Housekeeping (2024) Movie Script

1
[Johan] Be patient, patient.
Patience is part of faith.
We have to work really hard on this.
Do you want or not, hmm?
How many times
have you both been coming here?
But in the end...
DIVORCE
...you don't sign it.
Well...
Even I am tired of it.
You go and settle it yourselves.
God willing, safe.
[sighs]
You're always fighting.
Even in front of me.
Do you think I have nothing else to do?
[Johan] Dear.
Aida. Dear.
Aida, wait.
Wait. Don't be like this, dear.
You promised to sign it.
Please, I've changed.
You have to give me a chance.
Johan, you and I are no longer
on the same page. You know that.
Eh, we are on the same page.
Who says we aren't?
Look. You have to see this.
[grunts]
Aida. This.
Dear.
BANK AUCTION IN 2 WEEKS
RESTAURANT FOR SALE RM300,000
The restaurant I want to buy
has been auctioned.
This. Please?
Give me two weeks.
I guarantee you, I'll get the RM300,000.
I guarantee there'll be a lot of money.
I can do it. Okay?
I need you. You have to support me.
- I'm not even asking for your money.
- You want to open a restaurant now?
- Yes.
- Have you got the restaurant?
I am planning to get it.
Aida, please. Aida!
Don't do this to me, dear.
Look, okay...
If I can't get it, we get a divorce.
[melancholic music playing]
Three hundred thousand in two weeks?
Come on. You know me, I can do it.
I have planned everything.
Aida!
[sighs] Aida, dear.
Please, dear.
Aida...
[sighs]
[upbeat music playing]
[woman] With world-class facilities
and round-the-clock services
at our five-star hotel...
we promise your stay with us
will be unforgettable.
Our trained staff are committed
to international standards of hospitality
ensuring our guests
are forever satisfied.
Your comfort is our main priority...
Only at Wyndham Acmar Klang.
[song continues playing]
[song fades]
[machine whirring]
Now, how to find RM300,000 in two weeks?
That's impossible.
We work as housekeepers.
How to collect that much money?
There's nothing you can do about it.
Just let her be,
maybe you and her are not fated.
Stop saying that.
Five minutes!
Do you hear it?
Five more minutes. Yeah.
I said a staff meeting is in five minutes.
Why are you hanging over there? Now!
[chuckles]
Hello?
I said this machine
has to run for 24 hours.
Why isn't it on?
Do you want to bathe in this?
That's okay. I'll just turn it on.
Keep doing free work.
[machine beeping]
Meeting! Why are you looking at me? Now.
[upbeat music playing]
Hey. Have you put the recycling bin
at the loading bay?
I forgot.
Forgot? You know our HR,
he can be a bit bossy.
I'm sick of listening
about the environment from him.
I'm stressed.
Stand here! Don't come outside!
Sorry, sorry.
Why is he apologizing?
I'm not even his boss.
That's why.
Johan, regarding the money,
I'm really sorry.
I really can't help you.
I think you'd better look
for someone rich. Okay?
I'm busy. Bye.
[upbeat music playing]
[brakes squeak]
[Datin Rukiah] I understand. I know
it's not easy to be a hotel CEO.
[Molly] Hi, Mom. So sorry.
My schedule is very packed today.
I have a conference call
with all my investors today.
And then, I have to finalize
my contract with Dubai.
And then I have a video call
with one of my investors in Shanghai.
What are you all waiting for?
Okay. Raja, help me to look around.
Who knows someone might lend me money.
Lend you money? Find an investor, bro.
[song continues playing]
[Cik Izan] How many times do I need
to repeat the same thing?
I said, we are having a staff meeting now!
[echoing]
[song fades]
[Cik Izan] Remember, everyone.
Punctuality is very important.
I still haven't checked your attendance.
What place is this?
Whose place is this?
Did you tell your mom
that you work in housekeeping?
I said I work in a hotel. That's right.
[sighs]
So, today I want all of you to be ready.
I will introduce to you,
Empress Wu Zetian's Management Philosophy!
[thuds]
Originally from the Tang Dynasty, China.
Look carefully.
So, can you imagine?
A great woman like her...
My mother has not changed.
She thinks she's still rich.
But if she knows the truth
that my father has a lot of debt
and I have to settle
all the debts of my late father,
she will have a stroke.
I can't wait to clear all his debts
and leave this country.
Did she have time to instruct
the maids to clean the room?
What are you talking about, huh?
Or maybe vacuum the room?
No, she didn't need to do all that.
She entered the room
and found it immaculately tidy.
This is good because her maids
took the initiative.
Even when the maids got beaten,
got tortured, dragged and hit.
It is important to have initiative.
Like Molly.
All guests love Molly so much.
Why? Molly can provide
whatever the guests want.
She's good. Not like Johan.
Everyone's hard at work,
but he's fantasizing
about opening a restaurant.
If you lived
during Empress Wu Zetian's time,
you would already be dead.
Hung in front of the crowd.
Sad.
So, get back to work, guys.
[phone dings]
AUCTION BOOKING
PAY DEPOSIT 10% IN 24 HOURS!
[Cik Izan]
What is the most important thing?
- Initiative.
- Thirty thousand?
Tomorrow.
[sighs]
- Ask your wife for help.
- No way.
Johan.
This is Foo, the new maintenance boy.
Guide him.
- I can't because...
- Huh?
- I...
- Huh?
- After this, I...
- Huh?
- I...
- Huh?
- I...
- Huh?
How? I don't understand.
Ah.
Don't you want to show initiative?
Right? Right?
Thank you.
- Huh?
- Huh?
What do you want?
- Initiative.
- Exactly.
Abang Johan, my name is Ah Foo.
I'm ready to show initiative.
[sighs]
Waste my time.
[Ah Foo] I have time.
Whoa!
Chinese New Year celebration has started.
Johan, according to the staff handbook,
what is the hotel's most important asset?
At first, I thought it was the dishwasher,
- many guests go to eat...
- What are you talking about?
The most important asset is the guest.
Loyal guests should be well taken care of.
Then, we have to give
what the guests want.
[Johan]
Like Datuk Mahmud. He can be an investor.
Datuk!
Hi, Datuk.
Welcome to the hotel. Hi, Miss.
- Hope everything goes on smoothly.
- Yeah.
