Original subtitles

Come on Tanko, don't let this push you over the edge.

I get it. You're in shock but…

Thick skin, my man. Shake it off and we move on.

You haven't been yourself lately.

How can I be myself?

Nelson…

How?

She betrayed me and made me look very stupid.

Foolish.

I know.

But betrayal is in categories, okay?

Sometimes you betray someone because you want to gain an advantage.

Sometimes you betray them because you want to do something good for them.

Brother, just… spare me that half-baked sermon.

Nelson, I swear betrayal is betrayal.

I can't forgive her.

I cannot even mention her name.

You just need a little time, okay?

-You know how women are. -Stop it.

This is beyond a woman's behavior.

Do you understand? Give me forever, I will still feel the same, Nelson.

Give me a thousand years, I will still feel the same.

Do you know the dreams I have…

I planned for this child?

Do you know the parties I planned that both of us are going to attend?

Sign these documents first.

You don't understand.

I intend to take this child to awesome, glamorous birthday parties.

Having your child, visiting the most fantastic malls ever…

And having your child… placing your child on the

trolley and moving from one aisle to the other.

-Aisle after aisle. -I understand.

You don't understand.

She wanted to even keep the delivery away from me.

I swear, stop this thing.

Stop shaking off and making me feel like I'm lying here.

She wanted to keep the delivery from me. Where does she want to do it?

She wanted to have the baby at Abu Dhabi.

Yes, so she could keep that away from me.

If not for Karama…

If not for Karama…

Nelson.

I want a divorce.

Of course you don't.

-I want a divorce. -No, you don't.

What's a bigger betrayal, my friend?

Her hiding a pregnancy or you hiding a wife?

I am entitled to more than a wife.

Okay then, fine.

So, why are you then hiding her from Mairo?

Exactly.

Look, a little advice, my friend.

From a bachelor who no one is willing to get married to?

From a man who is smart enough not to get caught up

in these sort of lies and end up living a double life.

Oh, really?

From a man who can handle women.

You're just saying what you like.

Hmm?

Well, how is Atika?

Diversion.

Back to you.

Don't make a rash decision, okay?

Forgive so that you can be forgiven.

You have some nerve coming into this house.

I was shocked that your staff let me in.

Oh.

Maybe you forgot to update them with our status.

Mairo and Karama, it's complicated.

Oh, no.

Mairo and Karama are now enemies.

After what you did to my marriage, I have nothing to say to you.

I don't even want to look at your face.

Bad enough for you, you have what belongs to me.

And I'm not leaving your face until I have it back.

I did nothing to your marriage.

You and Atika finished it.

You know, how foolish could you be to buy a baby

for a man that is not pressuring you for one, huh?

You know I was never in on this your idea in the first place

because it was such a stupid plan.

But you know the problem with you, Mairo?

When it comes to marriage, your brain cells disappear.

You told him!

You let the cat out of the bag.

He never even made it to the labour room.

If you wanted to tell him all this time,

why did you wait till we were at the hospital?

He would have found out.

What's wrong with your brain?

One DNA test and everything would have been out.

See, this your marriage, you and him, it's none of my business.

I want my gold.

You and your husband should better cough it out.

You keep mentioning my husband.

Why are you so concerned about him? Are you sure this is just about the gold?

Look at her.

My husband…

All rubbish.

Have you ever sat down to think why your husband never pressured you for children?

Oh, you know nothing.

Only if you know.

But you're so foolish.

So gullible.

Following Atika like a puppy dog,

while your darling husband has a whole family somewhere else.

Of course.

Nobody ever has that many business trips.

Oh, your bestie did not tell you?

She was planning to tell you.

Because your bestie, Atika, introduced her cousin to your husband.

-And they are happily married. -No.

You are lying. You are only trying to hurt me because of the gold.

Mairo. You know the problem Atika always had with you?

You were Miss Goody Two-Shoes.

There was really nothing bad about you to persuade Tanko to leave you.

So, Atika led you like a lamb to the slaughter.

Don't even ask me how I found out.

Your friend did not confide in me. She knows me.

It was Atika.

She brought up the idea that we should invest the gold.

She… she used part of it to start building her factory.

Then she kept the other half at her house.

The two friends I trusted.

