Geran (2019) Movie Script
1
-Ali!
-Ali!
-Get it.
-Get it.
Hey!
Goal!
-Goal!
-Goal!
Goal!
Block him.
-Just go home!
-Do you even know how to play?
Hey! What did you do to my brother?
-Just go home!
-Go home!
Just you wait.
-That's enough! You cheated!
-Enough.
Go home.
Men came from the land.
Therefore, walk on it with humility.
Before you are withered by time.
The land will bring you wealth
if it is well taken care of.
Yet it can also lead to conflict and war.
One without an end.
Dad, come and eat.
I bet that kid is still asleep.
Mat Arip is getting worse.
It's your fault, Dad.
I've been telling you.
You shouldn't be too soft on him.
You've been pampering him too much.
That
When is Suyop's kid's wedding ceremony?
I forgot where I kept the invitation card.
You're not listening.
I'm talking about Mat Arip here,
yet you're changing the subject.
Tell me.
When did you realize the deed was missing?
Yesterday.
No doubt, it has got to be him.
I saw him going into your room,
then he left in a hurry.
Fatimah, if he really took the deed,
what would he do with it? Sell it?
It's not like he has the right to sell it.
Even if he takes it to the land office,
they will still ask for my permission.
I know. I get that part.
But I'm worried about his attitude.
Why is it so bad?
Peace be unto you!
Who are those people at your house?
Are you having a feast?
Who?
-Peace be unto you!
-And unto you.
Have you no manners?
Are you guys animals?
Coming into someone's house uninvited.
Kicking their front door in.
Get out! I said get out!
Be patient, Fatimah. Uncle.
Fatimah. Where is your brother?
Why are you looking for him?
Mat Arip owes us.
Mr. Nayan, you listen here.
Your son, Mat Arip, is a gambling addict.
He likes to gamble
but doesn't have the money.
Last night, he made a bet
on a fight in Changlun.
He said that if he won,
he'd pay back all his debts
to Haji Daud, but he lost.
Twenty-thousand ringgit!
Plus, the interest is increasing.
Your son is like a magpie.
Runs his mouth all the time.
When he borrowed, he promised heaven,
but goes missing when he got the money.
He pawned the deed to Haji Daud.
He said he would come and pay it off.
That's enough!
Give the deed to me.
I said give it to me.
He owes you, so he should pay it.
Why does my dad have to pay?
Fatimah! Can you not interrupt us
while we are talking?
We are having a discussion
with your dad right now.
It's okay. Listen here.
Let us try and work something out.
What are you going to do?
Do you have the money to pay?
Let's go to the land office
and transfer the name.
Give it here! Give me the deed.
Give it here!
Fucking bitch!
Are you okay, Dad?
What's wrong with you?
We came here as guests,
but she treated us like animals.
Guests, my ass!
You almost broke down my door,
tore my house apart.
I'm going to kick your ass again.
We've got morals. We've got our ways.
If there's a problem, we can discuss it.
What's your name?
Mohamad Arip bin Nayan?
Take this agreement and read it.
I don't care who you all are.
Descendants of Lord Nayan,
the gods, or Dracula.
The debt must be paid.
I'm speaking plainly.
It's simple and easy.
I'm giving you one week.
Remember! One week.
Mat Arip, pick up the phone!
It's your sister.
Pick up, quick!
Here, answer the phone.
MY BELOVED SISTER
You don't need to call him anymore.
Why are you calling him?
Dad, it's like this.
I really need to ask him about the deed.
Didn't you see
who had the deed this morning?
Why are you still calling him?
I know why they want you to go home.
They want your blessing
for me to marry your sister.
Okay, don't be mad.
You don't have to get mad.
Is this how you're going
to be as my brother-in-law?
Alright, chill.
Explain it to me and let me understand.
Why do they want you home?
They want me to face my dad.
Mat Arip is your little brother.
He is our family's problem.
We can solve this on our own.
The main concern now is Haji Daud.
He's a crook.
Even if I hadn't pawned
the deed to Haji Daud,
he's been after my dad's land
for a long time.
Look at other people's lands.
He took them all.
That's right! He grabbed them all.
Ngah Jusoh, Wan Timah,
Din Gajah, Mok Ganu.
He owns them all.
Damn right!
Yes, you're right. Haji Daud has been
targeting our land for a long time now.
If we don't give him any chance,
they wouldn't be able to take it.
Haji Daud has the perfect opportunity now.
Who gave it to him?
Mat Arip, our own brother.
We can't just sit around and do nothing.
Do you think I'm going to let it happen?
Sit here silently without doing anything?
I'm your father.
I have my own ways.
I know what needs to be done.
Be patient, Ali. God is testing us.
He is testing us
to know the extent of our faith.
I don't know what to do, Tok Malim.
Ali.
Your father is wise.
He knows how to resolve this.
If God is willing.
I don't think that crook
wants to discuss anything.
People do not know the rights and wrongs.
"The right has come,
and all that is wrong will be gone."
"The wrong will truly be gone."
Umar Al-Khattab said,
"You will never feel sad
if you know what you're looking for."
For the substance of your life
is in the grasp of God.
Your purpose, for God
and to please God.
"God is holy and all-powerful."
I see it now.
Thank you, Tok Malim.
Tok Malim
Okay?
He doesn't know how to count.
No need to count. Enough already.
-Isn't there anything for me?
-I'll get going first.
-Respect the rich people.
-Let's thank him first.
Hey.
Let them have their fun.
When those two assholes get here,
I'm going to stomp on their faces.
Why are you all pissed off?
Do you want to know why?
Those assholes cheated me.
Cheated? Tell me how.
I should have won last week.
Hold on.
Let me tell you.
Even if they hadn't cheated,
you still wouldn't have won.
You can drive your car into the sea.
What did you say?
-What did you say?
-Hey!
Go ahead and punch.
That's enough.
When he gets here,
race him and beat him.
Show him who's boss.
Unless you're all talk, I'll shut you up.
Are you still not done yet?
Hey, that's enough!
Don't make me throw
both of you into the sea.
Then we can forget about the game.