Datuk, I am an entrepreneur.
I have some ideas
that I can share with you.
Can you spare me some time?
Of course. Of course. You're very brash.
I like you, young man.
- Your style. You're very enthusiastic.
- Thank you, Sir.
- But I'm a little busy right now.
- Okay.
Maybe I'll see you in the evening...
- Sure.
- ...if I'm less busy.
Okay.
One more thing, boy.
If you see anyone looking for me...
Yes, Datuk?
...let me know. Huh?
[chuckles]
Here you go.
Go spend it.
Okay, Sir. Thank you.
Bye.
- Thank you, Sir.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye, Miss.
[Ah Foo] Such a good daughter
who goes holidaying with her dad.
- [Johan] That's not his daughter.
- [Ah Foo] Sister?
No.
Can't be his mother.
Don't look at my wife. Look at my mouth.
[Ah Foo] You're good at finding investors.
They are all rich.
[Johan] Not really. They are rich people
too, but "OKB", the new rich. You know?
They want something but when it arrives,
they don't want to pay.
This place is awesome.
I'm 28 years old but still can't swim.
This is my chance to learn!
After I learn to swim,
I want to go to an island
like Bali, Hat Yai.
After that,
I want to play with sand in Egypt.
But, there is no sea there, right?
Abang Johan.
Whoa!
- So violent. Who is that?
- [Johan] HR.
Recycling, environmental friendly.
All that - that's his work.
Hi, Johan.
- Ah Foo, is everything okay?
- Okay.
All right. Okay.
Look at that,
when I expand my franchised restaurant,
I want to hire such people to work for me.
That's my plan.
I am confident
that your business will grow
- in international markets like Batam...
- Yeah, right.
...Bukit Kayu Hitam,
Bukit Tinggi, Trolak,
Taiping, Sungkai, Phnom Penh...
[upbeat music playing]
[clatters]
One, two, and three.
Abang Johan, look at that man.
- His name is Song Sam.
- Song Sam?
A gym trainer. Look at him.
Pretentious.
[upbeat music continues playing]
Push.
And push.
And push.
Hey, my beautiful ladies!
Stop for a while.
Johan.
Why is the aircon not working?
It always breaks down.
- Right, I'm fixing it.
- You're in charge of housekeeping.
You must take care
of every equipment here.
Miss Izan said,
we must show some initiative.
Abang Johan, I can do it. I can repair.
No need. We will just check.
We will ask others to do it.
- I can repair.
- No need.
I can repair.
- Hey. You better fix it.
- Okay.
Let's continue, my beauties!
- Second round.
- [woman] Okay!
[upbeat music continues playing]
[Ah Foo] Look at that muscle.
Woah. How could he be so muscular
by just eating tom-yam?
Muscular? I don't think so.
[upbeat music continues playing]
[music stops]
Are you dreaming?
The aircon is okay.
Look at this mess. Huh?
How can I meet Datuk like this?
[groans]
You're just giving me problems!
Abang Johan.
- [fork and spoon scratching]
- [munching]
Hmm.
I have spoken to the boss.
He said no way.
The money is ready.
[man over phone] I want to see the money
first before I give it to you.
Okay. It's up to you.
[continues munching]
[gun cocks]
[imitating gunshot]
Housekeeping.
[stammers]
Wait. If you enter
with your left leg first,
bad luck would come, right? Right leg!
[suspenseful music playing]
[cell phone rings]
Your phone's ringing.
MOM CALLING
Damn it!
- Hi, Mom.
- [Datin Rukiah] Molly.
Aunt Sally and I
were chatting about high tea.
It's famous at your hotel.
Mom, I'm having a meeting
with one of my partners
in London.
Really?
I don't hear anything.
- English.
- What?
English? You're crazy?
I could only speak a little English
when I was working at KLIA.
[Datin Rukiah] It's so quiet?
If the meeting is over,
you can chat with mom.
[In British accent]
Flight No. 31 is ready for...
Are you at the airport?
[Lindi] Please prepare your...
Huh? No.
The aerotrain will depart
in two minutes' time.
Ding, ding.
[Datin Rukiah]
Okay, I'm coming this afternoon, okay?
Later.
Mom, I'm in a meeting. I'll call later.
- Let's go for high tea.
- Let's go.
Attention, please.
All cabin crew, please be seated.
[giggles]
And fasten your seat belt.
The restaurant business
is guaranteed to be profitable.
If you're not investing with me,
it's your missed opportunity.
I expect the return of investment
to be 6,000%.
Datuk will be happy and I'll be happy.
[clicks tongue]
Hey. Ugh.
Wow! 6,000 percent?
You meant 100 percent, right?
Give RM1 and get back RM2.
[clicks tongue]
Why should I listen to the new boy?
[grunts]
Is done.
Done? It's worse.
Wait, I'll dry it.
So, Abang Johan, how old were you
during your first job?
Don't ask too many questions.
Dry my clothes.
Okay.
I've been working since
I was 17, you know?
Abang Johan, you failed SPM?
I have worked with 30 companies.
Don't mess with me.
If you buy now,
you can pay in instalments.
You...
This can strengthen
the signal at home. Sir?
This is our current health program.
You lose nothing if you join now.
Don't forget to tip. Rate me five stars!
By now, you're already in your 30s.
On average,
you work at one company for six months.
I feel like I'm in math class
when I chat with you.
I just want to tell you
that I have a lot of experience.
Abang Johan, a little more.
- But Abang Johan, six months is just...
- I know!
My plan was perfect.
It's just that my luck is not perfect.
[fire alarm ringing]
Abang Johan, the alarm.
I know, I can hear it.
- Let's go!
- Abang Johan!
- Is the hotel on fire?
- Go find where's the fire.
No initiative at all.
But, we aren't firefighters.
We're housekeeping.
Just go!
Why are you like a married couple?
Split up!
Why didn't you wear your uniform?
You want to get smacked?
[alarm continues ringing]
[suspenseful music playing]
Housekeeping.
Housekeeping.
Housekeeping...
[coughs]
Hello?
[groans]
[alarm switches off]
[sighs]
[fire alarm ringing in distance]
Housekeeping.
[groans]
Seriously?
