ALL CHARACTERS, INCIDENTS,

WARNING: THIS FILM

CONTAINS SENSITIVE CONTENTS

THAT SOME PEOPLE MAY FIND

OFFENSIVE OR DISTURBING.

I choose to love You in silence, My Lord.

Because in that silence,

I have you for my own.

But my silence was disturbed

by Your hypocritical followers

who are hiding behind the religious mask.

This country and us, Muslims,

are facing the same problems.

The failed democratic system.

An economic system that is full of usury.

A corrupt parliament.

Depraved political parties.

They're taking advantage

from innocent people.

- Do you know why?

- Excuse me, could you move for a bit?

Because they're deviating

from Sharia principle.

- Our democratic system is corrupt.

- Ma'am.

God forgive us!

- This is my proposed method

- If we keep using this corrupt system

- to strengthen the lower class

- the people will suffer.

Through the microeconomics approach.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Could I ask a question?

Yes.

So what's the solution?

Does anyone want to answer that?

Go ahead, Kiran.

We have one solution.

We have to return to the Qur'an and Sunnah

as our guidance.

Wa iz qaala rabbuka lil malaaa'ikati

innee jaa'ilun fil ardi khaleefatan.

"Remember when your Lord

said to the angels.

'I'm going to place

a successive human authority on earth.'"

That's the answer. That's it.

This is according to the Hadiths

of the Prophet Muhammad.

"I have left two matters with you.

As long as you hold onto them,

you will not be misguided."

They are the Qur'an

and the Sunnah of His Prophet.

Mr. Sandi, you are strongly

against the sexual violence bill

that has been introduced since 2019

by National Commission

on Violence against Women.

- All right.

- Nice.

Our party is against the bill

because they don't include

extramarital affairs.

Meanwhile, it is mentioned

in our Criminal Code chapter 488

including the punishment.

So we're more inclined

to use the Criminal Code, instead.

Hi.

- Hi.

- Kiran.

So there isn't any overlap.

Mr. Sandi.

Not here.

I've booked a perfect room for us, okay?

What?

There's nothing wrong

if a member of Parliament

has a meeting in a place like this.

Let's go upstairs.

- These cards are all crap.

- My turn.

This one too.

I don't understand.

The price keeps going up.

Me neither.

I didn't come up with the price.

Hey! Here, have candies!

Share them with your friends. Don't fight!

VOTE ALIM SUGANDA FOR MAYOR

Hi, Kiran. Where are you heading to?

- Five pieces?

- Yes.

- What is it?

- Is that Kiran

- from the Islamic boarding school?

- Yes.

She looks different now.

Because she used to live

with that woman, Ami.

Ami?

Ami, the woman from the upstairs?

We've warned you.

I lost count already.

Four times. I saw you bring men

into this house four times.

Or is this salon just a cover-up

for your prostitution business?

Who's that?

Why do you keep ladyboys here?

You are male, right?

You're supposed to be an imam

when we pray in the mosque.

- God forgive us!

- Sir.

Men should not wear a skirt!

- Please.

- Hey.

This is our last warning.

Don't blame me

if something happens to this place.

- Let's go.

- Come on.

How stubborn.

Why don't you move into my apartment?

I hate to see them keep harassing you.

She's right.

Please, let's leave this place.

Don't say that.

Not everyone is as lucky as you.

Why not? I've learned everything from you.

I hate to see those hypocrites

talking behind your back.

I don't mind.

I'm used to it.

I've been hearing that

since I was a teenager.

They call me a sl*t,

a hooker.

Hey.

Let's eat out.

I'm craving beef curry.

After that, you have to come with me.

- Where?

- You know where. Stop playing dumb.

I have prepared it. Someone just paid me.

I thought you had plans with

What's his name again?

- Tomo?

- He cancels the plan.

He's going to be a good husband

for tonight.

He takes off his professor's mask?

Okay, everybody! Let's have a good time!

It's a happy time!

Happy, happy all the time!

Hey, sir.

Darling.

Where were you last night?

And where were you last night?

I've been waiting for you.

Thanks, sir.

Stop calling me sir.

Only my students call me that.

But you're my special student.

Just tell me what you want.

You always know what I want.

I want something.

But this time, I want something different.

What's that?

This is just a cheap wine.

How about we drink it together?

What's this?

It tastes weird.

After tonight,

your booking will be flooded

by men like Sandi.

- Hey!

- God forgive us

You're assaulting a woman!

Hey!

What's going on here?

They're trying to steal our spot.

He's lying.

We usually use this place

for the Qur'an study club.

If you want to study Qur'an,

do it in the mosque, not here.

Or maybe the mosque congregation

rejected you?

- Why, you

- Stop!

Enough.

Watch your language.

Are you in charge of this club?

Why are you insisting

on using this corridor?

We usually study here every Thursday.

