THE STORY TAKES PLACE

AT THE INDONESIA-MALAYSIA BORDER

IN BORNEO ISLAND,

HOME TO DAYAKNESE, MALAY, AND CHINESE.

FROM 1967 TO 1990, THE INDONESIAN AND MALAYSIAN MILITARY WORKED TOGETHER

WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY IN THE OPERATION TO DEFEAT

THE PARAKU COMMUNIST FORCES. ONE OF THE PARAKU LEADERS, AMBONG,

SUCCESSFULLY ESCAPED AND IS SAID TO HIDE IN THE FOREST AS A GHOST.

UNTIL NOW, THE AREA NEAR THE BORDER

IS STILL HAUNTED BY NEVER-ENDING VIOLENCE.

INDONESIA-MALAYSIA BORDER BORNEO ISLAND

-Thank you! -Sure.

Does anyone else want coffee?

-Me, please! -Okay.

What did you have?

-Coffee. -Just coffee?

Yes.

BEWARE, COUNTERFEIT MONEY

Oh my God!

BORDERLESS FOG

Excuse me, ma'am.

If we're not stopping for breakfast, have some fried snacks.

Thank you.

20 YEARS OF TRAGIC ETHNICITY CONFLICT IN SAMPIT

21 cm, sir.

21 cm closer to your side.

See? Why bother measuring?

For sure, it's your affair.

Nothing is sure.

Have you measured from the official border?

Your border point keeps changing.

But look.

His uniform.

He was clearly one of your men.

Anyone could've bought the uniform.

He might've gotten it from Sarawak.

So how?

Should I deal with this? Like always?

Let us deal with this.

And the one escaping to Malaysia hasn't been found yet, right?

Of course not. This guy, James, won't even bother looking.

The crime scene is clearly on our side of the border.

The victim is also an Indonesian.

And it's not your typical Indonesian.

There'll be a lot of people involved.

Inspector Sanja Arunika.

Ready for duty.

Inspector Panca Nugraha.

Nice glasses.

Great for Borneo Fashion Week.

Right. I guess I can let you wear them sometimes.

Please.

The head and the torso came separately from two different people.

VICTIM NO. 1, THORIQ HERDIAN

The head is identified as Thoriq Herdian.

First Sergeant. Living at the battalion headquarters.

Assigned for border patrol.

And the body, Inspector Panca?

About a month and a half ago,

we got a missing person report named Juwing.

He was a Dayak activist.

Apologize. Officer Thomas, ready for duty.

Care to explain why you assumed this is him?

Sure.

VICTIM NO. 2, JUWING

The tattoo matches. Only the Dayak have tattoo like this.

Juwing's photos are widely publicized,

including the ones where he was shirtless in a protest.

The family hasn't been summoned to verify?

What are we waiting for?

We are short on manpower.

Officer Thomas.

You stay with Inspector Sanja. I'll handle the paperwork.

Good luck.

Thank you, sir.

We found a trace of fertilizer on both the jacket and pants,

typically used in a palm plantation.

What about the head and torso?

We found something intriguing.

There are injection marks of preservative all over his torso.

Estimated time of death, a month ago.

What do you think happened?

The lesion on the back of the head is caused by a blunt object.

Maybe a rock.

And because he didn't collapse at once,

the suspect decided to hit him multiple times.

The suspect threw sand at him to fight back.

Then decapitated him to his death.

I don't think so.

He was decapitated post-mortem.

It was done after he died.

It's also very clean-cut. Two swings, at most.

Let me ask you one more time! Where's Apay Juwing's body?

You guys never get anything done. You can't even listen!

I want to see my husband, whatever his condition!

You shitty police can't silence us!

You have to do something about it.

You ignored our reports.

There's no use, Indai.

The killer must be one of them.

-Calm down. Just wait. -What?

You're satisfied now, aren't you?

Now that my uncle is finally silenced.

My poor darling.

The roof is intact.

It makes more sense that the body was up there overnight

before it finally rolled down.

The diner keeper told us that she heard a loud thud.

And you believe what this distraught girl said?

I do.

If you think so.

So the body fell down from which heaven exactly?

Have you checked this tree?

VISITORS MUST REPORT

Were you on duty on the 17th of July?

Yes, with Raymond here.

SECURITY GUARD POST MR. BUJANG'S PALM PLANTATION

Have you seen this man?

