♪ Where my ladies at? ♪

♪ Where my ladies at? ♪

[car engine revving]

♪ Can anyone, can anyone?
Ladies night… ♪

[Khanyi] Today I've decided let me put
women together and let's drink tea.

♪ Where my ladies at? ♪

♪ Ladies night… ♪

And also, Nadia's birthday's coming up
but she won't be around,

so let's appreciate the girl.

-[Zari] How've you been?
-Good. Can't complain. And yourself?

-[Zari] Okay.
-Yeah.

[Zari] Fine.

The last time I saw you guys
was at Diamond's.

-[Zari] Yeah.
-Yeah.

-The Arabic-themed…
-Yeah.

[laughing] Arabic-themed party.

[Khanyi] It was crazy.

[Kayleigh] At Diamond's party,
you know, when Zari walked in,

I think all of us felt
extremely uncomfortable.

To have her sit there

and have her not even understand
or know what's going on,

and everyone else does…

So it was all just so uncomfortable.

Oh! Guys, look who's here!

-Aw, and she's wearing white!
-[all exclaiming]

[Zari] The fabulous one.

-[Khanyi] You look amazing!
-Thank you.

I was surprised to see Zari.

-How are you?
-[both kissing]

I didn't think she was going to be there.
Nobody gave me that memo. [laughing]

-How are the kids?
-Kids are great. Yours? Family?

-[Annie] Very well.
-Husband?

[Annie] Okay, I miss him, some.

-Here we go again.
-He needs to come.

There we go again!

-That night--
-He was all you were talking about.

Yeah, he was the only person
you actually spoke about that day.

I don't know if he's ever gonna come,
but he has to come.

He will come.

I picked up a lot of shade
at the Arabic Nights between the women.

There was just… [inhales]
There was an air that wasn't right.

I mean, here's Nadia,
who's supposed to be with Diamond.

But instead Diamond brings his past in.

Then there's Annie this side…
You know what I'm saying?

So I just felt like, listen,
we need a bit of tea because

there's a bit of, uh, bones to be picked,
if you get what I mean.

[upbeat hip-hop music playing]

[Khanyi] Oh, "Miss Party" is here finally.

-[Zari laughing]
-[Khanyi] Hi!

-[Nadia squealing] Hi!
-[Zari] Who got the memo?

[woman] Hello to you!

How you guys doing?

Hi, girl.

[Nadia] Why is Zari here?

I don't know her like that,

so it's awks.

I don't like
unnecessarily ruffled feathers.

I feel like she's a ruffler.

[dramatic music playing]

-[upbeat hip-hop song playing]
-♪ Okay, here we go ♪

♪ Nobody, nobody stoppin' the show ♪

♪ While we're all waiting
To get in my bag ♪

♪ We just too late
We 'bout to blow ♪

[Swanky] I literally set up
this luxury spa day.

The boys are gonna be treated
with champagne, with fruits,

with everything that replenishes
your soul, your body, your mind,

you know, and just… [inhales] …relax.

Swanky! [chuckling]

[Swanky] Naked!

-[Naked DJ] Are you good?
-[Swanky] I'm good.

-[Naked DJ] Tears of Caesar.
-[Swanky] Of-- Oh!

[Naked DJ] Ah, dude, I need this.

Especially after
the hectic Diamond's party.

-You almost missed all the drama.
-What? Tell me.

-[intriguing music playing]
-So, Diamond has been hitting on Nadia.

I know Nadia is
in love with her boyfriend.

So I'm wondering
why is Nadia giving this guy any audience.

Then…

-Pow!
-…Zari comes out.

Pow pow!

Dude! I was…

I'm thinking, "What the f*ck
is wrong with Diamond?"

When Zari came, I was there.

In fact, I didn't get laid at home
this whole weekend, 'cause Kayleigh thinks

I'm sort of like encouraging
Diamond to do this

while Diamond has another woman.

And it's like, "No, but Quinton,
you guys are friends."

She does have a point
to label me guilty by association

because I'm dealing with amateurs.

Bro code!

You don't bring
all your women to one place.

I'm sexually frustrated,
you know, so I'm glad he brought us here.

-Why is he sexually frustrated?
-[Swanky] This one is being punished.

-So you're not getting laid? [laughing]
-'Cause of damn Diamond.

-Imagine!
-What do you mean?

[Diamond] Hello!

Your friend is behind you.

[Andile] There he is. Look at that.
Man of the moment.

Here comes Diamond,
looking like a flamingo in pink.

[men laughing]

-No! Ah-ah, ah-ah.
-What have I done?

-What have I done?
-No, Diamond.

