[Erfan] Great-grandmother Fathimah. Grand-uncle Aziz.

20 YEARS AGO

Grand-auntie Zainab.

Hmm... Who else?

Why don't you ask your grandfather?

Erfan! Father! Let's play football!

Later, Dannial. I'm doing my homework right now.

[Dannial grunts]

[Pauziah gasps] Dannial, don't be naughty.

[adults laughing]

Grandma, just look at Dannial.

Goodness. Dannial is still a kid.

We have to be patient with him.

[pensive music playing]

[Jaafar] They have these newfangled DNA tests now.

If I have time left in me,

I will try to map out a full family tree.

GRANDMA MARIAM, GRANDPA JAAFAR DADDY SIDDIQ

[melodramatic theme music playing]

MARIAM BT YOUSSEF 11 DECEMBER 1960 - BOY

[theme music ends]

[pensive music playing]

I have the DNA results.

Can I kiss your hand?

Can I?

[pensive music continues playing]

I'm sorry.

I will be filing a case in court

to prove who I really am.

[Siddiq] And now, I'm ready

to come back to work

as the Group CEO of Kergara.

[applause]

I would like to thank Madam Amira,

who has served

with full commitment as interim CEO in my absence.

I am also eternally grateful to my eldest son,

Erfan,

who has continued to give his all at Kergara,

despite facing personal challenges in his personal life.

And now, I would like to invite Erfan

to share his latest news with you all.

Erfan.

Thank you, Father.

What's your intention in telling me you want to drag my son to court?

I would like to ask for your blessing.

I'm sincere in wanting to prove our true relationship,

and I want to fix all that went wrong in the past.

Maybe it's too late.

I have an important announcement to make.

I would like to announce

that I will be resigning from my role as CEO of Kergara Real Estate,

as well as all other duties

related to the company.

Are you ill, Mr Erfan?

As my father said earlier,

I am the eldest son of Tan Sri Siddiq bin Jaafar

with the late Pauziah binti Aedeel.

However,

I am the illegitimate child of Tan Sri Siddiq...

-Illegitimate? -...and my late mother.

Ah, that's all I have to say today.

-[reporter 1] Mr Erfan! -[reporter 2] Erfan!

[reporters clamouring] Erfan! Erfan!

[reporter] You just found out about it?

Parents are the ones who care for you in childhood.

And I truly love my mother.

She worked herself half to death to raise me on her own.

But I can't lie and say I don't feel something when we talk.

[soft music playing]

[Hamzah breathing shakily]

I just want the chance to get to know my biological mother.

Maybe, this is my second chance

to care for my heaven.

[Siddiq] Erfan has made his decision.

As the Group CEO, I have to accept it.

But I can't deny that I'm disappointed.

Erfan is a superstar CEO

who has always done his job exceptionally well.

[reporter] How is your relationship with Erfan?

I'm extremely proud of my son.

I kept this secret only because

I did not want to humiliate my late wife.

[cameras clicking]

My son is innocent.

[reporters] Who will be taking over Kergara Real Estate?

That's enough for today. Thank you.

It's okay.

For now,

I myself will lead Kergara Real Estate

while we search for a suitable replacement CEO.

Trust me,

Kergara will continue to thrive

as it always has.

Thank you.

Tan Sri, I have a question.

Idiot! I sent him to study at the best places,

but he's still an idiot!

Sid, you did want him to resign.

His statement could affect the business!

[sighs]

I'm not sure it will do anything at all.

Yes, you're right.

It was an emotional outburst from an immature boy.

At the end of the day, I'm the one who built Kergara.

Exactly. The market may even prefer you to take it all over.

Kergara is you, Sid.

Not Erfan. Not Dannial.

You.

I'm puzzled though

as to why Erfan didn't mention the toxic waste spill.

He was so angry about it the other day.

Don't worry.

Let me do some digging. Find out his plans.

[unsettling music playing]

[alarm buzzing]

[phone pings]

My lawyers have filed a charge

of misappropriation of property by Tan Sri Siddiq bin Jaafar.

Tan Sri Siddiq

has not only abused his power at Kergara Group,

but also concealed his background

and my true identity.

I, Hamzah bin Asmadi,

am the one and only true child

of the late Datuk Jaafar

bin Ariffin,

and his wife,

Datin Mariam binti Youssef.

[unsettling music playing]

Sara Natasya is my true child,

and I will ensure

we get to claim our rights that have been denied all this while.

We can release a statement saying Hamzah's claims are baseless.

Mira,

even if it remains just gossip...

It could affect Kergara's reputation. I know.

-We can countersue him? -Yes.

We can countersue for defamation.

Ask for millions

because he cannot prove he is the son of Datuk Jaafar.

Meanwhile, we spin the story for the press.

"Respected Tan Sri slandered by scumbag gangster."