There.
Why aren't you clapping for me?
Hi.
What's with the long faces?
I can't see clearly.
Do you guys enjoy sitting in smoke?
Arip, they are getting in the mood.
Mood? What kind of mood?
The mood of being losers.
You there, be quiet.
You guys seem to be very happy.
What have you been smoking?
Hey, what are you talking about?
We don't do that shit.
You guys are still red-faced
from your defeat last week.
Enough with the chitchat.
When do we start?
I'm ready to go. What's the stake?
Pretty straightforward.
The loser gets his car burnt.
Are you game?
If I lose, not just my car,
you can burn down my house too.
I can't believe you drive a pink car.
Enough. Let's start!
Let's get started.
Community sport,
by the people and for the people.
Hey, Mat.
He thinks his piece of scrap metal
can defeat your piece of scrap metal.
Your scrap metal is beautiful.
This is a piece of cake for you.
Lands in this country,
fields of plantation
have been rezoned as cities
and given housing status.
Therefore, this is a good indication
that our economy
-Peace be upon you.
-And unto you peace, Uncle Teh.
-What are you doing here?
-There.
Council meeting.
My dad asked me to come
while he stayed home, rolling tobacco.
He's clever.
What council meeting
if we are just sitting here?
We're here to help our friends out.
Instead, this guy talks about
this land, that land.
They are planning to grab
these people's lands.
Kill two birds with one stone, Uncle Teh.
You're right.
Come on!
Open the door, champion!
Mat Arip!
-Hold on, let me go and provoke them.
-Go ahead.
You need to write this down
in your diaries.
This will be history.
What did you say earlier?
The loser gets his car burnt?
Burn his car!
Burn!
Who do you think I am?
This is Mat Arip Mat Nayan.
Enough!
I organize this for everyone to have fun.
Are you blind? He started it.
Shut up!
You won. Go home.
-Asshole!
-I said go home!
Right! Mat Arip.
Let's go.
Get lost
Don't waste time
We should do this again, assholes.
744, 745
What is this? Thai money.
So, we have
RM771.65 in total.
Is that all?
This is all I have right now.
Why didn't you answer our calls?
I've been a bit busy.
I have no intention of running away.
Then why did you move away?
Answer me!
I'm sleepy.
All you do is sleep.
You never keep me company.
Isn't this the way back to our house?
First, you borrowed RM3,000
to buy a motorcycle for your son.
Am I right?
-Yes, that's right.
-Now, where is the motorcycle?
It's gone. It was repossessed.
This is what happens to parents nowadays.
They struggle to give
their children a better life.
But in the end,
their kids make nothing of themselves.
You should have spent the money
on buying food for cows.
At least you'd be able to sell them later.
-It's not the same as you.
-Now it's like this, Mat Arip.
Why don't we turn back?
We use the money we have.
The same year, you borrowed
from Haji Daud for a second time.
It was more than before.
Fifteen thousand ringgit. What was it for?
It's for the extension
of the kitchen area.
This is how people are nowadays.
Spending based on what they want
instead of what they can afford.
Don't worry, I've done the math.
We set aside the RM20,000
and pay the crook.
We spend what's left.
The paddy field next to the main road
is yours, right?
Yes, it's mine.
-How big is it?
-Two acres.
How big?
-Six acres.
-From two to six.
There you go.
I have a bad feeling about Kahar and Yon.
They're chasing us every day.
Do they think we're going to run away?
There's no point thinking about it.
Let's just get this over with.
Tam, it's like this.
Go home first.
Tomorrow morning, dress well
and wait for me at the field.
I need to check it out first.
After that, we'll go to the land office.
We'll take a trip tomorrow.
Remember, nine in the morning.
Don't go running away.
When a dog gets its bone,
what else does it do?
They keep licking. That's all they know.
Bought a motorcycle, lost it.
Renovated the house
and now lives in a ditch.
Why don't you drive in?
Let's go.
Uncle Tam.
Uncle Tam, you must be scratching
your head so much.
Your hair is thin now.
You mind your own business.
So fierce.
-What's with him?
-I don't know.
You shouldn't be borrowing money
at your age.
Dad, let's eat.
Your brother, Mat Arip.
When he was young,
he loved playing in the rain.
He would run out and play in the rain
every chance he got.
Your mom would get
a coat hanger and chase him.
People with a high level of confidence
don't require us to find them.
-I don't like people looking for me.
-Give them the present.
It's settled, right?
Two days ago, I visited your family.
-Didn't your dad say anything?
-What is this?
I told you not to get my family involved.
Why didn't you pick up your phone?
Your brother is clever, a smart one.
He knows your mother won't do anything
if he comes running to me.
You can't go in with just your guts.
You still need your brain.
What are you guys talking about?
That kid you beat up.
He is Haji Daud's nephew. Did you know?
Even though Haji Daud is not here,
his influence is felt far and wide.
Your mother was right.
I shouldn't have pampered Mat Arip.
He's too spoilt.
It's all here.
-That's enough, right?
-Enough? Enough, my ass.
This is the initial sum.
What about the interest?
What interest?
Last month, I paid RM7,500
and now RM20,000.
RM7,500 plus RM20,000 is--
RM27,500.
Why are you shouting? We're not deaf.
When you came and signed the agreement,
did you read it properly?
When you first asked me about the loan,
I explained everything.
How the repayment works.
What happens to the interest rate
when you don't pay on time.
Did I not tell him, Mi?
You read it, right?
You must have not understood it.
I have done all sorts of work.
From farming, working the paddy fields,
hacking trees
to building houses and mixing cement.
I've done it all.
Among those, I enjoyed one.
Do you know which one?
Digging graves.
But that's in the past.
It's been a while
since I last held a shovel.
What about my deed? Can I get it?
I made a mistake.
I did a poor job raising Mat Arip.
Dad.
Mat Arip is an adult.
I'm confident he can take care of himself.
The matter we have to worry about
is Haji Daud.
Settle the debt first
and discuss other things later.
Fuckers!
-What is this?
-Mat Arip.
-Mat Arip.
-Hold on.
Mat Arip.
