IN MEMORIAM
DR. AHMAD IBRAHIM, 1947-2023
PRODUCTION ADVISER
CREATIVE ARTS INITIATIVE
CITRA MUTIARA FOUNDATION
What's with you?
What's with you?
Hey, kids. Stop!
What's wrong with you two?
Enough!
- Luka!
- Hey!
They're fighting!
Let them.
You want to fight? Why stop?
Your dad gave you permission. Go ahead.
Proceed.
My name is Luka.
And this is
where I came from.
BASED ON A TRUE STORY
My life here
meant that I was used to
these kinds of things.
Look at it yourself.
This place
is cramped.
- Messy.
- Here.
- Crowded.
- It's a waste not to use it now.
You don't even get this in heaven.
Overcrowded and drug-filled.
Vice.
Violence.
Theft.
As well as other stupid,
unhealthy activities.
Come again if you have money.
My door is always open.
See you again. Make sure you come.
Every day
felt so suffocating.
Uncomfortable.
And rowdy.
However,
even in that suffocating, cramped,
and dirty place,
there was also beauty
and elegance.
A little bit of charm that made life here
a little bearable.
What do we do?
Darling, you just got home.
Why are you leaving again?
You haven't even warmed the couch!
I'm going out to work,
not to get myself a mistress.
Understand?
I know. Work is important.
But not too much
that you neglect your son!
If I don't work all day all night,
who will make money for this family?
And how about you? It's late.
Where is our son?
What kind of mother are you?
Darling, Luka doesn't like being at home.
But you don't know that
because you're so rarely at home yourself.
Come on. This is such a headache!
You and your nagging!
Hey!
I've told you repeatedly.
Do not meddle in our territory.
This guy.
See.
- I was fighting at home.
- How dare you fight back?
- I was fighting outside too.
- You imbecile.
Hey!
Do you want me to beat all of you up?
- Let's go.
- You're just lucky.
Fighting was part and parcel of my life.
Although I have tried to avoid it,
I don't know why,
but it always finds me.
The fight always finds me.
I...
I fight not because I love it...
but because at the time,
it was the only way for me
to fight against injustice.
Yes. It sounds overdramatic.
But...
But that's the thing.
It is what it is.
Bidin.
Luka's man.
Do you really want to join me?
Yes.
Yes.
Will you do anything for us?
I will do anything.
Are you willing to destroy Luka's life?
I am.
If you come here haphazardly
and you create trouble, you'll die.
- Did you understand what Bono said?
- Yes!
- Any questions?
- No, sir!
Repeat after me.
- Honor, honor!
- Honor, honor!
- Honor the vow!
- Honor the vow!
- Loyal, loyal!
- Loyal, loyal!
- Loyal and true!
- Loyal and true!
- Disobedience!
- Disobedience!
- Disobedience is death!
- Disobedience is death!
- Honor, honor!
- Honor, honor!
- Honor the vow!
- Honor the vow!
- Loyal, loyal!
- Loyal, loyal!
- Loyal and true!
- Loyal and true!
- Disobedience!
- Disobedience!
- Disobedience is death!
- Disobedience is death!
- You only live once!
- You only live once!
- You only die once!
- You only die once!
How many times must I say it?
I am not your boss
and you're not my driver.
I know. But we're going to the meeting.
Everybody who's everybody
will come out from the back seat.
That's a boss move.
That's them, not me.
Who will be there today?
I heard that
everybody's going to be there.
All the Ayahanda
and Big Brothers will be there.
I hope Pak Long has made his decision.
Right.
We have already delayed this
for a long time.
If we'd settled this right from the start,
this wouldn't have happened.
You know, right?
We can't just do what we want.
- We have a leader.
- I know.
The problem is some of
the other Ayahanda are getting involved.
It's bigger than it was before now.
That's good.
Go big or go home.
Let everybody know.
Here's your nasi lemak.
- Okay. Thank you.
- Thank you.
Peace be upon you, ma'am.
And you. Pian!
- How are you?
- I'm fine. Are you well?
I am. Do you want nasi lemak?
Yes, ma'am. Sell me everything you have.
Every time you're here,
you buy everything.
It's the guys in my office.
One day without it and they get cravings.
Really? Praise be to God.
- Are you on your way to work?
- Yes, ma'am.
That looks like Luka's car.
No. This one is mine.
Maybe it's because it's the same make.
But this one is mine.
It's all good with you now, yes?
You have a good job.
- And you have a new car.
- Praise be to God, ma'am.
It is all thanks to my boss.
My boss has given me
a lot of opportunities.
- Unlike that...
- Ma'am.
If nobody is buying the cakes,
I'd like to get all of them.
- I'll buy them all.
- Really?
Of course.
May you be blessed
with more fortune, Pian.
Amen to that.
- Let me pack it up for you.
- All right.
Ma'am!
- Ma'am.
- Do you want nasi lemak?
- Put it back.
- I don't want the rice.
Just the richness.
What are you talking about?
Don't you know
you need a license to sell here?
Really?
How about this?
Give us RM 100
and we'll pay it to the council.
It's not easy to make RM 100
even in a week.
And you want my money?
Ma'am, if you can't pay, that's fine.
We'll seize everything.
Give me back my stuff!
Oh my God!
What are you doing?
- I need to sell these.
- Mum!
Goodness. What is wrong with these kids?
All of my stuff is ruined.
What do you think you're doing?
- Hey!
- Luka.
What are you doing here, boy?
Don't you know you can't do business
without a license?
License, my foot!
Enough, Luka!
Hey, get up!
- What are you waiting for? Get him!
- Hey!
How many times must I tell you?
If I beat you up, you're all screwed.
Leave!
Let's go.
Mum.
Why were you fighting?
They were harassing you.
What's the good of doing that?
Look at our stuff!
How will I do business now?
- Mum.
- No need! I'll do it myself!
As for the rest, keep the change.
- This is too much.
- It's okay. Please excuse me.
- Peace be upon you, ma'am.
- And you.
Praise be to God. I am thankful.
Thank You, God.
Put it in ice. It'll fade faster.
No need, Kaseh. It doesn't hurt that much.
Really? You were moaning in pain.
- I could hear you from the kitchen.
- No, I wasn't.
This is nothing. No, thanks.
Let me see.
That's cold!
Get a grip.
Aren't you supposed to be a hero?
Hero.
A hero has to endure.
How do you feel?
How do you feel
after punching the kid's face?
It's not enough.
I wanted to punch his face harder.
In a fight, timing is everything.
He was bothering my mother
where she does business.
I can't just stand there.
Luka, the reason was good.
But the timing was wrong.
This means you're not ready yet.
As a man, we always need both of these.
Luka, you have to train them.
Once they're ready,
it means the time has come.
How about this?
Join me.
I have men who can cover for you.
And be just like Bono and his boys?
Doing stupid things?
No, thanks.
We'll join an association.
This is not about that.
Don't use Bono as an example.
It's okay. I'm not interested.
I'm fine on my own.
But I will never let him
bother anybody anymore.
How many times must I tell you?
No license, no business here!
Do you think this squatter area
doesn't need to obey the laws?
I'm sorry, Bono.
I don't have money for this week.
