Blood Sisters

Ah!

Sarah, it's okay.

It was only just a dream

You're safe now.

Go back to sleep. We have a long day tomorrow.

Sleep. Sorry.

I welcome you all in the name of the Lord, our savior.

As we celebrate the life of Kola Ademola,

a son, brother, uncle and friend.

I will hand over now to his brother

to say a few words.

If anyone had told me that I'd be burying my brother today…

If they had said his killer would be someone he loved and trusted…

someone he shared intimacy with…

Today is a hard day.

But then it would be harder

if I didn't have the support of my wife, Olayinka,

my son, FJ.

Akin, Kola's best friend and best man.

If you look around, as well,

you'll see there are other faces not here with us.

Like our dear sister, Timeyin.

Who's now in the UK trying to complete her studies.

I said give me the soap.

-And I said no. -Who do you think you're talking to?

Who you think you're talking to?

-Where you think you are? -Eh!

As we lay my brother to rest today, please,

kindly put my mom in your prayers.

She's been through a lot.

She is broken.

Unfortunately, she cannot be here today because our-- our tradition forbids it.

I mean, our family is no stranger to grief.

You know, my mother lost her husband,

our beloved father, 20 years ago, and still she remained strong,

un-bended, and helped build his legacy.

It's been weeks since you started the investigation into my son's murder,

and I haven't received any updates.

Madam, we're working on it.

So you keep telling me!

Fatai.

Your department could use some help.

We are going to find those girls.

Wherever they are. Mm?

Rest in peace, Adekola.

We miss you.

Why, in heaven's sake, is there so much noise here?

Hmm. Timeyin…

This chaos has your name written all over it.

Sister Rose.

They bury my brother today.

Please, I need to attend his funeral.

And I need more discipline, patience, and yet here we are.

This is the only chance I get to say goodbye.

Please don't rob me of that.

Do you need someone to blame?

Well, I suggest you look in the mirror.

You chose to pick up those drugs.

You… chose to do them, not so?

Please.

It's okay.

What are you doing here?

Don't worry. No one saw me.

I wanted to be here for you.

For Kola.

This is not the time or the place.

He was my son too.

Don't you ever say that again.

Kola was an Ademola.

He lived as an Ademola.

And in death, he will be remembered as one.

You made sure of it when you chose your wife

over me.

Or should I say your career?

Mr. Minister.

But the moment I turn my back…

…like this, they're talking about me.

What is it? Who?

What do you think? Huh?

Is it not that your shameless daughter that has brought disgrace to this family?

Calm down.

-I think you should-- -No, no! Don't… I cannot calm down!

-Calm down. -I cannot…

I think you should…

What is happening? No, no, no!

No, no, no! God, please.

Mama Nkechi! Somebody! Anybody!

Madam.

What's the progress on your side?

I'm almost at a location.

Do you trust your source?

Yes, I do.

We go way back.

I'll give you the number of the superintendent.

Call if you need backup.

Who's that?

It's Kenny.

Hey.

-Hi. -Hi.

It's not a lot of money,

but I figured in case you guys need to buy some stuff for the road.

Thank you.

Okay, so, um, I'm just gonna go… I'll go out and leave you guys here, okay?

Mm-hmm.

-Wait one moment. -Okay.

-Call me if you need anything. -Okay.

-Thank you for setting us up here. -Of course.

So, um, everything is set with the border guys.

By this time tomorrow, you'll be in a new country,

starting a new life.

Thank you.

For everything.

Yeah, sure.

I mean it.

I'm going to go and get your passports now.

Kenny…

Shit.

Shit.

Some people are saying that they used him as some form of sacrifice.

I have to take this. Excuse me.

Hello.

Did you really do it?

It's not that simple.

Then make it simple.

Yes.

He was beating her, Akin.

It's been going on for a long time.

On the day of the engagement he was strangling her.

I don't know, he had a gun and then he dropped it, I…

I picked it up and I…

I fired.

I just wanted to stop him.

I didn't mean to kill him.

Why are you telling me all of this?

Because you're a good man.

And because you deserve the truth, Akin.

Well, I hope they catch you.

You and Sarah.

I hope they lock you up

and throw away the keys.

Boss? Boss, please can you carry us to the marina?

Eh! That depends.

Boss, as we are right now, we don't have money.

But we beg you in God's name. We have to get to the marina, please.

You don't have to pay with cash, you can pay in kind.

Don't talk any more.

Make sure you search every car properly.

Yes, sir!

Shit.

-Well done, eh. -Wait. What about Kenny?

He'll see our shack's on fire and go back where he came from.

So we can't leave him there, we have to warn him.

With what?

With what, please?

If you haven't noticed, we don't have phones. No money. Nothing.

Let's go, please.

What about our passports?

Shit.

Exactly.

Where did he say we should meet him?

Freedom Park.

How…

How…

How are we going to get there?

-Thank you so much. -Thank you. And we'll talk further.

-Thank you so much for coming. -Thank you.

-Thank you. Thanks a lot, yeah. -Thank you.

Yeah, Mommy, that's the last of them.

And yet here the two of you still are.

-We thought we could keep you company. -You thought wrong.

Close the door on your way out.

-Mom-- -Mom must be tired.

We should let her get some rest.

You should listen to your wife. She has more sense than you.

Do you have them?

I lost them.

Where are you?

I'm just leaving Makoko.

They couldn't have gotten very far.

Send me your location. I'll forward it to the IG.

-Looks all right. -Yes.

You have to keep them clean. Otherwise, you run the risk of infection.

I might have some information on Kola's case.

I got a call from Kemi today.

Kemi Sanya.

Self-employed in marketing and advertising.

Pretty good at it too, from what I gathered.

Sarah's best friend and her maid of honor.

Yeah, that's-- that's her.

So, what did she have to say?

Any information that you have

will be very useful in finding your friend's killers.

Yeah, sure. She said Kola was a monster.

That he wasn't the man that I thought he was.

Why would she say that?

Well, apparently, he used to beat Sarah up.

"Apparently."

You don't believe her?

Inspector, I… I knew Kola for many years.

I never saw him hit a woman.
