Suspicion (2024) Movie Script

1
[wind blowing]
[gasping]
[snoring]
[fire crackling]
[man] There are many things
that happen in this life.
Good.
Bad.
[wind howling]
Sometimes, it's more
than a man can handle.
At least, that's
what you might think.
[gunshot]
Until it really happens.
[gun drops]
What have you done?
[man] And yet, you remain firm.
You still stand.
Are you leaving already?
I didn't want to wake you up.
- Alright.
- Voke, what about the money?
Um...
I will get it today.
Voke, I fly on Friday.
And today is Wednesday.
If you knew you
wouldn't get the money
you should have told me.
I wouldn't have spent
the money I came with.
I will get it today.
At this point, you
have no choice.
Nobody killed my parents.
It was an accident!
And you're sure?
Voke.
[sighs]
Voke.
Voke, you know I...
Hey, Som, Som.
[knock on door]
[child] Daddy V.
Lolu.
Hey! Big girl! Come on here.
- Good morning.
- Hi, Lolu.
I cooked for you and Daddy V.
- [Voke] Aww...
- Aww. Thank you so much.
But uh, Lolu, as you can
see, I'm not dressed.
Can you pack it and
bring it for me?
Yes.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
Alright. I'll join you
guys in a bit, yeah?
Okay
Alright. Uhm...
I'll get the money first and
we can sit and talk.
Okay.
You know I'll do
anything for you, right?
[chuckles]
You're lucky I love you.
I love you so much.
[chuckles]
Bye.
[man] Voke, stop.
Let me also eat.
Did Chisom ask about the money?
She was upset.
[clicking tongue]
But there's no problem.
I will get it today.
Bro, I know you don't
like these kind of things.
But, I really appreciate it.
When Lolu fainted, I...
Hey.
I promised you that I
would take care of her.
I carried that girl in my
arms when she was born.
That's my child.
Don't worry about it. Hm?
You're my family.
[subtle music]
Get out of here!
- Later, you'll be acting tough.
- [Rogba laughs]
I know you too well.
[upbeat music]
[man] Think about it.
- [Rogba] You're enjoying it.
- [Voke] It's a school bus.
What school bus?
Alright then, we're done.
If the police arrest
you, don't mention me.
Don't dial my number.
I cannot help you.
You're on your own.
[man] Vovo, my friend.
Vovo.
What's up?
Hey.
Chairman, boss Rogbie.
How are you doing?
- Well done.
- Well done.
- Lolu, let's go.
- How is it going?
I've been looking for you
since. Where have you been?
Any good news?
It all happened exactly
the way you mentioned.
It was the girl who stole the
money. She hid it in her butt.
We were all surprised.
I will meet you both ahead.
Don't you realise
a child is here?
Don't be angry.
Fine girl.
Daddy V.
I'm coming.
Didn't I say it that day?
The guy was looking at me
as if my mouth was smelling.
- Don't mind him.
- Anyway, he is still blinded by love.
I billed him 150,000.
My cut is 50,000. Is that okay?
Today?
I'm going to meet him now.
- That's what's up.
- I got you.
Vovo, my friend.
You don't know what you've
just done for me now.
I'm here for you, Vovo.
Did you hear about
what happened to Wasiu?
Which Wasiu is that?
[chuckles]
Why are you frowning?
I want ice cream.
Wasn't it you who made
breakfast for us this morning?
I didn't want to eat it.
I'll buy ice cream for you.
- Will you buy me ice cream?
- Yes.
[tyres screeching]
[suspenseful music]
[Lolu] Let me go!
[Lolu] Help me, Daddy!
- [gun cocking]
- [Lolu] Daddy V!
Leave my child alone.
Leave me alone!
Daddy, please!
I said put down my child!
- [Lolu] Daddy please!
- Put down my child!
Are you mad? I said
put my child down!
Who are you?
[Lolu] Help me, Daddy!
Daddy V!
- Daddy V, help me! Leave me alone!
- Bro.
[Lolu] Daddy V!
Daddy!
Bro!
[man grunts]
[man grunts]
No! Daddy!
So, who is mad now?
[dramatic music]
- No, no, no!
- [Rogba] Let me follow him.
Go.
[men grunting]
[suspenseful music]
[Lolu] Daddy, Daddy!
[Rogba] Lolu!
[Rogba] Lolu!
[Lolu] Daddy!
Help me! Help me!
Daddy! No!
Lolu!
[Lolu] Help me! Somebody
help me. No. Help me.
Somebody help me!
[men grunting]
[bone cracks]
[Rogba grunts]
[man grunts]
[Rogba grunts]
[suspenseful music]
[Rogba screams]
[Rogba breathes heavily]
[gunshot]
[Lolu] Daddy!
- Daddy!
- Lolu!
Lolu!
No.
[breathing heavily]
Where is Lolu? Hey?
Don't worry. This
one will tell us.
[body thuds]
[ominous music]
[gun cocks]
Where did you take my child?
Where did you take my child?
You don't learn.
[man laughs]
[man laughs hysterically]
[urinating]
[gun cocks]
[ominous music]
Where did you take my child?
[man screams]
Okay.
[man groaning]
[man grunting]
[man] Brother, please. Please!
