Padu (2024) Movie Script
1
We're in the final quarter of the game,
where Thailand
is still leading Malaysia, 66-62,
with just under four minutes left
in the game,
in the Women's Basketball Finals,
2013 SEA Games, Myanmar.
That's right! And if Harimau Malaysia
can hold on against
the Thai Elites' relentless attacks
and win this match,
the chances of them bringing home
the SEA Games Gold Medal
- will be much higher.
- Go, Izzati!
Yes! Harimau Malaysia needs this win
- to restore their bruised pride
- Felicia, ball!
From the 2011 SEA Games,
where they only succeeded
in bringing home the Bronze Medal,
after winning consecutive Gold Medals
in the last three SEA Games,
in 2001, 2003, and 2007.
Dad.
Panchawarana.
- Panchawarana.
- Dad.
Yes.
You're home early today.
I got my work done earlier.
If Thailand loses to Indonesia tomorrow,
Malaysia will be tied with the Philippines
on top of the table
in this Round-Robin tournament.
And based on Malaysia's
higher goal difference
compared to the Philippines,
Harimau Malaysia will win the Gold Medal!
Mulan!
Why are they playing so rough?
That's how contact sports are played.
They're not playing Congkak.
You're rude.
- Come on, Mulan! You can do it.
- Yes.
Malaysia has the ball and is pushing hard.
Nice! A three-pointer
by the Malaysian Captain, Nur Izzati.
Now, only five points
separate Thailand and Malaysia.
An attack is being initiated
by the Malaysian Vice-Captain, Mulan,
a pass to Chantelle Davis.
The player who just returned from the US.
She scores!
Only 21 seconds left on the clock
and Thailand is still
ahead of Malaysia, 72-69.
- Malaysia just needs three points to tie
- Defend!
And push this game into overtime.
It's a miss by the Thais' best player.
Now Mulan has the ball.
A pass to Wong who sends it
to the Malaysian Captain
at the end of the court.
The fate of Harimau Malaysia
winning the gold
for the 12th time at the SEA Games
now rests solely
on Captain Nur Izzati Yaakob.
Come on, Izzati.
BRONZE AGAIN FOR HARIMAU MALAYSIA
It's pretty.
I'll take a picture.
One, two, three.
Nice.
So do I keep this?
Hold on to it. I still have
the bronze medal from two years ago.
Although the shape is different,
the color is the same.
I can't believe you failed me again.
What is it that you don't understand?
I've taught you so well.
All my skills and you're not doing it.
I brought you back from America
and put you
in the best basketball team in Malaysia,
and this is what you do?
You fail me all the time!
Why do you do this?
Chantelle?
When will I ever get to play
in a SEA Games?
I'm a national player,
but every time there is a big game,
I'm benched.
Ana, as long as you're wearing
a scarf on your head,
you will never
What's wrong with you, Wong?
You guys.
Guys.
I apologize for missing that shot.
That's how a competition goes.
You win some, you lose some.
It's not your fault. It was just bad luck.
Bad luck? You're an idiot.
If I had taken the shot,
we would have won.
Don't be so confident.
Why are you so arrogant?
Admit it. You know it's a fact.
We lost the gold again, Izzati.
And that's all on you.
Don't you worry and don't be sad.
You'll get wrinkles faster.
We'll train even more.
But this time, hard training. Okay, girls?
- Okay, Coach.
- Okay, Coach.
We must win the gold medal.
- Understand?
- Yes.
Good job, girls.
Congratulations, Harimau Malaysia.
You held the Thai Elites well,
at the very last second last night.
Outstanding effort, Yoong.
Coach, I'll take the girls up first.
Yoong, come on, we are all winners.
Silver, bronze.
It's time for a celebration.
Maybe a drink or two?
Come on, like the old times.
Congratulations on your silver, Aquino.
Your girls deserve it.
And do we deserve the bronze?
Babe.
What are you talking about, Coach?
Mulan.
Take the girls up and rest.
Girls.
We have an early flight tomorrow morning.
Go upstairs and rest.
I think Coach Yoong
wants to hook up with him.
Watch your mouth. They've been
close friends for a very long time.
So that's why we keep losing
to the Philippines.
Sorry.
- Malaysia!
- We can do it!
Okay, since the national team wins,
how do you feel
Well, okay.
So I guess we're invisible.
- Here's the dreamer bunch,
- Babe.
Promised us the gold,
- but comes home with only the bronze.
- I want to know.
Mom.
Yes, I just landed.
We're heading back to the hostel.
You don't have to worry.
I'll call again later.
Bye, Mom.
Kalai is amazing!
You never miss.
When I'm as tall as her,
I want to play just like her.
You can't even chase me.
Kalai, can you teach me
how to throw the ball?
I want to show Johan a thing or two.
Have you ever taken a shot before?
Just focus.
Remember, don't use your palm,
use your two fingers.
- Okay.
- Okay.
One, two, shoot.
Yes!
Well done! Yes!
- High five!
- Yes!
Kalai, go home now.
Raj.
Kalai and I are...
You stay out of this.
I've known you for a long time.
Don't you dare sell
your nonsensical dreams to my daughter.
Ang!
What's the benefit
of playing for the national team?
Tell your daughter not to waste time
with useless ambitions.
Uncle Ramesh,
what do you know about ambitions?
You don't know anything
about the suffering of our people.
You're just a kid.
Times have changed.
Humans don't change.
Basketball is not for our people.
You can go ahead and train your own race.
Enough!
Go home, Kalai. Now!
BRONZE MEDAL 2013 MYANMAR
- Izzati!
- Izzati!
- Izzati!
- Izzati!
- Izzati!
- Izzati!
- Izzati!
- Izzati!
You disappoint me, Zati. You failed again.
I'm so sorry.
I've tried my very best.
You told me the same thing two years ago.
Just 2 months
before the 2011 SEA Games in Indonesia
and our national
basketball team's star player
loses her dad to lung cancer.
Will this devastating loss
interfere with Izzati's focus
and performance in the SEA Games?
Can Harimau Malaysia bring home the gold,
the pride of our beloved country?
You need to move on
from that missed shot, Zati.
It's not our time yet.
You need to accept that.
When will it ever be our time?
I missed that shot, Mulan!
I failed.
You need to accept that fact.
You're right.
You did fail.
And you failed badly.
So what are you going to do about it?
What am I supposed to do about it?
Should I be depressed like you?
So without the gold medal,
we don't deserve to be called
the Malaysian Team anymore?
Is that what you believe in?
Look, Izzati.
Let it pass.
The most important thing is,
we've tried our best.
No regrets, right?
You know why the gold
is important to me, right, Mulan?
I know and I get it, Zati.
That is why
you need to strengthen your resolve.
In two years,
we're going to get a chance
to redeem our dignity and pride
by claiming back the gold
that belongs to us.
We're running out of time.
We need you, Captain.
The girls need you to be strong, Coach.
- Don't waste any more time.
- Yes, Dato.
I selected you to be an assistant coach
for a reason.
I know your capabilities
to replace Coach Tan.
- But
- Yes, I know.
Honestly speaking,
I'm a bit disappointed
for not winning the gold.
But I'll be angry, if I know
you and your girls never give it all.
But I know you girls gave it all!
To the team and to the nation.
I'm proud of it.
Just win better next time.
Yes, Harris.
Coach Yoong.
I think I've found our answer
to win the gold
for 2015 SEA Games.
Okay, girls.
After training, let's go
and eat Kak Joy's prawn noodles.
Okay, let's!
But you're buying, okay?
- You're the one who should be buying.
- You can afford it.
- Hello.
- Hi.
Hi, you're lucky to win medals.
Not really.
We're just better than you guys.
Yes, the women's team has 11 golds.
You guys?
Just two.
- Better than nothing.
- We'll win one more.
What?
Did someone die?
I know that you're all disappointed.
Disappointed? More like ashamed, Coach!
I didn't return from the US
just to win the bronze.
Chantelle is right.
We can't waste any time.
The bronze helps the country
in the medal tally.
But we all know that
what we truly want is
- Gold!
- Gold!
In the next SEA Games,
we will win back the gold for our country.
We will be the best again!
Whatever it takes.
- Yes, Coach!
- Yes, Coach!
Izzati!
Come on, Izzati. You got this!
Come on.
You can either keep blaming yourself
and stay weak.
Or rise up again and be the strong Izzati
that I have always known.
Our gold is delayed,
but not denied.
Yes, Coach.
- I'm telling you to get out right now.
- Sir.
You have wasted our time.
You should not have come here.
You need to go home, now!
Sir, you are not Kalai's dad.
You have no right to decline my offer.
What do I care?
Mr. Raj, please.
Kalai is talented.
She'll bring glory to the nation.
What kind of glory? She'll be ridiculed.
People will insult her
because of her skin color.
Do you understand?
Sir, it's 2013 now.
Yes.
This is my final decision.
Kalai is not going anywhere.
You should go home.
Now, you've heard it from the dad himself.
- Now, go.
- Sir.
You don't have to argue.
The dad told you to go,
now the uncle is telling you to go.
Just go.
Go. Leave!
What else do you want?
Get out of here. Go!
Do you understand?
Don't give me that look.
I love endurance training.
Okay, stop.
Water break.
Zati, are you okay?
That hurts.
Hey. Mulan, don't do it.
There's no need.
Can you stand? Try.
Serves her right.
Mulan!
Hey!
What is this about?
Coach, she pushed me.
Yes, I saw it.
