Project: High Council (2023) s01e04 Episode Script
Laid Bare
Hello.
-Peace be upon you!
Do you like it?
-What's this?
It's your new phone.
Do you like it?
Dad.
Get up.
Let's have breakfast.
Have some more.
-It's okay, dad.
Why?
Is it not good?
You surely miss the food at school.
-No, I don't.
How's your mum and brother?
Are they doing okay?
They're all fine, dad.
Why are you concerned about them?
They don't care about us.
It's not a concern.
I was just asking.
What happened over there?
Never mind, dad.
I'm not in the mood.
Fakhri, I was just asking.
This rascal.
You're still here?
-Fakhri.
Come here.
There's no need to hide it.
Did you fight again?
Is there any other bruises?
What's the matter with you?
No, dad.
-You haven't changed at all.
You fight all the time.
What's wrong with you?
I'm asking you, answer me!
-What should I tell you?
What is happening in school?
Answer my question!
-It's a boys school!
So?
-You won't understand.
Why won't I understand?
-Because you're a sissy!
Mia.
When you're done with
that, do this one too.
One more thing. When are you
going to throw away the trash?
It's piling up.
I can smell it from here.
Mia?
Did she just leave?
Hey, woman. I've been
calling you but you ignored me.
Did you see how I called
out her name? She ignored me.
She's cold.
-Well.
You know, you would
be tasty dish for me.
Stop it.
Just stop it!
Shut up.
Just relax.
Hey!
Wow!
It's the real thing.
Hey, woman.
We're just trying to be nice.
Hey, that's enough!
-Let me go!
Boys only know two things.
Fooling around and fighting.
What are you waiting for?
Hurry up!
Fakhri.
Fakhri, I bought food.
Let's eat together.
Fakhri, can I open the door?
Fakhri.
I'm going back to school.
Mia.
Mia.
Where are we going?
If you want to follow me,
just be quiet.
If you don't want, you can go.
-But you asked me to come.
Is this the place
where you kill people?
Mia!
Wait, is this your car?
It used to belong
to my late mother.
But after she passed
away, my dad sold it.
He can't stand looking at it.
But my mum really loved this car.
So, I wanted to
buy this car back.
My dad didn't let me
to work anywhere else.
So, I have no choice but to work
at the dining hall, with him.
I saved up.
This month, I managed to
save up the amount I needed.
So now, this car is mine.
But just look at how the previous
owner took care of the car.
It was left unused.
You are Zainal's daughter?
Why?
-It's nothing.
Boys at school don't
really like him.
Why? Because he doesn't
care what he feeds the students?
No matter what he does,
he'll always get the tender.
He bribed your warden.
Why are you saying this?
-It's a fact.
I have nothing to fear.
What if when you grow old,
you become exactly like him?
I would never.
Why?
Are you scared that
you'd end up like your dad?
What are you doing?
You shocked me!
Imagine if I have a weak heart,
or high blood pressure..
Fakhri!
Hey.
Why are you back so early?
How's Naim's place?
Is it huge?
Are you okay?
I thought my family
is the only one messed up.
I have a brother too.
I have no problem with him.
He's only 15 but my
dad has saved up money to
send him overseas to study.
What about me? All I do is scoop
fish into your plates everyday.
Why? Is your brother
doing well in school?
Hey, I do well in school too.
I used to go to Setia.
-Setia?
You used to go to Setia?
-Yes!
Are you in that batch
with flunked SPM results?
No, that was two
batches before me.
But that batch earned our respect.
Their anchor was cool.
They were so brave to rebel.
Rebel.
I just don't get it.
Those rebellers.
Why?
Well, it's not that hard to listen
to your parents and teachers.
Why would you want
to go against them?
Do you know what I
realised after I graduated?
We always depend on people
who are older than us
to give us the answer.
To guide us.
Our teachers, and our parents.
But, they are all
actually clueless about
what they're doing too.
They're just lost like us too.
Since everyone is lost
in finding their ways,
we might as well
do it our own ways.
So, back to you.
From what you said,
you only have two options.
You can choose to be
lost like your stepfather,
or your biological father.
But what about yourself?
How do you want to do it?
Wow!
You can really go deep.
Cut it out.
Oh, no.
I'm running late.
My mum will be looking for me.
Are you okay being here alone?
-Okay. I'm okay.
Are you sure?
-Yes.
