Baby Farm (2025) s01e05 Episode Script

[dishes clattering]
[tray clatters]
Don't worry.
At least you're not spitting at me.
I gave you the key.
-I didn't know if I could trust you.
-[gasps, whimpers]
But… how?
They let me move freely,
they don't watch me.
I stole a copy of the master key
from the guard room.
[stammers]
How long have you been pretending?
From the beginning.
[in English] We've had an order
for a mixed-race baby.
Normally…
I'd find a donor,
since I promised my wife
I'd stop sowing my seed.
But you're a pretty young thing.
And you're not going to be telling anyone…
are you?
[in Pidgin] You're in danger.
I heard them talk
and they're going to kill you.
[Adanna breathes heavily] Hmm?
You wrote the note?
You made a terrible mistake.
-Chinedu is not your friend.
-[door opens, closes]
[sibling] Wait there!
That's close enough.
Adanna said you would help me.
[sibling] How do I know
you are who you say you are?
I don't know who Adanna is.
She's still in there.
She had to go back.
There are a lot of girls in there.
So many.
You said you know Em?
She's my sister.
Where is she?
[Cherise, in English] She was scared.
Yet she came to tell me.
She wanted me to know.
What am I going to do, Akin?
The woman in the photo was dead.
[exhales sharply] I've been so obsessed.
And now that I can get
what I have wanted most…
I didn't even stop to think where
the babies were actually coming from.
[cell phone rings]
-Uh, hello?
-[Evans] Hello, Akin.
I was calling to check
that everything's all right.
[Akin] Um, yeah.
Sorry we had to bail so quickly.
[stammers] When Cherise gets one
of these migraines, you know,
we just have to get her
into a darkened room very quickly.
Well, maybe I can help.
[chuckles] I have medication.
[Akin] Oh, no, no. It's fine.
She's getting better.
We caught it early.
[Evans] Well, that's good.
Actually, I'm calling for another reason.
I have your babies.
Your twins.
They are ready to be placed
in Cherise's arms.
[in Pidgin] You're saying Em had her baby?
And?
Do you know whether…
she's still alive?
These people are powerful.
They have connections.
I don't know how to fight them.
The doctor isn't afraid of anything.
The only thing he fears is someone
who would see him for who he is.
[in English]
Then let's give him what he's afraid of.
[in Pidgin] Chinedu smiles and acts sweet,
but he's one of them.
He'll figure out I'm the one
who stole the key, so we have to hurry.
How long have you been preparing for this?
Not long enough.
We should have ID cards
at the top pockets.
I hope luck is on our side.
But they'll recognize us.
We better wear face masks.
We don't have a choice.
If they catch us, we'll be dead.
[in English]
Are you taking them to her now?
Once she feels these babies in her arms,
she won't take the risk
of being parted from them again.
[exhales] What if--
She could take them away and still tell.
Tell them what? That she bought them?
-[baby crying]
-Have them taken away from her? No.
The sooner she gets these babies,
the sooner she will never give them up.
[toys jingle]
[gasps]
[in Pidgin] Are you ready?
[Ebun breathing heavily]
[sibling grunts]
-[groans]
-[Joy gasps]
[coughs]
[pants, whimpers]
I hate them.
[cries]
[grunts]
Uh…
Good morning, Madam.
We're just moving our curtains.
Maybe you would like to help us?
You can join her on that side.
[lock beeps, unlocks]
[both panting]
[Ebun whimpers]
This is not good.
We don't have another option.
She's going to be the center of the story.
It's what she would have wanted.
[Eniye clears throat]
[Adanna] Please wait.
I'm not going without my babies.
Let me see if I can find them.
Let's get help first
and then come back for them.
Please, I won't be long.
[sniffles, breathes shakily]
They are not here. [sniffles]
[Eniye] Adanna, we don't have time.
Let me see if I can get any information
about where my babies are.
Please, don't be angry.
[Eniye] Don't leave me.
Please.
[mouthing, in English] Password?
Hey. Hey, stop there!
[whimpers, cries]
-[gunshot]
-[gasps]
[gasps, breathes shakily]
Eniye?
[sibling] The Evans Foundation is
a front for a baby farm.
I've been investigating them for weeks.
If you want a big story
and some big prizes,
come to the Evans Foundation
and look in my car.
The blue Lexus.
[sibling, in Pidgin]
We've done what we can do.
