All language subtitles for My Village People [eng]

Hello Uncle Jakpa. Are you there?

I'm close. Just keep them
on the dance floor. Thank you.

I want to make sure I spray my sister.

I am never going to have the chance again.

Except she has a divorce
and then remarries.

Hurry up, the show is almost over.

You know, they almost didn’t want
the ceremony to hold.

Why?

You’re asking me why.

Since your parents died,
you people don't attend meetings

you don't pay dues and you’re asking
me why.

I don’t understand.

You mean after our parents were killed,

they’re still expecting us to attend
the meeting that caused their deaths?

No, that’s not it.

You don't have to attend.

But you have to pay the dues. Hmmn.

Why should we pay dues
for meetings we do not attend?

Exactly.

Whether you like it or not,
this is your home.

You cannot be from where you are not.

Yes. So I’m begging you.

Please just do that part for me.
So they don't focus their eyes on you.

Uncle Jakpa. See…

We’re grateful. Thank you for all the ones
you have paid for us. Well…

but please don’t pay again

because we’re not
coming back here for anything.

We don’t have plans to build
a house here or anything.

I will pay.
In fact, I will continue to pay.

Do you know how embarrassing it will be

that my own family is the one defaulting?

No, think of that.

I will continue to pay.

If you people say you don't want to pay
me back, I don’t mind. I will be paying.

Okay, no problem. No problem, uncle.

We will pay. How much is the dues?

It’s one hundred Naira a month.

No oh! Each! Each oh!

-You know you’re owing plenty months.

No problem, we’ll pay
the backlog and then, uhm, let's see

I’ll pay for the next ten years
for two of us. How’s that?

It’s okay.

-Case closed.
-It's allowed.

-Done.
-Thank you.

-Okay.
-The other matter…

Uncle Jakpa, there is no other matter.

I’ve told you, I will get married
and I’ll have children when I am ready.

When the time is right.

Time is never our friend.

Are you aware that it’s just me and you
that are left in this family as men?

All the other men are dead.

This is your ancestral home.

If it's your sister that you're thinking
of… she is married.

There is no way that her children will
come back here tomorrow to answer Amobu.

Of course, you know women
don’t keep the family name here.

I am not ready to get married.

But have children.

We'll be going now, the sun
is setting and it’s getting dark.

Not so fast.

-We will have to go and see Ndio.
-Ndio!

He specifically requested
to see the both of you.

-Okay, let’s go then.

-Uncle J, I do not want to see him.

Remember…

-I know. No eating, no drinking.

Don’t touch anybody.
No hugs, no handshakes.

Nothing like that. No, seriously.
Don’t ruin my traditional honeymoon.

-I am not going to die.
-Those were daddy’s last words.

I am leaving before daybreak. Okay?

There's night before daybreak.

And darkness functions
more at night!

My sister, the poet. You are too scared.

I am not scared of witches oh.

-Roy, are you scared of witches?

-I mean, my grandmother was a witch.
-Oh?

-Right!

Chop knuckle my in-law.

Listen, set your alarm for 5 a.m

Make sure you leave
before daybreak and call me.

Okay Ma.

-No touching!
-Okay, I get it!

That hotel that I booked for you.

You know, those people
would just be happy.

Why?

Your sister had booked their rooms

the whole rooms for her friends
so they could stay there and prepare.

But as soon as they were done, they
returned to the city.

I'm not even sure
they used those rooms for…

-three hours.

Here we are

Let's go.

Seven thousand is cheap.

Don't tell me it's cheap.

You count seven thousand Naira
and give to one man

for one night, and you say it's cheap.

In fact, tomorrow morning,
once you check out, I will check in.

Let's utilize
the seven thousand Naira.

I will stay there till twelve

He asked me to bring you and
your sister but…

-She refused to come.
-Princess is too superstitious.

Well, she may be superstitious
but her fears are not unfounded.

You cannot live your live with open arms.

But I can. Why not?

Uncle Jakpa, I'm not a christian,
not a muslim, not an idol worshipper.

I'm like the audience,
nobody even knows I'm there.

As long as I don't look for
anybody's trouble,

nobody will look for my trouble

Do you understand?
And I don't believe all these things.

This young man, you play too much.

Not really.

Come on.

-Ndio!
-Ndio!

-Ndio!
-Ndio!

You are a true son of the soil.

He says you are a true son of the soil.

And you must never allow
anyone to take you away from us.

He says… you are the chosen one

But you must not be deceived
by that foreign name

Prince, that they gave to you.

That's my name.

Don't argue. Just listen.

Go on.

He is the chosen one.
His time will come soon.

He said you will do great.

You are the chosen one and in a few years,

you will successfully defend
this community.

Yes! And that time is near.

I have no idea what he's talking about
but tell him I said, "Thank you"

and let's get the hell out of here.

-He asked me to appreciate you.

We appreciate you.

You appreciate.

Haggai!

This is the second time
I'm seeing this girl today.

It’s okay, I’ll take it from here.

Come

Ndio!

What Ndio is trying to say is that…

these items here, the palm-wine
and bush meat to go with it,

are specially for you.

And he also said that his granddaughter

will take these items to your hotel room.

For dessert or what?

Thank you.

Sit down.

Are you okay?

Let me give you palm wine and bushmeat.

You want palm wine and bushmeat, right?

Why?

Oh, your grandfather said
for me specially, right?

Right?

I'll give it to you in the morning.
Get some sleep oh.

Yeah! Okay!

So you…

spend the night with me.

Night, me and you, right?

Wow! Love without language.

Okay.

See.

Me and you?

There.

In the morning, daybreak

I give you hundred.

You like money?

You want money?

You don't want money.

Okay. Wow…

So, what do you want?

What do you like?

-Love.
-Ah!

Finally, some English.

So, you like love, you love love?

Wow! Good.

-Say it.
-Did you just speak English?

Wait, you understand English?

What kind of joke is that?
You mean you speak English?

-So what do you want me to say?
-Say you love me.

Is that the password?

-Maybe.
-Then that’s your password. Wow.

-I love you!
-Again.

-I love you.
-Again.

-I love you.
-Again.

-I love you.
-Again.

-How many times?
-Ssh!

-Again!

I love you.

What?

How are you?

Hi, how can I help you?

We've been trying
to get your attention.

See this black soap.

This black soap is very
good for the skin.

We need someone who
will help us market it in Lagos.

That's why we've come to you.

I'm sorry, I'm not a marketer.

Anyway… the thing is.

Even if you aren't a marketer

We'd like that, as our child

You should try use it on your skin

as a sample for others

so when you use the black soap

when you use it

your skin will begin to glow.

and shine.

Nice. Okay. Errr…

Tomorrow morning,

Say 8 a.m, I will take
the soap from my uncle's house.

-Just drop it there.
-That's good.

Ndio's family is trash.

They have no class…

But us? Tell him.

Look, let me tell you.

Don't tell anyone. We are
only doing this because we like you.

We see you as our child.

That's why we are being honest with you.

