All language subtitles for Madam Koi-Koi e02_ENGCP

The wizards,

and witches at home will allow wastage.

You this foul spirit,

and every witch and wizard in this town…

I knew they were
responsible but I just could not prove it.

As we bury this body,
let death depart from us.

Let it be so!

Let sickness depart.

Let it be so!

Both sickness
and death should never come back.

Let it be so!

I was determined to either find proof

or make sure it never happens again.

The undertaker
is the one who covers the grave.

Now go and bury her.

The traditional priest
at the time stressed the urgency of

burying the body right where
it was killed immediately it was found,

as it was a cursed forest
and her blood had mixed with the ground.

That itself created another series
of problems for the girl’s family.

It took the Kabiyesi and the palace elders

to convince her parents
and the police at that time,

as to why they had to
bury their daughter’s body

in the forest she
was killed against their will.

Because what they would have taken
home to bury wouldn’t be their daughter

but something else.

It didn’t take long
before the boys struck again.

Don’t, please. Please.

Please, I’m begging you.

I was in and out of
consciousness but I could still hear them.

Stop!

What are you doing?

Don't you know
who his father is?

If you kill him, what
do you think his father will do to you?

You want trouble to fall on your head?

Look, I don't care. At the end of the day,
everyone has to look out for himself.

You're a big fool.

If you kill this woman,

won’t it be obvious to him
that it was you that did it?

And you can't kill him
because of who his father is.

So, what are you saying?

Look, leave her alone and let's go.

There will be others.

You lie. Don't give me that rubbish.

When you were having your own fun,
you did not invite me.

Now that it's my turn,
you say, "Leave her. Let's go."

Not possible!

Alright then.

I've heard. I leave you to it.

However,
a smart person would heed my warning

and leave her alone.
I leave you to it and the consequences of

whatever happens to you if you go ahead.

Baba.

Ah!

I think I've lost my keys.

What kind of rubbish is this?

Okay let's go back and look for them.

No, no.

Don't bother yourself
on my account. They're just keys.

Look, I'll go back and look
for them myself and catch up with you.

Hurry up.

All of a sudden,
I hear a dull tapping sound like wood

striking the earth.

And then a loud scream from Ruth

and a loud scream
from Jude that was stopped abruptly…

and I passed out.

When I woke up, Jude’s body was
before me, looking like that.

We had to go to the place
where Sister Ruth was safest

and that was the school.

Sister Ruth.

You know this would not have
happened if you had listened to me.

I told your friend the same thing.
See what has happened to her.

And if you continue with this talk

about the dead coming back to life,

no one will believe you.

They will think that you have gone mad
and you will be dismissed.

Glory to God.

Let us just thank the Almighty that
what happened to you wasn't too bad.

Okay?

Now, sit.

Sit.

Mmm?

All is well.

For the past twenty years,
Sister Ruth hasn’t uttered another word.

I never saw what it was but

whatever it was that was able
to do that to Jude and Sister Ruth,

put the fear of God in me
and I knew it had to be stopped.

So I went to
the only person I knew that could help.

Father, I saw a spirit.

- Spirit?
- Yes.

- Where?
- In this village.

- Spirit?
- Yes.

- In this village? Ah-ah.
- Yes, it killed people.

- It killed people?
- Yes, father. Yes.

I had barely
finished explaining what happened

- to my father when he stood up,
- Our ancestors…

went inside to make divinations.

Gods of our land,
save me. My child must not die.

The vulture eats the head,
from dream to dream,

from dream to eating liver.

The supreme being,

he was asked to offer
a sacrifice so he won't die.

He offered the sacrifice
and it was accepted.

He said the preserver of life,
I will never die in this land.

The supreme being,
the preserver of life.

My child will not be sick.

Preserver of life,
supreme being, preserver of life,

My child will never again die
in this land, preserver of life

Oh supreme being, preserver of life.

The next time
I saw him was the next morning.

By the time I woke up early,
he was already on his way out.

His Majesty!

Father?

His Majesty!

If a hears from all angles.
Please say it as it. You know it all.

Olumu on the right, Olokanran on the left.

The middle tray the crossroad of heaven.

I pay homage to you.

You are an initiate,
he is an initiate, I am the uninitiated.

Speak to us in clear terms.

His Majesty!

The Oracle has spoken.

The Oracle says we need
to find a way to stop the evil spirit.

Because, once it has carried
out its mission of vengeance,

- it will turn on the village.
- Ah!

It is not good for the innocent
to suffer with the guilty, my King.

We have to do our best to stop it.

- Ifalade, please what can we do about it?
- My King!

Hmm!

Oracle, speak to me. What should we do?

Hmm!

My King,

the Oracle said
the matter is not that difficult.

Since it was blood that was spilled,

it is that same blood
that we will use for the sacrifice.

One finger from the father
and the son will be used for sacrifice.

Yes, my King.

Be quiet! Ah!

One finger from who?

Just because I am keeping quiet
doesn't mean I agree to this foolishness.

My King, you are the
sole reason I have not reacted…

Bolu's Father…

Be quiet!

- I'm listening to you.
- My King,

these boys are unaware
of the magnitude of their actions.

Furthermore,

after we are done with the sacrifice,

the boys and every member of their family

will be banished
from this town, never to return.

Because, my King,

the day they or any member of their
lineage sets foot in this village again,

the spirit will return with a vengeance.

Will you
shut up your dirty mouth?!

Now I have confirmed that
something is wrong with you!

I should leave this village
that my ancestors founded?

