Original subtitles

I didn’t come to fight, where’s Amanda?

Why are you asking me?

Because it was you guys who planned to kidnap her.

We didn’t plan anything guy.

We only said it as a joke.

Why would guys joke with such?

What’s wrong with you guys?

Where is she?

See, I don’t know

I don’t know.

And if she’s missing, then

that isn’t my business.

If she is missing?

Do you know her father came to the neighbourhood with the police?

If you know anything, this is the best time to say it.

And I’m telling you

I don’t know where she is.

I haven’t even left this house since.

But Teekay...

Are you...

are you going to give the police my location?

I maybe mad at you,

but I’m not a snitch.

Guy.

[Emeka swallows hard]

I’m sorry for everything.

That is bad.

Extorting students is a crime.

It was not a crime,

it was a business venture.

A quid pro quo.

Do you understand?

Kali, I don’t understand.

The only thing I understand here is that

you have been fired.

Who have been fired?

Boma, I’ve not been fired.

Suspension!

Two big difference.

Well,

you cannot understand,

you are not a scholar like me.

Huh!

Scholastica.

Look, my dad is in the army

and he’s going to kill both of you.

You better leave me alone.

Even me, my dad is a president.

Baba, do not worry about me too much,

I’ll always find my way around.

-Is it not me? -Okay.

Do not worry, it’s king Kali.

If you say so.

Is that not the new girl?

Who is the new girl?

You now have a girlfriend?

Heys!

Leave that girl alone now!

Who goes there?

It is we that goes there.

Ah!

It’s boss kali.

I hail.

Sixtus.

Rozay.

What are you doing with my younger sister?

Brotherly!

I didn’t know she’s your younger sister.

So even if she’s his younger sister or not,

you don’t go around harassing people’s children.

It is wrong.

Okay, no problem.

We’ve heard,

Don’t be angry.

Sixtus.

Red Rozay.

Let’s go.

Okay.

Hope you’re okay?

I’m fine.

You’re the new girl right?

Yes.

What are you doing around this neighborhood?

I...

I wanted to see Teekay then...

my bag got stolen and then I got lost.

Sorry, it’s okay.

It’s okay.

Okay you know what, come, follow me let’s go.

Boma come.

It’s okay.

Sorry stop crying.

You’re safe now okay.

Excuse me Sir.

Yes.

I’m sorry for everything that is going on right now.

It’s all right,

it’s not your fault.

I just feel responsible.

I feel like I should have looked after her better.

Because this place is a bad influence for young girls like us.

I get it.

And sir,

when all these is done and we’ve found Amanda,

I would advice you never ever to bring her to a place like this.

Never, ever.

Because this place is really terrible.

They kill people here.

Okay.

Thank you.

Yes sir.

Thank you.

Babe we are wasting time here,

we need to go to the police.

Teekay! -Hey.

Young man, where is she?

I...

I haven’t seen her Sir.

Where is my daughter?

I don’t know where she is.

You have to be very careful.

Very, very careful. You understand?

There she is!

Teekay!

You’re okay.

I was so scared.

It’s okay.

You’re safe.

I...

I would have called you but my phone got stolen.

That’s fine.

You are safe now.

Beauty of young love.

I think it’s more like erm,

forbidden young love.

You’re safe now.

Young lady!

You know, you’re in a sh*t load of trouble right?

Get in the car.

Get in the car right now!

ThankGod.

Well done Sir.

Yeah how can I-

Sir, actually erm...

we were the ones that saved her from

catastrophic danger sir.

Exactly sir.

Right.

And you are?

I... am Kalistus Akpolla

I teach in her school Sir.

And I’m Boma Wike,

I’m his best friend.

In fact, we saw the thugs when they were harassing her.

So we swung into action and uh-

We didn’t even think about our lives

we said if it’s die let us die.

Yes.

What is there to live for?

When we’ll fail humanity.

Wow, that’s really impressive.

Thank you sir.

But if there’s anything I can do to show my appreciation,

please, do let me know.

Alright?

Actually there is sir.

Okay, let’s hear it.

A job sir - Yes sir.

A job?

Yes sir.

I thought you said you teach at Prince?

Yes sir.

Actually I do sir.

But sir the thing is that...

Sir there’s a little misunderstanding.

-Okay? -Sir!

I want you to help me speak with the principal.

Just put in some few nice words for me Sir.

That’s all Sir.

Alright.

Done.

Thank you sir.

