Original subtitles

The King has summoned us to the palace? What for?

I don't know what it's for. If you want to know, you'll have to come with me.

We have to go now? Alright then, I'll come with you.

- Will you follow me? - Yes, I will.

If you would be so kind as to follow me to the palace,

we shall bow before the King.

- Do you know where we're at? - Where are we now?

- We have arrived at the city gates. - Oh! We already arrived.

I have been meaning to ask you.

Do you wish to come in with me, or do you want to wait here?

I will wait outside.

You want to wait outside because you're already tired, aren't you?

- Yes, I'm tired from earlier. - It's okay, you go and sit there.

- Why are you coughing? You tired as well? - I'm coughing...

It's fine, I will wait here.

I will go in to see the King.

- Your Highness! I'm back, Your Highness! - Oh! Is that really so?

- Where is the person I asked you to bring? - I invited him, Your Highness.

He demands that you summon him yourself, Your Highness.

I have to summon him myself, Awe?

If I were to summon him, how should I address him?

Oh, that is right. I forgot to mention that before.

Would you be so kind as to wait a bit, Your Highness?

Hey... stand up!

- His Highness wishes to address you. - So?

What is your name?

You said you were my friend!

I've forgotten your name.

My name is "Same As Before"!

- Same As Before? - Yes!

Why didn't you tell me it was Same As Before?

Your Highness! I know his name now, Your Highness.

What's his name? Same As Before.

Call him, Your Highness.

So his name is Same As Before?

That is right, Your Highness. Same As Before.

Should I address him as that?

Just like that, Your Highness. Same As Before.

- If you say so. - Carry on, Your Highness.

Oh dear, Same As Before!

Hey! Come here, you!

What's the matter now?

Why didn't you come in when the King summoned you?

Damn you!

Take this!

It's not Same As Before. Then?

"As Usual."

Why didn't you tell me it was As Usual, you fool.

My bad, Your Highness. That's not his name.

- What is his name then? - It's not Same As Before, Your Highness.

- Then what is his name? - As Usual, Your Highness.

- So his name is As Usual? - Yes indeed, your Highness.

Call him, Your Highness.

Where are you, As Usual?

- It's wrong again! - How is it wrong?

Hey, girl!

You can come and sit here with me.

You'll get a better view of the show.

It is even better if you sit on my lap.

That's my wife!

Hey!

Next time, why don't you stamp "Married" on her forehead.

Are you looking for trouble?

Hey!

If that night hadn't turned out that way,

I wouldn't have left my hometown.

I would have still played in my dad's makyung.

I wouldn't have been here in Kuala Lumpur.

After the incident at the makyung play,

my parents asked me to leave my hometown.

My dad feared I would disgrace his makyung.

I could not play makyung?

How could I go on with my life?

Makyung is me...

my flesh and blood.

Same goes for fighting.

If I were asked to either perform makyung...

or fight...

it'd be no different from a religious ceremony.

I'd feel guilty if I didn't show up.

Awi, my cousin...

invited me to Kuala Lumpur.

He said he was working on a makyung project.

I agreed to it

for the sake of my father,

not because I was running away from what happened that night.

PROSPERITY IN BUSINESS

No!

Here's how it is...

this is my niece, Nancy.

She's been back from studying at a university in Bangkok for a week.

Her major is in Nusantara Traditional Arts.

So, she's back for research on makyung.

By all means, Mr. Jimmy.

It's hard to find youths who're experts in makyung nowadays.

I can guarantee that.

It's better if you think about it through istikhorah prayer first, isn't it?

Is that right, Awi?

Yeah, that's right.

That's good. Good.

Jimmy, they're here.

I have to go

Sure.

Here, the day after tomorrow, do visit. I'll send you the address.

Alright, thank you, Mr. Low.

Okay, thank you.

WELCOME HOME. YOUR RETURN HAS BEEN AWAITED, SHERLY ANG.

Take these.

I won't do it.

Why not?

It's like I'm selling out makyung.

We have to teach everything to others.

Silat that belongs to the Malays.

Now everybody has mastered it.

Even the Dikir Barat, other people have mastered it too.

So, what's left for us?

Let me tell you.

Our people would be mad if others didn't respect our culture,

our art, and were ignorant to it all.

But it's all our fault, Duan.

If we don't teach them,

how will they know our culture, art, and language?

If they learn the art, they'll know it all.

Makyung belongs to the Kelantanese.

Jimmy Ang is Kelantanese. His niece is Kelantanese.

Duan, it's not wrong.

We'd benefit from it too if she mastered it.

Really, have a good think about it.

Just return all that money.

Really? Return it?

No. Take it.

