It's not possible.

It's not possible?

How can you say it's not possible, Tanko?

-Why can't I-- -What do you want me to tell Karama?

Why can't I say it's not possible?

There is a lot going on in Gamji Energy right now as we speak.

But when you collected the gold, you said it was just for a while.

I don't understand.

All I'm saying is that yes, Nelson messed up

and we have had it up to here right now.

If he had done his due diligence, we wouldn't have been

suffering and going through what is happening right now.

Well, I told you.

You told me what?

That Nelson can't be trusted.

I've always had an off feeling about him. I don't know why you trust him.

Will you just shut up!

Shut up? Tanko.

Well, I'm sorry that I said that.

But all I'm saying is that you, you don't know Nelson like I do.

I mean, he wouldn't do anything, you know, deliberate to

just get us into this mess and let this thing happen.

You told me to shut up, Tanko.

I didn't mean to sound that way. I'm sorry about that.

You just have to believe me, Mairo, that

Nelson wouldn't have, you know deliberately

put us or me in this quagmire as we speak.

Well, Karama does not know or care about Gamji Energy.

As far as she is concerned, the gold is with me.

And she wants it back.

I even told her that you know nothing about it.

And she believed you.

I mean, how did he even hide such amount of gold

that amounted into billions without being caught?

It's all about greedy people.

Maybe he didn't settle someone and that was how he found himself in that scandal.

Do you know what I think?

I think it is just you, your friends and Karama

that know that this gold is some place else.

Else, Karama wouldn't have been prancing, bragging and

feeling herself like that, if someone else knows.

Anyway, nonetheless, I wouldn't want you to worry about anything.

Leave everything to me. I will bring the money,

with regards to the gold and everything will be sorted.

You asked me to shut it.

Take it easy.

I need her to make those sounds that I fell in love with.

The mother of my children…

Just one child.

Many will come.

By God's grace.

By God's grace.

Hello.

Let's make this quick.

The gold is in her house.

Okay um, so we may need to act fast.

Just get in and get it out.

You're asking for a lot.

Okay, I understand.

I will pay for what you are asking.

But it better be a good job.

I've set everything in motion.

It may not be as easy as we thought, but we will get it.

I need more cup cakes.

You're really doing everything to look the part.

What does that mean?

Look at you.

Look at your cheeks

You are even looking chubbier.

And that pregnancy glow.

I don't understand.

Isn't that the plan? To make it believable?

Yeah, I'm sorry. I mean…

everything is just so convincing

Look at you.

Even the pregnancy glow looks real.

I can't wait to hold my child in my arms.

Don't worry, very soon.

I can't wait too.

Is Tanko buying it?

Yes, he is really into it.

And I don't want him asking any funny questions.

So it's a good thing I look the part.

Go on, spit it out.

What's wrong? You look worried.

You look exactly like me.

So, you first.

What's on your mind?

To be honest, there is like, so much on my mind.

Like a whole lot.

But at the top of it, I think the jinns are back.

Since when?

Since recently. I mean, it's so emotionally draining.

I can barely sleep at night for the fears that I will start sleepwalking.

I'm so sorry, Atika.

Are you going to see the Mallam that helped you the last time?

I've been thinking of it.

Back to you, what's wrong?

At the top of my list.

Apart from this,

it's the gold.

There's no way Tanko can raise that amount in a short time.

I don't even know how to face Karama.

I understand.

We need to come up with a plan, or this will explode in our faces.

Explode?

How?

What is she going to do?

Call the police on us? Or what, take us to court?

Let's not tempt fate.

Right, yeah true. But I mean…

Don't worry. Everything is going to be fine.

I have a plan.

They are back again.

I saw them with you immediately you walked in.

But, I mean… I thought they were supposed to have been tamed permanently.

You have been settled.

You are disturbed now.

When you are in unrest, they are in unrest.

They need you to settle so they can settle.

But it's all so scary. It's just scary how…

how you're just not sure when they would manifest.

I mean, I have gone through this throughout my teenage years.

I had no friends because of this. Everyone thought I was sick in the head.

They are ignorant.

You are strong-willed.

Not many people are chosen to host jinns.

You are saying it like it's a good thing.

It's not good or bad.

It is just a misunderstood thing.

What is happening, Atika?

