"Kate appears frustrated and irritated."
KATE
(Turns to Von who was about to give a presentation.)
Everyone you have recruited so far hasn't been able to meet up to our standard so why should we believe that you will get it right this time?
VON
Because I know I am right about this.
KATE
(Turns to Code 9)
Dad, I still think this is a total waste of time.
CODE9
(Turns to Kate)
So, what do you suggest we do?
VON
Dad!
KATE
I think we should close down our base in Abuja for now.
Von's ideas have not worked so far.
CODE9
Hmm, true.
VON
Dad, you cannot do that.
CODE9
Give me a reason not to.
VON
I will
(Turns to the presentation screen)
I and my team have put a lot of work into this.
Mr. WALTER
Go straight to the point, Von.
VON
We found someone who was able to sneak drugs into one of our potential targets for a long time.
This young man
(Points at a picture of Efe on the screen.)
From my source, he was able to bring our products into Winners Academy.
CODE9
Winners Academy!
Hmm, that is interesting.
VON
I know, right?
KATE
And so, what?
That is not enough reason for us to reconsider...
VON
(Interrupts Kate)
He sold fifty packs of F7 in his first attempt.
Seven hundred and fifty in his first week.
Mr. WALTER
Wow, that's a lot for a secondary school kid.
KATE
That is impossible.
How did he do it?
VON
(Chuckles)
That's a very good question.
Unfortunately, I do not have an answer to that question which is why we have to bring him in.
CODE9
Hmm, are you certain of these numbers?
VON
Yes, sir.
CODE9
Hmm.
Bring him in, then.
This doesn't mean we are letting you off the hook.
If he fits into our plans, then we will try one last time, but if this fails, then we will have to shut down our base and warehouse in Abuja.
VON
It won't fail, sir. I promise.
"Code9 gets up and walks out of the scene without saying a word."

Oh, God what is wrong with that guy?
SANDRA
Who is that?
KEMI
That Nerd.
SANDRA
You mean Efe?
KEMI
Yeah.
SANDRA
I think he likes you.
KEMI
(Rolls her eyes)
Then he should summon up the courage and tell me.
SANDRA
Hmm, true.
But you know you are way above his league, right?
KEMI
Does it matter?
He is a man.
SANDRA
Whatever
(Files her finger.)
KEMI
(Catches him gazing again)
He is doing it again.
SANDRA
Ehh, let him look, na.
That's his business.
KEMI
Why is Gemma sitting so close to him?
SANDRA
How is that your business?
Don't tell me you are beginning to like him too.
KEMI
Meaning?
(Sandra smiles mischievously at her.)
Stop, it's not funny.
"Gemma sits beside Efe."
GEMMA
(Pushes some change into his pocket.)
My friends liked it, so I want more of it.
EFE
How many tablets this time?
GEMMA
Make it thirty.
EFE
Alright
GEMMA
So how do I get them this time?

(Whispers.)
Shut up.
(Smiles at Kemi.)
Hi.
KEMI
You know I was wondering if you were at the cafeteria today to eat or stare at me.
EFE
What?
Who? Me?
KEMI
No, me.
EFE
Oh, sorry I didn't mean to.
KEMI
You know walking up to me for a little chat isn't a crime.
EFE
Really?
KEMI
Yes!
Really! Staring at me like that is creepy
EFE
I'm sorry about that.
KEMI
It's fine, just say hi if you want to.
EFE
(Smiles)
Sure, I will
KEMI
Alright, see ya
(Turns to leave.)
EFE
I would love to have your number if you don't mind.
CHETA
Wow!
KEMI
I will give it to you if you summon the courage to walk up to me tomorrow.
(Walks out of the scene.)
UCHE
(Wraps his hand around Efe's shoulder as they walk towards the main road)
Wow, she likes you, bro.
EFE
Stop.
It doesn't mean anything.
CHETA
Bro, this is your one-time opportunity to shoot your shot.
It's obvious she likes you.
EFE
(Smiles)
Hmm.
CHETA
Ehen that reminds me
How many products did you sell today?
EFE
Just hundred tablets, it was a slow day.
UCHE
Guy that's still a lot.
At least you can assist your Mum in clearing those debts.
EFE
Yeah.
"A black minibus suddenly stops in front of them, two masked men step out of the bus and grab Efe."
CHETA
Let him go
(Cheta and Uche attempt to free Efe from their firm grip.)
"The men in black push Cheta and Uche away, they push Efe onto the bus and drive away."

