The film was directed by Enison Sinaro and written by Wong Wai Leng and Andy Logam-Tan.

According to Kalyana Shira Films: The movie itself is trying to capture the moment from many different point of views; the terrorists, victims' families and foreigners.

I Gusti Ngurah Gde, head of Bali's film board, said: "We fear people who do not understand it would trigger conflict and direct hatred at a certain group.

"[3] This portion of the film takes place in a hotel in Thailand, where Hambali (Saputra) is meeting with other members of Jemaah Islamiah, including Muklas.

Hambali wishes to strike back for the capture of the Jemaah Islamiyah agents in Singapore, where an attempted bombing was stopped.

In Bali, Imam Samudra, as well as Amrozi and his brother Ali Imron begin making preparations for the attack.

They pick Paddy's Pub and the Sari Club as the best targets for bombing because they will minimize Indonesian casualties since both cater exclusively to foreigners.

Ali Imron manages to stall the police, giving the bombmaker time to hide any incriminating evidence.

Catrelle is asked to bring the body to the morgue, where she sees a scorched corpse wearing a necklace similar to hers.

She then explains that her boyfriend died in the World Trade Center attacks, and they buried an empty casket because his body was never found.

Diya at first refuses, but Thompson pushes him and triples the amount she originally offered in order to pay for his service.
