Damyang, being of the universe.

Open the gates of abundance.

Through pure blood.

When the time comes.

Bow to Your command.

Damyang, being of the universe.

Amen.

Erwina.

Gosh!

FEBRUARY 9TH, 2014, KLIWON FRIDAY

Another needle prick?

You spend so much seeing psychiatrist,

yet you're still hallucinating?

Have you taken your meds?

It's only been a month.

Besides, the hallucinations only started recently.

Enough about that.

Come on, dear.

Mom.

For housing,

I've found a few cheap rental homes.

We can move right away

while we wait for this one to sell.

This is my house.

Vroom. Vroom. Vroom.

Mom.

Farel and Akbar are going to the beach with their mom today.

They invited me too.

Since Uncle Rian is staying, can I go, Mom?

- Pretty please? I want to go. - Hey, hey!

Gosh. Dear, move.

Other mothers often take their kids out to play, though.

Come here, dear.

Don't you want to play with me?

Playing at the beach isn't fun.

You'd have more fun playing with me!

Mom! Stop!

- Mom! - Am I handsome now?

- Am I handsome now? - But you're a girl, Mom!

How can I be a boy?

That's for Mom.

Rian! Come out!

Pay your debts!

I know you're in there!

- Rian! Come out! - Take care of that.

- Rian! You've got a ton of debt to pay! - You go.

You're the one with money.

It's for us to eat.

Not for paying off debts.

Ask your workplace...

For another loan.

Hey! Rian!

- Take responsibility! Pay off your debt! - Bastard!

Hurry! Pay off your debt!

Jody. You know what to do, right?

Rian! Come out!

You owe them money, why should I pay?

Rian! Pay off your debt!

Rian! Hurry and come out! Pay off your debt!

Rian! Show yourself!

- Quietly. - Rian! Come out!

Pay off your debt!

Be quiet.

Rian! Stop hiding! Come out!

You've got a ton of debt! Pay up!

Pay up or I'll take your life!

Rian! Pay up!

Come out!

- Are you tired? - Yeah.

We should've just used your toy car.

Can we really?

Wait, Jody.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Excuse me.

Wait here.

Put less...

Hello, Sir.

This is all?

You haven't paid off your loan.

And it's overdue.

But this deduction is too much.

I have urgent needs.

Could you add a bit more?

Absolutely not.

Or...

Can I get another loan?

Oh, Win.

Why are you addicted to loans?

What will you pay with?

Your life?

Just go.

Vroom. Vroom.

Here.

HOUSE FOR SALE

Mom. Let's play.

I'm getting bored playing with toy cars.

I want to play with you. Please, Mom.

Play on your own for a bit, Jody. I'm busy.

Okay?

Fine.

You're no fun.

Vroom. Vroom.

- Mom! - Jody.

- It hurts. - Jody!

- That poor kid! - Is he okay?

Help him! Oh God!

Oh, my God! He's...

Oh God!

- Go help your son! - Oh God!

- Poor kid! Hurry! - Oh God.

Oh, no.

No.

Well...

Yes, I understand.

I'm trying to get the money right now.

I...

I'd like to ask just one thing.

Please provide Jody with everything he needs.

MEDICAL SERVICE CHARGE: 15 MILLION

Yeah, yeah. 15-39.

It's a sure win.

Just send me some. Help me out.

That's the winning number this time. I'm sure of it.

Keep it down.

What?

Mom is sleeping.

Okay. Give it back.

Where were you? Why didn't you answer my calls?

Hey.

Jody has been hospitalized.

He had an accident and he's dying!

Really...

You're a drunk...

Stealing Mom's money!

Who do you think you are?

You can't even look after your kid.

Raising your hand now?

Hello?

Hello, who is this?

Cut off.

Who's this?

Hello.

Stop messing around. Who is this?

Hello?

Hello.

It's too noisy in here!

What's going on?

Nothing, Mom.

- Hello? - Erwina...

Erwina.

Dar.

What took you so long?

- Stuck in traffic? - Well...

It was a long journey.

Come in.

Thank you, Erwina.

How do you know my name?

How could I not?

I held you when you were a baby.

So you know where our father is?

Dad is dead.

How many years has he been away?

Even if he were alive, he'd be so ashamed

knowing his daughter got pregnant out of wedlock.

Maybe Dad is very proud to have a son like you.

Yeah.

A drunk, unemployed, gambler.

- Someone who steals from his mom... - Erwina.

The last time I saw your dad,

he declined a major project opportunity.

Since then,

I've lost contact with him.

Actually...

I came here

to offer a job at the batik factory.

HOUSE FOR SALE

I hope one of you is interested.

Take it, Win. To pay off our debts.

Our debts?

We wouldn't be in this situation if you hadn't gotten into debt.