"Bob gazes at Efe."
BOB
Isn't he too young?
TIGA
I said the same thing.
VON
He is our only hope, guys.
"Efe gently opens his eyes and struggles to talk."
BOB
Boss, he is awake.
VON
(Walks towards Efe)
Mr. Efe
(Pulls off the tap attached to Efe's mouth.)
EFE
Who are you?
What do you want from me?
VON
(Smiles at Efe as he lights a stick of F7.)
Relax, Efe we are not here to hurt you.
EFE
Then why I'm I here?
VON
You are here because you are special, and you will be instrumental in my plans.
EFE
Instrumental, how?
What do you want from me?
VON
You, Efe.
You are what I want.
EFE
Why?
VON
Because I want to know how you were able to bring drugs into Winner Academy.

"Efe turns to Mr. Eric."
EFE
That was how I was recruited.
Mr. ERIC
Hmm, so you were their strategy to save The New Gate's base in Abuja.
EFE
Yes, sir.
Mr. DUKE
So, if all you have said is the truth, then it means you are very important to the company.
EFE
Yes, I am.
Mr. ERIC
(Jots down.)
Since you are a very important asset to the New Gate, then shouldn't they be protecting you?
Because according to you, they framed you for this.
EFE
Yes, sir, it's...
Mr. DUKE
(Interrupts Efe.)
Why the hell will they do that?
Make us understand.
EFE
Because I was trying to escape.
I came here intending to run away from them.
Mr. ERIC
I want to believe you, Efe but I think there is more to this than you are telling us.
EFE
This is the truth, sir I swear.
Mr. ERIC
The New Gate are very organized and their policies against betrayers are very unethical.
Killing you would usually be their only option so I am just wondering why they will choose to frame you.
EFE
Because they do not want me dead.
They need me.
All of this is just sort of a kind of punishment for my actions.
Mr. DUKE
Hmm, that makes sense.
Mr. ERIC
(Gets up to leave.)
Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Efe, we will do all we can to lessen your sentence.
EFE
Can I ask for a different compensation instead?
Mr. DUKE
You are in no room to negotiate, young man you should be thankful...
EFE
(Interrupts Mr. Duke)
I know and I'm grateful, but this is important.
Mr. ERIC
What is it?
EFE
Is it possible for this not to get to the public?
I do not want my family to find out about my present situation, please, sir.
Mr. ERIC
That is not within our control, you are a criminal involved in a very serious case all of this must come out to the public it's only a matter of when, son.

Mr. ERIC
What do you think of Efe's story?
Mr. DUKE
Well, it's obvious there is more to it.
Mr. ERIC
I do not believe his story.
Mr. DUKE
What's there not to believe?
Everything he said aligns with the evidence against him.
Mr. ERIC
I know but I think there is more to it.
Efe is not innocent, but I also think he is a victim here too.
Mr. DUKE
How?
Mr. ERIC
First and foremost, his story of being framed makes no sense I mean why would they do that?
Mr. DUKE
To get back at him for trying to run away.
That makes sense to me.
(Chews on a hamburger)
Do you care for?
Mr. ERIC
No, I'm good, thank you.

TUNDE
Why can't you see that I am doing my best here?
KEMI
Why can't you understand that I do not care?
Take your kindness and sweetness elsewhere.
TUNDE
What else can I do to make you love me, Kemi?
I will do absolutely anything for you to open your heart to me.
KEMI
All I want from you is to let me be!
I cannot love you
TUNDE
Why?
KEMI
Because I am in love with somebody else.
I can never love you.
(Tunde attempts to slap Kemi.)
Go ahead, hit me!
It won't change how I feel about you, it's just what it is.

Then let it be.
The teacher won't kill you for not knowing it.

True but my Mum will.

Why would she do that?
BEMA
Well, finals are getting close, and that over Sabi Math's teacher told my Mum that I am not doing well in his subject.

That's sad.
You can copy mine.
BEMA
So that you will tell the whole world that you helped me.
No, thank you.

