Blood Legacy (2024) s01e10 Episode Script

[reporters clamoring]
- Can I get an interview?
- [reporter 1] Ma'am!
[reporter 2] Mrs. Gatsheni! Smile!
[reporter 3] Okay, let's get a photo
with the whole family.
Mom, why are you ignoring my calls?
Khanyi, this is certainly not
the time and place for that.
- [Nido] I wanna be in front, wait.
- [Khanyi] Thank you.
[laughs]
[Nido] Yeah.
- Thuli. Look at you.
- I am jealous, Auntie. You look so good.
- Amazing.
- [Khanyi] Mmm.
[Thuli] Amahle, you look so cute!
What do you think
about your sister becoming the new CEO?
What everyone else is thinking.
- [chuckles] Not much.
- [Ntombenhle] Mandla.
And what do you think
about tonight's event?
I'm pretty sure that tonight
is going to be a night to remember.
[interviewer] Thank you.
- [guests clamoring]
- [dance music playing]
Buhle?
Wow. It's good to see you again.
How are you?
- What are you doing here?
- Zakhele asked me to lend a hand
- with tonight's event.
- Mmm.
He said no to me.
Well then, that must mean your aunt
has stronger powers of persuasion.
MaDlamini, what more should we expect
from the Ndlovu family?
As you know, I have very talented
and gifted, capable children.
- So, um
- Excuse me. Sorry, Mommy.
- Can I just have a word with my mother?
- Sure.
Thank you.
[sighs]
Mom, I need to talk to you.
Khanyi, there's only one thing
I asked you for.
No, Mom.
You can't just ambush me
at the dinner table
and expect me to roll over.
You always bicker, but your brother
can help you.
You won't be able to run this company
yourself anyway.
Mandla tried to stop this opening tonight.
He doesn't care about anyone.
All he cares about is himself.
And being in power.
I don't want to hear
anymore of this from you.
I would be lying if I said
I don't like what I'm seeing.
I still don't understand what possessed
your mother to give this position to her.
- Ah, you have nothing to worry about.
- [Thuli] Good evening, Auntie.
Can I please steal Dad
for a couple of seconds?
Grab away. He's your bank.
Well, apparently Zakhele's here.
- Then where is he?
- He's in the kitchen.
Mother, please. I'm asking you.
Please will you support me?
[scoffs] What do you mean?
Support you? How?
Khanyisile, you're the one
who abandoned me.
- I was just a child, Mom.
- And them?
They were also just children.
But they stayed,
and supported your father.
They stayed and loved us
through and through.
[sniffles] But Mom, I love you too.
The truth hurts.
What I realize is that you're acting
as if you're more important
than the rest of us.
- [guests clamoring]
- [dance music playing]
Hi. It looks good, you know?
- Mmm.
- It's really beautiful.
Behave yourself, my good sir.
- Okay.
- Or did you forget who is here tonight?
She agreed that you should be here
for the unveiling of the statue.
[Ntombenhle] Ooh, this statue.
Oh, it actually turned out beautifully.
Hey, let's take a picture.
Where is that photographer now?
- There he is.
- Oh.
- Oh, yeah, thank you.
- [Ntombenhle] Uh,
tell me, do you know my daughter-in-law?
- Uh, no.
- [Ntombenhle] I mean, Siyanda's wife.
Mom, no he doesn't.
[Ntombenhle] Um, Gabi,
come over here, my baby.
[Gabisile] Wifey is here. [chuckles]
- [Siya sighs]
- [Gabisile chuckles]
[Gabisile chuckles]
Love, can you please
- pass me the starters, there.
- Coming now.
- [grunts] There you go.
- Thanks.
[Buhle] Hey, look at you go. [chuckles]
This is what I do.
[Buhle] Zakhele.
[Mandla] What the hell?
Is that my father's bracelet?
[Buhle] It's nice to see you again, sir.
What is this on your wrist?
- [stammers] I got it from
- [Zakhele] Auntie gave it to her
as a promise to make things right
with the drivers.
Take it off right now.
No.
I got it from the CEO of Spear,
and it's going to remain on my wrist
until she does what she promised.
- Mm-mmm.