Look at us,

we are international.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Why are you pretending?

You think we don't know you have company.

The girl with you

Do it well.

It's not that you are
anything special, but…

you know, just manageable for tonight.

We also have daughters

We have daughters we can give to you.

They are in the city.

When you see them

When you see what they are made of

Their bottom alone…

You go in there and
give it to her.

Give her well.

Ensure you do it well.

Are you still there?

Don’t worry. They didn’t know.

They did.

-What’s your name?
-Haggai.

-Haggai.
-Will you tell me you love me again?

Is that what turns you on?

So if I don’t tell you I love you,
there's nothing for me.

-Say it.
-I love you.

Again.

-I love you.
-Again.

-I already said it.
-Don't say anything else.

Just say you love me.

-Baby, I love you.
-Again.

What the hell?

Please.
it's enough, don’t worry. Sleep.

I’m sorry. I… It’s just for this night, I…

No don’t worry, it's nothing.
I’m not angry, it’s just that…

What turns you on, right?
Is what turns me off.

Deuce. So sleep. Okay? It's fine.

Can I at least get your number?

Just sleep, don’t worry
I’ll give it you in the morning.

Okay? Sleep, it's fine.

Say, "I love you, I love you"

-Man, I hope you slept well?
-Yes, I did.

I’m sorry for waking you up very early.

Don’t worry, once we get
to the airport, drop me off

you can rest properly. Okay?

You don’t need to wait for me.

Sir, as far as you enjoyed yourself
yesterday night, I’m good.

I didn’t enjoy myself, I just slept.

-The girl wasn't good to you?
-Crazy.

The girl was talking weirdly. Very spooky.

The palm wine and bushmeat I
promised you, she threw it on the floor

I just woke up
and saw it spilled on the floor.

For no reason,
she didn’t eat it or drink it.

She just threw it away

Did you notice any signs?

What signs?

Spiritual things, witchcraft.

That? I know.
Don’t you know I’m from this place?

It's my people.

But I’m not scared of anything.
Witches don’t scare me.

I have no business with them.

Hello Princess, you asked me to call you.

See, I told you I would leave by five.
That’s what you said.

Guess what? I left by four o’clock.
I’m already on my way out.

Don't worry. It's gonna be fine.
I didn’t touch nobody, don’t worry.

-Listen.

Once they get to my window, speed off.

Hello!

You were just going to leave.

No, I had an emergency to attend to.

That’s why I had to leave this early.
But, I planned to come back.

Yes ma.

It's a good thing we saw
you then. Right?

Hold on.

The soap, that’s it there.

One last thing, make sure you use it.

It's very important. Give us feedback

because you’re now our brand ambassador.

You'll give me your phone number.

You know what…
Why don’t you give me your number, I’ll…

Do you know what I'm doing?

I want to use your phone
to call my number.

-So you'll have my number.
-Okay.

-Don't delete it
-No.

But, there is no network unfortunately.

This child is so clueless.

He's talking about network.

-We are the network.
-We...

Do you understand me?

This presentation
needs to be ready like yesterday.

-It’s ready.
-It should be over ready.

Look. I’m not taking any chances here.
Do you both understand me?

Now, the client has said we shouldn’t come
to their office tomorrow.

Do you realise how bad
it would look for them to come here

and something was to go wrong?

Ms. Okafor, nothing would go wrong,

I can do the presentation for you now.
If you want, like now.

You and Ameh must stay up all night long

to make sure nothing goes wrong.

And tomorrow, you better wear your best
Christmas clothes and show up.

We’re about to make it big guys!

Don’t let the devil use you. You!

We will go over everything again
for your sake and ours.

Good. I like that.

All night long, please.

You both must be the very last people
to leave this building tonight.

I don’t drive at night.

Well, I drive.

I can drop you off at home
and bring you to work in the morning.

Good. I like that.

We can actually finish
before the close of work.

We don’t have to work till late.

Unfortunately,
my desk is full. I traveled.

I want to tidy up.

I don’t want anything to distract my
attention and like

madam said, you know,
this needs our full attention,

so let’s work after work.

Ameh, you’re working late.
Do you understand me?

Understood.

Now both of you can make your way

to the other side
of my glass walls, please.

And you better be ready
to show me that presentation now.

-And again, later.
-Sure.

-Ameh.
-Yes boss.

Let's get it done.

See, I told you.

Why are you staring at me Prince?

Because I hate salt.

What do you mean you hate salt?

I just feel if I ever take my eyes
off of you

like Lot’s wife,
I’ll turn into a pillar of salt.

I don’t want to lose you.

Okay, that’s a first.

But,
what you don’t know is,

everything about me is salty.

Where I am from is salty.

How will I know when I’ve not tasted you?

That's why I want to spend
the rest of my life with you.

Here we go again.

No, I’m serious.

If you say yes to me
the old fashioned way,

with your mouth, your body language.

The moment I realise
we’re on the same page,

I’m taking us to the hospital
to run a genotype test.

And I’m sure we’ll be a good match.

From there, I’ll go to Okafor’s office,
put in my resignation

and tell her I got a better job,
the job of love.

And of course, you’ll take me
to your people. Where are you from?

Why?

So you can google it to find out
how long it’ll take you to get there?

Yes. And no matter how far it is,

trust me, I’ll be there
with the speed of light.

Show up in the village square,
do you understand?

Raise my voice. Hey!
Is there anyone here?

People of Ameh's kingdom.

The Prince is here!
Ready to make your princess a queen.

Is there anybody here

who wants to challenge
for her hand in marriage with me?

Speak now or forever be silenced!

Anybody at all, fall out!

I am ready for trial by combat!

-Let us battle.
-Can you please stop that?

And guess what?

If your village brings
the fiercest warrior to fight me,

You know I will lose
because I’m a lover not a fighter.

I will die for you

as long as you kiss me goodbye
on my death bed.

I'm serious.

I have never met your type.
Where are you from?

Ever heard of a village called Obovi?

-Tell me you’re joking.
-I’m not joking, why?

No, don’t tell me you’re from there.

Please don’t say that, no way!

Because if we’re related
one way or the other

I promise you,
I’ll be committing the biggest sin

because I will marry my sister.

I am not from there

but I am from a neighbouring village
right across the river.

You’re from Esa?

-Yes, I am from Esa.
-Seriously?

Wow! That's nice.

I’ll tell you what,
let’s travel this weekend.

I want to sail across the river in a canoe
straight into your father’s compound.

Okay, first of all,
my father doesn’t have a compound.

We’re outcasts.

Secondly, people from my village
don’t marry people from your village.

It’s forbidden.

Who cares about tradition? I don’t.

I am serious. It is a taboo, ask around.

Listen, Ameh, listen.

I like you.

You’re my sweetest taboo.

What can I do to get you
off my back for a while?

Let's see.

How about you give me a promissory kiss?

And I’ll get off your back for a while.

A while? Like two years?

You can make it three years, I’ll wait.

Listen. You can go ahead and date
an entire football team.

