Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,680
The famous five,
that's what we were called.
2
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,360
Even our teachers refer to us that way.
3
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,280
We were inseparable and
no one could come between us.
4
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:15,880
Nse,
5
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:17,520
Alex,
6
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:18,840
Regina,
7
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,080
Rume
8
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,920
and me Uche
9
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:27,840
10
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,520
Where is the salad I asked for?
11
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:51,840
I...
12
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:53,960
Didn't make any salad.
13
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,160
What was that?
14
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,200
I didn't make any salad tonight.
15
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,600
You didn't make any salad tonight.
16
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,880
When I left for work this morning, what
did I tell you I wanted for dinner tonight.
17
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:15,520
Answer me!!!
18
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,600
You said you wanted rice with
beef stew and some salad in it.
19
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,000
Does this looks like
the salad I asked for.
20
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,120
Why do you always insist
on getting me upset Regina.
21
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,760
I'm sorry sweetie but,
22
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,480
There was so much traffic today and,
23
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,680
picking up the kids
from school took forever.
24
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:40,680
That's your excuse...
25
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,920
Joe it's a lot of work for me,
cleaning and scrubbing every single day.
26
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,200
Dropping and picking
the kids up from school,
27
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,120
and then rushing back
home to make dinner.
28
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,240
I barely have time to rest.
29
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,160
-I told you I need a house help...
-And you are not getting any!
30
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,680
Do you know what the
problem with you is Regina...
31
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,680
You are one lazy
woman who insist on making,
32
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,880
a huge amount and out of every
minusculeproblem that comes your way.
33
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,880
You make me regret, and not want
to come back to this house is what you do.
34
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,800
Please Joe just
make do with the food.
35
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:21,400
I should make do with the food.
36
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,000
I'll tell you what,
37
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,400
Why don't you eat the rice yourself.
38
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:32,840
Thank you but,
39
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:34,600
I will just,
40
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:36,960
keep a bit for myself.
41
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,000
It's not a request.
42
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,080
Eat that food.
43
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,440
Joe the kids are here at
least let them finish their meal.
44
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,600
I said you will eat this food.
45
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:52,960
Why don't I help you.
46
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,200
Eat the food.
47
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,400
-No please.
-How about this.
48
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,000
-No please...
-No you try it.
49
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:01,000
Eat the food.
Eat, eat ahhh....
50
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,320
Argh!!!
51
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,000
Take her into the room
now, don't come outside.
52
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,200
53
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,400
You just bit me...
54
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,240
Did you just bit me.
55
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,400
You've been here for a while.
56
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:51,960
Why don't you come to bed.
57
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,480
Regina.
58
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:01,800
Talk to me.
59
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,120
I just wanted to brush
before coming to bed.
60
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,800
You're still not
upset with me are you...
61
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:24,080
No.
62
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,440
I didn't mean to do what I did ok.
63
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,280
I just had a very
hard day at work and...
64
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:37,040
Look.
65
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:41,200
I'm sorry.
66
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:42,560
I'm sorry darling okay.
67
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,080
They won't happen again.
68
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:46,400
I promise.
69
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,160
You know i've heard that
too many times before.
70
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:51,400
I know.
71
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,480
I promise okay...
72
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,120
It won't happen again.
73
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,960
I promise I will work in everything.
74
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,120
My temper...
75
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:02,800
Everything.
76
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:04,240
Okay.
77
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,200
I promise.
78
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:14,880
Come on to bed okay.
79
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,080
I still might brush
before coming to bed.
80
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:24,480
Okay.
81
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:25,880
That's fine.
82
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:28,800
83
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,040
I'll leave you to it okay...
84
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,120
I love you.
85
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:04,320
Excuse me ma'am.
86
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,960
-Hello morning.
-This just came in for you.
87
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:07,760
Mm-hmm.
88
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,520
Can you ask Ufoma to get
ready for her editorial implements.
89
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,080
-Ok ma.
-Thank you.
90
00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:19,160
91
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,840
Hello movie star, how are you?
92
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:24,520
Hi Nse.
93
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,120
What's the matter Alex?
94
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,280
I'm afraid I have some bad news.
95
00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:33,680
What is it?
96
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,440
Alex.
97
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,400
I just got a call from Stella.
98
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,360
Uche's house keeper.
99
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,680
Uche has passed away.
100
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,240
-You're welcome ma.
-Thank you...hello.
101
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:20,600
102
00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:21,680
-You're welcome.
-Hello...
103
00:10:21,680 --> 00:10:22,840
-How are you?
-I'm fine.
104
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,120
Oh my God Rume.
105
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:29,280
Look at that.
106
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,040
No....
107
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,720
Oh no....
108
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,400
So Uche finally got a
round to pulling this picture up.
109
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:39,760
Wow...
110
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,640
The last time I visited, I saw this
picture and some other art work,
111
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,240
all locked up in one of her room and
I said you need to put this picture up,
112
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,840
and she kept saying
"oh i'll do it tomorrow".
113
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:51,600
And here it is.
114
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,640
We were so young and innocent.
115
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:55,720
See as we're fine.
116
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,160
117
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,000
We were young but,
no definitely not innocent.
118
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,760
Yeah maybe not really.
119
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:07,680
-Hmm....
-This brings back memories.
120
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:10,600
121
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:14,960
Abuja is so fine, it seems
this is where all the money is...
122
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:15,840
Alex....
123
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:19,480
What a beautiful house...
124
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,960
It is...isn't it.
125
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,280
I was wild the very first
time I came here myself.
126
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,160
127
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:28,160
Uche.
128
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:29,680
Uche was a lucky girl.
129
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,800
Oh gosh... just when
we are beginning to relax.
130
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,440
-Rume.
-What...
131
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,800
Ufoma I'd already
given it to a copy editor.
132
00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:02,840
Okay shit!
I'll sort it out when I get back.
133
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,680
-Hello...
-Hello darling.
134
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:07,160
How are you Nse?
135
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,360
I'm fine thank you.
136
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:09,960
How are you?
Good, good.
137
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:13,440
Hello Rume.
138
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,480
It's been a while.
139
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,400
Not long enough if you ask me.
140
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,280
141
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,280
142
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,080
You know i've never been here.
143
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:33,440
Really?
144
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:34,320
Yes.
145
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,080
She's been asking me to
come for like, God knows how long.
146
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,040
And I never really
got wrong to doing that.
147
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:42,880
Because I was so busy with work.
148
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,400
It's a very beautiful place
and I love the home too.
149
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,920
Rume and I were just
talking about that actually.
150
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,360
She said Uche was a very lucky girl.
151
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,520
That depends on
her definition of luck.
152
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,800
I meant luck in the sense that she
had all the luxury while she was here.
153
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,240
And how will that count as luck.
154
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,160
What would you call moving
from a not so previleged home,
155
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:11,840
to a very rich one.
156
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,360
I'll call that faith.
157
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:14,640
Well,
158
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,040
I say it's luck.
159
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,840
Yeah you would.
Considering how your mind works.
160
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,400
Look at me,see problem...
161
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,120
What's wrong with you?
162
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:25,720
Oh ohhh....
163
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,320
It's because you
were born with money I think.
164
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:30,600
That's your grouse.
165
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,120
Even after so many years
you guys still can't stop arguing.
166
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,400
It's only been five minutes we've
been here and you're already at it.
167
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,400
I can see somethings never change.
168
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:41,280
Alex.
169
00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:44,600
I think it's inappropriate all the
things you're saying to me right now.
170
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:45,640
I ask again.
171
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,480
What's wrong with you Nse.
172
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,160
Am I not the
one who owns my mouth.
173
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:51,920
Come ladies chill out.
174
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:53,760
We only just got here.
175
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:58,840
Come please this girl.
176
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:00,440
What kind of drink
do you have in this house,
177
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,360
This orange juice just won't cut it.
178
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,920
We have brandy, vodka, wiski,
champagne and in selection refined wine.
179
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,040
What can I offer you madam.
180
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,200
I'll have a glass of wine,
white or red it doesn't matter.
181
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:12,960
A large brandy for me.
182
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:14,400
I sure need the kick.
183
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:15,400
Ok ma'am.
184
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:16,880
185
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:27,960
-You're welcome ma.
-Thank you.
186
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,600
How are you?
I'm fine ma, you're welcome.
187
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:43,920
Hey Regi...
188
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,360
What's the matter Regina?
189
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,480
Regina take off your eye
glass is there sun inside the house too.
190
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,360
For heaven sake
Regina, who did this to you?
191
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:02,880
What happened?
192
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:04,480
Were you in an accident.
193
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,040
It's Joe is it?
194
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,320
No... Joe can't do this.
195
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:09,520
Wouldn't be the first time.
196
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:10,520
What!
197
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:12,640
Joe has been hitting you.
198
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,000
Nse I said it in english.
199
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,400
But seems you don't
understand let me say it in pidgin.
200
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,200
It was Joe who beat her
mercilessly like this, and it's no the first time.
201
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,240
You knew about this and
you didn't say anything to us.
202
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,320
I said something to the
person that needed to hear it.
203
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,800
-And you could've told us.
-What difference would that have made.
204
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,560
We could have helped
intervene and stop this madness.
205
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:29,960
You think I have'nt tried.
206
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,680
Joe threatened to have me beaten up
the last time when Regina and the kids,
207
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,000
stayed over at my place.
208
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:38,040
I had to call the police to throw
him out, guess who paid for it.
209
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,280
Regina.
210
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,400
Regina how lomg
has this been going on?
211
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,040
-I am calling Joe.
-You would do no such thing.
212
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,480
Is like you haven't
heard a word i've said since.
213
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,640
I heard you alright
that's why I want to call him.
214
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,200
You would do no such thing until
you understand that your pestering,
215
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:53,840
would cause more harm than good.
216
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,480
Well it was my pestering
that provided you solicit,
217
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,000
during your seperation remember.
218
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:00,880
Nse Abasi.
219
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,160
So because you
allowed me stay in your house,
220
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,000
that's why you
can't control your mouth.
221
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:06,440
Ok announce it.
222
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:07,720
Announce it!
223
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,720
You're an ungrateful little thing.
224
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,240
What's wrong with both of you.
225
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,240
-Ask her!!!
-Ask her!!!
226
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,280
Miss goodie two shoes here
feels she knows best all the time.
227
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:21,360
For someone who is so
perfect, how come you keep secrets.
228
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:23,680
Does your husband know?
229
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,600
-What are you getting it.
-Oh I know all about it Nse.
230
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,520
-You crazy...
-You're crazy.
231
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:31,800
Stop it!
232
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,840
Both of you should
ashamed of yourselves.
233
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,040
You haven't even been here long
and you're already fighting each other.
234
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,400
But I don't care.
235
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,320
If you both want to wash
your dirty linings in the open,
236
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:50,440
But I won't let you disrespect Uche
in her own home by creating a scene.
237
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:54,560
Now both of you.
238
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:56,520
Sit down.
239
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,400
And try to act civilized.
240
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:14,800
Welcome madams.
241
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,240
Hello....
How are you?
242
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,000
I was instructed
to hand this over to you.
243
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,000
Thank you.
244
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,080
My dear friends,
245
00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:39,760
Let me start by apologising
for not being with you anymore
246
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,920
I know this situation is
quite dissapointing but,
247
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,000
Sometimes things
don't go as planned.
