Finding Me (2025) Movie Script

Who's that?
What's good about this afternoon?
Tell me! Is that why you barged in?
I'm sorry sir.
Dotun's dad!
- I was held up in traffic.
- What?
Did you inform Tinuke
that you were caught up in traffic?
Come on!
Daddy! So, you expect me
to report to Tinuke?
Don't place Tinuke above me.
She'll disrespect me!
Indeed, Tinuke is your younger sister.
And you here, you're the COO.
- Daddy--
- Chief Operations Officer!
Look, I'm tired!
Yes! Ah!
where I'm the chairman, signing files
and presiding over meetings.
I'll be monitoring
the inflow and outflow of cash.
Recall the popular adage...
that when a child is mature enough,
they take on adult responsibilities--
Shut up!
He's reciting an adage.
I'm sorry, sir.
With recent developments
in Olowo Steel
Ha! You will go to Nasarawa!
- Tinuke, you're a hypocrite!
- What is it?
Whenever she engages in her hypocrisy,
that's when she twists
her mouth to the edge
saying "Mr. Chairman sir."
He's our daddy!
Hope all is well?
Don't go! You're a hypocrite!
You always walk away whenever
my future comes up in conversation.
Don't go. You're going nowhere!
- You don't have an emergency!
- Dotun!
Don't you respect me anymore?
- Daddy!
- Leave!
Daddy! Atinuke is a hypocrite.
Daddy! Dotun's Dad.
Dotun's Dad!
Please,
Aren't you hot?
Why are you dressed up in layers?
Are we in Canada?
But you know this is my style!
Okay.
We need your contribution
to the issue on ground.
"Heir apparent." It upsets him.
Am I lying?
God forbid it!
It shall not happen!
- Saying, "What if he dies"
- I hear you.
- Good day, everyone!
- Akanbi!
- Welcome. The blessed one.
- How are you doing?
- That's right!
- Respected and cherished.
- You make me feel important.
- As it should be.
Thank you.
Should I serve your food?
I'd like to take a shower first.
- Okay!
- Let me go take a shower.
- I greeted you, "Welcome sir!"
- I responded. What's the problem?
- We need to talk sir.
- What is it?
Come on, Akanji.
Listen to your "heir apparent."
So?
That's impossible!
What is it? Give him his share.
For what reason?
Look here, Dotun!
Well, at least I graduated.
Tinuke has two
Masters degrees, first of all.
She has a husband and is brilliant!
Sir, they're spending your money!
Shut up! What are you spending?
Sex.
- -Baby--
- Tinuke, wait. Calm down.
Are you wearing a butt pad?
Yeah?
Really?
So Madam wears butt pads?
Madam wears butt pads
What are you doing?
Why are you laughing?
Rather than condemning the boss's action,
- you're there laughing at Madam.
- How's that my business?
Why are you blaming me?
What the boss is doing isn't right!
The way he talks to Madam,
he doesn't care if anyone is there.
He talks to her anyhow. That's not good.
- His actions might trigger depression.
- Shut up!
He chose to marry her,
do you want to break their home?
Is that not better?
Let them dissolve their marriage!
You better mind your business!
Mind the business
that pays your bills! Huh?
How's that your business now?
How's it your business?
I don't like your attitude, Seriu.
Despite Madam's benevolence,
apart from paying your salary,
when your wife was in labour,
Madam will foot the bill.
If your child took ill,
Madam supports you.
Yet you can't show any concern for her.
Yes, I agree Madam is supportive.
Is her husband giving you money?
Do you know what he does with his money?
Do you expect someone who can't even run
his own company to give financial aid?
You act like
you don't understand what is going on.
Go and enlarge your butt,
do liposuction, do BBL for what?
You can imagine, my sister, am I God?
I remember back then
he'd tell me, "I love the way you look.
before you will leave him, right?
Excuse me, he just wants to control you!
Or
I mean it.
- lend me some--
- Hey, hey, hey!
I don't have money! I don't have!
- Why are you harsh so?
- Leave me alone!
