[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
[IN PIDGIN] We understand each other.
- Mm.
I trust you, man.
Oh! Bro!
Damn!
Whoo!
[MEN LAUGHING]
I'll catch you, bro.
Yeah.
- I can't find my ring. Can you check inside?
- Alright. I'll check it.
Thank you.
Fuck.
Shit.
- [WOMAN] Mm. [CHUCKLES]
- [CLICKING TONGUE]
You see, sir, I... I... I told you.
My girls, they... they don't steal.
[WOMAN CHUCKLES]
Look... you must understand my position.
I'm the bodyguard for my client,
and this loss will be on me.
May I search her myself?
If I'm wrong,
I'll make amends.
[CHUCKLES] Okay.
Allow him.
[IN PIDGIN] I don't understand.
Are you crazy?
What is that? Calm down.
It's not going to take long. Just...
[CHUCKLING SOFTLY]
Open your arms.
[CLICKS TONGUE]
- Spread your legs, please.
- [WOMAN] Oh. [CHUCKLES]
[GRUNTS SOFTLY]
[IN PIDGIN] Haven't you finished touching?
You have been touching my body...
That's enough!
- [CLICKS TONGUE]
- [MAN SIGHS]
[DRAMATIC STING]
[GASPS]
- Um...
- Frances, Frances,
- I swear, I didn't even see...
- [WOMAN] I didn't see any ring.
- [FRANCES] Shut, shut...
Sir, I'm so... I'm so sorry.
This doesn't happen.
You know?
It's... It's not normal and I'm sorry.
- Frances... Hey...
- I'm really sorry about... This is...
My client... will be very happy... [EXHALES]
- [FRANCES] Sir, please.
- ...to get his ring back.
[FRANCES] Please, sir, I am sorry.
This does not happen in my establishment.
I'm so... I'm sorry, sir, please.
- Frances, I swear...
- Shut up!
Shut... up before I...
[IN PIDGIN] Did you see what happened?
Do you all see it?
How many times
have I warned you all about stealing?
- Stealing!
[IN PIDGIN] You want
the police to raid my place.
That's what you want, right?
[IN PIDGIN] I didn't touch anything.
Don't say anything.
That's enough. Pack your things and leave.
[IN PIDGIN] Do you hear me? Leave!
What is it? What is this?
Frances?
You don't want to leave?
Are you mad? Leave now!
It is you who is mad!
It is God that will punish you!
- See her? You've grown wings?
- Think it's easy to be naked for 24 hours?
Think it's easy to dance?
- How much do you give me?
- How much do you give me?
- With this bony body, how much?
- What have you done?
You are mad! Please, leave!
- Security!
- I won't leave!
- Take this rubbish out!
- I'll stay!
Leave! Are you mad?
- Security, take her away! You are mad!
- I'm not leaving!
Give me that wig! Give it to me!
Nonsense!
["POPSHIT" BY SGAWD

I can't wait to pop shit
I can't wait to pop shit...
I'm about to go in, Donna. Wish me luck.
[DONNA] You don't need it, girl.
Give them hell, Hell.
And tell me all about it
when you come back. Mwah! X-O-X-O.
I will.
Kiss, kiss.
Niggas keep actin sheisty

Hi, Mom.

My own decisions

Soma, where are you, Soma?
Soma, where are you, Soma?
Why you so much, so much?
Why you so much, so much?
Why you get in my touch?
Why you get in my luck?
Why you ruin my luck?
I can't wait to pop shit
I can't wait to pop shit

