I hate it when people say money isn't everything.

People say money can't buy love, but without money, good luck finding someone to love.

People say you can't take money to the grave.

Yet not having money may send you to an early grave.

People argue that money won't make you smart, good looking,

pretty or skinny.

In this world, only one percent of people are rich.

The rest of us are merely slaves,

toiling at our daily jobs to ensure the rich get richer.

Once you realize all this, you're left with only two choices.

You can go on living as if nothing is wrong with the world,

or

you can choose to rise up and free yourself

from the chains of slavery.

Don't move! Everyone, on the ground now!

Don't do anything stupid!

-Iman. -Shut up, Kak Mas!

Okay. Before anything else happens,

this is my story.

Good morning, sir.

My name is Iman. I worked as a teller

at Bintang Bank.

Even after two years, I've never been offered a promotion.

Thank you, sir!

-Good morning. -Good morning.

A teller is basically an over-glorified cashier.

Handling cash, opening accounts, deposits and withdrawals.

Most people think a career in banking promises a great salary,

but my pay is just RM2,000 two thousand ringgit a month,

and since I don't have a university degree,

this is the only job I can get.

Excuse me, ma'am, but we don't accept one cent coins.

Why, you lazy bum? Are you saying one cent isn't money?

Ma'am, no bank is crazy enough to accept one cent coins.

Redza, my boss, head of Personal Banking.

Expert at kissing clients' asses.

Is this how you treat a customer?

Madam Wai's a regular.

As long as she brings her money here, in whatever shape or form,

you'll take it.

That's all banks ever care about, your money.

She's senile, Boss. Just last week, she asked me

to exchange a RM1,000 note into five-cent coins.

-What the hell? -What the hell, you said?

As long as she keeps her money here, just shut the hell up.

If you can't handle this job, then leave.

Many people out there want your job.

Didn't I tell you? We're just slaves.

Apologize to her, and don't forget this brochure.

Madam Wai.

No manners!

This one is very interesting, very low risk but with a high profit potential.

There is one good thing about working here though.

During lunch time, I get to hang out with Intan,

head of Cyber Security and my best friend since childhood.

Irene, Chief Technology Officer, Intan's boss.

Six-figure salary.

Her shoes alone are worth the price of a car.

How should I answer to the board?

Hey, just what do you think you're doing in my department?

You came just to flirt with my boss, is that it?

They say, hell hath no fury like an unmarried woman.

Not you… Your boss.

Let's go.

Could you have a look at this?

Have a look at what? That's not my job.

Come on!

What's up?

Last month, they attacked Mentari Bank.

Mentari had to pay 20 million to get their data back.

These days, a bank's number one enemy is no longer thieves

but hackers.

The next time you're notified that your bank's system is down,

there's a chance that it's under attack from hackers.

Back to ransomware. What is it?

Imagine that hackers locked access to all your files,

all your customer data, every single account.

To restore that data, you'll need to pay a hefty ransom.

Four minutes?

Look here.

Server A is down, right?

But when you scan…

How can we get rid of it? I can't even detect it!

The server's been hacked, but the system can't detect anything.

Who the hell are these guys?

Hang on.

Wait a minute. What if they obfuscated their code?

Obfuscate.

Meaning whoever did this modified the ransomware code

to appear like an ordinary file.

That's why it can't be detected, even after we scanned for it.

I activated the UPX script I usually used,

removed all the modifications

…replicated admin functions, hide in RAM.

Who the hell are these guys?

To remove the ransomware,

I'll have to look for its encryption key.

Next, decrypt and restore all files and data.

What the hell did you just do?

I can smell it on my fingers.

One-cent coins? Are you kidding me?

Don't believe me? Here.

Hey, cut it out!

-Intan. -Serves you right.

-Hey… -Who asked you to mess with me?

What?

If you like her, just tell her. What if she falls for someone else?

What?

Hey, what's the matter with you?

You bought me a latte? You know I can't drink milk.

Latte? No, I got you a black coffee.

I think we switched drinks.

God! You're such a failure!

I can't drink milk. How many times do I have to remind you?

Can't you just drink it? You don't drink any milk?

I've told you so many times that I don't drink milk.

Sorry, I forgot.

Just drink it.

-Who is it? -Irene is asking for a report.

So, we're not hanging out tonight?

I told you, I'm working.

Intan. So is everyone else.

Well, if you want to move up in life, you have to hustle, right?

You also have to kiss ass and stab others in the back.

What the hell's wrong with you?

Can you stop complaining? Do you know how lucky you are

to have a job? Do you know how many people out there don't have a job?

You sound just like my boss.

What?

And that's for the latte!

Damn shawarma!

God, what's all this?

Hey, look where you're going!

Hey, are you crazy?

Dad, I can't hold it!

Go do your business someplace else!

Dad, it's coming out. Hurry up!

That's the problem with you. Weak muscles!

Can't even hold it!