- I told you.
- Okay.
Everybody down.
Two hundred sit-ups.
What, Coach? Everyone?
All of you, except for Mulan and Felicia.
- Come in front.
- What?
Down!
Let's go, girls!
Come in, it's your office anyway.
Just giving a heads up,
Coach Tan might get shocked.
So are you guys discussing
the new playbook?
Of course not.
That's both of your jobs.
Then what are you and Coach talking about?
Our biggest sponsor pulled out.
Because we lost the gold?
We were kind of expecting this
to happen, right?
But as you said, "A win is a win."
Unfortunately to them,
it's either gold or nothing.
Dato,
that day, you asked me
to motivate the girls,
raise their spirits up.
Now, you want me to tell them
that our sponsor is out,
funding is cut,
and their allowance will be affected?
What am I supposed to tell the girls?
Then don't tell them,
nobody is supposed to know.
And about their allowances,
there's no need to cut.
At least for now.
So how will MABA survive?
Okay, we will struggle. Definitely.
So we need to cut costs.
Recently, you secured a new player.
The other player
who is just warming the bench,
- we release her.
- No. Ana is staying.
Come on, you know too well
that she can't play
as long as she's wearing the hijab.
Dato, that is for international games.
She can still play in other games.
She's a good player.
All right, even though she's good,
but the point is...
The point is Ana is good and she deserves
to be in the national team.
Coach Yoong,
I just want to do my job, okay?
With all due respect, Dato,
please do your job.
Your job is to find sponsors
and ensure MABA carries on.
Keeping good players in our team,
that's our job.
Let's go.
How do I look?
Disgusting.
Come on.
Heading out for a party, I see.
If Coach hears that, we're screwed.
Afraid, but you still do it.
Who's afraid?
Even though we go out partying,
our performance is always on point.
You guys are sissies.
I am really starting
to regret coming back.
If you were doing so well in the US,
why did you bother coming back?
Because all of you are unreliable.
My country needs me.
You don't need to be proud
of your time in the US.
Do you think all the skills
that you learned there can be used here?
Shut it, villager.
What's the point of having skills
if you're just warming the bench?
Villager?
This wannabe white woman is asking for it.
- Say that again.
- Felicia.
Don't bother.
It's not worth it.
We'll ruin our expensive dresses.
Keep sitting on the bench.
Shall we?
If I have magical powers,
I'll lock Chantelle's mouth shut.
What a snob!
And you still stand
by your principles, Ana.
About my hijab?
This isn't about principles.
This is about religion.
You're not afraid of being released
one day because of your hijab?
Me, afraid?
God will look after me.
My dear sweetheart.
It's just a blackout.
Why are you afraid?
"God will look after you."
I'm not afraid.
Let's go turn on the lights.
Okay.
But come with me, okay?
- Okay.
- Okay.
Let's go.
Come here to the front.
Put the lights on me.
A bit more to the front.
Do you guys know,
that my real name is Anavau.
In the Kadazan language, it means light.
So you girls need not worry,
I will shine a light onto your darkness.
Relax.
Calm down. Okay?
Don't be afraid, don't panic.
I told you to walk in front of me.
Hurry up, it's dark here.
Who is that?
Zati?
- Mom.
- Yes?
When I made that shot,
I saw Dad.
And when I missed it,
I saw he was disappointed.
I didn't know
dead people can feel disappointment.
It's just your feeling.
If he is still around,
he'd tell you to strengthen your spirit.
It's not the end of the world yet.
Listen.
As long as you are in the national team,
there will always be a chance for you
to bring home the gold medal.
My daughter is a black belt holder.
But inside, she is still a softie.
Mom.
- You don't get it.
- You're the one not getting it.
When you first went crazy
about basketball,
to the point of wanting
to quit tae kwon do,
your dad supported your interest,
but he persuaded you
to complete tae kwon do first, right?
Why? Because he didn't like
his daughter leaving halfway.
He didn't want his daughter
to be a quitter.
If you start on something
Make sure
that it's completed successfully.
Smart girl.
Here.
A gold medal and this black belt here
are just symbols of your destination.
The intentions and desire to win
has to go hand-in-hand,
so you can't lose your spirit.
Understood?
Understood, Mom.
Come. I'm proud of you, Zati.
Thank you, Mom.
Dad is proud of you too.
Hello, Ah Po?
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Your birthday is tomorrow, Ah Po.
I wanted to call you at midnight tonight.
I'm about to turn 84 years old.
I can't stay up until midnight anymore.
Yes, right, that's not old.
What a rude granddaughter I have.
You're bringing Izzati along
tomorrow, right?
Yes, I will,
but we don't have any presents.
We didn't have time to buy.
Both you and Izzati are presents to me.
But could you get me
some of that Kak Joy's prawn noodles?
How do you know
that we are eating prawn noodles now?
I'll bring some for you, okay?
Bye. Take care of yourself.
Okay, bye.
Sorry.
Mr. Bartender.
Hurry up.
Hi. You look hot today.
A little gift for you.
Take it.
No, stop.
Don't.
If Coach does a urine test tomorrow,
you're going to be screwed.
Please don't be so boring,
baby girl.
Chantelle.
Yes!
Did you see that, Dad?
I'm a natural. That's why
I really want to play basketball.
My daughter wants to do everything.
Tae kwon do, basketball.
You were the one who told me
to try everything that I want to.
That's right.
But don't go hobby hopping.
If you truly want to learn basketball,
I'll find the best coach for you.
With one condition,
you can't quit tae kwon do.
I do not want my daughter
To do things halfway.
Smart girl.
Izzati Yaakob
shall be "Mouse in the House".
- Yes!
- Yes!
Yes!
Dad!
Yes!
- That's my daughter, right there.
- She's a good player.
Thanks.
-Welcome to MABA.
- Thank you.
We waited a long time to get this.
But in the end
You have a black belt.
And you're in the national team.
My job is done.
I can go now.
You have to be strong.
- Dad
- I am strong, Zati.
But my sickness right here,
it won't stop telling me to meet God.
I have not made you proud yet.
From the first moment you were born,
until this moment right now,
I've never stopped being proud of you.
You need to be strong just like me.
It's okay to be sad.
But don't be depressed for too long.
Dad.
2011 SEA Games in Indonesia
is just around the corner.
It's only three months away.
Whatever happens,
I want you to be there,
the moment I won the gold medal
for Malaysia.
Because
I want you to be the one
who puts the gold medal around my neck.
Just like this.
There
Smart.
Why are you playing alone?
You're always hanging out
at Kak Joy's prawn noodle place.
Mulan.
We only have two years left
to get Thailand and Philippines
on their knees with our shots.
So?
Let's make it rain, baby.
Kalai, hurry up.
Yes, Mom.
Kalai, you need to hurry up.
- Thank you, Mom.
- Hurry.
I don't want you to get in trouble, Mom.
And I don't want your dream
to be destroyed.
You need to chase your dream.
It's for your dad's own good too.
- Go.
- Thank you, Mom.
- Bye.
- Goodbye, Mom.
Sorry, Coach. I had a headache.
Headache or hangover?
What?
Nothing, Coach.
Coach.
Hi.
Welcome to the national team, Kalaimathi.
Girls!
Girls, this is your new teammate, Kalai.
Izzati,
introduce her to everyone.
Izzati is your Captain.
Indian?
That's a first.
I'm confident
that Kalai will bring a new spirit
into our team.
Coach.
Go and train them.
I'm Ana.
She's so tall. Good to be our teammate.
Harris, you have to assist Coach Yoong,
like how she assisted me.
I will, Coach.
Kalai.
These are your jerseys.
Thank you, Coach.
Izzati.
Yes, Coach.
Please take her to the dormitory office
and get a room for her.
Yes, Coach.
You haven't even showered yet. We're late.
Kalai,
- do you want to come with us?
- Where to?
Celebrate my grandma's birthday.
You have to go.
Mulan's grandma is the nicest person.
About your room, don't worry.
Ana is here.
Just come with us, okay?
Sure. Thanks, Ana.
It's a small matter. No problem.
Coach.
Aquino.
How are you?
What are you doing here?
Holiday!
It has been a hectic time for the Gilas.
So when I get a few days off,
I flew here straight away.
You miss me.
I miss Malaysian food, but yes,
I miss you too.
Hey.
Is that something that I can see
or is that a government secret?
I have to make sure that the girls
win gold in the upcoming SEABA.
Sponsors are threatening
to pull out if we don't.
It won't be a problem.
The Gilas won't be there.
Yes, and that's so disappointing.
FIBA's rule, we cannot say anything.
Actually, I'm anxious.
Coach Tan is letting me
take charge in Semarang.
- Without him
- So you know where this is going, right?
Yes.
- But I'm not ready yet.
- You'd better be.
You have to catch up with me.
Right now, you are looking
at the new Philippines'
Women National Basketball Team Coach.
Congratulations.
I'm so happy for you.
Wait.
So everything that your mom said
about Coach is true?
Yes.
My mom makes a lot of mistakes,
but she is never wrong about Coach Yoong.
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to Ah Po
- Happy birthday to Ah Po
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
Wait, make a wish first.
The only thing I want for my birthday
is for all of you to bring home
the SEA Games Gold Medal.
- What kind of wish is that?
- Yes, it's just stressingusout.
She's motivating us.
This is why I love Izzati.
Kalai, you must learn from her, okay?
Don't be like my granddaughter
and become a boy.
Just as cute!
