
…take him down.
Please don’t do anything!
[policeman] Now return!
[in Pidgin] That's impossible.
-I am warning you! -[Doctor] Okay!
Now return inside!
These people are going to kill you.
Think about someone who's important to you,
that’s going to be left behind after you’re gone.
Is it worth it?
Okay!
Officer, were you really going to order your men to shoot him?
To kill him!
Would you prefer he goes out there
and infect millions of people?
There are so many other ways to handle this
than violently taking lives, officer.
So many other ways.
Doctor, I have my orders.
You take care of your flocks inside there
and I shall take care of mine here.
I will!
But please take it down. You are escalating things.
Now everybody… I want everybody out of this place. Out!
Out! Everybody.
Stop crying.
I hope is not what Mama Enny thinks?
Not yet.
But what do I do?
She keeps asking me of your whereabouts.
[Angie] I told you already.
Tell her I got the job and went for training immediately.
Amaka, you know mama’s condition.
This kind of news would kill her.
Moremi, please help her explain correctly to mama please.
Don’t worry Angie.
I will handle things with mama.
Just make you stay safe in there.
Sister, they said in the news that the virus is very deadly.
And it has no cure.
I know.
But don't worry, I believe in God and he will see me through.
Amen.
Ladies and Gentlemen at this point to be it’s extremely unfair for us to continue
to keep you in the dark,
regarding the dire situation that we found ourselves in presently.
About seven a.m. today
a Libyan national arrived
in Muritala Muhahmed International airport from Tripoli.
Three hours later he walked into the new calvary hospital
because he thought he had fever.
but we have confirmed reliably that he was infected by the
highly deadly holo virus.
Now officials of the NCDC are currently
carrying out contact tracing
to determine everyone who may have come in contact with him
in the last few hours.
Millions of people will die
If this virus is not quickly contained
because it’s deadly and has no cure.
That’s why some of the measures we have taken
to contain this virus may appear a bit excessive.
But we’re doing so for the greater good of all.
May I also inform you that
all flights in and out of Tripoli
are currently grounded.
And all those trapped in the new calvary hospital
may remain there and will only be able to rejoin their families
after undergoing the mandatory twenty-one days quarantine.
Sorry.
I beseech you all to kindly co-operate with the authorities.
Together we will win this fight.
Nigeria has just confirmed its first case of holo virus.
The holo virus is regarded as
one of the deadliest viruses in history.
It is transmitted from person to person
when the mucus membrane of an infected person
comes in contact with bodily fluids.
The disease has a mortality rate
of twenty-two to eighty-eight percent.
Already it has affected countries such as Guinea.
Sierra Leone, Morocco.
-Liberia. -And Libya.
We have been confronted with a situation
that quite frankly we're not prepared for.
And as difficult as that sounds,
it is now on us to contain this virus
for the sake of the entire nation.
We must be vigilant.
We must carry out all our duties diligently.
We cannot fail.
The lives of over two hundred million Nigerians
depend on every little
detail and decision
we take from here on out.
Please come in.
I brought you the package I was sent to deliver to you.
It's from my husband.
Today’s our fifteen years anniversary.
Congratulations.
I am really sorry about your wife.
I’ll do anything within my power to help out from here.
What was she diagnosed with?
Lung cancer.
Stage four.
I’m sorry.
Don’t be.
My wife and I have accepted our situation.
But my new situation is something I find very hard to accept.
Just one delivery that could have been avoided.
And I'm going to miss my wife’s last days.
Her last moment.
Her last breath.
The world has been very unkind to us.
I’m truly sorry.
If there's anything else I can help you with.
Yes.
Look, allow me go home to my wife.
Or have her brought over so I can take care of her in here.
[sighs]
I wish I could.
I am sorry.
I really wish I could.
But this hospital is on full lockdown.
No one comes in or exits this premises.
It's official guys, we’re bloody inmates!
Because this is a fucking asylum.
[sneezes]
Yo! Are you okay?
