[reporter] ...in Batavia City tonight,
as yet another coordinated series of armed robberies
- [reporters overlapping] - have left four dead
and 35 injured at six different crime scenes...
[reporter 2] ...left to wonder who could
possibly save our city now.

[phone ringing]
Hello?
Edi?
[Edi] Dad, help me!
I've brought your beloved son home.
[father] What has he done?
You should ask what youhave done.
[sobbing]
He has nothing to do with this.
Let him go!
[Edi sobbing]
[gunshot]
[engine revving]
Hey, sorry I'm late, I was at the cafe--
How long are you going to wait tables, Sri?
Come on, Mom. At least let her eat first.
- Here. - [sighs]
- More? - That's plenty.
You know, you'd be better off working with Umbra.
You could make good money. Spend time with your brother.
You don't have a future at that cafe.
I don't want to get stuck behind a desk--
Oh, so you'd rather be a waitress for
the rest of your life.
Mom, she'll find her own way eventually.
I don't even know who she is anymore.
She doesn't listen to a single word I say.
She dropped out of college,
and now, she has no concept of responsibility.
What future is there for someone like that?
- It's none of your business, mom.
- Sri.
Try not to worry too much about what mom said, OK?
It's harder without dad.
He would've known just what to say.
Hey, how's the acting going? You get big yet?
[chuckles] I'm still waiting to get discovered.
Hey.
I know Mom's hard on you sometimes.
But she's the only family we have left.
She wants you to be happy.
But losing dad, it really hasn't been easy on her.
I won't ask you to understand.
But please try to be more patient with Mom, OK?
See you later.
Don't let her worry too much.
[indistinct chatter]
[sirens wailing]
[woman 1] Wi, Wi, camera stand by.
Ready.
- Ready? - OK.
A robbery occurred tonight at the Ponsa Gallery...
A plague has infected our city.
These criminals...
are organizing more and more every day.
They've begun to from a syndicate.
And we can't keep up.
The more that they unite,
the harder they are to stop.
We've got to get this under control.
[The Shadow] Good evening,
people of Batavia City.
Has your sleep been troubled lately? Perhaps...
Mr. Syamsul! Keep it rolling.
Mr. Syamsul!
- Ma'am. Ma'am!
- Please, just give me one minute with him.
Or perhaps...
"Will my children make it home from school?"
My men and I have darkened your city with fear.
But through this fear, we have given you the gift of order.
Anyone who stands against us will die in agony.
Anyone, including the police!
You will know the depth of my generosity.
But only if you do not fight back.
As long as you obey us, you will all know peace.
I, The Shadow, will protect you.
But for now, you have a decision to make.
I bid you good evening.
Enjoy this beautiful night.
- Huzzah! - Huzzah!
80% of television news coverage
is about crime and violence.
Children learning from a young age
that life's about surviving, not thriving.
Gangsters are role models,
the drug dealers are career advisers.
What I'm trying to say...
is we need a role model for the kids.
Someone who's inspirational,
who gives power back to the people.
Valentine is a superhero, in the movie.
Look, Bono,
my job is to make money,
not to inspire people.
- Thank you. - Thank you for your time.
[indistinct chatter]
OK, girls, girls, girls, five more minutes to runway, OK?
- Mr. Wawan. - Yes?
There's a guy here for you.
Oh, my God. Bono?
What? Superhero?
Come on.
Look, I'm trying to make a movie. I need your help.
And just keep it down.
I'm looking for a beautiful girl, young,
good at martial arts.
OK. She's 23,
flawless skin, legs for days.
Look at her. Oh, my God. Gorgeous, right?
See? And this one...
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, I love her. Don't you love her? Look at her.
She just woke up like this. Oh, my God...
Good, so, who knows which kind of martial arts?
None of them.
Muai Thai champion, body that won't quit, but she ugly.
This one's Wushu. Her hands are like, [grunts]
but she ugly.
Ooh! You want karate?
Well, she's short andshe ugly.
This is really all you've got, Wan?
I gotta pee.
Here you go.
What are you doing? Please stop that!
[man] Don't be like that.
- Come here. - What are you doing?
Let me go!
- What... Let me go! - Sir, please--
[grunting]
[groaning]
What did I miss?
I think we just found her.
So, what's this movie about?
Before we get to that, let me be real with you.
Every producer...
said no to this movie,
which means we have to take action
and prove all the producers wrong.
But it's not just for them.
You're gonna be a role model for the kids.
We're gonna inspire the people of Batavia City,
the people of this country.
and, hey, maybe the whole world.
Uh, what are we talking about here?
We're talking about making a movie, Val.
- Why you call me Val? - Because you are Valentine.
What's Valentine?
What's this guy's deal?
It's a superhero movie.
Finally! There! My first question answered.
OK, now that we're all in the same page,
any other questions?
C-- Can I get a drink?
Oh, yeah, I'll get it.
OK, so we start tomorrow. We'll go out and fight crime.
Get it on camera, release the teasers on YouTube,
so that everyone knows that this hero exists.
Wait, I've got to fight for real?
- Yes, for real. - What? For real?
Don't worry, we'll take precaution for your safety,
but, uh, seeing your skill sets, I think you can handle it.
Do I get any days off?
[scoffs] Honey, you're fine.
- But will I get paid? - [chuckles]
- I'm getting paid here, right? - Yes, of course.
What? She is?
Uh...
So, what do I wear?
OK, so the design could use some work.

