Valentine (2017) - full transcript

...in Batavia City tonight,

as yet another coordinated

series of armed robberies

have left four dead

and 35 injured at

six different crime scenes...

...left to wonder who could

possibly save our city now.

Hello?

Edi?

Dad, help me!

I've brought

your beloved son home.

What has he done?

You should ask

what youhave done.

He has nothing to do with this.

Let him go!

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.

- 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?

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.

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.

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.

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,

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!

Don't be like that.

- Come here.

- What are you doing?

Let me go!

Let me go!

Let me go!

- What... Let me go!

- Sir, please...

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?

Honey, you're fine.

But will I get paid?

- 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.

Sri... Sri, Sri.

Sri?

Hurry up! Give us the money!

Come on! Where's the rest of it?

This all there is,

look for yourself!

Hand it all over!

- Open it! Just take it all!

- Wan? What the hell?

- Please, no!

- Fight 'em!

Whatever, I just want food!

Eat that! Get 'em!

Hey!

Hello, police? Police?

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.

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.

Two robbers were apprehended

by a woman in a mask.

Sir, can you tell me about

what happened here last night?

Yes, ma'am.

I was opening the register...

OK, so you're

getting need kneepads,

shin guards, wrist guards,

you need protection.

Did she say anything,

or leave a message for you?

No cape.

She told me to call

the police, then she left.

We need to trade

the rope for handcuffs.

I'll fix the mess.

...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.

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?

Guys, something's happening!

Let's go, we got to go,

we got to go!

Let's go!

- Go after her!

- The door won't open!

Give me that!

Damn.

Hey, we got company.

Perfect timing.

Gonna catch these hands.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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?

Well, the police certainly

aren't going to protect us.

So, it's nice to know

someone will.

What about you, sir?

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.

Yes, sir.

Move back! Get back!

What's the situation inside?

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.

- Hello?

- Officer Lukman.

From this point forward,

I wish to speak with you,

and you alone.

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.

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.

Hands up!

On your knees.

Holy molly.

Oh, my God.

- Come on! Come on! Come on!

- Hurry up! Quick!

Go, go, go.

Shadow and the clown

are leaving.

Val, get down here, now!

- Which way are they heading?

- They're heading towards us.

- 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.

- Get on the roof.

- What for?

Just do it, trust me.

Come on!

- Wawan, you ready?

- What?

- Camera!

- OK.

- What now?

- Jump!

- Jump what?

- I said, "Jump!"

- That's your plan?

- Jump!

Jump now, like... Like Batman.

You getting this?

Bono...

Valentine!

What is that?

Quick, come on, come on!

I'm not Batman.

You can do this.

Never mind.

I quit!

♪ The daddy's on the bus

say I love you ♪

♪ I love you, I love you ♪

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.

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.

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...

Don't move!

Shut up! Stay where you are!

- Please!

- Shut up!

Shut up! Back off!

Don't come any closer!

Shut up!

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!

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!

"I have fought a good fight.

I have finished my course.

I have kept the faith.

Then, shall the dust return.

The spirit shall return

onto God."

I'm sorry.

39 seconds this time.

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.

Stand by.

Man.

- You got a package.

- Thanks.

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!"

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.

- 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!

Hey!

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.

Five years ago,

when I was

the District Chief...

Does our friendship

mean nothing to you?

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.

This is OP1, sir.

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...

Shadow, the terror

of Batavia City

has cast a light upon the

despicable crime committed...

...Syamsul sacrificed himself,

dying at Shadow's hand

to save the royal prince's life

and to return honor

to the police department.

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.

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.

This is only the beginning.
