Project: High Council (Projek: High Council)

Naim, what are you doing? -I'm decorating the flowers.

What about you, Fakhri? -I'm doing this.

He's doing it rough, like his face too.

Hold on. Okay.

Everyone, get in.

One, two, three!

Papa!

Papa!

Papa! -Fakhri.

I love you, Fakhri.

I love you so much.

I love you Fakhri.

Papa!

Hey!

Wake up. What's the matter? Are you homesick?

Kahar really beat you up.

It's been a month and you can still see the bruises.

Hey, it tickles.

Hurry up! The warden. will be here in 2 minutes.

What?

I'm dead.

This is Tuah.

This is Lekiu, this is Lekir.

Every house has a nominee.

Only Kasturi has none. People think this batch of Kasturi is like...

...this cucumber. Lame and weak.

Only you can change everything.

Why is there no Jebat? -Because we have Kasturi.

What?

How can you join this school when you are so stupid?

You only know the mainstream history. Try read more into it.

The story goes like this. There are two opinions on...

...who was the one committing treason.

In the Malay history, it was Hang Kasturi.

In the story of Hang Tuah, it was Hang Jebat.

For your information, Hang Tuah's story was released a century...

...after the Malay history. Many historians suspected...

...that Jebat and Kasturi is actually the same person.

So, Kasturi's name was changed to Jebat after he rebelled.

If you want to join the election,...

...you need to be blessed by the High Council from your house. Who?

It's Kahar. Do you think Kahar is willing to bless you?

Unlike Naim. Even his fight with Fahmi was staged.

He has already been blessed by Kahar.

Then, what should I do?

You must force him to bless you.

You must defeat him, and your name will be in the tournament list.

So I should fight against Naim? -Isn't it better?

You don't want to be fighting with Prakash.

Prakash?

Blood is thicker than water.

I trust you all have heard of this proverb before.

But what if I tell you that this quote, is actually a misquote.

The full idiom actually says,...

... Blood of the covenant...

...is thicker than the water of the womb.

Which means, the relationship that you choose to pursue...

...is stronger than the familial ties that you already have.

Which is the direct opposite of what the shorter,...

...more popular quote actually means.

So, I would like to ask you.

Which of this, rings truer to you?

I have my own preference, of course. But I'd like to know...

...what you think.

Anyone?

I prefer, blood is thicker than water.

Because I believe any differences that we have as a family,...

...in the end, we're still a family.

Okay, Naim. Thank you.

Anyone else?

Prakash!

What about you?

Come on, Prakash. I rarely hear you speak.

Try for this.

I'd rather not, teacher. Sorry.

Come on, Prakash. You must have an opinion.

Do share with us.

Prakash.

Neither, teacher. I believe in neither.

There is no covenant. There is no family.

You only have you.

I kind of like Prakash.

You like him?

We'll see if you still like him after he beat you up.

What's that?

They have set the time. -For the election?

Yes. Green and green.

Prakash and Zahrin, High Council Lekir. For the blessing ritual.

Are you only eating that?

Eat more. You're going to need more protein to fight me.

What's the matter?

Is it not raw enough for you?

Do you need more blood?

Hey, guys. Stop it.

That's enough. What's wrong?

He's weak.

Zahrin. This isn't funny.

Hey, relax.

You were right, Hakeem.

Naim has a soft heart.

Who are you saying soft?

You are kind of cool.

The way you defended that boy.

Have you always been checking on me?

133, 134, 135.

Hey, that's enough!

Are you going to push him until he's injured?

If he's injured, Prakash can easily defeat him.

Do you want someone like Prakash to win?

Do you want him to be the leader of High Council?

I want you to remember one thing.

This school belongs to our people.

It's ours!

Do you understand that?

Why didn't you do anything? Why can't you protect him?

If no one stepped out, who will decide the winner?

Kahar. -Even if he's fighting too?

Yes. That's why I need you to defeat him.

Make him unconscious. A clear and undisputed victory.

Damn.

If Prakash wants to win, he needs to do the same thing too.

High Council blessing ritual...

...Lekir house.

Three, two, one!

Zahrin.

Wake up, you idiot.

Zahrin!

Hey, Zahrin!

Zahrin!

Wake up, you silly!

Hey, Zahrin!

Zahrin!

Hey, Zahrin!

High Council nominee...

...Lekir...

...is blessed.

I'm going to die.

I'm really going to die.

If I have to go against Prakash I will surely die.

What do you mean? I thought you liked him.

Attention to Nor Fakhri bin Firdaus Ismet.

Please come to Kudrat Square as your mother is waiting for you.

Hold on. Isn't your mother.....

Oh no!

Have you been well, Fakhri?

Where do you guys live now?

I understand,...

...if you prefer staying with dad.

It took time, but I have accepted it.

But that doesn't mean that...

...you can't come and see me.

We still have a relationship, right?

Give me a chance.

Okay?

Okay?

I heard the announcement just now.

Your mum...

...came to see Fakhri?

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Okay? -I'm okay.

So, your mum wants you to come to her place this school break?

Naim's house.

This is such a drama material.

Does your father know about this?

I thought you were going to your dad's house this break.

Aren't you going back to Sarawak?

Dude, the flight ticket is expensive.

Besides, when will I get to feel like I own the school?

It's when you guys are out of here.

Fakhri.

Hey!

What's the matter? Are you okay?

Look, I'm not trying to pry. I'm just curious.

What actually happened to your family?

Dad, it hurts!

See, this is what happens if you're being naughty.

Stop it. It hurts. -Serves you right.

Why did you even get in a fight?

Dad, they were calling you a sissy.

Fakhri!

Stay still.

Stay still, Fakhri. -No, dad. It hurts.

Dad, I don't want it.

Just stay still.

Idah.

Mum!

Look at his hair. It's covered with gum.

Oh my god. It has harden.

I was going to cut it. -You don't need to cut it.

Just put olive oil over it.

Oh, dear!

Naim, didn't you take care of your brother?

If we leave it to your dad, you will be bald soon.

You get a drumstick.

Thank you, dad.

It smells good.

Idah.

I was going to let it sit in the water. Just leave it.

Let me wash it.