Allergies.
-The beds aren’t even comfortable! -[Angie sneezes]
[Angie] Yeah, I'm good.
[in Pidgin] Hello, dad.
Dad it's…
[in Pidgin] What kind of problem is this?
What kind of bad luck is following our family?
What sort village masquerade is manifesting?
The first billionaire to come out of our family.
An upcoming billionaire and all these problems are coming up.
I can’t collect my money.
[in Pidgin] My son calm down.
The God that made you win that money
will make you collect it. You hear?
Dad, I will find a way to escape.
I will find any way to get out of here because I can't lose my money.
Never. Over my dead body!
Do you have a card with us sir?
-My head. -Sorry. What’s wrong with you, sir?
Chiamaka, I was just about to call you.
I just saw the news.
-What’s going at the hospital? -[in Pidgin] You gave her blood money.
You gave her blood money. See what you did to me.
What are you talking about?
Nurse Bisi, you see what you have done to me.
You’re in your house and I am here because of ten thousand.
Because of ten thousand,
Nurse Bisi you see what you've have done to me.
Somebody!
Please try and eat something.
I will try to find someone to get your drugs across to you.
Okay?
Babe listen, I have explained to you over fifty thousand times.
What happened there is not my fault. It’s not my fault.
[Funke] Kunle, I don’t care how you do it.
Just make sure you’re at the church on Saturday for our wedding.
Babe how… I’m trapped in here.
There’s no way they're going to let me out. I’m here.
-How’s that possible? -I said i don’t care how you do it.
Just find your way to church.
-Baby, listen, can you-- -[disconnecting tone]
Hello! Funke!
You couldn’t sleep?
Yeah.
What’s keeping you up?
Woman trouble.
I was supposed to get married yesterday
then somehow I found myself here
now she blames me for everything.
For ruining her wedding and she won’t even listen to a voice of reason!
I mean, come on…
you know how we women don’t joke about our wedding.
Maybe just give her some time.
I’m sure she will come around.
I hope so.
So what about you?
What about me?
Why are you still up?
My guess…
I'm still overwhelmed.
Overwhelmed about what?
Our situation.
When I… When I left my house yesterday
in search of a job
the last thing I expected was to end up a prisoner
by the end of the day.
Hey! We’re not prisoners. Alright?
We will get out of here alive.
All of us. Together.
Safely.
The mere thought that all of my dreams and aspirations
could be cut short.
Just like that.
I mean I've definitely lost that job.
Now I may never see my family again.
Let alone… fall in love, get married, have kids.
Have a freaking life.
That is not going to happen.
Alright?
Come on, the virus might not even be
as contagious as they make it seem.
We’re still alive, aren't we?
I see you’re an optimist.
My dad used to tell me something growing up as a kid.
He would say, if you ever feel lost
or you think you're lost. You are not actually lost.
You are where you're meant to be.
So…
So you’re saying that we’re all meant to be locked up here.
Well on a second thought he drank a lot so maybe it's just
the alcohol that’s talking.
So that’s fine. Ignore me.
You know…
It can just be all crap.
[in Pidgin] Hello Jasper. What's up?
[in Pidgin] Sunny, I have been calling you but your phone has been off.
I just put on my phone.
Did you go to their office?
I went there.
What then happened?
Did they are agree to help me extend the date?
They said you'll lose your money after five days.
You better figure out how to get away from that place.
Ah. [tuts]
I am really trying, I am trying.
I’m tired of this situation.
Your village people are very powerful.
Don't you know?
Should I come there with some boys to make trouble?
My mum is sick.
And I’m afraid that
if she finds about my situation…
It may kill her.
You mean to tell me your mum doesn’t know you're here?
Good Morning.
Hello Doctor. Good morning.
How are you feeling?
A bit tired.
It's to be expected.
But not to worry. Everything will be alright.
So I have the results of your scan.
It appears you have what we call cervical insufficiency.
It’s quite a rare condition.
