[Oyin] Hi. Welcome back to the crazy life of Oyin Clegg.
That's me. And my friends, Toke and Gloria.
All three of us were looking for the perfect Prince Charming
but all we got were frogs.
[upbeat music playing]
[woman] Why have you been calling my husband all the time?
[woman] You stay the hell away from my husband.
You hear me? He's married.
[Oyin] Except Ossy, my boss.
Unfortunately, there was no chemistry.
Oyin, science students say that they do not have
-"chemistry". -[others laugh]
[Oyin] Hm, that's her business, I wanted chemistry.
Butterflies in my tummy, a whirlwind romance.
And I found it in Ade, my ex.
I'd found my Prince Charming.
It was the perfect ending,
until it was not.
Ade shattered my heart.
And Ossy, ever sweet,
sent me to Dubai to heal.
On my way, I met the drop-dead gorgeous heir to the billionaire empire,
Yomi Kester-Jacobs and he was perfect.
[Yomi] Hello! Yomi…
Kester-Jacobs.
I, the Kester-Jacobs?
-[Yomi] Is there any other kind? -[Oyin laughs]
[Oyin] Ossy was heartbroken.
What the hell was that?
[Oyin] But only for a while.
Yomi proposed and we started planning the wedding of the decade.
But then the worst happened.
-[male voices moaning] -Oh, oh!
[whimpering]
Go in. He wants to see you.
[Oyin] Now I'm at a crossroads.
Leave all of this drama behind and go back to my miserable single life?
Or save face and go ahead with this scam of a marriage,
surrounded by the good life?
[upbeat music playing]
Sit.
Please.
Good girl.
I understand your surprise.
-Surprise? -Surprise.
Shock. Whatever.
It's a good thing you found out now.
It saves me the trouble of having to tell you before the wedding.
I'm not gay.
I'm bisexual.
I mean,
you and I get on like a house on fire whenever we do it, remember?
[sighs]
God!
I can’t believe this.
-Honey, let's discuss this -Please, don’t!
like adults.
There is nothing to discuss.
I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Sit down, Oyin.
Sit down.
Look at me.
[somber music playing]
Look at me.
Tell me your dreams.
What is it that you want?
Do you want to go on vacation every other week?
You can have that.
You want your own business? It's done.
Do you want me to buy the company you work at and make you the boss?
It's done.
You can have whatever you want.
I only require one thing,
a wife and an heir.
And actually, that's two things.
Marry me, Oyin.
And then tell me your dreams.
And I promise you,
every one of them will be your reality.
So, what do you want to do?
[sighs]
I don’t know.
I think you should accept.
This guy is offering to be your husband only in name.
You will have access to the Kester-Jacobs' wealth.
You won’t have to worry about cancelling a wedding that's this heavily publicised.
Plus, you get your mom off your back once
and for all over this wedding thing.
You can ask this guy for anything, anything, and I'm sure he'll do it.
I think it's a good deal.
If you were dating Aminu
and he made you this kind of offer,
would you accept?
-I think you shouldn’t marry the guy. -[snickering]
But just take the money!
-How? -Take this money.
He wants this thing kept secret,
that's why he's asking you to go ahead with the wedding.
So you're just gonna ask him to give you some money
and that his secret is safe with you.
Isn't that blackmail?
-No. It’s called hush money. -[huffs]
Plus legally you could actually sue him
for damages from emotional trauma.
[mobile phone buzzes]
[exhales]
-Pastor T. -Hey, Oyin dear, how are you?
I am…
[sobs] fine.
[Pastor T] That’s good.
I wanted to have your wedding gift delivered
and I was wondering if you would prefer it delivered
-to your husband’s house or your… -[sobbing]
-Hello, Oyin? -[whispering] What has he said?
-Can I have that, please? -[Pastor T] Oyin, are you okay?
What's the matter?
-[phone beeps off] -[sobbing]
Come on. Come on.
[sighs] Come on. Come on.
It's okay.
[sobbing]
I need to get back to him with the decision tonight.
[sniffling]
[sighs] I'm so confused, I don’t know what to do.
Walk away.
I know your biological clock is ticking.
It's not even about that.
Even though that is valid.
Everybody knows about this wedding.
If I call it off, I will be the…
cursed,
35-year-old single girl
who can't keep a perfect guy like Yomi Kester-Jacobs.
No.
You'll be the happy,
single, 35-year-old single girl
who decided not to keep a seemingly perfect man
like Yomi Kester-Jacobs.
[sighs]
[in Yoruba] I have heard. [in English] Thank you, sir.
Pastor. Okay, okay sir.
Alright. [in Yoruba] Thank you. Alright, bye.
So?
Mommy, I… [sighs]
-I don’t know. -Ah! What don’t you know?
Look, this is common in high society Lagos.
Yomi is from a good family. He spoils you silly.
He can give you children. So what else do you want?
Oyin, a bird at hand is worth two in the bush.
The devil you know is better than the angel you do not know.
I have said my part.
[comic music playing]
[sighs]
-I'm going home. -Ahn-ahn, won’t you stay for, for…
-Mommy, I'll talk to you later. -Oyin, but we have not…
[Oyin] This is where I left you all the last time.
Oh!
Oh my God! Yomi!
[laughing] I'm sorry, babe.
I didn't mean to startle you. I still have your key.
What are you doing here?
I came to get an answer to my proposal.
You could have called.
I could have,
but I thought it'd be better if we did this face-to-face.
I still have a few hours left.
Oyin,
you and I both know you already made up your mind.
A few more hours isn't going to change anything.
You don’t know anything.
Babe,
look at me.
Oyin.
-Look at me. -[sighs]
If you marry me,
it'd be heaven on earth.
Marry me.
-Marry me, Oyin. -Em,
I, please just…
stop.
I think you should go.
I'll call you tonight with my decision,
but please just go.
[huffs]
Fine.
I trust you’re smart enough to make the right decision.
[sighs]
[knock on the door]
[sighs]
I said I'll call you!
Hey. Wait, wait, wait!
-I flew all the way back -No!
just to, just to see you, please.
-Oyin, please. Just hear me-- -And so?
I don’t care if you flew from the ends of the earth.
-Get the hell away from my door! -Wait, wait! Oyin, Oyin please,
Oyin please, just hear me out.