The two friends I trusted more than my family.

I've known you and Atika for over 20 years.

And then you decided to just come up with a plan to…

And now, my husband's family are on my neck.

I'm so sorry, Karama.

Tanko asked me for the gold.

He pawned it to acquire Gamji energy.

The stupid fool.

I sacrificed so much

to help build an empire he is planning to enjoy with another wife.

I'll destroy him.

Who did he pawn the gold to?

I don't know yet.

I'll find out.

Is she around?

What?

Will you get out of my way?!

Who is this glorified almajiri?

If you know what is good for you, disappear from my sight.

It's okay AK, let Her Highness come in.

I'll see you later, AK.

Hmm.

Big women of Abuja.

We're not age mates with the young ones.

So between you and me

who is the young one?

Oh, Atika.

You do know you should never underestimate me, right?

Oh, empty threats.

You're very lucky that I am in a good mood.

Or you would have done what?

Told your local dog to bite me?

Funny enough, AK does not scare me.

He never has and he never will.

You really think that I need someone to help me deal with you?

Karama, you still don't know who I am after all these years.

You still have no idea what I am capable of.

Oh Atika, please.

I know you more than you think I do.

It's your arrogance that is your undoing.

Anyway, cut this talk.

I want my gold.

And what makes you think that I still have it?

I know more than you think I do, Atika.

Mairo told me everything.

You're using my gold to build your factory.

You're keeping a little bank under your bed while giving me a run around.

Enough of all of this, Atika.

I want what is mine.

That stupid fool. I knew she would run her mouth.

I knew it.

Look, read my lips, Karama.

I am not giving you anything! Nothing.

You can go to Hell.

Oh my God.

Funny you mention Hell as a destination.

Brace yourself.

That stupid fool knows what you've been doing.

They say Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

But hey, none of us is going to Hell.

Be rest assured that Hell is visiting you soon.

He signed them all.

I told you.

You're something else, you know?

I try.

Did he even read them?

Are you fishing for juicy details?

Look, all you need to know is that the legal binding documents are duly signed.

No, really.

You know, cause all I want is right here, like you rightly pointed out.

Exactly.

But let me ask you something.

How are you comfortable sharing your Gamji shares for half the price?

Isn't that a loss for you?

A loss?

A loss will be walking out with nothing and I never leave with nothing.

In fact, counting my losses while I'm ahead is a win situation.

But it's a loss for some people.

Hey, I didn't make the rules. In life you win some, you lose some.

But in your case, it's a win-win situation.

Now, you understand me.

It's a pleasure doing business with you, sir.

See you soon.

Gamji.

You dirty bitch.

How dare you?!

How fucking dare you?

And the kitten roars like a lion.

Shut up, you slut.

You evil… evil thing.

Your vocabulary needs a bath.

Atika, you messed with the wrong one.

I am your nemesis.

How dare you?

Pretending you were my friend all this time.

You are mad?

Just shut up.

Shut up!

When you don't use your brain cells. Dummy!

You should be very happy that I took notice of you.

Bloody wallpaper. See her.

Doormat!

I mean, it's quite obvious. It's only a man that can get you this angry.

Look. Karama is the one causing all this.

She's trying to pit us against each other and when we fight, she wins.

-Don't let her win. -No.

I'm done listening to you.

The biggest mistake I ever made in my life

is thinking you had my best interest at heart.

Is your cousin married to my husband?

Are you deaf?

Is your cousin married to my husband with his children?

So, you engineered all of this to destroy my marriage?

Shut up!

Shut up!

-Answer me, you spawn of the devil. -Shut up! Silly,

silly little thing.

So you came here without any fear?

Are you okay?

Sorry, sorry.

No, it's okay. Sorry.

Now, look.

Sorry.

Let's go.

What do you want?

Sorry about what happened to your sister.

Uh Nelson, it's you.

I just don't believe it.

Just for a little gold?

Gold?

Yeah.

Her gold jewelries, her earrings, her necklaces.

Yeah, I um…

Yeah, it's uh…

It's unfathomable, you know.

Do you think it's the same gang that broke in?

The thief that was killed or maybe it was a revenge?

These things are hard to explain.

Look, I'm really sorry for what happened to your sister.