I'll pay double next week.
Hey, look at them.
Do they look like civil servants?
Bono.
Customer.
What do you want?
You should leave.
Do not harass the merchants here.
Where is Wan Filem?
I am not his man.
Then what are you doing here?
Stopping you from harassing others.
What a pushover!
Why are you fighting?
May Allah forgive my sins.
What's happening here?
Luka!
Hey.
- Sir.
- Yes.
I heard what happened yesterday.
So? Were you satisfied?
Satisfied?
Once I get to stomp on Bono's neck
I will be satisfied.
That's great. It means you're ready.
But you can't do it on your own.
You need backup.
If it's just Bono and his men,
I can deal with them.
Luka, if Bono can't defeat you,
he'll bring more men.
If that's the case,
I will mow them all down.
But how many can you face?
As many as I can
before I fall.
Sir.
If you want me to join your pact,
no thank you.
I'm not interested.
Even without a team,
I can beat a security guard.
If I have a team I might even beat a CEO.
I am just trying to help you.
I can see you're talented and driven.
Sir.
Most of these guys under the pact
protect the premises
where illicit activities take place.
Night clubs. Dangdut clubs.
Did they make their vow
on a Chinese newspaper or something?
That's the problem.
One rotten apple
spoils the whole barrel.
It's okay. I understand.
How about this, Luka?
If you ever change your mind,
come find me.
Luka.
If you won't join a pact,
let us join you.
I understand what you're saying.
But just like Man said,
you have talent and drive.
So?
What do you want me to do?
Start a pact?
Become your leader?
Not like that.
Just look at our place.
Look at how we're doing.
My dad?
That was his only store
and they still extort money from him.
Man Belon here.
His dad only sells laksa at the junction.
They extort money from him too.
These guys were all extorted.
Luka.
I just want you to think about it.
These guys and I are ready for you.
We're not looking for trouble.
But when we're in trouble,
who is there to help us?
We're just squatters, Luka.
Everybody bullies us.
Luka.
We just need a leader.
And we're confident
you're worthy of that role.
Why don't you lead instead?
Me?
I can't, Luka.
I am not a very patient man.
I am easily distracted
and rarely think twice.
No, thanks.
Nice.
From then onwards,
I was no longer alone.
For the sake of protecting the peace
and dignity of the people here,
I agreed to Pian's wishes.
That's so bad!
Pian, let's pay.
- Excuse me!
- Yes?
- Yes?
- How much for everything?
It's okay. For today, it's on the house.
- Are you serious?
- It's on the house.
However, little by little,
I began to feel that
something was changing.
Okay, thank you.
I...
Thank you.
I didn't want us to go "there".
Peace be upon you.
And you.
Where's Dad?
He isn't home yet?
Why do you want to know?
Aren't you busy
protecting your "brothers"?
Mum. It's not like that.
We're not the triad.
We just want to protect
the safety of this place.
I'm sure you love it.
Fighting day and night.
That's not what we do, Mum. Trust me.
If you keep on doing this,
sooner or later, you'll be locked up.
Trust me on this.
Mum.
If you get locked up,
don't expect me to come visit you.
Why would I get locked up?
I am not committing any crime.
We just want to keep the peace.
So people can do business. That is all.
We have the police.
Let them do their work.
The police don't care about us squatters.
They have no time for us.
So? What do you want?
For triads to protect this place?
Mum, we are not the triad.
If you are not,
why accept protection fees then? Tell me.
What?
They extorted money
and mentioned your name.
Where should I hide my face?
It's humiliating!
Excuse me.
- Yes.
- Sir.
I got an order from Luka.
From this day onward,
you have to pay
a protection fee of RM 540.
- Why would Luka do that?
- No need to complain.
If you want your shop to be safe,
just pay the fee.
- How much?
- RM 540.
Five forty?
- All is good, yes?
- Yes.
I've told you many times.
Do not misuse my name!
We are not the triad.
We don't take people's money!
- That hurts.
- We all have jobs.
I still work at that iron shop, you fool!
I'm sorry.
Pian, this is why I didn't want
to join this kind of thing.
The problem is,
he is the only one who did this.
- Not the rest of us.
- True!
That's right, Luka.
Idiot!
Fine. It starts with one. And then?
Two. And then three.
Eventually, we all act like those triads.
Luka. You should teach him a lesson.
As a reminder to everybody.
Please don't.
I promise I won't do it again.
We are not the triad.
This is why I never wanted to join these.
Yes, we're stronger
when there are many of us.
But when there are many of us
and we're stronger,
there will be those who misuse that power.
There will be those who exploit it.
Are they enough?
Are my fists enough to make sure
these things won't happen again?
Am I able to prevent all that
with mere strength alone?
Ridiculous!
That's enough.
I pity the punching bag.
Kaseh, what are you doing here?
Looking for you.
I haven't seen you at the stall all day.
Pian said that you were stressed out
and I should look for you here.
Thank you.
This poor punching bag.
It's all torn and broken.
A punching bag is made to be punched.
That's a given.
However, a human being?
They were not made
to be punched and kicked.
They can fight back.
And sometimes they need to fight back.
Luka, ever since
you protected our territory,
I can see no more problems here.
Everybody can do business
as usual in peace.
Bono's gang isn't harassing us anymore.
Thank you.
This place is peaceful not because of me.
It's because of those men.
They rose up after being suppressed.
I'm just here to motivate them.
It was your spirit
that motivated them to rise.
Luka, what is actually your dream?
I want to get my parents out of here.
I want to give them a better life.
Just them?
Yes.
No. I mean everybody.
You, Pian.
- Everybody.
- All of them?
That's too many.
If I can't get everyone out,
then I will bring a better life here.
I'll develop the squatters area.
What is it?
Nothing.
Tell me now.
It's nothing.
Good night. Goodbye.
Luka!
We have to go now.
- What for?
- Bidin.
- What's up with him?
- He robbed the gold store
near the junction
and said it was your order.
That wretch. Why drag me into it as well?
How should I know?
The police are looking for you now.
I'm innocent!
Luka, your innocence is not the issue.
If they arrest you and lock you up,
who knows when you'll get out?
- Lock me up?
- Yes.
- Let's go.
- Where to?
The police station.
What will you tell them?
They'll just handcuff you
and throw you in there.
Right now, think about your parents.
Follow me. We will leave right away.
Kaseh.
Luka, I'll wait in the car.
Are you leaving?
- I don't want to, but...
- I know.
Stay and you'll get arrested.
And we...
I don't want you in jail.
At least you can
protect yourself out there.
Kaseh, I promise you.
I will come back when things calm down.
I promise to get everybody out of here.
I know.
It's okay. I'll wait.
Kaseh.
- I want to tell you that...
- Tell me later.
Once you return.
Go.
Take good care of yourself.
I will always pray for you.
Ma'am, are you the mother
of a man named Luka?
I am.
Can you tell us where he is now?
Actually, my son
hasn't been home for a long time.
You have to cooperate with us.
If you know where your son is,
it will help our investigation.
If there's nothing else, can I go back in?
Okay. Thank you, ma'am.
That day
marked the start
of a new chapter in my life.
Living as a fugitive.
