00:00:57,041 --> 00:01:00,750
[Narrator] When people
ask me how old I am, I say,

5
00:01:00,750 --> 00:01:04,875
I am older than the oldest
person you ever met.

6
00:01:07,875 --> 00:01:11,041
But this story is not about me.

7
00:01:11,416 --> 00:01:15,500
I am going to tell you about my father.

8
00:01:26,500 --> 00:01:30,250
Scientists say that the average
person can take enough air

9
00:01:30,250 --> 00:01:33,875
into their lungs to stay
underwater without a breath

10
00:01:33,875 --> 00:01:35,625
for about two minutes,

11
00:01:35,625 --> 00:01:38,416
but there was nothing average about Timi.

12
00:01:41,750 --> 00:01:44,875
[water splashing]

13
00:01:44,875 --> 00:01:47,541
[gentle music continues]

14
00:01:47,541 --> 00:01:50,250
[clock ticking]

15
00:01:51,791 --> 00:01:54,375
In fact, the Guinness Book of Records say

16
00:01:54,375 --> 00:01:57,625
that the longest a man
has ever stayed underwater

17
00:01:57,625 --> 00:02:02,125
holding his breath was for
24 minutes, 36 seconds.

18
00:02:02,125 --> 00:02:03,541
They were wrong.

19
00:02:03,541 --> 00:02:04,375
[gentle music continues]

20
00:02:04,375 --> 00:02:06,250
Timi was special.

21
00:02:06,250 --> 00:02:10,625
He spoke 16 languages,
four of which were extinct.

22
00:02:10,625 --> 00:02:14,416
For fun, he would rewrite holy
books in different languages.

23
00:02:15,791 --> 00:02:17,416
[waves whooshing]

24
00:02:17,416 --> 00:02:21,000
Timi didn't just graduate top
of his class in Cambridge.

25
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,791
He was the highest-honored cadet

26
00:02:22,791 --> 00:02:25,250
in his entry class of Her Majesty's Navy.

27
00:02:26,166 --> 00:02:28,625
He was also one of the youngest people

28
00:02:28,625 --> 00:02:31,125
to ever become a member of clergy

29
00:02:31,125 --> 00:02:32,916
in the great Church of England.

30
00:02:34,250 --> 00:02:36,750
[gentle music continues]

31
00:02:36,750 --> 00:02:39,250
[clock ticking]

32
00:02:39,250 --> 00:02:41,500
When the coach asked him if he came up

33
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:44,125
because he finally ran out of air,

34
00:02:44,125 --> 00:02:47,875
Timi simply said he was bored down there.

35
00:02:47,875 --> 00:02:50,416
[gentle music continues]

36
00:02:50,416 --> 00:02:54,291
On July the 3rd, 1953,

37
00:02:54,291 --> 00:02:58,625
Ayodele Timilehin Johnson
held his breath underwater

38
00:02:58,625 --> 00:03:03,625
for 57 minutes and 18 seconds.

39
00:03:04,083 --> 00:03:07,916
[gentle music continues]

40
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,166

[birds chirping]

42
00:03:17,125 --> 00:03:19,625
Reverend Timi was now a wealthy man.

43
00:03:19,625 --> 00:03:20,750
He was the only child of one

44
00:03:20,750 --> 00:03:22,916
of the most successful shipping traders

45
00:03:22,916 --> 00:03:24,166
in the Western region.

46
00:03:27,291 --> 00:03:29,416
He never knew his mother.

47
00:03:29,416 --> 00:03:31,875
She died of tuberculosis
when he was a baby,

48
00:03:32,750 --> 00:03:35,500
and now his father was gone too.

49
00:03:36,375 --> 00:03:39,791
[bright music continues]

50
00:03:45,166 --> 00:03:48,625

[horn honking]

52
00:03:53,125 --> 00:03:55,291
By the time Reverend Timi returned home,

53
00:03:55,291 --> 00:03:57,250
he came with his wife Bridgette,

54
00:03:57,250 --> 00:03:59,250
who he had met at Cambridge

55
00:03:59,250 --> 00:04:01,375
and their beautiful baby girl, Alison.

56
00:04:01,916 --> 00:04:06,625
[soft music]

57
00:04:08,416 --> 00:04:12,125
This was his family now, and
it meant the world to him.

58
00:04:16,250 --> 00:04:18,625
Reverend Timi got right to what he loved.

59
00:04:19,750 --> 00:04:23,375
He got familiar with the
town and fixed up the church.

60
00:04:24,666 --> 00:04:31,250
[choral music]

61
00:04:32,125 --> 00:04:36,875
Everyone loved them, and
the church grew immediately.

62
00:04:37,916 --> 00:04:39,791
In fact, even though he wasn't

63
00:04:39,791 --> 00:04:41,791
the highest clergyman in the country,

64
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,750
he was asked to pray
for Princess Alexandra

65
00:04:45,750 --> 00:04:47,500
on the evening of independence.

66
00:04:48,291 --> 00:04:51,625
[soft music]

67
00:04:51,625 --> 00:04:53,791
[Announcer] The
Reverend Timi Johnson ma'am

68
00:04:55,125 --> 00:04:58,250
[solemn piano music]

69
00:05:01,291 --> 00:05:02,916
Shall we pray?

70
00:05:02,916 --> 00:05:06,416
[Narrator] Rumour has it
that she asked for him by name.

71
00:05:09,125 --> 00:05:13,666
Heavenly Father, hallowed
be thy almighty name,

72
00:05:13,666 --> 00:05:16,750
we thank you for, indeed,
your kingdom has come today.

73
00:05:17,625 --> 00:05:22,625

[fire whooshing]
[gentle music continues]

76
00:05:37,125 --> 00:05:39,791
[Narrator] You might say
that for Reverend Timi,

77
00:05:39,791 --> 00:05:41,416
life was perfect,

78
00:05:41,416 --> 00:05:42,250
but you would have

79
00:05:42,250 --> 00:05:46,250
spoken to soon.
[fire whooshing]

80
00:05:46,250 --> 00:05:48,875
Different gangs operated
in the big cities,

81
00:05:48,875 --> 00:05:51,000
but the Baby Fire Gang was notorious

82
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,166
for terrorising small towns.

83
00:05:53,166 --> 00:05:55,875
And now they were here.

84
00:05:55,875 --> 00:05:57,250
[engine revving]
[dramatic music]

85
00:05:57,250 --> 00:05:59,916
Baby Fire himself was
the devil's own child.

86
00:06:00,916 --> 00:06:03,625
He loved nothing more
than to see things burn.

87
00:06:04,875 --> 00:06:06,916
He'll tell his gang that this world

88
00:06:06,916 --> 00:06:10,541
was just a bus stop on his way to hell.

89
00:06:10,958 --> 00:06:15,541

[tense music continues]

103
00:07:16,250 --> 00:07:18,291
We cannot do anything

104
00:07:18,291 --> 00:07:21,750
if no one is willing to name the culprit.

105
00:07:21,750 --> 00:07:23,250
But why?

106
00:07:23,250 --> 00:07:25,875
Everybody knows it's
Baby Fire and his gang.

107
00:07:25,875 --> 00:07:27,916
Will you keep quiet?

108
00:07:27,916 --> 00:07:29,750
You want to tell the magistrate

109
00:07:29,750 --> 00:07:31,916
so that Baby Fire can
kill us in the street?

110
00:07:32,750 --> 00:07:34,250
Like he killed our Ajeronmi.

111
00:07:34,250 --> 00:07:36,625
Why don't you police
look for him and kill him?

112
00:07:36,625 --> 00:07:38,375
If it was a white man that he killed,

113
00:07:38,375 --> 00:07:39,750
he would be hanging by now.

114
00:07:41,250 --> 00:07:42,916
Without any eye witness,

115
00:07:42,916 --> 00:07:44,750
what will I say I'm arresting him for?

116
00:07:44,750 --> 00:07:46,750
Why don't you say that you
saw him with your own eyes?

117
00:07:46,750 --> 00:07:48,875
After all, it happened in broad daylight.

118
00:07:52,375 --> 00:07:54,750
I'll swear it to the magistrate.

119
00:07:54,750 --> 00:07:55,791
[Bridgette gasps]

120
00:07:55,791 --> 00:07:56,625
I saw him.

121
00:07:59,416 --> 00:08:00,625
I'll swear it in court.

122
00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:04,125
[sombre music]

123
00:08:05,125 --> 00:08:07,000
[Narrator] That night,
the Reverend and his wife

124
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,000
fought like they had never before.

125
00:08:11,916 --> 00:08:13,416
I can't believe that you
would do this to the family.

126
00:08:13,416 --> 00:08:16,791
[Narrator] She went
from anger to begging.

127
00:08:16,791 --> 00:08:18,750
Please, I'm begging, please!

128
00:08:18,750 --> 00:08:19,791
[Narrator] And back to anger.

129
00:08:19,791 --> 00:08:21,000
She couldn't understand

130
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,750
why he would want to put
himself in such danger.

131
00:08:23,750 --> 00:08:28,666
He knew it was dangerous, but
he believed he had a purpose.

132
00:08:28,666 --> 00:08:30,750
And maybe this was it.

133
00:08:31,625 --> 00:08:37,166
[people chattering]
[car rumbling]

134
00:08:37,916 --> 00:08:39,375
[people chattering]

135
00:08:39,375 --> 00:08:41,541
- [gavel rapping]
- Order!

136
00:08:41,541 --> 00:08:42,375
Order in court!

137
00:08:42,375 --> 00:08:44,666
I have only one question, Reverend.

138
00:08:45,500 --> 00:08:48,916
Do you see the man who killed Mr Ajeronmi

139
00:08:48,916 --> 00:08:51,750
on November the 14th in this court today?

140
00:08:54,041 --> 00:08:55,291
That's him right there.

141
00:08:56,166 --> 00:08:58,000
[ominous music]
[Baby Fire screaming]

142
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,875
Order, order, order!

143
00:09:00,750 --> 00:09:02,291
Order!

144
00:09:02,291 --> 00:09:07,291
[people shouting]
[ominous music continues]

145
00:09:08,125 --> 00:09:10,125
[Narrator] What no one
knew was that Baby Fire

146
00:09:10,125 --> 00:09:13,291
was employed and paid
by leftover colonials

147
00:09:13,291 --> 00:09:16,625
who used him to exterminate
troublesome elements,

148
00:09:16,625 --> 00:09:19,250
people like Ajeronmi
who called for all whites

149
00:09:19,250 --> 00:09:21,000
to return to their countries.

150
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,625
And so, right there,

151
00:09:22,625 --> 00:09:27,375
two white men made the most
important decision in our story.

152
00:09:28,750 --> 00:09:32,250
It is the decision
of Her Majesty's court

153
00:09:32,250 --> 00:09:36,750
that there is insufficient
evidence to prosecute this man.

154
00:09:37,750 --> 00:09:41,916
The accused is therefore free to go.

155
00:09:41,916 --> 00:09:45,125
[people shouting]

156
00:09:45,125 --> 00:09:48,625
[ominous music continues]

157
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,625
[Timi] You be a good
girl for mummy, okay?

158
00:09:57,625 --> 00:09:59,125
Do everything she says.

159
00:09:59,125 --> 00:10:00,750
Promise?

160
00:10:00,750 --> 00:10:01,625
See you soon.

161
00:10:06,625 --> 00:10:08,000
Come with us.

162
00:10:09,750 --> 00:10:12,500
I start all this
trouble, then I just leave?

163
00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:15,125
They'll terrorise this town.

164
00:10:15,125 --> 00:10:16,875
You're not a soldier anymore.

165
00:10:19,250 --> 00:10:21,000
And they have machine guns.

166
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,250
What are you going to do?

167
00:10:24,041 --> 00:10:25,916
Who needs guns when you've got God?

168
00:10:26,750 --> 00:10:28,666
It's not funny, Timi.

169
00:10:28,666 --> 00:10:29,541
I'm sorry.

170
00:10:32,125 --> 00:10:34,416
I just need to get a
few people out of here

171
00:10:34,416 --> 00:10:36,791
and I'll be right behind you, I promise.

172
00:10:36,791 --> 00:10:38,125
You'll be safe in Lagos.

173
00:10:39,500 --> 00:10:41,500
[gentle piano music]

174
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:42,791
I didn't marry a martyr.

175
00:10:45,375 --> 00:10:47,166
You better come back to me.

176
00:10:47,166 --> 00:10:48,166
[gentle piano music continues]

177
00:10:48,166 --> 00:10:49,750
Yes, Mrs. Johnson.

178
00:10:54,791 --> 00:10:56,500
Come on.

179
00:10:56,500 --> 00:11:00,375
[gentle piano music continues]

180
00:11:03,750 --> 00:11:07,291
[gentle piano music continues]

181
00:11:07,291 --> 00:11:09,666
Thanks for doing this.

182
00:11:09,666 --> 00:11:13,625

Mom, what's that?

188
00:11:51,750 --> 00:11:55,750
Mr. Williams, I think you
should turn the car around.

189
00:11:55,750 --> 00:11:56,583
Mom?

190
00:11:56,666 --> 00:11:58,750
Turn the car around!

191
00:11:58,750 --> 00:12:00,125
Turn the car around!

Mommy, what are they doing?

208
00:13:08,750 --> 00:13:10,291
It's a game, sweetie.

209
00:13:10,291 --> 00:13:12,416
Look at Mummy, all right?

210
00:13:13,875 --> 00:13:14,750
I love you.

211
00:13:16,125 --> 00:13:17,500
It's just a game.

[sombre music]

213
00:13:21,125 --> 00:13:22,000
[Alison] I am scared.

Oh, don't be scared.

215
00:13:24,166 --> 00:13:25,000
Don't be scared.

216
00:13:25,083 --> 00:13:26,583
It's hide and seek.

217
00:13:29,416 --> 00:13:31,625
Will Daddy find us?

219
00:13:34,166 --> 00:13:35,125

[Narrator] Over the next nine days,

233
00:14:59,625 --> 00:15:01,500
Reverend Timi just laid there.

234
00:15:03,291 --> 00:15:04,875
Everyone tried to help.

235
00:15:06,125 --> 00:15:07,375
They removed the car,

236
00:15:08,416 --> 00:15:10,125
brought food and flowers,

237
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,291
but the Reverend just laid there.

238
00:15:14,375 --> 00:15:18,916
Come rain or shine, day or night,

239
00:15:18,916 --> 00:15:21,916
he'd just lay there.