I'd love to see you try to chase me out.

Listen, a thousand
of you cannot chase me out.

- Bolu's Father!
- Hey!

I repeat, a thousand
of you cannot chase me out.

Bolu, follow me.

Bolu's Father

His Majesty, have mercy on us.

It is you and your ancestors
that will get their fingers chopped.

My King, please save us.

This same issue has claimed my son.

Let it not claim my life.
Please my King, save us.

Ifalade.

My King.

- Ifalade.
- My King, I'm answering you.

We've found
ourselves at a crossroads.

We cannot go forward, we cannot turn back.

What else can we do?

My King, there is really
nothing else we can do.

What I said is the best possible solution.

I don't think there's any other way.

No oh!

Ifalade, I disagree.

I am very sure that if you put your
mind to it, you can find another way.

My King, there may be another option.

However, my fear is that by the time we
figure out what that other option is,

it may already be too late
and evil will have overtaken the land.

- Ifalade.
- My King.

Do your absolute best.

Do everything within your power.

Do everything you can to find a solution.

However,

before we do anything else,
we will consult the Oracle.

- Is that clear?
- I understand, my King.

May the crown be with you.

- May it be so, my King.
- Thank you.

I’ll let you
know what I find out, my King.

My King, save us.

- My Chiefs, what do you think?
- His Majesty!

Unquestionable, King!

My King, I’ll be on my way.

As I said,
I’ll let you know what I find out.

He will answer.

Ah! Bolu!

Have mercy upon me.

I’ll do anything.

I’ll do anything you ask me to.

Spirits and gods of our land,
have mercy upon me.

Have mercy upon me.

I’ve caused my own misfortune,
but have mercy upon me.

I’ll do it.

Left with no other choice,

they all agreed to follow my father
into the forest for the sacrifice.

All deities, beings
and gods of Malomo town, I greet you all.

You 200 deities upholding the town of
Malomo, I pay homage to you all.

Sango oh! The husband to Oya oh,

Ogunlakaye osinmole I reverence you.

Esu chief of the world.

The terrible man called Lakoopa.

The one who wails more than the wailer,

the wailer wails,

Laroye bleeds

I pay homage to you today.

What we have come here to do today,

let it be successful.

May the sacrifice be pleasing,

may the sacrifice be acceptable,

may it ascend into the heavens.

Now kneel down.

Kneel down!

Give me your hand.

Ah!

Come on!

Come on!

I can't bear this!

Bring your hand!

All you spirits of Malomo.

I have done as you’ve asked.

Please find our sacrifice acceptable.

We sinned, evil has befallen us.

There are consequences for doing bad.

A butterfly that attempts
to cross the fire will get burnt.

I was told not to try it but I did.

They asked why,

the elephant who tried it before failed,

another tried it and also failed.

Ifalade has attempted it today,

all I have done here today
will be a success

Ifalade, have done all you requested.

May the sacrifice be acceptable.

From this day,

a bird's cry will be normal,
a rat's cry will be normal,

a human will speak as a human.

This is the end of the first part.
The sacrifice has been accepted.

Now get up.

Get up, get up!

Leave Malomo.

The day that is breaking
must not meet you here in Malomo.

And your lineage
must not be found in this town ever again.

Now get up and leave.

As I have commanded, let it be so.

Goodbye forever.

Thank you, spirits of Malomo.

Thank you. I’m grateful.

Thank you for accepting the sacrifice.

From today,

let everything return back to normal

and let peace reign in the land.

Thank you.

My father told us the story that night.

We both heaved a sigh of relief.

It was finally over.

The rule was mandated that
everyone new must see the Kabiyesi.

As long as people
checked in with the Kabiyesi

before they settle
here everything would be fine.

So, if the story you
just told us now is true,

that means someone from that bloodline

has come back into town.

Yeah, that is true.
Or is not aware of his history.

Mm-hmm.

What do we do now?

First, we have to find out who it is,

then we start looking for ways to stop
this thing before it starts killing again.

And how do we do that?

Where do we even start from?

This one, your
father is no longer with us.

If your father
was this all powerful herbalist,

I’m just wondering why
you didn’t continue the family business.

It is complicated.

Mmm. I’m sure it is.

But I think I have
somebody who may be of help.

My father’s former apprentice,
but he is not fond of me.

Baba. See, you’re going to try.

It’s too important.

Meanwhile, in the meantime,

I need you to give me the names

of all those people
that started all this problem.

Let’s see if we can track them down.

Thank you very much.

Yeah.

We’ll look into this.

Was that the first victim?

Yes.

We think it might
be a student from that your school.

But that your principal
is no help at all.

She will do anything to
protect the image of the school.

I am certain that that boy
is from our school. His name is Idowu.

How do you know this?

The birth mark on his back,

I’ve seen them once when he
was changing to play football.

We thought it was part
of the trauma from the attack.

That was Idowu.

That certainly is Idowu.

That was Idowu.

See, um, Officers I have to go.

- [Thank you very much.
- Mm-hmm].

Can you believe all that?

I don’t know.

I don’t know.

But…

It can't hurt to
follow this lead now, right?

What do we have to lose?

Time.

We will lose time going
on a wild goose chase.

Talking about
spirits and dead bodies rising.

Look,

my suggestion is,

we go and visit
that Mother Superior again,

find out what
she’s trying to hide from us.

- Baba oh!
- Greetings!

Greetings ma.

Jimi?!

Fajimi!

Where did he go now?

Is it the farm or…?

Come, oh my neighbors!

Come and see
the traitor! The traitor is here.

