[NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYING OVER RADIO]

[CAR ENGINE REVS]

[VERO'S VOICE OVER]For a long time

I wondered how something as beautiful as love

could come with so much pain

and hurt.

[RADIO STATIC]

[PRESENTER OVER RADIO] From the studios
of radio Nigeria Enugu, we present

[MAN OVER RADIO] ...for accepting us
as a fellow member in this organization.

We are properly grateful...

...the delegations to join us
in celebrating our ascension to independence.

I'm particularly pleased that... [RADIO TURNS OFF]

[CAR DOOR SHUTS]

[TRUNK OPENS]

[IN PIDGIN] This man's car is faulty.

I think I know him.

[TRUNK SHUTS]

Happy independence, sir.

Well done sir.

[DISTANT DRUMMING AND SINGING]

[DRUMMING AND SINGING CONTINUES]

Yes. But just... just jack it first.

- Oh, okay.
- Okay.

[VERO'S VOICE OVER] It was always difficult
for strangers to understand my parents love.

But isn't that what love really is?

A bond no other person understands

apart from those who are bound by it.

Yes it does, because if you travel by sea,
you will realise that there are... there are no much...

Vince!

- The man himself.
- Vincent my cousin.

- Thank you for coming to pick me up.
- Oh you know, as your cousin turned driver

it is my work. [BOTH LAUGH]

[CAR DOOR SHUTS]

[CAR DOOR SHUTS]

[HILLARY] You heard about the rumors?

[VINCENT] What rumors?

About the many girls you impregnated at sea?

[LAUGHS]

The rumors about breaking away
from Majesty's rule.

That is foolishness.

- Why would we want to be independent?
- Vincent.

Why wouldn't we?

Speaking about independence,
your parents are talking about finding you a wife.

That's the last thing on my mind right now.

I'm only concentrated on my career
with the shipping company.

I hear you.

Don't forget you promised
to help me get a job with them too.

Yeah, sure.

Haven said that,

I don't think having a woman by your side
supporting you is actually a bad idea.

[NDIDI] Papa Hillary, your brother
is optimistic about this one.

So why isn't he the one here telling me about it?

You know your brother.
He doesn't share your business sense.

Well done oh, chief marketer.

Well, me I equally feel good about this one.

I think this one is good.

You said the same thing
about the groundnut business,

the palm oil business

and... oh lets not forget, the shea butter business.

But this one is different.

Papa Hillary it's different.
You have to help us.

Nne, help me and talk to him let him help us.

- This one will work.
- I don't even know what you people are talking about.

My dear you can drop it there.

- It's business. Nothing else that we are talking.
- Thank you very much. Thank you.

Did you harvest yams?

Ah, this one is very nice o.

Ndidi, what are you doing?

Ah ah...

Just selecting. Let me look for some...

healthy ones that I can...

- [NDIDI] That one is...
- [CAR ENGINE STOPS]

- [NDIDI] Nne Hillary, wait. It's just yam.
- [MAMA HILLARY] What are you doing Ndidi?

I don't know what you're dragging.

Hillary!

[IN IGBO] Hillary, my child.

[NDIDI] Is it Hillary that I'm seeing?

- Hillary.
- Mama.

[IN IGBO] My child.

How are you?

This is me. [LAUGHS]

See how lean you look.

Are they not feeding you on that ship?

But mama, every one is telling me I've put on weight.

They are blind.

Mama, people are also saying
that I'm very very lean too. Look at me.

Go away!

[IN IGBO] Good day Papa.

[IN IGBO] Hillary welcome.

Thank you papa.

- I have a meeting with the district officer.
- Okay.

And eh... when I come back, we will see.

Okay papa. Thank you.

And eh... on the other hand.

- Father Kettle...
- Oh, okay.

- have been asking of you.
- Oh really?

Please, now that you're back,
find time to see him.

I will. I will papa.

[HILLARY] Thank you very much.

Hillary!

- Aunty.
- [IN IGBO] Hey my dear!

- You look good. Welcome.
- Thank you very much aunty.

- [HILLARY] Thank you.
- Ndidi.

- What is this?
- [IN IGBO] What?

It's yam that I'll... thank you.
I want to take it and eat.

Thank you.

I am very happy. Do you want
to chase me because of yam?

It's not about being slim. I can run.

[IN IGBO] Alright, run.

Hillary my dear, welcome.

- Thank you aunty.
- Welcome my brother.

- [IN IGBO] Mama Hillary, run.
- She hasn't changed.

She has, for the worst.

[THERESA] I will be on my way now.

Thank you my dear.

- Greet your mother for me.
- I will.

[MAMA HILLARY] Thank you.

Mama.

Who is she?

Oh, she's my friend's daughter.

By the way, your father and I

have something we want to discuss with you.

Okay mama.

[VINCENT] Can we please go and eat first?

I am sure that the food is getting cold.

Which food?
The one you cooked?

[VERO'S VOICE OVER] It was the first time
my father ever laid eyes on my mother.

My father was never one to be distracted

and at that time in his life,

all he wanted was to focus on his career.

- [MAMA HILLARY IN IGBO] Hillary, my child.
- Yes, mummy.

[VERO'S VOICE OVER]
But seeing my mother that day,

changed everything.

Love, such a funny thing.

One minute, you want nothing to do with it

and the next,
it starts to reshape your entire life.

[ENGINE WHIRRING]

[ENGINE STOPS]

[CAR DOOR OPENS]

[CAR DOOR SHUTS]

In those quiet moments

I would always wonder
what went on in my parents minds.

Regret?

Revenge?

Pain?

Or just love.

[MAN OVER RADIO] ...The principles upon which

- the united nation's organization was founded.
- Welcome daddy.

Thank you.

[MAN OVER RADIO] Firstly, Nigeria hopes
to work with other African states

for the progress of Africa

and to assist in bringing all African territories

- Today is Nigeria's independence.
- ...to a state of responsible independence.

The recent tragic events
in the Congo Repu...[RADIO STOPS]

[VERO'S VOICE OVER]
Did she find peace in those moments

when she wandered quietly
around the compound?

My father felt so.

It was why he moved us to Uguagi
and built such high fences.

[PANDEMONIUM]

[BELL RINGING]
Quiet! Quiet!!

Quiet!

Thank you.

Mr Nkemjika.

Please, carry on.

Thank you Mr Chairman.
Thank you very much.

Mr Hillary here hasn't answered my question.