Far away from those I love.
Alone without anybody for support.
Bono.
Bidin. How was jail? Was it fun?
Was it fun?
It was, boss.
I told you. Just one month
and I'd bail you out.
Thank you, boss.
What's important is that
the idiot doesn't know.
He's rotting out there!
Pali!
We have succeeded!
We can resume our work tomorrow!
Abang Long Luka. Congratulations.
Lim, let's be discreet.
I heard you have an issue with Bono.
Let me remind you.
Your name is on the up.
Your soldiers are increasing.
But you have to remember one thing.
Those are not a leeway
for you to breach other territories.
When you go into someone's space,
you have to greet them.
Or you can discuss it
with Pak Long Birin first.
The problem is,
Bono is also a member of our organization.
I understand.
The problem is,
they're empty vessels
that make much noise.
Every organization has its laws.
I seek refuge in Allah
from the accursed Satan.
In the name of Allah,
Most Gracious and Merciful.
In the name of Allah.
- Peace be upon you.
- And you.
My dear, esteemed Ayahanda
who are here today,
now that I've listened
to what we discussed earlier,
please allow me
to share some of my views and opinions.
What is happening right now
in this fight of ours
is extremely different
from what was fought
by the pact members of old.
Nowadays, our own members
would rather fight
with each other than others.
There is no more love
or loyalty to the pact.
There is no more harmony
in this journey of ours.
I call on all the Ayahanda
who are here today
to bring it back.
To bring back the order and the harmony
that was brought to us once upon a time
by the elders before us
like Ayahanda Haji Yusof,
Ayahanda Ustaz Haji Hamzah,
Ayahanda Zainol Abidin,
and the rest of the elders
who safeguarded the harmony
of our pact in its struggles.
What we have to do right now
is bring back
the three things that we vowed before.
Our brotherhood, economy, and welfare.
We can see what's happening now
between Bono
and Luka.
They are both in the same council
but are against each other.
This is not a good thing.
Fighting should be
the last thing on our minds.
If we can resolve it with a cup of coffee,
let's resolve it with a cup of coffee.
Giving in
doesn't mean giving up.
So, I hope that after this,
Bono and Luka
can maintain their brotherhood.
I hope that after what happened today,
we will take it as a lesson,
avoid conflict,
and strengthen our harmony and friendship.
And if such a thing were to happen again,
they would be punished.
May Allah bring success
and guidance to you
and peace be upon you.
The meeting is adjourned.
Peace be upon you.
I want to see you for a moment.
Have a seat.
Drink.
You have to understand
why I made that decision.
We're in an organization
that comes with rules.
Even wars have rules.
Moreover, we're Malays.
We're people of manners and decorum.
It's not wrong to listen
to those who came before us.
I respect your decision.
I just hope to resolve this quickly.
Bono is getting out of line.
He has breached all territories.
I understand.
I have asked Ayah Lan
to resolve this issue.
You have to remember
that you are an Abang Long.
You can't breach territories
with an Ayahanda in charge.
I don't want them to complain about you.
I have a big plan for you.
Preserve your good name.
Peace be upon you, sir.
What are you doing?
Are you still tidying up?
What do you want?
Sergeant!
Just wanted to inform you that the council
has ordered us to continue work.
We were on quite a break
so you can
breathe.
You godforsaken people.
I have no time for your shenanigans.
You should leave.
Or what?
Or what?
Will you call Luka?
The one who should be protecting
the peace and harmony of this place?
The one who had
to run away from the police?
I ought to...
Relax, brother. See here?
Do you dare?
Sergeant. We'll come back tomorrow.
Come here, sir.
Sir.
Tell your son here
to give us what we want.
Sergeant. Sir. We have to go.
Let's go.
Tomorrow!
Ayah, you have a call.
Lan.
Don't do this. This is all I have.
- Hurry up.
- Relax.
Please. That's all I have.
- You're so slow.
- Give me more.
Don't do that.
- What about in your pocket?
- I don't have any.
Hurry up.
- Oh God. Give it back.
- Hurry up!
Oh my God.
Don't do this. That's my money.
Hurry up.
You're so slow.
I'm sorry, sir. I won't do that again.
To hell with your sorry!
What is this? How dare you?
You bastards!
You're extorting a stall owner?
Why not do that to those lottery shops?
Those whorehouses?
That's Pak Long.
Eat this. You love extorting, right?
Yes, sir.
Eat this.
Eat more!
That's a mad old geezer.
He just beat everybody.
That's the old man
I said I will introduce you to later.
We will see him tonight.
After living on the run
for quite some time,
I finally met Pak Long.
That is after I was invited by Lim.
He has a big house.
Isn't it beautiful?
Pak Long is a man of taste.
Pak Long is a very distinctive character
compared to others I've met before.
Hi, Lim!
It's been a while.
- Are you well?
- Yes.
What have you been up to recently?
- Are you here to see Pak Long?
- Yes, I'm here to see Pak Long.
- I have some things to take care of.
- Okay, I won't bother you anymore.
The first time I saw him,
I was truly impressed.
This old man
was truly one of a kind.
Luka, let's go.
ONE HEART, OBEDIENT, LOYAL
My meeting with Pak Long
changed all my assumptions
about life in an organization.
Pak Long succeeded in opening my eyes.
Yes?
- Who is the organizer here?
- It's Luka. Why?
- Can you call him?
- Okay. Wait here.
Luka, someone is here to see you.
Please, take a seat.
Yes?
- Is there anything I can help you with?
- There is.
I want you and all of these people
to get lost.
Understand?
Get lost?
What did I do wrong?
Don't question me.
Next week, I want all these gone.
Including you.
Hold on. I just need to know
why I have to leave.
Since you came here,
my business has gone sideways.
It's bankrupt.
Brother.
As Malays,
we have to have more manners.
Less of the rudeness.
Did you check if those alcohol
and lottery shops were closed?
Once they're closed, you can come here.
Stop blabbering.
I want you to move by next week.
You have a problem?
What's the commotion?
Nothing. We were just talking.
You're discussing so loudly.
Listen. He is my brother.
Hurt him, and you hurt me.
Go home.
Be careful.
Mum?
Why are you back?
The police will get you.
Mum, I am innocent.
I was framed.
Because you gave people
the opportunity to do so.
Because of the things you did.
Mum, don't do this.
It's been a while since I saw you and Dad.
You can see me now.
Your dad and I are fine. No need to worry.
Mum.
Take it. For your use.
What money is this?
It's my salary.
Your salary?
For what kind of work?
Beating people? Stealing from others?
Mum, don't do this.
So?
You've never beaten anyone?
You've never extorted protection money?
Hey.
I'd rather burn the money than use it.
Just go.
Your dad will be here soon.
If he sees you like this,
it'll break his heart. Go.
Mum.
Forget about it.
Kaseh, if he'd been here,
we wouldn't have ended up like this.
It's been two years.
If he wanted to come back,
he'd be here already.
The police are not hunting him anymore.
I'm sure
he will not abandon us.
He will not neglect us.
He is not that kind of man.
You have been away
from here for years, Luka.
A lot has happened.
After you went away,
nobody could protect us.
So, our men are no longer here?
They're here.
