Previously on My Name is....
EMILY
I tried my lady, I really tried my very best not to question this decision but I can’t seem to find a reason why you trust a man like Omar with our lives
AISHA
I don’t trust Omar, I trust his hatred for me. He is right, the Khan will never kill me because I am pregnant with his child, so the best way to get rid of me is to help me with my escape
EPISODE 59
INT. AISHA’S GAZEBO- DAWN
Aisha walks through a thick fog into her gazebo where Omar and her inner circle are waiting for her.
Emily rushes to meet her on the way and whispers to her
EMILY
Did you take that tea again?
Aisha ignores her and walks past her to Omar
AISHA
You took your time getting back to us, I thought you backed out
OMAR
Formulating an escape is not that easy
NIMAH
I certainly don’t appreciate been called out in this cold
OMAR
Thick fog envelope Muyanku at this time of the year, we are enemies and we don’t want people to see us together
Aisha goes to sit on her mat and she rest her hands on her pillow
AISHA
So what do you have for me?
OMAR
You can leave through the lorry
AISHA
The lorry that brings foreign girls from outside?
OMAR
Yes, I can smuggle you into a lorry
EMILY
A lorry?
OMAR
Yes, it will contain all of you
AISHA
No it won’t, I am not just escaping with my ladies alone. I am taking all the foreign ladies in village along with me
OMAR
What?
AISHA
That is the plan, you either take it or leave it
Omar thinks for a few seconds
OMAR
I can make it work
NIMAH
You are okay with us taking all the foreign ladies away
OMAR
After you are all gone, we just have to replace all of you with new ones
AISHA
You know if I leave, the authorities will come looking for all of you
OMAR
Not if you are blindfolded throughout the journey back to your different places, that way you won’t know the way
AISHA
No way
OMAR
You either take it or there is no deal
EMILY
There is still a hitch in the plan… Muyanku only has two Lorries
NIMAH
There is more than two
AISHA
How many?
OMAR
Close to sixty
AISHA
What? Why haven’t I seen them?
OMAR
That is because they are scattered round Africa doing business. Some of them come back weeks after they leave Muyanku, some months
AISHA
What kind of business?
OMAR
Opium….that is our main business, Amira never told you
AISHA
No, all she did was give me the tea
OMAR
You take the tea, well it explains the reason why you are able to sleep two men at the same time. It is not strong any way
EMILY
And yet someone is addicted to it
Aisha ignores Emily
AISHA
It still won’t work, there is always one lorry in Muyanku, maybe two at most. It is still not a feasible plan
Aisha stands to leave
OMAR
The Lorries can still work if they all called back at once
EMILY
How?
OMAR
If something big happens, they can be called back
AISHA
Something big like what?
OMAR
The coronation of a new Khan or…
NIMAH
The death of one
Aisha looks shocked
AISHA
What?
EMILY
That way they can all come, it works my Lady
AISHA
Nobody is dying
OMAR
I don’t understand, you want to leave, don’t you?
AISHA
Yes but not at the cost of someone dying
OMAR
You didn’t think that an escape this big will not have collateral damage
AISHA
You want to kill your own Khan
OMAR
He is just a figure head, Abdul is the real Khan
AISHA
No we are not killing him
NIMAH
You hate the Khan, why are you against us killing him?
AISHA
I am not going to kill the father of my son
The ladies looks at Aisha in surprise
NIMAH
The father of your son, he raped you
AISHA
I am not going to tell my son in future that I killed his father
EMILY
Because he was a bad man
OMAR
A leader will succeed when she listens to her people, you should listen to them
AISHA
If I listened to them you won’t be here, find another way or how about we go with coronation of a new Khan
OMAR
By a new Khan, do you mean Abdul?
AISHA
Yes
Omar scoffs
OMAR
How many times am I going to say this, it is not going to work?
AISHA
If I persuade him more, it will
OMAR
Okay
EMILY
Okay? You are going to do as she says
OMAR
Yes as long as she lets me teach her ladies how to drive in case she changes her mind
AISHA
I am not going to change my mind
OMAR
I know but still give me the ladies the you can trust with your life, ladies don’t get jealous of each other (he looks at Toba and Kuami) ladies that won’t doubt you at the sight of trouble (he looks at Nimah) ladies that will stand by your side at every situation (he looks Emily) someone like Emily
EMILY
How do you know all this?
OMAR
I needed to know about the people I am getting in bed with, so I asked Alice
AISHA
Then you should talk to Emily, she knows them well
Emily walks toward Omar as Aisha turns to leave
EMILY
Since you are one of us now, I need your help with something
OMAR
I am not one of you
EMILY
But we are working together
AISHA
What do you need his help for?
EMILY
Just some help with the chores
Aisha nods and leave
Next on My Name is....
AISHA
I asked you all a question, what is happening here?
EMILY
Look at your son
AISHA
What?
EMILY
Look at your son well because you are not going to see him for sometime