- Dad.
Buhle, let's go.
[Mandla] How could she
do something like this?
You'll have to ask her that.
I actually wanted to talk to you.
What are your intentions with my brother?
I know that Zakhele
can be quite the dreamer
so I don't want anyone
to take advantage of him.
- I'm not taking advantage of anyone.
- No, of course not.
It's just that I care,
and I just don't want to see him get hurt.
Yet you choose to side with the man
that beat him
after his mother committed suicide.
[scoffs, sucks teeth]
He said that?
Do you think your brother
doesn't share everything with me?
Oh, no. I'm sure you guys talk.
Your brother loves you
but let's not fool each other by acting
like family is always what's best.
[Zakhele] What can I do for you?
Do you dance to your aunt's tune now?
She's the one that helped me
when I needed it most.
Where were you?
If you allowed me, Zakhele,
I would help you as well.
With anything, whenever you need it.
Let's talk about Buhle's dad then.
He died while slaving for your company.
You couldn't send a message.
You couldn't send flowers.
You didn't do anything for MaNkala.
Because I thought you wanted
nothing to do with me.
Well, then, hey, sorry.
That was my mistake.
I didn't know you had to be reminded
to have compassion.
It's like you have no love left in you.
All you ever do is cause trouble,
lie to people.
I will not end up like my mother, Mandla.
Zakhele.
Do you think it's easy on me
waking up every day without your mother?
It was good to see you, Dad.
Can I get back to work now?
- [sniffles]
- [Dumisani] MaGatsheni.
What's going on? Why are you out here?
I was a fool to come back.
Your mother has been leaning on Mandla
for so long that he's now all she knows.
It's not just Mandla.
Then what?
[sniffles]
She told me how she felt about me leaving.
What?
She will never forgive me.
No.
[breathes shakily]
No.
[sighs]
[gasp] I've got to go.
- What are we doing?
- Khanyi.
- [sniffles]
- Khanyi.
- [guests clamoring]
- [dance music playing]
[Nido] Um, Lungelo?
Lungelo Blanco, right?
Yeah.
I'm a big fan of your work, sir.
I mean, I saw you at my grandpa's funeral,
and I was so surprised
to see you there, you know.
And then I also saw you
in my dad's hotel magazines,
I was like, "What? That's super dope!"
- Nido.
- you've got going on there? So perfect
- Yeah?
- Go play with your friends.
- Okay, Ma. I just want to
- Now.
Okay.
[Gabisile] You come here
wearing a cheap suit and lingerie.
[scoffs]
Listen here, sister.
You know you don't scare me one bit.
Let me make it clear to you, Gabisile.
[sighs]
Do you see that sculpture?
That's me and your man.
Our man. [chuckles]
At the center of this whole hotel
for everyone to see.
A physical representation
of what we share,
of which, Gabisile, you can never relate.
[chuckles]
Please look over there, brother.
That's a physical representation of love.
Something you could never have.
So, brother,
if I ever see you with my child again,
I am going to enjoy
cutting your balls off.
Have a great night.
[Nido] Let's go get wild.
Come on, let's go.
- [friend 1 whooping]
- [Nido] Yeah.
- [friend 2] Yeah!
- [all cheer]
Uncle!
- Njabulo, how are you?
- I'm good, thanks Uncle, and you?
Yeah, I'm good.
Uh, I actually miss you
coming to practice.
And the coach has been impossible lately.
Andrew is who he is, but he's one of
the best coaches in this country.
No. Uncle, I'm actually trying my best.
Like, Pandora and I are fine.
It just feels like
that guy is waiting for me to fuck up.
Njabulo,
I would love to be there for you, son.
But I, uh I have to step back a bit.
Your mother made it very clear.
No, don't listen to her.
She's your mother.
I can't do anything about it.
You need to learn
to stand up for yourself.
- Understood?
- [Njabulo] Yes.
Show that you are a Gatsheni.
You're a Ndlovu.
- No, but
- Hey! Hey.
- You are a Ndlovu.
- Yeah.
- Understood?
- Yeah.
That's a good boy.
Hey, coz.
Here you go.
You know, Nido,
I think you really need to slow down.