In fact, he hasn't answered any of our questions.

[CROWD YELLS]

Yet he's seated like a demi god

forgetting the era of colonialism is passed

when he used to enjoy immunity
from personalities like Father Kettle.

- Nkemjika.
- [NKEMJIKA] Please, please.

Put that prefix. Mr. Mr Nkemjika.

Is there a question that I have been asked
by this panel or enquiry that I haven't answered?

If your issue is the look on my face,
then I wear it only because

- of my disappointment with this panel.
- [NKEMJIKA LAUGHS]

[IN IGBO] God's blessing has gone from bad to worse.

Let me tell you.

This panel wouldn't have been established

- if you had not messed up the funds of the community.
- [CROWD EXCLAIMS]

Funds put in you care.

Can you imagine?

20,000 pounds!

Yet, you cannot account.

- He cannot account for 10,000 pounds out of it.
- Mr Chairman.

It was my belief that this is an inquiry

and not a court room where Mr Hillary
is being accused of a crime.

It is an inquiry Mr District commissioner.

- Mr Nkemjika.
- Sir?

There will be no accusations made here.

Thank you Mr Chairman.

Then thank you District Commissioner for pointing out these flaws

interfering in this affair.

You see, if I had a lot of friends

you were standing topmost.

But look at you here

[SCOFFS]

favoring

Mr Hillary

just because you have a lot of powers on your shoulder.

What are you insinuating?

- What I'm insinuating?
- What are you insinuating?

It's very simple.

Establishing facts.

Mr Chairman, Mr Hillary here
has spent a better part of his life

- and finances in service to this community.
- [CROWD EXCLAIMS]

From his pocket, Mr Chairman. From his pocket.

He has prepared roads

sunk wells

- and he has empowered local businesses.
- [CROWD EXCLAIMS]

Nkemjika, making him the head
of this Trust Fund, was a no brainer.

As if he stood out as the most suitable candidate.

- The only candidate.
- Yes, yes. And look at him, a good man.

Here he is being pilloried
for what very well seems like a witch hunt.

Mr District Commissioner,
nobody is witch hunting anybody here.

All what we are asking here, is an answer

so that we can get to the root of this.

According to the contractor,
money meant for the final phase of the health center project

were due over a month ago
and he hasn't received a dime.

Meanwhile, government and missionaries

have come out to say
that all funds has been disbursed.

What do you make up of this?

Funds have been received, yes.

What we are experiencing now, is a minor glitch

- [CROWD EXCLAIMS]
- that we are trying to resolve.

[IN IGBO] God's blessing has gone from bad to worse.

May... maybe Prince, I think you'll have to come here

because you are the treasurer.

So, come and give us a better explanation
because from what we are seeing so far

the boss you call your boss,
is dabbling here and there

trying to escape. Beating about the bush.

Oh, Treasurer.

Are you drinking? Water?

Eh?

He's drinking water. [LAUGHS]

- Prince.
- Sir.

Please come, come, come.

Sit down, sit down.

Sit down.

I need you

to put yourself together.

With due respect sir, I'm the treasurer
of the community Trust Fund.

When they find out what we did,
I'll be the first to be arrested.

- I know. I'm trying to resolve all of this.
- How?

How will you refund that kind of money
in such... a limited time? How?

I will find a way.

But first

I need you to calm down.

Calm down please.

- You are drawing too much attention.
- I cannot calm down sir.

I cannot!

I don't even know why I got myself into this.

- Prince.
- Sir.

You did not do a bad thing.

Yes.

And here we are sir.

I'm going to need you
to bring all the files with you to me.

But what if they come requesting for them?

Just tell them that I said you should
bring the files to me for safe keeping.

That's...

Okay.

You will have to excuse us.

I don't understand sir, excuse us?

Yes.

Please, Commissioner. Please. [CLEARS THROAT]

[CLEARS THROAT]

Commissioner.

Look. It's not what you are thinking.

Then help me Hillary.

Help me understand all of this.

This is just a minor glitch that I'm currently...

Trying to trace the money.

I know.

You said that already.
You said that at the panel.

There's no panel here, Hillary.
This is you and I.

Talk to me.

I have already told you all you need to know.

Hillary.

You and I go a long way.

We go way back.

Heck! Your father got me this job.

I want to help you.

But I need to know how.

What a day.

[EXHALES]

Nkemjika is not letting this thing rest.

He's the one who wrote the petition
against you and the Trust Fund.

He's going to get that panel to indict you

and get the CID to investigate you.

You could end up in prison.

[ENGINE WHIRRING]

[ENGINE STOPS AND CAR DOOR OPENS]

[CAR DOOR SHUTS]

[WOMAN SOBBING]

[BABY CRYING]
[WOMAN SOBBING SOFTLY]

Take this thing away.

- Take this thing away!
- [CHILD SCREAMS]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

What's going on?

I'm tired.

- Theresa.
- You want to kill me.

- No.
- It's because of you I'm like this.

- Go... go get me the...
- She'll be fine. She's okay.

Go get me the padlock and the key.

- [SCREAMS] You want to kill me!
- No. No.

- Izuoba, calm down.
- You want to kill me.

Lily, take the children...
the boys to their room. Quickly.

- You want to kill me.
- Come, come.

- You hate me. No! leave me.
- Please.

- Leave me.
- Come, come.

- Leave me, leave me.
- Hey, hey!

Go get the key. Get the key.

[CRYING]

[GLASS SHATTERS]

Go and get me the key now!

- Take him to his room.

It's okay, it's okay.

[THERESA CONTINUES SCREAMING]

[CHILD CONTINUES CRYING]

- Don't worry. You will be good.
- I'm tired, oh.

- You'll be okay.
- [THERESA SCREAMS]

[HEAVY BREATHING] [PADLOCK CLICKS]

Take him to his room.

Just take him to his room.

Go!

Go.

[HEAVY BREATHING]

[THERESA CRYING] Don't talk to me. Don't talk to me.

- [VOICES LAUGHING]
- Stop! Stop!!

[VOICES LAUGHING AND TALKING INDISTINCTLY]

[VOICES CONTINUE TALKING, SINGING AND LAUGHING]
[THERESA SCREAMS]

Hillary! Hillary!!

Hillary help me.

[BIRDS CAWING]

You know you look good in bright colours.

You look good in blue.
It should be your best colour.

Thank you. [LAUGHS]

So...

Good evening ladies.