I know the end from the beginning.
And in the end, we end up together.

You'll see, I'll wait for you.

I will kiss you but I do not
want to hear about it in the office.

Come here.

-Don’t worry, go ahead.
-No, take that.

-No, forget it.
-It might be Okafor, you should take it.

-Hello?
-Hi. Good evening.

-Good evening. Sorry, who’s this?
-It’s me… Haggai.

See, I told you. Nothing serious.
Let’s get back to where we were.

I’m sorry.

That moment is gone.

So, I can continue chasing you? Yeah?

No. I think you should leave,
tomorrow is the big day.

-What?
-No seriously, you should leave.

Be a gentleman and leave.

What are you doing?

This is my world.

I’m turning it off
to have another shot at Mars.

Okay, I will…

I will kiss you for… effort.

Trust me, uhhm

the nerve endings of my lips
will send signals to your heart.

-Come here.

-I saw you turn that off.
-Exactly.

Where did you get that phone?

It’s not fake if that’s what you mean.

Right.

I have been saved by your phone twice.

So read my lips,

go and meet your village girlfriend. Uhm?

-Is she the one? Are you guys a team?
-Is that a problem?

Just asking if I can join in.
There’s love in sharing.

What?!

Excuse me.

-Hello.
-Ah ah.

Why are you screaming at me?

I’m sorry Ms. Okafor,
it’s been a very long day.

-I mistook you for someone else.

-Are you ready for tomorrow?
-One hundred percent.

I’m just leaving Ameh’s house.

I hope it's my work
both of you were doing?

Of course, that’s what we were doing.

Ms. Okafor, please once this deal goes
through, don’t forget, I need my raise.

-Please
-Mm hm.

Deliver, and consider it done.

-Yes ma. One more thing, I--
-See you tomorrow.

-Hello ma.
-It’s Haggai.

How did you get my number?

You left without even saying goodbye.

You only say goodbye to people
you met in the first place.

Prince.

That’s no way to treat a lady,
especially one you had something with.

See. Haggai. That's your name, right?

Please, remember one thing. I don't
come to the village often.

The last time I was there
was probably twenty years ago.

And I’m never coming back
after this last visit. Okay?

But, I can come see you in Lagos.

Look at you.
Do you know where Lagos is?

My dear, just move on
with your life and be happy. Please.

But you said you loved me, were you lying?

Of course, I was…

Listen! You have a fetish
and that fetish doesn't work for me.

So find somebody in the village
who can do it for you. Alright?

I'll be very happy if you say
you love me plenty times.

That's where me and you have a problem.

You like people to tell you they love you.

I don’t like to say that.

So, like I said, find someone
in the village, they’ll tell you.

Live your life happily ever after.

But please, don’t call
this number again. Ever.

What I’m asking you for is a favour.

Just for a few minutes.

I don’t mind if you have a girlfriend, I…

Exactly! I have a girlfriend.

And guess what, she’s from Esa.

-What?
-And we are getting married.

Did you just say she’s from Esa?

-You know we cannot--
-Yeah, we don't mix.

But she’s an outcast.

I’m an outcast
because I don’t come to the village.

So we’re getting married and we’ll live
our lives happily ever after.

So, move on okay?

-No. I will not lose you to an Esa woman.

Listen. Prince, we need to talk.

Face to face,
I’m coming to Lagos this night.

I don’t want to have
this conversation with you in your office.

So, give me an address to meet you up.

If you don’t give me an address,
I will show up at your house.

I cannot lose you to an Esa woman.

So, give me an address or I’ll be
at your house. You choose.

You’re mad.

Twice, bro. I was this close.

See her lips, see my lips like this
and then my phone rings.

That's how I lost a chance.

You should’ve kissed
her regardless.

Bro, when it comes to a woman's body,

the door must be ajar, the floor wet

and inviting before you make
a move, unless you'll end up in jail.

Prince, I'm tired of you.

You seem so impatient
and patient at the same time.

Pick a struggle man.

This is why we call you Young Joe.

You’re not experienced in these things.

I swear, that’s the truth.
Let me tell you.

Sometimes, the longer the chase,
the sweeter the mace.

What the hell is mace?

Nothing. I just had to make up
a word so I can rhyme.

You're not serious.

-Ah-ah

The clients, I thought
they said eleven o’clock.

They are two hours early.

I’m two hours ready.

Valerie, please give me my laptop--

Prince?

We would like to thank you

for the opportunity
to work with you on this.

Now, we truly believe that your product
is quite revolutionary in the tech space.

So, all hands have been on deck
to ensure that we pinpoint

the perfect marketing angle
for your product.

Please let me introduce you
to the marketing gurus

that have headed the team

and will be handling the presentation.

Prince and Ameh.

Thank you very much ladies and…

Ladies and gentleman,
thank you for this opportunity.

-We're going to show you…

that we intend to use
for the demonstration of your product.

Now my colleague here
will show us a video demonstration.

-Prince.

Prince! Ameh!

I am truly sorry for this.
We will sort this out immediately.

Just get out.

Hello!

Dear Prince.
I told you I was coming

How was the presentation?

You don't want to answer me?
I’m at your house.

Which house?

The one in Lagos.

Oh, you thought I was joking.

Look through your window, Prince, I'm home

Who could be at the door
at this time?

Who is it?

She came. She came back.

-Who came?
-Ehhhhhh!

The witch. Haggai. She came back.

-Prince.
-Eh God!

This girl changed to a bird
before my very eyes.

I swear, I know what I saw.

-Same girl?
-Same girl.

And the same thing happened
in the office, the one I told you about.

-Guy.
-Bro.

You have to stay with me tonight, please.

I can’t leave my house this night.

No. I’m not saying you must leave.
You know.

I mean, I could sleep on the couch
or the floor of your room.

Please.

See the thing is, my madam is around

and she won’t be happy at all.

Prince, look, I would really
like to help you

but I don’t think
you can stay here this night.

Don’t be angry, I’m sorry.

Just yesterday too in
marriage counselling,

they said we should
spend more time together.

Alone.

So that we would get to understand
each other better.

If not for that assignment,
I would’ve let you stay.

It's not a big deal.

Okay. Let me greet your madam

She’s asleep.
And she sleeps naked

so, you… No.

So, I should go now?

No. You can finish
your coffee, I’ll wait for you.

I don’t have anything to do
in the office in the morning.

Just relax, finish your coffee.

Okay. Okay.

-Hey bro.
-Hello.

-Princess, where are you?
--Where else would I be? I'm in L.A.

Princess, I’m in trouble.

A witch has been chasing me
ever since I left the village.

I’ve not been able to sleep,
she’s appearing everywhere.

-I don’t know what to do--
-Just calm down.

Did you touch or hug anybody?

I won’t lie, I hugged somebody. Yeah.

You need to get rid of those clothes--

The problem is, I can’t go home.
She knows my house.

She knows my house and you know…
She can appear there anytime.

Okay. Check into a hotel.