Why are you harsh?
So, I'm harsh?
Bro, you know I have your back.
But think about it
How much money have I given you
so far over Ndidi's mum's illness?
- Think it through.
- Sister, it's breast cancer!
- Eh, and God will heal her.
- Amen.
But until then, I have to do something.
- I need to be supportive, as her man.
- Really?
Until you kill yourself, right?
You want to carry this girl's
family problems on your head.
You have your own family!
Okay, no problem!
But as for me, I don't have money!
Sister, please now!
Kola has killed me!
- This girl is shameless!
- She is!
If I were madam,
I'd slap the living daylights out of her.
My dear.
How are you?
You are welcome, God bless you.
For all you have been doing for me.
God bless you.
The hospital
They refused to attend to me.
Mommy, I am your son.
And it is my responsibility, okay?
- It's fine.
- Thank you.
- Amen!
- I feel so sad that...
Mama, please stop saying this.
- They've sent it!
- and your grandchildren.
- What is it?
- The doctor has sent the bill.
- Two million for what?
- My God!
How do I raise two million?
Whoever gave you alcohol is mean.
Madam, you will fall!
Madam is drunk.
I saw the message with my own eyes.
- I may be ugly but not a murderer.
- Baby, see
- Sorry.
- Alright, let's go.
Aunty IB, don't mind
this mischievous woman!
She likes to take
other people's customers.
And if she doesn't stop that nonsense,
I'll let her know how crazy I am!
Shut up!
Did you bring customers from heaven?
- Which customer did I allegedly snatch?
- That's right.
- I didn't take anyone's customer.
- You're lying!
- You all be quiet!
- Don't be angry.
- What is all this?
- Don't be upset.
Toju's Mom!
- Ma?
- Nkiru's Mom!
Ma?
This is bad!
It's unacceptable!
What sort of drama is this?
Ever since I became your market leader,
there's never been problems.
So, what's the problem?
Even if we're market women,
- must we misbehave to prove it?
- That's right!
- What's the problem?
- Aunty IB!
Warn her! If she tries it again,
I'll deal with her.
I'll tear her clothes.
I'll strip her naked!
I'll show her I'm a real Yoruba woman.
Just shut up!
Stop it!
I reject it!
Sister, I'm tired!
What's the latest with that money?
Oh my, that's a far cry but
Glued together.
Mad man
Stingy or not,
at least he gave you some money.
Oh, please!
What?
I told you to apply red lipstick, take!
When you use red lipstick
when men see you from afar,
they'll be saying, "Oh baby,
You were about to apply
nonsense pink lipstick.
- What's wrong? What happened?
- Oh God!
It's Anthony.
Pick up the call!
I switched off my phone all day!
He's been unable to reach me.
Now, what do I tell him?
- Where is my money?
- Money? Money, money
It's in the room now.
Let me go and bring it.
Wow!
I have a business idea for both of us, eh!
Go inside the house.
Go and bring out my money.
- Tell Sister about your man who bets
- She said she's not interested.
Which money?
My goodness!
- Betting has good and bad days
- What did you say?
he will give me sure odds,
zero-point-five.
I'll play it like this, and it will click.
Seems like you've lost your mind.
What's your problem? Is it your money?
Calm down, please.
You took my 500,000 naira
- for sport betting?
- It's for--
- Are you mad?!
- It's for all of us.
- It's for all of us.
- You see, as I close my eyes now,
if you don't enter
that room now and bring out my money,
You want to break my head? Sister
Sister, calm down.
Sister, look at my head!
Sister, stop.
Thank you. I'll see you soon.
You came in at the right time.
Oh please!
Look child, I've been calling you,
yet no response.
My God!
- Mommy.
- Stupid child.
Mommy, come out!
What we do here is cinema film.
In fact, let me start from the beginning.
All of us like this, all of us,
our plan was to japa, to relocate.
And we said,
we must get this money for japa,
So, Sister Ndidi, used Mommy's fake
breast cancer story to scam you.
It's sister Ndidi that used
to apply it, being a makeup artist.
