………..what kind of a woman are you?
EXT. STREET OF AN ESTATE- DAWN
(Rere comes out of her car to meet Roti who was resting on his car holding an envelope)
Rere: why did you call me here?
Roti: (stretch the envelope to her) this is what you need to convince the Ambassador (Rere collects the envelope and starts to open it) I won’t open that if I we…
Rere: (she opens it and shouts in disgust) what the hell!
Roti: (put his hand into his pocket and brings out a flash drive) this contains record of every phone call that the Ambassador ever made to her boys and video recordings of their encounters
Rere: (smiling) I like the director of the Cain’s boys already (wants to collect the flash drive but Roti withdraw his hands) what is it?
Roti: only use this if the pictures are not working
Rere: alright (he gives her the flash drive)
Roti: I called you here because I want you to catch the ambassador early. We are standing right in the front of her house (points to the house they are standing opposite) she will be out any minute now
Rere: (smiling) thank you (he opens his car door) where are you going?
Roti: the office
Rere: do you want to come with me to talk to the Ambassador
Roti: pass (he sits in his car) and Rere (Rere faces him) the Pam situation is taken care of
Rere: thank you (Roti closes his door and drives away. As he leaves, the gate of the Ambassador’s house opens. Rere walks to the front of the house and stands in the front of a moving car. The car slows down and the Ambassador comes down)
Tanya: (looking confuse) Ms Shapiro
Rere: (smiling) good morning Madam Ambassador
Tanya: why are you outside my house…..and this early?
Rere: I am here to talk about our problem
Tanya: I told that there is nothing I can do about that
Rere: (stretch the envelope to her) I hope this will change your mind
Tanya: (collects the envelope from her and checks the pictures. Her upset expression gives way for a shocked expression as she looks at Rere with fear) where…where did you get this?
Rere: where I got it is not the issue right now
Tanya: so now what, you want to threaten me into doing your bidding
Rere: let say this is catalyst that will make you do what is right
Tanya: what is right, should this come out, it will destroy my family and my reputation
Rere: it won’t come to that as long as you do what I ask
Tanya: (in a loud upset voice) you are willing to destroy my family to get what you want, what kind of a woman are you?
Rere: (scoff) what kind of a woman I am? (Laugh) I am the kind woman that likes to get things done, no matter what it takes and don’t you try to blame me for your dilemma because if you have done what I asked for when I asked you nicely, I won’t have to dig up dirt on you. So you going to have to choose between your moral duties to your country or to your family
Tanya: Nigerians are ban from entering Congo, there is no way I can get you into the country
Rere: then I say it is a good thing that I am an American citizen
Tanya: (surprise) you are?
Rere: I was adopted by American parent
Tanya: okay then, meet me at the airport 11 am sharp
Rere: thank you Madam Ambassador (she turns and leaves)
INT. DR. CONGO AIRPORT- EVENING
(At DR Congo, Rere and Tanya Dunbu walks into Congo Airport waiting room side by side until they walk out of the airport. Rere drags her luggage behind her when Tanya suddenly turns to her)
Tanya: can I have the picture now?
Rere: excuse me?
Tanya: I want the pictures you are threatening me with
Rere: aren’t you going to get me to see the president
Tanya: you said to get you into Congo and have done that (Rere gives her the envelope and Tanya opens it and checks inside) is this all, no extra copies
Rere: all the negatives are there, there are no extra copies
Tanya: good, please I don’t want to see your face again
Rere: don’t be so quick to get rid of me
Tanya: excuse me
Rere: (brings out the flash drive) this flash drive contain some nasty videos you don’t want anyone to see
Tanya: I did what you asked me and you are threatening me again
Rere: get me into the President’s office and you can have the flash drive
Tanya: the deal was to get you into Congo
Rere: yes, with pictures. I am making another deal with the flash drive
Tanya: I am not going to be your dog (she turns to walk away)
Rere: you got me into Congo, which is the hardest job to do in this situation. Getting me into the president’s office is a piece of cake (moves towards her) are you willing to let this get online, they are really nasty videos
Tanya: (with a frown) let go (They enter a car and leaves)