What did you say?
Brother, please.
You said please?!
Where did you take my child?
[man grunting]
What?
[man screaming]
[man] Area, area, area!
I don't know where
they took her to!
[man screaming]
If you're not telling me where my
child is, don't tell me anything.
- Do you hear me?
- [man crying]
[man grunting]
I only urinated on three.
[grunting]
[punching]
Calm down, it's enough.
Calm down.
Chill, chill, chill.
Chill
[man grunting]
Voke, what do we do now?
I need to go see my mother.
She can tell us
where Lolu might be.
Are you sure your
mom would agree?
That's the only thing
we can do right now.
Once I find the location...
I will let you know.
- Voke.
- Hey, hey, hey.
We will find Lolu.
Don't worry about it.
Okay? I'll be back.
[man grunts]
[suspenseful music]
[knocking]
Greetings, Mom.
Voke.
How are you?
They will come and sweep it now.
Sweep what?
[vase shatters]
Didn't I tell you
it's going to break?
- Funke!
- [woman] Ma!
Bring something to
clean this mess.
[woman] Okay, Ma.
See how lean you look.
Look at your body,
blood everywhere.
- What's the problem with this child?
- My friend's child.
My goddaughter, that girl.
She was kidnapped.
Oh my!
Oh my!
Funke!
[woman] Ma!
Please bring starch
for my child.
[woman] Okay, Ma.
Banga or Owu Soup?
No, no, no. Please,
let's forget about food.
Let's forget about food for now.
I don't have time, please.
What do you mean
forget about food?
When was the last time
you ate in this house?
- Mama, please.
- What is wrong with you?
- Just help me check.
- If this is the reason that you came
the answer is no. N. O. No!
Mama.
See your father.
Please.
Just help me, it won't take
you more than two minutes.
- Just go to your room and do it.
- Force me inside and make me do it.
Or should I do it myself?
Voke! I'll get upset
with you right now.
I'm warning you.
So, you want them to take
something from you, right?
If they want to take
something, let them take it.
- She's my child.
- She's not your child!
How can you claim someone
else's child as your own, Voke?
Get married! Have
your own child!
Have your own child!
[suspenseful music]
What is it?
Your father is calling you.
[Voke] Father...
the strongest black magic man.
In this family, we are
all born with black magic.
But black magic is complicated.
To access other powers,
an exchange must be made.
And sometimes, it requires
years from your life.
Just like it did from my father,
who used travelling black magic,
to save Mama.
Father.
[ominous music]
Greetings.
[man grunts]
It's been a long time.
How are you doing?
[inaudible language]
I...
I can't hear.
[indistinct language]
I can't hear what you're saying.
He is asking what happened.
They kidnapped my
friend's child.
Lolu.
- I want Mama to help me find her.
- And I told him
we don't do those things here.
Mama, why would you say that?
Imagine if it was me.
You also have a child.
Imagine if it was me.
Imagine it's your child.
You also have a child.
What's wrong with you?
Why did you bring
this matter here?
Can't you see your father, Voke?
If I can't bring it here,
where do you want me to go?
Why did you bring this
kind of problem here?
- [chair rattling]
- [indistinct chatter]
Ede, are you sure?
[indistinct language]
You're lucky your
father is here.
- Thank you, Sir.
- [Mr. Ede grunts]
[phone ringing]
Are you ready?
Did you bring anything
from the girl?
Yes.
[suspenseful music]
[thunder rumbling]
[mystical noise]
Daddy!
[mystical noise]
Why did you stop?
The girl is somewhere
I can't pinpoint.
Why?
Something is blocking my vision.
Something more
powerful than you?
Is that right, Mama?
[Obatere] Voke...
this girl is in
serious trouble...
if you don't find her now.
[drop beat]
Okay, Ma. I'm leaving.
Voke.
You're my only child.
[Obatere] Be careful.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Rogba!
[Rogba] I've been trying to
reach you all day. No luck.
Listen, I can't bear it anymore.
I'm going to the mountains
to clear my head.
I don't know if I can
keep going without Lolu.
And since you're not answering
I fear the worst.
I swear.
[birds chirping]
[ominous music]
Guy.
I've been calling your phone.
What's going on?
Huh?
Hey.
Didn't I tell you
to wait for me?
Give me, give me, give me this.
Give it to me.
Mother couldn't find
the exact location
but I know she's
still in the area.
- We'll find her.
- [gunshot]
[Voke] Rogba!
- [Voke] Rogba!
- [water splashes]
[gunshot]
[gunshot]
- Brother, please, please.
- Who sent you?
- Please.
- Who is the person that sent you?
One guy showed me the picture of
the person and told me to kill him.
Which guy? Which man?
Who... who is it?
Brother, please. They just
gave me money to kill him.
Please, brother.
Rogba.
[water splashes]
[water splashes]
[Voke] What are your boys doing?
That's not what I said!
Tell them to move!
[man] Please, calm down.
That's not where I said!
He fell down here. Here.
- [phone rings]
- Tell them to move.
Brother, please,
please calm down.
Please calm down.
We, we, we, we will find him.
- [breathing heavily]
- [phone ringing]
Move! [phone rings]
Over there! Over
there! Over there!