I've taken RM200 for the groceries.

MARKET OPERATION CENTER

Hey!

Run!

Hey!

Damn it! Hey, you can't repossess our car like that!

I was in the repossession business too, you fool!

Don't mess with things here!

- Kelantanese moron! - Hey!

What did you just say?!

Duan!

Who are you?!

- Who are you? - He's my friend, you bastard!

If his name is Mamat,

you curse on Mamat.

Darn it, Mamat! Damn, Mamat!

You don't swear in the name of Kelantan!

I'm from Kelantan! You moron!

Here.

Take it.

Let's go.

Paid, thank you.

Praise be to God.

I'm Pok Su.

Pok Su Ki.

Come on.

Get in.

Why would I?

Just to get to know you.

I saw what you did there.

It was great! Amazing!

Defending our honor.

Get in.

Okay, with conditions.

If I'm safe, bring me back here.

If not, take me to the hospital.

That's what I like. Really!

At Selayang, Kuala Lumpur,

people call me Pok Su Ki "Buah."

I'm Duan.

What a nice name.

Duan is from the Arabic name, Ridhuan.

Ridhuan means sincerity.

Isn't that great?

How long have you been in Kuala Lumpur?

It's my second day here.

No wonder you're mad.

What's your job?

I help my friend sell burgers.

What if I offer you to work for me?

Work with me.

Be my bodyguard.

I'm sorry, Pok Su.

I came to KL for another job.

It's not in my bones to be a bodyguard.

Do you smoke?

No, I don't.

No wonder he's fit and strong. Not a smoker.

Actually, I don't agree with what she does.

I don't like her coming back here.

If you want to meet her, it's better to meet abroad than here.

I'm worried, I'm scared.

Mommy!

Mommy?!

I have lost my child!

I'm right here, Mommy! I'm not lost!

You came back as my niece.

Not my daughter!

I had to admit it!

Denying that you're the child I gave birth to!

Let it be...

Either way we know she's our daughter.

Papa...

They know I'm here.

Mind your own business!

He's related to me.

To you as well.

To all of us Kelantanese.

I can't take it.

You shouldn't be nosy.

If that was the case,

you'd be defending all the Kelantanese in KL? You're only asking for trouble.

You will be fighting every single day.

I'm not defending Kelantanese,

I'm defending the dignity of Kelantan.

Take it this way, Awi,

let me fight with all the people in KL.

As long as you don't stand in my way.

Don't do any business with Pok Su Ki.

Nope.

Who is he?

Oh, took you quite long to go to Tahlil?

It's you, Nulik!

I've been waiting for ages.

Even my toothache got worse.

There was a Tahlil at the surau.

Why are you here then?

What did he just ask?

We're here to see you since you're in KL, of course.

How did you know I was here?

Pak Ngah Hadi called me to look after you.

We're both related.

Pak Ngah Hadi is also my father's cousin.

Ah, like that?

No wonder you look a bit like him.

Wow, who knew?

We're all related to Pak Ngah Hadi.

- Eh, let's talk inside. - Go in.

- That's okay. Make some drinks first. - Yeah.

Finally, you are in Kuala Lumpur.

Yeah, finally.

Duan... you have to follow me.

There are some great spots in Kuala Lumpur.

I came here to perform makyung.

Not to fight.

Well, just play it as you wish.

Just finish your main job first, then come to me.

Hey, give me the card.

Well, that's my number.

Write down your number.

Save it.

What's with Pok Su Ki?

Do you know Pok Su Ki?

Pok Su was the one who told me about you.

The head of the Kelantan people in Kuala Lumpur.

You howl my name...

If there were police or my enemies, how would it turn out for me?

Take your guy home.

Take him to his house.

Go!

What a nuisance, all these new guys.

Where were we?

About the girl.

I want to see her.

Give me a few more days.

He said it was being arranged.

He's had five years to arrange it.

Is that not enough?

For five years, you waited patiently.

Surely, you could wait another month.

Don't talk to me about being patient.

She wasn't here for five years.

Now, she's back.

Two weeks.

Hey, how should I speak to that Chinese girl tomorrow?

Would she understand me speaking like this?

Speak however you like. The money's been paid.

Awi would take any job as long as it pays.

That's how he is.

Hey.

It's been some time since I've done this.

If I took my parents' advice...

I cannot live in Kuala Lumpur.

I quit my job.

I used to be the supervisor of the Motorola factory.

With a salary of 2,000 ringgit.

I quit.

I went back to ask you to stay here.

But you were in a fight that night.

I initially had a plan for you.

But God also has a plan for you.

That night, if you hadn't been caught up in the fight,

your father wouldn't have let you come here.