Our members already know

that this is our spot.

But we don't mind finding another place.

No, keep this place.

We'll find somewhere else.

I know radical groups like you

love secluded places.

- What did you say?

- Enough.

Enough!

Hey!

Listen.

From now on,

this place is off-limits for any group.

Now leave. Come on.

- Come on.

- You don't have to tell us twice.

This place reeks.

Morons.

Let's go, guys.

You.

You're a bright student,

you always get good grades.

But you always failed

to submit your assignment on time.

If you keep doing that,

I could disqualify you

from the mid-term exam.

Please don't do that.

I'll turn in the assignment

this afternoon.

Don't forget,

this facility belongs to the campus.

This is not a public area.

Don't forget to turn in the assignment.

- Peace be

- Peace be upon you.

Mom?

How come you're using a video call?

Whose phone is this?

Your dad insisted on going to the mosque

to borrow Mr. Heru's smartphone

to video call you.

Peace be upon you, Kiran.

You remember Mr. Heru,

- the imam of our village, don't you?

- Come inside.

Even though your dad

is not supposed to take long walks.

- Let me see.

- Dad!

I miss you, Kiran!

Dad, you're not supposed

to take a long walk to the mosque

with your condition.

What if your condition gets worse?

I feel much better already

by talking to you.

Honey.

By the way

I sent some money for your allowance.

You don't have to!

I still have enough money.

You should use your money

for your treatment.

What treatment?

I'll be more happy

if I send my money to you.

You need it for your religious endeavors

- so you'll be blessed.

- Your dad is right.

But tell your dad to do less activities

now he's not as strong as

Mom?

In the name of God.

I am content with God as my Lord,

with Islam as my religion,

and with Muhammad as my prophet.

Whoever calls himself a Muslim

has the obligation of jihad.

When I mentioned about jihad,

I'm not talking about w*r.

You can do jihad by sacrificing wealth,

your soul, and your time

for God.

Our enemy is here.

They're already around us.

They want to divide

and deprive us of our faith.

Here's your ginger tea.

They are the infidels and Jews.

- God is the greatest.

- In the name of God.

God is the greatest.

This is the last pill.

We need to get a new prescription.

But

I already sent

all of our pension money to Kiran.

What should we do?

Don't worry about it.

Kiran's education is much more important.

Honey.

Shouldn't you be allowed to keep

your allowance as a mosque clerk

even though you're on sick leave?

Shush.

We're meant to give

to the community's mosque,

not the other way around!

INCOME, EXPENSES

Nu?

Nes?

Ami.

- Yes?

- Ami.

Sorry,

but it's about the thing

I said the other day.

Can I pay this month's rent next month?

Because

Oh, my goodness!

Hey.

Listen, Kiran.

I can understand your concern.

Your peers have also told me

about your situation.

You should've told us about your problem

before you chose to live in a brothel.

Right?

I'm sorry.

I don't want to be a burden to anybody.

My goodness.

I picked a place with the lowest lease

because my dad is ill.

You can live

with one of our friends for a while.

They won't mind.

Okay?

And one more thing.

Besides a place to live,

we can offer you a better solution.

This is a good news.

Ustad Abu Darda,

the leader, and the role model

of our organization

He wishes

to marry you.

My goodness. Thank God.

This place

belonged to him.

This is your first time here, right?

God is good.

He gives you His blessings

on the day you come here.

I hope everybody's okay. We're flexible.

But don't forget

to send us the invitation.

- Of course, I won't forget.

- Oh, my goodness.

Look at how happy this future bride is.

Congrats.

Thanks. I hope you're next.

Amen.

How about your master's degree?

Are you going to still pursue it?

I don't know. I hope he lets me study.

Of course he will. Why wouldn't he?

Alim is a great leader.

That hurts. Oh, no.

- I'm sorry.

- Don't.

Stop.

Let me do that myself.

What happened?

You look so pale.

Are you sick?

Have you eaten?

- Well?

- Not yet.

Eat slowly or you will choke.

I have always wanted to eat this.

But I stopped myself.

Why?

I'm short of money.

You're one of my brightest students.

If you want to eat this, you can ask me.

We can eat together

while having a discussion.

I'm not kidding.

I'm also interested

in your microeconomics approach

to strengthen the economy of the people.

You're researching that subject, right?

Yes.

How do you know?

Of course I know.

That's why I'm eager to help you.

But

all of my bright female students

ended up the same.

They got married so young.

Excuse me, can you pass me the tissue?

Please, don't do that.

I haven't made up my mind.

If you're still unsure,

we can do an unregistered marriage first.

Don't worry,

I will provide for you.

And your family.

Peace be upon you too.

Are you there already?

Yes, can you buy one for me?

But don't get the one

that looks like Mrs. Ani's.

Mrs. Ani.

You know, the wife

of one of our representatives.

Yes, that one.