I'm just joining my friends.

The boys started complaining to me,
blaming me.

I'm not getting sex at home
because of you.

-[scoffs] Why?
-Your messed-up actions.

How? Like, I don't get it.

His girlfriend thinks
all three of you are the same.

Uh, I think there's no love there.
I think that lady must be not serious.

[Naked DJ] How do you invite
all your women to your house?

-You put me in an awkward moment.
-[Diamond] No. How?

-[Andile] Kayleigh and Nadia are friends.
-[Naked DJ] Yes!

So obviously Kayleigh feels Nadia's pain
and thinks,

"What the f*ck? You and Diamond
and your boys do all the same thing."

If your girlfriend's getting mad at you
because of someone else's problem,

that shows that there's something that…
You're wrong somewhere.

At golf, you tell us,
"Hey, guys, I like Nadia."

You didn't even speak
to Nadia at the event.

Do you think you treated her well
at your event?

-Yes.
-Come on.

[Swanky] How do you know
when you've not even spoken to her?

You ignored her the whole time!

[Diamond] Well, Nadia told me
we should be friends at the moment.

Even if she was my girlfriend,

Zari, when she comes,
like, she's the queen.

She deserved to have
the crown at that moment.

They always say,
"Do not spit your chewing gums

just because a person maybe
give a piece of grape."

[Swanky] Mm.
You must retain your chewing gum.

[Andile] Hold it in your hand.

-Yes!
-And finish the grape?

-And then put it back in.
-Yeah.

Huh?

-It's like you…
-[Swanky] Throwing out your gum…

…throwing out your chewing gum
just because I gave you one grape.

Are you getting my point?
That was my point.

But what I'm trying to know is,
who's the gum and who's the grapes?

Buy your girl some grapes

and explain to her that Nadia's a grape
and Zari's the chewing gum.

Wow.

Thinking about it, it's probably
the cleverest thing Diamond has ever said.

[DJ Naked] Next time,
call one woman at a time.

[Swanky laughing]

Can you bring me that bottle,
Zari, please?

I mean,
after Diamond's surprise with Zari,

let's get to know Zari better.
Without the men.

-She knows how to hold a champagne bottle.
-This is where I come from.

-It's a lifestyle.
-[Annie] It's a lifestyle!

I don't know. I don't like champagne.

[upbeat music playing]

[Zari] Nadia, she's pretty.

Can I help you?

You know, she's got
that whole gangster thing. [laughing]

-And you better pop it loud.
-[Kayleigh] Come on, girl.

-Do it! [screams]
-[Annie] Do it already!

-I'm trying!
-[Khanyi] Bring back that bottle.

[Zari] Me and Nadia, I'm like,
"Okay, that's a whole opposite of me."

Let's just find out
who everybody is tonight.

[women shrieking, laughing]

-[Nadia] Okay.
-[Kayleigh] sh*t…

-[Nadia] That wasn't bad.
-It's on the table.

[Khanyi] Nadia is going overseas
to go see Vic.

So I felt it would only be nice
for us to just give her a send-off.

I'm going to go see Vic in Mexico
for my birthday.

You look very excited.

I'm so excited. I'm gonna have
so much sex, you have no idea.

-[Diamond] I'm about to go back home.
-[Swanky] Cheers.

Thank you for that.

I'm going back to Tanzania
because I have couple business trips

and as well I have to finalize my album.

I'll be missing you guys,
but I'll come back.

[Swanky] Come quick. We're here.

With all the p*ssy on your mind,
I doubt you'll be missing us.

[men laughing]

When you come to Tanzania,
I'll never want you to work.

Okay.

Spoiling you, and making sure that
you and your girlfriend will break up.

Wow.

[Nadia] How are you and Naked?

-How you doing?
-[Kayleigh clears throat]

We're okay. We actually had an argument.

-[all exclaiming]
-About what?

-Guys, relax.
-[Nadia laughs]

I'm not happy about his new "friendship"
that he's developed with Diamond.

We disagree a lot.

Which I think is okay.
That's what builds us.

What do you guys disagree on?

[dramatic music playing]

Diamond is out there

h*-ing. [laughing]

The fact that he's been…
He's been hanging out with…

Diamond.

-[women laughing]
-Oh, wow.

When she complains about Naked, it's like
her complaining about my older brother.

I honestly feel like I need to see Naked.

I need to talk to Q and say,
"Dude, what's happening?"

You don't want him
hanging out with Diamond?

I don't know, it's just like he's…
The way that…

Obviously, Diamond,
you know what he said about Nadia.

-[dramatic music building]
-And how he feels about Nadia.