Are you sure you'll be fine alone?
-Yes.
Okay.
Come on, just go!
What are all these for?
They can't be for our pilgrimage.
Of course it's for our camp.
No, I thought these are the
props for your music video.
Hey!
Spare me some freedom. This
is the only time I can be myself.
You are so brave to
be staying here alone.
Honey, this dorm is nothing.
We never know what could
happen in other places.
Other places?
Come and follow me.
Okay, let's go.
Where is this road heading to?
To the school forest.
-This school has a forest?
Here it is. This is
the place that people fear.
Why?
-This place
is said to have
a ghost of a woman.
Many students saw it. Some
even quit the school afterwards.
The name of the ghost is
Angel.
-Angel?
Whose name is that?
Angel can't be a name for a ghost.
-Don't say it!
This place is feared too.
What's wrong this place?
-Encik Meor's house.
Encik Meor?
-He used to be Kudrat's gardener.
He likes pretty boys.
But he's dead. After he died, the
boys tried to break into his house.
They never got out.
They didn't? The pretty boys?
-Yes.
I guess the ghost is a pedophile.
Aren't you afraid?
Let's move on to the next one.
-Ayam.
Ayam.
Okay.
This place
is the scariest of all.
In the High Council book, they
mentioned a tall black entity
guarding this place.
During the Selangor
water crisis..
Wait. We still
have the crisis now.
Anyway, the school tried
to open the tank here.
But there were obstacles.
All the workers who
went up to the tank
were pushed by it.
Some of them fell and died.
This one is creepy.
It's creeping me out.
Let's get out from here.
Oh my god.
Let's go, silly.
Hey, put on some sunscreen.
You're putting on
lotion like a lady.
Hey, skin cancer is real.
Hakeem, did you get the stuff?
It has started.
Come on.
This is good stuff. I ordered
it from Nepal construction.
"Kudrat Camp Site"
Hey, come and help me!
-You need to help me too.
Ayam!
-What?
What's the matter with you? Are
you going to sleep in this tent?
I want to help you, that's
why I need your help too.
Okay, what exactly
are we doing right now?
What is a Honeymoon Camp?
-Do you think I know everything?
All fourth formers must
join this Honeymoon Camp.
I don't even know what good comes
from it. Now, can you help me?
Do you need any help?
Then, we need some clove,
star anise and butterfly pea.
All done. I even put
some flowers of love.
Nice.
Zahrin, hold this.
The stinkier, the better.
How much of this do
we need to put in?
Just put in one of this.
One cup!
We only need one tablespoon!
I thought one cup.
Never mind.
-What do we do?
Just do nothing.
-Okay, let's do nothing.
Why am I crying while cooking?
What are you saying?
This looks like a chicken coop.
See, I told you.
This is stressing me out.
What are we doing here?
Why are we in the jungle?
Our ancestors escaped the jungle
but we offered to enter the jungle?
It's hot in here.
I'm thirsty.
What are they doing now?
Honeymooners 2006!
Welcome to the Honeymoon Camp.
Congratulations for attending
the most important event
in Kudrat's tradition.
On your way coming here,
many of your
friends were defeated.
But the reality is,
Kudrat is not a
place for the weaklings.
With your presence here
you have proven
that you are a man!
To celebrate your success,
tonight under the moonlight,
with that honey tea you have,
you will reflect on yourself.
Think about all your challenges.
All the traumas that
failed to kill you so far.
Tonight, you will be real men!
Are you having a good time?
-Yes!
Are you ready for the
ritual of Honeymoon Camp?
Ready!
It's good that you're ready.
Let's start with a
little team building.
This game used to be played
by generations of Kudrat.
It is a game that is specifically
for this Honeymoon Camp.
It suits Kudrat's first motto,..
to obey.
This game is called,
Obey or Hit?
As you can see here,
there's a box.
Take one paper each.
Do not open it
until it's your turn.
On the paper, there
is one instruction.
The instructions are
from the High Council book.
When it's your turn,
you can stand up.
Read the instruction
and make a choice.
You can choose to obey the
instruction, or not to.
For those who refused
to obey the instruction
you will be beaten up by
your own camping partner.
For example,
Ayam!
Come here.
Read your instruction.
Read it loudly so
that everyone can hear you.
Read it loudly.
Say one thing you don't
like about your partner.
Hurry up.
What don't you like about me?
Okay.
