- [Narrator] Indonesia experienced

a vacuum of power.

President Sukarno declared the

independence of Indonesia on August 17th, 1945.

Based on the Vienna Convention in 1942,

the Allies, especially the Dutch,

claimed Indonesia to be part of the Netherlands'

East Indies.

The Netherlands was about to rule Indonesia once again.

(suspenseful music)

But, Indonesia had changed.

Former HIHO and PITA armies

from the Japanese occupation

raised a sense of nationalism and patriotism.

Indonesia chose to fight and defend its independence.

Local people who used to be members of

the Japanese paramilitary, the distorted Kipas Hitam

Organization were another threat to the nation's struggle.

The arrival of the Dutch in the AFNEI and NICA

in Soerabaja triggered the conflict of peace.

Tens of thousands of republican militia and armies

faced thousands of fully armed allied forces.

This incident is known as The Battle of November 10th.

Or, The Battle of Soerabaja.

(speaking foreign language)

(crowd cheering)

(upbeat music)

That day, everybody was happy.

(people chattering)

Colonialism in this country was over.

The people shared the joy.

Celebrations were going on.

But, that happiness didn't last long.

The Allies and the Dutch had returned to Soerabaja.

Prices were rising.

There was chaos everywhere.

I just wanted to eat and sleep well.

- [Musa] That's all, nothing else.

- Mr. Yoshimura.

Good morning, sir.

(speaking foreign language)

Yeah yeah, plenty of dirty shoes this morning.

(bright music)

His name is Captain Yoshimura.

He's a Japanese military officer.

(speaking foreign language)

- Good morning, Musa.

(speaking foreign language)

- I'm not afraid.

My mother was a Fujinkai.

My mother said my father died in a battle against the Dutch.

Mr. Yoshimura, I regard him as my father.

But, he is going to leave soon.

He is happy the war has ended.

All he wants to do is go back home.

To see Mount Fujiyama.

To see sakura blossoms fall.

And to be with his daughter, Kioko,

and his wife again.

I am sad, but,

I have to look after my mother.

(engine running)

- Good morning, please.

- Good morning, thank you.

- Thank you for coming.

- Mr. Shibata, as we know the situation here,

I was ordered by Admiral Patterson

from HMS Cumberlines that I have to proceed to Soerabaja

in order to inspect the harbor works

and all naval installations at Tandi Purak.

(speaking foreign language)

- Thank you, sir.

'Til we meet again.

- [Announcer] After the Dai Nippon surrendered

to the Allies on August sixth, 1945,

the proclamation by Mr. Sukarno

and Mr. Hata on August 17, 1945,

hopefully Indonesia has gained its sovereignty.

And the Youths of Soerabaja have managed to seize weapons,

and disarm the Japanese army.

- Mr. Yoshimura.

Mr. Yoshimura, sir. (suspenseful music)

(people yelling)

Mr. Yoshimura, sir.

Mr. Yoshimura.

(gun firing)

Mr. Yoshimura.

(growling)

(gasping)

(speaking foreign language)

- Mr. Yoshimura.

- Musa.

- Yes sir?

Mr. Yoshimura.

Mr. Yoshimura, sir.

(crying)

Mr. Yoshimura.

(speaking foreign language)

- Why are you home so late?

- Forgive me for being so late, mother.

There were plenty of dirty shoes.

I had to clean them all.

(bright music)

- What's wrong, Musa?

- Mister.

- Mister?

What do you mean?

- Mr. Yoshimura.

He was killed by Kinil.

(speaking foreign language)

- He was a very good man.

Why was his life so short?

I pray that he will be accepted at God's side.

- Amen.

(suspenseful music)

Huh?

(bright music)

Yumna?

- Come on, follow me.

- This is my spot.

- Hey, I was here first.

You go find another spot.

- But, this is my usual spot.

- [Yumna] As a matter of fact, I was here first.

- This is my spot.

- Now, don't bother me, it's mine.

(growling)

Hey, wait.

- You again?

What do you want?

- I was wrong.

I'm sorry.

Here, I'm Yumna.

- [Musa] Musa.

- If only there was no war.