Oh, really.

Your so-called plan to tell me to dishonor makyung.

So much for planning.

Hey, here's another one.

What's this?

To perform makyung.

GOOD NEWS. MAKYUNG IN TOKYO. CONFIRMED.

In Tokyo!

Hey!

I'm just here to drop him off.

Duan. Come on out.

Okay, Mr. Low.

Hi, Duan.

Please, sit.

I'll make the drinks.

Cold or hot?

I just had a drink.

There is mineral water. Halal.

Let's start now.

Sit anywhere you like.

How do we start?

I don't know what you want.

I want to know everything.

Why don't we begin with its history?

Can we?

Would you understand my dialect?

I might just ramble and you'll be lost.

Come again?

Oh, no.

Try a bit slower.

Oh, my! It's alright. It's okay.

What about... You record it.

Who is this guy?

What makes you trust him?

Come on, sis, How long do you want to confine her?

It is the Traditional Arts Festival. It will be fun!

It'd be cool to perform makyung!

It doesn't matter if it's in Japan or Kuala Lumpur.

But if it's in Japan, even better!

Make it happen!

You have to work well with Nancy.

I'm telling you.

It's hard to work with this Chinese girl.

She doesn't understand a thing I say.

She kept laughing because she couldn't follow me.

Take her to makyung practice.

Let her see with her own eyes.

She can also ask the others.

Hey! Come!

Tonight, we try with Duan.

- Come! - Sure!

Let's go up!

Let me play the rebana. Welcome!

Can you go up?

What is that?

Okay.

Sit closely.

Come closer

Duan!

Is he still asleep?

Duan!

- It's you, Nulik. What's up? - God! Why you still in a sarong?

- Put your pants on! - What for?

My guy just got beaten up!

Damn!

Hurry up! You're slow!

Practice is at three. Awi will be picking us up.

We may run a bit late.

It's okay, I'll send Duan later.

Just share the location with Duan.

All good.

Gosh! Why put in such an effort? Why the effort?

Effort? It's just pants. If I just go naked, you'll be mad.

Take this inside.

Hurry up!

I don't know where this falls, obligatory or not.

I think it's obligatory this time.

Hurry up! Hurry!

Put them on in the car.

I had to wait for you! Because he said he's your guy!

He's my guy. I told him to get the car.

That's my car!

So, it's all yours?

What of mine, then?

If you want it.

It's late!

Those are Fendi's guys from Bukit Bintang.

What could we do?

What else? You've fought them already.

You only come see me after fighting them, right?

Just deal with it.

Duan too?

Thank God, he was there.

That's how Kuala Lumpur is.

Just like I said.

We, Kelantanese, won't fight each other.

Cigarette?

Nice...

Fendi of Bukit Bintang.

What were you up to with Malik?

Nothing.

It's the first day, and you're late. Here's the script.

What script is this? I'm not used to dealing with scripts.

Hey, this isn't your father's makyung. This is Kuala Lumpur's.

Read it or not, it's up to you.

Duan Nago Bogho.

Finally, I can work with you, Duan.

Do you still remember me?

Oh, my. If I don't remember you,

I must be dying.

People call you...

Kuala Lumpur's makyung Guru.

That one is playing the lead role.

Not from Kelantan?

Not even a Malay.

Parawathy.

You can call me, Salmi.

He's very knowledgeable in makyung.

KHALID SALLEH PORCH

Here, don't leave the script behind.

Have a little bit of respect for the script.

Makyung is being researched by the Chinese...

played by the Indians.

How can I not be angry?

Duan, we shouldn't be angry.

We should feel ashamed.

Look at her.

Okay?

It's hard to play makyung.

No...

You're okay. A fast learner.

It's still difficult.

I am not Kelantanese.

Come on!

Most Kelantanese are not really into makyung.

Some know nothing at all, some aren't bothered.

You're doing alright. Still interested, right?

Kak Mah said... I should learn from you.

You are an expert who knows everything.

I don't necessarily know how to teach.

You summoned me, Your Highness, among these attendants.

Where would you wish to conquer, Your Highness?

Which virgin of these states you desire?

Why don't you tell me, Your Highness.

So, here I am to shut the studio's door.

The tale here begone, we tell ours elsewhere.

The tale ends here, out we go

Out we go, Cik wei

The tale here begone We tell ours elsewhere.

Alright then.

USMAN AWANG HALL

The history goes like this. It has been dated back to...

Tengku Petra.

Tengku Petra was a royal, you know.

A royal.

It was passed down...

Or he was also known as Tengku Temenggong.

From there, makyung began to get well-known in Kelantan.

Makyung back then was already celebrated by the King.