That day, my heart was broken
to witness the condition of my friends
who once fought alongside me.
I couldn't let them continue this way.
I had to fulfill my promise
to get them out of this place.
Initially, Kaseh didn't understand
what I was trying to do.
She thought that I had
forgotten my promises.
No.
Kaseh.
I promised to bring all of you
out of this life.
Or at least
bring in a better life
for all of you.
The big plan that I was talking about.
In truth,
I hope that one day,
you will take my place.
Be my successor.
I'm sorry.
I have a leader before me.
Give it to him.
Two things make you a leader.
First.
You have to stay put.
Not be a fugitive.
Second.
Everybody must know you.
Bosses.
Luka's influence is growing.
Anyway,
Pak Long has ordered
everybody not to breach any territory.
Awesome.
Right now, we want you to attack Luka.
Correct.
I heard that Pak Long
wants to make him an Ayah.
We will all lose face soon.
I can do it for you. No worries.
But if all you have is words,
all you will get are words.
Here's your deposit.
We are Ayahanda with class.
We have class too.
Won't you join us?
Are you leaving?
Pian.
Hey.
What's with you?
I'm fine.
Why so quiet?
Usually, you're the chatty one.
What are you thinking about?
I am thinking about our men, Luka.
My father.
Your mum.
Kaseh.
I'm worried too.
But Pak Long made us a promise.
Let Ayah Lan settle it.
If nothing is resolved,
we'll get involved.
I promise.
I promise.
Don't call me "boss."
Do you want me to hit you?
Luka.
I have a gift for you.
A gift?
Happy birthday.
My birthday is a long way off.
It's in two weeks.
It's okay for me to be the first
to give you a gift, right?
I mean, I could be busy on the day itself.
I might not get the chance.
You and your shenanigans.
I have to go.
Luka.
Before I go, I want you to know
that no matter what happens to me,
my loyalty,
my honesty,
and my sincerity...
are reserved for a man called Luka.
What are you drinking?
Smarter now.
- Leave.
- Let's go.
Go.
What are you doing?
Nothing. It's been a while
since we came here.
I want to treat you all today.
Pali, order some food.
- Give me lamb chop.
- We don't have that.
Spaghetti carbonara?
We don't do Western food here.
- How about fried rice?
- We don't have that either.
You said there was no Western food.
He's asking for a Malay dish.
Are you even Malay?
We have nothing. We're closed.
Closed? We just saw customers earlier.
I only open my business for people to eat.
- Not for apes like you.
- How dare you!
Hey, Pali.
Relax. We will go after her last.
We have lots more to do.
Come on. Let's go to a different stall.
This place is classless.
Help her "tidy up."
Your drink.
Hello, Pian.
Luka, that idiot Bono
is getting worse now.
He wants to burn my father's store down.
How do you know that?
I am on my way there.
Calm down, Pian. Do not be emotional.
It's my father's store.
I can't let it slide.
I can't do anything right now.
It's Pak Long's order.
But I can.
Pian. Pian!
Sir, where is your son?
Sir, where is your son?
Don't do this, Bono. Please.
I will pay you whatever you want.
You were cocky before, right?
With your son here?
And now you're begging me?
- Beg more, sir.
- Please.
- Beg more, sir.
- Please.
- More.
- Please, Bono.
What are you doing, you bastard?
Sergeant!
Come here.
Go!
Go ahead.
All this time you followed Bono around,
this is what you learned?
Traitor!
Sergeant!
Oh, God.
Oh, God. My son.
Goodness.
Pian.
Answer me, Pian!
My son.
Answer me, Pian.
I just wanted some money, sergeant!
Oh God.
Pian, my son.
Let's go.
Pian!
Pian.
Pian.
Pian.
Al-Fatihah.
I was bound by the pact.
At the same time,
I'd lost my comrade-in-arms
just because he wanted to defend the fate
and dignity of someone he loved.
I couldn't continue to remain silent.
I have to go.
Pak Long.
I want to see you for a moment.
Over there.
I know how you feel, Luka.
But I am glad
that you still have your wits about you.
This happened
because I followed the rules.
I'd rather break them.
Do what you think is right.
I give you my blessing.
But remember.
My advice is,
once you do it, you have to pass the buck.
What now, Luka?
Didn't you see
what happened to my brother Pian?
Don't you worry about your mother?
Your father?
Me?
How long?
How long will you live in your darkness?
I don't want to lose you.
Yes.
Kaseh was right.
But no matter the action
I was about to take,
I was doing it for all of them.
Forgive me.
Why did you touch Pian?
He's one of ours. Your pact brother.
Now, the whole pen is opened.
We're screwed!
Don't ever mention our names.
We have already paid you.
All we did was follow your order.
But I told you not to kill anybody.
I wanted Luka to make the wrong decision
and attack our territory.
Only then could we bring him down.
Understand?
I do.
But you know, right?
You can't be choosy in a war.
One side will always lose.
It's about luck.
We didn't mean to.
I didn't mean to.
The guy who died
was Luka's right-hand man.
But I am your right-hand man.
It's like you hurt his parents.
Whether you meant to do it or not,
he has the right to attack you now.
You've ruined all our plans!
Those drugs have made you stupid.
If anything happens,
don't ever mention us.
- Otherwise...
- Just you wait.
Just say I'll die!
- Hey, Luka.
- Sir.
Sit down.
I'll go after Bono on my own.
Luka.
Stay here.
If I don't come back,
come pick me up.
Luka.
Be careful.
Bono, you have to go. Luka is here.
Where is Luka? Bring him to me.
Luka!
Bono, you have to go.
He has beaten a lot of our men!
Go.
Damn it!
Where is Bono?
Answer me before I destroy your face.
Where is Bono?
Okay. I'll tell you. I'll take you there.
Which one of your hands touched Kaseh?
Which hand?
This is for Kaseh.
I'm looking for Bono. Pray for me.
Luka, don't you think that...
Luka?
Damn you!
Come at me.
Bono.
I have a gift for you.
Come at me.
Pali.
Damn you!
Wanna play?
Try me!
You want to try me? You'll die today!
Get up, Luka.
Come at me.
Get up, Luka!
Damn you!
Get up.
You want to play, right?
Get up.
You want that, right?
Damn you.
Get up.
You really want to kill me, Luka?
If I had wanted to kill you,
you'd be dead by now.
But today is perfect for that killing.
If that's true,
come at me.
Show me your worth, Luka!
Come at me!
Luka.
Before I go, I want you to know
that no matter what happens to me,
my loyalty,
my honesty,
and my sincerity...
are reserved for a man called Luka.
Every action
has its consequences.
However, that day,
I was prepared to do what was needed
for the sake of everybody around me.
And I was prepared
to accept the consequences,
whatever those might be.
People like you
are unworthy of life.
You should have died a long time ago.
I would like to fulfill my friend's wish.
Pian sends his regards.
Don't move! You're under arrest!
POLICE
I'm sorry.
I did this for your sake.
I promise I will always visit you.
No matter the intention...
Take him.
- No matter how good or bad one is...
- Luka?
I care for you.
...if one is caught for one's offense,
whether it was big or small,
eventually,
prison becomes one's destination.