What does that mean?
Well…
A normal cervix before pregnancy is usually closed and firm
as pregnancy progresses it softens and opens up.
Your cervix I’m afraid has been fully dilated
and as such cannot accommodate your pregnancy.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that
you’re going to have to give birth before your due date
or risk losing this pregnancy.
[indistinct chatter]
I want all of you to return to your homes right away.
[in Pidgin] They are here.
[in Pidgin] My guys are livid.
That's their voice.
[in Yoruba] My boys.
Why are you always jumping around like a kangaroo?
[in Yoruba] Sir! [in Pidgin] I'll be out of here soon.
I am warning you for the last time. Go home!
[in Pidgin] They are vey close.
They'll scatter the whole place and set us free.
They’ll even set you free.
Your freedom is coming, just be happy.
If you don’t return to your homes
we may have to use force to repel all of you.
-[indistinct chatter] -So the police will allow to just… walk?
Police?
[in Pidgin] It seems you don’t know Jakande boys.
Boys that eat bullet.
Boys that use acid to brush their teeth
and they drink petrol.
They'll stab anybody.
It seems you don’t know them.
[indistinct chatter]
I am going to tell you for the last time
return to your homes right away.
[man screaming in pain]
[in Pidgin] My man, what's up?
I said It didn’t work.
On getting there the police released tear gas.
-[in Pidgin] Everybody ran away. -How come?
The same Jakande boys that eat bottle and swallow acid?
This is different.
It seemed the police knew we were coming.
Because they released the tear gas immediately we got there.
That means I'm in trouble.
What kind of problem is this?
Find a way to get out of that place.
If not, your money is gone.
Are you crazy?
Sir, don’t shout here!
[in Yoruba] Take it easy, what is wrong with you?
[in English] Calm down.
[in Pidgin] Did I ask you to get injured?
Can I see your boss please?
Good morning Doctor.
Nurse Samantha. Have you seen Dr. John?
No, I haven’t seen him anywhere.
Should I look for him?
-No, that’s okay. You can be on your way. -Okay ma.
[coughs]
[in Pidgin] Please serve the boss first.
[in English] And put a lot of chicken.
Thank you very much.
God!
I promise if you can just get me out of this alive…
If I can just come out alive.
I will never ever womanise again. Never.
I would not look at another woman except my wife.
Father please.
Save me, Lord. Save me!
Why is it difficult for you to understand?
Sir, look at me.
What you see is what you get.
I am ready to pay any price.
Just say it. It is done.
Well, madam let me formally
explain exactly what’s going on here.
-Okay. -So you can understand it better.
Alright.
Should a single soul leave this hospital
and go into the society.
That singular soul is capable of infecting millions of people.
-Which will result to millions of deaths. -[laughs]
I know what you’re talking about.
But my Kunle is not like that.
I promise you. Just release him.
Everything is fine. [laughs nervously]
Should your Kunle go into society,
it will result in millions of deaths.
Automatically, madam your request is denied.
[in Yoruba] Sir, please. Please.
Let me tell you something madam.
If not for the cooler of rice you offered us,
by now I should put you under arrest.
for trying to bribe an officer of the law.
who is trying his best to protect the whole country.
-Just like that? -Just like that.
I want you to do me a favour. Go home.
[in Yoruba] I'm dead.
[in English] What is going to happen to everybody that flew in
from America, Japan, Afghanistan, Kenya, Angola--
Madam please, do me a favour and go home.
What’s going to happen to…
My life… the asoebi that I sold to everybody?
What’s going to happen to the pastor, the guests!
[in Yoruba] I'm doomed. What am I supposed to do?
[in English] Sir, what do want me to do? I am going to do it.
I beg of you, look at me!
What I want you to do is to go home and wait.
[in Yoruba] Wait
[in Yoruba] I'll leave. Take it easy.
[in Yoruba] I am in trouble. [in English] What is this?
What a life! What is this?
Why is it so difficult for her to understand?