248
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,840
This is the first of the
series of letters i've left you.
249
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,800
We were all so close back in school,
with no secrets to hid from each other.
250
00:17:58,640 --> 00:17:59,840
But time,
251
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,040
distance and individual
challenges changed all that.
252
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,640
They're lot of things I wised
I had told you before now but,
253
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,440
I guess things don't always
happen the way we want them to.
254
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Over the years.
255
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,200
My life has been more but happy.
256
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,800
I might have a beautiful
home, cars and money but,
257
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,400
none of this really
brought me happiness.
258
00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:31,040
Let me be the first
to pour my heart out.
259
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,040
I have a lot of baggage.
260
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,040
I'm going to start with my marriage.
261
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:44,840
I know you have painted a picture of a
wonderful union between chief and I but,
262
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,360
The truth is we were
never in love with each other.
263
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:52,600
My father owed chief a lot of
money from a business deal gone wrong.
264
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,320
Even after selling everything he
owned including landed property.
265
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,960
My father was not even close to
raising a hundred million naira debt.
266
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,760
I was the bargaining sheep.
267
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,280
I was betrothed to
marry chief as a fourth wife,
268
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,400
after I turned eighteen.
269
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,720
This is the beginning of my story.
270
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,760
Sometimes the
one thing you giveaway,
271
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,440
were the only thing
that can bring you closure.
272
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,680
Somebody say I
273
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:25,360
love
274
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:26,800
Uche.
275
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:27,920
Wow.
276
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,000
That was some revelation.
277
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,880
I don't understand the
last part of the sentence.
278
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,600
Sometimes the one
thing you giveaway,
279
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,080
could be the only thing
that could give you closure.
280
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,440
Somebody say I...
281
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,040
What's that suppose to mean?
282
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,640
Remember Uche used
to speak a lot in riddles.
283
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:49,680
I think this is one of them.
284
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,200
Did anyone give
away something recently?
285
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,280
Perhaps something of importance.
286
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,320
Rume you might have a point.
287
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,040
Somebody say I
simply means own up.
288
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,240
I think you both are reading
unnecessary meanings into it.
289
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,280
Couldn't she be referring to
the dilemma of the whole situation.
290
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:11,160
And how it affected her.
291
00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:14,000
That really wasn't an
easy place to be you know.
292
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,360
Considering the fact that her father
died just after her marriage to chief.
293
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:21,760
Nse you might be right.
294
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,080
Because that's exactly
what the letter is about.
295
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,560
I know I will be really depressed if
my father sold me off for some debt.
296
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,320
Still cannot believe why
she didn't come to any of us.
297
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:34,920
She could've come to us.
298
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,680
Have you ever been in
a tight situation before...
299
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,240
You want to get out so bad,
but you just don't know how.
300
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,200
I have,
301
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,920
a little relate to Uche
predicament because,
302
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,000
that is my life.
303
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,440
For six years now,
304
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,840
my marriage has
been a living hell.
305
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:05,920
The late night started,
306
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,480
just a few months after Lily's birth and,
307
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,240
Joe is blinded on work.
308
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,680
Something inside of me told
me he was having an affair.
309
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:20,280
One day I...
310
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,640
I went through his phone.
311
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:27,280
And discovered some text messages
that told me all I needed to know.
312
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:28,760
You see...
313
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,680
It wasn't just an affair.
314
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,080
I knew most girls in the picture.
315
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,000
I confronted him.
316
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,000
And he beat me.
317
00:21:47,360 --> 00:21:48,360
318
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,800
Things escalated from
bad to worse after then.
319
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,960
Joe and I fought constantly.
320
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,280
Even no other than it's a mistake.
321
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:05,640
So,
322
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,960
the beatings replaced the talking.
323
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,800
I can't remember how many times
Joe beat me because I lost count.
324
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,560
And just reside myself to it.
325
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:24,760
This.
326
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,480
This is nothing compared to
what Joe has done to me before.
327
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,680
Once he beat me so bad,
328
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,640
then I cracked
two ribs on my right side.
329
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,560
And you still stayed with him.
330
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,560
What was I supposed to do.
331
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,160
Leave him that's what.
332
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,880
I'm a full time house wife with
two young children to provide for.
333
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,520
I can't just stop and leave like that.
334
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,760
How do I take care of them.
335
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:55,440
You know you have a store.
336
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:56,800
Come on...
337
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,480
We all live in Lagos and
hardly see each other.
338
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,760
Nse the last time
we spoke was over the phone,
339
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,880
and that was like what, a month ago.
340
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:07,480
And am suppose to just,
341
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,120
Dump my issues at your doorstep.
342
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,280
Regi... come on
don't say it like that.
343
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,200
I know i've been busy
with the magazine but...
344
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,720
That's my point exactly.
345
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,200
Regina does your
mother know about this?
346
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:22,440
No, she doesn't.
347
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,120
And why haven't you told her.
348
00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:26,960
349
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,400
How do I begin to tell her.
350
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,000
Besides.
351
00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:36,560
She will drag me out of my
marriage and Joe to the police.
352
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,440
And any saying
mother would do just that.
353
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:42,680
For me Regi...
354
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:44,880
Let me not lie to you,
355
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:50,080
I think your marriage ended
the very first time Joe hit you.
356
00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:51,240
I won't tell her.
357
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,400
If you continue to refuse
help from family and friends,
358
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,880
Joe will always have this
feeling that he can do anything,
359
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,720
and whatever he wants with you.
360
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,480
He needs the fear
of God to be put in him.
361
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:10,200
362
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,720
Honestly... that's it.
363
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,280
But seriously Regi,
364
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,000
what are you going
to do about this situation.
365
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:19,880
You can't go on like this.
366
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:22,080
I'll say leave the bastard
367
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:22,760
Yeah.
368
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,920
Any man who raises his hand on
a woman is nothing but a low life.
369
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:27,720
That's it...
370
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,720
Look I know you're
concerned about Zack and Lily.
371
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,160
About finicial situations but...
372
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,520
Come on sis you deserve
better you and the kids.
373
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,120
It's easier said than done.
374
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,720
Put yourselves in my shoes.
375
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,920
I don't have a
reasonable amount in the bank.
376
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,560
I need money for
mine and my children survival.
377
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,560
And a job search will take a while.
378
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,360
I need the finicial
security that Joe provides.
379
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:01,560
As you can see...
380
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,320
I'm caught between
a rock and a hard place.
381
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:05,520
Come on Regi...
382
00:25:06,120 --> 00:25:07,200
Why are we friends.
383
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,240
We can raise money for you.
384
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:10,600
Or what do you say ladies...
385
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:11,720
Calm down a bit.
386
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,920
I can give you four hundred thousand
tomorrow if you give me your bank details.
387
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:15,920
I'll do it as soon as possible.
388
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,280
And how far can raised fund go?
389
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:19,800
Just how far.
390
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,480
First of all she
needs to think of a plan.
391
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,120
She needs an action plan first, you
just can't get up and give her money.
392
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,560
What happens to her she needs a job.
393
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,960
She needs accomodation, she
needs to change the kids school.
394
00:25:34,120 --> 00:25:38,360
And what if her husband Joe just gets
up and run picking up the kids from school.
395
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:39,480
Do you want that?
396
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,240
Who said she's not
even going to run back to him.
397
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,040
I haven't said I was leaving Joe yet.
398
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,320
So let's slow things down a bit.
399
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:50,800
Excuse me.
400
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,120
I just wanted to inform you that the
lunch will be ready in about ten minutes.
401
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:55,680
Oh great am so hungry.
402
00:25:56,360 --> 00:25:58,400
I thought you were going to
say lunch was ready and served.
403
00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:59,400
I'm starving...
404
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:00,840
My apologies ma'am.
405
00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:03,440
But it will be ready
and served in ten minutes.
406
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:04,480
Okay.
407
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,120
Not to worry a clown.
408
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:10,920
She'll survive.
409
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,200
Thank you Stella.
410
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:15,200
I'm hungry.
411
00:26:16,360 --> 00:26:17,360
Ohh oh.
412
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,160
Who is this...
413
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,080
Excuse me ladies
I have to take this call.
414
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:30,840
Hello darling.
415
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,000
How's it going?
416
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,320
With that smile it's
either one or two things.
417
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:41,520
Boy toy calling.
418
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,600
Or her agent calling her
to say she just landed a role,
419
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,600
in that hollywood
movie she audition about.
420
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,880
I read about that in the papers it's got
them searching for freshly african face.
421
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,800
The very one that has
Robert Deniro and Jonny Debbie.
422
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:55,680
Really?
423
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,960
-Yes now...
-Oh I hope Alex makes the count.
424
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:08,960
Alex.
425
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:10,160
Are you okay?
426
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:11,440
It's Dapo.
427
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:13,800
He was robbed on
his way to the studio.
428
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:16,840
Is he alright?
429
00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:18,120
He says he is...
430
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:19,680
Thank goodness for that.
431
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,680
Now i'll have to figure out a way
of sending money to him becase,
432
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:25,040
they took all his money.
433
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,400
Why can't he sort it after.
434
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,720
No now, he's a struggling musician
things have been on the down for a while.
435
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,480
And you are not a struggling actor.
436
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,040
This guy is just
scammingyou and you're falling for it.
437
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:39,680
Dapo is not like that.
438
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,360
It's the same old story my sister.
439
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,320
Thanks a lot for the
money Uche I really appreciate it.
440
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,360
Anytime girlfriend.
441
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,760
So which of the building is his house.
442
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,320
Just go straight down and
I think it's the turn on the left.
443
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:08,560
Okay.
444
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:14,760
Honestly if I was told you can
do this kind of a thing I won't believe it.
445
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,680
So it's from the thirty
thousand Uche borrowed you,
446
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,080
that's where you want
to give your boyfriend twenty thousand.
447
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,280
Hope you know is till next month
your mom and dad will send you money.
448
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,320
And you've spent
all your money on this guy.
449
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,360
Won't you keep some
money just incase for yourself.
450
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,120
Rume how
is that your business?
451
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,240
Did I borrow
the money from you?
452
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:38,600
Please, please...
453
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:44,880
See you know that you and I we
don't like Fidel but Alex understands.
454
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:50,040
But you need to stop hammering
and hammering to let this sink into her.
455
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,000
Don't be angry
I won't bring this up again.
456
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:55,720
That will be the deal.
457
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:57,400
Whatever...
458
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,360
Rume must always talk.
459
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,160
Please leave me.
460
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:42,440
♪MUSIC♪
461
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:44,080
Teni.
462
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:46,760
Alex.
463
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:47,960
What are you doing here?
464
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:49,640
What am I doing here...
465
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,760
Why didn't you tell me back in
school that you were coming over.
466
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,720
You can't just barge in
here anytime you want.
467
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:54,920
You know am always busy.
468
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:57,240
Ohh.
469
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,080
Like right now.
470
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:05,720
Ok then umm...
471
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:07,920
Let me not keep you from your...
472
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:10,160
Business.
473
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,040
474
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,560
And it didn't end there, later
that night Fidel came to the room,
475
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,880
in our hostel, with this bogus
story of how his roomate girlfriend,
476
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,440
came over under the pretence of visiting
his roomate and ended up seducing him.
477
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,040
This foolish girl believed him.
478
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,240
Uche who had been
watching all along justv stood.