IN MEMORIAM
DR. AHMAD IBRAHIM, 1947-2023
PRODUCTION ADVISER
CREATIVE ARTS INITIATIVE
CITRA MUTIARA FOUNDATION
What's with you?
What's with you?
Hey, kids. Stop!
What's wrong with you two?
Enough!
- Luka!
- Hey!
They're fighting!
Let them.
You want to fight? Why stop?
Your dad gave you permission. Go ahead.
Proceed.
My name is Luka.
And this is
where I came from.
BASED ON A TRUE STORY
My life here
meant that I was used to
these kinds of things.
Look at it yourself.
This place
is cramped.
- Messy.
- Here.
- Crowded.
- It's a waste not to use it now.
You don't even get this in heaven.
Overcrowded and drug-filled.
Vice.
Violence.
Theft.
As well as other stupid,
unhealthy activities.
Come again if you have money.
My door is always open.
See you again. Make sure you come.
Every day
felt so suffocating.
Uncomfortable.
And rowdy.
However,
even in that suffocating, cramped,
and dirty place,
there was also beauty
and elegance.
A little bit of charm that made life here
a little bearable.
What do we do?
Darling, you just got home.
Why are you leaving again?
You haven't even warmed the couch!
I'm going out to work,
not to get myself a mistress.
Understand?
I know. Work is important.
But not too much
that you neglect your son!
If I don't work all day all night,
who will make money for this family?
And how about you? It's late.
Where is our son?
What kind of mother are you?
Darling, Luka doesn't like being at home.
But you don't know that
because you're so rarely at home yourself.
Come on. This is such a headache!
You and your nagging!
Hey!
I've told you repeatedly.
Do not meddle in our territory.
This guy.
See.
- I was fighting at home.
- How dare you fight back?
- I was fighting outside too.
- You imbecile.
Hey!
Do you want me to beat all of you up?
- Let's go.
- You're just lucky.
Fighting was part and parcel of my life.
Although I have tried to avoid it,
I don't know why,
but it always finds me.
The fight always finds me.
I...
I fight not because I love it...
but because at the time,
it was the only way for me
to fight against injustice.
Yes. It sounds overdramatic.
But...
But that's the thing.
It is what it is.
Bidin.
Luka's man.
Do you really want to join me?
Yes.
Yes.
Will you do anything for us?
I will do anything.
Are you willing to destroy Luka's life?
I am.
If you come here haphazardly
and you create trouble, you'll die.
- Did you understand what Bono said?
- Yes!
- Any questions?
- No, sir!
Repeat after me.
- Honor, honor!
- Honor, honor!
- Honor the vow!
- Honor the vow!
- Loyal, loyal!
- Loyal, loyal!
- Loyal and true!
- Loyal and true!
- Disobedience!
- Disobedience!
- Disobedience is death!
- Disobedience is death!
- Honor, honor!
- Honor, honor!
- Honor the vow!
- Honor the vow!
- Loyal, loyal!
- Loyal, loyal!
- Loyal and true!
- Loyal and true!
- Disobedience!
- Disobedience!
- Disobedience is death!
- Disobedience is death!
- You only live once!
- You only live once!
- You only die once!
- You only die once!
How many times must I say it?
I am not your boss
and you're not my driver.
I know. But we're going to the meeting.
Everybody who's everybody
will come out from the back seat.
That's a boss move.
That's them, not me.
Who will be there today?
I heard that
everybody's going to be there.
All the Ayahanda
and Big Brothers will be there.
I hope Pak Long has made his decision.
Right.
We have already delayed this
for a long time.
If we'd settled this right from the start,
this wouldn't have happened.
You know, right?
We can't just do what we want.
- We have a leader.
- I know.
The problem is some of
the other Ayahanda are getting involved.
It's bigger than it was before now.
That's good.
Go big or go home.
Let everybody know.
Here's your nasi lemak.
- Okay. Thank you.
- Thank you.
Peace be upon you, ma'am.
And you. Pian!
- How are you?
- I'm fine. Are you well?
I am. Do you want nasi lemak?
Yes, ma'am. Sell me everything you have.
Every time you're here,
you buy everything.
It's the guys in my office.
One day without it and they get cravings.
Really? Praise be to God.
- Are you on your way to work?
- Yes, ma'am.
That looks like Luka's car.
No. This one is mine.
Maybe it's because it's the same make.
But this one is mine.
It's all good with you now, yes?
You have a good job.
- And you have a new car.
- Praise be to God, ma'am.
It is all thanks to my boss.
My boss has given me
a lot of opportunities.
- Unlike that...
- Ma'am.
If nobody is buying the cakes,
I'd like to get all of them.
- I'll buy them all.
- Really?
Of course.
May you be blessed
with more fortune, Pian.
Amen to that.
- Let me pack it up for you.
- All right.
Ma'am!
- Ma'am.
- Do you want nasi lemak?
- Put it back.
- I don't want the rice.
Just the richness.
What are you talking about?
Don't you know
you need a license to sell here?
Really?
How about this?
Give us RM 100
and we'll pay it to the council.
It's not easy to make RM 100
even in a week.
And you want my money?
Ma'am, if you can't pay, that's fine.
We'll seize everything.
Give me back my stuff!
Oh my God!
What are you doing?
- I need to sell these.
- Mum!
Goodness. What is wrong with these kids?
All of my stuff is ruined.
What do you think you're doing?
- Hey!
- Luka.
What are you doing here, boy?
Don't you know you can't do business
without a license?
License, my foot!
Enough, Luka!
Hey, get up!
- What are you waiting for? Get him!
- Hey!
How many times must I tell you?
If I beat you up, you're all screwed.
Leave!
Let's go.
Mum.
Why were you fighting?
They were harassing you.
What's the good of doing that?
Look at our stuff!
How will I do business now?
- Mum.
- No need! I'll do it myself!
As for the rest, keep the change.
- This is too much.
- It's okay. Please excuse me.
- Peace be upon you, ma'am.
- And you.
Praise be to God. I am thankful.
Thank You, God.
Put it in ice. It'll fade faster.
No need, Kaseh. It doesn't hurt that much.
Really? You were moaning in pain.
- I could hear you from the kitchen.
- No, I wasn't.
This is nothing. No, thanks.
Let me see.
That's cold!
Get a grip.
Aren't you supposed to be a hero?
Hero.
A hero has to endure.
How do you feel?
How do you feel
after punching the kid's face?
It's not enough.
I wanted to punch his face harder.
In a fight, timing is everything.
He was bothering my mother
where she does business.
I can't just stand there.
Luka, the reason was good.
But the timing was wrong.
This means you're not ready yet.
As a man, we always need both of these.
Luka, you have to train them.
Once they're ready,
it means the time has come.
How about this?
Join me.
I have men who can cover for you.
And be just like Bono and his boys?
Doing stupid things?
No, thanks.
We'll join an association.
This is not about that.
Don't use Bono as an example.
It's okay. I'm not interested.
I'm fine on my own.
But I will never let him
bother anybody anymore.
How many times must I tell you?
No license, no business here!
Do you think this squatter area
doesn't need to obey the laws?
I'm sorry, Bono.
I don't have money for this week.
