- [Seated Person] Grand rising.
- What the- - Get up.
Get up!
- What do you, what is this?
What is going on?
What do you want? - Hemi.
Give me what I want.
Hemi, you're making this much harder than it has to be.
- Who are you?
I do not know who you are or what do you want,
why you are here, but I cannot assure you,
you have me mixed up with someone else.
- Hemi, Hemi, Hemi, how can I be so rude?
Allow me to introduce myself.
I am Tu and, Hemi, you know exactly what I want.
(anxious music)
- I do not know what you want. What are you looking for?
Listen, is it money? You want money?
I, I, I have some francs. I, you, you, you take it.
I give it to you. You take it and you just leave my house.
Please, I beg you.
- Money, my brother, I do not need your money.
I only have need of one of two things this evening.
We have already been tipped off by the carrier
that you received a package
from the United States the other day.
So either you give us the location from whence it came
or the jewel itself.
(anxious music)
- Jewel? (stammering)
Listen, I only receive,
I only receive a letter from my mother,
who I can assure you I have never met before, never.
(anxious music)
- Now you understand.
Where's this package that you speak of?
(anxious music)
- This does not make any sense.
(sighs) Wait, let me understand this.
You, you break into my house in the middle of the night,
you rummage through all of my things, looking for a letter
from a woman who abandoned me since I was only a child?
- [Tu] Hemi, you are making this
much harder than it has to be.
I don't ask for much.
(tense music)
- This is insane. It does not make sense to me.
But, but if it'll get rid of you,
(anxious music)
The letter is over there.
- You see, that wasn't that hard.
Now, one last question. Where can I find that jewel?
And I'm only asking, my friend.
(foreboding music)
- I do not know what you speak of.
- Of course you don't, but just in case.
(foreboding music)
(blade clicks) - Wait. What?
No, no don't!
(body thuds)
(anxious music)
(footsteps plodding)
(lively upbeat music)
- My best friend will make all the heads turn
as the most beautiful bride ever.
- I do look really fine,
don't I? - Yes, yes. Hey.
* Oh, oh, oh sexy mama *
* Mama be sexy *
* Hey *
* Sexy me mama *
* Ah oh oh *
* Mama sexy *
- [Seamstress] Would you please?
- I'm so sorry.
I'm a seamstress myself. I should know better.
- Surprised you didn't make your own wedding dress.
- I have far too much to do.
- Hm, wait until Kahraz sees his bride.
He will be blown away.
(Nahdulay speaking in foreign language)
- Oh, speaking of too much to do,
I must go and pick up the flowers.
We are only two weeks away.
- Oh, you are the greatest.
I don't know what I would do without you.
Muah, muah.
- I don't know.
- I should go with her.
We'll finish the rest tomorrow,
when you are less bothered.
- Sorry. Very well.
Hm. Oh, hm. Ooh.
(chuckling) Afa.
(dramatic foreboding music)
This is she.
(somber music)
What? No, no! (sobbing)
(person knocking)
No. (sobbing) Hemi.
(person knocking)
Hemi! (sobbing)
(sorrowful music)
(car horn blaring)
- Finally, she threw back the door and opened the cage.
Before the village knew that the king had vanished,
she had already repaired the handles
and Bamenda slept in joy
and never knew that it had ever been compromised.
And as she soaked her bruised and weary hands with salt
and steamed mud, she once again managed
to live on to save another kingdom on another day.
Oh, wow. What a way for Agatha to be triumphant.
It just goes to show,
you do not need recognition to be a hero.
She was selfless and still powerful.
She reminds me of all the women today and of all time.
- And I can see that.
I can also see that it can go beyond her gender.
You know, we all have a little hero in us from time to time.
And we know exactly what to do
and when to do it to save what we love.
- That is a very interesting take, Frank.
You know, in my country we have a saying,
but the village only survives
only if the night owl never sleeps.
- I need a silent hero
and a night owl to work on these bills (laughs)
and to generate peace and love.
- You had it right the first time.
- Would you please stop?
(lighthearted music)
- Well, look at the time.
(sighs) Don't forget, next week for Family and Friends Day
we will be taking on a genuine TV classic.
Don't forget to order your books from Shakii before then.
I hope you all have a wonderful evening.
Mercy and peace.
- [All] Jalan.
(gentle lighthearted music)
- Yes. This is the best book read yet.
- (scoffs) Girl, you say that every week
and we all know you came here for the wine.
- And we all know you came for the cookies. (chuckles)
Hmm, Mama Rose, another wonderful evening.
We appreciate how you bridge African and American culture.
- Oh, thank you ladies for your dedication.
- Of course, and we will definitely be here next week.
- Well, that's a treat.
I hope you have a wonderful evening
and next week we'll be having Merlot and wafers.
Thought you'd like to know. (chuckles)
(footsteps clicking)
(sorrowful music)
- (sobbing) Hemi. Hemi. (sobbing)
- Nahdulay, I came as soon as I heard.
- (sobbing) Why would they take him from us?
He would not have hurt a soul, Aunt Rebina.
- Oh, my child, this is awful news.
- I can't go on. He was my junior brother.
I watch over him.
- This I know to be true, Nahdulay,
but now is not the time to give into grief.
- I want whoever did this to suffer
and to feel the pain that I feel.
They take my brother away.
It was only two weeks before my wedding.
A matter of days before his birthday. (crying)
They don't deserve to live another moment!
- Nahdulay, there's something you must know.
This is the start of something sinister
more than you can imagine, my child.
You have to do as I say quickly now.
- [Nahdulay] What is going on?
- You must go to America and tell your mother.
- My mother? America?
What is this foreign language you speak to me?
I have not seen my mother in over 20 years.
I would not even know where to begin to look for her.
No one does.
(anxious music)
- You must go to America.
This is where you will find her.
(anxious music)
- I I, you knew?
You kept this from me?
I want to know what is going on right now.
I demand to know everything.
- It's not for me to tell you.
You must hear it from your mother. We are in danger.
We must protect ourselves. You must go now.
- I cannot believe you.
Remove yourself!
- Nahdulay, don't be foolish, my child.
Do not think with your emotions. Hurry.
- Leave me.
- I'm sorry child.
(purse clasp clicks)
I'm so sorry, child.
Sorry, my child.
(dramatic suspenseful music)
- You are a handful, woman.
You never miss an opportunity to show a little wit.
I love it.
I guess I will see you next week.
Unless?
- I'm not going out with you, Frank.
- Well, at least you can make me some fufu. How about that?
- Stop it.
- Hm, did you get the flowers I sent?
- Hush! Yes, I got it.
Why do you keep sending?
- Well, did it help my case at all?
- Frank, you know that I will not even consider
going out with you until you deal with your situation.
- I know, my hair
and don't even worry about that 'cause I can cut it.
- No, your wife.
(somber music)
- Listen, I'm working on that.
- Sure. - Just give me some time.
- [Rose] Frank, you have known me for over two decades now.
I am set in my way.
- I know, but what you don't know
is I'm just wearing you down, sweetheart.
- Why, Frank? Why?
- Maybe, 'cause I've never met a woman like you before.
I mean, it's ironic that your name is Rose
because that's exactly what you are to me.
- But don't you become a thorn in mine.
- You will see one day.
Anyway, you got mail. I left it on the counter.
- Oh, I got mail. Where, where?
Where'd you pu... Ooh.
- So you, you just gonna leave me like this right here?
- Oh! - Yeah, you know what?
I'm, I'm gonna go ahead and go, okay. (hand knocks)
Okay, like I'm going. Right now.
I'm going. Bye, Rose.
(troubling music)
- Oh, I feel I've made a horrible mistake.
(airplane engine roaring)
* Woke up this morning with the thought of you *
* I just met you yesterday I just met you yesterday *
* I know it's crazy yeah it's crazy *
* But I can't let you get away let you get away *
* I can't do much but want you bad I want you so bad *
* And I wanna get you in my glass wanna drink you up *
- Nadulee?
- It's Nahdulay.
- You ready?
- Do I have to put my luggage in myself?
- You need a ride?
- Oh, my God.
* Do ya do ya *
* Do ya do ya wanna go *
* Do you wanna go *
* Do ya *
- Ah, there's my soon to be bride.
My queen how are you?
- I've been better.
- You've made it to America, I see.
- Don't remind me.
- Ah, sweet darling, don't blow your head.
Do what it is you must do there.
- If only I knew what that was.
First, I lose my brother
and now I'm in America to see my mother
for the first time in two decades.
This is not how I expected this week to go.
- Nahdulay, don't worry. You will get to the bottom of this.
I will put my men on what happened to your brother.
Nothing will get past me.
- Ofa.
(tires screeching)
- Oh, shit! (metal crunching)
(dogs barking)
(door bangs)
Man, I'm so, so sorry. I did not mean to hit you.