Let me blow the candle.
That's not very elderly-like for yourage.
Kalai, why do you want play
for the national team?
I really want to change my family's life
for the better
and bring glory to the country.
Did you hear her answer?
If you ask Mulan, she'll say
she wanted to stay in her own dormitory.
She doesn't want to stay with us.
I come and visit all the time.
I have to tell you.
I'm impressed by her dedication.
She's solid.
What's with the praise?
- Do you want more cake?
- No!
I'm angry now.
Why are you being a kitten?
Now that you have Kalai on your team,
you're truly Team Malaysia.
- What?
- That's right.
We're now
- 1Malaysia.
- 1Malaysia.
1Malaysia.
- Let's eat! I'm hungry.
- Okay.
CHAMPION
- Why?
- We have a problem now.
Put it out.
Hello!
Kalai needs to bunk with you guys.
Can't you squeeze her somewhere else?
No.
The other rooms are taken,
yours is the only one left.
Well, as you can see.
That empty bed is being used.
- Sorry.
- Well,
it's not for you to decide.
Like I care.
Wait.
Hi!
Welcome, new roommate.
Come.
Let me help you.
Felicia, help Kalai with her bag.
Come.
Anything else?
No, right?
Bye.
Something is not right.
You are an absolute genius, babe.
Right?
Hello?
Okay.
Okay.
Yes.
I've got to go. Supervise her.
What are you looking at? Keep scrubbing.
Chantelle?
Where are you going? It's past curfew.
Is it Julie?
Look, if it's Julie,
I can turn a blind eye
and let you out after curfew.
But if you are heading out to a club,
I will have to stop you.
Yes, I know.
You don't have proof.
I have my own ways.
You know that, right, Chantelle?
You really need to start
making decisions as an adult.
You are not my mom.
And I feel that you really need one.
- From a traitor like you?
- Excuse me?
Coach,
you think we don't know
that you've been selling our strategies
to the Philippines
through your boyfriend, Aquino?
You can't accuse me without proof.
I have my ways too.
You have your secrets
and I have mine.
So we're even.
Mom?
Mom.
Mom?
Morning.
Hey, baby girl.
You need to stop drinking.
I don't drink for fun.
I'm celebrating.
Celebrating what?
Didn't you hear the good news?
Your dad will be bringing us back
to the US.
Mom,
that is not happening.
It is so happening.
Baby girl, later,
you'll need to help me pack my things.
Mom.
We belong here.
Okay?
Davis doesn't care about us.
Don't talk about your dad like that.
It's very rude.
I don't have a dad.
This is Davis.
Handsome bugger, isn't he?
- He was a good dad.
- Yes.
So good that he slept with my best friend.
My rightful place is by his side.
I want to go home.
Mom.
This is home now.
Please, Mom.
Please
I have matches that I need to win.
Okay.
I'll let your dad know,
we're coming home a little later then.
After your matches.
Okay?
Or maybe
My baby girl, could you call your dad?
Please?
He never answers my calls.
I don't know why.
Please
Please
Fine.
- Okay.
- Good girl.
Here, Izzati.
Chantelle.
Kalai.
Kalai.
Wait, that's my ball.
Kalai, what are you doing?
- Kalai!
- Kalai!
What was that?
What?
Kalai.
Kalai.
Izzati.
Pass!
Kalai!
Come here.
Kalai.
Your technique is correct,
but I feel that sometimes...
Oh my God! Izzati just tell her.
- You play like you're having a seizure.
- Chill.
You're blocking everyone.
You're getting in everyone's way.
- Calm down, she's new.
- Idiot!
Kalai, come out.
Meg, you are in.
Let's go!
Are you also going to tell me
that I play like a crazy woman?
No.
But I have to tell you that today,
you are all over the place.
My dad was right.
Someone from Segamat like me,
should not be playing
for the national team.
Look.
Mulan is from Segamat, did you know that?
When she first arrived here, her form
was all over the place, just like you.
But now, she's great.
Maybe what she and you
learned from Segamat
is different from what we practice here.
But Coach,
this is the only way I know how to play.
If you tell me to play differently,
that's not me.
Mulan is still Mulan.
Izzati is still Izzati.
Ana who came from a rural part of Sabah
has adjusted well to our system here.
Don't worry, Kalai.
That is why Coach Tan and I are here.
We'll train you to be the best together.
I told you.
You belong there
and our country needs you.
Hey, are you crying?
No, Mom.
I'm just very sleepy.
It's late now.
Mom, are you sick?
No.
Just a little bit of cough.
Have you seen a doctor?
Your dad will take me.
You should rest.
I miss you and the family.
We miss you too.
But we're even prouder of you.
Please take good care of yourself.
I will.
Who is that?
Kalai.
Is she coming home?
Far from it.
Kalai has a strong spirit. Unlike you.
Don't you insult me.
I'm a bit confused.
Are you jealous of your own daughter?
What? Me?
Jealous of my own daughter?
What nonsense is that.
Because Kalai has the guts
to chase her own dream.
You are too afraid to get out
of your comfort zone.
You are afraid of failure.
Prayers alone do not make one holy
without a pure heart.
Kalai, are you buying dinner?
Yes, for Chantelle and Felicia.
Don't they have their own limbs?
Come sit.
Are they forcing you to do their chores?
Kalai.
It's okay. You can tell us.
My dad was right.
People like me
will be insulted and reviled
- because of my skin color.
- That's not true.
There is no racial sentiment here.
You don't get it, Mulan.
You've never experienced being looked down
upon because you are different.
I understand, Kalai.
I went through the exact same thing.
When I first started out
playing basketball,
I thought it was only for the Chinese.
But when I played with the team,
no, we're all the same.
Our blood is red.
And we play to win for our country.
Anyway, Chantelle and Felicia
are bullying you
because they are bullies.
It has nothing to do
with your background,
place of origin, or your race, okay?
Okay, fine.
We're going to put a stop to this.
We'll meet Chantelle and Felicia.
But not tonight.
I'm tired.
Kalai, let us know
when you're ready, okay?
Izzati, Mulan,
Ana,
Meg, and Kalai.
This is the first-five, team lineup
for the SEABA Cup.
What about me, Coach?
What about you?
Did I say your name?
That's why she's asking.
On the bench.
Bullshit.
I am your coach for SEABA.
Please respect my decision.
Coach, we're not disrespecting you.
We just want to know,
why is that rookie
who plays like a madman gets selected
and we're not.
You two are punished for breaking curfew.
Kalai did not.
Understood?
This is a joke.
- This team is a joke.
- Chantelle.
Where is Kalai?
What is this?
What are you doing here?
Your coach called,
asking if you came home.
What should I answer?
Tell her I'm quitting.
I don't belong there.
What are you talking about?
Kalai!
Let's play a game.
Take this.
I was a basketball player
when I was young too.
You never told me about this.
Where do you think
you got your talent from?
It's from my blood.
No one around me supported my dream.
Do you know what they said?
This game is not for people
with my skin color.
It broke my heart so much
that I quit the entire sport.
Did you regret it?
Always.
I regret stopping you from playing.
I regret not supporting you.
I regret letting you train with Ang
when I am a better player than Ang.
Would you teach me?
I'll teach you but you have
to make one promise to me.
That you will teach the same lessons
to your teammates. Deal?
Are you a Malaysian basketball player?
I'm Kalai. I play for Malaysia.
Girls, this is our first game here.
I need you to give your all.
- We need to win.
- Coach.
- We will
- Win!
Okay, girls.
Do you see that white guy over there?
Sitting next to the SEABA officials.
- What about him?
- The lady beside him
is a scout from WNBA.
All right.
Let's go.
- United
- Malaysia!
Damn it!
Of course the scout's going to be here
on the day I'm freaking stuck
on this stupid bench.
I'm Chantelle.
Hi.
Ready? One, two.
Mulan.
Stop.
There has been
a violation of the rules by Malaysia.
Partners.
What's happening?
Go ask him.
Referee, what's going on?
- Why?
- I'm sorry, Coach.
Player number 13 needs to be changed.
- Ana? Why?
- Yes.
Her attire is not allowed by the rules.
Those rules only apply in FIBA,
SEA Games, and the Olympics,
- and not SEABA.
- It does now.
We are in the middle of the game.
- How can you just change the rules?
- The rules are the rules.
- Either you change your player
- You are being ridiculous.
- Or be disqualified from the game.
- No, we are in the middle of the game.
- Why are you changing it now?
- Technical foul for the Malaysian Coach.
This is bullshit!
We have already submitted that...
Disqualification for Malaysian Coach.
Out of the court.
Who are you? Why are you...
Go out now!
You are just a referee.
- Go out now.
- You can't just change
the rules like that.
Technical foul for the Malaysian Coach.
Disqualified foul for Malaysian Coach.
Number 13, substitute.
Ana.
Let's go.
Chantelle, you're in.
I'm so sorry, Coach.
Ana, don't.
Don't do something stupid.
I did not fight for you for nothing.
In life,
we each hold our own principles.
Your principles never waivered.
But because of this hijab,
we were both
thrown out of the court, Coach.
We can't even be at courtside.
No.
I was thrown out
because I stood up for my player.
You are my player
and that's my responsibility.
Kalai!
Yes!
Chantelle...
Hey!
- Teamwork, Chantelle!
- Yes.
Yes!
Felicia.
- Warm up.
- Okay.
Yes, Coach.
Foul!
That's a foul.
- Referee, that was a foul.
- Kalai, don't.