Sir, including I.

I rescued her too.

Oh, you need a job too?

Yes sir.

Sir in fact, I can do any kind of job.

Be it driving, cleaning,

security- -No, it’s fine.

It’s okay.

It’s alright, uhm...

how about you give me...

just give me a call.

-All right? -Okay sir.

Thank you sir.

We’ll call you sir. -Alright.

Please sir take it easy on her,

you know kids these days.

Thank you. - Thank you sir.

Thank you sir.

King Kali my man.

Mr. Ayodeji.

What’s up?

Simi.

Alright, back to school immediately.

Won’t you say hi to me?

I’m your colleague-

Small suspension and they are looking down on me

They’ll call you back.

-I shall be back. -With his help.

I shall be back.

Let’s go.

Mom, I’m sorry.

Dad, I’m sorry.

I’m apologizing, I’m sorry.

Mom! dad! please say something,

I’m sorry.

I promise I’ll never disobey you again,

please just talk to me.

Amanda it is pretentious

to make promises you do not intend to keep.

Mom I promise, I’ll keep it this time.

I promise I won’t disobey you.

please I promise, just trust me.

Amanda.

Trust you?

Trust you?

Do you have an idea of the kind of hell

that you put your mother and I through?

You disappoint me over and over again.

You do not deserve any trust that you do not earn.

Amanda you are grounded for as long you are under my roof.

No phone and T.V privileges.

My phone got stolen.

No more monthly allowance.

You need anything, you ask me or your mother.

No shopping, no gifts.

You are to stay in your room and only come out when you are asked to.

You will not step out of this house until you return to your school.

Hey!

Where are you going to?

I'm going out on a stroll.

To where?

Around the neighborhood, I just want to clear my head.

Or I cannot do that again?

[Perpetual chuckles]

And why are you laughing?

You want to go around thinking about Amanda.

Loverboy.

It’s like there is something wrong with you.

Leave me.

Don't you ever,

ever raise your hands at any woman!

Even your sister.

Then she should learn to mind her business.

Let me not use this my two ears

to hear that you raised your hands

at any woman at all.

If not,

the mortar and pestle that I used to pound yam for your father

is the mortar and pestle I’ll use to pound you!

My friend will you come back here!

Get back inside the house.

And you!

Learn when and when not to speak.

Every time you keep talking.

Sorry ma.

Sorry for yourself.

Go inside the house and soak beans

that we’ll use to prepare moi-moi.

In fact,

tell ThankGod to do it.

Thank you ma.

Since he's less busy.

Amanda dinner is ready.

Mom, I'm not hungry.

You didn't have lunch.

I know, but I said I’m not hungry.

Are you rejecting food?

Mom, I’m not rejecting food.

But I'm just not hungry right now.

Hold on,

you're turning down food because you got punished.

Amanda, you did a very terrible thing.

You hurt your father and I.

You put us through unimaginable pain,

and for some reason

you think the right statement to make is starvation?

You know what?

Don't eat.

We're not going to beg you.

What rubbish!

ThankGod.

You can deceive the whole world,

but you can never deceive your mother.

I know you're pretending to be asleep.

You've been playing this trick since you were four years old.

Aren't you too old for it?

Get up, we need to talk.

Oh!

I was trying to sleep oh.

You can sleep later.

How are you feeling?

I'm fine.

Stop lying, I know you are not fine.

Then why did you ask me?

Because I expected you to tell me the truth.

Mommy, I would rather be alone right now.

Just by myself.

You are sad because of that girl, isn't it?

At this point, I think it’s best we...

have the talk.

You know boy, girl...

relationship. -What!

No!

Mommy, no please.

No!

Can we not? Please!

Please what?

You've started liking girls.

We have to talk about it so that- -Mommy.

Mommy!

I do not need the talk.

Come on.

Everybody needs the talk.

Boy, girl.

It’s very important to have the talk.

Everything...

everything you want to say

I've been taught in biology class.

Okay?

Everything.

And I got an A biology.

Really? -Yeah.

So you've been taught about

teenage pregnancy?

STD's...

Protection...

Mommy jeez!

[Teekay stuttering]

Yes!

I mean yes.

Yes!

I know everything.

But did they teach you about heartbreak?

And who...

[Teekay stuttering]

Who said I'm heart broken?

Look at you.

Look at your face.

You look like an owl in the night.

All sad, mopey and googly.

It’s because of that girl, isn’t it?