- Move!
- [phone ringing]
You move now, move, move!
Brother...
it hasn't been
long since he fell.
He fell just now.
It was here. He fell here.
Let them search
that area, please.
Well done.
- Over there! Over there! Over there!
- [phone ringing]
Hello?
Gbenga.
I just received
some information.
They found a young girl's body at the
morgue, who was wearing a uniform.
It seems like it's Lolu.
Are they sure she's the one?
You have to come quickly.
You know these
mortuary attendants.
They can dispose of the body
if you don't come and confirm.
[Gbenga] Please hurry.
They still haven't found him?
They're still searching for him.
Just help me put your number.
Once you find him, carry
him to the nearest hospital.
Okay.
I will call you.
Please manage this.
- Okay.
- Well done.
Okay, thank you.
[cars honking]
[Gbenga] They found
a young girl's body
at the morgue who was
wearing a uniform.
[Voke] Are they
sure she's the one?
[ominous music]
[deep breath]
Take it easy.
Her eyes.
What happened to them?
[man] That's how they
brought her here.
[ominous music]
Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah. Im...
I'm fine.
[gasps]
[ominous music]
I had forgotten. I saw Chisom.
She gave me this
message to give you.
- Take it easy, please.
- [phone rings]
[Gbenga] Hello?
[Chisom] Voke
my heart breaks knowing
the pain I'm causing you.
I can't bear to stay.
Please know that my love
for you remains unchanged.
But I must go.
Brother, we have
searched everywhere.
We have searched everywhere.
We didn't find
any traces of him.
But he fell into this lake.
Hey?
Are you sure you
searched very well?
Hey?
Or could the currents take
people somewhere else?
Uhm.
It is possible.
- There's a place over there...
- It's true.
Yes, that side.
I see.
Please, let's keep searching.
He is inside this lake.
I'm very sure of that.
[melancholic music]
[melancholic music]
Mama.
[melancholic music]
When I touched her body...
I felt it.
I felt it in my hand.
It rushed into my body.
I saw it.
I saw the weapon.
Do you still have
your other powers?
Yes.
Voke.
I have never seen anybody that
has more than two powers before.
But you.
You have three.
I'll be fine.
[Voke] This is the knife.
This is the knife...
they used to kill Lolu.
Voke.
Leave this matter.
The people behind
this are too strong.
Even me.
I tried to use my power.
But they were
blocking my vision.
- Voke.
- [sobbing]
Please.
Mother...
this is my fight.
[Voke] Don't worry.
But I promise you...
I will be careful.
- Voke.
- [sobbing]
[sobbing]
[Edere] Obatere...
I warned you before.
But you didnt listen.
I know that I've put
him in danger, Edere.
The boy is okay.
For now.
You would know if
he wasn't okay.
[upbeat music]
[phone vibrating]
[man] Vovo, what's
up? Are you around?
Okay, I can hear the music.
Alright, you will see a staircase there.
Just make a turn, and come that way.
You're pretending like you don't
want to come, but you like money.
My friend,
I know there is booty
everywhere, but stay focused.
Have you climbed the staircase?
Okay, just keep moving forward.
You will see a door
when you get upstairs.
Bro, respond to me a bit. It
feels like I'm talking to myself.
There's a door by that staircase,
just keep walking straight ahead.
Don't pay attention to
the women. We are inside.
[call dies]
[woman] Mr?
Voke, but you can call him Vovo.
So...
who's stealing from me?
No one.
Boss, I told you. I told you
no one is stealing from you.
[man] I said it.
But they're making
money from you.
Explain.
The gist is...
when your supply of
alcohol gets here
half the bottles are
swapped with fake ones.
But you pay the official price.
[Voke] You're not
losing any money.
As you still sell the fake bottles,
at the price of the original.
So, technically, no one
is stealing from you.
[woman] Smart.
So, who's doing this?
Boss, I'm not stealing from you.
You know me.
- [man] I've never stolen from you.
- Right.
[club music in distance]
Mr. Voke.
That's still stealing from me.
Hmph.
Tell Peter to pay
them on their way out.
Thank you very much, madam.
My friend, how much
is X.O in this club?
400k.
Ah.
And for the fake one?
Are you joking?
Peter, stop. Stop there.
Stop what?
What's going on?
No money for you.
Dude! Don't touch me.
Don't touch me.
- No money.
- Are you kidding me?
No money for you.
What does that mean?
No money.
Nothing for you.
So you think you
can come to my spot
and mess me up here.
I'm not here for that.
Give me my money, let me leave!
- [gun cocks]
- You came to my club to challenge me.
I will kill you here,
and nothing will happen.
That gun isn't going to help.
Nothing will happen here.
[dramatic music]
[crowd wailing]
[body thudding]
[neck cracking]
[grunting]
- [bone breaking]
- [man screaming]
[Gbenga] Nice one, Voke.
[gunshot]
[gunshot]
- [bone cracking]
- [man screaming]
Rest in peace.
Look at you.
Look at your face.
You dare lay your hands on me?
My friend, I'm so proud of you.
Let me shower you
with this money.
Okay, take.
Never bring me to this
sort of place again.
Are you going crazy?
