Apprentice Page #4

Synopsis: Aiman is a 28-year-old Malay correctional officer who is recently transferred to the territory's top prison. He lives with his older sister Suhaila in a modest housing estate. At his new workplace, Aiman begins to take an interest in a 65-year-old sergeant named Rahim. Soon, it is revealed that the charismatic Rahim is actually the long-serving chief executioner of the prison. Rahim also takes notice of the principled and diligent Aiman. When Rahim's assistant suddenly quits, he asks Aiman to become his apprentice. Aiman tells Suhaila of his new job position, but Suhaila becomes upset, as their father was actually executed by Rahim. Aiman knew this all along. Can Aiman overcome his conscience and a haunted past to possibly take over as the next chief executioner?

Just like that.

You'll see this Friday.

Okay, let's pack up.

Chief,

Do you have the keys

to the archive cabinet?

I'll return the file.

Just leave it at the registry.

They'll know what to do.

There.

Never mind, chief.

Take it.

Never mind.

Take it.

How much is the food?

Don't worry about it. Just eat.

For real?

Eat.

You're sure you can fix the scale?

Yeah.

Good.

Actually I can usually

tell just by looking

How much a person weighs.

Really?

You are 158

To 159 pounds?

About 72 kilos.

More or less.

Go measure yourself. Then

tell me if it's more or less.

Chief.

How is he?

He's been eating well these two days.

- Morning, randy.

- Morning, sir.

Ask the cookhouse

to stick to the meal plan.

Yes, chief.

Did his family come today?

No, no one came. We tried

calling, but no one came.

Aiman.

That's a pinion.

We use that to tie the legs.

What if he can't stand up?

We let him sit on the chair.

We put on the hood

so they don't see the noose.

But usually they're okay.

By the time they get here,

they've accepted their fate.

Ready to go.

I remember this one guy.

In '85 or '86.

A really quiet fellow.

The night before,

He told his religious counselor

that he didn't do it.

In the morning, we had to

drag him out of his cell,

He was kicking and yelling

all the way here.

I quickly put the noose on him.

He went down just like that.

No prayers, no nothing.

He didn't do it?

He was just afraid and chickened

out the night before.

Wanna try?

There.

Remove the pin first.

Just pull the lever in one go.

Hello.

What are you doing?

Tea break.

Will you be back late?

Maybe.

Why?

Can we talk?

We can talk now.

There's something I've been

wanting to tell you face-to-face

But I didn't get the chance.

And I'm flying off soon.

John proposed to me.

And I said yes.

Congrats.

He wants me

To move to Australia with him.

Aiman?

I also have some news.

Do you remember the hangman

I was talking about?

He asked me to be his assistant.

You said no, right?

Aiman?

Aiman!

Aiman! Open the door!

Aiman! Open the door!

Aiman!

What do you think you're doing?

Have you lost your mind?

Why did you say those things?

Are you trying to upset me?

Okay. Congratulations.

Isn't it what you wanted?

- Using that man to get out of here!

- Don't talk to me like that!

So what if I want

to get out of here?

I'm tired.

Of our family bullshit.

Of caring for you,

caring for grandma.

Caring for grandpa

when they both got sick.

Is it wrong? For once, I

want to lead my own life.

So did you agree?

To work for that man?

What are you trying to prove?

I don't want to be like him.

Who?

You are not father!

But so what if you are like him?
