Chapter 17 - Episode 15 (Facing The Giant)

INT. THE AJAYI'S RESIDENCE.

"Maid walks into Mr. Ajayi's office."

MAID

Sir, Mr. Odibo is here to see you.

Mr. AJAYI

(Gazes at the newspaper in front of him.)

Oh, God

(Takes off his glasses.)

Send him in.

MAID

Alright, sir.

(Walks out of the room.)

"Mr. Odibo walks in a few minutes later."

Mr. AJAYI

(Smile)

Good morning my friend.

Mr. ODIBO

I wish I could say the same.

We have a problem.

Mr. AJAYI

Ahh, kiloshele?

What is the problem, my friend?

ODIBO

Have you seen this?

(Drops his newspaper on the table.)

Mr. AJAYI

(Gazes at the headline.)

Don't tell me you are scared of this.

Mr. ODIBO

The company's biggest asset is being sentenced to prison on US soil shouldn't that be disturbing?

Mr. AJAYI

I don't think so, my friend.

This is not the first time the company has lost a significant human asset.

Mr. ODIBO

And the last time this happened, Gates was destroyed.

Mr. AJAYI

And New Gates was created which is the platform that allowed you to become a major shareholder of the company.

Mr. ODIBO

That has nothing to do with this and you know it.

That boy has built us the best marketing and sales funnel since the existence of this company.

Only a genius can do that.

We just lost that to our biggest threat as a company. The US government has been on our case for years now.

Mr. AJAYI

Mr. Odibo, relax.

Mr. ODIBO

How can I?

You know I will be running for the presidency during the next election, and I do not want anything that will ruin my chances. I'm pulling out.

I'm selling off my shares.

Mr. AJAYI

You cannot do that!

You know the sales of shares are only limited to members of the board.

Mr. ODIBO

Which is why I came to you.

I want you to buy them from me.

Mr. AJAYI

I wish I could, but my hands are tied right now.

You know I have invested a lot of cash in my business in the east.

Except you are willing to buy into some of my businesses over there in exchange for your shares at New Gate's.

Mr. ODIBO

(Breaths heavily as he appears to be in a snappy deep thought.)

Then it is settled.

I will talk to my lawyer he will prepare the paperwork.

Mr. AJAYI

Alright, I will do the same.

INT. THE UFOMA'S RESIDENCE, NGOZI'S ROOM.

"Ngozi pretends to be surprised."

NGOZI

Wow!

So, Bema has been in love with you?

"Kome paces round the room."

KOME

Yes.

ISIO

Wait, you mean our Bema?

KOME

No, oh The Bema in Sokoto

Which other Bema do we know?

NGOZI

You mean Iwebema Emmanuel the dude who you have been best friends with for ages?

"Kome stops and turns to Isio and Ngozi."

KOME

Really, guys?

I see you are both enjoying this.

ISIO

(Chuckles)

Calm down, jor.

We are just surprised.

(Occasionally gazes at Ngozi.)

KOME

Hmm, I know that look.

Spill girls!

NGOZI

There is nothing to spill we are just surprised that's all.

Who would have thought Bema would fall in love with one of us?

ISIO

Exactly.

(Fights the urge to laugh out)

KOME

And you think I'm buying this act?

You are both hiding something and you better spill!

NGOZI

Kome there is nothing really.

(Appears unsettled.)

KOME

Oh-MY- GOD!

You both knew?

ISIO

I don't understand.

KOME

Don't pretend, Isio.

He told you guys.

NGOZI

Calm down!

First and foremost, Bema didn't tell us anything.

KOME

And you think I will believe that?

ISIO

It's the truth because he didn't have to.

It was so obvious.

(Attempts to light a stick of F8)

"Ngozi takes it from her."

KOME

Really?

NGOZI

Oh, yes, I'm even kind of surprised that you didn't notice.

I thought you were just playing along pretending not to know all this while.

ISIO

Except this is all an act because it was so obvious.

Bema has had something for you for a very long time now even some of our classmates could tell.

KOME

Does this look like an act?

NGOZI

Calm down, my love.

Come here.

(Pulls Kome into the bed.)

It's not a big deal.