Vovo?
[Lolu] Be careful.
[Rogba] Voke will
go to his house
and it will eventually be just
you and I left in this house.
Pity him a little.
Give him a little hug.
Aww.
He is pretending. Come back.
[laughing]
[melancholic music]
[Gbenga] McAnthony.
How are you doing?
Mad man...
you don't sleep at home?
My friend, Vovo.
Answer me.
I've been thinking about our
job at the club yesterday.
It was like an action movie.
You really messed them up.
Did you not see the kind of
nonsense job you took me to?
Didn't I say not to involve
me in these lousy jobs again?
It's an occupational hazard,
it happens from time to time.
You understand?
I'm thinking that we
should resume work.
You understand? It
will help you...
compatne... compartmenta
What am I trying to say?
It will help you forget
and focus. You understand?
- Healthy distraction.
- If the job is a good job.
- I'm with you.
- Have I ever disappointed you?
What you did
yesterday, what was it?
Vovo!
Leave me alone.
Volcano!
[cars honking]
[TV presenter] Join us as we work
towards a sustainable tomorrow...
Boss P.
Ah!
Gbengus! I'm fine.
- How are you?
- Hello, pretty girl.
How are you?
Boss P, this is the guy.
Good Morning, sir.
[Pius] Good morning.
How are you?
Very well.
The boss is busy at the moment,
but you guys should take a
seat over there until he comes.
[indistinct chatter]
[Chisom] You are so
lucky I love you.
I love you so much.
Who's the lady that
just walked past?
Who? I didn't see.
Is that Chisom?
Oh, Chisom, that's
the head of HR.
Was the man killed here?
Absolutely.
Kayode died inside his office.
Let me see the office.
Boss P, please don't be upset.
He has his own
method and process.
Pius, that place has
already been cleaned.
There's nothing to see there.
It doesn't matter.
Brother, calm down, relax.
Pretty girl.
So, Pius, please ensure that you guys
are done before the boss comes back.
Please be careful, please.
No problem.
Don't worry, thank you, hey?
- Gbengus.
- Enter.
Be fast.
How can someone come to a place
like this and commit murder?
That's what we want to find out.
[playing xylophone]
[door opens]
The boss is around.
Voke, let's go, please.
Wait, wait.
Wait? Are you joking?
Bro, let's go, please.
[Tony] Pius.
This is the man
I told you about.
He said he wanted to see
where Mr. Kayode was murdered.
Everybody, out of here!
Sorry.
My name is Voke.
Security!
You want to hear me out first.
There's black magic here.
And I'm sure you know
what I'm talking about.
[Voke] As time passed,
I mastered my powers.
I could sense black
magic by touch.
I could see what happened.
But for ordinary eyes...
I would use the obsidian rock
to show them what
they couldnt see.
A sacrifice was made here.
Something was definitely
taken from Mr. Kayode's body.
I'm not sure what was taken,
maybe a finger, a tooth, an eye.
[Voke] I would have
to see the body.
Nobody knew something was
taken from that body...
except me.
- Pius.
- Boss?
Take this man straight
to where the body is.
Voke, right?
Correct.
You speak to only me.
No one else.
[sinister sounds]
[sinister sounds]
Thank you.
What did you see?
I need to talk to your boss.
What are you doing here?
Don't worry, I'm
not here for you.
[door opening]
Sit down.
So?
Have you done anything
I should know?
What do you mean?
Fuck with things you're
not supposed to fuck with.
I don't believe in nonsense.
I just need you to find out
who is trying to fuck with me.
Let me fuck them up,
big time, in return.
Like I said before...
there's black magic here.
An organ was taken.
A sacrifice was made.
Five person target.
One down.
Four to go.
Now, is there anyone
who you think is trying
to mess with you?
No.
I cannot think of anyone...
that is still alive.
Very well.
I want to talk with everyone
that was here that night.
Do what you have to do.
Find the person.
Whoever is responsible for this.
If it's about money...
money is not a problem.
[door opens]
[door closes]
There was a late board meeting.
With who in it?
Chisom.
Who else was there?
Mr. Tony.
Mr. Kayode.
Owen Ugbe.
Diana Ikeji.
Mr. Edere Boloko.
Where did you go from there?
We all went to a restaurant.
With Tony and his wife, Chisom.
Have you heard of Silver Fox?
Chisom is married to Mr. Tony?
Yes.
Alright.
If there's anything else
I'll let you know.
[suspenseful music]
[interviewer] So why were
you dropped off the board?
[Laken] Dropped?
That's not true, man.
I left to focus on my music.
[interviewer] I have information
saying that they voted
and dropped you off the
board of Thompson Group.
Discharge, man.
Yo, I just told you, man.
Are you crazy? Hey?
Are you crazy?
[woman] Hello?
My name is Jimmi Lawson.
And I...
I work with BBC Africa.
I would like to
interview Dasuki.
[woman] Did you say BBC?
I think we did an interview...
[Voke] No, no, no, no.
I said PET.
[woman] Okay.
We're having an
event in three days.
Let's do it then. I will
send you the address.
[upbeat music]
[Lola] I'm Lola. Jimmi from PET?
- Yes.
- Okay, great. Come with me.