[electricity cackles]
[groans]
[groans]
[breathing heavily]
[grunts]
[alarm continues ringing in distance]
[mellow music playing]
[cell phone dings]
BANK AUCTION
PLACE YOUR RESTAURANT DEPOSIT NOW
[alarm continues ringing in distance]
[sinister music playing]
[laughing maniacally]
I'm rich!
[upbeat music playing]
[Cik Izan] Please continue your work now!
It's only false alarm.
Nothing has happened.
Please continue your work.
[door slams]
[grunts]
[chuckles]
Keep it here.
[suspenseful music playing]
[man clears throat]
[Lindi] Be thankful that they gave you.
Luckily, they wanted to give.
Gosh.
Not RM2 though.
That's too much.
Housekeeping.
Sometimes I get RM5, RM10, becomes RM15.
[both scream]
Sorry, Sir. I thought the room was vacant.
Is that your friend?
- Lindi!
- Damn it!
What's wrong?
Can you hear my voice?
Squeeze my hand if you can hear my voice.
Hey, look. Choked on a banana.
One more time.
- It's okay.
- Okay, don't panic.
I am a member of the Red Crescent.
[grunting]
Wait. You're wasting time.
Let's use traditional methods.
Wait.
Cop, cop ping.
- Ping in Cupak, where's the...
- Hey!
He's not moving and lifeless.
[gasps]
Eh..eh... Is it smelly?
Welcome. Thank you so much for waiting.
I apologise for the loud alarm just now.
Because we like to conduct fire drills
to ensure our fire safety is tip top here.
[chuckles]
Please this way,
Mr. Sheikh Yah Buthi and Mr...
- Bob.
- Yes.
[grunting]
Stop. He's gone.
By the way,
this is our most expensive suite.
Perfect and suitable
for international businessmen,
like you gentlemen.
[laughs]
- [gasping]
- His breath...
All praise to Allah.
All praise to Allah.
All praise to Allah.
All praise to Allah.
[laughs] Yeah, this way.
We'd like to make sure all of our suites
are equipped with the latest technology.
Every suite is equipped with...
Wi-Fi, large screen smart TV...
God. There's a dead body.
Yes, equipped with dead body too.
In 2023, we won the best
customer satisfaction...
Molly!
- We've tried our best.
- [gasps]
[screams]
Dead! Dead!
Molly, dead body?
[mellow music playing]
[Cik Izan] I've been working here
for seven years.
This has never happened in our hotel.
If this was the era
of Empress Wu Zetian...
- We have a meeting now?
- ...we would be punished.
This is not a staff meeting.
- Tortured...
- Abang Johan,
there's a case in one of the suites.
- ...and fried in hot oil.
- Case?
What case? [chuckle] Huh?
Someone stole the TV remote control?
[laughs]
- They found a dead body.
- Oh, found a dead body.
A dead body?
[Cik Izan] Luckily, it's not her era now.
Because this is the first time
I can't solve this problem.
So with that
I have to call the police.
Because it has now
become clear that...
[Aida] It's a murder case.
[suspenseful music playing]
Take me to the crime scene.
All right, Inspector.
[grunts]
Inspector.
- [hotel staff] My shirt!
- Shh.
I heard that you've solved many robbery
and murder cases?
Is that true?
Wow!
[chuckles] I'm so impressed.
This way.
Follow me.
Come.
[camera shutter clicking]
- Who found this body?
- She found it.
Or maybe she killed him.
No, Miss Izan.
When I first entered this room,
I bumped into his friend.
I thought he passed out.
Was the corpse still alive
when you found him?
[Molly] I told you.
I thought he passed out.
That's why I gave CPR.
So, you want me to believe
you gave CPR to a corpse?
- Are corpses still people?
- Miss Izan, I swear I didn't kill him.
- Why would I kill him? Ask Lindi.
- That's right.
We're just housekeepers.
Why would we kill people?
Didn't I say he choked on a banana?
You always cover for your friends.
Stop it.
You two, are you from the Holy Land?
No.
We are actually from Kampung Baru.
What?
Why did you speak English earlier?
You kept on saying, "All praise to Allah."
You started it first.
We just played along.
Inspector, I want to ask something.
Who is he?
[puzzling music]
Don B.
- Who?
- Who?
[Aida] Because of Don B,
many people didn't have a bright future.
He invented a new drug
that was distributed using dried fish.
Hey, that can't be.
Who would smuggle drugs in dried fish?
But my friend said...
[Molly's voice] You can smuggle
using anything you want.
No. Don B is a regular customer here.
He's not that kind of person.
Right, that day I saw...
he saved the cat
in the hotel garden.
Not everyone has
such a good heart like him, you know?
[Aida's voice]
But you know what he did with the cat?
- Really?
- Really?
It's all flashback.
Anything could have happened.
[Aida's voice] They were supposed
to have a deal at a five-star hotel.
[Molly's voice] Is this a five-star hotel?
[Cik Izan's voice] Of course. This hotel
won Best Customer Satisfaction 2023, okay?
[Aida's voice] This deal will make
Don B a very powerful person.
Now, he's dead.
Gomez, take this to the police station.
We have to check...
DNA.
Check the DNA.
- [Aida] You can all go back...
- [Miss Izan] To your respective rooms.
Okay?
I will call everyone in for interrogation.
- Gomez, make sure...
- No one enters this room.
Got it?
Make sure, huh?
Aida. Hi.
You must have thought about
our honeymoon in Phuket
when you came to the hotel.
No, the hotel is not the same.
Did you come because you miss me?
No, I came because someone was killed.
Actually,
what are you doing on this floor?
Did you see anything?
See anything? What? No.
- Really?
- That's right.
So what are you doing here?
[stammers]
Can we pretend like we're still married?
Because I can't imagine us...
[clears throat] Dear, okay?
My wife is beautiful.
Okay. My wife.
Okay, see you tonight.
I'll give you a back massage.
[clears throat]
Bye.
[suspenseful music playing]
AHU ROOM
- [gasps]
- What's in the bag?
- Bag?
- Hm?
What bag?
[chuckles]
This bag? Nothing. It's just an empty bag.
I found it in the lobby. Empty bag.
Try lifting it.
- What do you want to do?
- Give it to me.
[Molly grunts]
[door lock clicks]
- Someone dropped his bag.
- [indistinct chatter]
- Stop! This is my money.
- No!