[Amira laughs]

You saw it?

I don't know what to believe.

[Elis sighs]

Poor Uncle Siddiq.

I mean, even if it's not true,

it really affects his reputation.

But then, what if it is true?

Wouldn't you want to know who is your real family?

My father is still my father.

Unfortunately.

Poor Dannial then.

Why do you feel sorry for Dannial?

He really liked Natasya.

Come on. I don't need to tell you what he's like with women.

[pensive music playing]

Natasya. Natasya, hold up!

Hold up!

What do you want? You know who I am, right?

I don't know who you are, actually. What's your name?

Natasya? Sara? Liar!

[groans]

[Dannial laughing]

So, you're a superhero now?

What's your name, huh? The Incredible, is it?

Hey, I'm not done talking to you.

[panting]

It's time you found out who your father really is.

What are you blabbering about?

Your dad's a gangster, and you want to blame my dad?

Your father is the reason my father went to jail.

And then your whole family looked down on him like he was nothing.

Hey, I'm not talking about your father.

I'm talking about you!

You used me!

You think I'm a loser too!

[Dannial groans]

[groaning]

I don't want to ever see your face again.

You...

Don't ever look for me, okay?

[groaning]

[unsettling music playing]

[Erfan coughing]

-Are you okay? -I'm okay.

[Erfan coughing]

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you too.

Where are you from?

We are from Kuala Lumpur.

What are you doing here?

Just checking out this area.

No one's ever bothered to check on us.

May I ask you something?

Do you use this water for cooking too?

Yes, because the water no longer flows to the pipes in our houses.

It's been stuck for a long time.

But this water really needs to be filtered before use.

We don't want to eat or drink it either, but we don't have a choice.

We try to buy water from the shop, but it's so expensive.

We try to boil the water before we use it, but it still tastes off.

You could report it to the water company.

We're tired of complaining.

No one has ever come to look.

There are many of us who have gotten sick.

Two of her grandchildren have died.

The doctor at the clinic said it was due to poisoning.

The paperwork to sue Hamzah is ready.

[Siddiq] Why is he filing the case now?

There must be something new that gives him confidence.

Natasya?

That girl was free to go in and out unhindered.

These cameras must have come from her.

And who knows what else she dug up?

Okay, so, before we make a move,

you want to know what Hamzah knows.

Correct?

If we make the wrong move and Hamzah wins in court,

all my shares in Kergara will disappear.

Hmm.

Oh, okay.

I have an idea.

But you are not going to like it.

[pensive music playing]

[elevator pings]

You know who I am?

I don't care who you are.

I heard you quit Kergara

because you hate your father, right?

You have a sit down with Hamzah.

Why would I want to meet that scumbag?

Listen, Sid.

If we can negotiate a settlement,

you can maintain that you are the rightful heir of Datuk Jaafar.

[pensive music playing]

And if we can't settle...

we can provoke him,

and find out what he knows.

All of this, it's all about perception and control.

-Information wars. -Yes.

We're the experts at that, aren't we?

If we can unite the family again...

Mother, Dannial, Erfan, and you,

then we still have lots of Kergara shares.

Yes.

And when we sit down with Hamzah,

you, Sid, are in control.

I want you to sell your company shares to me.

Sure.

On the condition that I can be the Group CEO of Kergara.

I thought you didn't want to have anything to do with the company anymore.

I deserve to be the Group CEO.

For years, Kergara Real Estate thrived because of me.

Your family has no shame, huh?

Do you know?

None of you deserve any part of Kergara.

Understand?

-I can walk. Yes, see? -Yep, yep. Careful.

Oh, Father!

Father, Auntie.

You know, Tasya S is not Tasya S.

She's actually Tasya B!

-Very nice. Sit down, please. Sit. -Bitch. Hey.

Nobody tells me what to do.

Including you!

Sit!

Okay.

Good boy.

[sighing]

You already know, don't you...

that your brother has cut ties with Kergara?

Erfan and Tasya B can both go to hell.

So, now your brother has resigned,

who do you think can rise up?

[pensive music playing]

What more do you want from me, Father?

I'm angry with you, of course, but...

I've never denied that you have strong skills

and a great track record.

Unlike your brother.

Is this about the court case?

I need your help, Dannial.

Right now,

you're the only one I can trust.

See? Didn't I tell you? Erfan is the immature one.

It looks like you really have changed.

Yes.

You've become much better at considering our future.

Yeah.

We used to often talk about how

Kergara needs strong leadership.

And I can't run the whole thing on my own.

You're suddenly singing a different tune.

You've always known that I've always hoped

that one day, you will take over Kergara.

So, are you prepared for this?

Yes, yes, yes, yes.

And I won't disappoint you. Okay?

[Erfan] Just like that?