Isn't it too dangerous for you ladies
to be walking on this lonely road all by yourselves?

We walk on these lonely roads all by
ourselves every time quite fine, thank you.

Oh I see. Indeed you are fine.

In short, you are very fine.

As a matter of fact, you are too fine. [LAUGHS]

My name is Hillary.
We met yesterday.

Yes.

Oh, I remember you.

- From Nma's house.
- Indeed.

So you did remember me
but you did not stop to say hello to me.

I...[LAUGHS]

Can you please stop walking.
I need to catch my breath.

And this lazy one right here
is my cousin, Vincent.

Not a pleasure.

You have such a beautiful smile.

Thank you.

You too. You have a very beautiful smile.

Is it okay if we...

walk you home?

Wait. What?

Have you forgotten
that we have a very important meeting

the other direction?

That can wait.

Wait? What?

[THERESA] I really have to go now.

I know my parents
will not like to see me outside.

Especially with a man.

But our parents know each other.

Not really.

Just your mom and my mom

because they teach
at the same baptist class in church.

Okay.

Then you have to promise me
that you would allow me take you to the empire festival

in Calabar, this Saturday.

I can't.

But why?

I have a lot of chores on the weekend and

I'm not sure I would be done.

But I would like us to take photographs.

- Really?
- Yes, really.

But photographs are expensive.

Oh well I know, but I have been saving
for the past one year

to take a photograph.

I do it with someone I really care about.

I would only be happy if
I do it with someone I really care about.

I really don't think I can.

Well then you would leave me with no choice.

I don't understand.

What I'm trying to make you understand
is that I will be here Saturday noon

singing out your name
until you come out to meet me here.

Then my father will meet you with his gun.

Oh, then I shall die in your arms
with a bullet in my chest.

No. You will die in front of that house
with the sun in your face.

[LAUGHS]

Please.

I will see what I can do.

Just wait for me at the station. At three.

Okay. Then I shall count the hours

the minutes and the seconds.

Bye.

- Bye bye.
- Bye.

- Go.
- Oh, yes.

Father Kettle, you sent for me.

- Hill boy.
- Yes, Father.

How're you?

How is life at the shipping company?

All is well, Father. Thank you.

But I do not see myself
working there any much longer.

Why if I may ask?

Well, Father, I want to move back
home and help my people.

Is that all?

I want to settle down, Father.

Get married and

and start a family.

Are you sure your family is not pressuring you?

No, Father.

Have you met someone?

Yes, Father.

Are you sure you're just not lusting after her?

No, Father.

I have met with a lot of women in my life but

she makes me feel different, Father.

I see.

Father...

I want to marry her, Father.

Are you sure that you've thought this through?

You're not just acting?

I know how you get
when you have something in your mind.

I know, Father. But

you also know that I... I'm not one
to make promises and go back on them.

Hmm.

This must be serious.

Please tell me more about her.

Oh, Father.

She's an amazing woman.
She has the prettiest smile

- the prettiest face of...
- Slow down. Slow down.

Maybe if we can start with her name first.

Oh, Father.

Her name is Theresa.

And she has the most lovely soul on earth.

She's a girl after my heart.

I want to be with her

and nothing else to say.

[SINGING AND DRUMMING]

[VERO'S VOICE OVER] They were so happy together

and in such a short time

there wasn't a love on the face of the earth
that blossomed like theirs.

Mathias!

Master.

Where are the negatives?

I gave them to you, Master.

Hello.

- I've looked all over.
- Hello.

Good afternoon. I'm sorry,
we don't have any job openings right now.

I'll post it outside when we do.

Oh, no. But we are here to take photographs.

- [MATHIAS LAUGHS]
- Ah, no you can't.

I think we should leave now.

No... why?

It's fifty shillings.

Oh, but I have fifty shillings here.

Okay, well...

There you go.

Besides, Father Kettle recommended you

and he sends his regards.

Oh! Father Kettle. Please... please
give him my regards also. Thank you.

Stop your laughing and get the chairs
together for our customers, please.

Okay, Master.

Please, follow me.

This way.

You lady...

Madam, you sit here.

- Sir, please stand here.
- Okay.

Okay.

Stay like that. Don't move.

After the count of 3

say cheese, I will take.

Okay?

3, 2, 1...

[CAMERA SHUTTERS]

[CAR DOOR SHUTS] Hey.

Hello.

Imagine what it would be like

to get your picture taken
and have it immediately.

Oh my darling. That would be impossible.

I know. I know.

Sing for me.

[CLEARS THROAT]

[SINGING]Eidelweiss... Eidelweiss.

Every morning you greet me.

[LAUGHS]

You sing good.

Just good?

I was thinking I sing so well
that I have plans of sending back that

King Cole back to wherever he crawled out from.

[LAUGHS]

You are such a joker.

You want to send King Cole back.

So, asides from sending King Cole
back to where he came from,

what other plans do you have?

Well, I... I intend to help my people.

With all this talk of independence around

I hope to do something for my people

and give them a better life.

You want to become a politician?

Far from it.

Good. I don't like politicians.

All talk, no action.

Ah, well you keep asking if I'll become a politician

then I might just become one.

Wait, wait, wait.

You are frustrating me.

With the way you are going,
we can't deliver anything.

Sorry sir.

Don't let this drop.

I said you wind. Okay?

When you wind, if there's a problem

if this is coming out, you'll push it

You push it back in

and then the money flows out into the basin.

So what is hard in there?

Sorry sir.

Hello, Mr Hillary.

Yes?

Uh, good to see you.

- Yes?
- I love what I'm seeing here.

Very lovely. And you're also
getting your hands dirty too.

Thank you.

And who are you?

Sorry. How rude of me.

I am Fred.

These are my colleagues.

We are from the CID.

We'll like to discuss a few things with you.

Oh well. I..I

Can we do this another...
as you can see we are very busy here.

I have a delivery to catch up with.

- Please.
- Very well.

We have all the time and we'll wait.

On a second thought,
maybe we should just talk about it now.

Okay.

We are here as regards the funds
for the community health center.

So we would like to see
every single file regarding that.

Well, the... all the files are not in one place

so I will have to gather them together

for you to have them and so
if you can come back, say in two weeks?

Mr Hillary

you have till tomorrow.

Till tomorrow?

Okay.

What are you standing there doing?

[VERO'S VOICE OVER] Moving out here
didn't fully protect us from everything.

- But at least in here, we had our peace.
- [WOMAN] Charles!