I can't wait to pop shit
I can't wait to pop shit

Just in case you blow
Bitch, I'm bad as fuck with no remorse
Hardest rapper bitch in Gidi
So he gon' endorse me
Niggas married to the cap...
Louise darling, how's it going?
[LOUISE] Not good. Not good at all, Donna.
Donna, I don't think I can do it.
[DONNA] Of course you can.
Morning, Donna.
[DONNA] Listen up, it's not as if
you haven't done this before, is it?
Well, come...
[DONNA CHUCKLES, SIGHS]
Mm.
Listen.
Louise, like I said before,
it's not as if
you haven't done this before.
[LOUISE] Oh my God,
Donna, have you seen Fadi?
He's so big!
If this guy brings this thing close to me,
I swear to God, Donna,
I will cut it off myself.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Let me speak with him.
I got your nigga, bitch
Yeah, he mine now
Gossiping and hating niggas
Running from my town...
[DONNA] Hello, Fadi.
She has never done it before,Fadi.
Go easy.
[FADI]Ah, you cheat me, Donna,
but I understand, trust me.
I'll be a perfect gentleman.
[SIGHS DEEPLY]
I trust you,Fadi. Let me speak with her.
What?
Use the back door spray.
[CLICKS TONGUE] Oh, go and die, Donna!
I can't wait to pop shit
I can't wait to pop shit
I can't wait to pop shit
[SONG FADES]
[PHONE VIBRATING, RINGING]
[TOMMY] Um, there's some ladies
out here waiting to see you.
Apparently... Frances sent them.
[ALL] Good day, Ma.
[WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh God.
- We're scraping the bottom of the barrel.
- Apparently.
[DONNA SIGHS] Uh...
[INHALES DEEPLY]
Cheap perfume.
Is that horse hair?
What do you want?
I'm asking you a question.
What do you want?
Connection.
Okay.
Upgrade.
[TOMMY] Oh...
Any CV?
Ah...
Academic qualifications?
Bachelor's degree, Master's degree?
Have you been to polytechnic?
A high school certificate? Primary school?
Anything, show me something.
Or you think you'll just saunter
into my establishment like that,
and I'll hire you?
What kind of establishment
do you think I'm running?
[IN PIDGIN] Aunty, Aunty,
please don't be upset.
Frances said you were looking
for new girls, that's why we...
I do not know any Frances.
And certainly, I'd never hire your kind.
[BREATHES DEEPLY]
[PHONE CLUNKS ON TABLE]
Leave.
[MOUTHING] Please...
[IN PIDGIN] Do you want
to take off your clothes?
What do you want? You want to strip here?
Please leave.
You want a job as a sex worker,
dressing like this in my establishment?
Emmanuella, come, let's go.
- [CLICKS TONGUE]
- You will fall.
- [EMMANUELLA] I barely...
- I'll see them out.
- Have you got any air freshener?
- [TOMMY] Of course.
Or incense? Clear the energy.
- Can you imagine? Stupid idiot!
- [IN PIDGIN] Aren't we human?
[IN PIDGIN] I'm just trying to get a job!
- You're not God, you're a sex worker!
- Let's go.
- Let's go! What is it?
- May God punish you all!
- Emmanuella, come, let's go.
- ["NOWHERE TO RUN" BY DAMI ONIRU PLAYING]
- Emmanuella! Where you going?
- I'm struggling to find
Emmanuella!
- Myself
- [IN PIDGIN] What nonsense is this?
Had to find the missing piece
Now I'm hurting on the inside
I reach out my arms...
- [IN PIDGIN] Wait!
You wanted to see my degree? I have one!
Three-year degree in "hustleology",
after one stupid boy made my own mother
send me away from the village.
I take care of three younger siblings.
I pay their bills.
There's no place I haven't slept in Lagos.
I've slept under the bridge,
inside Panti, on the road.
I've had sex with boys, girls.
I've had way too much sex for my age.
But I know I'm still attractive.
I'm not complaining.
I just want to get to the level I need,
and time is running out.
Sis, you and I know.
We know that packaging
is what separates you and I.
If you ask to see the kind of work
I came here for, I'll show you.
It's a small thing.
I've got no time for tears
There's only space for greatness here...
Donna?
[DONNA] Mm.
Emmanuella.
I like Emma.
It's classier.
I know with you I've got
The whole world by my side
Now, I've got peace of mind...
Thank you, Ma!
I hope God blesses you!
Thank you!
[EXCLAIMS]
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide...
Thank you! I'm going.
Ma, but you don't have my details.
Tommy will reach you.
[IN PIDGIN] Ma, thank you.
May God bless you.
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
I feel the power, I feel it inside
Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
I feel the power, I feel it inside
- [SONG FADING]
- Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide
I feel the power, I feel it inside
[POLICE SIREN WAILING]
[LAUGHS]
- Donna, Donna!
- Chief, Chief!
[CHUCKLES]
When did you get back?
- Oh, well, not too long.
- Oh.
And, um,
I bought you a little something.
[CHUCKLES]
Ah...
Thank you.
Table.
Okay.
Donna, Donna.
- What?
- Donna!
[LAUGHS]
You are just too smart! Never mind.
It's not for you,
just a token for the girls.
- Mm?
- Oh.
Another get-together?
- A party?
- Of course! Yes. A get-together.
Any special requests?
You know that that affects the pricing.
[LAUGHS]
- Answer the question.
- [SIGHS]
Huh?
Answer the question.
Oh, well, there is nothing
that, um, has never been requested before.
Mm.
Uh, just a get-together amongst friends.
[CLAPS] Very important friends.
So, charge what you want.
- [CLICKS TONGUE] All right.
- [CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
And the, uh, interior design contract
for the new estate you're building?
Donna, that deal is for my wife.
You know that.
Donna doesn't care.
[SIGHS] Mm.
- Donna.
- Mm?
You know, how can I ever say no to you?
- [DONNA] Hmm.
- Hmm?
[CHUCKLES]
Okay, but first,
I will give you my special gift to you.
Hmm?
[SNAPS FINGERS]
Yes.
["BUGA" BY LARRY GAAGA

