Hearts of Freedom (Hati Merdeka - Merah Putih III)

The Regiment Huzaren Van Boreel goes up three to nil against the Java Riders Club.

And there's another score just at the end of the last chukka.

Well, that's it. Final score, Regiment Hurazen van Boreel 4 to the Java Riders Club 0.

Thank you to all the ladies and gentlemen who made it to the macth today.

Excellent shot, Captain!

Thank you, Colonel.

Not a real match against those peanuts, but some of them can really ride.

Even a monkey learn to ride a horse.

It's the brain that makes a polo player.

Indeed, Colonel.

Shall we continue our business in my office over lunch?

Congratulation, sir. Perhaps first you'd like to celebrate the victory of your team?

Make it two gins!

To the bar, gentlemen!

Cosy, eh?

Yes, yes.

I should just waste the bastards right now.

Easy, Tomas.

We're soldiers, not assassins.

He's taking too long.

Stall them

... and so after I finished with the first one, I went downstairs to the bar.

I had another drink and...

Jesus!

Stupid bloody darkie!

Get me a napkin!

Without us, what can they do?

This country is full of idiots!

Deliver these.

Then leave one by one.

See you at the rally point.

Where's Budi?

Now, I can take them out.

There's too many.

Budi's just a kid.

I said, "No!"

We can't.

We have to pull out.

If they take him alive?

They won't.

Now, move out.

Tomas!

Go!

You're the boss, Captain.

Where are your friends?

Allah, forgive me.

Marius, Dayan. Come on!

They're getting away!

HEARTS OF FREEDOM

You ready, Captain?

Yes, ready.

He'll get over it.

Maybe.

But will you, Captain?

It is said that...

"Time heals all wounds...

makes heroes of coward...

and wise men of fools."

You're an odd one, teacher.

Major Fadli was right. We could use some time off.

At least you get to see that pretty wife of yours.

When is she due?

Soon.

That's great.

Hopefully, we'll still be stationed here when "little Amir" arrives.

God willing.

God willing.

My love.

Easy, you don't want to hurt our child.

Don't worry. He's a strong boy.

He keeps on kicking. Feel...

And somehow you know it's a boy?

See how he fights? A rebel, like his father... but I won't let this one become a soldier.

Better she be a teacher.

Are you all right, dear?

You seem changed.

It's nothing.

Come, show me our new house.

This way, honey, that's just the kitchen.

I know...

but a good soldier always reconnoiters the terrain.

Senja... I got something for you.

Senja, got you something...

so your lips look better.

Not that your lips aren't already perfect.

It's not much, but...

Tomas!

Senja.

Sorry I'm late... you know that girls are never on time.

I would always wait for you.

Do you want to go inside and watch?

So handsome he is, acting like a hero.

Girls do like a man in uniform.

Fancy clothes don't win battles, Senja.

Don't be like that. I'm here with you.

Senja, hold on a second.

Look what I got.

Tomas...

Women shouldn't eat too much candy. You'll grow heavy!

Don't you know better than to tell a girl that?

Senja, do you know that...

I think you're the most beautiful girl I have never seen.

Senja, I want to ask you something.

Go ahead.

Senja, I think you should stay here in the city.

Well, when the war is over...

we could, you know... think about...

Marriage.

What?

I should forget about the war?

Just settle down and be your house slave?

I didn't mean that, Senja.

Look, the army is dangerous.

It's no place for a woman.

You think your war only hurts men, in battle?

Senja....

This war came into my home long before you joined the cadets.

I'm just trying to protect you.

And you've done it so well.

You punk!

Think about it...

if the revolution succeeds, no more parties.

No more getting drunk.

No more trips to Holland.

Here, drink this...

To the colonial militia, the KNIL.

What? So now you refuse a drink?

Tomorrow you are going to start training.

What's going on?

He always hides behind you skirts.

He needs to become a real man.

Yes, mother.

I 'm going to join the army.

And father has arranged it so I can fight my own people. Fantastic.

What?

He has to fight for the future of his family.

You leave next week for training in Ambon.

We haven't talked about this. He could be killed.

No.

What did you say?

What did you say?

I won't join the KNIL.

Why?

Because... because...

I want to join the Indonesian army.

What?

I'm joining the Indonesian army.

You punk!

Again!

Stop! Enough!

Marius, please don't go.

He's right. It's time I started to act like a man.

But this time I'll show him.

Who knows? Maybe I'll be a General.

You don't have to prove anything to him.

Not to him...

to me.

Hey,Tomas...

How did it go?

Fantastic, Marius.

We went for a walk, wacthed a gamelan dance, and I bought her sweets.

We strolled arm in arm.

I figured I would quit while I was still ahead.

Tomas, you pissed her off and she ran away, huh?

Pretty much, yeah.

Dayan, your friend here is just not capable.

You should learn from an expert.

Watch me.

To your left...

you see the target to the west.

Then you place your heavy artillery here east of the enemy...

and you move slowly.

Patience, aim...

then fire.

I 'm sorry. Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Will you keep me company tonight?

The man is a master.

When I face a woman, I just can't say a word.

Oh, sorry, Dayan.

Retard!

Anyway, don't worry, Dayan...

Girls love a great listener.

Hey, waitress!

One coffee, please.

Yes, sir.

Do you want coffee?

Two coffees.

Waitress! Waitress!

No need to waste your time with that dirty rabble.

Here, serve us. Anyone for coffee?

Yes, Captain.

Okay, coffee for everyone.

Excuse me?

I said, you and that drunken buffoon and the rest of Major Fadli's little dogs should leave.

This place is for real soldier.

Not drunks, retards and coolies.

Captain Sofwan?

Captain Sofwan?

Correct.