Calm down.
You need to suck it up! Let's go.
Chantelle, no!
It's ACL.
The tear is quite extensive this time.
How extensive?
I don't care how bad it is, Coach.
All I care about
is how fast can I recover.
Izzati, this is your fourth injury.
With a tear like this, I can't guarantee...
Come on, doctor, give us
only the options and possibilities.
We don't need guarantees.
Okay, we'll operate as soon as we can.
After that, it will depend
on your rehab and spirit.
Usually, it will take
seven to eight months.
We can still make it for SEA Games, Coach.
You see it, right?
Izzati fell down because of Chantelle.
It was an accident.
If the referee didn't flag it,
then it's not a foul.
I understand.
At least Chantelle needs to take
responsibility for what she did to Izzati.
Do you really think Chantelle did it?
I pity Mulan.
She seems lost without Izzati.
You're lost too, aren't you?
Suddenly bunking in our room.
This is Izzati's pillow.
She allowed me to sleep in her bed.
Okay so then,
can you please wash my shoes?
It was you, wasn't it?
I saw you talking to Coach.
You're a rat.
I think you're too over, Chantelle.
This is too much.
- Why do you care?
- I saw what you did at the court.
You have no idea what I had
to go through to get to where I am.
- So who are you?
- This is not an excuse.
This is not an excuse for you
- to do what you did.
- Don't get involved.
Sit down and mind your own business.
What do you want?
What's going on?
Hey.
- Hi, ma'am.
- Hi.
You can wake her.
She has been sleeping a lot.
We'll let her sleep.
- Thank you for coming.
- No problem.
Mulan here misses Izzati so very much.
And you weren't missing her?
Of course I do.
- She's up. Good morning.
- Rise and shine.
I miss you.
- You guys.
- Izzati, are you okay?
Why are you asking a stupid question?
If she's okay, she would have come
to training with us. Geez.
Here, grapes.
- Is everything okay?
- Yes.
We're only waiting for you.
It will take a while.
SEA Games will also be a while.
You should be ready by then.
If you ask me.
With this injury, I won't let her play.
Mom.
Don't
But this daughter of mine
who is fragile but strong-spirited
will not listen to her own mom.
That's right, ma'am.
Izzati is stubborn.
We're all stubborn.
T
Togetherness.
E
- Effort.
- Effort.
- A
- Attitude.
- M
- Mental toughness.
- United Malaysia!
- United Malaysia!
This is a hospital.
- Coach?
- Come in.
You're the one who told SEABA's officials
to kick Ana out, didn't you?
What?
What would I gain if I do that?
You gained a spot in the match
and you got to show off to the scout.
This is all your stupid assumption, right?
I have a witness.
Did your witness see me
talking to the SEABA's officials?
Did your witness hear me
telling them to drop Ana that day?
No.
Then there is nothing to discuss.
Hello?
What?
- Aren't you ashamed?
- I don't care, this is my house.
I can do whatever I want.
- Are you okay?
- Take her in.
Go inside, I'll be there.
Your dad
is going to remarry.
Davis is a jerk.
- Davis is your dad.
- I don't have a dad.
This is Davis, your dad.
He loves you, baby girl.
He made you the baller you are today.
I am good because I'm Chantelle.
You're arrogant, baby girl. You're greedy.
Yes, you're good, we all know that.
But you don't play as a team.
You play like a dog with rabies.
Mom.
You are not qualified to assess my game.
Of course I'm qualified. I am Julie Sim.
I helped Malaysia
to win 6 of out 11 gold medals.
I am Julie the Great!
Well, look at you now.
- Are you okay?
- Yes.
Who do we have here?
Are you trying to play a good mom to her?
I am not trying to be a good mom, Julie.
I'm here because I am responsible
for my players.
At least that makes me a good coach,
just like you,
a long time ago.
You know what, Mom?
Yes, I might play like a mad dog.
But dogs still care
and love their children.
You really don't have
to prove yourself to anyone.
On a good day, you are amazing, Chantelle.
But on most days,
I only know how to step on people
to rise up the rank.
You don't have to do that, Chantelle.
Even though
I've given the best all my life,
that is still not good enough for my mom.
I'm still never good enough.
If you are not good, you wouldn't be
on the national team, Chantelle.
Look,
all of this does not matter anymore.
What's important is,
do you still want to serve for Malaysia?
My heart and soul are 100%
with our country, Coach.
Good.
Then from now on, you'll work with me.
Okay?
Onward and
Forward.
Come in.
We have something to tell you.
I'll just make it easier for you guys.
Coach Yoong, Coach Harris, Coach Tan.
I know that I am the player
with most time spent on the bench.
I'm grateful for all the opportunities
and the lessons taught to me.
I'm aware that because of my hijab,
I'm wasting everybody's time and energy.
It's okay, Coach, I've made up my mind,
I've decided to quit the team.
What a long speech that was.
Will you at least sit first?
I give you this letter.
Coach, is this real?
This is an official letter, not a fake?
Yes, Ana.
FIBA has repealed the ban
on wearing hijab in games.
Coach,
that means I can play
in small and big games?
I can't wait to tell my friends
that I can play with them.
- Thank you, Coach.
- You're welcome.
- Ana.
- Coach Yoong.
Let her keep it.
It was worth
defending her at SEABA, right?
Every sacrifice we make for our players
will always be worth it.
Okay, now.
With her on board,
let's go get that gold medal.
Welcome back, Captain.
Izzati.
Hi. Thank you.
If you never recover from this,
you can always join the Paralympic team.
Gosh, you.
Watch your mouth.
Ignore her.
Hey, careful.
I'm okay. I was just showing off.
I can walk on my own.
Since Chantelle stopped showing off
on the court,
I haven't seen an arrogant person.
Sorry.
- Hey.
- All right.
See what happens
when you start showing off?
Otherwise, you can join
the Chantelle Club.
- Chantelle, come here.
- What?
- Come here, now.
- What?
Go ahead and teach her.
Or are you so humbled now?
Girls!
Center court.
Sit.
- Hi, girls.
- Hi.
Izzati, welcome back.
- Thank you, Coach.
- Good to know you're back.
But unfortunately,
I have to deliver a sad...
Happy news.
Yes, you are right.
Well, girls, I will be retiring.
Your beloved Coach Yoong will take over.
- Why?
- Why Coach?
I'm getting tired and I need more rest,
but I want a promise from all of you.
We all promise,
we will not bully Coach Yoong, right?
- Yes.
- It's not that.
She will know
how to get the best out of you.
Then what is the promise?
A promise to bring back the gold.
That's a difficult one to make.
I promise, Coach.
All of us here promise.
For our country.
- Yes.
- Okay, good.
Now I can happily retire.
Good job, Chantelle.
Let's go, team.
Come on.
Move.
One more round.
Looks like they need a new challenge.
What can I do, Dato?
Just leave it to me.
Let's go!
Coach.
What is it?
Have a look.
Actually,
it's an order from the Ministry.
All the girls
who are going to the SEA Games
must go through doping test.
Dato,
all my girls are clear.
I know.
Don't worry, it's just
a safety precaution measure.
I trust them. Don't worry, okay.
Hey, I told you,
don't go touching that thing.
Dad.
Tomorrow, I'm leaving for Singapore.
For the 2015 SEA Games.
I do hope
that this time,
I'll be able to bring home the gold.
Not just for you,
but for myself as well.
And for our beloved country.
MALAYAN RAILWAY LIMITED
Chantelle, can I have a word with you?
Dato, what happened?
We found an illegal substance
in her urine.
She tested positive.
Chantelle.
Open your locker.
I swear that is not drugs.
This is just anti-depressant pills.
Yes, I know. However, it still contains
performance-enhancing substance, right?
I'm sorry.
Your name will be dropped
from representing Malaysia
at the SEA Games in Singapore.
What?
Coach.
Okay, Chantelle, listen.
No one wanted this to happen,
but it did.
Pack your things and leave.
Dato, please.
It's just my meds.
Chantelle!
I said pack your things and leave.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to Singapore.
And Malaysia made
a very short journey across the Straits.
The neighbors to the North,
the once united nations,
returning close ties
Thank you.
Thirteen million and over making it the
43rd most popular country in the world.
Thankfully, my preparation is going well.
Let's see how things unfold
with God's blessings.
Please lend us your support
to the Malaysian basketball team.
My target for this year
is to win gold for Malaysia.
Mulan,
try to smile a bit more.
On television,
you looked like you're nervous.
You are at the SEA Games.
You are not drowning at sea.
Come on forward. Get in the picture.
Yes! One more for Boomerang. One, two
Is the entire estate watching us?
How are you?
- Girls, hurry.
- Have you eaten?
- Hi, sir.
- Hi, ma'am.
We know the game will start soon.
We're all here to support you.
Look who's here.
Your uncle, mom, and everyone else.
Don't worry, sir, ma'am,
we'll take good care of Kalai.
- That's my hometown.
- 2015 Sea Games.
- United
- Malaysia!
Go!
Girls.
Give your all in the court.
Your heart, mind, and soul.
- Yes, Coach!
- Yes, Coach!
Coach, if Chantelle is with us tonight...
Chantelle is here with us in spirit.
I'm sure she's watching us now.
- So let's do this for her.
- Yes!
Chantelle on three.
Okay.
In three, two, one
- Chantelle!
- Chantelle!
Yes!
Yes!
Go, Meg!
Yes!
Hello, archenemy.
This is going to be interesting.