I don't even know what has been going on
while I hadn't joined the camp.

It's a little bit, now, intense.

-[Kayleigh] Yes, sis.
-[Khanyi] He likes Nadia.

[Kayleigh] He likes Nadia,
and then next thing you know, he…

-[Khanyi] He pitches with Zari.
-You know what I mean?

[dramatic musical beat]

Why are you mentioning it?

Who asked you?

It's not your business.

[Nadia] I honestly felt uncomfortable
when you walked in,

because of the fact that the conversations
I've been having with Diamond,

obviously have been advances.

I met up with him
when he was trying to buy a car.

Wait a second, aren't you somebody's baby?

Aren't you supposed to be flying
to Mexico, like, in a day or two from now?

How come now you busy vibing?

[Nadia] I told Dia
that I'm not trying to date.

But even if I was into him,

your dynamic with Diamond
would've made me feel awkward

regardless of whatever.

What went wrong?

You guys were exchanging rings,
and holding hands and stuff.

Nadia, Nadia, you're catching feelings.

-Nadia likes Diamond.
-I don't like Diamond.

Even if I was the girlfriend,
I'd still have to compete with you,

and you're a whole lot of woman! Like…

Look at me.

Let's make this clear. Me and Diamond,
it's not like we're back together.

-[Annie] Are you guys together?
-[Zari] He comes, visits, and he leaves.

We're not together. We're not f*cking.
We're not even sleeping or touchy-touchy.

But what I saw at that party--

The way you and Diamond sat there,

that's not like two people
who are co-parenting.

My man cannot have a party,

and the mother of his child will sit there
and be doing that… Nonsense.

-[Khanyi] It's a problem.
-[Annie] Would never happen.

Why would that make you uncomfortable?

When the chemistry is so undeniable,
it's like what you guys are saying--

Do you know we were all talking,
you guys didn't hear us?

-Remember? We were all making a joke.
-That's not true.

I don't think he's ready to let you go.

-I honestly do not think--
-He loves you.

He wants--

It's not my problem.
It's the next woman's problem.

[dramatic music playing]

Zari's acting very calm for someone
who's just found out that

the father of your child
is slowly moving onto

your new friend that
you're sitting with at the table.

But, by the looks of things,
I don't think it's sitting well with her.

She still has that guy
in the palm of her hand.

[Diamond] Spoke to Zari.

Told her, like, if I were to marry,
you're the one that I'm supposed to marry.

But I know myself.

I'm a player.

I'm a b*tch.

I will never give you
the respect that you deserve.

She's so nice. You know?
Zari, she's so nice.

She's so polite, she's so decent.

-I don't know how.
-So you can't be with one girl?

It's difficult.

-[Diamond laughing]
-[Andile] No, I feel you.

Yo, man, this is Diamond's world,
and we're all just grapes in it.

[Diamond] I feel like she deserves
more than that, so from my point of view,

instead of letting us fight,
I'd rather co-parent.

[Annie] Zari, she disrespected me
at Diamond's party.

I'm gonna have to address
what's on my mind right now.

'Cause I didn't want
to start befriending her

without letting her know what she did,

so I wanted to get that out of the way.

[tense music playing]

You got me annoyed that night.

-What just happened here?
-[women laughing]

What are we talking about?

-[Nadia] What just happened here?
-You upset me that night.

Really? What did I do?

In this moment in time, I don't understand
what she's talking about.

She takes me back again
to the Arabian Nights.

-Ooh! Let me take my glasses off.
-[Kayleigh] Let me sip my tea. [laughs]

Oop! [laughs]

It just went zero to a hundred real quick.

-Okay.
-When you came in, I was already seated.

So apparently you didn't know
what I was wearing,

you didn't see what I was wearing,
if it was a long or short dress.

All right.

When I got up to use the bathroom,
so before I could even stand on my feet,

she said,
"Why is your bum all over the place?"

"I can see your whole bum.
Why are you exposing?" Blah, blah, blah.

-You were rude to me.
-[Zari laughing]

You disrespected me at that party.

-That was disrespectful to me.
-[Nadia] Oh.

If your bum was all over the place,
it was out, it was out.

Listen, even if it was out and it was out,
there are ways to tell me.

-You're a grown-a*s woman, so am I.
-[Zari] How did I say it?

-I could have probably said it jokingly.
-It wasn't joking.

Not in a way, like,
"Girl, your bum is out."

[Annie] Did I reply?

It could be like,
"Girl, your bum is all over the show."

I think Annie…
Annie likes picking… [chuckles]

She likes nitpicking.

Annie, I didn't even know I offended you.
I'm sorry.