Look, I know that I hurt you and I’m sorry.
-You’re so… [laughs] -Please, just hear me out.
You're sorry?
Okay,
I've heard. Anything else?
Em…
I, em…
I want you back.
-[laughs] -Oyin, please.
Seriously?
After what you did to me?
[in Yoruba] Never! It can’t happen.
I'm getting married to Yomi Kester-Jacobs.
And he is a much better man than you.
Because of his father's money?
Oyin, you think he's a much better man than me
because of his father's money?
I wasn't referring to his money.
[dramatic music playing]
[sighs]
[Oyin] It seems I had made a decision after all.
I guess there are worse things in this life than
being the rich, spoilt wife of a billionaire’s son with a secret.
That’s it, folks!
I am going to be Mrs. Kester-Jacobs.
[singing in celebration]
[both laughing]
[in Yoruba] Mommy, you better be careful. Don't break your waist.
Ah, let the waist break.
[in Yoruba] Let this waist break, let it scatter.
[both laughing]
[in Yoruba] Look,
on that day, as the bride's mother, ah!
[mom chortles]
My dance would be out of this world.
[in Yoruba] Look, I would dance like a deaf person.
[both laughing]
And as I'm dancing, my enemies would be silenced.
-Ene…? -Yes of course.
Ah, I am so happy!
My joy is full. Hm?
You know, people have been asking me about,
"Oh, where is the asoebi?"
"Where is your daughter's asoebi, asoebi?"
And I've been making excuses.
-[mobile phone buzzing] -Hm.
-Hello? Yomi? -[mom] Let me talk to him.
[Yomi] Hey babe, where are you?
No, I'm at my mom's house.
I need to see you.
-Right now? -Yeah, I need to see you.
-Okay. -[Yomi] Okay.
-Send a car. -I'll send the driver to come pick you.
I'll be waiting.
[mom] Let me talk to him, now.
[light music playing]
-Hello. -[Oyin] Hey!
-Hey. -You look nice.
Thank you.
-So, I'm here. -Yes!
You wanted to see me.
True. Let's go inside.
There's, er, something I've been meaning to tell you
but you have to promise not to get upset.
-I promise. -Okay.
[exhales sharply]
Where to begin? [tuts]
You know, ever since I came to your house the first time,
I can’t seem to shake the feeling that I've seen this house before.
[laughs]
Yeah, em, it’s probably my cousin, from my mother side.
Um, he's a filmmaker.
-Ah. -So, ever so often,
him and his colleagues come here
to shoot music videos or Nollywood films.
Ehen, I said it!
This is the house they used in that movie,
em, what was it called again? Er…
-Which one? -[hiss]
[huffs] I can’t remember.
I, it'll come to me.
-Shall we? [laughs] -Yes, we shall.
How's your day going?
[Yomi] Hey.
[both chuckling]
So,
it’s about the wedding.
-Okay. -Yeah.
The thing is, we Kester-Jacobs,
we love a big wedding reception.
It's not like we have much of a choice, given our status.
-Uh. -Yeah.
[clicks tongue] But we tend to lean towards more private and
intimate church services. Very limited.
[comic music playing]
Maximum of 50 people.
Wait, wait! Em, wait! Wait, wait! I'm, I'm sorry.
Did you, did you say 50?
Mm-hmm.
Why?
[laughs]
It's, it’s a family tradition.
[in Yoruba] What sort of family tradition is that?
-Ah. -It, it, it, I can explain.
A long time ago when my parents were about to get married,
a lot of people turned up.
The church was packed to the rafters.
People were spilling into the aisle.
It was chaotic to say the least.
And er, when the bride, my mother, attempted to walk down that aisle,
-someone mistakenly stepped on her dress, -[gasps]
causing it to rip and then she tripped and it was a mess.
-You’re joking! -No.
The press had a field day
and my mother died of embarrassment.
Suffice to say, she vowed that only close friends
and family would be allowed to attend Kester-Jacobs' future church services.
-And no press. -[sighs]
-Wow! -So here we are.
[sighs]
Look, it's, it’s not that bad.
But you can have as big a wedding reception as you want.
Hey, cheer up.
It’s not the end of the world.
Plus, you smell so nice today.
[spluttering] Ah, eh, I, em, I can't.
-[spluttering] I'm, I'm sorry, I… -What's wrong?
I keep seeing…
you and Aminu. I…
[chuckles]
I get it.
I understand.
But the thing is, you have to be okay with being with me.
We are expected to have kids.
-[Oyin sighs] -[Yomi laughs]
Hey, look at me.
Don’t look like I've just given you a death sentence.
And from what I recall, you always enjoyed when we…
[whispers] do it.
[scoffs]
[sighs]
My point is, just try to enjoy the moment.
[Oyin] It…
It's… it’s hard.
I understand.
But it’s not impossible.
Just think about it.
-[Toke] Have you told your mom? -[huffs]
Not yet.
[laughs] The earlier the better.
I hope you know she's bringing the whole of the country.
Look, they’ll just have to attend the reception.
The church ceremony is exclusive to close family
-and friends. -[mobile phone vibrates]
-[snickers] -Who is that?
Is it not Ade?
He keeps calling me. Is he mad?
But how that boy can even still be calling back to beg you,
I don’t understand.
[in Pidgin] Please, forget it.
You know what? I'm even, I'm blocking him. Right now.
Nonsense.
-Phew! -[sighs]
Wasn't Gloria supposed to meet us here?
Ah, she is but I don't know.
Lately, she's just been acting really strange.
What do you mean?
Since she came back from the honeymoon, she's just been off.
Okay, maybe when we’re done here we should go, we should swing by her place.
Maybe.
That's if she's there, cos the last time I stopped by,
twice now, the shop was locked.
Wait. Do you think Ossy may have asked her to stop working?
Because Yomi asked me the same thing
and I am not sure I can do that.
-[mobile phone ringing] -Well…
Lumi is calling.
[hiss] Just leave him. I’ll call him back.
[laughing] Babe, this dress is beautiful.
-But the price! -[laughing]
-Yomi is paying. -[laughing]
Are you sure about this?
The dress?
About marrying Yomi.
[somber music playing]
Look, all my life
I've dreamed of Prince Charming
and the perfect wedding,
but life isn’t perfect.