Atika didn't deserve to die like that.

I really hope the culprits are found.

I hope so too.

Look I um, don't mean to rush you but I really have to lock up now.

I don't understand.

Why do you have to lock up?

This house belongs to me.

Or should I say belonged to me.

I just sold it.

Look it's for the best, okay?

Considering what happened here at the property.

But Atika's things are still… are still here.

I can have them sent to you if that's okay.

You really have to go now.

What's up?

What's the meaning of this?

When did I sign this?

Oh, this.

Yeah. I believe you signed this on that desk with that pen if I'm not mistaken.

Why?

Why what?

What's going on here? I mean…

You made me want Gamji.

We got Gamji.

And now you sold it at half price without letting me know?

Nelson, why?

Why not?

Stop asking me why not.

Stop looking into my eyes and asking me why not.

Bastard!

You know… You know, name calling is not your… not your best forte. I mean…

Is that the best you can do?

I thought we've been friends.

-I've been your friend all this while. -Really?

Really, Tanko?

Really?

Huh?

You know, standing here and looking at you look

this constipated is making this all worth it.

What have I ever done to you

-Oh come on ,Tanko. -…that is wrong?

-Come on. -What have I ever done to you?

-Nelson? -Even now.

In this very moment, you choose to be sanctimonious.

I've always played 2nd fiddle to you my entire life.

You just come and just take it all, huh?

Take what?

What did I take? We are partners.

Oh, really?

We are partners?

Who is the CEO?

I'm the CEO and you're comfortable with that.

We cannot have two CEOs.

Is that what you tell yourself every night?

Is that what you tell yourself before you sleep every night?

I am the core of Tanecious Energy.

I came up with all the ideas. The entire plan is mine.

You just come and take it like you always do,

with your grandstanding, and just take it all.

Even the name "Tenacious Energy" has your name on it.

TA. Mine is next, NE.

You just say that, oh yes, I will never forgive a betrayal.

But guess what, I am way ahead of you.

Who saw Mairo first, huh?

-Don't tell me this is about-- -I did.

I saw her first, okay?

I spoke to her first.

-You just come and just show up. -She was never yours.

She would have been mine. She would have been.

That's not true.

You are a sick man.

Oh, you have no idea.

-You are a sick man. -You have no idea.

Everything I wanted, you took.

Everything I worked for, you took the credit for it.

But take this, okay?

Watching you squirm like a little bitch is making all the three years worth it.

Hey.

You've got guts.

You nitwit.

I swear…

I will give you that.

Now, listen to me very carefully.

You walked into my office casually.

And you're here looking into my eyes and speaking to me about betrayal.

And you think you want to walk away?

I will destroy you.

I will finish you.

I swear…

You know before you start to conceptualize that idea of destroying me.

Take a look at this video.

Yes. Yes, Tanko.

Look at it.

Next time you think about destroying me, remember this.

Rubbish.

It took you long enough.

But I have it all. Everything is here.

I was afraid we were not going to recover it.

It was touch and go. But it's here.

But you haven't told me how you did it all.

Listen and learn from the grandmaster.

Every piece fell in place exactly the way I planned.

What's in it for me?

That is why I like you. You always have your interests at heart.

Some people call it selfishness.

They are hypocrites.

Self preservation is Self Care 101.

Is one billion naira enough?

I'm listening.

How much gold are we talking about?

Enough?

So, Mairo will give it to you.

This is the best wake up call, I must say.

Gamji, here we come.

Okay. I will see you later.

Alright, thanks T.

Yes!

Alhaji, hi. Sorry to bother you but this couldn't wait.

Yes, he just told me that.

How did you know that was going to happen?

Thank you, sir.

Yes Alhaji. She's uh… she's ready to pawn.

Yes.

And who was that on the phone?

Like you care.

I find you really cute when you're like this.

I find you cute when you're obstinate.

If you ever needed me, would you let me know?

Maybe.

-Nelson? -Hmm?

Do you by any chance know anyone that I can trust to help me pawn off gold?

I know just the person.

This way, the gold was uncovered.

And distributed.

And as far as the principal actors are concerned, it is scattered.

If ever Karama is questioned, she will talk about how the gold found

its way back to the market and it's scattered all over the place.