Oh okay, why didn’t I think of that?

Thank you. Alright.

-Sir, you've blocked the gate
-What?

Reverse and go out.

Please can you get a waiter to escort me?

This is your key and this is your…

Don’t worry, just leave everything.

-Where’s your phone?
-That's the phone sir.

What’s the emergency number,
in case I have to call?

Just dial one sir, and you’ll be answered.

Alright, thank you so much.

Who is there?

Who is there?

Room service.

It's my mind.

So…

You know, I have maximum respect
for people like you.

Because if people like you are not around,
who would be able to sleep in peace?

You people are doing a very good job.

So, here’s the deal.

I will give each of you
twenty thousand Naira each,

for every hour that you stay
with me and I’m awake.

What's the time now?

It’s 01.00 a.m.

Okay. Its 1 a.m.
If you can stay with me till 7 a.m.,

Every hour, I’ll transfer
20k to you and 20k to you.

Every hour.

All you have to do
is just make sure you stay with me.

Don’t take your eyes off me.

And make sure I don’t sleep okay?

If you see me sleeping,

please just wake me up.

20k for each hour.

Oh, it’s the driver that took me
on my last trip to the village.

Hello. Brother, don’t
you sleep?

Boss, I do. I brought someone
to Lagos and just dropped them off

so I decided to call to know if
you're awake.

because I'm going back tonight.

What? This night? No, it’s too late.

That’s too risky.

Boss, don't worry.
I'm familiar with the road.

No, I can’t allow you do that.

-Are you not looking at the time?
-Boss, don't worry.

I have work for you.
I have charter for you

Come around.

I’ll text you the address
of where I am now.

And come and meet me here immediately.

-Okay?
-No problem.

-Alright.
-Sure.

Alright.

Okay. So, yeah.

I will do the first transfer now.

See, she's the one.

Boss, it's me.

I think you were having
a nightmare.

Was I asleep? When did I sleep?

You’ve been asleep
for over two hours.

We’ve been trying to wake you up.

It was when the driver came
that you woke up.

What’s the time?

It’s 5am

Let's go.

Wait.

Don't go!

-Have you received the alert?
-Yes.

Thank you, sir.

Sir, don't you want to sit
at the back?

No. For what? What's in this life?

I’m a simple man.
Is it you I would be posing for?

Okay.

Boss, please use
your seatbelt.

Yes?

I’m coming.

-Who is it?
-Me, Ameh. It’s me, Prince.

Prince.

-Yeah.
-What is it?

Please can you just open the door?
I want to

I want to explain
what happened and apologise.

I want to just, you know…

How did the security
let you in in the first place?

I do not need an explanation
and I do not need an apology.

Ameh please, just give me
five minutes of your time, I beg.

Five minutes and I'll not take anymore.

Please, this is not one
of my colorful persuasions.

You need to trust me on this.
I am begging you.

What is the essence
of the story you’re telling me?

I’m just saying the accident
at the office yesterday,

I had nothing to do with it.

I’m beginning to think
this was some kind of spiritual attack.

At least, now I know I lost my job
because of your spiritual attack.

And I will fix it, one way or the other.

I don’t even know what to do now,
but I know I will fix it.

Nobody in the office
could see her except me.

That was quite spooky.
Trust me I was seeing her.

I’m even scared to sleep now
because early this morning,

she attacked me in my dreams.

And you did not sleep with her?

No! I swear I didn’t touch her, not once!

But when I woke up,
it was like I had a wet dream.

You and your stories.
Look, I cannot help you.

But she said that…

She said you cannot be with me
because I am from Esa.

And what does that have to do with me?

Both of you are from Obovi,
so both of you should figure it out.

Leave me out of this, please.

Look, I think you should go.

It’s way past the five minutes
you asked for anyway.

-Besides, I have to dust my CV.

See… I’m sorry, I’m really sorry Ameh.

I know.

Tell me you love me seven times.

You told me you love me.

What do you want me to tell you?

Love! All I want is love!

Love me and tell me
you love me seven times!

-I love you, I love you, I love you…
-Shut up!

Love and fear are two different emotions.

They cannot co-exist side by side.

You telling me you love me now
is absolute rubbish.

I need you to actually love me.

Let's help her. She's injured.

You said…

You might think I'm unable to advise you

but all you've just told me

I know a man of God that can pray for you
and all these will stop.

My job is dangerous

If this man says you shouldn’t go out
and you do, bad things will happen.

Infact some of my colleagues

die when they do not heed his warnings.

Meanwhile, some of my colleagues
go to him with their problems.

He has also helped me solve some
of my problems.

Some of my colleagues even
bring their bosses.

That man is powerful.

So… because… I don't know…
I like you. You are my boss.

How can I have someone who can help you

and not tell you?

Where is the church?

This is it.
He’s a powerful man of God.

Come with me.
Sir, I’ll tell him everything first.

Do you understand?

Just rest assured
that your solution is here. Come.

I know what you are thinking.

Yes.

Small me, big ministry.

I know you were expecting
to see an old man with pot belly.

But no. A small body
also means business.

Exodus 14:14, the Bible says that

"I will use the unqualified…"

You know the story of Shadrack,
Meshach and Abednego.

They were trapped in fire
but my God made fire to become cold!

What am I trying to say?

Those that trust
in the Lord are like Mount Zion,

they can never be shifted or removed
from their positions.

Oh, yeah!

What is the time?

-Eleven thirty.
-Good.

Before 3 p.m., I repeat, before 3 p.m.

The God I serve, the king of kings,
omnipotent God, omniscient God.

the Lily of the Valley,
the Alpha and Omega,

the same God of yesterday,
today and forever,

The unchangeable changer,
the unquenchable quencher

will prove to you that he is God.

Before 3pm, everything bothering you…

be it from your village people,
be it from your frenemies,

be it from your business place,

all of them will be still and know

that Jesus is Lord,
in the mighty name of Jesus!

Amen!

Obia obia

Come
It seems you’re very proud.

Can’t you say amen?

Oh sorry, sorry. Amen Pastor.

Don't call me pastor. No!
This an insult.

Listen! If you can’t call me
Daddy G.O, forget it.

No. Sorry, Daddy G O Amen, Daddy G O

First and foremost, you have to sow
a seed into God's ministry.

Er… Okay. I really don’t have any
cash on me now.

Transfer!

I’m in the spirit, transfer!

There’s no network here.

Dial *901# you can transfer
with that code, without network.

Okay.

-How much are you transferring?
-Ten thousand.

No! Ten what?
That’s an insult upon the Holy Spirit!

You cannot give God ten thousand Naira!

Is that how much God is worth?
Don’t insult my God!

-I’ll do another one.
-Good!

Give and it shall be given unto you!
Givers never lack!

I've gotten the alert.

Good.

Now you’re talking!
Now watch the Lord prove himself!

-Follow me.
-Okay.

-Yes!
-Wait, Bishop!

-Yes Lord!
-Amen!

Obia

Yes, father.

-Favor will follow you.

