- Finally, beauty awakens.
- What the hell?

Just stop there.

What gave you the impression,



that you could walk into
my house and touch my things.

Isn't it obvious, I just
wanted to do something nice for you.

Hmm. Let me do some
thing nice for you. Leave.

- Bono, have I done...?
- Get out.

Hey,

go and drop that
where you carried it from.

What?

So

Third man in five…

days.

Hmm, not a record year,

- but you're getting there.
- Not funny.

Hmm.

I think… I
need to start making note

of the type of men as well.

That come because, this last one
definitely gets extra points.

- Ah, hm, for buffness.
- Can you just let me be.

Kore, like let me be.

- But see, I just want to know,
- Hmm.

What are the side
benefits of man helping you?

- Huh?
- For somebody that has it down to a tee,

you are not coming
forth with masterclasses.

- I want to learn, please.
- Kore?

- Hmm?
- Let me be.

- Ah!
- But seriously,

why do you feel the need to
have sex with them and toss them out?

Even the ones that like you.

Big deal. You're stressing me out,

- leave me alone.
- Especially

- the ones that like you.
- Kore, you're… I just woke up.

- I just woke up. I'm tired. Yes.
- Hmm.

We all just woke up. We heard.

Please are we expecting…

- anybody today? Sorry.
- Please, leave me alone.

My team and I have
definitely covered all the loop holes

that you might face going
down the social media route

but I must buffer, in the US alone,

influencers account
for over 30 billion dollars

of income for brands
who have chosen to go down this route.

If you look at the
spreadsheet that I've in front of you,

you will see that
you can reach your niche market

in the first 48 hours
of the app launching.

There are three main risks
that we face going down this route.

Firstly, putting all
your eggs in one basket.

Namely using me as a brand.

However, my one basket, supplies
brand options and lifestyle options

to over five million other brands.

Your futuristic idea of
digital payment plan is instantly met with

three million other
marketers at the price of one.

And in turn, this three million,
feed an extra 200 baskets.

Come on, even if we're being conservative,

the laws of geometric
progression will cover the rest.

And in my opinion,
you will be reaching your

niche market asap, wouldn't you say that?

Um, how does this
become more than just a clickbait?

Remember, they have to use the app
for at least two consecutive months.

Guys, come on.

In the spirit of intellectual
property law, I cannot divulge all

that information when
we haven't even signed anything.

In fact, the ink doesn't have to dry

But in the meantime, ladies and gentlemen,

if you will allow me,
I would like to introduce you guys,

the new Bonofide clan.

Well, thank you very much, Bono, for
your passionate and very well-detailed…

- uh, presentation…
- Thank you.

I'd like to say also
your team has done greatly well too.

Um, at this point, I will like
my partner here to give his feedback.

- I approve.
- Fantastic. So when do we start?

Well, I should think we are pretty
much closer to 70% on signing on paper.

So we will need to wait and get feedback

from our silent partner,
and major investor.

Um, oh, who is that?

He prefers to remain anonymous.

That is fine. No problem.

So, would you at least
let me know when we would start?

- Sure, definitely.
- Cool.

Bono! Bono?

That was good, you are good.

Thank you,
and thank you for your time.

So was that what last time was all about?

Excuse me?

I just need help
understanding why you did what you did.

Let me get something straight.

Did you think that last
night was a nod for this morning?

Did my proposal look like
it needed any bed-related approval?

Wow, slow down.

I just needed help understanding
why you did what you did this morning.

It's simple. We met, we talked,
I wanted you, I had you. Period.

So, it doesn't matter if
I like you? Does it?

Look, I already told you.
I don't do long-term.

And I'm 100% sure I made it clear.

Look, you could tell me
the real reason, say, over dinner.

Look, I refuse to believe it's just
a sex thing. That's just a man's move.

Not in my world.

In my world, men don't
have the prerogative to initiate.

I hope you've been schooled today.

And I think I've said too much. Frankly.

- Good day members of the press.
- Good day, Miss Bono.

And everyone else gathered here today.

My name is Bono Siaba Kuku and I am
the head of the TruMoney Bonofide clan.

This is a family of people
who are very diverse. Yet, very connected.

And what connects us?

A singular vision.

A vision to grow funds while
spending as conservatively as possible.

- Hello ma, how do you…
- I'll… I'll take questions later, please.

Thank you.

In the TruMoney Bonofide clan,

the members get to
benefit from the eternal knowledge,

the experience and
the basic skillset of the members.

We spend within our app.

And everything that you're
looking for is within the app.

Wow.

And we sponsor this
through our accounts, of course

by using the TruMoney app.

Yes, which makes it fast, safe, and easy.

You know, while avoiding the usual
bottlenecks that come with work. Yes.

Ladies and gentlemen, as we speak,

the TruMoney Bonofide clan
are downloading this app.

- Right now?
- Yes. And our goal is to reach 5 million.

Five million?
That's not possible.

I'll take questions later.

Thank you, thank you so much.

Thank you.

Uh, Captain Lagi, please come in.

- Hello ma'am.
- Sit down.

Thank you.

Um, sorry for pulling
you out like that Captain.

Captain T has just
taken ill and this last minute

booking is by one of
our more important new customers.

So why didn't we just cancel?

This one, is one
we want to make a regular.

Alright.

That's fine, anything for you.

Thank you. And, sorry for
the short notice, we owe you.

You sure do.

Just don't forget,
I take dollars.

Anyways, I will look into
the details on the flight deck.

And just in case there are
any update, just let me know.

- Thank you.
- Alright.

Thank you.

- Aww.
- Oh my God.

Beautiful…

strong ladies. So,
it's a win for me. It's a win for us all.

- Hello ladies.
- Hi, Captain.

Bono?

- Hey you.
- Hey.

How long have you been standing there?

Frankly, I don't remember.

What's wrong?

Nothing. I'm just…
dealing with my own stuff.

Stuff enough to lead you to tears.

I'm not crying.

Then you really need to
invest in waterproof mascara

because this is certainly tell-tale.

Tell me now. Please.

Kore, I saw him.

Who?

Him. Lagi.

Wait.

Your vampire university boyfriend?

- Hmm.
- That Lagi?

- Hm-mm.
- Where?

He was the pilot of
the plane that brought me back

- from the conference.
- Wait, wait, wait.

He was the what, now?

The pilot.

Ooh.

Will you look at that? Karma is a bitch.

So,

he is now working for you?
I hope you left him a big tip.

Hmm.

How bad was your relationship with
this Bono lady that she's so mad at you?

Bad.

How bad?

Intoh, just let this one pass.

