For centuries, the ancient lands of Indonesia
were colonized by the Dutch Empire.
Accounts of suppression, brutality and tragedy
are often lost in taes of folkore.
This is one story where the worlds of fact and fiction collide...
CALIFORNIA, TAHUN 1860
Ayo, ya pasang semuanya! Ya begitu!
3 banding 1 untuk pria kecil ini.
Percayalah, yang bisa melipat-tigakan uangmu, mau?
Melipat-tigakan uangmu, cukup gila 'kan.
Ini pertarungan tingkat banding yang ekstrim.
Kalian siap untuk pertarungan ini?
Ada lagi? / Dia akan pertaruhkan semua uangnya.
Ayo.
Coba tendang lebih keras lagi, kak.
Ya begitu.
Ooh!
Sebaiknya menyerah sekarang selagi gigimu masih utuh, kak.
Terus saja kumpulkan taruhannya, aku belum selesai.
Kau yakin? / Oh!
Taruhan diganti, 7 banding 1.
Terasa baikan?
Ya begitu!
Sekarang aku baru selesai. / Pertarungan bagus.
Baiklah.
Jangan lupa bagianku. / Kita sudah bunuh satu.
Sialan, kau curang. Pertarungan dicurangi.
Kau sama tahunya dengan aku kalau pertarungan kami menangkan dengan adil.
Omong kosong. Kembalikan uang kami.
Santai, ini cuma permainan, nak.
Kami kembalikan uangmu.
Tapi biarkan kami melanjutkan perjalanan kami dengan damai.
Oh tidak, bos. Ini keretaku. / Keretamu?
Aku yang kerjakan jalur kereta ini bersama anak-anakku
sejak kau masih menetek ibumu.
Brengsek kau...
Paman!
Paman! Sial, Suwo!
Biar kulihat, biar kulihat!
Maaf.
Cuma tergores, kau tak apa-apa.
Ya. / Tak apa.
Maafkan aku.
Sekarang saatnya kita pulang.
Aku tak mau mati... sebelum kita selesaikan masalah ini.
BUFFALO BOYS
JAVA, 6 MONTHS LATER
Hey, Suwo.
I though I'd never return to kiss the earth of my homeland
that I had left behind.
Anak-anak, ingatlah tujuan kita disini.
Tak ada yang kenal siapa kita, dan dari mana kita berasal.
Jangan percaya siapapun, membaurlah.
Dan ingat, gunakan bahasa ibumu seperti yang kuajarkan.
Come, let's go.
Hurry!
Kapal tak bisa menunggu seharian.
Ayo.
Ayo, kalian.
First, we must pay our respect to your faher
at the final resting place of all Sultans and their families.
This is your father's grave
and this... your mother's.
God bless her soul.
Seruni.
Forgive me.
I should have never left you.
A long time ago,
ancient kings ruled this land.
Civilization here flourished a thousand years before us.
We come from a land deep with heritage.
And part of it runs through your blood.
Both of you are born of noble heritage.
Raised in foreign lands,
united by extreme circumtances.
That day, your father and I managed to escape.
We were lucky,
so you survived.
I thought if we could negotiate with them
they would leave us in peace.
How naive.
They need to pay.
No.
We've already lost many of our people today.
Let's not lose our future too.
They're here.
Just get in! Get in!
Get in, Hamza.
Go now.
I'll delay them.
No, Hamza, we move together.
Arana.
Get as far away as you can.
Bring my boys up as your own.
Save them, Arana.
They are our only hope.
Kulihat kau bertahan dari belatiku,
Sultan Hamza.
My death shall only strengthen the will of my people.
Van Trach.
Jamar.
As the eldest son, you have to shoulder the responsibility.
Suwo.
As the youngest
it is your brotherhood bon
that will strengthen the both of you.
Don't ever forget that.
Apa yang kau lakukan? / Huh? Oh, aku...
Jangan main-main. / Bukan, tadi aku...
Jangan bikin jengkel.
Anak-anak... sudahlah.
Kau masih terobsesi dengan peta itu?
Bagaimana kalau dia tak ada di sana.
Kita akan cari dia...
dimanapun dia berada.