Yeah, so he's here.
Jimmi from PET.
Leke.
- PET?
- Yeah, Jimmi Lawson.
- How are you doing?
- Very well, thank you. Nice to meet you.
- Likewise, man.
- I hope this won't take too long.
Well, we can make it fast.
You're an entrepreneur.
With all that you do,
what happened with the
board at Thompson Group?
[clicks tongue]
[Dasuki] I left.
I wanted to focus on my music.
The information I have
says you were voted out.
[clicks tongue]
Leke.
Leke!
They kicked me
out of my company!
- My father's sweat, right?
- [woman] Leke.
We'll see who laughs at the end.
Leke!
They will find out.
Please, nothing about the company
should go into the interview.
Yeah, nothing will go in.
Thank you.
[recorder drops]
Uhm, you don't have to worry.
I can find my way from here.
[upbeat music]
[door closes]
Who are you?
Reporter. With PET.
I came to get an
interview with Dasuki.
Lola!
Do you know this man?
And what are you
still doing here?
My recorder, I forgot it.
Make sure he leaves.
Move.
[door closes]
Bro, your knife is really sharp.
Of course, it is.
[gate closes]
[gate opens]
[Chisom] I can't bear to stay.
What are you doing here?
What are you doing here?
That's none of your business.
Can you just stop?
Stop what?
Why do you think I'm even here?
Since you left, I
have been angry.
And I'm still trying
to deal with it.
I deserve to know what happened.
Don't you think so?
Okay.
But not here.
I'll follow you.
[cars honking]
[Voke] You haven't changed.
- You're still streetwise.
- [Chisom laughs]
Of course.
Remember, you brought
me here frequently.
[chuckles]
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
I can't use my hand.
[savouring]
You're enjoying it, right?
I've really missed it.
So...
you got married.
He's a nice guy.
Is he a nice guy, or is he rich?
Voke...
love is never enough.
But I was working hard.
And I appreciate it.
I was hustling.
Voke...
that time was a very
crazy period for me.
I had just lost my father,
my mother, my sister...
the only family I had.
I was lost.
And on top of that...
my uncles were fighting
me over my father's money.
[sighs]
I needed help.
So, Tony helped you.
Is that why you married him?
Voke, what would you have done?
What would you have done
for me at that time?
The little money I had
you were taking from me.
You saw me working.
I was hustling.
Just...
Just...
We were...
both from different worlds.
It wouldn't have worked then.
What about now?
Voke...
Things are complicated now.
Very...
complicated.
[melancholic music]
[phone vibrating]
Hello.
[Pius] Someone else
has been killed.
I mean, someone else has died.
Who?
[Pius] Edere Boloko is dead.
Where was he killed?
[Pius] In his house.
People are wicked.
[woman sobbing]
That's the boy I
was talking about.
Voke.
Come here.
Who is responsible for this?
I think I know who.
But first, I want
to see the body.
He wants to see the body.
Sort it out.
Yes, Sir.
This way.
When you're done,
we all need to talk.
Sorry for your loss, Ma.
Stop.
- Sorry, who are you?
- It's alright.
Let him check.
[sinister sound]
Let's go.
Mr. Tony...
did you kill Lanre Thompson?
Watch your tone, boy.
What does that have
to do with this?
[Chisom] Lekan...
just take the money.
[Dasuki] Are you kidding me?
Are you serious?
They kicked me off the board.
Now they want me to sell my
shares from my father's company.
Come on, man.
Make it make sense.
Then I found out Tony
had killed my father.
He doesn't know I'm aware.
What happened to
Kayode is small.
What I would do to them...
Unless I'm not Leke Thompson.
They will all see.
[Chisom] What do you mean
by, what happened to Kayode?
Did he do that thing?
Someone who works for him did.
[Voke] Laide Folarin.
Are you sure he did it?
From the bodies I've looked at
a certain weapon with
black magic was used.
When I was there days ago
he placed the same weapon on me.
How is that black magic?
What are you doing?
- Wait!
- Hey!
Let me try.
[stabs]
Ah!
Sir?
That small boy.
Raheem, go catch this boy!
Voke, you will follow them.
You're the only one
that can handle this.
Get that Laide boy here, now.
Fuck! Chisom is
already on her way.
- Get there before she does.
- Okay, Sir.
Go on!
Raheem.
Yes, Sir
[whispers] Kill
every one of them.
You hear?
Yes, Sir.
Voke.
What's going on?
Dasuki is the killer.
My God.
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm very sure.
I need to go in and
talk to him first.
You can't go in there.
- I need to talk to him.
- No, you can't.
Let's go!
Stay calm. I'll be right back.
Go on.
Two of you, stay with her.
[suspenseful music]
[dialler ringing]
[police officer] Yes, Sir.
Send everyone.
[police officer] Okay, Sir.
Immediately.
[screams]
[dramatic music]
[gun cocks]
Help.
What happened?
Leke... his room.
Stop!
Stand up!
[sigh]
[gunshot]
[knife swooshes]
[body thuds]
[sigh]
[grunts]
[choking]
[grunting]
[struggling breath]
Hey!
Stop there.
You move, and I'll shoot you.
I said stop there.