KOME

Yes, it is.

Bema is my best friend this will ruin our friendship.

I don't want to lose Bema I can't lose him.

ISIO

Really?

(Attempts to light another stick of F8)

KOME

(Takes the stick from Isio)

Don't you ever give up?

ISIO

What?

You said no one is home.

KOME

Isio you should slow down!

ISIO

Whatever!

(Picks up her bag.)

Guys, I have to go now before that beast of a Father preys on me today again.

NGOZI

(Turns to Kome)

I have to go too.

(Gets up from the bed)

KOME

Alright, you know your way out, see you guys tomorrow.

OFFICER DERICK

Welcome to Bu High, Son.

(gives Efe his prison bag)

You will need this.

EFE

Thank you.

"Officer Derick walks towards the entrance door."

OFFICER DERICK

Are you religious?

EFE

Yes, sir.

OFFICER DERICK

What is your faith?

EFE

Christian.

OFFICER DERICK

Good, because you gonna need Jesus in there.

(Opens the door.)

"Efe could slowly feel the change of atmosphere as he walked through the gate. The chanting of prisoners and the smell of accumulated sweat."

EFE

(Turns to Officer Derick.)

Where do I settle in?

OFFICER DERICK

Where do you settle in?

Hmm, I'm wondering.

EFE

Like my bed space and all.

OFFICER DERICK

This is Bu High, son.

There is no such thing as your bed space.

There is only survival of the fittest.

INT. IWEBEMA'S HOUSEHOLD.

"Mrs. Iwebema walks into Bema's room."

Mrs. IWEBEMA

Do you know what the time is?

BEMA

(Quickly pick up his bag.)

Sorry, Mum.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

(Notice how unsettled Bema is)

Come here!

(Adjust his tie)

Your eyes are heavy.

Have you been having some trouble sleeping?

BEMA

I'm fine, Mummy.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

That wasn't the question I asked you.

BEMA

Seriously, Mum, I'm fine.

I have just been reading a lot at night.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

Really?

Should I believe you?

BEMA

Is there a reason not to?

Mrs. IWEBEMA

Hmm, okay.

But I want you to know that you can talk to me about anything.

You don't have to go through life on your own that is why I'm your...

BEMA

(Interrupts Mrs. Iwebema.)

Mum, I said I'm fine.

Can we go now?

We are late.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

Hmm, okay.

"Bema walks out of the room, and Mrs. Iwebema follows behind."

INT. WAREHOUSE.

"Ella walks in."

UCHE

How far, na.

ELLA

Have you seen this?

(Shows him the breaking news on her phone.)

UCHE

(Takes the phone from her.)

It can't be.

CHETA

What is it?

UCHE

Efe is in prison.

CHETA

Really?

I'm not falling for that.

UCHE

See for yourself.

(Gives him the phone.)

CHETA

But how?

How true is this?

ELLA

That is from the Naija blog.

They do not put out unverified news and if you have been on Twitter this morning, you will see that Efe has become the most talked about personality on the platform.

UCHE

Wow, but this doesn't make sense there is no way Efe would do this.

Efe is not stupid.

ELLA

Exactly what I thought too.

The only explanation for this is that Efe is up to something, and he intentionally left us in the dark.

Or it could be what most people on Twitter are also saying.

UCHE

What's that?

ELLA

A lot think that he was framed for this to make Nigeria look bad globally.

My theory is that someone helped the company figure out he was bailing out on them, and this is their revenge on him.

UCHE

So, you are saying it's an inside job?

ELLA

Exactly!

UCHE

But who will do this to Efe?

And how the hell did the person find out?

"Cheta appears confused and frightened."

ELLA

If you ask me, na who I go ask?

But one thing is sure, if Efe was framed for this, then it's definitely an inside job.

I'm certain of it.

(Gazes at Cheta.)

"Cheta turns to leave."

UCHE

Where you dey go?

CHETA

Restroom, bro

Piss dey catches me.

(Cheta walks out of the room.)

ELLA

(Goes closer to Uche)

Do you want to know what I really think about this?

UCHE

What's that?

ELLA

Only someone who works for the company knows Efe and has a problem with him will do this to him.

