Chain (2016) - full transcript

A dark, psychological horror following a man's journey home through a series of corridors. With each step his familiar surroundings begin to twist and morph; from something cold and unwelcoming into a dangerous and life threatening labyrinth. As the corridors close in around him, the man desperately struggles to get to the safety of his apartment. Nothing, however, is more disturbing than what waits for him beyond the door.

What about men?

Well it has no effect for men because,

It's primary purpose is to flush the meter.

But I would assume that it was tested,

For vile function of error.

And whoever has done it should
take a lot of water immediately.

Ok.

I did,

I did everything for you.

I sacrificed, I sacrificed everything
Everything for you.

What didn't I do?



To satisfy you.

Is it a crime,

To love you?

What are you talking about?

Don't you dare,

Lie to me.
Don't.

Tamara it's just.

Why?

Why?

Did you do it?

I didn't do anything.

Listen.

Babe just calm down and
listen to me.

I didn't do anything.



Alright...

We can get through this together ok
Just stay calm and listen to me.

Ok.

Now this is your last warning.

I wanted her dead, I don't care
I don't, I don't.

I don't know how you're going to
do it but I want her dead.

Or else, I will destroy you.

Don't, don't.
Just don't.

Now make your pick.

Who goes first?

Tamara please just stop this.

Stop this.

Please just.

You're not doing this Tamara.

I made my choice.

Tamara, Tamara Tamara stop.

Hey baby,
I'm home where are you.

Yeah I'm still downstairs.

What is the surprise that you can't
wait to get home to tell me?

Babe when are you?

Tamara...

You look good.

What are you doing here?

I asked you what are you doing here!!!

Do I need to answer that.

Just answer the damn question.

Do you know that this is my home?

And my wife is back in the country
permanently, do you know that?!

Awwn awwn...

That's so sweet.

What does that have to do with me?

I thought you have this figured out.

Tamara

Don't you dare touch me.

You think you can just walk in here
after a month without calling me.

And expect things to be the same.

What do you take me for?

A dummy?

Tamara do you realize that this is
my matrimonial home.

And my wife will be back any time.

Cheers.

How did you even get in here?

The baby...

I'm coming.

Baby?

What the fuck The fuck.

Pick up your call Andrea,
Pick up your call.

Pick up your call.

Andrea pick up your call.

Pick up your.

She is busy.

Now you listen to me.

Your games are over, am back.

And what I want you to do
is to go in there,

Pack your bags and leave my house.

I'm married.

Don't you get it!
I am married.

Baby,

This is our home.

And I love you.

I love my wife.

You know,

I can clear up a lie scene.

Cheating.

But,

I can't put off with the fact that you
are denying me your affection.

You said you love me.

I do not love you.

And technically speaking,
am cheating with you.

On my wife.

This...

Is our home, Our family home.

You and your family, so just leave.

Go.

Now you choose.

We both stay here,

Or we leave together.

Don't mess with me.

I always win.

If you try to prove smart,

You know umm...

Two, three.

Ten steps ahead.

Remember our sex thing,

Pictures.

Videos.

I'm sure Andrea would recognise
the "D" that you sent.

Hmmm.

Nice perfume Mr Castle.

Uncle Tomide.

Oh...

That was great.

It was awesome.

I've always wanted this from
the moment I saw you.

Really?

Then that makes it two of us.

Come here.

I've always want to visit you.

Yeah.

Where is Andrea?

What?

Andrea your wife.

Right?

How did you know about my wife?

Heyy.

I know everything about you.

From the moment I saw your
proposal for the bid.

I have always kept tabs on you.

But don't worry am with a baby.

She won't bother us.

Delm!

Hayy...

Mummy is back...

Hii Booboo.

Hey baby.

Yeah come in.

Hello Mr Castle.

Hello.

It's nice to finally meet you.

The pleasure is all mine
Thank you.

Have a seat.

Thank you.

So umm..

What can I do for you Miss Ibru?

Well umm...

Like you read in our mail.

