Makutano Junction S02e13

Ah! Cheryl! I hope I can sell you something today. Do you know what day it is? - It is Friday. It's your wedding day! - I know... So what are you doing here? The wedding's in the afternoon, till then I'm here. Look at you! We've been looking for you everywhere? She's here because the wedding is in the afternoon and she wants to make sells till then. So when are you going to get ready for the ceremony? What is there to get ready? I told you I don't want any fuss. Than what are you going to get married in? I'll wear this. Once I brush my hair and wash my face. That will take about five minutes, until then, my store remains open. I know you wanted this low-key, but it is not possible. You have to go out in style! You don't want people thinking that market women have no style? Mama Mboga, I'm just so nervous! I don't want to be idle until the ceremony starts. Idle? You're not going to be idle. Sorting out your hair and finding you a dress will keep you more than occupied. Come on. - To the salon! Doesn't this flower look a little bit too high? It is OK. And the shoes? Don't you think I might trip when I'm walking down the isle? We'll be there to hold you. Do you have the rings? I thought you took them yesterday. You were supposed to pick them from town! Me? Nobody told me that! Give me the car keys. Oops, found them! You think you're the only one who can play practical jokes on people. You we're supposed to be hosting these children, not demanding money for them! For the last time, can I see the records for the parents whom you gave the orphans to? Absolutely not. We maintain confidentiality between the foster parents and the orphanage. You may well call it maintaining confidentiality, but in my book that means you don't want to cooperate with the law. You want to cover up! Isn't that the truth? Chief! I suggest you call the police. I don't want my name associated with this scandal. No, wait, wait, wait. Here. This book contains all the contacts. You have to believe me. I never knew that it was going be this bad. Mneshimiwa (Excellency) Mabuki... You know there is no way I can blemish your name intentionally. You know how much I respect you. Red, what time are you leaving? Right after the wedding. I'm taking a mat in the afternoon to the city. Can I come with you? Oh sweetie! Not this time. But I'll come back and visit. I promise. Now, run along to the church. Give this to PP and Maspeedy. Ok ? Go go go. Where will I get another sister like you? Don't worry, little sister. When I am this big musician, I'll come back for you and you will be my manager. Promise to write letters of all the places you go and people you meet. Every day. I promise. I'll, write to you every day. You have everything you need? - Yep. This is it. - I have something for you. Oh mom! A Bible... Always remember the Lord in everything that you do. Put it beside your bed and he will watch over you at night. Oh, mom... Be good. - I'll try. Cheryl! Hey. You're looking nice. You're always good with colours. Ever the artist, eh? Why don't you do me a favour and paint me something? Don't go there. I won't have you playing around with my hobby. This is coming from the bottom of my heart. I am sorry I didn't realise your talent before. Why don't you paint something for our apartment. Our? You and who? - You and I. You can't be serious. - I am serious. I'm moving out on my own, Well... with you. Did you fight with your father? Besides I won't have you playing around with me. - No, no, no. I'm moving out. And I want you by my side. Let me finish with Margaret. Can we talk at the wedding? - Fair enough. Stars are much better than palm trees. What are you talking about? - Your nails. Stars are so romantic! So what are you wearing today? Why is everyone so obsessed with what I'm wearing? Because... the bride has to look beautiful. Not this bride! I have no fancy dresses. I'm putting on this leso and that will have to do. Over my dead body! No friend of mine is getting married in her work clothes. I had this for myself, but Karis is not the mild kind so... Cheryl! I don't know how to thank you! It is beautiful! - You can only thank yourself. You've been a wonderful friend. Now, get up! We have to dress you up before you get late for your wedding. They went through the numbers you gave us and didn't find the families. Headquarters is sending someone on Monday to talk to both of you. I told you I'm innocent. I'm just a victim of circumstances. Did you get 150 thousands shillings worth of wheat for a boy called Kamau from a Mr Misonyango? Did you get a quarter acre plot in Makutano for a girl called Chabete from Mr and Mrs Chaledad? You asked me if I've received money, you