UCHE

Hmm, what are you getting at?

ELLA

Whoever did this to Efe is in this warehouse and there is only one person I can think of right now.

UCHE

Who is that?

ELLA

You know who.

UCHE

Who?

(Notice Ella is wearing the look.)

No, no, no.

ELLA

Think about it, Uche.

They had a huge argument relating to money before Efe left.

UCHE

No, it's not possible.

I know Cheta is big on comparison and there might have been occasions when he wished he could be Efe, but he could never do this to Efe.

There is no way!

ELLA

I know how much you do not want to consider the possibility of this because Cheta is like a brother to you but if we want to be honest, you and I know Cheta has been acting strange ever since Efe left and there is no reasonable explanation for it.

UCHE

Ella, it's not possi....

ELLA

(Interrupts Uche)

Just listen to me for a second, Uche.

Look, I know you do not want to believe this and trust me I do not want to too.

But I just want you to consider the possibilities.

Do not let your emotions rub you off your rights to common sense. He has been acting off and there is no honest reason that explains why.

(Picks up the box on the table and walks out of the room.)

TIGA

Kate nor go fit come inside our caban con dey tell us watin to do.

VON

That is not going to happen, Tiga.

BOB

So watin we go do like this?

VON

We kill two birds with one stone.

All of this is happening because I framed a relative of Zino and Father sees her as a threat.

There is only one way I can win my father's trust again.

BOB

How boss?

VON

We eliminate his biggest threat.

BOB

Are you suggesting we go after Zino?

VON

Yes, by eliminating her we make all of this go away.

TIGA

I don hear a lot of things about this Zino she nor go easy boss.

When I look her records, omo that girl be beast before, oh.

BOB

I heard she single-handedly assassinated the president of the country in 2005.

VON

That doesn't mean she is unstoppable.

We will stop even before she makes a movie.

We are taking the war to her.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

Come...

Why bother knocking if you were just going to walk in anyway?

Dr. GLORIA

Good morning, Anita.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

Good morning, how can I help?

Dr. GLORIA

(Drops a document on Iwebema table.)

That is the proposal I submitted to the Chairman as regards the shareholders conference next week.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

(Picks up the document.)

Okay, so why are you giving this to me?

Dr. GLORIA

The chairman has approved the proposal and has given me the go-ahead to be the chief officer in charge of the planning committee.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

Okay, that's good for you.

Dr. GLORIA

I know, right?

Finally, we won't be getting a loop of those boring routines we had to endure in previous years.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

I guess you need my signature to make this official.

Dr. GLORIA

Please sign so that I and my team can start preparing for the conference.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

You know I can't do that without making sure your proposal fits into our agendas for the year.

So, I will need some time to go through it myself.

Dr. GLORIA

The chairman has already approved it; you really don't have to prolong the inevitable.

Mrs. IWEBEMA

Well, I'm not chairman and you are in no place to tell me how to do my job.

I will review it and decide if it's worth my signature or not.

(Turns to her laptop screen)

Anything else?

Dr. GLORIA

Hmm, nothing.

(Turns and walks out of the office.)

"Ngozi and Isio approach Kome."

NGOZI

Hey, I heard what happened.

ISIO

Are you alright?

KOME

I'm fine.

What is it?

NGOZI

You don't have to pretend you are fine, Kome.

It's okay to feel sad.

ISIO

You shouldn't even be in school.

KOME

What is it?

I still don't understand what you guys are talking about.

"Isio and Ngozi pull Kome to a corner."

ISIO

When last did you visit Twitter?

KOME

Emm, I can't remember you know that app is toxic.

NGOZI

How about Instagram?

KOME

Two days ago.

You guys know I really don't care about social media just tell me what's going on.

ISIO

Hmm, Naija's blog published an article yesterday about Efe.

KOME

Did they find him?

What did the article say about his whereabouts?

ISIO

Your brother is in the US.

KOME

(Smiles)

Thank God.

ISIO

But there is more to it.

KOME

What is it?

(Isio stays silent for some seconds.)

What is it Isio?

ISIO

According to the article Efe was caught smuggling drugs into the country and he has been arrested for it.

