Blood Legacy (2024) s01e14 Episode Script

[Khanyi] Everything is burnt.
The harvest is all gone.
The sugarcane wasn't nearly ripe enough
for it to burn like that.
We've literally lost millions of rands.
[sobbing]
[sniffles]
What would Dad do in this situation?
Why are you asking, my child?
You know very well what he would do
to people who hurt his family.
No, Mom.
But you know I'm not like my father.
Khanyi, you remember how your father was.
He understood that it was rough out there.
That is why he always did
whatever he could
to protect the company and this family.
Mom, I am trying my best to defend
the name of my father and his legacy.
It looks to me like you're destroying it.
Your father always did his duty and
put his family first every time, Khanyi.
But, Mom, you speak of a united family,
but you know my father
didn't want Mandla running this company.
And I won't even talk about Siya.
Dad never bothered with who he was.
To be honest,
Dad's the reason why I left home.
My father pushed me away.
[groaning, grunting]
[Ntombenhle] But this is your mess now.
And you will have to fix it.
[phone ringing]
Yeah?
[Vusi] Our plan worked.
The sugarcane is all burnt down.
[sighs]
[chuckles] That's terrible.
All right. Thanks.
[grunts]
Who was that?
[Mandla] Hmm?
Tomorrow,
Spear will be mine again.
- Oh.
- Mmm.
My investors are going to be so happy
that their money is in very good hands.
In the best hands, madam.
[Khanyi] Love.
The cane fields are destroyed.
We've lost everything.
Come.
[sighs]
[phone ringing]
[ringing continues]
Yeah?
[A6 member] We've done our part.
[sighs] What is it now? What's the rush?
The premier will be here
in Stanger today and tomorrow.
We're only going to ask you for one thing.
Invite her to meet you in Ballito
at the new restaurant called Ngikhona.
Got it?
And we'll do what's needed from there.
Tell me, what do you want to do to her?
That's none of your business.
I need to know what to expect.
No, you don't, my guy.
Then at least tell me this.
If she refuses, what must I do then?
Then you'll have to say your goodbyes
to your daughter, I guess.
Tell her
it's the last time she'll see you.
[Khanyi] I'm exhausted.
It's inconceivable
what's going on right now.
You know, the truck drivers,
they want to meet with you.
I don't know if I can face them.
All the promises I made to them,
I didn't keep.
I promised them life cover.
Where is it?
I promised change too.
So where is it?
I don't blame them for striking.
[sighs] Don't talk like that.
We can still use the rail network.
We can't throw in the towel now.
Khanyi, you know
you did everything in your power.
Let's just go hear what they have to say.
[Meera]
Well, why do you have to go and see her?
I mean, what business do you have
with the premier?
Hi!
I'm Thuli.
Hi. [chuckles]
Um, I thought
you had gone to work already.
Okay, so I was about to leave for work,
but then I saw the most gorgeous pair
of heels right over there
that didn't belong to me.
So, I wanted to stick around
for a little bit and see whose they were.
[Meera chuckles]
It's lovely to meet you.
You too. Meera.
So, how long
have you guys known each other?
Uh, not long.
Okay.
Honestly, I thought that
my dad was about to be single forever.
I should go.
It was so lovely to meet you.
- The pleasure's mine.
- [Mandla stammers]
Bye, Meera.
Dad!
Why are you two
behaving like naughty teenagers?
Why are you pretending everything's okay?
But, Dad, it is fine.
I mean, I know that
Mom's suicide wasn't your fault.
I don't wanna talk about it.
Yes, Dad. But you've been
punishing yourself for so long.
- I know this is what Mom would want
- Thulisile.
I apologize.
I'll go.
[Navi] Congratulations
to our award-winning young talent.
We celebrate your achievements,
and wish you all the best
for all your future endeavors.
Thank you very much.
Good to see you.
- [attendee] Hi, there. How are you?
- Hello. Good. How are you?
- [attendee] Good. Nice to see you.
- I'm glad
Madam Premier. Congratulations.
- A very, very inspiring speech.
- [chuckles]
Mr. Ndlovu.
- [inhales] What a surprise.
- Mmm.
Well, you know, when I heard that you'd be
here, I cleared my diary so I could come.
That's, uh, that's very kind. Thank you.
Well, look. I'd like to talk to you about
a possible opportunity for both of us.
I'm sorry, but my diary's full.
It's about your Young Creatives program.