But really, how bad?
I'm just asking. I want to know.

Oh, because I am a lady, yeah.

And I have an opinion that
both of you have not considered.

So tell me. Tell me, tell me.

- Lagi treated me like trash.
- I know.

No, you don't understand.

- I know.
- That boy dealt with me.

- So... Sorry.
- He…

Sorry dear.

He messed with the core of my being.

There was one time
I saw her talking to this guy…

that I knew was interested in her.

I was so mad.

I walked up to her and…

dragged her by the hair
and pulled her all the way home.

And then I beat her.

And that wasn't enough, I…

I slit my wrist and
make her drink my blood.

What? You did what?

I made her swear to me, never to lie.

And then I locked her up in the room…

for two whole days.

Without food or water.

Nobody could stop me.

No one…

could stop me. Nobody.

- Nobody!
- Guy?

Just take it easy.

Ah.

- Sorry.
- Kore…

Kore, I'm so angry. I'm... I fe...
I still feel so angry inside.

- I can imagine.
- And,

I thought that I was
over him. I thought that I was done.

And then seeing him just
meters away from me. Hey.

But I thought that he was abroad.

I… I thought so too. I guess he is back,

and he is alive.

Give me your hands.
Give me your hands.

Lagi, you know everybody
was very scared of you back then.

Ah, no, no human
could stop you, like just to…

Eric, it's enough, please.
We've had enough for one day.

Intoh, I'm sorry I scared
you. I'm no longer that person.

This was… in the past
before I gave my life to Christ.

We didn't even believe you when you
said you had given your life to Christ.

Up till now, some people don't believe
that you've given your life to Christ.

They say it is like selling
a unicorn to an Igbo trader.

- You know how it is.
- Seriously?

No, but… you know now.

Yeah.

It's a bitter lesson for me.

In hindsight, I just…

exploited a totally innocent girl.

You're certainly not expecting
this same girl to take you back. Are you?

Hm, because, hm.

In my expert opinion
nothing is going to make me

take your Dracula
sorry ass back. Like nothing.

Why are you laughing?

- You were there? You knew?
- He is my… man.

He's your… he's your man. Okay.

- It's well.
- But I have to try.

I have to do everything
within my power to get her back.

She's my soulmate.

- Hmm.
- Now, I know.

What's that smell?

And you are here
busy talking about Dracula ass?

This woman, eh?

- Wow dad, that was amazing.
- Really?

Yes. You singing with
the youth choir? Awesome.

I really think we should start
thinking about another album in the works.

Hey son,
I will like to leave that

to the incredible
Nathaniel Bassey and Sinach.

Ah but, when Lord lays it upon my heart,
I will get back to the studio again.

- Okay.
- No, but your Pop is not yet done son.

- Pop? Really?
- Mm-hm.

Okay.

You want to know what
the real source of my joy is?

Sure dad, I'd like to know.

It is in your decision to be finally
more active in the service of the Lord.

And one of the things that would help you
settle down, focus on this, is marriage.

Dad,

- please not... not this.
- What about, what about Lami,

in the choir? She is
a very grounded young lady.

And both of you are friends.

I think you should
consider asking her out.

Yeah.

Why now?

- Hey!

Wonders shall never end. Kore,

you need to tell me how
you got this one to get out.

Come on. I'm not that bad.

Speak for yourself. That's how
you missed my other launch party.

Hmm, see, don't even
get me started on the amount

of things she's
missed out in her own life.

- No way.
- Mm-hmm.

Bono? Bono?

- Guys.
- Are you okay?

- I'm… one hundred.
- Excuse her,

she is fine, it's just work related

- Yeah.
- Pressure.

Okay. I mean, that is why
we have this all-white party.

- Okay, to get loose. I know you need it.
- Yes now.

- Ah, don't worry. Party.
- See you guys later.

See you. Any chance to parry, drink,

- and dance.
- Kore?

I do exceedingly and abundantly well.

Bono now, what is this? Try.

I'm fine. Come on, listen to the music.

Hello Bons.

I know the last person
you want to talk to right now is me.

I had to find a way to get
your number from your reservation details.

It was really nice
seeing you the other day.

It's easy to see that
you're doing very well for yourself

and, I am truly happy for you. Bono… look,

I'm sorry. I really am.

I didn't need seven years to
realize that I must have been the worst.

Leaving you cold turkey back then,

I didn't know any better.

It truly was not planned. I….

Please we need to talk.

Even if it is… just to find closure.

I would like to hear what you have
to say and I sure have a lot to tell you.

Please, let's have dinner or something.

I promise, I won't take much of your time.

I got you this.

Thank you.

They smell and look lovely.

Getting cocky, are we?

Oh no, uh,
quite on the contrary. I'm just uh…

grateful that you finally
agreed to meet with me.

I told myself there was
no harm in hearing you out.

I didn't think a day would
come I would see you act half-human.

Ouch.
But I guess I deserve that.

Bono… I'm just happy
that I get a chance to explain myself.

Bono, I've missed you.

Lagi, I didn't come here to have

a conversation to go
down any emotional route.

Yeah, I guess I should be, ah…

Good evening ma, good evening,
sir. So, what would I get for you today?

Uh, we're not ready yet. We'll…
send a signal to you when we're ready.

Sure sir. Sure.

Seven years Lagi.

That is how long it's been since you

walked out of my life,
and didn't look back.

Bons…

look…

- Let me explain.
- I don't care for your explanation.

I want to know what happened to you.

What changed you?

What changed the "great"

Lagi Gowon?

I want to know.

I died, Bons.

I was told I died for four minutes.

I was poisoned while having drinks with

people I considered to be my friends.

, I'll spare you the details
but, I was haemorrhaging real fast and

spilled from losing consciousness to

not being able to
breathe for four whole minutes.

That's when people
rushed me to a hospital.

After four minutes

I just started to
breathe again. I just came back.

I was deeply affected by it.

And so I just became reclusive,

I stayed away from my social circles.

And that is when my
dad seized the opportunity

to intervene in my
frankly hair-brained lifestyle.

Yeah, and he…
whisked me down to Australia.

To the Hill song
International Leadership College.

What? Those Jesus fanatics?

Aren't they the sloppy folks that release,

Christian songs every year?

Bono.

Jesus fanatics? You use to love them.

Um, Lagi,

you cured me of that rubbish. Remember?

No, wait, something doesn't even add up.

How did your father send you

to Hill song?
I thought you guys were very was poor?

Yeah, that isn't entirely true.

Why am I not surprised?

My dad is the founding
pastor of Trinity Place.

Bishop Lincoln Gowon is your father?

- Yeah.
- Lagi?!