If I'm not mistaken, he is a regular at Koh Haris's drink stall.

But everyone here goes there anyway.

-Is Koh Haris still a communist? -Of course.

Once a communist, always a communist.

That's what Ambong says.

Who's Ambong?

Ambong is a communist ghost, Madam Officer.

Excuse me.

I'll bring you coffee.

-Sugar for you, Mr. Thomas? -Yes.

Is there any processing factory near the plantation?

Nothing. They were building the factory a long time ago.

But with all the corruption and fraud,

they never got it done.

Thank you.

So they mostly sell it to Sarawak, which is much closer.

Wait a second. Is that the factory you were talking about?

Yes, ma'am.

It has been abandoned forever.

Nothing but a ghost lair now.

Once or twice a month, I'm not so sure.

Sometimes, I hear girls' voices down there.

I'm sure

those are voices of kids killed during the PARAKU Communist Forces uprising.

-When did you last hear them? -I can't remember.

But if I think, it was during the full moon.

Full moon, I see.

Maybe it was a ghostly boar.

Take a look first next time. Maybe it's a real boar.

Not bad as a livestock.

Thank you for your time, Mr. Bujang. We'll just go now.

Yes. Thank you.

Mr. Raymond, thank you. We're leaving now.

Hey, Madam Officer.

I'm willing to do anything to help.

All right, sir.

If you have anything, call my number here.

Got it, ma'am.

You were right, Inspector. The branch snapped not too long ago.

Yes, snapped due to its heavy weight.

If the body was hung up there,

what for?

The suspect saw a connection between the two victims.

That's why they attached them together.

But what is it?

POLICE STATION, NANGA JUGAM REGION

Yes?

Here she is. Inspector Sanja.

Sent from Jakarta to assist us.

Hello, sir.

So this is the one.

Good afternoon, Ms. Sanja.

Very gorgeous.

Can I help you with anything?

We just want to meet you.

We want to make sure all goes smoothly and organized.

As we all know,

the case is important for our institution.

I thought we were being raided because we have too many people.

Well, I appreciate your concern.

As for the follow-up,

we can discuss it later after the investigation.

But don't worry, we'll keep you posted

through your colleague here.

About maintaining a good reputation of your institution,

it's not our responsibility.

Your dad asked me to look out for you.

"Keep an eye on her," he said.

I know you hate the special treatment.

So please, do your job well.

If it gets too much for you,

feel free to contact me.

You can slip out quietly

as you often do.

By the way,

be careful.

HAPPY GAWAI

Commander Tajau firmly rejected allegations

that his organization was involved in the riots.

Commander Tajau also emphasized that the aim of his organization

is to defend the rights of the Dayak people who are marginalized

by the current of development which does not pay attention…

If you already get a job in Sarawak, what can he do?

Just accept the offer.

Thank you, miss.

Right.

DAYAK TATOO IS NOT A CRIME, IT'S AN IDENTITY

FIGHT TO OUR LAST BREATH

Try to listen to what he said.

DISCOVERY OF A HEADLESS BODY OF INDONESIAN CITIZEN

REQUESTING IMMEDIATE REPATRIATION

What is it?

I found this.

A second notice from the Sarawak police

requesting the evacuation of the headless body

believed to be an Indonesian citizen.

Dated July 3rd. That means it has been three weeks.

Why haven't there been any follow-ups?

We didn't have the Thoriq case back then.

Why did you even have to wait for it?

Especially after this Thoriq case came up, I mean…

-I mean, why-- -Listen to me.

According to the protocol, the notice is invalid.

This Linggong guy knows better about the proper procedure.

Right. Through the consulate general,

somehow all the way to the headquarters first,

before it finally arrives here.

Very efficient.

Excuse me.

Thomas, according to your commander,

the Malaysian police tend to throw the responsibilities at us.

Does that happen often?

More times than not, ma'am.

Especially for cases they consider unpopular.

You know, shifting responsibilities to each other.

The body has already been disposed of. All that's left is this report.

You're welcome.

VICTIM NO. 3 UNIDENTIFIED MALE WITH A GARUDA TATTOO

One noodle.

Four fried rice.

Sindai, is the food ready? Arum just asked.

Almost there.

Do you want to take this to go?

No need. We're almost there. There's a lot of food there.

The receipt, please?

Aren't you going to finish that? There's still some left.

