00:00:31 on the journey of self-exploration.
00:00:36 In the process of challenging
00:00:42 Such journey is known as
00:00:48 It's a learning curve against
00:00:52 It'll only end when one
00:00:56 himself knowledgeable of
00:01:00 Nature becomes the tutor,
00:01:04 providing a shinning guidance,
00:01:07 illuminating right from wrong.

00:03:47 - Assalamualaikum.
00:03:54 Today is warmer than usual.
00:03:58 The weather is not gonna please you
00:04:01 just because it's your last day here,
00:04:04 and neither is your Mom.
00:05:42 Listen,
00:05:48 when Yayan came back from
00:05:52 we were discussing the trials
00:05:59 which might have hurt his feelings.
00:06:04 But we do this out of love and
00:06:07 our responsibilities as your elders.
00:06:16 We were at fault for judging him
00:06:20 Yayan has proven himself
00:06:24 It's unnecessary for him to torture
00:06:27 just to make himself a better
00:06:36 In truth...
00:06:41 you don't need to too.
00:06:43 Mom...
00:06:44 What Mom meant is
00:06:48 whatever other people said,
00:06:50 might not be the actual truth.
00:06:55 You must be thankful about
00:06:58 your own level of achievement.
00:07:10 Come on home... my son,
00:07:15 whenever you feel you're ready.
00:07:21 I will do my utmost best,
00:07:29 Allah's willing.
00:08:15 Ready, Tok Guru?
00:09:17 That's enough!
00:09:22 I think you're ready.
00:09:27 Come on.
00:09:47 Take this with you.
00:09:49 It belongs to your father.
00:09:51 Allah's willing,
00:09:58 I will be careful.
00:10:30 I will make Mom be proud of me.
00:10:36 I'm already proud of what
00:10:44 Take good care of yourself.
00:12:46 - Assalamualaikum.
00:12:48 - Mind if I sit here?
00:12:52 - My name's Eric.
00:12:56 What're you doing going to Jakarta?
00:13:00 I am wandering.
00:13:05 Wandering?
00:13:08 I am just like you before.
00:13:10 - Yeah?
00:13:14 What's your occupation in Jakarta?
00:13:17 I just worked anywhere,
00:13:20 to wherever my feet take me.
00:13:23 What's your plan in Jakarta?
00:13:27 I hope to teach "silat"
00:13:31 Silat?
00:13:36 I'm sorry.
00:13:38 It was not my intention
00:13:41 You just reminded me of a
00:13:46 You practice silat too?
00:13:48 Yeah, I still remember it well.
00:13:53 What's your experience so far,
00:14:00 Listen...
00:14:03 Learn from your mistakes.
00:14:05 Removed all the fantasies
00:14:10 It's not enough that you lived just
00:14:15 Trust me...
00:14:18 I've taken the challenge before.
00:14:21 I hope that my advice to you
00:14:26 Tried to make a living by other means.
00:14:32 In reality,
00:14:34 it's not like what we learnt in school.
00:14:38 Nothing comes easy in this world.
00:15:01 It looks like we should depart
00:15:05 Seems like it.
00:15:06 Good luck in your undertaking.
00:15:08 Till we meet again.
00:15:10 Take care of yourself.

00:19:57 Those kids they come here and
00:20:01 Unbelievable!
00:20:02 I am new here. I am looking
00:20:07 Maybe you know a place
00:20:10 Probably not, most of the Tok guru
00:20:14 You most likely can tutor from home.
00:20:18 It's just a coincidence that my place
00:20:22 I don't have a clues.
00:20:25 If you ask me regarding foods,
00:20:30 - Of course, thanks for the help.
00:20:41 - Bill's please.
00:20:50 Hey, what're you up to?
00:20:52 - I'll be back.
00:21:35 - My wallet!
00:21:39 I'm not going to hurt you,
00:21:41 What say you, we divide 50/50?
00:21:45 What?
00:21:46 That's my wallet and money,
00:21:50 Alright!
00:21:52 70/30?
00:21:59 Thanks!
00:22:01 Just be calm, it's all there.
00:22:06 I still need to check it.
00:22:10 I'll take 40% of your salary
00:22:12 That's crap. What I get on stage
00:22:17 You want to work at another place?
00:22:19 Your skinny body is not much of
00:22:22 Damn you!
