Must Read: Had I known - Season 1 - Episode 49

At the police station where the killer of the gateman was taken to after he was arrested and the body of the gateman was deposited in the mortuary.

Policeman: (hits him with the baton in his hand) Mr. Tony, who asked you to kill Chief Agaba.
Tony: (bleeding from all part of his body and also pleading) am telling you the truth, i don’t know him.
Policeman: if you don’t tell me the truth, i will kill you even before the judge sentence you.
Tony: sir, am not lying, i dont know the person that sent me.
Policeman: how is that possible?
Tony: sir, i met him at a club late at night, he never told me his name and the place was dark so i couldnt see his face properly.
Policeman: then how did you communicate with him before you carried out this evil act.
Tony: in the club that night, i ranted about my inability to get a job after five years of graduation from the university and after he heard that, he gave me his phone number that i should communicate with him, that he has a job to offer me.
Policeman:. And this job he offered you, how much did he pay for it.
Tony: two million naira sir.
Policeman: so, how did the gateman get involved in all this?
Tony: which gateman?
Policeman: (slaps him hard on his cheeks) the one you sent to his early grave just a few hours ago.
Tony: sir, i will tell you the truth.
Policeman: better, because it’s for your own good.
Tony: when he gave me the job and i realized it was dirty job, i didn’t want to turn it down because of the money involved, so i decided to use the gateman of the person i was supposed to take out to do the dirty work.
Policeman: then how come you killed him?
Tony: sir, it wasn’t my idea to kill him o.
Policeman: whose idea was it?
Tony: the person that sent me.
Policeman: how? Why did he ask you to kill the gateman?
Tony: he said the gateman will expose us if we don’t take him out of the picture.
Policeman: (spanks him on the head) and you heartlessly took him out.
Tony: sir, am sorry, it was the work of the devil.
Policeman: (gets up and starts walking away) tell that to the judge.

Jayjay: mum, not that issue again this night, am feeling sleepy.
Jayjay’s Mum: you will still have to face it after running from it, Onyi, he is your father, you can not change that.
Jayjay: (sternly) he only brought me into this world, he is not my father, i don’t have a father.
Jayjay’s Mum: my son, you have a father, you just need to accept him, that’s all.
Jayjay: mum i don’t have, mum do you know how many times i woke up at night crying and looking for my mum and he will pretend like he didn’t hear me, do you know?
Jayjay’s Mum: Onyi, i understand, but that doesn’t mean you should hate him forever for that small mistake he made.

Jayjay: mum, no mistake is small, a mistake is a mistake.
Jayjay’s Mum: alright, but you still have to forgive him.
Jayjay: i will forgive when i feel like forgiving him.
Jayjay’s Mum: it is not about forgiving him when you feel like, it is about forgiving him at the right time.
Jayjay: mum, i already told you my mind, i don’t feel like forgiving him now.
Jayjay’s Mum: you don’t feel like forgiving him now? Your father is in a critical condition and he might not make it out alive which i don’t pray for, and you are here contemplating on forgiving him or not.
Jayjay: am not contemplating, i said i will forgive him later but not now.
Jayjay’s Mum: fine, do whatever you like, but atleast go and see him.
Jayjay: he was your husband, so you can go in my place.
Jayjay’s Mum: Onyi, go and see your father i beg you please.
Jayjay: mum, i already told you my mind.
Jayjay’s Mum: please do it for my sake.
Jayjay: please don’t force me, am a grown man, i can make my own decisions.
Jayjay’s mum: please am not asking you to forgive now, am only asking you to go and see him in the hospital.
Jayjay: mum, okay i will go.
Jayjay’s Mum: Onyi, thank you, thank you.
Jayjay: mum, dont get too excited, cos i have my own condition.
Jayjay’s mum: what’s the condition?
Jayjay: that the three of us go to the hospital together to see him.