- All I want is to eat well and sleep well.

My mother is ill back at home.

Ever since the Fujinkai was dismissed,

we only live in a small shack.

Rice has gotten expensive.

As has the price of clothes.

It seems like money has lost its value.

I earn extra money as a messenger so we can both eat.

Mr. Yoshimura used to give me

extra money for polishing his shoes

and delivering letters.

Now, he is no longer here.

- I was raised by my parents in a Dutch environment.

They worked as house staff in Mr. Phonerkel's house.

Marie was master's beautiful daughter.

We were childhood friends.

We used to run around in a garden,

and play with water.

Our fathers always reminded us to behave.

I often sneaked and peeped

when Marie was having private lessons

with her Dutch teacher.

- [Radio Announcer] The power of the Dai Nippon force

is far superior to the power of the

American, English, and Dutch forces in Asia.

One by one, their strong fortresses are taken down

by the Dai Nippon army. (suspenseful music)

- A couple of months after the announcement on the radio,

Mr. Phonerkel gathered all the house staff and guards.

- Mary, come here.

(guns firing)

(yelling)

(speaking foreign language)

- Shh.

(troops chattering)

(wailing)

- My mother was turned into a

(speaking in foreign language)

(singing in foreign language)

- Bye.

(speaking in foreign language)

- Huijer has arrived.

(crowd yelling)

(guns firing)

The situation of the city is at stake.

The Youths' hatred toward the Japanese

and the foreigners could cause chaos everywhere.

(guns firing)

The courage of the Youths to take over

the important places is really

an incredible struggle and sacrifice.

(guns firing)

(yelling)

(bomb exploding)

(bright music)

But the spoils of the weapons

must be maintained and secured.

- And then, what's next, sir?

- Got to be fast and cautious.

They're everywhere.

Their movement is very fast.

(people chattering)

Send my message immediately to Mr. Moestopo.

It is impossible for us to manage

the tanks and the weapons.

- The roads to Kaliasin and other places

are strictly guarded.

The Kempe Ti and KNIL search

every young republican who passes by.

It's almost impossible to send a messenger.

- Musa.

I trust this letter in your hands, Musa.

Mr. Moestopo awaits.

- But sir.

- I will guard him, sir.

- He is Danu.

He usually does this job.

But considering the situation right now,

you will have to do it.

- I'm afraid that I might fail, sir.

I'm just an ordinary messenger.

I can't.

- Mr. Yoshimura trusted you.

And I trust you.

For the sake of peace,

like what Mr. Yoshimura wanted.

- They only search grown-ups.

And you, you're just a child.

They'll let you pass.

I'll keep an eye on you from a distance.

(people chattering)

(speaking in foreign language)

- Musa, Musa.

(speaking in foreign language)

(growling)

- The letter?

- What?

- The letter for Mr. Moestopo.

It's gone.

- Musa.

Sit down, I'm exhausted.

- But, the letter.

- Here, drink?

(bright music)

- I failed.

What am I supposed to say to Mr. Doughman, huh?

Mr. Doughman trusted everything to me.

- You don't know what's in the letter?

- That's why.

The letter is sealed,

and it has to be Mr. Moestopo who opens it.

I do not dare go back.

I'm afraid.

I'm ashamed.

- We are children of war.

We don't give up easily.

However bad the situation is.

You know, Musa,

sometimes in life, we go through failure

so we can succeed.

Sometimes you fall.

But then we rise again.

We lose something just to appreciate what we had.

And we even experience fear

before we realize our own courage.

All of this just make you see,

what you believe as faith.

Is this what you're looking for?

(laughing)

- Yumna, give it back.

Yumna.

- A whiz kid, gives in just like that?

- Yumna.

Yumna. - Nu uh.

If you want it,

come and get it. - Give it back.

- Yumna.

Yumna.

Yumna. (laughing)

Give it back.

Serves you right.

That's what you get for being a rascal.

- Musa.

Help me out.

(bright music)

(yelling)

(laughing)

- How did that letter end up with you?

- Well, I'm a messenger, too.

Danu.

- Danu?

So it was Danu who told you to?