Because her parents said you can't be friends with her.

And I totally agree with them.

Mommy.

Can we just-

Can we not.

-Please. -See,

let me tell you something my son.

When you are older and man enough,

and you have finished your education.

The right girl will come.

Okay.

Uh okay.

Mommy.

Thank you.

I have heard everything you-

I've heard.

Are you chasing me away?

What?

No!

I...

I can’t do that.

No.

You know, it's just that everything you've said,

you know, is so much and I need to

I need to digest everything.

I need to take it all in.

You know, I need to think about it,

You know.

You know you’ve said so much and I need to just...

[Sniffles]

Really?

Yeah.

That's very good.

Very good.

Let me allow you sleep.

Goodnight my son.

Yeah.

-Love you. -Love you.

Hah! God.

Teenage pregnancy?

Huh!

Baby.

Uh good-

Good evening uh-

Good morning mom.

It’s 3am in the morning.

I thought it was an intruder.

Good morning mom.

Just go ahead and eat your food, we’ll talk in the morning.

Mom.

I’m really sorry, I didn’t want to reject food but

I actually didn’t have the appetite at that moment.

And I was so scared,

I thought I’ll never see you and dad again.

There were thugs and-

Did they touch you?

No.

But I thought that-

It’s okay.

You’re safe now, okay?

Do you want to talk to someone?

A therapist maybe?

No, I’m going to be fine mom.

If you ever need to talk, I’m right here, okay.

Pep.

Peppy.

Perpetual.

What?

You didn’t hear me calling you?

How can I help you?

What’s wrong with this one?

What’s wrong with you?

Because I don’t want you to slap me.

Be there forming anger.

Yes, when somebody cannot play with you.

Alright sorry.

You know I won’t beat you.

I’m not a monster.

You’re forgiven.

But you too, you talk too much.

Learn how to limit your talk, if not I will twist that mouth for you.

I take back my forgiveness.

Who cares?

You care, lover boy.

What!

What did you say?

Mommy!

Leave me alone, mommy!

And my mom put me in the car.

I’m basically grounded till forever.

Be so f@*#g for real.

Girl I ain’t playing.

Girl,

you really got caught in 4k.

So sorry baby girl.

But look...

I really wish you had all that drama recorded.

I will kill to watch that.

You get right?

It would have really slapped.

-I know. -So hard.

And look...

if I had to face four monsters in one day,

trust me, I would die.

Literally end myself.

I second that sis.

You must be really traumatized sis.

Girls, as if that’s not enough,

they’re not replacing my phone.

Okay.

Okay stop!

I mean...

you’ve been through enough trauma already.

But no phone?

That tops it.

This can never ever be me!

I mean, why do your parents have to be so mean?

Classic bloomers.

I mean my parent would never think of trying that.

And even if they did,

you know me now,

I will definitely unleash hell.

I trust you sis. I trust you.

Maybe she should do something.

You know like...

like when you slashed their tyres.

like when you slashed their tyres.

That!

-Something like that. -That!

I mean, it was a little bit unhinged,

but it was so cool.

Yeah.

You should do that, maybe...

[Chiza and Kayla laughing]

[Amanda] I know right.

But guys...

I can’t really do that anymore.

Whatever, it’s fine girl.

You know what?

Just wear your L with finesse.

Exactly sis.

-Come on, chill. -Yeah come on, don’t worry.

[Clears throat]

Babe,

I don't think Amanda should be friends with those girls anymore.

Hello to you too babe.

Hey babe.

They are a bad influence on her.

I agree.

So you agree with me that they should stop being friends?

I guess.

All right, I'll go talk to her.

No.

But you just said you agree with me.

I do but babe you can’t just yank her friends away from her.

So how do you suggest we do this?

Gradually.

We just grounded her.

No phone, no Allowance, babe

We can't take her friends at the same time.

That's because you did not hear the conversation they were having babe.

Were you eavesdropping on them?

No.

No.

I just went there to knock on the door and talk to her.

Babe.

If you want to do this your own way,

that's fine by me.

But you have to do it quick.

King Kali my man.

Bomalistical.

The king himself.

I was actually coming to your house.

-Really. -Yes.

I was coming to meet you as well.

I'm ready.

But why are you dressed like this?

You’re wearing coat inside this heat,

do you want to kill yourself?

Kali it's a job interview that we’re going for,

I need to dress my best.

Boma.

That small job interview?

You want to kill yourself with heat before you even get the job.