I'll pay double next week.
Hey, look at them.
Do they look like civil servants?
Bono.
Customer.
What do you want?
You should leave.
Do not harass the merchants here.
Where is Wan Filem?
I am not his man.
Then what are you doing here?
Stopping you from harassing others.
What a pushover!
Why are you fighting?
May Allah forgive my sins.
What's happening here?
Luka!
Hey.
- Sir.
- Yes.
I heard what happened yesterday.
So? Were you satisfied?
Satisfied?
Once I get to stomp on Bono's neck
I will be satisfied.
That's great. It means you're ready.
But you can't do it on your own.
You need backup.
If it's just Bono and his men,
I can deal with them.
Luka, if Bono can't defeat you,
he'll bring more men.
If that's the case,
I will mow them all down.
But how many can you face?
As many as I can
before I fall.
Sir.
If you want me to join your pact,
no thank you.
I'm not interested.
Even without a team,
I can beat a security guard.
If I have a team I might even beat a CEO.
I am just trying to help you.
I can see you're talented and driven.
Sir.
Most of these guys under the pact
protect the premises
where illicit activities take place.
Night clubs. Dangdut clubs.
Did they make their vow
on a Chinese newspaper or something?
That's the problem.
One rotten apple
spoils the whole barrel.
It's okay. I understand.
How about this, Luka?
If you ever change your mind,
come find me.
Luka.
If you won't join a pact,
let us join you.
I understand what you're saying.
But just like Man said,
you have talent and drive.
So?
What do you want me to do?
Start a pact?
Become your leader?
Not like that.
Just look at our place.
Look at how we're doing.
My dad?
That was his only store
and they still extort money from him.
Man Belon here.
His dad only sells laksa at the junction.
They extort money from him too.
These guys were all extorted.
Luka.
I just want you to think about it.
These guys and I are ready for you.
We're not looking for trouble.
But when we're in trouble,
who is there to help us?
We're just squatters, Luka.
Everybody bullies us.
Luka.
We just need a leader.
And we're confident
you're worthy of that role.
Why don't you lead instead?
Me?
I can't, Luka.
I am not a very patient man.
I am easily distracted
and rarely think twice.
No, thanks.
Nice.
From then onwards,
I was no longer alone.
For the sake of protecting the peace
and dignity of the people here,
I agreed to Pian's wishes.
That's so bad!
Pian, let's pay.
- Excuse me!
- Yes?
- Yes?
- How much for everything?
It's okay. For today, it's on the house.
- Are you serious?
- It's on the house.
However, little by little,
I began to feel that
something was changing.
Okay, thank you.
I...
Thank you.
I didn't want us to go "there".
Peace be upon you.
And you.
Where's Dad?
He isn't home yet?
Why do you want to know?
Aren't you busy
protecting your "brothers"?
Mum. It's not like that.
We're not the triad.
We just want to protect
the safety of this place.
I'm sure you love it.
Fighting day and night.
That's not what we do, Mum. Trust me.
If you keep on doing this,
sooner or later, you'll be locked up.
Trust me on this.
Mum.
If you get locked up,
don't expect me to come visit you.
Why would I get locked up?
I am not committing any crime.
We just want to keep the peace.
So people can do business. That is all.
We have the police.
Let them do their work.
The police don't care about us squatters.
They have no time for us.
So? What do you want?
For triads to protect this place?
Mum, we are not the triad.
If you are not,
why accept protection fees then? Tell me.
What?
They extorted money
and mentioned your name.
Where should I hide my face?
It's humiliating!
Excuse me.
- Yes.
- Sir.
I got an order from Luka.
From this day onward,
you have to pay
a protection fee of RM 540.
- Why would Luka do that?
- No need to complain.
If you want your shop to be safe,
just pay the fee.
- How much?
- RM 540.
Five forty?
- All is good, yes?
- Yes.
I've told you many times.
Do not misuse my name!
We are not the triad.
We don't take people's money!
- That hurts.
- We all have jobs.
I still work at that iron shop, you fool!
I'm sorry.
Pian, this is why I didn't want
to join this kind of thing.
The problem is,
he is the only one who did this.
- Not the rest of us.
- True!
That's right, Luka.
Idiot!
Fine. It starts with one. And then?
Two. And then three.
Eventually, we all act like those triads.
Luka. You should teach him a lesson.
As a reminder to everybody.
Please don't.
I promise I won't do it again.
We are not the triad.
This is why I never wanted to join these.
Yes, we're stronger
when there are many of us.
But when there are many of us
and we're stronger,
there will be those who misuse that power.
There will be those who exploit it.
Are they enough?
Are my fists enough to make sure
these things won't happen again?
Am I able to prevent all that
with mere strength alone?
Ridiculous!
That's enough.
I pity the punching bag.
Kaseh, what are you doing here?
Looking for you.
I haven't seen you at the stall all day.
Pian said that you were stressed out
and I should look for you here.
Thank you.
This poor punching bag.
It's all torn and broken.
A punching bag is made to be punched.
That's a given.
However, a human being?
They were not made
to be punched and kicked.
They can fight back.
And sometimes they need to fight back.
Luka, ever since
you protected our territory,
I can see no more problems here.
Everybody can do business
as usual in peace.
Bono's gang isn't harassing us anymore.
Thank you.
This place is peaceful not because of me.
It's because of those men.
They rose up after being suppressed.
I'm just here to motivate them.
It was your spirit
that motivated them to rise.
Luka, what is actually your dream?
I want to get my parents out of here.
I want to give them a better life.
Just them?
Yes.
No. I mean everybody.
You, Pian.
- Everybody.
- All of them?
That's too many.
If I can't get everyone out,
then I will bring a better life here.
I'll develop the squatters area.
What is it?
Nothing.
Tell me now.
It's nothing.
Good night. Goodbye.
Luka!
We have to go now.
- What for?
- Bidin.
- What's up with him?
- He robbed the gold store
near the junction
and said it was your order.
That wretch. Why drag me into it as well?
How should I know?
The police are looking for you now.
I'm innocent!
Luka, your innocence is not the issue.
If they arrest you and lock you up,
who knows when you'll get out?
- Lock me up?
- Yes.
- Let's go.
- Where to?
The police station.
What will you tell them?
They'll just handcuff you
and throw you in there.
Right now, think about your parents.
Follow me. We will leave right away.
Kaseh.
Luka, I'll wait in the car.
Are you leaving?
- I don't want to, but...
- I know.
Stay and you'll get arrested.
And we...
I don't want you in jail.
At least you can
protect yourself out there.
Kaseh, I promise you.
I will come back when things calm down.
I promise to get everybody out of here.
I know.
It's okay. I'll wait.
Kaseh.
- I want to tell you that...
- Tell me later.
Once you return.
Go.
Take good care of yourself.
I will always pray for you.
Ma'am, are you the mother
of a man named Luka?
I am.
Can you tell us where he is now?
Actually, my son
hasn't been home for a long time.
You have to cooperate with us.
If you know where your son is,
it will help our investigation.
If there's nothing else, can I go back in?
Okay. Thank you, ma'am.
That day
marked the start
of a new chapter in my life.
Living as a fugitive.