And even Prince Charming may have his demons,
just like all human beings do so…
But is this a demon you want to fight with him?
[laughs]
I don’t know.
I guess I can think about that
while I'm honeymooning in the Bahamas.
-[laughing] -[in Yoruba] Idiot!
So, what do you think? [clears throat]
It’s perfect.
This is attractive. This is classy. So…
Mmm…
[lively string music playing]
You may all sit.
We are gathered here today to witness the joining
together of these two in holy matrimony.
But before we commence,
is there anyone here,
that for one reason or the other
feels these two should not be joined together
in holy matrimony. Let the person speak now
or remain silent forever.
[Ossy] I do!
-[comic music plays] -[voice in the crowd] Hey!
These two should not be joined in holy matrimony.
[voice in the crowd] Huh?
This marriage is a sham!
Yomi is gay.
[crowd exclaim in disbelief]
-[voice in crowd] Gay? -Yomi!
What are you doing? Yomi is gay!
I'm telling you. This man is gay!
Put me down! Leave me alone!
My husband is right.
Yomi is gay.
Oyin, you’re our friend and we can’t just sit back
and watch you marry this man.
This, this marriage can’t happen. We love you, Oyin.
-Don't do this, please. -[voice in crowd] Ahn-ahn!
[Yomi yelling] That's enough!
So what?!
I like what I like and I…
[Oyin] I'm tired.
Thank you all for coming.
But there will be no Mrs. Kester-Jacobs today.
-What?! -[voice in crowd] Hey!
You can all get on with your miserable lives.
[mom] Yomi!
[in Yoruba] Ah, it can’t happen! It can't happen!
[in Yoruba] I am dead! I am done for!
No marriage today! Hey!
-[in Yoruba] I'm done for! -[voice in crowd] Hey!
Wait, somebody please grab her now!
-Oyin. Please, please. -[sobbing]
[phone vibrating]
[sighs]
Mommy, what do you want?
Oyinlola, what do you mean, what do I want?
You have not been picking or returning my calls.
-I need some alone time. -No.
In this state, that's not what you need.
Look at how lean you are.
You look so pale. Oyin, have you been eating?
Talk to me now, I'm your mother, hm?
I'm here for you.
Okay, you know what?
I think you need to come and stay with me for some time.
No, mom.
it's fine. [in Yoruba] I'll be alright.
Are you sure?
Hmm. I don’t like the way you’re acting.
Look at the way you’re looking at me.
Don’t go and do something stupid, Oyin. Please.
I won’t.
[sighs] You know what will make me really comfortable?
That you have people around you.
Okay.
I'll call Toke and tell her to come over.
[soft music playing]
[Gloria] I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry.
I didn't mean to hurt her.
We just want the best for her.
How did you even find out?
[Ossy] My cousin.
Yeah, the one who had a pool party a while back.
Well, he came visiting and he saw the IV.
So apparently, he works for Aminu
and he knows that Aminu is gay and that Yomi is his partner.
Now frankly,
I didn't believe it at first but after I did some digging,
I found out it was true. And [sighs] we just felt
we had to do something about it.
Wait, and
it absolutely had to be a public embarassment
at your friend's wedding? Come on!
Ahn-ahn!
We're sorry, we're really sorry.
-We found out late and we had to… -Yeah, we…
-we had to do something. -We had to do something.
[mobile phone ringing]
Hello?
Oyin?
[scoffs]
Men are scum, really.
-Yomi, right? -No, Ade.
Hmm!
That guy was just wicked.
Imagine all the, all the fun we had. All the promises he made,
for him to just leave me high and dry like that.
Who does that?
He now had the nerve to show up here,
telling me that he wants me back.
He was here again?
No, that time.
Oyin, Oyin why're you bringing this up again?
Is it not this stupid show.
Huh.
-[television clicks off] -And then there's Yomi
and all of… You know what?
[hiss] In fact, I'm done.
-I'm done. I'm actually done. I'm done. -Oyin, take it easy.
-[in Yoruba] I'm no more interested. -Oyin…
-I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. -What have I been telling you all day?
Just, let’s just believe that
there are still a few good men out there.
Yeah? Where?
Show me. No, where are they?
You know at this, in fact,
I'm just going to have a baby
and just forget about this whole love matter.
Wait, wait! No!
Oyin, I can listen to you say everything else
but not like that. I don’t want you talking like this.
-Talking like what? -Talking like you’re hopeless.
You need to get your mind off men
and get your mind off their issues.
Just give yourself some time to heal.
How am I supposed to do that?
[sighs]
Okay. Just think of something fun.
Something you can do that would make you happy.
[lively music playing]
-[lively music continues playing] -[indistinct conversation]
[indistinct conversation]
[Toke] That's how you plan a grand entrance
of coming back to work without telling your bestfriend?
[laughs]
I figured I had rested enough.
No, I'm not talking about you coming back to work.
I'm talking about how you came back to work, baby.
-Oh well, well, I just took your advice. -[laughs]
I did what makes me happy
and I spent that bastard's money.
It was so therapeutic.
-Sit, sit, sit, sit. -Oyin, Oyin,
and it's certainly working.
Look, that's what everyone in the office is talking about right now.
Well, if you want people to stop talking about one thing,
you give them something else to talk about.
-It works like magic. -[laughs]
[laughing] It feels good to be back though.
It's a good thing I didn't do what Yomi asked me to
and resign. That would have been so disastrous.
Being with Yomi would have been disastrous, period!
I know, right?
Uh! Thank God for Gloria and Ossy.
Even though I'm still mad at them.
Mmm!
Talking about resigning and talking about Ossy,
did you know that Ossy resigned?
-Really? -Yeah.
When?
A few days ago and I hear he works in a bank now.
Top management position of course.
-Good for him. -Yeah.
I'm glad I don't have to deal with seeing him around here.
[knock on door]
Yeah, come in.
[comic music playing]
[Oyin] What do you want?
[Desmond] Relax, come on. Are we fighting?
I just came to say welcome back, you know.
And really, I kind of missed you a little.
-Thanks. -Mm-hmm.
Oh, congratulations on your new car.
It is a lovely, lovely car.
Was that from the money the Nollywood guys paid you?
Oh. You don't know.
Know what?
There is a new Nollywood film about you.
It's called The Tears of Oyin,
complete with the poster of the actress
belting out an epic scream on her knees at the church.