240
00:15:22,625 --> 00:15:30,583
[music continues]

241
00:15:37,083 --> 00:15:38,833
[Bridgette] Get up.

242
00:15:43,750 --> 00:15:48,250

one day, he just got up.

[music continues]

244
00:15:56,916 --> 00:15:59,250
He was going to do what God wouldn't.

245
00:16:00,500 --> 00:16:03,541
After all, who needs God

246
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,750
when you have guns?

247
00:16:06,750 --> 00:16:09,500

00:16:48,375 --> 00:16:50,750
You are not a killer.

00:16:50,750 --> 00:16:54,125
[tense music continues]

258
00:17:00,916 --> 00:17:03,291
[gun firing]

259
00:17:03,833 --> 00:17:05,125
[soft music]

260
00:17:05,125 --> 00:17:07,000
[Narrator] Timi knew that
everyone would just assume

261
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,666
that Baby Fire mistakenly
lit the house on fire.

262
00:17:10,666 --> 00:17:12,625
So he sent him on his way.

263
00:17:12,791 --> 00:17:13,625
[fire burning]

264
00:17:13,791 --> 00:17:15,291
No more bus stops.

[tense music continues]

274
00:17:54,750 --> 00:17:56,125
Over the next few weeks,

275
00:17:56,125 --> 00:17:58,916
Timi tried to kill himself
in the most ridiculous ways.

276
00:18:00,500 --> 00:18:03,791
[tense music continues]

277
00:18:07,791 --> 00:18:13,625
[tense music continues]

278
00:18:20,750 --> 00:18:23,125
Clearly unsure of how much bleach it takes

279
00:18:23,125 --> 00:18:25,166
to kill a man who just wouldn't die,

280
00:18:26,166 --> 00:18:28,916
he decided to take no chances.

281
00:18:28,916 --> 00:18:32,250
[tense music continues]

282
00:18:37,041 --> 00:18:39,791

[tense music continues]

284
00:18:52,375 --> 00:18:54,875
All Timi wanted was to be with his family,

285
00:18:56,125 --> 00:18:57,625
and he wanted it right away.

286
00:18:59,625 --> 00:19:02,166

[insects chirring]
[sombre music]

291
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,916
By the time I would come to know Mr. Timi,

292
00:19:40,916 --> 00:19:42,166
he was an old man.

293
00:19:43,250 --> 00:19:45,666
He had just buried his butler,

294
00:19:45,666 --> 00:19:47,750
the only real family he had left.

295
00:19:49,250 --> 00:19:53,875
And now he was going to
need help around the house.

296
00:19:53,875 --> 00:19:56,250
[sombre music]

297
00:19:56,250 --> 00:19:58,291
I had just finished my NYSC

298
00:19:58,291 --> 00:20:01,750
and couldn't find a job
in Lagos or anywhere else.

299

[sombre music continues]

[sombre music continues]

301
00:20:15,250 --> 00:20:18,375
What I really wanted, was
to start my own church.

302
00:20:18,375 --> 00:20:20,916
But first I needed money.

303
00:20:20,916 --> 00:20:24,375

[gun firing]

305
00:20:31,916 --> 00:20:33,125
Like many before me,

306
00:20:33,125 --> 00:20:36,000
I had been told there was
an opening for a houseboy

307
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,500
that paid very well,

308
00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:40,750
if I could handle the job.
[gun firing]

309
00:20:40,750 --> 00:20:43,375
Let's just say they
weren't cut out for it.

Speak, boy!

00:21:25,875 --> 00:21:27,166
Are you deaf?

318
00:21:31,250 --> 00:21:32,125

[inhaler whooshes]

320
00:21:36,500 --> 00:21:37,375
No, sir.

321
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,625
So, are you a thief?

322
00:21:41,625 --> 00:21:43,500
No, I am not.

323
00:21:43,500 --> 00:21:47,416
So why will you come
into a house uninvited?

324
00:21:48,625 --> 00:21:50,166
Ah.

325
00:21:50,166 --> 00:21:51,625
Good day sir, my...

326
00:21:51,625 --> 00:21:55,750
[stammering] I'm here for
the job of a houseboy.

327
00:21:56,875 --> 00:21:58,375
Houseboy?

328
00:21:58,375 --> 00:21:59,375
Yes, sir.

329
00:21:59,375 --> 00:22:01,625
I'm actually more of a house manager.

330
00:22:02,625 --> 00:22:04,125
My name is Elijah.

331
00:22:05,375 --> 00:22:07,250

I erm...

334
00:22:13,458 --> 00:22:16,500
I printed out my CV to show you

335
00:22:16,500 --> 00:22:19,375
that I'm very qualified, sir.

336
00:22:24,125 --> 00:22:26,333
[Timi grunts]

337
00:22:27,291 --> 00:22:28,125
No.

338
00:22:28,208 --> 00:22:29,666
Sir?

339
00:22:29,666 --> 00:22:30,500
Please, sir.

340
00:22:30,500 --> 00:22:31,500
I'll do everything.

341
00:22:31,500 --> 00:22:33,791
I'll cook, clean, run all your errands,

342
00:22:33,791 --> 00:22:36,375
do anything to bring
this great house of God

343
00:22:36,375 --> 00:22:38,125
back to its glory.

[gun cocking]

346
00:22:45,541 --> 00:22:51,250
If you ever say that
name in this house again,

347
00:22:52,666 --> 00:22:55,041
it will be the last name that you speak.

348
00:22:55,375 --> 00:22:56,583
[tense music]

349
00:22:57,250 --> 00:22:58,375
Are we clear?

350
00:22:59,875 --> 00:23:00,750
Yes sir.

351
00:23:05,125 --> 00:23:06,000
Sir,

352
00:23:06,083 --> 00:23:06,916
uhm...

353
00:23:08,208 --> 00:23:09,416
my...

354
00:23:10,833 --> 00:23:14,250
my Ibibio name means

355
00:23:15,583 --> 00:23:17,250
"God's power".

356
00:23:17,250 --> 00:23:19,125
Do I have to go outside to say that?

357
00:23:20,250 --> 00:23:23,375

[goofy music]
[Timi chuckles]

359
00:23:29,875 --> 00:23:32,250
I have breakfast at 8:00 a.m. sharp.

360
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:35,166
Three eggs and a coffee.

361
00:23:36,875 --> 00:23:39,250
You move your things into that
room at the end of the hall.

362
00:23:39,250 --> 00:23:40,750
Sir, does that mean I have the job?

363
00:23:40,750 --> 00:23:43,875
For a house manager, you're
not very smart, are you?

364
00:23:43,875 --> 00:23:44,708
No, sir.

365
00:23:44,791 --> 00:23:46,250
I mean, yes, sir.

366
00:23:47,125 --> 00:23:48,416
Thank you so much, sir.

367
00:23:49,375 --> 00:23:51,125
Thank you, sir.

00:24:35,333 --> 00:24:41,208
[uplifting music]

371
00:24:43,416 --> 00:24:46,125
[clock ticking]

372
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,041
Morning, sir.

373
00:24:54,041 --> 00:24:56,541
[Timi grunts]

374
00:24:57,375 --> 00:25:04,541
[clock ticking]

375
00:25:07,041 --> 00:25:14,916
[clock ticking continues]

376
00:25:18,250 --> 00:25:23,833
[goofy music]

377
00:25:26,750 --> 00:25:30,125
[goofy music continues]

378
00:25:34,041 --> 00:25:36,125
There's too much salt!

379
00:25:36,125 --> 00:25:37,750
Are you trying to kill me?

380
00:25:38,500 --> 00:25:40,541
[plate clatters]

381
00:25:41,625 --> 00:25:43,375
[heavy breathing]

382
00:25:43,750 --> 00:25:46,041
What are you waiting for?

383
00:25:46,041 --> 00:25:48,416
Three eggs and a coffee!

384
00:25:48,416 --> 00:25:51,125
[dramatic music]

385
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,625
[dramatic music continues]

386
00:26:05,166 --> 00:26:06,375
No taste!

387
00:26:07,416 --> 00:26:08,750
Are you daft?

388
00:26:08,750 --> 00:26:13,750
[plates clattering]
[goofy music]

389
00:26:14,875 --> 00:26:17,375
[tense music]

390
00:26:24,375 --> 00:26:31,250
[tense music]

391
00:26:33,750 --> 00:26:37,291
[Narrator] It took me
16 tries and 3 hours

392
00:26:37,291 --> 00:26:39,875
to learn how to make
omelettes for Mr. Timi.

393
00:26:40,125 --> 00:26:41,041
[sigh of relief]

394
00:26:41,916 --> 00:26:49,791
[upbeat music]

395
00:27:23,041 --> 00:27:29,875
[sombre music]

396
00:27:32,375 --> 00:27:35,000
[Narrator] I don't know
why I sat down that night

397
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,250
or if it meant anything to Mr Timi.

398
00:27:38,750 --> 00:27:40,125
I never knew his family,

399
00:27:41,416 --> 00:27:42,625
but I didn't think you needed

400
00:27:42,625 --> 00:27:44,750
to know someone's pain to share it.

401
00:27:46,125 --> 00:27:48,541
So every night when I closed up the house,

402
00:27:49,791 --> 00:27:51,000
we would just sit,

403
00:27:53,666 --> 00:27:56,125
him inside, me outside,

404
00:27:56,916 --> 00:27:58,375
and just cry for a while.

405
00:27:58,916 --> 00:28:01,833
[sombre music continues]

406
00:28:05,166 --> 00:28:06,875
[Elijah rasping]

407
00:28:09,333 --> 00:28:13,583
[Elijah rasping]

408
00:28:14,750 --> 00:28:18,250
[inhaler hissing]

409
00:28:18,250 --> 00:28:21,958
[Elijah rasping]

410
00:28:28,416 --> 00:28:31,125
[Elijah rasping]

411
00:28:37,583 --> 00:28:38,666
Good afternoon, sir.

412
00:28:38,666 --> 00:28:41,333
Hello, you must be Elijah.

413
00:28:41,416 --> 00:28:42,250
Yes, sir.

414
00:28:42,250 --> 00:28:43,125
Ah.

415
00:28:43,125 --> 00:28:45,041
We have not been properly introduced.

416
00:28:45,125 --> 00:28:45,958
Uhm

417
00:28:46,041 --> 00:28:46,916
Yes, sir.

418
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,250
You were in a hurry when you first came.

419
00:28:49,250 --> 00:28:51,666
Oh, quite so, quite so.

420
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,125
He does not like any tardiness at all.

421
00:28:56,125 --> 00:28:58,000
Yes, as you will have found out yourself.

422
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,041
Yes.

423
00:28:59,041 --> 00:29:00,750
Breakfast has to be ready yet 8:00 a.m.

424
00:29:00,750 --> 00:29:02,000
or there's going to be trouble.

425
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,458
Ah, yes.

426
00:29:04,458 --> 00:29:06,000
Once a soldier, I guess.

427
00:29:06,916 --> 00:29:11,000
Well, I'm Mr. Coker, Mr. Johnson's lawyer.

428
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,916
Yeah, I handle his estate.

429
00:29:13,916 --> 00:29:16,625
Yes, which means I'll be
paying you your salary

430
00:29:16,625 --> 00:29:18,250
and any other funds that you might need

431
00:29:18,250 --> 00:29:20,416
to run the household from now on.

432
00:29:20,416 --> 00:29:22,625
Thank you, thank you, sir.

433
00:29:22,625 --> 00:29:25,125
I have been using the little money I have

434
00:29:25,125 --> 00:29:26,416
all these while.

435
00:29:26,416 --> 00:29:30,250
He likes people to
take the initiative, yes.

436
00:29:30,250 --> 00:29:32,125
Now, don't be afraid of him.

437
00:29:32,125 --> 00:29:33,000
He doesn't bite.

438
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,541
I don't know.

439
00:29:35,541 --> 00:29:37,625
Maybe there's something
I'm not doing right,

440
00:29:37,625 --> 00:29:40,750
but Reverend Timi seems
to get upset all the time.

441
00:29:40,750 --> 00:29:41,708
What did you just call him?

442
00:29:41,708 --> 00:29:42,750
[tense music]

443
00:29:43,375 --> 00:29:44,875
Who told you to call him that?

444
00:29:46,625 --> 00:29:50,791
Whatever you do, do not talk about family.

445
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,000
Do not, definitely do not, talk about God.

446
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,916
The fact that you're still
here means that he likes you.

447
00:30:00,916 --> 00:30:02,125
- Okay sir.
- Okay.

448
00:30:02,125 --> 00:30:03,375
All right, thank you very much, sir.

449
00:30:03,375 --> 00:30:04,250
Bye-bye.

450
00:30:04,250 --> 00:30:05,625
All right, have a nice day, sir.

451
00:30:17,041 --> 00:30:20,000
[door thuds]

452
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,791
[bright music]

453
00:30:24,416 --> 00:30:26,458
[door rattle]

454
00:30:27,875 --> 00:30:31,291
In my free time, I would
sneak off to the old church

455
00:30:31,291 --> 00:30:33,000
and begin to fix it up, too.

456
00:30:34,125 --> 00:30:36,250
I knew Mr. Timi wouldn't like it,

457
00:30:36,250 --> 00:30:39,666
especially since I used part
of the money for the house.

458
00:30:39,666 --> 00:30:41,250
I had it all planned out.

459
00:30:42,166 --> 00:30:44,750
I would have one hour
Bible study once a week

460
00:30:44,750 --> 00:30:46,916
when Mr. Timi was taking his siesta.

461
00:30:47,791 --> 00:30:49,625
He didn't talk to anyone in the town

462
00:30:49,625 --> 00:30:51,916
so he didn't have to know.

463
00:30:51,916 --> 00:30:56,833
[bright music continues]

464
00:30:57,750 --> 00:31:00,250
[bright music]

465
00:31:00,250 --> 00:31:03,125
[traffic passing]

466
00:31:04,291 --> 00:31:12,250
[bright music]

467
00:31:32,416 --> 00:31:34,750
[Narrator] That weekend,
I went to the local clinic

468
00:31:34,750 --> 00:31:35,875
to get a new inhaler.

469
00:31:36,791 --> 00:31:39,625
And that's when I saw
the most beautiful thing.

470
00:31:41,375 --> 00:31:42,291
Her name was Anna.