It's Karama.

I mean, she gave me some gold worth

a lot of money to keep for her before her husband died.

I've tied it into investments and now she's asking me for it.

It's just stressing me out.

Now I know why you want to hurt Karama.

Hurting Karama is not the answer to your problems.

It is not the solution.

Then what is?

You will soon find out.

And the jinns?

They are very strong right now.

I cannot do anything about them.

They will stop when they are ready to stop.

I suppose I cannot ask you when they will be ready to stop.

Karama.

How are you?

Baba, I will be fine.

I mean, what is this all about?

Baba, I want to know about my husband.

What do you know about him?

Baba please, I deserve to know everything.

Oh Karama, it's a long story. It's a long story.

I have all the time and so do you.

By God's grace.

Okay, do you understand?

Your husband, Tukur, came to work for Alhaji a very long time ago.

Yes.

You mean my husband was an employee to the real Alhaji Madugu?

Exactly.

Exactly.

Ah.

You see, Madugu was not a relation of Alhaji but they were very close.

I don't understand.

He was not his father?

No.

Everybody thought he was.

But actually, Madugu was not a blood relation of the Alhaji.

Then…

Then who is this man?

Well, listen to me.

The question of who is or who is not

is one secret I will take to my grave, by God's grace.

So, don't bother. Don't even try asking me again.

So, let me get this.

My husband was an employee to the real owner,

-Yes. -Alhaji Madugu.

Okay. Then how come he owns everything. How?

You see, they were very close.

Madugu was trusted by the real owner of this place.

And he entrusted him with everything,

including the estate, to your husband to take care of.

Then just like that, he disappeared.

I don't understand, he disappeared. How did he disappear?

‎Well um…

There are many stories and many beliefs about his disappearance.

Some people said Alhaji Madugu killed him.

Some said his enemies killed him.

And actually…

nobody can say for sure what happened.

So just like that,

he just disappeared, he just vanished into thin air.

Just like that.

‎Just like that.

And Karama…

Let me ask you.

Why all these questions?

I mean, of what use is the information to you?

There's no problem, Baba.

You know sometimes, it's good you understand things.

Definitely.

That will be all. You can go.

-Good bye. -Thank you.

Take care, my dear.

Well done.

Bastard.

You were living a lie?

You were dying and you could not even confess?

Rot in Hell!

What am I supposed to do?

Even my friends are betraying me now.

Everyone I know is living a fake life.

Every single one.

Karama, think. Think, Karama, think.

Think.

Ah!

Atika masifa.

Hello, babe.

Mairo.

Mairo, he's dead.

Who is dead?

Atika, you're not making any sense.

Calm down. Calm down and take deep breaths.

Is there anyone else in the house?

No, no, don't check.

Quick, lock the bedroom door and lock yourself in the bathroom.

I'm going to get you help.

No, I'm not trying to make you panic.

But if there is anyone in the house, they would have run.

Just do as I say. I don't want to take anything for granted.

Let me call Nelson now.

You really can't remember what happened?

Nothing.

Well, I just… I just opened my eyes and

there was a dead body right there on the floor in my bedroom.

Tika… Tika, this is bizarre.

I know.

Look.

Thank you so much for everything.

Like… thank you for bringing me here.

Thank you for calling the police. Thank you for everything.

I have so many questions.

But right now I'm just…

All that's on my mind is that I'm full of gratitude that you're alive.

Come here.

Once we are done here, I would need to question her.

She was still in shock when I saw her earlier.

-Have you taken the pictures? -Yes, I have.

Okay. Don't move the body yet because I called in a favour.

You know, I want the medical examiner to supervise the movement of that body.

He'll be here shortly.

This is so strange.

She said she doesn't know the man?

She is sure she has never seen him before.

The puzzling thing is how he ended up dead.

She remembers them breaking in, she remembers them being tied up.

But after that, absolutely nothing.

She said them?

Or did they fight and one of them ended up dead in the process?

Wait… she lives alone in this house?

Yeah, the domestic staff don't stay over. I mean, she likes her privacy.

So, they come in the morning and go in the evening.

Certainly, they must have tampered with the wires

on the fence and they tried to force the doors open.

They obviously made their way through the windows downstairs.

I mean…

What were they looking for? She doesn't keep money in the house.

