With Ratger injured in the mêlée and seeking both his "merchandise" and bloody retribution, Yuda's introduction to this bustling city is a baptism of fire as he is forced to go on the run with Astri and her younger brother Adit as all the pimps and gangsters that inhabit the night hound the streets chasing their every step.

If you come back here and if

you waste my time again...

I'll f***ing ripped your heart out.

Yes, Mr. Boss!

I'll fix this.

- Jo... I'm going to get cigarettes.

- Okay, don't be long.

It's impossible that you enter

without them noticing.

I worked hard for the money.

I'm not leaving without it.

Furthermore, we don't have other

options. We needed the money.

Where is the money?

I will go and get it.

Trust me.

Okay! It is under the carpet,

you will not missed it.

Just wait here.

Don't come out before I come back.

Be careful!

Hey! Hey... hey, over here!

There are 2 persons here, quickly.

Get in there, faster.

Wait, it can only fit one person.

You might not fit in.

Don't worry about me.

I'll find some place else to hide.

No, don't go!

Don't leave me here.

Adit trust me!

I'll never leave you behind.

I promise I'll come back for you.

Now sit there quietly,

don't make any noise.

Don't make a sound.

He is up here!

Adit, where's Astri?

Where is your sister?

They took her away.

She asked me to sit here quietly.

I didn't do anything to save her.

Adit, hold on to this.

Please don't leave me again.

Listen, I can't take you with me.

It's too dangerous.

Now, you just wait here.

I will bring Astri back.

I swear!

Be strong for one last time.

Astri?!

You know I can't tell you

where she is.

I'm not giving you a choice.

Tell me, where's Astri now?

He lived in that apartment,

room 1426...

- Why don't you let someone just

carried her? - It's fine.

How many more floors are they?

- Level 9?

- 9.

Where do you think you're going?

This is only one.

Now go, fetch!

I think we can handle this one.

He is here!

Well worth the wait.

Now just make sure $800

a week to me.

Life is... tough.

We've to leave. His friend's

stirring up the place downstairs.

He is here,

and you want us to leave?

Are you completely out of your mind?

F*** that! I want to see him.

Please, I've follow you my

whole life...

And that's not about to change.

But I want you to please,

just let this one go.

Let's go home.

So you're the one they're

searching for.

You don't have to do this.

You know I was forced to.

I'm sorry!

Do it Yuda,

you don't have a choice.

Come on, just kill me!

I'll not become like you.

Open the door!

Get to know each other well.

You will be here for awhile

Lock them up!

- Wait!

- What?

- I want to see what he's capable of.

- Go ahead. He's in there.

And I want to know how.

Come on!

Listen...

Listen to them.

This is how things end!

Help!

It's you again.

Come on, let's go home.

Watch out!

Hold on, I'll get help.

There's not enough time.

No, don't talk like that.

Help me...

help me to send this home.

We'll go home together, I promised.

Please don't give up hope.

Tell my family what had happened.

Let them know that I did my best.

Tell them...

I'm sorry.

Just hold on.

No, you tell them yourself.

Live on.

There are still good out there.

They'll love you.

My family will...

Go!

Astri, go now...
