00:00You can take that off.
00:30I'm sorry, Superintendent.
00:39What am I meant to be looking at?
00:44That moving reflection in the mirror right there.
00:49Clearly, Sonny Bello was still alive after you left him.
00:53Obviously, Bello hung himself, perhaps out of fear of incarceration.
00:59So, the investigation into your possible involvement in his death is officially closed.
01:11I would have thought that you would be very happy to be cleared of this, Inspector.
01:15I am. I just don't believe that he committed suicide.
01:20Think about it. Why would he?
01:23He was young, and the maximum he was facing was ten years.
01:28Well, there are many people who can't afford even that, regardless of how young they are.
01:33But remember, we already offered him immunity.
01:36So, what are you saying?
01:38That he was murdered within our facility by one of our own?
01:43Now, that is a huge accusation, Inspector.
01:46He was murdered.
01:47But besides, there's no evidence of that on our CCTV footage.
01:50There were no other visitors to his cell after you.
01:55He was murdered.
02:00Just look at this view.
02:04Have you ever seen anything so...so beautiful? So serene?
02:12Um...yes, yes. Very beautiful.
02:14and serene
02:17yes and serene
02:21you know at first glance
02:23no one will be able to tell
02:26the chaos
02:28that this city holds
02:30everybody just moving around
02:34minding their business
02:44my father told me what you did for him
02:54that is the only reason
02:58you're not lying dead
03:00right where you stand
03:01I appreciate it
03:04does your smallie know you're here?
03:14I can't explain it
03:22but my guts tells me
03:24that things are not the way that they want us to believe
03:26they?
03:31superintendent
03:31I need you to believe me
03:34I know what I saw that night
03:38at the location that he gave me
03:41that's the thing
03:42we found no evidence of any illegal activity
03:45in that place whatsoever
03:47it is simply
03:48an auto parts shop
03:50our team combed every nook and cranny
03:53of that place
03:54I don't know how they knew
03:57but they knew I was coming
03:58are you listening to yourself inspector?
04:03not only do we have a murderer
04:06in the unit
04:07we also have a mole
04:08is that what you're saying?
04:10remember when I told you about those guys?
04:12face grab
04:12one of them owns the lease
04:15to that auto parts shop
04:16so
04:17people are allowed to lease buildings
04:20to transact legitimate businesses
04:21it doesn't make them
04:22sonny told me
04:24that
04:24that the guards in there
04:26preferred one man
04:27above all else
04:28now
04:29he couldn't see their faces
04:31because they all wore masks
04:32but he said
04:33this

07:27the last thing I remember
07:29is press a record

08:00I have to state
08:01at this point
08:02that in recent times
08:03you madam

08:06separating fantasy
08:07from reality

08:19after my family died
08:25and I returned home
08:27from the hospital
08:30I chose to avoid
08:34certain places
08:34in my home
08:35because of the memories
08:36my bedroom
08:38is one of those places
08:39I haven't spent