[man] Hurry up! Give us the money!
Come on! Where's the rest of it?
[clerk] This all there is,
look for yourself!
[man] Hand it all over!
- Open it! Just take it all! - [whispers] Wan? What the hell?
- [clerk] Please, no! - [whispers] Fight 'em!
Whatever, I just want food!
Eat that! Get 'em!
Hey!
[grunting]
Hello, police? Police?
[grunting]
Uh, buddy? Buddy?
You should call the police, OK? Thanks.
Wan! Let's go!
Hello... Hello, police?
How was it? What happened?
Yeah!
We did it, we did it!
We did it!
Amazing!
Yes.
[both laughing]
Wooh!
- Holy shit, Wan. - Well, it's not my fault.
Obviously I wasn't born for this.
I'm no cameraman, I'm a stylist, remember?
Nor are you a good stylist.
That cape is useless, it almost choked me to death.
You cannot blame all this on me.
Why didn't you tell me you were gonna
punch here and there that fast?
Everything on fast forward, my hands couldn't keep up.
You know, you were like, everywhere.
Or maybe it's because your mask keeps sliding off my face.
And I'm bruised up, because nothing's protecting my arms,
my knees.
[reporter] Two robbers were apprehended
by a woman in a mask.
Sir, can you tell me about what happened here last night?
[clerk] Yes, ma'am.
I was opening the register...
OK, so you're getting need kneepads,
shin guards, wrist guards,
you need protection.
[reporter] Did she say anything,
or leave a message for you?
No cape.
[clerk] She told me to call
the police, then she left.
We need to trade the rope for handcuffs.
I'll fix the mess.
[reporter] ...woman behind the mask.
You need to grow some balls.
I like your choice of color.
And the hair, it looks very nice.
Thank you.
We need to figure out a way
- to take these guys down faster. - These guys down faster.

Eyewitness reports from around Batavia City
confirm that a masked woman
has been stopping robberies all over town.
The suspects have been apprehended by the police.
[siren wailing at distance]
Sir, what is your opinion about Valentine?
- I don't have time to comment. - I just have one question.
Will the police be cooperating with Valentine
to reduce crime rates in Batavia City?
The Batavia City Police Department
does not condone the activities of any civilian vigilantes.
- That's all I have to say. - But, sir,
with so many criminals on the streets,
couldn't the police use someone like Valentine
to help keep the city safe at night?
Sir! Please, sir, just give us one quote!
So, how long have you been studying silat?
Since I can remember.
My father taught me and my brother everything.
Why silat?
For my family, silat is the way of life.
Your father must be very proud of who you've become
because of silat.
- He's dead. - Oh.
I'm-- I'm sorry.
I didn't realize I miss those moments,
until they suddenly became memories, so...
And you? Why a superhero movie?
Because I believe that the smallest action...
can have a big effect in someone else's life.
And your family?
[Wawan] Guys, something's happening!
Let's go, we got to go, we got to go!
[engine revving]
[grunting]
Let's go!
- Go after her! - The door won't open!
Give me that!