Our firm will like to discuss
your distribution rates.

We seem to like your proposal but
we have to reach a compromise.

Your rates are way too high.

Well, Miss Ibru.

I don't think I can wave anything
to sign the proposal you know.

That's not how it works in my line
of business.

It's a bold decision.

I mean being CEO puts me
just above the staff.

And not above the board so whatever
that changes has to be made.

Has to reach the cresent of the board.

Mr Castle.

The board is you, yourself and you.
You don't have to fake it.

But,

There is a way I can award
you the contract.

If you get to win the contract.

Your company will be signed
to solid distributor products,

To every part of the
country for eight years.

And the fun part you get
access to an ascentives,

Our promos, and
you are free to invest.

Hmm,

So well,

How much of a cut do you worth?

Fourthy percent.
Fourty what!

That's insane you're not serious right.

It is fair actually.

If I were you,

I would gladly accept the offer seems
you are getting every piece of the action.

There is that.

Goodluck.

Can I take you for lunch?

I'll buy you dinner.

Baby...

Baby come here...

I missed you.

How was your trip?

Well...

For the most part mission
accomplished.

It's just that I have to keep checking
up to make sure that everything is ok.

I thought you were suppose
to pick me up from the airport.

I know right...

But it got too hectic at work today we
had this stubborn customer and then

Forex trading issues, book-keeping and
before you know it the day was gone.

Babe that has always been
your excuse every single time.

Babe I haven't seen you in
a month can we just not do this.

Ok I missed you and I love you.

Missed you too.

In the main time am hungry.

I can't thank God enough for
Tamara she's amazing.

Have you had something
to eat I'm starving.

Tumide I work.

And it does get tough.

How do you expect me
to manage taking care of myself,

Taking care of the baby, taking care
of you and still work at the same time.

Haba now...

It's not fair, do you want to kill me?

I'm not blaming you.

Then what exactly are you driving at?

What am trying to say is that you should
have let me know before allowing her to

to come and stay in the house.

What if she were some
imposter lying to you.

She isn't.

I mean you're the one who keeps on talking
about this your cousin that you miss.

The cousin that left when
you guys were in school,

And now you want me to drive her away.

I didn't say so.

Why did you keep it away from me?

It was meant to be a surprise
what is the point if I told you first.

Besides ok, ok.

Tomide.

Didn't you and I agreed that we should
get a baby sitter before you travelled.

And then she shows up.

Listen to me it's about safety
this country thinks I've changed.

You don't just allow somebody
to come into your house,

and staying there without vetting them for.

Oh spare me the sermon Tomide she's
your cousin or are you denying her.

Just ahhh Abeg I'm tired.

I'm tired abeg.

Babe.

Let's not argue ok.

It's alright.

I didn't mean to stress you out.

Umm babe.

Babe go and shower.

Babe I would shower with you all day.

No now babe.

Look, see you know
you just came from a trip.

Babe I will shower later.
Babe I will shower later.

You are wasting time

I'd come out right now.

Pappy is here.

Sorry who am I talking to?

So you think am just going

had a lot of cover up to do at works.

You don't talk to me like that.

Now you listen to me bitch, you
don't tell me how to talk to you.

And be warned if anything
ever happens to my baby,

I will hunt you down and I will kill you.

Is this a threat?

Hmm you're such a big bold tiger.

Why did you call me?

My love I just called
to check up on you.

You know that's one of
the qualities of a good wife.

Fact of correction,

You are not my wife and
you will never ever be my wife.

Hmm we shall see.
Have a good day Mr Castle.

Two days.

Or I'll have to do it myself.

Nina

This documents have been
on your desk for weeks now.

You didn't think it was
important for me to let me know.

Bring it to my attention...

I'm sorry sir.

Sorry for what?
What! ehnn...

Important meetings,

Updates.

You allowed me to miss all of them.

See the airline.

Record companies

Why am I paying you?

To sit behind your
desk and watch television.

I'm sorry sir.

Sorry for yours...

Leave.