Uh-huh, yeah
- Mr. Chyke on the microphone
- [MAN CHUCKLES]
Larry Gaaga
See?
[LAUGHS]
That's better.
Yes.
[SONG CONTINUES]
[PHONE RINGING]
[GRUNTING SOFTLY]
What?
Fifty missed calls?
From Jemma?
Wait a minute.
Huh. Jemma?
I remember that name from way back.
- Ah, fun times!
- Mm-hmm.
Ah...
Wasn't she your friend?
[SMACKS LIPS] More like my sister.
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYS]
- Yeah.
- Until she did something unforgivable.
And what is that?
She broke the number one rule.
[MONITOR BEEPING STEADILY]
[DOCTOR]Jemma... the doctors
have looked at him,
and the prognosis...
I refuse it.
I refuse to hear this, Doctor.
I'm not even listening to you.
[DOCTOR SIGHS]
[JEMMA] Ese, come.
Cheer up, okay?
Hmm?
[JEMMA SIGHS]
["4AMIN" BY AY FEATURING SOLIS PLAYS]
[MUSIC FADES]
[IMPERCEPTIBLE]
Welcome home, Ma.
Lati, how are you?
- I'm fine.
- Here, have this one.
- Thank you.
- First...
[EXHALES]
That's better.
Thank you.
[SAD MUSIC PLAYS]
Today's our anniversary.
[DONNA] Balloons.
Cake.
And a bottle of bubbly.
How cute.
- So sweet.
- Donna, stop.
Just stop.
This...
Is that a new necklace?
Oh, not again.
Donna.
Donna!
Donna, get back here.
[CLICKS TONGUE]
[IN PIDGIN] Lulu, how's it going, beauty?
Baby, it's time to sleep,
so I thought I should call
and say good night. You know?
[LAUGHS]
[HAILING]
[IN PIDGIN] Looks like
you went out, right?
this networking event I had to go for.
I'm so tired,
I just want to sleep, my love.
Hey! Baby, you're working too hard.
I'm just trying to make sure
your stay over there
is even more bearable, hmm, my love.
[CHUCKLING] Hey! Lulu, my baby!
You know you can help make my stay...
[IN PIDGIN] How's it going? [LAUGHS]
[MUTTERING]
You're my wife!
You're my wife! You're my wife!
Can't I have
a little pleasure with my wife?
[IN IGBO] What is it?
Give me something! [SMACKS LIPS]
look at your mouth.
[IN PIDGIN] Baby, just a little, okay?
Uh-huh. [LAUGHS]
Hey! Hey! Eh! Eh! Eh! Eh!
Baby, the other one.
Give me the other one.
[EXCLAIMS IN IGBO]
I salute...