I was just, I, I was, I-I don't know.
I was just, I-I don't know, man.
I was just trying to drive and everything, you know?
I don't know. I was just trying to drive.
I was-
(gentle tense music)
- Ma'am, are you okay? - No, don't touch me.
- [Oliver] Hey, hey, hey. I'm not trying to hurt you.
I just wanna make sure you're okay.
- [Nahdulay] Just too much going on. (crying)
- Look, look. Just get in, I'll take care of this, okay?
- Okay. - All right.
(gentle tense music)
- [Driver] Man, bro, I mean, my grandma
gonna kick my ass if my insurance go up.
Yo, I, (stammering).
- It's okay.
It is just a fender-bender.
- Are you for real?
(gentle music)
- It is. All right.
- You know what?
Let's just let it go, man.
We don't have to get the cops involved, all right?
- Right. - Yeah, I'm a driver too, man.
Just be more careful.
- Absolutely, Absolutely. So I can go?
(phone vibrating)
- (sighs) What do you want, Frank?
What are you talking about, Frank?
(scoffs) Everyone's done things, Frank.
(doorbell chiming)
Hey, Frank, I'll call you back, okay?
Hey.
We're closed!
(doorbell chiming)
I said we're closed.
Who is this? I'm telling you.
(keys jangling)
- Mother? - Nahdulay N'Cala?
(heels stomping)
- [Nahdulay] What are you doing alive?
And what are doing in America?
- My sweet little Nahdulay.
But you are a woman now.
Oh, I have so much to tell you.
- You left us.
You left us, you wicked woman!
And you deceived us all.
And you come to America and live as if we never existed.
Why did you do that?
(somber music)
- I did not. I would never.
- Oh, but you did. Why?
(somber music)
- Oh, I- - Do you want me
to stay confused after all this time?
I need answers.
- I never wanted this to happen this way.
I knew that some day that this time will come,
but I still am not ready for it.
Oh, I should have never sent that letter to your brother.
- What are you talking about?
- The letter that I wrote to Hemi.
He found a letter that I wrote to Rebina.
That is why you are here.
He found the letter
and he wants to know why I left after I give birth to him.
He want answers and I cannot explain.
(gentle tense music)
It was hard.
It was so hard leaving my children, my babies.
But I knew that they could never know who you were.
They were, oh my God.
This is not good. This is not safe.
- What is not safe? Let, let who know What?
- Wh-why are you here alone?
Something is not right.
(dramatic anxious music)
You would not come here without him.
(dramatic somber music)
No! No!
Hemi is dead?
(Nahdulay whimpers)
(dramatic sorrowful music)
- Aunt Rebina told me to come find you and tell you,
although you show him no honor in life.
I honor her request. But you do not deserve to know.
- I understand how you may feel, Nahdulay,
but it is not what you are thinking.
My honor is for my family.
(somber music)
Who else knows that you came here today?
Who else knows that you are here? This is very important.
- (sighs) Only my fiance. No one else.
- Good. You must tell no one else.
You are not safe, Nahdulay.
You are not safe here and you must go.
You must go now.
Nahdulay, you are not safe here.
Listen to me. Oh, here.
Listen, this is my friend Shakii.
- I am not leaving until I get answers.
- I beg of you.
You are not safe here. You must go now.
(suspenseful music)
(objects clattering)
Go to Shakii. You are not safe anywhere but there, okay.
I promise I will tell you everything tomorrow.
Everything that you want to know, everything.
- Very well.
I will go, but I will be back
and I want to know what is going on.
I want to know everything.
- Trust me, I will tell you everything.
But you must go now
and I will not stop until I unearth those monsters
who did this to your brother, my Hemi.
- It is too late for you to play mother now.
I've done that job already.
(heels stomping)
(dramatic suspenseful music)
(door banging)
- (screams) My Hemi. (crying) My boy.
* Oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah-yeah *
* Yeah yeah yeah-yeah-yeah *
* Oh oh oh *
(suitcase banging)
* When I look into your eyes *
(object clattering)
- Need some help? - You.
(traffic noise droning)
I'm fine. Thank you.
- There you go.
Seem like you're having a crazy day, huh?
- You have no idea how crazy it's been.
- Well, I hope something goes go better for you.
I'm sorry, Oliver.
- Nahdulay N'Cala.
- So, uh, are you staying somewhere around here?
- No, I am not. I have an address and I need a driver.
- Oh, well you're in luck.
I happen to be in between rides
and I'm looking to do a good deed today.
- You're a driver?
- Yes, but don't worry, this one's on me.
I just want something to go right for you today.
Uh, where you heading?
- Um. Here...
(paper rustling)
Can you, can you take me here?
- Walkertown? Yeah, that's like 20 minutes away from here.
- So you know where it is?
- Yeah, I can look at any address
and tell where it is by now.
But, uh, yeah I got you.
Come on, get it. - All right.
- [Oliver] Let me get your stuff for you.
- Thank you. - After you.
* Your love is stronger than the ocean *
* All across the *
- So, what country are you from?
- Um, Nafaree, a small country in Africa.
- Nafaree, I've never heard of it.
I'm from Greensboro.
What brings you to America?
- I came here to see my mother, but I wish I had not.
- Oh, that's deep. Wanna talk about it?
- I'd rather not. Besides I do not know you.
- I get that.
(chuckles) I can understand that
and I don't mean to intrude at all.
But, uh, I get kinda used to it, you know?
That's one thing I love about my job.
It's kind of like I'm a therapist.
- Hmm, a car driver that is a therapist.
- I guess people are more inclined
to talk to people that they don't know.
- Is that a fact? - Yeah.
I guess they don't feel like they're being judged
or made fun of.
- Hmm, seems like something
that would make you world go around like a spinning planet.
- What, talking to people about their situations
and circumstances?
- (speaking in foreign language), I mean, yes.
- (chuckles) I'm used to it.
I've done it all my life.
You know, I've always been a good ear
for people when they wanna talk about things
just to get it off their chest.
- Hmm, thank you for your interest,
but I am not one to burden another with my stories.
- No, I understand.
But you do kinda owe me.
- I owe you?
- Yes, you owe me a good conversation.
- I owe you a conversation, yet I do not know you.
- I mean, y'all did run into my car
and I just got a new paint job.
- [Nahdulay] I apologize for that. (sighs)
- [Oliver] It's all good. It's all good.
- That driver was so obnoxious.
- Yeah. - And I apologize
about my behavior.
- Oh, it's all good.
Uh, we can just listen to music if you want.
- It had been over two decades since I had seen her.
When she left us, I was just a little girl
and I will never forget that night.
I cry like a baby
because for some reason I knew she would not return.
- Your mom?
So you came here to confront her?
- No, (sighs) my brother was killed.
So my aunt told me to come to warn my mother,
but she doesn't deserve to know he died.
And then she tells me that I'm in danger.
- Wait, do you feel like you're in danger?
- I want to know what happened to my brother
and I feel like coming here to America
is just wasting my time.
Especially, for a woman that I never knew.
- Why do you feel like you're aunt wants to warn your mom?
- I don't know.
The sad thing is nobody even told me where my mother was.
- That's suspicious.
- That's confusing. But I will be fine.
How long do you drive?
- [Oliver] 15 minutes.
- I mean, um, how long have you been a driver?
- Nah, no, I know what you mean.
I've been driving for a few years now.
Actually, I'm a teacher.
I only do this on like summers or when school is out.
- Hmm, (speaking in foreign language), it is unique.
- (sighs) Yeah, that is unique.
Well, uh, we're here.
(gentle upbeat music)
- [Bartender] What's up? What can I get for you?
Two shots of JM, brother.
- [Bartender] Two shots coming right up.
- Hey, another.
(gentle anxious music)
Hey, hey, another!
- Same thing Mr. Bossy?
That's one. - Yes.
- [Bartender] And two. Appreciate you.
Must've been a rough day.
(gentle anxious music)
- Give me what I ask.
Man, you kinda pushy ain't you?
That's not too nice.
- Don't, shout at me!
- Say, man, what's your problem?
(bartender grunting)
- I suggest you pour me another drink-
- Mm-hm, okay. (grunting)
- Before I change my mind about letting you live!
- (moaning) Okay. Okay.
(phone notification chimes)
Oh, okay. (moaning)
- Hello?
(bartender moaning)
Nyet, don't worry. I do my job.
(speaking in foreign language) It will be done.
(gentle tense music)
(gentle bright music)
(person knocking)
(gentle bright music)
- Shakii? - Tis my name.
- I am- - Nadi.
Nahdulay, I would not open my door for just anyone.
Come get in while you fit in.
Oh, oh. (chuckles) Oh, Dr. Ship. (chuckles)
It's crazy, with the click of a button
you'll have your whole house
looking like storage compartment. (chuckling)
Are you hungry?
