Children, none older than 6 or 10,

would disappear as well.

Do you want to know

what happened to those children?

Those children grew up.

They were bred to become smugglers...

plunderers...

and killers.

Imagine that.

These brats have a stranglehold

on this island.

Sons of b*tches.

Everyone of them willing to die...

for their mysterious

terrorist master.

Now, one has to wonder.

Who is this person?

Even amongst criminals,

he's a terrifying figure.

Few who live to tell the tale...

refer to him simply as "Lee."

What's it got to do with me?

Two months ago...

we hit the jackpot.

Right out of the blue,

we found Lee,

sitting out in the open.

Unarmed. Unguarded.

Imagine that.

Crazy.

But you see, Ishmael.

- It gets even crazier...

- You haven't answered my question.

What do you say now, scum?

Listen, I really don't know...

Turn the lights back on!

What the f*** is going on?

Who are you?

I am...

Come on, let's go.

Turn the power back on.

Abdi...

Three.

Four.

Hiding? Where the f*** are you?

I still wanna play.

Ah, f***. Not bad...

Bro.

Hey, bro.

Wanna know what I did

to that b*tch of yours?

F*** you!

So, you're the one? Abdi's savior.

What is he to you?

A good name, Abdi.

It's supposed to mean loyalty.

Who are you?

Don't kill him.

Tell him we got his woman.

Tejo?

I'm still here.

And I'll be coming.

You still remember your father,

right, Abdi?

Lee.

That's my boy.

Ailin!

- Ishmael.

- Ailin!

- Lee! Let her go!

- You hear that?

Do you remember it now?

All the memories from that f***ing place?

You remember, right?

He threw us into that well.

It's what separates him

from other scum.

He took us from our parents.

He taught us how to survive

and how to kill.

Days, even weeks, without food.

Without water.

Yet... it's that very suffering

that turned us into brothers.

That's not how it ends though.

Yeah.

A bottle of water could turn

desperate kids into murderers.

Hence, the father from hell.

If you know all about it,

why are you still on his side?

Everyone has to choose a side.

Following that f***er is my fate.

You have a new lease on life.

Why are you here?

Back off and I'll let you live.

Besi...

I can't back off now.

All this for the doctor?

Like you said,

everyone has to choose a side.

This won't be as easy as Tejo or Tano.

Well done, Abdi.

Now comes the final drill.

Abdi...

Besi was always on your side.

And this is how you repay him?

You're tearing us apart, Abdi!

Remember me, Abdi?

Or should I call you Ishmael?

Where's Ailin?

Take me to her.

I don't know which makes me sadder,

watching you killing your own...

or seeing the sorry state you're in now.

Do you know how close we were?

Why does it have to change, Abdi?

Probably because you put

a bullet in my head.

You betrayed father, right?

If you ask me to choose...

you know whom I would choose.

Rika...

this has been going for far too long.

I don't wanna kill anymore.

So, it's all about her, right?

Leave Ailin out of this.

Since you want her that bad...

Rika!

Rika.

That's enough, Rika.

Rika.

That's enough.

Remember this place?

We trained here as kids.

Even then, I always admired you, Abdi.

Those were the happiest moments.

Listen to me.

You can get away from Lee.

You have the choice to be free.

Rika.

Rika, no...

Now...

we're even.

Rika.

I remember everything.

You raised us to be wolves.

All we were good for was killing.

Maybe so.

But it's all apparent now.

You're neither a legend, nor a father.

FREE OR DIE:

Just an old man who bullies little kids.

In the end you made a mistake.

We'll settle this.

I'm already here.

Hurry! Hurry!

Go hide in the corner.

Where's the key?

Get up.

Come on, get up.

Turn around.

- Why?

- I said, turn around!

Stay still!

F***ing b*tch!

You're both dead!

B*tch! You can't even shoot.

No, wait! Drop it!

Let's get the hell out.

Let's go. Let's go.

This way.

What was that?

Ailin.

It's me.

Ailin?

Ailin, are you all right?

Ailin...

I'm so sorry.

- Are you hurt bad?

- Shut up!

Ailin, please calm down.

Get out of the way! We're leaving.

Yes, we will leave.

You're one of them.

You are exactly like them!

Yes.

You're right.

Everything that I've done

to get away from them...

brought me to this day,

this very second.

You saved me before.

I need you to save me one more time.

Ishmael...

Wake up! Wake up!

Where's Rika?

Is she dead?

You killed her?

She died a long time ago.

From the moment

you pulled her out of that well.

All of them died

when you first laid your hands on them.

Abdi?

Abdi.

Lee!

Ishmael.

Ishmael.

Ishmael.

Don't close your eyes, Ishmael.

Ishmael. Just look at me.

Ishmael. Ishmael.

Don't leave me.

This feels familiar.

So, how's Jakarta?

At least the bed's better this time.

Just wait until you get out.

You've experienced nothing yet.

So, please...

Don't make me wait

another two months this time.

Okay?

Okay?

PATIENT DIAGNOSIS

You should write...

Ishmael.