[reporter] The two suspects were brought
to the precinct for interrogation.
where they were charged with robbery and aggravated assault.
By all accounts, this means that the masked woman
known as Valentine is back in action.
According to witnesses,
Valentine was sighted chasing the criminals in this area.
You're really planning to sell our house?
Where have you been? Is the cafe open all night now?
Easy, Mom. Let me talk to her.
[Umbra] Sri.
You understand...
there are a lot of bad memories
in this house for all of us, right?
Dad died here.
I still have nightmares about it.
Every night.
Listen.
Maybe by selling this house,
we'll all get a chance to start over.
If we really sell this house,
We won't just lose the bad memories.
We'll lose all of them!
[grunts]
The true identity of the masked female vigilante
known as Valentine, who has been single-handedly
apprehending bands of notorious criminals all over Batavia City
remains a mystery even to the Batavia City Police Department.
I think we did it.
We have convinced them enough to believe in Valentine.
Right. [laughs]
So when are we gonna start the shoot?
- It's only a matter of time. - Yeah.
Speaking of which, um...
- Uh, give me a second. - All right.
Just wait.
[both] Here we go.
I got you...
- some new gadgets. - Yay!
Now, thanks to technology,
you just stick it to your face like this.
I'm telling you, girl, these gadgets will change your life.
These aren't gadgets. They're tools.
Are you on your period?
I thought it was time to celebrate
because of how far you've come.
I just want to start to shoot already.
We can celebrate then.
- I think-- I think I'm gonna go rest.
- OK.
Look at that boy.
Did you see that? You hurt his feelings.
I'm tired of waiting.
And you think I'm not?
But waiting's our only option.
You just have to be patient for a little bit longer.
Once you're a big movie star, you can complain all you want,
but Bono has done nothing but try to help you.
That poor man.
Many look down on Valentine's
vigilante methods of crime-fighting.
But her action have succeeded in reducing
public fears surrounding the infamous crime lord
Shadow and his subordinates.
Still, even to this day,
police and civilians alike are left to wonder,
who is this masked young heroine?
Ever since Valentine first
started her one-woman war on crime,
civilians all over town have reported feeling safer
in Batavia City.
Can you tell me how you feel about Valentine?
[woman] Well, the police certainly
aren't going to protect us.
So, it's nice to know someone will.
[reporter] What about you, sir?
[man] I like how she doesn't
play by the rules.
She does what the cops can't.
Well, there you have it, folks. Back to studio.
- Who is she? - Her name is Valentine.
That's cute.
[indistinct chatter]
[sirens wailing]
[tires screeching]
Yes, sir.
Move back! Get back!
[indistinct chatter]
[chief] What's the situation inside?
[officer] He refuses to talk to anyone,
sir. Except Lukman.
- Officer Lukman? - Yes.
- Sir. - Sir.
- I'm Lukman.
- Have they been briefed about this already?
All right, let's get started.
I'll make the call.
Hostages confirmed.
- [Lukman] Hello? - Officer Lukman.
From this point forward,
I wish to speak with you, and you alone.
[Lukman] Why is that?
Wouldn't you rather hear about the hostages?
OK. Let them go first, then we'll talk.
Your confidence is inspiring, officer.
Unfortunately, you're not the one in control.
These people's lives are at stake.
If you want them returned safely,
then you will meet my demands.
And what is it you want?
First,
I want Selly, the reporter from Channel 11,
to be here in exactly five minutes.
OK, what else?
You must disband the entire Batavia Police Force.
You have ten minutes to comply.
- Ma'am, are you Selly? - That's me.
[whimpering]
Now, let's see if your precious police
will be able to save you.
Welcome, Miss Selly.
Would you kindly cover this melodrama?
I want everyone in this fine city to know
what happens inside of this bank today.
But what is your reason
for doing all of this in the first place?
This way, please.
Currently, there are three hostages here
that have bombs wired around their bodies.
Their fate rests upon the outcome of negotiations
between Shadow and the police.
This is Selly from Channel 11 reporting live.
Sorry, sir, but it's time.
We're moving in.
You can't do that. It'll ruin the negotiation process.
There's no negotiation!
The police of Batavia City do not submit to madmen.
- Hendro! - Sir, yes, sir!
Selly, leave.
Shadow, help me understand.
Why exactly do we have to dissolve the police force?
Because they are worthless, empty-headed dogs.
OK, then, free the hostages.
You know they're innocent in this.
They have nothing to do with the police of Batavia.
So be it.
[police] Hands up!
On your knees.
[sobbing and whimpering]
[screaming]
Holy molly.
Oh, my God.