- Uh, no, I'm fine. Thank you.
- You could use a little meat on your bones.
But very well, have a seat.
(gentle curious music)
(gun bangs)
You know the key to this is to make sure
you're rolling tight enough
so you can fit as much in, do you smoke?
- No, I don't.
- You do not eat. You do not smoke.
You just don't.
I hope you're not one of those uptight ladies.
You're much too pretty for that.
- Okay, I think this is a bad idea and I'm going to leave.
- Oh I see, you have a stick up your rump.
- Pardon me?
- A little uppity, are we not?
Would you like a spot of tea?
- Spare me. Okay, and I am not uppity.
I'm in a whole nother country to find answers
and I've been pushed to some dungeon.
- Dungeon? (laughs)
You think this is some sort of a game, do you not?
Your mother is trying to protect you.
She tell me herself. Enough to know you are in danger.
And I know what happens
to little uppity naive ladies when situations occur.
- What did she tell you and why did she send me here?
- Hand me that glass. Nevermind.
(gentle tense music)
(bottle cap rattling)
(gentle tense music)
(exhales) Okay, where was I?
- Okay, um, I've seen enough.
I appreciate your extend,
but I, I will be staying somewhere-
- Sit down. Sit down!
(gentle anxious music)
You are not here for fun and games.
I know you are angry with your mother
because she was not there.
But this is greater than that.
You mother protect you and you are safe here
because I don't play, at all.
Until then, give weight and you will know.
Your room is in the back on the left.
(traffic noise droning) (gentle anxious music)
(phone notification buzzing)
- Hey, Rebina, my sister. Eh, she told me what happened.
Uh-huh. Yeah, thank you for sending her here to me.
Yes, I will keep her safe. Hmm?
Keep your guards near until this is done.
No, that king will not get away with this.
- (chuckles) Give me what I want.
(dramatic foreboding music)
- Who are you and how did you get in here?
- (sighs) Do you know what I did to your son?
(foreboding music) (soft heart beating)
- You get out of here now!
- Eh, I said give me the jewel.
- You will never get the jewel.
(dramatic suspenseful music)
- (moans) Ow!
(both grunting) (suspenseful music)
(staff clatters)
(Tu grunting) (Rose whimpering)
(suspenseful music) (soft heart beating)
(dramatic suspenseful music)
Shakii. (soft heart beating)
(expectant music)
(suitcase bangs)
(expectant music)
(gentle music)
(window whining)
- Thank you so much, man.
These things are so easy to forget.
- It's okay. Happens all the time.
- Well, I owe you one.
- No, it's no problem.
- Well thanks, man. I just hope I'm not holding you up.
- No, I don't have any other passenger scheduled today.
I just need to pick up a lady.
- Ooh, a lady, huh?
- Nah, nah, it's not like that.
- Well, I know blushing when I see it. (laughs)
- Nah, I just met her yesterday
and she needs a ride to the airport.
- I'll tell you what, you enjoy that
and I'll see you tomorrow.
Thanks again, man.
(soft romantic music)
(Nahdulay clears throat)
(soft romantic music)
- Catch me in the back room. I'll see you shortly.
(soft romantic music)
Hmm, I'll make breakfast, or not.
Where are you headed?
- I'm so sorry about yesterday
and I appreciate your hospitality, I do.
But I must get back to Nafaree.
- You do not need to go to Nafaree.
You need to sit down and wait to hear
what your mother has to say about what's going on.
Let's end this.
Infused eggs. They will relax your nerves.
- (sighs) I- - Mm.
- [Nahdulay] Do not need eggs, Shakii.
- Hmm. - And I do not
need to hear another word from my mother.
I have pressing issues
that relates to my brother in my village.
- Balah, balah, balah, balah.
- Excuse me.
- You want to leave
before you hear what your mother has to say?
- There is nothing she can say to me
and this charade has went on long enough.
It is robbing me of the time
that I need to know what happened to my brother.
There was time for her to inform us, but she was not there.
- Fine, little one, if you must go, so be it.
Javier, bring me the car tag off the shelf.
Not the expired one.
I will get my keys and give you a ride.
- That is not necessary. I have a ride.
- Who?
(person knocking) Huh.
(door clicks)
Wait! Lift up your hands.
(tense music)
Guess I'll sit my rumpus down then.
Javier.
(floorboards creaking)
* Oh baby baby *
* I I wake up in the morning *
* To the rush of your smile yeah *
- Please tell me you're having a better day.
- I cannot.
Not until until I'm back home
and I don't remember any of this.
- I must admit,
I'm a little surprised you're leaving so soon.
- [Nahdulay] And why is that.
- I don't know.
You don't strike me as the type
that would like to run away from things.
- I am not running away from anything.
* Always shining bright *
- I don't know.
You're leaving and there's a lot of unanswered questions.
- All of the questions have been answered.
I do not need to be in America.
It's foolishness to be here.
I am wasting my time
and things that I could be accomplishing.
- That's your conclusion? - Yes, it is.
What else is there to learn?
- Well for starters, there's a lady
who moved your brother and you from another country.
And I'm not saying she's right in what she did,
but I mean she does deserve a chance to be heard out.
Look, we're passing by there on the way to the airport.
I think we should just stop by
so you can say bye to her at least.
- So she can make me believe that I am caca
for hating what she did to my brother and I?
I can do without it. I do not need to hear another story.
I can be home working on what I know
and not what someone wants me to believe.
- Oh, so you're gonna just believe
what you wanna believe, huh?
- You act as if you know so much about me, but you don't.
Have you ever flown halfway across the world to tell someone
who left you as a child that someone you loved was murdered?
Do you know what it feels like to look
and have to carry that pain in your heart, losing two people
and having to look one in the eye?
I didn't think so.
- I I-I'm sorry, Nahdulay.
I, I-I'm just, I-
- Assuming? Projecting?
Whatever it is. I do not need your therapy today.
(tire booms) (brakes screeching)
(tire rumbling)
(air hissing)
(Oliver exhales)
(tire hissing)
I'm such an unlucky person, right?
- Actually, I think this might be fate.
- Why do you say that?
- Well, it's gonna take me all of five minutes
to fix this flat, but it's ironic that it happened to be
within a block of your mom's bookstore.
Maybe, you should go at least say bye to her.
But I'm gonna leave that up to you.
(Nahdulay sighs) (pensive music)
(birds chirping)
(Oliver chuckles)
(gentle tense music)
(tools clattering)
(pensive music)
(door bells ringing)
- Rose?
(gentle tense music) (soft heart beating)
(tense music swells)
(Nahdulay gasps)
Mother! (purse bangs)
(foreboding music) (soft heart beating)
(Nahdulay screams) (Nahdulay sobbing)
(jack clangs)
(gentle foreboding music)
(sobbing) Mommy.
(gentle foreboding music)
Mommy. (crying)
- Nahdulay, oh.
(Nahdulay sobbing)
(foreboding music)
- I see. You haven't heard anything?
This is crazy.
Oh, okay. Anna, keep me informed.
- What did they say?
- (sighs) They haven't heard from Rose.
I know something bad has happened.
- What about Nahdulay?
- She is safe at Rose's friend's house.
- This is caca. You should be ashamed of yourself.
How dare you let Nahdulay go on for this long,
not knowing any of this.
And now you sit here surrounded by guards
while she is in a dangerous place.
- Uh-uh, you watch what you say to me now.
I did what was best at the time.
Besides, she will still be in just as much danger here.
- (speaking in foreign language), you act as if
you really care.
- You could never say that I don't care.
I've lived without my sister for two decades.
I helped to raise her children, keep them protected.
Maybe, just maybe, I should've said something earlier.
But even now my heart breaks.
I know something bad has happened to my sister.
I feel it in my blood.
(gentle somber music)
- What do we do?
- Can't you see? We can do nothing.
The king and his guards are watching our every move.
Oh, (sighs) maybe we could just wait
or by some great mercy Nahdulay will be okay.
(birds chirping)
- Ooh, it is a little chilly.
Ah, it's beautiful.
- Thanks. (birds twittering)
It's a place I go when the world stands still.
And if you close your eyes, close your eyes,
take a deep breath.
Nah-uh, slowly, slowly.
Just like that.
You'll hear as the world just fades away.
- Hmm. (birds chirping)
That was soothing.
How did you know to bring me here?
- That look, that look on your face.
I've seen it before.
It was the same look I felt that night,
seemed like I ran for days and somehow I ended up here.
And I felt as if the world wrapped around me in a big hug
and it took away the pain.
The pain of losing my mother and my aunt.
(birds twittering)
And ever since then, this is where I come
when the pressure seems like it's too much.
And these rocks, an added incentive.
(birds chirping)
- You are a kind man.