Dan kali ini, kita pasti siap.
Shh.
What do you want?
Do you guys need...
You came from over there.
Heading towards there.
So why are you stopping here?
Everything OK? / What are you looking at?
Everything is fine.
That's my wife. She's in labor.
She's in labor? / Ya.
I can help. / How?
What's that? / I have medicine.
What medicine?
This is for the pain. / My wife is not in pain, shes just in labor.
But... / Move along!
Sorry, sir.
We'll move along.
Help!
Don't move!
Or Fakar will kill her! / Calm down. Calm down.
You want to die?
Get back!
You think Fakar's messing around?
Think again.
Get back!
Come here.
Sri!
It hurts! / Next time, mind your own business.
Wait, wait.
Where are you heading?
Please come to our village.
There, you can bathe, eat, and rest.
That would be my honor.
Please, come.
Hiya!
broth3rmax
Ho!
What's happening there?
Anak-anak...
That man knows how to ride.
I've never seen a man ride buffalo like that.
And shoot like an Apache warrior! / Yeah.
Woo!
Hiya!
Earlier, I noticed crops being.
Why?
To grow opium.
It's more profitable for them.
If we don't burn the rice
the Dutch will burn us.
Whoa.
There are the farmers who chose to plant crop
because they though
feeding their families was more important.
But they had to pay the price.
What's that smell?
This is the stenc...
of hatred.
Hey!
Hiya!
Oh!
Come here, sweetheart.
Grandpa.
What happened to your head?
I had a fall. It's just a scratch.
Gentlemen,
my grand daughter, Kiona.
You are an excellent rider.
For a...
girl.
Bawakan topiku.
Your riding was spectacular.
I'm Suwo.
Suwo, the hand that you kisses
is the hand that wipes her... / Ass.
Your beauty made them forget their manners.
I am Arana.
How's my riding, Grandpa?
Kiona.
You stole my buffalo again?
I only borrowed him, Father.
Your father is the head of the village while you ride buffaloes as if you're a boy.
You embarrass me.
Excuse me.
You should be proud of her.
Who are you people? / Kiona.
Sri.
Father, don't... / Silence!
What do you want here? / Sakar.
These men are our friends, not our enemies.
They are... / They are strangers.
And all strangers are enemies.
If the Dutch finds out we'll be the ones who pay the price.
Have you no shame.
These men saved me and your daughter Sri.
That's two lives you owe them.
It's true, Father.
If not for them, both of us would be dead.
Forgive me.
I misjudged you.
Come join us for dinner tonight.
Would you like to freshen up?
Ah.
Boys, stop showing off.
The ladies are getting over-excited.
Handsome.
We've met before.
Where? / In my dreams.
I wouldn't forget a dashing man like that.
Maybe you'll remember once he takes off his sarong.
Boys...
Let me help you, handsome.
It won't take long. / Boys.
These men saved my family.
Henceforth, we will treat them as our family.
Yes.
Sir, with all due respect,
your father and daughter should not be travelling alone.
I would have sent men to accompany them,
but all our men are assisting to re-plant the crops.
What?
Assisting?
It's forced labor.
Forced labor? / You've seen what happens if we dare to oppose them.
Why doesn't the Sultan do something?
We haven't had a Sultan for a while.
It suits the Dutch just fine.
The Dutch control everything now.
Father, Kiona!
You say too much!
Don't you dare silence me, Sakar.
Our villagers will starve if we don't have rice.
This is hell on earth.
Ever since Van Trach returned.
Van Trach? / He and his men kill, rap
and pillage, without fear of punishment.
Kiona!
And nore of us dare to fight them.
Kiona!
Don't pay attention to my daughter's words.
There's a lot she still doesn't understand.
As long as we live by their rules
we'll live in peace and they'll leave us alone.
"As long as we live by their rules"
"we'll live in peace".
I believed that once.
But the consequence was...
a life was lost.
Damn it!
I don't need help.
I can manage.
What are you doing here?
Shouldn't you be inside with the other men
making important decisions.
I don't usually get to participate
in making important decisions.
Oh, yeah.
It's tough, not being taken seriously.