[hiss] Liar! Please!
Oh, no one can make these things up, you know it.
It's on social media.
Check it.
You know I thought they paid you quite handsomely,
quite handsomely to, you know,
get the rights to your day of shame and disgrace.
-Ahn-ahn! -I only realized they,
ridiculed you for free.
Desmond, please get up and get out.
Sweetheart, this is not even your office.
I'm going to report you to HR.
And do you want me to get up and tell everyone in this office that
your wife has sent you packing and you're now squatting with your mother?
I didn't think so.
Wow!
-Wow! -Please go!
[comic music continues]
[Toke hisses]
-[in Yoruba] Fool. -Toks.
-It's true. -For real?
The girl even,
looks like me.
[both laughing]
‎She does.
Wow!
-Ah! -Wow.
-I'm happy you are laughing about it. -[chuckles]
Oyin, I'm proud of you.
[both laughing]
Thanks, babe.
So much for not having the press at the church ceremony.
[in Yoruba] Mh! I have a nine o'clock appointment. Here!
You won't kill me!
-I also have a meeting. [laughs] -[laughs]
[Oyin] It was really great to be back at work.
[upbeat music playing]
[Oyin] And then it started.
I wasn't quite sure what to make of it,
so I decided to make nothing of it.
But then, it happened again.
And then again.
It was time to call for backup.
Looks like a secret admirer.
Looks like a stalker more like.
[protests] Toks.
This guy knows your office,
he knows your car, and now your house.
Hmm. I think you should be worried.
I think you should stop watching CSI.
-It's not helping your imagination. -[scoffs]
My corner piece.
You bring it all together.
-Hey. -[laughing]
Well, this guy has good taste, though.
-Mr. Poet. -Mmm.
[mobile phone ringing]
[sighs]
[gentle music playing]
Whoo! It's like this guy knows how to pull all the stops.
I'm really feeling him for you.
I know, right? It's like he knows me so well.
-[laughs] -What if it's Ade?
-How now? -[laughs]
C'mon now, this guy still wants you.
Ehen, and so? [in Yoruba] I said I'm not interested!
But that was when you were with Yomi.
But now you are not with Yomi anymore, so…
[Oyin] Wait.
Why are you supporting him after everything he did to me?
He called me.
Sorry, what?
You blocked him off your phone, Oyin,
and he reached out and asked if we could talk. So…
-And you did? -Yes, because I was curious.
About what?
[sighs]
Oyin, look I know you're mad. You're really upset with him.
You have every right to be, okay? But this guy is genuinely sorry.
[clicks tongue] Toke, please,
-don't ruin my day. -Okay.
Yes. Sorry.
Hmm.
-[hisses] -What if it's Yomi?
[scoffs] After everything that happened between us?
Why would he be trying to impress me?
Well, you have a point.
Um…
then what if it's somebody at the office?
Maybe. But I wonder who it could be.
Hmm.
Whoever it is, I hope he reveals himself soon.
[laughing] Somebody is falling.
-[in Pidgin] Please, please, please. -[laughs]
Anyway, are you up for going out tonight?
Yeah! But yeah, I have to run a few errands first.
-[mobile phone ringing] -[upbeat music playing]
Hello?
-[chuckles] -Thank you so much for the baby things.
Babe, what are you saying?
Wait, what are godmothers for?
Honestly, that was so thoughtful of you, thank you.
[laughs]
-Ah, sorry! [laughs] -[laughs]
-Easy. -Anyway,
you know you said, em, you wanted to talk to me. That's why I quickly dropped by.
Wait first. How are you coping?
I mean, being at home, not going to work.
The pregnant life.
-Bored. [laughs] -[laughs]
Well, I've being online. I spend most of my time online these days.
-I've picked up a thing or two, so… -Gloria!
I'm okay.
-Sounds cool, sounds cool. -Yeah.
-How is the baby? -Baby is fine.
You know I said I have to rush up. We haven't talked.
-I wanted us to talk. -[mobile phone ringing]
I am still going to go to Oyin. We need to still meet up at the club.
-Oh yeah. Um, it's about… -Sorry, one second.
Sorry, quick one.
Hi.
Yeah, I was in a meeting the other time and now I'm with Gloria.
Do you think we could talk later?
Sure. Of course I promise. Yeah.
Okay, bye.
[hiss]
-Who was that? -Just a friend.
-Mm-hmm. -[laughing]
A special friend, actually.
-Mm-hmm? -Way, way special friend.
Okay. How does he look?
Hmm…
He doesn't have a face? He doesn't have a picture?
Let's see a picture.
-Mmm, okay! -[laughs]
Um…
-Hold on a minute. -Okay.
Yeah. Here.
[Ossy] Gloria!
-[plate clatters] -Jesus christ.
-[sigh] -Sorry
-Sorry. -Did you break that?
[straining]
-No, it's… -No!
-I hope it didn't cut you? -Uh-uhn.
Just be careful next time, okay?
Don't worry, I'll take care of it.
I'll take care of it.
You're sure it didn't…
-You're sure it didn't cut you? -No, it just fell out of my hand.
-Ossy. Mr. Ossy, Hello! -[laughing]
Toke, I'm sorry. You know I only have eyes for this woman.
-I know. I understand. You're not hurt. -[laughing]
-I'm sorry. -Are you?
She says… You are okay, yeah?
Ahn-ahn! How have you been?
Me? I've been fine.
I mean, we've been where you left us. Mr. Banker.
-Hmm. [huffs] -How is banking industry?
My dear, we thank God.
We can't complain. It's being going great. It's being going great.
Just look at the two of them, ah!
When?
So how have you been?
-Um- hmm. -Don't worry.
-I'll take care of this. Just go… -Um, it's okay I can take care…
No, ahn-ahn. Go and sit…
-Toke, talk to your friend. -[cackle] You're so blessed.
Look, guys.
Let me leave the two of you. You know I told you I have to still rush to Oyin.
I'm still meeting up with her at the club, let me just rush--
Em, how is Oyin? How is she?
Oyin is fine. She is doing okay.
-Alright. -She's doing very well, actually.
I'm telling you, Oyin is, she's finally on her way back to her happy place.
Oh, that's lovely.
It's gradual but…
Who knows? She might even begin to see someone very soon.