Oh my!
I have said too much.
That nonsense girl,
that foolish girl, Ngozi.
Mommy, I don't like this.
What's wrong with this girl?
- Please!
- That's enough.
My whole life is in this bag.
It has all my possessions.
Throwing bags is not what makes one tough.
Both of you, please!
I don't even know what I did wrong.
I acquired it from the Champions Plaza.
Just because of 500 thousand naira!
Hasn't she seen it before?
- Shut up!
- Take your bags!
That's enough, both of you.
Leave me alone! I want to kill this boy.
- You'll kill who?
- Idiot!
- You'll kill who? Nonsense!
- Really?
- You're still talking?
- You will you kill? Yes!
- Yes. I'm talking.
- You're still talking?
- Look
- Hey.
Quickly, run!
Your sister fights with weapons!
- Run, okay?
- Weapons, indeed!
This is child's play.
When someone is really angry
the whole house will be vibrating.
Everywhere will shake. Look at the frame,
When you see angry people,
it shows. Your drama is not it.
- Okay, let me go.
- Go away!
I'm in serious trouble.
Ndidi, I'm begging you.
You're a thief!
- Stop shouting.
- What did you do use?
I should stop shouting. Am I your mate?
Five hundred million!
What did Tinuke do with it?
up to 500!
Tinuke, ah! Listen
all that's left is for you
to carry guns as well!
Good afternoon, my Daddy.
Don't try to cajole him.
Tell me,
which delivery did
you execute all that money on?
Um, my Daddy, I
- Get up, we're going home!
- Hey, hey, Mr. Dotun.
- Take this way!
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Tinuke?
Thief? Armed robber?
- Here comes the thief
- Go this way.
- This way!
- You can't escape. We're heading home.
- You think throwing bags is tough!
- What is the problem?
You are throwing bags,
thinking you've achieved something.
A man's plaything.
God pass you and that your stupid sister!
You're cursed! You're mad!
Yes!
It's definitely them.
Right?
Ngozi and Ifeanyi!
- Why did you hit my baby in that manner?
- Who is this?
Do you want to fall prey
to the god of the iron?
- Don't you know that--
- I'm a chief.
- A chief to your mother.
- A chief to your generations.
Chief in what land?
You're doomed!
- Who conferred you with such title?
- Deal with him!
Who conferred the title on you?
I'm a chief!
I'm a chief!
I'm a chief!
So, you're the ones
exploiting money from men, right?
No.
Are you acting stubborn?
We will deal with you.
Mommy, please! That boy
will not enter this house again.
I have told you!
- Nobody
- Look at that! What is it?
- What are you looking for?
- Yes, what is it?!
- She is the one.
- These are touts.
Your crazy children
are the akuna kuna you just called.
- Solo.
- Mama!
This is "Cancer Mummy."
Give her a "cancer slap."
- Wait, wait!
- Hey, hey!
- What's your problem?
- My God!
What is it? What have I done to you guys?
- What is it?
- Where is the 500,000 Anthony gave you?
- We don't have 500 thousand!
- You don't have it?
Ah, no?
We will get it!
Do you hear me? Where is it?
We will get it.
Olowo Steel needs capable hands.
I'm next in line!
Dotun's Dad!
- Dotun's Dad!
- Mommy.
- Dotun's Dad!
- I'll talk to him.
Mommy, please beg him on my behalf.
You've gone mad! You're crazy!
You had the guts to send those girls
to beat me and my mother!
You don't have any regard for my mother!
I think you must be crazy!
- If I catch you!
- Give me the phone!
Don't worry, talk to him.
Let me tell you,
don't ever pass through this area.
Just avoid this area.
Avoid doing anything on the mainland.
Avoid it. You're crazy!
Crazy man, mad man!
Broke man!
- You're crazy! I'll finish you in--
- Don't just--
So what?
I know. And I feel bad about it,
It seems you forgot
that we were born in the ghetto.
Forget the Queen's English we speak here.
Look at me!