- My money.
- You!
If we find something,
we have to send it to Lost and Found.
Hey! Stop!
How much in total?
I think close to two million.
Two million divided by three?
Why divide by three?
If not, he'll report about it.
I'll report it.
Two million divided by three?
Hey you, you don't even know
how to divide two by three.
How about this, okay.
Right now,
I will tell Miss Izan that I am sick.
I'm going home.
But after you finish your shift,
we'll meet and share this money.
How much is two divided by three?
Three is a prime number.
It can only be divided by itself
or the number one.
So, two million divided by three.
[echo] The result is 0.666 to infinity.
So, the first person will get RM700,000,
and both of us will get RM650,000.
Okay, I have no issues at all.
Hey.
[grunts]
[breathing heavily]
My wife is in charge of this case.
So, both of you need to listen to me.
If you don't, this won't work out.
We're going to fail. Okay?
Don't report it.
[laughing]
Yes!
[chuckles]
Yes!
- Don't report.
- We are rich!
- We are rich!
- [all laugh]
It's lockdown, guys. Take your positions.
Make sure all exits are secured.
The four of you, set up the office.
You two, set up the perimeter.
You two, guard the door.
We need to find the killer.
If we get the killer,
we'll get Don B's boss.
Don B came here to buy a secret list
from the National Bank.
We don't know
who he wanted to buy it from.
If, Madam, you don't find that USB,
we're done.
[munches]
[dramatic music playing]
POLICE
[music fades]
LOCKDOWN NOTICE
[speaks Hokkien]
Huh? What the hell?!
We are trying to contain the crime scene.
Lockdown is an extreme
and highly unusual action.
But, I think this is necessary
as a criminal case has just happened.
- How much longer?
- Inspector...
The police is here. Please get everyone
down here at the lobby, all right?
Okay. Thank you.
Okay, everyone. Be patient.
Settle down, please.
All right. We want to give
full cooperation to the police.
Thank you. Please.
[megaphone feedback] We ask for
cooperation from all guests and staff.
We hope everyone
can be patient and help us
to solve this problem as soon as possible.
[clears throat]
Why are we detained here?
For now, no one is detained, Datuk.
We just have a few questions
that we want to ask everyone here.
Madam Inspector.
I think you don't have to worry at all.
Because I understand
that it is the festive season now,
but we, from the hotel
will fully cooperate with the police.
For now, we start with
body search for all the staff.
[suspenseful music playing]
No!
- What's wrong?
- Huh?
No. It's ticklish.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Ah Foo] Whoa, such a beautiful scarf.
TRANSFER IN YOUR DOWN PAYMEN- 13 HOURS LEFAbang Johan,
this looks like Song Sam's scarf.
I heard it's imported from Italy.
- This material...
- Wait.
I think I saw this scarf before,
when I did the CPR on the body.
And, I saw Song Sam
near the suite earlier.
[cell phone vibrates]
- Hi, Mom.
- [Datin Rukiah] Molly.
We have arrived.
But after we parked,
- they said it was lockdown.
- What?
Yeah. Where are you? I'll come to you.
It's okay, I'll be there. Bye!
Hey, Molly, wait.
We have to focus on finding the bag!
Ah Foo!
Let's find the bag.
Don't just stand there.
Abang Johan,
I've looked but it's not here.
Only one place we haven't searched.
[machine whirring]
If my body was small,
I would go in and look for it inside.
But, my body is big.
It'll be difficult for me to come out
if I go into it.
So?
Abang Johan, do you want me to go in?
[chuckles]
That's a great idea.
Actually, you're pretty smart.
- Just a little.
- You are really smart, go in and find it.
- It's not there.
- Search the sides.
- What's at the sides?
- [gulps]
[tense music playing]
[grunts]
[door slams shut]
[Cik Izan] Hmm?
- The sides?
- What about the sides?
What?
I said, the clothes have to be cleaned
from the insides.
What are you doing here now?
Isn't your shift...
How many times do I have to say it?
All machines have to be on 24 hours.
Miss Izan...
- [machine beeping]
- [Cik Izan grunts]
What is so difficult to understand?
What are you doing here?
[machine clattering]
It's lunch break now.
- [water swooshing]
- [muffled speaking]
Why does it sound like this?
The machine has never sounded like this.
Why?
It's like this when we're washing.
Is that so?
Lunch break?
No food, no drinks. What lunch break?
This.
- Coffee.
- Oh.
- Mm.
- Mm.
[muffled noise]
- Brazilian.
- [Cik Izan] Brazilian?
[sighs]
- Mm.
- Mm.
Isn't that laundry detergent?
Well, ask Ah Foo to repair it.
And one more thing.
This shirt.
Can you wear the uniform? You are good.
But too unprofessional.
Where's your initiative?
All forgotten already.
[muffled noise continues]
[machine continues clattering]
Don't play around
or Empress Wu Zetian will be here.
[groans]
Ah Foo!
[beeps]
Ah Foo! Ah Foo!
- Ah Foo!
- Abang Johan!
Ah Foo, are you okay?
- I can't find the bag.
- It's fine.
Let's look for Raja.
We will ask him if anyone has sent
a black bag to Lost and Found. Okay?
- Yeah, okay. Let's go.
- Are you okay?
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
Ops! Sorry!
[upbeat music playing]
[Cik Izan] Miss Lulian, I'm sorry.
I can't help you this time. I'm so sorry.
[Lulian speaking in Hokkien]
Lockdown is awful.
Don't be like this. I have money.
You can help me.
I will definitely pay!
[Cik Izan] Don't be a racist.
I don't want to do illegal things.
Okay? I'm so sorry.
- So, can you help?
- No. I'm sorry.
- Please help me!
- I'm so sorry.
[Lulian] Hey, where are you going?
[sighs]
How can I be a suspect?
I came here and stayed in
an expensive room.
Triple Diamond Suite.
Do I look like a gangster?
I am the CEO of an IT company.
I'm not a gangster. Come on, do your work.
How would I know the CCTV is broken?
We didn't kill the criminal.
We tried to save him,
the one who choked on a banana.
Really, Sir.
We did CPR and tried to restore his life.
[imitating Molly giving CPR]
[tense music playing]
[speaks Thai]
No.
[speaks English]
I have no reason to kill anyone.
I work at the gym.
