Blood Legacy (2024) s01e07 Episode Script

I am failing at this, Dad.
I am failing.
Mom.
Mom, what's going on?
- Is everything okay?
- Yeah, Khanyi.
Everything is all right.
I hate how we left things
unconcluded and unclear.
I also heard that you are the one who
who orchestrated to fix this issue
with the strike.
Even if I'm not the CEO,
it doesn't matter.
I just really want
to keep my promise to those people.
[sighs] You see, my child,
if you truly believe
that you are susceptible,
with enough enthusiasm
to run this business,
go ahead,
and Spear will belong to you.
But it will be yours on one condition.
It's for you to have the determination
to make sure that this family
stays undefeated to remain
unified and strong.
Whatever problems we face in the future,
I do not want you to abandon us.
Okay, Mom.
I hear you.
- Mom.
- Thank you so much.
I hope you know you're making
a big mistake.
I know exactly why you're saying that now,
but it is what your father wanted
and you know.
I hear you, but at the moment
the decision is up to you.
Dad prepared me
for this job my whole life.
W-Where was Khanyisile?
Besides, she's an Adesina, not Ndlovu.
Are you saying we're taking
the family business,
that Gatsheni inheritance,
and just handing it to a Nigerian?
- Mandlakayise.
- Come on, Mom.
She's going to destroy us.
[Ntombenhle, echoing] No, she's not!
The only thing that you have
to do is help your sister.
- [footsteps running]
- [panting]
[panting continues]
[grunting]
[exhales]
[groans, panting]
You can't expect me to accept this.
But the decision has been made.
A week ago,
you were going to visit your father.
Now you are moving there, taking over.
They are going to corrupt you.
I'm not the little girl I used to be.
I'm a grown woman.
- Breathe in.
- [inhales]
- Breathe out.
- [exhales]
- And in.
- Hey. Remove this thing.
Dad. Just let them stay
so they can check you properly.
[medic] Everything seems to be fine.
It's a panic attack.
I don't panic.
Understood?
Thulisile, get these idiots
out of my house now.
You've been there a few days
and you're already lying.
They made you lie
the way you lied when you were a child.
Love, I am going there to fix things.
You said it yourself, it cannot be fixed.
You said you want to keep our children
away from your family's corruption.
The children are not going to be exposed.
They killed your father, remember?
We have upped the security.
The children are going to be safe, Akin.
Oh, Lethu Hadebe
finally reached out to me.
- Mmm.
- She's completely changed her mind
and she's willing
to take up your offer for her house.
Mm-hmm.
- Really?
- Right?
That's great. Well done.
I'm I'm very proud of you.
Why uproot her now?
She only has a few months of school left.
Which is the reason
I want to spend more time with the kids
before they go to varsity.
Khanyi, you are sending her to boarding
school. How is that spending more time?
[Khanyi] She's going to spend
the weekends with me and Njabulo,
and you can come over during the holidays.
We'll have more time to spend as a family.
And I found
a beautiful home for us over there.
It's fully furnished.
Mmm. You know
I don't care about those things,
and once upon a time, neither did you.
Because your love
What about what I want?
What do you want?
I wanna go with Mom.
Now listen, yeah?
I need you to go to the office,
make sure everything is good over there.
- Okay, sure.
- There we go. [chuckles]
- Bye, Dad. [kisses]
- Bye.
- Love you.
- I love you.
Look after yourself.
[phone beeping]
[line ringing]
- [Quinton] Mandla.
- Hi, uh
Quinton, listen.
Um
I, uh [chuckles]
I've got that house you were looking for.
What?
Yeah.
- Good job, man.
- I'm glad we can do business.
- Thank you very much.
- [phone beeps]
[mechanic]
So, first things first, your windows.
They're gonna be so strong
not even an AK-47 will scratch your tint.
Secondly, your tires.
They're run-flats, obviously.
So if you hit a couple of punctures,
you're still gonna keep going.
Then we're also reinforcing your paneling.
Not even a rocket will touch this.
Now this, this is a tank.
WELCOME TO ST AUGUSTINE
WE STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE
[Khanyi] It's smaller
than I imagined it to be.
[Amahle] It's the right size.
This boarding school thing.
Maybe it was a mistake.
It's perfect, Mom.
What if you don't like your roommate?
[chuckles] I'll be fine.
[sighs] I'll wait.
Come on, Mom.
Yeah, I want to meet her.
Wow. You can actually go.
You know it's your first day too?
You have to lead by example.
You can't be late.
- [sucks teeth] Aw.
- [chuckles]
I'm so proud of you, my baby.
I love you.
Good morning, everyone.
My name is Khanyisile Adesina.
I'm the new CEO.
I look forward to working
with each and every one of you.
Today, we're starting on a new page.
