Graduation

Eliza is assaulted near her school, leaving her shaken with a sprained wrist. She reveals that the attacker attempted to rape her but did not succeed, setting off a crisis that will affect her exams and future plans.

The headmaster attempts to exclude Eliza from her first exam because of the cast on her wrist, fearing she could hide notes. Sandra intervenes and defends Eliza, but the cast slows her writing and threatens her chance at a near-perfect score.

At the police station, the chief inspector suggests a quid-pro-quo: fix Eliza's exam results in exchange for expediting a liver transplant for a corrupt official, Mr. Bulai. The plan injects corruption into Eliza's future and Romeo's professional life.

That evening, Magda rejects Romeo's plan to help Eliza through corrupt means, fearing the corruption will taint Eliza's fresh start at Cambridge. Romeo argues the exams are just a formality, but Magda remains unmoved.

Romeo presents the plan to Eliza and urges her to accept help to secure a brighter future. She listens but does not commit, telling him to decide what she thinks is best before he leaves to let her rest.

The next day, Romeo goes to the police to view CCTV from the attack, hoping for clues. He also waits at the school for Eliza to complete her second exam and talks with her boyfriend, Marius, about what happened that morning.

Eliza and Marius leave together on his motorbike, heading to her next exam. The ease of their moment contrasts with the mounting pressures around her future.

Eliza fetches Romeo from Sandra's place after her mother collapses and threatens to skip her exams unless her father tells Magda about the affair. She suspects other grades may have been fixed and demands honesty.

Back at home, Magda admits she knew about the affair and asks Romeo to move out, pushing for a resolution that preserves Eliza's integrity and future. The household atmosphere grows tense and fractured.

The next day at the hospital, prosecutors want to interview Romeo about Bulai's corrupt activities and remind him that both he and Eliza could face charges if the exams were fixed. Romeo weighs the risk of crossing powerful interests.

Romeo visits the chief inspector, who assures him that Eliza's attacker will soon be identified in a lineup. The promise provides a sense of forward movement amid the unfolding investigations.

That evening, Eliza fails to identify any attacker from the lineup, leaving unanswered questions about who assaulted her. The case remains unresolved, adding to the family's stress.

On a bus, Romeo spots a man from the lineup and follows him to Sandra's place. He agrees to babysit Sandra's son the next morning, balancing personal duty with the mounting legal and ethical pressures.

Mr. Bulai dies of a heart attack, and prosecutors say the investigation will continue. Romeo agrees to cooperate with them, planning to meet again the following Monday to answer questions and face potential charges.

Eliza graduates, and though she may not go to England, her teachers have given her extra time to complete the exam. She asks Romeo to take a photo with her graduating class, marking a bittersweet milestone amid the turmoil.