479
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,440
By the time she saw that
she walked over to this girl,
480
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,800
and landed her one hot dirty slap.
481
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:44,360
Jacked Fidel,
482
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:45,840
Pushed him through the door.
483
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,320
Trust Uche now.
484
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,440
I would've cared
for a moment like that.
485
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,880
I bet the look on
your face was epic.
486
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:55,960
I won't even have run for you girls.
487
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,640
I will never forget
that slap in my life.
488
00:30:58,640 --> 00:30:59,160
489
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,040
It brought me back to reality.
490
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,400
491
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:03,440
Nse really missed.
492
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:04,160
Yeah.
493
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,320
This is what I refer
to as a classic moment.
494
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,400
Why didn't we go
to Unilag with you girls...
495
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:09,560
Ahh you too.
496
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,480
You were so in love then infact.
497
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,520
You say you were tired of Lagos
and you might go off to Port-harcourt,
498
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:16,920
-to be with Joe.
-Joe yeah
499
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:18,040
Well Nse...
500
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:19,440
Buggered off to the United Kingdom.
501
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,400
Honetly you guys
missed out all the action.
502
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:23,720
The famous five.
503
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,800
Officially became
the three musketeers.
504
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,880
And our film persuaded us.
505
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:32,760
506
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,880
Girls wanted to be us,
boys wanted to be with us.
507
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,680
Ohh it was fabulous, we had a blast.
508
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:39,840
Oh my goodness.
509
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:40,840
510
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:44,680
Seriously Alex.
511
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:46,360
Truthfully.
512
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,000
I think you need to start to
taking yourself a lot more seriously.
513
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,720
You're a beautiful actor.
514
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:56,840
You got numerous
in lots of soft heart.
515
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,200
When it comes to your relationship,
516
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:03,520
your ass stinks.
517
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,000
Weren't we done with that already.
518
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:10,880
519
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,800
You try too hide but too
hard and you are a man pleaser.
520
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,680
And that is such a bad thing.
521
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,000
I'm not saying it is.
522
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:20,640
I'm not.
523
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:22,600
But,
524
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:24,760
525
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:26,080
How do I put this nicely...
526
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:28,160
Well,
527
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,680
Alex what Nse is
trying to say is that,
528
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,040
you play yourself
too cheap with men.
529
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,440
It's not every time a man
says jump you jump now.
530
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,080
Look at you.
531
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,680
I know men loaded to the
teeth who will kill to be with you.
532
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,760
Look how beautiful you are.
533
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,400
At thirty five you don't
look a day over twenty seven.
534
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,120
If I was a man
I will be running after you.
535
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:58,440
But you know,
536
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:03,360
I think it's high time you look
at yourself a little more closely.
537
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,120
Look at the mirror.
538
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,000
Perhaps you will
discover a little more self worth.
539
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:12,040
And you know, learn to start
appreciating yourself more.
540
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,840
Alright Alex, listen don't
take this too hard okay.
541
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:21,120
We're not trying to belittle
you or your relationship.
542
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,840
Darling you can
do better you know that.
543
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,960
If that isn't what you're
trying to do then what?
544
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:32,320
Look I appreciate you all being
concerned about my relationship,
545
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,520
But my love life is not something
I want you all analysing okay.
546
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,160
I owe no one here any explaination.
547
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,560
My relationship with Dapo
is my business so please...
548
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,080
I don't want to hear anything about this
anymore let's just change the subject.
549
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,480
Ok you're getting angry
because we're advising you.
550
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:53,720
I didn't ask for your advise, did I?
551
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,040
It's somone who likes you that'd
tell you that your mouth is smelling.
552
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,240
Right now it's smelling.
553
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:00,040
Rume...
554
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,280
Are you deaf?
I said drop it!
555
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:03,240
Okay...
556
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,280
Give it a rest Rume okay.
557
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,000
What is it,
bash Alex day.
558
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:16,400
Alright...
559
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:21,440
560
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:40,440
So one day,
561
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,240
He would get better.
562
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:46,800
He would get better.
563
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,080
Babe.
564
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:56,120
Where have you been Dapo?
565
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:00,640
I thought I told you
before I left the house now.
566
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,000
That was two days ago.
567
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,760
Oh, I was at the studio recording.
568
00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:11,520
So you expect me to believe that
you were at the studio for two days.
569
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,200
Well yeah...
570
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,120
Babe you know
how this things works now.
571
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,120
We were all there, me
Sammy the producer.
572
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:21,440
Baby.
573
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:22,480
We are on the roll.
574
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:26,400
The creativity was mad, see we
didn't want anything disrupting the flow.
575
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,200
I was at the studio today.
576
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:29,960
And I saw Sammy.
577
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:31,680
And you know what he told me...
578
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,400
He told me you left immediately
after your session yesterday at 8pm.
579
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,680
I was there today and
apparently you weren'teither.
580
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:44,080
So please for the love of God tell
me where have you been for the past,
581
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,360
Twenty six hours
and fourteen minutes.
582
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:52,800
You're already
placing me right.
583
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,520
Oh don't pull that card on me Dapo.
584
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:58,240
Fine.
585
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,400
You know if you
really must know babe.
586
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,240
I was out last night
with the boys late drinking.
587
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:08,640
Babe see we drank too much, we
decided to pass a night at Tommy's house.
588
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,920
I've been sleeping
all day see I don't even...
589
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:12,840
You don't look hung over to me.
590
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,040
So what happened to your phone?
591
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,600
I called you numerous
times and you didn't pick up.
592
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,360
Baby... the battery died now.
593
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:24,480
Dapo.
594
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,200
Don't play me for
a fool cause am not one.
595
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:30,080
Baby am sorry.
596
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,440
-You're sorry...
-Baby am sorry.
597
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:35,320
Baby.
598
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,680
You can spank me for being such
a bad boy next time, am a bad boy...
599
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:41,520
Baby...
600
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:44,200
See come.
601
00:36:47,720 --> 00:36:48,360
Baby.
602
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,880
Better mind yourself what do you
mean by that, don't do that to me again.
603
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,240
Babe why...
See now.
604
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,000
-What are you looking at.
-Easy nothing, let's go inside.
605
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,120
See am going
to take care of you.
606
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:02,520
I will rock you, I will look
after you and make love to you.
607
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:36,000
Look, I know you guys must
be thinking that am an idiot.
608
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,240
For falling for the same
tricks over and over again.
609
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,720
But it's not complicated this time.
610
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:50,440
Dapo came into my life at the time when
everything was just going so wrong.
611
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,160
Franklin just
called off the wedding and,
612
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,120
I had found solice in alchol.
613
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,720
Of course the script stop coming
because some producers heard,
614
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,640
that I had started
hitting the bottle hard.
615
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,240
So they didn't want to
have anything to do with me.
616
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:18,680
And am sure they didn't want another
Modupe Lawal scandal on their hands.
617
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,360
Yeah Modupe Lawal.
618
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,040
You both hit the
scene the same year.
619
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,120
Whatever happened to her?
620
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,720
Well she basically
drank her career to death.
621
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,720
and no one heard from her since.
622
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:34,200
Poor little thing.
623
00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:37,720
Ok back to Dapo.
624
00:38:38,240 --> 00:38:39,440
Oh yes Dapo.
625
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,000
I'd like to say that we
were destined to be because,
626
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,280
it was four months after
the wedding was called off.
627
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,720
It was just one of those days I went
to the bar, you know just to have my,
628
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:55,960
pity party drink fest.
629
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,640
I just ordered a bottle of
brandy and then Dapo walked in.
630
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,120
The first he said to me was...
631
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,840
It's a long way to the bottom.
632
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,320
I was like fuck off...
633
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,000
He said it takes two to tango.
634
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:22,600
Do you need help with that.
635
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,560
I just ignored him.
636
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:31,440
Before I knew what was happening,
637
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:36,120
he told the bartender to put
two bottles of brandy in front of me.
638
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:42,440
And then he said...
639
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:44,480
Whatever it is,
640
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:46,800
It's not worth dying over.
641
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:49,560
And then he looked at me,
642
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,720
and then he smiled
the sweetest smile.
643
00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:56,800
He said...
644
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,200
You know they make the
best burger and fries here.
645
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,800
We should probably
trade this bottles in.
646
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:06,200
Dapo.
647
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,320
Alex.
648
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:11,200
You know what...
649
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:16,800
Dapo actually helped me channel
all that anger and pain into love.
650
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:21,520
Don't get angry please.
651
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,480
If I find this hard to believe.
652
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:28,320
You know the part you said Dapo
help you channel all your anger and pain,
653
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:29,720
towards work.
654
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,880
For a man that is so
dependent on a woman,
655
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:35,840
I find that hard to believe.
656
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,080
Don't be angry, you
know I will always say my opinion.
657
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:39,080
What else is in you.
658
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,400
You just sat and allowed a
small boy to be playing games with you.
659
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:46,520
Excuse me...
660
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,040
I'm sorry to interupt but
I have another letter for you.
661
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:52,440
Thank you Stella.
662
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:56,720
Well, here goes.
663
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:10,840
Dear friends,
664
00:41:19,720 --> 00:41:22,520
My marriage to chief
was doomed from the start.
665
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,520
I tried to adjust to my situation but,
666
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,520
they are some things
you just can't get used to.
667
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,400
Some people saying and
then to love the one you're with.
668
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,600
Try as I mean I just couldn't
bring myself to love him.
669
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,480
For Chief I was priceless.
670
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:48,600
A jewel, a beautiful young
wife he showed off to his friends.
671
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:49,600
And why not.
672
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,600
After all my bride price
was a hundred million naira.
673
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,640
All his wives hated me.
674
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,600
The sad wife cannot even stand
the sight of me and didn't hide it.
675
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:09,120
Her feelings was so apparently
concessive from miles away.
676
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:15,160
The way she went on about it one
would think that she was the first wife.
677
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,560
I don't know what she had against me.
678
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,840
One minute she will be all smiles.
679
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:28,480
And the next she becomes this monster
raining curses on me for no obvious reasons.
680
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:34,400
The second wife felt chief
should've made me a domestic help.
681
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,920
So as to cope with the
dirt instead of marrying me.
682
00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:44,040
All the pampering
and showing off stopped,
683
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,640
when it was found out
that I could not conceive.
684
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,080
I was moved out of the family estate.
685
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:56,520
Away from the other wives
and the children because I...
686
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,080
was a bad luck.
687
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,640
I was even promptly band
from all family gatherings.
688
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,720
His wives rejoiced for
their wish had finally come true.
689
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:14,200
Being a very superstitous man Chief
didn't hesitate because he belived that,
690
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:19,240
we tamed his daughters with
what he referred to as my curse.
691
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:22,560
Sex...
692
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:23,560
is forbidden.
693
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,400
Because we did not bare fruit.
694
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,960
If it happened he will lose his importance.
695
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,640
It's funny what they literally say to it right.
696
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:39,920
I had two affairs after that.
697
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,600
Both men ended up in hospital
after Chief boys attacked them.
698
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,080
Chief even had someone follow
me everywhere I went because,
699
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,640
he thought I would run
away at the quickest opportunity.
700
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:57,440
He said he owned me and
didn't want to lose his property.
701
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,720
I am a prisoner in my own home.
702
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:07,800
One place is my heaven.
703
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:11,760
How I remake...
704
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,280
I speak from experience when I say...