Good morning Fajimi,
can I come in and see you?

Traitors are not allowed
into my house. I don’t know you.

I’m not a traitor.

Then what are you?

You left your father’s
house without looking back

and you say you are not a traitor.

You are a bloody traitor.

But you know the reason
I ran away from home.

What good reason could you possibly have
to run away from your father’s house?

You know I caused the death
of a child in case you’ve forgotten.

Death of what?

The death of a child?

But your father
already told us that the child

was destined to
die by the hands of the gods.

There was no saving him.

And the fact that I was drunk
and I misdiagnosed

him had nothing to do with it?

Were you the only one drunk?

Weren’t we both drunk together?

Look, that’s all in the past
and has no bearing on today’s issue.

Fawole, leave the front of my house
before I hit you with my ring.

I said leave.

Look, fight with me after we are done.

The issue that brought
me here is bigger than our fight.

And what issue could that be?

Your father, as great as he was

left you a great job
and legacy to inherit.

You refused.
You left without looking back.

Even after he died,
you did not come back to bury him.

If not that I know who
your mother is, I’d call you a bastard.

You have a point but…

Look, Fawole, leave my front door.

Do you remember the spirit that
possessed the teacher that was killed?

That made my father banish Bolu,
his friends and their fathers?

It’s back.

How can you leave your own father...

I said the spirit is
back and it has killed four people!

Are you sure of what you’re saying?

If what you’re saying is true,
then we have a big problem.

Come in quickly. Ah!

- There's trouble.
- Your father told me a long time ago

that dealing
with that spirit was very problematic.

With the fear
that it would one day return.

Well, that which
he feared has come to pass.

There’s a lot of work to be done.

First of all, Fawole.
What’s your current occupation?

I’m the school’s facility manager
and chief security officer.

Idiot.

Common gateman.

Look at you. It’s not a simple job.

I have a school
leaving certificate and my G.C.E.

Mm, you've limited yourself.

Right.

And you know the
kind of man your father was.

He left a great job for you to inherit.

But you refused.
You left without looking back.

Ah!

Your father really needed you.

When you were here?

Fawole, what I would have to work
hard at is something that would come

naturally to you, being his son.

- Ha, Fawole!
- Forget…

That does not necessarily follow.

My father believed
so much in your abilities.

He said you never let him down.

And I am confident
that you won't let him down now.

Hmm

Okay. So what we have to do is…

I’ll be back.

Hmm!

Fawole,

What I saw is not good.

What I saw is not good.

Do you remember that it was a blood ritual

your father had to do to bind
the spirit and banish the offenders?

It was the blood ritual

that led to the end
of the affliction of the spirit.

I know.

Fawole,

things have gone awry.

Jimi, what is going on?

Fajimi, I said what is going on?

A long time ago,
a woman was killed in this village.

The villagers thought she was responsible
for the death her children.

They called her a witch.

All her children died
before the age of four.

So, the chief priest at that time

placed a curse on her.

Saying she would not know peace
or rest even in death.

Her spirit was cursed

to cry and roam

the forest forever.

Of course, it was done in error.

No one at that time knew that the woman

was not responsible
for the death of her children

but that the children passed away

before they turned four

as a result of the
terrible sickle cell disease

that they all had.

- And that’s how the story goes.
- Goodbye forever

- And since then, she hasn’t had rest.
- ♪ Goodbye forever ♪

The woman’s spirit began to roam
the length and breadth of the evil forest.

But as she roamed,

her spirit continued to cry for vengeance.

And if you listen carefully,

you will hear her cries just by
that tree on the outskirts of town.

- The tree at the main junction?
- Yes.

That was the same place
the teacher was murdered.

That was the spirit of vengeance.

That tree at the junction

rests directly on the spot
where the earth lines intersect.

And under the right conditions, the spirit
world can bleed into the physical

that intersection
caused the spirit of vengeance

to possess the body of the teacher
that Bolu and his friends killed.

This spirit of vengeance is now strong
and dangerous, and very angry.

So dangerous it almost
caused your father great harm.

Were it not for the fact that
your father himself is a formidable man,

it would have
frustrated your father's efforts.

And this is the reason why your
father banished the four families

from Malomo including Bolu's Father.

The day any member of their
lineage returns and sets foot in Malomo,

- then the spirit of vengeance will return.
- It has!

It has really returned.

Jimi. It is back.

Look, are you listening? That is not all.

It is back to kill and destroy everything,

both young and old, male and female.

No one is safe from it's wrath.

This spirit has
truly returned with vengeance.

Jimi, what can we do about it?

We have to stop it!

How do we know which member

of the four banished lineages
broke the covenant and returned to Malomo

and caused
the spirit of vengeance to return?

Fawole.

I’m with you.

The Oracle says you know the person.

The smell of the person is on you.

That’s impossible. My lineage
doesn’t associate with rubbish.

So you deny knowing the person?

I don’t know the person. Ah-ah!

You don’t know?

I am not very sure yet. Hold on for a bit…

What if I do know the person?
What then? What do we do with the person?

Mm-hmm!

Once you find the person,

just lay hold of the person
and bring the person here to me.

Once you bring the
person here, leave the rest to me.

Then we will know
if I'm truly your father's student or not.

Fawole, do you understand me?

When you find the person, bring the
person here quickly! As fast as you can.

Because we cannot
afford to waste any more time.

This spirit wants vengeance.

I’ve heard. I understand.

The spirit is angry.

I have heard. I'll be back shortly.

And it will have it’s vengeance.