I did mention…

you're half-naked.

And being Arabic Night,
I didn't expect her to dress like that.

Annie, I'm sorry. Honestly, I'm sorry.
I didn't think I offended you.

[tense music continues]

Okay? We're good?

-Apology accepted? My bad.
-Accepted.

Me and Annie are cool for now.

She accepted my apology,

but I kind of feel like there's more
about Annie that is going to pop up.

[Khanyi] I'm here to meet Naked.

I'm concerned about his relationship.

It looks picture-perfect on social media,

but in real life,
it's not as pretty as it seems.

So, my brother and I need to talk,

and I'm here to bite the b*llet
because he is a tough one.

-I'm waiting for Naked. I'm still here.
-[Kudzi] What is he doing?

Oh, he's just walked in,
he's just walked in. Bye.

-Hi.
-[Khanyi laughing] Hello.

Always on your phone.

Hey, I've got a boyfriend.

-Yeah. Okay.
-And he wants to know where I am.

Khanyi and I have known each other
close to 20 years.

-Are you good?
-[Khanyi] I'm good.

[Naked DJ] And we are quite close.

You know, big sister,
little brother kind of friendship.

-I'm your brother.
-You are!

So why's he checking in on you?

Uh, he cares, okay?

I know both of the women
that Naked was married to.

-To your adult minder, Kudzi.
-Kudzi.

[Khanyi] When he gets married,
he needs to let me know.

Divorces? "I can't do this, Khanyi.
I'm letting go."

But this relationship, we didn't discuss.

That's why it affects me so much
on why they fight so much.

You've always given me

that I can come at you straight.

-You always come at me straight.
-What have I done now?

-[in Zulu] Let me tell you.
-[in English] You never do this to me.

If you have anything to say to me,
just say it.

[tense music playing]

[in Zulu] Your relationship is turbulent.

-[Naked DJ, in English] Yeah.
-Your relationship is turbulent!

Don't… You must get off your high horse.

-Are you coming at me right now?
-No, you can't say--

-Are you coming at me right now?
-No.

Last thing I knew…

I mean, I never know when
the next time you're gonna be in a…

different Lamborghini is.

[tense music continues]

Right? So wait.

Don't come here and say to me,
"No, Quinton, you need to do this."

-No, Quinton, it is alarming.
-But you don't do that.

If you're always arguing, it's alarming.

If you're always in a Lambo,
it's alarming.

What do you mean, "always in a Lambo"?
As if I'm always in different Lambos.

-I care too. I care about you.
-[Khanyi] But I called you.

I would actually take you seriously
if you've been clean on your side.

I'm not clean.

Kudzi was like a genie in a bottle
that just appeared.

[in Zulu] You have a problem with Kudzi?
You don't like Kudzi?

-What are you trying to say?
-[in English] I have a problem with you.

Like, you're treating him
like he's a-- a gender reveal party.

Is that what people do now?

It's not a gender reveal.
You don't reveal--

You're so rude.
Like, I-- you're-- you're rude.

You don't reveal your partner at a ball.

So why do you reveal your partner
to me on social media?

You must follow and like,
and shut your mouth.

[dramatic chord plays]

And I have a problem with who's there
to pick up the pieces when they leave.

Who's there to pick up the pieces…

-You! You.
-…when you decide to leave?

-That's, look--
-You are gonna pick up the pieces.

You're gonna make me feel better.

You're the guy that's gonna sit with me
when I'm going through the heartbreak.

I haven't signed up to babysit you.

It's not babysitting. It's support.

-No, I… From now on--
-You're actually a d*ck.

-You can call me whatever you want.
-A d*ck.

-I don't do post support.
-[in Zulu] You're deflecting.

I'm concerned about
your fights with your girlfriend.

-[in English] Now you're coming at me--
-I can fight with my person.

[in Zulu] She's my girlfriend.

[in English] f*ck, you're actually
making me emotional. I'm gonna cry.

-If you cry, I leave.
-But you just came at me.

-I did not come at you.
-f*ck.

Just take a moment. Gather yourself.

Ga… No, no, no, don't do that.

-You're horrible.
-No, don't do that, man.

We're in a public place. Don't do that.

-You're horrible.
-I'm not horrible. I care.

I'm looking out for you,
and you're attacking me.

I didn't attack you.

-Why are you attacking me?
-I'm not.

-You're f*cking attacking me!
-No, no, don't be emotional about stuff.

I'm being emotional
because I care about you.

What you say matters.

This is why I didn't want
to see you early.

Because it matters.

I wanted to know who I'm dating
before I can present him to you.