What is the meaning
of that text mesage?

Tamara just calm down
and listen to me ok.

I fucking want to know the meaning
of the text message you sent to me.

Get your filthy hands off me.

What do you want to say?

What can you say?

You want me to terminate
this pregnancy.

Your unborn child.

I feel like I don't even
know you anymore Tomide.

Where are you?

Can you just...

Don't you dare tell me that.

Ohh, you think you're not responsible.

Come on, why are you even
saying that, I didn't say that.

Listen to me I just want
you to give me a chance.

I'm tired of your lies Tomide.
I am tired of your lies.

You told me you were working on
your divorce papers with your lawyer.

And then Andrea appears
with your pregnancy.

Tell me.

Was it an artificial examination?

Or she tripped and fell on your penis.

Things have changed.

Yes I was seeing a divorce lawyer.

But then Andrea came back
into the country permanently.

She requested home transfer
back to Nigeria because of me.

What was I supposed to do?

Welcome her home
with our divorce papers.

Just reason with me,
understand me.

And the pregnancy?

So you kept shagging that bitch after
all the promises you made to me.

She is my wife.

We've been married for
six years now, six good years.

What do you want me to do?
Ignore her, stop talking to her.

She is a woman
like you she got needs.

You know I still got you.

You're sick.
You really need help.

Wow

But Tomi,

Why didn't you talk to me about
this, why didn't you say something.

You would've spoken to me.

We would've sorted this out together.

Bobby.

What do I do?

Do you have any plan?
Anything?

I'm not going to lie to you brother I am
stocked this one is really complicated.

The baby.

Just terminate the baby.

What?

The pregnancy!

That.

She lost the baby.

I mean she was involved
in a accident and she...

She lost the baby.

That's why!

That's why she is mad at you.

You see because your
wife had a safe delivery.

And she lost a baby
that's why she is mad at you.

Here.

Thanks dear.

When was the last time
you did something like this.

Ahh me?

It's been ages.

I can't even remember the
last time I was in the kitchen,

on a saturday like this
cooking like never happened.

Hmm hmm.

I couldn't get a diaper supply.

What!

Dham it.

That means I will have to go
to the grocery store later in the day.

See this is why you
end up having trust issues.

I've paid this guy six month
worth of diaper supply in advance.

Why?

Why would you do that?

Me I like cash and carry oo.

Is it not Tomide.

It's the same thing for me but Tomide,

Your uncle insist we pay in advance
so we dion't run out of diapers.

Come on, you know it's not his
fault he just dosen't like you stressed.

That man really loves you.

Oh yes he does.

Sorry what?

I feel like I've been cheating him.

You have been cheating on him.

What?!

No...

No I would never do that no

It's just...

This is a clear case of obsession
that girl is losing her mind and if you

do not work with time she will kill you.

Kill your wife, kill your child
and turn around and kill herself.

Bobby what do I do?

You tell Andrea everything.

Everything.

Brother you are in deep soup right
now and the next thing and the next

thing you should do is
to report her to the police.

And if God still touch your mind
you get that girl medical help.

A phychiatric or a therapist or something
because that's what she needs.

Because everything can go worse
in the twinkle of an eye brother.

I feel,

Like I've been a little.

It's just,

I feel like I've not been fair to him.

I know he loves me but

Ok.

Tamara please tell me what to do.

I love Tomide but I feel like
I've been selfish in the marriage.

But it's not my fault.

What do you mean?

Why is that?

I mean I don't...

I can't satisfy him.

I mean in bed.

Like seriously?

Can I be honest?

Yes please.

I'm circumcised.

So when we are doing it I feel
nothing like absolutely nothing.

I hear sex is supposed to be fun.

But,

My parents decided to cut my sex drive
before I even had the chance to have one.

We only have sex on saturday's.

And even at that I will wind
there and pray to God for it to end.

You know just cum
and let get it done with.

I understand.

Does he know about this?

No.

If I told him he would
stop asking for it but am his wife.