I said I’ve heard you,
I'll be back shortly.

Hey!

What have we found ourselves in?

What can we do?

I'll be back.

I still think it’s a waste of time.

Maybe, but what do we have to lose?

We’ll just add this dead end to the
other dead ends we’ve been experiencing.

Morning sir!

But if it actually turns
out that Baba is right,

we might just have our first major break.

Good morning, sir.

- Do what you can do to find these people.
- Alright sir.

When I come back, I’ll see how far.

Okay sir.

We’ll see.

Listen,

- we already know she’s hiding something.
- Mm-hmm.

I don’t want you going
in there and losing your cool.

We go in, find out
what we want to find out and leave.

Okay?

I’ve heard.

He met with the officers,
and was there for hours.

Now they are here to see you, ma.

Okay.

Continue to keep an eye on him.

But for now, you'll allow the officers in.

After two minutes, you come in
and tell me there’s an emergency.

- Are we clear?
- Okay ma.

Madam, these officers are here to see you.

Oh, officers, please come in.

Have a seat please.

Thank you, Ige.

I’m sorry if I am a bit distracted,
there’s quite a bit to do.

That’s fine.

Uh, we would not take
up too much of your time.

Hmm.

We just have a few questions
for you and then we’ll be on our way.

Oh, go ahead.

Sorry to disturb you ma,

Father Francis said
I should call you, that it’s very urgent.

Oh, dear, dear, dear.

Excuse me officers but
I really have to attend to this business

No. But please maintain your seats.
I will be back with you shortly.

I will send somebody
to come and wait with you.

Should I get you anything?

- No thank you.
- Yeah, there’s no need.

Okay.

We give her 15 minutes and,

then we can leave.

Don’t worry,
I’m sure she’ll be here in no time.

One hour.

We’ve been waiting for over an hour.

We have better things to do.

Let’s just give it five more minutes.

If she doesn’t come, we’ll…

We’ll go and come back.

This is ridiculous.

Oh, dear, dear, dear.

You officers are still here?

I thought you would have left by…

Ige you did not tell me that
the good officers were still here.

I’m so sorry.
And it’s not like I can even stay.

There’s so much to do. I've been
summoned to the parish in town, so,

I really have to…

We don’t intend to take
up too much of your time, like I said.

Um,

we believe we have
found your missing student.

Officer, I did not
tell you that he was missing.

Idowu simply ran away.

And I will soon receive
confirmation from his parents.

You do not need any other confirmation.

He is the first victim,
going by the marks on his back.

Officer, anybody
can have those birthmarks.

It doesn’t mean it is Idowu. In fact,
I can assure you that he’s not the one.

We were reliably
informed by someone in this school.

Who?

We are not at liberty
to discuss that at this moment.

Why are you so hell-bent
on denying what is in front of you?

First of all,

I am not hell bent on anything.

Secondly officers, I must ask.
Why are you grasping at straws?

Any minute now,
I will receive confirmation

from Idowu’s parents
that he maybe ran away.

You know you can be charged
for obstruction of justice.

Because right now,
you are hindering our investigation.

What investigation, Officer?

None of these crimes were
committed on the school premises.

And what do you have?

A body?

With no face?

House wear that can be
bought in any open market?

But the attacks are getting closer
and closer to the school.

The attacks are getting closer
and closer to the market.

Officer, tell me, have you been there?

Or are we the only
ones obstructing justice?

What if you’re wrong?

What if it is him?

Aren't you at least curious
to know why he was attacked?

Or if your other students are
at risk of such an attack?

Don’t you even care
about the welfare of your students.

Everything I do is
for the welfare of my students.

You have a funny way of showing it.

Because we are here showing
you one of your students,

and you are sitting there denying it.

It’s as if she doesn’t even care.

Mother Superior indeed.

I have a God-given mandate…

to look after these students,
this school and to uphold the name of God.

And everything I have done is
in line with that mandate.

So no, sir. You will not sit in that seat

and speak to me about things
that you do not know and judge me!

We do not intend to offend.

Clearly you have.

I’m afraid I have more
important things to deal with. Excuse me.

- Hey, hey.
- It's okay.

Why are you taking it easy on her?

You know we should be arresting her for
obstruction of justice. I hope you know.

And then have
the community turn against us?

That’s not how things are done here.

She’s well respected in the community.

So it's the school
and the church for all their good work.

The last thing we need is
to arrest a religious figure and

not have any iron clad evidence.

Let’s go.

So what’s next?

I have a theory I want to check out.

We would have to get
the boy’s parents’ contact, so…

we can pay him a visit.

Oh okay.

You go on.
I’ll meet up with you at the station.

I want to hang back
and do some snooping around.

Let me see what I can find out
from these students. You never know.

Please be discreet.

Remember, we don't want to offend anyone…

I know, I know. Iron clad evidence…
superior religious… Yeah.

Okay.

- Hello.
- Hi.

Please, I’m quite famished.

Do you know where
I can get something to eat?

Come with me, sir.

Sir? Me? No, no no.

Call me Oscar. It’s my father that is sir.

Don’t let this briefcase fool you.
I’m a very young man.

I do not want to see those officers again.

Yes ma.

If they show up,
you tell them I am not around.

Also make sure that...

Hello?

Hello Sister,
what is going on in your school?

I am hearing various strange
and concerning reports.

I’m not sure I understand
what you mean Father.

Police officers in the school?

Bodies in the village?

One of them may be a student.
Is this true? Should I be concerned?

Oh, no, no, no.

It is not true, Father.