I'm done.

Are you visiting here?

No, we're on our way to work.

Where do you work, if I may know?

Sorry. What's your name?

Sindai.

All kinds of work. Sometimes, I work at a stall like here.

Sometimes as a shopkeeper and some other times,

at the plantation.

It's safe. Ambong protects us.

The spirit guardians in the forest. But they're kind.

-This Ambong-- -Sindai.

I'm sorry, but we have to go now.

Take others to the car now.

Next time, don't talk to strangers. It's dangerous.

What did she ask?

Mind your head.

Be careful.

WELCOME TO INDONESIA

You! What are you doing there?

These logs belong to our forest!

We want them back.

I'll take this as collateral.

INDONESIA-MALAYSIA BORDER MILITARY CONTROL POST, BATANG BIDAI

Silas is such a troublemaker.

He must've been brainwashed by Commander Tajau's gang.

Don't say bad things about Commander Tajau.

Why not? Even the late Uncle Juwing didn't agree with what he does.

They respect one another. Not like you.

Please cooperate with us, ma'am.

If we can get Silas to talk to us,

all these misunderstandings can be rectified.

We promise you it will be done according to the law.

JUWING, DAYAK YOUTH ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST RECEIVED GOVERNMENT'S AWARD

What law? You know nothing about our customary law.

We're still mourning and you just barged in like that.

Your law means nothing to us.

Calm down.

Try fighting a woman.

Maybe you can win this time.

Let us find Silas, sir.

Do you know where he is?

If Silas fights against Thoriq,

do you think he could win?

It's possible.

I mean, he could get away after causing the commotion.

-And Inspector… -San.

All right, San.

Never assume I can find Silas like you did yesterday if you can.

I'm sorry, Thomas.

I don't know the depth of your problem with them.

But for now, we need your expertise.

-Is he still here? -Yes. He has been here since last night.

Is it true that Silas and his gang caused the commotion at the border?

Not only that, they killed an army officer.

They're way out of line.

LET'S JOIN TAJAU'S TROOPS

Silas! Hey!

Hey!

Get down here!

Hey!

Freeze!

Get down here!

Hey!

Stop, Silas!

Hey!

Thomas, calm down.

Don't tell me this is not how you do it in Jakarta.

Shut your mouth! He's given a statement.

Calm down.

Mr. Silas Langgau…

Here, you said that you planned to steal wood logs

from the military base.

"Reclaiming."

"Reclaiming."

And you did this because of Juwing's death?

Apay Juwing's death will be avenged.

The soldier's death is a sign that we cannot stay quiet anymore.

Who gave you that idea?

Commander Tajau's group?

The late Apay Juwing and Commander Tajau didn't always see eye to eye.

But we all share the same goal.

If you're guilty, the whole village will pay the price.

At least we've done something.

And you people?

You keep ignoring our missing people reports.

I'd rather act up and pay the price

than be an ass-kisser

and then still pay the price.

Son of a bitch!

Even though Silas is still Juwing's relative,

he's more loyal to Commander Tajau, am I right?

Juwing was smart. He always found a way.

Tajau leads a radical group. It fits Silas's temperament.

Tell you what. Do you think a radical group's frontman like Tajau

-has what it takes to… -To what?

Sacrifice a martyr?

Juwing's death will enable him to bring two opposing sides together, Thomas.

So you think Silas is the one…

I'm just speculating.

Are there any other clues related to these missing girls?

Look at this place.

Who wouldn't want to leave?

-Or join a radical group? -Right.

MR. BUJANG: MA'AM, I'M ON THE GUARD DUTY TONIGHT

BEFORE THAT, CAN YOU STOP BY?

So Mr. Bujang, you're sure

the ones killing Juwing and Thoriq are two different people?

Yes, ma'am.

How do you know?

From Ambong, of course.

I'll wait in the car.

I'm curious about the late Juwing.

It seems that he was a highly respected figure here.

Not everybody thinks so.

Why is that?

From what I heard, he fought hard for the people.

Yes.

Juwing was very vocal against the expansion of palm plantations

that have been eating up the customary areas and draining the water.

However, many others accused him

of exploiting the sad stories of the Dayak community.

Use it for his own gain.

Lately, he ran to be a local parliament member.

You need something for your eyes.

-Hold on. -No need, sir. It's fine.

-I have a condition. -It's no trouble at all.