KOME

What?

No, that's not true.

NGOZI

It's what the news says.

KOME

(Look around.)

That explains it.

ISIO

Explain what?

KOME

Why I have been getting this look from other students today?

(Notice half the eyes in the corridor are on her.)

Oh, God.

(Tears roll down her cheeks)

NGOZI

Kome, stop you know people are watching.

(Attempts to pull Kome into her arms.)

"Kome walks out of the scene."

INT. RESTROOM.

"Kome rushes into the restroom, and Ngozi and Isio walk in."

ISIO

Kome, you have to calm down.

KOME

I'm fine.

NGOZI

No, you are not.

I think you should go home.

KOME

I said I'm fine!

ISIO

Kome, please listen to us.

Even if it's for today.

KOME

(Turns to them.)

What part of I'm fine do you not understand?

I want to be alone, please.

ISIO

Kome...

KOME

Isio just leave, please!

I said I wanted to be alone.

NGOZI

Hmm, fine, we are going but if you need anything, you know where to find us.

(Turns to Isio.)

Let's go.

ISIO

But we can't leave...

NGOZI

(Interrupts Isio)

Let's go!

(Pulls Isio out of the room.)

"Kome looks into the mirror in front of her and begins to cry."

"Ajoke sits opposite Ngozi."

AJOKE

What do you have for me today?

NGOZI

Tablets.

AJOKE

(Appears disappointed.)

Why?

I told you I wanted some smoke.

NGOZI

That is what I have for now, Ajoke.

AJOKE

(Sighs)

Whatever, I will take ten tablets of the F8.

NGOZI

That would be twenty thousand naira.

AJOKE

For what?

Since when?

I paid you ten thousand naira for that just last week.

"Frank sits beside Ngozi."

NGOZI

The higher the demand, the higher the price.

AJOKE

So, you are doubling the price because your market is growing bigger?

NGOZI

Laws are laws, Ajoke.

AJOKE

(Turns to Frank)

Really Frank?

FRANK

I would take it and probably buy more if I were you.

Demand might skyrocket next week, and prices might just go up again.

AJOKE

Oh God.

(Places her hands on her head.)

Fine, I will take twenty tablets.

NGOZI

(Smiles t Ajoke)

Smart choice.

AJOKE

Just so you know, I'm going to report you guys to Dayo he has to do something about these outrageous prices.

NGOZI

Is that supposed to scare me or what?

"Ajoke gets up and walks out of the scene."

FRANK

(Turns to Ngozi)

Wow, you are getting better at this.

NGOZI

Don't start Frank.

FRANK

I'm serious.

(Gazes at her seductively.)

NGOZI

I know that look, Frank.

I'm not falling for it.

FRANK

(Holds her hands)

Common on, Ngozi.

You know deep down that I like you a whole lot and I have been nothing but good to you.

NGOZI

Frank, it's...

FRANK

(Interrupts her)

If you can look me in the face and say you do not feel the same way, then I'm going to drop this.

NGOZI

Frank...

Do I like you? Yes, I do.

My heart finds you attractive, but my head just keeps telling me this isn't going to end well.

"Isio walks in."

ISIO

And your common sense has never been so right.

FRANK

(Ignores Isio and gets up)

I will be with the boys.

(Walks out of the scene.)

ISIO

You know he is Libra, right?

They are big-time flirts he will end up breaking your heart.

NGOZI

Don't tell me you believe that zodiac nonsense.

"Bema walks in with Faith."

BEMA

Zodiac signs are unrealistic.

ISIO

And why would you say so?

BEMA

Because our personalities and behaviors are subjected to environmental factors, biological factors, and real-life experiences in our past.

That makes more sense than all that Zodiac rubbish that suggests your day of birth has something to do with how you behave.

NGOZI

Thank you, Bema.

I love you.

ISIO

You know experiments were carried out that prove that behavioral patterns are subjected to zodiac signs.

BEMA

Just because they placed a group of people who were born in the same time frame in the same place and discovered that they acted in some similar ways, doesn't mean it's realistic.

NGOZI

Exactly, you can't draw a general conclusion on it just because a tiny sample space proved to behave in similar ways.