That is the question that needs to be answered.

Who are you?

-We are waiting. -Permission to fall out.

Who are you?

Where is madam?

How do you know, madam?

I work for her.

Do you know him?

I came as soon as I heard about what happened.

So, do you have an idea of what happened to her?

Kill… kill.

This is a shock to me. I have no idea of what could have happened.

No. Unfortunately, we had some hitches.

We lost a man.

And they had to leave before the police arrived.

I don't have all the details but it appears we may have underestimated her.

There was no mention of a gun.

It appears that way. Like I said earlier on, the details are sketchy.

I'm so sorry for the unforeseen circumstance. I will fix it.

Vodka?

Yeah.

-Neat. -Neat!

It's a bit too early to drink but, I've just had a long night.

Thanks for coming here.

I really don't want us to be seen in the office.

Oh, I understand. I can understand why.

How did he react when he found out

about the community's agreement with Gamji?

He was all up in nuts.

I think he's too much of a friend to blame me for it.

Friend? Yet you have no qualms in swallowing Tanacious using Gamji.

I should be afraid working this out with you.

This is not about friendship.

It's about business.

I mean…

My greed will keep us as cohorts, and as long as this

table remains lucrative, you have nothing to fear.

We both stand to gain billions from this.

Which is why I've shared the table.

I'm not ruled by sentiments.

Yes, Tanko is my friend but…

he's too weak and slow. You know, I need

rapid movements which is what will give me what I want.

Slow?

He raised the cash for Gamji in a short period of time.

Even I was impressed at the speed at which it happened.

Let me put it this way.

A golden opportunity came our way.

Well, here is to more golden opportunities.

Cheers.

My friend.

Thank you guys so much for bringing me clothes to wear.

I mean after what happened, there's no way I'm going back to that bedroom.

You're welcome. Anything for you.

So, when are you going back home?

In a few days.

I just, I just want to… you know,

stay here for a bit and just get myself back mentally.

Ah.

Excuse me.

It's… I will be back in a moment.

That was… quick.

So, where are we?

Sorry.

It's alright, you'll be fine. It's part of it.

It's part of everything. Shh.

Sorry, sir. Sorry, madam.

Alright, stand up.

It's alright.

You'll be fine.

Nurse, how many minutes? She's very close, just three minutes.

Okay. Just take her to the labour room, please.

-Excuse me, sir. Excuse me. -Yeah?

-I… -Doctor, I want my husband.

‎-I… I want my wife. ‎-Listen.

-I have to be with my wife. -Hold on, sir.

‎I need to prep her.

-Besides, you can't go in like this. -But I…

Hold on, please. I'll send a nurse to get you protective gear.

-Okay. -Please.

-But, I… I can't-- -Just…

Karama. Yes. It has finally just happened.

What I've been wishing and praying to Allah for years has happened.

My wife is finally in the labour room.

She's about giving birth.

So, it's called uh, preci… precipitated labour.

And everything just happened so fast right like…

even as we are speaking I'm sure she is just, she is giving birth already.

-Is that what they told you? -Yes.

Yes, the nurse just said it.

You know, I am not surprised

that Mairo was able to fool you with her fake pregnancy.

What the hell are you talking about? What do you mean?

Oh obviously, I am not speaking French.

Your wife faked this pregnancy.

‎When you leave this hospital,

you are going to leave with a baby that she purchased.

Shut up. I say, shut up.

Karama, are you with me? Will you just shut up?

If I had not known you, I would have considered you mad.

I would have considered you insane.

Is something wrong with you?

What is wrong with you? How would you ever spew this rubbish?

Well, you know me well enough to know that I am not mad.

Tell me something, Tanko.

Did you ever see your wife naked throughout this pregnancy?

Not even once?

You have gone mad. You have completely gone mad.

I'm telling you, be careful.

‎Karama!

I am perfectly sane.

You are just afraid of what I am telling you.

Tell me, what are you doing standing here, while your wife is giving birth?

It is precipitated labour.

Oh.

It happened so fast.

Then the nurse just gave me this

‎and they rushed my wife ‎into the labour room.

Are you expecting me to just barge into the doctors like…?

Shh. You are just distracted.

They distracted you because there is

no way they will allow you into the labour room.

Don't fool yourself, Tanko.