Charles.

I knew you will be here.

What are you doing here, this boy?

What are you doing here, Charles?

You don't listen. Move.

What were you doing there?

- My ear, my ear. Ow!
- What were you doing there?

- What were you doing?
- She was teaching me quadratic equation.

You are very stupid. Qua... what?

- How many times have I told you not to go to that house.
- Mommy please.

[DOOR OPENS]

Have you come to check
on the mad woman you married

to see if she has destroyed everything?

I didn't marry a mad woman.

Izuoba.

Hillary, get out.

Get out.

[IN IGBO] ...-

If it would make you happy.

[SOBS SOFTLY]

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

[CRYING]

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

It's okay.

Looks like today is one of those...

good days.

Vero.

Are you okay?

Hmm?

Lilian had an incident
with one of her school mate's mom earlier.

- But she'll be fine.
- What happened?

The usual.

I'll start lunch.

[EXHALES] Vero, thank you.

For what?

For everything.

Look

you are a teenager.

You are supposed to be out there
playing with your mates

you know, dodging to see boys.

But here you are,
trying to be a mother to all of us.

- I am not complaining.
- I know.

But thank you.

Is everything okay?

I'm fine.

Why?

Recently, you come home
from work not your usual self.

And this isn't about mom.

This is different.

You try to hide it but I see it.

You've not been eating.
You hardly touch your food.

Tomorrow I'll make your favourite meal.
The one you won't be able to resist.

Thank you.

Vero, thank you.

Thank you.

Do you really have to go?

You can tell them you are sick.

But that was the lie you asked me
to tell them the last time.

Yes.

And you will tell it again.

I mean people get sick a lot sometimes.

I have to go to work.

It's only just for two weeks.

Just?

Yeah.

That means

you do not miss my company when you are away.

Oh, but I do.

I really do.

- [COUGHING]
- Sorry.

- Oh sorry my dear.
- [COUGHS]

You are only coughing my dear because
you want me to stay back to take care of you.

- Maybe?
- I have to go to work.

Why do you love me?

[MAN] Lover boy!

Are you boarding or not?

Yes please. One minute.

Why do you love me?

Honey, I would need a paper and a pen
because its a whole journal for all that.

I am serious.

I... okay. Alright.

Now listen. I love you because
of your heart and your beautiful soul.

Okay?

Would you love me forever?

Even when I am old and wrinkled?

But of course I will, my dear.

But you have to remember that when
you are old and wrinkled, I would be wrinkler.

[HORN BLASTING]

You are going to miss your boat.

I love you.

Forever and always.

I love you.

Oh!

[MAN ON BOAT] Does she have a sister?
A beautiful one?

[ALL CHEERING] Lover boy!

[BOAT HORN BLARING]

Hmm?

[KNOCKS]

Jude, is that you?

[KNOCKING]
Jude, is that you?

Jude, is that you?

It's James mommy but Jude is here.

Where is Veronica?

She went to daddy's factory

- And sister Lilian is sleeping.
- Shut up! I'm talking to my boys.

Don't be afraid boys.

Don't be afraid.
Mommy is talking to her bad friends.

They are whispering in my ear.

- Do you know where the key is?
- Yes.

Vero!

What are you doing here?

Everything is fine daddy.
I brought your favourite. Ukwa.

So who's with your mom?

- Sir.
- Who's with the girls?

Sir?

[HILLARY] Why did you leave?

- What did you tell him?
- I don't... I...

And why is he running away?

He's trying to play games.

Hello.

Where is Jude and James?

Where is James?

Where is Jude?

James!

Jude!

James!

- Jude!
- Jude!

[SAMUEL CRYING]

I'm coming, okay?

[VERO'S VOICE OVER] Sometimes I would wonder
if the only reason he endured

was because of the promise he made.

But promises are just words.

Words that can easily be broken.

So, no.

This was more.

[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING IN BACKGROUND]

Good morning, boys.

Where are your sisters?

Good morning, daddy.
They are in the kitchen with mommy.

With mommy?

Good morning, daddy.

Good morning.

[HILLARY] With mommy?

- [SINGING] Mama.
- [IN IGBO] My child.

[VERO'S VOICE OVER] There were the good days.
They didn't last.

But they were good.

It was a break my father deserved.

A break we all deserved.

- Hello girls.
- Good morning daddy.

Good morning.

Looking good.

Can I?

Taste?

Go and play with your boys.

Food will be ready soon.

[DOOR BELL RINGS]

- That must be Vincent.
- Oh! I didn't know Vincent was coming.

He's lucky I made more food.

- You know him.
- Yes.

- I'll be waiting.
- Yes.

That was heavenly.

I hope Vero has kept my take away pack.

F.F.O [LAUGHS] For food only.

It's food that will kill you.

Don't forget the women. The women too.

Talking about women,

isn't it time you found a wife
and then try to settle down?

You see, you are beginning
to sound like my parents.

Until it becomes legal
to get ten wives, then I'm game.

But for now, what is it...[STUTTERS]

One guinea for a bride price?

- I'll marry ten.
- Why are you like this?

By the way,

Theresa seems to be looking better.

[EXHALES] Yeah.

We get these breaks from time to time.

How long do the breaks last.

They last sometimes one day.

One week.

Sometimes months.

You see,

No one thought this marriage
would have lasted this long.

I'm sure the family would
not even blame you if you decide to take...

Vincent, can we talk about something else?

Okay.

Regarding the health center.

How come such amount of money was missing?

I hear you are now the

head of a department in the shipping company.

How's that going?

Well...

if we are going to be changing topics,

then we might as well just talk about the fine foxes

in the shipping company. [LAUGHS]

Why... why are you like this?

[VERO'S VOICE OVER] Uncle Vincent
was always a breath of fresh air.

I'm sure he was also an escape for my father.

Even if it was just for the few hours
he was usually around for.

Ndidi how many times
have I given you people money

to start one business or another

and I never get anything back.

You see, and the business itself never takes off.

Well, brother you know business is not easy.

But I assure you, this time
you will get your money back.

We'll pay back.

You are my brother's wife

and I care so much about both of you.

Henceforth,

you and your husband, you are on your own.

You see, I can't be putting so much
money and I don't get anything in return.

You see?

You spend frivolously.

Maybe if you had children
you will prioritize better.

If we had children?

Brother, if we have children?

Wait.

So our childlessness is now our fault?

- Eh?
- Really, that was not what I...