Believe it or not, this actually reminds me of home.
We have a place there that we called Pacheco,
it's a place kissed by Mother Nature.
She pulls you in her arms and wraps you tight.
I think this is your Pacheco. Thank you for sharing it.
- Well it was either here or the Rib Shack,
but, but this place was closer. (chuckles)
- Hmm. - Pekashas, I like that.
- [Nahdulay] He-he-he, it's Pacheco.
Hmm, I can't explain it,
I still feel the pain and this incredible pain,
but at the same time, I feel a sense of joy.
- That's what you're supposed to feel, Nahdulay.
Nahdulay, I wanna help you.
I wanna help you find out who did this to your family
and I wanna protect you.
(birds chirping)
- I can't ask you to do that.
- But I feel like I must.
Nahdulay, I think you should stay here in America
for a few more days.
We can find out who did this
and we can get, we can get some answers.
- I, I don't know. Um, I don't know.
- Just two days. Nahdulay, something's not right.
And that gives us enough time to get to the bottom of it.
(serene music) (birds chirping)
- I don't have anyone else to turn to.
I guess I could just stay for two more days.
But where would I go?
(birds chirping) (serene music)
- Your friend.
- Shakii? Eh, she's a loose cannon.
- That's even more the reason why we need her.
Plus she knows your mother. She may have information.
- Well, I guess I can try.
You know, I never got to know my mother,
never got the chance to forgive her.
Hemi's dead.
I just wanna find out
who is responsible for this so that I can-
- So that we, we can get justice.
Nahdulay, I won't let you down.
- Thank you, Oliver!
(serene music)
* Get closer *
* Oh-oh can you tell me tell me tell me *
* We need to get closer yeah *
(Shakii giggles)
(Shakii laughs)
* Do anything to me girl *
(person knocking)
- You have gotta be kidding me! Oh!
(heels stomping)
Did you not fly back to Nafaree?
I was in the middle of something,
Something, big.
(playful music)
Come on in. Hey, husband put some clothes on.
We have company.
(door bangs)
(Javier speaking in foreign language)
(Shakii speaking in foreign language)
We will have to postpone our party.
I'll see you in the (kiss smacks) dungeon.
Did you miss your flight?
I do not loan money.
I'm not that kind of woman.
- I don't need any money and I didn't miss my flight.
(sighs) This is not good.
- As you can tell I don't have all night.
Uh, so what's the problem?
- I went to the bookstore and-
- [Shakii] And what?
- And- - And she found Rose dead.
(suspenseful music)
- Rose? Someone killed Rose?
(suspenseful music)
- [Oliver] I'm afraid so.
- For god's sake. God, please no.
Wait- - I opened the door
and the place was a mess.
It's like whoever did it was looking for something.
- I bet they were.
They were looking for trouble.
(suspenseful music)
(gun clicks)
(suspenseful music)
(objects clattering)
Rose would not hurt a soul.
She did not deserve this.
Better believe, a thrashing is coming.
- Could this be connected to what happened to my brother?
My mother tried to warn me
and she did say I would be safe here.
- Did she tell you anything
about what they were looking for?
- No. That is what she was going to tell me today before...
- We were hoping
that we could get some answers by coming here.
- Oh, I see. I must be honest with you.
Well, Rose did not tell me much at all.
(soft foreboding music)
- Well, what did she tell you?
- I've known Rose all my life.
She helped me when I was in tight spot
after moving here from Seychelles.
I did not know about you
or your brother until two years ago.
She tell me she need my help.
She say she had something that someone wanted very badly
and she would hold it until the time was right.
- Could that be what they're looking for at the bookstore?
- Could it be what they were looking for at my brother's?
No, but that doesn't make any sense.
If my mother had it here,
then why kill my brother in Africa?
- Unless, they don't know who has it.
And if they didn't find it at your mother's bookstore then-
- Then I'm next.
- Over my dead body!
Rose came across the world to protect you.
She deserves loyalty now more than ever
and I will give it to her.
I do not have all the answers.
But I think I may know someone who does.
- Who? - Who?
- [Shakii] She told me there is a relative who lives here.
His name is Hummbey. This is where you would find him.
- (speaking in foreign language),
I have more family here?
(anxious music)
- Go now. Before someone finds him.
- I can go for you, Nahdulay.
- I will need to be there.
- These people mean business.
(foreboding music)
- I got it.
(foreboding music)
(footsteps plodding)
(Shakii clearing throat)
(objects clattering)
(anxious music)
(Shakii sighs)
* They ain't stopping nothing they ain't stopping nothing *
* They ain't stopping nothing they ain't stopping me *
* They ain't stopping nothing *
(loud banging)
(glass tapping)
* They ain't stopping me *
* I been doing this here gig *
* I'm a (indistinct) creator *
* All the Negro brothers they ain't stopping me *
(bottle bangs)
(glass taps)
(hand slapping)
* They ain't stopping me *
(faint upbeat music continues)
(glass clanks)
(heels clicking)
- I would've been happy to fill your glass for you.
Well, I can do more than just fill your glass.
They say I'm addicted to trouble
and I know trouble when I see it.
(upbeat bar music)
That don't scare me.
(phone notification chimes)
* They ain't stopping nothing they ain't stopping nothing *
* They ain't stopping nothing they ain't stopping me *
* They ain't stopping nothing they ain't stopping nothing *
- Hey, the name's Roxette.
* They ain't stopping me *
* All the people bow *
(upbeat music continues)
(doorbell chimes)
- Who's there?
(doorbell chimes)
- [Oliver] We're looking for Hummbey.
- [Nahdulay] I'm Rosie's daughter, looking for Hummbey.
(door creaks)
- Who sent you?
- No one sent us.
We just have some questions for you.
- You're Rose's daughter?
(tense music) - Yes.
- You have nerve to show your face here,
especially, after what your mother put our family through.
- I, I do not know what you mean.
- You know exactly what I mean.
That Rose was a thief with no conviction.
She did not care who she destroyed.
- Hummbey, we know very little about Rose.
That's why we're here.
- Then you're lucky.
- I don't know what my mother done to you,
but I can assure you I am only here to find out
how to put it into the danger for us.
Someone killed my brother and someone killed her, as well.
- Rose is dead?
- Yes, someone broke into her shop and killed her.
(somber music)
- Hmm. - Look, you are
the only person that I know
to ask why my family is being tormented.
Please, I beg of you if you know anything, please tell me.
(solemn music)
- Your father was my junior brother.
He married your mother in Seychelles.
They were friends with the king.
One day when your mother was pregnant with your brother,
they were at the king's castle.
(scoffs) Somehow she fell into the room
that held the blood jewel.
(suspenseful music)
- The blood jewel? What's the blood jewel?
- In our culture,
the only way to tell the true king
is by who possesses the rare blood jewel.
Without the jewel,
the king would always be in jeopardy of losing his kingdom.
That night she ran away with the jewel
and was never seen again in Seychelles.
Word spread that she moved
to another African country to raise her children,
in hopes of one day returning with her son
and the blood jewel to claim the throne.
(suspenseful music)
When she left, they killed my brother
thinking that he put the entire plan together.
She shamed our entire family.
(suspenseful music)
- I'm so sorry.
I did not know any of this about my father or my mother.
My mother was a thief?
- So why now? Why come after her after all this time?
- The king of Seychelles is to die very soon.
His son is in line to be the new king.
But he will never be the new heir
unless he has the blood jewel in his hand safely.
- So she contacted my brother to give him the jewel
so that he can be the new king?
- Yes. No one is safe until
it is found.
Do you know where it is?
- I don't have a jewel nor do I have a clue.
But if I did, I would plant it so deep in the king's hands.
This is a shame. Please, you have to believe me.
I had nothing to do with this.
I feel sorry for my father.
(solemn music)
- I believe you.
I must give you something.
(solemn music) (soft heart beating)
(object rattling)
Here, this is a bracelet that your father wore.
Take it and let it be the peace
that proves that there is no bad blood amongst us.
You're not like your mother.
(soft heart beating)
- But how do we protect her from the king's people
for something that she doesn't even have?
- How do I know you don't have the blood jewel?
Why would I put my life in jeopardy like that?
- Would I be here asking questions if I had it?
I am without a family.
The last thing I want is some useless jewel.
- Not even if it made you a queen?
- I want nothing less.
I want my family to be left alone for good.
Do you know how I can contact them?
I can tell them that I don't have this jewel,
but they will pay for what they did to my brother.
- (laughs) They're too powerful for you, little one.
Very well, I'll contact my friends
and let them know that you don't have the jewel.
But I warn you,
(dramatic music) never try and cross them
or you won't live to see the rest of your life.
(dramatic music)
(siren wailing)
(solemn music)
- There has to be answers somewhere in this place.
(siren wailing)
If I were Rose, where would I hide my secret?