Far away from those I love.
Alone without anybody for support.
Bono.
Bidin. How was jail? Was it fun?
Was it fun?
It was, boss.
I told you. Just one month
and I'd bail you out.
Thank you, boss.
What's important is that
the idiot doesn't know.
He's rotting out there!
Pali!
We have succeeded!
We can resume our work tomorrow!
Abang Long Luka. Congratulations.
Lim, let's be discreet.
I heard you have an issue with Bono.
Let me remind you.
Your name is on the up.
Your soldiers are increasing.
But you have to remember one thing.
Those are not a leeway
for you to breach other territories.
When you go into someone's space,
you have to greet them.
Or you can discuss it
with Pak Long Birin first.
The problem is,
Bono is also a member of our organization.
I understand.
The problem is,
they're empty vessels
that make much noise.
Every organization has its laws.
I seek refuge in Allah
from the accursed Satan.
In the name of Allah,
Most Gracious and Merciful.
In the name of Allah.
- Peace be upon you.
- And you.
My dear, esteemed Ayahanda
who are here today,
now that I've listened
to what we discussed earlier,
please allow me
to share some of my views and opinions.
What is happening right now
in this fight of ours
is extremely different
from what was fought
by the pact members of old.
Nowadays, our own members
would rather fight
with each other than others.
There is no more love
or loyalty to the pact.
There is no more harmony
in this journey of ours.
I call on all the Ayahanda
who are here today
to bring it back.
To bring back the order and the harmony
that was brought to us once upon a time
by the elders before us
like Ayahanda Haji Yusof,
Ayahanda Ustaz Haji Hamzah,
Ayahanda Zainol Abidin,
and the rest of the elders
who safeguarded the harmony
of our pact in its struggles.
What we have to do right now
is bring back
the three things that we vowed before.
Our brotherhood, economy, and welfare.
We can see what's happening now
between Bono
and Luka.
They are both in the same council
but are against each other.
This is not a good thing.
Fighting should be
the last thing on our minds.
If we can resolve it with a cup of coffee,
let's resolve it with a cup of coffee.
Giving in
doesn't mean giving up.
So, I hope that after this,
Bono and Luka
can maintain their brotherhood.
I hope that after what happened today,
we will take it as a lesson,
avoid conflict,
and strengthen our harmony and friendship.
And if such a thing were to happen again,
they would be punished.
May Allah bring success
and guidance to you
and peace be upon you.
The meeting is adjourned.
Peace be upon you.
I want to see you for a moment.
Have a seat.
Drink.
You have to understand
why I made that decision.
We're in an organization
that comes with rules.
Even wars have rules.
Moreover, we're Malays.
We're people of manners and decorum.
It's not wrong to listen
to those who came before us.
I respect your decision.
I just hope to resolve this quickly.
Bono is getting out of line.
He has breached all territories.
I understand.
I have asked Ayah Lan
to resolve this issue.
You have to remember
that you are an Abang Long.
You can't breach territories
with an Ayahanda in charge.
I don't want them to complain about you.
I have a big plan for you.
Preserve your good name.
Peace be upon you, sir.
What are you doing?
Are you still tidying up?
What do you want?
Sergeant!
Just wanted to inform you that the council
has ordered us to continue work.
We were on quite a break
so you can
breathe.
You godforsaken people.
I have no time for your shenanigans.
You should leave.
Or what?
Or what?
Will you call Luka?
The one who should be protecting
the peace and harmony of this place?
The one who had
to run away from the police?
I ought to...
Relax, brother. See here?
Do you dare?
Sergeant. We'll come back tomorrow.
Come here, sir.
Sir.
Tell your son here
to give us what we want.
Sergeant. Sir. We have to go.
Let's go.
Tomorrow!
Ayah, you have a call.
Lan.
Don't do this. This is all I have.
- Hurry up.
- Relax.
Please. That's all I have.
- You're so slow.
- Give me more.
Don't do that.
- What about in your pocket?
- I don't have any.
Hurry up.
- Oh God. Give it back.
- Hurry up!
Oh my God.
Don't do this. That's my money.
Hurry up.
You're so slow.
I'm sorry, sir. I won't do that again.
To hell with your sorry!
What is this? How dare you?
You bastards!
You're extorting a stall owner?
Why not do that to those lottery shops?
Those whorehouses?
That's Pak Long.
Eat this. You love extorting, right?
Yes, sir.
Eat this.
Eat more!
That's a mad old geezer.
He just beat everybody.
That's the old man
I said I will introduce you to later.
We will see him tonight.
After living on the run
for quite some time,
I finally met Pak Long.
That is after I was invited by Lim.
He has a big house.
Isn't it beautiful?
Pak Long is a man of taste.
Pak Long is a very distinctive character
compared to others I've met before.
Hi, Lim!
It's been a while.
- Are you well?
- Yes.
What have you been up to recently?
- Are you here to see Pak Long?
- Yes, I'm here to see Pak Long.
- I have some things to take care of.
- Okay, I won't bother you anymore.
The first time I saw him,
I was truly impressed.
This old man
was truly one of a kind.
Luka, let's go.
ONE HEART, OBEDIENT, LOYAL
My meeting with Pak Long
changed all my assumptions
about life in an organization.
Pak Long succeeded in opening my eyes.
Yes?
- Who is the organizer here?
- It's Luka. Why?
- Can you call him?
- Okay. Wait here.
Luka, someone is here to see you.
Please, take a seat.
Yes?
- Is there anything I can help you with?
- There is.
I want you and all of these people
to get lost.
Understand?
Get lost?
What did I do wrong?
Don't question me.
Next week, I want all these gone.
Including you.
Hold on. I just need to know
why I have to leave.
Since you came here,
my business has gone sideways.
It's bankrupt.
Brother.
As Malays,
we have to have more manners.
Less of the rudeness.
Did you check if those alcohol
and lottery shops were closed?
Once they're closed, you can come here.
Stop blabbering.
I want you to move by next week.
You have a problem?
What's the commotion?
Nothing. We were just talking.
You're discussing so loudly.
Listen. He is my brother.
Hurt him, and you hurt me.
Go home.
Be careful.
Mum?
Why are you back?
The police will get you.
Mum, I am innocent.
I was framed.
Because you gave people
the opportunity to do so.
Because of the things you did.
Mum, don't do this.
It's been a while since I saw you and Dad.
You can see me now.
Your dad and I are fine. No need to worry.
Mum.
Take it. For your use.
What money is this?
It's my salary.
Your salary?
For what kind of work?
Beating people? Stealing from others?
Mum, don't do this.
So?
You've never beaten anyone?
You've never extorted protection money?
Hey.
I'd rather burn the money than use it.
Just go.
Your dad will be here soon.
If he sees you like this,
it'll break his heart. Go.
Mum.
Forget about it.
Kaseh, if he'd been here,
we wouldn't have ended up like this.
It's been two years.
If he wanted to come back,
he'd be here already.
The police are not hunting him anymore.
I'm sure
he will not abandon us.
He will not neglect us.
He is not that kind of man.
You have been away
from here for years, Luka.
A lot has happened.
After you went away,
nobody could protect us.
So, our men are no longer here?
They're here.