Do I... Who are you? Do I even know you?

Did I ever know who you were?

Bons, I was rebelling against my family.

And now let's just say I'm at home.

With… with church, with my family.

With God.

And the scary part is
I'll soon be ordained a pastor.

Pastor Lagi.

I know right?

So weird.

But you know what?

- I'm excited about it.
- Hmm.

I'm going to be in charge of the youth.

Just like you use to
work with community kids.

Um, that was a long time ago Lagi.

That is no longer my life, look at me.

- Really?
- Yeah.

So what's your life about now, Bons?

Hope you enjoy and do come back.

I will. Thank you.

- You're welcome. Bye.
- Bye.

Oh, my feet are killing me
and it's only been half a day.

- So sorry my love.
- Thank you.

But at least you have work and, um,

people are coming, you have customers.

That should be good.
Please, what is this tea?

- Tea beans. Chocolate orange.
- So,

so good. It's so yummy. You need
to bring some home when you're coming.

Hmm. So,

dinner with recycled trash?

I know you. I know something
is on your chest. Just let it out.

Bono, why?

I honestly don't know what
you are talking about. I'm actually lost.

Lagi.

See, I'm offended
that you have a revenge plan

and I'm not
your star character in this plot.

What revenge plan?

Kore, I don't have a revenge plan.

We are just two people
who were hurt from our past

and we are just trying to
find our way back to the light.

- Hmm.
- Yeah.

- Bono?
- Hmm.

I know you say the darker the berry,
the sweeter the juice.

- Mm-hmm.
- Hmm. But this guy, is

berry berry bad news.

Kore, I love you.

- If I have not told you, I love you.
- Bad news.

But honestly, there's nothing.

For me, it is the demon that I know,
over the angel that I don't.

Especially when this demon is
on his way to becoming an angel.

- You see, it's a win-win.
- Hmm.

I agree.

With the demon part.

- Hey
- Bono?

- Hey.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- What are you doing here?

Well, I was finishing a meeting nearby

and I decided to just check
out the new Trinity Place

and of course, it's new pastor.

Well, well, well. You didn't
tell me it was this big. I love it.

- Hi!
- It's uh… the first

fully air-conditioned 3000
capacity auditorium in Nigeria.

And um…

Um, Lagi, if I didn't know better,

I'd say that you are
nervous about my being here.

Bono, not… Not really.
I'm glad you are here.

- It's just uh…
- What?

Do I put a stain on
your impeccable reputation?

Bono, let's not do
this here. Okay? Please.

Hm. You know what?

Better still, let's not
even do this at all.

I'm sorry I came Lagi.

Stop, Bono.

Bono, can you…

Bono. Bono.

Come on, please.

That's not what this is about.

- Let me explain.
- Hmm.

Hello, young lady.

Dad..

- Uh, this is my friend. Bono
- Not for long.

Anyway, you must come visit us on Sunday.

Okay.

When Lagi, would be
too busy to disturb you.

Okay sir. I would give that a thought.

- Thank you.
- Thank you too.

Saved by your dad, nevertheless.

Mum, really?

- Are we snooping around now?

Is that how you talk to your mother now?

Mum, if there was
anything you wanted to know,

you should have asked me
and I would have told you.

I may have to revise
this idea of giving you a key.

I saw what you wrote about, Lagi.

And I'm worried.

What's going on?

Mum,

I don't know what you're talking about.

I'm fine. Really, I am.

And Lagi and I are fine too.

Come sit.

Mummy look, I've had
a long day and I'd rather just rest.

- I'm tired.
- Please, sit.

Bono.

You have been through a lot.

And I'm proud of how you…

overcame everything,
after all he put you through.

I also saw my little girl

change and the sacrifices
you made to get here.

I would only wish

- you could come back to church.
- Mum, no. Please.

- Please, no.
- I know.

I know.

I'm just a mother
that loves and cares for her daughter.

And would give
everything to see her happy.

- This newfound connect with Lagi.
- Mm.

You're putting in… You're
putting in so much energy into this.

And I hope you know what you are doing.

Bono Siaba?

You're too young

to have your heart
broken again by the same man.

Picking it up won't be to your advantage.

There are no shortcuts…

to matters of the heart.

No short, cuts.

I could've suggested

two or three other
places where this meeting could have held.

Why? You don't like this place?

It just could've held
anywhere else. It's for your own safety.

Or you mean more about your reputation?

Well, there is that too.

I mean, I have
an ordination in a few days,

and I, I can't
be caught in a place like this.

You know that?

You know what? My apologies, pastor Lagi.

It is my fault for thinking
I could invite my "boyfriend"

for a meeting with a client that is
known for zigging when he should zag.

- Hey, hey. Hey.
- No, no. It's fine.

I'm dealing with too much
already and I don't need this.

- Can you just calm down?
- Wrong words.

Hey! I'm, I'm sorry, Bons,
okay, I'm being… I'm being selfish.

You should order something.

- No, no. I'm uh… I'm good.
- Stop. Waiter!

Please come.

Whoa, whoa whoa whoa!!

Rough night huh?

Huh?

What are you doing here.

You called last night, remember?

Something about needing to talk.

But it was late, so I couldn't come.

And I decided to come
this morning. Have some.

Thanks.

How did you get in?

Hmm.

Ah, this is so good.

Ah.

Hi.

Hello. Um, sorry,
I thought this was Lagi's place.

Yeah, it's his place. Please come in.

Oh, I left some eggs on the stove

and you know men and burnt food don't mix.

You know what? I just remembered
that I have a meeting to get to.

Can you let him know that Bono came over?

Okay then. Are you sure
that you don't want to come in?

- Mm-mm
- Alright.

This Anita and King, eh,
like, I'm tired of them, two of them.

So annoying.

So annoying. I'm really,
I'm really I'm tired. I'm tired.

I'm already... It's even
you that's still watching

- because these people are making me angry.
- I love the show.

Anita actually makes me happy.

Hmm, you'll watch it all by
yourself because I'm tired. I'm… ah.

Do your work now.

- You are going next.
- It's fine.

Hey.

Come in.

- Hey. Bono, ah, can we talk?
- Hm.

It's only right that you start
calling me before you come here.

Because I'm really
not up for seeing you today.

Bons.

You know what's funny?

I came over to yours earlier on today.

Yeah. To apologize for
getting you mixed up in all that.

But what did I meet?

Your lovely egg-frying girlfriend.

Um… um,
I want to go and fry some eggs.

Anyone wants some?

No? Okay.

Take that as a no.

Excuse me.

Hey.

Hey, she is just a friend.

Okay, nothing more.