10:39to weave

13:49chef michael
13:50the best around town
13:53you know
13:54he alone
13:56understands
13:58my peculiar palates
13:59you know
14:10is something wrong
14:12I'm just not hungry
14:19right now
14:20out of respect
14:22out of respect
14:22for my father
14:23I accepted
14:25in these truths
14:26but what I will not accept
14:30is an insult
14:32to my hospitality
14:33there
14:41oh
14:45It is an acquired taste.
15:10Why are you here?
15:13I want you to leave my family alone.
15:15And why would I do that?
15:20I have nothing to do with your granddaughter's death.
15:24That's why I'm here, because I think we can come to a comfortable...
15:29Nothing comfortable!
15:31About seeing my grandchild's body blown into pieces.
15:35I didn't mean...
15:37Look, you tried to kill my daughter too.
15:39If I wanted your daughter dead, she would be dead!
15:41That was just a warning.
15:47Your smally friend had been ignoring me.
15:52And I do not like being ignored.
15:55Well, you have my attention now.
15:58And this violent back and forth needs to end.
16:03Do you know how it feels?
16:13To watch your innocent grandchild's body explode.
16:20Body parts falling from the skies like confetti.
16:23Bond parts scattered all around.
16:27And my wife has hardly spoken a word since that day.
16:30And my daughter...
16:34My daughter just came out of suicide watch.
16:40So let me tell you what I will do.
16:43First, I will start with your children.
16:44And then I will come to your wives.
16:49They are beautiful.
16:50I will peel the skin of their supple flesh...
16:54While they are still alive.
16:58And then there is you.
17:04Let me keep that little juicy detail to myself.
17:08But if you want...
17:10I can show you a preview today.
17:13I am more valuable to you alive than dead.
17:17Is that so?
17:19Obaz and I have gone our separate ways.
17:22Such a shame.
17:25Yes.
17:28I am creating my own outfit now.
17:30You know what that means?
17:31I will give you exactly what you want.
17:34And what is it that I want?
17:36A tax.
17:3830% of all proceeds.
17:39That does no longer suffice, Mr. Edeo.
17:50You say of my father's life.
17:54For that, I am indebted to you.
17:57But there is only one thing...
17:59In this whole universe.
18:03That will make me not consider incinerating your children...
18:08And scattering their ashes over the Atlantic.
18:11It has to be a fair exchange.
18:19You boys...
18:20took blood...
18:21from me.
18:25You have to pay me back...
18:27with blood.
18:28If you want me to leave your family out of this...
18:35You bring me your small partner's head.
18:42You don't have to give me an answer today.
18:45My boys will keep you in a comfortable place.
18:48You can think about it overnight.
18:49But when you get to shore in the morning...
18:55I want you to know this.
18:59Your clock...
19:00starts...
19:01ticking.
19:04Good night, Mr. Edeo.
19:06So...
19:36We met. We talked. He threatened.
19:44And?
19:45He wants a boss.
19:51So what did you tell him?
19:53What else would I have said?
19:55No.
19:58Whatever is going on between us is still my brother.
20:01I couldn't have betrayed him.
20:02No, he is not.
20:03But he was your business partner.
20:07And the sooner you learn to distinguish between this and that, then...
20:10Oh, come off it.
20:12You just don't like the man.
20:15But he's a husband and a father.
20:21That's fine.
20:24Go ahead and make me the bad guy.
20:27But remember, Ify, I will always tell you exactly as it is.
20:33And I am telling you the truth right now.
20:38A boss is dangerous, unpredictable, and erratic.
20:44I would serve his head on a dish if it will protect me and my family.
20:50That man gave me an opportunity when I had nothing.
20:55He gave me everything.
20:57Two things can be right at the same time.
21:03In any case, we might have bigger problems.
21:07He believes I am the reason you've been ignoring him.
21:17And he sent me this.
21:18What's he talking about?
21:28Inspector Motunrayo Ogunlesi.
21:31She works for the NCCC and apparently she...
21:33What did you say her name is again?
21:35Inspector Motunrayo Ogunlesi.
21:39She just left my office now, asking a lot of questions about you.
21:43Including wanting to see your files.
21:46Everything is just crashing around me.
21:48You aren't going through this alone.
21:54I'm right here.
21:58I'm not a boss.
22:00Or your wife.
22:02You don't have to hide who you are around me.
22:06This woman...
22:08needs to be sorted.
22:11How?
22:13She doesn't look like she can be brought over.
22:17Who's talking about bribing her?
22:19I'm talking about finding her Achilles' heel.
22:24And slashing it all the way through.
22:28She can't get to you.
22:31If we get to her first.
22:38I don't know what to tell you.
22:40I don't remember him saying that.
22:43Are you sure you heard properly?
