Elohim, El-elyon, Aleselewi
Your greatness is all I see

Speak up!
I'm sorry. I--
Who did this?
Who did it?
Amanda
Please
Don't tell me you don't know who did this.
Please
Tell us who got you pregnant.
It doesn't matter anymore.
It doesn't matter.
But Ab we have to know who did--
I said it doesn't matter!
She's not pregnant.
Um Ab you see, no matter
how positive you want to be--
I said she is not pregnant.
What's wrong with you?
Look, look here you
You will do another test.
We will go to a
hospital far away from here
where nobody knows us.
We will get the doctors
to do whatever they need to do.
To ensure that the result
comes out negative.
And it stays like that.
-But--
-It will stay like that.
I should abort?
Shut up!
Abort?
I said you are not pregnant.
No, no, I can't do it.
I can't do it.
I'm begging you. Please, please
What did you say?
You can't?
Look at her, just look at her
Rascal.
Stray dog "I can't"
You will do it as I've said it.
Because of you
everything that I have worked for
All my life.
Everything that we have been
praying for as a family,
Everything at stake now.
Do you think that the church
will still post me to Netherlands,
with this madness?
Idiot.
"I can't"
Father please, please
Please.
It's not right.
It's not right.
Oh, you know what is not right?
You know what is not right.
When you were opening
your legs for that lunatic.
You know what? You--
What is it?
-My husband! My husband!
-Daddy, daddy.
-Daddy, daddy sorry.
-Daddy, daddy.
-You see what you've done.
-Daddy, daddy.
-Can you see what you've done.
-Daddy, daddy
-Go and get the doctor. Call the doctor.
-Sorry!
-Daddy I'm sorry.
-Go and call the doctor.
Excuse me, daddy
Mummy.
Good afte Good afternoon.
Why have you come?
Have you forgotten what the
doctor said about your father?
His heart and stressful situations?
Mummy please.
That's your major problem.
You never listen.
Why can't you just be
like your sister Muna?
Go.
Mary.
Let her come in.
Daddy, daddy.
Daddy please I'm sorry.
Dont call me daddy.
If you ever want to call me
daddy again then you must repent.
And purge yourself
of
of that
iniquity.
Daddy I can't.
Then you have made your choice.
Daddy please, daddy please.
I do not want to see you
In my house when I come back.
Muna Muna please, mummy.
Mummy please, mummy.
Mummy let me talk to
him, let me talk to him.
Let me ask him,
mummy please, mummy please.
Mummy please let me just talk
to him, please mummy.
-Listen!
-Please, mummy please.
-Mummy please.
-He needs time.
Give him time.
How much time mummy, how much time?
My life time.
Mummy where will I go, where will I stay?
For all the pain that you have caused me
that child that you're carrying
will cause you so much pain.
So much more.
You're not the only one I know
I been trying to get it on my own
I been digging way down low
Thank you.
Cheers.
Cheers.
I got you something.
You did?
Mmm-hmm.
Aww
What's in it?
Okay Amanda, I'll give you a clue.
It has something to do with
what I wanted us to talk about.
Oh
The thing that you couldn't
discuss on the phone.
Mmm-hmm.
The thing is we have been
going out for about six months now.
Right?
And so I wanted us to
you know take this thing--
Um
Can you give me a few minutes?
I need to get to the
ladies like I'll be right back.
Is everything okay?
Of course.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Huh.
Hello babes, what's up? What happened?
Babe, there's a big problem.
Please don't tell me he forgot
his wallet at home please.
I think he's about to propose.
Yes, he's about to propose
Oh my God yay
Oh my God, are you serious?
You should be grateful he's not
one of those nonsense guys.
That will be acting as your boyfriend
for months, no proposal, nothing
At least he's about to propose
So how is that an issue?
Nora.
-Wait, you haven't told him about Nora?
-No.
Babes it's Jide, the guy loves you.
That's the same we thought about
George and Okopi and Rogers.
Please! Please!! Please!!!
We're talking about someone
that is quite sensible here.
Not all those idiots that
heard you have a child
and then decided to disappear
because of the fear of paying school fees.
Uh-uh, no.
Amanda, level with me.
Are you not feeling the guy?
You know that I am.
It's the only reason why
I'm not letting him get
intimate with me.
Are you joking? Six months babes.
Ah-ah, what?
You know you could possibly
have cobwebs down there right now.
Just thank God that I'm not that guy
Or else I would have absconded by now.
You should just donate
your thing to a convent.
Well, am I thankful you're not him.
On a serious not I think
you should just go out there
and tell him about Nora.
It's Jide, it's Jide he loves you.
He's not going to do anything
about it, the guy loves you.
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm very sure.
And when you get back
there just act surprised.
don't do all these
Okay?
I'll put wine inside the
fridge, we're going to celebrate tonight.
And when you get back we're
going to talking about Aso-ebi stuff.
-Colors, yellow, purple
-Stop it.
Let the proposal happen first
before you start planning my wedding.
My baby is about to get taken!
Whoop! Whoop!
Whop! whop! I guess you should get going.
Alright, bye. Love you.
Love you too, bye.
Don't do it.
Look, I didn't mean that.
Sorry I listened to your
phone conversation.
Don't tell him about your daughter.
It never ends well.
Same thing happened to me years ago.
No one wanted to marry
me because of my daughter.
Past forty today,
I'm here
Celebrating my fourth
year wedding anniversary.
And till today
My husband thinks my daughter is my niece.
I'm sure you're wondering
how I'm pulling it off.
Well, the thing is we were married
I convinced him to send
her to school abroad.
Well
Congrats on your soon to be engagement.
Hmm
Hey.
You're back.
Yeah
I um
I
You look like you have
something on your mind.
Actually, yes.
You do. Okay, let it out.
So while I was back
there in the rest room
I was trying to figure out a way to
get you to tell me what's in the box.
Because I hate surprises so
Aha
Okay, I'll tell you.
So the thing is
I have I
Go on. Look,
even if you've killed someone.
Okay, did you kill anyone?
Because even if you did, look
I'll help you hide the body.
Okay, so out with it.
I have a medical condition.
Oh wow.
-Yeah.
-You do?
Oh dear, I'm so sorry.
How long have you been dealing with this?
Bastard!
You lying bastard.
You're a stupid man.
So this is the fellowship
you were going for?
-Mabel just jus--
-Oh please keep quiet.
I knew it.
My instincts told me
that you had started again.
But I said
"Mabel, come on, stay positive."
"Your darling husband
has learnt his lesson."
"He has changed."
But then, I opened up your gift.
And guess what I found.
This
Does this look like your wifes size?
Does it?
It's obviously not my s--
Hey, aunty.
Where do you think you're going?
Take a seat.
Don't make me descend on you.
Hmm
Does this tiny thing
Does it look like what your wife wears?
Is this my size? I said you should not
It is you.
It's obviously yours.
Husband snatcher.
Husband snatcher. Cheap prostitute. Woo!
Let me see what he got for you.
Shameless thing, you want
to snatch my husband right?
Hmm I said it.
You see
God's gift.
Purely natural, not surgery, not Lekki.
Did you think this would be her size?
You thought this would be her size right?
-Take a look at your tomato breasts.
-Okay--
-Does this look like your size?
-Okay Mabel
You're embarrassing us.
Will you shut up there?
Embarrassing what?
Look, the world must hear.
You took a part of my soul
But I'd still give you more babe
All men are scum.
All of them.
I tried
I really tried.
I checked his online profile.
There was no clue that he was married.
Like, I'm done.
I'm done with all of them.
I'm done with all men.
Is that him? Give me the phone.
Let me curse his life and his
generation. Give me the phone.
-It's not him.
-Amanda.
Amanda.
Seriously it's some
Some guy who is obsessed with my blog and
he keeps blowing up the comment section--
Give me the phone.
I know you're very cool.
But I'll make sure to deal with him.
I'm going to help you find this closure,
by the time I insult his generation
I insult everyone in his life
Michael007.
What's up?
What's this one's gist?
Like I said
He's some guy who is
obsessed with my blog and
he's just always in the comment section.
Sorry.
Hey baby.
Hi.
Oh, you're downstairs?
Um
Okay er give me like a minute.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, just a minute.
I love you too
Okay.
Um that was Biola.
He
It's fine, you can go.
Honestly I would have
loved to stay with you.
Really, I want to stay with you.
But you know, I've just been postponing
this date for about a month now.
-And it's not just--
-I'll be okay, really.
Are you sure?
So what are you going to do when I'm gone?
Yes, that's what's up!
Bad bitch!
That's what I'm talking about
Just make sure you
don't over indulge because
we don't want Nora
waking up to a drunk mother.
I promise.
Have fun.
I will, trust me I will.
Wait
This Michael guy
Don't you think he can
Kemi no.
-Let me just finish what I'm saying.
-Don't!
I'm actually just saying that
you can just chat up with him.
Just flirt just flirt. Ah-ah.
What? Are you going to kill
yourself because of a man?
Is that what you want to do? You want to
kill yourself because of a man?
Look, flirt with him. You and I
know that nothing will come out of it.
So just have fun.
Just have fun.
I have to start going now.
-Go on dear.
-Just take care of yourself alright.
-Okay
-Have fun.
I will.
Are you sure you're going to be okay?
Kemi go please. I'll be fine.
Okay, I'll be back in
an hour. I promise you okay.
Love you, bye.