Look, Lagi. I'm not that girl.

No, no. I'm really not
the kind of girl to be looking

over her shoulder just because of a man.

I'd rather just move on.

It's not that deep for me.

Hey…

listen Bons, she is just a friend.

- Okay?
- Yeah, whatever.

Yes?

Hey, listen, I…

I can't seem to remember
what happened at the club.

Yeah, I've been trying to
put the details together but…

I don't remember.

Well, you… you had quite a lot to drink.

And I know that
you didn't want to get wasted.

And I… I tried to stop you.

So, I'm actually sorry
for getting you mixed up in that.

No, no. It's…

It's okay. It's not your fault.

So, we're cool now?

We're cool.

Okay, good. So what can I offer you?

Well since you're asking,

- I…
- Ah, I don't know, give it your best shot.

I don't… I don't, I don't know.
What, what do you want to have?

- E...
- Eggs.

Yes, Kore, eggs.

What?

Orange juice?

Well, after the kind of
night that you had, I understand.

But listen,

Thank you for not
making a big deal out of this morning.

I know it… meant
a lot to you. So, thank you.

What's the matter?

Look,

Lagi, I'm not that
soft girl that you use to date.

And I can't even pretend to be her.

I've worked so hard,
and fought so hard to be where I am today.

And I need you to believe that this…

this thing we're doing
is not easy for me. At all.

I know, baby. I do.

And, against my better judgment…

I don't even know how to say this.

I…

I think I've fallen
hopelessly in love with you.

And, it's okay if
you don't feel the same way.

I do. I do. I really do.

- Really?
- Yes.

Listen,

you don't know how this makes me feel. I…

I'm really happy.

No, I'm… I'm excited.

Yeah.

Um… Oh wow.

It's late. I… I, I need to go
for the… I have ordination to...

♪ Need a little closure
Closure from the last one ♪

♪ I ain't tryna play you baby
It's more than that ♪

♪ I'm looking for a good vibration
Trying to celebrate but ♪

Ain't no celebrations ♪

- Hey, guys.
- Hi!

It's an ordination oh.
Not Nigeria's next top model.

What a morning to
come late? What happened?

I've had quite the morning,

but, gist you about
it later. How do I look?

- My man.
- You look good, darling.

Please go and give it to them.

You're late. Go inside.
Go inside and give them

- Pepper them.
- My man.

Pastor in the making.

Good morning, Bishop.

Bless you.

- Sir, I think we have a problem.
- Please be seated.

We live in
a world full of troubles

but be of good cheer,
God has overcome the world.

Sir, I think you need to see this.

What is the meaning of this?

Lagi, tell me how.
How your picture appears in a lounge

with two women and
dressed up in this indecent manner.

And your only excuse
is you cannot remember?

Lagi? Come on.

You need to give us something here.

We can only defend
you if you tell us the whole truth.

Ah, forget it.

He cannot remember.
I have nothing to say to him right now.

- Dad…
- Please,

leave.

Right now.

- Pastor.
- Bishop.

Please prepare the other
pastor for the ordination.

Bishop,

we have journalists in the foyer.

The picture has
leaked out in the social media.

And there are all kind of speculations.

Hmm.

- Cancel the ordination.
- Yes, Bishop.

Please, leave me in peace.

Yes Bishop.

So we're back to drinking now?

How does it feel to be humiliated?

You see, Lagi,

for the longest time

I thought you were… untouchable.

Indestructible.

All powerful.

Lagi, you couldn't be stopped.

Even when you knew that
you were destroying me, Lagi.

You didn't stop.

You're a snake.

You know that, right?

You're a deceitful little snake.

And you know how all snake end up?

Crushed.

They all get crushed.

This is all your fault

and you'll be punished for this.

Look, Lagi, you don't honestly believe

that we are where we were seven years ago.

Where I was powerless
and I couldn't stop you.

And you'll be powerless to stop me now.

You can't blame me, for
demanding my, my pound of flesh.

My mother and Kore
had to literally stitch back

pieces of my life,

with a prayer and a wish.

I slept with… uncountable men.

Just trying to get someone
to make me feel alive again.

After your dehumanizing abuse.

And all you can come up with is threats.

No.

Nah.

Do you really think this is
the right way to resolve the past?

Hmm? Bons?

Did you for one second just stop,
to wonder why this happened to me?

Hmm.

Did it occur to you that maybe something...

Oh please, shut up Lagi!
And get off your high-horse.

Do you think that at this
time... point in time of my life,

I'm thinking about your stupid
upbringing and if you had any issues?

Eh, you found righteousness.
I'm happy for you.

But a few nights ago,
you didn't have anything to say

when you gave up
everything you held so dearly.

You tossed it all in my bed.

Does it sound familiar to you?

Does it sound like what you did to me?

Pastor Lagi?

Fake pastor.

I was rebelling!

Don't you get it?!

I was rebelling against… against God,

against my dad, against the church.

Against false religion.

What I thought was false religion

and what I was forced to grow up under.

- You were just caught in the crossfire.
- Oh, shut up!

Stop with the excuses!

You destroyed me!

You destroyed my ability
to love and trust any other man.

What don't you get?! What?!

And you're here
trying to play the victim?

To hell with you!

Wait, you want to leave now?
You want to leave?

You don't want some more? Are you sure?

Look Bons,

you deserve your pound of flesh.

Okay, and I'm not one to
run away from my own problems.

So go ahead…

give it your best short.

Did you ever love me?

Was… was any of this real?
Or… or was it a farce?

There goes that
stupid pride of yours again.

Did you think I could
just forgive you that easily?

No way Lagi. Hell no.

Heavenly father,

forgive me for lying to your stupid son.

Lagi,

You have not even started feeling anything

compared to what you put me through.

You cheap discarded excuse for a man.

So you think that you would just
come and act like you were born-again.

And I would just forgive you?

Lagi, all that is nonsense.

I don't believe in all that rubbish again.

You see that Bono, she is dead and gone.

This new one is born-again.

You killed her, Lagi.

You killed me.

A girl that did nothing but love you.

You kill me, and then you
think that karma would just leave you?

Hm, Lagi, karma is a bitch,

and she is wearing a skirt.

- Bono look...
- Don't you dare touch me!

Lagi, don't touch me.

Pastor Lagi,

the famous pastor Lagi.

Caught frolicking in bed with women.

This is just the beginning.

Look, Bono,

I'm sorry.

Hey I...

I don't know what came over me.

I'm ashamed of
everything that I did to you. I…

I… I never knew
that it wo... it would end up this way.

I, I didn't even know
what I was doing half the time.