22:44You were right there.
22:45Okay, Mo.
22:46I'm starting to worry.
22:48You come in here telling these stories only you seem to remember?
22:52Wearing the same clothes as yesterday?
22:57Are you still...
22:58You know what I don't like?
23:00I don't like people asking me that fucking question!
23:03I am not crazy!
23:08Baby's not here?
23:09Yes, yes, yes.
23:10My friend just got some bad news.
23:12But it's okay.
23:14Thank you very much.
23:19You need to drop it, Mo.
23:22You barely got off with the suspension.
23:24Don't make things worse for yourself.
23:26Your career is online.
23:28This is not about my career.
23:30This is about some very bad man doing some very bad things to children.
23:35And nobody believes me!
23:38You are putting me in a very, very delicate position.
23:43I don't mean to.
23:44You two, why don't you tell me where you were the other nights?
23:51I could have helped.
23:53Or at least I could have told you that it was a bad idea.
23:55It was not a bad idea.
23:57I followed my gut.
23:58And I'll do the same thing again.
24:01Besides, I don't want you to get into trouble as well.
24:06The question is, how did those guys know that we had Sani?
24:12And that we had given up the location of the cell?
24:14So you really think he didn't commit suicide?
24:18Go on, Alame.
24:18You were there.
24:19You saw him.
24:21There was nothing suicidal about that boy.
24:23You were there.
24:53Hey.
24:56Can't sleep?
24:59Hmm?
25:08This may seem straightforward to you.
25:12But I wouldn't wish this decision on my enemy.
25:17Protect my family.
25:19I have to give up someone I'd love.
25:27You can't possibly love that man.
25:32He's an animal.
25:33From now on.
26:00Who am I?
26:14Huh?
26:22I don't know.
26:24The most emotional service.
26:26A family, dangerous.
26:27I can't wait to let you sit.
26:30Oh, my God.
27:00Oh, my God.
27:30Oh, my God.
28:00Oh, my God.
28:06Good evening, sir.
28:07Good evening, officials.
28:08Yes, sir.
28:09Where is my daughter?
28:09She's in the kids' room, sir.
28:30Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, shh, shh, it's just a dream, okay, shh, it's okay, it's
28:57okay, it's okay, it's just, it's just a dream, okay, you're driving yourself crazy, you need
29:20to rest, I have something that can help you relax, forget about everything that's worrying
29:36you, do you want to try it?
29:43Here, trust me.
30:05It will happen, I promise.
30:24Money for art, back for crap.
30:48Oh, come on.
30:57Hello?
31:14Oh, my God!
31:18Oh, come on.
31:20Oh, come on.
31:27Are you not going to say anything the entire session?
31:35What's the point?
31:36Nobody listens to me, and I'm sick, I'm tired of it.
31:42Who's not listening to you, Mo?
31:44What happened?
31:48You were doing so well.
31:56Are you eating?
32:00Are you taking your meds?
32:02Are you sleeping well?
32:13Well, since you're not going to engage, I see no point in us continuing.
32:16But I will advise, let's take care not to stress our limits.
32:22We've come a long way to get here.
32:26We don't want to do anything to set us back.
32:30In the meantime, I will share some material that will help you manage your stress.
32:42How do you manage your stress?
32:56Hello.
32:58Are you all right?
32:59Mm-hmm.
33:02What time is it?
33:05How do you feel?
33:09Well, I...
33:11I've felt this rest of me a long time.
33:15Told you.
33:17Good.
33:21So...
33:23Have you decided what you're going to do?
33:27Do what I want.
33:31Don't play quiet with me.
33:32I'm not playing quiet with you.
33:35Teacher wants an answer, and he's not going to leave forever.
33:37Manda, Manda, please, please.
33:39Free me, free me!
33:40Leave me a neck, make I breathe now!
33:42Ah!
33:43And where's my fucking goddamn phone?
33:56I'm going off while you're asleep.
33:59I silenced it.
34:04Hello?
34:05Boss, I've been attacked when you said so.
34:08She don't move.
34:12She's a bitch in the car.
34:18What is this?
34:20Don't move me, guys!
34:29Make sure you don't lose her.
34:30Yes, boss.
34:32The tragedy has once again hit the Edeewa house.
34:36And this time, it's ended in the passing of the mother-in-law,
34:39of successful businessman and technopreneur, Ephemini Edewo.
34:44Mrs. Rosalind Edoza, known to friends as Mommy Nosa,
34:49succumbed to injuries she sustained from an attack while shopping at Oni Market
34:53almost two weeks ago.
34:56This is a tragic, if somewhat foreseeable, turn of events
34:59for a family that has suffered a series of attacks in recent months.
35:03Before her death, Mrs. Edoza was known for her tireless work at her church
35:08and asked the chairperson...
35:10Good afternoon, Inspector.
35:11Um, hello?
35:13I wasn't sure if I should call because of the suspension and all,
35:17but I found something on the lady you asked me to look into.