471
00:31:43,416 --> 00:31:45,333
She was a volunteer,

472
00:31:45,333 --> 00:31:48,375
[pidgin] God did an amazing job on her.

473
00:31:49,375 --> 00:31:53,791
[gentle music]

474
00:31:55,666 --> 00:31:57,041
I hope you like the food.

475
00:31:57,041 --> 00:31:59,708
[patient] Ah, Pastor, too sweet.

476
00:31:59,791 --> 00:32:00,625
Thank you very much.

477
00:32:00,625 --> 00:32:01,583
It's not that sweet.

478
00:32:01,583 --> 00:32:02,875
[Elijah laughs]

479
00:32:04,583 --> 00:32:05,625
Thank God.

480
00:32:05,625 --> 00:32:08,791
[patient] Pastor, you really try for us,
so God bless you.

481
00:32:08,791 --> 00:32:09,708
- Amen.
- Amen.

482
00:32:09,791 --> 00:32:10,666
Thank God.

483
00:32:10,750 --> 00:32:13,291
[patient] Are you sure there's nothing
you want us to do for you?

484
00:32:17,625 --> 00:32:19,666
[Elijah exhaling]

485
00:32:25,541 --> 00:32:26,625
Actually.

486
00:32:26,625 --> 00:32:29,291
[light music]

487
00:32:29,291 --> 00:32:30,750
[patient] Nurse Anna, right?

488
00:32:30,750 --> 00:32:33,625
Oh, just Anna, I'm just a volunteer.

489
00:32:33,625 --> 00:32:35,833
[patient] Hehen,
I knew you were a good person.

490
00:32:35,916 --> 00:32:36,833
By the way,

491
00:32:36,833 --> 00:32:40,291
have you been to the Bible
study at the town church?

492
00:32:40,291 --> 00:32:41,125
Bible study?

493
00:32:41,125 --> 00:32:42,500
- [patient] Yes.
- No I haven't.

494
00:32:42,500 --> 00:32:44,541
[patient] Ah, you must go.

495
00:32:44,625 --> 00:32:45,458
Easy.

496
00:32:45,458 --> 00:32:47,000
[patient] My Spirit said you must go.

497
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,625
This is the Bible study flyer.

498
00:32:50,500 --> 00:32:51,666
Thank you.

499
00:32:51,666 --> 00:32:52,916
[patient] You're welcome.

500
00:32:54,875 --> 00:33:00,083
[light music]

501
00:33:01,125 --> 00:33:03,375
[mumbled conversation]

502
00:33:06,125 --> 00:33:08,791
Have you heard anything
about a Bible study in church?

503
00:33:10,125 --> 00:33:11,541
No.

504
00:33:11,541 --> 00:33:13,750
Then how come every
patient is asking me to go?

505
00:33:18,166 --> 00:33:19,000
Hi.

506
00:33:22,875 --> 00:33:23,750
Good afternoon Ma.

507
00:33:23,750 --> 00:33:25,375
[pidgin] Bible study has finished.

508
00:33:25,375 --> 00:33:29,041
Oh, I know, I was late so
I didn't want to interrupt.

509
00:33:29,041 --> 00:33:31,833
[pidgin] Late to the church
is late to life.

510
00:33:31,833 --> 00:33:34,041
[yoruba] what are you looking for?

511
00:33:34,041 --> 00:33:35,208
[pidgin] You want to see him right?

512
00:33:35,541 --> 00:33:36,750
[pidgin] okay go see him.

513
00:33:36,750 --> 00:33:38,250
Thank you ma.

514
00:33:38,250 --> 00:33:40,250
[Elijah] Dear God, I don't ask for much.

515
00:33:40,250 --> 00:33:42,375
Please don't let this asthma fall my hand.

516
00:33:42,375 --> 00:33:43,625
Hello.

517
00:33:43,625 --> 00:33:44,916
I'm Anna.

518
00:33:44,916 --> 00:33:46,625
But I think you knew that already.

519
00:33:46,625 --> 00:33:48,291
[Elijah] Shit, shit, shit.

520
00:33:48,291 --> 00:33:49,500
I mean, not shit.

521
00:33:49,500 --> 00:33:50,541
I mean crap.

522
00:33:51,041 --> 00:33:51,916
[Elijah rasping]

523
00:33:52,250 --> 00:33:53,166
Oh, fuck it.

524
00:33:58,375 --> 00:33:59,208
[Elijah exhales]

525
00:33:59,666 --> 00:34:00,875
Hi,

526
00:34:01,750 --> 00:34:02,625
I am Elijah.

527
00:34:03,750 --> 00:34:08,750
Well Elijah, I got your
message, all 37 of them.

528
00:34:09,041 --> 00:34:12,041
Oh, I didn't know all
of them would give you.

529
00:34:13,041 --> 00:34:16,250
I hope that's still
charming and not creepy.

530
00:34:16,333 --> 00:34:18,916
I dunno yet. You're quite odd.

531
00:34:20,625 --> 00:34:22,708
Uhm, yeah. No, no.

532
00:34:22,791 --> 00:34:23,625
Uhm...

533
00:34:23,875 --> 00:34:26,750
It's my asthma.

534
00:34:26,750 --> 00:34:29,291
It flares up whenever I am around.

535
00:34:29,291 --> 00:34:30,541
B...b...b...

536
00:34:30,833 --> 00:34:32,250
When you are around?

537
00:34:35,916 --> 00:34:37,875
Proverbs 31:3.

538
00:34:37,875 --> 00:34:40,041
"Give not thy strength unto women

539
00:34:40,916 --> 00:34:43,750
or thy ways to them
that destroyeth kings."

540
00:34:44,916 --> 00:34:47,291
So I have the power to destroy kings?

541
00:34:48,583 --> 00:34:50,208
I am sure you do.

542
00:34:52,625 --> 00:34:54,000
But I don't really do the Bible thing.

543
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,625
I just wanted to say hi.

544
00:34:59,666 --> 00:35:01,666
Well, this king destroyer
needs to get back home.

545
00:35:01,666 --> 00:35:03,041
Will, will, will I see uhm...

546
00:35:03,041 --> 00:35:06,041
Will we see you again?

547
00:35:08,125 --> 00:35:10,375
Will you like to see me again?

548
00:35:10,375 --> 00:35:11,208
Very much.

549
00:35:13,125 --> 00:35:16,250
I mean, yeah, sure.

550
00:35:16,250 --> 00:35:19,250
It's the house of God and in His presence

551
00:35:19,250 --> 00:35:24,250
there's [clearing throat]
liberty and joy forevermore.

552
00:35:26,625 --> 00:35:28,541
Well, maybe you should walk me home.

553
00:35:30,125 --> 00:35:32,916
[romantic music]

554
00:35:40,625 --> 00:35:42,250
[romantic music continues]

555
00:35:43,166 --> 00:35:44,000
Sorry.

556
00:35:47,500 --> 00:35:51,250
[romantic music continues]

557
00:35:52,375 --> 00:35:55,750
[Elijah] So when you're not
volunteering at the hospital,

558
00:35:55,750 --> 00:35:56,875
what do you do?

559
00:35:58,666 --> 00:35:59,625
I don't know yet.

560
00:36:00,500 --> 00:36:01,750
Well, I just got back from school

561
00:36:01,750 --> 00:36:04,000
so I guess I'm just figuring it out.

562
00:36:06,416 --> 00:36:07,541
Mm hmm.

563
00:36:07,625 --> 00:36:11,625
So church, is that all you do?

564
00:36:13,166 --> 00:36:14,250
Hmmm.

565
00:36:15,125 --> 00:36:16,041
Okay.

566
00:36:16,041 --> 00:36:17,625
I think I should let you know that I work

567
00:36:17,625 --> 00:36:22,041
at Mr. Timi's house as the house boy.

568
00:36:24,500 --> 00:36:25,625
Well, from what I've heard,

569
00:36:25,625 --> 00:36:27,916
you're more like the house manager.

570
00:36:27,916 --> 00:36:30,041
Nothing gets done
in that place without you.

571
00:36:31,250 --> 00:36:32,750
How did you know?

572
00:36:32,750 --> 00:36:34,416
The whole town.

573
00:36:34,416 --> 00:36:36,625
What, you don't think I did my research?

574
00:36:37,750 --> 00:36:39,500
How many young people are in this town,

575
00:36:39,500 --> 00:36:41,000
and you didn't think
I'm going to ask about

576
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:42,916
the handsome guy running the church?

577
00:36:42,916 --> 00:36:45,166
Oh, you think I'm handsome?

578
00:36:45,166 --> 00:36:47,333
You better relax before
you need your inhaler again.

579
00:36:47,375 --> 00:36:48,250
[Elijah chuckles]

580
00:36:50,791 --> 00:36:54,875
[soft romantic music]

581
00:36:54,875 --> 00:36:56,291
Thanks.

582
00:36:56,291 --> 00:36:57,125
You're welcome.

583
00:37:01,041 --> 00:37:03,000
Actually, I think
everyone's rather impressed

584
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:03,916
that you got the job.

585
00:37:03,916 --> 00:37:06,791
Even my dad, although he
would never admit it, but

586
00:37:08,125 --> 00:37:09,750
he's intrigued by you guys

587
00:37:09,750 --> 00:37:11,291
and what happens in that house.

588
00:37:14,250 --> 00:37:15,875
It's just the two of you, right?

589
00:37:18,916 --> 00:37:21,416
My dad said he went crazy
when he lost his family,

590
00:37:22,291 --> 00:37:24,500
doesn't go anywhere,
doesn't talk to anyone.

591
00:37:26,125 --> 00:37:27,125
He's not crazy.

592
00:37:28,375 --> 00:37:31,125
He's actually funny and he
could be really friendly.

593
00:37:33,541 --> 00:37:37,750
He just misses his family
and sometimes cries

594
00:37:37,750 --> 00:37:39,625
whenever he thinks about them.

595
00:37:39,625 --> 00:37:40,791
Oh.

596
00:37:41,750 --> 00:37:43,291
I think that's beautiful.

597
00:37:47,750 --> 00:37:50,666
I uhm, we need to stop here.

598
00:37:50,666 --> 00:37:52,125
My house is just right there.

599
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:56,625
Okay. [clearing throat]

600
00:37:57,416 --> 00:38:02,000
Do you want to meet me at the
river tomorrow, say 4:00 p.m.?

601
00:38:04,083 --> 00:38:05,000
Maybe.

602
00:38:07,375 --> 00:38:09,250
Maybe is not no.

603
00:38:09,250 --> 00:38:10,125
So?

604
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:11,916
[soft piano music]

605
00:38:11,916 --> 00:38:13,750
Goodnight, Elijah.

606
00:38:13,750 --> 00:38:14,583
Goodnight.

607
00:38:16,166 --> 00:38:19,166
[soft piano music]

608
00:38:23,666 --> 00:38:26,416
I don't think I slept a wink that night.

609
00:38:26,416 --> 00:38:28,750
I must have ironed my
trousers like four times.

610
00:38:31,083 --> 00:38:32,166
Is this for me?

611
00:38:37,875 --> 00:38:39,375
Why are you dressed like that?

612
00:38:40,291 --> 00:38:41,875
[Elijah] Is she mad?

613
00:38:41,875 --> 00:38:43,000
This is my best shirt.

614
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,125
Dressed like what?

615
00:38:45,041 --> 00:38:47,916
Like you are going to church
when you're coming to swim.

616
00:38:50,291 --> 00:38:51,666
Uhm, Swim?

617
00:38:51,750 --> 00:38:52,625
I...

618
00:38:52,708 --> 00:38:54,166
I didn't say swim.

619
00:38:54,166 --> 00:38:56,500
But I thought you wanted
to meet at the river.

620
00:39:00,250 --> 00:39:04,000
[Elijah rasping]

621
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,791
[inhaler hissing]

622
00:39:09,625 --> 00:39:10,875
You want to swim?

623
00:39:13,541 --> 00:39:16,250
[soft piano music]

624
00:39:16,250 --> 00:39:18,541
I didn't know whether
it was her bathing suit

625
00:39:18,541 --> 00:39:20,041
or her confidence,

626
00:39:20,041 --> 00:39:23,125
but I knew right there I
was going to marry her.

627
00:39:25,125 --> 00:39:30,291
[soft piano music]

628
00:39:31,541 --> 00:39:33,000
Are you coming?

629
00:39:38,375 --> 00:39:39,291
[Elijah] It took two months

630
00:39:39,291 --> 00:39:42,000
before I could put my head underwater,

631
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,666
and another three months
before I could swim properly.

632
00:39:46,916 --> 00:39:49,916
[soft piano music]

633
00:39:53,041 --> 00:39:56,541
I had seen her almost every
day for the last six months.

634
00:39:57,500 --> 00:40:00,916
I think it was safe to
say she was my girlfriend.

635
00:40:01,375 --> 00:40:04,708
[soft piano music]

636
00:40:07,875 --> 00:40:10,250
She even made it to a few Bible studies.

637
00:40:12,250 --> 00:40:14,750
[soft orchestral music]

638
00:40:14,750 --> 00:40:17,250
Although I'm not sure if
the word penetrated much.

639
00:40:23,125 --> 00:40:28,125
[bright music]

640
00:40:31,250 --> 00:40:34,375
Her father could have
bought her a brand new BMW,

641
00:40:34,375 --> 00:40:37,875
but she bought a bicycle
instead, just to ride with me.

642
00:40:40,625 --> 00:40:45,625
[bright music]

643
00:40:50,375 --> 00:40:53,750
[bright music continues]

644
00:41:00,291 --> 00:41:03,791
[bright music continues]

645
00:41:11,166 --> 00:41:13,875
So let's go back to Psalm 55.

646
00:41:14,125 --> 00:41:15,708
[Door swings]

647
00:41:16,791 --> 00:41:21,750
"No one who practises
deceit will dwell in my house.

648
00:41:21,750 --> 00:41:26,041
No one who speaks falsely
will stand in my presence."

649
00:41:27,500 --> 00:41:28,375
Psalm 101.

650
00:41:28,375 --> 00:41:29,750
Yes. Psalm 101.

651
00:41:30,875 --> 00:41:34,041
"For such people do not
serve the Lord Christ,

652
00:41:34,041 --> 00:41:36,791
but instead they follow
their own appetites

653
00:41:36,791 --> 00:41:39,166
with smooth talk and flattery.

654
00:41:39,166 --> 00:41:43,750
They deceive the minds of naive people."

