0:00Oh my god, this cannot be happening.
0:01Richard, stop. My husband could walk in
0:03any moment.
0:04>> Your husband [music] is in his office
0:05until evening, Zara. Relax, we have
0:07time.
0:18>> 3 months.
0:203 months I have been cleaning this
0:22[music] house, minding my business, and
0:24now I am standing here knowing something
0:25that could destroy this entire family.
0:28If I say [music] anything, madam will
0:29deny it and have me thrown out before If
0:32I say nothing, I am helping her lie to a
0:33good [music] man who has never once
0:35raised his voice at me or treated me
0:36like less than a person. What kind of
0:38position is this for me to be in? Pull
0:39yourself together, Amara.
0:42Walk away. [music]
0:43Finish your work like you saw nothing.
0:46You did not see anything. You did not
0:48hear anything.
0:49Lord, please. Please don't let this be
0:52the day my whole world turns upside
0:53[music] down. I just need this job. I
0:55just need to keep my head down and
0:56survive this house until I save enough
0:58to go back to school.
1:00Please God, let this interview go well.
1:02Rent is due [music] in 2 weeks and I
1:03have exactly nothing left in my account
1:05to cover it.
1:06>> Amara Bello, the Coker family is ready
1:07for you [music] now.
1:09>> Your references are excellent, Amara. 5
1:11years with the Adeyemi family
1:12>> [music]
1:12>> and they only let you go because they
1:13relocated abroad. Is that correct?
1:15>> Yes, sir. That's correct. I managed the
1:16entire household. [music]
1:17>> Impressive. Please, tell me more.
1:18>> Cooking, cleaning, organizing their
1:21schedule when needed. I take a lot of
1:22pride in my work, sir. [music]
1:24>> Pride in your work is exactly what this
1:25household needs right now. Honestly,
1:26we've had three housekeepers in the past
1:28year alone. None of them lasted more
1:29than a few weeks.
1:30>> If I [music] may ask, sir, what happened
1:31with the others? I'd like to understand
1:33what I might be walking into.
1:35>> Let's just [music] say my wife can be
1:37particular about how things are run. It
1:39takes a certain kind of patience to work
1:41in our home, Amara.
1:43I need someone steady. Someone who won't
1:45be easily rattled. I'd like to offer you
1:47the position, Amara, starting [music]
1:48Monday if that works for you. The pay is
1:50generous and you'll have your own
1:51quarters on the property. I think you'll
1:53be exactly the steady presence [music]
1:54this house has been missing.
1:55>> Thank you so much, sir. I promise you
1:56will not this decision. I take my work
1:58very seriously [music] and I will make
2:00sure your home runs smoothly.
2:01>> Somehow, Amara, I believe you. Welcome
2:02to the family, even if it's a
2:03complicated one.
2:05>> This is bigger than I imagined.
2:07Five years with the Adeyemis and I never
2:08once worked in a house like this.
2:10>> You must be the new housekeeper. Madam
2:11has been expecting you, but I should
2:12warn you now, she does not like to be
2:13kept waiting for [music] anything.
2:14>> So, you're the new one.
2:16>> Let me make something very clear to you
2:18from day one, since the last three girls
2:19seem to [music] struggle with simple
2:20instructions.
2:22>> Yes, ma. I'm ready to learn however
2:23you'd like things run in this house.
2:25>> Good. Rule one, you do not enter my
2:27bedroom unless I specifically call for
2:28you, even to clean. Rule two, whatever
2:31you see or hear in this house stays in
2:33this [music] house. I do not tolerate
2:34gossip and I especially do not tolerate
2:36staff who think their opinion matters on
2:38matters that don't concern them.
2:40>> Understood completely, ma. I'm only here
2:41to work, nothing [music] more.
2:43>> See that it stays that way. The last
2:45girl thought she could comment on my
2:46schedule and my visitors. She did not
2:48last the week.
2:49>> [music]
2:50>> I see Madam already gave you the welcome
2:51speech. Don't worry, she gives that same
2:53speech to everyone, word for word, like
2:55she memorized [music] it from a script.
2:57>> Thank God it's not just me, then. She
2:59nearly had me thinking I had already
3:00failed before I even unpacked my bags.
3:02>> Listen, the trick to surviving in this
3:03house is simple. Do your work well, stay
3:05out [music] of Madam's business, and
3:07pray that Oga Solomon keeps being the
3:08reasonable one in this marriage, because
3:10trust me, you will need that
3:11reasonableness on the days Madam decides
3:12to be difficult.
3:13>> Noted. I plan on keeping my head down
3:14and my mouth shut. I need this job
3:15[music] too badly to cause any trouble.
3:17>> That's exactly what the last three said,
3:18too.
3:20Come, let me show you to your quarters
3:22before Madam finds another reason to
3:23complain.
3:27So, tell me, Amara, what's your story?
3:29Nobody takes a live-in housekeeping job
3:31in a house like this unless they're
3:32running from something or running
3:33towards something.
3:34>> Running towards something, I suppose.
3:36I'm saving to go [music] back to school.
3:38I want to finish my accounting degree. I
3:40had to stop 2 years ago when my mother
3:41got sick. That's accounting. [music]
3:43>> That's impressive, Amara. Most girls who
3:46end up in this line of work never had
3:47dreams like that, or they gave up on
3:49them a long time ago.
3:50>> I haven't given up, I just had to pause.
3:52My mother needed surgery, my younger
3:53brothers needed school [music] fees, and
3:55someone had to step up. I don't regret
3:56it. But I do intend to finish what I
3:59started. Even if it takes a few more
4:01years [music] than I planned. That's a
4:03good plan, and this is actually a good
4:04house to save money in, despite Madam's
4:06[music] attitude. Oga Solomon pays well
4:08and he's fair. Just stay away from
4:09getting too curious about what happens
4:10behind closed doors [music] in this
4:11place. Why do you keep hinting at
4:13things, Ngozi?
4:15Is there something I should know about
4:16this family before I get too comfortable
4:18here? It's nothing serious, Amara. Just
4:20small family [music] matters. Tell me.
4:22I'm not one to gossip, Amara, but I will
4:24say this much. Madam Zara entertains a
4:25certain gentleman quite often when Oga
4:27Solomon is at the office. A gentleman
4:29who is not her husband.
4:31The other girls noticed,
4:32>> [music]
4:32>> and the other girls did not last long
4:34after they noticed.