It is just the work of overzealous
police officers and rumor mongers.

Do you want me to get involved?

Oh, no. No Father,
It’s nothing that I cannot handle.

Okay. But don’t let it get out of hand.

The state is looking for any excuse
to take these schools off our hands.

Now, how are the boys preparing
for the scholars competition?

Oh, preparations are under way.

They boys are ready
and raring to go, Father.

Excellent.

I can't wait to see them.
See you in a few days time.

Yes Father.

Gentlemen.

I was just
on my way to check up on you boys.

How’s it going? Done already?

Good evening ma. Yes, we're done.

We were just heading back to the hostel.

Ah, I see. Good.

Where is Amanda?

Well, where is she?

We didn’t want to get
her into any trouble,

but she only came for the first day.

And we haven’t seen her since then.

And she didn’t
even stay for the full session.

I see.

Did she give any reason for her absence?

But the competition
is only a few days away.

It’s fine ma.
We’ve been managing without her. But,

it’s been a strain on poor Tokunbo.

Maybe she’s just not cut out for this.

Let’s not stress her.

That’s not good enough.

Is it important
that she be there with you?

Oh yes ma, it will definitely help.

Right.

What time are you meeting next?

Tomorrow by 7:00 p.m.

- Then she will be there.
- Thank you ma.

Even if I have to drag her there myself.

Off you go, boys.

- Thank you, ma.
- Alright.

Find her.

Make sure you bring her to my office,
first thing in the morning.

Good evening, sir.

The report
Inspector Oscar asked for is ready.

Which report?

About the four men from 1971, sir.

Oh.

Okay.

But, uh, two of them are dead.

The third one is
in the mental institution.

But we, uh…

The only one we
couldn’t find is called Sile.

It seems he has disappeared
since the '80s.

But the detailed reports are here, sir.

Okay.

- Good job.
- Thank you sir.

Um, has any of you seen Inspector Oscar?

- No sir.
- No. No sir.

- Okay, good job.
- Thank you sir.

Where are you…
You want to go and change?

What do you want
to change behind the tree for?

What is there that I’ve not seen already.

Ah, no sir.
What if other people pass and see me?

- Let me quickly change. I’ll be back. Mm.
- Go on.

So when will I see you again now?

Any time you want to see me,
you can come to the school and see me.

Okay.

Thank you for
the provisions. I really appreciate.

It’s my pleasure.

Is everything okay there?

Yes.

My button is a bit unhooked.

You need help?

Mm, no.

Thank you sir for the provisions.

But I have to go.

Hope nobody will
see you when you’re going.

No, there’s a place we always pass.

Oh okay, that’s good. That’s good.

Thank you very much.

Give me some bye-bye sugar now.

- Sir, please but I have to go.
- Ah!

So you want to just go like that?

See what you have done to me.

Let’s just…

a quickie. Let’s do a quickie. Hmm?

Do a quick quicky.

- Sir, no.
- Wait now. Wait. Ah!

Wait, wait.

Sir no. I really have to go.
Thank you for the provisions.

Who is that?

Who is there?

Who is there?

Please.

Oh God!

Oh, God!

You know it’s almost two o’clock?

Don’t be angry.

I couldn’t sleep.

Why can’t you sleep?

All the recent
killings happening in town.

It’s just not adding up.

I can’t just believe that there’s a wild
animal out there killing people randomly.

There just doesn’t seem to be any motive.

So what if
it’s not a wild animal?

You know,

that was how one old man from that school

said he knows
what is killing these people.

He said it was a resurrected teacher that
an indigene or something raped and killed.

Rubbish.

So you don’t believe the old man, right?

You are joking, right?

You know,

there are some things
that when they tell you about it,

if you do not see it
with your own eyes, you will not believe.

If I tell you all the things
I’ve seen in this my work.

Suzy,

I know that there are things
that can’t be explained.

But spirits? Ghosts?

Killing like this?

Come on.

There’s a certain
deliberateness to these killings.

Hmm.

I was born here in Malomo.

And I was nine
years old when it happened.

I remember then as children,

when we misbehaved outside
and my mother would shout,

“Don't let me catch you misbehaving,

“or the lady with the shoe
will get you. Behave yourselves.”

So the gist that time was that,

she lost one of her shoes.

So everywhere she goes, that second shoe
makes the sound koi, koi, koi.

Because it’s a court shoe.

I even remember the times when she cut
people’s neck and disfigured their faces.

Such that even people that knew them
before won’t recognize them again.

So let me tell you.

What that old man told you,

about the resurrected
lady killing people. It’s true.

Are you listening? It’s true.

Look,

I know you paid for overnight,
but I am very sleepy right now.

And I know you’ll to want to do
one more round before daybreak. Eh?

So when you’re ready, turn off
the light and join me. I’ll be waiting.

Are you ready?

- Mmm.
- Wow, you look rough. Are you okay?

I will be.

That’s what you’ve been saying,
but you look worse than the last time.

Mandy, is everything okay?

What’s this on your hand?

I don’t know.

Maybe I scratched myself
when I was sleeping.

Are you sure you will not go
and see the nurse?

To get something
for your lack of sleep, at least.

Maybe I will.
Let’s just get through today.

I want an easy day with no surprises.

Mm.

- Ah!
- Ah!

Mother Superior wants to see you.

But we’ll be late for class.

Now!

He’s so creepy.

I swear.

So much for an easy day with no surprises.

The person…
The person is in this school.

- The person is in this school.
- What?

Where's your partner?

I haven’t seen him since yesterday.