Brother, I thought it's God that gives children?

Okay, you how many do you have?
Is it not just one?

If having children were easy
why didn't you have more?

You have just one. Hillary.

That's even if you're the father of Hillary.

- Ndidi.
- [IN IGBO] What is it?

- Are you okay?
- No, I'm not okay.

You are the one who started this.

So you can tell me anything
because I came to ask you for money?

Because you are richer than everybody,
now you want to be God?

You are not God.
I will not worship you.

You are not God.

If it's your money, chop it.
Swallow your money.

I don't care.

Chop your money [IN IGBO] to your satisfaction.

Nonsense.

You are... you are God that I will worship you.

- [IN IGBO] Good day, ma.
- [STUTTERS AND SPEAKS IN IGBO] Get out of here.

- [IN IGBO] Good day, sir.
- My daughter, come. Come, come.

Come and sit down.

Sit down. Please, sit down.

Erm...

- So, Hillary...
- No. He isn't back yet.

You know, he has a delay
in his second trip back.

He should be back on Monday.

- Okay sir.
- Thank you.

- Let me go and greet Nma.
- Go, she's inside.

Theresa!

Theresa!

Theres...

Theresa!

Theresa.

Theresa.

Theresa.

Theresa.

Theresa.

Oh, who is this? Who is this?

You travel too much.

I never get to see you.

Well...

That's behind us now.

You will see more of me
everyday from now on.

That is how you men are.

You will tell me
what you think I want to hear

and when we get married,
everything will change.

Are you trying to tell me that
you have finally agreed to get married to me?

I don't know.

You don't know?

Maybe.

Maybe?

My parents like you.

They do?

- I shouldn't have told you.
- Why?

Now, you're going to be so pompous.

Me? Pompous?

Never ever.

You are such a character. [LAUGHS]

I should take you to go meet my parents

and tell them we are about to get married.

You know, tell the whole world
we are about to get married.

Are you sure they'll like me as your wife?

They love you as a person.

I'm sure they would even love
you more as my wife.

- I hope so.
- I know so.

What was that at the port?

What was what?

The girls.

Oh, the girls.

You see, the girls they can only like and admire

but eh...

I have got eyes only for you.

I am sure that is how they swarm
all over you when you travel.

But my darling, I told you
the traveling days are behind us.

Right now I want to focus on me.

Focus on us.

You know...

helping my people. Our people.

If you say so.

Of course, I say so.

Oya, smile for me.

What is this oya you keep saying?

Oh, that.

It's one of the numerous slangs
I learnt on one of my trips to Lagos.

Every man on the ship
kept saying "oya my luggage."

"Oya, my wife."

Like oya was supposed to mean something.

So, oya let's get married.

[EXHALES]

Where is the car?

Oh, it's uh... it's at the mechanic's.

So, how is the community center coming?

It's coming.

Work is going on well.

Hopefully, we will stop working soon.

Good.

Good.

You...

How are you?

I... I am good.

I'm well.

You couldn't have asked a better question.

I'm just..I was just wondering how

important these small moments are

for me.

For us.

Ah, you smell so good.

I was wondering when you would notice.

It's the perfume you bought
for me last Christmas.

Oh.

Was it only perfume I bought for you?

Naughty, naughty man.

You also got me under garments.

Now, I wonder what colors they were.

You wanna come inside and show me?

Yes.

Let's go inside.

- Oh no. Too heavy.
- Lazy, lazy man.

- Lazy? - Yes. - Oh no. Too heavy.
- Lazy, lazy man.

- Yes.
- Lazy?

You will see what lazy will do to you in there.

- Let's go.
- Larry.

Last to get is a monkey.

[THERESA] I won! I won!!

You're the new family monkey.

[HILLARY] This monkey needs sugar.

[THERESA] Come, come.

This monkey will get plenty sugar.

[HILLARY] Sugar, sugar.
Monkey needs sugar.

[NDIDI] Maybe I should be happy.

Clap for you

because you are a weak husband.

You have nothing to say even
when you are supposed to say something.

You take all the insults in the world. Keep quiet.

Keeping quiet.

What are you keeping quiet for?

Your brother insults us
at every little chance he gets

but you won't say anything.

And you're quiet.

Let's not forget that he has helped
us more times than insulted.

Oh, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Hear what you're spitting from your mouth.

Maybe your brother is even the reason
why I don't have children.

Even though you are useless and weak

I, Ndidi, the energy force amongst women

I am not.

I am not weak.

But your brother?

He will hear from me.

I hear it's painful.

Only at first.

Do we have to do it when we get married?

Well...

If you want to have your own children,
you will have to.

We can adopt.

Not that there's anything wrong with adopting
but wouldn't you want to have your own children?

I suppose.

Forget about it.

When we get to that bridge we would cross it.

So what do you think your parents would say?

I don't know.

[HILLARY] I guess we'll find out soon.

- [IN IGBO] My child.
- Papa.

Isn't it too early to start talking about marriage?

You barely know yourselves.

My husband how long did you and I know
each other before you asked for my hand?

You didn't even woo me long enough.

That was a different time.

Not this time around.

I promise you sir, I would love
your daughter whole heartedly.

In fact, I will love her until my very last breath.

That is how we say it.

That is how young people of these days say it.

- But do you mean it?
- [IN IGBO] My husband.

Are you praying for somebody
to stop loving your daughter?

Stop putting words into my mouth, woman.

As I was saying...

All I want is for my daughter to be happy.

I want her happiness. That's all.

But you, young man, you should know the tradition.

You should know that you will have to bring
in the elder ones from your family

so that we will all sit down
and discuss about this thing.

That is how it is done.

Isn't it?

- Now you're talking my husband.
- [IN IGBO] Right?

Yes.

Did you hear him?

You cannot come and ask
for her hand in marriage. Only you.

Bring all the other people.

[IN IGBO] Beautiful daughter.

[IN IGBO] So my child... my wife

Alright, get something for him to eat and drink.

- Okay, my husband.
- No sir. I am very okay. Thank you very much.

I just made fresh soup.

[IN IGBO] It's ofe oha soup.

I'm fine, papa. Thank you.

[DRUMMING]

[VERO'S VOICE OVER]What is the opposite of love?

Could it be hate or just plain wickedness?

Everyone's wedding day brings
with it the start of a new journey.

The 4th of April, 1944.

My parents started theirs in a different direction.

The doctor said my mother was going to live.

He said the worst was behind them.