What's all that stuff by the door?

Black cumin pills. Good for health. Even our prophet used to take them.

My friend's been selling these. Got me to join as his sub-distributor.

Give me a week, and I'll overtake his sales.

You used the money I gave you?

That was for our rent,

not for your multi-level marketing schemes.

You think money grows on trees?

That's the problem with you.

Always thinking you don't have money.

It's no wonder you don't have any.

Tell me then, when was the last time you had money, Dad?

Every thought is a prayer.

If you want money, you have to start thinking

like someone who has money. That's how you attract money.

I'm the one who's earning money, Dad.

All you do is lounge around at home every day like a bum,

talking about making money.

What money? Where's the money? Nothing has changed!

I'm tired of hearing the same thing every day!

Hey, keep the volume down!

-Shut up! -Shut up!

To hell with your cumin pills.

Watch it! Those are the prophet's pills you're talking about!

Sometimes, it feels like I'm the only adult in this family.

Dad never thinks twice before doing anything.

A long time ago, I was just like him.

Back in college, I used to hack into servers till I got kicked out.

After that, no one was willing to hire me.

But that was back then.

Now, I have a proper job, a monthly salary. Life is perfect.

Dad!

Dad! Dad! Dad, what's wrong? Can you hear me?

Dad! Dad! Dad, what's wrong?

Dad!

Iman. How is your dad?

I don't know.

-Mr. Iman. -Doctor.

Luckily, you were with him when it happened.

So is he okay, Doctor?

He still needs a bypass surgery, but as you know, this is

a government hospital, so there's a waiting list.

Okay.

I'll take out a loan, okay?

Don't worry. I'll help you out.

That's why I want to ask for a loan, Boss.

Yes, that's right.

Iman.

Iman, you're a contract staff.

You're not permanent, like Lisa, Joanne, Alisa, Marsha, Ariff.

Even though Ariff comes late, his work is good.

Permanent, Boss?

I've been here for two years already.

Isn't it time you made me permanent, Boss?

All this has to do with your attitude, and so far,

your attitude, sorry to say, is average.

Please, Boss.

How's your dad?

He's been like that since yesterday.

Iman.

I have something to tell you.

My loan wasn't approved.

My mom.

No, Intan. You don't have to.

No. I want you to have it.

It's okay. Keep your money.

Iman, you and your dad are like family to me.

It's okay, I'll find a way.

Last night, we fought over money.

Again because of money.

Now, I don't have a single cent to help my dad.

It's not your fault, Iman.

It's not your fault.

Then why do I feel so guilty?

Why do I feel like God is trying to tell me something?

It's just me who doesn't understand.

Hey.

Hey, over here.

Nuriman bin Shah Karim.

Is this your real name?

Yes. it's my real name.

If I ask you nicely, answer nicely.

Your dad owes me RM30,000 for some of his business, he said.

No…

- Who's going to pay me that money? - I don't have any money. I swear.

I don't understand you people.

You're the ones in power.

You people have it easy. Money, houses, cars, education,

yet you keep saying you don't have money.

Stop saying you don't have money!

I'll find it! I'll get your money!

I'll get your money…

You can lie to God, but you can't lie to Devan.

Two days.

All right?

Sis, have you had your coffee yet?

Coffee? No.

One hot Americano for our lovely lady here.

For me? Thank you.

Excuse me.

Your…

Meet Ash, my new assistant. Ash, this is Iman.

Yes, I think that was the last one.

Thank you.

Okay. I'll leave you two.

You know where to find me if you need me. I'm going to see Shemad.

Not Shemad but Shemad.

Yes, Shemad. Iman, nice to meet you. See you guys around.

Where's that from?

It was an accident. I hit my head on a door.

You have to be more careful.

You want me to go with you to the hospital today?

That's okay. Let my dad rest.

-Are you really okay? -I'm okay.

Hey! Tell me, where has all this money gone?

Look here, one cent, two cents, four cents. Where did it all go?

Are you people stealing from me? What gives you the right

to deduct my money?

Keep this up, and all my savings will be gone.

Listen! Do you have any idea what is GST? Service charges?

Transfer fees? All those one- and two-cent deductions

are service fees. You think everything is free?

This is a bank! Even if we wanted to steal your money,

we definitely wouldn't steal one or two cents!

Idiot!

- How can you simply deduct my money? - Why didn't I think of this before?

How could I have been so stupid?

The answer was staring me in the face all along.

Have you ever received a file or attachment in your inbox,

and as soon as you clicked on it, your computer or phone

got hacked?

That file is essentially a piece of malware,

or malicious software, designed to hack your device.

Here at Bintang Bank, we believe in banking for your future.

With 9.5 million customers in more than 10 countries worldwide,

we offer a wide range of services to suit

all your banking needs.

Dad's operation is RM60,000.

OPERATION ABAH: RM60,000

He owes Devan RM30,000.