-No witch will see you.

-Prosper, prosper.

-Say death!
-Death.

-Death!
-Death.

-Not me!
-Not me.

-Not me!
-Not me.

They want to kill you.

But I will destroy all that here and now.

But before then,
you need to trigger the Lord.

Sow a seed and you will watch
miracles happen here now!

Sow a triggering seed unto the Lord.

Trigger the Lord! Do something tangible.

How much did you transfer?

-Five hundred thousand Naira.
-Hey!

How much did you transfer?

-Five hundred thousand Naira.
-Obia

The hour has come.

Five hundred…

Kneel down.

Malachi chapter four, verse nine.

The Bible says that ten thousand
shall fall by your side

another ten thousand by your right
but none shall come close to you!

Any marine spirit! Any marine demon!

Any witch! Any wizard!

Against your life,
die in the mighty name of Jesus!

-Amen!
-Loose!

-Loose! My God is at work.

-God is at work, it's the wind of glory--
-It's not,

-It's them.

John three, sixteen,
in the mighty name of--

Is that how you go around
looking for people to fleece?

I’m sorry ma.

I… I did not… I don’t go around
looking for people, they…

He came looking for me.

He came looking for me, I’m sorry ma.

But you have church members.
Why are you deceiving them?

I’m not deceiving anybody.

Sorry. I collected money from him
because he’s rich and I'm broke.

I needed the money.

This work. This pastor work.

Why are you doing it?

I’ll be honest,
I’m not happy seeing you this way.

This isn’t the Prince I used to know.

No, I’m good.

Everything is okay. I'm…

I’m even happy that we finally have
a chance to sit and talk.

Well, this isn’t exactly
how I planned things to pan out.

But since you’re here… I love you Prince.

-She's lying.
-I will drive you out of this place.

How? By trying to choke me again?

You knocked me unconscious

and if you try another silly thing
like that next time,

I promise, I will kill you.

Please, just take your loss and bounce.

Prince here, cannot have
anything to do with you.

What makes you think he can
or will have anything to do with you?

Because we’re from
the same place, we’re both--

Really? That’s it?

You’re so ignorant.

Look, the issue on ground
is way above your pay grade.

-Please, I want to…
-Shut up!

Listen, he is not a sex toy,

so you need to look for someone else
to tell you they love you seven times

to get you out of your misery.

You have no idea
what you’re talking about.

Do not disrespect me by talking about it!

I don’t need you.
Prince here is my business.

Oh! But this is exactly my business too.

So Prince, maybe you should speak up.
Tell her.

Tell her all the sweet things you told me.

Tell her how you said
you’d wait for me endlessly!

Tell her it is me!

Better choose wisely,
this girl is not ordinary.

-Ah, you dirty thing!

Hello, sir.

Oh, right away sir. Yes sir.

Bye.

Job interview.

Prince. Be wise,
stop trying to run away from me.

I know just how to find you.

You! Run.

Fast!

Prince, please, I beg you.

This is not what I wanted
or how I wanted it to happen, please.

I’m confused, why are you begging me?

Because I need you to love me
and just tell me that you love me.

Why? What do you want from me?

You are the one for me. If you could do it
one day. Just one day.

I don’t know you, I barely even know you.

And you don't seem ordinary.

Please it’s not what you think
or how you see it.

I’ll explain later.

But for now just love me
and tell me you love me.

-It’s the only way to set me free.
-This is strange, I can’t…

You can!

You will choose me
for your own good.

And you will choose me quick.

and on time.

I will continue to ask you
until you choose me.

For as long as you sleep, I will be here.

I'm so sorry
to have kept you waiting.

I was preparing some charms
for one of my clients.

She wants to tie down
her boyfriend from USA,

so I was preparing something.
Sorry about that.

I need to know, can you
help me out of this mess?

Help you out of this mess? Yes.

But how long will it take? I can’t tell.

Why are you leaving?

Listen, I appreciate your honesty right?

-But I don’t have time to waste.
-Listen.

I may not know the solution now,
but I know the route to the solution.

If you have patience.

I’ve dealt with one fake already today,

thank you for your time.

Listen, come. Let me show you, come.

If you give me the address
of where you live, you will see something.

Give me your address.

Why?

Just give me the address. That's all.

Michael Sawyer street.

Michael Sawyer street.

I believe in the cosmic,
super cosmic forces

-I believe in the ways of cosmic forces

You see?

If you give me the particular number
of the house where you live,

you will see more.

-My house?
-Yes, your house.

-12b.
-12b! I believe in the cosmic forces.

-You see!
-How did you do that?

Well, you see, before the coming
of your so-called white men

and their technology,
there had been technology in existence

and we had been enjoying it.

You know!

Let me give you my sister’s address,
I need to confirm this. Number two…

Because… you found out
that I did this so easily.

To you, it is easy
to invoke these cosmic forces.

Do you know how expensive it is
to invoke one of the cosmic forces?

One pigment of it. Do you know?

And you want me to experiment.

In order to prove myself
to show you that I am who I am.

No! Are you ready for this
or are you not ready for it?

Precautionary measures
that we have to take.

Number one, you have to
avoid water completely.

You don’t have to
take your bath from now on.

Even drinking water, you have to avoid
drinking water.

I don’t understand,
why can’t I drink water?

Look, let me tell you,

You don’t have to take water
because Ameh is a marine spirit

and anything with water
is what attracts them.

-Do you understand?
-Yes.

What of Haggai?

Haggai is a… A witch.

Okay.

And you know…
I think she wants to initiate you.

-Initiate me?
-Yes. But I don’t know why.

And I think… I suspect that it’s something
that belongs to you that she has.

And anything that belongs to you,
if she gets it, she’s gotten you.

Add some more.

Why are you moping at the food? Eat.

What’s this?

Roasted yam and mashed tomatoes.

I don’t eat stuff like this.

You have to manage it,
that’s what you have to eat from now on.

Because I cannot give you
food cooked with water.

I cannot cook with water.

If I cook with water, you’re gone.

-Can I at least wash my hands?
-You can’t wash your hands.

And for your aqua, your water,
this is what you’ll have to take.

Freshly squeezed fruit.

For now.

It’s good.

So, how long is this going…

For a very long time. It’s…

Why do I feel sleepy?

Where is this wind…

-Why?

-What did you eat?
-Roasted yam and tomatoes.

No! What did you eat before this?

-Nothing.
-No, you ate something.

You ate something! What did you eat?

-I didn't eat anything. What’s going on?

Listen, you have to tell me what you ate.

Yes!

You must’ve eaten something before coming,

Did you eat something before coming here?

I just told you what I ate.
This is the only thing I ate!

-They’re calling you to the coven.

You’re being summoned to the coven!

-They want to initiate you.
-Me?

-Yes.
-Why?

Stay awake. Don't sleep.

-Stay with me.

Now you have to tell me
what you ate, if not I cannot help you!

I did not eat anything.
This is the only thing I’ve eaten!