I don't like playing hide-and-seek,
and I don't play games.
Mat Arip!
Yes, we're leaving.
Let's go home!
It's so difficult with you.
Why can't it be easy?
There are so many things to think about.
You don't have to worry
about me and Fatimah.
We're bulletproof.
Remember to recite
ayatul Kursi after prayers.
We will be protected against
humans, demons, and jinn.
Also, don't forget to read
the ten early verses of Surah Al-Kahfi.
We will be protected against slander.
If God is willing.
God never breaks a promise, Ali.
Alright, Dad.
I'm not worried about Mat Arip.
I'm more worried about his dad.
It's not going to be easy
to get Nayan's land.
Think about it. He owes RM20,000.
That's nothing for him.
He might come tomorrow and settle it all.
Then is the deed we have in our hands
pretty much useless?
More or less.
We know he loves gambling.
So his weakness must lie there too.
There is a way.
How?
Yes.
You don't have to worry too much
about that Haji Daud.
It's bad for your health.
Now, have a drag.
I don't care about Haji Daud.
I'm thinking about my dad, my family.
That's your problem.
Why did you hand
your dad's deed over to that guy?
Okay, sorry.
What I'm telling you now is don't worry.
Who knows? We might win big tomorrow.
Yeah!
You should be thankful
because I told you to bet on Yayah.
He will definitely win.
What's that, Mi?
-Hey!
-Hey!
What the fuck are you doing?
-Calm down.
-Asshole!
Chill.
Heroes usually lose in the beginning.
Really?
Stupid!
What is this?
You've been jerking off too much.
Fucking yourself too much.
-Hey.
-What?
What you are doing now
Here. Take it.
This is bullshit. They rigged the contest.
Are you having fun?
You should change your job.
Don't fight anymore.
You should work at a shit factory.
You smell and look like shit.
People like this
will open their mouths for shit.
Now, are you ready? Mat Arip, you ready?
Beat the shit out of him.
Enough!
It's over, Mat Arip. Well done.
You fucking piece of shit.
-Do you want a piece of me?
-Hey, Mi!
Where's your dignity?
Do you want to beat a man when he's down?
-Enough.
-Let me get our money.
Dignity. Have you ever heard of it?
-Dignity. Learn it.
-Let's go.
My goodness.
Mat Arip.
You, me, and him were all duped.
This guy has no idea how to make money.
He grabs chump change.
It's just RM1,000, Mat Arip.
All that for RM1,000?
Hold on. Who is this now?
It's a text from Man Bangla.
-What is he saying?
-Hold on.
Okay.
It's community sport. And a big one too.
City folks are coming. This should be fun.
-Did he mention me?
-Yes.
He's asking if you want to join.
Wow, you guys really are the type.
You guys just love to lose
and waste your money.
I need you to know
that I don't have any capital.
No capital?
That's okay. It's easy.
If you lose, you pay double.
-We should think this through.
-Don't worry.
-It's double. We don't have that much.
-It's okay. Let me teach him a lesson.
Are you man enough?
Okay, I agree.
Agree?
What is this?
They changed their car.
-Hey.
-Hey!
What?
Fucking assholes.
You have that. I have the best one.
Haji Daud has been after your dad's land.
He was waiting for the right time.
Uncle Teh.
Is it true that Haji Daud
was my father's friend?
They used to be best friends,
studied under the same teacher.
Their teacher was from Pattani.
He managed many fields.
God.
God.
-Ali?
-Yes, Uncle Teh.
Didn't your dad say anything
about Haji Daud?
Not a word.
Your dad.
He's not going to say anything.
I know him.
Another thing, Uncle Teh.
When did Haji Daud become a money lender?
In the '80s, if I'm not mistaken.
It's normal for a rich guy
with lots of money.
He'd find poor people.
Those who wanted to send
their kids to university.
Those who wanted to go on a pilgrimage
but didn't have the money.
He'd lend money to them.
Then he would set a high interest rate.
Daud.
I win!
Fuckers! Come and fight me
if you're a real man.
What's with the cursing?
Learn how to accept defeat. Why so angry?
What's all this?
You're all in it together to fuck me.
Why did you change your car?
How do we settle this?
He said it himself. Pay double.
Motherfuckers.
Mat Arip, a promise must be kept.
I gave you a chance earlier
since you didn't have money.
Now, give me your car keys.
It should have been me who won.
If it wasn't for that fucker,
I would have won.
What's with all the cursing, asshole?
A promise is a promise.
-Lighter?
-I don't have one.
-Give me a lighter. Let me burn this car.
-Motherfucker!
You're not doing this fairly.
Get in. Let's go!
-Hey, asshole! Go!
-Damn it!
You stay here. Everyone else, follow me.
Haris, let's go.
People like that can escape
men's punishment,
but God's law is inescapable.
That's right.
-Peace be unto you, uncle.
-And unto you.
What is it, Dad?
Will Mat Arip ever come back?
Hey, you can't chase this tiny car?
I'm heading to the toilet.
Those who want to follow, come.
-Hey!
-Mat Arip!
You made a promise
and you're walking away?
Why would you run back to your house?
You're really asking
for a beating, aren't you?
Come on.
-What's all this?
-Nayan.
It's nothing.
It's just that your son
took part in a race.
Then he lost.
After losing, he ran away.
Without paying a single cent.
We're here to claim what's ours.
Is that okay?
Mat Arip?
I'll take your car now.
We shall meet at the DMV tomorrow.
Peace be unto you.
You're brave in front of your family.
Motherfuckers.
Chill, Mat Arip.
What's with you?
Hey.
Go home, now!
Our family is not merely living
for the love of wealth
but for love of a family.
That kind of love comes
without having to ask.
Nurture this bond between us
before we leave this world.
Ali.
What do you want?
I don't think your brother
can pay off his debt.
So do you want my dad
to pay it with his land?
It's good that you understand.
That is all I wanted to say.
Remember it well.
Let's go and get something sweet.
Let him enjoy his moment.
Where is Mat Arip?
He's in his room.
Mat Arip, come and eat.
Have a seat.