Then...

it was passed down to Cik Kemala.

That was the time.

If you want to include the time before that again,

Some people say 800 years.

Some also claim 400 years.

But the place of origin of makyung varies.

Some say it was here, some say it was there.

About that...

I'm not too sure about that,

so, let's find more from the books.

Okay. Yes, sure. We need to read the books.

COSTUMES, MAKE-UP AND PROPS

You need to learn the dialect, the food,

learn the nature and setting.

Then, it'll be easy to learn makyung.

Yes, sir.

- This is budu isn't it? - Yes, this is budu.

My uncle's house has it and he loves it.

I see.

- But, you know what? - What is it?

I have never seen my aunt prepare it for him, even once.

Pity him.

But it will taste better if you eat it with your hands.

Go wash your hands at the back. There's a sink.

Let me take you there.

Hey!

I did nothing.

What did you do there at my car?

- It was a mistake, alright? - Don't do it again.

Or I'll do the same.

Eh, do eat.

I thought you'd left.

I won't leave halfway.

Especially when you're eating the food I serve.

Pok Su.

I know you can solve this.

I...

I don't trust Low anymore.

Because Low and Jimmy are both Chinese?

But keep in mind...

Jimmy and I are from Kelantan.

Because we are both Malays?

So, because we're Malay, I have to help?

No.

Not because of that.

This is just business.

I did business with Low. He couldn't do it.

I'm at a loss.

Now, I'm offering it to you.

If you can do it right,

you'll gain a lot.

Look...

- You give me time. - Hey!

Low, I gave him time, he couldn't do it.

I don't have time.

I'm here as you've summoned, Your Highness.

You're finally here, Awe.

That's right.

Where's your friend, Awe?

He's outside.

Tell him to come...

Come in and see me.

Come in and see me?

Tell him to come in and see me.

Okay, Your Highness.

What is it, Your Highness? I had a stomachache.

Hey! That's my spot!

Where's mine?

That's your spot!

I want to sit here.

You can't. It's mine! That's yours! I want to sit here.

You can't. It's mine! That's yours!

Look at yourself!

Forgive me, Your Highness.

Sit down!

Assoua eko, Yokohama!

Haip, Ajinomoto.

Haip, huaaa...

Samurai.

Ultraman.

Why are you fooling around?

Do you think this is a joke?

Well, I perform as a fool, don't I?

Playing a fool and messing around are two different things!

You're messing around!

If you're messing around just for the sake of Japan, then don't!

Mah! Ask him, is he here to perform or mess around?

If he's still messing around, do not allow him to come tomorrow.

It's okay.

Foolish old man...

Try to be as good...

as you were with Salmi.

You're being hard on him. Pity him.

He was being foolish.

He should only be goofy if its suits the story.

But it doesn't. Just nonsense.

Even so, say it nicely. What if he quits?

Who will replace him?

He should have quit from the start

if he can't be serious about it.

Come on!

Isn't it his role to be goofy?

Unlike Pakyung, the serious one.

That's not it. That's wrong.

Being goofy has its serious side.

Only then it would suit. Besides,

even if you have to be goofy, there is a part for it.

There's a part to be serious.

That's ridiculous.

Somad, do not get involved.

Duan, mind your own business.

You seemed to know I was coming!

You fried the crackers?

You didn't even hesitate to dig in! You seem very hungry!

How is it?

Duan... to make it short...

Haji Nor Motor, used cars.

You don't have to know it.

He told me to collect from the people who owed him.

Three used car owners owe him money, more than 500,000 ringgit.

He'll pay us 50,000 each.

For five people, so 10,000 each.

Don't think too hard.

It's simple, Duan. I've done it before.

That's why he's asked for my help again.

No, why doesn't he sue them?

It's a hassle to involve the courts.

It'll take years and won't be settled.

I can settle it in a week or two.

It's an opportunity, Duan.

You're better asking someone who used to this kind of job.

Think about it. I'll ask you again later.

We're going now.

We're going now.

Eh! Sorry.

I forgot to inform you that we were about to see the makyung practice.

Why can't you wrap up your interview and research here?

Why today, all of a sudden?

When we watch the practice, only then we can have a feel of makyung.

That's right.

With a live performance, I can learn a lot of things.

Do you really wish to expose yourself?

Do you know how dangerous it is out there?

People who are looking for you are the same race as him.

You still hang around him often.

How long should I stay afraid?

Because of this, I can't admit that you're my Mom.

Maybe they don't know I'm back. They could be just guessing.

Be careful.

Take this opportunity to meet with Mrs. Halimah.

You can ask her stuff.

Ask the actors, ask Pakyong.