[gun shots]
[stabs and body thudding]
[screaming]
[screaming]
[sirens]
[sirens]
Voke, Voke, Voke.
Take me... take me home.
No, I can't take you home.
I have to take you to hospital.
There are things you
don't know about me.
If you don't want me to die,
- take me home now.
- Okay, fine. Let me take you home.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
[Voke grunting]
Sorry.
Okay, so what do I do now?
The cupboard.
From the drawer...
What am I getting
from the drawer?
A small black bag.
Oh, I see, I've seen it.
Here.
What next?
- Okay.
- [Voke grunting]
The black stone?
[Voke] Yes.
Is that all?
Eggs from the kitchen.
- Eggs from the kitchen.
- Yes
Hurry!
[Chisom] Im coming!
[Chisom] Here.
[suspenseful music]
Here. I have the eggs.
What do I do?
Carefully crack the egg
using the stone.
Add it to the powder in the bag.
- Mix it with the powder.
- [Voke grunts]
And a drop of my blood.
Okay.
And from the egg,
add just the yoke.
Okay.
First, you have to get this off.
Okay
- Chisom.
- Yeah.
Just the yoke.
Just the yoke.
Okay, okay.
Are you ready?
At the count of three.
One.
- Two. Three.
- Now!
[groans]
- Sorry.
- [Chisom breathing fast]
Sorry, sorry.
Voke, Voke, are you okay?
[knife drops]
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Sorry, sorry.
[breathes shakily]
[egg cracks]
Ah!
[breathes shakily]
Sorry.
Oh, no!
Voke.
Voke?
Voke, Voke, Voke.
Voke!
Chisom, Chisom!
Chisom, calm down.
Calm down.
[breathing heavily]
Break it gently.
[panting]
- [swooshing]
- [knife thuds]
[panting]
Voke, Voke, Voke?
[panting]
[crying]
Chisom.
Chisom.
Chisom.
Voke.
[Chisom sobbing]
[coughs]
[screams]
Voke.
[calm music]
Chisom.
Yes?
[Voke grunts]
Sorry, sorry.
You did well.
[chuckles]
Don't say anything.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Are you okay, though?
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.
That guy went straight for you.
I'm good.
I'm fine.
[calm music]
Take.
Everything made sense.
But I was wrong.
I almost got you killed.
You saved me.
You need to find
out who this guy is.
And I trust you will.
[romantic music]
You alright?
[Chisom moans]
[Voke grunts]
[phone vibrating]
[gasps]
[phone continues vibrating]
[Chisom] No, no, no.
I'm... I'm leaving now.
Yeah, I'm coming.
Alright, no problem.
What's up?
What's up?
That was Tony. He's angry.
I need to leave now.
Leave to where?
Home.
He's getting protection.
Protection?
Did you see what the
guy did to the police?
It's not the police.
I'm coming with you.
- No.
- I want to protect you.
Voke.
You're literally the last person
Tony wants to see right now.
Focus on finding
out who that guy is.
I know someone who can help.
Who?
My mother.
I just need to take
the knife with me.
She'll have info on the guy.
Voke.
Voke.
You should have told me
about this black magic.
I know.
You know?
That kind of thing isn't
easy to tell someone.
Chisom, I did not think
you would accept me.
Do I look like someone
who won't accept you?
Am I?
Chisom, I'm sorry.
Let me come with you.
No.
You go to your mom.
Find out who this guy is.
I'll be home.
And I'll be safe for now.
Okay?
Wait.
Um...
My other phone is about
to run out of battery.
Let me give you this number.
Just text me.
Chisom.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[alarm chirping]
[indistinct chatter]
[knocking]
[Tony] Did you bring it?
Well done.
If not, my wife would kill me.
[door closes]
I told you the shaman is around.
I've prepared everything,
Everywhere is protected,
nothing is going to happen.
I'm impenetrable.
Please tell the police
to be on standby.
Okay?
Mhm.
[gate rattles]
- Hey, check what's happening over there.
- [gun cocks]
[gasps]
- [knife stabbing]
- [man grunts]
What's going on?
Is he here?
Mike.
Mike, where are you?
Call Baba.
[security] Call Baba!
You. Go now.
[indistinct gunshots]
[bones cracking]
Baby, don't worry. Nothing
is going to happen.
Don't stress yourself.
- Are you sure?
- They will handle it!
What's wrong with you?
He is in the house!
I'm here. I'm in control.
Shoot! Shoot!
[gun shots]
Shoot!
The Shaman is around.
- Where are you going?
- [footsteps receding]
[phone ringing]
Hello, Chisom.
Voke, he's here.
What?
I think he's in the house.
What about Tony's men?
I don't know, they are
trying to stop him.
[tyres screeching]
I'm on my way.
[tyres screeching]
Voke, where are you?
About an hour away.
Okay, okay.
Boss! Boss!
I think we need
to leave here now.
- Is he inside?
- Yes, sure, sure.
Hey!
[Chisom breathes shakily]
He's here.
He's in the room.
- I'm in the closet.
- Stay on the line.
[horns blaring]
Mother.
I know what you want to ask.
The person I really
care about in this life
is about to be murdered.
I need Papa's black
magic for travelling.
And I need it now.