705
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,920
money can never take the
place of true love or happiness.
706
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,760
It never came up with
the phrase you can't buy love.
707
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,480
I knew exactly what
they were talking about.
708
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,080
Love Uche.
709
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,720
Who would've thought that
behind such a beautiful smile...
710
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:49,440
Was a wounded heart.
711
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,000
But how come Uche didn't tell any
one of us that she was going through this...
712
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,000
She could've pick up
the phone and called us.
713
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:56,440
At least she wasn't tied up.
714
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:57,920
Why are you talking like this.
715
00:44:58,240 --> 00:44:59,120
Nse...
716
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,280
We don't know the extremity
of the situation she was in.
717
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,000
Just one phone call
could've make a difference.
718
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:07,360
I would've told my husband.
719
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,320
Or called my father.
720
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,560
The state police commissioner
is my father's friend.
721
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:14,880
I could've pulled a string or two.
722
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,640
Maybe a phone call would've
made a difference, then again maybe not.
723
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:19,640
What do you mean by that?
724
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,360
Don't you understand english,
or you are just pretending to be an idiot.
725
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,480
Do not insult me Rume.
726
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,320
I only asked a question but feel
free to take it that way, if you please.
727
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:29,880
I do not care for your tone Rume.
728
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:31,680
And I don't care Nse.
729
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,360
If you are that upset,
please go jump in the lagoon.
730
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:35,600
Maybe that will
help you cooldown.
731
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,080
Am I sensing some
hostility in the air?
732
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:41,080
Hostility...
733
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:43,680
I beg your pardon Regina.
734
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,360
Nse Abasi you will never change.
735
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:51,240
Can't someone open
her mouth where you are?
736
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,600
Since we arrived here, it's
always been I think this, I know that.
737
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:57,600
You always think you know best.
738
00:45:58,240 --> 00:46:02,200
Ever since we were girls you always
felt how to control other people's life.
739
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:06,520
But guess what I didn't take it then,
I mostly definitely won't take it now.
740
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,160
Stone-faced bitch!
741
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:11,000
What's all the anger about?
742
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,960
A minute ago we were talking
about Uche for God sake!
743
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:17,200
Rume.
744
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,640
I do have a right to my own opinion,
745
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:24,640
and I certanily will not apologise
for having a hold of my life.
746
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:26,760
And you Rume have no right...
747
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:28,200
No right to call me names.
748
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:29,880
749
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:31,760
Spare me the crap Nse.
750
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:33,560
You know,
751
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,360
If I didn't know better
I would've agreed with you.
752
00:46:36,720 --> 00:46:39,000
But you and I know this is just an act.
753
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,120
At least we don't have
anything to hide my question is,
754
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:43,760
what are you so afraid of.
755
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,480
Regina are you just
going to sit there and watch?
756
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,440
You know how these two get,
let them tire each other out.
757
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:53,920
What are you getting at?
758
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,480
Correct me if am wrong
your son is now what like...
759
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,160
sixteen years old.
760
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:06,120
Nse.
761
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:08,320
You have a son?
762
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:17,120
I don't have a son.
763
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:18,760
Yeah right.
764
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:23,560
Remember the time I stayed at yours,
when you boasted about giving me solace.
765
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:24,920
Well...
766
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:30,720
I overheard you on the phone with
Uche telling her about your long lost son.
767
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:32,720
Are you going to deny it now?
768
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,480
You eavesdropped
on my conversations?
769
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:40,840
Oh I didn't eavesdropped Nse
I overheard besides, that's not the point.
770
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,520
Why don't you explain to
everyone about your son,
771
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,880
some more and
what happened to him.
772
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,440
You had no right, Rume.
773
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:56,240
You had no right!
774
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:04,120
That was below the belt
Rume and certainly uncalled for.
775
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,720
You don't go spilling
people's secret like that.
776
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,000
You really overstepped
your boundaries this time.
777
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:13,280
I don't know what came over me.
778
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,680
I was overwhelmed by anger.
779
00:48:20,240 --> 00:48:22,440
I really should go
and apologize to Nse.
780
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:40,320
Give her a little time.
781
00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,440
We don't want this
escalating into something else.
782
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:48,120
But Rume, when did you
become such a miserable cow?
783
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:54,040
I think since the divorce
I've just been stressed.
784
00:48:55,720 --> 00:48:59,480
All the pain turned anger
and frustration inside of me.
785
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:01,880
I just feel I want to explode.
786
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,960
I'm trying to adjust to
this whole new setting.
787
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:08,720
It's not exactly
been a walk in the park.
788
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:31,880
♪MUSIC♪
789
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,480
You should know better
than to transfer your aggression.
790
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:36,000
Believe me.
791
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,360
You're doing yourself
more harm than good.
792
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:41,960
I know because
I have been there before.
793
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,240
You know...
794
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:47,800
after the divorce.
795
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:52,600
I asked myself where
exactly I went wrong,
796
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:53,800
to warant such....
797
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:56,280
disappointment.
798
00:49:57,240 --> 00:49:59,080
David was the total package.
799
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:02,720
I was married
to the perfect man.
800
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:05,520
At least so I thought.
801
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:07,320
On that faithful day.
802
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:10,600
I got home.
803
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,880
To hear a loud music
playing in the system.
804
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,160
I opened the front door.
805
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,680
I saw a woman
dressed in my clothes.
806
00:50:27,720 --> 00:50:30,520
She didn't hear
me enter the front door.
807
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:37,320
Because she had her back to
me and the music was deafening.
808
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:43,480
The first thing that came to
mind was David had finally done it.
809
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:48,480
David had the audacity to
bring a woman into our home...
810
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:50,920
Wearing my clothes.
811
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:54,280
I was filled with anger.
812
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,200
I pulled out the plug from the socket,
813
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:02,520
and the music stopped playing.
814
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:05,040
Immediately,
815
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:07,680
she spun around.
816
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:09,200
Behold...
817
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,840
Standing in front of
me was my husband.
818
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,320
David was standing in front of me,
819
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:23,640
wearing my clothes...
820
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:25,560
my wig,
821
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:30,120
wearing my high heels
and was totally made up.
822
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:36,200
To say I was speechless
would be completely understating it.
823
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:43,920
Rume, you are home...
824
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,920
I thought you said you
had a late meeting today.
825
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:50,560
Why are you dressed like that David?
826
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:53,640
Why am I dressed like this?
827
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:55,520
You heard me, David.
828
00:52:01,720 --> 00:52:02,560
Rume.
829
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:06,640
Please take a seat.
830
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:13,800
That's how I found
out about my husband's...
831
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:16,040
lifestyle.
832
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:19,760
David was
a cross dresser.
833
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:22,360
His excuse,
834
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:27,480
that his mum and older sister used
to dress him up like a girl when he,
835
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:32,040
was little and he
remembers loving those moments.
836
00:52:33,240 --> 00:52:37,040
So you never noticed anything
all the while you were dating?
837
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:38,040
No.
838
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:40,360
Although once.
839
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:43,720
About the couple of
months into our relationship.
840
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:49,240
Women's clothing and
undergaments in his house.
841
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:53,760
And when I asked him, he said
they belonged to one of his sisters.
842
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:59,960
And I wondered
if his sister was size 10,
843
00:53:00,240 --> 00:53:02,560
and this were size 14 clothing.
844
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:05,800
But I didn't push it any further.
845
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:10,200
When did you discover David in...
846
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:12,880
in the clothes.
847
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,200
It's okay to say women's clothing...
848
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,240
It was about a year into our marriage.
849
00:53:21,240 --> 00:53:22,800
For me priority was...
850
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:28,360
just helping David overcome his
demons and saving my marriage.
851
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:31,360
David promised to change.
852
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,840
He said my love was
all the strength he needed,
853
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:38,800
to pull through.
854
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:42,960
For he was far gone.
855
00:53:44,240 --> 00:53:45,640
There was no saving him.
856
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:47,080
That was who he was.
857
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:49,000
How was he was with Sophie?
858
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:50,320
Oh! He was a great dad.
859
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:53,760
Sophie made him light up,
860
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,040
and he absolutely loves her.
861
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,720
Things were okay for a while,
862
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:02,640
before David went back to...
863
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:05,600
being funny again.
864
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:09,480
I had an eighteen
month old baby to raise,
865
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:14,440
and a husband who wasn't sure whether
he wanted to be a mummy or a daddy.
866
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,360
I didn't want Sophie
growing up with that trailing her.
867
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:21,320
I’d had enough,
868
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:24,040
I decided to ask for a divorce.
869
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:28,600
My family still does'nt know
the real reason for the divorce.
870
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:34,080
You see David begged
me to state infidelity as my reason.
871
00:54:35,240 --> 00:54:36,680
So as to save face of course
872
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:42,680
Nse was the first person I called
after I decided to leave David.
873
00:54:44,720 --> 00:54:48,520
I stayed at her place for one month
before getting a place of my own.
874
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:53,000
She's the only one
who knows the real truth,
875
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:54,800
about my divorce.
876
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:56,920
Until now.
877
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:01,320
Well, I must say am surprised
you would call Nse I mean...
878
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:03,840
You guy are always
at loggerhead so...
879
00:55:04,720 --> 00:55:05,720
Well,
880
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:10,400
I think am closer
to Nse than I make out.
881
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:12,000
You know,
882
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:14,680
Nse was a true
friend when I needed her.
883
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:18,720
You know,
884
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:22,880
Uche always expressed
how she felt about my...
885
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:26,160
new lifestyle.
886
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,200
Yeah that's how she put it.
887
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,480
My new lifestyle.
888
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:34,280
She was convinced that
I probably met the right guy but...
889
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:38,040
sent him to the door
without even realizing it.
890
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:42,960
I gave my heart once.
891
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:45,480
It's never going to happen again.
892
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:47,080
Come on Rume.
893
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:49,760
You've only really
had one shattered love.
894
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,320
There is someone out
there waiting to love you.
895
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:56,000
Oh there are many men out there waiting,
but am not sure they're going to get anything.
896
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:57,240
Well at least not my heart.
897
00:55:58,320 --> 00:55:59,840
Come on Rume.
898
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,680
Don't you think you should re-evaluate.
899
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,280
I mean you have a young
daughter that looks up to you.
900
00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:10,280
I really think you should just
consider what we are saying.
901
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,280
You're a fine one to talk.
902
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:16,400
You know, I really should
go and apologize to Nse.
903
00:56:30,720 --> 00:56:31,720
Hey.
904
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:40,960
Nse.
905
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,800
The last 15 months haven't
exactly been easy for me.
906
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,560
Sophie is growing
up really fast and...
907
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:54,280
She is very intelligent
and inquisitive as well.
908
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,360
She says she wants to
be a lawyer and a ballerina.
909
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:13,960
You know she turns
three in two months.
910
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:21,120
And she says she wants a
fairy-tale princess theme party...
911
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:25,920
Sophie started asking questions...
912
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:28,640
and,
913
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:32,760
I never know what to say to her.
914
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:39,320
Every time the coast is clear,
915
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,000
she starts with the questions again.
916
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,200
How do I begin to tell
her that her father is...
917
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:51,800
918
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:56,520
Nse I only act tough to cover up
all the emotions inside of me.
919
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:03,400
That doesn't excuse
my behaviour you know...
920
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:07,240
Nse I just want to
say am sorry, am sorry.