Eva...
Eva...
[INTRIGUING MUSIC PLAYS]
After all these years,
haven't we gone past this already?
You and I are quite alike, you know?
Apart from your fashion sense.
- [SCOFFS] Donna?
- Mm-hmm?
We're nothing alike.
Oh, yes, we are.
We both screw Chief for what we can get.
You suck on one ball,
and I squeeze the other.
Is that Nkem's necklace?
[SCOFFS]
- Donna.
- Uh-huh?
Stay away from my deals.
Keep your claws off my husband.
[GROWLS]
- You and your filthy whores.
- [WHIMPERS]
Let's go.
[WOMEN CLICK TONGUES]
She brings the cavalry to threaten Donna.
[CHUCKLES]
[BLEATING]
- [ALICE] Sister!
- [BENJI] Sister!
- Alice!
- Sister!
- Benji!
- Sister!
[IN PIDGIN] Why are you both here?
- We can't go to school, no school fees.
[BENJI] Sister, we are hungry.
[ALICE] And Mama
doesn't even care about us at all.
[BENJI] Even my JAMB, my...
[ALICE] I have Junior WAEC.
Everybody is already preparing.
[BENJI IN PIDGIN] My friends
are in school right now.
What are we going to do?
- We can't live like this.
- I'm thinking of what to eat.
[DONNA] Welcome to Donna Interiors.
Leave a message after the beep,
and we'll get back to you.
Um, hello, Donna.
[IN PIDGIN] It is I, Emmanuella.
[IN PIDGIN] I just called to say thank you
for the number you gave me last time.
[IN PIDGIN] I can come to your office.
I'm just home doing nothing. [CHUCKLES]
If you wanna check my Instagram,
my Instagram name is
"PrettyEmmaTheStallionNickiMinaj
- PlusKimk"...
- [LINE BEEPING]
[EXCLAIMS]
Why does this thing cut off like this?
For two weeks,
I've called her, and every time...
["LOOK AROUND YOU!" BY SEO PLAYS]
Are there still flowers where you lay?
Things devour all we made
I won't paint the picture for you...
Thank you.
It's okay.
- Thank you very much.
- It's okay.
Let me guess, you work for Donna?
Hmm!
[IN PIDGIN] I don't know anymore.
I came two weeks ago for an interview,
and she hasn't called me back,
so I don't know.
Then the useless people
in this office won't let me in.
I don't know anymore. I'm tired.
can I give you advice?
Mm.
Find yourself a job, okay?
- A real one.
- [CHUCKLES]
With all due respect, Ma...
[IN PIDGIN] I am tired
of people who are fully fed
telling people like me who are hungry
not to eat because the food isn't sweet.
Okay, follow me.
I won't paint the picture for you
[SONG FADES]
- Jemma!
- Tommy!
- How has it been? You look so good!
- [CHUCKLES]
- It's so good to see you!How are you?
- Aw.
Mwah! You look gorgeous as ever.
And you have grown so much, Tommy.
Of course, you left me on this street.
- [CHUCKLES]
- So good to see you!
Remember me?
Anyway, um, Donna's not on seat,
but I'll take you where she is.
- Okay.
- Let's go. Look at you, lovely.
Yeah. You, wait here.
So I've just been like,
"Wash your things."
She gives every one a scrub...
[JEMMA] I know. I know. I know.
Yes.
[SIGHS]
[DONNA] You look well.
- Well, thanks.
- How's Desmond?
He's recovering well. How's Kenneth?
Copacetic.
So you're not going to ask
of your godson anymore?
How's Ese?
He's well, he turned 12 last month.
[CHUCKLES]
- Big boy.
- Mm-hmm.
[CLAPS LOUDLY] So what do you want?
Really?
[SCOFFS]
I mean, you've not been
returning any of my calls.
I didn't know what to do.
I had to come here.
Look, I... I know you're quite upset
about the way I left things in the past,
but I don't have any regrets
doing what I did.
I don't have any regrets marrying Desmond.
I don't have any regret loving him...
And how is that going?
You can be honest.
Don't lie.
I can tell that Gucci,
it's five seasons ago.
[CHUCKLES]
Oh, hey, Tommy.
Hi, darling.
Mwah! Mwah!
- You look gorgeous as ever. [CHUCKLES]
- As always.
[BOTH CHUCKLE AWKWARDLY]
Where's Donna?
Is that... the Jemma?
[CLICKS TONGUE] It's Jemma.
Ew!
I thought she had more style.
- Who's that?
- [WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYS]
Ew. Jemma. She's old.
- I said so. Mm.
- Mm!
Old?
[CHUCKLES] Yes.
- Old? [CHUCKLES DERISIVELY]
- Yes, Tommy.
Now let me school you girls for a second.
You both cannot afford to disrespect
the queens that have walked
this path before you.
- Here we go again.
- They are your mothers, yes.
Jemma?
Jemma that was dating
the President of an African country.
None of you could stand beside her.
She was a force.
Every time she visited him,
it was an arrival.
Not even the first lady could arrive
like that with escorts everywhere.
You're joking with me.
She was that girl.
"Old."
- The audacity!
- Hmm.
- [LAUGHING]
- "Was..."
Babe, you know what they say?
Once a has-been,
- always a has-been. [LAUGHING]
- Always a has-been! Eh!
Oh my God.
Oh...
[SIGHS]
Yeah, um, excuse me,
but, um, I normally sit there, so scoot.
[IN PIDGIN] There are
other chairs you can sit on.
[CLEARS THROAT] ...the sunlight
gets in my eyes, so move.
[PAPER RUSTLING]
Here is the deed to my land.
I want to sell it.
[SIGHS]
[SIGHS]
It's not even in a choice part of town.
[SIGHS]
I thought Desmond
had property on Maitama's Hill.
Ah.
All gone.
Despite his love for you,
he couldn't save for the rainy day,
could he? He couldn't...
He lacks the common sense