How to even open my arms

I've seen the city through
The clouds, it's oh so small
Every now and then I'm falling

Blood rushing to ease the pain

Whatever happened to
"Uh you know it's just one night".
"Just for tonight, I'm just

No, I'm just responding to his
comments on my blog that's all.
-Really?
-That's all.
I promise.
Okay.
Amanda are you okay?
Hmm
Hmm
Are you okay?
I mean with what happened
last night, you're literally
just carrying on like nothing happened.
Life goes on kemi.
Yes, I know life goes on
but are you really okay?
I'm fine, really.
Alright, so where is Nor--
Okay, here she comes.
Morning mummy, morning aunty Kemi.
Morning darling.
Good morning.
Good morning mummy.
Better.
I'm so sorry about
what happened yesterday.
Uh uh
Are you really?
Okay.
Do we have an agreement
about not staying on the phone till late?
Here you go.
Thank you mummy.
Now, go and wait for aunty Kemi in her car
-she's dropping you off today.
-Okay, let's go.
But mummy you said we were going
to talk about my transfer in the morning.
What's there to talk about again darling.
You're going to boarding
school and that's it.
-But mummy
-I don't have time for this, this morning
Okay, I'm running late.
But Mr. Mike, my counselor in school--
I don't care what Mr. Mike says Nora.
I'm your parent.
You're going to boarding
school and that's it.
Now go and wait for aunty Kemi in her car.
What?
I'm done.
I'm just done!
Can you imagine he's not
been replying my text messages
just because I said "Oh I'm not
going to spend the night at your place"
He's just so selfish.
And the last time I spent
the night at his place
He didn't let me sleep.
He was just tossing me all over the place.
The kind of waist
pain I experienced for a week
I couldn't feel my legs--
You're laughing.
No, no, no, not at you.
Somebody sent something
to my phone and just--
Amanda I left my department just
to come and pour out my heart to you
-and then you're laughing at me.
-Please I'm sorry.
You can't even keep
your eyes of Michael's text.
Who said it was Michael?
-Really it's not--
-Yes, it is not--
Give me the phone, give me the phone.
Sorry.
Give me my phone please.
Idiot.
Keep deceiving yourself,
like you and I don't know
you've fallen in love with the guy.
-Fallen in love?
-Oh yes.
A fat chance.
Babe, my heart is locked away in a safe
-and I've thrown away the keys.
-Oh really?
This that I'm doing right
here is called "catching cruise".
-Hmm
-Yes.
Nonsense, nonsense.
Who is there?
-Come in!
-Are you expecting someone?
Hey, umthis came in for you.
Oh.
Okay, thank you.
Your favorite food. Wait, from who?
Aww
-Our new boyfriend.
-He's not my boyfriend.
Eh he knows your favorite food.
He knows your favorite restaurant
and he's not your boyfriend.
Yeah right.
Please say something else.
But wait a minute.
I thought white guys liked
to send flowers and stuff.
Is that him?
-Kemi--
-Wait, wait, wait
Kemi why are you like this?
please give me my phone.
Hi Michael.
This is Kemi.
Amanda's best friend,
-so we got the food you sent.
-Kemi stop it, Kemi stop.
And Amanda absolutely
loves it, thank you so much.
By the way Michael I thought white guys
-like to send flowers and all that stuff.
-Kemi, give me my phone.
-What gives?
-Don't send it, don't!
Why are you like this?
I'm sorry, too late.
Hold on, why are you upset?
I thought it was all fun and games.
So? Is that why you
have to send him stuff?
Okay, he just replied.
How come he's awake by this time, wait
Hello Kemi, hi Amanda
Very funny Kemi
Why would I send flowers?
Is that what she'll eat?
Wait, he sent another one.
How's my pidgin?
I've been watching Nigerian movies
like you suggested and in one of them,
I learned that
sending flowers is a no ,no.
I swear this guy is smart.
He has done his thorough research.
Okay, now that lunch is here
-Mummy
-Yes.
You said you're traveling again.
Yeah, uh it's a work trip
but don't worry I won't be gone for long.
And aunty Kemi is
going to be here with you.
And both of you can
get up to all the mischief
you get up to when mummy is not around.
But why can't your office
people send someone else?
Does it always have to be you?
Okay
Your phone
when did I get it?
The last time you travelled.
So let's just assume
that they send someone else for this trip,
where would I get the travel
bonus that I use to buy your phone
and all the nice things I buy for you.
And even pay your school fees?
Good.
I think
we're all done.
Look at it.
Do you like it?
-Mummy.
-Yes.
Who is Michael?
What?
What Michael?
Aunty Kemi always talks to me
about a Michael that is your friend.
Oh, that Michael
My colleague, our colleague
at work colleague.
What?
Can't I cough again?
You know my counselor
in school his name is Michael.
Mr. Mike.
-He's really--
-Okay.
Hold it.
If this about talking
to Mr. Mike about going
to boarding school,
it's not going to happen.
So drop it.
Baby.
I know that you're not crazy
about going to boarding school.
But you have to trust
that I'm making the best decision for you.
For us.
Are you ashamed of me?
Chimnoram.
Why would you think that?
How could I ever be ashamed of you baby?
Please don't send me away.
I promise to be good.
Baby, I'm not
Amanda.
What?
Um baby let's talk about this later okay.
Alright.
How did you find my place?
Sorry I showed up like this.
You weren't responding to my messages.
-I've been trying to reach--
-Muna, what do you want?
I just wanted to see you and
check on you and see how things are.
And now that you've done that
Goodbye.
Amanda please.
Please wait.
Please.
I get that you don't want to see us,
or hear from any of us.
But Amanda please.
We are trying.
Please
I'm sorry for the part I played.
I was young and stupid.
But really I reacted how
any other teenage girl will act
when her sister gets
pregnant for her boyfriend.
You can't blame me Amanda.
You guys disowned me.
Kicked me out onto the streets.
But you know what?
It's fine.
Because I'm over it.
Please tell me what we
can do to make things right.
Make things right.
You know what?
You, tell me
what grand plans you guys have
to somehow erase
the pain.
Father please, please
The horror.
The torture.
No, no
That I went through,
homeless on the streets,
with a baby to fend for.
Amanda, I can't imagine--
No you can't!
Because if you could, you
would not be here asking me.
How to make things right.
Muna.
Stay away from me.
Stay away from me.
Just
Give me time.
Okay, fine.
Fine.
How much time?
My life time.
I know I shouldn't have done that.
I just thought it was high
time you forgave them.
-That was not your place.
-I know.
I told you everything I
went through with them.
And you can't continue
to live your life like this.
At some point bitterness will kill you.
It doesn't make sense.
This is why she came.
This is what she came to show me,
to rub in my face that
she's getting married!
You tell me that you're sorry
Will make up tomorrow
Tell me everything
You know I wanna hear
I'm trying to be open
Nora.
Nora.
Nora.
I know you're not sleeping.
I'm leaving for the airport now.
Won't you say goodbye?
Bye.
I'll call you.
And either way I need to make it clear
Before we're leaving here
Delivery is in the back.
Excuse me, would you like
coffee or tea while you wait?
No, thank you I'm fine.
Uh uh
Okay, right away.
You can head in now.
Oh, thank you very much.
-Good morning miss Abraham.
-Good morning.
-Sorry to keep you waiting.
-Not a problem.
Please call me Amanda.
-Cool.
-Thank you.
-Have a seat Amanda.
-Thank you, nice to meet you.
I'm surprised that you stopped over here.
Most travel agents representing their
companies are at the convention by now.
Um yes.
I wanted to meet with you in person
before meeting at the convention.
So my organization
believes strongly that we can
do business that's
mutually beneficial to us both.
We saw the proposal
you sent in and responded.
We're in.
We sent the mail to
your office this morning.
You must have been on the flight.
Yes I was.
Wow, that's great.
Please don't tell me that's
why you came over to the states.
Securing this deal is
very important to us but
also attending the convention is a
very important annual commitment for us.
Awesome, I feel better.
So if you'll excuse me I must
get to the convention now.
Absolutely.
Um thank you so much for
meeting me on short notice.
-The pleasure is all mine.
-Thank you.
May I give you a ride to the venue?
-Oh yeah.
-I assume you're not driving.
Thank you, that's so
kind of you. Absolutely.
Thank you.
Yeah, I'll keep that.
My dear
I was getting ready to give
the master of all presentations.
Then he tells me they've agreed.
Can you beat that?
I'm telling you!
Babe hold on there's a call coming in.
I'll call you right back. Alright cool.
Hello.
Hello, who is there?
Chimamanda.
It's me.
Me is not a name.
Chimamanda you know it's me your mother.
Please
Please don't end the call again.
Chimamanda
We need to talk.
No, we're not doing this.
Chimamanda I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
No.
I've made my peace with
your silence and the past.
Let it stay that way.
You know you're my wish ma
You give me love
wey sweet pass pami oh
So how's Nora?
I've been calling her and
she's not been picking up.
Umshe's fine.
Is she awake? Can I talk to her?
Um she's asleep.
She's awake isn't she?
Okay.
So like her mother, she
knows how to hold grudges.
You know what, give her some
time she'll come around okay.
Now, what's up.
How's our lover boy, have you guys met?
Not yet.
But I'm right now
on my way to surprise him.
Hey, Amanda, Amanda
You're still insistent on
this surprise visit thing.
And you're so vehemently
against it because?
Okay, so listen to me.
I don't have a problem
with it, but imagine if
out of the blues this guy
just shows up at our doorstep.
And at that particular point in
time you dont have make up on.
Don't get me wrong
it's not like there'll be
a disaster or anything.
But then youd love
to be at your best when
you're meeting him for the first time so
Look, I just want to meet the real him.
Right? Without any pretenses.
Okay. Well, I've said my piece.
This one that you're so
serious about meeting--
like I don't get it.
Anyway
I honestly hope this guy is
as he looks on social media.
I hope he doesn't turn
out to be an eighty plus year old man.
I've had so many video calls
with him Kemi and you know this.
Where is all this coming from?
I don't know I'm just anxious for you.
I don't know
Amanda honestly I really
want this to work.
Alright.
Thank you so much.

Everything he was carrying

I felt like the ground should
open and just swallow me. I swear.