00:22:23 You know what, if you're willing,
00:22:33 Please Johni,
00:22:35 You know I need this job.
00:22:37 No, you've really gone too
00:22:40 I beg you, Johni!
00:22:42 Let me go... sis!
00:22:46 Sis!
00:22:47 - I need this, I beg you.
00:22:49 - Don't bully her.
00:22:52 What? Now what?
00:22:55 You want to apologize, is it?
00:23:00 I want to hear you say I'm sorry.
00:23:04 Where's the money?
00:23:07 Quickly.
00:23:13 If you continue to behave like today,
00:23:18 Remember to be on time for
00:23:25 Release her!
00:23:27 Why don't you just leave, friend.
00:23:32 You know who you're tangling with?
00:23:35 No, I don't.
00:24:10 I think it's better you go back inside,
00:24:15 and forget all this.
00:24:18 How about it?
00:24:23 Thank you.
00:24:39 Johni, this has nothing to do
00:24:41 I gave you work when no one
00:24:45 and this's how you show your gratitude?
00:24:48 Don't step foot in here ever again.
00:24:51 Let's see how long you can survive
00:24:55 Johni wait, I can give you 40%!
00:24:58 Shit!
00:25:04 Great... that's just great, my hero!
00:25:08 Tell me, do you always messed
00:25:11 What?
00:25:13 He was choking you and
00:25:16 Yeah... and because of you
00:25:22 I faced quite a lot of problems
00:25:25 You only make the situation worse.
00:25:30 I don't want to be here too.
00:25:32 Now that I've got back my wallet...
00:25:35 - I'm going off.
00:25:38 Sis... no! He can help protect us.
00:25:42 He has done more than enough.
00:28:44 That will do for me.
00:28:49 I tell you, mister... Johni brings
00:28:53 only for mister.
00:28:56 Johni, you said there'll be 5 girls.
00:28:59 - Okay, but we have...
00:29:04 Now they're fresh, for that I'm happy.
00:29:12 But...
00:29:14 I may be a man of business, but that
00:29:19 If you fuck over a businessman,
00:29:24 He'll only hurt your pocket,
00:29:25 but me, I'm kind of special.
00:29:30 So if saying, I order 5 pizzas and
00:29:33 on the day of delivery I only get 4,
00:29:36 well then I'll be forced to
00:29:40 But...
00:29:44 I might also cut you, a little bit.
00:29:49 Leave a mark...
00:29:52 Something you know...
00:29:54 So that we have a clear understanding
00:30:00 Do you follow me, Mr. Johni?
00:30:04 I bring 5 girls today.
00:30:07 Good, so I don't have to hurt you.
00:30:11 Mister... mister come to my club,
00:30:15 Fresh girls... free of charge,
00:30:20 - You are a good host, Johni.
00:30:28 Take them please.
00:30:44 Hello!
00:30:46 We need one more girl.
00:30:50 Get the car and wait for
00:30:51 We need to find Astri.
00:30:53 I don't care how difficult it is,
00:31:03 Shit!
00:31:26 Ayi!
00:31:30 Astri here!
00:31:34 Ayi isn't home.
00:31:37 I heard her went out earlier.
00:31:40 Did she say where she was going?
00:31:42 She said that she's meeting
00:31:45 Some men came to fetch her.
00:31:47 They were really rough with her,
00:31:49 but she says she's okay.
00:31:53 What's happening?
00:31:55 - Who fetch her?
00:32:06 Get in.
00:32:59 - Assalamualaikum.
00:33:02 Yuda... child.
00:33:05 Please keep quiet. It's Yuda
00:33:08 - Mom... - Just a moment.
00:33:12 Just keep quiet and played your games.
00:33:14 - Who's that Mom?
00:33:21 - How's everyone there, Mom?
00:33:26 But that's not important,
00:33:30 Have you found a job yet?
00:33:37 Yuda?
00:33:39 I'm doing fine, Mom.
00:33:40 I have started teaching silat
00:33:42 I'm glad to hear that.
00:33:46 I know that you'll definitely overcome
00:33:57 Johni... you're useless!
00:34:01 Release me!
00:34:11 Struggle again and I'll slapped you.
00:34:19 That's a good girl.
00:34:24 Hold her!
00:34:29 Hold her!