35:25Please bring the suitcases at the back.
35:27Yes.
35:28And the ones at the back, on the floor, where the children were sitting, on the floor.

38:17inspector gulessi ah good you remember the name so we could skip the introduction and go straight to the
38:24good part can you tell me how it's possible for the empty of a struggling hospital to move her parents
38:32to a sprawling estate in omaya
38:42better
38:45yes so he kept sending 500 000 every month after he paid his debt
38:52i didn't know i didn't know it was him initially in fact i didn't recognize the sender
39:01then i thought thought what
39:06my father was sick in the hospital my husband and i had been struggling
39:11i thought maybe god has finally answered our prayers
39:20go on
39:24then about a year later
39:27he called for the first time he told me he had been the one sending the money
39:39to the first time he was sick in the hospital
39:45is that how to greet your father
39:47is that how to greet your father
39:53oh eight you mad at me since the whole world is mad at me
40:02i should go home
40:08you should go home
40:21i messed this up with you
40:23I've been messing it a bit time.
40:30All I wanted was to give my family a better life.
40:43Give you a better life.
40:53But I've messed this up.
40:59You didn't wonder where he was getting the money?
41:02He said he had gone into business with a childhood friend.
41:05And he was doing well now.
41:09Who am I to question someone's blessings?
41:13How did he come about buying the hospital?
41:16He kept in touch.
41:18And still kept sending money every first of the month.
41:22Like salary.
41:24Then he got my husband and I a car.
41:27We were shocked.
41:28But you didn't refuse it.
41:32He kept asking questions about the hospital.
41:35Who owned it.
41:38How things were financially.
41:41Then one day,
41:43he said he wanted to diversify and buy the hospital.
41:47And his mother-in-law would run it.
41:49And that if I helped him,
41:52I could become general manager.
41:55With my salary increased.
41:58Of course I was happy.
42:01Plus,
42:02I didn't sense anything negative.
42:05In fact,
42:05I had said to myself,
42:07since he was such a good businessman,
42:09who had raised himself to that level in just a few years,
42:12maybe he was a good thing for the hospital.
42:20Then,
42:21then what?
42:22I started noticing large deposits in the hospital's account.
42:29But I didn't recognize the company making the deposits or what it was for.
42:35The deposits were happening too frequently for me to ignore.
42:41We were paying exorbitant amounts of money
42:43for things like supplies that never got delivered.
42:47Then I confronted him.
42:54It was then that he opened up
42:56and told me everything that was happening.
43:00He was using the hospital to lunder money.
43:04And the monies I have been receiving every month
43:07was also dirty money.
43:09And that if he got caught,
43:12I would get into trouble as well.
43:14And of course you kept quiet.
43:15I'm so ashamed of myself.
43:20No.
43:21You're ashamed that you've been caught.
43:27Mom and Osai's dead.
43:31I know.
43:34I was dead earlier.
43:38I was trying.
43:39I was trying my best.
43:42Mother bitch!
43:43The fucking bitch!
43:47I had to push, push, push!
43:54And now she's gone.
44:01Left me with everything.
44:04She's done wrong.
44:05When you're looking for pity.
44:09Or for somebody to soothe your conscience.
44:13We're in the wrong place.
44:17I feel nothing for you.
44:22You know what?
44:23I lie.
44:28I hate you.
44:31And I'm glad that everybody is finally seeing you
44:34for the miserable, manipulative person that you are.
44:38I don't mean to do that.
44:39I don't mean to do that.
44:42Don't, don't, don't touch me.
44:46You go around blaming everybody for your failures.
44:51When the person will get first, now you.
44:52Daddy, let me tell you something.
44:53The world has not wronged you.
44:54You are what is wrong with the world.
44:55Where is all this venom coming from?
44:57Don't, don't touch me.
45:02You go around blaming everybody for your failures.
45:05One of the best things we get first, like you.
45:09Can you let me tell you something?
45:11The world has not wronged you.
45:13You are what is wrong with the world.
45:18Where is all this venom coming from?
45:20Is it because of a worse?
45:30It's not the right man for you.
45:32How would you know what is right for me?
45:34How would you know what is right for me?
45:38You barely bring a father to me.
45:40She paid me from one relative to the other since mommy died.
45:43Can you tell me you don't know what...
45:45and the face, fear?
45:54Because it's dangerous.
45:57What?
46:00I know him more than his mother.
46:04What are you trying to say?
46:07Save you.
46:15And what?
46:18Just see person who won't save somebody.
46:25Can't even save yourself.
46:26Yes.
46:29Be very!
46:35Yes.
46:36Will I go to jail?
46:53Depends.
46:56Are you willing to testify to everything you've told me today?
46:59If you cooperate...
47:05I might be able to keep you out of jail in exchange for your testimony.
47:13Good.
47:14Give me your phone.
47:18You're going to go back to work like nothing happened.
47:20You never saw me.