Look, as I imagine you already know,
I am no longer with Spear.
I'm reinventing myself.
I'm going into e-commerce.
Now, listening to you speak here today,
addressing these fine young people
who are so excited,
I couldn't help but wonder.
Can you really deliver
on what you're promising here today?
To put these young people
on a global stage?
Because I can.
What are your interests with this?
It's a lucrative business
with the potential to make millions
and there's enough room for all of us.
Tell you what. Let me treat you to dinner
at Ngikhona in Ballito,
a youth-based business that will really
appreciate and benefit from our support.
I wish I could, but, uh,
I have a presentation tonight
at a community center.
Thank you for coming.
Goodbye.
Make sure her schedule opens up tonight.
[people clamoring in distance]
[Khanyi] Buhle.
- [Buhle] Thank you so much for coming.
- I'm happy to be here.
I'm here to follow through on my promise.
Thank you.
Please join me inside.
Okay.
[people clamoring]
[Buhle] Can we quiet down, please?
As you may know, we have
been in discussion with the CEO of Spear.
She has made a promise
to speak to us today.
To listen to all our needs.
But let's give the CFO of Spear
the chance to speak.
So, good day, all.
I'm not going to take up
too much of your time,
but I wanted to tell you something.
Your needs have arrived.
From next month, every single person
who drives a Spear vehicle or truck,
will have life insurance.
Not only that,
we're hiring a security company
to guard the drivers on their routes
wherever they may go.
The violence which we saw last month
must never happen again.
It left two little kids without a father.
Ma'am [stammers]
Oh, there she is. MaNkala, ma'am.
We're giving you two scholarships
for your children
so that they can study further
and go to university.
Furthermore, this offer will be extended
to all of the Spear drivers.
All these lovely things
I'm presenting here are, of course,
brought to you by this queen,
Khanyisile Adesina.
She's going to come forward
and say a few words.
[phone ringing]
Kiroshan.
Ma'am, I'm afraid
I have some terrible news.
Your appointment at the community center
has been postponed.
[stammers]
But did they say why?
No, ma'am,
but they should call in with a new date.
Okay. [sighs] Thank you.
[gun clicks]
Well done.
Don't speak of this to anyone.
Speaking for Spear, we're very devoted
to taking care of our workforce.
It's true,
we've made mistakes in the past.
But, moving forward,
to ensure we improve,
we want to learn from those mistakes.
With that said, I thank you.
- [all cheering]
- [person whistles]
Buhle.
Did I do good on my promise?
- And more.
- Thank you.
- It was a total pleasure working with you.
- Likewise.
Thank you.
Thank you to all of you.
[all applauding, cheering]
[ringing]
What the hell do these people
really want from me?
Mmm. I don't know, sir.
I thought I should say to you
that everything went well.
Mmm.
[Navi] Mr. Ndlovu.
[Mandla] Hi. I, uh, thought I would
try and convince you again one more time.
Do forgive me for my persistence.
You're in luck.
My schedule just opened up.
Oh, that's great.
That's fantastic, hey.
I'll see you tonight.
I'll see you there. Thank you.
Goodbye.
I got her to say yes.
She'll be there.
But, uh, I need to know which table.
- [Khanyi] It finally happened.
- Indeed.
- And I wanted you to see it for yourself.
- [chuckles]
- [MaNkala] Khanyi.
- Yes, ma'am?
Thank you so much
for what you did in there.
- I am thankful.
- The thanks is mine.
I really hope that it will give some
measure of peace to you and your family.
Buhle was wrong about you.
No.
This change happened because of Buhle
and because of your family.
- Thank you.
- No, thank you.
[Khanyi chuckles]
Of course the work done here today
will also be newsworthy.
- Some good news for once.
- [both chuckle]
You're doing an incredible job. Beautiful.
It doesn't really matter
what anyone else thinks about you.
You're the one who approved it, Mr. CFO.
How did you pull it off?
You said it was impossible.
You told me not to tell you no.
You were amazing up there.
Thank you so much.
I'll never forget this.
Thank you.
You know [clears throat]
I had to do some budget cuts
in order for us to pull this off, hey.
You have to sign a few documents
in order for the funds to be transferred.
[sighs] I'm exhausted.
It's okay. Tomorrow will suffice.
You know what, Mzilikazi kaMashobane?
Let's do this thing.
Dinner's on me, yeah?
[chuckles]
Sara and her family are about to
file criminal charges against you.