Hello, peace be upon you. Who's this?

Hello.

I'll wire it to you tomorrow.

Mr. Bambang?

Is this your new number?

Just letting you know

that I'll be there shortly.

Don't forget to share your location.

Sure.

I'll be right there

after I drop off my family.

Yes.

TAXI

This ginger tea is from Ummi Khasanah.

The first wife of Ustad Abu Darda.

Ustad Darda already has a wife?

You will be the third.

I am Ustad Darda's brother.

On behalf of our family,

I already contacted your family

in Salatiga.

What do you mean by contacting my family?

Please don't talk

before you are asked to speak.

We need to make sure

this project will be concluded

before the next fiscal year.

You can relax, Mr. Bambang.

We'll finalize the project.

Then you and your family

can get a vacation to Europe.

Yes.

This one is so quiet.

I will talk more when we're in bed.

Okay, let's try again.

On behalf of Ustad Darda,

we have contacted your family in Salatiga.

However, due to health

and financial issues

Hang on.

I thought we are only going to have

an unregistered marriage.

I don't understand

what you're talking about.

Ustad Darda offered me the option

by phone two hours ago.

- As long as he supports me financially...

- No!

You lied!

I've never called you before in my life.

But you did call me.

Kiran!

- But he did call me!

- Kiran!

Kiran!

We talked too long apparently.

It's okay.

So

how are we going to do it?

Not here.

Why?

Just because they're here?

Relax.

They're not going to try anything.

- Kiran!

- You hooker!

- Calm down.

- Tomo!

Get lost. Now!

- I have the proof.

- Kiran!

He called me.

- Kiran.

- I have the proof.

- I

- This is a defamation!

I'm not lying, I have the proof.

Kiran.

- I have the proof!

- You all should know that

- I'm not lying!

- Slandering

- You're the one who's lying!

- Is worse

- I'm not lying!

- Than k*lling.

What were you thinking?

Mr. Bambang is my colleague.

He's a close friend of mine.

You've crossed the line. You're crazy.

Do you want to talk

about crossing the line?

You did that, remember? With this!

That's not my point.

I'm talking about Mr. Bambang.

Oh, you

- That's not the point?

- Geez.

I will remind you again about our deal.

I just want a hypocrite assemblyman.

Not a pervert like!

That's not how we do this!

You have to treat all of my clients!

- And one more thing!

- What?

I didn't become a hooker for money,

nor to help you get a project!

So what's the reason?

Don't be such a hypocrite.

Don't be a hypocrite!

How did you get this apartment?

How did you get all the VVIP access?

- A luxury car? Luxury watches?

- A hypocrite?

- Everything!

- Yes! But it's you!

You're the hypocrite!

You need this apartment so you can f*ck me

without your old wife knowing!

Kiran!

We're done.

Kiran, please don't go.

- Wait.

- Enough.

- Wait!

- Enough!

Enough!

Please don't go.

I'll give you all you want.

The hypocrite assemblyman

who's hiding behind the religion.

Representatives from religious parties.

Or even their party president.

I'll give them all to you, darling.

I'll give them all to you.

Just don't leave me.

Please.

Why did you do that to our ustad?

What do you really want?

I didn't lie. Ustad Darda...

Shut up!

Who do you think you are?

You don't know anything about our ustad.

Don't try to do anything stupid.

If you dare

Hey, what are you doing in there?

Are you going to steal this spot too?

Kiran can join us later.

Now, let's get out of here.

Ami, look.

Isn't that Kiran? The girl who lives here?

Stop moving around.

- I'm trying to do your hair.

- Yes, she's the girl who lives here.

No, she's not.

Peace be upon you.

Hang on. Don't go anywhere.

This letter is for you, Kiran.

A SLANDERER, CONDEMNED IN HELL,

SUFFERED ON EARTH

Where have you been?

We're here.

Why did you go through the back door?

Do you own this place too?

Yes.

Hey.

This is my girl, treat her nicely.

Protect her.

- Okay?

- Okay.

- I got it.

- She's a good girl.

Your room will be upstairs.

Don't worry.

All you have to do is lock your door

and I'll bring you food tomorrow.

Don't go anywhere, you'll be safe here.

Aksan!

Yes?

Help her carry the luggage upstairs.

I got it.

Be careful. Watch your step.

- I know.

- Let's go.

Careful.

Perfect. Now get out.

Excuse me.

All right, you'll be safe here.

I'm going to leave now, all right?

Don't be afraid.

- Thank you.

- Don't mention it.

I'll come here again tomorrow.

- Thank you.

- Get some rest, all right?

Who is it?

Ami?

Kiran.

- Kiran, wait!

- Go away!

Go away!

Kiran.

They send you here, right?

- What do you think I come here for?

- How would I know?

Go away!

Kiran, please listen to me.

Don't tell me you don't know.

I know.