-Hey, won't you wake up?
-Nice to meet you.
I told you we could
sleep in you insisted on this.
I'm up, I'm up I just needed a
power nap before the real fun begins.
So funny thing
was telling Amanda
since I'm from New York
-I'll be her personal tour guide.
-Hmm
But I wouldn't want to speak over you.
Oh, I understand.
I'm also from around here,
I love going on these tours.
I really love meeting new people.
Today is your lucky day.
you're going to get three
tour guides for the price of one.
Shall we?
We can take this ride
Wherever it goes
As long as you're with me
I feel at home
Alright, so if you guys
can see right up here
on the right with a big spire is
-Oh, it's the empire state building.
-The empire state building.
You must recognize it
from the music video.
You know Jay-z and
the one with Alicia keys.
It has a hundred and two stories.
And around here we should
be able to see Time Square
and Rock-a-Fella center.
Uh-mm
They are kind of in the same area.
The Brooklyn bridge.
It took two generations
of a family to build.
The contractors started
the project in 1869
-and they finished it
-Oh, fourteen years later.
That's right.
Fun fact, around 20 to 30 people
died under this original construction.
including the original
designer of the bridge.
What was his name again?
-John A. Roebling.
-Yes, rightright.
He actually got his leg
crushed by some boat.
and they later amputated his toes.
But he later died of tetanus
and his son took over the project.
Is it eerie?
Yeah.
And here we are at time square.
Guys, this is where the ball
drops every year for new year's eve.
I don't know if you know that.
They host a lot of shows in
Broadway theaters back there.
The ball drop started in
December 31st 1907.
But we can take this ride
Wherever it goes
As long as you're with me
I feel at home
Can you tell me why
Cause I wanna know
As long as you're with me
I feel at home
I got it bad, I just wanted love
I got it bad, I just needed loving
I got it bad, I just wanted love
Someone like you
I got it bad, I just wanted love
I got it bad, I just needed loving
I got it bad, I just needed love
We can take this ride
How long did the tour guide
say we're staying here in central park?
Uh I think it was like thirty minutes.
Oh, okay.
I'm sorry I just
I had to get away from her.
I know right?
She's driving me crazy.
Crazy.
Want to take a ride in one of those?
Oh it looks really cool.
Hey, hey
Do you want to come and ride
with me in one of these things?
-No, thanks.
-Oh come on.
Come on you can't go on these
tours without riding one of these things.
Nah, I'll rather walk thank you.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I'll walk.
Let's get out of here.
Every time.
We can take this ride
Wherever it goes
Uh The vessel
And we're going to head over
this direction for the final--
Did you know that the highline
was actually saved from demolition
by neighborhood residence
in the city of New York.
It actually opened in 2009
as a public space where
visitors could experience nature
like if you're into art and design
and other really cool
stuff like the buildings.
Awesome
Um can you take a picture of me here?
And you can go right past
us, I just want to take a picture.
You can go.
Oh, you guys want me to
Yeah, come.
You all go ahead.
Do you want me to get in the image
-Can I --
-We don't, no, no we don't.
We're good, we're good
I did it for over a year
Oh, nice. Cool.
Alright.
Yes.
New York is so beautiful.
Yeah.
Really used to take my breath away.
Lately, not so much.
Why?
Are you jaded?
No, not
Not really.
Just
See all these millions of people
Feels like my special
someone isn't out there.
Aww
Now
But you're here.
Oh, oh, Michael.
Hey Michael.
Hey Michael, can you
help me take this picture.
Would just be a minute.
-A picture.
-Yeah.
Back here.
-I'm sorry.
-It's okay.
Uh-mm
Do you see her over there?
Young lady.
Young lady, that lady
is thirsty for your man.
You need to mark your
territory and put her in her place.
Honey.
Wait, I'm just telling the truth.
I remember when Becky tried
that nonsense back in the seventies.
I pulled out her hair and I
knocked out her front teeth
Till this day she still has bald
spots and wears veneers,
and I still have my Larry
I'm so sorry.
It's okay sir.
Uhm do you know where the restroom is?
Yeah.
-Thank you, excuse me.
-Okay.
Thank you.
Why are you trying to call
me out like that?
-I'm trying to help this child out.
-You're telling this
-thirty years old story
-And you just threw me under the bus.
Every time you tell this story.
Okay, last one here
Okay, wow.
This is so good.
Hey, we should do this again
sometime you know, just the two of us.
My friend Amanda
is special.
I'm trying to have a nice time with
her and you're getting in the way.
Stay away.
Hey, so I saw Michael on
a tour with an African lady.
Wonder what he's up to.
Dude, should I be surprised?
I mean the guy owns
the freaking touring outfit,
I don't understand why he's just
trying to pass off as a regular customer.
Two words for you bro
Nigerian.
Scam.
-Those are five words.
-You get my point.
Dude, when you're super rich like that,
you can't be concerned with
all these Nigerian guys come on.
That is some bad shit ignorance
you just spewed out of your mouth.
Look
I just call it like I see it.
Just saying.
Come on.
Hey, where have you been?
I've been looking all over for you.
What's wrong?
Why didn't you tell me that you own the
tourism outfit that has
been taking us around.
I uh
-I didnt think it was--
-Don't worry.
You won't have to deal with being
scammed by yet another Nigerian.
Goodbye Michael.
Amanda please wait.
Leave me alone or
else I'll go crazy on you right here!
Are you crazy?
I know I can be unkind
But you're not always understanding
I like to take my time
But time is what you're always chasing
I know I like to hide
Hello, are you there?
I'm here.
Okay, so after you heard what did you do?
I just told him off and left.
Hello?
Okay, he's rich.
How rich are we talking about here?
Seriously Kemi.
I just bared my soul out to you and
all you can think about is rich.
Okay.
Have you told him about Nora?
Now, look at this
Imagine if he heard you have a daughter
before you had the
opportunity of telling him,
and he reacts
this exact way you're reacting.
How would it make you feel?
You know you're not being fair right now.
No, life is not fair Amanda.
And Im your ride or die,
I should be able to tell you the
truth when you're messing up.
Like you're messing up right now babe.
Look
All I'm just trying to say is
sleep on it.
If you wake up tomorrow and
you feel the same way, that's fine.
Alright, no problem.
-I have to go, bye.
-Amanda I--
Woke up this morning
Come on, answer your phone.
Hi, good morning.
I need to speak with one of your guests.
Yeah
No, I don't know. Her name is Amanda.
Chimamanda Abraham.
What?
Amanda!
Amanda!
Amanda, please
Please we have to talk.
Please
Come on.
Alright.
I'll get this.
Come on.
Look
I've been hurt so many times.
People always trying to rip me off,
even close friends.
I get close to them and they disappear.
How many times is someone
supposed to deal with that
before they protect themselves.
But I
I messed up.
And I'm truly sorry.
What can I do to make this right?
I'm not going to let you go.
So um
when you got here if
you had found out that
Ive gone to the airport,
were you going to do
the whole romcom clich thing of
chasing me down, and delivering
a heart felt romantic speech?
That was the plan.
Look
I would have surprised you.
Do you think this is a movie?
There's no harm in trying.
So
I take it my pidgin is getting better?
Like absolutely excellent.
Oh my goodness.
Wow
Thank you.
Let's get this stuff,
take it back upstairs.
Hmm?
So, how how do I know about
Hmm mm
The guy who's all
in the travel and tourism
Come on.
Oh, excuse me.
All right
-I need to take this.
-All right, it's fine.
This is Michael, yeah talk to me.
Careful.
There you go.
Ugh Damn looking forward to this
Whoa, whoa
You got it backwards.
This is mine.
That's hers.
Why would you assume how
I want the jollof rice?
I see it's spicy
That's what I care for man.
-Huh
-Enjoy
Okay.
Let's get going.
Um, do you want to
take just a little bit first?
I'll be all right.
It's kind of
Heaven.
It's not too spicy?
It's okay.
Can I take a piece?
Have at it.
You see.
Are you serious?
What?
Are you serious right now?
Really?
Oh my God.
So, I've been coming
here since my college days,
Some of my Nigerian
buddies showed it to me.
I love this place
Oh my goodness, look at you.
Oh my goodness
What is happening?
Learner, come on.
Oh, thats so tall.
They don't have buildings like that?
Excuse me, we do have buildings
-like that in Nigeria.
-Okay.
-Then why are you so impressed?
-I'm just saying that
this particular one is really tall.
-Oh okay
-Yeah
It all right, they're taller.
What?
I know it's a shot in the dark.
But
I'm going to put it out there
I think you should stay a few more days.
-What?
-Michael come on.
We just started warming up to each other.
I feel like
We just started being honest, I want
you to know the real me better.
-I'm thinking
-Come on.
-Come on.
-Thinking
Just saying.
-It's insanity, that's what that is
-I know right.
Whatever.
And so,
now that you have finally
emotionally blackmailed me
into staying a few more days,
what's the plan?
Well
I'd like to take you to a place
where I only take the closest people.
Hmm
You'd love it.
But, you'd find it hard to leave.
Okay, okay.
So, where is this magical place?
My home.
Uh-mm, Okay.
I'm.
I'm going to have to tell you something.
Okay.
At least, you can tell me anything.
I
Amanda, you can trust me.
You can feel safe.
I mean
Unless
Please don't tell me you're a vegetarian
I can't deal.
Stop making me laugh.
Um
So the thing is
I have a daughter.
Alright.
And?
That's it.
I have a daughter.
I--
I I
I don't understand, what
What are you expecting?
That's meant to be a
deal breaker for guys right?
What guys have you been hanging out with?
Are you serious?
Is this a Nigerian thing?
Do guys over there they justcome on.
They just run away?
You're not joking with me right now?
No I'm not, like are you for real?
You're making me worried about
who you've been spending your time with,
because this doesn't make sense to me.
It's like
my opinion of
kind of questioning.
I'd love to meet your daughter.
What's her name?
Chimnoram.
Chim
Can I just say "Nora"?
Yeah
I was just messing with you,
that's what everybody calls her.
-I guess.
-So Chimnoram means
"As long as God is in control,
everything will be okay".
It's deep.
Wish I had a Nigerian name,
could be Nigerian
-I guess I'd have to be black first right?
-Yes, that.
There is that
Nora.
I guess she's a lovely girl.
Just like her mum.
What?
You had me thinking
we were going to be out,
burying a body together or something.
And then I find out you have a daughter.
You're weird.
No, come here, come here.
I want to be
A part of, each and
every part of your life.
In totality.
Come here.
You're going to make me cry.
Let's go.
Fine day isn't it?
Yeah.
It's beautiful.
Right?
-This is us, my old and faithful.
-Oh
Texas?
Long story.
Let's go get your bag.
Okay.
Alright.
-So gentlemanly
-There you go, I do what I can.
Thank you.
Let's just take a ride along the bay
We don't need to work
We can sit around and play
After waiting for so long to get away
Baby don't hold back,
All you gotta do is say
What would you like
To be satisfied with me
I've been counting moments of love
I've been catching signs from above
All I wanna do is satisfy you
Baby all you want is
To be satisfied with me
Um, how much further are we going?
Oh, we'll be there soon.
My little slice of heaven,
you're gonna love it.
Why do you think so?
So, you remember that blog entry
you wrote about your bucket list?
And on it, there was cabin in the woods.
Have you really read all my blog posts?
Of course.
Look, I think you're a great writer.
To be honest,
I'm kind of hoping you might
write an article while we're here.
Witness greatness at work.
Be careful what you wish for
Yeah
Alright.
That's what I'm talking about.
Finger crossed, no promises.
Okay.
You get me all excited now.
We've been drinking
Champagne on the beach of Malibu
Cruising down the boulevard
Kissing in the back seat of the car
Making love under the stars
How would you like
To be satisfied with me
I've been counting moments of love
I've been catching signs from above
All I wanna do is satisfy you
Baby all you want is
To be satisfied with me
It's like the middle of nowhere.
Don't like the mountains?
-It's beautiful right?
-New experience.
Alright.
All I wanna do is satisfy you
Baby all you want is
To be satisfied with me
After you.
Whoa.
This is another romcom clich but
Welcome to my humble abode.
So
Nice.
Whoa
Wow
That's a lot of dead animals.
Well, I can't take credit for all of them.
But it's home.
No, no, no It's okay, it's okay.
It's just Edna.
She
She takes care of the house for me.
Oh
She's known me since I was an errant teen.
Edna, you can not be
sneaking up on us like that.
No, it's okay.
It's okay she
It's fine, no problem.
So you're taking her side now?
Edna?
This is Amanda, she's our guest.
Nice to meet you ma.
Um Edna.
She not the most talkative.
I really should let her go but,
I keep her around because
she doesn't have anyone.
She's like me.
Aww
But, let's get you moved in.
For all the pain that you have caused me.
That child you're carrying
will cause you so much pain.
So much more.
So much more pain.
More.
No, no, no
More
What happened?
I had a nightmare.
Come here.
Do you want to talk about it?
So what your father said.
The curse.
It sounds like it did some
serious emotional damage.
Sometimes I
My daughter Nora
I feel like maybe my dad's
curse is in effect, you know?
She's always so moody
and so defiant, like I
I think she hates me.
That's just a teenager, it's normal.
They're always abnormal.
What your dad said, that's
That's just the pained words
of a control freak parent.
What you want to do,
what you want to believe,
that's all that matters.
Thank you.
Doctor Phil.
You're welcome ma'am.
-I think I'm more a Tony Robbins guy.
-Um-hmm
-I hear you.
-Yeah.
It has been,
so long
since I've been this happy.
I finally feel at peace.
With everything that
happened to you in Nigeria,
I just want you to stay,
I can take care of you.
You complete me.
I'm never letting you go.
Never.
My stomach just growled.
I need food.
I'll go serve dinner, okay?
Aww so romantic.
You just relax here.
-Go
-Jesus!
Good evening Edna.
Go
Ah
I hope you enjoyed dinner?
I did.
Thank you.
Yeah.
So when are we leaving for
the airport tomorrow morning?
It's a long way out here.
I don't want to be late for my flight.
Well
I was hoping you'd stay a little longer.
Seriously.
Whatever the charge
is to change it, I'll take care of it.
Actually,
I originally booked
two weeks for this trip.
-But
-No buts.
My travel agent will handle it.
But Nora.
I need to get back to my daughter.
She's not talking to me right now.
Pulling a Nora card that's pretty low.
No
-Alright
-Come on.
Alright.
We'll leave first thing in the morning.
There you go.
Somebody is missing me already.
Yes.
Alright, I'll take this.