Where are you going all dressed up?
Do you want shaved coconut?
Where are you going?
To the Road Transport Office.
That's far.
How are you getting there?
I'm going by bus.
Is Mi Piang going with you?
Mat Nod said he wants to sell his car.
For around RM3,000.
I don't know if it's still available.
Did he sell it, Fatimah?
It's still parked in front of his house.
It's a good car.
The engine works fine,
and the body is not rusty.
The air conditioning is cold,
and the car has leather seats.
It also has a 1.6-liter engine.
I'm not sure what type it is.
If we don't have anything to do
in the evening,
let's go and check out the car.
That's enough, Dad.
There's no need to get him another car.
Let him walk or take the bus.
Let him feel it.
If we cook rice and we get distracted,
the rice is ruined.
We deserve a second chance
even though we messed up.
No matter what, we're still a family.
Are you going already?
I'm leaving.
Do you have money for the bus fare?
Hold on.
Here.
For the bus.
If you can't get a bus, take a taxi.
Take it.
You can use the rest for lunch and tea.
I'm leaving now.
Are you serious?
Cut it if you think you can.
You have this fish.
Fish curry sounds great.
Hold on.
Is it done?
It's all done.
We're waiting for the papers.
Mat Arip?
Where are you going?
I'm heading home. Why?
Do you want to give me a lift?
Wow.
Do you think I'm a taxi?
If you want to race again, let me know.
I'll be at the usual spot.
Tam. Whose car is that?
Wake up!
It's noon, and you're still not up?
What's wrong with your life?
I've settled the car thing.
See you at the bus station.
Fatimah?
Fatimah, what did you buy?
It's like talking to a fish.
What do you want?
Your brother has to pay off
his debt today.
What if he doesn't pay?
If he doesn't?
Then you will have to pay, Fatimah.
Freeze.
You're so fucking late.
You turned off your phone.
I missed so many buses because of you.
What is making you so angry?
I'll go and chase the bus for you.
I'll bring anything that you want today.
Let's go!
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
-Hey!
-Hey! Where are you going?
What did you say? Come here.
I want to go home now.
What time does this bus leave?
-In half an hour.
-Why?
-I want to go and eat.
-No need. You need to flatten your belly.
-Just get a drink.
-Okay.
-Can you do that?
-Sure.
-Go buy yourself a drink.
-Okay.
See?
-Get on. What are you waiting for?
-It's hot.
Ali.
I keep telling you.
Why are rich guys like you still fishing?
Just go to the market
and buy some lobsters.
What do you want?
I'm here to tell you
that today is the last day.
Your brother has to pay off
his debt toHaji Daud.
Mat Arip!
Mat Arip!
-What's with you?
-Mat Arip!
-Go to the back, Mi.
-There's nowhere left to go.
Even if you want to be a crook,
you should have class.
If you want to be a pig,
make sure its worth it.
-If this is what you're offering
-What?
-You're not worth the smell.
-Bitch!
-Uncle Anjang.
-Yes?
-Fatimah is in trouble.
-Where?
-Over there.
-Let's go, quick!
Oh no!
Assholes.
Hey!
-Mi, run!
-Okay!
Motherfuckers.
Hey!
Fatimah!
Enough! Let's go home.
That's enough, Fatimah.
Get a hold of yourself.
Those assholes were asking for it.
You go and send her home.
They might be back.
Okay.
Hey!
Bring him.
Go!
Hey!
Remember well.
Oh my God.
-Ali.
-Yes.
-Are you okay?
-Are you okay?
Okay.
My goodness.
They went after Fatimah at the market.
They love harassing people.
It's what they do.
Come, Ali, Fatimah. Let's go home.
Are you okay, Uncle Mat?
It's nothing, just a bunch of kids.
Why can't I reach his phone?
Where are you, Mat Arip?
Why isn't your brother back yet?
Dad.
I--
Ali.
-Where are you going?
-I'm going to look for Mat Arip.
What happened to him? Did he call you?
Did he tell you where he is?
I don't know.
That's why I'm going to look for him.
Dad.
They came after me at the market.
Ali too.
They might go after Mat Arip too.
Go and bring him home.
Okay. I'll go now.
Where do I look for Mat Arip?
Where did you go?
Hey, Mi.
Shit. Hold on, Ali.
Hold on. Stay calm.
Where is Mat Arip?
I
Maybe he
Where is my brother?
Your brother? Who?
Mat Arip.
Who the fuck is Mat Arip?
Hey.
Go fuck yourself.
I don't want to see your face.
Go home now. This place is not for you.
He's looking for Mat Arip here.
We don't even know who Mat Arip is.
Look. He's still standing there.
You want to be fucked up, don't you?
Is he here?
This is bad.
Let's go.
Ali.
Okay.
-Where?
-They are all in there.
You go in. I'll wait here.
I get very thirsty
when I'm in places like this.
It's good that you came.
Why don't you go and dance?
Where is Mat Arip?
Hey, do you know Mat Arip?
Do you know Mat Arip?
Hey!
I think he's fucking dead.
-Asshole.
-Hey!
Where is he?
At the factory.
Dear God.
Hey!
Ali.
People do not know the rights
and wrongs.
"The right has come,
and all that is wrong will be gone."
"The wrong will truly be gone."
The right shall remain right.
All that is false will fade away.
They used to be best friends,
studied under the same teacher.
Once they finished studying,
the teacher gave them gifts.
He made Haji Daud his son-in-law.
Your father was given a piece of land.
But
Haji Daud was greedy. He wanted it all.
He wanted the teacher's daughter
and also the land.
I was smitten by your dad's shy nature.
He also fell for me.
Haji Daud was angry.
Your dad wanted to repay my good deeds.
After that
DEED
Mat Arip!
You're all bloody. Mat Arip, are you okay?
Our heritage,
our dignity.
Surrender.
Walk alone.
If you fall, get back up.
Get up and run, Son.
Success comes not just
because of our own efforts
but through
the prayers of those who love us,
which strengthen our relationship
with the Creator.
I know.
Everyone is looking for me.
IN MEMORIAM
Subtitle translation by A Samad Hassan
-Ali!