I know it too well in fact,

but I'm not like them.

Liar.

I swear to God!

We need to talk.

Don't try anything.

We're in public.

I joined the organization

after you handed me the flyer.

Did you spread lies about me?

You're used as a bad example

to our juniors.

They even said your bravery

and critical personality

is considered

an un-Islamic attitude.

And

your Islamic microeconomics proposal,

is it you who wrote it?

Yes.

Well

Your proposal

has been approved by the regional funding,

but they changed the author to Abu Darda.

Oh, my God

Kiran.

Some people do evil things

and hide behind the religion.

But no religion teaches bad things.

Is that so?

But

after I found out the real Abu Darda,

it motivates me

to prove that they're wrong.

How would you do that?

Well

I want to examine our religion thoroughly.

Like, why do people do bad deeds

in the name of religion.

I'm sorry, Kiran.

Most students should focus on their thesis

- and look for a job.

- I disagree.

For me, this is the right time for us

to question everything

until we find the real answer.

So that we won't get fooled

by the so-called ustad like Abu Darda.

I'll help you.

Kiran.

Aren't you afraid

to meet our Islamic study group?

I'm not.

Will you let them hurt me?

Am I right?

Look, is that Kiran?

Shame on her.

I'm always curious

about every interpretation

of Hadist and Qur'an.

Which interpretation? From Imam Hanafi?

- Shafi'i, Hambali, Maliki, Ja'fari too.

- Maliki.

Which one should we follow?

They have created so many interpretations.

I don't understand.

For example,

male and female touching

after they do ablution before praying.

- Does it invalidate ablution?

- Yes.

Who said that?

- Shafi'i? Hambali? Yes, they said so.

- Shafi'i?

But Ja'fari and Hanafi said it is not.

Maliki said

only if you touch them on purpose.

Which rule should we follow?

That's one example. And look at this.

Silent, please!

The different interpretations

of Islamic jurisprudence

make the people confused.

Listen.

The goal of all interpretations from imam

is to help people

so they don't get confused.

If people are confused, that means

they understand the opinions

of scholars without reason.

Just following other people.

Yes, it means that religion

must use reason, right?

Yes.

But it must be balanced

with a clean heart.

We're looking for Kiran.

There's nobody with that name

in this house.

- Liar. This is a brothel, right?

- Is it?

You're slandering us?

Now leave our property.

We just want to make sure Kiran's here.

There is nobody named Kiran here.

Just let us in.

Let us search this house

and we'll leave if we can't find her.

- Who is it?

- It's me. Open the door, hurry.

- Kiran.

- Hey.

- You have to leave this place.

- It's not safe here.

I know, we have to leave now.

Come on.

There she is!

Let's go!

- Kiran is not here!

- There she is!

Kiran!

- Search that way.

- I got it.

Kiran!

Why does God let this happen to me?

God forgive us.

Kiran,

it's not about God.

It's them who are afraid

that people will know who they really are.

But who am I?

Kiran.

People like Abu Darda,

those people,

they rely

on their followers' faithfulness.

They're afraid you would tell everybody

about the truth.

If it's his words against mine

Which one will they believe?

- She knows her dad is ill.

- Of course.

How could she do such a thing?

What do you think

the village head would say?

He's inside already.

You should be strong, ask God for help.

Peace be upon you, Dad.

This is your mom.

- Ask for God's forgiveness, Kiran.

- Mom

Ask for God's forgiveness.

- I can understand how

- That's not true, Mom.

Please let me explain.

We thought that by sending you

to a boarding school,

it would change you into a better person.

But what have you done?

What have you done to us?

No, I didn't do anything wrong.

It is clear to us.

It's clear, Kiran.

If you believe them,

then I have no one, Mom!

Enough.

Enough! You're hurting us!

Kiran My goodness.

Dear Lord.

Kiran.

Kiran!

- Dear Lord, why are You so mean to me?

- Kiran!

- Kiran! Calm down!

- What did I do

- Kiran!

- To deserve this, Dear Lord?

- Ask for God's forgiveness, Kiran!

- I'd better die!

- Kiran!

- I'd better die!

Ask for God's forgiveness, Kiran!

Ask for God's forgiveness.

Kiran, ask for God's forgiveness.

Honey.

Honey

Kiran did nothing wrong.

She did nothing wrong.

She just doesn't understand.

She did nothing wrong.

Don't yell at her.

HOSTEL

Excuse me.

Sit down.

Can we get a room?

Single or double?

The cheapest one, please.

The double room? Are you sure

you're not going to regret it?

I'm sure. That would be fine.

How many nights?

Two nights, please.

Listen, if you stay here for five nights,

I'll give you a discount.

Fine, we'll take it.

Five nights with a discount.

Give me 500,000.

Here's the key.

Follow me, please.

Please come in.

Please.

- These are your towels.

- Okay.