Isn't it my responsibility to please him.

But I can't.

I mean, God knows I really
want to but I've tried.

It's ok.

I know it's not your fault.

I think you should talk to him.

He really loves you.

Yeah.

Tomide is a great guy.

Even though I think
he cheated on me recently.

How?

Well,

I was still pregnant and you know
me now, I never entered the kitchen.

But on this particular day I came and,

I found a drug in one of
the cabinet guess what...

It was abortion drug.

When I asked Tomide about it
do you know what he told me.

He said it was for rat and cockroaches.

Was it that good?

Come.

No baby.
Here baby drink.

It's late I have to go now.

Babe come on I made you a drink.

Ok one sip and that will be all.

Not one sip it's just one shot so.

You know am not sleeping here.

Babe why?

Come on.

No more hide and seek.

One sip.

Just take the shot.

Long, long sip just.

Come on.

Last one.

No baby no.

Ok come on just
take a little bit of it just.

Noo.

Come on...

Tamara.

Tamara.

Tamara.
Tamara!

Where did you go?

I'm sorry I...

I was lost in my thoughts.

Is everything ok?

Yeah.

Please excuse me.

Ok.

Yeah Dr Shiza.

Are you saying it is possible,

To

Terminate a pregnancy,

without a possible release of blood.

Yes it is but the reason we do not
recommend it for patients anymore,

Is because of it's high cost.

And complications that might
arrive from the procedure.

An higher percentage ends up with
complications which is from womb damage,

miscarriage and
possible cancer growth.

What?

That is why it was banned.

The drug flushes the foetus and
stores the blood till mensturation

cycle comes around
again before it eject it.

But before that, it may tamper
with other internal organs.

What about men?

Well it has no effect for men because,

It's primary purpose is to flush the meter.

But I would assume that it wasn't
tested for vile function of error.

And who ever has done it should
take a lot of water immediately.

Ok.

Thank you.

Babe sorry could you please
help me keep this thing...

Ok.

Tamara I'll be right back ok.

Yeah let me open.

Thank you babe.
Yeah.

Alright dear see you later.

Alright baby.

Bye bye baby.

Tamara.

You ruined my life.

You killed my baby.

You damaged my womb.

I did,

I did everything for you.

I sacrificed,

I sacrificed everything,

Everything for you.

What didn't I do,

To satisfy you.

You and me.

Is it a crime,

To love you.

What are you talking about?

Don't!

Don't you dare lie to me.

Don't.

Tamara it's just...

Why?

Why?

Did you do it?

I didn't do anything.

Listen,

Babe just calm down and listen
to me I didn't do anything.

Alright.

We can get through this together
ok just stay calm and listen to me.

Ok

Now this is your last warning.

Ok.

I want her dead.
I don't care, I don't.

I don't know how you are going
to do it but I want her dead.

Or else I will destroy you and
everything that belongs to you.

Hello.

Oh babe.

Tamara.

Tamara please.

Don't do this.

Ok.

We can talk about this.

Please.

Just put the gun down.

Listen Tamara.

On your kneels.

Get down!

Ok.

Please don't do anything crazy please.

Now,

Tell her all you promised me.

There is only one happiness in this life.

To love and be loved.

Love is a fire.

The way it's going to warm your heart and
burn down your house you can never tell.

Does love truly fail.

Is love really blind.

It's true that being deeply loved
with someone gives you strength.

While loving someone
deeply gives you courage.

But what does love truly mean.

Where does it live.

To love at all is to be vulnerable.

We accept the love we think we deserve.

And we waste time
looking for the perfect lover.

Instead of creating the perfect love.

I love you without knowing
how or when, or from where.

I love you simply without
problems or pride.

I love you in this way because we
do not know any other way of loving.

But this in which there is no eye or you.

So intimate that your hand
upon my chest is my end.

So intimate that when
you sleep my eyes closed.

Love cannot save you from your own fate.

Women are meant to be
loved not to be understood.

Love is the madness sent from
heaven to worry the hell out of us.