(anxious music)
(foreboding music) (heart beating)
Who is there?
(suspenseful music)
I said, who the hell is there?
- [Frank] Don't shoot!
Please, don't shoot.
- Frank, what are you doing here?
You almost had a hole in your forehead.
I smoke weed, man. My nerves are not so good.
- (hand bangs) Listen, I'm sorry.
I just, I just couldn't sleep.
You know, the thought of Rose not being here anymore.
I just can't believe she's gone.
(sorrowful music)
- I also cannot believe it.
- You know, I, I remember
when she opened this place up for the first time.
She was so excited.
It was almost as if she started
a brand new life for herself.
(somber music)
And from that day forward,
I just wanted to make sure
that I was a part of everything that she did.
- Yes, I noticed.
- She didn't deserve this.
- Surely, she did not.
I know you liked her, Frank.
- What? Did I tell you that?
- Of course not.
You were the only one tacky enough
to bring her those ugly flowers every other day.
- You know what? And she hated them.
She hated them with a passion and I knew she hated it.
But, you know, I just, just wanted to get her attention.
- Surely, you got it.
I mean, a married man buying corny flowers.
- But how did you know I was...
Right, you got me.
- You are a funny man.
- I just wanna know who did this to her and why?
- I know it. That's why I'm here to get answers.
Because I'm afraid for someone and when I find them,
hear me when I say it, they will feel pain.
- You and I both.
(solemn music)
- (sighs) Do you know anything about her that I don't?
(anxious music)
Frank, I need you to tell me what you know.
- I, I don't know.
- I don't believe you.
- Okay listen, you have to promise me
that you will not judge me.
- Of course I will. Just tell me!
- Okay. Okay-okay.
Look, last night I was riding through the neighborhood
and I stopped by here and, uh-
(anxious music)
- [Shakii] Did, did you see anything?
- Yes. I saw someone leaving here,
a man.
He was, he had on dark clothes
and you know, I saw that and I was furious.
I got home and I called her, but she didn't answer.
But I never would've imagined
that she was in here fighting for her life.
- It's not your fault.
Would you be able to recognize him if you saw him again?
- I mean, it was dark but, yeah.
- (sighs) That helps. But he could be anywhere.
- Right. Uh, but there's more.
- Okay. - You're already judging me,
Okay-okay.
Look, listen, the truth of the matter is,
I, I didn't come here to grieve Rose.
I came here
(anxious music)
looking for this.
- You were spying on her?
- Look, you're judging again.
- It's impossible not to.
You're a real creep, man.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
So if you placed the camera there,
you may have recorded the murder.
- And that's exactly what I came here for, to review it.
- [Shakii] What's on there?
- I don't know.
It's, it's a little grainy,
but I'm pretty sure that's the man
that left here last night.
(foreboding music)
- I have an idea. Rosie's daughter is staying at my place.
We can put our heads together
and figure out what to do with this.
And Frank, next time you think I'm someplace around
you better speak up
because you are almost smoked plantain.
(ominous music)
- I hear you breathing. I knew you'd be back.
- [Tu] Someone said they saw your people around here.
- So you had me followed?
- [Tu] I have my eye on you.
(ominous music)
- It's over now. I did what you needed me to do.
- [Tu] Did you? What did I tell you to do?
- You said you would spare me if-
- If what?
- If I call you and told you
that someone would come looking for the jewel.
- [Tu] Yet, I received no call.
- I didn't call, but they came and they were clueless.
(ominous music)
- They? Who is they?
- Rose's daughter.
She came with an American man.
- Why, now you tell me?
- It is settled.
They did not come looking for the jewel.
They came for answers. They know nothing.
- Hm, and she would tell you if she did, huh?
- It is settled. I mean I've thrown them off track.
I told them that it was stolen.
Look, she's already having it hard.
Rose did not raise her.
She fled and left them with her sister.
There's no way she could know what you think she knows.
- That explains a lot of things.
You know, I thought keeping you alive
would work to my benefit.
- I am no threat to you and neither are they.
So go your way and we'll act as if nothing happened.
- You know, I would really, really like to do that.
But you see, can the king trust someone who knows so much?
I don't think so.
- [Hummbey] He is no king.
He has no real blood right to the throne.
- Oh, but he is on the throne.
You sound bitter, old man.
Do you believe that you are worthy to be on the throne?
- Go away. You got what you come looking for.
I, I did as you asked.
So you can go away. I, I won't say anything.
- And I am to trust someone
who will betray his own flesh and blood?
I don't think so.
(book thuds)
- [Hummbey] So you plan to kill me?
- (chuckles) Did you think that you would live through this?
- Wait, I only want peace, but I'll make a deal with you.
- A deal?
- Put your gun down and let's fight man to man.
And if you win, you have nothing to worry about.
- And if I die?
- Then I will tell my niece the truth about the jewel.
(suspenseful music)
- (laughs) Oh, you are serious.
(suspenseful music)
- I will fight for my family's honor.
- So, you suddenly have honor now.
(suspenseful music)
(neck cracking)
Okay, let's do this.
(suspenseful music)
(blows thudding)
(Hummbey gasping)
Old man, I can make this quick and painless for you.
(Hummbey grunts)
Come on.
(suspenseful music)
(blows thudding)
(suspenseful music)
(both grunting)
- You can tell your king, the fraud,
that he underestimated me.
(suspenseful music swells)
(gunshot blasts)
(Tu gasping)
- If you needed my help, you shoulda just asked.
(chuckles) Strong old buzzard, ain't he?
Now I told you I like trouble
and by the looks of it I was right.
- I can handle it.
- Roxette.
- I can handle it, Roxette.
- But can you handle me?
(zipper whirs)
We're gonna see.
- [Tu] Come on. Yeah, let's see.
- [Roxette] Um-mm, um-mm. Um-mm.
(body thuds)
(suspenseful music)
(insects chirping)
- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.
I can't believe I came all the way to America
to ruin every good thought I had about my mother.
It would've been easier
to accept that she just abandoned us.
But to know that she put my brother
and I's life in danger because she was a thief.
- Nahdulay, I don't think it's that simple.
- You heard it yourself?
- Yeah, but I think it was more to it than that.
- Well, that is where we disagree.
- Footage. I have footage.
I went to the bookstore to see what we overlooked
and Frank was there and he had footage
of what happened to Rose when she was killed.
But it's very grainy.
- Who's Frank?
- How did he get that?
- You don't know him. It's a long story.
(thunder rumbling)
What is wrong with you?
- We went to go see Hummbey.
He told us that my mother stole a jewel
that determined who is the king.
(thunder rumbling) - She would never.
- I don't know how well you know my mother,
but a woman that can abandon her children
is definitely capable of stealing.
- So what's your plan now?
To move and act as if nothing has happened here?
I don't care what you think she stole,
but her life is worth something.
- And my brother's wasn't?
(thunder rumbling) (somber music)
- Rodeo, I can get this video to my cousin
and he can take the image off
and we can find out who's responsible for this.
- That's the best thing any of us have said all night.
(phone vibrating)
Ooh, I have to go pick up Javier.
I will return soon.
(solemn music)
- No worries. She'll be safe with me.
- I'm fine.
(solemn music)
(thunder booming)
(phone vibrating)
- (sighs) Ofa, (speaking in foreign language),
I will take care of it tomorrow.
(thunder cracking)
Ah. - Is that, uh,
(clears throat) is that about the situation from earlier?
- Mind your business American woman.
- Oh, it is my business now.
- Go back to sleep.
(thunder rumbling)
- Hmm, you should try taking a different approach.
Oh, you're not gonna ask me what I'm talking about?
- No! - (sighs) The man said
she didn't really know her mom.
(rain pattering)
We can use that to our advantage.
- We? Lady, I work alone.
(rain pattering) (thunder cracking)
- Uh, I'm Roxette
and I'm the woman that saved your ass earlier.
- (speaking in foreign language) What approach
do you want to take?
- Just follow my lead
and I'll give you everything that you need.
(rain pattering) (thunder rumbling)
- Careful, it's hot.
- Thanks. I got it.
- It's rooibos tea. It's good for stress and relaxation.
My Aunt Rebina would make it for us
when we had crazy days at school and it somehow would work.
What are you doing?
- I'm turning off my availability for tonight.
- Oh, you don't have to do that on my account.
- Nahdulay, stop. I wanna be here to protect you.
- That is kind of you.
Oh, ooh, it's a little too hot.
How did you drink that?
- It's not that bad.
- Hmm. You know I've been meaning to ask you.
Do all drivers ride with gun.
- Only the ones that know
they're about to meet a dangerous woman.
- I'm not a dangerous woman.
- I'm just kidding.
When I was younger, my uncle took us to self-defense classes
and, well, they taught us how to shoot.