4:36Ngozi, are you saying what I think
4:37you're saying? Unofficially, I'm saying
4:39keep your eyes open, [music] keep your
4:40mouth closed, and whatever you do, never
4:42let Madam catch you noticing anything at
4:43all. That is the only rule that matters
4:45in this house if you want to keep your
4:46job. You missed a spot. Right there, by
4:49the edge of the sink. I can see a water
4:50stain from all the way across this
4:52kitchen. I'm sorry, Ma. I'll get it
4:54right away.
4:55Sorry doesn't clean my kitchen, Amara.
4:57Focus does. The agency tells me you
4:59worked for the [music] Adiemes for 5
5:00years. That's a long time for someone
5:02your age to stay in one place. I'm
5:04loyal, Ma. Once I commit to something, I
5:06see it through [music] to the end.
5:08Loyal. Interesting word choice. And what
5:10does loyalty mean to you, exactly?
5:11Because different people define it very
5:13[music] differently. To me, loyalty
5:14means doing my job well, staying in my
5:15lane, and not involving myself in
5:17matters that don't concern me, Ma.
5:18Good answer. That's a very good answer,
5:20Amara. I [music] hope you mean every
5:22word of it. I always mean what I say,
5:25Ma.
5:26We'll see about that. [music]
5:28This house has a way of testing people's
5:29loyalty in ways they never expect.
5:33>> Ah, you're settling in well, I see. How
5:35was your first day, Amara?
5:37>> Very well, sir.
5:37>> [music]
5:38>> This is a beautiful home. I'm grateful
5:39for the opportunity to be here.
5:41>> Good. Let me know if you need anything
5:43to get properly [music] settled in your
5:44quarters.
5:45>> She's perfectly fine, Solomon. She
5:46doesn't need you hovering.
5:48>> [music]
5:48>> Come, your dinner is almost ready and I
5:50need to talk to you about the Okonkwo
5:51dinner on Saturday.
5:52>> Good night, Amara.
5:53>> Good night, sir.
5:55>> Amara, has madam come down from upstairs
5:57yet?
5:58>> I believe she's still getting ready,
5:59sir. I can let her know dinner is served
6:00[music] if you'd like.
6:01>> No, don't bother. She'll come down when
6:03she's ready. She always does. How long
6:05have you been working here now, Amara?
6:072 weeks already?
6:08>> Almost 3 weeks, sir.
6:10>> 3 weeks. [music]
6:11And in those 3 weeks, have you settled
6:12in comfortably? No complaints?
6:15>> None at all, sir. This is a good home to
6:16work in.
6:17>> A good [music] home. Yes, it should be.
6:20>> Is there anything else I can get for you
6:22before I head back to the kitchen, sir?
6:25>> No, thank [music] you, Amara. That will
6:26be all.
6:30>> Sorry, I lost track [music] of time.
6:31Something came up.
6:32>> Dinner was at 8:00, Zara. It's almost
6:349:30.
6:36>> I said I lost track of time, Solomon.
6:37Must everything be a point of contention
6:38[music] with you?
6:39>> I'm not making it a contention.
6:41I'm simply pointing out that we agreed
6:43on dinner together at 8:00, and I sat
6:45here alone for [music] over an hour.
6:46>> You could have started without me. You
6:47clearly did anyway.
6:49>> Yes.
6:50I suppose I've been doing a lot of
6:51things alone lately.
6:53>> Lord, this man doesn't even know the
6:55half of what is happening in his own
6:57house. [music]
6:58>> You have that look on your face again,
6:59Amara. The one you've been wearing every
7:00evening since your first week here. What
7:02is it now?
7:03>> Is it that obvious? I've been trying to
7:04keep a straight face all day. [music]
7:05>> To madam Anuga, maybe. But I know you
7:07already, and something is eating at you.
7:09Talk.
7:09>> Ngozi, I sat in that dining room tonight
7:11and watched that woman [music] walk in
7:12an hour and a half late for dinner
7:13without a single apology that meant
7:15anything.
7:16>> Meanwhile, that man sat alone at that
7:17long table eating by himself [music]
7:18like he was a stranger in his own home.
7:19>> Welcome to every Tuesday and Thursday in
7:21this house, Amara. Sometimes Friday,
7:23too.
7:24>> How does she do it?
7:25>> How does she sit across from him and
7:26look him in the eye knowing what she's
7:28[music] doing behind his back?
7:29>> Cuz women like madam Zara have been
7:30doing it so long, they don't even flinch
7:32anymore.
7:33>> She's been living [music] this double
7:34life long before you and I arrived in
7:36this house. And Nuga Solomon genuinely
7:38has no idea.
7:39>> You can see it on his face, [music]
7:40Ngozi.
7:41>> He's a man who still believes in his
7:42marriage even when it's falling apart
7:43right in front of him. That's the
7:45saddest part of it all. He works himself
7:47into the ground every single day
7:48building a life for a woman who is
7:50[music] somewhere else giving her heart
7:51to another man entirely.
7:53Now, listen to me very carefully, Amara,
7:54because I'm only going to say this once.
7:56Whatever you feel about what is
7:57happening in this house, whatever
7:58[music] sympathy you have for Oga
8:00Solomon, you lock it away and you throw
8:01away the key. Do you hear me?
8:03>> I hear you, Ngozi.
8:04>> I'm serious. [music] I've watched two
8:06girls before you make the mistake of
8:07getting emotionally involved in the
8:08business of these people and [music]
8:10both of them left this house in tears
8:11with nothing to show for it. This is not
8:13your marriage. This is [music] not your
8:15problem. And Oga Solomon is not your
8:17responsibility.
8:18>> I know [music] that, Ngozi. I know it
8:20very well.
8:21>> Good. Then act like it. Keep your
8:24feelings in the kitchen and leave them
8:26there when you go to work in that house
8:27every morning.
8:28>> You're right. You're [music] absolutely
8:30right.
8:31I'm sorry to disturb you, sir. I noticed
8:33your light was still on and I thought
8:35you might need something warm before
8:36[music] bed.
8:37>> Amara, it's past midnight. You should be
8:38resting.
8:39>> I'm still up, sir. May I come in?
8:42>> You didn't have to do this, Amara. This
8:43isn't part of your [music] job
8:44description.
8:45>> It's no trouble, sir. I know, sir.
8:48But it didn't feel right leaving without
8:49checking on you. You've been in here
8:51since after dinner and you haven't eaten
8:52anything since the table was cleared.
8:54>> [music]
8:54>> You noticed that?
