Project: High Council (2023) s01e09 Episode Script

Why were you there last night?
And the wardens got there too?
Now, everyone thinks
I asked you to report it.
This is my school!
You don't have to interfere!
What were you guys
doing all along?
Naim.
Hey, Naim! Stop!
I don't care.
I need you to tell me now!
What do you want from me?
-I want to know
why is it your face
always have bruises.
I want to know
why you've always fight!
What are you trying to prove?
That you're strong?
Not feminine like your father?
This is how you prove it?
What about you?
What are you trying to prove?
Try asking yourself
what do you want?
Mia, you got the offer.
Your car is ready. Why are you
still at this shabby dining hall?
Why didn't you leave?
Because you know when you leave,
you have to make
your own decision.
Whatever happens then
is your responsibility.
I know you're
afraid of that, right?
Okay, fine.
I'm a coward.
But do you know why
I'm still here?
Because of you, Naim.
I love you.
Don't you understand?
I just want to know if
you don't feel the same way
about me even at all?
Then, fine.
I'll leave. I won't interfere
with your life anymore.
Yes.
Not even a bit.
Naim.
Are you serious?
-Who are you?
If my own parents
couldn't accept me,
why will you?
"Episode 9:
REFLECTION"
Sir. Ma'am.
What did the doctor say?
Is he awake? Can I see him now?
Fakhri. You need to tell us
what really happen to him, Fakhri!
You think we believe that
he just fell down the stairs?
And your face! What happened?
Fakhri!
Tell us why, Fakhri!
Enough, enough.
Fakhri, go wash your face.
Prakash, go with him.
When you're both done,
I'll take you back to the dorm.
You're going to let them lie to us?
Again and again?
They've been lying
to us all this time.
What makes you think
they'll break now?
Kahar.
Why did the High Council
established?
Because
of them.
To keep our demon in check.
I saw my demon last night, Keem.
I looked at Fakhri.
I thought of killing him.
But I'm scared now, Keem.
I'm afraid
I might have killed Ayam.
Ayam, Hakeem..
If I couldn't control
my own demon,
why did I think
I could keep you guys in check?
Hello, Dad.
Are you free tomorrow?
What happened, Mr. Sin?
The boys won't tell me.
I don't know what bad luck has
fallen upon the school this year.
Mr. Yusof. If I may.
The only difference between
this year and the past years
is that this year we've been
able to expose their shenanigans.
And we have to continue to do so
if we want to keep
this from happening again.
I've told you, Mr. Sin.
The Alumni have warned me.
Mr. Yusof,
are we responsible
for the boys or the Alumni?
Kahar!
Did you see
what you did to Ayam?
I asked did you see?
Hey! Answer me, you demon!
Answer me!
Is he okay?
-Bullshit..
You bastard!
-Hey!
Roll call! Now!
Is everyone from Tuah here?
Yes, sir.
Is everyone from Kasturi here?
We're all here, sir.
How many?
The last time I checked,
it was 52.
Where's one more?
-He's in the hospital.
Why is he in the hospital?
What is the reason?
Your friend is fighting
for his life in the hospital
but none of you with
your bruised faces knows why?
'Njet-steng' now.
I said 'njet-steng'.
Hey, do it! Are you deaf?
You seem surprised that
we know this form of punishment.
One that is so popular amongst you.
Make no mistake.
Whether or not you cooperate,
the school has become
increasingly aware
of your nocturnal activities.
We are bound to expose everything.
And when we do,
all those of you
who have not cooperated
will be assumed responsible.
It's high time
we cleanse the worst from KUDRAT.
Fakhri, what happened to Ayam?
-I don't know.
Is he in a coma?
I..
I don't..
-I'm afraid he'll be paralysed.
What happened if he dies?
Won't this be a police case?
He won't say anything about
the scuffle between batch, right?
I couldn't imagine if he dies.
Did he die?
-You must know, Fakhri.
Tell us now, Fakhri.
-Answer now, Fakhri.
You must know.
-Tell us, Fakhri!
Fakhri!
-Just say it, Fakhri!
Fakhri! You're his best friend!
Hey!
I said I know nothing!
Why are you still up?
You brats! Go back to your dorm!
I have some news.
Me and Dad,
we've decided
to get a divorce.
-What?
Why so sudden?
-I'll tell you later.
What's important now is
we need to go to the court
to re-open the case of
the custody over Fakhri..
-Wait.
Wait, Ma. What do you mean?
Naim, listen to..
-No! You listen to me!