I am an instructor.
But you have two cars and two apartments.
Is being an instructor a good job?
I'm good at saving money.
From baby until now.
[speaks Thai]
So pretty.
RAZAK, LULIAN, MAHMUD
[Gomez] Is your husband
also a suspect in this case?
My ex-husband.
For now, we have
to investigate all possibilities.
- Sorry, ex.
- Heh.
Madam.
This hotel is beautiful.
[woman] Enjoy your meal.
- Thank you.
- Thank you. So nice.
Hi, Mom.
[kisses]
Hi, Molly.
How are you today?
- Good.
- Good.
Um, another set for the CEO.
Okay, three sets.
Nowadays, it's so easy
to call for a lockdown.
You're right.
Uh. Why is Molly wearing
a housekeeper's uniform?
I want to show the staff
that we are a team.
- I am one of them. We're all connected.
- [clears throat]
- [Datin Rukiah] Molly.
- Shit!
- What's wrong?
- Sit.
Good afternoon.
Molly, you're here?
- Didn't I tell you to...
- Clean the toilet.
Didn't I say that earlier?
- Yes or no?
- Yes.
The toilet cannot clean itself.
We need to have the initiative.
- Yes or no?
- Yes.
Make sure
the toilet is as clean as possible
until we can do surgery inside. Yes?
Yes.
Oh. In the meantime,
we have a very special guest today
who is enjoying a very special high tea.
- Enjoy. Excuse us.
- Yeah.
- Molly.
- Yes?
[chuckles]
For sure, the toilets need to be cleaned.
But you'll be the one who needs to do it.
That's what I said earlier.
- Not me?
- No.
I really thought that
I'm the one that needs to do it.
No, Miss Izan. I'll clean them.
- I'm sorry, Miss Izan.
- Yes, I have already forgiven you.
Go.
One more thing. I have a task for you.
[lift dings]
[kids screaming]
[suspenseful music playing]
I want you to take care of
Mr Razak's children at the birthday party.
And, don't forget to take the cake.
Miss Izan, I'm not a babysitter.
[speaking in Thai]
But you're right that we need...
There is an initiative that we have
various services including babysitting.
[giggles]
It's true, I am a capable manager
who can inspire the staff.
- Abang Johan, wait. Abang Johan.
- You will need to interview...
What's your problem?
We're looking for a black bag.
[cries]
A guest asked our help
to look for a black bag.
What's wrong with you?
Stomach ache.
Yeah.
- Where do you want to go, dear?
- I want to interrogate Raja.
Mr Raja?
We're going to Lost and Found too.
[cries]
Let him go to the toilet.
He doesn't look good.
You're right.
After going to the toilet,
why not go look for that thing before...
Okay, Abang Johan.
I'll go to find that thing first.
Do you want to go find Raja
in Lost and Found? This way.
- This way.
- Isn't it there?
No, this is a shortcut.
Follow me.
Aida, you have to interrogate
Madam Lulian and Miss Izan.
Why?
I heard what they said earlier
but it was not clear.
I think they are planning something.
Now I just want to know
why Don B and Lulian are in the hotel.
[Johan] Maybe Don B was killed
because of Madam Lulian.
- That explains the money.
- [Aida] What money?
[Johan] Nothing.
Gangsters have a lot of money, don't they?
[Aida]
We are already tracking her.
She is suspected to be the crime boss
controlling the Kuala Lumpur area.
And she is also responsible
for many cases of drug-related disputes
and money laundering.
[playful music playing]
Ground floor.
[clears throat]
You look like you know something,
care to share?
No, nothing.
I really like following your career
from the beginning.
Even when you were still a rookie.
You're great.
That's why you got promoted easily.
Not like me.
When we first got married,
I didn't even have a permanent job.
What to do?
You just finished school.
It was hard to get a job.
At that time, the economy was bad.
That was my fate.
But if you could give me two days,
I could settle it
and there will be more money, dear.
Two days?
Yesterday, you told me two weeks.
Two weeks is for the restaurant.
This is something new.
Johan.
This is not about business,
restaurant or money.
This is about you.
You're never committed to anything.
When there was a problem,
you changed the business.
When you got bored, you changed your job.
I don't want a husband
who doesn't know what he wants.
You just never change, Johan.
Stop following me. I need to work.
[upbeat music playing]
How are you? Happy Birthday.
Welcome to the birthday party.
Come on, kids.
Lockdown? No problem.
Today, we party!
[sighs]
- I want cake!
- I want cake!
[woman] We'll cut the cake later,
shall we?
Maid! Cut the cake!
[chuckles]
- My name is Molly, not maid.
- Okay.
- Molly.
- Molly.
Maid, cut the cake!
- Maid!
- Maid!
- Maid!
- Cut the cake.
Maid!
[Indian music playing over phone]
Hello, Mr Raja.
Mr Raja, you're eating curry puff?
Yes.
Mr Raja,
are you watching a movie on your phone?
Oh, Mr Raja, you can speak Tamil?
[music stops]
- What exactly do you want to ask?
- Mr. Raja, did you see a black bag?
[upbeat music playing]
Okay, let's eat cake!
[kids] Eat cake! Eat cake!
Siuuu!
[groans]
[gasps]
[cell phone dings]
MOLLY, I'LL TAKE A LOOK AROUND
THE HOTEL FIRST, OKAY?
Sally, they say the swimming pool
here is beautiful.
- Want to have a look?
- Yes. Come on.
Mom!
[panting]
Wait.
You have to try our best curry noodle.
- But you must join us.
- Of course, Mom.
Molly.
You haven't eaten anything yet. Come.
- At least have a piece of cake.
- No.
She's allergic to cake.
[stomach grumbles]
Eat this.
Eat this, will you?
She's busy.
- It's delicious.
- Working all day and not eating.
We are full already.
But this cake is delicious.
Bro, a bag like this?
- No, it's bigger.
- Bigger?
Ah Foo, I wonder.
Why are black bags always misplaced?
Other colour bags are fine.
Slippers.
Even the misplaced slippers are black.
But I'm surprised.
He only misplaced one side.
How could he walk then?
Humans.
But sometimes,
they even misplace their clothes.
But for shirts, it's always white.
One time, bro...
dentures...
- Open it.
- Open it.
I'll open it, huh?