I left him here in school.

After I left the station yesterday,

I went to my father’s former apprentice.

And he told me I have
the smell of that person on me.

I knew it couldn’t be
anywhere else, since I stay alone.

Baba.

I know you believe this your theory about

a dead person
coming to life to haunt people.

Let’s just say this scenario is plausible.

Why would it be killing people in
different parts of town? Young and old.

Like I said, it came to seek vengeance.

At first, nobody believed me
but after several deaths.

I am not going to stand here
and watch it happen again.

Especially when the person
involved is innocent of any crime.

You know…

All the attacks have been forming a spiral
with the school at the center of it.

Almost like as if the killer is…

Almost like as
if the killer is heading this way.

This person you were talking about…

She is the person that came in
right at the time this thing started.

Come, let me show you.

I have been informed
that you no longer attend practice.

- Last time I went...
- I do not want to hear it.

But the last time she went...

This conversation
has nothing to do with you,

so be quiet.

I believe that I made myself
abundantly clear the last time.

I believe that we had an understanding.

Do you know
how important this competition is?

And you want to ruin my…

Our chance of winning it?

Ma, I went.

But the boys tried to assault me.

Baba was the one that came to rescue me.

I know they can be a bit
rough around the edges,

but that’s just how they play.

And you must realize,

that up until this point,
it has been a boys group only.

It will take some time
for them to adjust to having a girl.

Ma, that is not what
I meant and you know it.

You will go back to practice

and you will help
them win this competition.

Or so help me God,

I will make you regret ever being born.

Are we clear?

Are we clear?

- Yes ma.
- Yes ma.

Now get out!

No one understands
the pressures of being in this position.

No one.

What was that all about?

I don’t know.

But she has been really weird
about this whole practice thing,

and I know it’s those boys
that put her up to it.

So what are you going to do?

I don’t know.

But I don't want her problems.

Dealing with the boys is one thing.
What happened there this morning was...

Amanda!

Good morning sir.

Good morning.

This is Inspector Theophilus.
You need to come with us, quickly.

Why?

Because the safety of everybody
in this school depends on it.

I wish he was exaggerating but he is not.

I'm sorry
but I’m not going anywhere with you.

We have classes to attend.

I know you have strange dreams.

I know something chasing after you,
trying to attack you.

How did you know that?

The same way I know that
if you do not come with us now,

the dreams will
quickly turn into a reality.

You are seriously not considering this.

What if he heard you
when you were telling me the other day?

Where are we going?

We're going to see your mother
about who your father is.

- I have to go. I’ll be back soon.
- No.

- Let’s go, let’s go.
- Amanda…

Let’s go.

Amanda!

We think that is your father.

He disappeared after the banishment
and he is the only one I couldn’t find.

But no matter what happens in there,

your mother should not
make this any difficult for us.

Okay?

Let’s go.

Yes, I’m coming.

Amanda?

What are you doing here?
You are not on break.

Are you okay?

We’re not on break but these men
want to ask you a few questions.

Are you al…?

- Good morning ma.
- Good morning sir.

I am Inspector Theophilus Achebe.

This is Baba Wole.
He works at your daughter’s school.

Greetings, sir.

Greetings.

We’ll like to ask
a few questions about Amanda’s father.

Um,

Actually Inspector, I have to get to work.

And honestly,
I don’t want to talk about it.

You don't have to talk about it.

We just want you
to confirm if this is him.

Yes, but…

Where’d… How did you know?

We're investigating a land dispute
between his family and a group of others.

The land belongs
to his family traditionally.

But um, while we were
investigating him it led us to you.

I hear you Inspector, um…

But how did you know
that he is Amanda’s father?

We are not at liberty
to disclose that information.

I…

I was…

I was angry at him because he…

He lied to me that he was
going to be with me forever.

I actually met him at a bar,

whilst I was hanging
out with my girlfriends.

What’s up?

I’ll have what she’s having.

Thank you.

A beautiful woman such
as yourself should never be by herself.

By myself? I’m not by myself.

I am here with my friend.

Really?

I can't see any friend of yours
because I have eyes for you alone.

And it seems my heart beats for only you.

Your beauty is so radiant.
I cant seem to help myself.

Your mouth is too sweet.

Please tell, what is your name?

- Omolewa.
- Omolewa?

That explains it.

Sile is the name.

Would you like another drink?

- I’m fine.
- Are you sure?

Your beauty is so captivating.

I didn't think much of him at first.

I noticed his missing finger
but I didn't think much of it.

Besides, he was persistent and charming.

Before you know it,
one thing led to another.

Repeatedly.

Eventually,

I wasn’t sure what to expect.

I hoped against hope.
But I was disappointed.

Listen Omolewa,

Let’s not stretch this. You’re going
to find something to do about it.

You’re getting rid of it.

Sile?

What do you mean get rid of it?

What do you think I mean?

I won’t get rid of it.

Can you not hear me?

Look here.

- I cannot marry you.
- Ah-ah!

Yes. I already have a fiancée.

Don’t be like this.

- Like what?
- Don’t be like this.

Are you deaf?

- I said go and get rid of the pregnancy.
- I won’t get rid of any pregnancy.

I won’t.

- You will do it.
- I won’t.

- You won’t, right?
- I won’t.

- I’ll show you.
- What will…

- You will get rid of it.
- I will not.

- Okay.
- Sile.

Sile, let’s talk about it. Come on.

But I couldn’t. And eventually…

He wanted nothing
to do with me afterwards.

I tried.