Yeah.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
I just had a little bit too much.
Amanda!
Thank God, you're awake.
Come here.
Edna.

How are you feeling?
My head hurts.
What time is it?
It's about 9am.

Come on, come on.
That's it
You're going to be okay.
You're going to be okay.
There you go.
There we go.
Let me get the water.
Have some water.
Yeah.
There
Now, just relax.
You're going to be alright.
I'm here to take care of you.
I'll be here till the very end.
Hey pumpkin, you're not sleeping?
Have you spoken to mum?
I've been calling her
but she's not answering.
Nora, I'm sure she's
very busy. She's fine.
Don't worry she'll call you tomorrow okay.
Okay.
Now, go grab some sleep
and stop worrying your pretty head.
I love you.
Hey Amanda.
Again?
Babe, what's going on?
What's up with this radio
silence? I don't understand.
Nora and I have been
trying to reach you for like
forever and nothing
You didn't even think to send us
a simple message on WhatsApp.
It doesn't make sense.
You can't just meet a
man and forget about us.
Is the "thing" really that good?
Oh
Um
So, your mum came.
And your sister.
And they said something like
you blocked them.
Babe, honestly I hope you're fine.
Whatever it is, just
buzz us when you can, okay?
And greet hubby for us.
I miss you, I miss you.
Bye
Baby, you're looking so much better today.
It's time for soup.
It's really helping you get better.
-No
-Come on.
-Come on, I'll sit you up.
-No
Come on.
-There we go.
-Babe
Yeah.
Please take me back.
You need to eat, you
need to regain your strength.
Please, I need to go back.
My daughter.
They'll be worried about me.
-Please.
-We'll go.
We'll go.
We just have to get you stronger.
You promise?
Cross my heart.
I love you.
Now come on.
Just a little bit of soup.
My phone
My phone.
Edna?
My phone.
Please do you know where my phone is?
Edna my phone.
There you are.
You had us worried, what happened?
I saw her.
I saw her.
You saw who? Edna?
Liz.
I saw
I saw her.
Liz?
This is worse than I thought.
You you're hallucinating.
No.
Ask, Edna saw
Ask Edna.
Edna
Was someone here?
You saw her.
You saw her.
You saw her.
We'll need to get you to a hospital.
Please, my phone.
Do you have it?
Yes, it's with me.
Okay.
Please I need it.
Okay.
Give me a second.
Michael.
Michael, did
Did you lock the door?
Back to bed dear.
Michael.
Please.
Open the door.
I can't.
It's for your own safety,
you're hallucinating now.
Michael, you don't know that.
You're not a doctor, I
need a doctor please.
I used to be a paramedic.
I know a thing or two.
Oh, let me out
Please, let me out.
Please
Get some rest dear.
Please
Please, let me out.
Michael.
Michael.
Who's there?
No time
Quick, come, come
Edna?
Edna.
Edna.
Hey, please you need to be quiet.
I'm trying to help you.
Your life is in danger, we
need to get out of here now.
Several women, mostly Nigerian,
arrive the states then disappear.
Michael is our prime suspect.
They can all be traced to him as the
last contact before he went missing.
He is sick.
We need to get out of here now. Before--
Don't move!
What's going on.
Im detective Sanders
and youre under arrest.
Arrest? But what for?
The kidnapping of Amanda Abraham.
Don't be ridiculous.
I will shoot you if you
move any closer right now.
Like Amanda, most of the women you
bring here are never heard from again.
-You killed them.
-What!
Get on your knees.
Amanda.
Are you okay?
-Did she hurt you?
-Get on your knees.
Don't be afraid,
it's all going to be fine.
But don't listen to her.
I had some of my guys
look into her she's a nutcase.
-Shut up.
-She obsesses over men,
She stalks them
-Shut up.
-some of them have been killed.
That badge is fake.
He's lyingI to--
Stay down.
No time.
Quick.
Sweetie where are you going?
Go.
Edna.
After all Ive done for you.
Keeping you on when no one else would.
Go.
No time, go!
-I'm not going without you Edna.
-You trust her?
You trust her more than you trust me?
She's been there for
every one of the girls.
She's my family.
I'm the only family she has.
Say what you want.
You will not kill this girl too.
You, you'll have to go through me.
What will you do?
Hmm?
Amanda, go.
Come back to me and we'll
be normal again. I promise.
Nothing is normal with us.
You make me do evil.
Because I have no choice.
It stops now.
Amanda!
Amanda!
Amanda!
Amanda!
There's no one else out here but us.
You can go on for days
and not get anywhere.
Amanda!
I don't want to shoot you Amanda.
I just want to talk, I
don't want to kill you.
Amanda!
I hoped, I really prayed.
You said you would stay with me.
I showed you nothing but love.
and just like the
others, you want to leave me.
Why am I so hard to love?
Why are you leaving after all we shared?
Don't move.
I love you.
I swear it.
Don't cry, no, no, no
Don't cry.
I don't want to see you cry.
You made me mad
because you made me kill Edna.
She was all I had.
And you made me kill her.
But you know what?
I'll forgive you.
I'll forgive you.
If you promise not to run away again.
Okay, okay, I promise.
I'll get rid of the gun.
-You promise?
-I promise.
I promise.
Can you see?
I knew you'll come back.
You forgot me.
Don't worry, just let it happen.
This time you won't wake up.
He's been linked to the
disappearance of over fifteen women.
What?
Most of them Nigerian.
Most of them we will discover
when forensics is done.
They lye in those shallow graves
that you noticed in the woods.
So, did he get them all
through his touring company?
He never owned a touring company.
We've arrested a couple of men who he paid
to make women believe he's rich.
He doesn't own anything.
This cabin
belongs to the first victim he killed.
Thanks to Liz's
passion and doggedness
this could have gone on for much longer.
So is there anyone else
that you've seen with him?
Anyone at all that could be in on this.
Apart from Edna, he
did say he had no family.
No, he never had family.
He grew up in an orphanage
that he fled from as a teenager
to avoid therapy sessions and
treatments for his mental disorder.
Oh my goodness.
Wait
There was a lady I met
with him in New York.
He said that she was he's cousin, Natasha.
Not a blood relative.
They grew up in the orphanage together.
That's what they called each other
at the orphanage "cousins"
Yeah, we've spoken to her.
She's given us the back
story on his time there.
She's terribly shocked by all this,
and swears she thought he
was in treatment this whole time.
Wow.
So
Why Nigerian women?
Well, we're still gathering information
but we've contacted the Nigerian Embassy.
They are on standby
to take care of whatever
it is that you might need
before you return home.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so, so much.
Is there anything else I
can do for you right now?
I need to get this.
Excuse me.
Hello babe.
Hello.
Babe, what's going on?
Why did you just abandon everybody?
Was the "thing" really that good?
Long story.
Can I talk to Nora please?
Wait
Babe are you okay?
Look, I'll gist you later,
can I just talk to my baby?
Yeah, yeah hold on.
Mummy.
Hello.
Mummy are you okay?
Mummy I'm so sorry, I've
been worried about you.
I love you so, so much.
I'm sorry too, I miss you.
I'm coming home.
Ah-ah

-Oh my God.
-You like?
-This is beautiful.
-Eh, I like it too.
-Oh
But I like this one too.
Yeah but this, this, this is like
like it suits my skin color.
Yay, I'm getting married.
Look at me.
-But this is nice.
-I am getting married.
-Okay, this one is for you?
-Your father and for the entire family.
Okay.
-Your father too.
-Okay.
-Your father, me, and you.
-Okay

Trying to describe you
Elohim, El-elyon, Aleselewi
Your greatness is all I see
There is nothing you cannot do
There's no mountain you cannot move
If you have said it
Then you will do it
'Cos you have a track
Record of keeping your word