8:55>> It's my job to notice things in this
8:57house, sir. I also brought some biscuits
8:59in case [music] you need something small
9:00to hold you.
9:01>> Thank you, Amara. Truly, that was very
9:03thoughtful of you.
9:04>> You work very hard, sir. Someone should
9:06look out [music] for you.
9:07>> Can I ask you something, Amara? And I
9:09need you to be honest with me, not
9:11careful, not diplomatic, just honest.
9:14>> Of course, sir.
9:15>> In the weeks you've been here working in
9:17this house, [music] being around both of
9:18us, do you think this looks like a happy
9:20home to you from the outside looking in?
9:22>> Sir, I think this is a very beautiful
9:24home.
9:25And I think you are a man who is trying
9:27[music] very hard to keep it that way.
9:29>> That's a very careful answer, Amara.
9:32>> You asked for honesty, sir. Sometimes
9:34honesty [music] lives in what isn't
9:35said.
9:35>> Good night, Amara, and thank you for the
9:37tea and for everything else. [music]
9:39>> Good night, sir. Please don't stay too
9:40late.
9:42>> You worry too much, Zara.
9:43Solomon won't be back until 6:00 at the
9:45earliest. You know his schedule better
9:46than anyone.
9:47>> [music]
9:47>> And yet here I am still checking the
9:49door every 5 minutes like a nervous
9:50school girl. No.
9:52No, not today. [music]
9:54Not when I was starting to convince
9:55myself I had misread everything.
9:57Walk away, Amara. Turn around right now
9:59and walk [music] back down those stairs
10:01and pretend you came up here for
10:02nothing. You do not need to hear this.
10:04You do not [music] need to
10:05>> Then let me take care of you.
10:07I've told you a thousand times I have
10:08enough for both of us. [music]
10:10>> And I've told you a thousand times that
10:11I need to do this on my own terms, in my
10:13own time. Just be patient with me,
10:14Richard, please.
10:168 months. [music]
10:17This has been going on for 8 months.
10:20And that man downstairs has no idea. You
10:22heard nothing, [music] Amara. Nothing at
10:24all. You came upstairs for towels, you
10:26realized you had the wrong ones, and you
10:28turned back around. That is the story.
10:30That is the only story.
10:32Lord, give me the wisdom to [music] know
10:34what to do with what I just heard.
10:37Because right now I have no idea.
10:41>> Amara. Amara, I've been calling you from
10:43the pantry for 5 minutes. What is wrong
10:45[music] with you? Why are you standing
10:46there like that?
10:46>> I heard them, Ngozi. I heard them today.
10:48Upstairs, in that bedroom, clear as day.
10:51[music]
10:51>> How much did you hear?
10:52>> Enough, Ngozi. I heard enough to know
10:54this has been going on for 8 months. 8
10:56whole months. And from what I heard,
10:57that man, Richard, he's been pressuring
10:59her to leave Solomon entirely.
11:018 months. So it started even before I
11:03came to work here [music] then. And do
11:04you know what broke my heart the most?
11:06She's not planning to leave because she
11:08loves Solomon or because she feels any
11:09guilt at all. She's staying because she
11:11wants to secure the finances first.
11:13She's calculating, Ngozi. She's been
11:15sitting across from that man at dinner,
11:16sleeping under his roof, spending his
11:18money, [music] while planning her exit
11:19on her own terms. That's Madam Zara for
11:21you.
11:22Nothing that woman does is accidental or
11:24emotional. Everything [music] is
11:25calculated, even who she hurts and when
11:27she hurts them. How can I look Oga
11:29Solomon in the face tonight at dinner
11:31knowing all of this?
11:32How do I serve his food and pour his
11:34water and smile [music] like I know
11:35nothing? Listen to me very carefully.
11:38You're going to walk into that dining
11:39room tonight [music] and you're going to
11:41serve that food and pour that water and
11:42you're going to smile just like you have
11:44been doing every other night. Because
11:45the moment madam suspects you know
11:47anything, [music]
11:48your life in this house becomes a
11:49nightmare that ends very badly for you
11:51and only you. But Ngozi, he deserves to
11:53know. That man is a good person. [music]
11:55He works himself to exhaustion for a
11:58woman who is laughing with another man
11:59in his own bedroom.
12:01And what happens when you tell him? He
12:03either doesn't believe you and madam has
12:04you thrown out
12:05>> [music]
12:05>> or he does believe you and the entire
12:07household explodes and you still end up
12:08with nothing. Either way, you lose. So
12:10I'm supposed to just carry this secret
12:11around in my chest every single day like
12:12it weighs nothing. Welcome to working in
12:14a house like this one, my sister.
12:16The secrets are always heavier than the
12:18furniture [music] and nobody pays you
12:20extra to carry them. I Amara, I need you
12:22to do something for [music] me and I
12:24need it done without any questions. Of
12:26course, ma. What do you need? I'm
12:28expecting a visitor this afternoon while
12:30Mr. Solomon is at the office. A male
12:32friend.
12:33I need you to make sure Ngozi [music]
12:34stays in the kitchen and doesn't come
12:36upstairs for any reason whatsoever. Of
12:38course, ma.
12:39>> [music]
12:39>> I'll let Ngozi know to stay in the
12:40kitchen. And you as well. Once you've
12:42let him in at the door, I need you to
12:44make yourself scarce. No hovering, no
12:46unnecessary trips upstairs, [music] no
12:47cleaning that conveniently brings you
12:48near my bedroom. Completely clear, ma.
12:51You're a smart girl, Amara, I can tell.
12:53Smart girls understand that the most
12:54valuable [music] thing in a household
12:55like this one is discretion. I reward
12:57loyalty very well. Do you understand
12:59what I'm saying to you? I understand
13:01perfectly, ma. Good. Make sure the guest
13:04room is prepared [music] as well. Fresh
13:05towels and flowers on the table. She
13:07asked you to prepare the guest room with
13:08fresh flowers? Amara, that woman has
13:10absolutely no [music] shame whatsoever.
13:12Keep your voice down, Ngozi. She also
13:14said she rewards loyalty well. I think
13:16that was her way of telling me she knows
13:17I know something.
13:19And she's testing [music] whether I can
13:20be trusted to stay quiet. Or she's
13:22trying to make you complicit. If you
13:23prepare that room and say nothing, you
13:24become part of the lie by
13:25>> [music]
13:26>> And if I refuse, I lose this job today
13:28and everything I've been saving for
13:30disappears overnight.
