-Okay, one more.

-Really?

Knock, knock!

Who's there?

Pep.

Pep who?

Pepper them!

Yo Yo, pepper them o

Pepper them!

Yo Yo, pepper them o

Pepper them, yoyoyo

Pepper them!

Pepper them!

Okay, last one

Eat the damn soup and stop fooling around!

Are you going to force me?

No, no! I won't force you. Right?

But I will not sit here

and watch you disrespect me.

So, open your mouth and eat the soup

that I made for you.

What? What Yo? What?

I don't want to die!

I honestly don't want to die!

I've told you I don't want to die!

You will not die, Yo. Relax.

You keep telling me

relax, calm down, chill.

I told you this girl is crazy! She's mad!

I tried and she's not budging.

Yo, we have not run out of options.

I assure you. This will be sorted out.

How?

We'll talk to her sister.

Look, nobody understands

the implications better than Nkem.

Did you not hear

what I told you on the phone?

I already spoke to Nkem!

Then, you will speak with her again.

Okay?

Relax man.

Stop telling me to re

Okay.

You already know what the answer is

to whatever it is that you want to ask me.

IJ can make a million babies

with a million other men

but she will not have this baby,

and you have to help me.

I don't know if you understand

my family dynamics, Yo.

But I will literally sound like

a mad person suggesting this to my sister.

Then, sound like a mad person.

If I have to be the fall guy,

make me the fall guy.

Say horrible things about me.

Scandalize me.

Bastardize me.

Tell her I am terminally ill.

Tell her all the children

I've had before have died.

Tell her I'm from a cursed family.

But ensure that you help me.

Afterall, you're my sister now. Right?

Oh, I wouldn't bother, if I were you.

Rules are rules.

The only rules a man

should be allowed to break

are the ones that can't break him.

Strike the shepherd

and the sheep will scatter.

I already told you I can't find her.

I've been looking for her since yesterday.

That is not the shepherd.

Take. Rub this on your palms

and hold her hands tight.

Till she sleeps.

Hold her tightly till she sleeps.

Hold her tightly till she sleeps.

Hold her tightly till she sleeps.

Hold her tightly till she sleeps.

The trees are falling

I hear it rising and

Yo?

Is it that you?

Ah! You startled me.

I haven't flinched in decades.

Well Don't just stand there!

Come on in.

Yeah I didn't even

Strike the shepherd.

Yo, is something wrong?

What

What did I

Why so

Is something

Did something happen?

Did I

Is there something you

Is there something we need to talk about?

Or do?

I'm lonely.

Please take my hands.

You can take

take my hand.

When did you join a cultural troupe?

The waist beads that you have on.

What's that for?

Dancing?

I didn't know

that you actually joined a theatre.

You're so ungrateful.

Do you remember

what I told you about rules?

Do you?

Why are you squeezing my hands?

Do you want to know?

I'll show you.

Close your eyes.

Close your eyes!

I don't interfere

with the relations of men.

Because mankind is so shallow in its ways.

Don't you ever,

ever try what you just did again!

Leave!

Leave!

You can see beyond.

You can see outside this room.

Can't you see it's not my fault?

Can't you see I'm not okay?

Can't you see I'm confused,

I have no answers?

I didn't break your rules,

it's your rules that are breaking me!

She was already pregnant

before I joined the family.

Can't you see? Please, help me.

Please ma.

Help me.

She was pregnant before I

She was pregnant

Please, help me!

Please!

You're the example

that I just made of mankind.

I won't help you

but I'll show you.

Your choice. Hold my hands.

It's a choice this time!

Take my hands!

I don't want anybody to die.

Close your eyes.

What do you see?

I see I see

I see Chief Obi.

I see Ajazi.

I see Mrs. Obi.

The Doctor is talking to Chief Obi.

The Doctor is smiling.

The Doctor is smiling.

See!

Mrs. Obi is celebrating.

See!

She's acting like she's rocking a baby.