Excuse me, ma'am.

-How do you feel? -Much better.

What leaf is it?

We can't use it too often though. It's too strong.

Come on, sir.

I apologize, ma'am. It's my turn to do the night round.

No problem. Thank you very much.

-I really apologize, ma'am. -It's all right.

Who is this Ambong, really?

A superstition. Some say the spirit of the forests.

Some say he's just a human being,

a communist guerilla soldier lost in the woods.

Who knows?

It's just a local folklore.

Unlike popular ghosts like the floating head.

Do you think Ambong did it?

You should've been resting already.

Instead, you were listening to a rambling man.

Weren't you the one using his quirks for my entertainment yesterday?

It doesn't have to slow down our investigation, of course.

How thoughtful of you.

What I mean is that you need to get enough rest.

I thought you lived at an official lodging.

No. I'd prefer to rent a house downtown.

You're not wearing your glasses.

You always wear them, even at night.

My eyes are just too sensitive.

The glasses…

These glasses were doctor-prescribed.

I'm sorry.

Why did you even say sorry?

Out of habit after having had a commander for too long?

See you tomorrow.

Miss, why are we not on the main road?

Still awake, Sindai? Go get some sleep.

We're almost there.

What is it? It's fine. One of the girls woke up.

Yes.

Not too old. Just prepare the money.

Miss, I'm scared!

Just go get some sleep!

Wait, I'll call you back. Just wait, no worries.

Wait here. Don't go anywhere.

We have to get out of here.

Where are we?

Maybe you're dreaming.

We have to get out. I think the lady is up to no good.

Lock the door. Don't you get out!

THREE DAYS LATER

COMMUNITY SAFETY AND SECURITY DEPARTMENT

POLICE

Straight ahead.

All right.

A little further.

I've seen this woman before

in Malaysia.

She brought a group of teenage girls from here.

A car full of them.

VICTIM NO. 4, UMI

We've found a trove of clues on the victim's phone.

This unidentified man

might be the dead body found by Malaysian police.

Take a look. The ring and the tattoo are the same.

A Garuda tattoo.

HARIS'S DRINK STALL PALM PLANTATION POST

GARUDA TATTOO, HONEY TREE

Next, it became easier.

We found this picture among the victim's messages.

It's our first victim, Thoriq Herdian.

And hopefully, this one will mean something to you guys.

That's Mr. Agam.

A local boss man. He used to be a thug.

He runs all sorts of businesses.

-But he's still alive, isn't he? -He is.

I guess we can pay him a visit.

Hold that thought. We've got a request notice for assistance from Malaysia.

Three days ago,

at 11 o'clock or midnight Sarawak time,

an attack on this vehicle occurred.

According to witnesses,

the driver is an Indonesian named Umi, who is declared missing.

Excuse me, sir.

This woman is the victim at our crime scene earlier today.

All right. Interesting development.

We'll talk about that later.

Now, this is the top priority.

All of the passengers are children

with Indonesian passports, although they are known to be fake.

We need time to go through everything.

They're mostly under 17 years old and yet to have an ID.

Two of them were declared missing.

The Malaysians asked us to conduct the search on our side.

I want this to be the top priority. Do it.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

Sanja.

I understand how crucial your case is.

But this one is more critical.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

So what should we do? Join the search party?

No.

Why not?

Our priority now

is him.

Good afternoon, Mr. Agam.

Can we have a minute?

Hopefully, you're not in a rush.

You're new, aren't you?

Easy there.

Come to the station with me. I'll explain later.

As a good citizen, we're just going to comply.

Cholesterol.

You insist that you only know Umi through seasonal business dealings.

But after a further check, we've found an intriguing fact.

Turns out, you're quite infamous.

Illegal logging case, up until 2005.

Apparently, you were also the permit broker for the abandoned factory,

the one that eventually got abandoned.

But you quite impress me because in all these cases,

you've only become a witness

and no cases have ever been closed.

That's because I'm a good citizen.

As a good Indonesian citizen,

Mr. Agam bin Yusof, do you know anything

about human trafficking activities allegedly done here?

This.

This is my daughter's favorite pen.

When I travel far and for a long time,

my daughter asks me to do some magic tricks

using this pen.

Sanja.

What grounds did you arrest him on?

Because he took a photo with the victim?

He's the person of interest, at the very least.