Let's go!
Izzati, go!
Go!
Go!
Good job.
Good job, Mulan.
Thank you.
Girls, good job.
- Yes!
- Yes!
We've only lost one game.
And girls,
Philippines just lost to Indonesia.
- What?
- Seriously?
Yes.
That means they've lost twice,
and we
Coach, no. Don't jinx it.
Yes, Coach, don't you say it.
Girls.
They beat us badly two years ago.
Now is the time for us to beat them.
- Yes, Coach!
- Yes, Coach!
We will deny them their gold today.
- Yes, Coach!
- Harimau on three.
Harimau!
We only have three seconds left.
They are going to do everything
to stop us.
I want you girls to set up
and let Izzati shoot.
- Okay?
- Three, two.
- Yes!
- Yes!
Izzati!
- Okay.
- Okay. United
- Malaysia!
- Malaysia!
Thank you.
- Yes! Well done, Malaysia!
- Yes!
Okay.
Which one?
Yes.
Baby girl.
Stand here.
Come on.
To the most valuable player.
You deserve this.
Congratulations.

We're in the final quarter of the game,
where Thailand
is still leading Malaysia, 66-62,
with just under four minutes left
in the game,
in the Women's Basketball Finals,
2013 SEA Games, Myanmar.
That's right! And if Harimau Malaysia
can hold on against
the Thai Elites' relentless attacks
and win this match,
the chances of them bringing home
the SEA Games Gold Medal
- will be much higher.
- Go, Izzati!
Yes! Harimau Malaysia needs this win
- to restore their bruised pride
- Felicia, ball!
From the 2011 SEA Games,
where they only succeeded
in bringing home the Bronze Medal,
after winning consecutive Gold Medals
in the last three SEA Games,
in 2001, 2003, and 2007.
Dad.
Panchawarana.
- Panchawarana.
- Dad.
Yes.
You're home early today.
I got my work done earlier.
If Thailand loses to Indonesia tomorrow,
Malaysia will be tied with the Philippines
on top of the table
in this Round-Robin tournament.
And based on Malaysia's
higher goal difference
compared to the Philippines,
Harimau Malaysia will win the Gold Medal!
Mulan!
Why are they playing so rough?
That's how contact sports are played.
They're not playing Congkak.
You're rude.
- Come on, Mulan! You can do it.
- Yes.
Malaysia has the ball and is pushing hard.
Nice! A three-pointer
by the Malaysian Captain, Nur Izzati.
Now, only five points
separate Thailand and Malaysia.
An attack is being initiated
by the Malaysian Vice-Captain, Mulan,
a pass to Chantelle Davis.
The player who just returned from the US.
She scores!
Only 21 seconds left on the clock
and Thailand is still
ahead of Malaysia, 72-69.
- Malaysia just needs three points to tie
- Defend!
And push this game into overtime.
It's a miss by the Thais' best player.
Now Mulan has the ball.
A pass to Wong who sends it
to the Malaysian Captain
at the end of the court.
The fate of Harimau Malaysia
winning the gold
for the 12th time at the SEA Games
now rests solely
on Captain Nur Izzati Yaakob.
Come on, Izzati.
BRONZE AGAIN FOR HARIMAU MALAYSIA
It's pretty.
I'll take a picture.
One, two, three.
Nice.
So do I keep this?
Hold on to it. I still have
the bronze medal from two years ago.
Although the shape is different,
the color is the same.
I can't believe you failed me again.
What is it that you don't understand?
I've taught you so well.
All my skills and you're not doing it.
I brought you back from America
and put you
in the best basketball team in Malaysia,
and this is what you do?
You fail me all the time!
Why do you do this?
Chantelle?
When will I ever get to play
in a SEA Games?
I'm a national player,
but every time there is a big game,
I'm benched.
Ana, as long as you're wearing
a scarf on your head,
you will never
What's wrong with you, Wong?
You guys.
Guys.
I apologize for missing that shot.
That's how a competition goes.
You win some, you lose some.
It's not your fault. It was just bad luck.
Bad luck? You're an idiot.
If I had taken the shot,
we would have won.
Don't be so confident.
Why are you so arrogant?
Admit it. You know it's a fact.
We lost the gold again, Izzati.
And that's all on you.
Don't you worry and don't be sad.
You'll get wrinkles faster.
We'll train even more.
But this time, hard training. Okay, girls?
- Okay, Coach.
- Okay, Coach.
We must win the gold medal.
- Understand?
- Yes.
Good job, girls.
Congratulations, Harimau Malaysia.
You held the Thai Elites well,
at the very last second last night.
Outstanding effort, Yoong.
Coach, I'll take the girls up first.
Yoong, come on, we are all winners.
Silver, bronze.
It's time for a celebration.
Maybe a drink or two?
Come on, like the old times.
Congratulations on your silver, Aquino.
Your girls deserve it.
And do we deserve the bronze?
Babe.
What are you talking about, Coach?
Mulan.
Take the girls up and rest.
Girls.
We have an early flight tomorrow morning.
Go upstairs and rest.
I think Coach Yoong
wants to hook up with him.
Watch your mouth. They've been
close friends for a very long time.
So that's why we keep losing
to the Philippines.
Sorry.
- Malaysia!
- We can do it!
Okay, since the national team wins,
how do you feel
Well, okay.
So I guess we're invisible.
- Here's the dreamer bunch,
- Babe.
Promised us the gold,
- but comes home with only the bronze.
- I want to know.
Mom.
Yes, I just landed.
We're heading back to the hostel.
You don't have to worry.
I'll call again later.
Bye, Mom.
Kalai is amazing!
You never miss.
When I'm as tall as her,
I want to play just like her.
You can't even chase me.
Kalai, can you teach me
how to throw the ball?
I want to show Johan a thing or two.
Have you ever taken a shot before?
Just focus.
Remember, don't use your palm,
use your two fingers.
- Okay.
- Okay.
One, two, shoot.
Yes!
Well done! Yes!
- High five!
- Yes!
Kalai, go home now.
Raj.
Kalai and I are...
You stay out of this.
I've known you for a long time.
Don't you dare sell
your nonsensical dreams to my daughter.
Ang!
What's the benefit
of playing for the national team?
Tell your daughter not to waste time
with useless ambitions.
Uncle Ramesh,
what do you know about ambitions?
You don't know anything
about the suffering of our people.
You're just a kid.
Times have changed.
Humans don't change.
Basketball is not for our people.
You can go ahead and train your own race.
Enough!
Go home, Kalai. Now!
BRONZE MEDAL 2013 MYANMAR
- Izzati!
- Izzati!
- Izzati!
- Izzati!
- Izzati!
- Izzati!
- Izzati!
- Izzati!
You disappoint me, Zati. You failed again.
I'm so sorry.
I've tried my very best.
You told me the same thing two years ago.
Just 2 months
before the 2011 SEA Games in Indonesia
and our national
basketball team's star player
loses her dad to lung cancer.
Will this devastating loss
interfere with Izzati's focus
and performance in the SEA Games?
Can Harimau Malaysia bring home the gold,
the pride of our beloved country?
You need to move on
from that missed shot, Zati.
It's not our time yet.
You need to accept that.
When will it ever be our time?
I missed that shot, Mulan!
I failed.
You need to accept that fact.
You're right.
You did fail.
And you failed badly.
So what are you going to do about it?
What am I supposed to do about it?
Should I be depressed like you?
So without the gold medal,
we don't deserve to be called
the Malaysian Team anymore?
Is that what you believe in?
Look, Izzati.
Let it pass.
The most important thing is,
we've tried our best.
No regrets, right?
You know why the gold
is important to me, right, Mulan?
I know and I get it, Zati.
That is why
you need to strengthen your resolve.
In two years,
we're going to get a chance
to redeem our dignity and pride
by claiming back the gold
that belongs to us.
We're running out of time.
We need you, Captain.
The girls need you to be strong, Coach.
- Don't waste any more time.
- Yes, Dato.
I selected you to be an assistant coach
for a reason.
I know your capabilities
to replace Coach Tan.
- But
- Yes, I know.
Honestly speaking,
I'm a bit disappointed
for not winning the gold.
But I'll be angry, if I know
you and your girls never give it all.
But I know you girls gave it all!
To the team and to the nation.
I'm proud of it.
Just win better next time.
Yes, Harris.
Coach Yoong.
I think I've found our answer
to win the gold
for 2015 SEA Games.
Okay, girls.
After training, let's go
and eat Kak Joy's prawn noodles.
Okay, let's!
But you're buying, okay?
- You're the one who should be buying.
- You can afford it.
- Hello.
- Hi.
Hi, you're lucky to win medals.
Not really.
We're just better than you guys.
Yes, the women's team has 11 golds.
You guys?
Just two.
- Better than nothing.
- We'll win one more.
What?
Did someone die?
I know that you're all disappointed.
Disappointed? More like ashamed, Coach!
I didn't return from the US
just to win the bronze.
Chantelle is right.
We can't waste any time.
The bronze helps the country
in the medal tally.
But we all know that
what we truly want is
- Gold!
- Gold!
In the next SEA Games,
we will win back the gold for our country.
We will be the best again!
Whatever it takes.
- Yes, Coach!
- Yes, Coach!
Izzati!
Come on, Izzati. You got this!
Come on.
You can either keep blaming yourself
and stay weak.
Or rise up again and be the strong Izzati
that I have always known.
Our gold is delayed,
but not denied.
Yes, Coach.