Since then, I took my gun with me and it's been a habit.
You never know when you're gonna need it.
- (chuckles) Uh, I would've thought you were more-
- I'm hoping you were gonna say resourceful.
- Just thought you were lower key.
- I'm a junior high school teacher.
These days you have to be a lot tougher than you look.
(thunder rumbling)
- Hm, it's been hard trying to be tough these few days.
- Considering what you've been through,
I think you're damn tough.
- (chuckles) But I feel like I'm busting at the seams.
I mean it's also overwhelming.
(rain pattering)
- (sighs) When you're at home
and it seems like things are just falling apart,
what do you do to let it out?
- (scoffs) Well, I dance, but-
- I got an idea.
(cup bangs)
Okay, stay there.
(thunder rumbling)
Okay, how do you work this thing?
Ah, there it goes.
All right, show me something.
(gentle dance music)
Don't feel guilty. Show me something.
- Okay. (gentle dance music)
* I can see it in your smile now *
* I can see it in your eyes *
- This is the dance of Seychelles.
* I can see from your body a light doddy doddy *
* You're a hot toddy toddy *
- Follow along. - Okay.
- [Nahdulay] And bring it around.
* Girl you blow my mind like I've never seen *
- All right. I think I got it.
* Atomic submarine *
* Play me like a tambourine *
- And now you move and bring it around.
* My heart skips a beat *
- Okay, yes, you do well.
You do well.
- [Oliver] I do well?
* Love conquers all, love conquers all *
- Yes.
* To your touch *
* You're heart and soul *
- Now, look. Let me show you how we did in my country.
- Okay.
* Ofa aye aye aye *
* Shalom ofa aye aye aye *
* Ofa aye aye aye oh yeah *
* Ofa aye aye aye oh yeah oh yeah *
* Ofa aye aye aye shalom *
* It isn't never stopping no-no stopping no-no *
* Body you see pumping now-now *
* But it must be wrong *
* I'm gonna speak in tongues *
* Or watch shala-bona-nah-nah *
* Ain't never stopping no-no stopping no-no *
- Mm, I have to take a shower.
- Nahd, Nahdu, Nahdu.
Nahdu. (door clicks)
* Sexy big mama *
* Mama be sexy *
- [Nahdulay] Hello, Kahraz.
- Ah, there is my bride to be.
It is a pleasure to see your face.
- Yeah, you too. I just wanted to see you.
It's been crazy here.
- What has been going on?
- Someone killed my mother looking for a jewel.
I found out she was a thief.
And I'm sure the people that killed Hemi killed her.
My mom's friend and a driver have been helping me,
but I can't help but to wonder if all of this is in vain.
- It seems that you have so much going on, my dear.
- At this point we are still trying to get answers.
- Have you found out anything?
- No. The driver's looking
into something.
- That is nice of him,
as long as he keeps his hands to himself.
- Uh, yeah, of course.
- Sorry, I haven't been there yet.
They pushed back some meetings.
But I will be there in a few hours.
I'll make it up to you.
- Okay. Kahraz?
- Yes, my dear.
- I've been thinking about the wedding.
- Oh, oh, no worries.
Amir has informed me that everything is going as planned.
- You still wanting to marry me?
- Of course.
I will be there soon
and we will fly back together on Friday.
We will put your brother to rest in peace
and then we'll start our lives together.
Oh okay, I have to go.
They're here to take me to the airport.
I will see you later on today. Ofa.
- Ofa. (sentimental music)
- Morning, cuz, what's up?
- [Rodeo] Good morning, man. What is good?
- What you working on today, man?
- Okay, so you remember the app
I was telling you about, right?
- Um-hm. - I found a way
to put all the components into one program
and I'm telling you it's amazing.
Take a look, bro.
- Wow. You know what?
You never cease to amaze me, man.
- Cuz, I thought you knew.
- But, uh, I need your help with something.
I got this camera
and I need to get an image off of it, but it's grainy.
- Hm, come on, cuz, I thought you had a challenge for me.
Look at this thing.
- So you can do it?
- Man, cuz, I got this.
I created this app that recreates images
based on actual positions on film.
And it's smoother than your girl's ass,
you know what I'm talking-
- Uh-uh, Rodeo.
- Baby booty's smooth, cheeks all in your face.
You just wanna (jabbering).
- Man, stop. Stop.
(Rodeo laughing)
Look, no, but for real, I need this as soon as possible.
I have a friend who's in trouble and this might help her.
- It's that serious, huh?
- Yes, it is.
- (sighs) Oh, mmm.
All right, I'll see if I can get a background check on it.
- Oh, thank you, man. I really appreciate it.
Thank you so much.
- Um-hmm. (chuckling)
- Morning, Trish.
- Um-hm. You driving late last night?
- No, I was not driving late.
I had to take care of some business.
But thank you for looking out for Rodeo.
- Hey, man, let me tell you something.
I am an adult and I can look after myself.
I'm not a charity case. Thank you.
- Oh, we know Rodeo.
And, Oliver, you really don't have to keep thanking me.
He is my cousin too.
- Cousin. - We're family.
We gotta stick together, mmm.
- Here it comes. (chuckling)
- Also, I'm gonna need your help
moving in my new house next week.
- I knew something was up when I smelled breakfast.
- Hey, this is a breakfast that comes with a price tag,
okay. (chuckling)
- Trish, I got a question to ask you.
- What is it, Oliver?
- How do you know when a lady likes you?
- Hmm. There ain't no right answer to that one.
But in most cases, honey, you just know.
- But what if I'm wrong?
- And if you're wrong, you'll know that too. (chuckles)
So Oliver, who is this lady?
- I just met her the other day
and she's going through a lot.
But I just can't shake the feeling
that we have a connection.
- Ah, is that the one that's got Rodeo doing this video?
- Yep. - Yeah, that's her.
- [Trish] Hmm, it's not like you to talk about just anybody.
Must be one hell of a lady.
- That, she is.
- Come on baby, come on baby. - Hmm, get her name,
social security number, telephone number,
mmm. - Three, two, one. (laughs)
Yo, check this out.
(hands clapping) Got him.
Looky here.
(gentle anxious music)
Now, does he look familiar?
- That's the guy from the video?
- [Rodeo] Looks like. Looks kinda dangerous too.
- Never seen him before.
- Mm, I'm still doing the background check,
but I can email you this image if you want.
- Do that. You know what?
I'm gonna send this to Nahdulay right now.
- Suit yourself.
- Thanks, man. That helps a lot.
I gotta go.
- All right, go.
- Hey, hey Oliver, you, you didn't finish breakfast.
Is that a yes on the moving? Oliver!
- You gonna finish that egg?
(upbeat music)
- (yelping) Are you just going to stand there?
- I don't know how to do that.
- [Shakii] No, (yelping) help me. Give me a hand.
- Okay, okay, okay.
Okay, okay, easy.
(Shakii yelping) Easy. Okay, go back.
Go back. Sit, sit.
- Oh! - There you are.
(Shakii panting)
Okay, maybe you should do that later.
- Yeah, it was my socks. It was my socks.
- Uh-huh, right. - My socks.
My socks.
Oh, who was that?
- Just Oliver.
- The nice man that stayed here last night.
He's cute.
- He's okay.
- Are you blushing?
- No, I am not.
- Why aren't you answering?
- It's just a text. I'll look at it later.
- What happened here last night?
- Absolutely nothing, Shakii. I am betrothed.
- (sighs) Well, you better be careful
because the way that man looks at you
it's hotter than the sun back home.
- Really?
I mean, I'm set to be married in a couple of weeks.
Besides now is not the time to entertain a Negro.
- Oh, when love calls.
Nothing is strong enough to stop it.
- Nothing is happening.
- Well, you better tell him that
because that man's heart is on the fast track to you, girl.
(hand smacks) Oh. (person knocking)
- I'll get it.
- I'm sure it's my packages.
Just put the boxes on the floor
next to yesterday's delivery.
- Why do you order so much stuff?
- I like variety. Let me live.
(ominous music)
- Can I help you?
- Hi, my name is Ronita and this is my husband Jama.
We are friends of Rose.
- Who is at my door?
- Uh, they say they are friends of Rose's.
- How did you get my address?
(anxious music)
- Rose gave us the address
and I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to her,
but we, we're meant to deliver something for you.
(suspenseful music)
- Oh, one moment.
- [Roxette] Okay.
(suspenseful music)
- What do you think they want?
(metal clinks)
- [Shakii] I don't know, but I don't like it.
- Maybe she gave them the address
knowing what was gonna happen to Hemi?
- Okay. - I mean,
should we just see what it is they want?
- Okay, but I promise you
they are in the right place if they are wrong.
- We can skip all this.
- And what, ruin the fun? Nah.
- I'm ready to pull out my gun!
- Hey, wait, wait.