- to provide for moments like this...
- Donna!
[SCOFFS]
[WHIMSICAL MUSIC PLAYS]
- [SCOFFS]
- [LAUGHS]
I don't know
why you're making such a bloody fuss.
Like, I did ask nicely.
[IN PIDGIN] Because they write
your name on the bloody chair?
Why don't you look for a seat?
[HELL GASPS]
- Ugh. Tommy... who is this bitch?
- [CHUCKLING]
Just play nice, girls. That's all.
- [HELL GASPS]
- Hoo!
You know what?
You can insult me all you want to.
I probably deserve it,
but leave my husband out of this.
I can loan you the money,
but first you have to do one thing for me.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]
Chief...
Your Chief is throwing a party.
[JEMMA SIGHING]
Donna, you have the money.
Just... give it to me.
Oh.
[IN PIDGIN] I should
take my vagina to do sex work,
then give you the money?
Can't you take yours to do the same?
it's not the same thing?
Why don't you ask
your old boyfriends for money?
Ah, I see, you already asked,
and they asked
to sleep with you, didn't they?
Do this one thing for me, Jemma.
At least you'll be on your own terms.
It's just one party...Jemma.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
[IN PIDGIN] If you aren't sellable
or you do not get offers...
something going for you.
I'll give you the money for free.
Deal?
Donna, I am actually flattered
that you think me irreplaceable.
But my stand remains the same.
No.
"Irreplaceable."
That's rich.
- [ALL ARGUING]
- [TOMMY] What is this?
Fuck you. I'll send you back to the gutter
where you came from, you stupid bitch!
What is this? Get it together!
[GRUNTS DISDAINFULLY]
Who let her in?
[CLEARS THROAT] Jemma.
Everyone's replaceable.
All right.
Tommy,
fix her.
["THIS LIFE" BY LARRY GAAGA FEATURING
UMU OBILIGBO, D'BANJ & PATORANKING PLAYS]
Follow me.
Donna, I don't have where...
[IN PIDGIN] My things are scattered,
I don't know where I'll sleep...
You look a right mess.
[SONG CONTINUES]
[IMPERCEPTIBLE]
- Oh. Thank you.
- [EXCLAIMS]
[WHIMPERS]
[SCOFFS] You're clear.
Ah!
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
[SONG CONTINUES]
Look at you.
- [CHUCKLES]
- This baby is a spec.
[GASPING]
Hey!
[SCREAMS] Yay!
[LAUGHS]
[MUTTERING IN HIGH VOICE]
- [IN PIDGIN] That doesn't smell nice.
[IN PIDGIN] This place is fine!
it's where we shop.
- Hey. "It's where we shop."
- Ooh! My favorite.
[IN PIDGIN] Hey! I'm taking all these.
I'll pack them.
When will I get an opportunity like this?
- [IN PIDGIN] Is this Dolce?
What is wrong with you, Emma?
See, you're a bad bitch now,
and you must act accordingly.
When you get to a store like this,
you pick up a scent.
You take a tester,
you test and you inhale.
- Huh? That's how bad bitches do it.
- Okay.
Try to find one you'll like.
Okay, I think I like this one for you,
so you're gonna keep this one.
- [LAUGHS]
- Um...
[IN PIDGIN] Tommy, stop, please.
- Wait, this is 200, right?
- [IN PIDGIN] Two hundred thousand?
- Yeah.
- It's worth a year's pay!
[IN PIDGIN] I can't take
that kind of perfume.
Thank you, but I can't.
- What do you know?
- [LAUGHS NERVOUSLY, MUTTERS]
[IN PIDGIN] My favorite color is pink.
When I worked in a strip club,
- I always wore pink.
- Shh.
It's my favorite color.
What's wrong with you?
- [LAUGHS]
- [SIGHS]
This one.
- Yes.
- This is the one.
Take and replicate.
- [IN PIDGIN] What we did over there?
- You pick it.
- Yeah.
Spray it and you inh...
[INHALES DEEPLY, EXHALES]
[IN PIDGIN] I told you I can do it.
You just don't believe in me.
[SHRIEKS]
Hey.
But I said it,
I saw that this would be my life.
into the store and... [INHALES] ...inhale it.
[IN PIDGIN] What is it you called me?
What did you say I am?
- I'm a bad bitch!
[SONG CONTINUES]
[IMPERCEPTIBLE]
[GASPS]
- That's the look.
- Yes.
[IMPERCEPTIBLE]
- [SONG CONTINUES]
- [IMPERCEPTIBLE]
- Oh my God, I'm gonna cry.
- I love it.
This is a designer's dream.
- Yup, you killed it.
- This is my creation?
- [GASPS] She looks amazing!
- She looks like...
Help me! It's yes, yes! Slay me more!
- [PHONE RINGING]
- You are snatched from here to Zimbabwe!
I know, right? Tell me about it!
- Where's her waist? I can't find it!
- Hello?
Baby, guess what?
I wanted to surprise you.
Huh?
I had to come down.
Huh?!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
Your wonderful husband is in Naija.
[LAUGHS]
[IN IGBO] Lulu, my baby!
[MUSIC CONTINUES]
[KNOCK AT DOOR]
[DOOR CLOSES]
That's certainly an improvement.
Tommy did good as always. You like?
Ah!
Ma, thank you very much.
[IN PIDGIN] I don't know
how to thank you for everything.
Get up. That's for slaves.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY] Come, sit.
[DOOR OPENS]
- [DOOR SLAMS SHUT]
- And that's my husband, Kenneth.
- Looking for something, dear?
- New towels.
In a meeting.
Don't care.
Whereabouts are you from?
Uh, scratch that.
Life's about reinvention and recreation.
Doesn't really matter
where you're coming from,
rather where you are headed.
Kenneth darling,
can I borrow you for a second?
- ["NO LIE" BY TID PLAYS]
- What?
Please sit.
This would be
your very first lesson, Emma.