- I'm telling you to get out right now.
- Sir.
You have wasted our time.
You should not have come here.
You need to go home, now!
Sir, you are not Kalai's dad.
You have no right to decline my offer.
What do I care?
Mr. Raj, please.
Kalai is talented.
She'll bring glory to the nation.
What kind of glory? She'll be ridiculed.
People will insult her
because of her skin color.
Do you understand?
Sir, it's 2013 now.
Yes.
This is my final decision.
Kalai is not going anywhere.
You should go home.
Now, you've heard it from the dad himself.
- Now, go.
- Sir.
You don't have to argue.
The dad told you to go,
now the uncle is telling you to go.
Just go.
Go. Leave!
What else do you want?
Get out of here. Go!
Do you understand?
Don't give me that look.
I love endurance training.
Okay, stop.
Water break.
Zati, are you okay?
That hurts.
Hey. Mulan, don't do it.
There's no need.
Can you stand? Try.
Serves her right.
Mulan!
Hey!
What is this about?
Coach, she pushed me.
Yes, I saw it.
- I told you.
- Okay.
Everybody down.
Two hundred sit-ups.
What, Coach? Everyone?
All of you, except for Mulan and Felicia.
- Come in front.
- What?
Down!
Let's go, girls!
Come in, it's your office anyway.
Just giving a heads up,
Coach Tan might get shocked.
So are you guys discussing
the new playbook?
Of course not.
That's both of your jobs.
Then what are you and Coach talking about?
Our biggest sponsor pulled out.
Because we lost the gold?
We were kind of expecting this
to happen, right?
But as you said, "A win is a win."
Unfortunately to them,
it's either gold or nothing.
Dato,
that day, you asked me
to motivate the girls,
raise their spirits up.
Now, you want me to tell them
that our sponsor is out,
funding is cut,
and their allowance will be affected?
What am I supposed to tell the girls?
Then don't tell them,
nobody is supposed to know.
And about their allowances,
there's no need to cut.
At least for now.
So how will MABA survive?
Okay, we will struggle. Definitely.
So we need to cut costs.
Recently, you secured a new player.
The other player
who is just warming the bench,
- we release her.
- No. Ana is staying.
Come on, you know too well
that she can't play
as long as she's wearing the hijab.
Dato, that is for international games.
She can still play in other games.
She's a good player.
All right, even though she's good,
but the point is...
The point is Ana is good and she deserves
to be in the national team.
Coach Yoong,
I just want to do my job, okay?
With all due respect, Dato,
please do your job.
Your job is to find sponsors
and ensure MABA carries on.
Keeping good players in our team,
that's our job.
Let's go.
How do I look?
Disgusting.
Come on.
Heading out for a party, I see.
If Coach hears that, we're screwed.
Afraid, but you still do it.
Who's afraid?
Even though we go out partying,
our performance is always on point.
You guys are sissies.
I am really starting
to regret coming back.
If you were doing so well in the US,
why did you bother coming back?
Because all of you are unreliable.
My country needs me.
You don't need to be proud
of your time in the US.
Do you think all the skills
that you learned there can be used here?
Shut it, villager.
What's the point of having skills
if you're just warming the bench?
Villager?
This wannabe white woman is asking for it.
- Say that again.
- Felicia.
Don't bother.
It's not worth it.
We'll ruin our expensive dresses.
Keep sitting on the bench.
Shall we?
If I have magical powers,
I'll lock Chantelle's mouth shut.
What a snob!
And you still stand
by your principles, Ana.
About my hijab?
This isn't about principles.
This is about religion.
You're not afraid of being released
one day because of your hijab?
Me, afraid?
God will look after me.
My dear sweetheart.
It's just a blackout.
Why are you afraid?
"God will look after you."
I'm not afraid.
Let's go turn on the lights.
Okay.
But come with me, okay?
- Okay.
- Okay.
Let's go.
Come here to the front.
Put the lights on me.
A bit more to the front.
Do you guys know,
that my real name is Anavau.
In the Kadazan language, it means light.
So you girls need not worry,
I will shine a light onto your darkness.
Relax.
Calm down. Okay?
Don't be afraid, don't panic.
I told you to walk in front of me.
Hurry up, it's dark here.
Who is that?
Zati?
- Mom.
- Yes?
When I made that shot,
I saw Dad.
And when I missed it,
I saw he was disappointed.
I didn't know
dead people can feel disappointment.
It's just your feeling.
If he is still around,
he'd tell you to strengthen your spirit.
It's not the end of the world yet.
Listen.
As long as you are in the national team,
there will always be a chance for you
to bring home the gold medal.
My daughter is a black belt holder.
But inside, she is still a softie.
Mom.
- You don't get it.
- You're the one not getting it.
When you first went crazy
about basketball,
to the point of wanting
to quit tae kwon do,
your dad supported your interest,
but he persuaded you
to complete tae kwon do first, right?
Why? Because he didn't like
his daughter leaving halfway.
He didn't want his daughter
to be a quitter.
If you start on something
Make sure
that it's completed successfully.
Smart girl.
Here.
A gold medal and this black belt here
are just symbols of your destination.
The intentions and desire to win
has to go hand-in-hand,
so you can't lose your spirit.
Understood?
Understood, Mom.
Come. I'm proud of you, Zati.
Thank you, Mom.
Dad is proud of you too.
Hello, Ah Po?
Happy birthday to me
Happy birthday to me
Your birthday is tomorrow, Ah Po.
I wanted to call you at midnight tonight.
I'm about to turn 84 years old.
I can't stay up until midnight anymore.
Yes, right, that's not old.
What a rude granddaughter I have.
You're bringing Izzati along
tomorrow, right?
Yes, I will,
but we don't have any presents.
We didn't have time to buy.
Both you and Izzati are presents to me.
But could you get me
some of that Kak Joy's prawn noodles?
How do you know
that we are eating prawn noodles now?
I'll bring some for you, okay?
Bye. Take care of yourself.
Okay, bye.
Sorry.
Mr. Bartender.
Hurry up.
Hi. You look hot today.
A little gift for you.
Take it.
No, stop.
Don't.
If Coach does a urine test tomorrow,
you're going to be screwed.
Please don't be so boring,
baby girl.
Chantelle.
Yes!
Did you see that, Dad?
I'm a natural. That's why
I really want to play basketball.
My daughter wants to do everything.
Tae kwon do, basketball.
You were the one who told me
to try everything that I want to.
That's right.
But don't go hobby hopping.
If you truly want to learn basketball,
I'll find the best coach for you.
With one condition,
you can't quit tae kwon do.
I do not want my daughter
To do things halfway.
Smart girl.
Izzati Yaakob
shall be "Mouse in the House".
- Yes!
- Yes!
Yes!
Dad!
Yes!
- That's my daughter, right there.
- She's a good player.
Thanks.
-Welcome to MABA.
- Thank you.
We waited a long time to get this.
But in the end
You have a black belt.
And you're in the national team.
My job is done.
I can go now.
You have to be strong.
- Dad
- I am strong, Zati.
But my sickness right here,
it won't stop telling me to meet God.
I have not made you proud yet.
From the first moment you were born,
until this moment right now,
I've never stopped being proud of you.
You need to be strong just like me.
It's okay to be sad.
But don't be depressed for too long.
Dad.
2011 SEA Games in Indonesia
is just around the corner.
It's only three months away.
Whatever happens,
I want you to be there,
the moment I won the gold medal
for Malaysia.
Because
I want you to be the one
who puts the gold medal around my neck.
Just like this.
There
Smart.
Why are you playing alone?
You're always hanging out
at Kak Joy's prawn noodle place.
Mulan.
We only have two years left
to get Thailand and Philippines
on their knees with our shots.
So?
Let's make it rain, baby.
Kalai, hurry up.
Yes, Mom.
Kalai, you need to hurry up.
- Thank you, Mom.
- Hurry.
I don't want you to get in trouble, Mom.
And I don't want your dream
to be destroyed.
You need to chase your dream.
It's for your dad's own good too.
- Go.
- Thank you, Mom.
- Bye.
- Goodbye, Mom.
Sorry, Coach. I had a headache.
Headache or hangover?
What?
Nothing, Coach.
Coach.
Hi.
Welcome to the national team, Kalaimathi.
Girls!
Girls, this is your new teammate, Kalai.
Izzati,
introduce her to everyone.
Izzati is your Captain.
Indian?
That's a first.
I'm confident
that Kalai will bring a new spirit
into our team.
Coach.
Go and train them.
I'm Ana.
She's so tall. Good to be our teammate.
Harris, you have to assist Coach Yoong,
like how she assisted me.
I will, Coach.
Kalai.
These are your jerseys.
Thank you, Coach.
Izzati.
Yes, Coach.
Please take her to the dormitory office
and get a room for her.
Yes, Coach.
You haven't even showered yet. We're late.
Kalai,
- do you want to come with us?
- Where to?
Celebrate my grandma's birthday.
You have to go.
Mulan's grandma is the nicest person.
About your room, don't worry.
Ana is here.
Just come with us, okay?
Sure. Thanks, Ana.
It's a small matter. No problem.
Coach.
Aquino.
How are you?
What are you doing here?
Holiday!
It has been a hectic time for the Gilas.
So when I get a few days off,
I flew here straight away.
You miss me.
I miss Malaysian food, but yes,
I miss you too.
Hey.
Is that something that I can see
or is that a government secret?
I have to make sure that the girls
win gold in the upcoming SEABA.