Shadow and the clown are leaving.
Val, get down here, now!
- Which way are they heading? - They're heading towards us.
[engine revving]
[sirens wailing]
- What are you doing? - We're gonna get them.
- What? - They have bombs.
Can we just leave it to the police this time?
Everybody just hang on, I've got a plan.

- What now? - Jump!
- Jump what? - I said, "Jump!"
- That's your plan? - Jump!
Jump now, like-- Like Batman.

[Wawan] A year ago,
Bono and his family were in an accident.
They got into a car crash
with some robbers who were running from the police.
So Valentine was his daughter's name?
Yeah.
She was seven when she died.
Bono thought that if someone had been there to help,
maybe his family would still be alive today.
But I'm not helping.
Even when Valentine was there, 36 officers wound up dead.
And every single one of those families are mourning!
But because of Valentine, a lot more families don't have to.
Sri.
[sighs]
You always told me to face my fears.
And that there was nothing that you hated more than cowards.
In order to defeat our enemies,
we must first defeat the enemies within us.
But then, why couldn't you be brave?
I don't understand.
[sobbing]
I don't want to be scared.
What if I can't make it stop?

A shocking turn of event
at the Batavia penitentiary tonight.
Let's move over to Selly for the full story.
According to the witness,
the criminal known as Shadow has freed the inmates
from the penitentiary.
- this was the largest... - [phone ringing]
- [women screaming] - [man] Don't move!
[man] Shut up! Stay where you are!
- Please! - Shut up!
Shut up! Back off! Don't come any closer!
- Shut up! - [screaming]
If you take one more step, I'm gonna shoot her.
No! Please don't hurt my daughter! I'll do--
Shut up! I'll kill her! Back off!
Please just let my baby go!
[wood cracks]
[sobbing] Oh, my God.
Hang in there. Please.
Please hold on, you're going to be OK.
- Mom. - Just hold on.
We're going to get you some help.
Someone!
Someone help us! Someone help!

Oh, yeah, will Safety First really gonna back up
the royal guard tonight?
Yeah. Isn't your division coming too?
Listen, man. Just be careful out there.
Shadow's gonna be looking for events with lots of cops.
You never know what could happen.
That's true. I've been watching the news lately.
You don't need to worry.
Let's just both agree to watch out for each other, OK?
Will do.
[sirens wailing]
[distant phone ringing]
[sirens wailing]
Stand by.
Man.
- You got a package. - Thanks.
[Prince] In the last few months,
it's been getting harder and harder
to misinterpret the signs that our world
is spinning out of kilter.
Major cities in North and South America,
Asia and Australia are nearly out of water
due to massive droughts and melting glaciers.
This is our moment.
This is the time for those who see and care and understand
and are willing to work to say, "This time,
the warnings will not be ignored.
This time, we will prepare.
This time, we will rise to the occasion, and we will prevail!"
[audience cheering and applause]
[confused chatter]
[Shadow] Watch closely behind me.
I could blow up this building right now.
But I'm certain you would all prefer it...
if I told you what my demands are instead.
Shadow is back in action. Eco Green, Batavia South-side.
If you choose to make things difficult...
I will make sure this ends in fire.
Make sure to capture this, Miss Selly.
I'm sure you could all offer me a thousand reasons
not to end your lives.
But those reasons are meaningless.
There is only one way to prevent this tragedy.
I demand that you bring me...
Police Commissioner Syamsul.
[sirens wailing]
- Yes, sir! - Now!
Follow me!
Everyone in position!
- Prepare to force entry! - Commissioner.
What's the status?
Shadow has a hostage.
He's taken the prince.
If these criminals want to start a war,
- Then, we'll give them one! - But, sir--
- Prepare an infiltration squad! - Sir, yes, sir!
That damn psychopath!
Let's move!