Do they talk like you?

Why? Are you afraid you won't understand it?

It's okay, I'm here.

Makes no difference if you're here or not.

Hey!

You're doing a study on makyung not the theater's performance.

This is the language of makyung!

Yes.

I got it.

- Did I get it right? - Not "Pahe,"

- "Pehe." - "Pehe-pehe." Understood.

Sounds like "peha," thighs.

Duan, I'm going to the restroom.

Hey!

Open the door! What do you want from her?

Hey!

Open the door, damn it!

Damn it! You scoundrel!

This is Nancy,

she's a university student in Bangkok.

She's doing a study on makyung.

Sister Mah.

Many have come here to ask me about makyung.

That's very true.

Thank you, sis.

But, won't I disturb the practice?

Oh, no. It's okay.

Sure.

- Thank you. - Go ahead and chat.

Have a chat with Kak Mah.

Why is she here?

You said to bring her here.

Don't mess with Salmi's mood.

She looks different now. See?

Duan!

Can you sing? Salmi would like to learn.

Sure.

Can I record it?

Sure, you can.

Actually, I'm not the one you should ask about makyung.

It's all with Duan.

Make up your mind on one of them,

or else both will be heart broken.

What if... you arrange one for me.

Nonsense.

I'm not into anyone.

I'm just saying

that there are two women,

who're getting closer to me, day by day.

Gosh! I've never felt like this.

You need to know your strength.

Not just beating guys up.

This...

your art knowledge is priceless.

Knowing Nancy is a bit risky...

There are people stalking her.

They followed our car

up to our makyung practice hall.

It can't be.

Stalking her or you?

They're Chinese. It couldn't be me.

Be careful.

Could it be her lover?

No idea.

Hang on.

Maybe they got the wrong person.

STAY AWAY FROM SHERLY

Sherly? Who's that?

Does she have two names?

I can't even say.

Useless fool.

Just a picture?

All that money I've spent on you.

Just for a picture.

If I handed it over to someone else, it could be settled.

I could sleep at night.

Boss.

As the Malay proverb goes,

"When pulling hair from a pot of flour,

pull it slowly so it won't be messy."

If...

If we pulled it all now, it would get stuck.

And I'm telling you this too, as the Malays say,

"If your fishing net is stuck...

throw it all away!"

Got it?

Bring them both to me!

Get lost!

- Come on! - Leave her alone.

Hey!

Faster!

Hit the gas!

They're behind us!

- Faster! - I can't go any faster!

Let me take the wheel! Switch up!

Come on!

Hey!

Who are you?

Who are you?!

Armed men tried to kidnap you at the restaurant!

You drove the car like a maniac!

Who the heck are you?!

This is serious.

I'm involved now!

I'm not Jimmy Ang's niece.

I'm his daughter.

He's my father.

My name isn't Nancy. It's Sherly.

Oh, so that's it! I got a note...

to stay away from you.

This must be related to what happened seven years ago.

It must be.

Hey!

How could you be living in peace, huh?

I have your part.

I haven't touched it.

I got my part already.

Two years I was in prison.

Now, I'm going to give you your part!

Uncle Low suggested we report it to the police,

and the video became evidence.

Two years later,

Dino was sentenced to death.

Before he was sentenced, Papa sent me to Australia...

to stay with his brother.

He knew,

that they would seek revenge.

So, he sent me to the United States, for plastic surgery.

It wasn't only my face that was changed, it was everything.

Sometimes when I look in the mirror, I don't even know who I'm looking at.

Am I being lied to?

You're studying makyung as a front.

No, Duan. I didn't lie.

- You've lied to me. - No, I didn't lie to you!

Yes, maybe it was the initial thought,

but as I learned more about traditional arts,

it moved my heart.

I believe this is my destiny, Duan.

Destiny!

It's my soul, Nancy's soul! Not Sherly's!

I really want to continue the research.

I used to have many kinds of business.

There was a legal business.

After what happened to Nancy,

I decided to let it all go.

I gave up those illegal businesses.

Like your Islamic belief,

there are still some that's not gone.

I've said this so many times.

Stop that research.

This makyung nonsense!

Go back to Australia!

I started all this and I will finish it!

Why are you being so stubborn?

Enough! Look at her!

For now,

let me just take care of her.

Wherever she goes, I'm with her.

Even if her life is at stake,

I'll be sure to risk mine first.

Don't tell me I have to change how I look again, Papa!

Let me take care of Nancy.

I have to finish my job too.

But, just wait until after the makyung performance.

For now, we guard her together.

Nancy!

I've said before that

I won't leave you halfway while I serve the food.

Excuse me. Someone's waiting for me.