To stop doing it now

Speak up!
I'm sorry. I--
Who did this?
Who did it?
Amanda
Please
Don't tell me you don't know who did this.
Please
Tell us who got you pregnant.
It doesn't matter anymore.
It doesn't matter.
But Ab we have to know who did--
I said it doesn't matter!
She's not pregnant.
Um Ab you see, no matter
how positive you want to be--
I said she is not pregnant.
What's wrong with you?
Look, look here you
You will do another test.
We will go to a
hospital far away from here
where nobody knows us.
We will get the doctors
to do whatever they need to do.
To ensure that the result
comes out negative.
And it stays like that.
-But--
-It will stay like that.
I should abort?
Shut up!
Abort?
I said you are not pregnant.
No, no, I can't do it.
I can't do it.
I'm begging you. Please, please
What did you say?
You can't?
Look at her, just look at her
Rascal.
Stray dog "I can't"
You will do it as I've said it.
Because of you
everything that I have worked for
All my life.
Everything that we have been
praying for as a family,
Everything at stake now.
Do you think that the church
will still post me to Netherlands,
with this madness?
Idiot.
"I can't"
Father please, please
Please.
It's not right.
It's not right.
Oh, you know what is not right?
You know what is not right.
When you were opening
your legs for that lunatic.
You know what? You--
What is it?
-My husband! My husband!
-Daddy, daddy.
-Daddy, daddy sorry.
-Daddy, daddy.
-You see what you've done.
-Daddy, daddy.
-Can you see what you've done.
-Daddy, daddy
-Go and get the doctor. Call the doctor.
-Sorry!
-Daddy I'm sorry.
-Go and call the doctor.
Excuse me, daddy
Mummy.
Good afte Good afternoon.
Why have you come?
Have you forgotten what the
doctor said about your father?
His heart and stressful situations?
Mummy please.
That's your major problem.
You never listen.
Why can't you just be
like your sister Muna?
Go.
Mary.
Let her come in.
Daddy, daddy.
Daddy please I'm sorry.
Dont call me daddy.
If you ever want to call me
daddy again then you must repent.
And purge yourself
of
of that
iniquity.
Daddy I can't.
Then you have made your choice.
Daddy please, daddy please.
I do not want to see you
In my house when I come back.
Muna Muna please, mummy.
Mummy please, mummy.
Mummy let me talk to
him, let me talk to him.
Let me ask him,
mummy please, mummy please.
Mummy please let me just talk
to him, please mummy.
-Listen!
-Please, mummy please.
-Mummy please.
-He needs time.
Give him time.
How much time mummy, how much time?
My life time.
Mummy where will I go, where will I stay?
For all the pain that you have caused me
that child that you're carrying
will cause you so much pain.
So much more.
You're not the only one I know
I been trying to get it on my own
I been digging way down low
Thank you.
Cheers.
Cheers.
I got you something.
You did?
Mmm-hmm.
Aww
What's in it?
Okay Amanda, I'll give you a clue.
It has something to do with
what I wanted us to talk about.
Oh
The thing that you couldn't
discuss on the phone.
Mmm-hmm.
The thing is we have been
going out for about six months now.
Right?
And so I wanted us to
you know take this thing--
Um
Can you give me a few minutes?
I need to get to the
ladies like I'll be right back.
Is everything okay?
Of course.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Huh.
Hello babes, what's up? What happened?
Babe, there's a big problem.
Please don't tell me he forgot
his wallet at home please.
I think he's about to propose.
Yes, he's about to propose
Oh my God yay
Oh my God, are you serious?
You should be grateful he's not
one of those nonsense guys.
That will be acting as your boyfriend
for months, no proposal, nothing
At least he's about to propose
So how is that an issue?
Nora.
-Wait, you haven't told him about Nora?
-No.
Babes it's Jide, the guy loves you.
That's the same we thought about
George and Okopi and Rogers.
Please! Please!! Please!!!
We're talking about someone
that is quite sensible here.
Not all those idiots that
heard you have a child
and then decided to disappear
because of the fear of paying school fees.
Uh-uh, no.
Amanda, level with me.
Are you not feeling the guy?
You know that I am.
It's the only reason why
I'm not letting him get
intimate with me.
Are you joking? Six months babes.
Ah-ah, what?
You know you could possibly
have cobwebs down there right now.
Just thank God that I'm not that guy
Or else I would have absconded by now.
You should just donate
your thing to a convent.
Well, am I thankful you're not him.
On a serious not I think
you should just go out there
and tell him about Nora.
It's Jide, it's Jide he loves you.
He's not going to do anything
about it, the guy loves you.
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm very sure.
And when you get back
there just act surprised.
don't do all these
Okay?
I'll put wine inside the
fridge, we're going to celebrate tonight.
And when you get back we're
going to talking about Aso-ebi stuff.
-Colors, yellow, purple
-Stop it.
Let the proposal happen first
before you start planning my wedding.
My baby is about to get taken!
Whoop! Whoop!
Whop! whop! I guess you should get going.
Alright, bye. Love you.
Love you too, bye.
Don't do it.
Look, I didn't mean that.
Sorry I listened to your
phone conversation.
Don't tell him about your daughter.
It never ends well.
Same thing happened to me years ago.
No one wanted to marry
me because of my daughter.
Past forty today,
I'm here
Celebrating my fourth
year wedding anniversary.
And till today
My husband thinks my daughter is my niece.
I'm sure you're wondering
how I'm pulling it off.
Well, the thing is we were married
I convinced him to send
her to school abroad.
Well
Congrats on your soon to be engagement.
Hmm
Hey.
You're back.
Yeah
I um
I
You look like you have
something on your mind.
Actually, yes.
You do. Okay, let it out.
So while I was back
there in the rest room
I was trying to figure out a way to
get you to tell me what's in the box.
Because I hate surprises so
Aha
Okay, I'll tell you.
So the thing is
I have I
Go on. Look,
even if you've killed someone.
Okay, did you kill anyone?
Because even if you did, look
I'll help you hide the body.
Okay, so out with it.
I have a medical condition.
Oh wow.
-Yeah.
-You do?
Oh dear, I'm so sorry.
How long have you been dealing with this?
Bastard!
You lying bastard.
You're a stupid man.
So this is the fellowship
you were going for?
-Mabel just jus--
-Oh please keep quiet.
I knew it.
My instincts told me
that you had started again.
But I said
"Mabel, come on, stay positive."
"Your darling husband
has learnt his lesson."
"He has changed."
But then, I opened up your gift.
And guess what I found.
This
Does this look like your wifes size?
Does it?
It's obviously not my s--
Hey, aunty.
Where do you think you're going?
Take a seat.
Don't make me descend on you.
Hmm
Does this tiny thing
Does it look like what your wife wears?
Is this my size? I said you should not
It is you.
It's obviously yours.
Husband snatcher.
Husband snatcher. Cheap prostitute. Woo!
Let me see what he got for you.
Shameless thing, you want
to snatch my husband right?
Hmm I said it.
You see
God's gift.
Purely natural, not surgery, not Lekki.
Did you think this would be her size?
You thought this would be her size right?
-Take a look at your tomato breasts.
-Okay--
-Does this look like your size?
-Okay Mabel
You're embarrassing us.
Will you shut up there?
Embarrassing what?
Look, the world must hear.
You took a part of my soul
But I'd still give you more babe
All men are scum.
All of them.
I tried
I really tried.
I checked his online profile.
There was no clue that he was married.
Like, I'm done.
I'm done with all of them.
I'm done with all men.
Is that him? Give me the phone.
Let me curse his life and his
generation. Give me the phone.
-It's not him.
-Amanda.
Amanda.
Seriously it's some
Some guy who is obsessed with my blog and
he keeps blowing up the comment section--
Give me the phone.
I know you're very cool.
But I'll make sure to deal with him.
I'm going to help you find this closure,
by the time I insult his generation
I insult everyone in his life
Michael007.
What's up?
What's this one's gist?
Like I said
He's some guy who is
obsessed with my blog and
he's just always in the comment section.
Sorry.
Hey baby.
Hi.
Oh, you're downstairs?
Um
Okay er give me like a minute.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, just a minute.
I love you too
Okay.
Um that was Biola.
He
It's fine, you can go.
Honestly I would have
loved to stay with you.
Really, I want to stay with you.
But you know, I've just been postponing
this date for about a month now.
-And it's not just--
-I'll be okay, really.
Are you sure?
So what are you going to do when I'm gone?
Yes, that's what's up!
Bad bitch!
That's what I'm talking about
Just make sure you
don't over indulge because
we don't want Nora
waking up to a drunk mother.
I promise.
Have fun.
I will, trust me I will.
Wait
This Michael guy
Don't you think he can
Kemi no.
-Let me just finish what I'm saying.
-Don't!
I'm actually just saying that
you can just chat up with him.
Just flirt just flirt. Ah-ah.
What? Are you going to kill
yourself because of a man?
Is that what you want to do? You want to
kill yourself because of a man?
Look, flirt with him. You and I
know that nothing will come out of it.
So just have fun.
Just have fun.
I have to start going now.
-Go on dear.
-Just take care of yourself alright.
-Okay
-Have fun.
I will.
Are you sure you're going to be okay?
Kemi go please. I'll be fine.
Okay, I'll be back in
an hour. I promise you okay.
Love you, bye.
They never showed me
How to even open my arms
I've been dreaming that I'm flying
I've seen the city through
The clouds, it's oh so small
Every now and then I'm falling
Say something
Say something
Blood rushing to ease the pain
Say something
Don't leave me hanging
Say something, don't leave again
Say something, say something
Blood rushing to ease the pain
Say something,

"Just for tonight, I'm just

No, I'm just responding to his
comments on my blog that's all.
-Really?
-That's all.
I promise.
Okay.
Amanda are you okay?
Hmm
Hmm
Are you okay?
I mean with what happened

just carrying on like nothing happened.
Life goes on kemi.
Yes, I know life goes on