When someone treats you that bad,
you must revenge.
You must show them that you're ghetto!
You must give them the street vibes.
She sent me voice notes, threatening me.
Why?
Is she threatening you?
I joined cooperatives.
When we celebrate, we dey pop champagne
Atinuke, keep explaining
till you get tired.
But anyway, there's evidence
on this one though.
And I'm the one holding the evidence.
What next?
Hey, babe, how are you?
- I'm fine.
- What's up, what's up?
Hope no problems.
Hello, my daddy. I'm I'm
Mercy, indeed!
we'll talk.
Good day.
And focus on this eba
And my special afang soup.
I wish I could get some loaves of bread.
Or some groundnuts.
I wish i could lay my hands
on ekuru and draw it to the left.
Unkind people!
They'll starve you to death, rich people.
They only care about work.
God help me.
This is a kitchen.
I'm sure there's food in there.
It has happened! The die is cast.
Madam is now a side chic.
I'm full.
My madam didn't even eat this moi-moi.
Madam, I was just wondering why
you didn't eat the food I served you.
Madam for three days now
- Charity.
- you haven't eated.
- Leave.
- I'm sorry, ma.
Hello, ma.
I looked around for Joy to no avail.
So, I decided to look for Joy
and get some water, ma.
- Get out of my house! Are you mad?
- I want to get some water.
- Get out!
- She asked me to leave. I want some water.
Are you crazy?
Please give me some water.
- Can you go?
- Ah. I'm
This guy that talks too much.
you snap at me,
then you're going through something.
Boss!
I'll explain in detail.
when Madam came out,
she was wearing a nicely shaped outfit.
The outfit was curvy.
Her new look emphasized her shape.
I opened this back door for her to sit.
Okay. When she entered the car,
then I turned to the other side.
Then we moved. When we moved, we went out.
This morning, we both entered
the car and we left.
While on motion,
she asked me to stop the car.
Lots of pizza, ice cream,
pastries of all sorts. Plenty.
- Then I started driving.
- Semiu, where did you take it to?
Take it easy, you asked me to be patient
Madam asked me to park
in front of a house.
I parked there.
Madam carried all the pizza, ice cream
and all the junk food she bought.
Then the man carried it into the house.
She instructed me to wait outside.
She didn't allow me into the house.
- She entered the house
- So I stood by the car, like this.
I stood by the car this way.
I heard Madam's laughter.
And the second person.
Get out! Is that what I'm asking you?!
You asked me.
If you shout at me,
you'll hurt my feelings.
Of course, it was Aunt Sarah.
Aunt Sarah with the Queen's English.
Speaking a lot of English.
Man?
Aunty Sarah's was
the only place we went all day.
What have I done now?
You insist that I drive Madam,
- that I shouldn't drive you.
- Shut up!
And get lost.
Serves you right.
This is what you get when you
don't take good care of your wife.
My Tinuke
What?!
My Tinuke.
I'm yet to bear a child.
Uche, what do you think?
This issue is as complicated as when
someone's mouth gets farted in
then had salt poured in as well.
It's impossible to swallow the fart
yet the salt cannot be spat out.
But Tinuke is another man's wife?
What kind of problem is this?
Yes I know.
Felix, what's up?
What is this girl doing here?
What's up with you?
that you and this your auntie
did to my family,
we've been trailing you.
We follow you everywhere.
Excuse me! What are you talking about?
- Cool it down. Calm down, please.
- Are you mad?
Please, please.
Ingrate. See, your auntie
wants to spoil your business.
- You allow this young girl to insult me?
- Look, people are leaving.
- Can you see now? She's spoiling it.
- This small girl.
Auntie, calm down. Let me
give you the scoop that will favour you.
Sister, please.
father to Atinuke,
the married woman you're sleeping with
That man doesn't like scandal.
And I have more videos
of you both kissing and cuddling.
My family and I have secured our visas
and we've bought our tickets.
This ten million naira
is only for soft landing.
So how's it going to be?
Bank transfer?
Let's talk business!
Let's talk.