When we went to the market, did you
eat anything or on the way back?

What did you eat?

Oh shit!

-You ate shit?
-No!

The girl, she gave me sweets and I ate it.

What’s going to happen to me?

-Why am I…
-No! Stay awake. Stay with me!

-I’m here.
-Look at me!

I’m going to find an
antidote to this, okay?

-Okay.
-Please, don’t look at this window.

Don’t look at the window!

-Just look at me. Look straight.
-Okay.

Stay awake!

My granddaughter has brought…

-a worthy soul to me tonight.

One that will benefit us greatly!

I am proud of being…

a grand… father!

Haggai!

Come forth!

Why is she not smiling?

She's looking sad
because she tried getting him to love her.

She was trying to break
her covenant with the coven.

It's not funny.

I’ve never wanted this.

This is not who I am. This is not my life.

Shut up! This is who we are.

Now that you've gotten what

we lost. You better go
after the initiation.

And you'll be greatly rewarded.

I don’t want this please, just let him go.

So that he can fall back into the hands
of those tiny little marine spirits?

No! He does not belong there, he is ours!

-Now, bring that potion.

-He is getting help from outside.

Don’t ever come for him again!

-He is ours!
-He is not yours!

This is your last warning.

You are awake.

My mouth is salty.

It should be.

That must be from the salt water,
from the mermaids.

Yeah.

But what does that mean?

It means that Ameh wants you,

the witches can no longer get at you.

But something baffles me,

what is in you that makes
all of them come for you?

What is that special thing

in you that makes them call for you

I'm here to learn and focus on it.

The witches fought, and fought,
and fought… you need to see.

That was why I had to invite
the marine spirits to come and save you.

Haggai.

Haggai… She didn’t want to be there and…

She didn’t even want me there too.

-Haggai?
-Yes.

Didn’t want to be there…

Oh!

That must be the reason
why she wanted you to love her

and to say it seven times,
so she could break the curse.

Aha!

Please show me to your bathroom

I need to take a shower
and brush my teeth.

No. You cannot do
any of those things again.

Why? You said they already have me.

They don’t know where you are now.

They don’t know
where your physical body is.

You’re in my…
We’re just like in a spiritual envelope.

They cannot detect
my house, where you are.

But the moment you put
water into your system,

they’ll get you.

Or, the moment you step out
of this house, three minutes at most.

They will catch you.

Remember, their water is still in you.

I don’t understand at all, are you saying
I’ll stay here for the rest of my life?

No.

Some people believe that…

Places like orphanages,

are a very good cover for those
who are running away from such spirits.

So, you can find yourself an orphanage
and hide there, if you can.

Since my place has suddenly become
too small for you.

That’s not what I meant,

you know that’s not
what I meant so, please.

You need to find a solution, okay?

-I am working on one.
-Then work fast!

Don’t you dare shout at me!
What do you mean by that?

After all, you have not dropped a penny!

And I’ve been doing all this for you!

You want to shout at me? How dare you!

Look, I am sorry. Prof, please.

-You better be.
-I really am sorry.

This whole thing is a nightmare
to me, like…

I can’t believe it’s happening.

Well, it is happening.

You should be happy, you’re lucky,
the witches are off your back.

That should make you happy.

I promise you, I will pay you any amount.

Just get me out of this
and make it go away permanently.

-Please.
-First of all, we have to find out…

why it is happening.

-How?
-Why all of them are so interested in you.

-How?
-I don’t know how.

But all I can say is… my suspicion

is that there must be a family history.

There must be something from your family
that makes them run after you.

But!

I’ll go to the market now.

I want to buy one or two condiments

for my divination

so that we can dig it to find out.

That is the genesis of the whole thing,
we must find that 'why' first.

-So, I'm going to the market.
-What about me?

You’re going to stay here,
you want to go with me?

Nothing is going to happen
to you, be assured.

You are in Professor Pium’s house.

Let me go and get some
of those things for my divination.

So that we can get to the bottom of this.

Don’t be afraid.

-Help me with some change.
-Okay.

Where is your friend?

-My friend?
-Yes.

Oh, my friend travelled.
Is there any problem?

Please give him this sweet,
tell him we need to talk.

Why is Haggai still looking for you?

Why is that?
I’m not saying she’s after you now.

-Why is she still looking for you?
-How will I know? Why?

Why? Why is she looking for me?

I think that girl has something
up her sleeve.

Why is Haggai still looking for you?

In spite of the fact that we
had a pact with the marine spirits.

Why will Haggai still be looking for you?

I think she still has
something up her sleeve.

-Haggai has something up her sleeve.
-Why? What happened?

-Listen.
-What happened?

She gave me this for you.

No!

No, I can’t touch that.

-Haggai sent this to me?
-Yes.

-That why?
-I think so, listen.

Haggai has something…
We have to find out what Haggai is up to.

-You understand?
-Okay.

You have to take a bit of this

and let’s find out what Haggai is up to.

No, you take it.

-It’s your work.
-Listen. Don’t run away from this.

Look, you have to take this
so that we’ll find out

why Haggai is still itching for you. Why?

You’re not going to go away.

Look, you just have to take this and just…

Your spirit will still be there, trust me!

I will keep your spirit.

Do you remember
what happened the last time?

All of them were there, present.

No! I should go back there?

They tied me to a table. I am not going.

It’s not going to be like that again.
I am here.

Your spirit is not going to go away.

Haggai is just going to be…

Let us find out why Haggai
is insisting on seeing you.

That’s all.

-I can’t!
-You can!

You can!

Professor Pium…

Good, yes.

This is good.

Leave me!

You people should leave me.
Leave me alone.

I didn’t come here for this.

I want to know why you’re disturbing me.
I don’t want to have anything.

-Just let me be!
-Prince!

You do not know who you are, do you?

-I’m Prince.
-You’re the chosen one.

I don’t understand, I don’t.

Your mother was the daughter of Obovi.

But she choose to marry
an Esa man over her own kind.

-That’s not true.
-It’s true!

Your father was from Esa.

Their marriage was a taboo.

You and your sister
are fruits of that taboo.

-Ameh is here again. Ameh has come.
-Help me.

I can’t!

-You have to help me!
-I can't!

I’ve locked you up
until you help me, so you have to.

Wow, what an erection!

Made in heaven.

-You were right.
-About what?

All this has something
to do with my family.

I need to speak with my uncle.

Where is your uncle?

In the village.

So, what else did she say to you?

That she has me on lockdown
and she’ll find me… wherever,

something like that, and that
I must help her before she lets me go.

That makes two reasons
why we should go to the village.

I think she has something
that belongs to you that must be found.

Get that thing
and you'll be free from her forever.

Alright. Let me see. I'm coming.

Where are you going?

Now.

Stand up. From now on you will wear this.

-You will put them on.
-What is this?

Protection, that’s what it is.

I don’t understand,
what kind of protection is this?

Protection from…

These evil spirits, you see…

Once you wear this,
they will never ever track you again.

Okay?

In a hood.

