[00:06:03]I had another bad dream.

[00:06:04]>> Ah, Olive, stop.

[00:15:32]This is a bad omen.

[00:15:35]This is a bad omen. Something is wrong.

[00:15:40]Something is definitely wrong.

[00:16:07]Is that not Uju?

[00:16:10]Chukwuemeka's daughter.

[00:16:12]She's the one.

[00:16:13]But why is she laying down there by this time of the day?

[00:16:17]Hold on. Go check.

[00:16:27]Hey!

[00:16:30]She's dead.

[00:16:40]Ikem, let's go. She's so pretty. Ikem, we'll have to go.

[00:16:43]Uju!

[00:16:45]Let's go and inform Emeka and Mama.

[00:17:18]She's also dead.

[00:17:20]Chimo.

[00:17:22]What is happening in our land? Ikenna, there's no time for all this. We have to inform Ichie Okeke and Mama at home.

[00:17:29]Okeke, you are right. Go to Ichie Okeke's compound. Inform him about his daughter's death while I go and inform Mama about what is happening. Okay.

[00:17:36]Let's go.

[00:17:40]>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Mama.

[00:18:36]ICHIE OKEKE'S DAUGHTERS. YES, ICHIE OKEKE. [laughter] She is back.

[00:18:46]Mama.

[00:18:48]Who is back? What of your brother?

[00:18:51]He went to inform Ichie Okeke about his daughter's death.

[00:18:57]>> [sighs] >> Mama, what is it?

[00:19:01]Mama.

[00:19:03]What is it?

[00:19:07]Mama, what is it?

[00:19:13]>> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Who's after you? Big boss, speak. What is it? It's your cake on our way to the stream. I and my sister we saw the dead bodies OF YOUR DAUGHTERS.

[00:20:01]MY DAUGHTERS? YES, SIR. MY SISTERS?

[00:20:03]IJI, you have to follow me. Let's see the dead body.

[00:21:31]>> But, Mama, why all this?

[00:21:35]Yes, Mama. Why all this? My children, whatever or whoever that took the life of Izuoke Kess' daughters are still out there.

[00:21:50]I'm fortifying you people against dangers or evil ones.

[00:21:55]Um, Mama, I remembered the day I rushed back to inform you about Adobi and Uju's death.

[00:22:04]You said she is back. Mama, who is back?

[00:22:07]Ikemba, rush to the kitchen.

[00:22:10]Go and prepare dinner. The sun will soon set.

[00:22:13]Mama, Ikemba, I said rush to the kitchen. DO YOU WANT ME TO descend on you? Mhm. No, no.

[00:22:19]And you, Ifoma, go and help her.

[00:22:22]O- okay, Mama.

[00:22:33]Chidike, Mama, you are the only male offspring of my late husband, Ikemba.

[00:22:44]Yes, Mama. I know.

[00:22:47]In case anything happens to me, take your sisters and run out of this village and never come back.

[00:23:02]But, Mama, I don't understand.

[00:23:05]I said in case anything happens to me take your sisters and go out of the village and never to come back.

[00:23:21]Go and get me water to drink.

[00:23:27]Okay, Mama.

[00:23:30]>> [music] >> The war has just begun.

[00:23:54]>> [sighs] >> Two of my daughters dead on the same day.

[00:24:04]>> [music] >> Dead without a trace of what killed them.

[00:24:16]Could it be she?

[00:24:20]No. No.

[00:24:22]She cannot be back.

[00:24:25]This cannot be.

[00:24:29]Do I consult the divine?

[00:24:35]Gods of our land, help me.

[00:24:40]>> [music] >> Greetings, Papa.

[00:24:43]Mhm.

[00:24:44]Greetings.

[00:24:49]How is Olade?

[00:24:52]Well, she has been crying since morning.

[00:24:54]And she hasn't eaten anything.

[00:24:56]>> [snorts] >> The deaths of our sisters have broken our heart.

[00:25:07]Papa, I think we need to dig and make some findings concerning these deaths.

[00:25:12]My two sisters can't just die like flies on the same day.

[00:25:15]I think something is wrong somewhere.

[00:25:22]My son, the gods gave and the gods take.

[00:25:30]Who are we to question the gods?

[00:25:34]But papa, we can go and visit Eze One or any other strong dibia and consult the gods and know what they have to say.

[00:25:43]Ekenna, my boy, it seems you failed to listen to what I just said.

[00:25:50]The gods gave and the gods have taken.

[00:25:55]Going to see Eze One or consulting any other dibia is simply questioning the gods and that will not bring your sisters back.

[00:26:06]>> But papa, >> Ekenna, please.

[00:26:09]Please.

[00:26:12]I am not in the mood for this.

[00:26:16]I am not in the right frame of mind for any argument now.