And this you come to me

because you're running away
from your own issues.

-I'm not running away from the issues.
-I presented him at a nice setting.

-No.
-A f*cking ball.

Kudzi's my start to finish.

He's my anti-depressant.

And it hurts me because he is now painting

a innocent and good man,

dragging him into Kayleigh's flaws,
where Kudzi shouldn't…

You're attacking the wrong guy.

I just never wanna see you hurt.

He's not gonna hurt me.
I'm getting married.

-No, you are not getting married.
-[dramatic music playing]

What do you mean?

You and I are not jumping
into anything anytime soon.

-Why?
-Take your time.

-Stop cursing my relationship!
-[Naked DJ] Mm-mm.

There's deep-seated issues
that you're running away from.

-What? No!
-No, it's fine.

All I'm gonna say is,
let's all meet at couple therapy.

Let's have a group session,
and we'll all talk about our issues.

[in Zulu] You say you don't know Kudzi.

[in English] You'll get to know him.
Ask him questions in front of a therapist.

I'm going home.

-[in Zulu] Leave.
-Piss off!

[Khanyi, in English] I need to help Naked.

He needs help, and I'm going to help him.

sh*t.

[dramatic music fades]

[mid-tempo hip-hop song playing]

[Annie] Hey!

Like, from Nigeria and coming here,

for me, like, the most challenging thing
about being here in Johannesburg

is at night.

I get so lonely at night.

-[in Pidgin] How are you doing?
-I'm okay, I'm good.

[in English] I miss you guys.

It's about to be ten years
since we got married.

Even though Innocent and I,
we've been through a lot of tough times,

we still got each other.

Where are my babies? Are they there?

[Olivia] Mamma, you are very pretty.

-Beautiful!
-[laughs] Oh, thank you! Thank you, baby.

When I found out Innocent was having
the first set of kids the same year…

[melancholy music playing]

…I was devastated, of course.

How do you repeat the same mistake twice?

[sniffles]

Um…

That's an emotion
that has no medicine to cure.

That's a feeling, like,
there's no medication for it.

It's you.

You have to be your medicine.

You have to choose to heal.

Can't nobody heal you from that.

But today, somehow, I'm grateful
because you see all of these things…

All the things that happened,
and all of the children, kind of mold him

to be the good man he is today.

So there are no regrets.
Those are my kids.

Baby, let's take a picture.
Smile for me now.

Smile for me, baby.

[Innocent] Okay, all right.

[upbeat hip-hop song playing]

-[Swanky] Good morning, darling.
-This is not a good morning.

Why you don't come to my hotel?
Every time, I have to come here.

-How are you?
-I'm good.

I have invited Annie for breakfast
at my residence.

You're on the Gucci Gucci-ish
this morning.

-I'm not trying to stress you now.
-I miss you.

Annie has been floating, you know,
since we got to South Africa.

Annie's had some up and downs,

and I have a big surprise for her.

-Man, we had this tea. Fancy tea.
-[chuckling] Yeah.

But, you know, I told you
what happened with Zari and my dress.

-[Swanky] Mm, mm, mm.
-You were helping me adjust.

So I told her how I felt.
Everybody went quiet, like…

They're minding their business, like,
"What's happening?"

-Drinking tea.
-She apologized though.

-That was so cool.
-[Swanky] Zari is a pleasant lady.

-What's happening, Annie?
-Wow!

-Swanky!
-[Swanky] Annie!

Do you have a secret admirer
in South Africa?

No, Swanky.
[in Pidgin] Is it not you who bought them?

[in English] Then roses everywhere.

Roses, flowers. I'm like, "Okay…"

-I need to find out what's happening.
-Swanky!

-[Swanky] This is crazy.
-Ouch!

[Swanky] I'll find out.

-Swanky, did you have to do that?
-[Innocent, in Pidgin] Hey, hey, hey!

[Innocent laughing]

-[Annie] Inno!
-[emotional music playing]

[squealing] Inno!

[both laughing]

[in English] Wait, wait, wait! [squeals]

-[in Pidgin] How are you?
-You always come through.

[both laughing]

[mid-tempo hip-hop song playing]

[in English] I'm back in South Africa
right now

'cause I miss my baby and, you know…

[in Pidgin] I just came
to give her a hug. [chuckles]

-Inno!
-What's up?

[in Pidgin] Did you say
I wasn't going to come through?

[both laughing emotionally]

[in English] No, it can't…
This is not what's happening.

[Annie squealing, laughing]

Me and Swanky, we go way, way back.

2Baba, king.

I just called him. [in Pidgin]
And I asked him to bring her outside.