The toilet is there.

You can call me if you need any help.

- Excuse me. Have a good night.

- Okay.

- Here's the key.

- I got it.

All right, I'll take my leave then.

- Good night. God bless.

- Thank you.

Kiran.

I'll wait outside.

Excuse me, miss. I'm just going to

Wait.

What are you doing here?

Why aren't you in your room?

Because she's not

It's okay if you don't want her.

I can accompany you.

No

Excuse me.

Oh, man.

What a prude.

It's better to stay here,

rather than be teased by her.

Okay.

My goodness.

I don't have anyone.

You still have me, Kiran.

They're going to condemn you too.

I'm not afraid.

Because I know you're innocent.

Thank you, Rul.

For all your kindness.

I owe you a lot.

You're not.

Calm yourself down first, okay?

And stop thinking about that.

Please don't leave me.

I won't, Kiran. I won't leave you.

I

Don't worry.

I know you're afraid.

But don't worry.

You have me

and I'll be yours.

Rul?

Miss, excuse me.

Do you know

where's the tenant of that room?

He moved out last week.

Move, where?

CANDIDATE FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING

FACULTY ASSOCIATION PRESIDENDon't forget our mission.

Have a discussion with every

Islamic study group in our faculty.

Ask them what they need.

- You approach them to support us.

- I got it.

- In the name of God.

- Right.

Da'arul!

Where have you been?

Well?

Not here.

Kiran.

- Come here.

- This is not the place.

Kiran!

- Look at this.

- Kiran.

You stayed away from me

because of this, right?

Rul!

- Rul!

- Kiran!

Are you trying to get votes

from the Islamic study group?

I

I sympathized with your bravery

and I feel sorry for your situation.

But honestly

I'm afraid.

Afraid?

Yes.

I'm afraid that you'd tempt me again.

- We did that together.

- I know!

But I regret it.

I regret it.

And the money

I used to pay for that hostel

was the money I collected for charity.

You made me do it!

Are you blaming me? Are you?

You influenced me to question everything,

everything we believe in, until

Until what?

What?

You said it yourself,

you want to be with me

when everyone leaves me,

including my parents!

I'm sorry.

I can't accompany you anymore.

Excuse me.

You hypocrite!

All members of the study group

will eventually know what you did!

What if it's your words against mine?

Which one will they believe in?

Peace be upon you.

Are You punishing me?

Or are You testing my patience?

I consecrate myself to You,

but You answer it with disappointment.

My Lord

I will comply with Your game.

Hey, Kiran!

Kiran!

What are you doing up there?

Geez.

Why didn't you tell me you're coming?

That's unlike you.

No reason, I just feel like stopping by.

I brought you breakfast.

I asked the front desk

and they said you're on the roof.

And what the hell were you doing up there?

Sorry.

Use this one instead.

What's this?

Is it a camera?

No, it's not.

You can't fool me.

I've seen that many times in dramas!

Fine, I'll get rid of it, okay?

There. I just threw it in the trash bin.

You don't need to worry, okay?

But

What do you need it for?

What are you trying to do?

Nothing. It's just for my protection.

From what?

A precaution, that's all.

I don't want you to get in trouble.

I'm fine.

Lately, your behavior

has been really concerning, Kiran.

You changed so much.

Please don't feel bad for me.

I choose this.

I don't feel bad for you.

I'm just concerned.

Especially with your clients.

They're not just some random men.

Who would've thought, a person like you,

hangs out with people like us.

Have you ever wondered that

you can get your heart broken

but not because of love?

Sure.

Like how you get your heart broken

by the President you voted for?

No, she's hurt because of that man

What's his name again?

I'm not joking.

No, tell me his name, I forgot.

- I'm not joking.

- Da'arul.

My heart is broken by God.

What did you say? God broke your heart?

Tell me more.

That's deep. So deep.

So it's God's fault?

I believed in Him.

I believed in Him,

but maybe I could become a God too.

Give me that. It's not fun anymore.

You're too high right now.

You just wasted good stuff, stupid!

Don't pull my hair!

Just eat these peanuts.

You stingy b*stard!

You don't think

that humans can act like God, do you?

Show me how. Come on.

Listen.

You can be a God

as long as you're willing to explore

and look through it.

"Imitatio dei eritis sicut deus."

You can be a God.

"Scientes bonum et malum."

Soon, you will know what is good and bad.

What are you wearing exactly?

A Hijab or a Nun's uniform?

I'm f*cking serious.

No one believed what I said, right?

Then let's challenge yourself.

You said you love nature

and like to hike, right?

I'm not.

- I'm just an artist.

- Me too.

But you are.

Yes, so? What are you trying to prove?

That human can be as powerful as God!

Who are you kidding with?

Here, take your hiking gear.

- Follow me.

- Enough, put it back.

You said you're a man, so let's go!