That's the stupidest thing I have heard today.

ISIO

It isn't stupid, guys.

(Turns to Faith)

I would like to hear Faith's opinion on this.

FAITH

Oh, no I'm neutral about this.

Although it's fun watching you guys argue.

(Looks around)

ISIO

Come on, just say something.

FAITH

Well, I'm not a fan of Faith even though I'm Faith.

I prefer facts and Psychology is more factual than Astrology when it comes to the reason why people act the way they do.

BEMA

Meaning you are on the side of the three factors I explained?

Yes!

FAITH

Not really, I'm only saying it makes more sense.

It sounds more realistic.

ISIO

Now I regret ever seeking your opinion on this.

FAITH

I apologize but I'm not sorry.

(Scans through the scene.)

Where is Kome?

I haven't seen her today.

BEMA

Faith!

FAITH

(Smile)

What?

I just noticed she isn't here.

NGOZI

Kome needs some time to herself.

She didn't take the news about Efe very well.

BEMA

(Turns to Ngozi)

What News?

INT. BUHIGH PRISON.

"Efe walks through the corridor, he notices some kind of hierarchy among the prisoners. The more privileged seem to be on the left part of the cells. He feels a hard touch on his left shoulder."

DANTE

(Notice Efe is shocked.)

Relax, I'm Dante.

(Offers Efe a handshake.)

EFE

I'm...

DANTE

Efe.

EFE

How did you know...

DANTE

(Interrupts Efe.)

Your name?

(Chuckles)

The company pre-informed me of your coming.

EFE

You are with the company too?

DANTE

Yes, I am.

Come with me.

(Walks towards the extreme end of the corridor, Efe follows behind.)

Welcome to Buhigh prison first and foremost you need to understand that Buhigh is not like...

EFE

Every other prison out there.

(Finishes Dante's sentence.)

Look I have heard enough of that I just want to know how I can get access to the information the company wants and get the hell out of here.

DANTE

(Stopes and turns to Efe)

You know very one who came in here with that attitude of yours, couldn't last a week here.

EFE

Well, forgive me if I only care about getting hold of the information.

DANTE

You know more than a dozen hitmen have lost their lives while trying to act the way you are acting.

EFE

Didn't they tell you?

I am not a hitman.

DANTE

Yes, they did.

You are unfortunately a smart-ass genius.

EFE

Unfortunately?

DANTE

Yes!

Because if you want my honest opinion, I think bringing you in here is suicidal. I never supported it, but it was what the company wanted.

Who I'm I to question their wishes?

(Turns and keeps walking.)

EFE

Are you questioning my competence to get the job done?

DANTE

No, but I think you are doing that to yourself already.

Look around you, Efe.

Eighty percent of the worst prisoners in the world end up here in Buhigh.

We record an average of five corps every twenty-four hours.

I'm not saying this to scare you but to prepare your mind to expect anything.

(Walks into a cell.)

This is where you will be staying.

MOHAMMAD

(Turns to Efe)

Welcome to Buhigh prison.

DANTE

This is Mohammad, my oldest friend here.

(Turns to Mohammad)

Mohammad, this is Efe.

MOHAMMAD

The smart ass you were talking about.

DANTE

Yeah.

(Turns to Efe)

This is Jude.

JUDE

(Comes down from his bed)

What is 500x500+1000?

EFE

What?

JUDE

They say you are smart.

EFE

Oh...

JUDE

(Turns to Dante)

Didn't you say this kid was smart?

EFE

251,000

JUDE

What?

EFE

500x500+1000

251,000.

JUDE

You had enough time to think about that.

EFE

Try me again.

JUDE

500,000X400

EFE

200,000,000.

JUDE

(Chuckles)

You are bluffing, right?

"Mohammad picks up the old calculator covered in paper tape on his bed."

EFE

Nope, that is the answer.

JUDE

There is no way you...

MOHAMMAD

Dude, the kid is right.

JUDE

There is no way.

(Takes the calculator from Mohammad)

Hmm.

What is the square root of 580?

EFE

Hmm, 24.083189...

Should I keep going?