I want you to see but you're not seeing!

I want you to see.

See!

I see

I see

I see my hand. No! No! No! No!

No! No!

I don't want to die!

Was it my fault?

That baby has to die!

I can't die!

No! No!

-It's late, Yo.

-Where is she?

Where's who?

What do you mean where's who?

Where is she?

You know who I'm talking about!

Don't get me started now!

Please, tell me where she is!

I just want to talk!

Like this?

Ikoyi.

Look, Yo! Listen to me and listen good.

Okay?

I am only doing this

because I brought you in.

So after this, don't cry to me anymore.

Okay?

This is really none of my business.

Okay?

This is all on you.

Besides, I've impregnated girls too

and I managed to terminate the babies.

Not once, not twice.

Take.

What?

You have better ideas?

Because this is really not my business.

Come on, I just want you to be alive.

I have never k*lled before.

I didn't say you should k*ll her.

Just threaten her.

Get her to abort the baby under duress.

What if she calls my bluff?

Well, it's loaded.

Fire a warning shot.

If that doesn't work

Hey, hey, look! One more thing.

Do not call my name anywhere

if this goes south.

Call Nkem, call Nkem now.

Okay, I'll call Nkem.

How are you?

You can guess.

Yo, I'm sorry.

I can't bring myself

to tell my sister to k*ll her child.

That's what you called me here to tell me?

You could have said this over the phone.

You could have texted.

You called me here to just tell me that!

You begged me!

And I'm just being civil.

I also wanted to let you know

that I need you to leave Ijeoma alone.

Because if anything happens to my sister,

I will point the finger at you.

And you think pointing fingers at me

will affect just me?

Is that what you think?

You think

I don't have fingers to point too?

I know and I don't care.

She's my sister.

Okay. So because she's your sister,

my life has no

My God!

I knew it was you.

You know you wasted my life, right?

I'm going to waste yours.

I promise you.

This is the guy you left me for!

This guy?

I'm going to make you suffer.

You think I'm a bitter person?

I will waste your life!

IJ

IJ. IJ, where are you?

I just saw Dennis and he threatened me.

Are you with security?

IJ, leave whatever grocery shopping

you're doing and go home right now!

He's looking dangerous.

No, I just want to give you the keys.

f*ck!

He just wants to talk.

Just talk.

What the f*ck?

Are you mad?

Sit down!

I need you to sit down!

-What the f*ck is wrong with you?

-Sit down. Sit down!

What the f*ck is wrong? Are you mad?

Have you lost your mind?

-Don't push me.

-What the f*ck is wrong with you?

Do not push me!

Sit down!

Slow down, Yo.

Slow down.

What the f*ck is wrong with you?

Listen, IJ.

-Stop

-IJ

-Stop it

-Listen!

It doesn't need to get this bad!

I need you to be calm!

-Stop behaving like a mad person!

-Sit down, don't tell me that!

You're mad!

Take it!

Drink it!

IJ, drink it!

Okay, okay!

See, you will not force me

into having a child. Drink it!

-Are you crazy?

-IJ!

-Are you mad?

-IJ!

Okay, okay.

Just drink it.

Okay, okay.

We don't have to fight.

Okay? See

Ajazi!

Why did you let her go?

Why did you let her go?

Why?

You're f*cking me up!

The Nigerian police has declared

one Mr. Yoshua Odedo wanted.

This is in connection

with the as*ault of Miss Ijeoma Obi,

The daughter of real estate mogul,

Chief Etti P. Obi.

Mr. Yoshua was last seen where he

allegedly broke into Miss IJ's apartment

and threatened her with a g*n.

The police is thereby calling on anyone

who has useful information

that could lead to his arrest.

He is considered armed and dangerous.

In related news,

the estranged husband of the oldest

daughter of Chief Obi, Dennis Wemina,

has today released a video and made really

serious allegations against his wife.

You see why I hate journalists!

Even the one you did not send them,

they would go.