[CLICKS TONGUE SADLY]

- It's only a dance.
Dance?
Dance, Zeribe?
[IN PIDGIN] Do you think
dance is my problem?
I am a dancer,
so dance isn't my problem at all.
It's the fact that he believed
every single thing that foolish girl said.
So, it doesn't matter what I do
or how much I clean up in life,
I'll forever be a prostitute.
- And so what?
Look, whether good or bad,
everyone must find their hustle.
You risk losing him if you don't go back.
Did he send you?
[SCOFFS]
It's just that I know guys like him.
If you don't play ball, he'll replace you,
and you've come too far for that.
That's true.
[SNIFFLES]
Why do you care?
[SCOFFS]
I don't.
Mm.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
[IN PIDGIN] Looks like you're starting

Please, drop that thought.
I'm serious.
I want a real man between my legs.
Hmm?
Just give me what I want.

Are you okay?
[SHUDDERING, WHIMPERING]

He's sleeping.
Okay, that's good. Um...
I'll get... I'll get Tommy

You both go and have a shower.
You get into the guest bedroom

Okay?
We'll see a doctor later. Um...

He hurt my baby.

He hurt my baby.
- I'm sorry. I know.
- [OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS]
He... He... You know, he... he told him...
He... He said if he said anything,
he was going to kill me.
So Ese wouldn't say anything.
He was protecting me.

Try me. Don't send money.

You're a cheap prostitute, you don't know.