I wish I could… I could take it all back.

But I can't.

Bono…

I regret it.

I'm sorry, Bons. I love you.

I love you more even now.

So that's all you could
come up with, taking me to lunch.

Please, please,
all these my friends looking for

free promo, you all are cheap please.

It's fine. I'll just tell my
PA to set up a meeting for you.

It's fine. Okay, bye!

We're great friends.

Why have you been
giving me weird looks all day?

So what next?

Now that your mafia vendetta is done.

Oh. That.

Well, I can proudly say
that I would tick closure off my list.

And now that I have my life back,

you know, just focused on my
Bonofide clan, making me some schmoneyy.

Is that what you call closure?

You destroyed somebody's life, Bono.

You cannot just move on and act

- like nothing happened.
- Hold on, point of correction!

I destroyed recycled trash.

Do you remember those words?

Because those were your exact words.

Kore, it was nothing.

He was nothing.

If anyone was destroyed here,

it was me.

Kore, you do you think
this is the life I want to live?

I wanted a normal life.

How can Lagi hurt me
and just walk away scot-free?

Come on. Come on.

Just maybe.

Just maybe,

you should be thanking him.

Because that experience made
you the success you are today.

Kore, if all this

comes with being destroyed by Lagi,

then God or who else is out there,

whoever is out there
should take it away from me.

Because Kore, I hate my life.

I hate it. I hate it so much!

I hate it!

Honey.

Yeah dear.

Did Lagi pick up
the last time you called him?

- Who? Lagi?
- Lagi. yes, Lagi.

Uh… nope.

- You're not worried about that?
- No, I mean… no.

I've told you not to worry. He's fine.

Lagi is fine.

Guys actually don't act like that.

He's probably…

you know, out of town,
flying people around.

And that's why
he is not picking the calls.

Don't worry, Lagi is fine.

Relax.

But, if he was flying people around,
his phone would not be ringing.

Please let's go and see him. Please.

- Wow, that's true. That's true.
- Please.

Okay.

- Since morning you've been calling him.
- Let's go and see him.

Something in my guts just
tells me something is not right.

Okay, we'll go.
At least let's prove you wrong.

I don't mind. Please.

I would've sent
a mail to the department,

you know, giving props
to the head as, for taking charge.

And then in the same email,
I would've thanked

the other workers for
doing what they did, you know?

I'm obviously still
massaging the ego of the head.

That way I don't make anybody
feel bad, everybody feels appreciated

and no one feels
like they didn't thank them.

Dodging office bullshit 101.

- Yeah.
- That's a good save.

Yeah, office politics
can be really hectic.

I know, tell me about it.

Look, enough of me.
I want to know more about you.

Really, what do you want to know?

I'll like to know what you think about me.

That is very Johnny Bravo-ish.

Ah, my favorite girl.
She knows her cartoons. I like that.

So, ah…

Thank you.

So what have I done to deserve this? Hm?

Don't be so grateful yet.
This is an inquisition master's dinner.

Why?

Intoh called.

They are worried about you.

I'm fine.

Yeah. They have no need to worry.

You have no need to worry. Okay?

I'm just recovering from a flu.

Wow.

Someone you know?

Excuse me.

You know you can get
that if you want to. It's not a problem.

No, no, no, no. Honestly,
it's just a very pesky someone,

it's nothing serious. Yeah, hmm.

- Right.
- So yeah, what were we saying?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Tunde, is so intelligent.

The man legit
looks like a dream.

So,

when should I schedule this
one into your little black book?

What?

You don't want two
one-night stands clashing now, do you?

Ha-ha.

Very funny.

Ah! Kore, this one,

he is different.

Like I'm not even
keen on inviting him over.

- Wow, wow, wow, wow.
- Yeah.

- Tha… That is the first.
- Yeah.

I must record this change.
Please what's that date?

See the thing is, he is such a gentleman.

Do you know he didn't
try to kiss me. I'm telling you.

He just walked me, you know, down.

Gave me a peck on my cheek.

Sniffed my neck. Told me I smelled decent.

And then he walked away. What a man.

Wow.

I'm not gonna cry. Please,

does he have a cousin twice removed?

- I'll ask.
- I'm not picky.

I'll ask. I'll ask, Kore dear.

I want…

I'm just kidding. But,

can you take it one step at a time?

Please.

I'll be careful. But he's a good guy.

I have nothing to be worried about.

- Sounds like it.
- Mm-hm.

- Smells like it too.
- I know, right?

Aww. So what's up?

Yeah.

I heard you requested some, time off.

I hope you feel better now.
We missed you around here.

Yes ma, I do.
As a matter of fact, that's why I'm here.

Hmm, okay.

Do you care to
share why you want to resign?

Ma'am, it's uh…
it's quite straightforward.

I don't think I can…

- give you my best anymore.
- Rubbish.

You're one of our best pilots.

Everyone goes through tough times.

Everyone.

I will not accept this resignation.

Go on vacation if you want.
And come back refreshed.

Consider that at least.

Okay?

Bons?

Really? Lagi.

So you think you can just

show up at my house
whenever you feel like?

You just cost that security
outfit their job for nothing.

Bons,

can I just talk to you?

Lagi? How else can I say it to you?

I don't feel like talking. Period.

- Okay, fine.
- Hm.

Can you find it
in your heart to forgive me?

Please, I love you.

Aww.

I don't love you. And I never have.

Lagi, please leave. Please get out.

- Come on.
- Lagi, leave.

- Bono, all I'm...
- Get out!

- Who was that?
- Who else will it be?

- Mm-hmm?
- Hmm.

- See, I'm tired.
- So you've finished packing?

Eh, mm-mm, I just like
traveling with empty luggages.

You know, that way I won't pay for extra.

So you're going…
You're going without me?

I'm done begging you.

See, and if Lagi has any sense himself,

he would be done begging you too.

- You, you don't have sense.
- Mm-hmm.

- Don't leave me now.
- Ah! Hm, watch me go.

- Don't leave me, don't leave me,
- I'm going.

- Don't leave me Kore
- I'm going. Eh! See?

I'll miss you.

Aww. I won't miss you.

How many times does she need

to humiliate you before you let her go?

- That's not nice.
- Thing is becoming embarrassing.

I'm telling you, I... Look,

I don't know how to
explain it, okay? I've tried to…

to get her out of my mind.

But I can't. It's like I'm stuck.

I don't even know how to describe it.

It's described as love Lagi.
But this one is toxic.

I mean, even if it's
meant to be, I feel like you need to

step back a bit and breathe.
You need to breathe.

Yeah.

Have you heard from your parents?

