Nobody (Singapore)

Don't let this happen again!
Hey, you!
Make sure this doesn't happen again.
Understand?
I'm talking to you!
Yes, Mr Kang. You have my word on it.
Hi, sir.
Boss.
We have a problem, Boss. Outside.
I'll come with you.
I'm needed outside.
I'll come along.
Oh, all right.
This way, Boss.
-Step back! -Oh, sorry.
Bring it up.
Boss
Hey! All of you, get back to work!
Everyone, back to work!
Hey, you over there.
Yes, you. Bring it up.
I said, bring it up.
Hey! Do as Mr Kang says.
Open it.
Come on, open it.
Come on!
Open it!
I'll call the police!
Call the police?
Use your brains.
If this goes public
would anyone want to live here?
You wouldn't dare to live here, even for free!
Get rid of it.
Why the heck did you push it back in?
Burn it! I want you to burn it!
But, Boss
if we burn the body
the police will never find her.
Her family could be looking for her.
Do as I say. You hear me?
Do as Mr Kang says!
Hurry up, you idiot.
-This must not get out. -OK.
Hey.
Burn it.
Burn it.
Hey!
Hurry up.
Bloody hell.
I don't know you
but you're someone's daughter too.
You're so young.
Poor thing.
Whatever happened to you
I hope you didn't suffer.
Is this better?
Are you done yet?
I'm almost done with my cigarette.
Hurry up!
The whole world's waiting for you!
Bloody hell! Don't sneak up on me.
I nearly wet my pants.
Is it done?
Let's go.
-The water is nice and cold. -Yeah.
Where's Peng?
Look at this travesty.
He's wearing a sarong.
Hey, Peng. You're wearing it wrong.
Roll it up. Lift it, lift it.
What's the matter?
What's wrong? Backache?
-Yeah, it's sore. -Here, let me.
-What are you doing? -No good?
Let me show you how it's done.
Face forward.
Wait wait.
-Now that's a proper massage. -OK.
I'm ready.
Do it properly.
Do this side.
Hello?
Hello. Xixi, is that you?
Papa!
Why are you still up?
When are you coming home, Papa?
Soon, I'll be home soon.
So when is that?
Xixi, is Grandma home?
She's doing the dishes.
You haven't been bullying Grandma, have you?
Of course not! I've been a good girl.
I even help out with the housework.
That's my good girl.
Both Mama and I are working overseas.
You have to take good care of yourself
and Grandma too, all right?
I know.
Oh, Grandma wants to talk to you.
-Hello? -Son?
Hi, Ma.
How have you been?
I'm fine. And you?
Have you been eating and sleeping well?
Please! No please!
-No no! -Grab her!
Grab her!
Peng Peng.
Did you burn the body?
What?
The girl did you burn her body?
Yes, I've burnt it.
-You did? -Yes, I did.
OK can't be too careful about this.
The consequences can be dire.
Hey, Arup. Wake up.
Is that my singlet you're wearing?
My singlet
Oh, you mean singlet?
Did you take mine?
Why would I take your singlet?
-It's outside on the clothesline. -What?
It's on the clothesline outside.
It's not there. I can't find it.
Is this one of your pranks?
I bet it is.
Who would have taken your singlet?
Not this again.
Hey.
This is his doing.
Do you like this?
Boss.
We get the same food every day.
This food is no good.
That's good. You're getting the good food.
Hey.
You think this is a hotel?
Would you eat this?
Would you?
Do you know who you're talking to?
-Hey! -Boss
Whoever complains I'll dock his pay!
Arup. This month, minus $50.
Boss he didn't mean it.
You don't like it? Don't eat it then!
Boss
Someone, help!
Boss?
Boss?
Hey, Boss?
Peng
Wake up, Peng
Come with me.
Here, follow me.
What is this?
What is this?
You
pulled it out? Huh?
Did you pull it out?
You're an idiot, Peng!
Why did you do that?
Did you burn the body?
I'm going to tell Lim.
Did you burn it?
Why didn't you burn it, Peng?
She's going to come back.
She's going to kill everyone here.
Do you understand me?
Tomorrow
you'll take me to the body.
We'll dig the body out. OK?
OK?
You're such an idiot!
Peng.
Are you OK?
I'm fine
Don't worry.
Don't worry, I'm OK.
Here. I buried her here.
What are you waiting for?
Start digging! Dig!
Where's the body?
Where's the body, Peng?
Where is it?
I buried her here! I swear!
I really did I swear.
I'm going to tell Lim.
No don't tell Lim!
Please please don't tell Lim!
Hey.
Where's the Malay guy?
Hey! Where's Saiful?