I understand that you're facing tough times right now.

I have a little something

that could help you.

Thank you. But we're okay...

It's not enough.

Erwina will work with you.

Mom. Why me?

Jody needs me, Mom.

For what?

You'll just bring him misfortune.

You should be grateful.

We'll use this money for Jody.

- Mom... I... - What?

Who insisted on giving birth to that bastard child?

Now it's your responsibility.

All paid off, Dar.

Uncle.

What's the factory's full name?

It doesn't appear on maps when I look it up.

No worries, we're almost there.

We'll park the car here.

The road ahead only fits one car.

PROSPEROUS HOME

Darmono.

Ilyasa.

PROSPEROUS HOME

Long time no see.

Yeah.

- This? - Yeah, it's fine.

You must be Erwina.

Yes, Sir.

Come. I'll show you around.

This is the batik printing area.

See?

Make sure to cover the mirror!

Have you worked in a factory before?

Yes, but never in a factory this large.

We bought this rubber processing factory

and turned it into what it is today.

Your dad also helped build this factory from scratch.

My dad?

Yes.

Mr. Darmono, myself,

and your dad used to be friends.

But not all friends can be business partners.

So Mr. Darmono and I worked hard to keep this place going.

Thankfully, the universe has been on our side.

How's your dad doing?

My dad...

I'm not sure.

All my mom told me is that

my dad hasn't come back since I was seven.

But I'm still waiting for him to come back.

Stay strong.

Focus on your work for the time being.

I'm sorry,

but all employees here are required to turn in their phones.

So I must ask for your phone, Erwina.

Sorry, I can't. I must have my phone with me.

My son is in hospital and...

- Yes, I understand. - So I...

But we have to follow the rules.

Besides, there's hardly any signal here.

How about this?

There's a phone in my office.

Since I'm also good friends with your mom,

you're welcome

to use it if anything comes up.

Erwina.

When you hear this song,

it means everyone should vacate the factory area.

Excuse me.

Mom!

Help me!

Help me!

Thanks, Miss...

Tri.

- Erwina. - Don't forget to lock up.

Wait.

What about the woman over there?

You really pushed your luck last night.

When that song is playing, you shouldn't go out,

and no working overtime.

There are also other obscure rules.

The more rules you break,

the harder it will be for you to get out of here.

PROSPEROUS HOME

Her, for example.

She got pregnant just before she came here.

Or him. He came here a year ago with his friend.

But his friend moved two months ago.

Thanks for telling me, Tri.

I'm saying this so you catch on quickly and stay more focused.

Gosh.

- It's okay, I can do it. - Allow me.

Thank you.

Attention, please!

I'd like to remind everyone,

especially the new employees,

that there are transfer opportunities

for selected employees

to join our new factory in Tuban.

For those selected,

they will receive a bonus

and triple the salary.

What is the grading system, Sir?

When is the selection?

Well.

I won't go into too much detail,

what I can say is that

I have... special notes

for selecting the best.

Okay, let's work.

- Let's get back to work. - Let's get back to work.

- Let's get back to work. - Yes.

Tri.

Can you help me?

I kept making this mistake. I don't get it.

Look at the corner, align it, then press it.

When you do, don't press too hard,

or it will come out thick.

Try it.

Stay focused!

- I was looking at... - Now don't bother me.

DO NOT ENTER

Erwina.

Erwina.

If I were you, I wouldn't go there.

DO NOT ENTER

Your dorm is the other way.

Yeah, but...

You wouldn't want to be seen wandering around at this hour.

The mirror.

The mirror.

Okay.

Time's up.

What happened here?

What's wrong with it?

It's different. It looks bad.

I didn't do it on purpose.

I swear. I didn't know.

Yes, Madam.

Madam, please, help me.

Quick, get out of here!

Don't be too rough. She's pregnant.

I can explain, Madam!

Madam!

Help me, Madam!

Madam! Help me!

You think I need it?

You want to leave quickly, right?

Too reckless.

You won't make the cut without my help.

How can Mr. Ilyasa possibly choose you?

We don't even know how they will grade us.

Exactly. We should have a strategy at work.

You need that opportunity.

I noticed how hard you were working earlier.

However,

I just need that extra bonus.

You want me to adapt quickly, don't you?

I'm sure

that if we work together, we can reach our goals sooner

and leave this place as soon as possible.

But don't you want to be selected?

I just need your bonus.

Besides,

I can't leave my son to move to Tuban.

All right. Good to go.

Good to go.

Mom, it hurts!

Mom, it hurts!

Mom!

- Jody! - It hurts!

Are you tired?

Go take a break.

See you later.

...33, 34.

We made...

I mean, I made the most batik today.

What's the matter?

You look troubled.

We're almost there.

There are still people with more batik than you.