You're going to get drunk, dude.
We're having a party, all right?
When you're with me,
you're getting buck wild.
So drink up, let loose,
and let's have fun!
- Yeah, well
- Let's go!
Some of us don't need to "drink up"
in order to have a good time.
- And why did you even invite these people?
- Because Dad said I could.
And also, I don't want to look at
your grumpy face the whole night.
So, no. That's not happening.
- No. You just need to take a shot
- Dad!
You came.
[laughs] I've missed you.
Where is your mother?
- Oh, she doesn't know you're here?
- I wanted to surprise her as well.
[host, through speakers]
Now to the podium,
- the CEO of Spear Industries.
- [crowd applauds]
The beautiful Ms. Khanyi Adesina.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome.
And thank you for joining us
in celebrating 25 years of Spear.
Firstly, and foremost,
I'd like to congratulate my brother, Siya,
for this spectacular achievement.
And as I'm standing here,
two things are very clear to me.
One is that I belong here with my family.
And secondly,
that only united as a family,
we can move forward.
I hope, together, we can uphold
and honor the legacy of Gatsheni.
The legacy our father
fought for so hard before he died.
May we go on another 25 years.
- [crowd applauds]
- Thank you.
That was beautiful.
[laughs] Oh, you came!
- Of course I did.
- Well, thank you so much.
Mmm.
Wherever my wife is these days,
you're not far behind.
[chuckles]
Hey! [chuckles]
Hey, listen. Let's go join
the other kids downstairs.
I heard there's a vibe
happening down there.
Hey, man. What happened?
You just change your mind all of a sudden?
You will not believe it, dude.
Uncle is finally talking to me again.
Really, Njabulo.
There are bigger problems.
Hey, Amahle. No, man.
Why are you so uptight? Come.
- Let's go, man.
- Okay.
Ah, see this? This is what I like to see.
My cousins having a good time! Let's go!
Yeah! You know what it is.
We're Ndlovus, after all. [chuckles]
Hey.
You know what?
Girl, you're actually not too bad. Hmm?
You look amazing, girl.
- Okay, give me some love. Come [grunts]
- Oh.
- Are you still not talking to me?
- [sighs]
We did it.
You and me together.
Yeah, it's okay.
And I guess your speech helped.
It's all true.
We are family. We need to stick together.
- Does that mean that we need Mandla?
- No, we don't need Mandla.
- Why not?
- Because we can do this together.
[Mandla] Wow.
You guys look great.
Congratulations, Sister.
The event was a success.
Oh, and the speech. [clicks tongue]
- Wow.
- The event was a success.
Despite your interference.
My interference? What do you mean?
Keep going like you have been,
and we'll all turn against you.
Ah.
So it's turned into "us" and "we" now?
All of a sudden?
With this traitor who left us behind?
Now she's taken our father's bracelet
and given it to
that truck driver's daughter.
Stop it.
Our sister here has no loyalty.
She doesn't know the meaning of the word.
At the end of the day, she's our sister.
Maybe you're the one who can't be trusted.
[Mandla] The two of you
need to remember one thing.
Stand together, fall together.
[Siya sighs]
- [laughs] It's just drama.
- [Njabulo] Yeah, I'm telling you.
Uh-uh, Njabs.
Are we actually allowed to be here?
Yeah, dude.
Look, this is Uncle's hotel. Yeah?
So this isn't Things are different.
This is not Cape Town.
Let's just go have fun.
Let's go. Come on. [chuckles]
[dance music playing]
Welcome to Keeping Up with the Ndlovus,
where we get to see
how the rich and famous celebrate.
The drinks are flowing.
We continue with the lifestyles
of the rich and famous
as we tour this beautiful suite.
As you can see, it's giving.
Now, let's go see
what's behind this door. Ooh.
What are you doing?
- [Nido] Amahle.
- Nido, what the hell?
- [Nido] Oh, my word! Whoa!
- [Amahle] Get off! Get out!
- Get out of here! Get out!
- Get out!
Sara.
- Nido, get Get out! Go!
- Okay! I'm going, Amahle. Okay!
Sara.
Sara?
Sara?
Sara?