921
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,920
I know I can be a bit bitchy
sometimes but you know,
922
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:14,360
I love you and the girls.
923
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:21,680
I can't imagine a life without
any of you especially now.
924
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:23,280
I'm sorry.
925
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,800
I really am.
926
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:34,680
Nse am sorry.
927
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:36,720
I'm sorry.
928
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:42,760
Come here.
929
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:56,560
930
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:00,760
So you knew.
931
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:05,440
That part of the last letter,
Uche's letter was directed at me.
932
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,920
And Sophie turns three in two months.
933
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:16,160
Exactly.
934
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:18,560
How time flies.
935
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:23,240
I can't believe I have
missed two birthdays already.
936
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:27,160
Sophie probably doesn't
hold that against you.
937
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:28,880
But I do.
938
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:32,240
I never seem to have
time for anyone else but me.
939
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:34,640
And that needs to change Rume.
940
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:39,560
The last birthday that I remember
attending is Zack's second.
941
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:42,120
No Zack second?
942
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:42,920
Yes.
943
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:45,880
That's... well that's a long time.
944
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:48,520
Zack is what nine...
945
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:49,520
Lily is seven.
946
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:54,320
Those two practically
my niece and nephew.
947
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:00,960
Well hey, you're not the
only one in the same boat.
948
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:08,320
We all have had our fair shares of missed
birthdays and the rest things and the like.
949
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:10,200
Hey.
950
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:11,880
I missed your magazine
launch remember?
951
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:13,640
Oh yes that...
952
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:15,520
So cut yourself some slack.
953
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:20,040
What?
954
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,080
I finally told the girls
the truth about my divorce.
955
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:25,280
-Right...
-Mm hmm
956
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:26,680
So,
957
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:29,280
I didn't miss anything
while I was out here.
958
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:31,400
959
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:33,840
-No you didn't.
-Oh thank you dear.
960
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:36,680
Yeah so...
961
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:40,200
Now that I'm forgiven,
shall we go back inside?
962
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:42,360
Please...
963
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,080
Of course we should.
964
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:45,480
Let's go.
965
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:56,840
This is the life girls.
966
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:59,080
Oh you can say that again.
967
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:04,040
Uche thank you very
much again am grateful.
968
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:05,760
What are friends for?
969
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:09,680
Besides you need all the
pampering before your big day.
970
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:16,040
First they was three days and
the resorts, now day fun at the spa.
971
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:18,240
I could get used to this you know.
972
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:23,160
It's was only three days at
the resort not a trip to the Bahamas.
973
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,800
I don't need the Bahamas,
this suits me just fine.
974
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:27,240
Thank you guys.
975
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:28,920
Look.
976
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:32,960
If I got a million naira each
time you've said thank you,
977
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:37,280
which by my calculation is about
ten times, I will be rich by now.
978
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:39,560
Girl you are rich already.
979
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:41,520
980
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:43,080
Don't you mean my husband?
981
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:45,840
Your husband is rich,
you are rich, what's the difference.
982
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:47,280
Is your husband money not yours.
983
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:48,720
Okay.
984
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:52,280
So Regina how do you
feel about getting married?
985
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,960
Honestly I have
butterflies in my tummy.
986
01:01:58,040 --> 01:02:01,520
You know... let's say it
actually explains how I feel.
987
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:03,640
I'm beyond ecstatic.
988
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:09,720
I'm getting married to my best
friend and the love of my life.
989
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:12,480
Please Regina.
990
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,000
This one you and
Joe are getting married,
991
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:16,880
hope you guys
won't litter us single girls.
992
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:20,080
Rume I would never do
that we are a team remember.
993
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:27,960
We were beginning to wonder
what happened to both of you.
994
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:30,520
-We didn't kill ourselves.
-If that's what you thought.
995
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:38,320
So Nse when did
you start smoking again?
996
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:42,200
I was just about to ask the same
question, I thought you quit.
997
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:47,480
Weren't you and Uzo trying for a baby?
998
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:49,920
We were.
999
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:54,640
The last In-vitro we did,
1000
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:56,280
failed.
1001
01:02:57,560 --> 01:02:59,040
I guess Uzo was tired...
1002
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:03,040
Of the dissapointment
and I on the other hand,
1003
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:08,120
tired of the poking
that brought in invasion.
1004
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:10,920
The things women go through,
1005
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:13,960
Can I ask you a question.
1006
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:20,480
Why did you keep your son's
existence a secret for so long?
1007
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:22,520
Shame.
1008
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:28,360
A lot of things complicated matters.
1009
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:31,560
Dad was running for governorship.
1010
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:33,800
and,
1011
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:36,960
I was... I brought chief to the family.
1012
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:40,400
A seventeen year old girl was pregnant.
1013
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:42,920
As soon as we graduated,
1014
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:45,360
Dad shipped me off
to the United Kingdom.
1015
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:47,560
No one even knew you were pregnant.
1016
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:52,040
You remember Mrs Jegede
the house mistress.
1017
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:53,640
She knew.
1018
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:55,600
She was mom's friend.
1019
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,080
So she kept an eye on
me while I went to school.
1020
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:05,960
Now I understand why you moved
into her house at the senior staff quarters.
1021
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:10,600
Did you know
who was responsible?
1022
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:15,080
I was only seeing one
man then one boy wasn't I?
1023
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:17,040
Who's that?
1024
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:20,920
Oh I think I remember him.
1025
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:23,760
Moses Okojie.
1026
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:26,960
But you only dated
him in the final year.
1027
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:29,880
Fine boy, very innocent face.
1028
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:34,360
Who would've thought
Moses was such a bad guy.
1029
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:36,120
Rume.
1030
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:38,360
This is no time for kidding around.
1031
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:44,960
I wasn't so innocent after all.
1032
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:50,400
When I told him I was
pregnant he abandoned me.
1033
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:53,480
Why didn't your parents
do anything about that?
1034
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:55,680
Politics.
1035
01:04:56,680 --> 01:05:01,800
Dad was taken, it swallowed him up,
he didn't care about me at a time.
1036
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:04,960
I think you see it now,
did he eventually win the election?
1037
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:08,080
So where is he now?
1038
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:12,720
I don't know.
1039
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:16,720
-What do you mean you don't know.
-I said I don't know where my son is!
1040
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:21,760
I'm sorry.
1041
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:26,920
He was 11 months.
1042
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:29,960
I gave him up for adoption.
1043
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:33,240
Ok... now.
1044
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:36,280
That part of the conversation I missed.
1045
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:41,360
Financial instability is
often sited as a reason,
1046
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:43,200
but you are from a previleged home.
1047
01:05:44,880 --> 01:05:45,880
Pressure.
1048
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:49,840
Pressure was too much.
1049
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:53,600
Caring for that little boy.
1050
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:55,560
The sleepless night.
1051
01:05:57,720 --> 01:05:59,520
My parents were
not helping me either.
1052
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:04,160
So,
1053
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:06,120
How could your mom leave you,
1054
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:08,600
in London with a baby.
1055
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:09,840
Yeah that was Charmaine.
1056
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:11,240
She was a good woman.
1057
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:12,760
She was Jamaican.
1058
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:17,960
She worked 7 hours a day.
1059
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:21,560
She resumed at 12 noon.
1060
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:25,440
But on this day,
1061
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:28,480
She hadn't come.
1062
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:31,400
I looked at him.
1063
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:33,280
I hated him.
1064
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:37,600
He cried, I hated his voice.
1065
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:40,440
I never even gave him a name.
1066
01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:43,120
I could've killed him.
1067
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:49,920
I got dressed.
1068
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:55,680
I took the little thing
away and give it up.
1069
01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:00,480
I kind of listen to the
counsellor talk to me.
1070
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:03,360
If I had listen, I heard nothng.
1071
01:07:04,480 --> 01:07:07,840
All I wanted to do
was give the child away.
1072
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:13,720
And I did it, I didn't
care I signed the papers.
1073
01:07:19,360 --> 01:07:21,320
So what happened after that?
1074
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:23,320
When I got home,
1075
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:25,520
Charmaine was paid by them.
1076
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:27,240
She called them.
1077
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:31,360
Whelm cursed me it meant nothing.
1078
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:34,560
She was far away.
1079
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:38,120
It took her two days
to get to us in England.
1080
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:44,560
When she came it was late.
1081
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:47,680
When we got there the next day,
1082
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:56,560
I walked in, I smelled
him, I felt him and I saw him.
1083
01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:00,760
In the arms of another
woman and she loved him.
1084
01:08:01,000 --> 01:08:03,840
She loved
the child that I hated.
1085
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:05,920
1086
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:11,280
How will the adoption agency allow
you to do that without parent or consent.
1087
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:14,480
I was over 18.
1088
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:16,320
Oh yeah...
1089
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:20,000
Does Uzo know about this?
1090
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:23,040
No.
1091
01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:27,800
Don't you think he
should know about it?
1092
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:31,800
He will hate me.
1093
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:35,000
He will hate me,
he will keep being...
1094
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:39,200
And the whole so pertect woman
he won't like me, he will hate me.
1095
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:40,800
Nse.
1096
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:45,440
You have the best man in the world.
1097
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:48,400
Uzo is...
1098
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:49,560
kind,
1099
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:51,600
patient.
1100
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:54,720
Most of all loves and respect you.
1101
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,840
I don't think a mistake
you made as a teenager,
1102
01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:01,200
would change the
way he feels about you.
1103
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:05,000
He deserves to know.
1104
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:11,880
The first letter that Uche wrote,
1105
01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:15,880
where she said,
1106
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:21,040
that the one thing you giveaway,
1107
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:25,600
could be the one thing
that could give you closure.
1108
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:28,360
Those were the exact words,
1109
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:31,880
that she said to
me when I told her.
1110
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:39,240
All the excess baggage we
just off loaded could crash a plane.
1111
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:43,040
God please...
1112
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:45,520
God please...
1113
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:03,760
Back in secondary school,
1114
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:08,000
Uche's smile is
what drew me to her.
1115
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:13,720
There was something
about her smile,
1116
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:18,400
something about
her person in general
1117
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:20,640
that,
1118
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:23,200
made me feel...
1119
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:26,040
safe.
1120
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:31,520
I remember when I first met Uche.
1121
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:34,360
The school bell had just gone.
1122
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:37,080
Lunch break was over.
1123
01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:41,240
She was standing
by the classroom door.
1124
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:44,800
As I walked in, I rushed in,
1125
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:47,440
and her books is scattered.
1126
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,640
I expected her to hurl
abuses at me but she didn't.
1127
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:57,480
She smiled, she smiled,
she just flashed a teeth.
1128
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:01,440
And then even as a kid I felt the warmth.
1129
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:06,680
Uche.
1130
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:08,200
Now she's gone.
1131
01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:16,760
But this way I can study before...
1132
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:20,200
Fantastic i'll be there don't worry.
1133
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,400
Ok talk to you later bye.
1134
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:24,880
Okay ladies...
1135
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:26,880
We've got another letter.
1136
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:28,640
I got it from Stella.
1137
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:31,000
Here you go.
1138
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:32,360
Thank you.
1139
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:34,920
Let's see...
1140
01:11:46,480 --> 01:11:48,600
Back in our university days,
1141
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:52,040
I fell in love with
the sweetest boy ever.
1142
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:56,280
His name is Benjamin Okoro.