I'm fine, really.
Alright, so where is Nor--
Okay, here she comes.
Morning mummy, morning aunty Kemi.
Morning darling.
Good morning.
Good morning mummy.
Better.
I'm so sorry about
what happened yesterday.
Uh uh
Are you really?
Okay.
Do we have an agreement
about not staying on the phone till late?
Here you go.
Thank you mummy.
Now, go and wait for aunty Kemi in her car
-she's dropping you off today.
-Okay, let's go.
But mummy you said we were going
to talk about my transfer in the morning.
What's there to talk about again darling.
You're going to boarding
school and that's it.
-But mummy
-I don't have time for this, this morning
Okay, I'm running late.
But Mr. Mike, my counselor in school--
I don't care what Mr. Mike says Nora.
I'm your parent.
You're going to boarding
school and that's it.
Now go and wait for aunty Kemi in her car.
What?
I'm done.
I'm just done!
Can you imagine he's not
been replying my text messages
just because I said "Oh I'm not
going to spend the night at your place"
He's just so selfish.
And the last time I spent
the night at his place
He didn't let me sleep.
He was just tossing me all over the place.
The kind of waist
pain I experienced for a week
I couldn't feel my legs--
You're laughing.
No, no, no, not at you.
Somebody sent something
to my phone and just--
Amanda I left my department just
to come and pour out my heart to you
-and then you're laughing at me.
-Please I'm sorry.
You can't even keep
your eyes of Michael's text.
Who said it was Michael?
-Really it's not--
-Yes, it is not--
Give me the phone, give me the phone.
Sorry.
Give me my phone please.
Idiot.
Keep deceiving yourself,
like you and I don't know
you've fallen in love with the guy.
-Fallen in love?
-Oh yes.
A fat chance.
Babe, my heart is locked away in a safe
-and I've thrown away the keys.
-Oh really?
This that I'm doing right
here is called "catching cruise".
-Hmm
-Yes.
Nonsense, nonsense.
Who is there?
-Come in!
-Are you expecting someone?
Hey, umthis came in for you.
Oh.
Okay, thank you.
Your favorite food. Wait, from who?
Aww
-Our new boyfriend.
-He's not my boyfriend.
Eh he knows your favorite food.
He knows your favorite restaurant
and he's not your boyfriend.
Yeah right.
Please say something else.
But wait a minute.
I thought white guys liked
to send flowers and stuff.
Is that him?
-Kemi--
-Wait, wait, wait
Kemi why are you like this?
please give me my phone.
Hi Michael.
This is Kemi.
Amanda's best friend,
-so we got the food you sent.
-Kemi stop it, Kemi stop.
And Amanda absolutely
loves it, thank you so much.
By the way Michael I thought white guys
-like to send flowers and all that stuff.
-Kemi, give me my phone.
-What gives?
-Don't send it, don't!
Why are you like this?
I'm sorry, too late.
Hold on, why are you upset?
I thought it was all fun and games.
So? Is that why you
have to send him stuff?
Okay, he just replied.
How come he's awake by this time, wait
Hello Kemi, hi Amanda
Very funny Kemi
Why would I send flowers?
Is that what she'll eat?
Wait, he sent another one.
How's my pidgin?
I've been watching Nigerian movies
like you suggested and in one of them,
I learned that
sending flowers is a no ,no.
I swear this guy is smart.
He has done his thorough research.
Okay, now that lunch is here
-Mummy
-Yes.
You said you're traveling again.
Yeah, uh it's a work trip
but don't worry I won't be gone for long.
And aunty Kemi is
going to be here with you.
And both of you can
get up to all the mischief
you get up to when mummy is not around.
But why can't your office
people send someone else?
Does it always have to be you?
Okay
Your phone
when did I get it?
The last time you travelled.
So let's just assume
that they send someone else for this trip,
where would I get the travel
bonus that I use to buy your phone
and all the nice things I buy for you.
And even pay your school fees?
Good.
I think
we're all done.
Look at it.
Do you like it?
-Mummy.
-Yes.
Who is Michael?
What?
What Michael?
Aunty Kemi always talks to me
about a Michael that is your friend.
Oh, that Michael
My colleague, our colleague
at work colleague.
What?
Can't I cough again?
You know my counselor
in school his name is Michael.
Mr. Mike.
-He's really--
-Okay.
Hold it.
If this about talking
to Mr. Mike about going
to boarding school,
it's not going to happen.
So drop it.
Baby.
I know that you're not crazy
about going to boarding school.
But you have to trust
that I'm making the best decision for you.
For us.
Are you ashamed of me?
Chimnoram.
Why would you think that?
How could I ever be ashamed of you baby?
Please don't send me away.
I promise to be good.
Baby, I'm not
Amanda.
What?
Um baby let's talk about this later okay.
Alright.
How did you find my place?
Sorry I showed up like this.
You weren't responding to my messages.
-I've been trying to reach--
-Muna, what do you want?
I just wanted to see you and
check on you and see how things are.
And now that you've done that
Goodbye.
Amanda please.
Please wait.
Please.
I get that you don't want to see us,
or hear from any of us.
But Amanda please.
We are trying.
Please
I'm sorry for the part I played.
I was young and stupid.
But really I reacted how
any other teenage girl will act
when her sister gets
pregnant for her boyfriend.
You can't blame me Amanda.
You guys disowned me.
Kicked me out onto the streets.
But you know what?
It's fine.
Because I'm over it.
Please tell me what we
can do to make things right.
Make things right.
You know what?
You, tell me
what grand plans you guys have
to somehow erase
the pain.
Father please, please
The horror.
The torture.
No, no
That I went through,
homeless on the streets,
with a baby to fend for.
Amanda, I can't imagine--
No you can't!
Because if you could, you
would not be here asking me.
How to make things right.
Muna.
Stay away from me.
Stay away from me.
Just
Give me time.
Okay, fine.
Fine.
How much time?
My life time.
I know I shouldn't have done that.
I just thought it was high
time you forgave them.
-That was not your place.
-I know.
I told you everything I
went through with them.
And you can't continue
to live your life like this.
At some point bitterness will kill you.
It doesn't make sense.
This is why she came.
This is what she came to show me,
to rub in my face that
she's getting married!
You tell me that you're sorry
Will make up tomorrow
Tell me everything
You know I wanna hear
I'm trying to be open
Nora.
Nora.
Nora.
I know you're not sleeping.
I'm leaving for the airport now.
Won't you say goodbye?
Bye.
I'll call you.
And either way I need to make it clear
Before we're leaving here
Delivery is in the back.
Excuse me, would you like
coffee or tea while you wait?
No, thank you I'm fine.
Uh uh
Okay, right away.
You can head in now.
Oh, thank you very much.
-Good morning miss Abraham.
-Good morning.
-Sorry to keep you waiting.
-Not a problem.
Please call me Amanda.
-Cool.
-Thank you.
-Have a seat Amanda.
-Thank you, nice to meet you.
I'm surprised that you stopped over here.
Most travel agents representing their
companies are at the convention by now.
Um yes.
I wanted to meet with you in person
before meeting at the convention.
So my organization
believes strongly that we can
do business that's
mutually beneficial to us both.
We saw the proposal
you sent in and responded.
We're in.
We sent the mail to
your office this morning.
You must have been on the flight.
Yes I was.
Wow, that's great.
Please don't tell me that's
why you came over to the states.
Securing this deal is
very important to us but
also attending the convention is a
very important annual commitment for us.
Awesome, I feel better.
So if you'll excuse me I must
get to the convention now.
Absolutely.
Um thank you so much for
meeting me on short notice.
-The pleasure is all mine.
-Thank you.
May I give you a ride to the venue?
-Oh yeah.
-I assume you're not driving.
Thank you, that's so
kind of you. Absolutely.
Thank you.
Yeah, I'll keep that.
My dear
I was getting ready to give
the master of all presentations.
Then he tells me they've agreed.
Can you beat that?
I'm telling you!
Babe hold on there's a call coming in.
I'll call you right back. Alright cool.
Hello.
Hello, who is there?
Chimamanda.
It's me.

Please
Please don't end the call again.
Chimamanda
We need to talk.
No, we're not doing this.
Chimamanda I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
No.
I've made my peace with
your silence and the past.
Let it stay that way.
You know you're my wish ma
You give me love
wey sweet pass pami oh
So how's Nora?
I've been calling her and
she's not been picking up.
Umshe's fine.
Is she awake? Can I talk to her?
Um she's asleep.
She's awake isn't she?
Okay.
So like her mother, she
knows how to hold grudges.
You know what, give her some
time she'll come around okay.
Now, what's up.
How's our lover boy, have you guys met?
Not yet.
But I'm right now
on my way to surprise him.
Hey, Amanda, Amanda
You're still insistent on
this surprise visit thing.
And you're so vehemently
against it because?
Okay, so listen to me.
I don't have a problem
with it, but imagine if
out of the blues this guy
just shows up at our doorstep.
And at that particular point in
time you dont have make up on.
Don't get me wrong
it's not like there'll be
a disaster or anything.
But then youd love
to be at your best when
you're meeting him for the first time so
Look, I just want to meet the real him.
Right? Without any pretenses.
Okay. Well, I've said my piece.
This one that you're so
serious about meeting--
like I don't get it.
Anyway
I honestly hope this guy is
as he looks on social media.
I hope he doesn't turn
out to be an eighty plus year old man.
I've had so many video calls
with him Kemi and you know this.
Where is all this coming from?
I don't know I'm just anxious for you.
I don't know
Amanda honestly I really
want this to work.
Alright.
Thank you so much.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa slow your roll.
You have to take me to
dinner before we get to the kinky stuff.
I'll send you a picture.
Hmm
Thank you.
Oh my God, it's so good to see you.
Im so sorry.
-Oh my goodness.
-I'm so sorry.
-I'm sorry.
-Jesus.
Clumsy.
I'm sorry.
-I'll pay for that.
-No, it's okay ma'am

-But you still owe me lunch sometime okay.
-Fine, fine

I got you this.
Thank you. Come on, come and sit down.
Thank you.
Oh my gosh
I still can't believe you're here.
So have you been out in the city yet?
I have to take you around.
Not yet.
I've been very busy with
the convention I'm here for.
Oh, workaholic.
That's me.
Well, weekdays are
the best time for a tour.
It's when you get to
see the energy of the city.
Now here goes the bill sir.
Do you want to split this?
What?
Forget I asked.
You know what, I'll get it.
Here you go.
Okay.
I'll be right back.
I'm sorry I--

feminist you know
I never know what you all want.
Alright.
Okay, y'all set.
Here you go ma'am.
-Thank you very much
-Here you go sir.
Thanks.
Uh, maybe we should have some wine?
I'll pass thank you.
Look, I'm just going to address
the elephant in the room.
-About asking to split the bill--
-Michael it's fine really.

It's twenty one, fifty.
Okay.
Hey, hey don't worry about it.
I got it thank you.
Okay then.

-Bye.
-Alright.
Hey, Amanda
Amanda.

Can we hang out tomorrow?
Please?
I want to take you around the city.
I'll pick you up in the
morning and it'll be great.
Please.
I'll text you later.
And that's how I turned
and bumped into the waiter.
Everything he was carrying
spilled onto the ground.
Jesus!
I felt like the ground should
open and just swallow me. I swear.
Babe, now you see why I don't do surprises
See, If I was a bad friend
this would have been my
I told you so moment.
Shut up, useless person.
Anyway, to cut the long story short
Eh no, no
Don't cut any long story short.
Don't cut it. Give me
the full gist in details.
As a matter of fact,
give me the back story.
I'm listening, spill.
Don't you don't have to work tomorrow?
What work?