What happened in the past is irrelevant.
So, ladies and gentlemen,
let's go to work.
[student] Oh, so you've arrived.
Amahle, right?
Um, yes.
Oh, I'm Sara. Your roomie.
Cool.
Uh, you are a Ndlovu, right? No?
Oh, no, no. My mom was an Ndlovu.
I'm an Adesina.
Okay.
But that sounds like
- Nigerian, yes.
- I see.
Oh, but Nido is your cousin, right?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Nah, that's fine.
Bye.
- [knocking on door]
- Come in.
The status of the current projects
you asked for.
- Thank you.
- [chuckles]
I can still feel my father's presence.
Would you like me to call in
an interior designer, Mrs. Adesina?
No, no, no. [chuckles]
Leave it as it is, except for that.
Yes, ma'am.
Your brother had it put up
when he thought
No.
He can come and collect it.
- I'll tell him.
- And, Clarissa?
Khanyi will do just fine.
Thanks.
Khanyi. [chuckles]
- Thanks.
- Thank you.
[sighs]
[sighs]
[sighs]
[chuckles]
[students chattering]
[student] Yeah, same.
[student 2] I mean, I saw your Instagram.
Don't just act like you've been working.
You've literally been traveling
all over the world.
- [Amahle] Hi.
- Gosh.
- You scared me there.
- Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to.
I was hoping you could help me.
I think I'm lost.
I'm supposed to collect textbooks
from room 237,
- but can't seem to find it.
- Wow.
You're really lost.
You're on the wrong side of the building.
- Are you serious?
- You want to be on the west campus.
- Damn.
- I'm free right now.
I could take you if you don't mind.
Cool, thanks.
Oh, I'm Amahle.
Lukhanyo. Nice to meet you.
Okay, come. Let's go.
It's actually this way.
Come in.
Being a CEO looks good on you.
[chuckles] Flatterer.
And your speech was beautiful.
- It was short, but great.
- [chuckles]
Anything else you'd like to say?
Um
Unfortunately, I've heard some sad news.
Remember the security guard, Sifiso?
Yes, of course. How is he?
He has died.
Oh, no.
Do you know what happened?
No one knows anything.
Yeah.
Oh, here's the paperwork you need to sign
and thereafter all is in order.
[chuckles] Okay.
[grunts]
Khanyi, are you sure you really want
to do this on your first day?
Change has to start now.
I'm in charge, not Mandla.
I'll deal with him.
Thank you.
Yes, ma'am.
[whispering]
"I need you to consider these documents"
- [Pandora nickers]
- [chuckles]
That's the way you do it, my boy! [laughs]
[exhales]
Nice one.
[grunts]
Good boy.
Happy?
Yeah, I'm happy, but let's wait
and hear what your coach says.
- [chuckles]
- We chose really well. [chuckles]
Yeah.
[sighs] Although Mom
doesn't think so, hey.
[sighs] Well, there's a lot
that your mom disagrees with,
and a lot of things she doesn't understand
but, you know,
soon enough she'll see the light.
Yeah. [sighs]
- Um, Uncle?
- [Pandora nickers]
Thank you so much.
None of this would have been possible
without you.
Ah, all right.
- [chuckles]
- You're welcome.
Yeah, so, my father's the principal.
That's why I actually go here.
I mean, his job title has perks
like this scholarship
and everything, you know.
Wow, that's pretty cool.
Um, what about your dad?
What does he do?
Oh, he's a writer.
A lecturer, actually.
My mom is CEO of Spear Industries.
- Amahle!
- [Lukhanyo] That's huge.
[Nido chuckles]
[Lukhanyo] Wait, you know Nido?
[chuckles] Yeah, he's my cousin.
Hey, coz. How are you?
Okay, Amahle.
Um, I'll see you later, okay?
Uh, no. Wait for me.
[Lukhanyo] No, it's fine.
I'll I'll see you later.
[students chattering]
So, why didn't you come and look for me?
[chuckles] Yeah, um,
I just had to get my textbooks.
[stammers] Um, how do you
How do you know Pee-Wee?
Oh, Lukhanyo? I just met him.
Well, you'd better be careful
around him, all right?
What? Why?
He's not ideally part of our
relevant social group.
And what exactly is this
relevant social group?
He's on a scholarship,
for crying out loud.
Look, there's two types of people
on this planet, all right?
There's us and it.
Wow.
You know, I actually can't believe
you just said that.
Thanks for the advice.
I'll see you later.
- Amahle
- Lukhanyo, wait up.
Yes, the deposition
is on the 14th at 2:00.
- See you then. Bye.
- [handset settles in cradle]
- [sighs] Mark, right?
- Mmm.
Collin, I need you
to file this ASAP, please.
Sure, okay.
