The confrontation with Botak becomes the
turning point of their journey. The utterance of Lambang Merah from Botak’s
mouth, when he was assaulted by Man’s henchmen catches the attention of Idrus
and his siblings. In the end Idrus and his siblings manage to save Botak, and
as a reward Botak provides them with lodging and a new career path.
Botak brings them to Joni Hitam. Joni
happens to be an influential right hand manunderthe notorious secret society
named Lambang Merah. Gira and Afran’s skills were enough to convince Joni Hitam
to take the siblings in under his wings. Idrus agrees immediately as his prime
objective is to expose the secret that is deeply entrenched in Tok Long’s
heart.

Their potential and diligence leads them to
an audience with Tiger Lang, the head of Lambang Merah. Tiger Lang urges them to
stay on under his patronage with the promise of a life of luxury and wealth
which they would not be able to achieve elsewhere. Idrus becomes cautious of
the group as he worries he may be led astray, but agrees, in order to fulfil
his objectives. It is further compounded by Giran who becomes obsessed with gaining
wealth, and is consumed by the underworld. Deep in his heart, Idrus realizes the
bane of ignoring Tok Long’s instructions but surges on with doubt.

But what was planned by Idrus was not to
be. As a result of being basked in the lap of luxury and indulging with evil, Idrus’ primary mission dissipates with
everyone… Its obvious that illegal and
underground activities can cloud human minds. It’s a fact that love can blind
one’s journey. Whom one considers a friend, may not be one. Because of wealth,
they are willing to kill each other. They are unable to differentiate between
love and hatred because of their lifestyle picks. The relationship between the
siblings becomes estranged. The journey to discover Tok Long’s secret continues
to fade.
The question that arises – will
they still have the capability to uncover Tok Long’s and will they still have
the capability to reunite?