[00:26:22]Give me some space.

[00:26:24]I want to collect my thoughts. I want to be alone. [music] Please.

[00:26:40]>> [music] >> Aku, Iji.

[00:26:57]The sudden death of Ichie Okeke's daughters looks so suspicious.

[00:27:06]My father even said that it was the gods that struck them dead.

[00:27:15]Huh.

[00:27:17]Mhm.

[00:27:20]Ever since the king joined his ancestors, we all know that Ichie Okeke is the next in line to be the king.

[00:27:32]So, I don't think it's the gods at work, but his enemies.

[00:27:37]My dear, do you know what surprises me the most?

[00:27:45]Ever since he lost his two daughters, he haven't gone to seek for the face of the gods.

[00:27:52]Yet, he just kept quiet over things like this.

[00:27:57]Do you know that whenever I pass through his hut, I do see him talking to himself.

[00:28:05]Jego.

[00:28:07]Losing two daughters at the same time is the worst thing I've ever seen in my lifetime.

[00:28:14]Aku.

[00:28:15]Nne mma. Mhm.

[00:28:21]>> [gasps] >> I pray the gods give him the strength to bear the losses.

[00:28:29]Let us go to this room to fetch water.

[00:28:31]My mother will be waiting for me at home. Okay.

[00:28:42]>> [music] >> Hey Gemma.

[00:29:01]Hey Gemma. Yes, Mama.

[00:29:09]Greetings, Mama. Greetings, my daughter.

[00:29:12]Go to the bush. Rush.

[00:29:15]And bring me uziza leaves.

[00:29:17]Okay, Mama.

[00:29:58]>> [screaming] [screaming] >> Mama. Ah. Mama. AH. MAMA.

[00:30:10]>> [screaming] >> MAMA MAMA AH. MAMA WHAT'S THIS? MAMA.

[00:30:13]AH. MAMA. AH. MAMA. MAMA, what did the doctor tell you?

[00:30:22]She can't hear.

[00:30:24]Okay. Okay. Mama, ask the doctor to tell you what. Mama.

[00:30:28]Mama. Mama.

[00:30:31]Mama.

[00:30:33]Hey.

[00:30:36]Hey. Mama. Mama is dead. Mama, wake up, please. Please, don't do this to us, Mama. MAMA [laughter] IS DEAD.

[00:30:43]MAMA.

[00:30:45]MAMA.

[00:30:46]>> [laughter] >> HEY.

[00:30:48]MAMA.

[00:30:49]MAMA.

[00:30:51]>> [music] >> MAMA.

[00:30:56]>> [music] [groaning] >> WHO ARE YOU?

[00:31:19]WHO ARE YOU?

[00:31:22]>> [screaming] >> WHO ARE YOU? MAMA.

[00:31:25]MAMA.

[00:31:31]>> [snorts] >> MAMA.

[00:31:40]MAMA.

[00:31:42]MAMA.

[00:31:44]MAMA.

[00:31:45]AH, CHILL OUT.

[00:31:49]PLEASE, DON'T KILL ME.

[00:31:54]PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU, don't kill me.

[00:31:56]Please.

[00:31:57]Please, don't kill me. Please.

[00:32:02]Please.

[00:32:03]I'm begging you, PLEASE DON'T KILL ME.

[00:32:05]PLEASE. [screaming] >> [music] [music] >> IS THIS WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?

[00:32:55]I can run.

[00:32:57]I can run.

[00:33:00]>> [screaming] >> CHIMO.

[00:33:04]I CAN RUN.

[00:33:06]HEY, I CAN RUN.

[00:33:09]I CAN RUN.

[00:33:11]>> [music] >> I CAN RUN.

[00:33:25]I can run.

[00:33:28]I can run.

[00:33:31]I can run. My mother is dead.

[00:33:33]Chimo.

[00:33:39]And I'm here to tell you that I saw the dead body of your sister on THE ROAD.

[00:33:46]WHERE?

[00:33:48]YOU CAN STAY HERE. COME AND SHOW ME.

[00:33:51]>> [laughter] [laughter] [screaming] [laughter] >> OKAY, MAMA.

[00:34:42]I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

[00:34:43]WHAT IS IT?

[00:34:45]I'M ON MY WAY COMING BACK. I saw Ikemefuna's dead body. Isn't that a lie?

[00:34:49]ON THE ROAD.

[00:34:53]OKAY.

[00:34:54]I'm going.

[00:34:56]Isn't that what you said?

[00:34:58]What did you just say?

[00:34:59]Isn't that what you said?

[00:35:01]How? When? What happened?

[00:35:03]It was said that she suddenly collapsed.

[00:35:06]Before children could come out, she's already dead. Hey! What I do? Do you know I saw another dead body while coming back?

[00:35:15]>> [screaming] >> She's back.