13:31>> [sighs]
13:31>> There is no good choice in this [music]
13:33house, Amara.
13:35>> Good afternoon. I believe Madam Zara is
13:38expecting me.
13:39>> Yes, sir. Please come in.
13:41>> [music]
13:41>> I'll let her know you're here.
13:43>> You must be the new housekeeper, Amara,
13:45isn't it? Zara mentioned you.
13:46>> Yes, sir. [music] Amara, it's a pleasure
13:48to meet you.
13:49>> Welcome. I trust you'll be comfortable
13:51here.
13:51>> Thank you, sir. [music]
13:52>> She said good things about you, for the
13:54record. Said you were the first
13:56housekeeper who actually knew how to
13:57mind her own business.
13:58>> [music]
13:58>> High praise from Zara, trust me.
14:00>> I'm only here to do my job, sir.
14:02>> Yes,
14:04and you do it well, I'm sure.
14:06A girl who knows her [music] place in a
14:07house like this always does well for
14:09herself.
14:09>> Thank you, sir. Can I get [music] you
14:11anything while you wait, sir?
14:13>> No need. I know my way around.
14:17>> Richard, you're early.
14:19>> You know I can't [music] make you wait.
14:21>> That will be all, Amara. Put those
14:22flowers in the guest room and then take
14:24the rest of the afternoon off. I won't
14:25be needing anything. She's fine.
14:27She knows how to [music] be invisible
14:29when it matters.
14:30>> Are you sure about that? She has very
14:32sharp eyes for a housekeeper.
14:34>> She needs this [music] job too much to
14:35be a problem. People who need things
14:37don't make trouble, Richard.
14:40>> She's wrong about that, Ma.
14:42People who need things and have nothing
14:44to lose are the most dangerous kind of
14:46problem you can make.
14:49I just made [music] this bed for another
14:51man to share with someone else's wife.
14:53In her husband's house.
14:55Using her husband's [music] money to buy
14:57the flowers sitting on that table.
14:59My mother always said that the worst
15:01[music] kind of sin is not the one you
15:02commit yourself, but the one you allow
15:04to happen when you had the power to stop
15:06it. Is that what I'm doing right now? Am
15:08I allowing this? But what is my power
15:10here, [music] really? I'm a housekeeper.
15:11I have no family name, no lawyer, no
15:13savings yet. If I open my mouth, Madam
15:15Zara will have me out of this house
15:16before Oga Solomon even finishes hearing
15:17the sentence. She already told me as
15:19much without saying it directly.
15:21And yet every time I look at that man,
15:23time I watch him come home [music] tired
15:24and pour everything he has into a
15:26marriage that is hollow on the inside, I
15:27feel something tearing in my chest that
15:29I cannot explain away no matter how hard
15:30I try.
15:31>> [music]
15:31>> Stop it, Amara. Stop feeling things you
15:33have no right to feel. Solomon Koka is
15:35your employer. He is married. He is not
15:37your problem and he is certainly not
15:38your business beyond what happens in
15:39this kitchen and in these hallways.
15:40[music]
15:41You came here to save money and finish
15:42your degree. That is the only reason you
15:44are standing in this house. Everything
15:45else, the secrets, the lies, the way he
15:47smiles when you bring him tea at
15:48midnight, none of it has anything to do
15:50with why you are here.
15:52So, why does [music] it feel like
15:54it has everything to do with why I'm
15:56still here?
15:58>> Zara,
16:00I finished early today. [music] The 3:00
16:01meeting was canceled. Zara, are you
16:03home?
16:03>> Sir,
16:04sir, welcome back. I didn't know you'd
16:06be returning this early.
16:08>> Amara, are you all right?
16:09You look like you've seen a ghost.
16:11>> I'm fine, sir. [music] I was just
16:12surprised, that's all. I wasn't
16:13expecting you back until evening.
16:15>> Meeting canceled. Where's Zara? Her car
16:17is outside, so she should be home.
16:19>> Madam is upstairs, sir. She mentioned
16:20she was resting and asked not to [music]
16:21be disturbed. Perhaps I could let her
16:23know you're home and she can come down
16:24when she's ready.
16:25>> Resting?
16:26At 3:00 in the afternoon? [music] That's
16:27unlike her.
16:28>> She did seem tired this morning, sir.
16:30Can I get you something while you wait?
16:32I just made fresh juice.
16:33>> You seem nervous today, Amara, more than
16:35usual.
16:36>> Just a busy [music] afternoon, sir.
16:38I was doing deep cleaning upstairs and I
16:40think I tired myself out a little.
16:42>> You work too hard.
16:44I've noticed [music] that about you. You
16:45never stop moving in this house.
16:47>> I just don't like leaving things
16:48unfinished, sir.
16:49>> Neither do I, Amara. Neither do I.
16:52>> Sir, let me go and inform madam that
16:54you're home. I'll tell her you're
16:55waiting.
17:00You need to leave right [music] now.
17:02Solomon just came home early. He's
17:04downstairs right now.
17:05>> What?
17:05>> You have to go. Now. Use the back
17:08staircase, through the kitchen, and out
17:09the side gate.
17:10>> And if someone sees me?
17:11>> Nobody will see you if you move [music]
17:13fast enough.
17:14Amara, take him downstairs through the
17:16back. Make sure Ngozi doesn't see and
17:18get him out through the garden.
17:21>> You're very calm for someone in the
17:22middle of all this. Most girls would be
17:25panicking right now.
17:26>> I'm not panicking because panicking
17:27doesn't help anyone, sir. I'm simply
17:29doing what [music] I was asked to do.
17:31>> And are you always this obedient or is
17:33this a special occasion?
17:34>> With respect, sir, please [music] don't
17:35mistake my professionalism for
17:36blindness. I know exactly what is
17:38happening in this house. I know exactly
17:39what I'm helping right now. And I want
17:41you to know that I'm not doing this for
17:42you or [music] for madam. I'm doing this
17:43because there is a good man sitting in
17:44that living room who doesn't deserve to
17:45have his life turned upside down today
17:46without warning.
17:47>> You're not just [music] a housekeeper,
17:48are you?
17:49>> The gate is straight ahead, sir.
17:52Please don't come back to this house.
17:57You're home early. Why didn't you call
17:58ahead? I would have made sure your
17:59dinner [music] was started.
18:01>> My meeting was canceled. I thought you'd
18:02be happy to see me.
18:03>> Of course I'm happy to see you. I'm
18:04always happy to see you, Solomon. I was
18:05just resting, that's all.