That I could press rewind
And turn back the hands of time
So you would be here
How I miss just being close to you
'Cause life seems so unkind
Without you here
How I wish
That I had time for me to say
How I wish
All the things that I wanted to say
How I wish
You didn't have to go away
How I wish
Your voice, your face, your smile

There's something that I want to say
I don't wanna crawl for you

[CAR DOOR OPENS]
[CAR DOOR CLOSES]
Donna.
Donna, is there something
you want to tell me?
And I want you to think very carefully.
Because I am the only one
separating the angry wolves.
They all want their money back.
What exactly does that mean?
Have a good look at me,Nkem.
You've known me all this while.
Have I ever stolen from you?
[SMACKS LIPS, INHALES]
Uh, take it easy.
You see, I trust you, Donna.
But I don't know about this, uh,Jemma.
But if you think that she knows something
about Alexander's disappearance,
all you have to do
is just to give me a note,
and I will take care of it.
You don't have to get involved.
Jemma loves Alexander.
She'd be devastated
if anything happened to him.
I thought you taught your girls
never to fall in love.
Another one bit the dust.
[CHIEF CHUCKLES]
I see.
Anyway, I think I'll have to speak
with Jemma when she comes back.
Be my guest.
[CAR DOOR CLOSES]
[EMMANUELLA] Hello?
Hello, Donna, can you hear me?
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
Well, what's going on?
Some men just came here from Chief Nkem,
and they were asking me
a lot of questions.
Donna, the world has gone mad.
[SHOUTING] Are you crazy?
Who let them in? Security!Security!
That's expensive. Ah!
The world has gone mad, Donna!
[JEMMA] Donna, thank you.
I... I don't even know what to say.
I've already lost one girl.
I don't want to lose another,
can't risk it.
You have to come back, Jemma.
I can't, Donna. You know I can't.
Jemma.
Ese can stay with family.
But you have to come back,
otherwise, you look guilty.
Jemma.
How's Ese?
[SIGHS CONTENTEDLY]
He's happy.
He's happy here.
Good.
Good.
[SMACKS LIPS] Look...
I doubt those men care about Alexander.
What they really care about
is their money.
What we must do is find those accounts.
For all the hurt and the pain
I've caused you,
I want to apologize. I'm truly sorry.
[CHUCKLES]
So Nkem has cut you off.
Let me guess, you're afraid.
Congratulations.
Now you know how it feels.
Please.
Could you... Could you ask him
to stop harassing my girls and I?
Please.
All because of what?
This thing?
I would rather watch him... destroy you all.
[MELANCHOLY MUSIC PLAYS]
Please wait.
A peace offering.
Because I don't have
furniture in my house?
This is beneath my standard.
- What kind of rubbish is this?
- It comes in a complete set.
[EVA CHUCKLES]
Donna darling,
all your money is like a spit in the ocean
compared to the Forex
Nkem and his associates
are looking for you for.
Listen, if you want to stop a shark
from eating you alive, get a bigger fish.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
- Who?
- I don't know. You'll figure someone out.
This will go nicely in my boys' quarters.
You.
Hey!
Get it delivered tomorrow,
the complete set.
[LOUISE KNOCKING] Donna!
[IN PIDGIN] Please leave!
[IN IGBO] Come, come, come!
please come downstairs.
Come down.
- [IN PIDGIN] What's wrong with you?
- [CHUCKLES HAUGHTILY]
Get out of here!
Leave.
- [IN PIDGIN] What happened?
- Donna, you fucked up!
Donna, you disappointed me.
Granted this one is new in the game,
but you and I have been
on this journey together for so long.
Donna, you didn't think to tell me?
Donna, you couldn't tell me about this?
Where do you get your info from?
So it's true!
[IN PIDGIN] You watch Netflix now.
That's why you come to my house to shout.
and speak to me in that manner.
You will not speak when I speak.
[IN PIDGIN] Can you hear me?
Don't disrespect me!
All these things you are talking about is
your concern.. Please
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]
Where are you going?
Louis, you really
have to ask that question?
You see her carrying heavy boxes,
she's running.
- And you ask where she's going?
- She can't!
You're a very silly child.
You are very silly.
[CHUCKLES]
[IN PIDGIN] We've reached this point.
Let everyone be
responsible for themselves.
Look at me, Donna.
I'm going to tell Chief
that I am not involved in this matter.
How'd you meet Chief?
I thought women stick together.
Isn't that what they say?
[IN PIDGIN] Don't look me in the eye.
We friends?
- Why didn't you tell me...
- Shut up!
- Why not tell me?
- Why should I?
That's what got us here,
you sending money to your friends abroad.
pack your bags and come.
Lati! Get my bags!
[BOTH GASP]
[MOUTHING] Oh my God!
[INHALES DEEPLY] Now I'm British,
I don't want to lose this life!
[IN PIDGIN] If I slap
that accent from your mouth,

- Please stop.
- Give me my bag!
What I'm saying is, I don't want to lose
this life that Segun can give me.