What have Fakhri done
for you all this time?
Who stay and loyal to you? Who
took care of your fragile heart?
For years, I've tried
to change myself
to be different from Papa.
To the point
I hate to see his face!
So I tried to be like Dad.
The man you had chose.
I entered this stupid school
so I could be like him!
And now you said
you want to leave him too?
Naim, it's him.
-Mama, the thing is
who else should I try
to be for you to notice me?
Am I never enough for you?
What's wrong, Papa?
We won't run this time, Fakhri.
You were right all along.
Mama doesn't care about us.
Because of her,
our life became like this.
And because of her,
our life was ruined.
We ran before.
This time, we're staying to fight.
Mia!
Sorry.
-Wait.
You're Naim, right?
Oh, here.
Mia asked me to pass this to you.
Mia!
Mia!
Naim, stop!
Naim, it's not ours.
Naim.
This is someone else's.
Naim?
Are you okay?
Naim?
Naim.
Why are you having
trouble to breathe earlier?
Naim.
It's okay.
That doesn't change anything.
Naim.
Naim!
Nur Naim! Wait!
I don't understand
why you're treating me like this!
Your mom wanted the divorce!
Your mom broke our family!
Why are you so mad at me?
We had a plan, Papa!
Yes! We have to stay with Mama,
but we could still
meet each other once a while.
But you couldn't even do that!
Your favorite child
ran back to you.
Then, you decided
that Fakhri is enough.
Just Fakhri is enough?
Who am I then, Papa?
You never wanted me all this time?
Papa! When I'm speaking to you,
look at me!
Papa.
Is it that hard for you
to look at your own reflection?
Naim, you do know that
you could talk
about anything with me.
It's about Fakhri, right?
Or about Mia?
Mia's gone.
I'm not trying
to make you feel worse.
But,
I told you so.
What's your problem?
What's your issue with me?
Why can't you be happy
about me and Mia?
Why are you
so obssesed with me?
Naim.
-You know how it felt.
So now you're gay?
You grow feelings for me?
Mr. Fakhri. Why did you ran away
from your mother's house?
Mr. Fakhri, every question
asked in this room
has to be answered
in order to help the case.
Sir. During that incident,
he's still young.
He was only nine years old.
Nine years old?
For case like this,
the court usually
emphasises the child's
experience especially
if he reached 'mumayyiz'.
If he already turned nine
that year, actually
he has the right to choose.
Sir. I'm the one that..
-Ma'am.
I didn't found any police report
regarding
Fakhri's disappearance.
You didn't lodge any report?
Have you received any
phone calls from your ex-wife
asking about
your son's well-being?
No.
Pass me the phone, Naim.
Sir, I..
I want to submit a new evidence.
Here. You can see for yourself.
This is the product of being raised
under the care of Fakhri's father.
Not just that.
Fakhri got involved
in other fights.
My eldest son is a witness.
Mr. Firdaus, do you have any
intention to withdraw this claim?
No, sir.
If so,
this case have to
be referred to the court.
What are you looking for?
-A business card of a lawyer.
We couldn't afford a lawyer.
-It's okay, Fakhri.
I'll sell my shabby car.
I sell whatever I have.
-Papa.
If it's still not enough,
I'll borrow from a loan shark.
I don't give a shit anymore!
-Papa!
Enough, Papa.
I couldn't afford
to lose you again.
Why did this happen, Fakhri?
I'm tired of all these.
Mama, Naim, Us.
Why it has come to this, Fakhri?
I'm tired of this, Fakhri.
I'm so tired.
I'm so tired.
I didn't know teachers
have to do academic papers.
It's for my Masters application.
That's wonderful, Faniza.
Yeah.
You know, Mr. Sin.
Part of the reason
I want to teach these kids
is because I want them
to discover the humanity in them.
That's what I wanted
for the baby too.
But after what happened,
what's the point?
You were right all along.
We're no better than animals.
Ayam..
Wake up.
The last time we talked,
you called me
all sorts of names.
You can't just leave me after that.
Ayam, please wake up.
I just understand
that during the movie night,
you chased after me,
you searched for me,
you insulted me
with all kinds of names
because you want to help me.
You want to save me
but I was stupid.
I'm an idiot, Yam.
A fool..
Wake up, Yam.
Everything you said
about me is true, Ayam.
Everything I touched
is destroyed.
Look what I did, Yam.
The things I did to my family.
I need you, Yam.
Please wake up.
Wake up, Yam.
Please help me, Yam.
I..