18:06>> You look flushed. Are you feeling all
18:08right?
18:09>> [music]
18:09>> I told you I was sleeping. You always
18:11look a little flushed when you wake up
18:13suddenly.
18:14>> Amara said you asked [music] not to be
18:15disturbed.
18:16>> I had a headache this morning and I just
18:18needed some quiet. Is that a crime now,
18:20[music] Solomon?
18:21>> No.
18:22Of course not. I just thought we could
18:23spend the afternoon together since I
18:24finished early for once.
18:26>> That's actually a nice idea.
18:28Why don't you get changed [music] and
18:29I'll ask Amara to make us some tea on
18:30the terrace.
18:31>> Thank you for earlier, Amara.
18:33>> Amara, the terrace, [music] please. Tea
18:35for two. Amara, when you're done with
18:37that, I need you to reorganize the
18:38entire linen cupboard upstairs this
18:40evening. [music] All of it, top to
18:41bottom.
18:42>> Of course, ma.
18:43>> That's a big job for one evening, Zara.
18:45Can't it wait until tomorrow?
18:46>> I've [music] been meaning to have it
18:47done for weeks. No time like the
18:49present.
18:50>> Actually, Amara, sit down for [music] a
18:51moment. Join us for tea.
18:52>> Solomon, she has work to do.
18:54>> The work can wait 5 minutes, Zara. She's
18:56been on her feet since morning.
18:58>> Thank you, sir, but I'm perfectly fine.
19:00I still [music] have the kitchen to
19:01finish before dinner.
19:02>> Amara, I insist. 5 minutes.
19:04>> By all means, sit.
19:06>> Yes, ma'am. [music]
19:07>> Close the door, Amara.
19:09>> Ma?
19:10>> I said close the door.
19:12What I have to say to you is not [music]
19:14for the hallway. I've been watching you,
19:16Amara, very carefully.
19:18Since the day [music] you arrived in
19:19this house, I've been watching the way
19:20you move, the way you listen, the way
19:21your eyes take in more than they should
19:23for a housekeeper. I'm only doing my
19:24job, Ma. I did what any professional
19:26[music] would do in that situation, Ma.
19:28No, you did what a very smart woman
19:30would do. There's a difference, and
19:31smart women deserve to be rewarded for
19:33their intelligence. [music] And today,
19:34you did your job extremely well, better
19:36than I expected, actually. You kept your
19:38head, you managed a very difficult
19:39situation without falling apart, and
19:40most importantly, you kept your mouth
19:42shut. [music] There is enough in that
19:43envelope to cover 3 months of whatever
19:45you're saving for.
19:46Think of it as a bonus for exceptional
19:48[music] service. And what exactly is
19:49this bonus for, Ma? Because I would like
19:51to be very clear about what I'm
19:52accepting. [music] It's for your
19:53discretion.
19:54For being the kind of woman who
19:55understands that what happens in a home
19:57stays [music] in that home.
19:58For being the kind of woman who values
20:00her position and her future more than
20:01other people's business.
20:03So, you want to pay me to stay silent
20:06about what I know.
20:07I want to compensate you for being
20:08professional. Call it whatever makes you
20:10comfortable. But I want you to
20:12understand something. I'm not taking it
20:14because I'm afraid of you, and I'm
20:15[music] not taking it because you've
20:16bought my silence. I'm taking it because
20:18I need it. And the day I decide I don't
20:20need it anymore,
20:22no amount of money in any [music]
20:24envelope will keep me quiet about what I
20:26know is happening in this house. That
20:28almost [music] sounded like a threat,
20:29Amara.
20:31It almost was one, Ma. Good night.
20:34Amara, what is that?
20:36>> [music]
20:36>> Madam Zara came to me tonight in the
20:37linen cupboard, alone. And she gave me
20:40this.
20:41She gave you money? How much money? I
20:43haven't counted it yet.
20:45I've just been sitting [music] here
20:46holding it for the past 20 minutes
20:48trying to decide how I feel about what I
20:49did. Amara, this is 300,000 naira. I
20:53know.
20:55300,000 naira just to keep your mouth
20:56shut about what you already knew. Amara,
20:58that woman is scared of you. She should
21:00be.
21:02But that's not what's keeping me up
21:03tonight, Nungoozie. Then what is?
21:05Because from where I'm sitting, [music]
21:06you just received a life-changing amount
21:07of money for something you were already
21:09doing for free. I told her something
21:10before I left. I told her that the day I
21:12decide I don't need the money anymore,
21:13no amount in any envelope will keep me
21:14quiet. And I meant every single word of
21:16it, Ngozi. The moment I have enough
21:17saved, I'm telling [music] Solomon
21:18everything. I don't care what it cost
21:19me.
21:19>> Amara, listen to me. I need you to think
21:21very carefully about what you just said.
21:23Because you are talking about blowing up
21:24a marriage, a household, and your own
21:26career in one move. Are you sure this is
21:29what you want? [music]
21:29>> I'm sure of what I don't want. I don't
21:31want to be the woman who stood in the
21:32shadows while a good man was destroyed
21:34by someone who was supposed to love him.
21:36I don't want to look at myself in the
21:37mirror years from now knowing I took
21:38[music] money to look the other way.
21:39>> And what about your feelings for him?
21:41Because I've been watching you, Amara,
21:42and I'm not blind. This isn't just about
21:43justice for you anymore, [music] is it?
21:45>> It can't be anything else, Ngozi. He's a
21:46married man. Whatever I feel doesn't
21:48matter, and it never will.
21:49>> The heart doesn't listen to logic, my
21:50sister. [music] God knows I wish it did.
21:53Just promise me you'll be careful. Not
21:54just with him, with yourself.
21:56>> I'm trying, Ngozi. I promise you I'm
21:58trying. Sir, it's past [music] 10:00
22:00again. I thought you might need
22:01something.
22:03>> You don't have to keep doing this,
22:04[music] Amara.
22:05>> I know I don't have to, sir. That's why
22:07I do it.
22:08>> Amara, can I ask you something that has
22:10[music] nothing to do with this house or
22:12this job?
22:13>> Of course, sir.
22:14>> Do you think it's possible for two
22:15people to live in the same house [music]
22:16>> I think it's possible, sir. I think it
22:18happens more often than people admit out
22:20loud.
22:21>> And when that happens, [music] whose
22:22fault is it? Is it the person who
22:23stopped trying or the person who never
22:25noticed that the other one had?