-[Gloria] Aw! -[Toke] Hmm! [clicks tongue]
I just love your love, guys.
You know I love you. I love him her more.
[laughs]
I'll see you guys.
-Alright now, Toke. -I'm so sorry.
-No, it's okay. -No.
-I'm so sorry. -Come!
-Thank you. -Easy, easy.
Easy. Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
-Okay, Bye. -Alright, bye.
[dramatic music playing]
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
-Shut up! -I'm so sorry.
Make sure you clean this nonsense.
And let my food be there when I come back.
Nonsense.
[upbeat club music playing]
[man] Hey pretty, wanna dance?
C'mon, let me rock your world.
[hisses]
[man] Piss off, bitch!
[in Yoruba] You too, piss off! Dullard!
[Toke] Wait, what is going on?
Can you imagine?! This small boy that is toasting
somebody that can be his older sister's mate?
[laughing]
[in Yoruba] Ahn-ahn! Or I look like a babysitter or a cougar?
[in English] I don't even know how some women do that nonsense.
[hisses] Did you finish running your errands?
Sort of.
-[female voice] Hey! -Sort of.
[female voice] Hi!
-[Toke] Hi. -You are Oyin Clegg, right?
The one who was supposed to marry Yomi Kester-Jacobs?
-Yes. -[whispering] I told you she was the one.
-What? -Helen was right.
You know, I think I've met you before.
I had no idea I was talking to a celebrity.
[fake laughter]
So, how did it feel being
left at the altar by Nigeria's most eligible bachelor?
Not as painful as the slaps I'm about to give the two of you
if you don't get out of my face!
[women laugh]
Ahn-ahn!
My girl, you gave them hot, hot. I didn't need to defend you.
-I'm tired. I'm actually tired. -[laughs]
I deserve to be normal and happy after what happened.
Completely. Completely.
What?!
[Oyin hisses]
And I deserve to be happy, right?
Of course. What kind of question is that? Everybody does.
[sighs] So, I have some news.
Mmm?
Okay.
I'm seeing someone.
-[squeals] Ah! -[laughs]
Gist, gist, gist.
Em…
He's eight years younger than me.
Oyin, you haven't said anything to what I said.
What do you want me to say?
That you're happy for me and…
Oyin you've got this secret admirer and I have this new person
-and I just don't-- -Wait!
Is that what this is about?
Oh, I have somebody, so you have to have somebody too?
What is wrong with you?
-Is it a competition? -No! [in Yoruba] What is…
C'mon stop it now, Oyin.
No.
‎[sighs]
I met this guy at the pool party.
It's been that long?
Yes, it's being that long because it took a while for me to even accept
that I was falling for somebody that young.
I know. This guy is so young,
even my younger brothers are older than him. Goodness!
It's ridiculous, I know but,
Oyin, he is mature, and very smart.
I want you to…
I need you to actually be happy for me.
I'm not,
not happy for you. I'm just shocked.
I was shocked myself.
I mean, if anyone had told me that I was gonna love somebody that young,
I'd have said no. Stop making that…
Oh! Oyin, this guy is incredible.
[in Yoruba] Wow!
The way you are talking about this guy,
in fact my expectations are through the roof.
Trust me, Oyin, you know my taste.
You know that I know when I say these things, yeah.
-So when can we meet this guy? -Yes!
[laughs]
So, I'm gonna arrange something
and we'll find a good time to all sit down together.
Now I can enjoy my drink.
[upbeat music playing]
[Oyin] It turns out Toke was right.
You know what I mean.
[Oyin] He was everything she said he was, and then some.
No, but you… what was that thing you said yesterday?
-[lively music plays] -[indistinct conversation]
[Oyin] It was obvious they were crazy about each other.
By the time we were done,
my concerns about the age difference had melted away.
[phone vibrating]
Toks, what is wrong?
[lively music continues]
[squeals] Ah!
Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!
Okay, okay, okay!
We need to celebrate.
[squealing] Oh my God! Yeah!
-Ahn-ahn! Oh my eyes. Ahn-ahn! -[laughs]
He tried oh.
-Wow! -What do you mean, "he tried"?
Didn't I tell you? But didn't I tell you?
He has good taste, he has good taste.
Ahn-ahn!
What is she doing here?
Oyin, just calm down.
I hope you know that the two of you are the only real friends that I have?
I'm not going to be here celebrating this without the two of you. So Oyin…
Oyin, I'm really sorry about what happened.
I didn't mean to hurt you.
But you did.
And that's why I'm asking you to please forgive.
I know we've been through a lot, okay?
But look at us. We have so much to be thankful for.
Here we are. She's happily married,
I'm engaged, and you got this secret admirer.
-We-- -Secret admirer?
Yeah. We thought it was Ade at first but apparently it's not.
Ade is back in the picture?
-No! -Yes!
He is trying so hard to be back but she's not giving him the light of day.
So shall we toast now? Hmm?
Please can we get a glass of water?
Hmm, we toast to forgiveness.
Oyin, Oyin.
[laughs]
-Thank you. -Yes, ma.
Wait, mystery guy wants to meet on Saturday.
Oh, he said I should ask for Chris.
Chris, Chris. Wait, do you know any Chris?
No.
-Okay. -Well, I guess I'll find out.
Whoo!
Ah, yes!
-Calm down, calm down. -[laughs]
So we're toasting to love,
to happiness, and forgiveness. We're good?
Ladies!
Come on.
-Cheers, Cheers! -[laughs]
[soft music playing]
Olumide, just tell already.
You're just keeping me in suspense, that's it.
So when are you back from this trip?
Aunty, can you leave man for one second and come and help me?
I think I have to go. Oyin is just giving me daggers here.
Yeah.
I'm supposed to help her choose a dress for her date with her mystery man.
Toke, come on. Tsk.
[laughs] Okay. I have to go. I'll call you back.
Okay.
So, I need to look sexy but not desperate.
So, which one?
Toks, c'mon!
Chill, it's Gloria. She wants us to talk.
-Why? What's up? -That's what I'm asking her.
Okay, she says it's a long-sit-down kind of conversation.
Okay.
Okay, the best thing is to ask her to meet me at our usual spot
-where I'll be waiting for you. -[comic music playing]
After your date then we can talk.
Wait, why would you be waiting for me at our usual spot?
Seriously?
