Project: High Council (2023) s01e06 Episode Script
Predators
Wait, why are they happy?
So, it's true then.
Kahar's father
did ask the principal to punish
him accordingly. But turns out
he changed his
deal at the last minute.
He's only suspended.
Those alumnis.
Untouchable.
While I'm gone,
you should handle everything.
Interim Kapla.
Me?
-Just don't let anyone die.
I'll get going.
What?
I have wisdom too.
What's with all the bruises?
I fell during recreational
activity yesterday.
I was detained.
It's a regular thing for rugby.
Have a seat.
Why didn't I see you yesterday?
I have homework to do.
Homework? You can do
your homework any time.
But if I call you,
that means you
must come. Understood?
Understood.
Do you understand?
-You're hurting me.
Please, let me go.
Please.
You know I like it
when you cry, don't you?
Remember. If you
didn't come tonight,
you'll get it even
harder. Do you hear me?
Crazy!
Kahar's people are
now scared of you.
Isn't he in Form 4?
Why does he hang out with Kahar?
He's a KELANAI.
'Kelab Anak Alumni'.
They're in the same league,
that's why they hang out together.
What's his name?
What's the matter with you?
Are you a big shot now?
You're in the election and you
don't know your competition?
That's Ariz.
So, I have to go against him?
You even have a chart?
Come on. I am a
cornerman with calibre.
So, you will not go
against Ariz. Do you know why?
You will be against
-Prakash.
Prakash?
-So what does that mean?
That means, be prepared to die.
Hey!
What a shitty cornerman.
You probably don't
want to eat here today.
Why?
-I spitted in the food.
Here, you can eat this.
Where did you get this from?
-I cooked it.
Did you spit in this one too?
Miss, you can give my portion to
him. Let him get double portion.
What letter is that?
It's a letter
from my boyfriend.
Yes, he's from London.
He's English.
He's from the royal family.
Malay girls are head
over heels for him.
Tall, white and a colonizer.
So, how are things
going with your mother?
Are you guys still on bad terms?
You still haven't contacted her?
Hey, are you serious?
What about you then?
You have issues with your dad but
you spit in our food instead.
You are just the same
as my dad. You keep annoying me.
Also, this.
Why did you save me?
But seriously
if you can no
longer stand living here
just leave.
The car is almost done anyway.
No one is forcing
you to stay here, Mia.
Just give me some time.
I can't leave alone.
I'm trying to get
someone to leave with me.
Naim.
-Yes.
Are you free this
Saturday night?
Why?
Do you want me
to sneak you out?
Yes?
Did you eat yet?
Not yet.
-Good.
If you haven't,
don't eat at the dining hall.
Eat at the canteen instead.
-Why?
Did your friend do anything?
Is your standard that low?
I don't even know.
Hey, where are you going?
To the canteen. Your girlfriend
poisoned the whole dining hall.
"Community Store"
Hello.
Hi, Fakhri.
-What are you doing here?
What's wrong with your face?
Fakhri, did you fight again?
What's with all of these?
Why do you have
these in your car?
I'm moving here.
What about your job?
-I quit.
Oh my God!
Oh my God, dad!
Fakhri.
-What for?
You can't just blame me.
Did you forget what
did you do to me last time?
You left me just like that.
But you didn't have to quit
your job because of that.
It's okay, Fakhri.
I just can find other job.
What's important is
that I'm near you and
I want to see Naim
too while I'm here.
Fakhri, what's the matter?
Dad.
Just go.
Just go, dad.
Attention to Nor Fakhri
bin Firdaus Ismet,
and Nor Naim bin Firdaus Ismet.
Please come to the
visitor parking immediately.
Damn it.
Hey, Naim.
There was an announcement
about a visitor for you.
Did you hear it?
Yes, I heard.
Thanks, Jay.
"I can't come. Busy. Sorry."
Fakhri.
What happened to your face?
Do you have any laundry to do?
I can bring it home
and wash it for you.
I don't have any.
Fakhri.
I know that we are
not that close yet.
But are you okay with me
coming here to see you?
Just like this,
every week.
Please give me a chance.
Hey, Form 2!
Form 2, wait!
Hey!
Form 2!
Come here.
Come here.
Look at me.
Hey.
It's okay.
I know.
I know.
I know.
You're safe now, okay.
You're safe.
Mr. Sin.
Something is off.
About?
-These boys.
There's just something
they're not telling us.
I thought we solved the 'why'.
Yes, but everytime I ask
them if they're fine
they just give me all these
reasons that just doesn't
add up.
Like these injuries,
these bruises and
when I asked Fakhri
he said it's from rugby.
Tonight, can you just
check on them when
you're on duty?
Maybe.
No promises.
I need to finish marking these.
Okay.
Where's my key?
Mia!
"Let's go!"
Naim.
Since when do you
know how to sneak out?
I'm not sneaking out.
I'll use the main entrance.
Mia is taking me out.
Mia.
Anyway, Naim
I need to talk to you.
Naim.
-Can't we do it later?
I'm going out.
I'll get ready.
Hey!
You're an animal!
Do you want some too?
Hey, Ariz!
What's the matter?
Amir.
What's wrong
with both of you?
You'll be dead.
-You should die!
Stop it, Ariz!
-I can't let it be.
Stop it, Amir.
Go away!
Where's the boy?
I sent him to his room.
Hey, you can't stop bleeding.
This is too much.
Let's see what we can do.
Amir.
Is there anything
else you didn't tell me?
Do you remember our senior,
Adly Syahrul bin Azam.
He's in Form 5 when
we're in Form 2.
He seemed nice, right?
That year, he used to hang
out with the High Council kids.
He seemed to get along
with the juniors too, right?
He likes coming to
the toilet on our floor.
He said the one on
his floor is crowded.
When the truth was
he wanted to look.
-Look at what?
Look at pretty boys.
Wait. What are
you talking about?
Why didn't I know about it?
What was I doing?
We weren't close yet.
He was nice to me.
He gave me money.
He asked me to hang out.
I was too naive.
Who wouldn't want to hang
out with the Form 5 students?
So I just went along with it.
He always
asked me to hang
out in his room.
I accompanied him to smoke at
the staircase next to the lab.
He was
making me trust him.
We hung out
together for months.
He would ask me to
watch porn with him.
He started to talk
about his girlfriend.
He started talking about
what he did to his girlfriend.
When I was uncomfortable,
he used to tell me
that we're boys.
We have desire. We can't
keep straining ourselves.
Not long after that,
he asked me to
go to the store room.
Then, he asked me
if I trust him.
I was stupid.
I said
I trust him.
Then, he asked me some more.
We're boys,
and it's dangerous to
keep straining our desire.
After that,
he helped me.
He asked me to help him.
It was just an excuse.