Wow!
[Song Sam] You're very naughty, Madam,
- do you like that way, eh?
- Yes.
[Song Sam] Hey!
Why did you open my bag?
No! Give me my bag! This is my bag!
- "Don't open my bag. Don't!"
- You naughty boy, huh.
Uh, I must get ready
for my next "live" story.
[stomach grumbles]
- Are you a model too?
- I can be whatever you wish, Madam.
What's wrong with you?
[stomach continues grumbling]
She wants to throw up!
The maid wants to throw up.
- The maid wants to throw up...
- Molly,
- you better not vomit here.
- The maid wants to throw up...
I am not going to vomit.
[soft music playing]
You okay, my son?
[Ah Foo] Abang Johan!
I've found the black bag
at Lost and Found.
Wait. The money is still there.
Yes! Okay.
Take care of that bag like it's your life.
I'll see you at Lost and Found.
[Ah Foo]
Okay, we'll meet in the locker room.
No, Ah Foo.
We'll meet at Lost and Found,
not the locker room.
[Ah Foo] Okay, we'll meet
in the locker room. Goodbye.
[grunts]
Whoa!
Where are you going?
I want to go to the locker room.
Locker room. All right.
Did you find the bag?
I found this bag.
What's in the bag?
Nevermind.
I'll send it to the Lost and Found.
No, you can't.
[laughs]
I'm from the management. I can help.
- I'll send it over.
- No.
Whoa! All right.
I have to hold tight to this bag.
See you later, okay?
Okay.
Hey, take it easy, right?
[suspenseful music playing]
[groans]
Yes, I always see Don B at the hotel.
But he always comes for high tea.
This time, he checked in.
- First time.
- He brought luggage?
Yes. A black bag.
But he didn't allow me to touch it.
He said only he can hold it.
So, the black bag should be in his room.
But it's gone.
Actually, Ah Foo came looking
for a black bag earlier.
The boy who started work today?
Did he say why he was looking
for a black bag?
So, is there a black bag here now?
Earlier, there was a black bag missing.
Inspector, even things
in the Lost and Found can go missing.
[laughs]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Don A] According to the United Nations,
the global temperature
will increase
by three degrees by 2100.
But humans can only live with
a temperature increase of two degrees.
So, you...
not only have thrown your
cigarette butts everywhere,
you have even accelerated
the increase in global temperature.
Sorry, boss.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay. We are gangsters.
[cackles]
We damage society.
So, let's not damage nature also.
You're good at recycling.
That's why you are a boss.
[shushes]
That's right.
Money should also be recycled
from the hands of workers
to the hands of businessmen,
into the hands of the bank
and back into the hands of the workers.
The problem is...
I told Don B
to buy the secret government list
but Don B was killed.
My money got stuck in this hotel.
Now what?
How do I take my money out of this hotel?
Since this hotel has been locked down,
and the police are everywhere.
The answer is, garbage.
Yeah?
COMPOSIn efforts to mitigate climate change,
this hotel also has a zero waste policy.
And every waste will be recycled.
It is not easy to recycle,
but because I'm a long-term thinker
I also try to find a solution
for this hotel
to take care of nature.
At the same time,
we take care and launder money.
The garbage truck is coming today
for plastic recycling.
Okay?
Don't let anyone know what you are doing.
Yes, sir.
I want to know the status of the case.
Do you know? The bank governor
has called me many times.
The list of suspects
is not confirmed yet, Sir.
But most of the staff here
are really strange.
There's a man
who has no work history at all.
And one who's been living
in London for decades.
Her family is almost bankrupt
but is still seen in luxurious places.
I don't need the biodata of the staff.
All I need are results.
If you don't get
any information by tonight,
I will call off the lockdown.
But, Sir, this is my case.
I have been working on this for months.
Yes.
But until now,
we have not received any information.
We don't know who's Don B's boss.
We also don't know
why they always hang out at the hotel.
Tonight, Aida.
I need results.
If not,
I will assign this case
to another officer.
Maybe Officer Gomez.
Remember, Inspector Aida.
Tonight.
- Understand?
- Okay, Sir.
No way. I don't want this case.
Wow.
ALAMI FLORA RECYCLE CENTRE
[sniffles]
WE ARE WAITING FOR YOUR
DEPOSIT - 8 HOURS TO GO!
Where's the bag?
Ah Foo!
If I tell you the truth...
you would be angry.
[chuckles]
No. I won't get angry.
Tell me now.
Where's the bag?
Taken by someone else.
Huh?
See? You're angry.
I'm not angry. I...
I'm just speaking in a loud voice.
Whom did you give the bag to?
The HR manager.
[cries]
You gave it to the HR?
He's from the management! You're stupid!
That's it. My life is over.
The deposit! My money!
You...
Ah Foo. Do you know
why you're jobless until now?
Because you are stupid!
Right?
Folding boats!
Stupid! I don't even know
why I entertain people like you.
[melancholy music playing]
[crying]
Wow!
Such a beautiful room.
Do we have to pay if we eat these?
Hey. My daughter is the CEO, right?
Of course it's free.
What is free?
Excuse me.
Sorry, Miss Izan.
I just want to show the room...
To your mother?
Yes, that's me.
- Madam.
- Datin.
Datin, I don't know how to say this
but your daughter is a liar.
She's not the CEO of this hotel but just...
A housekeeping staff?
Yes, I know.
Mama, you know?
Yes.
She's not the CEO.
But I know she's a diligent worker.
So tonight, we sleep in this room, right?
Huh?
- This room...
- It's already lockdown now.
Don't tell me we have to sleep in the
lobby, when there are empty rooms.
Come, Sally.
Let's go and see the swimming pool.
[giggles]
Hmm.
You were so brazen.
[both laugh]
Ma...
[melancholy music playing]
Why didn't you tell me that you knew?
I know.
You only came back
because your dad passed away.
And you're willing to do anything,
so that I think
that our life is still perfect.
If I had known the truth...
you wouldn't have come back, right?
[music intensifies]
[music fades]
We have been wondering for a long time
why Don B keeps coming to this hotel.
[suspenseful music playing]
Apparently...
ALAMI FLORA NATURAL RECYCLING CENTRE
Look at this, who approved it?
APPROVED BY ZAHID SABRI HR MANAGER
HR MANAGER
I think he uses recycling
to cover all his operations.
