Senario Lang Buana

A long time ago, the Malay Peninsula was in chaos.

A long time ago, the Malay Peninsula was divided.

That was then…

when shaved ice wasn't even created

and Syarifah Aini wasn't a singer yet.

DJ Dave, Hail Amir, and Mary Sia Ling Ling

weren't singers yet.

And the story took place between these periods.

Lang Buana.

Ready.

Be on your toes.

Be on your toes, everybody.

Listen.

Right flank, rise. Rise, everyone.

Attack!

Ouch!

-Daik! -Watch it!

Steady, Daik. Get out of the water.

How did you fall into the water?

Hold on to the stick!

I'll pull you up.

Daik! Get on board!

Watch him.

It's so tiring.

Oh, my. I'm gonna have a seizure.

Gosh. What's wrong with you guys? I'm a friend of the river, you know.

I'm starving.

Why can't you be more patient?

But I'm starving!

Don't worry.

We're not far from the city.

Did you hear that? A city.

We'll have a feast there.

Can we? We're broke.

We've been rafting for four days.

And we haven't seen any cities. Not even one.

You can always drink from the river.

I can't drink from the river

or from the swamp anymore.

I've had enough.

I need clean water.

The water tastes better here, though.

It's a bit salty.

What do you mean?

Try it yourself.

Hey, I think you should stop drinking now.

What do you mean stop? You wanted me to drink from the river.

I like the taste.

There's too many of them.

There's a war here.

That explains it.

They died two days ago.

Hey. We're here. It's the city.

We're here.

Finally, we've reached the city.

Why is there smoke around here?

Sir, you have me.

You don't need anybody else. I'm totally reliable.

Run!

-Welcome. -My lord.

It is I, Datuk Merewang, who sent you the letter.

How was your journey, princes?

And how is the king doing?

He must've mistaken us for someone else.

We don't look like princes, do we?

The king is in perfect health, Datuk.

What?

He sends his regards to you. Really.

Thank you.

-I welcome you to Lang Buana City. -Please.

Welcome, princes.

Ouch.

The city looks weird to me.

Perhaps there was an attack recently.

Look.

-He must've died of a heart attack. -No, he didn't.

What do you mean? He died young.

Why are there so many dead people, Datuk?

This is why we had hoped for your arrival here.

Their attacks are getting stronger.

Did you say you were attacked?

Yes. And they'll keep attacking us

until we bow down to Sang Nira.

He really is a formidable foe.

He's a ruthless oppressor.

And he's heartless, too.

He kills people mercilessly

by death sentence…

and anal impalement.

He has no mercy.

Hey!

We need to make money.

Weigh them properly.

How long will our journey take?

Five days on foot if you hike the hills, sir.

But I can take you through the woods in just one day.

You'd only rush us.

We'll track them by the river.

They thought they could run from me.

No one can run from Orang Kaya of Sri Bentan.

Do you hear me?

Yes, Orang Kaya.

Good.

I can stomp on ants,

and I can surely stomp on these three monkeys.

-Orang Kaya. -What?

But ants are too small.

They're African ants. They're bigger.

You're talking about African ants.

But this is the Malay Peninsula. Everything here comes in smaller sizes.

They get as big as cats when they're older.

I've never seen an ant the size of a cat.

Have you?

No.

But I saw one as big as a match head.

But in Mentakab

they are as big as your fist.

If you get bitten…

-You can't if they're as big as cats. -I'm not lying to you.

Hey!

Would you shut up?

It's time to go!

Look!

It's the enemy!

Coming through! Stop!

Why did you come here?

If it's from Sang Nira,

I won't read it.

We'll never bow to him.

We won't!

We'll fight to the death!

We will!

Wait.

We are ready for his next attack

for we have three princes with us.

We're stronger than before.

Are you looking for a fight?

Are you human or a tiger?

His body is full of tattoos.

We're not intimidated!

Consider yourself lucky, for you have such legacies.

But don't get too cocky, for we are feared by our enemies!

My heart is crying,

for it is longing for something.

If a fight is what you're looking for,

rest assured we're your strongest foe.

I can't comprehend what he was saying.

Enjoy the drinks.

What do we do now?

I think we better tell them the truth.

Yes, I think you're right.

But we better keep it a secret

until it's the right time to tell them.

For now, let them think that we're princes.

That's more like it.

No, I don't think that's right.

We'd be cursed if we continue with this.

I don't want to get huge feet.

-Seriously? -Yes.

It's bad to mock the royal descent.

You'd get cursed with huge feet.

Now, imagine it.

After you.

-My lord. -My lord.

My lord.

The food will be ready any moment now.

Thank you for your patience.

Datuk Merewang…

What do you want, Kiambang?

-My lord. -What?

-Show them your respect. -To whom?

I mean them.

Datuk, Sir Frank Mocking Power is here

to assist us in the battle,

with six cannons and 17 hand grenades.

What did they bring?

He must love grenades so much.

Tell them to leave.

I don't need any help from the white men.

You can't trust them.

But he brought 53 rifles.

I'd lose the city to them.

Kiambang.

Yes. I'm the brightest in Lang Buana City.

I think you better leave.

I don't need your help.

These princes have come to our rescue.

What?

Talk to him, Gunung.

-Yes, talk to him. -What should I talk to him about?

Anything. We're princes, remember?

We're expected to be eloquent.

He's right.

Just tell him that it's time to bathe ourselves.

All right.

What happened to him?

He's having a seizure.

How can he fight now?

He's having a seizure.

Forgive me, elephant's foot.