But was it really?

Lead poisoning.

It would take a couple of days
to know the true extent of the damage.

At high levels of exposure,

lead attacks the brain

and the central nervous system

and can cause a coma

convulsions

death or in my mother's case
a severe mental retardation.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.
Blessed are you amongst women.

Blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, mother of God. Pray for us
sinners now and the hour of our death. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.
Blessed are you amongst women

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you amongst women and
blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, mother of God. Pray for us sinners
now and the hour of our death, amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee...

Mama.

Good morning.

I'm getting ready to leave.

[IN IGBO] Come.

[IN IGBO] Vero, my child.

I'm going to miss you.

Don't worry mommy.
It's only for a week.

Hmmm... you are lying to me.

I know it's more than a week.

I have something for you.

I have something for you.

- Mama.
- Hmm?

Where did you get all these money?

I've been saving it

from the little your father gives me.

Thank you, mommy.

This is too much.

Please, manage it.

Daddy already gave me some money.

Is money ever too much?

Veronica.

You are the first fruit of my womb.

With this breast that suckled you

I bless you

and I say thank you.

Thank you for being a mother to all of us

especially when I cannot be one.

Thank you. [IN IGBO] Thank you.

[SNIFFS]

Mama.

Hmm?

What happens to the woman that did this to you?

Don't...

Don't have that look in your eye.

[IN IGBO] No.

Don't.

Vengeance is not yours.

I..I have forgiven her.

[DEEP BREATH] I have forgiven her.

But I will never... never forget.

[VERO'S VOICE OVER] I had given
and lost out on so much because of mom's condition.

I was happy I was going to write these exams.

But I was sad at the same time.

Sir.

So even in Awka, you couldn't get a good price?

None at all.

Just keep the car sir.

Selling the car right now would just be a waste.

But I need money. That's the problem.

Oga, keep the car.

- Thank you for your advice.
- You're welcome sir.

Mr Hillary.

We asked for documents
relating to the community health center.

This is for a borehole.

Yes. A project I did about two years ago.

Bringing portable drinking water
to hundreds of people in the community.

Cost me about a thousand pounds.

This is for a lighting project.

I acquired a transformer
to boost local supply of power.

Cost me 2,000 pounds.

Are you trying to ask for a refund?

Mr Hillary.

We don't have time for this.

More-so, all of these projects
were not carried out under the Trust Fund.

I'm just showing you that these
are monies I spent out of pocket.

For the betterment of the community

and then here I am being pilloried for

10,000 pounds.

I make 500 pounds every single year.

It would take me ten years
to get me anywhere close that.

You're not giving me what I want.

If you save us the time

I will have it in our report
that you were cooperative.

What are you doing here?

Mr Hillary.

Is that how to welcome your guest?

Mr Nkemjika is here as an observer.

Since when did the law allow an accuser

to be present as an observer
in an on going investigation?

Mr Hillary, on the contrary

I am not here to accuse you.

The people who are writing petitions
are the citizens of Uguaji.

I am just here as a humble

community public interest lawyer

who is out to make sure
that this rubbish is...

Get out of my office!

Unfortunately, he can't.

The concerned citizens of Uguaji
have also petitioned

the CID

as concerning the slow pace of this investigation.

And report reaching us has also attributed this

to you stonewalling.

The assistant Commissioner of Police

has also instructed that Mr Nkemjika
be allowed to see the proceedings

and report back to the community

who have been agitated
as concerning the Health Center.

- Agitated terribly.
- You can have this.

[NKEMJIKA] Yes.

Gentlemen, excuse me.

Mr Hillary.

[IN IGBO] God's blessing has gone from bad to worse.

Lily!

- Mommy.
- What's the matter with mommy?

- Mommy.
- Take, take. Stay with them, okay?

What's wrong with her?

[THERESA SCREAMING]

Stop, stop, stop.

[PANTING]

Calm down, calm down.

- Leave me alone!
- Calm down.

- Leave me alone.
- Shhh.

Calm down, Izuoba. Calm down.

Calm down.

Leave me alone.
I want to be left alone!

It's just you and I here now. I'm here now.

It's just you and I here.

I want to be left alone.
Leave me alone!

Calm down. Calm down.

Calm down.

All of you should leave me alone.

- Leave me.
- It's just you and I here.

Look at all of you.
Look at all of you here. [CRYING]

Lily, go stay with your siblings. Quickly.

But they're crying.

That is why I say you should go
and stay with them Lily.

That's why I said go stay with them!

My children are crying.

I'm so sorry.

[SOBBING]
I want to hold my children.

You will. You will.
Izuoba you will but not like this.

- Let me help.
- Lily!

- I want to hold my children.
- You will. You will hold them but not like this.

- I want to hold my children.
- Not like this.

You are evil!

[INHALES]
I want to hold my children.

Leave me!

You will hold them.
You will hold them but not like this.

I say leave me. Leave me. Leave me.

Go away, go away.

[STUTTERS]

- Aw!
- Leave me alone.

- Leave me alone.
- Ouch!

Hillary. Hillary.

- Hillary. Hillary.
- It's okay.

[SCREAMS] But I want to be left alone!

- I told you to leave me alone!
- It's okay.

[GRUNTING]
Its okay. Its okay.

Izuoba, Izuoba.

If I leave you alone, they win.

Do you want them to win?

Then stay.

What will... what will happen to the children?

- What will happen to me?
- [CRYING]

What will happen to me? Izuoba.

You'll be fine.

[HEAVING]

You'll be fine.

Okay.

It's okay baby.

Izuoba.

Izuoba.

That's good, that's good.

That's good.

[VERO'S VOICE OVER] My father's voice
was always so soothing.

And in most occasions,
it helped to calm my mother.

At least, for a little while.

It's okay. It's okay.

[HILLARY] This is just a short term loan.

Can't the bank advance me the loan
based on my past performances?

As a sign of good faith?

Unfortunately, this is not done like this.

You need to put up the house again as collateral.

But I cannot put up the house again as collateral.

That is what put me in this mess in the first place.

Mr Hillary.

- You and I have come a long way.
- Yes.

I would have saved you the trip to town.

But without any collateral,
the bank cannot grant you the loan.

[HIGHLIFE MUSIC PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND]

Sorry I'm late.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

- You sure?
- I'm okay.

What are you having?

- Let's get you another one.
- No, no, no, I'm okay.

- With this, I'm okay.
- You sure?