Remember we're doing this my way.
Okay?
- Okay. - All right.
Thank you.
(suspenseful music)
- Uh, come in.
- Oh yes, thank you. Hi.
- Hello.
- Please excuse our manners.
It's been crazy around here lately.
- I, I can see. But we won't take much of your time.
- Okay. All right.
- I am Nahdulay, Rose's daughter, and this is-
- A friend. Why are you here?
- Oh, yes. We came to bring you something.
Isn't that right, honey?
- Oh, yes.
(ominous music)
There you are. - Yes.
Rose told us to bring this
and she made me promise to deliver it
if something ever happened to her.
- Yes. - I haven't opened it.
(suspenseful music)
- [Shakii] Open it. Go ahead.
(suspenseful music)
- Is that- - What is it?
- [Nahdulay] The jewel?
This is what got my brother killed?
Is this what was more valuable to my mother than our family?
I mean, I had heard of it,
but I didn't know it really existed.
(suspenseful music)
- Wait, is that the birthright jewel of the king?
How did she get it?
- My mother stole it.
(suspenseful music)
(jewel clatters) - I, I did hear that
it was a rumor.
So it's true?
- It is.
- No worries.
My husband and I would take it back to the king.
We are on our way to Seychelles tomorrow.
- Yes. - We can deliver it.
- [Nahdulay] Please do.
I don't want anything to do with it.
Everyone is dead because of that, jewel!
(emotional music)
- [Shakii] Excuse me for a moment.
(suspenseful music)
- This is your big plan? - Shh.
I mean it's, it's obvious.
They don't know anything.
She doesn't have it just like I suspected.
- Oh, but what do we do now?
- Nothing. We don't do nothing.
They don't know anything. It's not the real jewel.
- (exhales) See, you talk like you are a dangerous woman.
- I'm a bit disappointed. They don't have it.
(anxious music)
- How do you know? How can you be sure they're not playing?
- Because I'm a woman and that lady don't know shit.
What you wanna do? Kill these clueless women?
- That's the plan.
- No, that's your plan.
I'm ready for the next adventure.
I'm getting bored already.
You know what?
We should let the big guys take over
and find the real jewel, Tu.
She pissed me off.
- We do not have time for this.
- It hurts to hold the very jewel
that got my brother killed.
- We'll let them have it. Let them take the jewel. (sighs)
(traffic noise roaring) (dramatic music)
- Where you going? - They are taking too long.
(Shakii sighs)
(heart beating) (anxious music)
- [Shakii] God of heaven!
Look at this.
- That's- - I knew
something was off about them.
I'm going to blow their heads off.
- Wait, wait. That doesn't make any sense.
Why would they be here?
If they have the jewel, why are they here?
- They don't have the jewel.
- Well, why do they want to say that they do?
- I don't know.
But soon they'll be wondering if we have the real jewel
and they'll be right back here.
(suspenseful music)
- Yeah, we need to go to the police.
I can't let them get away
knowing that they killed my brother.
- And your mother, too.
(dramatic booming)
Funny thing.
I was actually thinking about letting you live.
I can't do that now, can I?
(dramatic music)
- Please, I beg of you.
- Not in my house. Shit.
(suspenseful music)
(slap smacks) (Nahdulay gasps)
(Shakii moaning)
(both grunting)
(foreboding music)
(Tu groaning)
- [Tu] No! No!
(staff banging)
- Put your phone down. Put it down!
(suspenseful music)
Hey, get over here.
(suspenseful music)
(staff clatters)
Get in here.
Go sit down. Get your ass on the couch.
Get up! (suspenseful music)
- Let's get this over with.
I'm done with the theatrics.
- Yeah, So we can go finish what we started. Our usual.
- [Shakii] Wait. I know what the jewel is.
- (laughs) Do you think I'm stupid?
- Wait, wait-wait-wait. Let the lady talk.
Let her talk.
- [Shakii] You've endured much trouble.
Why not capture the real jewel?
- [Nahdulay] Yes. What do you have to lose?
- You better not be lying to me, old lady.
- [Shakii] Old lady?
- Where is it?
- [Shakii] It's here.
- But then go get it.
- [Shakii] Over there. I can get it for you.
- [Roxette] No funny business.
(tense music) (soft heart beating)
(gunshots blasting)
- Shakii! (crying)
Please, if you leave now I won't say a word. Please.
- Sorry, my friend. But this is my show.
- Jamma. (gunshots blasting)
- (crying) Shakii!
Shakii! Shakii, please, you must survive this, Shakii.
- What's going on? Shakii.
- She's been shot. - Baby.
- [Nahdulay] (stammering) Um, yes,
I need the police and an ambulance.
Yes, my friend has been shot and she's bleeding.
It was a home invasion.
Oh-oh, okay.
- I'm gonna take her to the hospital.
- (stammering) Oliver.
Oliver, I'm at Shakii's. (whimpering)
(foreboding music)
- [Officer] Is there anything else you'd like to add?
- We told you everything, officer.
- I see.
- Are they dead?
- No, they're in critical condition.
But we will get to the bottom of this.
You keep my card.
- Thank you. We appreciate it.
(door bangs)
I think he thinks we got something to do with this,
but we got the truth on our side.
- I want to thank you for everything
that you've done for me.
- Of course, beautiful.
- I mean, now that this is all over,
we can go back to our regular lives.
- Yeah, and I know this may not be the best of times,
but about last night. - About last night.
- [Oliver] I loved everything about it.
Like you're an amazing woman.
You're everything I ever thought I'd-
- I can't.
- What's wrong?
- Uh, I'm so sorry.
I've just been in distress.
- Distress? That passion, that fire, that kiss.
That wasn't distress.
- I was vulnerable.
- (scoffs) Vulnerable?
Wait, are you saying I took advantage of you?
- No, no. That's not what I'm saying, Oliver, it's-
- Then what are you saying, Nahdulay?
You know what?
I've noticed that when things get too tough
or it gets hard on you, you feel like you gotta run.
Why can't you face how you feel head on?
- Oh, that is what we're doing?
Poor Oliver that has to save everyone.
But he can't save himself from wanting to save everyone.
What are you running from?
- (scoffs) I'm not running from anything.
In fact, I'm sitting right here.
I'm sitting here because I feel something for you.
Something that even the strangest of circumstances
can't stop me from feeling.
Nahdulay, I know you feel it too.
I, I love you.
- I can't. Um, this isn't right.
Um, I'm, I'm engaged.
(emotional music)
- What? - I'm engaged
to be married to Kahraz in a couple of weeks.
I can't do this with you.
(emotional music)
- Oh, oh, I get it.
You only used me here to protect you
like your American callboy.
- I didn't ask you for any of this.
(emotional music)
- But you knew my feelings for you were growing,
but you didn't stop
until you had me in the palm of your hands.
- Stop it, Oliver. You're scaring me.
(somber music)
- Maybe that's why you didn't tell me about your fiance.
- You don't even believe that yourself.
I didn't know that you were gonna kiss me.
I didn't expect any of this.
- You can't do this, Nahdulay.
- Do what?
- Even your eyes.
Your eyes right now,
they're telling me that you feel something.
Look me in my eyes and tell me that you don't feel the same,
then I'll go.
(emotional music)
(person knocking)
- Hello, my bride.
How are you? Muah.
How are you doing, my darling?
Mm-mm-mm-mm. Who is this?
- Um, this is Oliver, the man I was telling you about.
- The driver?
- This is my fiance, Kahraz Ezu.
- Nice to meet you.
(emotional music)
- Same. Anyway, I'm about to go.
I'm sure y'all have some catching up to do.
- Oh, wait. For your troubles.
- You can keep your money.
(door clicks)
- What is wrong with him?
- Nothing. Uh, let me get your bag for you.
- Of course, darling.
(tense music)
- (sighs) Kahraz, Kahraz.
Where do I know that name from? Kahraz, Kahraz.
(microwave door bangs)
(heels clicking)
- Oliver. Oh, Oliver.
Oh, Oliver.
- (sighs) I'm sorry. What's up?
- Hm-mm. What's going on?
Seems like your mind's somewhere else.
- Must be that girl he's been helping out.
Did my footage help?
- Yeah, I did. Thanks.
- Then what are you moping about?
- I guess my help wasn't good enough.
- Oh, Oliver, I know you didn't honestly think
she was gonna come jumping in your arms
just 'cause you helped her.
- No, I didn't. I guess I just misjudged the situation.
I just felt like we had a connection, I guess.
- So what, did you find out she's going away forever?
Did she get locked up?
(solemn music)
- No, she did not get locked up.
(sighs) She's, engaged.
- Hold up.
- Oh, Oliver.
- (sighs) Well, she's safe
and that's all that matters, I guess.
- No, no-no, cuz, we not trying to hit it.