- No.
- Hm, they're worried oh.

- Bish called me again last night.
- Yeah, yes.

At least pick his calls.

I'll call him when
I'm ready, okay, I like…

I'm not just ready to speak to them yet.

- You need a distraction.
- He does, please.

You need a major distraction.
That's what you need.

Ah-ah, the world does
not revolve around one girl.

- What about the XO? Yeah,
- Yeah! XO.

Because I thought
you guys were hitting it on well.

Or are you now holding onto her religion

Religion thing isn't
a problem anymore, but,

I just can't shake her off.
I… I can't shake Bono off.

I don't know why.

Hey, you wanna know why?

Guilt.

Guilt of the past.

- That's what is disturbing you.
- Hello.

- You need to forgive yourself first.
- I'm tired of hearing about this.

When you forgive yourself
then you can move on.

Uh, please, can I have
lemon slices. Er, malta lemon slices

Yeah. And uh, tonic water for my man here.

- Babe.
- Hm?

- Tonic what?
- Tonic water.

That's… for, for me?

- Yes, tonic water. Please put ice.
- It's tonic…

Yes, tonic water.

I'll have, uh, gin on
the rocks. Pease, neat. Thank you.

When did you start drinking?

Guy, let me be.
Please, let me be.

- Pastor Lagi,
- Please.

Are you supposed to be drinking?

Given your profession and your confession.

My confession,
is that I'll be okay.

- Okay.
- Okay?

- You'll be okay.
- I got this. Yes.

I've told you to do something about this.

I did. I did. He's a stubborn goat. I did.

- Okay.
- Wait, You realize I'm sitting right here.

- Intoh, hold him now.
- I'm holding.

What are you saying?

Hold him, hold him, hold him.

- He, he's falling oh.
- Holy Spirit.

Whoo.

Don't march my leg. Ow. Ah.

Why don't you just injure me.

Put… put… put this away.

Wait, but wait. Remove his shoe first.

Take out his shoe. Put your leg inside.

Remove out his shoes now.

Please, I can't.
You can remove it if you have the time.

- Where is he running to?
- Oh. Pilot, you're not flying today.

Please come back.

Take off your friend's shoes.

- He is our friend.
- No, not today.

Ah-ah, did you forget? My guy.

You've forgotten "my guy"
when he was drinking.

So take care of
your guy and if I were you,

go and collect bucket.

Put water, put Dettol or put disinfectant

and just put it by his head's side.
Otherwise, you would mop vomit.

It's not like you
do anything in the house.

Bye. I love you, my love.

And please when you're coming back,

don't wake me up.

Eh, eh, not today. Not today.

Don't wake me up.

So who was that
blowing up your phone the other day?

Of course, you'd want to know.

Well he was just
an old fling. It's nothing really.

Tell me more.

Really?

Come on, it's… Let's just not
talk about that. I'm really not up for it.

It's okay. I mean, it's okay. I'm just…

I'm just worried for myself.

You know, I'm hoping that you won't

be having this conversation
with some other guy about me.

Wait.

Are you asking me out
in a roundabout kind of way?

Ah, this is the exact
problem with intelligent women.

Well?

You draw the line,

fill it up,

and then they
read it to themselves. By themselves.

Okay. So how's work?

Really?

So you're just going
to change the subject just like that?

- I...
- No, I'm just goi... I'll act like that's

- not what you did.
- Okay.

Work is good.

And um, to be honest,
just the usual kind of challenges

that comes with my
kind of work. You know, um,

my work is like… chess.

Mm-hmm?

If you want to win, you have to
be six steps ahead of the game.

- Uh… Well and…
- Yeah.

You care to expand? Tell me more.

I mean you can tell me more of this.

Wow.

Um, so I…

I'm about to end
my contract with TruMoney.

- Right?
- Yeah.

- TruMoney?
- Yeah.

What is that?

So, it is a mobile money app.

And my brand influence
for them was social media.

Okay.

So, technically I'm about to
sign with a very similar company

that is bringing a very
similar product to the market.

And, they saw what
I did for them, for TruMoney

And they were like,
you know what, girl you're good.

So they offered me double
the pay that TruMoney gave me.

So when my contract ends with them,

and I'll shift my followers from
TruMoney to them as well. See?

Well, that's simple but isn't that…

unethical?

- I mean…
- No. Um,

not with the kind
of strategy that I'm going by.

Look, I said you just have to
be six steps ahead of the game.

It is a dog eat dog world out there.

I mean, I, I feel sorry for these brands.

- They are suffering.
- No. No.

You can't even say that.

Do you know that majority of these apps,

like these… clients, they're not honest.

Do you… Do you
realize that I over-delivered

on my contract with
TruMoney and they short-changed me?

Wait a minute.
How do you know how much they made

to make you think they short-changed?

I have my sources.

I told you to stay
six steps ahead of the game.

In fact, please, is this an inquisition?

No, no, I mean.

No like, you came
here for me to cook for you.

- Please it is just conversation.
- Exactly, so should I serve you?

- Yes, please.
- Exactly.

Yes, please.

- Do you want to pass me the plate?
- Yes.

Um, I've heard everything you said.

Do you…

or rather have you
documented a… a statement?

Yes, we have. It's uh, with your staff.

It's here.

Here it is sir.

Um, do you have a picture of
this man? I mean, the assailant.

I do.

Are you sure this is the man?

I am 100% sure.

His name is Tunde Bada.
And he is a business analyst.

You can go back to your post.

Your case has just
got tougher, young lady.

How? What do you mean?

- You see that picture on your phone?
- Yeah.

That is the son of
the Inspector General of Police.

No. That's not even possible.

Okay, maybe I did not
introduce myself properly.

My name is Captain Lagi Gowon
and I demand you give us...

Do… do you know
he told me that he was an poor man?

He told me that his father had died.

You can google the IG's picture.

Gboyega Bada.

- No, Bono.
- Does that sound familiar to you?

- Bono, wait.
- Leave me.

Um, whatever this is you can

take it home and
possibly come back tomorrow.

If you so wish.

Fraud. Fraudulent people.

Now you know who the man is
and you're running away.

What on earth is this?

Hello Bono, please sit down.

Can someone please explain to me

why my contract was
prematurely terminated?

That is a breach of contract.

Especially when I have done
my own end of the bargain.

If I must add.

Cut the bullshit, Bono.

Excuse my French but the game is up.

Can someone please
explain to me what this is about?

Because I would not be asking
these questions again, my lawyers will.

Look Bono,

I'm sorry it has come to this.

But information reaching
us says that you already

signed on to a rival brand.

And, um, this happened
before your contract ended with us.