[in English] Shock her,
because I didn't want

Annie to know that I was coming.

Oh my God, baby.

[upbeat hip-hop song playing]

-Behave yourself.
-[Annie laughing]

Behave yourself, my friend.

You know, today she has
every right to misbehave. It's okay.

[laughing]

Let's go to Sun City. Let's go.

You guys have to go there, for sure.

I made arrangements for Sun City.

-Yes.
-sh**t them down one-by-one!

-Champagne, darling.
-[Innocent] I have another surprise.

Let's do something, you know,
instead of just an ordinary anniversary.

Ten years is no joke, man.

Cheers to baby brought
a lot of dollars for me.

-I'm going shopping because he's here.
-Yes, darling.

["Don't Act a Fool"
by Samuel S. Garay playing]

[Naked DJ] This punishment thing
needs to stop

because I don't see
why I need to be punished

for things other people are doing.

You gotta act right.

[Naked DJ] And then now
you've got us going to this thing.

-[Kayleigh] It's couples induction.
-[Naked DJ] What's that?

It's a therapy session, as far as
I understood. It's just the four of us.

Khanyi suggested it,
and she said it would be good for us.

[Naked DJ] Khanyi suggested it.
That's the problem.

[dramatic music playing]

[Kayleigh] At first, I was like,

ugh, this is weird having, you know,
two or three other couples around you

crying and showing their vulnerabilities.
Like, no, that's not going to work for me.

But I definitely think
that couples therapy, like, wouldn't hurt.

-[therapist] Hello.
-[Naked DJ] Oh, hi.

-How are you?
-Welcome. Come in.

It's the therapist, Khanyi…

Kudzi's not there.

So you guys set me up.

-We didn't set you up.
-[Kayleigh] I didn't.

She doesn't even know.
Why are you attacking her?

This is not what was sold to me.

Oh, Kudzi doesn't want to see you.

[humorous music playing]

He wasn't happy of what happened
and how I got home yesterday.

-Thanks to you.
-[Kayleigh] So he's not joining?

No, he changed his mind.

[therapist] Okay, so how about now,
we just focus on the two of you?

-Thank you for bringing your friends here.
-Thank you.

-Okay.
-Say goodbye.

-Bye, Khanyi.
-Say goodbye to people.

[Kayleigh chuckles] The drama.

-No, she left like this the other night.
-Don't bring your anger out on me.

You know, she's rude all the time.
Always just storming off.

[birds chirping]

[Innocent] We're going to dinner
later tonight,

just me and her,
but she doesn't know all this yet.

Voila!

[Annie] Whoa!

[Innocent] A palace.

I'm planning to actually, like, ask her
to renew our vows.

-[Annie laughing]
-Our cabane.

Let's do something, you know?

♪ And, my darling, I'm there for you… ♪

[Innocent]
Instead of just an ordinary anniversary.

♪ Pop the question
And yes, I do… ♪

Like, my man, what's going on here, man?

[in Pidgin] I don't believe
you planned all this yourself.

[Annie laughing]

You're starting
to act romantic. [laughing]

[kissing]

[in English] I'm not the most
romantic guy, but I try. [laughing]

-[Innocent] My queen.
-Thank you.

[in Pidgin] I'm not going
to sleep alone tonight.

Hey!

[Annie laughing]

[in Pidgin] Tonight,
I'm sleeping with my guy.

[Annie and Innocent laughing]

[Kayleigh] You okay?

Yeah, but remember, now,

I had prepared myself mentally
for that group thing.

-Let me whoosa a little bit.
-[Kayleigh] See it as the same thing.

We're not here to argue.
It's not a bashing session.

Why do you always say that I argue?
I don't argue.

[Kayleigh] No, I'm telling you
to come with the right approach.

Like… we're just talking.

Do you find that this is something
that you guys often argue about?

-[Kayleigh chuckling] Yeah, all the time.
-[therapist] Yeah?

He doesn't know how to…
just, you know, listen.

I'll be like, "Can you just listen to me?"

Then he'll respond with,
"I am listening to you."

And then I'll be like, "You're listening,
but you're not actually hearing me."

-[Naked DJ] She's a dictator.
-[therapist] Okay, tell me about that.

She just wants
to dictate stuff all the time.

The last argument we had,

I asked her to make oats for me
in the morning,

and she refused to put sugar
in the oats for me.

[therapist] Why?

I'm trying to make it better for him.
I'm trying to do it for him. At the end--

But he knows exactly how he wants it,
and he's communicating that to you,

and you're denying
what he wants for himself.

I think she treats the rest of my life
like it's that oatmeal.