[mutters under breath]
Mummy, why is your face like this?
What did he say?
The man didn’t bite.
Mummy.
What are we going to do now?
I don’t know.
I’ve done everything.
In fact, I don’t know what to do again.
Mummy.
-Funke. -Yes mummy.
Adefunke, look at me.
The wedding is off.
Mummy!
Mummy!
Mummy!
Are you scheduled
-for any appointment today? -Yes, actually I have an appointment.
He’s waiting for me right now.
-Is he actually excepting you ma? -Yes, he his
-He knows I am coming -But he didn’t inform me
-He knows I am coming. -that you’re coming.
-He knows! -Ma, please you just can’t go in.
What are you doing here?
Well you haven’t been picking my calls for days, I miss you.
You miss…
This my matrimonial home, you don’t get to come here.
What would you have me do? You refused to pick my calls.
Jade, move on. Okay?
I am focusing on my marriage.
Now if you excuse me I have child to go give birth to.
Okay.
I understand. It’s fine.
Ma, please.
Okay, so how long should I wait?
Don’t wait! Find somebody else!
[car honks]
[Kunle] I already said I am sorry, Funke.
But I already said I am sorry.
I said I’m sorry, Funke what do you want from me?
-What do… --It’s over Kunle.
-What? -The wedding of course.
We’ve sent out a notice that it's been cancelled.
Okay, babe listen.
All hope is not lost.
I’m going to get out of this.
I would come home, we can set another date and get married.
I don’t see that happening either.
You might have been infected with the virus.
Who knows if you ever come out of that place alive.
Funke!
Is that your wish for me?
For me to die here?
Not really, but nobody knows what’s going to happen, so…
I wish you all the best Kunle, really.
Funke, are breaking up with me?
-Funke? --Goodbye Kunle.
-Funke wait. Hello. -[disconnecting tone]
-Funke wait… --Kunle stop calling me!
Hey.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm…
Are you sure?
Yeah. I’m fine.
I’m sorry about… everything.
I didn't mean to pry.
But I’m pretty we all heard your conversation.
I really thought she was the one.
I know.
You seem like you really love her.
It doesn’t matter anymore. It's alright.
I still believe you did the right thing
saving that child’s life.
You’re good person.
Mr Amokachi, you will be allowed to accompany your wife to the theatre
After that you will only be granted a 30-minute supervised visitation
every three days.
Please, do not at any time take off your protective suit.
You are going to be fine, Mrs Amokachi.
Just remember to breathe honey.
Babe, I'm here.
I'm right here. I'm right here beside you.
You'll be fine.
Sorry.
Is there anything you need?
Would you like to eat something? Are you hungry?
I can go get…
Babe.
Babe, please say something.
Whatever it is that you need, I…
I need you to leave, Tony.
And never come back.
No, I can't do that.
-I can't leave you. -I need you to leave.
I'm not going to leave you and the baby when you need me the most.
I need you to leave.
Tony. Where were you when I needed you the most?
Baby, I was at work and I slept off.
You were with another woman.
I know about everything, Tony.
I know about the late nights.
The business trips.
With… What's her name?
Jane or Jade. Yes.
I know about her.
So you can go and be with her.
Okay?
We will be fine.
[Tony] Are you sure?
I'm not even going to try to deny it.
I'm not going to try to deny.
I just want you to know that whatever it was it's over.
It's so easy for you to say that now.
Why wasn't I enough for you?
You are enough.
Babe, you are more than enough.
-I was never enough for you. -You are more than enough.
I promise you, I'm done. It's over.
It's too late right now.
Please, just go and be with your side chic
or whatever her name is.
Please Tony [crying]
I promise…
I promise, I'll be a better husband
and a good father to our daughter. I swear.
I could never trust you again.
I trusted you with everything.
How could I trust you?
-Tony, please just go. -Baby…
Just go please.
Please.
Take heart.
What are you doing?
Are you crazy?
Put that back on, you could get infected.