What do you mean by okay?
How's that?
It's simple, isn't
it? If so,
we can start now.
You go first.
Piss in your pants in
front of everyone now.
Punch your partner in the face.
It's okay. Just kick me.
Naim.
It's your turn.
Kahar, I'm sorry.
Amir is not feeling well.
He's in the tent.
It's okay.
I have something for you.
Ayam.
Give me your paper.
Fakhri, get up.
You'll be his partner for now.
Get up, now.
Don't make me say it again.
Here you go.
Special for the both of you.
Say one thing you don't
like about your partner.
I
don't like the way you think
you're better than this place.
I hate everything that you
have done to me all this while.
I hate that you think you're
the only victim in the world.
You pity yourself too much
that you can't even see
that you're making
every one else suffer too.
That's all.
Am I good now?
Such a drama.
Okay, whose turn is it now?
Ayam, don't do this.
Ayam, help me please.
Ayam!
Ayam!
What's the matter with you?
Who's that?
Good morning, princess.
Ariz, Black, wake up!
Ariz, wake up!
Get up!
Good early morning.
Our second motto
is to be strong.
Ayam, are you okay?
-I don't feel too well.
Be strong in reflecting yourself.
Be strong to face things
that give you trauma.
Now, I will tell you about
Honeymoon Camp 's biggest secret.
The honey tea that you have
been drinking all day long
is not the usual honey.
According to the
High Council book,
the honey can make
you see beyond everything.
Ayam!
-It will force us to see
things that we are
scared of the most in the world.
Hey! Did you poison us?
In situations like this
you will be placed
far away from each other
in our school forest.
You will stay
alone in the dark
for three hours.
Kahar?
I don't want to stay here.
I don't want to be here.
It's the Owl game.
Nothing happened.
Maybe I'm not pretty enough.
Help!
If I know this would happen, I
would have quit with Ikhsan too.
What am I even doing here?
Oh my god!
What is that sound?
Angel?
I'm sorry angel.
You don't have to crawl.
Angel, I'm sorry.
I'm not here to disturb you.
I don't want to disturb you. Don't
kill me I'm a feminist! Angel!
Why? Are you disappointed
to see yourself?
Oh, no.
Why am I back here again?
Mum?
Mum?
Naim.
Mum?
Mum?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Admit it!
Just admit it now.
Admit what?
-Admit that you're a piece of shit!
You're all talk but
you're actually a coward.
I'm not!
I'm not a coward!
I'm not a coward!
I'm not!
I'm not a coward!
I'm not a coward!
I'm not a coward!
What is this?
I'm not a coward!
Can you see?
-Just go away.
Are you stupid?
Can't you see your hand bleeding?
What do you even care?
Why would you care about me?
You're a selfish brat.
Your existence is useless.
It's you!
You lied to me.
You lie to everyone in school.
The worst one is,
you're lying to yourself, Naim.
What about you then?
You destroy everything!
You destroyed my life in Kudrat!
You destroyed our family!
Your existence is a misfortune.
Naim.
Calm down.
You guys are out of your minds.
Really crazy.
During my Honeymoon Camp , the
craziest thing that happened was
Hakeem shitting his pants.
What are you laughing at?
Don't tell them.
But you guys are crazy.
If I didn't jump in just now
you guys might end
up killing each other.
Where are you going, Fakhri?
Kudrat's last motto; to be firm!
Which means, being strong.
No matter what, keep on standing.
Don't ever run away.
I have figured out long
time ago, you are a coward.
You run away at
the littlest problem.
You run away at the
littlest problem, like an idiot.
When are you going to start
embracing everything like a man?
Alright.
I'll embrace it.
I am offering myself
to be the nominee
for Kasturi house
for the election.
I will destroy you.
I will destroy you!
And you!
I will destroy everything!
When I win, I will be
the leader.
Open your eyes.
Open your eyes wide!
Watch me burn your old book.
I will banish the license.
I will banish this
stupid Honeymoon Camp!
And
I will get rid of High Council.
Forever and ever.
-Peace be upon you!
Do you like it?
-What's this?
It's your new phone.
Do you like it?
Dad.
Get up.
Let's have breakfast.
Have some more.
-It's okay, dad.
Why?
Is it not good?
You surely miss the food at school.
-No, I don't.
How's your mum and brother?
Are they doing okay?
They're all fine, dad.