didn't ask about the gifts. The land was for building a school, and the wheat was for sale so that I could buy bricks to build a school. Who made the decision on those developments? None of the trustees knew you were receiving anything from anyone. You're using our names to enrich yourself. I have no option but to keep you in custody. But I'm innocent! - That is for the gods to decide. I need to go to the toilet. You have been to the ladies' three times now in the last five minutes. Hey… have you seen this? Maybe it is Mr Matano calling off the wedding. To my sweetest sugar Small Sharon… Another one! Heh! Ebu read it for me? ‘In the Cool Blue Moon Our feelings nearer swoon, Now that Cupid’s arrow Has struck my bone marrow I feel your perfume And desire, I consume. Let us meet after the wedding at exactly 3pm at the milk bar Your love stricken admirer.” That doctor is a mad one! How does he make up such lovely poems? It is love, my dear. Makes people creative. And procreative. - Now you talk in rhyme! What a great gift! On your wedding others are falling in love! OK everybody, let's go, let's go! Is she not beautiful? Oh, love, strike me today! Strike me so that someone loves me. Weddings are such a waste of time, today you so high, tomorrow you're back to normal. You can't fall in love so fast as if love is the instant coffee! Your heart is cold, brother. - No, me just going in there to drink them beers men, and I'm not looking at any woman, no matter what sexy you think them is. What do you think about it, PP? About love, man? Calm down, Matano! In an hour you're going to have a wife! Is there a problem chief? - I’m afraid so. Washington is in custody and he can't make it to preside over your wedding. But the good news is that I've spoken to The District Officer and I'm here to represent him, so I will conduct the wedding. See you in five minutes, gentlemen. I think I better call this thing off. Everything is going wrong. Come on, you've always been so logical, why are you superstitious? Come on Matano, it's time to make an honest man of you. Come on in! I thought you'd be at the wedding. What's all this? The CDs I borrowed. - Keep them. What for? Memories of the good times we shared. Are you sure? - Yes. I'm sure. You're my first love. The only man I've ever known. I'll always remember you. And no matter what, I'll always love you. I'll always carry you wherever I go. Haha! You still have these? Yup. From the first letter you ever wrote to me to the last. Well, half of the one mom found. Why are you taking them? Cause I want to be able to see you, hear your voice and feel you, every time I read them. I will miss you. I'll miss you too. Now you don't even want to kiss me. - More than anything! But if we do, we'll never let each other go. I want you to be free. Is there anyone who has just cause as to why these two - Matano and Margaret, should not be joined together in holy matrimony? If so, raise your voice now, or forever remain silent! It is okay Margaret. You'll ask the third time when you're on honeymoon. No one is marrying Margaret, she is my wife! Margaret... who is this man? This is just a thief who wants to inherit what his brother left. Get that man out of here. The last time he came around the other chief chased him away. Margaret, you know too well, I have neither property nor land to offer for your medical bills, for many years to come. He's talking about your inheritance, you'll need it. I don't want any of it. - Think about your future. There is a decision to be made and it's only you who can make it, Margaret. You and me against the rest of the world? I want Matano! That man is a thief who wants to inherit his brother's wealth. Do you think you should go against the custom, simply because the chief is standing next to you? Your whole life will be very miserable! You are cursed, you are cursed! Let's pick up from where we left off. I, Matano, do solemnly swear to love you, Margaret, in sickness and in health, in poverty and in wealth, till death do us part. To Matano, the man who brought me life when I thought I had none, I will love you, in sickness and in health, in richness and in poverty, till death do us part. I now declare these two man and wife. Mr Matano, you may now kiss the bride. When I have my wedding, it won't be a simple thing like this. Mine has to be big. Big Sharon, big things. Weddings are just a waste of time, man! You know, today you're riding off in your Mercedes and tomorrow you got no soup for your house. Faraway grapes taste sour, man. If you had a girl, you'd be singing a different tune. Maybe he should shave off his hair and beard? No way! A rastaman can never shave off him dread! Wedding or no wedding! - You