[WOMAN] Donna the Donna.
Mm.
Donna, Donna...
Welcome on board.
That is a lot you're asking of us.
Are you sure you or none of your girls
had something to do
with the accountant's disappearance?
No.
Donna...
[IN PIDGIN] A cunning man dies,
and a cunning man buries him.
unless you tell us the truth.
- Exactly.
- That is the truth.
Then you should have kept to the rule.
You look out for number one, you.
Why are you risking your life
for this Jemma girl?
Because I brought both mother and son
back into this life,
and Ese deserves his mother alive.
Look, what the cabal really want
is their money back.
All I'm asking is that you speak to them
to give me some time.
And if you do, they'll listen.
And what will we get in return
if we help you?
My eternal gratitude.
[SCOFFS, CLICKS TONGUE]
Then you will wait while we consider.
I have no time.
You will wait.

Zeribe, swear that you won't tell anyone.
- [IN PIDGIN] Or lightning will strike you.
- It's about Alexander, right?
You mentioned his name in your sleep.
Me?
I did?
Look... the gist on the ground is,
Alexander took off
with the big men's money, including Oga's.
They're all running around
like headless chickens.
Is that why you're worried?
Alexander didn't run away.
[SIGHS]
Say something. You're scaring me.
You people... have no idea
the kind of trouble you're in.
- [GASPS] But Donna said...
- Donna is covering herself,
dragging all of you inside this mess,
and she's lying.
All of your lives are in serious danger.
It's just a matter of time.
Then maybe I should tell Sheggy.
I don't have anything to do with...
Do you know how much money is missing?
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
No.
I don't.
Ten billion dollars.

I need results. Tell me what's going on.
Emma got her bodyguard to find
a hacker who can crack the flash drive.
We're currently at the warehouse now.
Bodyguards? Who authorized them?
Emma. His name is Zeribe.
Seen them together before Mr. Babalola.
They're definitely a thing.
Watch them, Tommy.
Keep your eyes peeled like a hawk.
I'll get the next available flight. Okay?
Okay. Got it.
Silly girl, Emma.
[SCOFFS] You haven't learned anything.
- [IN PIDGIN] I've made arrangements.
- Mm-hmm.
we take our share and we bounce.
Zeribe, you said you don't want anything
to do with these people's money.
You said they will kill us.
Please, I don't want to die.
There are so many places
outside this country we can go
where they can never find us.
You can even relocate
your whole family, if you want.

Oui, see.
- On this flash drive?
- I'll take it from here.
Madam,
let's talk about this... carefully.
And who might you be?
I think this is the perfect opportunity
for us to cash out.
Listen up, guys, this is the kind of money
you do not want to mess with.
Men will kill for this kind of money.
If we take their money,
they'll come after you.
Then, where will you hide?
No, you tell me.
What country?
Abroad? That's their playground.
You think they won't find you there?
I don't know, rock in sack clothing,
with your face torn off.
These men will eventually find you
and kill you and your loved ones too.
So if you want to commit suicide...
[CLICKS TONGUE] ...be my guest.
You are not taking me down with you.
You certainly are not.
Are we clear?

- It's empty, sir.
- What?
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYS]
What joke is this, Donna?
What joke is this?
That's... That's... That's what he gave...
Sir, I did exactly
what Mr. Babalola and yourself instructed.
I infiltrated, and I confirmed.
They had the flash drive all along, sir.
He's lying.
Search him.
He probably has it on him.
He wanted us to share the money and run.
That was their prerogative, sir.
Thieving bastard!
Nkem, you believe this over me?
I never stole from you.
Zeribe, this is not funny.
What are trying to do?
Give them back the flash drive now.
[IN PIDGIN] Now we are equal.