DEBT TO DEVAN: RM30,000

Bintang Bank has 9.5 million customers.

BINTANG BANK: 9.5 MILLION ACCOUNTS

Deduct one cent from each account, and that's RM95,000 a day.

ONE CENT FROM EACH ACCOUNT RM95,000 EVERY DAY

The root of all evil isn't money.

The root of all evil is when you don't have money,

and you're forced to find a way out.

Two years working an office job, a slave to a salary,

and I still don't have enough to help my dad.

What other choice do I have?

To break into the bank, I designed a piece of malware

and hid it inside an innocent-looking file.

Hi, Bintang Bank Admin.

Iman here. I'm taking medical leave today.

I generated an email, attached my malware…

and sent it off to my boss.

Baby! What if someone sees?

From Redza's PC, my malware starts spreading across the office.

Its mission?

To find the administrator's PC, a special computer connected directly

to Bintang Bank's central servers.

Intan, babe, we have a problem.

Once the malware reaches the admin PC, it'll freeze,

and they'll call Intan in to have a look.

Go, go, go.

The screen went blank.

Let me try and reboot it.

To reboot the system, she'll have to type the password.

There.

All banks have a server room.

Each server contains all the information

about each customer's account and the bank's daily operations.

Every bank in the world has a collection account

-to collect GST, service charge… -Where is it?

credit card payments and service charges.

I deducted one cent from 9.5 million customers' accounts,

labelled it as a service charge

and transferred it into the collection account.

Then, I searched for dormant or inactive accounts,

which I'd use to transfer the money out.

Gundu Enterprise. Inactive for ten years.

I transferred the RM95,000 from the collection account

into the dormant account belonging to Gundu Enterprise.

Hey. Break it open.

It's you now.

Hurry up! He's getting away!

Go!

Hey, you! You get going!

Go on, jump!

- He'll escape! Catch him! - Hey, you get outside!

Get going.

You're smoking too much. Yesterday, today…

Are you eating the stuff?

That kid of yours, go send him to school or something

and wipe that disgusting drool from your mouth.

Bro, Bintang Bank, Precinct 5.

Hey, idiot, what do you think this is?

A taxi? You need to book your ride on the app, stupid!

Come on, help a brother out.

- The Porter! - The Porter! Let's take the Porter!

Why go all the way to Precinct 5? Why don't I take you

to the nearest bank?

Please, bro. It's not that far.

Idiot! Don't you see I'm in the right lane?

First, if I transfer the money online, I risk being detected.

Secondly, if I withdraw the cash at an ATM, there's a limit.

There's only one way to withdraw RM95,000 in cash.

I'll have to collect it at the bank.

Even then, the bank will ask all sorts of questions,

unless I get an officer to authorize it.

What do they want?

Bro, drive faster!

Hey, idiot! This road is full of speed traps!

Who's going to pay the fine?

Fine, I'll pay you an extra RM50!

RM100 or nothing!

Yes!

Faster!

Go!

Damn it! No one messes with my side mirror! Idiot!

Hi, Bintang Bank, Sungai Dalang branch, CK speaking.

Hi, CK. I'm Mamu from Gundu Enterprise.

My boss sent me to pick up some cash.

Sir? What's that?

Nothing, just some kids playing with firecrackers.

Kid! Stop fooling around with those firecrackers.

Idiot!

Okay, just prepare the cash. I'll be arriving soon!

Be patient, be patient.

-Don't stop! Bro! -Shut up, you idiot!

Don't stop! Bro!

Bro! Don't stop, bro! Just go!

Get out! Now!

Damn idiot!

Go! Go! Go!

-Yes, I'm… -Mr. Mamu?

Sir? Did you bring your staff ID?

I need to verify your identity.

Staff ID? Oh, man, I totally forgot.

I left it behind. Is it possible to use

this instead?

Sure.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

Sir?

Don't you want to count the money first?

It's okay. Banks wouldn't cheat their customers, right?

You want to shoot me? Go ahead!

- Your friend here, making a scene! - You don't have to shout!

Here, bro. For your car.

Hey, please.

Eh, idiot, go count your money some place else!

Shut up!

You're asking me to shut up? You have no idea who I am,

you stupid idiot.

I'll remember your face.

I don't have a clue what you're saying, you idiot.

What a stupid gangster.

What's with all the drama, man? What a screwed-up day.

With the remainder of the money, I paid for my dad's operation.

I was thinking… if I could solve my dad's problems,

I could solve all the other problems in my life,

beginning with Intan.

I know what I did was wrong,

but when I looked at my dad's face, lying on that bed,

I thought…

let me bear the burden of this sin,

as long as he's safe and sound.

I swore to myself I'd never do it again.

I'm not a thief.

I know who I am.

I promise, I won't do it again!

Please bro, I have a wife and kids! Please bro!

I promise, I won't do it again!

I can only hope that one day…

God will forgive my sins.
