Apprentice Page #3

You always do this. Saying things to

hurt me! You trying to drive me away?

You doing this on purpose?

You've gone too far, Aiman.

I've had enough.

Hi. What's your name?

Mom!

Hi, good afternoon.

I'm looking for Mrs. Tan.

Yes?

Hi, I'm from Larangan prison.

You were supposed to drop off some

clothes for Mr. Randy tan this morning?

He's from the prison.

She's not in. She's not in.

Carry on.

Had your lunch?

Yes, sir.

Was it good?

I asked the cookhouse to

make it specially for you.

Thank you, sir.

Father Daniel came today?

You spoke with him?

Your wife, she came by.

When?

She brought you this...

For you to wear on Friday.

Where is she now?

Your father-in-law didn't

want her to see you.

She's glad that you signed

your organ donor sheet.

You are leaving this world

and helping others.

She's forgiven you, randy.

What if that guy...

Really didn't do it?

Which guy?

The one who had to be dragged

out of his cell.

He pleaded guilty.

The judge found him guilty.

That's that.

What's up with you?

Nothing.

You okay for tomorrow?

I'm okay, chief.

Cigarette?

Put the oil back.

Come, I'll give you a ride home.

Where should I turn?

At this traffic light.

The next guy after randy

has been with us five years.

His twin boys come every day.

Poor things, those two.

What did he commit?

Drugs trafficking.

Heroin.

Do you feel sorry for him?

What's the point?

He only trafficked drugs.

Not like it's murder.

So now you don't think

we should hang them?

Move!

Thanks, chief... For the ride.

Good night.

Come on, let's go.

Hey, we must go already.

Hey, wake up!

Randy, up!

Up! Let's go.

Take a deep breath, randy.

Deep breaths.

Slowly.

Slowly.

Don't worry.

Just follow me.

May Christ,

the son of the living god,

Set you on the evergreen

loveliness of his paradise.

And may he, the true shepherd,

recognize you...

Come on, randy, come on.

Pinion.

I'm sending you

to a better place, randy.

Take off the hood.

Time of death:
06:06.

Condition leading to death:

Fractured dislocation

of cervical spine.

Onset of death:

Instantaneous.

One, two, three, four.

Two, two, three, four.

Hi, this is Suhaila. I can't

come to the phone right now.

Please leave me a message, and I'll

call you back as soon as I can.

Hi, this is Suhaila.

I can't come to the phone right now.

Please leave me a message...

Sis?

Sis?

- Chief clerk's not in?

- No.

Pass this to him.

Yes, chief.

Ah. My guy's security

clearance done yet?

Not yet. Security department

just got his birth certificate.

Chief.

Where did you go?

There was an emergency at home.

Had to go back for a while.

What kind of emergency?

Did you bring the gallows key out?

Tell me the truth.

What do you mean?

I just went home for a while.

Anything you want to tell me?

I think that...

I can't continue here, chief.

Maybe it's best

that I transfer back

To the workshop.

I'm more used

to things over there.

Give me back the key.

You can leave now.

Who sent you?

Who do you work for?

No one.

Don't f*** with me.

You think I'm some spy?

We'll let security

department look into it.

What did I do wrong?

You didn't declare who your father was.

That's a chargeable offense.

Don't pretend

you didn't know that.

Why does it matter?

Your father was a murderer.

Thought you could just waltz in here?

You shouldn't even be here.

So what if my father was a murderer?

I'm not him!

He committed the crime,

and I have to pay for it?

My whole life I've had to

struggle with what he did.

I joined gangs.

I did drugs.

I almost died, you know?

It's a miracle that I can

have a job I'm good at.

You said so yourself.

But now it's not good enough?

It's easy for you to talk

about redemption to randy.

That his family's better off...

What I tell him is none

of your business.

Bullshit!

You lied to randy so it's

easier for you to hang him!

What compassion?

What principles?

All you care about is yourself, how

good you are at killing people!

Who do you think you are?

Who the f***

do you think you are?

You come in here and think you can tell

me what's right and wrong? Who are you?

I'm good at killing people.

So what?

How f***ed up your life is has

nothing to do with me or what I do.

It's f***ed up because

of what your father did.

Don't blame me.

He cut up his friend

to cover his tracks.

What sick person would do that?

Serves him right,

you understand?

Still, I did my job nice and

clean despite what he did.

Do you know what

the papers said about him?

People were saying hanging

was too easy for him.

But I still did my job.

I made it painless.

That is compassion, understand?

Who are you to lecture me?

Your father was hanged and you

want to become a hangman.

How f***ed up are you?

I've written up

your charge sheet.

In the morning, I'll send it in

for your disciplinary review.

You can get lost now.

Hi, this is Suhaila. I can't

come to the phone right now.

Please leave me a message, and I'll

call you back as soon as I can.

Sis.

How's Australia?

You okay?

I don't know what to do now.

I'm confused.

They found out about father.

I think...

I'm going to get charged.

Because I didn't declare.

You were right.

Why didn't I listen to you?

When you get this...

Call me back...

Okay?

Yeah, Aiman.

Why, what happened?

Something's wrong.

I'll tell you later.

And Joseph?

Hey, uncle, what's for lunch?

Aiman!

Sir.

We got a call

from the hospital this morning.

Chief Rahim had an accident.

But I was just

with him last night.

I don't know what happened.

Police are investigating.

How is he, sir?

He's in the ICU.

Still hasn't woken up.

Actually...

There's something

I need to talk to you about.

Permanent secretary rang

this morning,

Asking who is going

to take over as executioner.

I recommended you.

There's a high-profile

drugs case coming up.

We can't afford to wait.

I was there yesterday.

You did very well.

Your chief would be very happy

to know that you took over.

Have you visited chief?

Yep.

I'm glad you're taking over.

You're a lot braver than me.

I just couldn't pull the lever.

Seventy-three.

Come.

Mr. Leong?

Yeah.

Here's my father's clothes.

From your sons.

What's that?

Sis?

Aiman, are you okay?

I just got your message.

Did they charge you?

Aiman!

No.

They haven't charged me yet.

Is there a chance they won't?

What will you do now?

Hey, let's go.

Sorry, I have to go now.

Okay, Aiman.

I know that you will make

the right decision.

You always do.

You're my little brother.

Whatever happens,

I'll be here for you.

Thanks, sis.

Morning, sir.

Aiman.

This is Mr. Singh.

- Morning, sir.

- Morning.

This is Mr. Siew.

- Good morning, sir.

- Morning.

You ready?

Get up!

Come, follow me.

Come. Few more steps.

Few more steps.