-Ali!
-Get it.
-Get it.
Hey!
Goal!
-Goal!
-Goal!
Goal!
Block him.
-Just go home!
-Do you even know how to play?
Hey! What did you do to my brother?
-Just go home!
-Go home!
Just you wait.
-That's enough! You cheated!
-Enough.
Go home.
Men came from the land.
Therefore, walk on it with humility.
Before you are withered by time.
The land will bring you wealth
if it is well taken care of.
Yet it can also lead to conflict and war.
One without an end.
Dad, come and eat.
I bet that kid is still asleep.
Mat Arip is getting worse.
It's your fault, Dad.
I've been telling you.
You shouldn't be too soft on him.
You've been pampering him too much.
That
When is Suyop's kid's wedding ceremony?
I forgot where I kept the invitation card.
You're not listening.
I'm talking about Mat Arip here,
yet you're changing the subject.
Tell me.
When did you realize the deed was missing?
Yesterday.
No doubt, it has got to be him.
I saw him going into your room,
then he left in a hurry.
Fatimah, if he really took the deed,
what would he do with it? Sell it?
It's not like he has the right to sell it.
Even if he takes it to the land office,
they will still ask for my permission.
I know. I get that part.
But I'm worried about his attitude.
Why is it so bad?
Peace be unto you!
Who are those people at your house?
Are you having a feast?
Who?
-Peace be unto you!
-And unto you.
Have you no manners?
Are you guys animals?
Coming into someone's house uninvited.
Kicking their front door in.
Get out! I said get out!
Be patient, Fatimah. Uncle.
Fatimah. Where is your brother?
Why are you looking for him?
Mat Arip owes us.
Mr. Nayan, you listen here.
Your son, Mat Arip, is a gambling addict.
He likes to gamble
but doesn't have the money.
Last night, he made a bet
on a fight in Changlun.
He said that if he won,
he'd pay back all his debts
to Haji Daud, but he lost.
Twenty-thousand ringgit!
Plus, the interest is increasing.
Your son is like a magpie.
Runs his mouth all the time.
When he borrowed, he promised heaven,
but goes missing when he got the money.
He pawned the deed to Haji Daud.
He said he would come and pay it off.
That's enough!
Give the deed to me.
I said give it to me.
He owes you, so he should pay it.
Why does my dad have to pay?
Fatimah! Can you not interrupt us
while we are talking?
We are having a discussion
with your dad right now.
It's okay. Listen here.
Let us try and work something out.
What are you going to do?
Do you have the money to pay?
Let's go to the land office
and transfer the name.
Give it here! Give me the deed.
Give it here!
Fucking bitch!
Are you okay, Dad?
What's wrong with you?
We came here as guests,
but she treated us like animals.
Guests, my ass!
You almost broke down my door,
tore my house apart.
I'm going to kick your ass again.
We've got morals. We've got our ways.
If there's a problem, we can discuss it.
What's your name?
Mohamad Arip bin Nayan?
Take this agreement and read it.
I don't care who you all are.
Descendants of Lord Nayan,
the gods, or Dracula.
The debt must be paid.
I'm speaking plainly.
It's simple and easy.
I'm giving you one week.
Remember! One week.
Mat Arip, pick up the phone!
It's your sister.
Pick up, quick!
Here, answer the phone.
MY BELOVED SISTER
You don't need to call him anymore.
Why are you calling him?
Dad, it's like this.
I really need to ask him about the deed.
Didn't you see
who had the deed this morning?
Why are you still calling him?
I know why they want you to go home.
They want your blessing
for me to marry your sister.
Okay, don't be mad.
You don't have to get mad.
Is this how you're going
to be as my brother-in-law?
Alright, chill.
Explain it to me and let me understand.
Why do they want you home?
They want me to face my dad.
Mat Arip is your little brother.
He is our family's problem.
We can solve this on our own.
The main concern now is Haji Daud.
He's a crook.
Even if I hadn't pawned
the deed to Haji Daud,
he's been after my dad's land
for a long time.
Look at other people's lands.
He took them all.
That's right! He grabbed them all.
Ngah Jusoh, Wan Timah,
Din Gajah, Mok Ganu.
He owns them all.
Damn right!
Yes, you're right. Haji Daud has been
targeting our land for a long time now.
If we don't give him any chance,
they wouldn't be able to take it.
Haji Daud has the perfect opportunity now.
Who gave it to him?
Mat Arip, our own brother.
We can't just sit around and do nothing.
Do you think I'm going to let it happen?
Sit here silently without doing anything?
I'm your father.
I have my own ways.
I know what needs to be done.
Be patient, Ali. God is testing us.
He is testing us
to know the extent of our faith.
I don't know what to do, Tok Malim.
Ali.
Your father is wise.
He knows how to resolve this.
If God is willing.
I don't think that crook
wants to discuss anything.
People do not know the rights and wrongs.
"The right has come,
and all that is wrong will be gone."
"The wrong will truly be gone."
Umar Al-Khattab said,
"You will never feel sad
if you know what you're looking for."
For the substance of your life
is in the grasp of God.
Your purpose, for God
and to please God.
"God is holy and all-powerful."
I see it now.
Thank you, Tok Malim.
Tok Malim
Okay?
He doesn't know how to count.
No need to count. Enough already.
-Isn't there anything for me?
-I'll get going first.
-Respect the rich people.
-Let's thank him first.
Hey.
Let them have their fun.
When those two assholes get here,
I'm going to stomp on their faces.
Why are you all pissed off?
Do you want to know why?
Those assholes cheated me.
Cheated? Tell me how.
I should have won last week.
Hold on.
Let me tell you.
Even if they hadn't cheated,
you still wouldn't have won.
You can drive your car into the sea.
What did you say?
-What did you say?
-Hey!
Go ahead and punch.
That's enough.
When he gets here,
race him and beat him.
Show him who's boss.
Unless you're all talk, I'll shut you up.
Are you still not done yet?
Hey, that's enough!
Don't make me throw
both of you into the sea.
Then we can forget about the game.
There.