I'm not going anywhere.
[inaudible]
To make sure if I die
atleast I die beside you.
I swear, this isn't ever going to happen again.
I'll never ever betray you again. I swear.
I'm sorry.
Guy…
[in Pidgin] What is wrong with you? Are you sure you're okay?
[in Pidgin] I am tired of staying here.
[in Pidgin] We are here all day.
If you are not tired, I am.
[in Pidgin] Mister, pick up a book to read or something.
[in Pidgin] What is all this?
[in Pidgin] Do you think a book is my problem? Please, get out.
[in English] Young man, relax.
You know there's nothing we can do about it, so just relax.
[in Pidgin] Tomorrow is the last day for me to cash my money.
Cash out?
[in Pidgin] You all didn't hear me saying I have some money to cash.
[in English] Ten million Naira to cash out!
[in Pidgin] Are you for real or are you joking?
[in Pidgin] Why will I joke about ten million Naira?
You are referring to ten million Naira as a joke. [hisses]
[in Pidgin] It's like…
That is the winning ticket.
Can you see it?
Wow!
Does this look like a joke to you?
Is this a joke?
This money is supposed to change my life.
I should have cashed this money to change my life.
Money stops nonsense.
Calm down.
[in Pidgin] Everyone here has lost something important.
[in Pidgin] Please. Excuse me.
Is there anyone here who lost ten million?
If you know you lost ten million raise your hand.
[in English] I lost a woman that was meant to be my bride. How about that?
[in Pidgin] What is he saying?
I'm talking about ten million, you are talking about a bride.
Look at you babbling about a bride
compared to ten million Naira.
Won't that ten million buy you five brides?
Including bridesmaids.
Please, I'm going outside for air.
Air?
Didn't you hear that we shouldn't go outside?
I want to stretch my leg.
[in Pidgin] I have [in Yoruba] partial paralysis.
Mr. Amokachi?
-Hello doctor. -Hello!
I'm on my way to see the baby in the intensive care nursery.
Okay. Why are you out of your suit?
I've decided to stay here with my wife and my child.
That's very dangerous.
Do you understand the implication of this?
It means you're going to be quarantined here in this hospital
for twenty-one days.
You cannot go out.
I'm aware.
[sighs]
Doctor, I've not been a very good husband.
And now more than ever, my wife really needs me.
This…
This may be my last chance at redemption.
Wow!
Where did you dispose off the suit?
In the other wing. The maternity ward.
Can you take me to it?
Okay.
You did not call a nurse? You didn't hand over to a nurse.
No, I just put it right…
I left it right here.
It's gone.
I guess someone took it.
Where is Sunny?
He said he wanted to stretch his legs.
Oh my God!
[snoring]
Yeah. Hello. I hear you doctor.
Hey. Stop right there.
Stop right there!
Sunny.
Now turn around and walk back to where you're coming from.
I repeat. Turn around
and walk back to where you're coming from.
-Sniper one, do you have him? --Yes sir.
If he moves, take him down.
Copy that, sir.
I'm warning you.
If he takes a step, put him down.
Turn around!
I’m warning you.
Turn around!
Bring him down.
[gunshot]
Sunny!
Target down.
You wouldn't listen. Would you?
[in Pidgin] Boss, they've killed Sunny!
[in Yoruba] They've killed Sunny!
[in Yoruba] Daddy Sunny! They've killed Sunny!
[in Pidgin] They've killed Sunny!
[indistinct chatter]
[in Pidgin] Daddy Sunny!
[man in Pidgin] Where are they?
[in Pidgin] Where’s my son?
[in Pidgin] Where’s Sunny?
-Idiot! -Sir, I will advise you to go home.
[in English] Do not risk your life.
And I’m asking all of you to return to your individual homes.
Do not approach this barricade.
If you approach the barricade, you will be shot at.
[in Pidgin] Where’s my child?
I'm talking to you.
You are all advised to return to your individual homes.