Okay, I'll have what he's having.

Why did you ask me here?

Thank you.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Cheers.

Why did you ask me here?

See.

I have some friends within the CID.

They say this Nkemjika fellow is pushing that
they subpoena all documents relating to this case.

I know you keep saying
it's some little glitch somewhere.

But you're not coming forth with any document.

And you're not saying anything to anybody.

I've told you all you need to know.

Come on.

Come on Hillary, you can talk to me.

You need help.

And right now it seems like I'm the only...

Oh shit.

[IN IGBO] God's blessing
has gone from bad to worse.

What is the meeting for?

Planning the next action?

Not so?

How are you this evening Nkemjika?

You are okay. I am okay.

Keep your greetings.

But let me advice you, Hillary.

Stop being led by the nose by this man.

He will drag you to your disaster.

- Goodnight, Nkemjika.
- Oh, thank you.

Eh goodnight. Eh goodnight.

I give you.

[NKEMJIKA] Bar man, bar woman...
get me my drink. My usual.

[IN IGBO] God's blessing
has gone from bad to worse.

Hillary, you need to talk to me.

This man wants your head.

You have trusted me
with much more money before.

Yes, I have.

So, anything that would make me
deep my hands into public funds

is inescapable for me.

- You took the money?
- Hillary my man. [LAUGHS]

Hillary, Hillary. [LAUGHS]

- Correct guy. [LAUGHS]
- Shandy, how are you?

I'm fine and you?

Great.

Just brought these foxes on a tour of our community.

You look like you wanna have one.

- Don't you think so?
- No, no.

- No, no. We're good. Thank you Shandy.
- Okay.

Come on, man! Come on.

You need a woman. A real...
I mean a real woman, man!

You need a mentally stable woman. A real...

Hillary... Hillary!

Hillary... Hillary stop!

- [NKEMJIKA] I predicted it.
- Stop this Hillary.

[NKEMJIKA] I prophesied it!

- [NKEMJIKA] Two girls!
- The next time

you speak about my wife again

will be the last time you use your mouth.

Take it easy man!

I'm just joking with you.

I'm only joking with you.

How can you talk like that?

[LILY] Mommy, it's raining.

Let's go back inside.

- Mommy, please stop...
- Lily.

Go inside.

It's okay.

I don't deserve this.

Why didn't they just kill me?
This is worse than death!

Please don't say that.
Don't talk like that. Don't talk like that.

If you die what will happen to the children?

- I want to die!
- What will happen to me?

What will happen to us?

[IN IGBO] Please... please.

I have not been a mother to those children.
I have not been a wife to you!

You have been more than a mother
and more than a wife to me.

Please.

[IN IGBO] Hillary, look at me.

Look at me.

I'm trying.

I want to die.

[VERO'S VOICE OVER] It had been a week

and I was excited to be done
with my exams and headed back home.

Welcome.

Sorry, are you here to see someone?

My name is Ukeme.

You must be Vero.

- You haven't answered my question.
- I am not here to see anybody.

I live here.

I'm your dad's new wife.

You must be joking.

Lilian!

Jude.

Samuel.

They are observing their siesta.

Since when?

Since now.

Sorry to bother you sir.

Yes?

Sir, my pay slip.

I went to the bank yesterday and it didn't clear.

Oh!

Hold on to it. I will tell you what to do...

when you can go back to present it.

But go back to work please.

- [SECRETARY] Sir.
- Okay sir.

Thank you sir.

No, no, no. It's okay.

Have a little sir.
You've been down here all day.

No, not yet.

How could you?

Vero.

- What are you doing here?
- After all these years.

What are you talking about?

Like you don't know.
How can you do this to my mother?

Are you not supposed to be in school?

I wrote my last paper yesterday.

Oh my God! I forgot.

If you had remembered you would have
taken that Ukeme woman

back to where you have
been hiding her all these years right?

That's not fair.

Fair? Do you know what fair is?

I promised that I would stay by your mother's side

through thick and thin and I have been doing that.

I..I..I only brought her in

when you went to school just to help.

Did you marry her?

No.

- Are you going to?
- No.

And I'm sorry. I will fix it.

Vero.

Vero.

I will take care of it.

Veronica.

Mr Hillary.

You must provide every document
listed on this subpoena

or else you will be arrested.

[VERO'S VOICE OVER]
It was a moment of weakness.

A moment that showed he was human after all.

But clarity came to my father just as fast.

It never happened again.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you.

- I was just angry.
- It's okay.

It's okay.

I... I... maybe I just needed that as well.

I thought I needed a more matured woman
in the house when you went to school.

It's okay.

Daddy.

Daddy.

Mommy... mommy is missing.

Ha?!

- Your mom?
- Yes.

- [KNOCKS]
- [VINCENT] Who is that?

[KNOCKING]

Who is...

Who...

What happened?

Theresa!

Theresa!

Theresa!

- Did you see my wife?
- Your... wife? No.

[EXHALES]

Has anyone ever seen Oga's wife?

He's married?

And what are you doing here?
Get back to work!

Hillary.

I don't know if this is a good time but...

your staff look depleted.

The factory looks

ill managed.

What's the problem?

I took the money, Vincent.

What money?

The community health center money.

I took it.

You what?

Theresa's medical bills
were just getting too much

and

when I had a major export
I..I needed a loan.

Went to the bank.

They used the house as collateral.

The ship then had issues.
My products, all got spilled.

What?

But you never mentioned this.

I just got tired of complaining.

Vincent, do you know what it means

to see the woman you love

naked in the streets

children running after her

howling and throwing things at her?

That is why I built the house, Vincent.

That is why I built it the way that I did.

I built a sanctuary for my family, Vincent.

And they wanted to take it.

I just couldn't allow that.

I had no choice.

You see...

for many years that you've been married

you've been running up and down

expending money on doctors

native medicine,

anyone

who could offer you any solution
to this problem of Theresa.

And right now,

I think

[WHISPERS] this is a sign.

Sign for what?

That it's time for you to...

maybe move on.

Move on? I should move on from Theresa?

I know. The Theresa
that you knew when you got married

- [WHISPERS] is not the Theresa now.
- Maybe to you.

Not to me.

- I will find her.
- You don't see it. Do you?

Your parents before they died

- when they were alive.
- They wanted me to remarry.

What did you expect? You were an only child.

- This discussion is over.
- No, it is not.

Can't you see the problem
that this thing is causing you?