He's in the loop.

That's not enough to make a fuss at his house!

All right, we might have overreacted. But there was a discretion.

He tried to bribe us.

So what's your plan?

The attack in Sarawak has turned this into a joint case.

Indonesia and Malaysia share the same interests now.

Let's coordinate with them and make it official.

That can be arranged.

But first, there's a child from the van

named Jenta.

She's being sent home earlier because her village is nearby.

You take her home tomorrow.

Yes, sir.

Sanja.

Stay safe.

I've heard so many exciting stories involving you in Jakarta.

Don't worry, Arum.

I'm sure this is the way that Ambong showed us.

Ambong again! Have you even seen him?

Not really.

But Ambong always spoke to me

whenever I was lonely.

When I had no friends.

You know I have no one, don't you?

You have me.

I know.

I have Arum. Arum has me.

Jenta!

TANAMURUNG LONGHOUSE KALIMANTAN, INDONESIA

-Are you all right? -I'm all right.

I miss you.

Apay, Indai.

I'm sorry I couldn't take care of Arum.

And these victims were displayed in conspicuous places.

The suspect deliberately flaunted them for people to see.

To scare people?

The suspect wanted to make a statement.

Not only that.

Our investigation only makes him more excited.

He enjoys the attention we give him. Us, his hunter.

JULY 2023

These are the dates when Thoriq went to Koh Haris's drink stall.

The last time he came

before he got killed, 17th of July.

I've cross-checked the data with the immigration.

A week after each of those dates, there was always an increase

in the number of teenage girls crossing the border.

Once, when I met James Linggong, I saw Umi.

A week after Thoriq was last seen.

Does it mean the killer knows this pattern?

At least we have something to ask Agam.

He has been released already.

Quick, isn't it? Not even days.

What the hell, Madam Officer?

How many died out there while I'm stuck here?

How could this happen, Thomas?

Why did we release Agam?

I told you already. We had no grounds to keep him in custody.

Thoriq was one of Agam's men!

We've at least alerted the Malaysians, haven't we?

Because there's nothing the immigration can do.

Requesting permission for verification.

Come back here, Inspector Sanja!

Stamp it.

POLICE STATION, NANGA JUGAM REGION

So this Arum is your daughter?

Idiot! You're cold enough to traffic an innocent girl?

I needed money to find work in Brunei.

The harvest failed. Arum is mute.

I got a job offer, but it was a scam.

Good afternoon, Mr. Agam.

Let's go.

We're coming home.

Sorry. Illegal alien.

Sorry. Illegal alien.

MALAYSIAN IDENTITY CARD, AGAM BIN YUSOF

What's going on?

-Hey! Police officer! -Yes?

This girl is assaulting me!

What you did on foreign soil was reckless.

You didn't even alert the Malaysian police about Agam, did you?

They haven't gotten the memo about his involvement in the van attack case.

What are we going to do anyway?

It's too late.

Are you doing this on purpose, sir?

Perhaps you are and I'll accuse you of foul play.

Do you want that?

I know.

You're just incredibly incompetent!

I'll send a recommendation letter to Jakarta,

asking for a substitute investigator.

And you can start to pack up and go back home to meet your dad.

How is it?

It's nice.

I finally got to see you smile again.

Hopefully, this is not you flirting with me.

My God, of course not!

I'm just worried about seeing my boss being gloomy.

It also affects me, you know.

However, I'm really curious about why you're this upset over Agam.

Isn't it clear already?

He's our only key witness.

Let's say it's true.

But seeing you this upset,

it seems you're beyond agitated.

All right, instead of you investigating me,

how about we start to focus on investigating the suspect?

Especially now that I'm on the verge of being sent back to Jakarta.

So it will be your responsibility soon.

Why did you leave the letter secretly on my car?

You could've given it straight to me.

How did you know it was me?

Because here, you're the only one who cares.

-Thank you. -No problem.

Good night.

At least I know whether to trust you or not.

See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Absolutely, San.

VICTIM NO. 5, ARUM'S DAD

Son of a bitch! Go to hell! This is how you pay for selling your own kid!

You should've been swallowed whole!

Not even your head will be spared!

You're okay, Jenta?

Before we left, we spent the night at a warehouse.

We don't know where that was.

I found this when I was there.

Do you know whom this belongs to?

I'm not sure. I was planning to keep it.