Here is how I will...

Here is how I will say to all of you.

Here is how I will say to all of you.

Come! You lot may enter the palace.

Duan.

You're too late.

I'm here, aren't I?

But if I'd been shot earlier, I wouldn't be here.

I'll tell you tonight.

Here is how I will say to all of you.

Come! All may enter the palace.

It is because I have a wish that is greater than any wish.

I'm already involved in this.

I can't get out of it.

Don't look for trouble, Duan.

Neither of you

are used to fights.

You don't know what it feels like.

I know it all.

Fighting. Arts.

Both have become my flesh and blood.

You, Somad,

my father showed me the arts.

Then, it was my uncle, Pakngah Adi...

He got me involved in the fights.

Both happened when I was a teenager.

That was my world.

You don't know what it feels like!

Hey!

This!

Have you been through this?

I was 24 at the time.

Ten years ago.

Wasn't even in Malaysia. It was in Singapore.

I was like you back then.

Afraid of nothing.

I was alone, against seven people.

Two of my friends ran away.

We shared a house and did contract work.

We fought when we gambled.

There's nothing that hasn't been in me.

Screwdriver? Metal? Knife?

Two weeks, Duan!

I had to be sectioned.

I ran away to Kuala Lumpur.

Nobody knew, Somad.

Not even my parents.

That's why I can't stay in my hometown!

Not because I'm afraid of this, no.

I don't want to die in vain.

Let me die for this art!

Boss! I have to be careful around Jimmy.

I have to be cautious.

Are you still new to this business?

Okay, boss. I promise that...

Don't promise me!

You. Don't say anything.

Listen to me.

Now here's my promise to you.

You've failed, you know?

If you fail again, you're done.

Bring those two to me!

Let me deal with them personally.

Keep this in mind, Low.

Exactly at 12 o'clock tonight...

your three weeks are over.

That means you've failed.

Mommy.

I'm going to watch the makyung performance.

If you're going out,

you might not be able to come home.

You are praying every day, why can't you ask God to protect me?

I'm praying every day for our safety and health.

Since getting married to your Papa,

there's not even one day I haven't prayed for this.

Not long after you went abroad,

your Papa got clean and gave up all his illegal businesses.

My life was...

so peaceful.

But since you've been back,

life has gone haywire.

I feel so messed up.

Don't you like me coming home?

If you hadn't come back,

it'd have been good for you and me.

No matter what, I'm still going to watch the makyung performance.

Makyung is important to me.

If that is so,

ask your Papa to take you.

Hey! Who is that?

Hey!

Hold on. I'll open the door.

Where are you from?

Watch out!

It's open.

Boss didn't ask us to kill him!

Duan?

Duan?

Gosh! He's not here.

He's not here.

Was he dragged away?

Let's just wait.

What happened?!

What do you mean?

I should be the one asking you.

You were home, right?

I was out buying some food.

Did you lock the doors?

How did you get home?

Hey!

The doors were open.

This must have been thieves.

Duan.

They know where we live.

Thank God, it was our home.

If they had gone to the makyung place, I'd have to return back home.

It's alright.

Just eat your dinner, I'll clean it up.

I mean, noodles.

Let me clean it up.

What's wrong?

Thirsty.

Sore throat.

I keep thinking

In my heart Looks like I'm going to sleep

Was it Fendi or his guys?

His guys.

But I think it came from Fendi.

If so, it means it's a big deal.

It's a big deal.

So Nulik, you brought Duan here. How can I help?

I don't know, Duan. What do you want?

Whatever happens, I can't leave Nancy.

She wants to learn makyung!

Oh, another thing.

I need to face Fendi.

So, I need your advice.

My advice is simple.

Just go back home.

Go back to Kelantan for a few years.

I remember when I failed my form three.

My father used to say to me,

with his knowledge in makyung, even those PhD students came to see him.

Just like what you're doing now with Nancy.

Your dad was like that too!

Nancy should be here tonight.

Are you crazy?!

Or have you invited her?

I dare not.

Sometimes, we have to be cowards.

Papa!

Are you heading out?

Yeah.

I thought you'd promised to accompany me to the makyung performance.

Won't it be at night?

Did you forget?

They're having the opening ritual this evening. It's important.

I'm about to meet someone. I promised them.

You promised me too.

I'll ask Uncle Low to accompany you, okay?

Go call your uncle.

Oh no!

Ouch!

Duan!

Can you help me?

Sure, Your Highness, whom I deeply dote on.

The King I care the most for.

Why are you fooling around?

Ouch!

What's happened to your back?

Nothing, some mirror glass fell on me at home.

How could it end up like this?

I don't really know.