BEMA
Faith, please!
FAITH
Do not pretend like you are not interested in what I have to say.
She likes you too.
BEMA
(Turns to Faith,)
Why are you so interested in this?

Because it reminds me that I am living with a dude who is scared of expressing his feelings.
It's like an opportunity for me to put smiles on my face.
BEMA
Who says I'm scared?
FAITH
Your actions say you are.
BEMA
Well, I'm not.

What?

Prove it.
Tell her how you feel when next you see her.

What's the point?

You are only reluctant to do so because you are scared.

Then what is it?

I think she likes someone else.

This is leading nowhere, Funke.
FUNKE
I know but we can't give up.
We have to find out who these beads belong to.
TENI
But how do we do that when we can't even put together what the letters mean?
FUNKE
But people answer Ophia, right?
TENI
I don't think there is anyone who answers that name in this school.
FUNKE
Well, they have to be someone because that is the only name I can think of.
(Gazes at the beads on the desk.)
TENI
How about we just let all of these be?
To be honest, it's not in our place to figure out what happened to Victoria, and remember if we get caught, we will be in big trouble.
FUNKE
No, I can't let this be.
I must find out what really happened.
O-P-H-I-A.
Sophia!
Yes, it has to be it.
TENI
What's that?
FUNKE
I think I have an idea why we are finding it difficult to figure this out.
What if there is a missing letter and that letter is "S"
TENI
Okay...
FUNKE
That would give us a name that makes sense.
Sophia!
TENI
Wow, you might be right.
Now we just have to draft out the list of people who answer Sophia in this school.
FUNKE
There is only one Sophia that I think would be capable of this.

Who is that?
FUNKE
Dayo's Sophia.
TENI
Funke, we have no proof yet.
FUNKE
Of course, we do.
This is our proof, Teni.
TENI
This doesn't prove that it belongs to her.
Look you have been trying to pin this on Dayo and his group don't you think we should keep an open mind?
That's the only way we can really figure out which of the Sophia's this belongs to.
FUNKE
Teni, it's her!
Believe me.
TENI
Funke relax.
Let's just do this the right way.
FUNKE
Fine but I am going to prove to you that this belongs to her.

(Places both her hands on her head.)
"Ovie calls Zino to a corner."
OVIE
(Whispers.)
We have to do something about this.
ZINO
I know, I have asked my contacts in Washington to find out everything about the case.
OVIE
You know that wouldn't be enough Zino.
ZINO
That is all I can do for now.
OVIE
We both know that is a lie.
ZINO
What do you want me to do, Ovie?
OVIE
Get him out of that mess or make the people who are doing this to him pay for it.
You know they are only trying to get back at you.
ZINO
Ovie, you know I can not do what you are asking me to do.
I am done with that life.
(Walks away)

"Faith turns to Bema as they walk towards the school gate."
BEMA
What is it?
FAITH
Did you tell her?
BEMA
I don't understand.
FAITH
You know what I am talking about, Oga.
BEMA
(Takes a deep breath)
Look, it's not as easy as you think and besides, I can tell her anytime.
FAITH
Are you stalling Mr. Bema?
BEMA
No, I'm not.
FAITH
Lier.
BEMA
I'm not stalling!
FAITH
Then tell her, now!
She is in the class alone.
Now is a good time.
BEMA
Fine!

"Kome looks around."
Mr. DANIEL
The cameras don't cover this region as I have told you before.
KOME
Are you sure?
Mr. DANIEL
Yes, my love.
(Wraps his arms around Kome's waist.)
I missed you.
KOME
(Smiles)
I miss you more, my love.
Mr. DANIEL
(Kisses Kome)
I miss those lips of yours.
KOME
Really?
Mr. DANIEL
I see them every day in my dreams.
KOME
(Blushes)
I miss yours too.
(Kisses him)
"Mr. Daniel slowly kisses her neck as he unbuttons her shirt. He lifts Kome from the ground and places her on the table."
Mr. DANIEL
(Notice her uneasy facial expression as he takes down her underwear.)
What is it?
KOME
I'm scared, you know I have never done this before.
Mr. DANIEL
Don't worry, I'm going to be gentle with you.
(Slowly sucks her nipples as he takes off his pants)
"Bema attempts to open the door. Catches a glimpse of Kome and Mr. Daniel."