Umbra, you don't have to do this.
I have all the evidence here.
You're right to be angry.
But let me help you get justice.
Looks like you're surrounded, Umbra. On your knees.
Take another step, and he dies.
Or would you prefer we make an arrangement?
What's the matter, chief? Don't have the guts?
Don't you play games with me.
Oh, I think we're well past that.
Then tell me your demands.
There's only one things that I want.
It's you. I'll trade you
for this royal guest.
You want to take away this city's symbol of order?
If I comply with a thug like you,
it shows that our city negotiates with terrorists.
Oh, really? You think you're so special?
If you die here tonight,
you'll be replaced and forgotten.
It's time for you to make a choice.
Tell your men to back off.
Fall back! Everyone back!
All units retreat!
You want to know the real reason
why all of these horrible things have happened in this city?
Tell them the truth
about that day in 2010.
Explain why this city can no longer trust the police.
I want them to see what a monster you are!
Confess.
[Syam] Five years ago,
when I was the District Chief...
[man] Does our friendship
mean nothing to you?
[sighs]
I told you, Buma. Don't worry about it.
Don't worry about it?
Syam, you sold confiscated evidence!
You committed a serious crime!
Do you know what could happen because of that?
These weapons will just make the crime rates worse again.
This could endanger our wives,
our children, our families, the entire city!
We are the police! Where the hell is your conscience?
Sooner or later, someone is gonna find out!
Buma, for old time's sake,
just walk away from this.
That's impossible.
Buma, have you forgotten?
The three of us were delinquents who joined the police
so we could control our destiny!
We're the same. How dare you try to lecture me?
Never!
I'm nothing like you.
[gunshot]
[man] This is OP1, sir.
[Lukman] Umbra...
Take care of Mom.
Four, three, two, one.
At this time, we have confirmed the death of the criminal
known as Shadow from a police sniper's round.
New evidence discovered by police inspector Lukman
has revealed Shadow's identity to be Umbra Bumantara,
the son of the late Inspector General Bumantara.
Five years ago, the death of Inspector Bumantara
was closely related to an illegal weapons deal,
that disadvantaged the country at a total cost
of nearly 250 billion rupiah.
New evidence discovered by Inspector Lukman, however,
has revealed that the deal was actually setup
by Bumantara's colleagues at that time.
Commissioner General Syamsul and General Bambang.
They set this tragic scandal in motion
using Inspector Bumantara as a scapegoat
for the entire operation.
Umbra, the man we now know as Shadow,
terrorized Batavia City as his method to punish
the very same police department
that caused the death of his father.
It's difficult to justify his actions,
- but we at Channel 11 understand...
-[gunshot]
[man] Shadow, the terror
of Batavia City
has cast a light upon the despicable crime committed...
[woman] ...Syamsul sacrificed himself,
dying at Shadow's hand
to save the royal prince's life
and to return honor to the police department.
[woman 2] The people of Batavia
have expressed their gratitude
to the police, especially Syamsul,
for their actions in protecting the city
and fighting back against the numerous crimes
conducted by Shadow's syndicate.
Even though the city mourns as one for the death of
Commissioner General Syamsul,
we know now that Bumantara was set up by his own colleagues.
- Commissioner Syamsul...
- Commissioner Bumantara was a victim.
Today, he gets his good name back.
but what about the misery that has come to the people
of this city in the wake of that tragedy?
Inspector.
[Sri] This is not the end.
Life has many trials.
It's up to us to find the strength within ourselves.
The strength to overcome them.
Even if it feels like
everything around you is falling apart,
it does not mean you have to fall apart too.
It's true. You don't always
get to choose what kind of person you become.
But sometimes,
fate has its own plans to make you even better
than you ever thought possible.

This is not the end of my story.