Why aren't you clapping for me?
Hi.
What's with the long faces?
I can't see clearly.
Do you guys enjoy sitting in smoke?
Arip, they are getting in the mood.
Mood? What kind of mood?
The mood of being losers.
You there, be quiet.
You guys seem to be very happy.
What have you been smoking?
Hey, what are you talking about?
We don't do that shit.
You guys are still red-faced
from your defeat last week.
Enough with the chitchat.
When do we start?
I'm ready to go. What's the stake?
Pretty straightforward.
The loser gets his car burnt.
Are you game?
If I lose, not just my car,
you can burn down my house too.
I can't believe you drive a pink car.
Enough. Let's start!
Let's get started.
Community sport,
by the people and for the people.
Hey, Mat.
He thinks his piece of scrap metal
can defeat your piece of scrap metal.
Your scrap metal is beautiful.
This is a piece of cake for you.
Lands in this country,
fields of plantation
have been rezoned as cities
and given housing status.
Therefore, this is a good indication
that our economy
-Peace be upon you.
-And unto you peace, Uncle Teh.
-What are you doing here?
-There.
Council meeting.
My dad asked me to come
while he stayed home, rolling tobacco.
He's clever.
What council meeting
if we are just sitting here?
We're here to help our friends out.
Instead, this guy talks about
this land, that land.
They are planning to grab
these people's lands.
Kill two birds with one stone, Uncle Teh.
You're right.
Come on!
Open the door, champion!
Mat Arip!
-Hold on, let me go and provoke them.
-Go ahead.
You need to write this down
in your diaries.
This will be history.
What did you say earlier?
The loser gets his car burnt?
Burn his car!
Burn!
Who do you think I am?
This is Mat Arip Mat Nayan.
Enough!
I organize this for everyone to have fun.
Are you blind? He started it.
Shut up!
You won. Go home.
-Asshole!
-I said go home!
Right! Mat Arip.
Let's go.
Get lost
Don't waste time
We should do this again, assholes.
744, 745
What is this? Thai money.
So, we have
RM771.65 in total.
Is that all?
This is all I have right now.
Why didn't you answer our calls?
I've been a bit busy.
I have no intention of running away.
Then why did you move away?
Answer me!
I'm sleepy.
All you do is sleep.
You never keep me company.
Isn't this the way back to our house?
First, you borrowed RM3,000
to buy a motorcycle for your son.
Am I right?
-Yes, that's right.
-Now, where is the motorcycle?
It's gone. It was repossessed.
This is what happens to parents nowadays.
They struggle to give
their children a better life.
But in the end,
their kids make nothing of themselves.
You should have spent the money
on buying food for cows.
At least you'd be able to sell them later.
-It's not the same as you.
-Now it's like this, Mat Arip.
Why don't we turn back?
We use the money we have.
The same year, you borrowed
from Haji Daud for a second time.
It was more than before.
Fifteen thousand ringgit. What was it for?
It's for the extension
of the kitchen area.
This is how people are nowadays.
Spending based on what they want
instead of what they can afford.
Don't worry, I've done the math.
We set aside the RM20,000
and pay the crook.
We spend what's left.
The paddy field next to the main road
is yours, right?
Yes, it's mine.
-How big is it?
-Two acres.
How big?
-Six acres.
-From two to six.
There you go.
I have a bad feeling about Kahar and Yon.
They're chasing us every day.
Do they think we're going to run away?
There's no point thinking about it.
Let's just get this over with.
Tam, it's like this.
Go home first.
Tomorrow morning, dress well
and wait for me at the field.
I need to check it out first.
After that, we'll go to the land office.
We'll take a trip tomorrow.
Remember, nine in the morning.
Don't go running away.
When a dog gets its bone,
what else does it do?
They keep licking. That's all they know.
Bought a motorcycle, lost it.
Renovated the house
and now lives in a ditch.
Why don't you drive in?
Let's go.
Uncle Tam.
Uncle Tam, you must be scratching
your head so much.
Your hair is thin now.
You mind your own business.
So fierce.
-What's with him?
-I don't know.
You shouldn't be borrowing money
at your age.
Dad, let's eat.
Your brother, Mat Arip.
When he was young,
he loved playing in the rain.
He would run out and play in the rain
every chance he got.
Your mom would get
a coat hanger and chase him.
People with a high level of confidence
don't require us to find them.
-I don't like people looking for me.
-Give them the present.
It's settled, right?
Two days ago, I visited your family.
-Didn't your dad say anything?
-What is this?
I told you not to get my family involved.
Why didn't you pick up your phone?
Your brother is clever, a smart one.
He knows your mother won't do anything
if he comes running to me.
You can't go in with just your guts.
You still need your brain.
What are you guys talking about?
That kid you beat up.
He is Haji Daud's nephew. Did you know?
Even though Haji Daud is not here,
his influence is felt far and wide.
Your mother was right.
I shouldn't have pampered Mat Arip.
He's too spoilt.
It's all here.
-That's enough, right?
-Enough? Enough, my ass.
This is the initial sum.
What about the interest?
What interest?
Last month, I paid RM7,500
and now RM20,000.
RM7,500 plus RM20,000 is--
RM27,500.
Why are you shouting? We're not deaf.
When you came and signed the agreement,
did you read it properly?
When you first asked me about the loan,
I explained everything.
How the repayment works.
What happens to the interest rate
when you don't pay on time.
Did I not tell him, Mi?
You read it, right?
You must have not understood it.
I have done all sorts of work.
From farming, working the paddy fields,
hacking trees
to building houses and mixing cement.
I've done it all.
Among those, I enjoyed one.
Do you know which one?
Digging graves.
But that's in the past.
It's been a while
since I last held a shovel.
What about my deed? Can I get it?
I made a mistake.
I did a poor job raising Mat Arip.
Dad.
Mat Arip is an adult.
I'm confident he can take care of himself.
The matter we have to worry about
is Haji Daud.
Settle the debt first
and discuss other things later.
Fuckers!
-What is this?
-Mat Arip.
-Mat Arip.
-Hold on.
Mat Arip.