I actually tried but,

essentially, I was alone.

Why didn't you tell me?

Of course I was going to tell you.

I was going to.

But I was angry at him for abandoning us.

For abandoning you.

You should have told me.

And I’ve been so difficult.

No, no. You weren’t. You’re not difficult.

You're the only thing
that made all of this worth it.

Madam.

Do you have any idea where he is now?

No, the last time I heard of him,
he was in an accident and…

That was the last thing I heard.

Does he have any other children?

None that I know of.

Thank you so much, ma'am.
You have been of immense help.

Um, sorry.

What has this got to do with Amanda?
What is going on? Please.

Is my daughter in danger?

No, Nothing at all.

As I said earlier,
it’s just an investigation.

But I can assure you
that there’s nothing to worry about.

Is this true?

Are you sure?

Yes, mom.

Are you sure you're okay?
You can talk to me.

I’m fine. I’m fine, mom.

Okay, I have to go to work. Um…

Do you need me to drop you at school?

No, we’ll take her back to school.

Oh no, I can drop you.

I’ll go with them. It’s fine.

- Are you comfortable?
- It’s fine.

Okay. Take care.

- Thank you.
- Thank you very much.

You’ve been immensely helpful.

- Thank you.
- Sorry, dear.

Be safe, okay?

So what’s next?

Where to now?

Somewhere we can find
protection and help for her.

Where is that?

Let’s go.

Come on in.

Hmm.

Come in, come in. Mmm.

You sit here.

Greetings.

Who is he?

He’s a police officer.

A police officer?

And this young lady?

She is the one we were talking about.

Ah, ah, ah!

Okay, give me your hand.

The deities
of people who enter into covenants

The one who gave a revelation to Orunmila
when he was coming from heaven to earth.

He said the crowd puller
pulls at the crowd.

Ooh!

The issue is far
more serious than we assumed.

This is terrible.

Ah!

Something must be done quickly.

Firstly, we must
quickly get rid of the danger

hovering and lurking around this girl.

Or else it will be disastrous.

But if we act quickly
and ward of the danger surrounding her,

then we will have the opportunity
to deliver her from the real evil ahead.

Will he have to cut off my finger?

She is asking
if you are going to cut her finger off.

Her finger?

Tell her.
All we need is a tiny bit of her blood.

But… It’s going to hurt.

No, he won’t cut your finger.

He will just take small blood.
But it will sting a bit.

You know, a little sting.

Are you telling her?

Is that what you are saying?

Alright. I’ll be back. Um…

I hail you Apetowo, I hail you Apetese,

The homage Agbe paid that made him king,

Aluko also paid homage and became king.

Lekeleke paid homage and became honorable.

An honorable one among witches

The same homage has brought me
here my ancestral mothers,

owners of the night.

You are ajigini,
you are aringinigini woja.

A dangerous fire to be avoided.

Reveal the mysteries of this world to me.
A young girl has been brought to me.

There is a mark
on her hand. Show me what to do.

Reveal to me the meaning behind the mark.

Reveal!

Blood! Eh, blood!

Alright.

I am grateful to you, my ancestors.

Thank you. As you have
said I should do it, so will I do it.

Ancestors.

This is the calabash. This is the knife.
The Leaves are in the calabash.

You have shown me what should be done

so that it will turn
out like it's supposed to.

Don’t let me down. Approve of this remedy.

Thank you, my ancestors.

The owners of heaven, I thank you.

You are the first to wake up,

you are aringini,
you are aringinigini woja.

Oh you my mothers..

Greetings!

They have asked me to do it,
like it should be done.

So that it may turn
out like it is supposed to.

Look…

- Stand up. Stand upright.
- Stand up.

Your hand. Give me your hand.

Ha, ha..

I’m not done. Hold on.

It’s okay.

It will be fine.

Eh!

Now we have come to the moment of truth.

We have to go through this whole process,

whatever we apply
on her body to ward off evil. Mm?

Give me your hand.

The back. The back of your hand!

The back of your hand. The back.

Mm-hmm.

What we have done now,

will enable me keep
the evil spirit and danger at bay

and trap them here.

Once I have trapped her here,
the fortification will keep her protected.

But this fortification is only temporary,

but it will ensure
that when the evil spirit

does return, it will not come her way.

That's the best I can do for now.

Fajimi, thank you.

Don’t thank me yet.

I still have a lot to do
for the gods to grant us favor.

Mm? Uh-huh!

Come on, time to leave.

One more thing.

Be vigilant.

- You have to watch over this girl.
- Understood. Understood.

What a pity.

An innocent little girl,
with a heavy cross to bear. Ah!

- Do not forget.
- Lets go

Watch over her.

- Let’s us go.
- Hmm.

Thank you, my ancestors. Thank you.

Baba.

I’m going to head back to
the station and check if Oscar is there.

I’ll probably head home
before I come back here.

Let’s see if today was worth while or if

this thing you claim
will actually show up.

I’ll be waiting.

Today feels so unreal.

Like an out of body experience.

But then I look at my hand
and I know that it’s real.

Will I be okay?

Fine.

I won’t lie to you, I don’t know.

But we will do our best to protect you.

What happened? Where have you been?

It’s a long story.

I promise I’ll tell you all about it,
I just need to catch my breath.

Mother Superior has been here
to look for you like

three times and she’s pissed.

- Oh no, the practice!
- Yes.

And she said she’s going to come back but,
I just wanted to give you a heads… up.

What is pi to the 12th degree?

Ah.

Have they ever asked that question?