What would you know about that? / I mean, I know how you feel.
I can relate.
Can you really? / As the youngest, I am also at a disadvantage.
No, you have one huge advantage.
You're a man.
You can do whatever you want
whenever you want, however you want
and with whomever you want.
You're not seen as an embarrassment
nor evaluated, and not judge.
And all that is because...
you're a man.
You don't think there's pressure being a man?
I was born with a set of rules.
Don't show your feeling. Be braver, be stronger.
Fight, be a hero, win.
As if those are the only virtues that make you a man.
The key is timing.
You're rushin
and therefore, your aim is off.
Are you saying you have better aim?
Of course.
I'm a man. / Arrogant!
Like this.
I only want to help.
I'm so happy to see you.
You've been gone for so long.
Distance has forced me to grow up.
Father, Kiona.
I'm tired of hiding.
Moving from village to village is really tough.
I only want to come home.
We just don't want you to experience
what we had gone through here.
Though I'm glad you are here.
I also fear for your safety.
They are coming! They are coming!
Ayo pergi.
You must leave now.
Kiona!
Quick! Guide them to the forest.
There's no time. / I'm going with Sri.
It's worse if they find her with them.
But... / Go.
Go!
Suwo! / Ready.
Go!
That's enough.
Cover it with leaves.
Yes, Uncle.
Hurry up!
Sir
these are the people, along with three others
who attacked Fakar.
Sir, this is not true.
Not true? / He attacked us.
Silence!
Where are the others? / Sir, he tried to rape me.
Who will you believe, sir?
Fakar, your loyal servant
who lost an eye for the company.
Or...
this cursed whore.
Let go!
Don't! Don't!
Sri.
She's not even registered.
No stamp.
It's true, sir.
There were three other people here but they've gone now.
Fakar was right!
Please, sir
don't harm her.
She has nothing to do with this.
What are you waiting for?
Register her. / Help, sir!
Don't, sir!
Step aside!
What's happening?
Registration.
For what?
Their stamp on us.
We didn't register Sri.
She was too young.
Come!
Sri!
Hurry up!
Where's the little boy, come?
Who's that man?
His name is Drost.
Van Trach's right-hand man.
Don't run!
Take the old man and the girl.
Kiona...
Just leave me.
Come.
Leave her be.
Take the bags.
Forgive me, Sri.
Tomorrow we'll explore the town.
I am sure, Uncle.
Van Trach will be there. / Hmm.
The time for reckoning is here.

This is it, boys.
That's all the rice you get for that little opium.
Go get some supplies.
I will scout around.
Kalian dari mana? Mari masuk.
Banyak barang bagus di dalam.
Mari.
Masuklah.
Welcome, gentlemen.
Sir.
I have something very special for you.
You are sure to like this.
Try this, Scorpion arak.
Makes you strong.
Makes the ladies feel good.
If there's one thing I don't like,
it's that.
Scorpions.
Relax, sir. Relax.
Sir.
This just came in.
It is a bit pricey.
But...
You can use this over and over again.
You pay more
but you can last longer.
Count this.
Sir, come buy some chickens.
How much?
This flower only bloom at night.
Kiona?
What are you doing here?
Besides breeding bulls, Father also grows flowers.
Any news about your grandfather and sister?
No news yet
just that all the headmen have been summoned to town.
Will Van Trach be there?
He should be.
He summoned my father specifically.
Come with me.
I was about to go to the town square.
What's going on?
Grandpa.
Sri.
Van Trach.
Tuan-tuan...
kita semua sepakat untuk mengurusi masyarakat
berdasar keadilan dan kesejahteraan bersama.
Namun salah satu kalian telah membiarkan desanya mengecewakan.
Salah satu kalian tak setia.
Sakar... majulah.
Putrimu menghindari registrasi.
Dia dan ayahmu bersekongkol dengan penjahat asing
dan merampok salah satu anak buahku disaat patroli rutin.
Penjahat, yang singgah di desamu.
Warga sekalian...
aku tak bekerja keras bertahun-tahun ini
untuk melihat kalian semua terjerumus kembali dalam anarki
di tempat aku menyelamatkan kalian.
Hukum tetaplah hukum.