[00:35:19]Who is back?

[00:35:26]>> [music] >> Ifeoma, my sister.

[00:35:39]Now that my mama and Ikemefuna have been buried, I have something to tell you.

[00:35:44]What is it?

[00:35:46]Can you remember the day mama fortified us?

[00:35:50]Yes. She told I and Ikemefuna to go make dinner.

[00:35:55]Exactly.

[00:35:56]The moment you two left, mama told me something.

[00:36:01]She said, "Whenever she is dead, I should take you and Ikemefuna out of this village and never return." Chimo!

[00:36:10]That means mama knows something about these recent deaths.

[00:36:13]That reminds me.

[00:36:15]Ikemefuna said the day both of you saw the dead body of Okeke's daughter, when she ran home to inform mama, mama said she's back. When she asked mama who, mama was silent. She did not say anything.

[00:36:28]She's back.

[00:36:30]Yes.

[00:36:33]And also, remember the day Mama was dying?

[00:36:37]She told us to ask Ichie Okeke. Yes, I remember. She said something like that.

[00:36:43]Mhm.

[00:36:46]Mama knows something about all these deaths that is going on in this village.

[00:36:51]She just didn't say anything to us.

[00:36:54]But don't worry.

[00:36:56]I'll have to go and see Ichie Okeke.

[00:36:58]DK, I think we should obey the words of Mama, which says we should leave this village.

[00:37:07]I know.

[00:37:09]But going to see Ichie Okeke was also part of Mama's words.

[00:37:14]But then again, even if we leave this village, whatever or whoever that is involved in all these killings will hunt us.

[00:37:23]So, it's better we know our enemy first before we know the next line of action to take.

[00:37:30]May the gods of our land help us.

[00:37:33]You say Mhm. Don't worry.

[00:37:38]I'll go and see Ichie Okeke.

[00:37:46]>> [music] [music] [music] >> Papa, where did you get all this from?

[00:38:04]Meal.

[00:38:39]>> [screaming] [screaming] >> [ __ ] >> [screaming] >> Yeah.

[00:40:33]>> That's it.

[00:40:38]It is done.

[00:40:39]Whoever or whatever is responsible for what is going on cannot and will not cross this compound. It will not touch any of us. We are safe.

[00:40:49]What's papa?

[00:40:50]Where did you get all this from?

[00:40:53]I journeyed to Ogidi to see the great Ayaka.

[00:40:57]The greatest dibia in all of Idemili.

[00:41:01]We are protected.

[00:41:03]But papa dibia Eze Muo died.

[00:41:06]You said something.

[00:41:08]What did I say?

[00:41:10]Papa you said she's back.

[00:41:13]Please, who is back? Uh my daughter, uh what I was trying to say was that uh what was responsible for the death of your sisters must have which Forget about what I said. Go and get food for your brother and I. Okay, papa. Mhm.

[00:41:30]Mhm.

[00:41:38]What is wrong with you?

[00:41:40]Huh?

[00:41:41]Be a man. What is wrong with you? You are the son of a warrior. The son of Okeke.

[00:41:46]A descendant of Okonkwo.

[00:41:48]You are from a lineage of great warriors.

[00:41:51]Why are you afraid?

[00:41:53]Stand like a man.

[00:41:56]Okay, papa.

[00:41:58]Ogene.

[00:41:59]Amum Okeke Abum Okeke.

[00:42:14]>> Welcome, Dike.

[00:42:16]How is your sister, I Dharma?

[00:42:20]She's fine. She's okay, okay.

[00:42:22]And I came here seeking answers to what my mother said before she died.

[00:42:31]What did she tell you?

[00:42:33]She once said she's back.

[00:42:37]And she told me that if anything happens to her, I should take my sisters [music] and leave this village.

[00:42:45]And then she she told me on the day she died that [music] I should ask you that you know the cause of all the deaths in this village.

[00:42:58]Hmm.

[00:43:00]Aha. [cough] Eze Anya.

[00:43:06]Hmm.

[00:43:08]>> [music] >> Uh Dike, Uche, there's one thing you should understand as a man.

[00:43:19]Do not put faith in everything that comes out of the lips of a woman.

[00:43:26]I know she is your mother or she was your mother, but I'm telling you now as a man.

[00:43:35]I do not know what she is talking about.

[00:43:38]And uh you know, my two daughters were the first to die.

[00:43:43]You brought me that news.

[00:43:45]And if I knew what happened to them or what your mother was talking about, don't you think I would have done something about it?

[00:43:55]I will do something about it.

[00:43:58]And uh as for she telling you to come and meet me, maybe I think I think she said you should come and meet me to help find a solution to the problem considering that I will soon be the next king of our kingdom. So, uh I think that is why she sent you to come to me.