Madam,
you'd better solve this case tonight.
I don't want to take over this case.
[music fades]
Ah Foo. What's wrong? Where's Johan?
Are you crying?
No, I'm not.
Actually, I'm thinking about
the orphans who are less fortunate.
Their lives are sad.
Just like mine.
Why sad?
[melancholy music playing]
[cell phone dings]
MOLLY - YOU'D BETTER COME
TO THE LOCKER ROOM. NOW!
[sighs]
I didn't even pass SPM.
All my friends passed.
They found jobs
and they're having a good life.
And for me,
on this my first day of work...
Ah Foo.
All of us have different lives.
Look at my situation.
If I were to compare with my friends,
they are all CEOs, managers.
But look at me.
Housekeeping.
That's okay.
As long as we focus on our goals.
But the most important thing is,
don't compare.
Don't blame others or the situation,
- and accept the truth.
- [clears throat]
What are you doing here?
[sighs]
Isn't it better we go look for that bag?
[dramatic music playing]
Aren't you angry anymore?
It's pointless for me to be angry.
I won't get anything out from it.
Like Molly said, we have to be focused
if we want to succeed.
You can't blame fate, nor others.
Okay, guys, we have to think,
what if we get the money?
Someone is dead.
That means
we have to get away from here.
How about we go...
- Hat Yai?
- Hat Yai?
- Can I play in the sand?
- Hat Yai?
- I can play in the sand!
- Okay, Johan. Look, all right?
Now, the killer is still looking
for the money.
Don't you think he will find us all?
If we are in Hat Yai, we will start
a new life and you will open a restaurant.
I can play in the sand!
Hat Yai.
[upbeat music playing]
[music stops]
Isn't that our bag?
- Hello? May I ask you?
- Hello?
[all scream]
Don't be a busybody.
This has nothing to do with you.
Okay, take it easy. Chill. Relax.
Don't make any trouble.
We can't just let them go.
The money is in the bag.
Since we're already in it...
Let's finish it. I like it.
Let's go!
[upbeat music playing]
Hey!
Lindi!
[Lindi] Like this? Johan?
What happened?
What happened? What should I do?
What's wrong?
What should I do?
What are you doing?
[laughs]
[groans]
[groans]
[groans]
Abang Johan!
[screams]
Abang Johan!
[upbeat music playing]
[groans]
Abang Johan.
[grunting]
The bag!
Why is HR wearing cowboy clothes?
He's the one who punched me.
Then, he took the bag!
Go!
Come on!
Where's the bag?
[both grunting]
Where's the bag?
[grunting]
Use another list, yeah?
[grunting and groaning continues]
Johan! What are you doing?
Doing what?
[grunting and groaning continues]
[dramatic music continues]
Hey, stop! Get out of this lift now!
Get out now!
Okay. This is not my fault.
Please, I don't want to go to jail. Help.
You're not going to jail.
The most is you need, is to pay a dowry.
We are from the National Moral Department.
Oh. Okay.
Do you work here?
Is Suite 222 on this floor?
Datuk Mahmud's suite.
Datuk Mahmud's suite. That's right.
Peace be upon you, Datuk.
We are from the National Moral Department.
What's wrong?
We received a complaint
about a khalwat case.
Datuk, I'm really sorry.
I really don't know who they are...
You made a mistake.
There's no girl here.
Baby...
Why are there so many people?
- I thought you wanted to go to the sauna.
- I'm going now.
Datuk, can you explain who this girl is?
This...
- This is my wife.
- Wife?
[suspenseful music playing]
When did you get married?
We are married.
We are to be married tonight.
In this hotel.
- Right, Miss Izan?
- Really?
Yes. Yes.
Cik Izan,
you promised that this hotel can deliver
any request from any guest. Right?
Definitely.
[dramatic music playing]
[Aida] Okay, boys, listen up.
Drug smuggling, money laundering.
When I entered HR's picture
in the database, apparently he is...
MAIN SUSPEC...Don A,
a highly wanted brutal criminal.
I suspect Don A
is the leader of Don B's gang.
The problem is,
is the secret list with him?
We have to arrest the HR
or Don A tonight itself.
Tonight...
[gun cocks]
...we are closing the case. Got it?
Yes, Madam.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Don A] What kind of gangster are you?
What are you looking at?
Why are you looking at him?
What kind of gangster are you?
Where did you get it from?
You...
Stand up straight. What are you avoiding?
What kind of gangster are you?
You two. I can't believe
you can lose to housekeeping staff!
I want my money, do you understand?
If I don't get it I will recycle you all,
one by one!
What are you waiting for? Reload!
[guns cock]
[panting]
Let's go!
[dramatic music playing]
Abang Johan, what is our next plan?
- Where's the black bag?
- [Johan] Don't worry.
I've kept it in a safe place.
- Johan.
- There must be food during a party, right?
Why don't we disguise as caterers
and follow the van when it moves?
Okay, as long as I get my share
before we go to Hat Yai.
- I can play in the sand?
- Hat Yai...
You go first. I'll catch up.
Are you worried that Johan
will leak our secret to his wife?
Um...
- Aida.
- [Molly] I don't think so.
Where are you going?
Is the lockdown over?
I don't have time to entertain you.
I need to find this one person by tonight.
If not, my case is gone.
I go first.
For you.
[sighs]
Thanks.
- You always remember me.
- Always.
But you?
- Dear, can't you see I'm trying?
- For what?
You never supported me.
You don't know how to take care of me.
- I'm done.
- I'm sorry. I...
[melancholy music playing]
[grunts]
Let's go.
We start a new life in Hat Yai.
- Yes!
- Okay!
Relax. Steady?
[upbeat music playing]
[music fades]
Where are you going?
Catering.
[suspenseful music playing]
Okay, move.
Yes, sir.
Johan. It's lockdown. You cannot go out!
[suspenseful music playing]
That's the gangster
the police are looking for.
Run!
[policeman] Backup! Backup!
The suspect was spotted at Exit D.
Hey, Johan. Lockdown! You cannot go out!
[music intensifies]
You!
Three of the staff are trying to run away.
Unit two to four. Guard Exit A to C now.
Hey.
Isn't that our bag?
They...
Basement.
Don't do that.