I don't like playing hide-and-seek,
and I don't play games.
Mat Arip!
Yes, we're leaving.
Let's go home!
It's so difficult with you.
Why can't it be easy?
There are so many things to think about.
You don't have to worry
about me and Fatimah.
We're bulletproof.
Remember to recite
ayatul Kursi after prayers.
We will be protected against
humans, demons, and jinn.
Also, don't forget to read
the ten early verses of Surah Al-Kahfi.
We will be protected against slander.
If God is willing.
God never breaks a promise, Ali.
Alright, Dad.
I'm not worried about Mat Arip.
I'm more worried about his dad.
It's not going to be easy
to get Nayan's land.
Think about it. He owes RM20,000.
That's nothing for him.
He might come tomorrow and settle it all.
Then is the deed we have in our hands
pretty much useless?
More or less.
We know he loves gambling.
So his weakness must lie there too.
There is a way.
How?
Yes.
You don't have to worry too much
about that Haji Daud.
It's bad for your health.
Now, have a drag.
I don't care about Haji Daud.
I'm thinking about my dad, my family.
That's your problem.
Why did you hand
your dad's deed over to that guy?
Okay, sorry.
What I'm telling you now is don't worry.
Who knows? We might win big tomorrow.
Yeah!
You should be thankful
because I told you to bet on Yayah.
He will definitely win.
What's that, Mi?
-Hey!
-Hey!
What the fuck are you doing?
-Calm down.
-Asshole!
Chill.
Heroes usually lose in the beginning.
Really?
Stupid!
What is this?
You've been jerking off too much.
Fucking yourself too much.
-Hey.
-What?
What you are doing now
Here. Take it.
This is bullshit. They rigged the contest.
Are you having fun?
You should change your job.
Don't fight anymore.
You should work at a shit factory.
You smell and look like shit.
People like this
will open their mouths for shit.
Now, are you ready? Mat Arip, you ready?
Beat the shit out of him.
Enough!
It's over, Mat Arip. Well done.
You fucking piece of shit.
-Do you want a piece of me?
-Hey, Mi!
Where's your dignity?
Do you want to beat a man when he's down?
-Enough.
-Let me get our money.
Dignity. Have you ever heard of it?
-Dignity. Learn it.
-Let's go.
My goodness.
Mat Arip.
You, me, and him were all duped.
This guy has no idea how to make money.
He grabs chump change.
It's just RM1,000, Mat Arip.
All that for RM1,000?
Hold on. Who is this now?
It's a text from Man Bangla.
-What is he saying?
-Hold on.
Okay.
It's community sport. And a big one too.
City folks are coming. This should be fun.
-Did he mention me?
-Yes.
He's asking if you want to join.
Wow, you guys really are the type.
You guys just love to lose
and waste your money.
I need you to know
that I don't have any capital.
No capital?
That's okay. It's easy.
If you lose, you pay double.
-We should think this through.
-Don't worry.
-It's double. We don't have that much.
-It's okay. Let me teach him a lesson.
Are you man enough?
Okay, I agree.
Agree?
What is this?
They changed their car.
-Hey.
-Hey!
What?
Fucking assholes.
You have that. I have the best one.
Haji Daud has been after your dad's land.
He was waiting for the right time.
Uncle Teh.
Is it true that Haji Daud
was my father's friend?
They used to be best friends,
studied under the same teacher.
Their teacher was from Pattani.
He managed many fields.
God.
God.
-Ali?
-Yes, Uncle Teh.
Didn't your dad say anything
about Haji Daud?
Not a word.
Your dad.
He's not going to say anything.
I know him.
Another thing, Uncle Teh.
When did Haji Daud become a money lender?
In the '80s, if I'm not mistaken.
It's normal for a rich guy
with lots of money.
He'd find poor people.
Those who wanted to send
their kids to university.
Those who wanted to go on a pilgrimage
but didn't have the money.
He'd lend money to them.
Then he would set a high interest rate.
Daud.
I win!
Fuckers! Come and fight me
if you're a real man.
What's with the cursing?
Learn how to accept defeat. Why so angry?
What's all this?
You're all in it together to fuck me.
Why did you change your car?
How do we settle this?
He said it himself. Pay double.
Motherfuckers.
Mat Arip, a promise must be kept.
I gave you a chance earlier
since you didn't have money.
Now, give me your car keys.
It should have been me who won.
If it wasn't for that fucker,
I would have won.
What's with all the cursing, asshole?
A promise is a promise.
-Lighter?
-I don't have one.
-Give me a lighter. Let me burn this car.
-Motherfucker!
You're not doing this fairly.
Get in. Let's go!
-Hey, asshole! Go!
-Damn it!
You stay here. Everyone else, follow me.
Haris, let's go.
People like that can escape
men's punishment,
but God's law is inescapable.
That's right.
-Peace be unto you, uncle.
-And unto you.
What is it, Dad?
Will Mat Arip ever come back?
Hey, you can't chase this tiny car?
I'm heading to the toilet.
Those who want to follow, come.
-Hey!
-Mat Arip!
You made a promise
and you're walking away?
Why would you run back to your house?
You're really asking
for a beating, aren't you?
Come on.
-What's all this?
-Nayan.
It's nothing.
It's just that your son
took part in a race.
Then he lost.
After losing, he ran away.
Without paying a single cent.
We're here to claim what's ours.
Is that okay?
Mat Arip?
I'll take your car now.
We shall meet at the DMV tomorrow.
Peace be unto you.
You're brave in front of your family.
Motherfuckers.
Chill, Mat Arip.
What's with you?
Hey.
Go home, now!
Our family is not merely living
for the love of wealth
but for love of a family.
That kind of love comes
without having to ask.
Nurture this bond between us
before we leave this world.
Ali.
What do you want?
I don't think your brother
can pay off his debt.
So do you want my dad
to pay it with his land?
It's good that you understand.
That is all I wanted to say.
Remember it well.
Let's go and get something sweet.
Let him enjoy his moment.
Where is Mat Arip?
He's in his room.
Mat Arip, come and eat.
Have a seat.
Where are you going all dressed up?