Huh, I see.

Then, how do you know Danu?

- [Yumna] The ambush in Mr. Phonerkel's house,

the young PITA who saved me was Danu.

He took me to the village where we live now.

I was entrusted to an old woman

who was living on her own in that village.

- So, grandmother Terha isn't your?

- Yes, grandmother Terha

isn't my biological grandmother.

But I love her so much.

Danu often came by,

and taught me a few things.

(grunting)

I'm going to clean myself up first

in the river down there.

You go there, and hey,

no peeping, okay?

- Yeah, I'll pack my things first.

(humming)

(gasping)

- Musa, you're peeping. - No no no no.

I'm not peeping. - I knew it.

- Well, maybe a little. - I told you to go that way.

Why did you come here?

Oh, you rascal.

You see what you get for this.

(bright music)

(people chattering)

- Implement immediately.

Bring all the weapons we have.

- BKR is on the move,

and have successfully managed

to secure the weapons they seized from the war.

Mr. Moestopo is signing the letter

for the weapons handover from General Shigayo Hawabi.

And police commissioner Muhammad Kassim

has ordered his officers to guard

important places controlled by the Youth and the people.

Including Hotel Yamato.

(humming)

- Hey Musa.

Your name is Musa, right?

- Yes, uncle.

(laughing)

- Uh oh, little kid calls you uncle.

- Musa, don't call me uncle.

Call me Chuck Sole.

I'm embarrassed in front of Mira.

Musa, please clean my shoes.

I'll give you some money.

- Yes, uncle.

Chuck.

(grunting)

- Here, Chuck.

- Hey, what do you think you're doing?

You're wrecking it.

Hey Musa, you try.

- Huh, me, really?

- Ah, come here, I'll teach you how.

Here, aim for that bottle from here.

Shoot. (gun firing)

(yelling) (laughing)

- The Youth movement in Soerabaja

is supported by the Youth organizations.

The PRI has developed into several camps.

Soemarsono will be responsible to lead.

Then there's the women's struggle for the

republic of Indonesia. (people chanting)

And the Labor Organization.

- Mr. Mohammad Kassim has mobilized all his men.

- Yes, but I've heard that Tomo and other men

have set up another Youth organization.

BPRI, which has separated from PRI.

They also set up a radio station.

- Oh, really?

- They named it Radio

(speaking in foreign language)

- The people who are starving and humiliated

by the colonialists will run this revolution.

We are the extremists.

We struggle with the spirit of revolution.

Together, with the people of Indonesia

who were oppressed by colonialism

would rather see Indonesia soaked in blood

and sink to the bottom of the ocean

than to be occupied once again.

God will protect us.

Freedom.

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar.

- Musa, bring these letters

to the BKR command and the militia headquarters.

Each is coordinating an assignment

preparing to face the landing of the Allies.

Apart from you, several other messengers have been sent.

So, are you ready, Musa?

- Inshallah, sir.

I will do my best.

For Indonesia, sir.

Sir?

- Yes, Musa?

- What's this?

- Have you seen that before?

Sit down, Musa.

(suspenseful music)

The Kipas Hitam is an organization

established by Hitoshi Shimizu

during the Japanese occupation under the Shen Denbu.

(yelling)

After Shimizu was held captive by the Dutch,

the Kipas Hitam became disoriented.

(speaking in foreign language)

(chanting)

- Be careful, Musa.

- Yes, sir.

I understand.

I'll be careful.

(speaking in foreign language)

(bright music)

- Is Yumna an agent?

Who is she siding with?

Why did she join the organization?

Yumna is a traitor to this nation?

Why would she be a traitor?

Or, is she approaching me just 'cause I'm a messenger?

That time she took my letter.

Yumna.

I have to be careful.

I better stay away from her now.

- Hey Musa.

My goods were sold out today, Musa.

But these, I've purposely kept.

One for me, and one for you.

Here.

- I'm not hungry.

(birds chirping)

- Musa, what is it?

Are you mad at me?

Why?

- No.

I just want to be alone.

- Oh, okay then.

I'll go home.

(birds chirping)

- This is getting too complicated.

After this, I'll quit being a courier,

and look for other jobs.

I'll live peacefully taking care of my mother.

I will look for other jobs.

(guns firing)

(people yelling)

Mother.

(suspenseful music)

Mother.

Mother.

Help.

Help.

- Musa, my dear son.

Leave it.

- Mother, no, mother.

Mother.

- Musa, listen to me.

I love you so much, Musa.

Look at me.

(crying)

Be strong, clever, and smart in here.

In your heart, there is no glory and warmth

to not hold a grudge.

Do not pick sides.

Listen to your conscience.

I love you, Musa.

(intense music)

- No, no.

Mother.

Yumna?

Yumna.

Yumna.

Yumna.

(sniffing)

(gagging)

- What is this smell?

- Ah, finally you're awake.

- Ew, Musa, what is that?

Musa.

- Kalapani leaf.

You passed out earlier.

- I passed out?

- Here, drink this.

(somber music)

Yumna?

(speaking in foreign language)

- Our house is burned down.

I didn't have the time to save her.

(thunder rumbling)

- Come here.

Lie down.

Today was a very difficult day.

Sir.

(somber music)

- [Radio Announcer] Civilian brothers,

all over Indonesia, all the people of Soerabaja,

after the Japanese, the Dutch have

returned to our country.

They've come to colonize our free land again.

Don't be weak.

Don't disband.

- I guess there's gonna be a war again.

- Seems like it.

There will be victims.

The Allies will also come soon.

I don't know what's gonna happen to this country,

but I am determined.

If they dare to disturb our independence again,

I will join the army to fight against the invaders.

- Me too.

- Let's do it.

We have to fight them.

- Yumna, I wanna ask you something.

Your tattoo.

Sorry, sorry.

I didn't see it on purpose.

- Oh, that.

Why?

- Kipas Hitam.

- Just eat first.

- If you don't wanna answer. - Just eat.

- Ow, okay, okay, fine.

(engine rumbling) - People of Soerabaja,

stay united, prepare for the arrival of the English.

The English, NICA.

They shall not land, they shall not land.

People of Soerabaja, be free or die.

- They Kipas hate them.

As you know, Musa, I hold a grudge toward the Japanese,

who've killed my father,

and turned my mother into a Jugun Ianfu.

I was reckless and entered a Japanese officer's house

to find out where the Jugun Ianfus were sent.

But I got caught.

They took me to a darkened room.

My eyes were covered.

I was interrogated and tortured.

I tried my best to endure,

until I finally passed out.

I don't know, maybe they thought I was dead.

(screaming)

And after that, I don't know what else happened.

When I was conscious again,

I was in bed wearing the Kipas Hitam's outfit.

I felt stinging on my back.

They had tattooed the symbol that you saw on me.

(whimpering)

There, I was trained,

and indoctrinated about their mission.

For a while, I forgot about my own purpose,

and I became obsessed with their organization.

Later, the Kipas Hitam fell apart.

After Mr. Hitoshi Shimizu was gone,

the orientation of the movement became unclear.

And they went off track.

- [Musa] From what I've heard, the Kipas Hitam was

also helping to dupe our inlanders movement.

- [Yumna] Because of that, I decided to quit.

I returned to our village,

and helped grandmother help sell tea wool.

- I'm sorry, Yumna.

I thought you were a.

- A traitor, you mean?

No.

I've got nobody left for me.

(somber music)

And finally, I found out where my mother was.

- Oh really?

Where?

- Her grave is in Zomato.

One of my mother's friends

gave me this Chinese medallion.

- I'm sorry, Yumna.

- You're the only friend I've got.

Apart from Danu.

But it seems like the country's calling.

Today might be our last day together.

- What do you mean?

- I will join the women's front in the south.

Thank you, Musa, for everything.

You take good care of yourself.

Until we meet again.

(birds chirping)

(planes whirring)

- [Musa] That day unfolded just as the radio promised.

The English ended Soerabaja.

Thousands of English armies were closing in.

(speaking in foreign language)

Fully armored panzers and trucks were carrying troops.

Like Yumna, I will also join the warriors.

- Stop.

(intense music)

(gun firing)

(grenade exploding)

Go.

- Danu, the negotiation between General Mallaby

and Mr. Moestopo is failing reaching an agreement.

- Why, Chuck?

- Both of them are stubborn.

The general is wanted, and so is Mr. Moestopo.

He is gruff, brave.

- So, what happened?

- Well, luckily the next day, Mr. Doughman came.

The negotiation continued in Kayon.

- Who was there, Chuck?

- There was Mr. Doughman, Mr. Abdul Ghani,

the mayor, and Mr. Malong Niprojo from Tikehau.

- The result?

- Ah, well, for sure, we want England

to land without the Dutch.

And the Contact Bureau.

- Huh?

Contact Bureau?

- Well.

- Well, what?

- Well, I don't know.

Hey Musa, come here.

My boots are dirty.

- Yeah, the messenger boy's here.

Come, give me a massage.

- Ah.

- [Solehudin] Hey, what's wrong with your ear?

- Must've been an explosion.

- Did you play with firecrackers?

- [Danu] Firecrackers, are you kidding?

- Well, then what was it?

Come here, son.

Do you hear what I'm saying?

- No.

- Why you can answer me?

Bullocks.

- Pranked by a kid.

(laughing)

- Captain John Wright, the situation of this city

is not guaranteed to be secured.

And it's not peaceful enough to be occupied.

You know what we have to do.

- I know, sir.

I will do that.

- Now, you are dismissed.

- Sir.

(cars revving)

(people chattering)

(gun firing)

Who really did start it?

(yelling)

(guns firing)

(intense music)

No, go away, go.

- We are as free, but this is treason.

Inconsistent Dutch, if this is how it is,

the deal is over.

There will be no compromise with the colonizers.

From this day on.

Coordinate all the Youths in the BKR armies

to be alert an ready.

This is war.

(glass shattering) (people yelling)

- Musa, here's the deal between

the leaders and the army commanders.

The translation codes that are used to coordinate

through the radio by Mr. Sutomo

and the Kirong Chong Songs are the key.

They must be at the south TKR command

as soon as possible.

- Yes, sir.

I promise to protect and deliver them.

- Musa, please be careful.

(playful music)

- Sole, I can't insert the bullet

into this weapon.

I think the hole is too small.

- Didn't you ever go to school?

Look, the bullet doesn't match.

There's the box, go and get it.

(laughing)

- Chuck Sole, as a teacher, you've gotta be patient.

- Patient?

Ready?

Fire.

(guns firing)

Okay, reload, once again.

Ready?

(cat calling)

(gun firing)

What is this?

How do we win this war?

Huh?

Mira.

- Huh?

(bright music)

- Musa, I can't believe we meet again.

You got another message?

Be careful, Musa.

- [Nurse] Yumna, need help here.

(bright music)

- The hostages have to be freed soon.

Time is running out.

The bigger plan from the commander in chief is near.

- Immediately, Mr. Wright.

(speaking in foreign language)

With some important information.

- Oh yes?

Who is he?

How do we catch a naughty cat?

(bright music)

- Hey kid, stop right there.

Hey, over there.

(guns firing)

- Got ya.

- [Both] Hi.

- How are you doing?

- Good.

- Are you busy?

Can we talk for a minute?

Yumna.

- Yes?

- Our leader needs you.

- I already quit.

- But. - No.

- Yumna. - No, I'm not going

to change my mind.

- But you're the best agent we have.

Our purpose is to protect Asia, protect Indonesia.

- Our purpose isn't right anymore.

- Oh, come on, Yumna.

- No, Danu, open your eyes.

Be sensible.

This is your country.

Your country, Indonesia.

- But those rotten politicians in that palace,

in those luxurious buildings,

they only care about their own wealth.

The prices are rising, the people are suffering.

The people become the victims.

But they sit peacefully and smoke

the number one cigar bought with the people's money.

- Not all of them.

Many of them do still care about our people.

Resident Soedirman, Mr. Moestopo, Mr. Sutomo, and more.

President Sukarno also keeps trying

so that we can claim our own true freedom.

- I don't want anything bad to happen to you.

You are the only person close to me.

You mean a lot to me.

I love you, Yumna.

Yumna, I. - I love you.

As my brother.

You are the only family I have.

And my brother will always protect me, right?

- Yeah, you are the only sister that I have and I love.

(somber music)

I promise to always protect you.

Do you still see Musa?

- Yes, but not that often now.

But, this afternoon, we accidentally met.

- Oh, at what time?

- Around 12:00.

Danu. - What?

- What is it with Musa, Danu?

You've got to tell me.

- Nothing, it's nothing.

Why, what is it?

- No, no I know it.

There must be something.

Danu, you can't lie to me.

I can see it in your eyes.

I was trained for this.

- No, it's nothing.

What's wrong with you, Yumna?

No, I'm not lying.

- Danu.

- Yumna.

- Musa, Musa.

- I'm sorry, Yumna.

The messenger boy has died.

- Musa.

(crying)

- Take care of yourself, Yumna.

- You're right, sir.

It's just as we feared.

The allied forces who freed prisoners from Kalisoso

have also broken into Huano Kitri Prison.

- There isn't any news yet from Musa.

- Who are your leaders?

You brought the code, so where is it?

- Freedom.

- Excuse me, Mr. Soedirman.

Yumna is outside, and she wants to see you, sir.

- Yumna.

Let her in.

- Yes, sir.

- Please, Yumna, have a seat.

- It's about Musa.

- Okay, Yumna.

Arnowo, whose turn from TKR is it to guard here?

- Solehudin and his group, sir.

- Tell Solehudin to come here.

- Yes, sir.

- Danu?

- Enjoy your last day of life together.

Tomorrow, you will die.

- Sir.

- Go ahead, Yumna.

(cars screeching)

- [Yumna] The Kipas Hitam headquarters has a very

strong defense system.

(suspenseful music)

But there was a crack in here.

We can get inside from here.

And I will set the bomb in here.

Chuck Sole and the rest will

spread through this corridor.

- Danu.

Why are you?

- Musa, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you.

- It's okay.

What matters most is that the letter is still safe.

- The letter?

I was careless.

Musa, loosen my bindings.

- [Soedirman] Musa, be careful.

They are experts in hiding their identity.

The Kipas Hitam, they're also from our people.

- That's it, Musa.

Thanks.

- You're welcome.

- The letter is safe, right?

- It's safe.

- Where are you hiding it?

- I never said anything about hiding it.

- I mean, it's with you, right?

- No no no, it's not with me.

- So where is it?

- I'm not going to.

- This is for my country.

This is for my lord.

Yes, I did serve my country and I pray to God.

Do you know what I got for that?

Bring him water.

Enough.

Release him.

- Sir?

- Alright, son.

Let's make it simple.

You can go home, I can move on.

Everything could be alright and everyone happy.

Do you want this?

- Mm hmm.

- Okay, good.

Let's talk.

What's your name, son?

- Musa.

- Okay, Musa.

You actually remind me of my son.

He was also brave, like you.

But do you want to know something?

He's at peace now.

He was killed in war.

(guns firing)

(yelling)

You know, Musa, I hate war.

And I really hate everything that causes war.

So I want this all to end, soon.

This gun took away my son's life.

I don't want to use it.

But again, I hate everything that makes a war.

Make it easy, Musa.

Please, tell me, where is the code?

Okay.

Say it.

(bomb exploding)

(suspenseful music)

You, stay here.

- Musa?

(yelling)

- Yumna, Musa, just surrender.

(gun firing)

(gun firing)

- Musa.

- Yumna.

- No, don't shoot.

(gun firing)

Yumna, Yumna.

- Yumna?

- Yumna, Yumna.

(yelling)

(gun firing)

(bright music)

- Chuck Sole.

- Yumna, Yumna.

Stay with me.

- Musa.

Thank God you're safe.

- Yes, Yumna, because of you.

You must be strong.

I need you.

Stay with me.

- Musa.

I'm so happy to have known you.

- Yumna.

- Musa, I'm sorry, Musa.

Musa. - No.

- Take this.