What will happen now?
[people clamoring]
Hopefully, those media contacts
on her phone will arrive.
The promise of a prize
should bring a crowd
and then the police.
They will find her and read the note.
If that doesn't make a noise,
I don't know what will.
[Barbara, in English] Move!
Oh, my God. That's Eniye!
How could you just shoot her?
The doctor said shoot to kill.
-That was the order.
-[door opens]
[indistinct whispering]
[guard]
And there's something happening outside.
Two of the makers are missing. [stammers]
One of the makers is missing.
Oh, don't tell me.
Adanna.
Oh, my God. He is gonna kill me.
[breathes heavily]
-Drop that phone.
-[gasps]
I want my babies.
Adanna, please. Put the gun down. Let's--
Where are my babies?
They're in the ward. We can go--
-Listen to me!
-[gasps]
One more lie
and I will put a bullet in your stomach!
Where are my babies?
They've been taken
to their new family already.
-Take me there.
-It's too late.
-Adanna, please. Listen--
-Take…
Look at me. Look!
If you don't take me
to where my babies are right now…
-I will kill you.
-[shakily] Okay.
[guard] Now, we must stay professional.
Listen to me!
We must secure this perimeter.
So move it. Move it, move it! Let's go!
[bystanders clamoring]
[Ebun gasps, speaks Pidgin]
That's Sister Barb.
She's taking Ada with her!
She's going with Adanna!
Who is Adanna?
She's my friend
who is pregnant with twins.
[Barbara, in English]
Take me to the hotel.
[clamoring]
[sirens wailing]
[camera shutter clicks]
[officer] Give me that. Give me that.
Sir, it's one of those people
from JoyToTheWorld.com.
My babies are here?
Yes.
We're offering your babies
the kind of life you could only dream of.
You would be selfish
to deprive them of that.
-Hello. Hello.
-[gun cocks]
Um, can I help you? Are you guests here?
No, I have an appointment
with Cherise Uko.
Oh, we're not supposed to allow people
to go into Miss Uko's suite.
[chuckles] That's fine. We're from
the Evans Foundation. Thank you.
[tires squeal]
[whimpers softly]
[pants] It's here.
Go get them.
[video game sounds on cell phone]
[door opens]
Sit there.
[Barbara breathing shakily]
I knew you were gonna be trouble.
[shakily] Give me my babies. Right now.
-I don't think so.
-I will kill you!
You're really that good a shot?
I don't think you are.
What happened?
Both gone. Probably at the airport by now.
Well, then it's over. They'll talk.
I doubt it. They'll just run back to
Hollywood and try to forget all about it.
We have another problem closer to home.
I just… I just want my babies.
Please. Just give them to me.
And I swear, I will disappear.
No one will see me again. Please.
I think it's a little too late
to let you just leave, don't you?
You don't understand, it's over.
The clinic is done.
It's just another setback.
We've had our disappointments before.
Have you checked your phone?
[baby coos]
Why the urgency? [chuckles]
[guard] Doc. Doc.
Um, where are you?
Listen, they found that woman in the car.
The police are coming in.
Hey! You can't go in there!
That's private!
Put the gun down
or I'll break its neck.
-[Barbara] Oliver, no!
-I mean it!
Okay, okay! Okay.
-[baby crying]
-Okay. [crying] Okay.
-Okay.
-[Evans] Give me the gun, Barbara.
Pick up the gun, Barbara,
and hand it to me.
-[Barbara sniffles]
-The gun!
Please. Please. [whimpers]
[babies both crying]
[Barbara] We need to destroy our records
and get out while we can.
We can start again from the beginning.
We've done it before.
Just give her the babies and let's go.
-Please.
-You did this!
No, Oliver!
You were trouble from the first day.
We built this from the dirt up
and you just tore it down.
I should've killed you
when I first had the chance.
I should've burnt you
and left you in the trash!
-Oliver, stop!
-[Adanna whimpers]
Get out of the way.
If you kill her now,
you will just make it worse.
Now move aside, darling.
-[Evans chuckles]
-[Adanna whimpering]
[crying] People saw me
coming in here with her.
She attacked us.
We were defending ourselves.
You're not thinking clearly.
This is wrong.
[Evans chuckling] Oh! Look at you!
The self-righteous wife!
You didn't have anything
to do with this, did you?
You just go to the parties,
wear the nice dresses.
