The Siege at Thorn High (Pengepungan di Bukit Duri)

Cool sketch.

Thanks.

You're Silvi's brother, right?

Yeah.

Can you do me a favor?

Give this to your sister.

What's that?

A letter.

A love letter?

Give it to her yourself.

What's up?

He wants to give a love letter.

To whom?

You don't think it's for me, do you?

Oh, my God, Panca! A love letter in this day and age?

You think this is like applying for a job? Text me, or talk to me directly.

- Can I? - Of course.

But I don't know whether I'll accept your confession or not.

Are you going to talk?

Woosh!

And the hero's dead.

Is recess over already? But it's only been five minutes.

What's going on?

Kids, classes are cancelled today.

Go straight home, don't go anywhere else.

What's going on, sir?

There's a riot.

We don't know how bad it is.

Come on now! It's important that all of you go home immediately!

Avoid the crowds on the street.

Yes, sir.

- Be careful, you're Chinese! - Edwin! Win! Edwin!

Come on, walk faster.

- Why the rush? - Hurry up!

- Silvi, let me take you home! - No need, we can go by ourselves.

- It's not safe! Get in the car! - No need!

- Go ahead without me. - Yes, sir.

- Why are you here? - I'm coming with you.

- No need. - I'm coming!

This bus is not going to our street.

It's fine, I know where to get off.

Have you tried calling Mom and Dad?

The number you have reached is not available.

Their phones are off.

I hope they're home.

OWNED BY NATIVES

There's a Chinese!

Get out, you pig!

Get down!

Get out, you Chinese!

Close the door! Close the windows.

Get out!

Go, Mr. Driver!

Hey, fuckers! Get out of the bus!

Get out!

- Sis! - Silvi!

Shut up!

Silvi!

Silvi!

Silvi!

- Shut up! - No!

- They are my friends! - Shut up!

They are my friends!

Don't touch my brother!

No one's touching your brother!

- Please, sir. They're my friends! - You fool!

You fool!

Shut up!

No!

Silvi!

- Silvi. - What's with you?

What do you want?

Are you a Chinese too?

No, I'm not, sir.

Then why are you defending them?

Panca!

You brat!

Now...

Get out of here.

Panca.

Scram!

- Silvi. - Panca...

Get out or I will kill you!

- Panca! - Shut up!

Quick, strip her! Hurry!

- Fuck you! - Sis!

Sis!

Sis...

Sis!

Hey! Slant-eye! Don't go there! It's dangerous!

To hell with you!

Mom! Dad!

Mom! Dad!

Dad! Mom!

Mom!

Dad! Mom!

CHINESE EVIL PIGS STEALING OUR WEALTH

Due to the bombing on New Year's Eve,

several social experts

warn about the possibility of another big riot happening

between community groups in some of the high-risk areas in the country.

Social observer, Haryono Sungkono said that the clashes

between two social groups in the east of the city can't be taken lightly.

GO BACK TO CHINA, BASTARDS!

RELIGIOUS WORSHIP DOES NOT KILL

Equality!

Stop racism!

Social justice!

For us all!

Anti-discrimination!

We're all the same!

- Slant-eyes! - Fuck you!

Police!

MISSING ODY NUGROHO

THORN HIGH JAKARTA

Our students are not like any other. They need strict teachers.

I've been teaching in five high schools for the past two years

as a substitute teacher.

Five schools in two years?

Why do you keep moving around so much?

I moved whenever the school no longer needed a substitute teacher.

Well, you're lucky because we are extremely understaffed right now.

Many of our teachers resigned.

Why is that?

It's not the students' fault, if that's what you're thinking.

As adults, we have to show that we're the ones in authority,

and then the kids will leave us alone.

The only thing they're afraid of right now

is being sent here and having to face me.

Because they know I wield authority.

If I get them expelled without a letter of recommendation,

the other schools won't accept them.

I will keep that in mind.

Your name is Edwin?

- Just Edwin? - Yes, sir.

Do you have a last name?

Just Edwin.

When I read your application letter,

I didn't know that you were...

Chinese?

Chinese Indonesian.

I hope that won't be a problem for you.

I may be the only person here

who doesn't care about racial differences.

My father is from the east,

and my mother is from the western region.

My children-in-law are from here, from the north, the south...

But none of them are Chinese.

Edwin, I'm on your side.

I'm just worried that you could get into trouble here.

This is Class 3F, right?

Can't you read?

- You're from Class 3F? - Yes.

Why are you outside?

Who are you?

I'm your new homeroom teacher.

What happened to Mr. Yakub?

No idea. You should know.

No, why should I?

Am I his family?

Weirdo.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

I'm your new homeroom teacher. Please take your seats.

Dropping stuff like shit.

What did you say?

My name is Edwin.

You don't have to call me "sir" if you don't want to.

Why don't you use your real name? Like Tan Jung Ho or whatever.

Edwin is my real name. What's yours?

Tan Jung Ho.

You're Toni?

I'm Toni.

If you're in Toni's seat, then you're Reihan?

That'll be me.

That means none of you are sitting in your assigned seats.

Are you here to teach or joke around?

Do you talk to your parents like that too?

And you're wondering why they hate you?

I know kids like you.

Always angry, and you don't even know why.

Maybe it's because your father beats you.

Because he thinks you're a hopeless case.

Bad grades, slow learner,

a complete troublemaker, right?

- How did he know? - Shut up!

Okay, settle down. Let's continue.

I will also be teaching arts.

I know many of you don't appreciate art, but what I want to teach is...

I could find out who threw this if I wanted to.

But never mind, I already know who did.

Must be a wimp.

Such a lame-ass throw.

Come to me when you need help, okay?

There's no reception here.

The signal is scrambled so the kids can't use their phones.

It's hard to control them. They always use it to cheat.

Actually, I wanted to check the time. I don't have my watch on me.