Everything is just like the oatmeal.

[therapist] Was there
a previous relationship before Quinton?

-Yeah.
-How did that end?

Well, it ended
'cause I caught him cheating.

-[therapist] Okay.
-We also fought a lot.

I think there was a lot of
miscommunication between us--

Don't say "also."
We don't fight a lot. You fight me a lot.

Okay.

Do you often interrupt
when she's trying to speak?

-Often.
-No, I think I need to.

You can't misrepresent
what the relationship is--

[Kayleigh] I'm presenting it
in a way I feel is right.

Absolutely. Just give her
the space to complete an idea

because I think this is where
the frustration comes from.

With your previous relationship
ending with cheating,

that brings up massive trust issues
with you, I'm assuming.

It all happens
because Quinton does not know

how to show his true feelings towards me.

Quinton is one of the most unromantic…

people I have ever met.

[therapist] Okay.

It became a thing where I was like,
"Do you feel anything for me?"

Kayleigh will say,
"Hold my hand at the mall."

-[Kayleigh] Don't say it like that.
-[therapist] You can't interrupt him.

-Yes!
-[therapist] You gotta listen to him.

There we go.

[therapist] The two of you've got to learn
to listen without interrupting.

You both want to cut each other off.

When you can start hearing each other,

it's going to calm down
a lot of this reactive bickering

that goes on between you.

Okay, great.

-Thank you.
-[therapist] Pleasure.

Hello.

[Diamond chuckling]

[Diamond] I'm going back to Tanzania.

See what Baba brought.

[Diamond] Every time I'm saying bye
to my kids, I feel so bad in my heart.

Whoa!

[daughter] The sour sweets!

[Diamond] It's one of the most
difficult thing in my life.

Sometimes there's this voice
comes to my head, like,

"So, are you letting your kids down?"

I mean, "Are you a failure now?"

[Diamond mimicking truck sound]

[Zari] Diamond as a father,

he's caring, he's nurturing,
he loves his kids.

Look at my presents, Mama.

You see what Mommy deserves?

See all these beautiful things?

[Diamond] And I'm trying my level best
to make sure that

I show her

the-- the appreciation of

what she does.

-Me, I have to go.
-Baba has to go, though.

No, you have to walk with me.

-[Diamond] I should go with you?
-Yeah.

Are you guys gonna miss me?

-Yeah.
-Yeah!

That was good to see you. Always. Yeah.

We love you. We miss you.

-You're welcome anytime.
-I love you guys.

-[son] Papa!
-Gimme a kiss.

[Diamond] I want us to have a good thing
that we've been having since we met.

[blows kiss]

-[kisses] Bye. Okay.
-[daughter] Let's go now.

All right, we'll see you soon.

[Diamond] Hopefully,
everything will be cool,

and all of these drama things will settle,

and we gonna have a strong
and best family as we always wish to have.

[soft jazz music playing]

[Innocent] Like, me and Annie,
we've known each other

for a long, long time over the years.

[saxophone playing softly]

[Innocent] Ups and downs and stuff.

Multiple pregnancies.

Scandal, you know,
the whole nine yards of all that stuff.

And she been with me
before the fame, before the money,

before all that sh*t, you know.

So I'm hoping to have a very, very
beautiful repropo-- reproposing.

[chuckling] Innocent, what is this?

[Innocent] I want to have a private time
with you now. Is that a problem?

You see, you see? You see, Nigerian women…

[Annie laughs]

…when your husband is trying
to do something romantic,

you say, "What are you doing?"

-[Annie laughing]
-"Innocent, what's this?"

-I like this. This is beautiful.
-Yeah?

-Honestly, I love it.
-[in Pidgin] I did a good job, right?

-[Innocent laughing]
-[in English] I love it. I do. [chuckles]

Innocent,

I wouldn't… Would I say…

I don't think
Innocent's romantic, romantic,

but this night…

This night looks different.

Once in a while,
I-I pull out all the romantic cards,

but not that often,

and sometimes it's not,
it's not on the flower-and-roses level.

Remember the first fancy place
that I took you to?

-[Innocent laughing]
-[in Ibibio] Hey, my God.

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

-[in English] So if I tell the waiter…
-I know, I know, I know.

[in Pidgin] …you'll now
act like you remembered.

-[in English] I remember.
-Remember?

-Years ago.
-Should we call it at the same time?

One, two, three…

-Fellard's.
-Fellard's.

[both laughing]

[warm music playing]

Wow, just thinking about
how far we've come

in our relationship.

Fellard's, man, in Festac.

In Festac, yes.

[Annie] Everything, I'm just thinking

how this is so beautiful.