655
00:41:43,750 --> 00:41:46,500
Ah, well that is in the book of Romans.

656
00:41:46,500 --> 00:41:48,291
Even me, I know that one.

657
00:41:49,750 --> 00:41:50,625
Please?

658
00:41:55,916 --> 00:41:59,250
Sir, I thought you would still
be asleep till 4:00 p.m. sir.

659
00:41:59,250 --> 00:42:00,666
I have done everything I was... [muffled]

660
00:42:00,666 --> 00:42:02,375
Colossians!

661
00:42:02,375 --> 00:42:05,375
"See to it that you are not taken captive

662
00:42:05,375 --> 00:42:07,625
through deceptive and a hollow philosophy,

663
00:42:07,625 --> 00:42:09,375
which depends on human traditions

664
00:42:09,375 --> 00:42:12,625
and the elemental spiritual
forces of this world."

665
00:42:12,625 --> 00:42:14,166
"Rather than Christ."

666
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,666
You said you didn't want
to hear anything about God.

667
00:42:20,666 --> 00:42:22,125
So I couldn't tell you, sir.

668
00:42:23,625 --> 00:42:25,000
I don't have a day off, sir.

669
00:42:26,125 --> 00:42:28,125
So, I do everything else of mine

670
00:42:29,041 --> 00:42:30,416
only when you take your siesta.

671
00:42:30,416 --> 00:42:33,000
If you don't like the
job, then get the hell out!

672
00:42:36,125 --> 00:42:37,916
"You shall not oppress a hired servant

673
00:42:37,916 --> 00:42:39,666
who is poor and needy,

674
00:42:40,625 --> 00:42:42,750
whether he be one of your countryman

675
00:42:43,625 --> 00:42:47,250
or an alien who is on
your land, in your town.

676
00:42:48,625 --> 00:42:51,916
You shall give him his wages
and his time before sunset.

677
00:42:51,916 --> 00:42:55,000
'Cause he's poor and sets his hearts on it

678
00:42:56,416 --> 00:42:59,500
so that he will not pray
to the Lord against you

679
00:42:59,500 --> 00:43:02,041
and it be sin in you"

680
00:43:02,041 --> 00:43:02,875
Fine.

681
00:43:03,916 --> 00:43:06,875
You think you've been
sent by the Lord, hmm?

682
00:43:06,875 --> 00:43:11,875
To teach these people,
minister to His flock.

683
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:14,625
Oh, you think you are
worthy of His message?

684
00:43:15,750 --> 00:43:18,750
" Give careful thought to your ways.

685
00:43:18,750 --> 00:43:20,666
You have planted much,

686
00:43:20,666 --> 00:43:21,750
but harvest little.

687
00:43:23,125 --> 00:43:25,291
You eat but never have enough.

688
00:43:26,166 --> 00:43:29,750
You drink, but never have your fill.

689
00:43:29,750 --> 00:43:31,791
You put on clothes but you are not warm.

690
00:43:31,791 --> 00:43:34,666
You earn wages only
to put them in a purse

691
00:43:34,666 --> 00:43:36,250
with holes in it"

692
00:43:36,250 --> 00:43:38,000
If by breakfast tomorrow morning

693
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:39,791
you can tell me what verse that is,

694
00:43:39,791 --> 00:43:41,875
then once a week I will let you pretend

695
00:43:41,875 --> 00:43:44,041
that you are not just a house boy.

696
00:43:44,708 --> 00:43:48,541
[tense music]

697
00:43:48,541 --> 00:43:49,458
[Mama Ayo] Sorry.

698
00:43:49,708 --> 00:43:50,958

[inhaler hisses]

700
00:43:53,625 --> 00:43:54,458
Sorry.

701
00:43:57,416 --> 00:44:02,416
It took all night, but I
found that damn Bible verse.

702
00:44:02,500 --> 00:44:05,500
[piano music]

703
00:44:07,916 --> 00:44:08,750

Good morning, sir.

What the hell is going on here?

733
00:46:51,625 --> 00:46:54,416
So sorry sir. I didn't hear you call me.

734
00:46:54,416 --> 00:46:56,541
Rain fell on your newspaper,

735
00:46:56,541 --> 00:46:59,375
so I thought I iron them
before breakfast, sir.

736
00:46:59,375 --> 00:47:00,791
Well,

737
00:47:00,791 --> 00:47:03,125
I broke my glasses last night
so I can't read it anyway.

738
00:47:03,125 --> 00:47:08,125
I can, rea... rea...[rasping]

739
00:47:10,750 --> 00:47:12,125
I can read them for you, sir.

740
00:47:12,125 --> 00:47:14,000
Not if you can't breathe, you can't.

741
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,541
I...I...I...I can sir.

742
00:47:15,541 --> 00:47:16,375
Well fine.

743
00:47:18,916 --> 00:47:19,916
What is that?

744
00:47:19,916 --> 00:47:20,750
Asthma?

745
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,250
And where's your inhaler?

746
00:47:27,291 --> 00:47:29,666
Only one of us is allowed
to die in this house,

747
00:47:29,666 --> 00:47:30,541
and that's me.

748
00:47:31,625 --> 00:47:33,375
I'll kill you if you die before me.

749
00:47:35,416 --> 00:47:36,750
Yeah, it's after seven.

750
00:47:37,083 --> 00:47:38,125
Hurry up.

751
00:47:38,208 --> 00:47:39,041
Yes sir.

752
00:47:40,416 --> 00:47:45,000
[Elijah] For the decentralisation
of health policy.

753
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,125
Ah, he's an idiot.

754
00:47:47,125 --> 00:47:48,916
Didn't they say at the
last ECOWAS meeting

755
00:47:48,916 --> 00:47:52,500
that Nigeria has to
devolve centralized power?

756
00:47:52,500 --> 00:47:54,916
[Elijah] This was the best
thing that had happened to me

757
00:47:54,916 --> 00:47:57,500
in the nine months working with Mr. Timi.

758
00:47:57,500 --> 00:47:59,750
It was the first time I was sitting down

759
00:47:59,750 --> 00:48:01,125
when he was in the room.

760
00:48:01,125 --> 00:48:02,000
And even better,

761
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,666
I could hear him think. From that day on,

762
00:48:04,666 --> 00:48:09,375
I read to him every day at
breakfast and I learned so much.

763
00:48:09,375 --> 00:48:12,041
So I started ordering more papers.

764
00:48:12,041 --> 00:48:15,125
He didn't mind as long as
there was enough coffee.

765
00:48:15,125 --> 00:48:20,166
He would sit there till lunchtime,
and talk more about Nigeria.

766
00:48:20,500 --> 00:48:22,500
[uplifting music]

767
00:48:22,500 --> 00:48:27,125
Then I added magazines, Time
magazines, business magazines.

768
00:48:27,125 --> 00:48:28,916
Even the gossip ones.

769
00:48:28,916 --> 00:48:32,250
He just wanted to talk
and I wanted to learn.

770
00:48:33,791 --> 00:48:35,291
Soon he was telling stories

771
00:48:35,291 --> 00:48:37,500
about other countries he had been to,

772
00:48:37,500 --> 00:48:39,625
and things he had seen
when he was younger.

773
00:48:41,041 --> 00:48:44,791
[uplifting music continues]

774
00:48:47,625 --> 00:48:49,625
Anna wanted to meet Mr. Timi.

775
00:48:49,625 --> 00:48:52,666
Anna was getting
impatient with my excuses.

776
00:48:52,666 --> 00:48:55,625
She kept saying one day she
would just knock on that door.

777
00:49:01,875 --> 00:49:04,625
First problem was that she did knock.

778
00:49:04,625 --> 00:49:08,000
[knocking on door]

779
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:09,166
Bigger problem...

780
00:49:09,166 --> 00:49:10,250
[knocking on door]

781
00:49:10,250 --> 00:49:13,250
was that she knocked when I
went to buy Mr. Timi some eggs.

782
00:49:14,416 --> 00:49:15,250
[knocking on door]

783
00:49:15,250 --> 00:49:16,125
Third problem.

784
00:49:17,416 --> 00:49:18,500
Good morning, sir,

785
00:49:18,500 --> 00:49:19,541
I'm Anna Amachree.

786
00:49:19,541 --> 00:49:21,416
I don't care.

787
00:49:21,416 --> 00:49:24,125
[door slamming]

788
00:49:24,125 --> 00:49:27,250
[soft piano music]

789
00:49:27,250 --> 00:49:30,125
[pounding on door]

790
00:49:31,791 --> 00:49:35,125
[tense music]

791
00:49:35,125 --> 00:49:37,625
[cocking gun]

792
00:49:39,791 --> 00:49:42,875
[high-tension music]

793
00:49:45,791 --> 00:49:48,500
[Anna gasping]

794
00:49:51,541 --> 00:49:54,250
[Timi grunts]

795
00:49:57,750 --> 00:49:59,166
[eggs splatter]

796
00:50:01,333 --> 00:50:02,291
Hi.

797
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:04,916
[Elijah rasps]

798
00:50:05,500 --> 00:50:09,041
[gentle music]

799
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:11,250
A few days later,

800
00:50:11,250 --> 00:50:14,541
she convinced me that since
she had already met Mr. Timi,

801
00:50:14,541 --> 00:50:16,000
he wouldn't mind her coming around.

802
00:50:16,250 --> 00:50:17,375
[Timi clears throat]

803
00:50:19,583 --> 00:50:20,875
[Elijah rasps]

804
00:50:21,500 --> 00:50:23,875
[soft music]

805
00:50:25,625 --> 00:50:27,375
[inhaler hissing]

806
00:50:27,375 --> 00:50:28,333
Excuse me.

807
00:50:34,500 --> 00:50:38,500
- She was right.
- [pensive music]

808
00:50:38,500 --> 00:50:42,000
[both laughing]

809
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:43,541
She would help me with everything

810
00:50:43,541 --> 00:50:45,000
so I could get done quicker

811
00:50:45,875 --> 00:50:47,875
and we could spend more time together.

812
00:50:47,875 --> 00:50:51,625
It had been many months,
and I knew she wanted more.

813
00:50:51,625 --> 00:50:53,125
I did too.

814
00:50:53,125 --> 00:50:54,916
But she respected my faith,

815
00:50:54,916 --> 00:50:58,416
which only made me love her
more, and then want her more.

816
00:50:58,416 --> 00:50:59,666
I was going quite mad.

817
00:51:01,416 --> 00:51:04,500
[gentle piano music]

818
00:51:09,875 --> 00:51:13,750
[gentle piano music continues]

819
00:51:19,500 --> 00:51:21,625
[gentle piano music continues]

820
00:51:21,625 --> 00:51:24,916
[projector whirring]

821
00:51:24,916 --> 00:51:27,333
[Timi] How dare you! You ever come...

822
00:51:28,375 --> 00:51:31,125
[dramatic music]

823
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:41,666
[dramatic music]

824
00:51:48,375 --> 00:51:51,875
[solemn music]

825
00:51:53,166 --> 00:52:00,166
[solemn music continues]

826
00:52:06,541 --> 00:52:10,875
[solemn music continues]

827
00:52:13,250 --> 00:52:15,875
I want to watch all this.

828
00:52:15,875 --> 00:52:17,000
Can we set it up?

829
00:52:21,875 --> 00:52:25,125
Sir, you can't watch it like this.

830
00:52:25,125 --> 00:52:28,791
We have to take it to Lagos
to be put on a film projector

831
00:52:28,791 --> 00:52:30,666
and that might take almost a month.

832
00:52:30,666 --> 00:52:32,125
A month?

833
00:52:32,125 --> 00:52:33,250
No, no, no.

834
00:52:33,250 --> 00:52:35,000
There must be something we can do.

835
00:52:36,750 --> 00:52:39,416
Maybe we can get a different projector.

836
00:52:39,416 --> 00:52:41,000
Then that's what we will do.

837
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:42,000
Today?

838
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,000
Now.

839
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:44,041
Me and you?

840
00:52:44,041 --> 00:52:46,500
Yes, you and I, you can drive us there.

841
00:52:46,500 --> 00:52:47,541
What?

842
00:52:47,958 --> 00:52:49,291
[Elijah rasping]

843
00:52:49,375 --> 00:52:52,166
[inhaler hissing]

844
00:52:53,166 --> 00:52:54,166
What's wrong?

845
00:52:54,166 --> 00:52:56,416
I, I can't drive sir.

846
00:52:57,416 --> 00:52:58,416
You can't drive?

847
00:52:59,625 --> 00:53:00,625
Yes sir.

848
00:53:02,625 --> 00:53:03,666
You can't drive.

849
00:53:07,041 --> 00:53:08,500
Meet me outside now.

850
00:53:08,583 --> 00:53:09,500
Okay, sir.

851
00:53:09,500 --> 00:53:10,375
[Timi] Can't drive.

852
00:53:10,458 --> 00:53:11,791
[laughing]

853
00:53:15,250 --> 00:53:16,125
Right.

854
00:53:23,041 --> 00:53:24,000
[car trying to start]

855
00:53:24,083 --> 00:53:24,958
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

856
00:53:26,500 --> 00:53:28,916
You have to ensure you know everything

857
00:53:28,916 --> 00:53:31,125
about a car before you start using it.

858
00:53:32,041 --> 00:53:33,250
Just like a woman.

859
00:53:33,250 --> 00:53:35,416
You have to be delicate.

860
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:38,625
[Elijah] It started off great.

861
00:53:42,166 --> 00:53:44,916
Right now, no, put it in first gear.

862
00:53:44,916 --> 00:53:46,916
Clutch down, put it in first gear.

863
00:53:46,916 --> 00:53:50,125
It was all downhill from there.

864
00:53:50,125 --> 00:53:51,041
First gear.

865
00:53:54,416 --> 00:53:55,750
Look, are you daft?

866
00:53:55,750 --> 00:53:58,750
Put it in first gear, even
an imbecile can do that.

867
00:53:58,750 --> 00:53:59,666
I'm trying Mr. Timi.

868
00:53:59,666 --> 00:54:01,791
Clutch down and put it into first gear.

869
00:54:01,791 --> 00:54:03,750
- Do I...?
- Will you just do it?

870
00:54:03,750 --> 00:54:05,125
[car starting]

871
00:54:05,125 --> 00:54:06,041
What the bloody hell?

872
00:54:06,041 --> 00:54:07,750
Do you wanna spoil the car? Is that it?

873
00:54:07,750 --> 00:54:08,625
No. No.