But then, I was asked to give it back.

Who did?

Do you still remember what the person looks like?

PINEAPPLE BUTTER BREAD

There's a cave.

I'll go check first. You wait here.

Hey!

Open up!

Oh my God, Sanja!

This is insane.

Is the suspect after you now?

If he was, I would've lost my head already.

He wasn't even armed.

You're right.

Without Mr. Bujang hearing your scream,

you wouldn't have been found.

Mr. Bujang.

I don't mean to be ungrateful for your help,

but why still go to the factory?

Thomas asked me to check.

Maybe the noises I've been hearing

are coming from real boars, after all,

not ghostly ones.

But…

you don't sound like a boar.

The key is to keep your glass filled, Sanja.

Fill it up once it's empty.

Hold on.

You're a local, aren't you?

And the Tanamurung Longhouse is your hometown?

Yes, everybody knows that. You're the last one to know.

However, you're the first one to have no problem with it.

The stigma has always been hard.

I even had to cover my tattoos to be welcomed.

Now, I'm often called "Typical Dayak Man" at the station,

but "Typical Policeman" in the Dayak community. Tough luck.

I joined the police force

because I wanted to protect my community.

Son of Dayak

defending the honor of Dayak.

While hiding your Dayak identity!

Now, tell me your story.

No.

-Come on! -No.

I'm shy.

Because you became a police officer with a noble intention.

-And you didn't? -No.

I accidentally hit a little girl.

She was riding her bike.

But it's all good.

We took responsibility.

Well, well.

What's the occasion?

What did Mr. Bujang do to you?

He's fallen asleep already.

Mr. Raymond, right?

The one who did the round with Mr. Bujang on July 17?

You have a good memory, Madam Officer.

Please, have a glass.

It was my night shift.

I didn't want what happened that night to happen again.

What happened that night?

Mr. Bujang's booze was too strong.

It knocked me right out.

-You were asleep and didn't do your round -All right.

with Mr. Bujang?

I was asleep for around two to three hours.

Yes?

So Mr. Bujang did the round on his own.

It's his own fault.

-Someone, please, go back to the office. -Yes.

Check the documents that we've got there.

Get her inside.

POLICE STATION, NANGA JUGAM REGION

Come in.

At the spot where the victim was, we found blood trails,

which indicate that they walked quite far from there.

To find Arum, we will focus around here, here, and here.

You are welcome to volunteer in the search

as long as you are all physically and mentally fit.

You can get to work.

-Ready, sir! -Ready, sir!

The three of you

come with me to the forest.

Mr. Bujang.

Are you in the search party?

I'm just going to help out a bit.

I may not look like it, but I was a pathfinder for the military

when they were fighting the communist uprising.

Please find Arum.

Save her.

You must not let guilt consume you.

There are many ways to redeem your faults.

Mr. Bujang!

On July 17--

CRIMINAL CASES NOTES

You must leave immediately and brief your replacement.

That easy, sir?

Come on, just be professional, all right?

We've tried working together, but it didn't work out. That's all.

Here.

What is it?

No, I just remembered something funny.

Excuse me, sir.

What's wrong with you? Are you insane?

I'm the one who's insane?

You're all who've gone insane, Thomas!

Tell me, what's going on?

I once told you already.

I only trust you.

I'm not even sure about that now.

Now answer me.

What did Panca tell you to do?

Lower your gun. I'll tell you everything.

I was asked by the commander to spy on you.

And you told him everything about the case?

About the case, obviously.

Although…

it seems that he doesn't really care.

He's more interested in what you do.

And you got paid for it, didn't you?

-What? -That one night.

The brown envelope, Thomas! Did you forget?

That was just a routine procedure.

We all know that the commander has a business on the side.

But I don't have any choice.

I don't want to know what he does.

I don't even want to spend the money.

-You told him I went to the factory? -What?

The one who attacked and left me for dead in the tank was your boss!

-He didn't! -Don't lie!

I swear! That day,

I kept calling, but you didn't pick up. I didn't even know where you were.

That morning, he asked me for an update.

But I didn't know your whereabouts.

I'm a hypocrite for doing this to you, Thomas.

The girl…

that I hit with my car.

She was…

actually dead.

When I joined the police academy,

everyone was underestimating me.

They said I was there only because of my dad.

I refused to listen to them.

I worked hard to prove to myself and them

that I was good enough to become a police officer.