Yes. They asked it six years ago.
But it was to the 6th degree.

So why are you
stressing us all the way to 12?

Because we must be better than the rest.

- Ugh.
- Always stay plenty steps ahead.

- Good evening ma.
- Good evening ma.

Hi, Amanda.

- Good evening.
- You can sit.

We already started. You can join us.

Sorry about that.

I just asked them pi to
the 12th degree. I’m sure you know it.

Of course she does.

She’s smart.

Spell and define Mitochondrion.

M - I - T - O…

C - H - O - N…

D - R - I - O - N.

Mitochondrion. The powerhouse of cells.

Correct.

Lashe.

Differentiate between Fusion and Fission.

Okay.

Fission occurs when
a neutron slams into a larger atom,

forcing it to excite
and spilt into two smaller atoms,

releasing energy,
which is often radioactive in nature.

- Mm.
- Correct.

- It has not finished. Go on.
- While

fusion is when two atoms slam together

to form a heavier atom releasing energy,

the energy released is larger than fission
but not radioactive in nature.

Okay.

- Since you’re so smart,
- Yeah.

I have another one for you.

So what are the similarities
between Fusion and Fission.

- I just said it now.
- No, that one is the difference.

Uh, children… um,

I'm sorry. I know I promised to stay.

However, I have to leave
and I do not know how long this will take.

But carry on. Well done. Very well done.

Carry on with the practice
as you well know.

Okay.

And remember that
the competition is in just a few days.

Carry on.

Fine, thank you ma.

Yeah, so like I said.

She’s gone.

Well?

Where is he?

I don’t know.

This is exactly where I left him.

Well leave it alone
for now. He must have left.

Right now we have more pressing issues.

We have to find a way to get rid
of that body before anybody else sees it.

Especially those police people.

Okay.

I have worked too hard…

too hard to let anybody take
this school away from me.

Now, on with it.

On with it.

Get on with it.

Who is going to save you now? Mm?

You had a big mouth.

Oh God.

You foul spirit!

You do not belong here!

The power of Christ compels you.

Be gone!

Be gone!

Ige.

Ige.

Ige!

Please. Please don’t do this.
They are innocent.

He saved my life once.

And she does not have
to pay for her father’s actions.

Please.

If it’s me you
really want, you’ll let her go.

No!

Rosemary, please.

I know you’re still in there.

And I know you can here me.

Please Rosemary, she shouldn’t pay
for the sins of her father.

Please.

Rosemary, please.

Don’t let the vengeful spirit win, please.

I know you can still hear me, please.

What more do you want?
She has sacrificed herself so let her be.

After all these years,

thank you for standing up for me again.

When I told her what happened,

all those years back,

she made me think no one would believe me.

It was like she took my voice away.

Like, what’s the point?

But today called
for it and I’m glad it worked.

I am glad to hear you again.

Do you think
Amanda will be okay.

The inspector said she has
been stabilized and she will survive.

So what’s going to happen to her?

I don’t know.

I think the church will replace her.

I believe they don’t want
a scandal like this. Not at this time.

The school was her all.

It meant everything to her.

Everything she fought for,
none of it matters now.

She worked so hard
to hold on to the school.

And she lost everything.

Well, excuse me.

How is she doing?

She’s putting up well.

I know she’ll be fine.

Thank God you came back.

Good thing she left her bag.
Please make sure you give it to her.

I will.

Sorry about your friend.

He seemed like a good person.

It’s what I’m going to tell
his family that I’m struggling with.

What happens now?

Is this it?

Is it going to come back?

I’m not sure. I don’t know.

Its job here is finished
and it didn’t kill her.

Are you sure about that?

As sure as I can be about a
supernatural without being one.

So, no.

No, no. I doubt it.

Well,

I am glad we have people
like you to help if it does come back.

I just pray it’s not in my lifetime.

Nor mine.

Can I take the bag now?

See you around, Baba.

Officer, get those people
out of here. Get them out.

- How are you?
- I’m fine.

Are you serious? How did you feel?

I just came to thank you, old friend.

Thank me for what? Did it work?

No, the evil spirit almost killed us.

So why are you thanking me?

You know, anyone who
has a close shave with death

is always going to be grateful.

You know the ritual
and sacrifice I performed

was ineffective against the evil spirit.

It could have killed you all.

But here we are.

We’re alive.

What you did may have
contributed to what saved us.

Hmm.

Alright. I’ve heard you.

But come, let’s reason together.

Do you think this evil spirit will return?

Of course it will return.

Where? Here?!

No.

With everything you told me

and everything
that happened to that young girl,

it's clear that the spirit will return.
Not here in this town, but it will.

It still resides on this plane.
It cannot leave. It is still here.

You know as well as anybody knows
that this world is strange and mysterious.

Yes.

And whoever sows good will reap good,
whoever sows evil will reap evil.

But if it is done
with Amanda and Malomo,

- what is it still doing here?
- Ah!

It has to come back.

It is still a spirit of revenge
and now wants revenge from all evil doers.

It has to stay back
and fulfill that mission of vengeance.

May God continue to watch over us.

May it be so.

May God continue
to protect and deliver us.

- May it be so.
- Ah!

Come here.

Why didn’t I see you yesterday?

Senior Thomas gave me
punishment so I could not come.

Okay, but I want to see
you tonight, without fail.

- But I have have homework.
- Without fail!

Okay.

That’s my boy.

Senior Joy,
please I don’t want to do it again.

Shut up
and take down your shorts.

As if you’re not enjoying it.

See how you are crying like a baby.