00:34:34 Someone hold this woman!
00:34:36 Let's just get her inside.
00:34:42 Who do you think you're?
00:34:47 Are you the boss now?
00:34:50 You needs me to iron your clothing too?
00:34:53 How about polishing your shoes?
00:34:56 Hold her!
00:35:18 - Mom, I've got to go. I'll call
00:35:39 If it isn't that hero again.
00:35:44 I was hoping to meet you again,
00:35:47 but that soon?
00:35:49 What's so special about him?
00:35:52 He has a handsome face,
00:35:55 but is he as beautiful as
00:35:57 Are you okay?
00:36:01 I'm fine.
00:36:59 I remember that you were
00:37:13 but I have extra help now.
00:37:17 1, 2, 3, 4.
00:37:23 I will remember that number
00:37:32 Until we meet again...
00:37:36 hero!
00:41:54 Let's see what else is fun.
00:42:04 Fuck... they should be fucking
00:42:08 Move!
00:42:13 Sorry we are late!
00:42:37 See what happens when you
00:42:40 Money!
00:42:56 What's this?
00:42:59 Nice!
00:43:04 This... this is a discount.
00:43:13 Mister, I can explain this.
00:43:15 She was very difficult to come.
00:43:18 She was very hard.
00:43:22 I just want you...
00:43:26 Well, she's here at least.
00:43:30 - She is here, she's yours.
00:43:32 mistakes my lack of disappointment
00:43:35 as a sign of content.
00:43:36 She's still damaged goods.
00:43:39 She's good!
00:43:44 Okay, do your thing.
00:44:11 Fuck... fuck!
00:44:17 No one. No one fucking knows.
00:44:21 Who was it?
00:44:24 What?
00:44:27 - Fucking take it!
00:44:36 He came for the girl.
00:44:39 That's not what we are here for.
00:44:42 He came for the girl and you... you,
00:44:46 you brought the girl here.
00:44:50 I promise... I promise,
00:44:54 Well, fuck ya! I know you will!
00:44:58 And you gotta find me the largest
00:45:02 fucking knife in this city.
00:45:04 And that...
00:45:07 that's what gonna happened.
00:45:09 - Come on, we don't have time for this.
00:45:16 Now go.
00:45:20 Take your men and go.
00:46:05 Adit!
00:47:49 Yuda!
00:48:08 What are we going to do now?
00:48:11 Don't worry. I know a place
00:48:34 - How long have you been...
00:48:40 3 years.
00:48:43 What happens to your parents?
00:48:46 They left us.
00:48:49 Leave you all behind?
00:48:56 My parents thought if they
00:49:02 they will have many children who will
00:49:06 But they seemed to forget,
00:49:08 prior to that they have many
00:49:17 As the time passed,
00:49:21 And not all of us were fed.
00:49:29 And then one day,
00:49:33 before I awoke,
00:49:39 they left us.
00:49:40 They just left Adit and me behind.
00:49:44 They took along 2 sisters
00:49:50 Until now I still don't know why or
00:49:54 how they chose none of us.
00:49:58 I really don't know how they
00:50:01 But I work hard,
00:50:04 and I make sure that Adit
00:50:06 There isn't a single day that we
00:50:10 and he never will.
00:50:15 He was fortunate to have
00:50:18 I am the lucky one.
00:50:22 He is the reason I carry on.
00:50:27 If not I may still be at the club,
00:50:35 Yayan and me,
00:50:38 my brother...
00:50:40 been competing against one
00:50:44 We always competed in whatever we do.
00:50:49 We usually are on the opposing side,
00:50:51 pretending to challenge each other.
00:50:54 Being the younger one,
00:51:00 Yayan will always extend
00:51:05 He knew I would be disappointed
00:51:12 Yayan always knew what he was doing.
00:51:15 His timing was such that
00:51:18 just when Dad arrived home.
00:51:22 He caused me to get into
00:51:25 I believe now that he seldom
00:51:30 As we grew older, I became
00:51:33 stronger and a harder opponent,
00:51:38 but he was also getting smarter.
00:51:41 That too was influenced
00:51:45 I don't know whether he realized it,
00:51:49 but he became someone
00:51:54 I wish to be like him.
00:51:57 Why don't you just return home?
00:52:01 - It's not as simple as that.