Be careful.

Be careful. I warn you be very careful.

Your wife has my gold.

Lots of gold.

Oh I now see…

Oh, this is the meaning and reason for the vicious wickedness.

I don't care what you call it. I need my gold back immediately.

And tell your wife she hasn't felt my wrath yet.

If she does not return my gold back…

Then she should be prepared

because she won't recognise the person I will become.

We will need to get rid of her.

What the hell do you mean by get rid of her?

You know exactly what I mean.

I don't want blood on my hands.

Okay, I'm in.

Congratulations, father to a male child.

Till we come for the naming ceremony.

Hello, Mr. Daura.

We barely made it into the theatre before your son came out.

Congratulations.

Listen, I want you to know that mother and baby are doing excellently well.

You don't have a problem.

I'll see you.

You bitch!

Look at this idiot.

Look who the cat dragged in.

How could you?

What are you talking about, dear?

We should never have told you.

I told Mairo not to tell you.

Yes!

I mean, you always think that you are the queen bee.

You are the only one that everything should go good for.

You just had to tell Tanko.

Look, all she wanted was a child.

You just had to destroy everything.

You and your fake morality.

Look Karama, after everything that we have been through together?

Hey, you are such a disappointment.

Yes, you are a betrayer!

You're boring me to tears, Atika.

Oh.

Guess what? Luckily for you, I have a more interesting topic.

Where is my gold?

The cat that dragged you left with your tongue?

You must really think little of me to charge in here all alone.

Hajia in shining hijab and defender of all things.

Did you come here to beat me?

Hmm?

I want my gold back.

"I want my gold back."

Huh?

Which gold?

-Which one? -Really?

Oh, the one that you worked so hard for?

Oh, no. I mean…

Sleeping with Alhaji Madugu was so much work for you, was hard work.

You want your gold back. Stolen gold, right?

Look, take a very good look at me. Do I look like Mairo?

Huh?

Atika.

I've not even started with you and look at you all here shouting.

By the time I descend on you, you will hate the day you decided to mess with me.

-And what would you do? -Okay.

What would you do?!

Tell me!

Look, that is my own share of the loot. Yes!

If you are going to do something about it, I dare you. Karama, I dare you!

And if you dare…

You know where to find me.

What is it?!

And what about the horses?

Just sell them all.

Just sell it.

Tanko, please come back home. We need to talk.

You haven't said anything since everything happened.

Isn't it time you listened to me?

I'm so, so sorry.

I can explain.

I… It's been very difficult for me.

You know I've always wanted a child.

Wait.

I did this for him, for us.

Let me get something straight.

You did this for him?

Don't make this hard.

You want it easy, don't you?

Okay.

Did he maybe do something that pushed you to doing this?

Did you tell him about the last IVF that failed?

After the 3rd one, he asked me to stop trying.

-Then why didn't you listen to him? -I know Tanko.

He can't pretend to me.

I've known him for more than half of my life.

He wanted a baby.

And out of your kind and generous heart,

you decided to go get him a gift for being such a good husband.

Then you went shopping for…

Mairo, look at me. You know I won't lie to you.

Did you go to buy him a pair of Stefano Bemer shoes?

Or maybe a diamond studded cufflinks?

No, right?

My friend went to buy a baby.

This infertility thing, it messes with your head.

I thought it was going to work.

I didn't mean to hurt him. I know I was wrong.

You have to believe me.

Mairo.

I don't know what to believe,

‎and I don't know ‎what you want other people to believe.

You should have said something.

Every single time I asked,

‎you always maintained everything is okay.

I love Tanko.

I wanted…

It's just…

So sorry for keeping you waiting.

You have it?

I wouldn't be here if I didn't have it.

Okay, shall we?

Someone's in a hurry.

Just give me a moment.

Okay.

Complete. The amount me agreed, yeah?

That's fine. I mean, you have my account number already.

-Sure. -Thank you so much, Nasiru.

No, thank you Atika. I appreciate.

Hello.

Yes.

Yeah, I have all the gold.

Yeah, I didn't have to go the other route.

I don't know, I don't care.

What matters is I have everything completed. I have all the gold bars.

Yes.

Yeah, I will bring it as soon as it is safe.

I will call before I come.

Alright?

Okay.