Yeah. I don't need to dance around the point with you.

You're not stupid.

So, I give you my shares...

And you will be the Group CEO.

-With immediate effect? -Well, of course.

But we can't announce something like this now when things are chaotic.

We don't want to rattle the investors.

I need to think about it.

Think it through.

But be careful you don't miss your chance. Again.

[tense music playing]

[music slowly fades]

Be honest with me.

How long have you known about Hamzah?

He's just trying to take advantage of us. That liar has nothing better to do.

Don't worry. He has no proof.

Siddiq, stop sidestepping.

You've known about Hamzah for a while, haven't you?

Yes.

[sighs]

Did your father know too?

I'm trusting you with this, Siddiq.

20 YEARS AGO

Promise me that you'll find this Hamzah.

[unsettling music playing]

[Siddiq] I promise.

[Jaafar] You are both my sons.

[man] Come on!

And you both have rights to Kergara and everything else of my estate.

That's Hamzah.

[Siddiq] Father didn't know.

I only found out after Father had passed.

Siddiq...

Hamzah has my DNA.

It's okay.

We can fight him in court.

Show how he took it without your consent.

I gave it to him. Willingly.

How could you do that, Mother?

When you knew the results might cause chaos for our family?

I thought if we knew the truth, we could start repairing things.

But, Mother, everything Hamzah does is for his own interests.

What does he care if he destroys our family?

Mother,

please help me.

I know

how to bring the family back together.

[pensive music continues playing]

Are you serious?

I'm not like you.

Goodness. Are you saying I'm never serious?

There's no point stating the obvious.

Whatever you wanted, you've gotten.

All the responsibility fell on me.

That's what you think. Because you have a big head.

Say what you want,

but in reality, Father still comes to me.

He relies on me.

There you go, tooting your own horn again.

Father doesn't want anything to do with you anymore.

He's sick of your bullshit.

[unsettling music playing]

Father offered you the role of the Group CEO?!

Why? You think I don't deserve it?

Huh.

[laughs bitterly]

No, no, no... way.

[Erfan] Yeah.

He offered it to you too?

I give him my shares, he promotes me.

I thought you were the only jerk around,

but that old man is worse!

[tense music playing]

[Erfan coughing]

[gagging]

[continues coughing]

[birds twittering]

We suggest settling out of court.

This is our offer.

[chuckles]

That's quite a lot you want to give me.

We believe this is commensurate for you to withdraw your suit.

Okay, I accept.

But I have one condition.

Of course.

We're ready to negotiate.

I want...

you to go to prison for 18 years.

Now that would be "commensurate".

I went to jail for 18 years because of you, you scumbag!

You deserved to go to prison.

You are a killer.

Or are you going to slander me about that too?

Do you have proof?

That you are the son of Datuk Jaafar?

You stole my life!

Hey.

Even your mother knows you're not her son!

If we're going to rebuild the village,

it's going to cost us, like, a lot.

Why are you smiling? I'm being serious.

"We."

I like the word "we".

[tender music playing]

Erfan...

[doorbell ringing repeatedly]

[Erfan] What do you want?

-Are you fooling around? -[Erfan] What do you want?

Hey.

Are you really going to give your 2% shares to Father?

I know he's desperate. How about you?

Of course not.

Hey. Hey!

Hi, El.

Ah! Pasta.

I didn't get you any food because I didn't know you were coming.

[Dannial] That's okay. Sharing is caring.

How about you sell your shares to me?

What I want is for you to admit

that you are not the son of Datuk Jaafar,

and afterwards, you will hand over all your shares in Kergara to me.

28%, right?

From your father?

If you're not ready to negotiate at all,

then we should just let the court decide.

You're the ones who called for this meeting.

[Siddiq] The reason I called you

was actually to try and avoid more salacious gossip

which will inevitably target my mother.

As you know, she's innocent.

If I withdraw the case,

I will look like a liar,

when, actually, you're the liar.

You lied to the world,

you lied to your children,

and you lied to my mother!

She's my mother, you jerk!

[Mariam] Enough!

Will all the lawyers please leave us? And everyone else, except for...

Hamzah and Siddiq.

-[Mariam] Amira? -Yes, Datin?

Out.

Oh.

Sit down.

[tense music playing]

I said...

[shouting] Sit down!

I've given this a lot of thought.

If your father were alive,

he would want the two of you to make peace

and share what he worked so hard to build.

And you, Hamzah.

You promised me that you would try to bury the hatchet.

Now, prove to me that you're really sincere

and you're not just after the money.

I know you love to see me fail and screw everything up, don't you?

Okay.

So, this is your chance to watch me destroy Kergara, and myself with it.

Mm. Okay.

And another thing. If you sell to me,

I guarantee Father will be livid.

The only thing is,

I can't promise you that the drama will be juicier than your scandal video.