That day, my heart was broken
to witness the condition of my friends
who once fought alongside me.
I couldn't let them continue this way.
I had to fulfill my promise
to get them out of this place.
Initially, Kaseh didn't understand
what I was trying to do.
She thought that I had
forgotten my promises.
No.
Kaseh.
I promised to bring all of you
out of this life.
Or at least
bring in a better life
for all of you.
The big plan that I was talking about.
In truth,
I hope that one day,
you will take my place.
Be my successor.
I'm sorry.
I have a leader before me.
Give it to him.
Two things make you a leader.
First.
You have to stay put.
Not be a fugitive.
Second.
Everybody must know you.
Bosses.
Luka's influence is growing.
Anyway,
Pak Long has ordered
everybody not to breach any territory.
Awesome.
Right now, we want you to attack Luka.
Correct.
I heard that Pak Long
wants to make him an Ayah.
We will all lose face soon.
I can do it for you. No worries.
But if all you have is words,
all you will get are words.
Here's your deposit.
We are Ayahanda with class.
We have class too.
Won't you join us?
Are you leaving?
Pian.
Hey.
What's with you?
I'm fine.
Why so quiet?
Usually, you're the chatty one.
What are you thinking about?
I am thinking about our men, Luka.
My father.
Your mum.
Kaseh.
I'm worried too.
But Pak Long made us a promise.
Let Ayah Lan settle it.
If nothing is resolved,
we'll get involved.
I promise.
I promise.
Don't call me "boss."
Do you want me to hit you?
Luka.
I have a gift for you.
A gift?
Happy birthday.
My birthday is a long way off.
It's in two weeks.
It's okay for me to be the first
to give you a gift, right?
I mean, I could be busy on the day itself.
I might not get the chance.
You and your shenanigans.
I have to go.
Luka.
Before I go, I want you to know
that no matter what happens to me,
my loyalty,
my honesty,
and my sincerity...
are reserved for a man called Luka.
What are you drinking?
Smarter now.
- Leave.
- Let's go.
Go.
What are you doing?
Nothing. It's been a while
since we came here.
I want to treat you all today.
Pali, order some food.
- Give me lamb chop.
- We don't have that.
Spaghetti carbonara?
We don't do Western food here.
- How about fried rice?
- We don't have that either.
You said there was no Western food.
He's asking for a Malay dish.
Are you even Malay?
We have nothing. We're closed.
Closed? We just saw customers earlier.
I only open my business for people to eat.
- Not for apes like you.
- How dare you!
Hey, Pali.
Relax. We will go after her last.
We have lots more to do.
Come on. Let's go to a different stall.
This place is classless.
Help her "tidy up."
Your drink.
Hello, Pian.
Luka, that idiot Bono
is getting worse now.
He wants to burn my father's store down.
How do you know that?
I am on my way there.
Calm down, Pian. Do not be emotional.
It's my father's store.
I can't let it slide.
I can't do anything right now.
It's Pak Long's order.
But I can.
Pian. Pian!
Sir, where is your son?
Sir, where is your son?
Don't do this, Bono. Please.
I will pay you whatever you want.
You were cocky before, right?
With your son here?
And now you're begging me?
- Beg more, sir.
- Please.
- Beg more, sir.
- Please.
- More.
- Please, Bono.
What are you doing, you bastard?
Sergeant!
Come here.
Go!
Go ahead.
All this time you followed Bono around,
this is what you learned?
Traitor!
Sergeant!
Oh, God.
Oh, God. My son.
Goodness.
Pian.
Answer me, Pian!
My son.
Answer me, Pian.
I just wanted some money, sergeant!
Oh God.
Pian, my son.
Let's go.
Pian!
Pian.
Pian.
Pian.
Al-Fatihah.
I was bound by the pact.
At the same time,
I'd lost my comrade-in-arms
just because he wanted to defend the fate
and dignity of someone he loved.
I couldn't continue to remain silent.
I have to go.
Pak Long.
I want to see you for a moment.
Over there.
I know how you feel, Luka.
But I am glad
that you still have your wits about you.
This happened
because I followed the rules.
I'd rather break them.
Do what you think is right.
I give you my blessing.
But remember.
My advice is,
once you do it, you have to pass the buck.
What now, Luka?
Didn't you see
what happened to my brother Pian?
Don't you worry about your mother?
Your father?
Me?
How long?
How long will you live in your darkness?
I don't want to lose you.
Yes.
Kaseh was right.
But no matter the action
I was about to take,
I was doing it for all of them.
Forgive me.
Why did you touch Pian?
He's one of ours. Your pact brother.
Now, the whole pen is opened.
We're screwed!
Don't ever mention our names.
We have already paid you.
All we did was follow your order.
But I told you not to kill anybody.
I wanted Luka to make the wrong decision
and attack our territory.
Only then could we bring him down.
Understand?
I do.
But you know, right?
You can't be choosy in a war.
One side will always lose.
It's about luck.
We didn't mean to.
I didn't mean to.
The guy who died
was Luka's right-hand man.
But I am your right-hand man.
It's like you hurt his parents.
Whether you meant to do it or not,
he has the right to attack you now.
You've ruined all our plans!
Those drugs have made you stupid.
If anything happens,
don't ever mention us.
- Otherwise...
- Just you wait.
Just say I'll die!
- Hey, Luka.
- Sir.
Sit down.
I'll go after Bono on my own.
Luka.
Stay here.
If I don't come back,
come pick me up.
Luka.
Be careful.
Bono, you have to go. Luka is here.
Where is Luka? Bring him to me.
Luka!
Bono, you have to go.
He has beaten a lot of our men!
Go.
Damn it!
Where is Bono?
Answer me before I destroy your face.
Where is Bono?
Okay. I'll tell you. I'll take you there.
Which one of your hands touched Kaseh?
Which hand?
This is for Kaseh.
I'm looking for Bono. Pray for me.
Luka, don't you think that...
Luka?
Damn you!
Come at me.
Bono.
I have a gift for you.
Come at me.
Pali.
Damn you!
Wanna play?
Try me!
You want to try me? You'll die today!
Get up, Luka.
Come at me.
Get up, Luka!
Damn you!
Get up.
You want to play, right?
Get up.
You want that, right?
Damn you.
Get up.
You really want to kill me, Luka?
If I had wanted to kill you,
you'd be dead by now.
But today is perfect for that killing.
If that's true,
come at me.
Show me your worth, Luka!
Come at me!
Luka.
Before I go, I want you to know
that no matter what happens to me,
my loyalty,
my honesty,
and my sincerity...
are reserved for a man called Luka.
Every action
has its consequences.
However, that day,
I was prepared to do what was needed
for the sake of everybody around me.
And I was prepared
to accept the consequences,
whatever those might be.
People like you
are unworthy of life.
You should have died a long time ago.
I would like to fulfill my friend's wish.
Pian sends his regards.
Don't move! You're under arrest!
POLICE
I'm sorry.
I did this for your sake.
I promise I will always visit you.
No matter the intention...
Take him.
- No matter how good or bad one is...
- Luka?
I care for you.
...if one is caught for one's offense,
whether it was big or small,
eventually,
prison becomes one's destination.