wait. When I do my wedding, Makutano will talk about it for twenty years! Of course we're going to talk about it for twenty years! Wait till Maspeedy marries you and you be running off to your honeymoon on that bicycle of his! Can I come in? - You're already in. You're alone? Apart from the patient in the next ward, yes. Did you like the wedding? Not as fancy as a city-man’s, eh? Well, I think the wedding was great, you know? It was like a scene out of one of those love poetry books! Yeah! So, do you have lots of them? What? Love poetry books? You know, I think that if I want to read poetry, I would rather write my own… Are you always this shy? Poetry is for shy people... Doctari? Just checking – do you have the list for the patient's prescription ready? Yeah, I have them. I'm sorry I forgot to pin them on your desk. Excuse me. See you at three. For the sitting room I think... gold and fire. For the bedroom think... ocean. Yeah, but ocean is good for the bathroom. Is it? Hello, Karis. - Hey, dad! Join us for a family drink. - Sure! I'll see you later! Cheryl! Where are you going? It's a family drink... - No, no, no. You're one of the family now. Isn't that so, Karis? Wow! What a beautiful dress you have on! Karis... Karis... A moment! Please come talk... Hey, ey! This is a family drink, no interruption. Go! - Karis... So, what is it this time? Chief... I beg you. You know I'm not in very good health. Just let me out of here and I swear I'll be here on Monday to see the investigators! I have nothing to run away from. The rule of the law must be applied with no favour. I know I may have done something wrong, but it was not intentional! If I were you, I'd pray that when we trace all the children, no harm will have come to them. Because then you'll face more criminal charges. Once I get out of here, I'll never do anything like this. Our Lord is a forgiving Lord! I'm sure he'll open the gates of this prison the same way he did for Paul and sailors, when they prayed. If you are truly repenting, let it be so. Otherwise so help you God. Oh Lord! I know I've sinned against you and against man, but I swear, if you get me out of this, I shall dedicate the rest of my life in serving you honestly, in whatever ministry you'll decide. Hear the cries of your repentant son! Did you see these? We're going to wed soon. Good luck. Tell me when you find a girl. Ooh, my girl... She's the most beautiful girl, not only in Makutano, but the whole world. When I look into her eyes, I can see the moon in a dark night. Excuse me, I'm a bit busy waiting for someone. It's me. You don't have to keep on waiting. Has the handsome doctor been here? ‘Just stay where you are, dear You love drives me mad, My feelings rave so bad, Wanting to touch you, when you're near' I thought it was the doctor writing me the poems. It's me. Let me be your love doctor! I love you Small Sharon… I love you! I'm glad everything went well. Me too. I'm glad the wedding was a success. God can place you, when you least expect it. What do you mean? Loot at Margareta. She is so happy despite her ***. If only Becky could... did not... Maybe it would have been her on that order today! If only she had fought! Mama Mboga, I am so sorry. When I let down Margareta in her time of need, I didn't think of what you had gone through with Becky. I let you down too. Anna... This terrible curse affects all of us. We cannot beat it by running away or fearing it. We need to help each other whenever we can. Just remember. Becky still lives... Through her baby! You're right. The past doesn't matter anymore. With hard work and determination, everything is going to be positive. I need to spend more time with my family. And maybe get a man! One was enough to last me a lifetime. Besides I have children to educate and teach them to be strong! Come on, we need to get on the race. I'm so used to having you around. Things just won't be the same without you. I know. I feel the same way to you. Deep down I don't want you to go. But I know it's the best thing for you and your career. It's the best thing for us. It's just so hard. And it's hitting me now. Seeing you leave. I have a better idea. Why don't you just hop into the mat, and we go? - That is just crazy. No crazier than most of the things you've done! Don't tempt me. I may just decide to do it. So just do it! Come on, just... hop in! No, that's okay. Follow the path that your destiny has set for you. You'll always be a part of my destiny, PP. Always. Just get in. Go! Margaret is one amazing lady. Yes she is. But the most amazing lady is standing right next to me. What was that again? I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me? Cheryl! Cheryl... Help! Heeelp! Translation:
