All language subtitles for Laskar.Pelangi.2008.eng

They call me Ikal (Curly),
born and bred in Belitong.

These images
are undisputed proof...

...that Belitong is one of
Indonesia's richest islands.

It's an island overflowing
with tin.

It tempted other nations
to take over...

...all of the island's potential.

And even after the county gained
its independence...

...the Belitong people are still
unable to enjoy...

...their own natural wealth
due to bureaucratic walls.

Those walls diminish opportunities
and hope.

But those walls could never break
our spirit.

Especially the spirit of a poor boy
from the coastal area...

...who later grew up to be
the most extraordinay person...

...I've ever met in my life.

Are you excused from work
to take Ikal?

Yes, I got half the day off.

I hope they get 10 students.

I want Ikal to learn about Islam
from Mr. Harfan.

Just wear them, Kal,
you'll look lovely.

Stop teasing your brother!

Kal, just wear them for now.

When I get more money,
I'll buy you better ones.

I'm going now.
Come, Kal.

Give my best regard to Mr. Harfan!

Where are you going? You're going
to put him in that collapsing school?

That school's roof
is falling apart!

What's school for?
Hell end up being a coolie anyway!

That morning,
10 was a sacred number for eveyone.

I'm going teaching, Mother.
-Oh, yes.

Peace be upon you.-And you.

Kucai, let's go to school!

Oh, Sahara's already going
to school?

What's your name, son? -I'm Lintang
from Tanjong Kelumpang, Ma'am.

I want to go to school!
-Dear God.

You rode a bike this far?
By yourself?

My father has to go out to sea.
He can't come.

Now park your bike over there.
Hopefully you can go to school.

Peace be upon you, Mr. Harfan.
-You too.

Who have you got there, Mus?

The first student who comes, Sir.

Lintang, a boy
from the coastal area.

I'm confident
we'll get 10 students today.

Hey, get inside!
-And who is this? A Kiong?

10 became a crucial number...

...not only to the two
extraordinay teachers...

...Mr. Harfan and Miss Muslimah.

One more person.

But also to us, poor children who can
only go to an inexpensive school...

...in one of Indonesia's
richest islands.

Today fate would determine whether
these kids would get education...

...or straight away become coolies
and workers...

...at the state-owned company PN Timah.

Your shoes are pretty, Kal.

Dad, this one smells of sunburn.

Meanwhile, behind the fence...

...we knew the PN Timah Elementay
was full of new students.

Monday is batik day.

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
and Saturday...

...it's a white-and-blue uniform.

Well wait until 11 o'clock, Mus.

10 students or no class at all!

That's said on The Central Education
Supervisors warning letter.

It's past 11 o'clock, Mus.

We have to tell the children
and their parents.

9 or 10 students,
what's the difference?

We can still teach them.

Yes, but you know what this is.

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you.

I am so thankful to Allah Almighty...

...because all of you have come here
to save...

...the oldest Islamic Elementary
education in Belitong.

A school where moral lessons
are taught...

...to produce upright citizens.

However, if eventually this school
can't get 10 new students...

...we can't open a new class.

Let's all accept this
whole-heartedly.

Wait, Sir, let me find
one more student!

Mus! Excuse me.

Muslimah! -This is my first day
as a teacher, Sir.

I have to have students!
-Harun! That's Harun!

Harun! Harun!

Harun!
-A very special boy rescued us...

...and brought a happy smile
on Miss Muslimah's face.

That smile would alternate
with a lot of things.

That accompanied us
through the years.

The unforgettable years.

FIVE YEARS LATER

Hey, Syahdan, be careful!

This is how a man's body should be,
Kal!

See, like Samson!

From now on, call me Samson!

Don't tell anyone. If you want
to have a bulging chest like mine...

...this is the secret.
-What's that, Rem

Samson!
-Okay, what's that, Samson?

Take off your shirt! I'll make you
a man ladies will pine for!

Hey, this is a deadly secret!
Quick, take off your shirt!

Ouch, it hurts, Rek!
Enough, Rek! You're crazy!

Not yet! Hold it a little more.

You've got your turn!

Hey! We're supposed to be
in class now!

I'll get scolded again!

What's wrong with this watch now?

Bakri, where are the children?

Children, go to class!
-It's my turn!

Kucai, come here!

Kucai, you're the class president...

...help me get your friends
to go to class on time.

You should know, Miss, these coolie
kids are just like devils.

I don't want to manage them anymore.

I quit being class president.
-Hei, Children!

Who wants to hear the story
of Prophet Nuh...

...making the biggest manmade ark ever?

Kucai, being a leader is a noble duty.

Hey, Kucai,
the Qur'an reminds us...

...a leader will be accountable
for his actions in the hereafter.

The non-believers have been warned...

...of the coming flood.

But their arrogance has blinded
their eyes...

...and deafened their ears.

And eventually...

...they perished among the waves!

So if you don't pray often,
you should at least know how to swim!

Your muscles are useless
if you can't swim!

Do the cleansing ritual right,
in the right order.

Allah is Great.
-Allah is Great.

Allah is Great.

Allah is Great.

The Five State Principles are:

1. The belief in one and only God.

2. The just and civilized humanity.

3. The unity of Indonesia.

4. Democracy guided by the inner
wisdom in the unanimity...

...arising out of deliberations
among representatives.

5. Social justice for all people
of Indonesia.

We need leaders who do
more than just mobilize people.

Hey, its Dad. Dad's back.

Hey, did you wet your pants?

I'm going to school now, Dad.

MUHAMMADIYAH ELEMENTARY, GANTONG

Mus, why don't you take the children
to study outdoors?

Let's clean it together, Sir.

Go. Bakri can help me later.

Go.

An old man with an old school building.

Oma.

Is it sweet, Miss? -It's sweet.

Syahdan, do you know why fruits
taste differently?

Peace be upon you, Mr. Harfan.
-And you.

Thanks.
-You're welcome. Bye.

The sun is out.
Come get me.

Ikal, where are you?

Wow.

A rainbow is the result
of the sun ray...

...that falls onto rain drops.

And so we get seven rays...

...red, orange, yellow, green,
blue, violet, purple.

Let's go home, Rainbow Troops!
-Rainbow Troops?

Yes, Miss!

Hi, Mrs. Hamidah.
-How's my dress, Mus?

You said it'd be done this Saturday.

Sorry, a little bit more.
I need to do the buttons.

I'm concerned about you, Fan.

You have struggled to keep
this school running for 5 years now.

I can only help a bit.

You have helped more than that, Zul.

Don't worry. Bakri, Muslimah and I
can still do it...

...with the 10 god-sent students.

But they're already in grade 5 now.
Next year, they'll go to grade 6.

There's no other class
after theirs.

The 3 of you are the only teachers.

I just can't see how you keep
this school afloat, Harfan.

The cost. Salaries.

Zul, this school is where
religious...

...and moral lessons are not merely
there to complete the curriculum.

The students' intelligence here
is not just measured by grades...

...or numbers,
but also by their hearts, Zul.

Look at yourself, Zul.
Why do you care so much?

When people gain comfort...

... power, money,
they forget all else!

They'd do anything to get
more power and more wealth.

They'd dig up all the country's
wealth for their own families.

But not you, Zul.

Because you're the product of...

...a similar school in Jogja.

So we can't shut the school down.

Alright, Fan.
I'll help however I can.

I'll send Widi tomorrow to bring
rice for you.

I hope it's enough for 2 months.

Thank you, Zul. Thank God.

Peace be upon you.
-Peace be upon you too.

Did you see the crocodile again?

What do you know about crocodiles,
Tang?

Crocodiles move very fast
in short distances.

Even outside water.

They have strong jaws,
powerful bites.

Even stronger than the White Shark!

How did you know so much, Tang?

I read it in the newspapers.

Have you drawn it and taken notes?

Alright, study this Belitung map well.

Peace be upon you, children.
-Peace be upon you, Mr. Bakri.

Peace be upon you, Children.
-And you, Miss.

Good morning, Children.
In this math class today...

...I will teach you how to use
the calculator.

Each one of you will get
one calculator.

Flo, please help me distribute
these calculators to your classmates.

This is our math class.
Get your palm leaf ribs out.

Yours are nicer. Let's swap!

That's enough, A Kiong.

Get back to your seat.

I will read a math problem.

12 + 4 x ... 5 equals...
Go on, count it.

- 80!

Very good, Coast boy. Correct!

Harun, so you have 3 kittens
with 3 color patterns...

...all born on the 3rd? -Yes.

1, 2, 3. -You're good
at math now, Harun.

Your big ears will grow as big
as an elephant's, Har!

What's playing on your radio, Har?

What's playing, boy? There's plenty
of powerful music here, boy!

Now, listen to this.
This is called jazz, Kal.

Smart people's music.

You don't get it.

Peace be upon you, Muslimah.
-And you.

How are you, Mr. Mahmud?

I'm fine.
It's you I'm concerned about.

Why did you turn down the job offer
from PN Elementary, Mus?

What do you expect from
that collapsing school?

Kids who have no future?

The offer is still available.

I can talk to... -Excuse me,
my diligent students are waiting.

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you.
-Merauke? -Here.

Dili? -Here.

Kendari? -Here.

Lenggang, where is it, Harun?

That's right. Harun is clever!

I'm going home, Uncle.
Peace be upon you.

And you.

There's nothing we can do
about it, Mus.

The South Sumatera
School Supervisor's letter...

...clearly states our kids must
take next week general exam...

...at the PN Elementary.

Mus, you shouldn't feel obliged
just because...

...your Dad is in that photo
with me.

Your salary and Bakri's
have been delayed 2 months.

You're still young
and beautiful, Mus.

Why did you reject
that boy's proposal...

...the son of, what's his name?
Haji Mahdun.

You would've been a merchant's wife
in Java by now.

And leave you here with Bakri?

I never dreamed to be
a merchant's wife, Sir.

My dream was to be a teacher.

You're the one who had faith in
my ability as a teacher.

For the past 5 years we've handled
various problems together.

We survive, don't we?

And I can still earn money
by being a dressmaker.

Praise God.

Why, Miss? Usually we have
our exams here.

We have shabby clothes and sandals.
What will the PN kids say?

Why are they wearing sandals
to an exam?

Don't open the exam booklet yet.

Watch your kids, Sir.

Time's up.

Sir, I forgot to separate
Harun's exam paper.

Come here. -What is it?

He drew a cat on his exam paper.

I don't like the way they look down
on Harun.

Don't think about it too much.

Now, prepare the kids' report cards
then let them...

...go on their school break.
You need a break too, don't you?

When, Miss? -Soon we'll have
our school break, son.

Are you going to give Harun
a special report card again, Mus?

Yes, Sir.

Hurry up.

Buy my cookies, Ma'am,
try them.

Syahdan, I'm all sold out.

My wife wants to make the gangan
soup but prefers to use ilak fish.

The Asmat tribe lives deep
in the Irian jungle.

They're tough river explorers
and they're also fine dancers.

Look.

Do you have many magazines like this?

I have plenty.

You can have this one.

What are you doing here?
Go away!

Thanks.

Do you know what number that is?
-313.

Correct.
The 313 Islam troops defeated.. .

...thousands of well-armed
Quraisy soldiers!

Children, power is formed by faith...

...not by the number of troops!

So remember, my children.

Hold on to your beliefs.

You must be diligent...

...and have a strong will
to realize your dreams.

You should be courageous...

...and not give up
when facing any challenge.

And remember.

Live to give as much as you can...

...not take as much as you can.

That'll be it for today.

Uncle, can we talm.
-Whose turn is it to buy chalk?

We're out of it.

Damn, we have to go so far
to Manggar just to buy chalk.

It's only far if you meet
crocodiles on the way, Kal.

If I keep doing this, my hair can
turn white like Mr. Harfan's.

It doesn't turn white, Kal.
Our hair is actually white.

All this time, it's coated
with a black substance.

It gradually wears out.

And the hair goes back to white.

I've been offered a teaching job
at Bangka Public Elementary.

You have the heart
to abandon Muhammadiyah?

Bakri, our job is indeed hard.

We only have a few students.

But it is our duty to provide
education for these needy children!

People have stopped bringing
their children here, Mus!

They prefer to let their kids
become coolies...

...to help with their family income.

But this is the only Islamic school
in Belitong.

Have you ever thought why that is?

Because nobody cares, Mus.

For the past 5 years, this school
couldn't open new classes.

Why is that, Mus?
There were no new students.

Beside its name, Muhammadiyah,
what else can this school brag about?

What has the school achieved?

Bakri, Mus can't possibly teach all
by herself.

The kids'll be in the 6 grade soon.

At least stay and guide them...

...until they pass the exam.

Stay a little bit.

The offer from Bangka Elementary
can't wait, Sir.

Muslimah, don't be angry.

Be patient.

I'm not angry, Sir.

I think there's truth
in what Bakri said.

Nobody cares about
our school anymore, Sir.

Nobody believes
that even poor children...

...have the right to learn.
-That's right.

What's important is
we don't give up hope.

Our job is to convince the children
they must dare to dream.

Yes, Sir.

We both have to work harder, Sir.

To convince everyone that
this school still runs...

...and deserves to exist.

We have to work harder, Sir.

Bye. -Yes, pick up the fertilizer
tomorrow. -Alright.

Wait there. -Alright.

Can't go lower.
That's the best price.

That's the best price.
Go to the corner store.

They sell it for 250.
This is already...

I'm from the Muhammadiyah school
at Gantong, picking up the chalk.

A Ling! Blackboard chalk!
Muhammadiyah Elementary!

No. If you take it,
I'll wrap it now.

Tell Miss Muslimah, the chalk tab
should be paid by next month.

If you don't want it, fine.
-Give me a cheaper price.

That's cheap.
Go check the other store.

No, that's already cheap.

Don't forget to pay the tab!

I've just seen the prettiest
fingernails in the world!

I didn't know you've traveled
the world.

I DON'T NEED TO TRAVEL THE WORLD

This is a deadly secret, Kiong,
come here for a minute.

Boy, beside western music,
Malay music is also great.

Don't bother
he's been nail-intoxicated.

I've seen something more wonderful
than your music, Har.

What? Where?

The loveliest nails in
that rotten Ray of Hope store.

Have you lost your mind, Kal?
-Ah, you're in love, boy!

Love doesn't need much thinking.

There's only beauty,
blossoming flowers.

Let's assemble...

...lotus oh lotus.

An adolescent girl's
hair decoration.

How much is this? -Muslimah?
What are you shopping for?

I'm just getting a few buttons.

You're buying a lot of stuff,
Miss Fatima.

PN Elementary's drum band's uniform.
Is it coming soon, right?

The Independence Day's carnival
contest. We've to make new uniforms.

The defending champion
must always appear best, Mus.

See you, peace be upon you.
-You too.

Bye, Muslimah.

Kids, Mr. Harfan and I have decided.

We're competing
in this year's carnival!

Since your friend Mahar always gets
the best grades in Arts...

... I'd like to propose him
to be the team leader...

...to decide what art performance
we're putting on for the carnival.

Will you do it, Mahar?

Does everyone agree?
-Agree!

Mahar, I just have to remind you.

We don't have any budget.
-Take it easy, Sir.

Leave it to me and nature.

Let me take on the task of buying
chalk at Manggar from now on, Miss.

Harun, here's some chalk
you can play with at home.

That's not cool, Kal.
-Tang, please.

I'll pedal round trip,
Gantong-Manggar-Gantong.

Har, go with Ikal. You seem
to understand his issues more.

Relax, boy. I need to get away too
to find carnival ideas. Hop on.

Off we go to Manggar.
-Speed it up, boy.

A glass of water, please.
-One moment.

Relax. Poems by people in love
are always powerful.

Don't be ashamed.

Bring it over to Cikung's
coffee house, quick!

Our class was flooded, Sir.
Our chalk is all wet.

A Ling! Chalk!
Muhammadiyah Elementary!

I'll wrap it nicely for you.

You're really smitten, boy.

Boy, don't hug me. I'm ticklish,
we could fall!

Is it true, A Kiong?
A Ling is your cousin?

Help me, Kiong.
I want to meet her.

Please, I'm going nuts!

Actually, this Sunday,
they're all coming to my house.

A family function. -A Ling is coming?
She's coming to Gantong?

I told you, gangan soup
is best cooked with ilak fish.

So why did you buy round fish?

Round fish is all that was left
at the market. They're all the same.

You're the only one who can tell
the difference anyway.

Oma.

Men. You can't rely on them
to get fish.

Five more minutes, five minutes.

Don't be too long.
A Ling's dad is really vicious.

You don't like my poems?
-They're good.

I've copied them in my diary.

You keep the originals, okay?

I think Miss Muslimah...

...appointed the wrong guy.

Has he gone mad?
-He's possessed.

Does anyone know where Mahar went?

If he's not on that tree out front,
maybe he's perched somewhere else.

He's become an owl, Miss.

I know what we're going to showcase
at the carnival, Miss.

Take off your shirt.

Take off your shirt.

Take off your shirt.

What's all this?
We all look deranged.

And here's the contestant
from Batupenyu Elementary...

...Boy Scout March!

Let's give them a big hand!

Decorated bicycles
from Jangkarasam Elementary!

Let's wait here.
-And here's our defending champion...

...PN Timah's Elementary drum band.

Where are you going now, Mahar?
-Preparing the secret weapon, Miss.

Miss, I want to see the drum band.
-Take care.

Salute!

Wear this, Rek, and you'll rock.

This year's new contestant...

... Muhammadiyah Elementary
from Gantong!

Let's give a round of applause...

...for Muhammadiyah Elementary
from Gantong!

...for Muhammadiyah Elementary
from Gantong!

You guys are great,
winning that carnival.

Do a new dance next year,
win it again.

Muslimah, I'm glad to see those
PN people speechless yesterday!

Hopefully next year my child can be
accepted at your school, Mus.

Hopefully, Ma'am.
-My daughter's a good dancer.

If possible, Mus, beat PN school
at the Scholastic Tournament.

See you later.
Peace be upon you, Miss Muslimah.

Mr. Mahmud. -Mus.

What's that, Miss? -I think
the School Supervisor sent it.

Thanks, Lintang.

Flo!

Where is that rich girl?
Why did she play in the woods?

Let's search there.

Yes, that girl is strange.

Not strange, just different.

Ever since she got lost
in the woods...

...her father became worried.

That's why, now,
she gets anything she wants.

Including going to school here.

I hope you will accept her
and...

...help us out.

What were you looking for
in the woods?

Why do you want to go to school here?

I like your dance at the carnival.

It was wonderful.
-What's wonderful about it?

That stupid sugar palm fruit gave me
a neck itch that lasted a week.

I'll smack you, Mahar.

There's something very mystical
in that dance.

What do you mean?

ON MYSTICISM.

ANIMAL WORLD.

Mahar, ever heard of
Pirate's Island? -That scary island?

What's there?

We both found a cave in the forest.
The cave of spirits.

The forest is so dense,
the sun ray can't get through.

I once found a giant-sized
prehistoric grave.

A Chinese grave. -No.
-A giant grave?

It may just be.
Many people go there to meditate.

What is it, Mus?
-I'm just a little worried...

...that Flo may change our kids.

Don't be quickly alarmed, Mus.

Just keep giving them guidance.

Uncle? Why are you so pale?

I don't understand it.

Your quiz scores are worse
than before.

Mahar, Flo!
Your scores are the worst.

Do you want to flunk the exam?

Miss, we must buy more chalk.

The shop owner also wants
the tab to be paid.

More chalm.
You haven't paid the last bill.

Miss Muslimah said next week
we will pay it all.

Lani! Chalk!
Muhammadiyah Elementary! -Lani?

Where's A Ling? Is she sick?

A Ling moved to Jakarta
to help out her uncle. Here.

A Ling left you something.

You know your uncle, Mus.

He never wants to go to the clinic
for a checkup.

Maybe he has to cut down
on coffee, Auntie.

I told him that too many times
already.

He often just takes an APC pill
when he has a cough.

There's only one medicine
in Belitong, APC.

As if he's a doctor.

He just needs rest, Mus.

How are you anyway?
Have you found a good man yet?

Where's Mr. Ajo, Dad?

Yang, look after the little ones.
I'm going with Dad to sea.

Get inside.

What are you up to, Lintang?
This is a school night.

Flo and I have agreed,
we must go to Pirate's Island.

We must see Tuk Bayan Tula.
-That's crazy! I'm not coming!

There's no other way.

Only Tuk Bayan Tula
can help us pass the exam.

He's Belitong's
most powerful shaman.

I'm sure he can make Harun smart.
Don't you want to pass the exam?

Mahar, don't mix up your fantasies
with lies.

I'm not lying.
-Pirate's Island is empty.

How do you know Tuk Bayan Tula
is there?

As far as I'm concerned,
nobody knows where he is.

I got signs and proof
that he's there.

Look, he gave directions to me.

Don't you listen
to Tuesday religious lessons?

This is sinful!

It's up to you. I'm not coming.
Anyone else?

You'll regret it, Sahara!

Come along, boy.

Maybe Tuk Bayan Tula can solve
your problem.

You and A Ling.

Mahar,
don't take Brother Sharif with us.

Tuk Bayan Tula! Let us in!

Let's just go home. Maybe
he's not accepting guests today.

Maybe he's having dinner or maybe
he's still hungry?

Let's go, Har.

Tuk Bayan Tula! Let us in!

If he reads Tuk Bayan Tula's mantra
before we do, I'll punch him.

Calm down.
Bayan Tula's instruction is clear.

We're supposed to read his powerful
mantra together this morning.

Anybody violating his instruction
will be turned into a toad!

We did it, boy.

To be smart and successful,
study and work hard!

I'll strangle you, Mahar.
-Borek, stop it.

Let it go. That message is right.

We went to a shaman, that's dumb.

What's that, Tang?

This is the Eiffel tower, Kal.

It's located in Paris,
capital of France.

Paris is a city full of smart
and great people, Kal.

Experts and artists all live there.

It's the loveliest city in the world.

Many people dream of going there.

A Ling gave this box to me. Why?

Forgive me, boy.

Why are you in deep silence,
my confused brother?

Why stop, boy?

Your voice is more powerful
than Tuk Bayan Tula's spells.

Let's assemble, lotus oh lotus.

An adolescent girl's hair decoration.

What a lovely face,
don't spoil her.

flatter her only for a bit.

Why are you in deep silence,
my confused brother?

Why are you in deep silence,
my confused brother?

Don't believe in love.
-A Ling?

Don't believe in love.

This is no time to be so deep
in silence.

This is no time to be so deep
in silence.

Let's pick some flowers together,
Oh brother.

Let's pick some flowers together,
Oh brother.

Let's assemble, lotus oh lotus.

An adolescent girl's hair decoration.

After five years of school,
that's the only valuable we have?

If it is, Miss Mus and Mr. Harfan
must be really disappointed.

Remember, Children...

...don't ever give up.

Live to give as much as you can...

...not take as much as you can.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir, let's go home.

Sir?

Uncle?

Uncle!

I was really shocked, Mus.

I'm worried about you.

How could you run that school
all by yourself now?

Separate them, 10 each. One, two.
-I don't get it. -Try it first.

Kal, even though Mr. Harfan
is gone...

...I'm sure he doesn't want
his passing to make you so gloomy.

Let's go watch the movie tonight,
alright?

NO ENTRANCE FOR THOSE
WITHOUT CLEARANCE.

Where are you going?
-What's left, Tang?

Miss Muslimah isn't here.
Neither are our friends.

What kind of a school doesn't have
any teacher or student?

Come with me.

Kal, my father has 4 children.
3 girls.

I'm the only boy, the eldest.
He should've made me a fisherman.

So we can get more fish.
But he sent me here instead.

He wants me to pursue my dreams, Kal.

We all must have aspirations.

And our journey begins
at this school.

We must keep going to school.

Mahar, lazy bones.
Come on, come to school.

That school has been closed.

The Rainbow Troops must keep
going to school.

Now? -Yes.

I'll get my radio.

I'm sorry to come here so suddenly.

Your aunt told me you haven't taught
at the school for 5 days.

Yes, Sir.

I'm still in mourning, Sir.

I also feel...
-Mus, I understand how you feel.

We come from Him
and we return to Him.

Understand? Let it go.

The last time I spoke to your uncle,
I asked him.

Fan, shouldn't we just close
the Muhammadiyah school?

You know what Mr. Harfan told me?

He said, Zul, the school
must never be closed!

Because this is the only school
that doesn't teach material pursuit.

It's about values. Intelligence
is not measured by grades.

But by this.

By the heart.

You and Mr. Harfan have proven it.

Look at your remarkable students.

They're extraordinary.