22:26>> Sometimes it's nobody's [music] fault,
22:27sir.
22:28Sometimes two people are simply better
22:30strangers than they are partners, and
22:32the bravest thing they can do is admit
22:33it to themselves before it destroys
22:34[music] them both.
22:35>> I built this house from nothing, you
22:36know. Every brick, every piece of
22:38furniture, every room in this building I
22:40designed with her in mind.
22:42I thought if I built her the right home,
22:43everything else would fall [music] into
22:44place eventually.
22:45>> A house isn't a marriage, sir.
22:47You can build the most beautiful home in
22:49the world, and it still won't [music]
22:50fill the spaces that only honesty and
22:52love are supposed to fill.
22:53>> That's a very wise thing to say for
22:54someone your age.
22:55>> My mother used to say it. [music] She
22:57said a house holds furniture, but a home
22:59holds truth.
23:00>> The moment the truth leaves, everything
23:01else is just decoration.
23:02>> [music]
23:03>> Your mother sounds like she was a
23:04remarkable woman.
23:05>> She was the best person I've ever known.
23:08>> Thank you for the [music] tea, Amara,
23:09and for the conversation.
23:11>> Good night, sir. Please don't stay too
23:12late.
23:13>> Good night, Amara.
23:15>> You were in the study again until late.
23:17What are you working on that can't wait
23:18until morning?
23:19>> Zara, can we talk tonight? [music]
23:20Really talk, not just fill up the
23:22silence with small things.
23:23>> About what, Solomon?
23:24>> About us, Zara. About this marriage.
23:27About the fact that we've been [music]
23:28living side by side for the past year
23:29like polite housemates instead of
23:31husband and wife.
23:31>> Solomon, it's late. This isn't the time
23:33for
23:34>> When is the time, Zara? Because I've
23:36been trying to find the right [music]
23:36moment for months, and somehow it never
23:38seems to come. You're always tired or
23:39busy or on your phone or somewhere I
23:41can't
23:41>> You're being dramatic, Solomon. All
23:43marriages go through quiet phases. It
23:44doesn't [music] mean anything is wrong.
23:45>> A quiet phase is a week, maybe a month.
23:47This has been a year, Zara. An entire
23:48year of dinners where we run out of
23:49things to say before [music] the first
23:50course is finished.
23:51>> Solomon, I love you. You know that.
23:53Sometimes life just gets busy and
23:55couples drift a little. It doesn't mean
23:56we're broken.
23:57>> Do you still want this? Honestly, Zara,
23:59do you still want [music] us?
24:01>> Of course I do. What kind of question is
24:03that?
24:04>> Then let's do something this weekend.
24:06Just the two of us, away from this
24:07house, away from work.
24:09Like we used to.
24:10>> [music]
24:10>> That sounds lovely. I'll look forward to
24:12it.
24:12>> Good. Me, too.
24:15>> Good night, Solomon.
24:16>> Good night, Zara.
24:18You're up early.
24:20>> You're leaving [music] early, sir.
24:21Breakfast won't be ready for another 20
24:23minutes.
24:23>> I have a 7:00 a.m. call I forgot to
24:25mention last night. Don't worry about
24:26breakfast. I'll grab something [music]
24:27on the way.
24:27>> You can't drive to a 7:00 a.m. call on
24:29an empty stomach, sir. Here, at least
24:31take this with you.
24:32>> You didn't have to do that.
24:34>> I know, sir. You say that every time.
24:36>> And you do it every time anyway.
24:39>> Someone has to make sure you eat
24:40properly, sir.
24:41You work too hard to run [music] on
24:43empty.
24:43>> Amara.
24:44>> Sir?
24:45>> Thank you.
24:47For everything [music] you do in this
24:48house. I'm not sure I say that enough.
24:50>> You say it more than you think, sir. You
24:51just don't always use words.
24:53>> I'll be home by 6:00 today. No canceled
24:55[music] meetings to change that.
24:56>> Dinner will be ready by 6:30 then, sir.
24:59>> Save me a seat [music] by the window.
25:00It's where I think best.
25:02>> I always do, sir.
25:03>> Goodbye, Amara.
25:04>> Goodbye, sir. Drive safe.
25:07Amara, you are in serious trouble. The
25:09kind of trouble no amount of sensible
25:10talking [music] to yourself is going to
25:11fix. Richard, I told you not to call me
25:14on this line during the [music] day.
25:16Solomon could walk in at any moment. No,
25:18Richard, I haven't forgotten what we
25:19talked about. I just need more time.
25:21Solomon has been more attentive [music]
25:22lately and I can't afford for him to get
25:23suspicious right now. Because timing
25:25matters, Richard. The accounts, Richard.
25:26[music] I need access to the joint
25:28accounts before any of this moves
25:29forward. Solomon has been talking to his
25:30lawyer about restructuring things and I
25:32need to make sure I'm protected before
25:33that happens.
25:34>> [music]
25:34>> How long have you been standing there?
25:36I just walked in, Ma. I came [music] to
25:38change the flowers on the side table.
25:41Just walked in? Yes, Ma. Shall I come
25:43back later?
25:44Amara, you and I have an understanding,
25:45a [music] financial understanding that
25:46I've honored very generously. I hope you
25:48remember that understanding extends to
25:49everything that happens in this house,
25:51everything you see, everything you hear,
25:52even things you just walked in on.
25:53[music] I remember our understanding
25:55very clearly, Ma.
25:56Good. Change the flowers and leave the
25:58room.
25:59Yes, Ma.
26:02Three weeks. [music] She said three
26:03weeks, which means in three weeks she
26:05plans to drain those accounts and walk
26:06out of this man's life. And she thinks
26:08I'm going to stand here and let that
26:09happen. Gozi,
26:11I need [music] you to listen to me very
26:13carefully and I need you to not panic
26:15while I tell you what I just heard.
26:17Amara, why are you whispering?
26:20Where are you? I'm in the garden.
26:21[music]
26:22Madam just got off a phone call with
26:24Richard and I heard every single word of
26:25it, every word. [music] She's not just
26:27having an affair, Gozi. This was never
26:29just about love or feelings. She has
26:30been planning to drain the joint
26:31accounts before she leaves, before
26:33Solomon's lawyer restructures the
26:34finances. [music]
26:34She's been timing this entire thing,
26:36staying in this marriage just long
26:37enough to take what she can carry.
26:38Jesus.