He was only helping himself.
We went in there a
couple of times.
I was crying, and I said
I don't want to do it anymore.
But he said I was the
one who agreed to help him.
He was trying to guilt me.
He's a jerk.
I was feeling guilty.
Like an idiot.
Why didn't you report
it to the warden?
Jibam?
Weren't you the one who believe
we should never report anything.
Hey, I thought you're
going out with Mia?
"Where are you?"
Where are you?
-Mia.
Sorry, something came up.
Mia, I'm sorry.
It's fine.
I'm not even ready yet.
Mia.
"DVD/CASSETTE"
Naim, what are you doing?
I'm fixing Fakhri's flower.
-He's really good at it.
You're really good.
-That's enough.
Leave this work for the girls.
Boys can do their work outside.
Go and help them set up the tent.
I want to fix the flowers.
Okay, let's take a picture first.
Hold on.
Okay.
Get in, Fakhri.
Can we see everyone?
One, two, three!
You said at three!
-Okay.
Let's go.
How long has it been?
Are there others?
It's only Ariz.
-Why are you the target?
Maybe because
I'm like this.
That's why he did it.
Damn it!
This is bad.
This is getting out of hands.
This should be a police case.
It's okay.
I think
I will just quit school.
-Why are you the one quitting?
That jerk is the one
who should be expelled.
Amir.
I think we should
report this to the warden.
Naim.
Are you serious?
-He doesn't deserve to be here.
Then, do you think
they're going to stop here?
What if they find
out about High Council?
Do you want to be singled out?
Since when do
you care about this?
Because I know.
I know you care.
-Damn it!
These are the things that
I'll change when I'm at the top.
Whether it's
deliberate or not,
these things only get worse
because of High Council.
If there's no High Council
this thing won't happen.
Just wait when I
finally make it happen.
Danial.
Danial.
Hey, didn't you hear
me calling you?
Hey!
Don't you dare touch this boy.
Since when do you
become his father?
If I was his father, I would
have slaughtered you already.
Wow, so scary.
Please don't fight here.
Just look at his face.
Look into his eyes.
Do you know what
you have done to him?
Do you know what you
have done to him, you rapist!
Naim.
What if the staff heard you?
-But he is a rapist!
Please.
Okay, listen. Why don't
you settle at Manifesto?
Okay.
When?
When's your
blessing session?
It's okay.
I'll bring him up.
He doesn't have to fight me.
You guys can proceed
with the Manifesto.
Okay.
If I win
I want him to get
out of this school.
But if I win?
If you win
I'll go.
I'll go too.
So, how?
If the Kapla agrees.
Interim Kapla.
I agree.
That's the reason
I couldn't come yesterday.
And I'm really sorry for that.
-No.
That was clearly
more important.
Then, have you reported
it to the warden?
Report it to the warden? You
know that's not how it works here.
But this is really messed up.
That's why we're trying
to handle it ourselves.
Handle?
Mia.
Do you trust me?
I trust you so much
that it's annoying.
Okay. If you trust me
let me fix everything.
That's enough.
You don't have to hold me.
So, about our date that
didn't happen last night.
Who said it was a date?
You have to replace it.
Why are you looking at it?
Help yourself.
Did you eat already?
I'm not hungry.
-Not hungry?
Or do you want me to feed
you like when you were litte?
I knew it.
Come here.
My son is a big boy.
My big baby.
Mum, people are watching.
-Open your mouth.
People are watching.
-Let them be.
Come here, open your mouth.
Let me feed you.
Okay.
My baby is now a big boy.
One more time.
-It's okay, mum.
It's fine, mum.
Eat up.
Eat up, honey.
Naim!
Naim!
Naim!
Hey, Naim!
Naim!
Hey, can't you wait for me?
Mum called you many times.
Since when do
you care about her?
The thing about
Ariz, is it true?
Don't try to get involved.
Winnie the Pooh session..
-Manifesto.
Maniretro session..
Manifesto session!
Sorry.
High Council manifesto
session for Tuah and Lekiu.
Three, two, one!
Kahar cancelled the rule
about not hitting the face.
Damn you!
Kahar cancelled
the rule, right?
Do you like doing
it from the back?
Who's the predator now?
You animal!
You jerk!
He's too young!
I don't want to see your face
in this school ever again!
Bastard!
-Naim, that's enough.
Naim, enough!
It's done.
Finished.
Okay? It's done.
It has ended.
Tuah house won!
Wait, where's Danial?
Danial.
Why did you still report it?
I appreciate what
you have done for me.
You helped me.
But after last night,
I was thinking.
We do everything,
we have to face everything,
we sacrificed everything,
just to protect our place.
Is it worth it?
I don't think it's
not worth it at all.
These dates
are all the nights
I was on duty.
I should have been there.
I should have done more.
I should have taken my
responsibility seriously.
It's all my fault.
No.
It's not just you, Mr. Sin.
The school, as an institution,
we, all of us.
We have all failed them.
Hello, mum.
You were right all
along, Puan Faniza.
We need to find out whatever
else they are hiding from us.
We need to know everything.
We need to stop everything.
So, it's true then.
Kahar's father
did ask the principal to punish
him accordingly. But turns out
he changed his
deal at the last minute.
He's only suspended.
Those alumnis.
Untouchable.
While I'm gone,
you should handle everything.
Interim Kapla.
Me?
-Just don't let anyone die.
I'll get going.
What?
I have wisdom too.
What's with all the bruises?
I fell during recreational
activity yesterday.
I was detained.
It's a regular thing for rugby.
Have a seat.
Why didn't I see you yesterday?
I have homework to do.
Homework? You can do
your homework any time.
But if I call you,
that means you
must come. Understood?
Understood.
Do you understand?
-You're hurting me.
Please, let me go.
Please.
You know I like it
when you cry, don't you?
Remember. If you
didn't come tonight,
you'll get it even
harder. Do you hear me?
Crazy!
Kahar's people are
now scared of you.
Isn't he in Form 4?
Why does he hang out with Kahar?
He's a KELANAI.
'Kelab Anak Alumni'.
They're in the same league,
that's why they hang out together.
What's his name?
What's the matter with you?
Are you a big shot now?
You're in the election and you
don't know your competition?
That's Ariz.
So, I have to go against him?
You even have a chart?
Come on. I am a
cornerman with calibre.
So, you will not go
against Ariz. Do you know why?
You will be against
-Prakash.
Prakash?
-So what does that mean?
That means, be prepared to die.
Hey!
What a shitty cornerman.
You probably don't
want to eat here today.
Why?
-I spitted in the food.
Here, you can eat this.
Where did you get this from?
-I cooked it.