Why are you bringing that up?

- You said you're a man.

- What the hell?

Yes, so?

What are you going to do with that?

I want to prove it to you

that humans can be as powerful as God.

- But where are you taking me?

- To the mountain!

- Come on.

- She's out of her mind.

She's crazy.

- Come with me.

- Come on.

- What are you doing?

- Hey!

- Take it.

- Where are we going?

ROOM 404. WAIT FOR HIM IN THE LOBBY

HE'S WEARING A WHITE ROSE IN HIS LAPEL

On his work visit

to Islamic boarding schools,

- Please, come in.

- Alim Suganda, a mayor candidate,

was greeted by the students

and its administrators.

This is one of his regular agenda

on the weekends.

Peace be upon you.

- Peace be upon you too.

- During the visit,

Mr. Alim was also giving out

stationeries and groceries.

No need for me to introduce myself.

You already know who I am.

Mr. Alim.

Don't call me Mister.

Just call me Alim.

But they can call me Mister.

Alim.

Cigarette?

I want something else.

How about we enjoy ourselves first?

I'm so lucky to be here with you, Alim.

Such a religious leader

who cares for his family and his people.

Tomo is right.

You're special.

What did he say?

He said

you're

a peacock.

Hey, ma'am.

Hey.

Slow down.

What?

Are you scared?

I thought you love to hike.

Let's go back. It's getting dark.

Stay here.

Hey!

Get down here!

You are mocking me, aren't you?

You said I care for my family?

I know what's inside your head.

I love my family.

I love my people!

My people!

You know that!

There's no God but the Almighty.

- Dear God,

- There's no God but the Almighty.

This body once belonged to you.

But now, I will take it back!

Look at me!

Listen to me!

Get down!

- Kiran, it's not funny!

- Hey, I'm here!

- Hey, I'm here, God!

- Get down here!

Hey, I'm here!

Show it to me, b*tch.

Show what Tomo said about you.

Enough, Kiran.

You will be my witness! Look at this!

What are you talking about?

I want to challenge God

after I served him for so long.

Snap out of it.

- I'm fed up!

- Kiran!

This body is mine.

No!

- You lied!

- I have the proof!

- I've never called you.

- I'm not lying!

You all should know that

slandering

is worse than k*lling.

I will stain this body with sins!

I will stain it with the sins

of those filthy humans.

Those hypocrites!

I know you're afraid.

Don't worry.

You have me and I'll be yours.

I know!

Listen to me!

Hey!

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, HUDAN.

GOODBYE

Where do you think you're going?

Are you in a hurry?

Sorry, but that's my lighter

you're holding.

I know.

Can I keep it? I like it.

Sorry about this.

Usually, I'm not like that at all.

But I like to try different things.

Are you leaving already?

Are you mad at me?

I'll pay you double.

I'm sorry, but I have another appointment.

With whom?

The other mayoral candidate?

Yes, how did you know?

as*h*le.

He pretends to care about the people.

What a hypocrite.

I know he'd call you.

TAXI

ALIM SUGANDA IS A GREAT LEADER

DOWNLOADING

Darling!

Mr. Tomo.

You still call me Mister. Please stop.

Do you like my client?

Isn't he something?

He is.

He told me that you left in a hurry.

Why?

Who are you going to meet with?

Do you have another schedule?

No, it's just that it was done,

that's all.

That's not how it works.

I don't want them to think I'm easy.

Baby, listen.

Alim is the most prominent candidate

for this election.

Two big parties are supporting him.

And if he wins

we can buy

a bigger apartment than this one,

the one you've always dreamed of.

You're right.

You're right.

Considering Alim and I are good friends,

I can feel it in me.

We're going to have a bright future.

We can have a big apartment,

fancier than this one.

My career in academics is going nowhere.

They no longer want to fund my research.

And my family life is quite boring, man.

Darling.

What are you doing?

Let me hear it from the start.

Listen.

You need to know that I love you.

I don't want anything to happen to you.

I will protect you with my life.

Okay?

DOWNLOADING

LESS THAN ONE MINUTE LEFHey, how about you being a good husband?

Playing a good husband is a piece of cake.

I know when to stop,

I know my wife,

and I know when to cut loose.

Right?

Hey, are you listening to me?

I'm listening.

Sorry. What did you say?

Did you even listen to what I said?

I did.

How about we celebrate it tonight?

And think about the steps

we're taking from the start.

Okay?

Stop.

Hello?

Yes.

Yes.

What?

What?

Kiran,

what have you done?

Kiran!

Are you out of your mind?

Don't you dare drag me into your mess.

You know what's going

to happen to you, b*tch!

But you love this b*tch!

I don't love you anymore!

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Kiran!

Kiran!

Kiran!

Kiran!

Kiran!

- Get in the car!

- Kiran!

Kiran!

sh*t! Kiran!

Does that hurt?

