Plot

[edit]

A Royal Malaysian Police special task force led by Roslan sought to bring down a mafia group known as the Gang Anarchist led by Asyraff in Kuala Lumpur. A young policeman named Zul was absorbed in a police task force to help Roslan solve the case, but the situation became more complicated as Asyraff began manipulating feelings, minds and sympathy between Roslan and Zul. A secret would be revealed when Anarkis robbed a Dato Meor's bank, Damofa Bank. What's the secret? How does the police plan to beat the Gang?

Roslan was called by Asyraff that he is arrived in his house where he's planning to kill Diana in. He runs to his house and calls Diana, but instead Diana calls him, she goes to her room and prays for the God. As Asyraff prepares to kill Diana, he sees that she is praying, Asyraff then leaves the house instead of killing her. Meanwhile, Zul handcuffs Raj and escapes from the police station to save Mia. Zul tries to call Mia but was run over by the lorry that Asyraff was driving. Asyraff kills several police officers and captures Zul.

At the warehouse, Zul is tied up by Asyraff, along with his fiancée, Mia and Dato Mior. Asyraff explains to Zul that his mother got raped by Dato Mior. Asyraff and Rizal then hire an assassin who tries to get revenge on Dato Mior. At the court, his mother retracts the lawsuit. As the assassin prepares to kill Dato Mior, he was shot dead by Roslan. Asyraff said that he's planning to change the world, getting Zul to join his side, but he kills Dato Mior instead of sparing him. The police surrounds the warehouse areas in which Asyraff was inside. Zul and Mia manage to escape but Asyraff stops them, shooting Mia's leg. An engaging fight starts between Zul and Asyraff until he points to Mia with the gun. Roslan and his squad members, along with Asyraff's mother are watching and she tells Asyraff to stop. Asyraff counts to three to bring him the helicopter but it won't come, Asyraff refuses to lose, executing Mia, but he was shot dead by squad members.

Zul was sent to a mental hospital. Roslan apologies to Zul for doubting him then tells him a story about how this world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but this world will be ruined by those who watch evil doings and do nothing.