[in Pidgin] I function better
when you and I are happy.

I remember the first time you heard

I got another woman pregnant.

[Annie, in English] Baby.

[in English] I know that that period
we were not really…

But I-I just could only imagine
how you felt.

You were young.

We were young.

You know, but I'm happy that, you know,

you didn't discard me. [chuckling]

[in Pidgin] That's the word
people use now, "Discard."

-[in English] You know, I'm actually…
-[Innocent] Mm-hmm.

I remember that period, man, sh*t.

And I'm just so happy that, you know,
the fact that…

you're actually thinking about it.
You can't imagine how I felt that time.

[in Pidgin] Because the truth is most of
the time I thought honestly and truly…

[in English]
…most of the time, all those times,

and even after we got married…

[in Pidgin] …I thought maybe you…

[in English] I just felt like
maybe you don't know

how hurt I was all those times.

The first, the second, you know.

[Innocent] Mm.

We've come a long way.

[Annie] You know how for heartbreaks,

I think, um, actually being stabbed

is actually-- it's less painful
than going through heartbreaks.

I was young, I was naive.

And so with all of the fame,

and then more women and then every woman
at that point is trying to be with him,

every woman is trying
to have a baby for him, you know.

These are the things that come with fame.

[Innocent] Like, you know, for so long,

I-I…

I've been with the kids by myself.

And I just realized that, what?

This woman has been
a superwoman since, like…

There are some things
that they come up to me for

and I'm like, "What the f*ck?"

[in Pidgin] But you go to work,
come back, and still do everything.

[in English] This thing really
opened my eyes to so many things.

[chuckles softly]

[in Pidgin] I'm so happy
you're saying this.

-I didn't think you noticed me.
-[in English] I wanted to let you know.

[in Pidgin] Thank you.

Even though, plus all the stubbornness,
plus all the…

[in English] Inno, I can't.

[Innocent, in Pidgin]
…all the ways you've harassed me.

Sometimes, the harassment…

[in English] When I wake up
and I don't see anybody harassing me,

I now start feeling lonely.

-I say, "Ah, g*dd*mn it. g*dd*mn."
-Can you cut? Can they cut?

This human being has come here
to harass me again.

-Hey. Hey.
-I can't. Can they cut?

-[sniffles]
-[Innocent] Yo.

It's all right.

[in Pidgin] I'm sorry. You never tell me
you notice all those things.

[in English] It's all right. Relax.

-[Annie sniffles]
-Sorry.

Sorry.

-[Annie sniffles]
-[Innocent] To say that I love her is…

It's an understatement.

It's all right.

Relax.

-[crying] All those things…
-[in Pidgin] All those things are true.

[Innocent chuckles]

[in English] It's true.

-[Annie] I love you.
-[Innocent] It's okay.

It's okay, baby.

[Annie] Somehow I think deep down
in my heart I still feel like

Innocent don't really see the things,
how hard it is for me

to run my home, run my life.

-[Innocent, in Pidgin] Remember this.
-[romantic jazz music playing]

-[Annie laughing]
-It's officially been a ten-year run.

[Innocent, in English] I brought
the picture so she'll see…

Just take her down memory lane

and just make her
remember that fateful day.

-[Annie] What are you doing?
-[in Pidgin] Look at it.

[in English] That's us in Dubai,
on the beach.

-Remember our wedding vows?
-[Innocent laughing]

-I said, "I will."
-Like, you…

On that day, I… [chuckles]

The same thing, that's why I hate myself,
just always making… God.

-Baby.
-Yeah? [sniffles]

[in Pidgin] I would like us to continue…

[Annie, in English] What's that?

[magical music playing]

[in Pidgin] …for more
than another ten years.

Please.

[in English] I beg you.

-What?
-I beg you.

[emotional song playing]

[in Pidgin] Let's do another ten years.

[in English] Innocent, I'm doing forever.
What do you mean, ten years?

[in Pidgin] We'll count the years
step by step. [laughing]

Hm?

[Annie sniffles]

-[in English] Step by step.
-It's this hand.

Oh, now this hand?

[in Pidgin] Imagine, I've forgotten
what hand it goes on.

Hm?

If you ever get tired of me,
just let me know.

-I'm not tired of you.
-I'll never be tired of you.

-[Innocent] Mm.
-[Annie sniffling]

[Innocent, in English] I love you.

Love you.

[Annie] I'm gonna get married twice.

[in Pidgin] You'll still have me, right?

[Annie laughs emotionally]

[Annie] I'm one lucky woman.

Like, blessed, like…

Twice!

To the same man.

Yes.