1143
01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:01,880
He studied sociology as well
but I was a class ahead of him.
1144
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:07,440
It started out as an innocent
friendship but our feelings grew,
1145
01:12:07,440 --> 01:12:09,960
as we discovered
we had a lot in common.
1146
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:14,480
About a week after I told
Benjamin of my plight,
1147
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:19,280
he proposed marriage and said
he wanted me to elope with him.
1148
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:22,600
I had found my soul mate.
1149
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:26,880
We agreed to elope on
the day of our graduation.
1150
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:30,960
But I couldn't go through with it.
1151
01:12:32,440 --> 01:12:35,920
There were a lot of things at stake
and eloping with Benjamin wouldn't,
1152
01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:37,680
have been the right thing to do.
1153
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:43,240
I was concerned about him and didn't
want to put him in a compromising position.
1154
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:49,360
It broke my heart
but I had to let him go.
1155
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:53,360
True love is hard to find,
1156
01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:58,480
but never sacrifice happiness
in the name of love.
1157
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:02,200
Here's looking at you kid.
1158
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:04,400
Love always.
1159
01:13:05,480 --> 01:13:06,480
Uche.
1160
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:11,560
So Uche was having
an affair with Benjamin?
1161
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:14,360
I always suspected something
went on between those two.
1162
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:15,640
Who's Benjamin?
1163
01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:16,880
He was Uche's friend.
1164
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:20,000
The both of them attended the
same fellowship way back in school.
1165
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:21,280
At least so they claimed.
1166
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:23,320
But now,
1167
01:13:23,440 --> 01:13:25,960
we know what the
fellowship were really about.
1168
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:31,080
I'm shocked that they were able
to keep it a secret for three years.
1169
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:34,000
What was she thinking, what
if her husband had found out.
1170
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:36,000
That doesn't make a difference
anymore now does it?
1171
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:38,040
I honestly do not blame Uche.
1172
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:40,360
I can totally relate how she felt.
1173
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:44,080
So now that we know the last
lines of the letters are directed to us,
1174
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:45,240
who gets this one.
1175
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:46,520
This one is for me.
1176
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:48,360
Here's looking at you kid.
1177
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:50,560
Where have I heard that from?
1178
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:54,160
That's the famous line by Humphrey
Bogart from the movie, Casablanca.
1179
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:54,920
True.
1180
01:13:56,840 --> 01:13:59,200
Uche and I use to watch
it every time I visited.
1181
01:13:59,200 --> 01:14:01,280
It was her all time favourite movie.
1182
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:04,680
She practically knew all the lines.
1183
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:10,080
She'd even make me play dress
up with her act out the scene.
1184
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:11,800
We would even toss coins.
1185
01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:14,480
And somehow Uche always won.
1186
01:14:14,480 --> 01:14:15,480
1187
01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:16,840
I think she cheated.
1188
01:14:17,440 --> 01:14:19,240
1189
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:23,080
Oh ohh.
1190
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:34,560
Yes?
1191
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:37,360
Hey baby... how far with that money?
1192
01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:42,000
Look I can't do anything about that
right now you'll have to call me back.
1193
01:14:43,440 --> 01:14:45,800
Baby... baby.
1194
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:47,440
Why are you
treating me like this now.
1195
01:14:48,360 --> 01:14:49,360
See Alex,
1196
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:54,960
I've already booked a studio session, the
guy has agreed as long as I pay tomorrow.
1197
01:14:56,760 --> 01:15:00,040
Baby I don't want
him to embarras me there.
1198
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:04,400
I said I can't do anything about that now.
1199
01:15:04,440 --> 01:15:07,240
If you can't do anything about it
why don't you call that your friend Funke.
1200
01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:08,480
Let her bail you out.
1201
01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:12,800
Baby I told you that Funke
and I we are through.
1202
01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:16,200
That entire episode
was just a mistake now.
1203
01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:18,520
I don't remember the last
time I say that girl's break light.
1204
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:19,720
I hear you.
1205
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:23,480
Alex, so you don't have anyone
who can come down here and,
1206
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:27,040
loan me the money when
you come down you sort them out.
1207
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:31,240
That's a wonderful idea Dapo.
1208
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:34,600
Why don't you just go
ahead and call a friend.
1209
01:15:38,440 --> 01:15:40,080
Alex, Alex.
1210
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:42,240
Alex.
1211
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:50,240
Alex is already angry.
1212
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:51,760
Mama what's up?
1213
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:53,800
What's up with
you and your toy boy?
1214
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:58,520
Don't mind the idiot, anytime he
runs into a finicial fix he runs to me.
1215
01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:03,120
No day I have to pay either studio
session or a new guitar or something.
1216
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:05,480
He's been working on
an album for how many months,
1217
01:16:05,480 --> 01:16:07,120
I haven't even heard one new song.
1218
01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:08,720
Oh no no no i'ts too much.
1219
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:12,880
Every time he's in a jam he calls me
what do I look like, mother christmas?
1220
01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:15,400
Well you let him freeload for so long.
1221
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:18,320
What makes you think boy
toy can change overnight.
1222
01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:22,600
Stop calling him that he's not a
boy toy, he's twenty six.
1223
01:16:23,440 --> 01:16:26,320
Alex that's nine
years younger than you.
1224
01:16:26,480 --> 01:16:29,160
That certainly qualifies
him to be a boy toy.
1225
01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:30,880
So what if he's younger than I am?
1226
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:34,400
Look my relationship
with Dapo is purely based on...
1227
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:35,400
Feelings?
1228
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:37,200
Isn't that what you wanted to say.
1229
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:39,200
Should I borrow
you another word?
1230
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:44,880
Who am I kidding?
1231
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:49,440
Dapo is with another woman.
1232
01:16:51,440 --> 01:16:53,520
They've been together for eight years.
1233
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:54,920
I think I told you.
1234
01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:56,880
Am not a bit surprised.
1235
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:02,480
Her name is Funke and she works in
one of the teaching hospital in Lagos.
1236
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:03,640
Hospital.
1237
01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:07,840
I've actually had
to change my number.
1238
01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:11,480
About three times now because
I used to get threats from her.
1239
01:17:11,480 --> 01:17:14,120
And am sure that
it's because of Dapo.
1240
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:18,960
Them being in contact that's why she
was able to have access to my number.
1241
01:17:19,440 --> 01:17:22,080
So that's why you kept
changing your number.
1242
01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:25,440
And I was thinking cause
because you're a celeb.
1243
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:27,840
And that's what I thought as well.
1244
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:30,400
Ok so wait, she's threatened you?
1245
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:31,800
What did you do about it?
1246
01:17:32,480 --> 01:17:36,560
It was just a usual rants and
waves you know, I'll show you...
1247
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:38,440
Though once she used
the words I'll kill you.
1248
01:17:38,440 --> 01:17:41,560
But, you know we girls we just
say a lot of crap when we are angry.
1249
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:45,720
Alex.
1250
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:48,840
A witch flew at night
then a child died in the moring.
1251
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:50,480
Someone threatened you.
1252
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:54,760
You were not even
moved to be worried at least.
1253
01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:57,520
Alex you don't like yourself.
1254
01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:01,360
Stop being dramatic
Rume she only said it once.
1255
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:05,960
Darling once is enough
to pass the message across.
1256
01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:07,160
Just once.
1257
01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:10,680
Alex you don't take
things like that likely.
1258
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:14,160
You should've reported to the
police so they have it in record.
1259
01:18:14,480 --> 01:18:17,440
Please don't be angry,
I just want to ask a question.
1260
01:18:17,440 --> 01:18:19,200
You people should
help me answer it.
1261
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:23,280
Between a person who has
been with a man for more than eight years,
1262
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:25,280
and the man hasn’t married her.
1263
01:18:25,440 --> 01:18:27,840
and the one who’s dating
someone’s else’s boyfriend,
1264
01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:32,760
even though she knows it
will lead no where, who is the bigger fool?
1265
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:34,120
I'm only asking a question.
1266
01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:44,160
Alex don't get this wrong.
1267
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:48,320
We are not criticizing
you but only concerned.
1268
01:18:49,480 --> 01:18:53,760
I know we all have one issue or
another but, that's why we are here.
1269
01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:57,480
I'm afraid i've been alone.
1270
01:18:59,480 --> 01:19:01,280
That's my biggest fear,
1271
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:02,720
and problem.
1272
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:06,800
I need a man to wake up to.
1273
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:09,720
Aman to call during the day.
1274
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:16,120
A man to hold my hand in public
and not be afraid of a little PDA.
1275
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:21,320
The man who would let me be me.
1276
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:26,080
I had all that in
Frank before I met Dapo.
1277
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:36,920
And, all men see when
they look at me is sex.
1278
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:42,040
My being placed on
top of Nollywood sex symbol.
1279
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:45,880
Whatever, isn't exactly hepling.
1280
01:19:47,240 --> 01:19:49,000
Vanity upon vanity.
1281
01:19:49,720 --> 01:19:54,920
Tell me the truth Alex no seriously you
don't like being referred to as sex symbol.
1282
01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:56,920
Of course I do.
1283
01:19:57,600 --> 01:20:02,280
But for some people when they just
see sex, their mind just go to weird place.
1284
01:20:03,480 --> 01:20:08,840
Right after the list came out I started getting
all sorts of strange callls from random men.
1285
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:14,280
One time this illiterate trader actually called
me and ask me how much I charged for sex.
1286
01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:16,360
Can you imagine.
1287
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:17,920
1288
01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:20,160
You guys are laughing
it wasn't funny then.
1289
01:20:20,440 --> 01:20:21,440
So sorry Alex.
1290
01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:23,720
He was very serious.
1291
01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:26,800
Hello Nne,
1292
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:29,680
Is this Alex...
1293
01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:35,800
I saw your number in the paper.
1294
01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:40,760
You were number five
in the Nollywood sex symbol.
1295
01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:45,480
How much do you
charge for one hour?
1296
01:20:45,480 --> 01:20:48,240
1297
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:51,600
I'm trying to pour my heart out here.
1298
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:53,320
Sorry babe.
1299
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:55,000
Put a stop in it girls.
1300
01:20:56,720 --> 01:20:57,720
Look.
1301
01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:00,760
I'm not as patient
as you Regina,
1302
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:07,600
or as tough and outspoken like you Rume,
or even a good organiser like you Nse.
1303
01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:10,880
You all have your strength,
1304
01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:13,280
in your own unique ways.
1305
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:16,080
As for me.
1306
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:20,240
I'm a great actor, if I can humbly but,
1307
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:24,760
when it comes to men am
a total ditsy, I could be blonde.
1308
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:30,200
I don't want to date a dozen
men before I find my Mr. Right.
1309
01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:33,320
That's why am making
do with Mr. Right now.
1310
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:35,960
And that's Dapo.
1311
01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:40,880
He was the first man that didn't
want to shag me right off the back so,
1312
01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:43,280
naturally that place is
him at the top of the list.
1313
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:45,760
This guy is a player Alex.
1314
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:48,880
And he's playing his
cards right with you.
1315
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:53,160
It's sad you're giving him the
advantage you have the winning card.
1316
01:21:53,440 --> 01:21:54,720
But you're letting him win.
1317
01:21:55,440 --> 01:21:59,320
So what are you going to do
about this love triangle situation?
1318
01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:01,760
I honestly don't know.