Sponsors are threatening
to pull out if we don't.
It won't be a problem.
The Gilas won't be there.
Yes, and that's so disappointing.
FIBA's rule, we cannot say anything.
Actually, I'm anxious.
Coach Tan is letting me
take charge in Semarang.
- Without him
- So you know where this is going, right?
Yes.
- But I'm not ready yet.
- You'd better be.
You have to catch up with me.
Right now, you are looking
at the new Philippines'
Women National Basketball Team Coach.
Congratulations.
I'm so happy for you.
Wait.
So everything that your mom said
about Coach is true?
Yes.
My mom makes a lot of mistakes,
but she is never wrong about Coach Yoong.
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to Ah Po
- Happy birthday to Ah Po
- Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday to you
Wait, make a wish first.
The only thing I want for my birthday
is for all of you to bring home
the SEA Games Gold Medal.
- What kind of wish is that?
- Yes, it's just stressingusout.
She's motivating us.
This is why I love Izzati.
Kalai, you must learn from her, okay?
Don't be like my granddaughter
and become a boy.
Just as cute!
Let me blow the candle.
That's not very elderly-like for yourage.
Kalai, why do you want play
for the national team?
I really want to change my family's life
for the better
and bring glory to the country.
Did you hear her answer?
If you ask Mulan, she'll say
she wanted to stay in her own dormitory.
She doesn't want to stay with us.
I come and visit all the time.
I have to tell you.
I'm impressed by her dedication.
She's solid.
What's with the praise?
- Do you want more cake?
- No!
I'm angry now.
Why are you being a kitten?
Now that you have Kalai on your team,
you're truly Team Malaysia.
- What?
- That's right.
We're now
- 1Malaysia.
- 1Malaysia.
1Malaysia.
- Let's eat! I'm hungry.
- Okay.
CHAMPION
- Why?
- We have a problem now.
Put it out.
Hello!
Kalai needs to bunk with you guys.
Can't you squeeze her somewhere else?
No.
The other rooms are taken,
yours is the only one left.
Well, as you can see.
That empty bed is being used.
- Sorry.
- Well,
it's not for you to decide.
Like I care.
Wait.
Hi!
Welcome, new roommate.
Come.
Let me help you.
Felicia, help Kalai with her bag.
Come.
Anything else?
No, right?
Bye.
Something is not right.
You are an absolute genius, babe.
Right?
Hello?
Okay.
Okay.
Yes.
I've got to go. Supervise her.
What are you looking at? Keep scrubbing.
Chantelle?
Where are you going? It's past curfew.
Is it Julie?
Look, if it's Julie,
I can turn a blind eye
and let you out after curfew.
But if you are heading out to a club,
I will have to stop you.
Yes, I know.
You don't have proof.
I have my own ways.
You know that, right, Chantelle?
You really need to start
making decisions as an adult.
You are not my mom.
And I feel that you really need one.
- From a traitor like you?
- Excuse me?
Coach,
you think we don't know
that you've been selling our strategies
to the Philippines
through your boyfriend, Aquino?
You can't accuse me without proof.
I have my ways too.
You have your secrets
and I have mine.
So we're even.
Mom?
Mom.
Mom?
Morning.
Hey, baby girl.
You need to stop drinking.
I don't drink for fun.
I'm celebrating.
Celebrating what?
Didn't you hear the good news?
Your dad will be bringing us back
to the US.
Mom,
that is not happening.
It is so happening.
Baby girl, later,
you'll need to help me pack my things.
Mom.
We belong here.
Okay?
Davis doesn't care about us.
Don't talk about your dad like that.
It's very rude.
I don't have a dad.
This is Davis.
Handsome bugger, isn't he?
- He was a good dad.
- Yes.
So good that he slept with my best friend.
My rightful place is by his side.
I want to go home.
Mom.
This is home now.
Please, Mom.
Please
I have matches that I need to win.
Okay.
I'll let your dad know,
we're coming home a little later then.
After your matches.
Okay?
Or maybe
My baby girl, could you call your dad?
Please?
He never answers my calls.
I don't know why.
Please
Please
Fine.
- Okay.
- Good girl.
Here, Izzati.
Chantelle.
Kalai.
Kalai.
Wait, that's my ball.
Kalai, what are you doing?
- Kalai!
- Kalai!
What was that?
What?
Kalai.
Kalai.
Izzati.
Pass!
Kalai!
Come here.
Kalai.
Your technique is correct,
but I feel that sometimes...
Oh my God! Izzati just tell her.
- You play like you're having a seizure.
- Chill.
You're blocking everyone.
You're getting in everyone's way.
- Calm down, she's new.
- Idiot!
Kalai, come out.
Meg, you are in.
Let's go!
Are you also going to tell me
that I play like a crazy woman?
No.
But I have to tell you that today,
you are all over the place.
My dad was right.
Someone from Segamat like me,
should not be playing
for the national team.
Look.
Mulan is from Segamat, did you know that?
When she first arrived here, her form
was all over the place, just like you.
But now, she's great.
Maybe what she and you
learned from Segamat
is different from what we practice here.
But Coach,
this is the only way I know how to play.
If you tell me to play differently,
that's not me.
Mulan is still Mulan.
Izzati is still Izzati.
Ana who came from a rural part of Sabah
has adjusted well to our system here.
Don't worry, Kalai.
That is why Coach Tan and I are here.
We'll train you to be the best together.
I told you.
You belong there
and our country needs you.
Hey, are you crying?
No, Mom.
I'm just very sleepy.
It's late now.
Mom, are you sick?
No.
Just a little bit of cough.
Have you seen a doctor?
Your dad will take me.
You should rest.
I miss you and the family.
We miss you too.
But we're even prouder of you.
Please take good care of yourself.
I will.
Who is that?
Kalai.
Is she coming home?
Far from it.
Kalai has a strong spirit. Unlike you.
Don't you insult me.
I'm a bit confused.
Are you jealous of your own daughter?
What? Me?
Jealous of my own daughter?
What nonsense is that.
Because Kalai has the guts
to chase her own dream.
You are too afraid to get out
of your comfort zone.
You are afraid of failure.
Prayers alone do not make one holy
without a pure heart.
Kalai, are you buying dinner?
Yes, for Chantelle and Felicia.
Don't they have their own limbs?
Come sit.
Are they forcing you to do their chores?
Kalai.
It's okay. You can tell us.
My dad was right.
People like me
will be insulted and reviled
- because of my skin color.
- That's not true.
There is no racial sentiment here.
You don't get it, Mulan.
You've never experienced being looked down
upon because you are different.
I understand, Kalai.
I went through the exact same thing.
When I first started out
playing basketball,
I thought it was only for the Chinese.
But when I played with the team,
no, we're all the same.
Our blood is red.
And we play to win for our country.
Anyway, Chantelle and Felicia
are bullying you
because they are bullies.
It has nothing to do
with your background,
place of origin, or your race, okay?
Okay, fine.
We're going to put a stop to this.
We'll meet Chantelle and Felicia.
But not tonight.
I'm tired.
Kalai, let us know
when you're ready, okay?
Izzati, Mulan,
Ana,
Meg, and Kalai.
This is the first-five, team lineup
for the SEABA Cup.
What about me, Coach?
What about you?
Did I say your name?
That's why she's asking.
On the bench.
Bullshit.
I am your coach for SEABA.
Please respect my decision.
Coach, we're not disrespecting you.
We just want to know,
why is that rookie
who plays like a madman gets selected
and we're not.
You two are punished for breaking curfew.
Kalai did not.
Understood?
This is a joke.
- This team is a joke.
- Chantelle.
Where is Kalai?
What is this?
What are you doing here?
Your coach called,
asking if you came home.
What should I answer?
Tell her I'm quitting.
I don't belong there.
What are you talking about?
Kalai!
Let's play a game.
Take this.
I was a basketball player
when I was young too.
You never told me about this.
Where do you think
you got your talent from?
It's from my blood.
No one around me supported my dream.
Do you know what they said?
This game is not for people
with my skin color.
It broke my heart so much
that I quit the entire sport.
Did you regret it?
Always.
I regret stopping you from playing.
I regret not supporting you.
I regret letting you train with Ang
when I am a better player than Ang.
Would you teach me?
I'll teach you but you have
to make one promise to me.
That you will teach the same lessons
to your teammates. Deal?
Are you a Malaysian basketball player?
I'm Kalai. I play for Malaysia.
Girls, this is our first game here.
I need you to give your all.
- We need to win.
- Coach.
- We will
- Win!
Okay, girls.
Do you see that white guy over there?
Sitting next to the SEABA officials.
- What about him?
- The lady beside him
is a scout from WNBA.
All right.
Let's go.
- United
- Malaysia!
Damn it!
Of course the scout's going to be here
on the day I'm freaking stuck
on this stupid bench.
I'm Chantelle.
Hi.
Ready? One, two.
Mulan.
Stop.
There has been
a violation of the rules by Malaysia.
Partners.
What's happening?
Go ask him.
Referee, what's going on?
- Why?
- I'm sorry, Coach.
Player number 13 needs to be changed.
- Ana? Why?
- Yes.
Her attire is not allowed by the rules.
Those rules only apply in FIBA,
SEA Games, and the Olympics,
- and not SEABA.
- It does now.
We are in the middle of the game.
- How can you just change the rules?
- The rules are the rules.
- Either you change your player
- You are being ridiculous.
- Or be disqualified from the game.
- No, we are in the middle of the game.
