You killed my father!

But he saved my life! Without

Deppoh I would have drowned.

Why didn't your father

jump in and save you?

Because he can't swim.

- You believe that?

Yes, Dad can't swim.

"Deppoh, jump in or I'll

get my nice suit wet. "

Go back to your own country...

And never come back!

Never!

Bye Johan, have a good journey.

The finest time of your life, Johan!

Study, drinking, women.

There are good women and bad ones.

Watch out for the bad ones.

Good luck!

Dad? Is there a swimming

pool on board?

Of course!

Are you sure?

- Of course I'm sure.

How come?

- I swam every day on my honeymoon.

Have a good voyage.

Lieutenant Johan ten Berghe?

3rd company, infantry battalion.

7 December division?

Captain Sudiarta...

Commander of the TNI troops,

Siliwangi Division.

The past pursues me. An eye for an eye...

Between who?

Between me and him.

Between father and Urug.

Father forced Deppoh to save me,

didn't he?

You were there.

Would you watch your

own son drown?

Would you?

So what happened?

Deppoh drowned.

Hendrik dived in after you fell.

You were dragged out, then..

Hendrik didn't have

to order Deppoh.

The order was in Deppoh's blood.

He dived in to get

his master's watch.

When we found him, we decided

that Deppoh died a hero.

And that we would never

tell the true story.

Why not?

Shame.

The nobler his deed, the deeper

we buried our shame.

So father was paid back in kind.

Why Lida? Why didn't

you shop him?

Your father didn't kill Deppoh...

...and Urug didn't kill your father.

I saw him by the lake.

On the day father was killed.

It can't have been him, Johan.

He was taken prisoner 6 months ago.

He's in jail in Bandung.

What will happen to me?

Attention!

Urug?

Johan.

Keep walking!

Are we still friends?

Only if we are equals.

Aren't we equals now?

Keep walking!

Not if 12 Indonesians

worth as much as you.

Ten Berghe! Lieutenant!

Urug!

Here.

Take care of it.

Be safe...

'Near or far,

we will always be brothers. '

Right!