Win.

None of us want to be here.

I have younger siblings in Tuban.

And if I get chosen,

I can see them again.

The mirror.

Is someone in there?

Come on.

It's wet.

Someone is inside. Find them.

Yes, Madam.

JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH, APRIL, MAY

Dad?

Phone.

The phone...

Irene?

Irene.

Irene.

SUGAR.

How did so many of them get in here?

- Hey, what's going on? - What is it?

- Look at that! - That's so scary!

Gosh! What's that?

How is that possible?

What should we do?

Erwina!

- The salt! - Salt?

We're out! Someone get me salt!

Salt! Give me salt!

Are you okay?

You're cursed!

Er.

How many did you print today?

Hundreds, maybe.

Attention, please.

Today is the day you all have been waiting for.

After carefully considering

your work,

I've decided

that the one chosen to transfer is...

Tri!

Awesome!

Mommy.

Jody.

Congratulations, Tri.

Thank you, Sir.

You'll be transferred to Tuban as soon as possible.

I will also grant a bonus to one employee.

You didn't make it, Mom?

I'm sorry, dear.

She is a hard worker.

Let's give a round of applause...

Jody.

...to

Erwina!

Well... done, Erwina.

Thank you, Sir.

Set a positive example.

Follow the rules.

Back to work, everyone.

You, come with me.

Are you upset like the others?

No. Not at all.

Tri deserves that opportunity.

Especially you.

Me?

You did a great job fooling Mr. Ilyasa.

Your secret is safe.

When was the last time you smoked?

A long time ago.

Why?

It's a long story.

You're impressive.

Maybe that's why Mr. Ilyasa and Madam Rum hold you in such high regard.

Almost like...

You have something special in you.

I'm just here to do what I have to do,

nothing more.

I want to get out of here too.

But I don't want to go home.

Why not?

It's a long story.

Tri.

About the bonus...

Can I have it

before you leave for Tuban?

Tri?

Tri.

Tri!

Tri!

Help!

Tri! It's me! Erwina!

Tri! Open the door!

Tri?

The mirror.

What's wrong?

PROSPEROUS HOME

Tri!

Stop!

Awang?

- What are you doing here? - Quiet!

Where is she going?

It's not just her.

It's them.

What do you mean?

I know something was off when Mr. Ilyasa chose Tri.

You still can't accept his choice?

Win. Listen to me.

My friend was chosen before Tri.

They said he was transferred,

but right after the announcement, he vanished without a trace.

Well...

Maybe he left without telling you.

How could he let you know? Our phones are taken away.

No! All I'm saying is,

each time someone leaves,

a new employee comes in the following day.

This happens every month.

Every Kliwon.

Why did you hit me?

If you knew this was happening,

why didn't you help them?

Or seek help from outside?

It's pointless.

I'd be the one in danger instead.

I want to live.

Don't you want to get out of here?

You coward.

Hey. Win!

Win!

Shouldn't there be a gate here?

I told you it's not that simple.

Wait.

Are we going in circles?

I knew it.

Let's go back to the factory.

No! We have to find Tri.

We can't leave unless the forest lets us.

Let's find another way.

Awang. This place...

Dad.

That way.

Win.

Win, wait.

Damyang, being of the universe.

Please accept our offering.

Of pure blood as a medium.

In exchange for the wealth you've bestowed.

Upon us.

Amen.

Not too close, idiot!

Is that all?

We have one more.

There!

Get them!

Win!

Run!

Got you!

Win! Help me!

Don't leave me! Win!

Let go! Let me go!

Mom?

Jody?

Mom. Can you feed me?

Win.

Lost in thought? Go on, eat.

Dig in, Win.

I made your favorite meal.

Dig in.

We can stay this way forever, Win.

I'm no longer sick,

Rian can get a job,

and Jody won't go hungry anymore.

All you need to do is stay at the factory.

Okay?

You'd do that, right?

I...

I...

I knew it.

Erwina doesn't love us anymore.

No!

You're so mean!

You don't love me anymore!

I could've kicked you out a long time ago.

Ungrateful child.

You brought that bastard child into my house.

But did you look after him?

You didn't.

You let him get burned.

No.

It was an accident.

Or...

Is it a relief for you if he dies?

Then you wouldn't have to take care of him.

No!

Then prove it.

Stay at the factory.

You dare stand up to me?

Stay, Win. Save us.

Let Rian and me be happy without you,

without the fruits of your sin.

Hurry!

Let's go!

Wina.

Tri.

Tri.

Tri!

Tri!

Tri, wake up!

Tri, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I left you behind.

I'm sorry.

Tri!

Erwina.

Curse you!

Tri?

EMPLOYEE TRANSFER LIST

Pick up!

Come on, pick up.

Gosh!

JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH, APRIL, MAY, JUNE

Come on, pick up.

Pick up!

Stay away!

Hey, calm down.

I found you passed out outside.

Don't get me wrong.

You want to see a doctor?

Just to make sure everything's okay.

Okay?

Normally Madam Rum would deal with this.

Madam Rum?

Madam Rum.

Tri, the woods...

- We have to help Tri. - Easy, easy.

Tri and Madam Rum

left early for the new factory.

- It was an emergency. They're not here. - That's impossible.

I saw her.

Tri is in the woods.

Maybe you're just tired and stressed out.

That's normal.

Wait. I have something.

Before she left,

Tri wanted to give this to you.

She apologized

for not being able to say goodbye.

Erwina.

You are talented.

You can achieve anything you want.

Including...

Helping your son.

For now,

you should get some rest.

Get some sleep.

Ouch!

Murderer.

Easy, there.

- What did you do to them? - No...

I was never a part of anything like that.

You search over there.

What exactly is this place?

Madam Rum is back.

You should just give up.

Madam Rum is dead.

Dead?

You have no idea what you've done!

He could kill us! He'd kill us all because of you!

- This is bad! - He?

Who?

Cover the mirror, Erwina!

Cover the mirror, Erwina! Hurry!

Or they'll get out! Erwina, cover the mirror!

Cover it!

Please!

The mirror.

The mirror.

Let's go here.

Hey, you!

Awang.

Awang, why are you here?

They locked me in here,

then went back to the woods.

Wang.

You must take me there.

I feel something has been following me.

Madam Rum and Ilyasa are the ones killing people.

He's here.

Let's go.

I had no idea

there was a room like this in the factory.

Everything about this factory is absurd.

Nothing makes sense.

But it's all real.

Given their uniforms,

they might be followers of Madam Rum.

I wonder what they're thinking.

How could they torture their own employees?

It should be over, right?

What do you mean?

Those spirits.

If Madam Rum summoned those spirits,

they should be gone now that she's dead.

Right?

Relax, sir.

Relax.

Just unwind.

It's getting late, just relax after work.

It won't run away.

Tomorrow, that is Drink some coffee, sir.

Relax.

Some fried bananas, sir, with palm sugar.

The sun promises It will come back tomorrow.

Before, you said...

You wanted to get out of here and see your siblings, right?

And you plan to start a family after leaving this place?

But did you know?

The one thing I love most about this factory

is this old song.

Dad.

Watch, Erwina.

Erwina.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad!

Hey! What are you doing?

You...

Susanto!

Hey, Susanto!

What are you doing here?

You're going to mess up our plan!

- We could die! - Susanto!

Watch yourself!

Stupid.

We can find a way to make the company profitable!

Just don't do it this way!

You don't even believe in this stuff.

What's the difference?

Enough!

Mom.

Mom.

Why are you here?

I can't live in poverty anymore.

Where's Erwina? We're going home!

- We're going home! - Don't go with him!

Don't go...

Dad!

Susanto.

Dad...

Dad...

Susanto.

You killed my dad!

- You monster! - Hey!

Only strong souls

can come to terms with life's harsh realities, Erwina.

Open the gates of abundance...

Unfortunately,

your dad... was weak!

When the time comes.

Bow to Your command.

Damyang, being of the universe.

Amen.

Erwina.

Now you see, Erwina?

Your own family offered you up as a sacrifice.

It's time

to pay off your family's debt.

What do you want from me!

That's...

Erwina.

- Erwina! - Erwina.

Erwina.

Erwina.

Erwina.

Erwina.

- Erwina. - Where are you?

Erwina.

Erwina.

You monster!

Monster?

Oh, Erwina.

I might be a monster.

But out there...

There are others far more monstrous than me!

Dad.

Irene.

The mirror.

The mirror.

The mirror.

The mirror.

The mirror.

Stop it, Erwina.

It's time to settle the debt.

Don't do it, Mom.

Do you want me to die?

- Jody? - Don't do it, Mom.

Jody.

Jody, dear.

No.

Stop crying, dear.

So let me finish this!

Surrender your soul to me!

Jody.

No, Mom.

- Forgive me. - No, Mom.

Don't do it!

Forgive me, dear.

No!

It hurts!

You are not my son.

How dare you take your own life?

You fool!

Don't! Stop!

This is my choice.

I refuse to die by your hand, you monster!

- Stop! - This is my life!

Erwina.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad!

Dad!

I'm tired, Dad.

Please don't leave me.

I'm sorry, dear.

Dad!

Dad!

It's over, Mom.

Jody.

It's me, Jody.

Please forgive me.

Will you come with me?

We'll play again.

I promise

nothing will ever separate us.

Will you come with me?

If you accept this contract,

you are in for a big payoff.

Well?