Where does it hurt?

Where do you keep that thing?

The thing that dragged you into this mess.

I thought

it's going to be that camera.

It's a long story.

What are you going to do with this?

Do you have any plans?

I have to finish what I started.

But why?

I used to be happy when I succeeded

in tearing their religious masks.

But now, I'm sick and tired

to see how they always get away with it.

They can do as they please,

including ransacking your house.

But what does it have to do with anything?

You can stop worrying about me.

I'm sorry,

but I've made my choice.

I don't want to drag anybody else

into this, especially you.

I owe you big time.

I caused you many trouble.

I need to leave.

I need one or two pieces of clothes.

One or two pieces of clothes.

I can get more on the way

to my hiding place.

Ami?

Wait, what?

Go change.

Actually,

I'm not ready

to leave

my so-called normal life here.

But I don't want to lose you either.

Now, change your clothes.

Ami

Hey!

Come here.

Where's the thumb drive?

The thumb drive! Come on!

What are you going to do with it?

Trust me. Don't worry.

But

Well?

Can you read this?

Is your e-mail the top one?

Or the bottom one?

Hey, read this.

The top one?

Or the bottom one?

Answer me!

Answer me!

You can talk, can't you?

b*tch!

The bottom one!

Nice girl.

This is more like it.

Hey.

What's the password?

What's the password?

The password.

What's the password?

d*ck.

b*tch.

What did you say?

I know you said something.

What did she do?

f*ck!

Do it.

You must have practiced this

with your wife, right?

Trying to get smart with me, b*tch?

Hey, tell me the password, b*tch!

This f*cking b*tch.

Do it.

Tell me the password!

I don't know!

What's the password?

Say it! What's the password?

This is all you got, Lord?

I refuse to die.

I will prove that persistence

can defeat death.

Hello, boss.

I ran out of ideas.

It's been three days and we got nothing.

I have nothing more to do with her.

What do you want us to do?

Continue what you have been doing.

Okay, if that's what you want.

We will do it.

Ceng,

go buy some food.

Later.

Go buy us some food.

But I'm tired.

Now!

b*tch!

Son?

Sonny?

How did she die?

- I bet she overdosed.

- My goodness.

Are you sure?

They just found her body.

What's the cause of her death?

I bet she was overdosed.

My goodness. Are you sure?

Ami!

Ami!

Dear Lord!

Ami!

Poor woman.

Hello?

Hello, Kiran?

I just want to inform you

that your dad just passed away.

Be strong.

My dad didn't treat his illness.

I know, he didn't want to

and refused to go to the clinic.

He often said

that he'd rather send the money to you

for your education

and your religious endeavors.

Your mom also told me

to keep this from you.

How strange.

You've never answered my prayer.

Instead, you take all the people I love.

I'm so sorry, Ami.

I'm so sorry for doing this to you.

HEART ATTACK

DIED WITHIN THE LAST 72 HOURS

Crying no longer makes a difference.

I hope you rest in peace.

In a realm that I know nothing about.

Farewell, Dad.

Forgive me, Dad!

Farewell, Ami.

There was an expl*si*n

near a police station.

Based on the investigation,

the expl*si*n was caused

by a suicide b*mber.

But we still haven't found their identity.

I'm sure

our town will be better with a leader

who practices his religion,

who is polite and has good manners.

This city is going to improve.

Not necessarily.

One hot tea, please.

- Okay.

- Someone who is religious,

who applies his beliefs in everyday life.

What if he's incompetent?

What we really need

is a leader who can improve our town.

Not just with the infrastructure,

but also the people.

Such as whom?

- Pramono.

- Alim.

Alim is the right man to lead our town.

Yes, right.

Here's your tea.

Aren't those your friends, Kiran?

- Your coffee.

- Of course not.

They're students,

who are still young and innocent.

While I'm

I thought they were your friends.

Mrs. Marni, can you

come here for a moment?

What is it?

Tell me, what is it?

Do you remember when I first came here?

I said I don't know

for how long I will stay.

So?

Now I have to go.

Why in such a hurry?

What's wrong?

Where are you going to go?

I have to say goodbye to you.

Please forgive me.

Thank you.

Wait.

Kiran.

Your thesis is exceptional, you're smart.

But why did you refuse to marry me?

Kiran.

Kiran, look at me.

You have to control your anger.

Don't lose hope if things

don't work the way you want.

Kiran!

I want you, Kiran!

Kiran, you still have me

and I'll be yours.

Kiran.

Kiran.

Kiran!

Kiran!

Kiran!

Kiran!

Kiran!

Come here, you b*tch!

- I know you want this.

- No.

- If you come near me, I'll throw it.

- Don't do it!

Hey, listen, sl*t.

Nobody wants that sh*t anymore.

It's over now.

You've ruined everybody's life,

including mine.

Nobody cares about that thing.