Are you really asking me that?
[comic music continues]
What if he's a serial killer?
-[huffs] Ahn-ahn! -Uh-hun, uh-hun. Come on.
[snorts]
Look,
I'm actaully going to expect you to give me
an update of what's going on, every two minutes.
If I don't here from you in two minutes, I'm coming in there with a rescue team.
[in Pidgin] Oh yeah! Ahn-ahn! Superhero things.
-Okay. -Wonder Toks.
-[Oyin laughs] -[Toke hisses, scoffs]
But, you might be on to something.
Better to be safe than sorry.
Exactly!
[in Pidgin] C'mon, now.
-Okay. -Okay., which of them?
Mm-mm. Mm-mm.
-No? -Nope.
[Oyin sighs]
[Oyin] Reservation for Chris, please?
[attendant] Your seat awaits ma.
[Oyin] Thank you.
[laughs]
[clears throat]
I'll come over and see you when I finish here.
Yes, baby.
I love you. I'll talk to you later.
[chuckles]
[Ossy] Oyin.
Hey.
Ossy.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
I'm here to see you.
Ossy, I'm not really in the mood for games.
My date will be here soon.
I mean, if you're here with Gloria, I…
Oyin, I'm not here with Gloria.
Look, let me…
Let me cut to the chase. Oyin Clegg,
from the very first time I saw you,
my feelings for you haven't changed one bit.
I know now what I knew back then
that I would never love another woman the way I love you.
-And-- -Wait! Mm-mm.
You're Chris?
That's, that's not possible.
Why?
Gloria!
-Look, -[ominous music playing]
I have tried my best to love my wife.
I promise you I have, Oyin.
But it's impossible. See my,
my heart refuses to believe
and agree with what my head has being telling me to,
which is to do the right thing but Oyin, I can't live without you.
-[laughs] -I need you in my life. I…
So,
that's why you ruined my wedding?
And humiliated me in front of the whole world?
-Love? -Oyin…
And… And now you want… [laughs]
You're asking me to
have an affair with my friend's husband?
Oyin, just try to understand what--
Understand…
Understand what?
[laughs]
So, so you have finished looking at me up and down,
and you have decided that Oyin Clegg cannot find a man,
-No! -so she should be… [protests]
content with being somebody's side chick?
-Oyin, calm down. -Don't tell me to calm down!
Ossy, you're selfish.
-You're a selfish, mad man! -Oyin, c'mon!
Think about all I've done to get your attention, to get you here.
Look I… [sighs]
[chuckles]
I'm not saying you should compromise your friendship, Oyin.
-[Oyin spluttering] You are… -What I'm--
Don't you…!
Don't
touch me!
-Oyin! -In fact, in fact,
never in your life call me,
text me, or send me any kind of message, ever again.
Oyin, please.
Please.
And just so we're clear. You see these?
They have never been yours and they'll never be yours.
Not even if you were the last man on earth.
[in Yoruba] Foolish man. Idiot.
[in Yoruba] It will not be well with you! [in English] God will punish you!
[Oyin hisses]
[dramatic music continues playing]
-[cackling maniacally] -What happened?
I can believe it.
-The guy's ugliness must have been so bad. -It's Ossy!
What? Wait.
Did you say Ossy, as in Ossy Ossy?
Gloria's husband, your Ossy?
Whose Ossy?
The stupid monkey asked me to be his side chick.
And he thought I was going to say yes.
Can you imagine?
Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
Ossy wants to cheat on Gloria with you!
Is he mad?
What kind of evil obsession is this [in Yoruba] for Christ's sake.
[in Yoruba] For goodness' sakes!
I don't know. And I don't care.
I'm… I'm so pissed right now.
[mobile phone ringing]
[Oyin exhales]
Just hold on.
Hi, Gloria.
Yes we're here, we're waiting for you.
Oyin, please Gloria is coming. I just don't want you to talk
about this thing in Gloria's presence at all
because this is just going to break her. Please.
I will try.
[hisses] Here I was thinking I was going to meet a correct guy.
Not demented Ossy.
Sis. [hisses]
Why are you wearing sunglasses at night?
[melancholic music playing]
Gloria.
Can I get you anything?
How long has this being going on?
[sniffles, laughs]
Since.
[huffs] Since after the honeymoon.
It wasn't so bad at first. A few slaps here and there.
Then it got worse. He stopped me from running my business.
Practically locked me in the house.
God help me if I'm not at home when he gets back from work.
I would be in so much trouble.
Hmm!
Oyin, and I'm so sorry I disrupted your wedding.
I didn't mean to disrupt your wedding.
I'm so sorry.
But he forced me.
He hit me.
He kept hitting me then. I had to agree just,
just so that I could have some peace.
[in Yoruba] That guy is an accursed human being.
Exactly!
Ossy is obsessed with you.
[laughs]
He, he resigned from the office.
He resigned from the company,
just because he couldn't stand to see you everyday.
And guess who he took out his frustrations on?
Me.
My husband is in love with you.
[whimpering] You make him happy.
Gloria please, don’t say that.
But it's true. It's true.
And since he can’t have you,
he tries to date your spec.
What does that even mean?
Oh God! I just…
I just want things to get back to the way they used to be,
before the honeymoon.
Oyin, I need your help.
How, exactly?
I want you to get back with Ossy.
Wait, you want Oyin to get back with Ossy
as what?
Can't you see? You can't see what I'm seeing?
You’re gonna tell me you can’t see it?
Mm-mm.
Ossy's demons are repressed because
Oyin was in his life.
And now that she's no longer in his life,
Ossy is a monster.
There is no day that goes by that
Ossy doesn’t think about you, [sobs]
doesn’t talk about you, in fact, he practically calls me Oyin.
Oyin, I have to live with that every single day.
All I'm asking is that you just give it a chance.
Maybe Ossy can get back to being the sweet
-Ossy that we know. -Gloria, are you crazy?!
You want me to, what?
Have an affair with your husband and be a side chick
in order to save your marriage?
Really?
Ahn-ahn!
[in Yoruba] What is this babe saying?
I'm, I don’t understand too.
You want to stay with a man who beats you
and who wants to sleep with your friend?
This is even, this is worse than
what I was trying to do with Yomi.
-I know. -[Toke] Definitely.
I know.