26:40So, Richard isn't just a lover, he's an
26:41accomplice. Exactly. [music] And she
26:44gave herself three weeks. Three weeks,
26:46Gozi. After that, she walks out of here
26:47with Solomon's money and his dignity and
26:49leaves [music] him with nothing but an
26:50empty house and questions he doesn't
26:51even know to ask yet. Amara.
26:53This changes [music] everything. This is
26:54no longer just about an affair. This is
26:56fraud. This is theft.
26:58>> I know what it is.
26:59And I also know that I am done sitting
27:01on this [music] secret.
27:03Three weeks is all I have to figure out
27:04how to tell him without destroying my
27:06own life in the process. And the money
27:08she gave you? Amara, the moment you tell
27:10Solomon what you know, that money
27:11becomes evidence that she tried to buy
27:12your [music] silence.
27:13>> I know.
27:15And I kept every note in that envelope
27:17untouched, exactly as she handed it to
27:19me. I haven't spent a single naira of
27:21it.
27:22>> Smart girl. Very smart girl.
27:25>> The question isn't whether I tell him
27:26anymore.
27:28The question is [music] when and how and
27:31how I make sure he believes the maid
27:32over his own wife. [music]
27:34>> And how do you plan to do that?
27:37>> By making sure I have proof he cannot
27:38argue with. Not just my word.
27:42Something she cannot deny and he cannot
27:44unsee.
27:45>> I brought the fresh [music] towels for
27:46your bathroom, ma. And I also wanted to
27:48ask, would you like me to prepare
27:49anything special for this weekend's
27:50[music] dinner? Or did Solomon mention
27:51he wanted to plan something for the
27:52>> Solomon and his dinners. Fine, prepare
27:54whatever he usually likes. I'll be home.
27:56>> Of course, ma. He seems [music] very
27:57hopeful about this weekend. He was
27:59telling me last night how much he misses
28:00spending real time with you. It was
28:01quite touching, actually.
28:02>> You and Solomon talk quite a lot for a
28:04housekeeper and her employer.
28:05>> He talks, ma. I listen. It's part
28:07[music] of the job.
28:08>> And what exactly does he say to you
28:10during these late-night listening
28:11sessions, Amara?
28:12>> He talks about [music] this house
28:13mostly, ma. How much he put into
28:15building it, how much he wanted to feel
28:17like a real home.
28:18>> And you find [music] that interesting,
28:19do you? A married man talking about his
28:20home to his housekeeper?
28:22>> I find it sad, ma, if I'm being honest.
28:25>> Sad.
28:26A man who has worked that hard to give
28:28[music] someone everything they need and
28:30still goes to bed every night feeling
28:31like it isn't enough.
28:33Let me remind you of [music] something,
28:34Amara. You are the help. You clean the
28:36floors and you cook the meals and you
28:37bring the towels. What you are not is a
28:38commentator on my marriage or my
28:39husband's feelings or anything else that
28:41happens above your pay grade in this
28:42house. Are we clear?
28:43>> Crystal clear, ma.
28:45>> Good. Now, get out of my room.
28:52That's a very lonely kind of life, Ma.
28:55Don't you think?
28:56>> Sir, I need to speak with [music] you
28:57about something, something important.
28:59And I need you to hear me out completely
29:01before you say anything.
29:02>> Amara, what's wrong? You look like
29:03you've been carrying something very
29:04[music] heavy.
29:05>> I have been, sir.
29:08For longer than you know.
29:09>> [music]
29:09>> Sir, I want to start by saying that what
29:10I'm about to tell you is not something I
29:12take lightly. Knowing that once I say
29:13what I have to say, nothing in this
29:14house will ever be the same again.
29:16>> Amara, just [music] say it. Whatever it
29:17is.
29:18>> Madam Zara has been having an affair,
29:19sir. The man's name is Richard. It has
29:21been going on for at least 8 months,
29:22possibly longer. He has been coming to
29:23this house while you are at the office.
29:24I have seen them together.
29:26I have heard their conversations.
29:28And 2 weeks [music] ago, Madam gave me
29:30money to stay silent about what I knew.
29:33>> What did you just say to me?
29:35>> [music]
29:35>> This is the money she gave me, sir.
29:36Every note untouched, exactly as she
29:38handed it to me. And this is a recording
29:40of a conversation she had this afternoon
29:42about her plans to access his assets
29:43before your lawyer restructures the
29:44finances.
29:45>> How long have you known all of this?
29:48>> Long enough that [music] I should have
29:49told you sooner, sir.
29:51And I am deeply sorry for every day I
29:53waited.
29:54>> [music]
29:54>> I was afraid.
29:55And I was selfish. And a good man paid
29:58for it by living inside a lie he didn't
30:00even know was [music] there.
30:01>> Play it.
30:02>> Yes, sir.
30:03>> How long?
30:05>> 8 months at least, sir. Possibly longer.
30:07That is as far back as I was able to
30:09confirm from what I heard.
30:10>> 8 months?
30:11>> Yes, sir.
30:13>> 8 months of sitting across that dinner
30:15table from me.
30:168 months of telling me she loves [music]
30:17me when I asked. 8 months of lying in
30:20that bed every night.
30:21>> I'm sorry, sir. I am [music] so deeply
30:23sorry.
30:26>> Don't apologize.
30:28You're the only person in this house
30:29[music] who told me the truth.
30:31I built this house for her, Amara. I
30:32designed every room with her in mind. I
30:34turned [music] down opportunities that
30:35would have taken me away from here
30:36because she said she wanted stability,
30:37she wanted a home, she wanted roots. And
30:39the entire time she was planning how to
30:40leave it.
30:41>> The house was never the problem, sir.
30:43You were never the problem.
30:45>> No,
30:46I suppose I wasn't.
30:48>> What will you do, sir?
30:49>> Tonight, nothing. Tonight, I need to sit
30:51[music] with this. Tomorrow, I call my
30:53lawyer before she gets anywhere near
30:54those accounts. And after that, after
30:56that, I face my wife with everything she
30:58thought I'd never find out.
30:59>> And the recording, sir? And the
31:01envelope?
31:02>> Evidence. Every bit of it. She made sure
31:04[music] of that herself the moment she
31:06tried to buy your silence.
31:07>> Sir, for what it's worth, and I know it
31:09may not be worth very much right now, I
31:11truly believe you deserve better than
31:12this. From the very first day I walked
31:13[music] into this house, I could see
31:15that.
31:15>> more than you know, Amara. More than you
31:16know.
31:17>> You seem different tonight. [music]
31:19Did something happen at the office?