- What?
- I need to know the truth.
Did you fuck her?
- What?
- You heard me, man.
No. No, I already said, Dad. I didn't
I want the truth now.
Because from now on,
there's going to be a nationwide case.
So I need to know.
If this is a lie,
then I'm going to fix it, Nido.
And if it's true,
you need to leave the country.
Just tell me, man.
Are you deaf?
Yes, Dad.
Yes what?
I did.
No, but it wasn't like that, Dad.
It was just a finger.
- I'm telling you, it was just a finger!
- Hey! No! Hey!
There isn't any more time for that.
I'm giving you ten minutes.
Pack up all your shit.
We're going to the airport.
- What?
- You heard me.
Ten minutes to pack.
Be ready when I get back.
- Ten?
- Oh, my God.
But Dad! Dad, wait!
But Dad, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!
- Your wine, sir.
- Yeah.
Thank you.
[Akin] What's the occasion?
Work function.
Mmm. What did you say?
I said work function.
How do
[sighs] I won't be long.
Mr. Ndlovu.
Ah. Madam Premier, thank you for coming.
I'm so glad you could shuffle your diary.
- All right, so I was thinking
- Uh, we can cut the pretenses.
I know why you invited me to dinner.
Oh, yeah?
To repair your public image.
Am I right?
If you really do wanna invest
in my Young Creatives program,
I would be interested.
Are you going to pour me some wine?
Yeah.
Here's two. One, two
Okay, cool.
- Mmm. Good shuffling.
- Pick up and play.
[both chuckle]
Good night, guys.
[Njabulo] Bye-bye.
Sure.
- Ah.
- Mahle.
I said good night.
Aren't we talking?
I waited for you last night.
We had plans.
And I'm sorry.
I saw your messages.
I'm sorry.
Whatever.
Mahle, it's been hectic for me
at work these days,
but I can cancel if you want me to.
Oh, no.
I know how important your work is to you.
Besides, you don't wanna keep him waiting.
What are you talking about, Mahle?
We can always do it tomorrow.
Come, we need to go.
Our plane is waiting in Mozambique.
[Siya sighs]
All right, boy.
It's okay. You can go.
- [Nido stammers]
- Let's go.
It's okay.
Ndleleni.
I love you. Okay, my boy?
I'll always love you.
Come here.
[consultant] Get in.
- [Siya] Mr. M.
- [Mr. M] Mr. Ndlovu.
I'll take care of him.
All right. Thank you.
Hop in. Buckle up.
- [Siya] Gabi.
- [Mr. M] Thanks.
- [door closes]
- [cries]
Let's go.
Yeah.
[engine starts]
[operator] Mr. M. Comms check.
Five-five.
- Okay, seat belts.
- [engine humming]
- Check.
- [Mr. M] Check.
[chuckles]
Where were we?
You were [clears throat]
telling me about your wife.
Oh, yeah.
I never knew you were a widower.
Yeah.
When my husband died,
it almost killed me too.
Sometimes life plays us dirty.
I go back to that day over and over again.
And I ask myself,
what could I have done differently?
Listen, you can trust me.
I know what I'm doing.
- I've been doing this for years
- [doorbell rings]
That collapse had nothing to do with me.
[sighs]
[door lock buzzes, opens]
[door closes]
Ndleleni admitted to doing it.
He's on his way out the country.
I couldn't watch him get arrested.
Yeah.
Oh, I hear you.
Keep perpetuating
the cycle of entitlement, right?
What?
Are you being serious right now?
Um, I'm really sorry, Siya.
It's just that
I actually lost my job today
because of that news article.
What do you mean by that?
Because the police are sure that
the collapse was caused by sabotage.
What?
I mean, Siya
how come you never told me
about that at all?
Oh. Okay, so what about the newspapers?
And them?
No.
I'll give them a call later.
How dare you brush this off, Siya?
Your family pinned this whole thing on me
and you just kept quiet.
Siya, do you understand what
this whole thing is doing to my career?
I can't do this anymore.
Yeah, I'm done.
Listen.
- You can't let this thing come between us.
- No, Siya. No.
You're manipulating me.
Leave me alone, Siya. Just give it up.
Leave!
Okay.
Can I get you some desserts? Coffee?
A double espresso, please.
And a black tea.
Thank you.
I'm not much of a dessert person.
[Mandla sighs]
Is everything fine?
You good for time?
[people screaming]