874
00:54:09,416 --> 00:54:10,416
It's just that.

875
00:54:10,416 --> 00:54:11,250
What?

876
00:54:11,250 --> 00:54:12,916
Mr. Timi was
the worst teacher ever.

877
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:13,833
Again.

878
00:54:13,916 --> 00:54:14,750
[car starting]

879
00:54:14,750 --> 00:54:16,500
[Elijah] After the
shouting came the hitting.

880
00:54:16,500 --> 00:54:17,666
Look, just get it right.

881
00:54:17,666 --> 00:54:20,750
Are you an idiot? Put
it in first gear, now.

882
00:54:20,750 --> 00:54:21,625
No, that's not it.

883
00:54:21,625 --> 00:54:22,791
Get away.

884

Stupido. Idiota.

[speaking in foreign language]

888
00:54:41,625 --> 00:54:43,625
Damn it. Listen, drive.

889
00:54:43,625 --> 00:54:44,583
Drive this car,

890
00:54:44,666 --> 00:54:47,166
or I will kill you if
you don't drive this car.

891
00:54:47,250 --> 00:54:48,083
Drive it.

892
00:54:48,166 --> 00:54:49,208
I'm trying sir.

00:54:49,291 --> 00:54:50,416
Clutch down and put it in first gear.

Are you stupid? Drive it.

896
00:54:53,250 --> 00:54:54,750
Oh God.

[car engine starts]

898
00:54:56,458 --> 00:55:00,250
Drive.

899
00:55:00,250 --> 00:55:02,625
Clutch down and drive it.

00:55:02,625 --> 00:55:04,250
[soft music]

901
00:55:04,250 --> 00:55:06,125
- Drive.
- It's moving.

902
00:55:06,125 --> 00:55:07,000
It's moving.

903
00:55:07,083 --> 00:55:11,750
You're doing it boy, you're moving it,
you're not useless after all.

904
00:55:11,750 --> 00:55:12,666
Should I stop?

905
00:55:12,750 --> 00:55:14,375
No no, are you crazy, don't stop.

906
00:55:14,375 --> 00:55:16,125
Clutch down and put it into gear two.

907
00:55:18,625 --> 00:55:19,625
Yes!

908
00:55:19,625 --> 00:55:21,000
You're doing it boy!

909
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:21,875
You're doing it.

It's moving sir.

00:55:22,875 --> 00:55:24,291
Yes, it's moving.

912

It's moving sir.

913
00:55:25,416 --> 00:55:26,583
Yes, yes!

915
00:55:44,416 --> 00:55:45,250
Go on.

916
00:55:54,666 --> 00:55:56,416
So, you and Anna,

917
00:55:56,875 --> 00:55:59,625
how does your friend
up there feel about that?

918
00:56:00,625 --> 00:56:02,500
Oh, we haven't done anything.

919
00:56:02,500 --> 00:56:05,250
You've been together for
a year and you haven't.

920
00:56:07,541 --> 00:56:10,416
- [Elijah] Mr Timi.
- [Timi laughing]

921
00:56:11,541 --> 00:56:12,541
It's not funny, sir.

922
00:56:16,750 --> 00:56:18,125
Okay, okay, okay.

923
00:56:20,416 --> 00:56:21,250
You love her?

924
00:56:22,375 --> 00:56:23,875
Very much.

925
00:56:23,875 --> 00:56:24,875
I want to marry her.

926
00:56:25,791 --> 00:56:26,625
Then?

927
00:56:29,250 --> 00:56:30,916
I...I...I can't.

928
00:56:30,916 --> 00:56:32,541
Now why don't you want to do more?

929
00:56:32,541 --> 00:56:35,125
Is it because the Bible says it's bad?

930
00:56:36,750 --> 00:56:37,791
Well, the Bible does say it...

931
00:56:37,791 --> 00:56:39,625
Will you shut up about that?

932
00:56:40,500 --> 00:56:43,500
If you love her, wanna spend
the rest of your life with her,

933
00:56:43,500 --> 00:56:45,750
who cares what some
3000 year old book says?

934
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:52,250
[soft piano music]

935
00:56:52,250 --> 00:56:55,250
Bridgette was the only
woman I was ever with.

936
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,750
You know, we waited until we got married.

937
00:57:00,750 --> 00:57:02,125
Yeah.

938
00:57:02,125 --> 00:57:03,166
That night was...

939
00:57:05,291 --> 00:57:06,125
magical.

940
00:57:09,125 --> 00:57:10,625
But we decided together.

941
00:57:12,541 --> 00:57:14,750
Talk to Anna. Tell her how you feel.

942
00:57:17,416 --> 00:57:18,250
I want to.

943
00:57:20,125 --> 00:57:24,041
I mean, it's all I think
about, but I know it's wrong.

944
00:57:24,041 --> 00:57:26,166
Oh for God's sakes, man.

945
00:57:26,166 --> 00:57:29,625
I'm not talking about
what you think God wants from you.

946
00:57:29,625 --> 00:57:32,000
I'm talking about how you feel in here.

947
00:57:34,416 --> 00:57:35,250
What?

948
00:57:38,125 --> 00:57:39,666
What's the matter with you?

949
00:57:39,666 --> 00:57:40,750
You called His name.

950
00:57:41,375 --> 00:57:42,333
What?

951
00:57:42,416 --> 00:57:43,250
Twice, God.

952
00:57:43,333 --> 00:57:44,166
Did I?

953
00:57:44,250 --> 00:57:45,208
Yes. Yes.

954
00:57:45,291 --> 00:57:48,416
You called God two times
Mr. Timi. [laughing]

955
00:57:49,375 --> 00:57:52,833
You called God two times.

956
00:57:53,625 --> 00:57:54,583
[Elijah laughing]

957
00:57:54,833 --> 00:57:57,541
He called God, twice.

958
00:57:57,541 --> 00:57:58,625
- Twice.
- All right.

959
00:57:58,625 --> 00:57:59,916
You called...

960
00:58:00,250 --> 00:58:04,000
[singing]

961
00:58:04,125 --> 00:58:05,166
Are you okay?

962
00:58:05,791 --> 00:58:07,666
Are you going to start a church now
in the middle of nowhere?

963
00:58:08,625 --> 00:58:11,000
You said God, twice.

964
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:12,625
You did.

965
00:58:12,625 --> 00:58:14,000
[Timi] See you at home.

966
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:15,875
[Elijah] Wait, wait.

967
00:58:15,875 --> 00:58:19,250
[soft orchestral music]

968
00:58:20,375 --> 00:58:21,416
[Timi] Winner indeed.

969
00:58:22,375 --> 00:58:25,250
[Elijah] Lagos had sent
the projector to us.

970
00:58:25,250 --> 00:58:27,500
And Mr. Timi's evening ritual changed.

971
00:58:28,500 --> 00:58:30,750
He didn't sit in a room and cry anymore.

972
00:58:31,666 --> 00:58:35,500
Instead, he watched videos
of his wife and daughter

973
00:58:35,500 --> 00:58:38,250
and he would tell us stories of that time.

974
00:58:38,250 --> 00:58:39,916
It typically made Anna cry,

975
00:58:40,875 --> 00:58:44,416
but at least now he was happy
when he thought of his family.

976
00:58:46,041 --> 00:58:50,416
[romantic orchestral music]

977
00:58:52,166 --> 00:58:55,250
Anna, your eggs are much
better than his, by the way.

978
00:58:55,250 --> 00:58:56,750
Thank you, Mr. Johnson.

979
00:58:59,125 --> 00:59:00,541
So, Elijah...

980
00:59:01,333 --> 00:59:02,750
[cutlery clanking]

981
00:59:03,541 --> 00:59:04,416
what's the matter?

982
00:59:04,416 --> 00:59:06,625
[Elijah] It was the first
time he didn't call me, boy.

983
00:59:06,625 --> 00:59:09,375
After over a year of living with Mr. Timi.

984
00:59:09,375 --> 00:59:11,000
Nothing sir.

985
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:12,750
He called my name.

986
00:59:12,750 --> 00:59:14,541
If you don't know how to drive.

987
00:59:14,541 --> 00:59:16,625
How were you getting into town every day?

988
00:59:17,750 --> 00:59:19,291
I could show you, sir.

989
00:59:19,291 --> 00:59:20,125
[Anna] No.

990
00:59:21,875 --> 00:59:22,750
No!

991
00:59:24,125 --> 00:59:25,750
I insist.

992
00:59:25,750 --> 00:59:29,000
Maybe it was because
he knew he couldn't die.

993
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:33,541
Or maybe for the first time
in years he just felt free.

994
00:59:33,541 --> 00:59:37,375
Mr. Timi was finding a
reason to live again.

995
00:59:37,375 --> 00:59:41,916
[uplifting music]

996
00:59:41,916 --> 00:59:43,208
Four eggs.

997
00:59:43,625 --> 00:59:45,125
[Elijah rasps]

998
00:59:46,041 --> 00:59:46,916
What do you want?

999
00:59:48,625 --> 00:59:50,291
Come on, come on, come on out with it.

1000
00:59:50,291 --> 00:59:51,625
I wanna get to my papers.

1001
00:59:51,708 --> 00:59:52,791
[Elijah inhales]

1002
00:59:58,791 --> 01:00:00,541
Uhm, I...

1003
01:00:01,125 --> 01:00:03,875
I wanted to ask for a neck tie.

1004
01:00:03,875 --> 01:00:05,666
What do you want a neck tie for?

1005
01:00:05,666 --> 01:00:07,125
You have another job that you're going to.

1006
01:00:07,125 --> 01:00:08,000
Oh, no sir.

1007
01:00:09,666 --> 01:00:12,666
Anna has invited me to her house for lunch

1008
01:00:12,666 --> 01:00:14,291
to meet her parents.

1009
01:00:14,291 --> 01:00:16,125
And I would like to make
a good impression, sir.

1010
01:00:16,125 --> 01:00:18,750
Anyway, I'll think about it.

1011
01:00:18,750 --> 01:00:19,625
Thank you, sir.

1012
01:00:21,083 --> 01:00:22,833
The news is not gonna read itself.

1013
01:00:22,916 --> 01:00:24,583
Oh, of course.

1014
01:00:24,666 --> 01:00:27,166
[soft music]

1015
01:00:29,791 --> 01:00:33,250
Sir, do you need anything sir?

1016
01:00:33,250 --> 01:00:41,208
[bright music]

1017
01:00:46,625 --> 01:00:47,916
Now this...

1018
01:00:48,916 --> 01:00:51,291
this says you can achieve anything

1019
01:00:51,291 --> 01:00:52,625
that you put your mind to.

1020
01:00:55,041 --> 01:00:55,875
This...

1021
01:00:56,875 --> 01:00:59,000
This says you belong here.

1022
01:01:03,541 --> 01:01:05,750
So, what do you want to say?

1023
01:01:05,750 --> 01:01:08,375
[bright music]

1024
01:01:13,875 --> 01:01:17,375
[bright music continues]

1025
01:01:21,875 --> 01:01:23,250
[Anna] I love your tie.

1026
01:01:23,250 --> 01:01:24,125
Nice touch.

1027
01:01:25,041 --> 01:01:25,875
Thank you.

1028
01:01:27,375 --> 01:01:29,958
[Elijah and Anna laugh]

1029
01:01:32,791 --> 01:01:35,291
Good day ma'am.

1030
01:01:39,125 --> 01:01:41,916
He'll soon be here Elijah,
Sorry for the wait.

1031
01:01:41,916 --> 01:01:42,750
Oh no.

1032
01:01:42,750 --> 01:01:45,000
It's a luxury to be able to wait

1033
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,250
in your beautiful home, ma'am.

1034
01:01:47,250 --> 01:01:52,125
So, you both have been
spending a lot of time together.

1035
01:01:52,125 --> 01:01:53,916
Not that much time, Mum.

1036
01:01:53,916 --> 01:01:55,250
Every day is not so much?

1037
01:01:58,375 --> 01:02:00,625
Anna's very special, ma'am.

1038
01:02:00,625 --> 01:02:02,875
And I thank God that He
finds me fit to be able

1039
01:02:02,875 --> 01:02:05,500
to walk this journey with
someone who I learned from.

1040
01:02:05,500 --> 01:02:08,750
And I pray that she finds
value in this journey as well.

1041
01:02:09,875 --> 01:02:11,500
Oh my. [laughing]

1042
01:02:11,500 --> 01:02:14,541
What a response. [laughing]

1043
01:02:14,541 --> 01:02:15,875
I told you he was great.

1044
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:20,500
Oh, Dad's here.

1045
01:02:22,375 --> 01:02:23,875
[Anna] Breathe, he's going to love you.

1046
01:02:23,875 --> 01:02:25,375
She's her daddy's girl.

1047
01:02:25,375 --> 01:02:27,750
But, I'm sure you'll get along.

1048
01:02:27,750 --> 01:02:30,666
So what work do you do?

1049
01:02:30,666 --> 01:02:34,416
I manage the home for
the Johnson's estate.

1050
01:02:34,416 --> 01:02:35,666
Hmm, what Johnson?

1051
01:02:36,916 --> 01:02:38,375
[Elijah] Mr. Timi Johnson.

1052
01:02:39,625 --> 01:02:40,666
Timi Johnson.

1053
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:43,500
What home?

1054
01:02:43,500 --> 01:02:44,541
The one here in town?

1055
01:02:45,750 --> 01:02:48,416
Yes ma'am, I'm the house manager.

1056
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:53,041
Are you the young man trying
to start a local church?

1057
01:02:53,041 --> 01:02:54,250
Oh yes, ma'am.

1058
01:02:55,375 --> 01:02:57,291
Actually it's just Bible study for now.

1059
01:02:57,291 --> 01:03:00,875
We hope to expand to
full blown service soon.

1060
01:03:00,875 --> 01:03:02,083
Dear God.

1061
01:03:10,041 --> 01:03:12,500
[Anna] Daddy, meet Elijah.

1062
01:03:14,166 --> 01:03:17,625

manager for Timi Johnson.

[tense music]

1064
01:03:22,375 --> 01:03:24,583
Good day, sir.

1065
01:03:27,500 --> 01:03:29,875
I didn't know you were Anna's father.

1066
01:03:29,875 --> 01:03:31,625
I sent you a letter, sir.

1067
01:03:31,625 --> 01:03:32,666
Now look here boy.

1068
01:03:34,166 --> 01:03:36,500
I think you better start going right now.

