Lara remains in the prison, wailing and crying to be released but she was not. Her mother has been going to see her, bringing her food...)

LARA : Mum, what are you people doing about my case here? This place is terrible. Please tell Dad to tell Uncle Lekan what is going on. I'm sure he will tell Kurt to release me.
NIKE : I've done that myself. I've called him. I don't know what else to do.
LARA : those guys are lying against me. I don't know why I'm the only one here.
NIKE : are you saying the truth that it was that other boy?
LARA : yes Mum, that's the truth.
NIKE : but why are those criminals saying it was you?
LARA : I don't know Mum. Please you have to do something. I haven't bathed and I feel disgusted...
NIKE : you shouldn't have gotten involved with that boy in the first place.
LARA : I know Mum...




(While coming back from the governor’s place, Kurt receives a call from Amode...)

KURT : hello sir...
CALLER : I have spoken to Januri.
KURT : how is he sir?
CALLER : I think you should go and see him. That other boy is protecting their employer.
KURT : but why?
CALLER : because he thinks he can help them out...
KURT : I see..
CALLER : I believe if you go and speak to him or all of them, they will talk.
KURT : I will do that as soon as possible sir.
CALLER : alright.
KURT : thank you sir. I'll feed you back sir.
CALLER : okay...(hangs up)

KOLA : hmm...
STAN : alright. But don't forget we need to hook up and work on Andy's case.
KURT : okay...but for now I need to know Bukola is alright. Remember Ken is still out there?
STAN : alright.

BUKOLA : hey...what are you doing here?
KURT : hmm...do I need to have a case before I can come and see you?

After taking their orders....)

KURT : Bukola...
BUKOLA : hmm...
KURT : what's going on with you and Jordin?
BUKOLA : (smiles)....why did you ask?
KURT : you refused to say anything after you went to speak to him...you didn't tell me the decision you took or reached with him.
BUKOLA : that's because he left Nigeria without telling me.
KURT : what? Are you sure?
BUKOLA : yes...I called him this morning only to find out he left for the UK that very day we talked or may be the next...
KURT : but...(Changes his mind)....anyway, what's your conclusion with him?
BUKOLA : hmmm....
KURT : you're not saying anything...
BUKOLA : if I tell you we're still going steady what will you do?
KURT : (chuckles)....well, I won't give up...I'll keep believing something will happen....even if it’s a minute before you say "yes I do” to him.
BUKOLA : hmm mm...
KURT : yes.....but wait do you have to make me go through all this? Why don't you just leave that guy and be with me? After all you love me...or don't you?
BUKOLA : (smiles)....Jordin...broke the relationship...
KURT : (shocked)...huh? Are you kidding or....
BUKOLA : (cuts in)...no I'm not.
KURT : (stands up and walks up to her)...tell me I'm not dreaming...that this is real..
BUKOLA : it is...(Smiling)
KURT : so then....will you go out with me...(Looking at her in the eyes)....
BUKOLA : hey....I just got out of a relationship, so I should wait for some time before jumping into another, shouldn't I?