From now on,
you will be like this. Always.

If not, they will track you.
This is protection from tracking.

-Do you understand?
-Hm!

Good.

Prince.

These questions you’re asking are
very deep.

It is true that your father is not from
Obovi.

While they were abroad,

your mother telephoned me to say that…

she had met a man she’s in love with.

Someone from Esa.

As soon as I heard, I said no.

This is an abomination
that is about to happen

and I must stop it.

I travelled all the way
to Lagos to go and try to convince

both of them to call off
whatever it is they had.

They didn’t listen to me.

Then, that’s when I decided

I would wait
and attend their court wedding.

So that when they got
to that point where they ask

"Is there someone who doesn't want
this marriage to hold?" I raise my hand

On the day of their court wedding, I went.

As soon as the question
was thrown, I jumped up

with both hands.

Some men caught me,
dragged me down and held me down.

It was even too late.

Because by that time,
your mother was already pregnant with you.

Does Princess know this story?

I don’t know.

You know your sister
doesn’t like to talk too much.

This is very deep.

Very deep.

Why are you suddenly interested
in knowing your parents’ past?

Nothing, you know?
I’m just doing myancestry.com

I want to know more about my roots.

Which is good.

So we decided to come.

Really?

And you decided to come at night?

Yes. Free country.

It’s alright. If you say so.

In any case, I was just preparing

to go for our monthly council gathering.

-Okay.
-Yes.

As a matter of fact,
you can even come with me.

You would really…

learn a lot. A lot more.

Whatever question I cannot answer,
Ndio will answer it for you.

Ndio will be at the meeting?

-Oh, everybody will be there.
-Okay.

I guess…

I’ll meet you at the meeting.

Let’s go and check in, let’s settle down.

-No, it’s on our way!
-No, it’s fine.

We’ll just pass by the hotel
then from there we’ll go.

We don’t want to stress you.
I know my way to the hotel.

We’re in a hurry.

I normally don’t like to stay in the--

I don’t even know why you want to
count another seven thousand naira.

To give to one man,
just to sleep for one night.

I can take this table off, get a mat.
We’ll all manage.

-My friend doesn’t like it.
-No, I don’t like it.

I don’t want to be
an inconvenience to you.

So don’t worry, I’ll meet you there
Uncle Jakpa. Thank you.

-I see someone came in her true colours.
-Wow.

With the way you're dressed
one would think you’re into me.

Don’t flatter yourself.

What is the need to meet and talk?

I need you to leave Prince alone.

-Why?
-Because I really do like him.

I’m serious.

If I didn’t like him,
I would’ve let the initiation continue.

Please, the reason
you did not let it continue

is because you want
out of your witchcraft!

Whatever you think
does not matter right now.

Besides, even if I was out of the picture,

Prince can't be with you. He’s from Esa.

Prince is my betrothed, okay?

Our physical villages mean nothing.

-Alright, does he know that?
-He will.

Let's check here.

Listen…

The only reason I’m still here
is because I’m hoping to convince you

to just leave him alone.

You know, I like your spirit.

If not for this drama going on,
I would’ve asked to be your friend.

Physically I must add, you don't have
what it takes to be one of us.

I never wanted to be one of anything.

I still don’t want to be.

You’re only saying that
because you’re not one of us.

We have everything
you could ever wish for.

Yet, you can't find him.

You think I don’t know that’s why
you agreed to this meeting?

Alright. So, where is he?

It's none of your business.
Leave him alone.

You don’t know either,
otherwise you won’t be here this long.

I can actually find him. Easier than you.

Yeah I know. Cause your ways

-are dirty, fetish and crooked.

And I keep telling you
that you don’t know me.

Can you stop struggling to be human.

You are a witch. Accept it.

What is it?

Look at me!

Look at me.

Do not follow me.

Wow! I see you came prepared.

Witches are dirty, they can’t stand you.

We didn’t bargain for this.

Why are all the witches looking for us?

I don't know

How did…

Suddenly, all the witches
are looking for us.

I don’t know. How did they know?

Haggai. I think Haggai must
have known somehow.

Look, we have to find
a way to get ourselves out of here.

-How?
-Are you asking me how?

-Yes. How?
-This is your dish.

And now.

-Find it now.
-You want me to find it?

-Yes.
-Is this my village?

But you brought me here.
You said the solution is here.

Look, all this wouldn't have befallen you
if your waist had been less busy.

That's what brought us here.

But I didn't sleep with her.

You didn't sleep with her?

Is that what you're saying?

-I know somebody I can call.
-Reach them fast.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-My child, how are you?
-Ma. I’m fine.

How’ve you been?
We’ve been expecting your call.

How’s the soap? Do you like it?

Yes, I like it. I sold it all.
I sold it all and I brought the money.

Are you serious?

He said they like our soap in Lagos.

They like our soap in Lagos.

They like our soap in Lagos.

He's still on the phone.

We can hear you.

Do you want more?

Yes, but first,
I’m in the village but there’s a problem.

I think some people are after us.

I don't know what we
did to them. Can you help us call the

vigilante or police?

I’ve been calling my uncle’s phone
but it’s unreachable.

Is it that serious?

Don’t worry, we’ll help you.

-Are you the only one there?
-Me and my friend.

Okay.

Put your phone in your pocket
and hold your friend’s hand.

Okay ma.

Hold my hand.

-Which hand?
-Give me your hand.

-Your hand is soiled. Mine is clean.
-Give me your hand.

Hold him.

Mama!

Mama. Thank you ma. I mean, good evening.

Mama.

Please ma. Help us. Thank you.

Thank you ma.

Please ma. Thank you so much.

-Thank you ma. We are grateful.
-Thank you.

Yes ma. Thank you.

What were you saying?
Who was after you?

-We don’t know them.
-Who?

-Ndio’s granddaughter?
-Yes.

-That little girl?

Don’t worry, be calm.

We’re here.

Look at us, at our level.

They’re amateurs.
Don’t stress yourselves.

They are amateurs just
learning the trade.

-Do not be worried.
-Thank you.

You see where you are?

Nobody can harm you.

Nobody can see you.

-No one can see you as we speak..
-Thank you ma.

Don’t you know there's
a hierarchy in witchcraft?

-Now we know.
-They are not our mates.

-Thank you ma
-But, wait.

Did you lie about selling
all the soap we gave you?

No! Lie? Why? I sold it all.

I sold it. Remember
the soap I told you about?

-Soap?
-Soap.

-Oh, yes. Soap.
-Yes.

That I said I brought the money.
I sold everything.

-You sold everything?
-Yeah.

Actually… I didn’t so… I didn't sell…
I didn't sell them.

-But I bought all.
-He bought it all.

Yes. And I brought
your money for the soap.

It's a nice soap. I used all.

-Remember that soap I told you about.
-That's right.

That I said my friends… That I have to
bring their money…

Let's find him before she gets here.

Witches aren’t
the only ones looking for you.

Mermaids and marine spirits

-are also looking for you.

No, it's not me.