But...

lately my mind always thinks of you.

Nonsense.

MAK YONG NIGHT WILL BE AT THE TOKYO ASIA ART FESTIVAL

Somad...

Duan won't be feeling cold in Tokyo.

Found his warmer already.

No need for Tokyo. Everything is here.

Even KL is chilly.

They're talking about us.

What about?

They say Tokyo is cold, so we need to dress warmly.

My, oh my, having fun teasing us, eh?

You must be careful when you're in a crowded place.

Just be alert while watching the performance

and don't trust any strangers. Please remember.

Yes, I will, don't worry, Uncle's coming with me.

Please look after her for me and please be alert.

All these years, all I've done is for her safety.

She is like my own daughter.

As usual, I won't trust anyone.

I'll accompany her myself.

I know, I'm very worried and feel uneasy.

Don't worry.

Where you sitting?

Here.

You must sit in the back!

Don't you need to protect her?

You sit in the back and protect her.

Don't sit in dark areas.

Sit in brighter places, understand?

You, always be with her, never leave her alone!

Fendi knew my daughter was home.

He wasn't supposed to.

I shouldn't know it either, right?

Supposedly.

Then?

Well, you know about my daughter's case from five years ago.

Everyone does, but you think we don't.

How Fendi knew her whereabouts still baffles me.

Other than you and your wife, are there any other outsiders who knew?

Low is the only outsider who knew.

Her uncle.

All this time, Low has been helpful.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry to say this,

it's possible that he's behind all of this.

Eh,

Nancy's with him!

What, now?

Hello? Papa!

I have made a promise to Fendi.

Don't joke around.

I, your uncle, was immature when I was young.

I was jailed for four years.

When I was released,

your grandfather had already passed away.

All his property went to your mom and papa.

What about me?

Never got a single cent.

So what?

I had to work under your papa.

Became his pet dog.

Was controlled by him.

You.

You're the RM 5 million that I deserved.

I've waited five years for this opportunity.

No. It can't be...

You're the one who loved me the most and pampered me from when I was young.

Duan, Salmi's not here. Go and look for her.

- Where could she be? - Inside.

Is the ritual doing fine?

Afraid?

Let's go.

If we hadn't trusted him, it wouldn't be like this.

That's why I forbade her from coming home in the first place.

I didn't want to face this kind of thing.

I hope Pok Su Ki finds her.

If we can't even trust her own uncle,

who else can we trust?

Let's report it to the police.

Do you want to expose Sherly's identity?

I'll kill my own brother.

Boss! How are you?

Fendi sends his regards.

He thanked you.

Your work ends here, Mr. Low.

Duan!

Come here.

What is it?

Nancy is with Fendi.

Pok Su Ki told me, we have to go.

Let's go.

Awi!

I have to go.

Nancy has been kidnapped.

Hey!

It's tonight!

You have your own job tonight!

Nancy is my job too! I made a promise, right?

I promised to teach her makyung.

If only I hadn't taken my clothes off and shown you those scars,

I wouldn't be tagging along with you.

I regret showing them to you.

Typical of Pakngah Hadi's blood.

How did Fendi got hold of her?

Pok Su Ki didn't tell me. He just asked me to tell you.

No, I mean how did Pok Su know?

It's Pok Su!

People like him know everything.

Did he know you teach Nancy?

I told him.

Sherly,

I bought this old warehouse, three years after you ran to Australia.

But I didn't do anything to it.

If I want to be richer that I am now,

I can turn it into a high-class brothel,

or into an international gambling center,

yet, I refuse to.

Because

I'm going to bury you here.

Thank God you're here.

I've said it before.

You have to choose your friends wisely.

Let's go.

You know what...? I want you to die

as "Sherly," not "Nancy."

Understand?

- Pok Su! - Darn you!

Pok Su!

Hey!

Take this.

SENDING LOCATION TO MR. JIMMY

This is Paksu's ability...

which is not on Low.

If I counted on Low...

this kid wouldn't be here.

Pok Su! What are you trying to pull?

Nulik, this is purely business...

Fendi gave me a job.

It's that simple.

From Mr. Low to me. He was slow.

A million ringgit. For a job half-done.

I've said to you, to live in Kuala Lumpur one must be resilient.

Listen, Duan.

Being brave requires brains too! Don't be foolishly brave.

Be smart!

The Kelantanese don't betray each other!

That's what you said!

In today's world Nulik,

betraying each other is no longer a crime,

not an insult, it's a business now.

We're not here to talk! Makyung's waiting for us!

Hey!

Kak, Duan's not here.

I've been trying to call him, but there no response.

The show's about to begin. He should be on standby!

Awi's gone too!