Voke, it's this same thing that
put your father in his
current predicament.
Papa knew it would cost him.
But he still did what he had to.
He saved you.
Voke, I cannot.
You're my only child.
The only one left.
Mom, has Dad ever told you
that he regrets what he did?
Has he ever told you that
he regrets what he did?
[Chisom] He's in the
room, I'm in the closet.
I have money.
I have money.
Please, please.
I'm begging you, please.
- I'm begging you.
- [stabs]
[gasp]
- [stabs]
- [Tony grunts]
[gasps]
Tony is dead.
[Edere] Let him make his choice.
I don't regret at all that
I gave up my years for you.
I would do it again,
given another chance.
But he is my only child.
- [sobbing]
- My only child, Ede. He's my only child.
- [Voke] What did you say, Mom?
- I cannot.
- Mom, please!
- He's done with Tony, Voke.
Voke, it will take
years from your life.
Let it take them.
Please.
No.
[Edere] It's his
own years to give.
Let him make the choice himself.
Ede, I hear you. I hear you.
But he's my only child
that's still alive.
Okay, okay.
[tyres screeching]
[Obatere] Voke.
[horns blaring]
What's this nonsense?
[Obatere] Clear your head.
The picture of the person
you want to travel to
imagine it in your head.
- Imagine it in your mind.
- [horns blaring]
[Chisom] You're
lucky I love you.
[Voke] You know I'll do
anything for you, right?
[Voke] I love you so much.
[sigh]
[gasping]
[dramatic entrance]
[screaming]
Voke, how did you get here?
That's not important.
Oh, he's awake. He's
awake. Oh, my God.
- [Chisom screaming]
- Stop, stop, stop!
[Chisom] It's not working.
It won't work, it won't work!
Why is it not
working? It's a gun!
[Voke] It cannot get into
his body. Stop it, just go.
[Chisom] Why? It's a gun.
He's coming.
- Oh, shit.
- [Voke] Hes coming.
[man sighs]
He's coming.
He's coming, he's
coming, he's coming.
Hide, hide somewhere,
hide somewhere.
Just find somewhere
and hide now!
I'll face him.
Wait, Voke. How can I help?
Just hide somewhere.
How can I help? What
can I do to help?
You know what?
If you want the bullets
to penetrate his skin,
- take them out and urinate on them.
- Urinate on bullets?
If you want the bullets to
enter his body, urinate on them.
- Urinate on bullets?
- Bring out the bullets! Urinate on them!
Out! Go now!
- Just go.

[Voke gasping]
[Voke choking]
[man sighs]
[Voke choking]
Rogba.
Rogba.
Stop, stop!
Rogba.
[Voke] Lolu.
Lolu, my goddaughter.
Rogba.
[Voke choking]
[gunshot]
[body thuds]
[gun drops]
You shouldn't have!
He was trying to kill you.
This is Rogba!
Rogba.
Voke.
Are you okay?
You look older.
It's the travelling black magic.
But that's not the point.
He was trying to kill you.
You killed Rogba
when he was trying
to say something.
Voke, I just saved you.
Don't touch me!
Don't touch me.
Don't touch me.
[sirens wailing]
[solemn music]
Chisom.
Voke.
I'm sorry.
You actually saved my life.
I understand how you felt.
He killed Tony,
right in front of me.
We have both lost.
Voke.
You're the only one I have left.
I couldn't bear losing you too.
I couldn't.
Thank you.
I need to go clear my head.
After all of this, I...
I just need to
gather my thoughts.
Voke.
Promise me you'll be back soon.
I will.
I promise.
He was the one that
was wearing the mask.
All this time.
He was alive.
And yet he didn't remember me.
I find myself lost again.
[gunshot]
I have lost my best friend,
the same way I lost him before.
I don't know what
to believe anymore.
[water splashing]
[sinister noises]
[sinister noises]
[sinister noises]
[grunts]
[grunts]
Onajite!
[grunts]
[cracklings]
[door shuts]
[gate opens]
[curses]
- [Edojah] Onajite!
- Are you not afraid?
[Edojah] Onajite!
You will see what I
will do with your eyes.
[Edojah] Onajite!
[Edojah] Onajite!
Come here.
[Edojah] Come here.
[Edojah] Onajite!
Get inside.
Shut up your mouth.
I said go inside.
You're angrily waving a knife.
Do you want to stab him?
Come.
Come here.
I know you.
I know your mother
and your father.
- My father?
- Mhm.
What exactly is going on?
Why did she attack me?
Onajite?
You killed the father
of her unborn child.
Rogba.
Was that his name?
Did you two know
each other well?
He was like my brother.
Hmm.
Sir, what is going on?
I know this is what
brought you here.
You want to know what happened?
And you will.
Do you have the courage to
handle what you want to hear?
There's nothing I haven't seen.
Okay.
Come inside.
[Voke] There is something
deeper to this family.
I've always sensed that
there were others like us.
But this is my first encounter.
Elder...
don't be upset, but
I just want to know
what happened to
my friend, Rogba?
We will start from
the beginning.
Onajite.
You brought him to this house.
Tell him how it happened.
Tell him.
They said they found his
body by the waterside.