[unzips folder]
[gasps]
You should see this.
What is it now, Collin? [sighs]
Wait. Are you serious?
I don't know.
[phone beeps]
[line ringing]
[phone rings]
[sighs] Thulisile,
can I call you right back?
What?
How? Has it been signed?
Ah, okay.
Stay there. Don't do anything.
[Khanyi] How we did things in the past
is not how we're going to
be doing things moving forward.
From now on,
we want to promote accountability,
integrity and transparency.
We want to encourage whistleblowers,
therefore we're going to set up
an anonymous internal hotline.
- When we
- [Mandla] That's exactly what we need.
A new way to waste money,
time and resources
by encouraging people to complain.
Ladies and gentlemen,
please give us the room.
You're late.
Quinton Titus had joined us.
My projects were all about
to move forward.
[Siya] So what happened?
[Mandla] She canceled
all of my construction contracts.
I'm talking about billions of rands.
Now it's all flushed down the drain.
My brothers, listen here.
We said we would strive to clean up Spear.
And that's exactly what I'm doing.
This deal gets Spear out of the mess
that it's in right now, Khanyisile.
[sighs]
[Mandla] We owe a lot of people money
and you know that.
These people want payment as we speak.
[Siya] So, how are we going to pay them?
Joshua Larsen.
[Siya] The developer?
Joshua Larsen is building
three private hospitals
in the next five years,
and naturally,
he's looking for a construction company
and our family can come through.
I have sent him the proposals.
I am meeting with him this afternoon.
And there's a lot of money
in building hospitals.
No, not as much as government money.
[Khanyi] Joshua Larsen is
an honorable man.
He's truthful and dependable.
And us associating with him
will only improve our reputation.
Remember this moment, my brother.
This is the day on which our dear sister
completely destroyed Spear.
- Clarissa.
- Yes, sir.
Uh, my sister has asked
that you share her diary and her schedule
for this week with my PA.
We, uh
We'd like to coordinate a few meetings.
Yes, of course, Mr. Ndlovu.
Thank you.
- [Khanyi sighs]
- Don't be nervous. We've got this.
Khanyisile Adesina to see Joshua Larsen.
- Just a moment.
- Thank you.
Apologies, ma'am.
Mr. Larsen has left for the day.
Josh!
[Joshua] Mandla.
[chuckles] I'm sorry, I'm a bit confused.
I thought I was meeting your sister.
[Mandla] Uh, my sister is not feeling
too well.
Uh, a little bit under the weather.
So she, um, asked me to come down here
and iron out a few details.
But we have a three o'clock appointment.
Yes, ma'am. But we got a call from Spear
this morning moving the appointment.
I'm the CEO of Spear.
I did not move that meeting.
Thank you very much.
I know exactly who did this.
[Mandla] I looked at
the projections, Josh.
The proposals she sent you
both look pretty good.
- Not too bad, huh?
- But it can look better.
Why don't I send you another proposal?
A new proposal
with some creative accounting.
With a new budget that will mean
more money for you, for both of you,
and, um,
for Spear in the back end.
[chuckles]
The apple doesn't fall
far from the tree, does it?
I beg your pardon?
The only reason I even considered
working with Spear
was your sister and her reputation
as an honest journalist.
I thought maybe with her as CEO,
Spear would have a chance,
but I guess I was wrong.
Josh.
- You're mistaken here. I
- You are mistaken.
I will not work with thieves and snakes.
You tell your sister the deal is off.
- Josh, please. We can
- We're done!
Maybe he said P1.
[sighs]
I should just [sighs]
No.
[Msizi] This better be good.
It is.
What's this?
It's a cancellation order.
Our new CEO
is canceling all of our construction deals
with the government.
Hmm.
Nice work.
Thanks.
Nice work indeed.
Thanks.
[exclaims]
Thanks.
Please, Mr. Larsen. Can you reconsider?
Yes, I understand.
Have a good day.
- [phone clatters]
- [whispers] Fuck.
Hmm.
Not going well?
You fucking douchebag.
You're the reason
my contract went under, right?
No, course not.
I wouldn't do that and you know it.
I was just trying to get us more money.
Both of us.
I must admit, your deal was really good.
Really good.
But we're short of time so right now
we're going to have to move ahead
with Quinton Titus.
All you have to do
is sign here.
And this all goes away.
I told you
I'm not fucking signing that contract!
Khanyisile.
Sign the fucking papers.
You know this is over.
Get out of Dad's chair because
you have no idea what you're doing!
You're not fit to be CEO
- [slams table]
- so just sign the goddamned contract!
I have had it with you, Mandlakayise.
I am up to here.
Like I said,
I am not signing the fucking contract.
And that deal is dead to me.
And as for you,
you're fucking fired.
Get that.