Do you see the pain and grief
you've caused your family?

Your friends?

- Just because of Theresa?
- Get out of my office!

Get out!

Fine.

- You are on your own.
- I have always been on my own.

Mr Hillary.

Yes?

I have a warrant to arrest you
and orders to seal this place.

Officer.

I know you have to arrest me.

But my wife is missing.

Allow me find her first
and then you can take me in.

Just give me till this evening
or tomorrow morning.

[CUFFS CLICKS]

Everybody leave this place. Seal it up.

Move.

Everybody stop
what you are doing and file out.

Seal the place.

[HAMMERING]

[VILLAGERS CLAMORING]

[BELL RINGING] Order!

Mr Hillary here, is a respectable
member of this community

and has earned the right to speak.

Mr Chairman.

- He's a criminal.
- [CROWD] Yes!

- Out only on bail. On bail.
- No. No.

Let me remind this honorable panel
and Mr Nkemjika

the law is very clear on this

- everyone is innocent until proven guilty.
- Ridiculous!

- Very ridiculous.
- [BELL RINGS] Order!

There shall be no more further disruptions.

Mr Hillary

you have the floor.

Thank you very much, Mr chairman.

Yes

- I took the funds without due process.
- [CROWD CLAMORING] Accepting his guilt.

Mr Chairman...

no amount of excuses

Mr Chairman

like I said

no amount of excuses

would make up for what I've done.

But I love this community.

And I have done a lot for the community.

I suggested the idea

for a health center for this community
to the missionaries through the help of Father Kettle.

And when the funds for the

health center was not going to be
enough from the missionaries, I

approached the Commissioner
for Government for support.

Mr Chairman, long before I was made
Chairman of any Trust Fund

I've always used my resources for this community.

For the betterment of this good community.

That's it.

That is it.

But despite all of that

I have betrayed the trust of this good community.

And I am willingly submitting myself

to this panel to decide my fate in any way

it deems fit.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Mr Hillary.

It is because you are a respected member
of this community

that is why we have decided

that if you are willing

to pay back the money that was taken

- you would be free to go.
- [NKEMJIKA] No, no, no, no.

- Mr Chairman you cannot do that.
- Yes.

- The power to do this is beyond this panel.
- [CROWD] Yes!

- This matter has to be settled in court.
- [CROWD] Yes!

Mr Nkemjika.

You forget very quickly

that this is a matter between
this community and Mr Hillary.

And this community has decided

that if Mr Hillary is able to pay
the money that he borrowed

we will let him go.

- [NKEMJIKA] We shall see.
- Mr Hillary.

Mr Chairman.

Would you be able to pay
the money that you borrowed today?

- Honestly, Mr Chairman...
- May I, Mr Chairman?

And you are?

My name is Elizabeth, Mr Chairman
and Mr Hillary here is family.

I have a cheque for 7,000 pounds.

[NKEMJIKA] The money he stole is 10,000 pounds.

- [CROWD] Yes.
- 10,000 pounds!

- [NKEMJIKA] 10,000 pounds was stolen.
- [CROWD] Yes.

10,000 pounds.

[NKEMJIKA IN IGBO] God's blessing
has gone from bad to worse.

Mr Hillary.

The panel would give you
a month to come up with the rest.

Congratulations, you are free to go.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

Who is she?

It's Vincent we should be asking.
Vinco, what's... what's...

Let her explain herself.

- Let her explain herself.
- Hello, Hillary.

My name is Elizabeth Kettle.
My uncle, Father Kettle, sends his regards.

- Oh!
- Congratulations.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

I don't know what I would have done
without your intervention.

I am so so happy. I...

Vinco, you came through
for once in your life. [ALL LAUGHING]

And there's more to say.

Alright, thank you, Commissioner.
Thank you so much Commissioner.

You're thinking about her?

Yes.

We found her.

You did?

- Yes.
- When?

Yesterday.

She's at home waiting for you.

[LAUGHS]

Larry!

I'm sorry that I left.

It's okay.

You are here now.

That's what's important.

I missed you.

I missed you.

What is this?

It's uh... it's from Father Kettle.

It's our picture.

The one we took on Empire day.

[THERESA] Oh my God.

- [THERESA] Oh my God.
- [HILLARY] Yes.

[FATHER KETTLE'S VOICE OVER]My dear Hillary

it was so good to receive
your letter back in May.

I had hoped to reply sooner
but my health has not been the best lately.

I was sad that you never got your picture from Carpenter before.

It had been on display
with other pictures of Africans at an art exhibition.

I made sure I retrieved it
and got you some compensation for it.

3,000 pounds.

I was so sad to hear about your money struggles.

I know all you asked was that I prayed for you.

But sometimes prayer isn't enough.

Action is needed too.

I have added 7,000 pounds to your 3,000.

I do hope that helps with the bills.

Finally, that's my niece, Elizabeth.

Please, do take care of her
and if Vincent is still single

please tell him he will die if he touches her.

For the longest time, I held on to the bitterness
against the person who did this to my mother.

But watching how strong my Father and Mother were
through it all paved a way to forgiveness in my heart.

...his wife, my mother, as he loved her before

or when he met her.

Ad over the years, my mother,
her episodes became calmer

and quieter.

Mama.

Oga writer.

[IN PIDGIN] What's going on?
Do you intend to sleep here?

- We are just...
- We are just what?

- [IN PIDGIN] People are outside.
- We are trying to wrap up.

You are trying to wrap up?
Is it moi-moi you are wrapping?

Should we die there?

They said they cannot serve food
until Mama comes outside.

Let me tell you. As I am, I have ulcer.

I have ulcer. The two oesophagus
that I have, it's only one that is working.

[IN PIDGIN] The second one has kidney problem.
Please let's go outside.

Okay, let me just ask her a few more questions.

- Just a few...
- [IN PIDGIN] You wan to do what? Ask her now.

Ask her. You see this thing?
If I use it to hook your neck.

- Mama, people are ready.
- Thank you very much ma, for your time.

- Thank you ma.
- You're welcome.

Let's go.

[HILLARY'S GRAND DAUGHTER] We all know that we're here
to celebrate my grandfather

Hillary and Theresa, their love story

which interestingly ended magnificently
and produced... I actually have

three generations of us here.

And so to mark their memorial we brought Teni

- [CROWD CHEERS]
- To sing "For your case"

Can I please ask Teni to please come up

- and do what she's best known for.
- Ah! Teni Makanaki!!