But… [sighs]
But this is my marriage Oyin, and I need your help.
-So, are you… -[Gloria] Please save my marriage.
-Just, just one year. -Stop…
-[Gloria] Just one year! -Just, just shut up! You're…
You're a selfish bitch!
So, I should give you one year
of my life
in order to do this nonsense that you’re proposing?
[sniggering]
Wow!
Okay, at this point Oyin,
I just don’t want neighbours hearing what you're saying.
-Bring your voice down. -[Oyin splutters] Bring it down to where?
Toke, please help me talk to her.
-Do you not hear what she's saying? -Gloria!
It's my fault! It's my fault!
If I were married, if I were in my husband's house,
you wouldn’t be saying this nonsense
-to me. -Come on, Oyin.
-[Gloria] Oyin… -[Toke] Gloria!
-It's me, it's me. -Oyin, come on, come on, please.
-You know what? You know what? Hey! Hush. -Please. Chill.
Get out of my house.
-[Gloria] Oyin, me? -No, please,
come and be going. Please, get, get out!
Toke, talk to her now.
-Toke even you, you, -What are you saying?
why did you even bring her?
-Bring her? What do you mean, -Oyin.
why did I bring her?
Please, she came with us from where we were coming from.
Get out of my house
before I say or do something that I'm going to regret.
[Toke exhales]
-Gloria, please get your bag, please. -[mobile phone ringing]
[Toke hisses]
Hi, Olumide. Please, please can I call you back? Please.
Gloria, please can we go?
Toke,
that's your Olumide?
Yes. Why?
Please, can, can I, can I see a picture? Please.
Please?
[suspenseful music playing]
Ah, ah, no!
Gloria, what is it?
Oh. [sighs]
I think I'm cursed.
I'm cursed!
Everything I touch is just ruined.
Gloria, can you tell me what is going on, please?
Toke… Hmm… I…
I…
I've slept with Olumide.
[laughs maniacally]
Wh… what?
[in Yoruba] That's it!
I don’t understand.
It's like today is the day for surprises and nonsense.
[sobs]
Tell me.
Are, are you the one that my father cheated on my mother with?
Gloria, when?
When?
We were in New York at the time.
I was an undergrad, she was doing her Masters.
We met at a club.
We had sex and that was it.
Look, it had nothing to do with our relationship.
Why didn’t you tell me when I showed you the pictures of my friends on Instagram?
I wasn't sure at first.
Oh well, when you were?
Look Toke, I don’t think you should be crucifying me
for this when you didn’t even tell your friends about me.
I mean, you hid me like I was an STD.
That was just once and I apologized.
Well, this was just once and it was a long time ago.
I don’t get why you’re making such a big deal about it.
Because you didn't tell me.
You didn’t tell me until I accepted this your proposal!
Because it didn't matter!
-[Toke scoffs] -[Olumide huffs]
You’ve slept with other guys before me,
you don’t see me freaking out about it.
Excuse me, none of them is your friend, okay?
And even if they were, the mature thing I would have done
when I notice the relationship was escalating would have been to tell him.
The mature thing?
Wait. So now you’re saying I'm immature?
Yes.
[laughs]
See, I knew this was always going to be an issue.
I mean, you’re older than me and you can’t deal.
-That's not what I said. -Well, that's all I heard.
Oh, that's on you because it's not my fault that
you can’t handle your own age insecurity.
Oh! [chuckles] So now I'm Immature and insecure!
[laughs] You know what?
-[mobile phone ringing] -This is bullshit!
Mm-hmm.
-I'm done! -Me too!
Yes?
[wistful music playing]
-[mobile phone buzzing] -[hiss]
[sighs]
Hello?
-Babes, what happened? -[hisses]
[dramatic music playing]
[Toke] Ossy got home before her.
[indistinct muttering]
[Toke] She told him she had come to see us but he wasn’t pacified.
He beat her.
He beat her till she went into premature labour.
-[indistinct speech] -[dramatic music continues]
Nonsense.
-How is she? -Well, your friend is stable.
[sighs]
And the baby?
-[exhales] -It was a stillbirth.
[hisses]
I'm going to kill him.
[doctor] She'll be alright. Hmm?
So if you ladies need me for any other thing,
I'll be in my office.
-[Toke] Thank you. -[Oyin] Thank you.
Just take it easy.
All you need to do is just regain your strength.
And you need to get your life back.
I have to go tell Ossy about the baby.
Why?
Isn’t he the one who's responsible for this?
I even text him already and he hasn't replied. So…
Toke.
Oh!
I am so sorry for the pain I put you girls through.
-No, come on, it's okay. -[Gloria] I'm so sorry.
It's just, I really wanted my marriage to work.
I wanted it to work so bad.
[laughs]
Ossy has replied.
-[in Yoruba] This guy is a bastard! -A really crazy one.
-Can you imagine? -[Toke scoffs]
What did he say? What did he say?
As far as I'm concerned, this marriage is over.
You’re not going back into that house.
But I have to go.
Gloria, are you crazy?
Look, I read it in some blog about this guy
who stabbed his wife to death, very recently.
-Are you trying to die? -Never. God forbid!
If I don't go, how am I supposed to fend for myself now?
Are you serious?
You had a thriving business before
you allowed this stupid, demented guy to do this to you.
[huffs] He asked me to stop because of the baby.
[Toke] Bastard!
Oyin, that's what they do. Yeah.
They completely cut you off from your family.
They cut you off from all means of livelihood
so that you’re totally dependent on them.
That's what they do.
You're not going back.
No! You're not going back.
Do you want us to wait until you're dead and, and
become gist for the blogs before this madness ends?
This ends! And it ends now!
And he's going to pay.
Oh, he's going to pay for his sins.
How?
[clears throat]
[exhales]
[phone keyboard clicking]
[huffs]
[clears throat]
[exhales]
I don’t trust this guy.
I think he might actually be playing you both and just stringing you along.
I'm suggesting we have a backup plan.
We need to come up with something strong,
something we can use to force his hand.
Like what?
There's this pet project he's working on at the office.
If I can just get my hands on the files.
But that would mean I, that would mean I have to go home.
-No way. No way. -[Gloria] It’s the only way.
That bastard can’t lay his hands on you again.
It’s the only way.
I don't, I don't think that's a good idea.
-I have to go. -No!