You watch your mouth!

[both grunting]

Listen to me first! Listen. Listen.

-You f*****. -Listen to me!

I'm telling you, I've got a proposal!

-But I don't have any papers. -Get out.

-I'm telling you. -Out.

-I won't listen anymore! -Bro, I got a proposal!

-I'm serious. -What else do you want?

RM60 million. You could open your own company.

You open your own company!

If I did that, I'd be bankrupt in two days.

I could spend RM60 million in a week!

Come on.

Okay. Deal.

Okay?

Don't come here again.

Okay!

Yes! Yeah!

[laughs]

RM60 million...

[pensive music playing]

Hi, Amira!

[chuckles, sighs]

You know,

you were the best of those that chambered with me.

[both chuckling]

[crickets chirping]

-Elis. -Mother.

You seem really busy,

but clearly not with work.

Yes, I'm busy.

I've got to go see a friend.

Erfan, right?

I'm not your enemy, Elis.

Uncle Siddiq has his own way of doing things.

He's not out to get his own children.

Mum.

Why are you telling me all this?

Because I don't want you

getting mixed up in something that could be dangerous.

Family.

That's all that matters.

I guess so. Yes.

[groans]

[footsteps approaching]

[Dannial grunts]

Just go away, Dannial.

Why, Tasya?

Why?

Just go. Didn't you say you didn't want to see my face anymore?

I tried, okay?

But... I can't do it.

Why did you lie to me?

What did I ever do to you?

You put hidden cameras in my house,

and you released a scandalous video of my brother.

You blew up my car. Our car, Tasya.

[pensive music playing]

Even before you knew who my father was...

you wouldn't even look at him

because of the way he talks,

his clothes, and his appearance.

You didn't even want to sit at the same table as him.

After this,

we'll see

who ends up kneeling to whom.

[motorbike starts]

[engine revving]

And by the way,

it wasn't me who blew up our car.

[angsty violin music playing]

You really want to sell your shares?

Yes.

It would go towards helping the villagers.

You're not worried your father will be angry?

Well, maybe if I help as a private person with no ties to Kergara,

finally, Father will leave me alone.

[Elis] Maybe.

All I know

is that the villagers could really use that help.

Yes, agreed.

But I wouldn't need RM60 million to help them, right?

Okay, what would you do if you had RM60 million?

[hums thoughtfully]

-I would do whatever I wanted. -Such as?

I want to be an artist.

[both laughing]

Artist, okay.

But actually...

I was really proud when I won that architecture competition.

So, you're still interested in design?

Yes.

Don't tell my mum.

Okay, fine.

Who says you can only be one thing in this life?

[Elis] Erfan.

[Erfan] Yes?

[Elis] Where are you supposed to meet the guy?

[Erfan] Upstairs.

[door opening]

Come.

-Erfan, you're so bold. I'm scared. -No. Just keep walking.

Surprise.

[soft music playing]

Why did you...?

Because I think we should open a company together.

Even if I don't get that RM60 million, it's fine.

I have investments and I...

Okay, you can invest.

But I have nothing to invest.

I don't even have any experience...

Okay, who said you have no experience?

Who won the Berlin competition?

Who sold a painting for over 100,000?

You did.

I think we should run an architecture firm

cum art gallery together.

Art gallery?

Yes. Where else are we going to sell your work?

Hmm?

-Um, I can't do this. -Why?

I don't want to use your money.

[Amira] Is Elis still with Erfan?

They're alone in an empty office lot.

Send me the location.

[man over phone] Okay, madam.

Do you want me to keep following them?

Yes. Keep following for another week

Yes, madam.

You think we can use Elis?

[mysterious music playing]

Yes.

Our money.

Erfan... are you for real?

Yes, I am.

[box shuts]

[Erfan] Forever.

I promise. Okay?

[tender music playing]

The court agrees that

Tan Sri Siddiq bin Datuk Jaafar

is unlikely to be the legitimate son of Datin Mariam binti Youssef.

However, there is no conclusive proof that Hamzah bin Asmadi

is the legitimate son of the late Datuk Jaafar bin Ariffin.

Therefore, the court orders that all the assets previously inherited

from Datuk Jaafar by Tan Sri Siddiq be frozen for the time being.

Your Honour, we ask permission to put forth a motion.

[reporter] Authorities today allowed a petition for Hamzah bin Asmadi

to dig up the grave

of the late Datuk Jaafar bin Ariffin, founder of Kergara Group.

The decision was made in order to obtain DNA from Datuk Jaafar's body

in order to test the paternity claim of Hamzah bin Asmadi.

[male reporter] Mr Hamzah!

What will your next move be?

AUTHORITIES GRANT REQUEST TO DIG UP GRAVE OF KERGARA GROUP FOUNDER