Do you want shaved coconut?
Where are you going?
To the Road Transport Office.
That's far.
How are you getting there?
I'm going by bus.
Is Mi Piang going with you?
Mat Nod said he wants to sell his car.
For around RM3,000.
I don't know if it's still available.
Did he sell it, Fatimah?
It's still parked in front of his house.
It's a good car.
The engine works fine,
and the body is not rusty.
The air conditioning is cold,
and the car has leather seats.
It also has a 1.6-liter engine.
I'm not sure what type it is.
If we don't have anything to do
in the evening,
let's go and check out the car.
That's enough, Dad.
There's no need to get him another car.
Let him walk or take the bus.
Let him feel it.
If we cook rice and we get distracted,
the rice is ruined.
We deserve a second chance
even though we messed up.
No matter what, we're still a family.
Are you going already?
I'm leaving.
Do you have money for the bus fare?
Hold on.
Here.
For the bus.
If you can't get a bus, take a taxi.
Take it.
You can use the rest for lunch and tea.
I'm leaving now.
Are you serious?
Cut it if you think you can.
You have this fish.
Fish curry sounds great.
Hold on.
Is it done?
It's all done.
We're waiting for the papers.
Mat Arip?
Where are you going?
I'm heading home. Why?
Do you want to give me a lift?
Wow.
Do you think I'm a taxi?
If you want to race again, let me know.
I'll be at the usual spot.
Tam. Whose car is that?
Wake up!
It's noon, and you're still not up?
What's wrong with your life?
I've settled the car thing.
See you at the bus station.
Fatimah?
Fatimah, what did you buy?
It's like talking to a fish.
What do you want?
Your brother has to pay off
his debt today.
What if he doesn't pay?
If he doesn't?
Then you will have to pay, Fatimah.
Freeze.
You're so fucking late.
You turned off your phone.
I missed so many buses because of you.
What is making you so angry?
I'll go and chase the bus for you.
I'll bring anything that you want today.
Let's go!
-Let's go!
-Let's go!
-Hey!
-Hey! Where are you going?
What did you say? Come here.
I want to go home now.
What time does this bus leave?
-In half an hour.
-Why?
-I want to go and eat.
-No need. You need to flatten your belly.
-Just get a drink.
-Okay.
-Can you do that?
-Sure.
-Go buy yourself a drink.
-Okay.
See?
-Get on. What are you waiting for?
-It's hot.
Ali.
I keep telling you.
Why are rich guys like you still fishing?
Just go to the market
and buy some lobsters.
What do you want?
I'm here to tell you
that today is the last day.
Your brother has to pay off
his debt toHaji Daud.
Mat Arip!
Mat Arip!
-What's with you?
-Mat Arip!
-Go to the back, Mi.
-There's nowhere left to go.
Even if you want to be a crook,
you should have class.
If you want to be a pig,
make sure its worth it.
-If this is what you're offering
-What?
-You're not worth the smell.
-Bitch!
-Uncle Anjang.
-Yes?
-Fatimah is in trouble.
-Where?
-Over there.
-Let's go, quick!
Oh no!
Assholes.
Hey!
-Mi, run!
-Okay!
Motherfuckers.
Hey!
Fatimah!
Enough! Let's go home.
That's enough, Fatimah.
Get a hold of yourself.
Those assholes were asking for it.
You go and send her home.
They might be back.
Okay.
Hey!
Bring him.
Go!
Hey!
Remember well.
Oh my God.
-Ali.
-Yes.
-Are you okay?
-Are you okay?
Okay.
My goodness.
They went after Fatimah at the market.
They love harassing people.
It's what they do.
Come, Ali, Fatimah. Let's go home.
Are you okay, Uncle Mat?
It's nothing, just a bunch of kids.
Why can't I reach his phone?
Where are you, Mat Arip?
Why isn't your brother back yet?
Dad.
I--
Ali.
-Where are you going?
-I'm going to look for Mat Arip.
What happened to him? Did he call you?
Did he tell you where he is?
I don't know.
That's why I'm going to look for him.
Dad.
They came after me at the market.
Ali too.
They might go after Mat Arip too.
Go and bring him home.
Okay. I'll go now.
Where do I look for Mat Arip?
Where did you go?
Hey, Mi.
Shit. Hold on, Ali.
Hold on. Stay calm.
Where is Mat Arip?
I
Maybe he
Where is my brother?
Your brother? Who?
Mat Arip.
Who the fuck is Mat Arip?
Hey.
Go fuck yourself.
I don't want to see your face.
Go home now. This place is not for you.
He's looking for Mat Arip here.
We don't even know who Mat Arip is.
Look. He's still standing there.
You want to be fucked up, don't you?
Is he here?
This is bad.
Let's go.
Ali.
Okay.
-Where?
-They are all in there.
You go in. I'll wait here.
I get very thirsty
when I'm in places like this.
It's good that you came.
Why don't you go and dance?
Where is Mat Arip?
Hey, do you know Mat Arip?
Do you know Mat Arip?
Hey!
I think he's fucking dead.
-Asshole.
-Hey!
Where is he?
At the factory.
Dear God.
Hey!
Ali.
People do not know the rights
and wrongs.
"The right has come,
and all that is wrong will be gone."
"The wrong will truly be gone."
The right shall remain right.
All that is false will fade away.
They used to be best friends,
studied under the same teacher.
Once they finished studying,
the teacher gave them gifts.
He made Haji Daud his son-in-law.
Your father was given a piece of land.
But
Haji Daud was greedy. He wanted it all.
He wanted the teacher's daughter
and also the land.
I was smitten by your dad's shy nature.
He also fell for me.
Haji Daud was angry.
Your dad wanted to repay my good deeds.
After that
DEED
Mat Arip!
You're all bloody. Mat Arip, are you okay?
Our heritage,
our dignity.
Surrender.
Walk alone.
If you fall, get back up.
Get up and run, Son.
Success comes not just
because of our own efforts
but through
the prayers of those who love us,
which strengthen our relationship
with the Creator.
I know.
Everyone is looking for me.
IN MEMORIAM