- Awi! Where is he? - He'll be here soon.

He's not here.

Yeah, the music is ready.

All has been set up.

We're doomed!

Kak, Duan isn't here yet.

We can't wait for him any longer.

It will begin soon!

Anyone sitting here?

Din.

Why? What's up?

Din, standby, would you?

Replace Duan?

Come on. Hurry up!

Mak yong is a special performance of Malaysian origin that has gained

international recognition by UNESCO.

We are very proud to perform it.

Well then, ladies and gentlemen,

please enjoy the makyung performance.

To all our guests, we welcome you

to our makyung performance of the Dewan Muda Preview show.

Let's welcome them!

Duan!

I can play a fool too, Kak Mah.

No need to be worried.

There's just one part I'm not sure of.

When I'm about to enter, what should I say?

When Elder Clown asks.

I remember the rest except that.

Din,

if Elder Clown calls for you, just say anything.

Just say you're eating, sleeping, anything, yeah?

Is that okay?

What are you doing up there?

I'm sleeping.

- Is that okay? - Yes!

- Japanese! - Japanese!

Get in!

Get in!

Pok Su!

I'm a businessman, Nulik.

You should understand I'm a businessman.

We've known each other for some time. Very good buddies.

You need to remember that, okay.

Mark my words, okay?

I knew Duan even before you, Pok Su.

I want you to die like my brother died.

I planned to hang both of you. But it didn't go to plan.

Duan!

Duan!

Look at yourself!

Are you blind, Awe?

Not yet, I just can't see clearly.

Don't you know who I am?

You're wondering if I know you?

Raise up your hand!

- Raise it. Yes, like that. - Know who I am now, Awe?

Your armpit... smells bad...

Find the nearest hospital!

No! Don't go to the hospital!

Send me to the makyung performance place!

They've been waiting.

Mommy!

Rumah PENA, behind DBP.

Duan...

I'd like to apologize.

I doubted you all this time, Duan.

Oh, my Royal Highness.

Is that you, Awe?!

It is I, Your Highness.

For what reason has Your Highness summoned me?

I have a task for you, Awe.

Yes, Your Highness.

Bring your friend here, Awe.

Is that so, Your Highness?

It's okay. I'll go. Just wait here.

Hey, my friend!

I'm here!

Yes!

Are you home, my friend?

Yes! I'm inside.

Who's there, right outside my house?

Can't even get a wink of sleep.

It's me, your friend.

Why do you want to see me?

I'm here, with the news from the King.

If you want to know, come down here.

Okay then, where are you now?

I'm outside your house.

Be careful, I'm coming down now.

Hey, careful there, look into your heart

What your heart's willing of o' Cik Wei

Come hurry, I'm heading out In a hurry o' Tuan Wei

Let's!

Why did you poke my behind?

It's you!

Why are you right in the way?!

Can't you walk on the other side since I'm here?!

No, I can't! I'm not used to other ways.

What's up?

I'm here with a big matter.

The King has summoned you. Important and urgent work.

Important work from the king?

That's right.

Must I be there now?

- Yes! Yes, we go now! - Can't it be later?

No. It can't. I'll take you there.

Come!

Let's go together.

This is the King's palace.

This is where I meet the King.

Now, you wait outside.

- Where? - Wait outside.

- Be quick. - Sure, I'll seek the King.

I'm going to call The King.

Your Highness? Your Highness?

I'm back, Your Highness.

Ah, you're back, Awe.

That's right. I'm here, Your Highness.

Where's your friend?

He's outside.

- Call him in. - As you wish.

Hey! Come in!

The King has summoned you.

- Can I come in? - Yes, you can.

- Can I come in now? - Yes, now. Yes, you can.

Can I come in now?

Come in.

You called me, Your Highness?

Hey! That's my place.

This is my place!

- Where's mine? - Yours is there!

Be seated, both of you.

Is it that hard to be seated, Awe?

Sit, face me.

Why is it that you wish to see us, Your Highness?

Do command on us your wish, Your Highness!

- Can I know... - What are you trying to say?!

Don't fool around, Awe!

Get up!

Get up, Awe.

Duan.

Duan, wake up!

God, he's bleeding!

Duan!

Duan! Duan, wake up!

Duan!

Mommy!

Don't get involved!

Duan!

One day, we could go to the thrift shop. We can get a sweater.

People say Japan will be cold.

I thought you were...

I haven't left yet...

I've told you before...

I will not die, makyung lives in me.

I will bequeath the soul of makyung to Salmi...

As well as to Nancy.

I wish for makyung to be in everyone hearts.

Thank you, Awi...

for showing me...

that it's more than meets the eye.