Miss, you can give my portion to
him. Let him get double portion.
What letter is that?
It's a letter
from my boyfriend.
Yes, he's from London.
He's English.
He's from the royal family.
Malay girls are head
over heels for him.
Tall, white and a colonizer.
So, how are things
going with your mother?
Are you guys still on bad terms?
You still haven't contacted her?
Hey, are you serious?

It's fine, mum.
Eat up.
Eat up, honey.

Naim!
Naim!
Hey, Naim!
Naim!
Hey, can't you wait for me?
Mum called you many times.
Since when do
you care about her?
The thing about

Kahar cancelled the rule
about not hitting the face.

Finished.
Okay? It's done.

Tuah house won!
Wait, where's Danial?
Danial.
Why did you still report it?
I appreciate what
you have done for me.
You helped me.
But after last night,
I was thinking.
We do everything,
we have to face everything,
we sacrificed everything,
just to protect our place.
Is it worth it?
I don't think it's
not worth it at all.
These dates
are all the nights
I was on duty.
I should have been there.
I should have done more.
I should have taken my
responsibility seriously.
It's all my fault.
No.
It's not just you, Mr. Sin.
The school, as an institution,
we, all of us.
We have all failed them.
Hello, mum.
You were right all
along, Puan Faniza.
We need to find out whatever
else they are hiding from us.
We need to know everything.
We need to stop everything.