Look at this

Impotent man calling my daughter barren.

I mean, how can you balance that?

That is arrant nonsense!

Look, I'm going to instruct

my chief security officer

to get all of you all-round protection.

From now, nobody leaves this house

without armed security. And that's it!

Why should they go out?

They should be here.

Mummy he's the one that's wanted.

Why would we be in hiding?

I think you need to travel.

Mummy, my passport is expired and

the process to renew it is very tedious.

Don't worry. I'll make some calls.

Haba! You're my sister.

Why would I ignore your calls?

No, I literally just got to the VI

apartments. I want to pick my passport.

Jesus!

How did you How did you get in?

You and your family

post my picture all over the news.

No, no, Yo!

And you want to force a child on me?

Yo, just sit down. We can talk about this.

Just relax, okay?

Just wait, we can talk about this.

But I also know you want to travel.

And I can't let that happen.

Hello.

Hi?

Oh, your colleagues downstairs said

You know, if you k*ll me, they will

find you and they will k*ll you.

I don't want to k*ll you!

I don't!

Just get rid of this!

Get rid of this!

Don't move!

Where is his accomplice?

He's at the station, sir.

Can we take this one there now?

Not yet.

I want to make sure

my daughter and her child

are fine before I come to you.

But pray.

Pray hard nothing happens to my daughter

and her child, especially, my daughter.

If anything happens to my daughter,

God knows

I will put you away forever.

For now, you stay here

and witness whatever it is.

Good. All good, but the baby is still

in an incubator for obvious reasons.

We brought him 8 weeks early.

All things being equal,

everything will be fine.

All things being equal.

Let's be positive, please.

Take him away and lock him up.

Ajazi, you have to help me!

Ajazi, help me. Ajazi!

Jazi you have to help me, please! Ajazi!

Don't let me go, Ajazi! Do something!

Are you coming in or not?

Boys scout! Are you always this prepared?

I'm always this lucky.

Yes, DPO?

Why?

Okay, I'm on my way.

Okay.

The DPO insists

I come to the station right away.

-Okay. I'll be with the baby.

-Okay.

DPO.

Oh, Chief.

Why are they not in the cell yet?

I have read their statements,

especially this one.

And I also have it on tape.

But it is best to hear

from the horse's mouth.

Oya, start talking.

I was sent by

Wait! Wait! Wait!

Do you know this one?

This Mr. Yo?

No, sir.

When was the first time you met him?

Today sir.

Right.

I was sent by Miss Nkem to k*ll the baby.

Can you repeat what you just said?

I was sent by your older daughter to

terminate your other daughter's pregnancy.

But that's not possible!

Oya talk, talk, talk, quick, quick!

Yes sir. She sent me.

The first attempt was a failed attempt.

She told me to make sure the second time.

I told her I didn't want to do it

but she assured me

that nobody would suspect.

She gave me 2 million naira advance

and promised to give me another

2 million naira once the job is done.

Why would she want to k*ll

her sister's child?

She said you were planning to will

your fortunes to your grandchildren

and that she was not ready

to start having kids yet.

Give me one good reason

why I should believe this your story.

Oh Chief, see it here.

Scare her.

Rough her up but don't hurt her.

This was before

he attacked her at the mall.

Make sure you finish the job this time.

Get rid of that pregnancy

but don't k*ll my sister.

He secretly taped her.

So if she didn't pay him,

he can use this to blackmail her.

You will go to jail.

And then, Chief.

Your daughter too, we invited her.

She refused to honor the invitation.

Police are after her.

-Where's she?

-Where's who?

What do you mean where's who?

Where is she?

You know who I'm talking about!

Don't get me started now!

Please, tell me where she is!

I need to talk to her!

I just want to talk!

Ikoyi.

Change of plans.

Ikoyi residence.

Expect company.

I told you.

You were looking

but you weren't seeing.

Mankind

Shallow.

Don't even think about it.