- Really?
- Yes.
Aunty Witchy!
So you can be this calm, Auntie?
No problem.
Let's get to business.
If your mother is worth anything,
and your father too,
I dare you to live up to that threat!
By the time we're done with you, right
they won't even find your corpse!
I swear!
You heard what my sister said?
If you misbehave,
you'll get what's coming to you.
Your body will go missing.
Ah, come on!
You'll go to jail.
- Kola, what's the meaning of this?
- You'll go to jail!
My boss is always
leaving his second phone behind, mh?
So I decided to check, hm?
Then I overhead the boss voice and him.
They were shouting.
So I was wondering.
That was why I came to inform Aunt Sarah.
Because if I told you,
you wouldn't believe me.
Madam, this is serious.
That was what I heard
Exactly what I heard!
Madam, yes, I agree that I overdo things.
But I'm not a liar!
I regret not having an android phone.
But for this archaic phone of mine,
I would have recorded
their conversations and show you evidence.
- Ma?
- Look up and look down.
- Give me my phone.
- Tinuke!
Give me my phone!
Where's the car key?
- Give it to me!
- Fired?
Madam, please I beg you
in the name of God, please don't fire me.
How do I feed?
What do I eat after my dismissal?
Why did I do this?
Semiu, you're crazy, you're foolish.
Madam, my boss
asked me to be monitoring you.
Though I knew about
your relationship with Mr. Anthony,
I didn't tell my boss.
You see, because the issue
involves a potential murder
that's why I don't want them
to kill you and the baby inside you.
I support you always. That's why I
please beg Madam on my behalf.
Semiu, just go.
I'll sort it out.
Wait, is Kola using juju for you?
That's my stance.
- Move it!
- Another Yahoo boy?
Madam, we haven't seen you for a while.
Everyone has been asking me
of your whereabouts.
I told them I don't know.
I asked the boss,
he said you are with Grandma.
Even Semiu and your driver,
John don't know where you are.
Yes ma, I'm just talking because
the boss asked
all the staff to leave the house.
Even Semiu and John have moved away.
I'm the only one here.
I'm waiting for my boyfriend
to pick me up.
Why did he ask you all should go home?
I don't know.
I think he's even travelled.
Tinuke Olowoporoku, you're testing me.
You're toying
with the cobra's head. I swear!
Today, definitely.
I'll track you down even
to Sarah's house to collect that money.
Oh fine, your house is fine.
I'll meet you at home. Yes.
Get off my phone!
Tinuke, you want to die. I swear.
Who is playing?
Me! I had to stop everything
I was doing to trail you.
Looking for evidence.
I found evidence and gave it to you.
And you don't want to pay us.
Ma'am, I'm ready to go.
So as I was heading out
I tried to press the remote of the gate
but the remote control isn't working.
Maybe you pressed the wrong button
when you entered and spoilt the remote.
No, ma'am. Maybe you pressed
the wrong button--
Ma'am, you mean
I should leave the gate open.
What if someone comes in and steals?
In this economy?
See?
Accursed man.
I reject tubal occlusion, in Jesus' name!
Amen!
Kola, I will announce it
to the whole world.
Hey, hey, leave her alone!
- Useless man!
- Advance!
It will never be well with you!
It will not be well with you!
Ah, my dear.
How are you?
- Mommy?
- Yes, it's me.
And your brother.
Hope you're okay.
How are you feeling?
- My baby.
- Baby is fine.
They checked it here.
Please don't cry, my dear.
- Thank you, Mommy.
- Thank you, my dear.
- Sarah.
- Good afternoon, ma.
- Sarah, well done, my dear.
- Yes, ma.
Well done. Good looking out.
Good afternoon, ma.
Good afternoon.
This is Anthony.
We know him
- Yes, Mommy.
- We have met him.
- Good afternoon.
- We know him.
- She didn't lose it.
- We'll get you out.
- Sorry, my dear.
- Yes ma.
- My dear, thank you. Thank you.
- Yes, ma.
- Well done.
- Yes, ma.