1069
01:03:37,500 --> 01:03:38,541
Get out.

1070
01:03:38,541 --> 01:03:41,125
[tense music]

1071
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:44,416
Thank you very much ma'am,

1072
01:03:44,416 --> 01:03:46,291
for having me in your beautiful home.

1073
01:03:46,291 --> 01:03:47,750
I have to take my leave now.

1074
01:03:49,250 --> 01:03:50,250
It was a pleasure, sir.

1075
01:03:51,791 --> 01:03:53,000
[Anna] What?

1076
01:03:54,500 --> 01:03:55,375
I'm so sorry Anna,

1077
01:03:55,375 --> 01:03:57,291
something urgent just came in,
I need to attend to.

1078
01:03:57,291 --> 01:03:59,291
Elijah, Elijah, wait.

1079
01:03:59,291 --> 01:04:00,750
Come back here.

1080
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:03,791
I need to talk to you right now.

1081
01:04:04,916 --> 01:04:06,000
Sit down.

1082
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,625

1084
01:04:14,541 --> 01:04:15,375
Hmm?

1085
01:04:16,500 --> 01:04:19,625
This is what you have been
encouraging her to do.

1086
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,750
Bring a house boy into my house.

1087
01:04:23,750 --> 01:04:24,750
[Anna] Dad, he's a house manager.

1088
01:04:24,750 --> 01:04:26,625
Will you shut up!

1089
01:04:26,625 --> 01:04:28,125
That is the little rat

1090
01:04:28,125 --> 01:04:30,750
that is trying to stop the hotel project.

1091
01:04:30,750 --> 01:04:36,291
Now listen, he must never set
foot into this house again.

1094
01:04:43,375 --> 01:04:45,000
You must not see him again.

1095
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,625
You're the one trying
to destroy the church?

1096
01:04:47,625 --> 01:04:50,125
[Chief Amachree] You will not see
that house boy again.

1097
01:04:52,375 --> 01:04:53,500
Dad, I'm 23 years old.

1098
01:04:53,500 --> 01:04:55,875
You can't tell me who
I can and cannot see.

1099
01:04:55,875 --> 01:04:57,250
Don't test me, Anna.

1100
01:04:58,625 --> 01:05:00,625
[Elijah] My church and my girl.

1101
01:05:01,958 --> 01:05:04,250
The two things I care about the most,

1102
01:05:04,250 --> 01:05:05,791
in the hands of one man.

1103
01:05:05,791 --> 01:05:09,291
A man who didn't respect God
much less a house boy.

1104
01:05:09,916 --> 01:05:11,708
No matter what neck-tie he wears.

1105
01:05:13,875 --> 01:05:15,375
Anna.

1106
01:05:15,375 --> 01:05:16,500
Anna.

1107
01:05:16,500 --> 01:05:17,625
Elijah.

1108
01:05:17,625 --> 01:05:20,250
[sombre music]

1109
01:05:27,125 --> 01:05:30,541
[sombre music continues]

1110
01:05:32,250 --> 01:05:34,416
[door slams open]

1111
01:05:35,291 --> 01:05:39,416
[tense music]

1112
01:05:44,625 --> 01:05:46,125
What are you people doing here?

1113
01:05:46,125 --> 01:05:48,625
Do you realise this is private property?

1114
01:05:51,166 --> 01:05:52,041
Good day, sir.

1115
01:05:52,625 --> 01:05:53,500
Uhm...

1116
01:05:53,500 --> 01:05:56,125
Sorry sir, I mean no trouble.

1117
01:05:56,125 --> 01:05:57,250
So why are you here?

1118
01:05:57,250 --> 01:05:58,750
This is private property.

1119
01:05:58,750 --> 01:06:02,125
Actually sir, it belongs to the state,

1120
01:06:02,125 --> 01:06:03,625
and by proxy the community.

1121
01:06:03,625 --> 01:06:05,416
And I have written
letter to the state house

1122
01:06:05,416 --> 01:06:07,625
to give us permission to use it

1123
01:06:07,625 --> 01:06:11,416
as venue for
church services and Bible study.

1124
01:06:11,416 --> 01:06:14,625
Honestly sir, I mean no
disrespect whatsoever.

1125
01:06:14,625 --> 01:06:15,875
That is why I also wrote you a letter

1126
01:06:15,875 --> 01:06:19,250
to please reconsider
your plans of demolition.

1127
01:06:19,250 --> 01:06:21,291
And I attached the state response with it.

1128
01:06:28,125 --> 01:06:32,791
Of course I received your
senseless and stupid letter.

1129
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:35,791
What the state did not tell you

1130
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:41,125
is that there is an unpaid land use charge

1131
01:06:42,625 --> 01:06:43,791
on this land,

1132
01:06:43,791 --> 01:06:48,125
which is older than you or even
any one of you seated here.

1133
01:06:49,625 --> 01:06:53,250
It has accrued interest

1134
01:06:53,250 --> 01:06:57,416
to the tune of 49 million
naira, which I have paid.

1135
01:06:59,250 --> 01:07:00,375
In essence,

1136
01:07:01,250 --> 01:07:04,000
this land belongs to me,

1137
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:07,291
and by proxy, the building.

1138
01:07:09,250 --> 01:07:11,875
Here.

1139
01:07:11,875 --> 01:07:14,750
[people exclaim]

1140
01:07:14,750 --> 01:07:16,791

[sombre music]

1142
01:07:21,125 --> 01:07:24,291
Except you can pay me in 90 days.

1143
01:07:25,750 --> 01:07:28,916
You will quit this foolishness
that you are doing here.

1144
01:07:31,791 --> 01:07:33,125
Do you not fear God sir?

1145
01:07:38,625 --> 01:07:39,916
Yes.

1146
01:07:39,916 --> 01:07:41,750
My God has money.

1147
01:07:41,750 --> 01:07:43,250
Our God has money, too.

1148
01:07:43,250 --> 01:07:45,250
Not 49,000,000.

1149
01:07:50,041 --> 01:07:51,125
90 days boy.

1150
01:07:52,250 --> 01:07:53,291
90 days.

1151
01:07:53,291 --> 01:07:56,416
[tense music]

1152
01:07:56,416 --> 01:07:59,250
[Elijah rasping]

1153
01:08:03,875 --> 01:08:07,250
[tense music continues]

01:08:08,083 --> 01:08:11,458

01:08:13,250 --> 01:08:16,250
[soft piano music]

1156
01:08:17,916 --> 01:08:22,916
I didn't know. [crying]

1157
01:08:24,250 --> 01:08:26,125
- I didn't know.
- I know.

1158
01:08:26,125 --> 01:08:27,666
I'm sorry I couldn't
make it here last week.

1159
01:08:27,666 --> 01:08:30,125
My dad has been watching me like a hawk.

1160
01:08:30,125 --> 01:08:32,416
I wasn't sure you would come.

1161
01:08:32,416 --> 01:08:35,250
I can't believe my dad is
trying to destroy the church.

1162
01:08:36,125 --> 01:08:37,125
We have to stop him.

1163
01:08:38,375 --> 01:08:40,041
But how?

1164
01:08:41,125 --> 01:08:42,250
I don't know.

1165
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:44,500
He won't even listen to me.

1166
01:08:45,541 --> 01:08:47,125
Well, I'm sure he won't.

1167
01:08:47,125 --> 01:08:49,750
Not after he has invested
49 million naira into it.

1168
01:08:50,750 --> 01:08:52,250
What?

1169
01:08:52,250 --> 01:08:53,500
He came to Bible study yesterday.

1170
01:08:53,500 --> 01:08:57,125
To threaten you.

1171
01:08:57,125 --> 01:08:58,791
Actually he made an offer.

1172
01:08:59,791 --> 01:09:02,500
If I can come up with his
49 million naira in 90 days,

1173
01:09:02,500 --> 01:09:04,375
he'll let the building go.

1174
01:09:04,375 --> 01:09:06,416
But he knows that we can't, so.

1175
01:09:06,416 --> 01:09:07,250
Says who?

1176
01:09:08,916 --> 01:09:09,916
What if we raise it?

1177
01:09:11,125 --> 01:09:12,750
People do it all the time.

1178
01:09:12,750 --> 01:09:15,000
Anna, look around you,
not in a place like this.

1179
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,375
Every kobo counts, so we have to try.

1180
01:09:18,875 --> 01:09:21,375
[soft music]

1181
01:09:25,666 --> 01:09:26,500
What?

1182
01:09:28,791 --> 01:09:29,875
There's one person.

1183
01:09:33,750 --> 01:09:34,583
No.

1184
01:09:34,666 --> 01:09:35,625
[Anna] Elijah, please.

1185
01:09:35,625 --> 01:09:37,041
Anna, no.

1186
01:09:37,041 --> 01:09:39,791
[soft music]

1187
01:09:42,916 --> 01:09:43,750
Okay.

1188
01:09:52,500 --> 01:09:54,166
My dad is a businessman, right?

1189
01:09:56,250 --> 01:09:59,250
What if we show him a
business plan for the church?

1190
01:09:59,250 --> 01:10:01,791
You know, tithes,

1191
01:10:01,791 --> 01:10:04,250
offerings, merchandise, camps.

1192
01:10:04,250 --> 01:10:06,250
Show him that the church
can really be profitable

1193
01:10:06,250 --> 01:10:07,125
if you're partners.

1194
01:10:07,125 --> 01:10:09,875
Anna, stop.
What are you talking about?

1195
01:10:09,875 --> 01:10:11,625
This is not some business venture for me.

1196
01:10:11,625 --> 01:10:13,791
This is what I'm supposed
to do with my life.

1197
01:10:13,791 --> 01:10:15,125
I know my love.

1198
01:10:16,250 --> 01:10:18,875
I'm just trying to suggest something.

1199
01:10:19,791 --> 01:10:20,916
You can't give up.

1200
01:10:23,416 --> 01:10:25,125
Did you just call me your love?

1201
01:10:25,125 --> 01:10:26,208
[hissing]

1202
01:10:26,208 --> 01:10:28,750
It's just an expression.

1203
01:10:31,750 --> 01:10:33,125
But this isn't.

1204
01:10:33,541 --> 01:10:36,750
[soft piano music]

1205
01:10:36,750 --> 01:10:38,000

[soft piano music]

1207
01:10:39,916 --> 01:10:40,875
I love you.

[upbeat music continues]

1212
01:11:27,791 --> 01:11:29,291
[Timi] Hello.

1213
01:11:29,375 --> 01:11:30,958
Coker.

1214
01:11:31,041 --> 01:11:32,666
How are you?

1215
01:11:32,750 --> 01:11:37,750
Listen, I want all the legal
books that you can find

1216
01:11:38,500 --> 01:11:40,125
on colonial real estate.

1217
01:11:42,166 --> 01:11:44,375
Mm-hm.

1218
01:11:44,375 --> 01:11:47,625
Yeah. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, by morning.

1219
01:11:47,625 --> 01:11:49,166
Okay, thank you.

1220
01:11:53,000 --> 01:12:00,875
[pensive music]

1221
01:12:04,125 --> 01:12:07,750
[pensive music continues]

1222
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:12,500
Thank you Elijah, thank you.

1223
01:12:16,250 --> 01:12:18,000
Well, son...

1224
01:12:19,791 --> 01:12:20,833
really very sorry...

1225
01:12:22,041 --> 01:12:26,125
but I almost got sacked in
there for bringing it up at all.

1226
01:12:26,125 --> 01:12:27,250
How can he say no?

1227
01:12:28,666 --> 01:12:30,916
We only have two weeks left.

1228
01:12:30,916 --> 01:12:33,250
Well, it's not all bad news.

1229
01:12:34,750 --> 01:12:37,750
He's agreed to let you have
one year salary in advance.

1230
01:12:37,750 --> 01:12:39,250
That's barely half a million.

1231
01:12:40,875 --> 01:12:44,250
Plus whatever
her mother is giving, yes?

1232
01:12:45,166 --> 01:12:48,000
And of course I'm happy to
throw in a million of my own.

1233
01:12:48,791 --> 01:12:51,000
That's really kind of
you sir, I appreciate.

1234
01:12:51,083 --> 01:12:52,041
Right.

1235
01:12:52,125 --> 01:12:55,541
And that would get us to five million

1236
01:12:55,541 --> 01:12:59,000
and we still need to get up to 49 million.

1237
01:13:00,666 --> 01:13:01,666
[exhales]

1238
01:13:05,625 --> 01:13:06,875

[sad piano music]

1240
01:13:08,541 --> 01:13:09,375

alea iacta est.
[there's no stopping this]

1242
01:13:18,916 --> 01:13:20,416
Thank you very much sir for even trying.

1243
01:13:20,791 --> 01:13:22,916
Mmhm.

1244
01:13:23,916 --> 01:13:26,875
[sad piano music]

1245
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:37,625
It is just me.

1246
01:13:37,625 --> 01:13:39,916
Elijah is far too kind
to ask you directly.

1247
01:13:44,541 --> 01:13:48,125
I can't believe you
won't give him the money.

1248
01:13:48,125 --> 01:13:50,000
What kind of a man are you?

1249
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:51,750
This doesn't concern you, young lady.

1250
01:13:51,750 --> 01:13:54,625
Elijah has dedicated his life to you.

1251
01:13:54,625 --> 01:13:57,250
He does everything for you.

1252
01:13:57,250 --> 01:13:58,750
Let's not mention how his salary in a year

1253
01:13:58,750 --> 01:14:03,750
is barely enough to replace
his bicycle, but that's Elijah.

1254
01:14:05,625 --> 01:14:08,250
He doesn't want more money for a fancy car

1255
01:14:08,250 --> 01:14:09,291
or a house of his own.

1256
01:14:09,291 --> 01:14:12,750
He wants money to save a church.

1257
01:14:12,750 --> 01:14:15,250
A church that by the way
you built and pastored.

1258
01:14:17,250 --> 01:14:18,125
From what I've heard,

1259
01:14:18,125 --> 01:14:20,750
50 million naira is a drop
in the bucket for you.

1260
01:14:25,375 --> 01:14:27,125
By the looks of things
you're not using your money.

1261
01:14:27,416 --> 01:14:29,000
So what do you want?

1262
01:14:30,416 --> 01:14:31,791
What do you want from him?

1263
01:14:31,791 --> 01:14:33,125
Why wouldn't you help him?

1264
01:14:37,541 --> 01:14:39,500
How can someone be so cruel?