Dan harus ditegakkan.
Aku menemukan pelaku yang bersalah.
Dan hukumannya sudah jelas...
hukuman mati.
No!
Sekarang seperti kalian semua tahu
aku ini pengampun.
Sebagai Penduduk, aku bisa mengampuni.
Sayangnya...
aku hanya bisa ampuni salah satu dari mereka.
Katakan, kawanku...
...siapa yang harus kuampuni.
Sir.
I have serve you well.
Katakan, Sakar.
Jika kau memang setia, kau tak akan ragu berkata.
Please, Sir.
I did everything you asked.
I cannot make this impossible choice.
They are my family, sir.
They have done nothing wrong.
Quiet, Sakar!
Why are you bargaining with the devil?
I am ready to die, Sakar.
But why you have to beg to this dog!
Why?
Hey, devil invader.
Just kill me!
No, grandpa.
You will rot in hell soon enough.
Don't.
Apa beban pemimpin terlalu berat bagimu?
Apa kami harus membebaskanmu dari tugas untuk sementara?
Yes.
Sakar, kau pasti kenal baik aku sekarang.
Kau jauh lebih lama mengabdi padaku dibanding bertindak ini terhadapmu.
Father!
Not here! Too many people.
Father!
Cowards!
All of you are cowards!
Kiona, di mata hukum
tindakan ayahmu dianggap pengkhianatan serius.
aku tak punya pilihan lain selain menghukum mati dia.
Sebenarnya kuingin melihat rasa terima kasih
karena mengampuni nyawa adikmu tercinta.
Apa kau tak mau berterima kasih
Kiona?
Jangan paksa aku mencabut pengampunanku.
I am thankful.
Aku tak dengar.
I am thankful, sir.
Bawa masuk gadis baru ini ke dalam rumah.
We have to follow him.
Latih gadis baru itu.
♪
Hai.
It's risky, hiding out here.
It's still the closest we can get to him.
Have you found us a way out?
Don't worry. The cute girls downstairs told me this.
There is an exit, at the back.
Mm.
Now we wait.
Sit down, Suwo.
I want to speak to the two of you.
I have waited for this day.
This dagger belonged to your father.
This dagger has been handed down for generations
to each successive Sultan.
And now, you are its rightful owner.
The Javanese carry them for protection.
Bring it with you everywhere you go.
Always keep it with you.
Suwo.
All these years, I've kept this knife.
It serves as a reminder to me
of the sacrifice and the pain I've endured.
This is now yours.
We all have the same purpose.
We must work together
to reach our goal.
Remember that well.
I have him.
Relax.
Inhale.
Slow.
Then be sure.
Ready.
Be sure.
There's... There's a servant in the way.
I can't get a clear shot, Uncle.
I'll do it.
Die, you son of a bitch!
Uncle?
Don't!
Uncle!
Paman! / Paman, hey.
What's wrong?
Suwo, go to the Chinese store. Get medicine.
Uncle.
OK. OK. / I'll look for another way.
facebook/broth3rmax
I'm so sorry.
Your father and grandfather were brave men.
You see that old lady over there?
Van Trach's gang killed her son.
Or rather, hunted him down for pleasure.
They returned his bullet-ridden bod
but without his head.
The bar owner likes keeping it as a trophy.
She can't rest until her son is whole again.
But no one can help her.
This is our life living under Van Trach's rule.
You're the pretty girl Fakar talked about?
I want to introduce you...
to some of our hungry boys.
Come.
Hey...
Itu pacarmu?
You!
Long time to see.
Duduk.
Diam.
Cyclops. What are you doing?
Looking for lice. Why?
If you plan on blowing his brains out all over my bar
you better think twice.
Fine.
Fakar is watching you.
I've been watching you.
What do you want here?
Suwo, watch out!
Lihat, kau lihat?
You have balls of steel.
Coming into my bar like that.
Fine.
I'll leave.
But first...
How about that trophy...
and the girl over there...
In exchange for your lives.
You're funny.
But it seems, the collection on my wall
will be much better...
with another skull.
Suwo.
What's happening here?
You must be ready. He might come to you tonight.