JUDE

Square root of 250+ Square root of 50

"Efe stays silent for some seconds."

JUDE

You, see?

He is not that smart.

EFE

22.8824...

I can keep going if you want.

JUDE

(Looks at the calculate then turns to Efe in surprise.)

But...

DANTE

(Interrupts Jude)

That's enough, Jude.

Let the kid be.

JUDE

How the hell do you know all that?

EFE

I ask myself the same question all the time.

All I can say is that numbers are a no-brainer for me.

"Faith catches Bema gazing at Kome."

FAITH

(Whispers to Bema)

You know it wouldn't be a crime if you checked up on her after class.

BEMA

What?

Who?

FAITH

You know who, Bema.

You have been gazing at her.

BEMA

I have nothing to say to her, Faith.

FAITH

Yes, you do.

The poor girl just found out her brother is in jail.

BEMA

I know and I want to be there for her, but things are quite awkward between us right now.

She has Ngozi and Isio so she will be fine.

FAITH

So, you are just going to keep your distance?

BEMA

Exactly.

FAITH

Hmm, that reminds me, your Mum is worried about you.

BEMA

Did she say anything to you?

FAITH

She asked if I knew what was wrong with you.

BEMA

And?

FAITH

Relax I told her I was as clueless as she is, but I know she didn't believe me.

BEMA

Doesn't matter what she believes.

Just keep it that way.

FAITH

Whatever.

EXT. PRISON.

"Dante takes Efe on a tour around the prison."

DANTE

That is Julius he is Mexican like me.

People call him the Rat.

EFE

The Rat?

MOHAMMAD

Yeah, he has information on every prisoner.

And I heard he used to be a high-ranking detective.

DANTE

Give him a week and he will know more about you than you know about yourself.

EFE

Wow.

DANTE

That is Benard he is the eye of the prison.

In simpler terms, he is like the secretary of the prison. He is like the fifth in command around here.

And that is Liam the fourth in command, he has a special relationship with the guards which gives him access and privileges to some prohibited items here in the prison.

EFE

Can you throw more light on that?

JUDE

His special relationship with the guards allows him to successfully smuggle in some goods like phones, groceries, and weed. 

EFE

Wow.

JUDE

Yes, and a lot of girls.

Let's just say he provides you with a luxurious life in the four walls of a prison.

MOHAMMAD

Although it comes with a lot of prices.

EFE

Wow, Buhigh is not as bad as I thought then.

DANTE

(Chuckles)

Buhigh is like two sides of a coin.

As bad as it can be for you, it could be that good for you if only you play your cards well.

MOHAMMAD

And Allah chooses to show you some kindness.

"Big Shark walks into the scene."

DANTE

(Stands in front of Efe)

What do you want big shark?

BIG SHARK

You know what I want, Dante.

I have given you enough time to pay up.

(Points at Efe.)

Pay up or the kid faces the giant tonight as it should be!

DANTE

Relax, Big Shark.

Just give me till the end of tomorrow.

BIG SHARK

(Chuckles)

You have till tonight.

(Walks out of the scene.)

_____________________________________

INT. BUHIGH PRISON, CORRIDOR.

"Efe approaches Dante who is walking to the cell."

EFE

What was that about?

DANTE

It's nothing!

I will take care of it.

JUDE

You should tell him, Dante.

DANTE

Shut the F up, Jude.

EFE

Tell me what's going on.

DANTE

Nothing is going on!

EFE

Then what did that man mean by I have to face the giant tonight?

MOHAMMAD

I think you should tell him, Dante.

He's a smart kid, he is eventually going to find out.

DANTE

(Breaths heavy)

Fine.

Facing the Giant is like a ritual here.

Where every new inmate will be made to face one of Big Daddy's trained fighters who we call giants.

EFE

(Appears frightened.)

What?

DANTE

I'm sorry, Efe.

EFE

Wow.

Okay, at least it's just a fight afterwards I will heal from the wounds, right?

It's not like it's the end of the world and who knows I might just win this.

(They all give him an awkward look.)

What is it?

MOHAMMAD

Those men are called giants for a reason, Efe.

They are beasts in human form. All they live for is to kill.

JUDE