Musa, this is my mother's.

Take good care of it for me.

- Yes, Yumna.

I will take care of it for you.

- Yumna.

Yumna.

- Danu.

- Stay away, you traitor.

- Musa, no.

Mind your heart.

- Yumna.

Yumna.

- Yumna, I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

- Danu, please take care of Musa.

(crying)

- Yumna, no, Yumna.

(bombs exploding)

- Danu, go.

You go and save Musa.

(bombs exploding)

(house crashing)

(grunting)

- Easy, Musa.

Put the gun down and I'll just sit here, okay?

I know that I was wrong.

Just sit down, Musa, I'm sorry.

I'll sit down.

I'm sitting, here.

If you wanna shoot me, just do it.

I deserve it.

Come on, shoot.

I have taken the wrong path.

I should have listened to Yumna back then.

But now,

it's already too late.

- No it's not.

Thanks for this.

The sacrifices that Yumna and our friends made

must not be in vain.

Danu.

Thank you.

Help me finish this mission.

- Sir, yes sir.

But first, help me get this motorcycle to start up.

- Yes.

Hang on a moment.

(upbeat rock music)

Freedom.

(people yelling)

(gun firing)

(canons firing)

- [Radio Announcer] While in Jakarta,

some English military leaders hold a meeting

with President Sukarno, Vice President Mohammad Hatta,

and Amir Sjarifuddin to request aid in restoring

the situation in Soerabaja.

- The loss of the fighting cocks

from the republic militia is very embarrassing.

Their fighting spirit was really crazy.

- The commander of AFNEI asked for President Sukarno's

help to end the battle, sir.

- The contact agency and General Mallaby

are going to consolidate.

Be prepared.

- Ready, sir.

(people yelling)

- It's done.

Congratulations, Mr. Soedirman.

We have an agreement.

- Yes, we have an agreement.

Thank you, Mr. Mallaby.

(suspenseful music)

(people yelling)

(gun firing)

(speaking in foreign language)

- The English did it.

(yelling)

(guns firing)

(grenade exploding)

- Help, help.

Anybody.

Help me.

Who are you?

Have we met?

Musa?

Is that you?

(laughing)

Finally.

Here we are.

Come on, Musa, kill me.

I will be proud to be killed by you.

Come on.

Kill me.

- All of our efforts to have a discussion have failed.

To defend our nation's sovereignty,

we have to hold firm and strengthen our will.

To face all the possibilities.

Over and over we have stated our principle.

Better to be destroyed than to be colonized again.

(suspenseful music)

(singing in foreign language)

- As long as the Indonesian patriots

still have the red blood,

you make our white cloths become red and white,

and as long as that exists,

we will never surrender to anyone.

(speaking in foreign language)

Freedom.

(planes whirring)

(guns firing)

(planes crashing)

(yelling)

(grenade exploding)

(intense music)

(guns firing)

(bomb exploding)

- Look, sir.

There they are.

- After them.

Go go.

(engine revving)

- Take care, Musa.

Indonesia must be free.

- Danu.

- Freedom.

- Danu.

(gun firing)

(cars crashing)

- Grab this horse, sir.

- And you?

- That one.

(mooing)

- Split in two.

One go through the north, sergeant.

- Sir.

- Follow me.

(intense music)

(horse neighing)

(yelling)

Whoa.

(gun clicking) (bright music)

- Sir?

- Well done, my friend.

See you again, Musa.

- [Warrior] My wife, I know now how to use a rifle.

Take good care of our child.

I will teach him how to shoot when he grows up.

- [Soldier] My dear mother.

I've been assigned to the north.

Don't know whether I'll make it back or not.

Take care, mother.

- [Older Soldier] My beloved son,

daddy will be home soon.

We will go together to the.

(voices speaking)

(speaking in foreign language)

- I can't believe I finally met Kioko.

She said that Mr. Yoshimura always

talked about me in his letters.

Kioko works at the United Nations,

and fights for the independence of Indonesia.

For her, Indonesia is a country that

her father really loved.

We strolled through the city.

There would be no loss.

No more tears.

Only happiness, and love.

- Freedom.