1319
01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:07,200
I'm in love with Dapo but I don't
really see a future with him.
1320
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:08,920
You're one confused woman Alex.
1321
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:11,280
You're not so sure about it.
1322
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:13,000
Why are you still there with him?
1323
01:22:13,480 --> 01:22:16,720
I already told you am
afraid of being alone.
1324
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:19,400
So is that a good enough
reason to stay with him?
1325
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:24,200
Have you thought about how
potentially dangerous this could be.
1326
01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:28,520
This Funke lady has made
numerous calls threatening you.
1327
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:32,760
Don't you think one day she'd make good
her promise in order to keep her man.
1328
01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:36,080
After all, you are a
threat to her happiness.
1329
01:22:38,080 --> 01:22:39,840
Regina are
you the one talking?
1330
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:40,480
What?
1331
01:22:40,480 --> 01:22:41,480
Say it again so I can hear it.
1332
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:45,880
Please don't get
involved with this matter at all.
1333
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:47,640
Don't draw the ring here please.
1334
01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:50,200
Pot calling kettle black.
1335
01:22:53,920 --> 01:22:55,960
Do you really think
it could get that bad?
1336
01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:58,240
I don't know am just
saying, I could be wrong.
1337
01:22:58,240 --> 01:22:59,720
Let her try it now.
1338
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:01,880
Unless she wants to draw a ring.
1339
01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:04,080
Are you scared Alex?
1340
01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:06,240
No i'm not afraid am just...
1341
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:08,000
Worried.
1342
01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:11,040
It is worth worrying about.
1343
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:17,840
We should never take such things
likely or take them with a pinch of salt.
1344
01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:21,560
And just like Regina said.
1345
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:26,640
Report the case to the police.
1346
01:23:27,440 --> 01:23:28,840
I would take my own advise.
1347
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:32,800
I don't think he's worth the trouble Dapo.
1348
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:37,040
Alex honestly, if push come to shove,
1349
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:42,320
and Dapo has to choose between
you and this his aunty Funke.
1350
01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:45,320
My bet is he would go with this Funke.
1351
01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:47,880
Truth be told.
1352
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:50,040
I'm with Rume on this one.
1353
01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:55,800
That boy sees you as an in
road to the zenith of his career.
1354
01:23:57,880 --> 01:24:02,880
And you his ladder he just like.
1355
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:08,880
I'm going to need some time to think.
1356
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:10,760
-Alex.
-That's enough!
1357
01:24:10,880 --> 01:24:12,160
Let me finish.
1358
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:18,080
We can only give you advice but
it's up to you to make your descision.
1359
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:22,040
Whatever you decide
we'll be there to support you.
1360
01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:24,080
Take your advice love.
1361
01:24:49,240 --> 01:24:50,640
Dear friends,
1362
01:24:52,760 --> 01:24:56,960
I never knew how to go about
telling you all what my life was like.
1363
01:24:57,680 --> 01:25:03,640
It's pretty hard to let the
tears flow in front of loved ones,
1364
01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:07,880
when you are that shoulder
they need to cry on.
1365
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:19,760
A lot of times I wanted to scream out loud
and hoped someone would just hear me.
1366
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:25,280
I tried but the words
just never came out.
1367
01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:29,280
I had a voice but I
couldn't speak.
1368
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:33,680
I had been locked up for so long and
had become a prisoner in a home,
1369
01:25:33,680 --> 01:25:35,680
that was once my refuge.
1370
01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:41,840
It's a great sacrifice when
you put others before you,
1371
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:49,560
but sometimes you only need one
look in the mirror to see the scars.
1372
01:25:52,680 --> 01:25:54,360
We all are guilty here.
1373
01:25:57,800 --> 01:26:01,680
It's funny how we all ran
to Uche with our problems,
1374
01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:06,440
But we never spent a second to notice
she was going through stuff herself.
1375
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:16,680
I guess we were so into hallowing our problems
subconciously Uche became the listening ear.
1376
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:21,160
I always admired Uche's strength.
1377
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:25,880
She always seem to
have everything under control.
1378
01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:30,160
Not even a strand
of hair was out of place.
1379
01:26:30,480 --> 01:26:34,360
And to think that she
was going through all that,
1380
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:36,480
for this long.
1381
01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:39,600
Excuse me,
1382
01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:43,480
does anyone
want anything to drink?
1383
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:46,080
Well i'd like
a glass of red wine.
1384
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:49,120
A glass of water for me please.
1385
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:52,120
For me, vodka and
cola, Stella thank you.
1386
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:54,400
Stella.
1387
01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:55,400
Yes ma'am.
1388
01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:58,720
Do you mind sitting
with us for a bit?
1389
01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:05,640
But ma'am I need to get to
the kitchen to get your drinks.
1390
01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:10,160
The drinks can wait for a while this
is about most utmost importance.
1391
01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:21,800
Please sit.
1392
01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:33,640
You've been working
here for a while now.
1393
01:27:34,600 --> 01:27:38,080
I want to believe you
knew your madam very well.
1394
01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:44,240
Is there anything different
about her before her passing?
1395
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:46,800
A lot of things different for her.
1396
01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:52,400
Life to my madam was,
1397
01:27:53,560 --> 01:27:55,440
very hard emotionally.
1398
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:00,960
It seemed like every
day was forced upon her.
1399
01:28:02,480 --> 01:28:03,480
Somedays,
1400
01:28:05,600 --> 01:28:07,880
She wouldn't leave
her room or eat a thing.
1401
01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:10,880
Other days she would
drink herself to stupor.
1402
01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:16,080
I always prayed for a change.
1403
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:21,360
The way Chief treated
her was not humane at all.
1404
01:28:23,760 --> 01:28:28,400
If you ask me all that talk about not
believing in divorcing is all nonsense.
1405
01:28:30,440 --> 01:28:32,080
She was just a mere possession.
1406
01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:38,760
A property he didn't want to give or throwaway,
so he put her in a box and forgot about her.
1407
01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:44,200
I never anticipated
that it would end like this.
1408
01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:47,160
Did she ever say anything to you?
1409
01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:52,600
Madam Uche was
like a daughter to me.
1410
01:28:53,160 --> 01:28:55,240
And she confided a lot in me.
1411
01:29:06,400 --> 01:29:07,400
You know,
1412
01:29:08,440 --> 01:29:10,920
she wanted to
reach out to all of you.
1413
01:29:11,920 --> 01:29:14,760
But you were all so
concerned about yourselves,
1414
01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:17,600
you've never bothered
to find out how she was.
1415
01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:19,240
Stella don't say that.
1416
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:22,120
We would never abandon Uche.
1417
01:29:22,440 --> 01:29:23,440
But you did.
1418
01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:26,200
You all did.
1419
01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:31,640
You were the only
family she had,
1420
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:36,160
and none of you were here
when she needed you most.
1421
01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:44,920
Did you know that she was
being treated for depression?
1422
01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:50,920
The night before she,
1423
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:53,720
before she died.
1424
01:29:57,960 --> 01:29:59,680
We had a long chat.
1425
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:02,680
She seemed positive.
1426
01:30:05,800 --> 01:30:09,560
She talked about how
cruel life had been and,
1427
01:30:11,200 --> 01:30:13,640
how she had come
to accept it as her faith.
1428
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:16,840
I encouraged her to be strong,
1429
01:30:20,480 --> 01:30:22,400
and to pray for an intervention.
1430
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:28,200
She had a smile on her face and,
1431
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:31,760
you would never had guessed.
1432
01:30:39,480 --> 01:30:41,920
Before I went to bed that night she,
1433
01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:45,880
she handed me some letters.
1434
01:30:49,280 --> 01:30:53,360
I asked if she wanted me to post
them but she said to hold on to them.
1435
01:30:57,360 --> 01:30:59,200
I didn't dwell on it.
1436
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:02,720
It wouldn't be the first
time she'd give me,
1437
01:31:03,320 --> 01:31:07,120
something to hold on to
and to keep for safe reasons.
1438
01:31:12,320 --> 01:31:14,160
As I made to leave the room,
1439
01:31:15,200 --> 01:31:16,560
she called out.
1440
01:31:22,560 --> 01:31:24,200
When I turned around she,
1441
01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:27,680
she walked up to me and
1442
01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:30,600
she gave me a big hug.
1443
01:31:32,480 --> 01:31:35,960
And said thank you with a big smile.
1444
01:31:49,400 --> 01:31:53,240
By noon the next day when
she didn't come downstairs,
1445
01:31:58,600 --> 01:32:00,520
I went to check on her.
1446
01:32:46,600 --> 01:32:49,920
Uche didn't commit suicide.
that's not what you told us.
1447
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:54,360
That's not what you told us, Uche
didn't commit suicide it’s not true.
1448
01:32:56,760 --> 01:32:58,760
And you waited till now to tell us.
1449
01:32:59,960 --> 01:33:01,920
I had specific instruction.
1450
01:33:01,920 --> 01:33:03,200
Not to tell us?
1451
01:33:03,560 --> 01:33:07,920
We've been here all day and you
just sat there and waited to be asked.
1452
01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:11,720
For crying out loud this is
about Uche not a total stranger.
1453
01:33:11,720 --> 01:33:13,400
Is that how they do things.
1454
01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:16,320
If you let me, I will explain.
1455
01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:19,920
I don't care to listen to
anything else you have to say.
1456
01:33:20,240 --> 01:33:21,240
Rume.
1457
01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:25,240
This is a huge shock
to you as much as to us.
1458
01:33:26,320 --> 01:33:27,760
Please let Stella talk.
1459
01:33:28,080 --> 01:33:31,280
Rubbish what
more has she got to say.
1460
01:33:40,600 --> 01:33:41,600
Alex.
1461
01:33:41,600 --> 01:33:42,600
Alex.
1462
01:33:43,600 --> 01:33:44,360
Alex.
1463
01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:45,800
-My God.
-Help me get some water.
1464
01:33:46,520 --> 01:33:48,840
Breath, breath come
on, take a deep breath.
1465
01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:49,840
Come on.
1466
01:33:49,840 --> 01:33:50,600
In...
1467
01:33:51,520 --> 01:33:52,520
and out.
1468
01:33:53,120 --> 01:33:54,520
Relax try one more time.
1469
01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:56,920
Just do as she says
do as Regina says.
1470
01:33:57,640 --> 01:33:58,640
Out.
1471
01:33:59,720 --> 01:34:02,120
Here dear have
some water it wiill help.
1472
01:34:04,120 --> 01:34:05,120
Drink some more.
1473
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:08,120
Just do as she says.
1474
01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:10,720
Now just relax.
1475
01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:15,320
That's fine.
1476
01:34:16,240 --> 01:34:17,920
I'll go check on Rume.
1477
01:35:02,080 --> 01:35:04,200
What the hell are you
trying to do, drown me?
1478
01:35:04,440 --> 01:35:06,040
Drown you? I was
trying to save your life.
1479
01:35:06,040 --> 01:35:07,040
Really?
1480
01:35:08,120 --> 01:35:10,120
Well, you were under the water.
1481
01:35:11,200 --> 01:35:12,960
What do you mean by that Nse?
1482
01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:14,400
What do you...
1483
01:35:15,320 --> 01:35:16,520
Ohh no.
1484
01:35:16,880 --> 01:35:20,000
You thought I was going to kill
myself why would I want to do that.