Come here!

Hey!

Where are you going?

Hey, sl*t, you will neither find heaven

nor hell down there.

Do you remember your last client? Alim?

He exposed my business

before I got the chance

to expose his real identity.

What about the other clients?

Do you miss your clients, you sl*t?

Sandi was sacked as a representative.

Bambang as well!

Everything is a mess, b*tch!

But your Alim is so smart.

Two big parties that support him

paid a hacker a huge amount for that.

Well, I'm not happy.

The campus no longer wants me.

No more student projects,

- no more research.

- Why did they have to k*ll Ami?

I'm doomed too!

Do you think this is crazy?

Everybody in this city is crazy!

From the lowest class

to the highest power, sl*t!

What's so funny?

You can laugh all you want.

It's their words

against their opposition's words.

What?

You have to pay the price!

Everything is a mess!

If I'm wrecked, then you should too!

Everything happened because of you!

Is that all You got?

That's it, God?

After all of that, now what?

Now what?

You left me with those hypocrites.

Are You listening to me?

Are You listening to me, God?

Kiran.

What have you done to yourself?

Dad.

If my daughter cries like this,

then it must've been really hurt.

What are you looking for, sweetheart?

All my life

I've always wanted His blessings.

But He keeps disappointing me.

And it made me furious.

It's okay if you get angry

because someone disappointed you.

But do you need

to t*rture yourself because of that?

I'm disappointed

in those religious people.

Because they're all hypocrites.

Sweetheart.

When people pray for something,

He'd give them a hardship.

Because He wants us to try our best.

And when we ask for His blessings,

He'd reward you with disappointment.

He wants to test your patience.

He knows what we really need,

not what we want.

You can't be angry

if you don't get what you want.

It will only destroy you.

But that's not Kiran I know.

Kiran is a strong girl.

I failed you.

Forgive me for being a disappointment

to you and Mom.

There, there.

What's done is done.

You still have things to do.

You have to stay strong.

Accept your destiny.

As long as those hypocrites

are still free,

I refuse to accept my destiny.

Can I go with you instead?

Shush.

Don't say that.

Not all Muslims

are hypocrites like you think.

Stop feeding your soul with anger.

You have to let it go.

Let it all go.

I think that's all I've got to say,

my sweet child.

I'll be waiting for you

in front of the gate of heaven.

Dad?

Dad?

Please don't leave me again, Dad.

Dad!

I want to go with you.

I don't want to be one of them, God.

I don't want to be scared of You.

I want to love You happily.

Without anyone forcing me.

Where I will always look for Your love

without the fear of being put in hell.

Or even with the reward

of living in heaven.

Three, two, one!

You're okay.

You're okay, Kiran. Don't worry.

My mentors here are experienced

in handling disaster victims.

Have you checked

for another victim down there?

We only found you.

Stay with us!

Kiran, stay with us!

Okay.

Today, the people of Rejo Jati Village

were shocked

by the arrival of the Detachment 88 team.

They arrested the members

of Jama'ah Dardariyah.

- God is the greatest!

- The organization is allegedly

- behind the suicide b*mb attack

- God will punish you all!

In Kertaraja police station,

three weeks ago.

By the time we air this news report,

Detachment 88 have also arrested

the leader of the organization

and he will be questioned by the police.

God is the greatest!

He will avenge you all!

God is the greatest!

And people from the village said

they are surprised

Mr. Alim, one question for you.

What is your opinion

regarding the recent suicide b*mb attack

by Jama'ah Dardariyah?

I'm going to make it clear to you

that terrorism has no religion.

And if they said

they're doing it for their religion,

they're committing slander.

The head of the Islamic organization,

Abu Darda, claimed that

they were merely doing

what God commanded,

to fight what's forbidden.

Is that also a slander?

Yes, that's slander.

In my opinion,

everyone has to do what God commanded

and fight what's forbidden.

What?

I know what you're going to say.

Everything they said

about Ustad Abu Darda is a lie.

It's a defamation.

Please forgive me, Mom.

And I believe Mr. Alim

more than I believe in you.

Save it.

I don't want to hear it.

- Peace be upon you.

- Peace be upon you too.

I thought you went to the mosque

to recite prayers.

You're too late.

Can I have a black tea?

Look, it's Mr. Alim.

- Mr. Alim.

- Awesome!

He won by a neck against his opponents.

This man is an example of a true leader.

Correct.

This is the list of questions

we've gathered.

You don't have to answer

if you don't want to.

Ms. Nana, counting down in three minutes.

Everybody, standby!

You make coffee, I'll take over this job.

Five, four

Good evening, and welcome to Ask Nana.

Here with us is the elected mayor.

I would like to invite the viewers

to watch a short video

of Mr. Alim Suganda's daily life.

Praise be to God.

Praise be to God.

Praise be to God.

Praise be to God.