A righteous one.

I thought everything was fine until…

one day,

I hit her

with my car.

And I didn't want all my hard work to go down the drain.

I couldn't face that, Thomas.

So my cohorts,

superiors, and dad worked together

to cover it up.

And from that day on,

I've always let myself

become a coward.

Years have passed.

I thought everything was going to be fine, but no.

I'm in pain. Exhausted.

I just want to come clean, take responsibility, and apologize.

I'd kiss the parents' feet if I had to.

To say I'm sorry.

But if I do that, I'll be taking everyone down with me.

My mates,

my superiors,

who all have their own careers now.

They threatened me,

"If you want to play saint,

don't be too late.

We've all already cleaned up your shit."

I'm going back to Jakarta tomorrow.

There's going to be someone replacing me.

I just want you to help me

to bring this back to Juwing's family.

It has been a pleasure serving with you, Thomas.

My offer to recommend you to Jakarta

still stands.

Let me know if you're still interested.

It has been a pleasure for me too.

Go inside! That way, quick!

Everything's connected to this person.

Umi, the man with the Garuda tattoo,

Thoriq,

Arum's dad.

And they all have something to do with the trafficking activity.

I heard Apay Juwing also often complained

about how slowly the trafficking case was dealt with.

Yes.

He even went out of his way to conduct the investigation himself.

Do you think Agam is the killer?

I don't know yet.

He could just be exploiting the local folklore

to kill all these people.

Hey, wait. Drive this instead.

But Officer Rahmat drives this car.

It's fine. You're driving it today.

Get in.

Evidence, minimal. Connection, it's there.

Motive-wise, it doesn't add up.

If Agam is behind this, let's say for business purposes,

it's just strange.

He has been proven to be a pragmatic and calculative man.

Also vicious.

Understandable. But I don't think a person like that

suddenly became bloodthirsty.

It could happen.

You don't seem too happy if Agam is the killer. Why?

I think your info is interesting, ma'am.

If Agam is the killer,

would you be doing this?

Excuse me, sir.

I'm going now.

Yes, sir.

Let's go, Thomas.

-Drive me home. -Yes, sir.

Get out!

Please.

Yes. I'm the one who ordered Asraf's killing.

That punk stole my money!

So that man with the Garuda tattoo is Asraf?

Yes, ma'am.

I already asked Thoriq to deal with him.

Even to get rid of his body.

But that's all I know. I swear.

I didn't think of anything. He was the cause of all this.

But…

when Asraf's head was sent to my house…

I was scared.

I burnt his head and went to hide.

Apay Juwing. What do you know about him?

I really don't know anything.

You know I respect all of you, the people in the Dayak community.

Respect us, my ass!

You sell our own children!

And Apay Juwing was investigating that.

Did you tell Thoriq to kill Apay Juwing too?

Hey, if Thoriq killed Apay Juwing, I wouldn't be surprised.

He'd obey anyone who could pay him.

But it's not me!

Son of a bitch!

Thomas, let me ask you something.

I saw you with Sanja at the hospital.

On the day you all found the dead girl.

Where did you meet her?

She was already there, sir.

Are you sure?

Maybe you had met her somewhere before?

Looking for this?

And this?

When Sanja survived the factory incident,

I knew you had something to do with it.

So it's true you're the one who attacked Sanja?

I couldn't control her. I simply wanted her to focus on the case.

It's a shame the case dragged your businesses with it too.

And I was shocked to hear that it's behind the trafficking.

What are you going to do then?

Getting promoted? Becoming a hero for all your brothers?

Call Agam.

What is it?

Nothing.

Just checking. All good there?

All good.

How about you?

The bitch is gone.

She dropped by the black market.

Your girlfriend is still causing trouble.

Put these on.

Come on.

-So you're going to kill me here? -No.

Here's the only place to safely secure you

while I'm trying to collect the evidence with Sanja.

Hello.

10-5! All officers!

Inspector Sanja has kidnapped our suspect, Agam!

10-2! At the black market! Sweep and take over!

Take over, get to work, same thing! Idiot!

I've given you the regular share.

You ungrateful bastard!

I've had enough!

So have I!

Just tell me!

How much do you want?

-Enough! -What?

Just kill this fucker and the problem's solved!

But I can't let that happen, Silas!

Really? Try me!

Do you still believe in the law?