Why are you still here?
We can find a way to escape.
Many have tried.
They are always captured
and hung on the Banyan tree outside.
How can you stand this?
My husband
and my entire family have vanished.
I have no one else but myself.
No one else.
Kau tahu, aku selalu bersikap lembut padamu.
Kau satu-satunya orang yang tak berusaha lari.
Mungkin itu sifat cerdas yang bisa kukagumi.
Indah bukan?
Kuambil kalung ini
karena ini hadiah ibuku dari seorang pengagum rahasianya.
Dia tak pernah memakainya karena takut pada ayahku.
Tapi dia menyimpannya,
karena ini yang paling dekat dan membuat dia bahagia.
Dan oleh karena itu...
kuingin kau memakainya.
I'm not your mother.
I do not want to be linked to your past.
Dasar sundal!
Where are you going?
To clear my head
get some air.
Wait, Uncle. Look.
Kami menangkap orang asing itu.
Go find Suwo.
Aren't you coming, Uncle?
No.
Meet me at the village later.
Van Trach?
Find your brother first. Go.
Kalian, ikut aku.
Ah.
Katakan yang kau ketahui tentang pria-pria itu?
Siapa mereka?
You won't get anything out of me.
Kurasa registrasi stempelnya perlu diperbarui.
Fakar will get the brand ready.
Don't!
Use the knife.
Oh.
Tunggu! Dari mana kau mendapatkan itu?
It's not Fakar's.
It was on the table.
It belongs to him.
Dari mana kau menemukan ini?
Answer!
Think hard.
Where did you last leave it.
Sultan Hamza.
Siapa dirimu, bocah?
I am his son.
Anaknya?
Aku sangat ingat hari itu.
Sir...
there's an intruder in your house.
Arana?
Urus dia, habisi dia.
Thank you, sir.
Kau tetap disini.
You're not in hurry, are you?
Leave him! He's had enough.
Stop torturing him. / I see, you want one too?
Where do you want Fakar to put yours?
How about here?
Or should Fakar go for your forehead?
Yes.
The forehead will do.
Are you all right?
Thank you.
Selalu menyelamatkanmu, huh?
Kenapa kau lama sekali?
Kau tak apa-apa? Kita harus pergi.
I thought Van Trach had surely killed you.
He might as well have.
How did you find the strength?
With every beat of my heart
you were there with me too, Arana.
You were my hope.
There has not been a single day when I don't regret.
And ask God for forgivenes
for leaving you.
My love.
Seruni...
Van Trach.
Dobrak!
Mereka sudah pergi.
Come! Hurry.
Hide.
Thank you.
Uncle.
Suwo.
Are you all right?
You must be Jamar.
You have your father's eyes.
You're that woman...
at Van Trach house?
It's OK, Jamar.
She's his wife?
I am Seruni.
Your uncle's wife.
But we thought you were... / Yes.
We all did, but...
Seruni is alive.
You look just like your mother.
Aunty. / Yes, I'm your aunty.
Suwo.
I'll wait outside.
Be careful.
Uncle...
Van Trach probably knows we're here.
We should go. / Yes.
We still have a chance to kill him.
To avenge our parents. / Your father was a warrior
but he fought for justice.
He would never let his sons waste their live
for the sake of vengeance.
Have you forgotten? That day, father set out to negotiate peace
but instead he was murdered.
Jamar, don't.
I won't be so foolish to make the mistake.
Revenge is a right.
He robbed us of our family.
Revenge may be a right
but forgiveness makes you stronger.
Jamar.
I'm wrong.
Your father never acted out of hatred.
He always chose to forgive, if he could.
If not for revenge, then why are we here?
To serve justice.
For our people.
Jamar...
Halo.
Van Trach.
Aku melihat ada reunian keluarga.
Kiona.
Pasti kalian lagi berbahagia.
Aku merasa agak lancang
bila aku tak ikut gabung ke dalam perayaan reuni...
mengingat betapa banyaknya... / Hey
keluarga kita sebenarnya.
Maksudku, selama 20 tahun terakhir istrimu
telah tidur denganku, Arana.
Banyak malam indah kuhabiskan untuk memahami kesenangannya
dan penderitaannya.