What's wrong with you?
[suspenseful music playing]
Here!
STAFF ENTRANCE
[gunshots]
[laughs]
[Don A] All right.
Are you all willing to die for that bag?
Hey, don't be like this.
You're rich. Big salary and big car.
What else do you want?
This is not the way to save the Earth.
All right. All right. All right.
So, you expect me
to donate the three million?
- Three million?
- Easier to divide into three.
[all scream]
[policeman] Drop your weapon!
Drop your weapon!
Drop your weapon!
Whoa!
- Now!
- Come on, Inspector. Don't interfere.
Hey! That's my bag!
- Hey, no!
- Excuse, excuse, excuse me. That's my bag.
What are you doing here?
Hey, you always meddle in my affairs.
[Don A] Really? I'll do it again.
Put your gun down, all right.
Don't interfere!
[all clamouring]
Shut up!
Okay, relax, relax. Let's talk about it.
We can talk about it.
We can talk using our initiative?
What initiative!
I'll shoot you!
[dramatic music playing]
[gunshots]
[echo] Man down! Backup! Backup!
Inspector!
Let's settle this now!
Aida!
Johan!
Don't move!
Don't move!
Put your weapon down!
[groans]
- Johan! Dear.
- Dear, I'm going to die.
Don't say that.
- I'm seriously injured.
- No. No, no, no.
Dear.
- Tell me where did you get hurt.
- I want to go home.
Okay, yes, yes, we'll go home!
- Where are you hurt?
- My leg! I can't feel it.
I can't feel my legs.
[groans]
There's nothing here.
The bullet missed you. Just a small wound.
But it's painful.
[policeman] Madam.
[groans]
Durian?
Eh. That's my durian,
the seed is very hard to find, you know!
Hey, shorty.
I will mess up your life forever.
- [all clamouring]
- Stop! Stop!
Stop!
- Stop!
- Sit down!
- [gunshot]
- Stop!
- Bring them to the police station now!
- Move!
- Move!
- Let's go!
Shut up!
Hurry up!
Madam, Don A has disappeared.
[upbeat music playing]
[tense music playing]
I HAVE MY OWN WAY
TO TAKE CARE OF YOU
Lockdown is over.
[upbeat music playing]
Hey. Where's Johan, Ah Foo and Molly?
You're going to be fine, okay?
- Thank you very much.
- [Lindi] Thank you.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- [Cik Izan] Congratulations.
Don't forget.
- I'm sorry about everything.
- [Cik Izan] Be careful.
Thank you.
Peace be upon you.
[Aida] Mr. Razak?
I need to have a word with you.
[music stops]
Inspector,
before you ask me any questions,
let me tell you this.
I have a lawyer in KL
whose charges are extremely expensive
and the's the best in KL.
I can actually sue you
because this is an unlawful arrest.
Did you hear that?
Unlawful arrest!
- Unlawful arrest?
- Mm-hmm.
No one's under arrest, Mr. Razak.
Ah. Okay, good. I don't want the drink.
We only have a few questions to ask you.
For example...
why was there
a download from a protected server
to your desktop on August 28?
The server only had secured clearance
including for you,
who was the IT supplier
of the National Bank five years ago?
Why did you download the list
of offshore accounts of famous people?
[laughs]
I work in the IT field. That's my job.
[continues laughing]
Okay.
If I do a DNA test on a USB
that contains government secrets...
found in the hotel...
there would be no trace of your DNA?
Stealing and selling government secrets
is no small crime, Mr. Razak.
Okay, look. They called me.
I didn't look for them.
I came and gave it to them.
Imagine, I had given them the USB
but there was no money.
I thought they wanted to betrayed me.
[tense music playing]
My money?
Chill, relax.
You act like a newbie in this business.
- Calm down.
- Nothing.
I've given what you asked for.
Just give me my money.
[coughs]
Or do you want me to call the governor?
Hello, governor.
Someone is selling government secrets.
Shut up!
[laughs]
Or I'll call your wife.
Hello, ma'am.
Your husband accepted a bribe.
[laughs]
Shut up! You shut up!
Now you're scared!
Shut up!
How dare you!
[grunting]
I'll kill you!
[both grunting and groaning]
[tense music playing]
[both grunting]
Shut up!
I've never done anything like this!
You don't want to pay me!
And you want to tell my wife? Go ahead!
I'll marry your mother!
I'll be your stepfather, then you'll know!
[choking]
I'll tell your secret...
[music fades]
[panting]
[Molly] Housekeeping.
[tense music playing]
I, I...
[sighs]
How did you find the USB?
THE NEXT DAY...
[upbeat music playing]
[Ah Foo] I'm coming, Molly.
Don't worry, Kak Molly.
I counted yesterday. Everything is okay.
I'm just checking.
After what happened last night,
anything is possible, right?
Yes. Who would have thought that Lulian
hid her durian bag in the same place?
[speaking in Hokkien]
Inside.
[speaking in Hokkien]
Got it?
- Okay?
- Okay.
Come on.
I'm still confused.
Why was Song Sam's scarf
in Don B's room?
[Molly] Actually, Song Sam held in-room
private yoga sessions for the guests.
You know the hotel doesn't allow that,
don't you?
That's how he gets extra income
to pay for his apartment and his car.
Come on, you're sweating, sir.
Very good. Continue doing!
Yes! Come, and change your leg!
Change your leg!
Same thing. One...
[Ah Foo] But who gave the USB
to Inspector Aida?
[Molly] Hmm. Who do you think?
[suspenseful music playing]
NO ENTRY
HOTEL RENOVATION
[cell phone rings]
Speak of the devil.
- Hello?
- Hi, Molly.
Where are you?
Uh.
I don't think
I'll go to Hat Yai with you guys.
You know
if you don't go to Hat Yai with us,
Don A will come look for you
and the money.
[Johan] Yes, I know.
If he finds me,
I will try and talk to him.
- Are you sure about this?
- Yes.
When I think back...
I can't run away from my problems.
I have to settle all of this
according to my own style.
I take care of housekeeping.
Now,
let me take care of my marriage instead.
Bye.
[mellow music playing]
[upbeat song playing]
- Ah Foo, let's go.
- Okay.
Hurry up!
Move!
[laughs]
Bye!
You can't run away from me!
I'll see you soon!