See, Bono, it pays to be
six steps ahead of the game. Doesn't it?

Do you know what?
You all are a bunch of jokers.

You don't even have proof. You don't.

Oh yes, we do.

Allow me to introduce Mr. Tunde Bada,

the TruMoney silent
partner we had spoken to you about.

Double the pay
that TruMoney gave me.

So once my contract ends with them,

and I'll shift my followers
from TruMoney to them as well. See?

You.

I am sick and tired of shitty ass men.

Why can't they just die of some
stupid disease or jump off a bridge.

There is definitely an epidemic
of stupid, shitty ass men out there.

I'm really sorry, boo-boo.

- Honestly, this is not even funny.
- You've really had your fair share.

Hm, but, I'm still sulking

that you chose to press play on all
the drama in your life when I traveled.

I mean, a rapist, and then
a late night police station visit.

Then a business deal is
straight out of a spy movie.

You really don't do
things halfway, do you?

Look, Kore, I worked my ass
off for these TruMoney people.

I even over-delivered
on my contract for them.

So what's going to
happen to all that money

TruMoney is yet to
pay you as your last cheque?

I'd have to... Obviously it's gone.

But at some point,
I will contest and get my money back.

Shitty bags of shitty people.

Aah, speaking of shit…

when last did you hear from Lagi?

- That's better, ah.
- Don't let them get to you.

- Girl.
- It's not worth it.

And can I add?

I think you owe Lagi some
gratitude because if he wasn't there...

Mm-mm, mm-mm, please.

I don't owe Lagi anything.

I told him thank you
there and then. That's that.

I think God is calling.

Hm. Kore, what a way to call.

With all the shitty things
that are happening in my life.

Please eh, this was just a case
of me trusting vital information

with a very, very stupid man.

Very, very stupid Tunde Bada. What a fool.

I'm saying what
I'm saying because not too long ago,

you threw God a challenge.

You told him he could take everything.

And what does the Bible say about
the tongue being the bringer of all evil?

Um, sis, I don't know
where you heard that one from.

It actually says "Life and death are in"

the power of the tongue
and those that love it

eat the fruit thereof."
I think it is Proverbs 18:21.

Something like that.

And where did you get that one from?

I don't know. Residual knowledge.

- Eh-eh?
- Hmm.

Hm,

- I think God is calling oh.
- Please, He's not.

♪ Follow the ladder. ♪

♪ Follow the ladder. ♪

♪ Follow the ladder to heaven ♪

- ♪ Sister follow! ♪
- ♪ Bono follow! ♪

- Oh.
- I'm tired.

I'm sorry.

So how you feeling? Better, I hope.

Yeah, I feel…

I feel much better.
I can breath now without feeling the pain.

- That's good.
- Hm.

Look, I…

I know I haven't treated you right.

And I know that you were really mad at me.

Not really.

As a Muslim I believe
that what will be will be.

We don't really fight for what is ours.

- Ah, wow, that's beautiful.
- Yeah.

I'd like to
get to know you better.

If that's okay.

I'd love that.

I'll like that too but

let's be honest we both
know this is going nowhere.

How do you mean?

Your parents, my faith.

The things that conspire against this
are things we both hold in high regard.

How do you say, uh…
kicking against the brakes.

How do you know that expression?

Long story, but you get the idea.

Yeah, I do.

But I also know that
the heart can want something so bad,

that it keeps kicking and doesn't mind,

you know, the pain and the bleeding.

I agree with you.

Right,

but I'm wise enough to also know that

that has not been my experience with you.

You're kicking on someone else's door.

XO.

It's okay. It's okay, it's okay.

Do you care to tell me about her?

The girl at the restaurant, the other day.

Come on, out with it.

Out with it.

Okay, uh…

…Really.

I thought I'd remember.
But I don't know how it happened.

So that was how
Pastor Lagi became brother Lagi?

You could say so.

- Huh.
- Yeah.

- Okay.
- Thanks for listening to me.

I… I actually feel better.

I'll tell you this one thing.

Someone once said:

Forgive yourself and
your mistakes would follow.

If you don't let Lagi go,
don't expect anyone else to.

Hmm.

That is really profound.

So,

it is like what the Bible says in, uh…

Philippians 3:13.

You know, about
letting go of the past. Letting

go of things behind you
and reaching forth for the

things that are before you.

- Lovely.
- Yeah.

So, what now?

Now, you go after Bono.

I know it's hard but
that is where your heart is.

At least, for now.

And should that
ever change, then you'll know.

And you'll have
the courage to fully move on.

Wow, look who's
spitting profoundness today.

I wish I could take my
own advice sometimes.

That's a good idea. High-five on that.

Okay, mum.

Out with it. Why have I been summoned?

You have not been summoned.
I've just been a little bit worried and

I thought to share my heart with you.

Okay mum.

- Kore told me some things…
- Hm.

That have me shocked, quite frankly.

- Kore?
- Yes.

I would have done worse things than you

if this had happened like,
seven years ago.

Mum, to be honest I don't
feel like talking about this right now.

- I don't.
- I'm not asking you to talk.

I'm asking you to listen.

See,

I'm not the one that
was in a relationship with Lagi.

But then I have come to
terms with what happened.

And I have come to forgive myself

for not being vigilant enough,

to have… noticed what was happening.

I've also worked on myself

to forgive that young man.

And also to release him from my heart.

Am I making sense to you at all?

Yes, mum.

And when I was thinking of…

what to say to you,

I asked the Lord

and something dropped.

A scripture dropped in my spirit.

And that scripture is Joel chapter two

verses 23, 24, 25 and 26.

Mummy, where?

Joel,

chapter two

verses 23 to 26.

I'll read it to you.

It says, "Be glad ye children"

of the Lord.

Ye children of Zion. And rejoice

in the Lord, your God,

for he had given you

"rain moderately."

Underline moderately.

…"And he will cause to
come down for you the rain,

the former rain and the latter rain…

in the first month.

And the floor shall be full with

wheat.

And the vats shall be

"flowing with wine and oil."

Amen.

And he said: 'I will
restore to you the years that

the locust had eaten. And the cankerworm,

the caterpillar and
the palmerworm, the great army

which I sent amongst you.

And ye shall eat in plenty

and be satisfied and
praise the name of your Lord,

"your God that had
dealt bountifully with you."

And you,

Bono Siaba Kuku,

shall never

be put to shame.

- Can you say amen?
- Amen.

Lord, I pray you,

complete the work
you started in your daughter.

Give her a new spirit,
renew her mind Lord.

Let the same spirit, your spirit
that raised Jesus from the dead,

quicken her mortal body, Father Lord.