I couldn't stand
of just ruining things, Yam.
Ayam, please.
Please wake up.
Who brought you here?
-My dad.
You?
-Me too.
I..
I don't want to make
my father wait. I'll go first.
Fakhri, wait.
It wasn't too long ago.
I was at a hospital,
was hoping for
that someone will wake up.
My brother.
He was beaten to death.
I know you didn't know me, Fakhri.
But I hope you'll listen to me.
About you and Naim's manifesto.
I have a bad feeling about it.
Don't carry on with it.
What do you want?
I want to ask you
to stop all these.
What are you waiting for?
We don't even
have to wait for Kahar.
I'm ready.
Anytime.
I don't want to fight you.
I..
I don't want
to proceed with our manifesto.
After what you did to my life,
you decided that's it?
You left me alone with Mama!
You broke all of our promises!
Then you came into my room,
and you decided that's it?
I used to think
it's a good thing
this kid ran away from home.
So that Mama only has one son.
Mama could focused on me more.
Maybe, she would finally love me.
And maybe,
she would finally notice me.
But no,
you couldn't stay put.
You came back!
You came here to KUDRAT!
You came back in my life.
And what did you do?
You did the exact same thing.
You took away
everything in my life!
You took Mama! You took Papa!
You took my place in this school!
And then,
you came in here
to take our manifesto away.
I only live for that, Fakhri.
The chance to ruin your life!
If you win, what will you do?
Huh?
You yourself don't..
You don't even agree
with this High Council bullshit.
Who said I want to win?
I want to kill you.
I don't want to wait any longer.
We'll fight tonight.
-Naim.
Wardens are too alert now.
-So what?
We'll do it in the woods.
-Are you serious?
You want to force me?
If you're manly enough.
Okay.
Naim.
I've thought about
what you said to me.
I was mad at you because
you're not being honest with me
but, I've just realised that
I'm not being honest
with myself too.
All along, I've used
every excuse in this world
to run from
being responsible for myself.
Thank you for making me realised.
So I'll leave
to be responsible for my life.
Starting with
that scholarship interview.
I don't know if you
still want to see me or not.
But if I get this scholarship,
I'm keeping my promise to you.
I wait for you there, Naim.
Naim, I pray that
you'll find everything
you're searching for
in your life.
I just hope that
while searching for
what you want
you wouldn't get lost.
Naim.
It's not too late to
stop all of these.
Enough, Naim!
Enough!
What are you doing, asshole?
Fight me back!
No, Naim.
I don't want to fight you.
Asshole, get up!
Enough!
Enough, Naim!
What else do you want?
You won!
You won and I lost!
This idiot is your Kapla next year!
He's your Kapla next year.
Do you understand?
I'm.. I'm out.
I've had enough.
Enough, Naim.
Screw this Kapla bullshit!
Mr. Sin. Everyone's here
except for the Form 4s.
Prakash!
Where is everyone?
Hey! Hit me, you bastard!
Na.. Naim.
I don't want to fight you, Naim.
I don't want to fight you.
Hit me, you bastard!
Look at him!
Look how someone
would always run
if you were raised by a sissy!
You asked for this, bastard.
You ruined my life!
Mama's life! Papa's life!
This school is ruined
because of you!
Ayam got admitted
because of you!
Our family
is ruined because of you!
You did all these!
It's you!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Everything you said is true!
Everything you said is true!
I'm stupid! I'm a coward!
I'm a destroyer!
Everything I touched
is ruined, Naim!
I destroyed
everything I touched, Naim!
Ayam's in a come
because of me!
I broke our promises!
I ran! Papa's life is ruined!
Our family is ruined!
All of our lives is ruined, Naim!
Destroyed!
I know you hate me, Naim.
I know you hate me, Naim!
Because I hate myself too!
I hate myself, Naim.
I ruined! I destroyed!
I ruined! Everything
I touched is destroyed!
Destroyed, Naim!
Destroyed..
-Enough, Fakhri!
Fakhri!
I ruined!
-Enough, Fakhri.
Enough!

Wake up, Naim.
Naim, open your eyes.
Naim. Wake up.
Naim.

Naim! Wake up, Naim!
Wake up, Naim.
Don't touch me!
Fakhri.
-Wake up, Naim! Naim!
Wake up, Naim!
Go away!
Wake up, Naim! Naim!
Wake up, Naim! Please.
Help..
Help. Naim, wake up.
Naim, Naim.
Naim..
Sir,..
Sir, please help my brother.
Please help my brother, sir.
