Blood Legacy (2024) s01e13 Episode Script
Fight or Flight
[grunts, pants]
[A6 leader] The terms and conditions
I spoke about are:
out of every ten trucks
that belong to Spear,
three of those will be
transporting some of our products.
[grunts]
[panting]
[chuckles]
Yeah?
[sighs]
I'd like to accept your offer.
Uh, sorry, what?
I said that
I would like to accept your offer.
- Oh. [chuckles]
- Mmm.
Okay. Yeah, nice.
When I call you, you answer me.
Welcome to the family.
[interviewer] It's frightening
what the youth of today get up to.
Please don't tar and feather
these individuals
before the whole story has been heard.
A lot is still to be revealed.
[interviewer] The richest in the country
act with impunity.
Do you think they will
You shouldn't be watching that stuff.
You know, you don't have to go back
to school if you're not ready, right?
I don't wanna hide.
I shouldn't have to,
I didn't do anything wrong.
- [phone chimes]
- [sighs]
Go and grab your bag.
We need to leave.
[Dumisani] The workers are striking again.
They even locked the security guards in.
We still haven't given them
life insurance.
The banks are the problem now.
- They're collecting all their money.
- I thought we still had time.
That's when they still trusted
this business though.
In this situation,
it is very important to have liquidity.
We're going to need
to find things to sell.
We only have the hotels at the moment.
Just relax.
Wait, Brother.
- Dad.
- [gasps]
Where were you?
I was worried sick about you.
Hey. You're the child,
you can't ask me that.
But, Dad, I was just concerned.
It's been a few days.
- [sighs]
- Were you with a woman?
What woman?
I noticed two wine glasses
the other morning and just wondered.
Hey, Dad, come on.
I want to see you move on.
Okay. Yeah, I was with her.
Okay.
Well, I'd like to meet her one day.
No, Thuli. I don't
Don't think that's a good idea.
[sighs] Okay. Well,
could I at least have her name?
Her name is
Meera.
Hmm.
Meera. Okay.
Don't forget that these hotels
are the backbone of this company.
- And you wanna sell?
- [Khanyi] Siya, my hands are tied.
We're going to need a way out.
You're saying, "we".
What do you mean by saying, "we"?
You fired Mandla,
you canceled the construction contracts.
[Thulisile clears throat] Hello, everyone.
I I just wanted to know,
from a legal standpoint,
what our official stance
is with the statue collapse.
The report said it was sabotage, right?
[Siya] We can't say that.
We'll be under so much pressure
if we mention that.
And when the banks and companies
find out about this, they'll pull out.
And not to mention the fact
that we do run a risk of being sued.
We failed to provide
adequate security measures.
- [Khanyi sighs]
- She's right.
[Khanyi sighs]
Mmm.
What do we do now?
Um, how about poor workmanship?
I just think we can run with that.
[sighs]
That will only put Lungelo's business
in jeopardy.
[Thulisile] But it'll save ours.
And there's nothing we can do now.
So now we're just going to
frame the artist when he's in the clear?
Okay.
Siya, my brother.
[students whispering, mumbling]
Ah. Why is she showing her face?
[Lukhanyo] Hey. Amahle.
I thought you'd be home.
Ugh. No, I got tired of staying home.
Plus, I did nothing wrong anyway.
Exactly.
Just forget about them.
Remember,
soon another scandal will come along
and we'll forget about this.
Yeah.
So, I'll see you after school?
Yeah.
Amahle.
I've missed you.
I missed you too. [chuckles]
You can't tell me
that leaving the country is not an option,
when you've done it for the Rolands
and the Steenhuisens.
That was for tax evasion and fraud, not
- Not for a rape.
- Alleged.
Sister, please give us a moment.
Can you, my dear? Thanks.
There is no proof.
There's the question of the video.
There must be another option. All right?
There is.
There is an alternative solution.
If you're willing to consider it.
[teacher] Okay, guys.
Remember, degrees of comparison
- remain the same every year.
- Hey, go.