What do you mean?

Do you have a problem
with them?

Marine? No. Not me.

Who then, if not you?

Do you have a problem
with marine spirits?

-When she tasted the rain,

from her reaction

it seems the water was salty

-You know what?

-Mama, please we can't go.

-I bought your soap.
-Go!

I bought your soap.

This matter
is more than the soap.

Just get up.

We don’t want problems with the mermaids.

-We don’t want their problem.
-Let's discuss.

Hold each other's hands.

-Please please
-Ehhhhh!

You are interrupting us.

Do the right thing.

If not, we’ll send you
to different locations.

Fantastic.

Mama, please I’ll buy the soap,
I love soap!

It's time to go.

Go where?

You were very stupid to think otherwise.

Now you have to pay
the ultimate price for what you did.

Stop trying to wake up,
you’re not dreaming.

Welcome home, my prince.

Let me show you our kingdom.

-Why did you choose me?
-I didn't choose you?

You choose me.

You proposed to me.
You saw heaven and earth.

Was I not supposed to believe you?

Was I not supposed to believe
the prince, my prince?

No one says no to the chosen one.

But you never agreed.

Because it wasn't sealed in
the spirit realm.

Anything that happens in the physical
has to happen in the spirit first.

Which is why you’re going to marry me.

Now.

But our villages and our families,
they won't agree to this union.

They won’t!

You are not from Obovi.

Your grandfather was a king in Esa.

He was the chosen of the marine kingdom.

You are royalty. That’s why
they named you Prince.

Your father married your mother
and refused to take his place as King.

Which is why the wizards
needed to initiate you at all costs.

Esa is the land of water.
You are a child of water.

That's why water cannot kill you.

That's why this is your home.

Flesh of my flesh. Bone of my bone.

Blood in, blood out.
Till death do us part.

Repeat what she said!

Repeat what I said.

-You?
-It's me.

-No!
-Let me in!

-No!
-Let me in, I escaped.

No. I can’t let you in.

-I can’t let you in.
-Why?

I can't let you in
because you now belong to them.

If you don’t let me in, they will know
your house and come for you.

So let me in…

I will explain. Just let me in.

The risk is too much.
I can’t afford to take such a risk.

-Go!
-Really?

Yes, you’re one of them now.

-Really?
-Yes.

Okay.

Behave yourself!

I saw Haggai this morning.

She was crying, wailing,
shouting and calling your name.

Asking you to come and help her,
to come and save her.

-Haggai?
-Yes, Haggai.

The one that stole my picture
and used it for voodoo.

And she expects me to save her?

Granted, Haggai was foolish.

She’s even more desperate now.

That’s the more reason
why I should avoid her.

If you avoid her, they will kill her.

For two reasons.

For not bringing you back,

and for making it possible

for the marine spirits to be hovering
all around Obovi looking for you.

She will die.

So how am I supposed to save her?

OK.

You will save her…

by showing her love…

and saying I love you
seven times and breaking the spell

that makes her a witch.

That's right.

We’ll save her. But first,
we have a bigger problem.

I need you to follow me to my house now
so that we can fortify it.

That thing you put in your house
that makes them not see you. Come and

install it in my house.
Whatever you call it.

Then I can think of going to save Haggai.

But for now, this is our problem.

Why do you keep saying we?

You’re the one who has a bigger problem.
I don't have a problem.

Let's go.

-It's okay.
-Are you sure?

Look at you, getting frightened
like a pregnant woman.

The weather forecast said
clear and sunny skies.

Forget about the weather forecast,
this is the Professor talking to you.

He's saying weather forecast.

It’s them.

Professor Pium!

Lock the car. Close your doors.

Let’s go!

-Let's go.
-Where?

-Let's go!
-To where?

-Let’s go right now!
-I don’t want to go anywhere!

I don’t want to go anywhere!

-Let's go!
-To where?

I’m not your husband!

I’m not your husband!

I’m not your husband!

Really?

Come out.

Don’t make me do
something crazy. Let's go.

Please. I don’t want this,
I beg you in the name of God.

You are my betrothed.

I don’t belong here. We belong there.

There’s nothing for us here. Let’s go.

You will die here, they will
burn you and you will be buried.

Stop this, it’s time to go.

Alright, It’s time to go.

Prince!

No!

No, Prince!

Oh oh ah!

We have gathered here to treat…

crimes committed by one of us.

One that is punishable by death.

By my own very grand daughter.

Will the accused come
forward now?

You have been condemned.

Seven days from now,

you’ll fall sick, seriously.

You will be taken to the village square.

There you will confess to witchcraft.

As I condemn your soul

here in spirit,

so shall it manifest seven days from now.

-Open your mouth…
-Wait. Hey!

I love you! I love you!
I love you! I love you! I love you!

I love you! I love you!

I love you! I love you! I love you!
I love you! I love you! I love you!

I love you!

You thought it was easy, Prince?

No! It doesn’t work like that.

Words without emotion, are like trees

without leaves.

You cannot run away from your destiny,

you belong to us.

You are ours.

-No, it’s a dream. I’m dreaming.

It’s a dream.

Prince, wake up. It's a dream.

I'm dreaming. It's a dream.

No, It’s a dream.

What’s that?

I don’t want!

I’ve been telling you people
this is a dream.

It’s not real. Stop!

Sir, It’s a dream, you too
wake up!

It's a dream.

Excuse me sir.

Tonight, destiny is upon us!

The Prince that was stolen from us,
has returned to us.

And is ready to be crowned the King.

Oh oh ah!

What happened?

He is not the chosen one.

I told you.

Impossible!

They have cast a spell on him.

Prince!

Take that rusty piece of shit
off his head!

He belongs to us, not you!

I belong to everybody
and I belong to nobody.

You people should let me go.

Take away your spell
and get out of this place!

Watch your tongue old man,
before I rip it out.

Remove the spell, he belongs to us.

I am leaving this place with him.

Neither you nor him will leave here alive.

He is bleeding. The chosen…

The chosen does not bleed.

I told you.

Can I go now?

Can I go now?

Now grab her!

Behold! The chosen one.

The heir to the throne of Esa Kingdom!

And by extension,
the ruler of the Marine world.

Didn’t I tell you not to touch or hug
anybody in the village?

Princess, but…

Princess.

I said it…

It's the daughter.

Now you know why
I didn’t honour your invitation.

Do not bother my family again!

-No! Princess.

Please.

I love you. I love you.
I love you. I love you.

I love you. I love you. I love you.

You still haven’t explained it to me.

Some things are just best
left without explanation.

-Are you in any way…
-Let it go.

But you are my kid sister,
I deserve to know.

Just… let sleeping dogs lie.
Uhmm? Sometimes.

-You are keeping stuff from me?
-Prince!

Is this why you don’t live in the country?
Are you even human at all?

Prince, it’s me. I’m your sister.

Look, I’m alive.

Whenever you need
any help, always call me.

Always.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Mr promise and fail. We're
here. Look outside your window.