00:52:05 You can go back to your home town
00:52:08 No one knows exactly how
00:52:10 The same goes for you too.
00:52:14 Go to Sumatra and be a tomato picker?
00:52:16 Is it any better staying here
00:52:18 I am a dancer, alright!
00:52:21 There are differences between
00:52:23 If those men just like to
00:52:26 And that's all they are getting.
00:52:28 I get paid and
00:52:36 I'm sorry,
00:52:40 I apologize!
00:52:55 This means we're getting along well.
00:52:58 It just meant I'm hungry.
00:53:04 I will leave you so that
00:53:14 What is it?
00:53:18 Good night!
00:53:22 Good night!
00:53:43 You're losing sight of the
00:53:45 This is not the time nor the place
00:53:52 We have to be careful.
00:53:54 When we were boys...
00:53:56 We will always made sure
00:53:58 no matter how big or small, right?
00:54:01 Right? That's how we got
00:54:03 This isn't a point to prove, Ratger.
00:54:05 This is just fucking bullshit
00:54:07 from finishing what seems
00:54:14 Dominic did this to you.
00:54:17 What did I do to him?
00:54:21 - That's not the same.
00:54:23 Every scar is the same,
00:54:27 Now tell me, what did I do to him?
00:54:29 - We were just kid's back then.
00:54:33 And I will do the same thing now,
00:54:37 Look alright, all I'm saying is
00:54:42 What's important is that we finished
00:54:48 It's okay, right?
00:54:49 This is not important, is it?
00:54:52 We stayed and we settled this.
00:55:06 Come here, I'm sorry.
00:55:08 I'm sorry!
00:55:21 Give you just give me that much.
00:55:24 Just... just give me that much.
00:55:35 What?
00:55:38 Johni brings men!
00:55:40 Strong help to finish Mr. Boss
00:55:43 And?
00:55:46 They here... they here.
00:55:49 Faster!
00:56:04 Don't fucking sit!
00:56:11 Why are they here?
00:56:14 So you know... you know--
00:56:16 No, I don't know.
00:56:20 I want to do best and good.
00:56:23 Best and good?!
00:56:25 Why the fuck would I want to see them?
00:56:27 Is this an interview?
00:56:29 Do they have resume?
00:56:32 Now get them out on the street.
00:56:34 The only one's I want to see is the one
00:56:45 I'm sorry...
00:56:47 do you understand what I'm saying?
00:56:51 - You do?
00:57:07 And Johni?
00:57:12 It goes for you too.
00:57:14 If you come back here and if
00:57:18 I'll fucking ripped your heart out.
00:57:24 Yes, Mr. Boss!
00:57:35 I'll fix this.
00:57:53 - Jo... I'm going to get cigarettes.
00:58:01 It's impossible that you enter
00:58:05 I worked hard for the money.
00:58:10 Furthermore, we don't have other
00:58:17 Where is the money?
00:58:22 Trust me.
00:58:29 Okay! It is under the carpet,
00:58:35 Just wait here.
00:58:38 Don't come out before I come back.
00:58:42 Be careful!
01:00:28 Hey! Hey... hey, over here!
01:00:31 There are 2 persons here, quickly.
01:00:59 Get in there, faster.
01:01:01 Wait, it can only fit one person.
01:01:04 You might not fit in.
01:01:05 Don't worry about me.
01:01:08 No, don't go!
01:01:11 Adit trust me!
01:01:16 I promise I'll come back for you.
01:01:20 Now sit there quietly,
01:01:50 Don't make a sound.
01:03:19 He is up here!
01:07:06 Adit, where's Astri?
01:07:10 They took her away.
01:07:12 She asked me to sit here quietly.
01:07:16 I didn't do anything to save her.
01:07:20 Adit, hold on to this.
01:07:22 Please don't leave me again.
01:07:25 Listen, I can't take you with me.
01:07:28 It's too dangerous.
01:07:30 Now, you just wait here.
01:07:34 I will bring Astri back.
01:07:36 I swear!
01:07:40 Be strong for one last time.
01:08:56 Astri?!
01:08:58 You know I can't tell you
01:09:01 I'm not giving you a choice.
01:09:09 He lived in that apartment,
01:09:20 - Why don't you let someone just
01:09:27 How many more floors are they?
01:09:30 - Level 9?