He was badly injured,
but he was lucky.
He was rescued and
taken to the hospital.
He almost died
from his injuries.
He lost his memory.
People said maybe he was insane.
But I didn't see it that way.
I just liked him.
There was a way he
would smile at me.
He would say, "Aunty Jiji".
"Is there anything
nice in the okra soup?"
I would reply, "You're
crazy. Who's your aunty?"
Then he would laugh.
That's how we became close.
After a while, the
hospital complained.
It's odd no one
came to claim him.
He was discharged
from the hospital.
He had nowhere to go.
So I told him to come stay here.
Are you satisfied?
No man has ever loved
me the way he did.
No man has ever loved me...
Onajite, it's enough.
Go inside... go inside.
[Edojah] Go inside.
Get some rest.
Get some rest.
Well done.
But I searched for him.
I sent divers to search
for him in the river.
We couldn't find his body.
Don't blame yourself.
So, why was he killing people?
When he first came here...
I liked him.
My daughter Jite, got pregnant.
I noticed he doesn't
sleep at night.
Every night, he has nightmares.
[Lolu] Daddy.
He starts sweating profusely.
[Lolu] Help me.
I felt no one should
live this way.
[Lolu] Daddy!
Every night?
I decided to
investigate further.
Hmm.
What my eyes saw, my
mouth cannot speak of.
The situation saddened me.
The girl haunting his
dreams is his child.
They sacrificed the child.
They removed five
of her body parts.
And gave them to an evil entity.
Her eyes.
Her heart.
Her tongue.
Her liver and her lungs.
Just because of money.
But a father and daughters
connection is too strong.
Even though they are
feeding on her spirit,
the girl keeps
begging to be saved.
The evil entity takes
five years to feed
on anything sacrificed to it.
When it is finished
it will ask for another.
When this happens
the child's spirit
will suffer forever.
Seriously, she will suffer.
And this is not
their first time.
They've been doing
this for a long time.
So Rogba was trying
to stop them?
Not really.
So, what exactly?
Listen.
If he collects back the organs
from the same people
who took it from the child
and offers it back
to the evil entity
he will save the girls spirit.
To leave his child's
spirit to suffer forever
or kill those that
killed his daughter.
He was trying to save Lolu.
Now, the child's spirit
will suffer forever.
The suit and mask I gave him
for protection has deteriorated.
I will do it.
There's one person left.
That person ate
the girl's heart.
[Chisom] Voke.
Chisom?
[Edojah] As it is now
it's been too long.
Time is running out.
If it's not done by sunrise
the girl's spirit
will suffer forever.
That's if they haven't
made a new sacrifice.
Thank you.
Well done.
Bye.
[Voke] All this time
Chisom was behind Lolu's death.
[coughs]
[gunshot]
Wait, wait, wait.
Voke, Voke, Voke.
Voke, wait.
Voke, Voke.
Voke, please.
Voke, please.
For what?
For what?
Voke, Voke, Please.
For what?
Rogba.
Lolu.
How many people?
I only sacrificed Lolu.
Why?
Why?!
Listen to me, Voke, please.
I'm listening!
My father did this to me.
Everything we had.
Mr. Tony.
Dasuki's father.
They started this whole thing.
With that monster.
I don't know how long
they've been doing it.
But five years ago...
that monster wanted my mother.
My father couldn't do it.
My father couldn't kill my mom.
He tried to run away
with her and my sister
and it killed them.
My father's obligation
had fallen on me.
It was my turn to deliver.
If I didn't...
the monster was
going to kill me.
Why?
Why did you choose Lolu?
I didn't choose Lolu.
It chose Lolu.
I don't know why it did.
Why didn't you tell me?
I couldn't look you in the face.
So I left.
Are you still there?!
Are you still there?!
Voke.
Now that I know that
you can do these things.
Voke.
Help me.
Let's kill her.
What about Lolu?
Voke.
I'm sorry, but she's gone.
You know that I love you.
This is the only way we
can be together, Voke.
[Voke] You know I'll do
anything for you, right?
I love you so much.
We can finally be together.
[Voke] I promised you I
would take care of her.
I carried her when she was born.
She's my daughter.
[Edojah] If nothing
happens by sunrise
the girl's spirit
will suffer forever.
[Chisom gasps]
[groaning]
Voke.
I can't do it.
I can't do it.
I wanted us to be together.
I don't want to die.
Voke.
[Chisom breathes out]
[Voke grunts]
[bones cracking]
[heart beating]
[thunder roaring]
[lightning cracking]
[thunder roaring]
Who are you?
[thunder cracking]
Who do you think I am?
So it is you?
Yes.
I'm the one.
I didn't think you
would kill the girl.
That's the difference
between you and your father.
It means you have
saved the little girl.
Lolu.
Mhm.
Why did you help me?
[demonic voice]
It's not for free.
When I need you,
I'll call you.
[rain falling]
[Voke] In my search
for the truth
I lost my best friend.
I lost the love of my life.
Even though I saved Lolu.
There are things you'd think
a man can't handle.
But I'm still here.
Strong.
I still stand.
[man] Someone showed me his
picture. He told me to kill him.
[man] We've searched everywhere
but we can't find him.
[music playing]
