Episode Title: Bobo Time

DIRECTOR
Oh, yes, he has already done that.

KOFI
(excitedly)
He has? Ato has spoken to you about it?

DIRECTOR
Oh, yes. He came here early in the morning when he heard I was going to do the psychological evaluation. Actually he told me the same story you’ve just narrated, and I’m prone to believe that indeed, you two have really told me the truth!

KOFI
(sobbing)
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, sir! I’m so grateful!

The man slowly readjusts his chair, and it moves upward slowly until he is sitting straight and staring at Kofi.

His face is impassive, and there is a certain calculating look in his eyes that Kofi finds very uncomfortable indeed.

DIRECTOR
And, if I may ask, why are you thanking me, and why are you being grateful?

KOFI
(carefully)
I’m thankful that you believe my story, and based on that I’m certain you’re going to declare me of sound mind, and for that I’m grateful in advance, because your verdict will exonerate me from this whole mess.

Director Bobo Dovlo smiles in a sinister way and shakes his head.

DIRECTOR
Yes, I believe you, young man, and I know you’re not insane.

KOFI
Thank you so much, sir. May God bless you.
The man stands up and enters another office at the far end of the hall.

He spends about thirty minutes in there, and when he finally comes out he is holding a sealed envelope.

He stands in front of Kofi and gives his sinister smile again.

DIRECTOR
This is the report I’m going to give to the Judge, young man. It states that after observing you and doing several tests, I have come to the professional diagnosis that you’re mentally unhinged and a danger to, not only yourself, but to the society. It also states categorically that if you’re not admitted to the ADADA ASYLUM for treatment, there is a hundred percent probable chance that you will kill human beings within the next few days.

Kofi shoots out of the chair with sudden horror, but the restraints across his chest, wrists and ankles tighten painfully, drawing him back.

KOFI
(terrified)
Wh-what d-did you s-say, Doc?

DIRECTOR
(smiling menacingly)
You heard me. Oh, yes, you heard me! I’ve officially declared you mentally insane, a menace to yourself and society. I’ve officially sentenced you to spend the rest of your natural life cooped up in this asylum, and there is no escape for you!

KOFI
(horrified)
You’re going to… to lie I’m insane and k-keep m-me here as a patient?

DIRECTOR
(nodding with a smile)
Exaaaaaatally, as an Asian friend of mine will say.

KOFI
(struggling)
But why? SIR, WHY? WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH A WICKED AND DASTARDLY THING?

Doctor Bobo throws back his head then and laughs harshly.

DIRECTOR
Oh, this is sweet! Little man, do you remember a certain woman named Naana? Naana Basiwaa?

Suddenly a tight knot of fear slams into Kofi’s belly!

Madam Naana Basiwaa!
Yes, Kofi remembers her!

Shortly after he had been employed by Mr. Laryea Odamten, the elderly woman had come to the office to see Mr. Laryea. Kofi had been asked to drive her to one of the sites where she wanted to purchase a house.

Two weeks later, Kofi and Madam Naana had started an affair!

She had had money, and she had taken a really good fancy to him. She had been far older, but she had had a good body and had been very voracious in bed!

It had been much later, about a year later, when Kofi had decided that he had had enough of her.

He had broken off with her in the house she had purchased. She had cried and begged him not to leave her, but Kofi had had enough of her.

He had left her, and had not heard from her again.

And now this Director has given a medical report that will condemn Kofi to the asylum because of his involvement with Madam Naana Basiwaa?

KOFI
(horrified)
Yes, I… I knew her, sir. B-but wh-what’s t-that got to do w-with me?

DIRECTOR
(with a nasty smile)
For starters, she was married to me. After you s£duced her, she refused to make love to me again, for a whole year, and she wanted a divorce, which I wouldn’t grant her because I loved her very much! She wasn’t working! All the money she showered on you, the gifts she bought for you, the nice places she took you, the hefty expenses she incurred were all coming from my pocket! I was crying each night, begging her to stop and be with me, but she wouldn’t! She tortured my soul, because of you!

KOFI
(terrified)
Ohhhhhhhhh! Ohhhhhhhh, sir! I’m soooo sorry! I didn’t know she was your wife! I broke off with her!

DIRECTOR
(insanely shouting)
YES, YOU BROKE OFF WITH HER, AFTER SHE HAD WASTED MY MONEY ON YOU! AFTER YOU HAD HAD ENOUGH OF HER! SHE THEN CONFESSED TO ME AND SAID HOW SORRY SHE WAS FOR BEING UNFAITHFUL TO ME! I WAS SO MAD! ALTHOUGH SHE PROMISED IT WOULDN’T HAPPEN AGAIN AND SHE WOULD STAY WTIH ME FOREVER, I HATED HER! I DIVORCED HER, AND SHE COMMITTED SUICIDE TWO MONTHS LATER! AND I’VE BEEN IN PAIN EVER SINCE! YOU ROBBED ME OF A WIFE, YOUNG MAN, AND ROBBED MY CHILDREN OF A MOTHER! OH, YOU’RE SO GOING TO PAY, KOFI KUNTUKUNUNKU! YOU DON’T KNOW HOW LONG I’VE WAITED FOR A CHANCE LIKE THIS! YOU’RE GOING TO EXPERIENCE MY WRATH, MY FURY, AND MY VENGEANCE!

KOFI
(horrified)
Ohhhhhhhhhh! Sir, sir, sir! I’m sorry! So sorry! Oh, I didn’t know that! Please, sir, I beg of you! Don’t do this, okay? I was young and stupid!

DIRECTOR
(fiercely)
I don’t give a f--k! I had planned for years, YEARS, of how to seek revenge on you, but there was nothing I could DO until you decided to f--k a dead Indian woman! Oh, Kofi Kuntu, I’m so glad you’re here! You’re going to spend the rest of your life here, and you’re going to die a slow painful death here, that I promise you! You’re going to have a funky time here!

Kofi struggles futilely in the chair, his eyes bulging with terror as he realizes the terrible end the man has planned for him.

KOFI
(shrieking)
No, no, no, no! You can’t do this! Nooooo! I’m sorry! Oh, please, don’t do this to meeeee…

Director then takes a syringe out of his pocked and with a sudden movement he stabs it into Kofi’s neck and depresses the plunger.

DIRECTOR
(insanely)
Well, I’ve just given you an injection with a hallucinatory effect. It will enter your bloodstream in moment, and render you temporarily insane. Of course I’ve taken the liberty to invite members of the press and the Judge here. After they see how the drug will make you behave, they’ll believe my report! Welcome to ADADA, Mr. Kuntu! Thought you could f--k f--k my wife rough rough for free, huh? Your mother! You’re going to taste pepper, my friend!