1265
01:14:46,791 --> 01:14:49,125
You say you love your family,

1266
01:14:50,125 --> 01:14:51,625
and that you miss them.

1267
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:55,375
But I don't think so,

1268
01:15:00,500 --> 01:15:02,750
because I don't know how
somebody so heartless

1269
01:15:02,750 --> 01:15:04,458
- could love anybody.
- [Elijah] Anna!

1270
01:15:10,916 --> 01:15:13,125
I'm so sorry, sir.

1271
01:15:13,125 --> 01:15:16,750
[sombre orchestral music]

1272
01:15:25,250 --> 01:15:27,291
Anna, what is wrong with you?

1273
01:15:27,291 --> 01:15:29,250
Well, you were clearly
never going to say anything.

1274
01:15:29,250 --> 01:15:31,375
Then you thought that you should?

1275
01:15:31,375 --> 01:15:32,916
How do you feel if I came by your house

1276
01:15:32,916 --> 01:15:34,375
said insulting your father?

1277
01:15:36,083 --> 01:15:37,083
Babe.

1278
01:15:37,625 --> 01:15:39,041
He's not your father.

1279
01:15:39,041 --> 01:15:40,500
Isn't this proof of that?

1280
01:15:41,791 --> 01:15:42,750
You don't know him.

1281
01:15:43,125 --> 01:15:44,291
You don't know what that
man has been through.

1282
01:15:44,291 --> 01:15:46,250
Oh please, that was half a century ago.

1283
01:15:46,250 --> 01:15:47,625
It's not an excuse to lock yourself away

1284
01:15:47,625 --> 01:15:49,250
and act like you're not a human being.

1285
01:15:51,666 --> 01:15:54,916
Anna please, just stay out of this.

1286
01:15:54,916 --> 01:15:55,750
You think you're helping,

1287
01:15:55,750 --> 01:15:57,750
but you are only making things worse.

1288
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:00,500
I'm making things worse?

1289
01:16:00,500 --> 01:16:01,375
Me?

1290
01:16:01,625 --> 01:16:03,500
I'm the only one doing anything.

1291
01:16:05,541 --> 01:16:07,000
Babe,

1292
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:10,125
my dad is going to demolish
the church in two weeks.

1293
01:16:11,250 --> 01:16:12,750
How much money have you raised?

1294
01:16:17,500 --> 01:16:18,416
Money.

1295
01:16:18,416 --> 01:16:20,375
Money, money, money, money.

1296
01:16:20,375 --> 01:16:22,666
That's all people with
money ever think about.

1297
01:16:23,541 --> 01:16:25,500
You think I care about money?

1298
01:16:25,500 --> 01:16:26,375
If I cared about money

1299
01:16:26,375 --> 01:16:27,958
what the hell would I
be doing with someone...

1300
01:16:29,375 --> 01:16:33,916
[tense music]

1301
01:16:36,875 --> 01:16:39,166
What would you be doing
with someone like me?

1302
01:16:41,125 --> 01:16:43,625
[tense music]

1303
01:16:45,916 --> 01:16:46,750
It's true what they say,

1304
01:16:46,750 --> 01:16:48,625
the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

1305
01:16:49,625 --> 01:16:50,916
Your father does love money.

1306
01:16:51,916 --> 01:16:54,500
We need to sell the church for 49 million.

1307
01:16:54,500 --> 01:16:56,083
I wonder how much he'd
sell his own daughter?

1308
01:16:56,083 --> 01:16:56,958
[Anna slapping]

1309
01:16:57,625 --> 01:16:59,083
[Anna crying]

1310
01:17:00,083 --> 01:17:02,666
[sombre music]

1311
01:17:06,416 --> 01:17:09,791
[sombre music continues]

1312
01:17:21,625 --> 01:17:25,041
[sombre music continues]

1313
01:17:26,166 --> 01:17:29,375
[pensive piano music]

1314
01:17:35,125 --> 01:17:43,083
[pensive piano music continues]

1315
01:17:50,500 --> 01:17:54,916
[soft piano music]

1316
01:17:56,458 --> 01:17:59,458
[Anna sobs]

1317
01:18:01,791 --> 01:18:05,625
[soft piano music continues]

1318
01:18:07,458 --> 01:18:09,375
[soft piano music continues]

1319
01:18:23,666 --> 01:18:31,666
[soft piano music continues]

1320
01:18:41,708 --> 01:18:49,666
[soft piano music continues]

1321
01:18:56,583 --> 01:19:04,541
[soft piano music continues]

1322
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:15,500
[tea pouring]

1323
01:19:16,291 --> 01:19:19,791
[soft piano music fading]

1324
01:19:29,666 --> 01:19:31,375
- Sir.
- Hmm?

1325
01:19:31,375 --> 01:19:34,416
We have organised a protest

1326
01:19:34,416 --> 01:19:37,125
against the church demolition tomorrow.

1327
01:19:37,125 --> 01:19:39,416
I would make sure your breakfast is ready.

1328
01:19:39,416 --> 01:19:41,541
I would love to attend it if that is okay.

1329
01:19:42,416 --> 01:19:43,416
Sure.

1330
01:19:45,791 --> 01:19:46,625
You know...

1331
01:19:48,625 --> 01:19:53,375
in the late 20s when the
Aba women used to protest.

1332
01:19:54,625 --> 01:19:58,625
They burnt down all the colonial
structures in their town,

1333
01:19:59,750 --> 01:20:01,250
including the Barclay's Bank,

1334
01:20:02,541 --> 01:20:05,666
post office and even the magistrate court.

1335
01:20:07,375 --> 01:20:08,625
But they left the church.

1336
01:20:10,125 --> 01:20:12,875
Why would anyone want
to burn down a church?

1337
01:20:12,958 --> 01:20:14,083
Well,

1338
01:20:15,166 --> 01:20:16,000
they would have,

1339
01:20:17,875 --> 01:20:21,000
but they didn't know that
it belonged to the British.

1340
01:20:23,125 --> 01:20:26,750
They gave it to the locals, the Europeans.

1341
01:20:26,750 --> 01:20:29,625
And of course they didn't
use it, unlike the bank,

1342
01:20:29,625 --> 01:20:31,500
post office, court, et cetera.

1343
01:20:31,500 --> 01:20:36,291
But the land and the
building always and still

1344
01:20:36,291 --> 01:20:38,125
belongs to Her Majesty's government.

1345
01:20:39,416 --> 01:20:41,916
It seems the British
government did the same

1346
01:20:41,916 --> 01:20:43,875
in small towns across the south,

1347
01:20:45,291 --> 01:20:47,125
including this one.

1348
01:20:49,916 --> 01:20:52,041
[bright piano music]

1349
01:20:52,041 --> 01:20:56,125
I wonder what a good lawyer
like Coker will make of that.

1350
01:20:57,750 --> 01:21:00,500
Probably tell his friend in
the British High Commission.

1351
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:03,250
Maybe I'll give him a call.

1352
01:21:04,791 --> 01:21:09,250
[soft music]

1353
01:21:13,875 --> 01:21:16,916
I will take my coffee in the study.

1354
01:21:17,166 --> 01:21:18,375
[Elijah chuckles excitedly]

1355
01:21:19,791 --> 01:21:21,750
Nice eggs, today.

1356
01:21:21,750 --> 01:21:22,875
Thank you, sir.

1357
01:21:25,916 --> 01:21:29,125
[pensive piano music]

1358
01:21:37,750 --> 01:21:39,000
[knocking on door]

1359
01:21:39,083 --> 01:21:40,208
Mummy.

1360
01:21:42,375 --> 01:21:43,875
[pounding on door]

1361
01:21:43,958 --> 01:21:44,958
Mummy!

1362
01:21:47,083 --> 01:21:50,250
Mummy, open this door!

1363
01:21:50,250 --> 01:21:52,125
Open this door!

1364
01:21:52,125 --> 01:21:54,791
Let me out, let me out.

1365
01:21:54,791 --> 01:21:56,125
Open this door.

1366
01:21:57,125 --> 01:22:01,041
Open this door, open this
door, open this door!

1367
01:22:01,541 --> 01:22:05,708
[Anna crying]

1368
01:22:11,875 --> 01:22:13,375
Let me out!

1369
01:22:13,375 --> 01:22:14,875
[siren sounding]

1370
01:22:15,375 --> 01:22:16,416
[Chief Amachree] Come, come, come.

1371
01:22:18,916 --> 01:22:20,625
Know who has power.

1372
01:22:22,083 --> 01:22:22,958
Officer.

1373
01:22:24,708 --> 01:22:27,041
[church members scramble away]

1374
01:22:27,583 --> 01:22:29,708
Just go, just go.

1375
01:22:29,708 --> 01:22:32,708
Yes, get them out from here.

1376
01:22:33,416 --> 01:22:36,083
[villagers shouting]

1377
01:22:38,041 --> 01:22:40,708
[sombre music]

1378
01:22:42,416 --> 01:22:47,125
[Officer] You got 10 seconds
to get away from there, boy.

1379
01:22:47,125 --> 01:22:48,083
Ten.

1380
01:22:50,250 --> 01:22:51,125
Nine.

1381
01:22:53,500 --> 01:22:54,375
Eight.

1382
01:22:57,000 --> 01:22:57,875
Seven.

1383
01:23:00,416 --> 01:23:01,250
Six.

1384
01:23:03,791 --> 01:23:04,625
Five.

1385
01:23:06,250 --> 01:23:07,125
Four.

1386
01:23:09,916 --> 01:23:10,750
Three.

1387
01:23:13,250 --> 01:23:14,625
Two.

1388
01:23:14,625 --> 01:23:16,500
Go on break it.

1389
01:23:16,500 --> 01:23:17,750
One!

1390
01:23:17,750 --> 01:23:20,541
[Caterpillar rumbling]

1391
01:23:23,291 --> 01:23:24,416
Stop, stop.

1392
01:23:25,416 --> 01:23:26,250
Stop.

1393
01:23:28,416 --> 01:23:29,791
Who is this?

1394
01:23:29,791 --> 01:23:31,750
I'm from the British High Commission.

1395
01:23:33,666 --> 01:23:37,125
I have a stay document
from Lagos High Court,

1396
01:23:38,125 --> 01:23:39,750
the federal government of Nigeria,

1397
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:43,250
and Her Majesty's government,

1398
01:23:43,250 --> 01:23:45,875
that this building is not to be destroyed.

1399
01:23:45,875 --> 01:23:47,666
No, you cannot do that.

1400
01:23:47,666 --> 01:23:49,250
You cannot do that.

1401
01:23:49,250 --> 01:23:51,291
I paid the levies for this building.

1402
01:23:51,291 --> 01:23:53,000
It is now private property.

1403
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:55,375
You can't, you can't do that.

1404
01:23:55,375 --> 01:23:56,666
Oh yes we can.

1405
01:23:57,625 --> 01:24:00,291
This was your building, temporarily.

1406
01:24:00,291 --> 01:24:02,666
But it is now a national monument,

1407
01:24:03,875 --> 01:24:08,875
a museum, to be enjoyed by
the people as they see fit,

1408
01:24:08,875 --> 01:24:11,125
even as a church.

1409
01:24:12,208 --> 01:24:16,875
[soft music]

1410
01:24:18,750 --> 01:24:20,000
[Police DPO]
All right boys, let's retreat.

1411
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:21,125
Move out.

1412
01:24:21,125 --> 01:24:22,041
Chief Amachree,

1413
01:24:22,041 --> 01:24:26,416
I have a little private
message from Mr. Timi Johnson.

1414
01:24:28,875 --> 01:24:30,250
He says...

1415
01:24:30,250 --> 01:24:32,916
[soft piano music]

1416
01:24:32,916 --> 01:24:34,541
not to fool with his boy.

1417
01:24:37,375 --> 01:24:41,166
[soft piano music continues]

1418
01:24:42,208 --> 01:24:43,958
[crowd cheers]

1419
01:24:44,750 --> 01:24:45,791
Mr. Timi.

1420
01:24:45,791 --> 01:24:46,666
Mr. Timi.

1421
01:24:46,916 --> 01:24:48,791
Mr. Timi, it worked.

1422
01:24:48,791 --> 01:24:50,625
It worked.

1423
01:24:50,625 --> 01:24:53,250
They stopped the demolition. [laughing]

1424
01:24:53,250 --> 01:24:54,291
Okay.

1425
01:24:54,500 --> 01:24:55,416
Okay.

1426
01:24:55,416 --> 01:24:56,875
I can see that you are happy.

1427
01:24:56,875 --> 01:24:57,750
Yes.

1428
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,625
I hope this doesn't
affect your work though.

1429
01:25:04,750 --> 01:25:07,375
Actually sir, about, about that.

1430
01:25:09,625 --> 01:25:11,208
[Elijah rasps]

1431
01:25:12,166 --> 01:25:13,750
Come on, come on out with it.

1432
01:25:15,041 --> 01:25:17,291
I'm not going to kill you.

1433
01:25:17,291 --> 01:25:20,291
[soft piano music]

1434
01:25:22,125 --> 01:25:23,166
When...

1435
01:25:24,416 --> 01:25:26,750
when everyone had left, I,

1436
01:25:27,625 --> 01:25:29,125
I was in the church alone,

1437
01:25:30,750 --> 01:25:32,125
and God spoke to me.

1438
01:25:33,375 --> 01:25:38,125
He, he, he, he has asked me
to start the church properly.

1439
01:25:38,125 --> 01:25:40,500
I already give you two days off a week

1440
01:25:40,500 --> 01:25:43,375
to go do your Bible thing.

1441
01:25:43,375 --> 01:25:45,791
If you wanna convert
those days into service,

1442
01:25:45,791 --> 01:25:47,041
how does that concern me?

1443
01:25:47,041 --> 01:25:50,333
God has asked me to
stop domestic service

1444
01:25:50,583 --> 01:25:53,416
and follow his ministry more permanently.

1445
01:25:59,666 --> 01:26:02,125
This is about that girl, isn't it?

1446
01:26:02,125 --> 01:26:03,375
[Elijah] No. No, no, no.

1447
01:26:03,375 --> 01:26:04,416
It's, it's not.

1448
01:26:05,250 --> 01:26:06,291
It was God.

1449
01:26:06,291 --> 01:26:08,125
I mean, why else would he save the church?

1450
01:26:08,125 --> 01:26:10,166
You think God saved your church?