1485
01:35:21,040 --> 01:35:22,040
Rume.
1486
01:35:22,560 --> 01:35:25,720
I came out looking for you and
then you are the bottom of the pool,
1487
01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:30,480
and with all the things happening, Uche's
death people deal with grief differently.
1488
01:35:32,520 --> 01:35:37,320
Nse I may do a lot of
crazy stuffs a lot of times.
1489
01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:40,000
kKilling myself trust
me it's not one of those.
1490
01:35:40,120 --> 01:35:41,640
I have a little girl to look after.
1491
01:35:49,480 --> 01:35:50,560
I'm sorry okay.
1492
01:35:52,920 --> 01:35:53,920
It's okay.
1493
01:36:12,360 --> 01:36:13,800
While you were in there,
1494
01:36:14,400 --> 01:36:15,760
Alex had an episode.
1495
01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:18,600
What do you mean about episode?
1496
01:36:20,360 --> 01:36:24,920
She washyperventilating, breating funny
and you know I can't deal with those things.
1497
01:36:25,680 --> 01:36:27,480
You know how Alex can be.
1498
01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:32,400
Are you sure that was not one
of her attention seeking ploy.
1499
01:36:32,400 --> 01:36:35,400
Of course not it was serious
this one was really serious,
1500
01:36:35,400 --> 01:36:39,120
she was breathing funny and
all that but I guess she's fine now.
1501
01:36:42,440 --> 01:36:45,400
You know I still can't believe
Uche took her own life.
1502
01:36:47,800 --> 01:36:48,800
Me neither.
1503
01:36:49,760 --> 01:36:51,680
How does a person
get to that level.
1504
01:36:53,240 --> 01:36:56,320
I've got no idea Rume
I wish I understood.
1505
01:36:56,840 --> 01:36:57,840
You know,
1506
01:36:58,480 --> 01:36:59,480
I'm angry.
1507
01:37:00,920 --> 01:37:01,920
You're angry.
1508
01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:04,880
They both hurt,
1509
01:37:05,320 --> 01:37:07,960
angry you know about
everything that's happening.
1510
01:37:08,720 --> 01:37:10,520
And Uche's death,
1511
01:37:11,920 --> 01:37:13,120
really tough for us.
1512
01:37:15,440 --> 01:37:16,440
I guess we should just...
1513
01:37:17,080 --> 01:37:18,080
go back,
1514
01:37:18,840 --> 01:37:21,280
and listen to what
Stella has got to say.
1515
01:37:21,520 --> 01:37:24,840
Because she's just the only
person who really knew her.
1516
01:37:25,040 --> 01:37:26,520
She was closest to her.
1517
01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:28,600
So...
1518
01:37:30,080 --> 01:37:32,720
I just say let's go back inside.
1519
01:37:32,720 --> 01:37:35,120
Change our clothes, dry our hair.
1520
01:37:36,960 --> 01:37:39,080
It's the only, way I don't know.
1521
01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:41,960
Cause I can't.
1522
01:37:42,440 --> 01:37:43,440
Is it not me.
1523
01:37:44,520 --> 01:37:45,520
Please.
1524
01:37:47,920 --> 01:37:49,600
-Okay.
-Alright that's it.
1525
01:37:52,040 --> 01:37:52,920
Come on.
1526
01:37:52,920 --> 01:37:53,920
Go on...
1527
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:40,520
And that's why I didn't tell
Nse exactly how she died.
1528
01:38:41,400 --> 01:38:43,000
It's still was not right though.
1529
01:38:45,880 --> 01:38:47,760
It was a dead woman's wish.
1530
01:38:48,880 --> 01:38:50,520
I don't know about you my dear,
1531
01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:52,680
but I believe in respect for the dead.
1532
01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:55,400
What if one of us had
gone into shock I mean,
1533
01:38:55,800 --> 01:39:00,320
if something terrible had happen to one of us
you know the story would be different by now.
1534
01:39:01,160 --> 01:39:02,600
Look at what happened to Alex.
1535
01:39:03,480 --> 01:39:04,960
Rume am okay now.
1536
01:39:07,360 --> 01:39:08,360
Stella,
1537
01:39:08,560 --> 01:39:12,680
the fact that we've all been putting up a brave
face here does not mean we are not hurting.
1538
01:39:14,120 --> 01:39:16,600
Uche's death has
been very difficult on us.
1539
01:39:17,880 --> 01:39:18,880
And now this,
1540
01:39:19,760 --> 01:39:21,320
it's a whole new ball game.
1541
01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:23,720
Does her husband know?
1542
01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:26,920
Chief.
1543
01:39:32,280 --> 01:39:33,560
I informed him,
1544
01:39:34,520 --> 01:39:36,400
immediately I discovered Uche.
1545
01:39:38,080 --> 01:39:41,440
All I got back was money
for the funeral arrangements,
1546
01:39:42,760 --> 01:39:43,760
nothing more.
1547
01:39:46,960 --> 01:39:48,520
Not even a visit,
1548
01:39:49,400 --> 01:39:50,400
or a call.
1549
01:39:57,600 --> 01:39:58,880
It goes to show that,
1550
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:03,200
Uche meant absolutely
nothing to him...
1551
01:40:04,840 --> 01:40:06,320
Just a mere possession.
1552
01:40:06,680 --> 01:40:08,800
When it's broken,
he throws it away.
1553
01:40:11,440 --> 01:40:13,040
Even if death,
1554
01:40:14,040 --> 01:40:16,040
he still treats her the same.
1555
01:40:17,680 --> 01:40:19,000
Please excuse me.
1556
01:40:20,280 --> 01:40:21,280
Oh I almost forgot,
1557
01:40:22,800 --> 01:40:24,200
Here's another letter for you.
1558
01:40:24,440 --> 01:40:26,400
If you need me i'll
be in the kitchen.
1559
01:40:46,440 --> 01:40:50,560
I'm sure by now you're all
probably asking a lot of question.
1560
01:40:51,080 --> 01:40:55,800
Thinking about possible options I could've
chosen and wondering why I chose this road.
1561
01:40:58,440 --> 01:41:00,040
I didn't have what you all have.
1562
01:41:00,560 --> 01:41:02,760
And I was in the wrong
place at the wrong time.
1563
01:41:04,760 --> 01:41:09,520
I did what I had to do because it was the
only way out of the misery I call my life.
1564
01:41:11,720 --> 01:41:14,760
So don't cry for me
because I chose to leave.
1565
01:41:17,760 --> 01:41:18,680
Maybe,
1566
01:41:19,800 --> 01:41:20,800
Maybe now,
1567
01:41:21,320 --> 01:41:23,720
I can’t get the love
that I truly deserve.
1568
01:41:26,480 --> 01:41:29,280
I'm sorry for the pain
you are feeling right now.
1569
01:41:30,480 --> 01:41:32,320

Uche.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.
1574

How else.
1575
01:42:06,440 --> 01:42:07,280
Always hard.
1576
01:42:09,320 --> 01:42:10,320
1577
01:42:11,840 --> 01:42:13,040
Okay...
1578
01:42:15,080 --> 01:42:17,120
Regina are you okay?
1579
01:42:20,120 --> 01:42:21,120
How are your kids?
1580
01:42:22,200 --> 01:42:23,200
They're fine.
1581
01:42:25,440 --> 01:42:28,240
I think my mom knows about
what's happening in my house.
1582
01:42:28,760 --> 01:42:29,760
How did that happen?
1583
01:42:30,840 --> 01:42:34,160
Zack and Lily are over
at my mum's till I get back.
1584
01:42:37,440 --> 01:42:41,400
She said they've been glued to each other
since I dropped them off this morning.
1585
01:42:43,120 --> 01:42:46,120
Her suspicions grow when
she wanted to braid Lily's hair,
1586
01:42:46,120 --> 01:42:48,600
and Zack stood
guard beside her.
1587
01:42:50,920 --> 01:42:53,280
She asked him to
sit down, he refused.
1588
01:42:53,600 --> 01:42:56,600
And said he had to protect his sister.
1589
01:42:57,880 --> 01:43:00,240
Didn't she see you
when you dropped them off?
1590
01:43:01,200 --> 01:43:02,200
No she didn't.
1591
01:43:02,720 --> 01:43:04,120
I remained in the car.
1592
01:43:04,160 --> 01:43:07,320
I really think you should've told
your mom about this from the start.
1593
01:43:08,560 --> 01:43:11,800
Violence in the home
affects kids as much.
1594
01:43:12,360 --> 01:43:14,200
Sometimes even
more than the adults.
1595
01:43:16,400 --> 01:43:17,400
I read somewhere.
1596
01:43:18,440 --> 01:43:22,000
That many of this children
who grow up in such environment,
1597
01:43:22,640 --> 01:43:25,400
Grew up to see violence
as a means to an end.
1598
01:43:25,960 --> 01:43:29,160
And they grow up to
become psycho killers.
1599
01:43:29,640 --> 01:43:32,120
You know what, I actually
saw this on the crime channel.
1600
01:43:32,120 --> 01:43:36,520
A mom who was in an abusive marriage,
she took out her frustration on her son.
1601
01:43:36,920 --> 01:43:41,440
And then the son started venting
and then he killed all their farm animals.
1602
01:43:41,600 --> 01:43:43,720
I mean, even the family
cat wasn't spared.
1603
01:43:43,720 --> 01:43:44,280
What!
1604
01:43:44,280 --> 01:43:49,360
Yeah, an he went on to become a serial killer,
he murdered 12 women in the state of Texas.
1605
01:43:50,800 --> 01:43:52,440
What is wrong with both of you.
1606
01:43:52,440 --> 01:43:54,040
Are you trying to get her scared?
1607
01:43:54,520 --> 01:43:55,240
Then it's working.

-Oh no...
-Oh sorry Regina please.

the process of adopting a baby,
1743
01:57:38,120 --> 01:57:40,720
and are looking forward
to becoming parents.
1744
01:57:41,520 --> 01:57:44,760
Happy birthday....
1745
01:57:44,760 --> 01:57:47,960
Rume threw a lovely third
birthday party for Sophie.
1746
01:57:48,200 --> 01:57:51,880
The girls were all present and so
was one of Rume's male admirers.
1747
01:57:52,280 --> 01:57:54,600
He was one of those
richilliterate men.
1748
01:57:54,680 --> 01:57:57,760
He couldn't keep his hand
off her even in front of guests.
1749
01:57:59,760 --> 01:58:04,360
To everyone's surprise though, David
turned up contrary to what he had said.
1750
01:58:04,880 --> 01:58:07,040
Sophie was excited to see him.
1751
01:58:08,120 --> 01:58:12,360
Julian stayed glued to David the whole
time and intermittently they whispered
1752
01:58:12,360 --> 01:58:18,440
into each other's ears, laughed and giggled
a bit like young girls enjoying some hot gossip.
1753
01:58:19,120 --> 01:58:21,960
The chemistry between
them was so apparent.
1754
01:58:22,600 --> 01:58:25,160
It turns out Rume's
joke was the truth.
1755
01:58:27,200 --> 01:58:30,520
It was a good thing the girls were there
or Rume would have caused a scene.
1756
01:58:31,240 --> 01:58:35,000
It was Sophie's day after all and
she was happy to have daddy there.
1757
01:58:35,080 --> 01:59:08,840