Focus on our goal.

Sorry, Madam Officer. We have the same goal.

Just different ways to get it.

Silas!

Silas!

POLICE LINE, DO NOT CROSS

Freeze! Stop!

Get out, Silas!

Mr. Bujang!

The girl will recover in no time, Ms. Sanja.

I gave her some tea with kratom leaves so she could rest.

Thank goodness I was able to find her in the forest.

-Please, Ms. Sanja. -Back off!

-This isn't what it looks like. -Put it down!

-I didn't do this. -Then who else?

When I was moving here and cleaning up,

I saw him shooting at Thomas.

Then as if blinded and disoriented,

he cut Thomas's throat with a fighting knife.

Back off!

The killer beheaded him, not cutting his throat.

All right. Maybe you're right.

But you can check his throat to be sure.

Maybe he is a copycat killer

so that no one will point the finger at him.

Copying you?

Why?

So people can see, Ms. Sanja.

See your existence?

See what's going on here.

I'm just a nobody. I'm invisible.

I don't need to be seen.

Everyone lost and couldn't keep up with the time.

And the young had to pay the price.

At first, I was too scared to do anything.

But when I saw him on a killing spree,

killing Juwing and the guy with the Garuda tattoo.

I felt I had to do this.

So people can see.

Starting from you.

I want to give Juwing's and Thomas's corpses a proper treatment.

The others…

deserve to be thrown away.

Shut up! On your knees!

Hands on your head!

Sanja!

Finish the psycho!

VICTIM NO. 6, PANCA NUGRAHA

I'm sorry.

I can't possibly do it to you.

Do what?

Fighting you.

Beheading you.

That's what you want, isn't it?

You…

want to be punished.

You must learn to choose.

Choose what you see.

VICTIM NO. 7, THOMAS MARTINUS

VICTIM NO. 7, THOMAS MARTINUS

Don't leave me alone.

"The serial murder suspect, Agam bin Yusof,

was found dead by suicide in his cell.

He couldn't deny the mounting evidence of his crime,

collected with full dedication

by the Chief of Local Police, Inspector Panca Nugraha,

who is now still missing."

It's always been like this.

Stop reading that garbage news anywhere near Thomas.

Even though you were a police officer,

you were a hero.

You gave us courage.

This will not stop here.

My beloved brothers and sisters, let us gather

to start tonight's mass.

For those who want to sing a song, you are welcome.

These are

the additional documents on the suspect, Agam. Please take a look.

These can be

additional evidence for us.

It's a shame the case dragged your businesses with it too.

Photos related to the case.

And I was shocked to hear that it's behind the trafficking.

What are you going to do then?

Getting promoted? Becoming a hero for all your brothers?

Your girlfriend is still causing trouble.

She's never going to give up to do what's right.

And I won't let you get in her way!

Congratulations, Sanja.

Finally, you know what it feels like to do a good job.

It's time to go home.

Whether I go home or not, it's none of your business.

But your dad asked me to take you home.

What can I say?

I don't have to answer your question.

Your cohorts keep asking about you.

Some are still wondering

whether you're still willing to redeem yourself.

Do you want to serve time?

Can you survive that?

The girl is dead, Sanja.

The mom won't ever admit

that her daughter was killed by a police officer.

Go home.

Please go home.

I don't need you.

I have never needed you.

Fine.

I hope you can say the same thing to your dad.

I'll see you some other time.

As much as we are grateful that we've found our girl,

Arum Fidelia Jinggut,

we still have to clarify some potentially unsettling matters.

Rumors that members of PARAKU or the communist guerilla

are still among us are baseless.

We are yet to confirm them.

On the same occasion,

Officer Daniel Lumenta is encouraging the community

to get into the spirit of our Independence Day celebration

and use it as a moment to strengthen our love to the country,

also work together to keep the community safe

to create a conducive environment

towards a better economy and well-being of our community.

-Six. Hardworking, resourceful, and happy! -Six. Hardworking, resourceful, and happy!

-Seven. Efficient, meticulous, and humble! -Seven. Efficient, meticulous, and humble!

-Eight. Disciplined, brave, and loyal! -Eight. Disciplined, brave, and loyal!

-Nine… -Nine…

Excuse me, ma'am, sir. Clear the area, please.

VICTIM NO. 8, BUJANG

You have to learn to choose.

Choose what you see.