1451
01:26:10,166 --> 01:26:12,291
I saved your church.

1452
01:26:12,291 --> 01:26:14,625
Me!
[Timi slams table]

1453
01:26:14,625 --> 01:26:16,666
I believe you were the instrument, sir.

1454
01:26:19,375 --> 01:26:22,916
So, God spoke to you, did he?

1455
01:26:23,875 --> 01:26:24,750
Hmm?

1456
01:26:24,750 --> 01:26:26,416
And what did He say, exactly?

1457
01:26:27,250 --> 01:26:30,875
That He thinks you're now too
big to be a house manager,

1458
01:26:30,875 --> 01:26:32,916
or he needs your help in
getting the little money

1459
01:26:32,916 --> 01:26:35,750
these people around here struggle to make,

1460
01:26:35,750 --> 01:26:37,250
so you can do what?

1461
01:26:37,250 --> 01:26:39,916
Buy yourself a new car and
impress your girlfriend,

1462
01:26:39,916 --> 01:26:41,750
or better still, her father.

1463
01:26:41,750 --> 01:26:43,250
Let me tell you something.

1464
01:26:45,250 --> 01:26:46,625
No matter what you do,

1465
01:26:46,625 --> 01:26:49,250
no matter how much money you make,

1466
01:26:49,250 --> 01:26:52,041
once a house boy, always a house boy.

1467
01:26:57,000 --> 01:26:57,875
You know,

1468
01:26:59,125 --> 01:27:00,041
I'm curious.

1469
01:27:01,250 --> 01:27:04,916
Did this God tell you
what will happen to me

1470
01:27:04,916 --> 01:27:09,125
once you go off playing
Jesus, baptising people, hmm?

1471
01:27:09,125 --> 01:27:13,000
Is he gonna find me another
house boy or does he not care?

1472
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:15,416
I won't leave sir, till we find someone.

1473
01:27:15,416 --> 01:27:17,125
We? There is no we.

1474
01:27:17,125 --> 01:27:18,750
You are walking out on we, ah.

1475
01:27:21,375 --> 01:27:23,750
I have to find someone else,

1476
01:27:23,750 --> 01:27:27,750
invite them into my home, my life.

1477
01:27:27,750 --> 01:27:30,625
Teach them how to make fucking eggs again.

1478
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:35,041
[tense piano music]

1479
01:27:35,041 --> 01:27:38,625
After all that I have done for you,

1480
01:27:38,625 --> 01:27:40,500
after everything that I have given you,

1481
01:27:40,500 --> 01:27:42,875
I treated you like you were...

1482
01:27:46,125 --> 01:27:47,500
you know what?

1483
01:27:47,500 --> 01:27:48,666
Leave.

1484
01:27:48,666 --> 01:27:49,500
Go on.

1485
01:27:50,750 --> 01:27:52,375
Don't come back.

1486
01:27:52,375 --> 01:27:55,916
I want you out of this
house by tomorrow morning.

1487
01:27:55,916 --> 01:27:57,375
Fucking ingrate.

1488
01:27:57,375 --> 01:28:00,500
[tense piano music]

1489
01:28:02,875 --> 01:28:04,416
You think you know God.

1490
01:28:06,041 --> 01:28:07,916
You think He loves you.

1491
01:28:09,541 --> 01:28:12,541
Well, I've got news for you, boy.

1492
01:28:12,541 --> 01:28:15,250
He will disappoint you.

1493
01:28:15,250 --> 01:28:19,875
He will take everything you
love and He will destroy it.

1494
01:28:21,416 --> 01:28:27,958
[tense piano music]

1495
01:28:31,125 --> 01:28:35,000
[tense piano music continues]

1496
01:28:40,666 --> 01:28:44,500
[tense piano music continues]

1497
01:28:49,500 --> 01:28:50,625
You locked me in.

1498
01:28:50,625 --> 01:28:53,125
Your father did what
he thought was best.

1499
01:28:53,125 --> 01:28:54,000
I hate him.

1500
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:57,166
Ah, no, don't say
that about your father.

1501
01:28:57,166 --> 01:28:59,250
I hate him.

1502
01:29:01,500 --> 01:29:04,041
Well, if it's any consolation,

1503
01:29:04,041 --> 01:29:05,541
the church was not demolished.

1504
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:13,541
I'm going to marry Elijah,

1505
01:29:14,500 --> 01:29:16,750
and leave this godforsaken house.

1506
01:29:21,666 --> 01:29:24,875
[pensive piano music]

1507
01:29:31,375 --> 01:29:33,666
[pensive piano music continues]

1508
01:29:33,666 --> 01:29:36,625
[knocking on door]

1509
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:47,000
[pensive piano music continues]

1510
01:29:53,625 --> 01:29:57,625
[pensive piano music continues]

1511
01:30:04,125 --> 01:30:08,125
[pensive piano music continues]

1512
01:30:15,750 --> 01:30:16,625
Anna?

1513
01:30:17,916 --> 01:30:19,291
What are you doing?

1514
01:30:19,291 --> 01:30:20,125
How did you?

1515
01:30:22,375 --> 01:30:23,916
You can't be here at this time.

1516
01:30:24,625 --> 01:30:25,875
Your, your father,

1517
01:30:27,125 --> 01:30:28,041
Mr. Timi.

1518
01:30:31,125 --> 01:30:32,000
Are you okay?

1519
01:30:39,500 --> 01:30:40,750
Wait.

1520
01:30:41,791 --> 01:30:43,750
Please, not like this.

1521
01:30:43,750 --> 01:30:45,500
We have to.

1522
01:30:45,500 --> 01:30:46,625
It's the only way.

1523
01:30:49,250 --> 01:30:50,125
What's wrong?

1524
01:30:51,416 --> 01:30:52,750
Baby,

1525
01:30:52,750 --> 01:30:54,625
we have to do this.

1526
01:30:54,625 --> 01:30:56,208
Trust me, please.

1527
01:30:57,000 --> 01:30:58,041
Anna.

1528
01:30:58,041 --> 01:30:58,875
Stop.

1529
01:30:58,875 --> 01:31:00,750
It's the only way.

1530
01:31:00,750 --> 01:31:02,291
This is wrong.

1531
01:31:02,291 --> 01:31:03,291
Elijah...

1532
01:31:04,958 --> 01:31:06,500
do you love me?

1533
01:31:06,500 --> 01:31:07,791
Yes.

1534
01:31:07,791 --> 01:31:08,916
- But.
- Ssh.

1535
01:31:08,916 --> 01:31:11,000
Answer, please.

1536
01:31:13,416 --> 01:31:14,875
Do you love me enough to marry me

1537
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:17,666
and want to spend the
rest of your life with me?

1538
01:31:17,666 --> 01:31:19,916
You know I do.

1539
01:31:19,916 --> 01:31:23,916
Then baby, please.

1540
01:31:23,916 --> 01:31:27,750
This is the only way.

1541
01:31:27,750 --> 01:31:30,416
[Anna exhaling]

1542
01:31:30,416 --> 01:31:36,250
[soft music]

1543
01:31:58,000 --> 01:31:59,125
[Elijah rasping]

1544
01:31:59,125 --> 01:32:01,375
Relax.

1545
01:32:01,375 --> 01:32:02,500
Please.

1546
01:32:02,500 --> 01:32:05,291
[Elijah rasping]

1547
01:32:05,291 --> 01:32:06,375
Your inhaler.

1548
01:32:08,541 --> 01:32:11,750
Where is it, where is it, where is it?

1549
01:32:12,666 --> 01:32:15,916
[Elijah wheezing]

1550
01:32:20,541 --> 01:32:23,791
[Anna banging drawers]

1551
01:32:27,250 --> 01:32:29,750
[soft music]

1552
01:32:31,875 --> 01:32:34,916
[Elijah rasping]

1553
01:32:34,916 --> 01:32:37,500
[Anna gasping]

1554
01:32:39,125 --> 01:32:40,625
It's not working!

1555
01:32:44,666 --> 01:32:46,375
[Anna screaming]

1556
01:32:46,375 --> 01:32:48,125
Help!

1557
01:32:50,125 --> 01:32:53,125
[Anna screaming]

1558
01:32:53,125 --> 01:33:00,166
[soft music]

1559
01:33:08,083 --> 01:33:11,250
[ventilator machine hissing]

1560
01:33:12,750 --> 01:33:16,000
[soft music continues]

1561
01:33:19,250 --> 01:33:21,250
I'm afraid he has chronic lung failure,

1562
01:33:22,500 --> 01:33:24,125
seems to have had it for quite a while

1563
01:33:24,125 --> 01:33:26,500
and could have been treated with drugs.

1564
01:33:26,500 --> 01:33:29,166
Unfortunately, he wasn't
diagnosed early enough.

1565
01:33:29,166 --> 01:33:31,166
We thought he had asthma.

1566
01:33:31,166 --> 01:33:34,250
Maybe it was wrongly
diagnosed as asthma.

1567
01:33:34,250 --> 01:33:35,416
So what do we do?

1568
01:33:35,416 --> 01:33:36,250
What do we do Doctor?

1569
01:33:36,250 --> 01:33:38,416
There isn't much we can do.

1570
01:33:38,416 --> 01:33:40,500
I mean, he would need a lung transplant

1571
01:33:40,500 --> 01:33:43,125
and we do not have donors for that here.

1572
01:33:43,125 --> 01:33:46,875
At least there isn't any active
registry that I'm aware of.

1573
01:33:46,875 --> 01:33:48,916
And you can't fly him abroad

1574
01:33:48,916 --> 01:33:51,291
because there's a long list of patients

1575
01:33:51,291 --> 01:33:53,125
waiting to receive from donors.

1576
01:33:53,125 --> 01:33:56,750
And no one will put him
ahead of their citizens.

1577
01:33:56,750 --> 01:33:59,875
It's both lungs, which means
it has to be cadaveric.

1578
01:33:59,875 --> 01:34:02,000
And you're going to have
a hard time convincing

1579
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:05,375
a parent or a next of
kin to give you the lungs

1580
01:34:05,375 --> 01:34:07,750
of their recently deceased loved ones

1581
01:34:07,750 --> 01:34:10,125
within the space of 48 hours.

1582
01:34:10,125 --> 01:34:14,000
So, like I said, there
isn't much we can do.

1583
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:17,000
We can only continue to
put him on a ventilator

1584
01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:20,000
so that you all can say your goodbyes.

1585
01:34:20,916 --> 01:34:22,125
I really am sorry.

1586
01:34:25,125 --> 01:34:26,625
Leave him on the ventilator.

1587
01:34:27,875 --> 01:34:29,375
I'd like a second opinion.

1588
01:34:30,875 --> 01:34:32,375
[Doctor] We'll do just that.

1589
01:34:33,500 --> 01:34:34,875
[sombre music]

1590
01:34:34,875 --> 01:34:38,750
The echoes of diversifying
the Nigerian economy

1591
01:34:38,750 --> 01:34:42,291
to salvage it from the scourge
of depression and recession

1592
01:34:42,291 --> 01:34:45,750
have been resounding since
the woes of the economy

1593
01:34:45,750 --> 01:34:49,125
have come to constitute strong forces

1594
01:34:49,125 --> 01:34:51,625
blowing storms of
disturbance in the country.

1595
01:34:53,875 --> 01:34:56,916
As attention has been
drawn to agriculture,

1596
01:34:56,916 --> 01:34:59,791
some proposals which are considered as...

1597
01:34:59,791 --> 01:35:02,125
[Elijah] They came from far and wide,

1598
01:35:02,125 --> 01:35:05,000
the best pulmonary
specialists in the world.

1599
01:35:05,875 --> 01:35:07,250
But my dad didn't give up.

1600
01:35:11,250 --> 01:35:13,250
He instructed Mr. Coker to pay off

1601
01:35:13,250 --> 01:35:15,375
as many emergency room doctors

1602
01:35:15,375 --> 01:35:17,166
as he could find around the country.

1603
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:21,500
They were supposed to convince people

1604
01:35:21,500 --> 01:35:23,500
who had just lost their loved ones

1605
01:35:23,500 --> 01:35:26,416
to donate their lungs for a transplant.

1606
01:35:26,416 --> 01:35:28,750
All the doctors tried
to explain how the death

1607
01:35:28,750 --> 01:35:30,250
need not be in vain

1608
01:35:30,250 --> 01:35:32,375
if it can help save another life.

1609
01:35:32,375 --> 01:35:34,041
But it just wasn't working.

1610
01:35:37,250 --> 01:35:40,375
Pretty soon, my father got impatient

1611
01:35:40,375 --> 01:35:42,500
and took matters into his own hands.

1612
01:35:45,875 --> 01:35:48,375
That didn't work out too well.

1613
01:35:50,250 --> 01:35:51,416
You can't do this.

1614
01:35:51,416 --> 01:35:52,500
These people are bereaved.

1615
01:35:52,500 --> 01:35:54,625
Well where are we with the adoption?

1616
01:35:54,625 --> 01:35:57,500
Okay, we found the place.

1617
01:35:57,500 --> 01:35:58,791
But Timi, are you sure?

1618
01:35:58,791 --> 01:36:01,250
Do not ask me that again.

1619
01:36:01,250 --> 01:36:03,750
[tense music]

1620
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:14,375
[tense music continues]

1621
01:36:18,916 --> 01:36:23,791
[Timi crying]

1622
01:36:31,458 --> 01:36:32,666
Look boy.

1623
01:36:34,375 --> 01:36:35,250
So sorry.

1624
01:36:37,625 --> 01:36:38,666
I'm so sorry.

1625
01:36:39,916 --> 01:36:42,500
[sombre music]

1626
01:36:46,416 --> 01:36:51,875
[approaching footsteps]

1627
01:36:53,291 --> 01:36:57,666
[dramatic music]

1628
01:37:03,250 --> 01:37:06,875
[dramatic music continues]

1629
01:37:13,500 --> 01:37:17,041
[dramatic music continues]

1630
01:37:29,625 --> 01:37:31,500
You know,

1631
01:37:31,500 --> 01:37:35,416
the first time I met him and he had his

1632
01:37:36,291 --> 01:37:37,125
lung thing.

1633
01:37:38,791 --> 01:37:39,875
It scared me.

1634
01:37:41,291 --> 01:37:44,916
His nose made that funny sound. [rasping]

1635
01:37:46,041 --> 01:37:48,000
Then I thought he was making fun of me.

1636
01:37:54,916 --> 01:37:57,416