- Why are you changing it now?
- Technical foul for the Malaysian Coach.
This is bullshit!
We have already submitted that...
Disqualification for Malaysian Coach.
Out of the court.
Who are you? Why are you...
Go out now!
You are just a referee.
- Go out now.
- You can't just change
the rules like that.
Technical foul for the Malaysian Coach.
Disqualified foul for Malaysian Coach.
Number 13, substitute.
Ana.
Let's go.
Chantelle, you're in.
I'm so sorry, Coach.
Ana, don't.
Don't do something stupid.
I did not fight for you for nothing.
In life,
we each hold our own principles.
Your principles never waivered.
But because of this hijab,
we were both
thrown out of the court, Coach.
We can't even be at courtside.
No.
I was thrown out
because I stood up for my player.
You are my player
and that's my responsibility.
Kalai!
Yes!
Chantelle...
Hey!
- Teamwork, Chantelle!
- Yes.
Yes!
Felicia.
- Warm up.
- Okay.
Yes, Coach.
Foul!
That's a foul.
- Referee, that was a foul.
- Kalai, don't.
Calm down.
You need to suck it up! Let's go.
Chantelle, no!
It's ACL.
The tear is quite extensive this time.
How extensive?
I don't care how bad it is, Coach.
All I care about
is how fast can I recover.
Izzati, this is your fourth injury.
With a tear like this, I can't guarantee...
Come on, doctor, give us
only the options and possibilities.
We don't need guarantees.
Okay, we'll operate as soon as we can.
After that, it will depend
on your rehab and spirit.
Usually, it will take
seven to eight months.
We can still make it for SEA Games, Coach.
You see it, right?
Izzati fell down because of Chantelle.
It was an accident.
If the referee didn't flag it,
then it's not a foul.
I understand.
At least Chantelle needs to take
responsibility for what she did to Izzati.
Do you really think Chantelle did it?
I pity Mulan.
She seems lost without Izzati.
You're lost too, aren't you?
Suddenly bunking in our room.
This is Izzati's pillow.
She allowed me to sleep in her bed.
Okay so then,
can you please wash my shoes?
It was you, wasn't it?
I saw you talking to Coach.
You're a rat.
I think you're too over, Chantelle.
This is too much.
- Why do you care?
- I saw what you did at the court.
You have no idea what I had
to go through to get to where I am.
- So who are you?
- This is not an excuse.
This is not an excuse for you
- to do what you did.
- Don't get involved.
Sit down and mind your own business.
What do you want?
What's going on?
Hey.
- Hi, ma'am.
- Hi.
You can wake her.
She has been sleeping a lot.
We'll let her sleep.
- Thank you for coming.
- No problem.
Mulan here misses Izzati so very much.
And you weren't missing her?
Of course I do.
- She's up. Good morning.
- Rise and shine.
I miss you.
- You guys.
- Izzati, are you okay?
Why are you asking a stupid question?
If she's okay, she would have come
to training with us. Geez.
Here, grapes.
- Is everything okay?
- Yes.
We're only waiting for you.
It will take a while.
SEA Games will also be a while.
You should be ready by then.
If you ask me.
With this injury, I won't let her play.
Mom.
Don't
But this daughter of mine
who is fragile but strong-spirited
will not listen to her own mom.
That's right, ma'am.
Izzati is stubborn.
We're all stubborn.

- United Malaysia!
- United Malaysia!
This is a hospital.
- Coach?
- Come in.
You're the one who told SEABA's officials
to kick Ana out, didn't you?
What?
What would I gain if I do that?
You gained a spot in the match
and you got to show off to the scout.
This is all your stupid assumption, right?
I have a witness.
Did your witness see me
talking to the SEABA's officials?
Did your witness hear me
telling them to drop Ana that day?
No.
Then there is nothing to discuss.
Hello?
What?
- Aren't you ashamed?
- I don't care, this is my house.
I can do whatever I want.
- Are you okay?
- Take her in.
Go inside, I'll be there.
Your dad
is going to remarry.
Davis is a jerk.
- Davis is your dad.
- I don't have a dad.
This is Davis, your dad.
He loves you, baby girl.
He made you the baller you are today.
I am good because I'm Chantelle.
You're arrogant, baby girl. You're greedy.
Yes, you're good, we all know that.
But you don't play as a team.
You play like a dog with rabies.
Mom.
You are not qualified to assess my game.
Of course I'm qualified. I am Julie Sim.
I helped Malaysia
to win 6 of out 11 gold medals.
I am Julie the Great!
Well, look at you now.
- Are you okay?
- Yes.
Who do we have here?
Are you trying to play a good mom to her?
I am not trying to be a good mom, Julie.
I'm here because I am responsible
for my players.
At least that makes me a good coach,
just like you,
a long time ago.
You know what, Mom?
Yes, I might play like a mad dog.
But dogs still care
and love their children.
You really don't have
to prove yourself to anyone.
On a good day, you are amazing, Chantelle.
But on most days,
I only know how to step on people
to rise up the rank.
You don't have to do that, Chantelle.
Even though
I've given the best all my life,
that is still not good enough for my mom.
I'm still never good enough.
If you are not good, you wouldn't be
on the national team, Chantelle.
Look,
all of this does not matter anymore.
What's important is,
do you still want to serve for Malaysia?
My heart and soul are 100%
with our country, Coach.
Good.
Then from now on, you'll work with me.
Okay?
Onward and
Forward.
Come in.
We have something to tell you.
I'll just make it easier for you guys.
Coach Yoong, Coach Harris, Coach Tan.
I know that I am the player
with most time spent on the bench.
I'm grateful for all the opportunities
and the lessons taught to me.
I'm aware that because of my hijab,
I'm wasting everybody's time and energy.
It's okay, Coach, I've made up my mind,
I've decided to quit the team.
What a long speech that was.
Will you at least sit first?
I give you this letter.
Coach, is this real?
This is an official letter, not a fake?
Yes, Ana.
FIBA has repealed the ban
on wearing hijab in games.
Coach,
that means I can play
in small and big games?
I can't wait to tell my friends
that I can play with them.
- Thank you, Coach.
- You're welcome.
- Ana.
- Coach Yoong.
Let her keep it.
It was worth
defending her at SEABA, right?
Every sacrifice we make for our players
will always be worth it.
Okay, now.
With her on board,
let's go get that gold medal.
Welcome back, Captain.
Izzati.
Hi. Thank you.
If you never recover from this,
you can always join the Paralympic team.
Gosh, you.
Watch your mouth.
Ignore her.
Hey, careful.
I'm okay. I was just showing off.
I can walk on my own.
Since Chantelle stopped showing off
on the court,
I haven't seen an arrogant person.
Sorry.
- Hey.
- All right.
See what happens
when you start showing off?
Otherwise, you can join
the Chantelle Club.
- Chantelle, come here.
- What?
- Come here, now.
- What?
Go ahead and teach her.
Or are you so humbled now?
Girls!
Center court.
Sit.
- Hi, girls.
- Hi.
Izzati, welcome back.
- Thank you, Coach.
- Good to know you're back.
But unfortunately,
I have to deliver a sad...
Happy news.
Yes, you are right.
Well, girls, I will be retiring.
Your beloved Coach Yoong will take over.
- Why?
- Why Coach?
I'm getting tired and I need more rest,
but I want a promise from all of you.
We all promise,
we will not bully Coach Yoong, right?
- Yes.
- It's not that.
She will know
how to get the best out of you.
Then what is the promise?
A promise to bring back the gold.
That's a difficult one to make.
I promise, Coach.
All of us here promise.
For our country.
- Yes.
- Okay, good.
Now I can happily retire.
Good job, Chantelle.
Let's go, team.
Come on.
Move.
One more round.
Looks like they need a new challenge.
What can I do, Dato?
Just leave it to me.
Let's go!
Coach.
What is it?
Have a look.
Actually,
it's an order from the Ministry.
All the girls
who are going to the SEA Games
must go through doping test.
Dato,
all my girls are clear.
I know.
Don't worry, it's just
a safety precaution measure.
I trust them. Don't worry, okay.
Hey, I told you,
don't go touching that thing.
Dad.
Tomorrow, I'm leaving for Singapore.
For the 2015 SEA Games.
I do hope
that this time,
I'll be able to bring home the gold.
Not just for you,
but for myself as well.
And for our beloved country.

Chantelle, can I have a word with you?
Dato, what happened?
We found an illegal substance
in her urine.
She tested positive.
Chantelle.
Open your locker.
I swear that is not drugs.
This is just anti-depressant pills.
Yes, I know. However, it still contains
performance-enhancing substance, right?
I'm sorry.
Your name will be dropped
from representing Malaysia
at the SEA Games in Singapore.
What?
Coach.
Okay, Chantelle, listen.
No one wanted this to happen,
but it did.
Pack your things and leave.
Dato, please.
It's just my meds.
Chantelle!
I said pack your things and leave.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to Singapore.
And Malaysia made
a very short journey across the Straits.
The neighbors to the North,
the once united nations,
returning close ties
Thank you.

We've only lost one game.

Yes.
That means they've lost twice,
and we
Coach, no. Don't jinx it.
Yes, Coach, don't you say it.
Girls.
They beat us badly two years ago.
Now is the time for us to beat them.
- Yes, Coach!

We will deny them their gold today.
- Yes, Coach!
- Harimau on three.
Harimau!
We only have three seconds left.
They are going to do everything
to stop us.