Why are you concerned about them?
They don't care about us.
It's not a concern.
I was just asking.
What happened over there?
Never mind, dad.
I'm not in the mood.
Fakhri, I was just asking.
This rascal.
You're still here?
-Fakhri.
Come here.
There's no need to hide it.
Did you fight again?
Is there any other bruises?
What's the matter with you?
No, dad.
-You haven't changed at all.
You fight all the time.
What's wrong with you?
I'm asking you, answer me!
-What should I tell you?
What is happening in school?
Answer my question!
-It's a boys school!
So?
-You won't understand.
Why won't I understand?
-Because you're a sissy!
Mia.
When you're done with
that, do this one too.
One more thing. When are you
going to throw away the trash?
It's piling up.
I can smell it from here.
Mia?
Did she just leave?
Hey, woman. I've been
calling you but you ignored me.
Did you see how I called
out her name? She ignored me.
She's cold.
-Well.
You know, you would
be tasty dish for me.
Stop it.
Just stop it!
Shut up.
Just relax.
Hey!
Wow!
It's the real thing.
Hey, woman.
We're just trying to be nice.
Hey, that's enough!
-Let me go!
Boys only know two things.
Fooling around and fighting.
What are you waiting for?
Hurry up!
Fakhri.
Fakhri, I bought food.
Let's eat together.
Fakhri, can I open the door?

I'm going back to school.

Good morning, princess.

Get up!
Good early morning.
Our second motto
is to be strong.
Ayam, are you okay?
-I don't feel too well.
Be strong in reflecting yourself.
Be strong to face things
that give you trauma.
Now, I will tell you about
Honeymoon Camp 's biggest secret.
The honey tea that you have
been drinking all day long
is not the usual honey.
According to the
High Council book,
the honey can make
you see beyond everything.
Ayam!
-It will force us to see
things that we are
scared of the most in the world.
Hey! Did you poison us?
In situations like this
you will be placed
far away from each other
in our school forest.
You will stay
alone in the dark
for three hours.
Kahar?
I don't want to stay here.
I don't want to be here.
It's the Owl game.
Nothing happened.
Maybe I'm not pretty enough.
Help!
If I know this would happen, I
would have quit with Ikhsan too.
What am I even doing here?
Oh my god!
What is that sound?
Angel?
I'm sorry angel.
You don't have to crawl.
Angel, I'm sorry.
I'm not here to disturb you.
I don't want to disturb you. Don't
kill me I'm a feminist! Angel!
Why? Are you disappointed
to see yourself?
Oh, no.
Why am I back here again?
Mum?
Mum?
Naim.
Mum?
Mum?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Admit it!
Just admit it now.
Admit what?
-Admit that you're a piece of shit!
You're all talk but
you're actually a coward.
I'm not!
I'm not a coward!
I'm not a coward!
I'm not!
I'm not a coward!
I'm not a coward!
I'm not a coward!
What is this?
I'm not a coward!
Can you see?
-Just go away.
Are you stupid?
Can't you see your hand bleeding?
What do you even care?
Why would you care about me?
You're a selfish brat.
Your existence is useless.
It's you!
You lied to me.
You lie to everyone in school.
The worst one is,
you're lying to yourself, Naim.
What about you then?
You destroy everything!
You destroyed my life in Kudrat!
You destroyed our family!
Your existence is a misfortune.
Naim.
Calm down.
You guys are out of your minds.
Really crazy.
During my Honeymoon Camp , the
craziest thing that happened was
Hakeem shitting his pants.
What are you laughing at?
Don't tell them.
But you guys are crazy.
If I didn't jump in just now
you guys might end
up killing each other.
Where are you going, Fakhri?
Kudrat's last motto; to be firm!
Which means, being strong.
No matter what, keep on standing.
Don't ever run away.
I have figured out long
time ago, you are a coward.
You run away at
the littlest problem.
You run away at the
littlest problem, like an idiot.
When are you going to start
embracing everything like a man?
Alright.
I'll embrace it.
I am offering myself
to be the nominee
for Kasturi house
for the election.
I will destroy you.
I will destroy you!
And you!
I will destroy everything!
When I win, I will be
the leader.
Open your eyes.
Open your eyes wide!
Watch me burn your old book.
I will banish the license.
I will banish this
stupid Honeymoon Camp!
And
I will get rid of High Council.
Forever and ever.