[in Pidgin] Don't advise us!
[in English] You will not like the consequences of what will happen.
[in Pidgin] You won’t like ours at all.
[in Pidgin] Where's my child?
-You will not like the consequences. -[in Pidgin] I don’t want to like it.
Return to your homes.
[in Pidgin] Are you messing with me? Nothing will happen.
[tout in Pidgin] Go in!
[gunshot]
[tout in Pidgin] Sunny's dad put us in this mess.
[in Pidgin] They are taking me to Ikoyi prison.
[tout in Pidgin] Sunny's father has killed me.
I’m just 16 years old.
["Beautiful People "by Chike playing]
[song ends]
Today is day twenty-one of the quarantine.
The NCDC doctors have arrived to run a final test
test on the people stuck in the hospital.
For some, today will be a day of celebration.
For others, it will be a day of sadness.
We’ll bring you more information as events unfold.
My name is Sharon Adewale, reporting for NTV Africa.
We ran your blood samples
and the results came out negative.
-[all] Yes! -Congratulations!
All but one.
Where did Mr. Matthew Ochi go?
He stepped out a few hours ago.
We haven’t seen him since then.
He's in here.
Mr. Oche
Why did you leave the other members of the group?
[Mr Oche] Are we free to go?
I’m afraid we have some bad news for you.
Your test result just came out and it’s positive.
And I’m baffled because the other results have been negative.
Except this last one.
I guess I get to meet my wife earlier than I planned to.
So for me, it’s good news.
No, hang in there sir.
A cure is coming in from Europe.
And we hope it gets here fast so we can save many lives.
I don’t want it.
Well sir, it’s our responsibility to save your life sir.
-Seal the ward. -Okay sir.
Hey.
-Hi-five. -Hug me. What’s wrong with you? Come here.
This is what you feel like.
I need to call my sister.
So, I guess we made it.
Yes, we did.
[Kunle clears his throat]
Still friends?
You know I need you as my best man, right?
You do?
After I find myself a new bride first.
Yes, right. That won’t take too long.
Especially since you guys found love in a dark place.
What’s wrong with you?
Anyway, one more thing.
-The investors called. -What did they say?
Just tell me. We lost it, right?
-[screams] We got it! -We got it!
We did bro. We did!
We got the money.
Oh my God. Why didn’t you tell me?
Well, I thought maybe the virus would kill you.
Then I'll take all the money.
Oh, that’s your plan right?
How are you going to develop it without me?
Surprise.
That’s amazing!
Your result came out positive for the virus.
Huh?
Your result came out positive for the virus.
No, that’s not possible.
-You have to come with us now. -No!
[Kunle] Angela!
Hi.
Hi.
I just wanted to…
Wish you all the best.
Thank you.
Mama, look.
She’s coming.
I’m fine, thank you.
[in Pidgin] You thought I'd believe that cock and bull story about traveling?
Mama I’m sorry.
I’m so sorry, forgive me.
[in English] Don’t worry my daughter, thank God you’re alive and well.
Madam! What are you doing here?
They gave me permission to be here today. And guess what?
They told me to tell you that your position is still vacant.
It’s a lie!
It's for real!
I’m so happy.
-Good afternoon mama. -[in Pidgin] My child.
It’s a pleasure to finally meet you.
My son.
You must be the beautiful Amaka.
It’s a pleasure to meet you too. I’ve heard so much about you.
And this is Moremi, my friend.
Oh, how are you?
I’m good. Cool name.
[Moremi] It's a pleasure.
How are you feeling mama?
[quietly] I’m fine.
-Angela. -Yes?
I can take care of mama’s
surgery financially.
[Kunle] It’s okay.
[Kunle] I'll take care of it.
[Angela] Thank you. Thank you so much.
[Kunle] It’s okay.
-[Kunle] Mama, it's okay. -[Angie] Mama, don't cry.
Mama, don't cry.
[Kunle] You have a wonderful daughter, mama.