See Kali,

if you’re here to insult me just tell me,

let me find my way to the school myself.

It’s okay.

Small thing gets you angry.

Do you have anger issues?

Someone cannot play with you again.

No, not such an expensive play.

It’s alright.

Alright let’s go.

But you look like a vulture inside this suit.

Take your time.

Be careful.

Mind yourself.

Let me tell you something Mr. Kalistus.

There is no smoke without fire.

You are right sir.

If not for Mr. Henshaw...

I understand sir.

My friend, would you allow me speak!

Sorry Sir.

If I get any more complains from any student or teacher

about you,

then you are done for.

Yes sir.

It's not about yes sir.

See you’re a young teacher,

and you must live an exemplary life that this school holds.

So if I get any more complains

that you are not taking your classes serious,

then your next words might be, it is over.

Sir!

Sir, please don’t let me say it.

Sir.

Sir I promise to be of best behavior.

Sir I...

I promise I will attend all my classes sir.

It seems you can force the horse to the waters

but you can never make it drink it.

Sir.

This water,

sir I will drink it.

Sir

Sir you don’t need to force me, I’m there already sir.

I will drink it sir.

Sir I apologize.

Sir I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, I'll correct my wrongs sir and...

I really appreciate the fact that you...

You reconsidered me sir.

Okay.

No problem.

You can now go.

But...

call me the other man.

Okay sir, thank you sir.

God bless sir.

You're welcome.

Good morning, sir.

Are you the other man?

Yes sir.

My name is Boma.

Boma wike, sir.

Okay, so what can we do for you?

Job sir.

Sir in fact, I can do any kind of job.

I see.

So do we look like we are hawking jobs here?

I’m sorry sir.

The number you’ve dialed is not reachable at the moment,

please try again later.

Look,

he looks so sad.

He wouldn’t speak to me earlier.

Are you not the reason he is sad?

It’s because of you that why he’s sad.

-Nengi. -What?

Sometimes I wonder if your brain goes on vacation.

What’s wrong with you?

But is the truth.

Who asked you?

Why is this stupid girl still our friend?

I don't know.

You insist we keep her.

But anyway, I think you should go talk to him.

Did you hear what I said?

I said I spoke to him earlier and he didn’t answer me.

Then try again.

Amara keep your stupid advise to yourself.

This one is not stupid.

This is your chance to make Teekay fall for you.

All you have to do is just be a good friend to him,

and support him.

So what if it backfires?

Like the last time you asked me to write a letter.

That wasn’t me, it was all Nengi’s advice.

My advice?

Okay, if you had given him directly,

it would have worked.

You didn’t give him directly that’s why.

-See Simi... -Very stupid.

this one is different.

Be a good friend, be supportive and-

Pretend you have another boyfriend.

Yes.

It works like magic in K-Dramas.

When you pretend you have another boyfriend,

he gets jealous and he’ll want you back.

As I was saying before the cockroach interrupted.

See,

you just have to be supportive to Teekay,

and eventually he will fall for you

now that Amanda finally is gone.

Let’s go get something.

Okay.

We're here.

Have a good day and stay out of trouble.

Thanks Dad.

Amanda.

I think you should make your friends.

Okay dad, bye.

I mean it.

Chiza and Kayla are not good friends.

Okay.

I also mean make female friends,

not boys.

I get it dad.

Be a loner, noted.

I did not say be a loner.

Then what do want from me Dad?

What do you want from me?

You just took me away from Prince,

away from all my new friends.

And now you want to deprive me of the

only friends that I have in this school.

Exactly my point, Amanda.

Make new ones,

kind ones, and well raised ones.

Dad I just made one,

and you literally just banned me from ever talking to him.

The reason why I said you should focus on making

female friends only.

Dad!

Teekay is smart,

he's kind and he’s clearly for a good home.

And he is also a boy with raging hormones.

Amanda boys like him

know how to do one thing and one thing only.

Boys like him?

Dad!

You clearly have a problem.

But not with Teekay,

with me.

Dad you think so lowly of me.

And I don't blame you.

I blame myself for breaking your trust.

I have to go.

Oh my God, I’m so so sorry.

You know, you need to watch where you’re going to next time.

I said I’m sorry.

Sorry can't replace my phone.

But it didn't even break.

There is a scratch.

And that's why I said sorry.

You know I’m not even gonna do this with you because

I don’t want to- -What exactly

do you want me to do, I already told you sorry.