Lepaskan istriku, Arana...
dan akan kubiarkan kalian semua mati secara terhormat.
We're surrounded.
To die with you
would be my greatest honor, Arana.
Bakar rumah itu!
Biar dia keluar.
Tembak mereka semua.
Semuanya.
Let me go.
Seruni?
Dia telah membuat pilihan.
Dia akan terbakar bersama mereka semua.
Animals! Get back.
Stay down.
Suwo.
Everyone all right?
Uncle!
Arana.
Jamar, we can use the smoke to escape.
What? / Clear the way first.
Are you mad? / You clear the way.
I'll help uncle.
No way, we have to stay as a group.
Please trust me. I will bring them out in one piece.
Berjanjilah, kau akan keluarkan mereka.
Kami berada di belakangmu.
Percayalah.
Ayo!
Cepat!
Uncle, we need to cover your wound.
Bear with it, Uncle. / It's just a scratch, Suwo.
Just bear with the pain for a while.
Suwo,
our time together is at an end.
No. / It is time
for you to take hold of your own destiny.
I'm not leaving you two behind.
Indeed you aren't
because I'm the one who has to leave.
I have always loved you
and Jamar
as my own sons.
Your father will be so proud of both of you.
I'm sure that's what he'll said
when the wind carries me to meet him.
Don't worry, Suwo.
I'm very much at peace.
It is time for you to leave now.
Jamar is waiting for you.
Go.
Dimana mereka? / Mereka tak ikut.
Apa maksudmu?
Mereka sudah tiada.
Kau menyuruhku... untuk pergi duluan...
dan kalian akan berada di belakangku.
Aku sudah berusaha. / Kau suruh aku mempercayaimu.
Katakan sesuatu!
Ini tak adil. / Adil?
Kau mau tahu apa itu ketidakadilan?
Paman mati gara-gara dirimu.
Kau meninggalkan paman untuk mati.
Masa bodoh!
Hanya dirimulah satu-satunya keluargaku.
Maaf.
Paman menyuruhku menyampaikan pesan bahwa dia menyesal.
Sekarang dia pasti sedang mengawasi kita
bersama ayah.
Dan apapun rencana kita selanjutnya...
kita lakukan demi rakyat.
Rakyat kita.
Come on. Go.
Go!
Kami tak menemukan mayat mereka.
Pikiranmu apa sama denganku?
Aku mulai bosan melihat orang digantung.
Itu kelamaan.
Cowok-cowokmu akan terlambat.
Sir, our guests have arrive.
Yah, apes aku.
Dan tepat waktu.
Tutup gerbangnya!
Tembak mati mereka.
Kau siap? / Selalu siap.
Kurasa mereka ingin berhadapan langsung.
Van Trach, let's make a deal.
Kesepakatan?
Take your men, leave this place
and don't ever return.
Seperti yang kalian lihat, kami semua cukup nyaman disini.
Oh?
In that case, be prepared to face judgement.
Memang siapa kalian? Cowboy dari Tanah Barat?
Cowboys mengendarai kuda
bukan kerbau.
Dan jika aku tak bisa sebut kalian Cowboys
maka kupanggil saja kalian Buffalo Boys.
So what's it going to be...
war or peace?
Kurasa ini yang mereka sebut berunding.
Tembakkan meriam!
Suwo!
Jamar!
Jamar, tidak, tidak, tidak.
Hm.
I'll give you one bullet.
What are you going to do?
Kalian cuma cari mampus
kemari.
Kau tangguh juga, brengsek.
Are you ready?
All ready.
Hey.
Uncle was right. This dagger saved my life.
Look, this is where the bullet bounced off it.
I'll get the horses ready.
I know that you must leave.
So must we.
They will be back for more blood.
We'll meet again
when the time is right.
Tell the rest of our people
that there's still hope.
And there are still people who are willing to fight
for justice.
Hey.
This belong to my uncle.
Arana.
And now it's yours. Take care of it, yeah.
Yes.
Thank you.
We'll never forget you.
Hm.
We'll meet them again.
What?
How are you so sure?
Because when the legends are born
they will never die.
