a rice porter like me?

I guarantee that you'll have

a different thing to say.

Ah, you ...

- The most important is the courage under fire.

That's what your best capability. - Yes ...

That is right. That way people

will see who is the best,

Lukman or me. Let's attack

the Dutch in Parit Buntar.

Don't attack. We have to obey

the ceasefire agreement.

- The hell with it.

- Don't go to war, Bujang.

Well, Bang ...

Listen.

When the full moon shines at night...

a rhymeless song is created.

Listen, Kirana is singing. Jang.

Bang, Bang ... How is Bang ?

It's up to you.

I'm like a piece of flower

adrift on the water.

A dove is fIying in the blue sky.

I am longing for him in my heart.

I'd like to go to the island,

but I only have the boat but not the rower.

Kirana asked you to come inside

so that the mosquitos won't bite you.

Please come in.

I never thought that you could

play guitar.

Just a little...

- I can also sing a little.

- You can do many things.

What else?

Pickpocketing.

One day, the war will be over

and we will win.

- We? - Yes?

- Who are we? - You, me.

Things will be different than now.

- What is your goal? - Do I have to

think about that now? - Yes.

- What do you want to be?

- That thing ever came across my mind ...

... because my mother is already so

ashamed of me being a pickpocket.

So, I've been thinking ...

in order to make her proud,

I wanted to be a policeman.

But ...

... people might wonder how could ...

... a pickpocket be a policeman.

If they got slip of tongue, ...

... they might even say a

policeman becomes a pickpocket.

If that happens, my mother will be

upset ...

... and so do the police.

Then I will surely go to jail.

Don't be a pickpocket anymore.

I won't.

I promise.

Even if you put things in front of me,

I won't take them.

I like you.

So ...

- ... in fact is there a pickpocket that

becomes a good person? - Yes.

- Is there is a pickpocket that becomes

a husband of a good woman? - Could be.

Let's shake hands.

Lukman.

Lukman.

- Hey, Bengak. - Yes, Bang.

- Call Lukman. - Yes, Bang.

- Mr Lukman ... Mr Lukman called...

- Woi, Mr Lukman ...

Mr Lukman ...

What happened?

- My badge is stolen.

- Ah, badge.

- We can make another one.

- But I need it now.

- Where are you going?

- I want to go to see my mother.

You don't need badge to

see your mother.

Otherwise she won't believe

I am a general now.

My clothes, pants,

gun and everything were stolen.

Who was the damn bad guy anyway?

Naga, Bujang left with 10 troops

When did he leave?

This early morning.

They are going to attack

the Dutch troops in Parit Buntar.

He brought your horse.

Finally he made himself a general.

- Mak ...

- So what should I do?

I have talked to her.

She said she likes me.

- So you think you are good enough

to be her husband? - She said so.

Please ask for her hand in

marriage for me.

Mak ...

Mak ...

Mak ...

- Assalamu'alaikum.

- Wa'alaikumsalam.

Eh, Emak ...

Come in, Mak.

Prepare the drinks.

Please have your drink.

- So Naga has already come here?

- A few times.

And then he tried to flatter you?

He talked like usual. He promised me

not to be a pickpocket anymore.

Don't believe anything he said.

He also ever promised me the same thing.

He said he would go to school,

but then he ran away.

He promised to learn more about religion,

but then he became a pickpocket.

He promised he would change his behaviour.

Don't believe anything he said.

Even his rank was also fake.

Lukman made it so that Naga allowed him ...

... to sell rice.

- But Naga has already fought.

- He is my son. I love him.

But I just don't like it

if he hurts you.

I also like you.

Please prepare the bed

and the matrass for me.

Bed? In the middle of war?

In any kind of circumstances.

I want to get married.

- Married.

- Okay, Bang.

Mak ...

Mak ...

- Did you tell her?

- Yes, I did.

What did she say then?

Did she say yes?

No. She was quiet.

- What did you say?

- I told her not to believe you.

You lie.

- Maybe later you'll hurt her.

- Is that what you told her? - Yes.

- So I am doomed.

- Bang ...

Bang ... Bang ... How much would

it cost for the bed you want to buy?

Don't ever talk to me about bed again.

Or else I'll lower your rank.

How can I ever get married

if Mak does that to me?

Report....

Bujang and his troops have arrived.

Report... Bujang has already returned.

- Ask him to come here. - No, can do.

- Why not? If he refuses ...

... lower his rank.

He is already dead.

Prepare the funeral ceremony.

The funeral cemerony will start

in a few minutes.

Ready.

The farewell speech for Corporal Bujang ...

... will be delivered

by Your Honor General Naga Bonar.

The farewell speech for Corporal Bujang ...

... will be delivered

by Your Honor General Naga Bonar.

Pick him up.

At ease.

- I'll pick him up.

- Okay.

Ready.

Announcement ...

- ... The farewell speech for Corporal Bujang...

- Major Sergeant.

For Major Sergeant Bujang

who has just been promoted ...

... will now be delivered

by Your Honor General Naga Bonar.

Bujang ...

I already forbade you to go to war.

But you said you could fight in a war.

I told you not to go to war,

but you still insisted to go there anyway.

That's why.

Now you're dead.

Burry him now.

The funeral will be held now.

I'll see after him first.

Bujang ...

Bujang ...

Bang ...

Don't cry like that.

You are a general. We could be ashamed.

So a general is not allowed to cry?

Why don't you

yourself be a general.

It is not that you're not allowed to cry.

Just don't cry outloud.

If our troops hear you,

they could be discouraged.

- So how ?

- Just a little.

It is okay to shed tears, though.

How can I only shed tears if my heart

can't hardly bear this sorrow anymore?

If I hold it inside ...

- ... I can be torn apart.

- It's up to you how to handle this.

But don't cry outloud like this.

This will taint our fight.

Oh, Bujang ...

... why did you go away, Bujang ...

How could you do this to me, Bujang ...

Put it on A minor again... Bujang ...

How could you do this to me, Bujang ...

Now put in on E.

Bujang ...

How could you do this to me...

I forbade him to go to war,

but he still went there anyway.

Bujang ... ya, Bujang ...

You mustn't be too sad, Naga.

Everybody dies,

- ... let alone in war.

- That is right...

Not only Corporal,

even general will also die.

But my grief is not about

the death of a corporal ....

The fake rank was made by Lukman.

But becaused of Bujang ...

I forbade him to go to war,

but he still went there anyway.

That's why.

- Now his body is being eaten by worms.

- That is his fate.

- What can we do about it?

- That is also right.

He was the most faithful

bestfriend I ever had.

When I went to jail a long time ago,

he came into the prison with me, ...

... even though he was not arrested.

He said that he could get

free meal in jail.

Now I am all alone.