Soekarno was imprisoned
at Sukamiskin penitentiary...

...on December 29, 1929...

...because he founded
the Indonesia National Party...

...aspiring for Indonesia's
independence.

His cell was very small,
with thick, somber...

...high, dark walls and iron bars.

It was worse than
this leaky classroom of ours.

But it was there he did his time
and he studied every day.

He read all the time.

He was one of the most intelligent
persons this nation ever had.

It's really easy to remember places
and dates.

We just find interesting things
behind each event.

Just like Miss Mus and Mr. Harfan
often did.

December 29, 1929.

I can remember that!

Sukamiskin Penitentiary.
It's poor (miskin) like our school.

But we're still happy (suka).
Sukamiskin!

Peace be upon you, Mr. Mahmud!
-And you, Miss Muslimah.

You're going out to sea today, Dad?

Alone?

I know the wind is good today, Dad.

Just go to sleep so
you won't wake up late tomorrow.

I'm going now, okay?

Hurry up, Ikal will be late.
-Wait a moment.

I went through the trouble of
soaking this pandan leaf all night.

Sit here.

Lintang will come. Relax.

Keep yourself strong, Kal.

You can win, alright?

Mr. Zul is waiting at the school
for him. He'll bring him here.

Relax. Let's hope we win, okay?

Incorrect!
Team C loses 100 points.

Other teams may answer.

Time is up.
The right answer is 10.05.

Wait a minute.

My math calculations are the same as
that boy's.

What do you mean?
-I think that boy was right.

You're doubting us?

I never even saw that boy doing
the math.

I'm not doubting you,
respectable judges.

But that boy is right.

Why don't we do the math together?
-Not a chance!

What for? I've been suspicious
that boy knew the answer before.

Hold on a second. Are you implying
that the boy cheated?

How? By stealing
the questions beforehand?

The Muhammadiyah Elementary
is an honorable school.

They wouldn't cheat.

I can explain the answer.

Let me read the question again.
-You don't have to.

I still remember it.

Pardon us, we've made a mistake.

That boy's answer is right.

So the winner is...

...Team C from the Muhammadiyah
Elementary in Gantong!

Bro, Dad hasn't returned.

After that historic day...

...Lintang never came to school
again.

LINTANG.
SCHOLASTIC TOURNAMENT CHAMPION

for days we waited for my clever
and admirable friend.

But there was no news.

You dot this one, give a dash.

Dot this other one,
this one give a small circle.

On the fifth day, as Miss Muslimah
and we were planning...

...to see him at Tanjong Kelumpang...

...a man came with a letter
from Lintang.

Lintang's letter was brief.

Miss Teacher, my father has died.

I will come to school to say goodbye
to you and my friends.

Best regards, Lintang.

We realized, Lintang had no chance
of going to school anymore.

The eldest son of a poor family
from the coast...

...with no mother
and now no father...

...he has to support his family.

Such a big burden for a boy
that young.

We had to let a natural genius go.
Miss Muslimah's first student.

The one who wanted this school
to keep existing...

...who always came the earliest.

And he was the first one among us
to leave this school.

Lintang!

Belitong has changed.

In the late 80's, the price of tin
plummeted in the market.

PN Timah was paralyzed overnight.

The walls that used to diminish
opportunities and hope...

...are now gone.

But my childhood has done wonders
to my self-esteem to this day.

It gave me the courage to dream,
to have aspirations.

I've left Belitong a long time
to pursue those dreams.

Today, I have returned.

Ikal?

How are you, Lintang?

Do you still have that box
from A Ling? -Yes.

There's something I want to
show you, Kal.

What's that? -The water of the river
who flows to the sea bring...

That's my daughter.

Lintang, my friend,
his spirit never dies.

The spirit he infected me with...

...the same spirit he infuses
to his child.

Are you here to attend
Mahar's novel launching?

That owl became an artist after all.

I thought he was going to replace
Tuk Bayan Tula as a shaman.

Actually, I'm here to thank
all of you.

Especially you.

I'm going to Sorbonne.
France, Tang.

I got a scholarship.
-Sorbonne? Paris?

Never Give Up, My Friend.
-Pursue your rainbow...

...until the end of the earth,
Child...

...like Uncle Ikal did.
Never give up.