Hell, I bet he skived off.
Mr Kang.
Begin piling next week.
That's not possible, Mr Kang.
Not possible?
For you or me?
No, I mean we just got the materials
I gave you this job
because you said you could handle it.
Now you're telling me it can't be done?
There are safety concerns here.
The foundation isn't stable enough yet.
Aren't you the one
who drew up the work schedule?
Yes.
So what will it be?
I'll get it done.
Hey! No days off for the next two weeks.
Overtime!
Everyone must work overtime
for the next two weeks, you hear?
Boss. Overtime?
Hey, sit down and shut up.
No, Boss no break for two weeks?
Sit down.
No more work, more
Illegal! This is illegal, Boss.
Hey! Shut up and sit down!
Boss.
No no break?
Where are you from?
Where do you come from?
-Me? Thanjavur. -Thanjavur.
You're going back to Thanjavur tomorrow.
But why?
You are fired!
-Why? -For being lazy and rude.
When I give you a chance to work in Singapore
you work hard.
Now, get lost.
Boss no, Boss. I
I have a family back home.
You should have thought of them
before you opened your mouth.
Terminate his contract.
You, pack your stuff and get out of my sight.
-Boss -Do you understand?
Boss
All of you.
If you work hard in Singapore
you will make money.
Only lazy people complain.
Don't be like this worthless lowlife.
-You hear me? -I'm not a worthless lowlife.
-What? -I'm not
Say that again.
I said, I'm not a worthless lowlife!
Hey, Peng!
I do not want to see these two schmucks again.
All of you here are nobodies.
Nobodies!
Can't you see I need some peace and quiet?
Turn the damned thing off!
Hey, honey.
What are you up to?
I have a bottle of 1978 Romanée Conti.
Come over and have it with me.
Of course it's not too much for two.
Hang on, I have another call.
Hello?
Dad.
It's all going smoothly.
Don't worry.
I'll report back to you tomorrow.
OK.
I know. Bye.
Hey, honey.
Hello?
Hello?
Bitch.
Anna!
A wine glass, this is a champagne glass!
How many times must I tell you?
Are you stupid or what?
I want it rare. Anna!
I want it rare! Why is it well done?
Do it again.
And I don't want so much sauce.
No sauce!
No sauce!
Sir, dinner is ready!
My brother might have been an asshole
but he didn't deserve to die like that.
We'll be flying back from Shenzhen
to plan his funeral.
If there's anything I can help with
please let me know.
Just finish the project as soon as you can.
We're at a loss here
without Mr Kang at the helm.
I'm sure that's not true.
You've been an indispensable help
to our family all these years.
I'm just doing my job.
You're the only one we can count on now.
But the responsibility is too
Name your terms.
I'll see what I can do.
If all goes well
I'll make you the main contractor
for our next project.
My younger brother, Yang
will take over this project.
See you in two days.
What?
What happened?
What happened?
Boss. It was the girl.
We we went looking for the girl.
What are you talking about?
This is all my fault.
I shouldn't have pulled the nail out.
Shut your mouth.
Burn the body.
Boss.
We should call the police.
Hey!
Go, go scram!
If you call the police, I'll tell them
the two of you killed Saiful.
I gave you a second chance.
Would you rather I send you home?
Hey.
Do you want to be sent packing?
Burn it.
Burn the body!
Burn it!
Papa, are you all right?
Xixi
Why are you crying?
Can you fix this?
Can you fix this?
Shush!
Something terrible happened here.
She was raped and tortured
by a bunch of heartless brutes.
She looked older than her age.
She died with child.
They hammered a nail into her neck.
So she wouldn't come back as a pontianak.
You!
You removed the nail and woke her!
Don't you know?
A child spirit is way more vicious
than an adult spirit.
-Don't you know that? Don't you? -No
It wasn't me!
Can you fix this?
I can pay, I'll pay you more.
More money.
Of course.
I have seen what I need to do.
I need to drive another nail
into the back of her neck.
You bloody bastard!
-I knew it was you. -No Boss!
I didn't do this
The nail
The nail!
Plunge it into her neck!
Do it, you idiot!
-Let her off, Boss. Please! -You idiot!
Peng!
Hey, Peng!
Peng!
I've brought you some good food.
Wake up and eat.
Peng.
I've brought you your daughter too.
Is Peng going to be all right?
Yeah, it's just a mild concussion.
Nothing serious.
-The little girl! -No lie down.
-I have to find her! -Find who?
My boss will kill her!
You were alone.
No you have to lie down.
Lie back down just lie down.
I'll be right back.
Don't let this happen again!
Hey, you!
Make sure this doesn't happen again.