-Oyin, I have to go. -Can you talk some sense into her?
Oyin, I have to--
-Gloria, no! -Oyin!
I'll be fine.
[haunting music playing]
[music picks up pace]
[lively music continues]
-[indistinct muttering] -[lively music continues]
[car alarm beeps]
[lively music continues]
Yeah, so I'll send you the documents tomorrow.
Yeah, so you can review them.
[chuckles] Guy, don’t worry, I say I got you, ahn-ahn!
[laughs]
Yeah.
No, Guy, I'm keeping everything hush-hush.
I will do the big reveal tomorrow at my presentation.
[laughs]
[clicks tongue]
Guy please, get off my phone, I have a phone call now. [laughs]
Hold on.
Alright, take care. Bye.
Hello?
[Oyin] Where are you?
I'm on my way to you now.
Hurry. I have a surprise planned.
-Check your Whatsapp. -Okay.
-[indistinct muttering] -[lively music continues]
Shit!
[car engine revs up]
[lively music continues]
[Ossy] Oyin! Oyin!
[all] Surprise!
[Oyin exhales]
I'm sure you're all wondering what's going on.
After all, you were invited under the guise that Gloria,
Ossy's wife is celebrating
her husband’s recent promotion at the bank.
Which happens to be a lie.
I brought you all here today to see this man who you all
think is the kind, loving and ideal husband
when in fact he is nothing but an evil, wicked, deceitful,
cheating [sighs] husband.
-Not to mention a wife beater. -Ah.
[sighs]
You see,
these pictures were taken a while ago by my friend, Toke,
when she came to pick me at our house
where Ossy had left me bleeding,
in sweat and tears.
I lost our baby because of him. [sighs]
And this is what he sent me after I sent him a message.
There is your ideal man. Look at him!
You're wasting our time, Ossy.
Sign the papers.
Trust me, it’s in your best interest to sign it
or else you'll be in big trouble at work.
This contains all your confidential files.
What, you…?
I copied them and replaced them with dummy files.
I guess you pick up a thing or two
when you spend most of your time online away from your day's work.
[Oyin and Toke snicker]
Sign the damn papers!
Unless you want us to send the hard drive to your bosses at work
and you can explain all the shady deals
you've been making with the bank's clients.
Don't worry, we didn’t record videos
or take pictures of what happened to you tonight.
Revenge porn just isn't our style.
[Toke laughing] Mm-mm.
And you'll be paying for damages to the tune of five million naira.
I mean, it’s a fair charge we're giving you
compared to the damage you've done to her,
emotionally and to her business.
What nonsense! Look, if you…
Make the transfer.
-[upbeat music playing] -[laughing]
-[Oyin] Thank you! -[Gloria] Thank you!
Well, it seems like a lifetime ago that we were
in a club making bets over guys like Kalu.
-[Gloria laughing] -Yeah!
How is that guy, anyway? Where is he?
Who cares?! We're single and we're happy!
-[Gloria] Whoo hoo! -[Toke] And we're pregnant!
[all shrieking]
-[Oyin] What? Oh my…. -[Toke] Yeah. Okay,
so I found out like a week ago
but I didn't want to disrupt all our plans for catching Ossy. So,
that's why the juice.
Ooh!
[Toke] I was like…
Wait. Is it Olumide's?
Does he know? Does he know?
Um, we haven't been talking, okay?
Since the last time I confronted him about you,
but maybe I'll tell him. Maybe I won't.
It, it doesn’t matter. I'm happy.
[all laughing]
-I'm so happy! -I'm so happy!
Ladies! To happiness!
Amen! Whoo-hoo!
[all] To happiness!
Happiness!
[all laughing]
[mobile phone buzzes]
Ah! Em, I think it's time for me to stop running.
I really need to go to church on Sunday.
-Oh, that! -[Gloria laughs]
-[Gloria] Let her go. -You guys should come.
-You guys should come with me. -Mm-mm.
-[Toke] Well, not me. -[Oyin] You should come, you should come.
-No. -Ladies,
-there'll be lots of holy eye candy. -[Gloria] Hmm!
[Oyin] I apologize for not returning your calls.
I've, [chuckles] I've been dealing with a lot.
No need to explain.
I totally understand.
[clears throat]
Um…
there's actually something I want to discuss with you.
Oyin, I know you've been through a lot in the last few months,
but I have a proposition to make.
And no matter how difficult and hurt you might be at first,
I want you to really consider it before taking a decision.
[knock on door]
Hey. I, um….
What?!
[Oyin sighs]
Is it because of this vindictive fool
that you brought me here?
Oyin, please, just hear me…
I don’t want to hear anything you have to say!
Um, but who would have done this?
Wow! In this age and time of internet, I'm not surprised.
He needs to be locked in a cage
-and the key thrown away. -[Oyin] Girls, let's go!
[in Yoruba] Come on! [in English] Let's go!
-Let's go! -What's, what's going on?
-What's going on? -Please take your bag, let's go!
Wait, wait, wait, Oyinlola! Oyinlola Clegg!
Please, please, please, I am sorry.
Look, I haven't been myself ever since it happened.
Look, I came back because I, I need you in my life, please.
Oyin, please.
I meant it when I said I’ve never met anyone like you in my life before, please.
Oyin,
I love you.
I always have and I always will.
I, I know that you,
you might not want to love me back immediately and I get that. That's fine.
I also know that you may not want me back
in your life but once again, that is fine.
But I need your love.
And I want you to know that I'm willing to seek your love.
Pursue it.
Do whatever I must to make you mine again. Please.
[shakily] Please.
-[soulful music playing] -[mouth works silently]
How do I know you’re not just going to leave me hanging again?
-That this isn’t just another trick? -[Pastor T] No, It’s not.
I wouldn’t have let him anywhere near you, if it was.
Trust me, I’ve put him through hell
and high water before we got here.
Oyin, please.
Just give me one more chance, please.
[soulful music continues]
[Oyin] I'm still waiting for Ade to mess up.
But instead he seems to be getting sweeter
and sweeter as the days go by.
I finally decided to wear the ring today,
after six months of hesitation.
-You finally wore it? -Yes.
Thank you.
[Oyin] I don’t know what tomorrow holds.
But today,
Oyin Clegg is happy.
And she knows everything good will come.
[Ade] Thank you.