31:21>> Nothing at the office, no.
31:23It was actually a very productive day. I
31:25spoke to my lawyer this afternoon.
31:27>> About the restructuring?
31:29>> Among other things.
31:33Zara, can I ask you something [music]
31:35and get an honest answer?
31:36>> Of course.
31:37>> Are you happy? In this marriage, in this
31:39house, in this life we built together,
31:41are you genuinely happy?
31:42>> Solomon, we've [music] been through
31:43this. I told you.
31:45>> I know what you told me. I'm asking what
31:47is true.
31:48>> Why are you asking me this tonight?
31:50[music]
31:50You're being very strange, Solomon.
31:52>> Because I think this might be the last
31:54dinner we sit at this table together.
31:56And I wanted to give you one final
31:58opportunity to tell me the truth
31:59yourself [music] before it comes out
32:00another way.
32:03>> What is that?
32:04>> I think you know what it is, Zara.
32:07>> She [music] You told him?
32:09>> Yes, ma. I did.
32:10>> You ungrateful, treacherous little
32:13>> Don't. Don't you dare speak to her like
32:15that. Not in this house. Not tonight.
32:17>> [music]
32:17>> Solomon, whatever she told you, whatever
32:19she made you believe, she's a
32:20housekeeper with an agenda. You can't
32:22trust
32:24How?
32:25>> It doesn't matter how. What matters is
32:26that I know. All of it, Zara. The
32:28affair, the accounts, the [music]
32:30timeline, the money you gave her to stay
32:31quiet, all of it.
32:32>> Fine. You want the truth, Solomon? Then
32:35let's have it. [music] All of it. No
32:37more pretending on either side.
32:38>> By all means.
32:40>> This marriage stopped being real long
32:42before Richard came along, Solomon,
32:43[music] and you know that as well as I
32:44do. We were two people performing a life
32:46for everyone around us while feeling
32:48absolutely nothing [music] for each
32:49other behind closed doors.
32:50>> Speak for yourself, Zara.
32:52I felt plenty.
32:54I tried [music] for years to reach you,
32:56and you moved further away every single
32:57time I got close.
33:00>> Because you were suffocating me with a
33:01version of our life I never actually
33:02wanted. [music] The grand house, the
33:04dinner parties, the perfect couple image
33:05for your business associates. Did you
33:06ever once ask me what I wanted, Solomon?
33:07What I actually needed from this [music]
33:08marriage?
33:09>> Zara, I thought this was what we both
33:10wanted. I asked you constantly, Zara.
33:13The answer was always [music] fine.
33:14Everything was always fine.
33:16>> Because fine was easier than the truth.
33:19The truth was that I had been unhappy
33:20for 2 [music] years before Richard, and
33:22I'm not sorry for finding someone who
33:23actually made me feel something real.
33:25>> You could have told me you were unhappy.
33:28You could have asked for [music] a
33:29divorce like a decent human being
33:30instead of planning to rob me on your
33:32way out.
33:33>> And walk away from 8 years with nothing?
33:36Solomon, I gave [music] the best years
33:37of my life to this marriage. I deserve
33:39to leave with something substantial to
33:40show for it.
33:40>> You were going to take everything, Zara.
33:42Not something, everything.
33:43>> [music]
33:43>> And you were going to do it without a
33:44word, without a conversation, without
33:46the basic dignity of looking me in the
33:48eye first.
33:49>> Well, it seems your housekeeper saved
33:51you from that particular indignity.
33:51[music] Congratulations to her.
33:53>> My lawyer froze the joint accounts this
33:55afternoon, Zara. Before you sit across
33:57[music] from Richard tonight and tell
33:58him you're on schedule, you should know
34:00that particular plan is already
34:01finished.
34:02>> Solomon, you didn't. You can't do that.
34:05>> I already did.
34:06>> And the recording, the envelope, all of
34:08it goes to my legal team [music] first
34:09thing tomorrow morning.
34:10>> Whatever you think you're walking away
34:11with, Zara, think again.
34:13>> You. You did this. You came into this
34:16house, you smiled, [music] and you
34:17nodded, and you played the loyal little
34:18housekeeper, and the whole time you were
34:20building a case against me.
34:21>> I came into this house to do a job, Ma.
34:23You made me a witness. Everything after
34:25that was [music] your own doing.
34:27>> Zara.
34:28Your things will be packed and ready by
34:30tomorrow morning. I'd like you out of
34:31this [music] house by noon.
34:32>> You'll regret this, Solomon.
34:34>> The only thing I regret is not seeing it
34:36sooner.
34:37Eight years.
34:39Eight years and [music] it ends with a
34:40door closing on a Tuesday morning.
34:42>> Sir.
34:43>> I keep waiting to feel something
34:44dramatic, rage, devastation, [music]
34:46something enormous, but all I feel right
34:48now is tired, Amara, just completely
34:50tired.
34:51>> That's not emptiness, sir. That's what
34:53it feels like when [music] you've been
34:54carrying something too heavy for too
34:55long and you finally put it down.
34:57The relief and the exhaustion come
34:59together before anything else does.
35:01>> How do you always know [music] exactly
35:02what to say?
35:04>> I just say what's true, sir.
35:06It's the only thing I know [music] how
35:07to do.
35:10>> I owe you an apology.
35:11>> Sir?
35:13>> You came into this house
35:14and you saw things I was too blind or
35:16too afraid [music] to see myself.
35:18Carried a secret that wasn't yours to
35:19carry and you carried it at great
35:21personal risk.
35:22And I never once made it easy for you to
35:24come to me sooner.
35:25>> You didn't know there was anything to
35:26come to [music] you about, sir.
35:27>> No.
35:28But I knew something was wrong in this
35:29house. I could feel it every single day
35:31and I chose the comfortable [music] lie
35:32of hoping it would fix itself over
35:33asking the harder questions. That's on
35:34me.
35:35>> We both waited longer than we should
35:36have, sir, for different reasons.
35:38>> What are your reasons, [music] Amara?
35:40The real ones.
35:42>> I think you already know the answer to
35:44that, sir.
35:45>> And if I said I wasn't [music] sure I
35:46wanted you to keep calling me sir
35:48anymore?
35:49>> I would say that's a conversation for
35:50another day, when the dust has settled
35:52and you've [music] had time to breathe
35:53again, when you're sure.
35:54>> Then I'll wait, Amara.
35:56I've learned recently that some things
35:57are worth waiting for.
35:59>> So have I, sir. So have I.