Go ahead and spill.
I'm listening to you.
Anyway, he wants to meet up tomorrow.

-Hey, won't you wake up?
-Nice to meet you.
I told you we could
sleep in you insisted on this.
I'm up, I'm up I just needed a
power nap before the real fun begins.
So funny thing
was telling Amanda
since I'm from New York
-I'll be her personal tour guide.
-Hmm
But I wouldn't want to speak over you.
Oh, I understand.
I'm also from around here,
I love going on these tours.
I really love meeting new people.
Today is your lucky day.
you're going to get three
tour guides for the price of one.
Shall we?
We can take this ride
Wherever it goes
As long as you're with me
I feel at home
Alright, so if you guys
can see right up here
on the right with a big spire is
-Oh, it's the empire state building.
-The empire state building.
You must recognize it
from the music video.
You know Jay-z and
the one with Alicia keys.
It has a hundred and two stories.
And around here we should
be able to see Time Square
and Rock-a-Fella center.
Uh-mm
They are kind of in the same area.
The Brooklyn bridge.
It took two generations
of a family to build.
The contractors started
the project in 1869
-and they finished it
-Oh, fourteen years later.
That's right.
Fun fact, around 20 to 30 people
died under this original construction.
including the original
designer of the bridge.
What was his name again?
-John A. Roebling.
-Yes, rightright.
He actually got his leg
crushed by some boat.
and they later amputated his toes.
But he later died of tetanus
and his son took over the project.
Is it eerie?
Yeah.
And here we are at time square.
Guys, this is where the ball
drops every year for new year's eve.
I don't know if you know that.
They host a lot of shows in
Broadway theaters back there.
The ball drop started in
December 31st 1907.
But we can take this ride
Wherever it goes
As long as you're with me
I feel at home
Can you tell me why
Cause I wanna know
As long as you're with me
I feel at home
I got it bad, I just wanted love
I got it bad, I just needed loving
I got it bad, I just wanted love
Someone like you
I got it bad, I just wanted love
I got it bad, I just needed loving
I got it bad, I just needed love
We can take this ride
How long did the tour guide
say we're staying here in central park?
Uh I think it was like thirty minutes.
Oh, okay.
I'm sorry I just
I had to get away from her.
I know right?
She's driving me crazy.
Crazy.
Want to take a ride in one of those?
Oh it looks really cool.
Hey, hey
Do you want to come and ride
with me in one of these things?
-No, thanks.
-Oh come on.
Come on you can't go on these
tours without riding one of these things.
Nah, I'll rather walk thank you.
Are you sure?
Yeah, I'll walk.
Let's get out of here.
Every time.
We can take this ride
Wherever it goes
Uh The vessel
And we're going to head over
this direction for the final--
Did you know that the highline
was actually saved from demolition
by neighborhood residence
in the city of New York.
It actually opened in 2009
as a public space where
visitors could experience nature
like if you're into art and design
and other really cool
stuff like the buildings.
Awesome
Um can you take a picture of me here?
And you can go right past
us, I just want to take a picture.
You can go.
Oh, you guys want me to
Yeah, come.
You all go ahead.
Do you want me to get in the image
-Can I --
-We don't, no, no we don't.
We're good, we're good
I did it for over a year
Oh, nice. Cool.
Alright.
Yes.
New York is so beautiful.
Yeah.
Really used to take my breath away.
Lately, not so much.
Why?
Are you jaded?
No, not
Not really.
Just
See all these millions of people
Feels like my special
someone isn't out there.
Aww
Now
But you're here.
Oh, oh, Michael.
Hey Michael.
Hey Michael, can you
help me take this picture.
Would just be a minute.
-A picture.
-Yeah.
Back here.
-I'm sorry.
-It's okay.
Uh-mm
Do you see her over there?
Young lady.
Young lady, that lady
is thirsty for your man.
You need to mark your
territory and put her in her place.
Honey.
Wait, I'm just telling the truth.
I remember when Becky tried
that nonsense back in the seventies.
I pulled out her hair and I
knocked out her front teeth
Till this day she still has bald
spots and wears veneers,
and I still have my Larry
I'm so sorry.
It's okay sir.
Uhm do you know where the restroom is?
Yeah.
-Thank you, excuse me.
-Okay.
Thank you.
Why are you trying to call
me out like that?
-I'm trying to help this child out.
-You're telling this
-thirty years old story
-And you just threw me under the bus.
Every time you tell this story.
Okay, last one here
Okay, wow.
This is so good.
Hey, we should do this again
sometime you know, just the two of us.
My friend Amanda
is special.
I'm trying to have a nice time with
her and you're getting in the way.
Stay away.
Hey, so I saw Michael on
a tour with an African lady.
Wonder what he's up to.
Dude, should I be surprised?
I mean the guy owns
the freaking touring outfit,
I don't understand why he's just
trying to pass off as a regular customer.
Two words for you bro
Nigerian.
Scam.
-Those are five words.
-You get my point.
Dude, when you're super rich like that,
you can't be concerned with
all these Nigerian guys come on.
That is some bad shit ignorance
you just spewed out of your mouth.
Look
I just call it like I see it.
Just saying.
Come on.
Hey, where have you been?
I've been looking all over for you.
What's wrong?
Why didn't you tell me that you own the
tourism outfit that has
been taking us around.
I uh
-I didnt think it was--
-Don't worry.
You won't have to deal with being
scammed by yet another Nigerian.
Goodbye Michael.
Amanda please wait.
Leave me alone or
else I'll go crazy on you right here!
Are you crazy?
I know I can be unkind
But you're not always understanding
I like to take my time
But time is what you're always chasing
I know I like to hide
Hello, are you there?
I'm here.
Okay, so after you heard what did you do?
I just told him off and left.
Hello?
Okay, he's rich.
How rich are we talking about here?
Seriously Kemi.
I just bared my soul out to you and
all you can think about is rich.
Okay.
Have you told him about Nora?
Now, look at this
Imagine if he heard you have a daughter
before you had the
opportunity of telling him,
and he reacts
this exact way you're reacting.
How would it make you feel?
You know you're not being fair right now.
No, life is not fair Amanda.
And Im your ride or die,
I should be able to tell you the
truth when you're messing up.
Like you're messing up right now babe.
Look
All I'm just trying to say is
sleep on it.
If you wake up tomorrow and
you feel the same way, that's fine.
Alright, no problem.
-I have to go, bye.
-Amanda I--
Woke up this morning
Come on, answer your phone.

Come on.
Alright.

Come on.
Look
I've been hurt so many times.
People always trying to rip me off,
even close friends.
I get close to them and they disappear.
How many times is someone
supposed to deal with that
before they protect themselves.
But I
I messed up.
And I'm truly sorry.
What can I do to make this right?
I'm not going to let you go.
So um
when you got here if
you had found out that
Ive gone to the airport,
were you going to do
the whole romcom clich thing of
chasing me down, and delivering
a heart felt romantic speech?
That was the plan.
Look
I would have surprised you.
Do you think this is a movie?
There's no harm in trying.
So
I take it my pidgin is getting better?
Like absolutely excellent.
Oh my goodness.
Wow

-Okay.
-Then why are you so impressed?
-I'm just saying that
this particular one is really tall.
-Oh okay
-Yeah
It all right, they're taller.
What?
I know it's a shot in the dark.
But
I'm going to put it out there

We just started warming up to each other.
I feel like
We just started being honest, I want