[teacher]
So adjectives can take on three forms.
Seriously?
- Which indicates the strength of the noun.
- [students chuckles]
Grow up!
[teacher]
The positive degree: The cat runs fast.
[students laugh]
Stop it!
[teacher] Miss Amahle.
Do we have a problem?
- He's recording me.
- Sit down instantly.
- Yeah. Sit down.
- [students laugh]
- [grunts]
- [students gasp]
Miss Amahle. Principal's office. Now!
Ma'am?
- [object clatters]
- [students chattering]
- [Khanyi] Mzilikazi kaMashobane.
- [Dumisani] Mmm?
If I let Lungelo take the fall,
what does that say about me?
You're the family business' guardian.
[chuckling] You're just being charming.
[Clarissa] Khanyi.
Hope we're not interrupting anything.
[Khanyi] Of course
you're not interrupting anything.
I'm just surprised you guys are here.
Clarissa, thank you so much.
[chuckles] It's amazing
how the two of you look so similar.
She looks like a younger version of you.
Exactly like back then.
Really?
'Cause I actually think
I look more like my dad.
- You might need to get your eyes checked.
- Amahle, sweetheart.
Mind your tongue. Don't be rude.
No, it's fine.
I'm used to this from Njabulo.
You see,
my father used to work for the family.
Your mom and I spent
a lot of time together when we were kids.
Hmm. So you grew up together.
You didn't tell me that before.
Of course, love. You know that.
But then, Dumi has a lot of work to do.
Um, have a lovely day.
Thank you.
What are you guys doing here?
We will leave the country
on a private jet, rented.
I will procure new ID documents, papers.
We will travel through multiple countries
until we reach Mauritius,
where you can contact him.
And what happens when, uh, the
international police are looking for him?
There'll be no trail.
I will be with him the entire time.
But I will require 200,000 rand up-front.
Followed by three months' expenses.
Three months?
How long is this whole thing gonna take?
[consultant] This may take
some time to clear up, ma'am.
Enough.
Thank you for meeting us.
But I don't think
we'll be needing your services anymore.
Siya. Mr. Ndlovu,
this is a difficult process.
- Let's give Mr
- But I said no.
- Thank you for your time, sir.
- [consultant] All right.
Let me know if you change your mind.
Have a nice day.
[sighs]
- I got suspended.
- What?
- Damage of private property.
- Amahle.
- She smashed somebody else's phone.
- He deserved it.
- Amahle!
- He was recording me.
It doesn't matter what he deserved or not.
You know, ever since we came here,
you've barely been around.
I've had to go through all of this alone.
What happened to
being there for each other?
[Akin sighs]
I'm so sorry, my baby.
- I don't condone what you did.
- [breathes shakily]
But you're right.
I've been absent.
And I'm sorry. Okay?
I'll tell you what.
Why don't we have a date night, you and I?
We'll watch a movie.
And put on our face mask.
Would you like that?
Yeah. That would be nice.
And when we get home,
we'll talk to each other.
About all of this.
Let's go. Let's go home.
Come here.
I cannot believe that you just
sent him off. Just like that.
[pants] That could've been
our only option.
No, that cannot be our only option.
If Ndleleni would think for a minute,
and admit to what he did,
the Cele's might forgive him.
Do you want our child to go to jail?
No, I don't. But what are we teaching him
by running away?
He clearly abused that girl.
He did nothing to that girl! Nothing!
How?
If that video wasn't leaked, Siya,
she would've never known.
You're out of line because Amahle
is totally innocent in all of this.
You know what?
He is my boy.
And I will forever safeguard Nido.
Mahle.
Look here.
[Amahle] What are you doing?
- Nido, what the hell?
- [Nido] Amahle!
- [Nido] Okay, okay.
- [Amahle] Get off! Get out!
- Go away!
- [sighs] Yeah.
- Get the hell out of here
- Now at least people will know
- you were actually helping.
- [Nido] Okay, okay!
- Yeah, but who's doing this?
- [phone chimes]
What should I do?