You have a wonderful daughter.
Temi!
Oh my baby! My baby!
Temi, Thank you Lord.
This man was wailing.
-I was wailing. -He was wailing.
-She's a softie -[Angie] Thank you.
Hi.
Thank you so much for taking care of my daughter.
Oh my God, how is she doing?
She's alright.
Thank you so much, how are you doing?
[Kunle] It's a pleasure. As long as she's safe.
Please be careful next time.
What was it like being in there?
I can’t describe it but I’m happy to be out. Thank you.
[jubilation]
[indistinct chatter]
I missed you.
Hey.
Chief, how are you doing?
It's good to see you.
I really apologise, let’s talk outside.
[in Pidgin] You can't deceive me. Give me Sunny, so I can bury him.
[in Pidgin] Daddy, look at Sunny!
Sunny!
-[in Pidgin] You’re alive. -[in Pidgin] I thought you were dead.
[singing] Jesus, I thank you!
[in Pidgin] You are good to me and I love you.
[in Pidgin] I will love you forever, you are God!
[exclaims in Igbo]
[in Pidgin] Daddy…
-[in Pidgin] Don’t be angry. -[in Pidgin]Do you want to choke me?
[in Pidgin] I'm just happy.
[in Pidgin] Daddy, I just want to tell you that…
[in Pidgin] I’m sorry for disappointing you.
[in Pidgin] Disappoint who? You didn’t disappoint me, my child.
[in Pidgin] As long as you’re alive, you didn’t disappoint me.
If I had gone to collect that money,
it would’ve changed our lives.
Now, we’re going back to poverty.
With the likes of Jasper.
Sunny, don’t insult me.
Shut up. Forget the money!
What do you need money for?
Can ten million Naira replace you?
Even if it’s a hundred million Naira, it cannot replace my child.
-What are you saying? -Are you sure, daddy?
I’m sure.
-What about twenty billion? -Twenty billion…
-[Sunny] Can you see? -It can’t replace you.
You're still my child. What will I do with twenty billion?
[Sunny] Where's your tricycle?
Go and turn.
Let’s be on our way.
Hi.
-You must be Mr. Sunny, right? -Yes, Sunday.
[in Pidgin] My name is Sunday.
My name is Sunny.
-Yes, Sunny. -We call him Sunny.
Mr. Sunny, my name is Peter.
I’m the CEO of Zoom Lottery Show.
I watch your show.
Thank you sir.
I’m here to see you.
You don’t need to see me. I’ve lost the money.
Take the money. There's no problem.
I've lost it.
Mr. Sunny, I’m afraid to tell you this.
We followed your story and I must say it’s a remarkable one.
We’re happy you’re alive.
And I must tell you that you deserve the money.
Give him then.
So, my company and myself
have decided to break the rules, just once.
So what that means is that…
I hereby present you the cash prize of ten million naira.
[in Pidgin] Boss, stop lying.
[Sunny in Pidgin] Why are you teasing me?
Sunny, that’s your name on the board.
[Jasper] Daddy, look at Sunny’s money.
[Jasper screams] Sunny!
[in Pidgin] But this is just wood, where’s the real money?
[in English] From our company, Zoom Lifestyle.
As soon as you get your cheque, I’ll do the transfer right away.
-Immediately. -I'm on it.
He said he will do it.
Is this your account number?
Yes. I wrote it down.
[in Pidgin] Can’t you see Sunny there?
Sent.
[happy screaming]
[jubilation and shouting]
[in Pidgin] This is my son.
[in Pidgin] He is my childhood friend.
Thank you!
[in Pidgin] Daddy, am I dreaming?
[in Pidgin] Daddy, don’t wake me up!
-[in Pidgin] God thank you! -Let’s take a picture.
[in English] Let’s take pictures.
[cheering]
[Sunny in Pidgin] Is it your money?
I am a millionaire!
You beat it. You are negative.
Yes, you beat it.
You are negative.
Congratulations.