You ride the pretty horses
and you live like a queen!
[shakily] You've given me
a beautiful life.
More than I could ever have dreamt of.
But I can't do this anymore.
You lie to yourself all you want,
but don't you lie to me.
You were there every step of the way.
This was us, not just me.
Yes, I know, but we have gone too far.
-We haven't gone far enough!
-[whimpers]
There's no law here!
Money's the law! We are the law!
[Barbara whimpering] Oliver, we're not.
It's time to decide right now
where you belong.
You're either with me,
or you're against me.
[Barbara whimpering]
Please, please, please.
He's going to kill me. Please.
Please. Please, please.
Barbara, come here right now
or I swear I'll kill you both!
[both whimpering, crying]
No! No! Please!
Please, please, please.
Please, no, please. [crying]
Barbara belongs with me.
You…
-don't belong to anyone.
-Please.
-[Evans] It's time…
-[Adanna] Please!
…to say goodbye.
-[gun cocks]
-[Adanna whimpers]
[Ebun screams]
-[gunshot]
-[Adanna gasps]
No!
[both cry]
What have you done?
Ebun. Ebun!
-[Evans] Barbara, come on!
-No.
[Evans] We have to go.
[crying] No, no, no. No!
[Adanna wailing]
-Help me out here.
-Ebun!
Ebun, can you hear me?
Ebun? Ebun?
[Adanna crying]
[in Pidgin] Ebun, please don't die!
-Ebun, stay with me!
-[Adanna] Ebun!
Ebun, look!
Look at my babies.
[baby coos softly]
Don't worry.
I wouldn't have made it out here.
It's better this way.
Hold on, help's coming.
[sibling]
You are not going to die today, Ebun.
You are not going to die today,
do you hear me?
Hello?
-Ebun. Ebun!
-Hello?
-Ebun, don't die. Please wake up!
-Hello? We need an ambulance.
Look, these are the children
we've been fighting for!
Ebun. Ebun.
-[cries]
-[in English] Pull yourself together.
[PA airport announcement]
We'll get our own, I promise. Okay?
Our own twins.
[Cherise] Mmm.
Excuse me. Madam Cherise Uko?
Please. Come with me.
My wife…
is a big fan of yours.
[giggles] She will not believe
I'm here to help you through.
Fast, fast.
Yeah.
Sir, sir. Anything for me?
[chuckles]
[chuckles]
Thank you.
Move.
Let's go.
-Move, move.
-[breathing heavily]
-[officer] Get moving.
-Move. Move.
[guard exclaims]
What's going on here?
Who are all these people?
Sir, ma'am, wait.
Police investigation is going on.
-You can't be here.
-[Evans] I don't have time for this.
I need to get to my office.
I'll take it from here, officers.
Stand down.
Yes, sir.
Chief Alabi, what is the meaning of this?
Tell these people to give us some space!
My friend, you better start thinking
about the statement you are going to make.
Right now.
[officer] Move. Let's go. Move.
Your staff betrayed you, right?
-[sighs]
-I will not be dragged into any scandal.
[officer 2] Move, my friend.
You understand me? Huh?
Arrest Nurse Bolade and Nurse Chinedu.
Arrest them!
[Alabi]
Put those cobras in cuffs right now!
-[Bolade groans]
-[officer 2] Move. Move.
Set fire to your office.
And get out of here now.
-You owe me.
-Thank you.
-[baby babbles]
-Hey.
And I will never ever leave you.
Hmm?
[in Pidgin] It's you and me.
It's us against the world.
[in English] All of us.
[Evans] Those damn Nigerians!
[Barbara exhales sharply]
-Oliver.
-What?
Don't be angry. [breathes heavily]
-What, woman?
-I…
I-I've hid a large sum of cash
in the discipline room.
For us.
[box thuds]
[Evans] Where?
In here?
-[keys jingle]
-[door locks]
[panting]
[Evans] Barbara?
Barbara. Barbara, what are you doing?
-Barbara!
-[pounding on door]
Barbara!
Barbara!
No. No. Barbara!
Let me out!
Barbara!
Barbara!
Let me out!
Don't fucking do this!
-Barbara!
-[continues pounding on door]
[Evans] No!
Barbara!
No!
Let me out!
Forgive me. [breathing heavily]
[mouthing] What are you doing?
[distorted screaming]
Let me out!