[sighs]
[sighs]
Mahle, text her back.
Khanyi, we found a buyer for the hotel.
The problem is, we don't have much time.
Have you?
The Arabs we met with the other day.
They are still interested?
Even after the disaster with the statue?
The father isn't interested,
but the son is ready to meet with us.
[chuckles] Okay. Let's go.
[phone chimes]
[Khanyi] Brother.
I am going to sell Coastal Hotel.
But if you've got a better option,
I'll take it.
Let's save Spear.
- Brief me on those numbers, quickly.
- [Dumisani] We need 50 million rand.
With that amount, we'll be able
to settle in full our bigger debts.
Copy. I can do this.
Mr. Murad,
thank you for seeing me so swiftly.
I'm sorry this is what
your grand opening has resulted in.
Sorry, guys, I'm late.
What are you doing here? Can we talk?
No, thanks. There's no need.
I got your message.
I'm not selling you our hotel.
- Siya.
- Let me finish.
[Khanyi] Mm-hmm.
Instead, I can give you half of the hotel.
We stay on as a silent partner.
Then you'll have access to me
as an expert in this country.
And that, in the end, will save you
a whole lot of stress and money.
Why would I buy half
when I could get the whole thing?
Granted.
But what my brother is offering you
is much more.
His advice is invaluable.
No, Murad would never agree
to these terms.
But I would.
Your father has left you
in a difficult position.
- [sighs]
- You need money.
Now how much?
Fifty million rands.
100 million as a staff loan.
You will have 30 days
to pay me back in full.
But this is not just
for the Coastal Hotel.
If you don't pay me back,
you keep the money.
And I keep all of the hotels.
Khanyi, a word, please.
Just a moment.
He's starting to sound crazy.
We can't sell all the hotels
for 100 million.
- You know they're worth much more.
- Brother.
They used to be that.
- With this scandal?
- [sighs]
We don't have a choice.
We need the money.
And what happens if we can't pay him back?
Don't worry, Brother.
[Khanyi] 150 million rands.
125, and I cancel the meeting
with the Atlas Group.
[Khanyi] 140.
Our hotels are much better than theirs,
and what you're offering us is below par.
And we need the money in 48 hours.
Done.
Expect the agreement in your inbox
later tonight, and we are in business.
- To business.
- To business.
To business.
[knocks on door]
[Mrs. Cele] Sara.
Are you up for a visitor?
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Okay.
Don't stand there.
Just sit down. It's unnerving.
How have you been?
That's a stupid question.
I don't even remember the most of it.
And when I
When I saw the video,
I didn't even think it was me.
But when I go to sleep or close my eyes,
I relive the entire thing.
It's like I'm out of my body,
watching everything.
Him climbing on top of me.
- Them laughing.
- [laughing]
[friend] Yes, boy. Yes, boy.
[Sara crying] And I'm shouting.
Begging him to stop.
But it didn't.
It didn't work, Amahle.
Because I was shouting on the inside.
Why?
Why did I drink so much?
- [crying] I don't know, Amahle.
- No. Sara.
This was not your fault.
Okay? Does not matter
how much you had to drink.
They are just entitled dicks
who thought they could do
whatever they wanted to you.
[sobbing]
Okay?
[Sara sighs]
My parents say I I should report him.
So there'll be consequences
for what he did wrong
and he certainly won't be able
to do it again.
But you know what happens to women
who accuse men, Amahle, of rape,
on social media.
What should I do now?
I can't answer that for you, Sara.
It's a decision
you're gonna have to make for yourself.
But whatever you do decide
I'll be here for you.
Thank you.
[sighs]
[Khanyi] Hey, love.
My mom said she saw some smoke
coming out. I'm just going to check.
I'm sure it's nothing, really.
[sucks teeth]
- Stop the car. Stop, stop, stop!
- [driver] Ma'am, ma'am, please!
- Don't get out! Please, don't get out!
- Just stop the Just stop the damn car!
Oh, fuck!
No!
Oh, fuck!