-Thinking
Just saying.
-It's insanity, that's what that is
-I know right.
Whatever.
And so,
now that you have finally
emotionally blackmailed me
into staying a few more days,
what's the plan?
Well
I'd like to take you to a place
where I only take the closest people.
Hmm
You'd love it.
But, you'd find it hard to leave.
Okay, okay.
So, where is this magical place?
My home.
Uh-mm, Okay.
I'm.
I'm going to have to tell you something.
Okay.
At least, you can tell me anything.
I
Amanda, you can trust me.
You can feel safe.
I mean
Unless
Please don't tell me you're a vegetarian
I can't deal.
Stop making me laugh.
Um
So the thing is
I have a daughter.
Alright.
And?
That's it.
I have a daughter.
I--
I I
I don't understand, what
What are you expecting?
That's meant to be a
deal breaker for guys right?
What guys have you been hanging out with?
Are you serious?
Is this a Nigerian thing?
Do guys over there they justcome on.
They just run away?
You're not joking with me right now?
No I'm not, like are you for real?
You're making me worried about
who you've been spending your time with,
because this doesn't make sense to me.
It's like
my opinion of
kind of questioning.
I'd love to meet your daughter.
What's her name?
Chimnoram.
Chim
Can I just say "Nora"?
Yeah
I was just messing with you,
that's what everybody calls her.
-I guess.
-So Chimnoram means
"As long as God is in control,
everything will be okay".
It's deep.
Wish I had a Nigerian name,
could be Nigerian
-I guess I'd have to be black first right?
-Yes, that.
There is that
Nora.
I guess she's a lovely girl.
Just like her mum.
What?
You had me thinking
we were going to be out,
burying a body together or something.
And then I find out you have a daughter.
You're weird.
No, come here, come here.
I want to be
A part of, each and
every part of your life.
In totality.
Come here.
You're going to make me cry.
Let's go.
Fine day isn't it?
Yeah.
It's beautiful.
Right?
-This is us, my old and faithful.
-Oh
Texas?
Long story.
Let's go get your bag.
Okay.
Alright.
-So gentlemanly
-There you go, I do what I can.
Thank you.
Let's just take a ride along the bay
We don't need to work
We can sit around and play
After waiting for so long to get away
Baby don't hold back,
All you gotta do is say
What would you like
To be satisfied with me
I've been counting moments of love
I've been catching signs from above
All I wanna do is satisfy you
Baby all you want is
To be satisfied with me
Um, how much further are we going?
Oh, we'll be there soon.
My little slice of heaven,
you're gonna love it.
Why do you think so?
So, you remember that blog entry
you wrote about your bucket list?
And on it, there was cabin in the woods.
Have you really read all my blog posts?
Of course.
Look, I think you're a great writer.
To be honest,
I'm kind of hoping you might
write an article while we're here.
Witness greatness at work.
Be careful what you wish for
Yeah
Alright.
That's what I'm talking about.
Finger crossed, no promises.
Okay.
You get me all excited now.
We've been drinking
Champagne on the beach of Malibu
Cruising down the boulevard
Kissing in the back seat of the car
Making love under the stars
How would you like
To be satisfied with me
I've been counting moments of love
I've been catching signs from above
All I wanna do is satisfy you
Baby all you want is
To be satisfied with me
It's like the middle of nowhere.
Don't like the mountains?
-It's beautiful right?
-New experience.
Alright.
All I wanna do is satisfy you
Baby all you want is
To be satisfied with me
After you.
Whoa.
This is another romcom clich but
Welcome to my humble abode.
So
Nice.
Whoa
Wow
That's a lot of dead animals.
Well, I can't take credit for all of them.
But it's home.
No, no, no It's okay, it's okay.
It's just Edna.
She
She takes care of the house for me.
Oh
She's known me since I was an errant teen.
Edna, you can not be
sneaking up on us like that.
No, it's okay.
It's okay she
It's fine, no problem.
So you're taking her side now?
Edna?
This is Amanda, she's our guest.
Nice to meet you ma.
Um Edna.
She not the most talkative.
I really should let her go but,
I keep her around because
she doesn't have anyone.
She's like me.
Aww
But, let's get you moved in.
For all the pain that you have caused me.
That child you're carrying
will cause you so much pain.
So much more.
So much more pain.
More.
No, no, no
More
What happened?
I had a nightmare.
Come here.
Do you want to talk about it?
So what your father said.
The curse.
It sounds like it did some
serious emotional damage.
Sometimes I
My daughter Nora
I feel like maybe my dad's
curse is in effect, you know?
She's always so moody
and so defiant, like I
I think she hates me.
That's just a teenager, it's normal.
They're always abnormal.
What your dad said, that's
That's just the pained words
of a control freak parent.
What you want to do,
what you want to believe,
that's all that matters.
Thank you.
Doctor Phil.
You're welcome ma'am.
-I think I'm more a Tony Robbins guy.
-Um-hmm
-I hear you.
-Yeah.
It has been,
so long
since I've been this happy.
I finally feel at peace.
With everything that
happened to you in Nigeria,
I just want you to stay,
I can take care of you.
You complete me.
I'm never letting you go.
Never.
My stomach just growled.
I need food.
I'll go serve dinner, okay?
Aww so romantic.
You just relax here.
-Go
-Jesus!
Good evening Edna.
Go
Ah
I hope you enjoyed dinner?
I did.
Thank you.
Yeah.
So when are we leaving for
the airport tomorrow morning?
It's a long way out here.
I don't want to be late for my flight.
Well
I was hoping you'd stay a little longer.
Seriously.
Whatever the charge
is to change it, I'll take care of it.
Actually,
I originally booked
two weeks for this trip.
-But
-No buts.
My travel agent will handle it.
But Nora.
I need to get back to my daughter.
She's not talking to me right now.
Pulling a Nora card that's pretty low.
No
-Alright
-Come on.
Alright.
We'll leave first thing in the morning.
There you go.
Somebody is missing me already.
Yes.
Alright, I'll take this.
Leave it, I'll get it.
Why not, I'm not doing anything
right now, and you made dinner
so
Go freshen up.
It's your last night after all
-Okay.
-Go on.
Yeah.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
I just had a little bit too much.
Amanda!
Thank God, you're awake.
Come here.
Edna.
You have to stop scaring
my guest, please leave.
I'm sorry about that.
How are you feeling?
My head hurts.
What time is it?
It's about 9am.
-My flight
-No, no you can't
You can't go on a trip right now.
I've called my doctor.
He's on his way down to see you now.
-Yes, but I--
-I understand
I understand, I do.
You can't go on a long
trip right now, I won't allow it.
I'm going to get you better.
Okay, you'll be back
on your feet in no time.
You can jet off to see your Nora.
Yes but I--

But you have to get well first.
-Yes, please.
-Yes.

Stressing will not make it any better.

I'm here to take care of you.
I'll be here till the very end.
Hey pumpkin, you're not sleeping?
Have you spoken to mum?
I've been calling her
but she's not answering.
Nora, I'm sure she's
very busy. She's fine.
Don't worry she'll call you tomorrow okay.
Okay.
Now, go grab some sleep
and stop worrying your pretty head.
I love you.
Hey Amanda.
Again?
Babe, what's going on?
What's up with this radio
silence? I don't understand.
Nora and I have been
trying to reach you for like
forever and nothing
You didn't even think to send us
a simple message on WhatsApp.
It doesn't make sense.
You can't just meet a
man and forget about us.
Is the "thing" really that good?
Oh
Um
So, your mum came.
And your sister.
And they said something like
you blocked them.
Babe, honestly I hope you're fine.
Whatever it is, just
buzz us when you can, okay?
And greet hubby for us.
I miss you, I miss you.
Bye
Baby, you're looking so much better today.
It's time for soup.
It's really helping you get better.
-No
-Come on.
-Come on, I'll sit you up.
-No
Come on.
-There we go.
-Babe
Yeah.
Please take me back.
You need to eat, you
need to regain your strength.
Please, I need to go back.
My daughter.
They'll be worried about me.
-Please.
-We'll go.
We'll go.
We just have to get you stronger.
You promise?
Cross my heart.
I love you.
Now come on.
Just a little bit of soup.
My phone
My phone.
Edna?
My phone.
Please do you know where my phone is?
Edna my phone.
There you are.
You had us worried, what happened?
I saw her.
I saw her.
You saw who? Edna?
Liz.
I saw
I saw her.
Liz?
This is worse than I thought.
You you're hallucinating.
No.
Ask, Edna saw
Ask Edna.
Edna
Was someone here?
You saw her.
You saw her.
You saw her.
We'll need to get you to a hospital.
Please, my phone.
Do you have it?
Yes, it's with me.
Okay.
Please I need it.
Okay.
Give me a second.
Michael.
Michael, did
Did you lock the door?
Back to bed dear.
Michael.
Please.
Open the door.
I can't.
It's for your own safety,
you're hallucinating now.
Michael, you don't know that.
You're not a doctor, I
need a doctor please.
I used to be a paramedic.
I know a thing or two.
Oh, let me out
Please, let me out.
Please
Get some rest dear.
Please
Please, let me out.
Michael.
Michael.
Who's there?
No time
Quick, come, come
Edna?
Edna.
Edna.
Hey, please you need to be quiet.
I'm trying to help you.
Your life is in danger, we
need to get out of here now.
Several women, mostly Nigerian,
arrive the states then disappear.
Michael is our prime suspect.
They can all be traced to him as the
last contact before he went missing.
He is sick.
We need to get out of here now. Before--
Don't move!
What's going on.
Im detective Sanders
and youre under arrest.
Arrest? But what for?
The kidnapping of Amanda Abraham.
Don't be ridiculous.
I will shoot you if you
move any closer right now.
Like Amanda, most of the women you
bring here are never heard from again.
-You killed them.
-What!
Get on your knees.
Amanda.
Are you okay?
-Did she hurt you?
-Get on your knees.
Don't be afraid,
it's all going to be fine.
But don't listen to her.
I had some of my guys
look into her she's a nutcase.
-Shut up.
-She obsesses over men,
She stalks them
-Shut up.
-some of them have been killed.
That badge is fake.
He's lyingI to--
Stay down.
No time.
Quick.
Sweetie where are you going?
Go.
Edna.
After all Ive done for you.
Keeping you on when no one else would.
Go.
No time, go!
-I'm not going without you Edna.
-You trust her?
You trust her more than you trust me?
She's been there for
every one of the girls.
She's my family.
I'm the only family she has.
Say what you want.
You will not kill this girl too.
You, you'll have to go through me.
What will you do?
Hmm?
Amanda, go.
Come back to me and we'll
be normal again. I promise.
Nothing is normal with us.
You make me do evil.
Because I have no choice.
It stops now.
Amanda!
Amanda!
Amanda!
Amanda!
There's no one else out here but us.
You can go on for days
and not get anywhere.
Amanda!
I don't want to shoot you Amanda.
I just want to talk, I
don't want to kill you.
Amanda!
I hoped, I really prayed.
You said you would stay with me.
I showed you nothing but love.
and just like the
others, you want to leave me.
Why am I so hard to love?
Why are you leaving after all we shared?
Don't move.
I love you.
I swear it.
Don't cry, no, no, no
Don't cry.
I don't want to see you cry.
You made me mad
because you made me kill Edna.
She was all I had.
And you made me kill her.
But you know what?
I'll forgive you.
I'll forgive you.
If you promise not to run away again.
Okay, okay, I promise.
I'll get rid of the gun.
-You promise?
-I promise.
I promise.
Can you see?
I knew you'll come back.
You forgot me.
Don't worry, just let it happen.
This time you won't wake up.
He's been linked to the
disappearance of over fifteen women.
What?
Most of them Nigerian.
Most of them we will discover
when forensics is done.
They lye in those shallow graves
that you noticed in the woods.
So, did he get them all
through his touring company?
He never owned a touring company.
We've arrested a couple of men who he paid
to make women believe he's rich.
He doesn't own anything.
This cabin
belongs to the first victim he killed.
Thanks to Liz's
passion and doggedness
this could have gone on for much longer.
So is there anyone else
that you've seen with him?
Anyone at all that could be in on this.
Apart from Edna, he
did say he had no family.
No, he never had family.
He grew up in an orphanage
that he fled from as a teenager
to avoid therapy sessions and
treatments for his mental disorder.
Oh my goodness.
Wait
There was a lady I met
with him in New York.
He said that she was he's cousin, Natasha.
Not a blood relative.
They grew up in the orphanage together.
That's what they called each other
at the orphanage "cousins"
Yeah, we've spoken to her.
She's given us the back
story on his time there.
She's terribly shocked by all this,
and swears she thought he
was in treatment this whole time.
Wow.
So
Why Nigerian women?
Well, we're still gathering information
but we've contacted the Nigerian Embassy.
They are on standby
to take care of whatever
it is that you might need
before you return home.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so, so much.
Is there anything else I
can do for you right now?
I need to get this.
Excuse me.
Hello babe.
Hello.
Babe, what's going on?
Why did you just abandon everybody?
Was the "thing" really that good?
Long story.
Can I talk to Nora please?
Wait
Babe are you okay?
Look, I'll gist you later,
can I just talk to my baby?
Yeah, yeah hold on.
Mummy.
Hello.
Mummy are you okay?
Mummy I'm so sorry, I've
been worried about you.
I love you so, so much.
I'm sorry too, I miss you.
I'm coming home.
Ah-ah

-Oh my God.
-You like?
-This is beautiful.
-Eh, I like it too.
-Oh
But I like this one too.
Yeah but this, this, this is like
like it suits my skin color.
Yay, I'm getting married.
Look at me.
-But this is nice.
-I am getting married.
-Okay, this one is for you?
-Your father and for the entire family.
Okay.
-Your father too.
-Okay.
-Your father, me, and you.
-Okay
