There's work to do.

I'm coming.

Mandi...?

Good morning, sir.

See you tomorrow.

Two men there and two there.

Make sure I'm not interrupted.

If you want to know what I think...

- We do it my way, sergeant.

Agreed?

One each side and one straight in

- Everyone thinks you're crazy.

Are you?

Maybe.

Is this for the army

or for your father?

It's for you, Twan.

Turn that jeep!

Is that chocolate?

- No.

Do you read me?

Get lost! Off the jeep!

What do you want here?!

Satih?

Sinyo Johan.

Who are you carrying there?

Your child?

Is it a boy?

What's his name?

Deppoh.

Sinyo Johan, it is dangerous

for you to come here.

Dangerous for you and for us.

There's no one can be trusted

anymore around here, Sinyo.

You can trust me, Satih.

I trust you.

But some people around here...

don't want to see the Dutch any more.

They might think anything.

You're a Dutch soldier now. They

could draw their own conclusion.

What's up with your mother?

- She has malaria.

But the neighbours have given

her a herbal remedy

Mum, Sinyo Johan is here.

Sinyo have grown!

How are you, Sinyo?

- Is Urug here?

We don't know where Urug is.

Has he joined the TNI?

Don't ask me that. I don't know.

Does he know that his mother

is very ill?

You can have this picture of him.

Thank you, Ibu...

Has he changed much...

.. in all these years?

Why are you asking about him?

Has he done anything wrong?

Satih!

Please leave, Sinyo.

Satih, I must speak to Urug.

He isn't here.

If he's here he will only visit

father's grave.

It was no one's fault.

It was an accident!

You may have different

recollection from ours.

Lieutenant!

Radio report from HQ!

A large TNI column is approaching.

They just crossed the Mandiri creek.

Bruinsma, Bren on the last vehicle.

Kretek, cover them.

Are they far?

A few miles south, they say.

Great.

- There's nothing great here!

Where's that damn wog we want?

He wasn't there.

Bruinsma, take cover.

Let's take some other blue apes!

Sergeant!

...for protection.

Get in!

Sleep tight, bastard!

No luck?

He's here somewhere.

Are you sure it was him?

I will be if I find him.

Can I ask you something?

Not about that nurse!

How do you say in Malay..

"Rita, you have the loveliest

eyes I ever saw?"

Brake, Twan!

Brake! Duck!

Wogs! Take cover! By the trees.

- Where?

Duck, Twan!

Bruinsma, help me!

What happened to him?

Have mercy, sir.

Why are you fighting?

How many of you are there?

You'd better tell me everything.

Who is your commander?

The name of your division?

Tell me!

Is that all?

- He's well trained.

Where's your command post?

That damn propaganda station?

Does he speak Dutch?

Yes, but he won't.

It's the "language of oppressors".