You giving up too easy.
It's obvious you seem to like her. Wake up!
- None of that matters now, man.
She's safe and I guess I'm okay with it.
(Rodeo sighs) Anyway, uh,
I gotta get to work.
At least I still have that.
- And you got us too.
- Whoop-de-do.
- Oh, come on, cuz. You need a hug?
Come on. That's all you need.
Come here. Let me give you a hug real quick.
Come on, cuz, you need a hug, man?
Come on, everybody needs a, where you going, man?
Give me a hug. Come here give me a hug.
- All right. Stop it, Rodeo.
- [Rodeo] What? I was just playing.
(somber music)
- When will you be able to come home?
- Javier, would you hold it, hold still.
I cannot see, there. (metallic banging)
Okay, I'm sorry, dear.
Javier and I will be home very soon.
(kiss smacks) Hello, sweetie.
Oh yes, you know they have to make sure
all the tests are clear.
But you see, (blows with lips) I smoked that plantain.
- (chuckles) Yes, you did.
I don't know what I would've done without you.
- Owe that to Oliver.
Remember he sent the photos of (indistinct) in his text.
Where is he? Oh, wait, wait.
Oh, can you put some ice in this, please?
Thank you. - Okay.
- [Shakii] An angel, yes sir. Where is he anyway?
- I'm not sure.
I haven't heard from him since.
- Hm. That man cares about you, girl.
- He was just being a nice guy.
- I know a lot about nice guys and something was there.
- You are imagining things.
- Anyway. - Hold it still, Javier,
or I will smack you.
- I can't believe that my mother was a thief.
That is so hard to swallow.
- I don't believe that part.
She was always a caring friend to me.
Her memory, her name will always be that way with me.
- Well, at least you got the good parts of her.
I have to live with the fact
that sometimes our imagination
protects us from the rotten truth.
- You just take care of my place while I'm away, okay?
- Don't worry. Everything is well.
As soon as you return, I'm heading for Nafaree.
I have a wedding to plan.
- Just don't start the honeymoon in my bedroom.
You know we just ordered
some new satin sheets from Dr. Ship
and, uh, we have not broke them in yet.
Uh, maybe I shouldn't have told you that.
- Uh, don't worry, you have nothing to worry about, okay.
- Bye. - Ofa, Nahdu.
- [Nahdulay] Ofa.
- [Kahraz] Seems like fun.
- You have no idea.
Where is my kiss?
- Well, I'm glad she was here to take care of my bride.
I can't imagine it going any other way.
- Tell me about it.
You know, I still haven't fully processed
everything that happened.
- Don't, you'll have plenty of time after the wedding.
Once I make you my bride,
you won't have to worry about anything.
- Can I ask you a question?
- Ask me anything you like.
- Do you feel attracted to me? A connection?
Like one that shoots up your spine when you see me?
- (chuckles) You mean like fantasy movies?
- Like real life.
- Nonsense, I'm more of a realistic man. You know that.
I know that when I'm with you I'm happy
and I know that you and I will be
good husband and wife to each other.
- [Nahdulay] So you've never felt this way?
- No one does. Besides, who thinks like that?
- I don't know.
Maybe someone who feels like there's an ocean inside of them
that is churning with unimaginable power
when they lock eyes with the person they love
and their entire world is drifting
and they feel off balance.
But then they feel a comfort in knowing
that the other person feels the exact same way.
(emotional music)
- I know you were a wonderful seamstress,
but I didn't know that you were into fantasy movie making.
- Oh. Oh.
- You guys never found the jewel?
- That's the crazy part.
We fly halfway around the world
to look for a jewel that was never found.
- Tis true. Seems like a waste of energy.
Why didn't your mother save you the trouble
and give you the jewel when she met you?
Maybe she didn't have it. - True.
After all these years, I meet her in a rundown bookstore
and she just pushes me off.
She gave me a, box.
Wait, I think I know where the jewel may be.
- Really? Where?
(utensils clattering)
- Something's not right.
I know that name from somewhere.
Kahraz, Kahraz Ezu.
(paper crinkling)
Dying King Azukai will name son Kahraz Ezu, the new king.
(dramatic booming)
Nahdulay. (dramatic music)
- Where is that box?
- A box? - Yes,
when I first came to America Rose gave me a box.
She said it was important.
- Is that so?
- I don't know why I'm just now thinking about this,
but it has to be here somewhere.
Wait, Kahraz, how did you know to come here
when you came to America?
- You sent me the address, remember?
- [Nahdulay] No, I don't.
- You had so much going on, you've probably forgotten.
(gentle tense music)
- Finally, the jewel!
- I can't believe it. It was here the entire time.
I had the stolen jewel the entire time?
- Stolen? (laughing)
Silly girl, you believe anything people tell you, don't you?
- What are you talking about?
- Your mother never stole the jewel.
- What do you mean?
- Your father was the real king of Seychelles.
And my father was his most trusted right-hand man.
One day your mother got news
that my father was going to assassinate him,
take the jewel and become king.
But before she could warn your father, it was too late.
He'd killed him already.
That night your pregnant mother
found a way to take the jewel and flee the country
said it was safer to divide the family.
So my father pretended to have the jewel and become king.
But his entire rule went into searching for your family.
It just so happened
that we had one of our spies in Nafaree
when she and your brother began to write to each other.
(suspenseful music)
- You lied to me.
You lied on my mother.
You killed my brother?
You played me for a fool?
- Of course, I mean you were valuable
but not as valuable as the kingdom.
I assumed you knew much about it,
but I couldn't chance it
When I heard there was a daughter I set out to marry her,
because if the jewel showed up, I would still be king.
- But why go through all the trouble
when you was already set to marry me?
- What if the jewel or your brother
or your mother came forward with claims from the wedding?
And now that my father is on his dying bed,
I wanted to leave no doubt that I am the true king.
- Oh, so now that you have the jewel,
there is no use for me.
- Oh, you know the story very well, don't you?
Well, you're a little too late to change it.
All I need is my jewel.
(dramatic music)
- You wicked, evil man and you will not get away with this.
- Oh, I surely will.
Once I get rid of you
and take the jewel for myself,
I will leave no doubt I am the real king.
Too bad it must end this way.
(dramatic music)
(Nahdulay gasps)
(Kahraz moans)
(Nahdulay whimpering) (Kahraz growls)
- Get off of her!
(Kahraz groaning) (Nahdulay coughing)
(Nahdulay crying)
- You're not even worth a bullet.
(gun clatters)
(gentle ominous music)
(Kahraz speaking in foreign language)
(Kahraz moaning) (blows thudding)
(heart beating)
(Nahdulay panting)
(suspenseful music) (heart beating)
- (panting) Wait. (soft heart beating)
(fist thuds) (Kahraz moans)
(suspenseful music)
- This is for her mother.
(fist thuds) (Kahraz yelps)
And this is for her father. (panting)
(Nahdulay crying) (suspenseful music)
(Nahdulay gasps)
- I love you. I love you, baby, I do.
I do. I-I do, I'll give you the jewel!
I love you, baby. Do it for me.
- This is for my brother!
(gunshot blasts)
(suspenseful music) (Nahdulay crying)
How did you know?
- Uh, I found this article at Hummbey's.
(paper rustling)
Are you okay?
- I'm fine. I'm so sorry.
I feel awful and my mother was just trying to help.
- It's okay. You didn't know.
- This is the real jewel.
I owe it to my mother, my brother
and my father to make this right.
Wait.
(sentimental music)
- [Rose] My dearest children,
it breaks me to say that I love you both with all my heart.
Hemi is my sun and, Nahdulay, you are my moon.
Yet I know you may feel otherwise,
but you must know that all that I did,
I did it for you.
And in time, you will understand the sacrifices I make
and my love will forever watch over you
as the night owl never sleeps.
(sentimental music)
- I've been so foolish and so blind.
- You've been misled, but you remained strong.
- I remained wrong.
My stubbornness and my unwillingness to get through my
past
has caused me to lose everyone.
- Nahdulay, you haven't lost everyone.
You still have me.
- I love you, too.
* Yeah yeah yay-yay-yay yeah *
* Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh *
* Reaching for the sky when I look into your eyes *
- Ladies and gentlemen.
It is a great esteem that I present to you
our true queen Nahdulay N'Cala
and our new King Oliver Lewis.
You may kiss your bride.
(guests cheering) (guests applauding)
* Tell everyone that time is marching *
* To celebrate hearts are watching *
* Ooh-ooh together it is our time *
* Come over here don't stand and watch it *
* You know this is the better option *
* Ooh-ooh together it is our time, oh yay *
* Hey ya hey ya *
* Ofa ofa ofa ofa *
* Hey ya hey ya *
* Ofa ofa ofa ofa *
* Said a-hey-hey-hey-hey *