Thank you, mighty God.

Thank you sweet Jesus.
Lord, I trust and believe you.

For in Jesus' mighty
name I pray in thanksgiving.

Amen.

- Mummy.
- Yes dear.

Seven years ago, when I found out that

Lagi had left me.

Mummy, I cried.

And the Lord,

dropped this scripture on my heart.

And I wrote it down.

Mummy…

Mummy, this is seven years…

This is seven years after

And God,

has brought me back

to the exact point

where he spoke with me.

Mummy, I was too stubborn

and I was too angry.

Ah, mummy, I was angry.

I was too angry to listen.

Mummy, this is
seven years later. And God

has brought me back
to the first point when we first spoke.

. This is something really great.

Now you can see that

- it is not about me.
- Yes mum.

Can we pray?

Mummy I think
I need time to process all of this.

That's fine.

But,

I would like to pray with my daughter.

- Okay, mum.
- I… I…I don't need you to pray.

O... Okay.

Be on your knees.

Amen.

Mummy, what did you tell God?

It's… It is done.

Amen.

It's between

a mother

and her God.

- I love you daughter.
- I love you mummy.

Can I join?

Oh,

come.

- Work around complete, Captain?
- Yep.

Looking good.

This is network news 24/7.

Breaking news.
I am Lara Blessing. Stay tuned.

Mummy, no.

Mummy, no.

- No!
- It's okay. It's okay.

- No! Lagi!
- It's okay.

No, I've forgiven him.
Mummy, I had already forgiven him.

Forgive me, please.
Mummy, I have forgiven him, already.

Yes, I know.

I've forgiven him.

I was just waiting to
tell him I've forgiven him.

I know. Baby, please.

Lagi, please, forgive me.

- Bono…
- It's okay.

I'm so sorry.

- I'm so stupid.
- Calm down, calm down.

Why did I wait? Tell me why?

God, please.

Please.

- Mummy!
- It's okay baby, it's okay.

Mummy, help me ask him.
I need a second chance.

Please,

Second chance. I have forgiven

- God, please. I beg you.
- Bono please.

Anything.

Just give me one chance.

My-My Lagi.

Mummy!

- My baby, it's okay.
- Mummy, the only man I've

ever truly loved is gone.

- Lagi, please come back.
- It's okay.

It's okay.

God.

Bono please, please. Please calm down.

Bono!

- Bono, no.
- My baby.

My baby, get some water! Get some water.

My baby.

No, mummy. I don't have…
I don't have appetite. I'm not hungry.

Okay.

Please, if you guys don't mind. I'd just…

I'd really like to be alone.

I just want to
process things a little bit.

Are you… Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Okay. Well, as it is,

I'd have to go and uh,
pick up some more things.

I'll probably have to be staying here

a bit more. Hmm?

Okay mummy, thank you.

Good, good. You be good. Be strong. Hmm?

Be strong. Promise me you'll be fine?

- I will mama.
- Love you, my baby.

Love you too, mummy.

- Alright, see you then.
- Okay, mummy. Bye.

Um…

I'll need to head back to the shop.

Put some things in place.

It's okay, love. Just do what you need.

Mum, did you forget your ba...

Lagi?

Yes. It's me, Bons.

I came as soon as I heard.

May I come in?

Yeah.

Sit down with me, please.

Go on.

Now, before I explain the airline news.

I'd like to apologise for everything.

If I could take it all back, I would.

You didn't deserve any of it.

- Lagi.
- Just hear me out. Okay? Please.

When you came back
into my life, I… I was confused.

I thought God had brought you back so

I could help you heal.

Imagine that.

I thought I was
responsible for your healing,

but I was wrong.

Now I know better.

I know that wasn't what this is about.

Now, I know God wanted me to be healed.

Um, how could he do that?

Lagi, I have not been a model daughter.

I have rebelled in every

possible way. And you know that.

Yes,

God is tenacious about his kids. Isn't he?

He isn't one to give up so easily.

And he doesn't judge the way we do.

I know.

Honestly,

the occurrences that have
happened these past few days

Whoo.

- They've been unbelievable.
- Yes.

But, I'm just…

um, ah.

I'm glad you're here.

I'm glad too.

So, are we good?

Yes, of course.

We are good. I… ah,
I can't believe you're here.

Awesome.

I can't believe you are here.
I need to call Eric, and, and mum,

- and your dad and…
- Hey, hey…

- Don't worry.
- We were so worried.

Don't worry.

- Really?
- Yes. I have it all covered.

Okay.

Lagi, the timing of
this whole thing is so crazy.

Do you know I was
going to call you this morning?

Like I was going to call you this morning

to tell you that I've forgiven you and

because man, God has
been dealing with me.

Hey, hm.

And honestly, I…

I knew that you were sorry.
I knew that you were honestly sorry.

I was just playing hard to get.

I was just… I was just being stubborn.

I know. I know.

I don't even know if this

timing is right

for this, but,

if the past few
days have taught me anything

it's to live in the present.

Ah, I don't know how to say this.

Lagi,

I love you.

And I have never stopped loving you.

I was just too proud and

too stubborn to admit it.

And… and, yes,
I know that we're not perfect.

Our relationship has a lot of hurdles

but we would cross them.

And I promise not to
get angry at you again.

In fact, I'll be a good girl.

Now I can rest easy,
knowing that you'll be fine.

Okay.

May I get some water, please? I'm parched.

Okay, I will get you water.
Is that all you need?

Is that your soup?

Yes, my mum made it because
she was trying to force me to eat,

I was so worried. You should've seen me.

Okay, should I warm that up
or I should just get water for you?

- Water will be fine.
- Okay, I'll be back.

Alright.

Where is he?

Lagi?

I don't, I don't understand.

- Lagi?!
- Who?

Please have you seen my keys?

- I've been looking for it every...
- Kore, where is Lagi?

- Who?
- Lagi.

Bono,

calm down. What do you mean?

I just left here literally two minutes ago

until I realise that I forgot my keys.

Bono,

Lagi is…

Lagi is dead.

He is not. He was just here. I'm not mad.

Calm down.

- I'm calm.
- Let me call your mum.

No, Kore, he just left here now.

- Lagi! Kore, Kore.
- Let me call your mum.

- Lagi was just here.
- He couldn't have been.

I've been outside our flat the whole time.

I didn't move an inch.

- Please, please, stop.
- Kore.

Look, look, he gave me this.

You... He couldn't have.

So, you saw a…

Bon...

Bono, Bono, Bono, Bono, Bono please,

please, please don't do...
Oh God, please don't do this.