What will you do?

Gladly do what I have always wanted to do.

Leave with my treasure.

So that when the right owner ever shows up, there will be nothing for him.

This is what I like about you, Nasiru.

You are very promising.

Well uh, this bag is for you.

Goodbye, then.

Goodbye.

Hello?

Do you remember what I told you?

It's going to happen tonight.

Get rid of him.

Did you see the address I texted you?

You look like you have seen a ghost.

You should look like you're seeing one too.

How long have you known?

I knew that Nasiru was going to snitch.

My bet wasn't you but I had hope.

Well, I must say that it is good to see you, my darling wife.

My husband, I can't say the same.

Always straightforward.

Isn't that what you always liked about me?

And I still like about you.

Why did you do it?

That was the only way out.

There was no other way to go into hiding forever.

Isn't it good seeing your husband again?

My husband is dead.

Then why did you come?

So we could have this talk.

I had to say goodbye properly.

You could come with me.

Oh no.

Where you are going to, Alhaji, you do not need an escort.

If I didn't know you, I would have said you're threatening me.

But even if you're threatening me,

I know you too well to be scared.

You don't know me.

Karama.

What is this saying, this common saying?

Small but mighty.

If I didn't, planning this would have been difficult.

You should have told me.

You should have planned everything with me.

Why didn't you?

Why?

I became disappointed.

It's seems you haven’t learned anything from this debacle.

Learned what?

You are not supposed to trust anyone, Hajia.

You have always said you have friends.

What is this thing you young people call it?

Ride or die. Yes, ride or die.

You would have done anything for your friends.

But… how did you know they were going to turn their backs on me?

It is as plain as day and night.

Mairo could kill for her husband.

You have always complained

to me that she could not do anything without letting her husband know.

She promised me not to tell him.

She could have told him before she got to the house with the gold.

And Atika?

Atika envied you and she hated you.

I never saw that.

Karama, there is this thing about you. Something special about you.

Whenever you walk into a room, it lights up.

You don't have to do anything to be noticed.

‎But you're always the first to be noticed.

Atika never liked that.

She hated you.

But she remained close to you because she benefited from it.

Alhaji.

You see everything.

All the years we were married, I never knew you could be this scheming.

Oh, it is not scheming.

It is keeping your cards close to your chest.

What happened to your boss?

-Karama. -Where is he?

I mean, how did you get the gold back?

After all this.

Karama, you want to know everything.

Or you think you know everything.

You think you have everything covered.

They say arrogance comes before the fall.

You asked how long I have known.

The moment you involved Nasiru, you involved me.

Well, it doesn't matter because I have the gold.

Do you?

Of course.

How do you know it's actually the gold that you have?

You know I'm amazed how the last person you never

should have trusted is the person you trusted.

Nasiru is my elder brother.

Baba Jodda is my uncle.

He hated you.

He hated you.

I speak past tense because you are dead.

Aren't you?

Wait.

Did you even know why Baba Jodda hated you?

He hated you because he hates thieves.

What did you do to the real owner?

Baba held on to the gold so faithfully.

Your mistake was thinking he was holding on to you.

You!

You stingy bastard.

Nelson told me everything.

We arranged for a fake buyer.

And now, I have the gold.

I run my mansion.

The stables.

Everything, Alhaji.

The stupid milkmaid.

Karama, please help me.

Help me please, Karama.

Help.

What was it you said?

You thought I was too trusting.

Gullible. You were so happy…

at how smart you are to outsmart everyone.

Well…

What was it you called yourself to Nasiru?

What was that? Oh, grandmaster.

Guess what, Alhaji?

You have no moves left.

Checkmate.

Are you sure it was there?

Yeah, you know, Nasiru didn't take chances.

This was why he didn't go to see Madugu immediately.

He didn't trust him at all.

Really?

He was right not to trust me.

Sincerely, I'm very sorry.

I should have seen that coming.

I swear, I should have seen that coming.

Well, I did.

I did and that's why I was trying to call him.

I called him several times.

And you know what?

Even me, I'm supposed to tell AK about you and Nasiru.

No, Baba.

He wasn't to be trusted at all.

So sad.

So sad.

We have seen something.

We have seen something.

We've seen something.

We found something.

Okay.
