[man] Sita!

Sita!

[screams] Sita!

[screams] Help!

[wailing] Sita!

Evacuate immediately!

[in Sundanese] It's either you or I'll take your child.

Come with me!

[gasps] Drupadi!

[panting]

[breathing heavily]

[shushing]

[solemn music]

[Sita] Drupadi.

Dear.

[in English] Happy birthday, Drupadi.

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday ♪

[sniffles] ♪ Drupadi ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

Happy birthday, dear.

Oh.

You see, this compass is very special to me.

I want you to keep it.

Drupadi.

Promise me

you'll take care of yourself.

And I'm counting on you

to take care of Dad too.

[sniffles] I wrote this for him.

Pass it on to him.

Why?

Why are you crying?

It's nothing.

I'm just emotional seeing how much you've grown.

[sniffles]

- [smooches] - [tender music]

[humming]

[music turns somber]

[driver] Same drop-off as the app?

Yes. Mount Sarangan Post.

[in Sundanese] Either your kid or you!

[somber music]

Happy birthday!

Open it. Also, where's Mom?

She told me to give you this.

She didn't tell me anything.

[tense music]

Why didn't you tell me when Mom left?

I had no idea!

Why didn't you wake me up?

I don't know!

You just don't understand!

Dad?

[news anchor] Mount Sarangan has drawn public attention

due to Sita Werdibuana's disappearance.

The peak she climbed had been closed since 2008.

Witnesses say

Sita was last seen at Citapa Waterfall

before the landslide occurred.

People believe this is a supernatural incident related to Ki Tapa,

although rejected by Samsul Hadi, the search leader,

who discontinued the search after seven days

and pronounced Sita Werdibuana missing.

[Tito] Why did you stop the search?

Why did you stop the search?!

It's been a week, and there hasn't been a single lead.

You're going to make my daughter lose her mother.

That's not it.

- Keep searching! - [somber music]

It doesn't work like that, Mr. Tito.

We've covered all areas the past seven days.

Listen, you never climbed up!

Don't worry, alright?

You might not know this, but your mom is a hero.

She rescued me when I got lost on this mountain before.

That's why I know your mom will be okay.

What if they can't find her?

Hey.

You can't say that.

We'll be waiting here, together.

[sobbing] It's all my fault.

Did you go to that location?

You haven't searched the coordinates I gave you.

You've never been there before!

Sir, listen. We've looked…

What are you hiding there?

- [Tito] Just what are you hiding? - [man] I'm not hiding anything.

- [shouting, clamoring] - You better find my wife!

[clamoring]

Dad!

- Dru! - Let me go! That's my wife!

Dad!

- Dad! - Dru, it's okay.

- Get a hold of yourself! - Drupadi is here!

- Your daughter is watching. - Tito!

- Let's all calm down. - Step back!

We're good.

[panting]

[sobbing]

[Tito] Sita.

Sita!

Take me instead! Take me, dammit!

[Tito] Take me instead.

[Tito] Take me

[Tito sobbing] - [sinister music]

Mom?

- [ominous music] - [inaudible]

[energetic rock music]

Let's go!

AUGUST 20TH, 2024

You got this!

- Let's go! - [groans]

Three, two, one.

Time!

Good job, guys!

- [clapping] - Finally!

Good job.

Take my picture. Hurry. The sweat's still fresh.

- Good job. - Good job.

Hey, man.

Right here.

[sighs] Man. Coach is serious today.

But we endured it for the gains.

Don't complain like Jamal.

Must've been nice to skip two weeks of training.

It was for Umroh, mind you.

You felt it, right?

You two done recording?

Yup. I'm so tired.

- [pants] We're set for tomorrow, right? - Of course.

You're all on board?

- Yes. - Nice.

Pick me up tomorrow, okay? And don't be late.

We're seriously going on a hike for your birthday?

Citapa Waterfall, alright?

I'll treat you guys to food on our way home.

- [gasps] - Okay?

- Sounds good to me. - Thanks for the treat, ma'am.

- What a glutton! - That's a blessing.

[Drupadi] Thank you.

- See you tomorrow. - I'll pick you up at five.

Bye.

I'll text you.

Okay.

Bye.

How was training?

Exhausting.

Dinner's almost ready.

- I'm going inside. - Okay.

[Drupadi] Dad.

I'm going on a trail run with my friends tomorrow.

We're going out of town.

"Friends"?

Just… My friends.

Maya, Raka, Jamal, Ucok, Nurul.

Out of town?

Where are you going?

Somewhere in Bogor.

Bogor's huge.

[Tito] Which part?

Sentul or Hambalang.

Sentul or Hambalang?

We'll come home right away.

I'll be back home in the evening.

Wait.

Having fun is okay,

but remember,

you have to be responsible.

Thanks, Dad.

Sure.

- Are you done? - Yeah.

- Let me. - Thanks.

[hopeful music]

[shutter clicks]

The compass…

[music fades]

[Little Drupadi] Mom. I've made a cloud album

to free up your phone's storage.

You're so smart.

Thank you. Who taught you this?

Dad.

- When was this? - Hmm?

That was Mount Gede Pangrango summit.

This was the day your dad proposed.

He secretly planned it with his friends

to create this romantic moment.

Sweet, isn't it?

[Little Drupadi] Aren't mountains scary?

[Sita] Not at all. They're not scary.

We should all go hike as a family.

Dad, you, and I.

You can choose which mountain to hike.

But not Sarangan, okay?

[sighs]

[somber music]

Mom.

[knocking]

[in unison] Surprise…

Surprise, Uncle. I mean…

- Good morning. - Is Drupadi awake?

Yeah. Are you going training?

- Dad… - ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

Make a wish, Drupadi.

I wish…

[tender music]

- Yay! - [cheering]

Happy birthday, dear.

Thanks, Dad.

- Might as well. - Alright.

Come on, guys. The sooner we leave, the sooner we're back.

- Uncle. We're heading out. - See you.

- Excuse us. - Come on.

[Tito] Hello, Gancar.

Can I ask you a favor?

[bright music]

Is that them? Hey!

- Happy birthday. - Thanks.

Wait for me!

[indistinct chattering]

- Come here. - Guys. Look here.

- Come on. - Okay.

One, two, three.

[shutter clicks]

DO NOT ENTER

Waterfall!

- Which waterfall? - Citapa.

- Which is it, then? - We're heading to Cita…

[exclaims]

Hold up! Say hi to the vlog!

- Hi! - Hi! Okay.

- [indistinct chattering] - [unsettling music]

Guys!

- [exclaims] It's beautiful! - So cool.

One, two, three!

[in unison] Cita… [cheering]

[cheering]

- Let's take a dip! - Come on!

[cheering]

- Oh, wait! Mister. - Yes?

Are there other hidden gems here?

- Hidden gems besides the waterfall? - Yes.

There are lots. Some go uphill, some downhill.

Let's go up later, guys! I heard there's a hidden gem!

- Okay? - Okay!

- Thanks! - No problem.

[indistinct chattering]

[tense music]

Seriously? Stop leaning on me like that.

Can't go anywhere with you!

Then stop braking so much!

Those speed bumps were invisible!

- That's not my problem. - I didn't know!

It was huge. That's why I braked.

You could've asked!

Why are you even holding the flashlight like that?

Sorry, that wasn't a flashlight.

- You kidding me? - Peace be upon you!

- And upon you peace. - Gancar!

- Looks like someone's busy. - Tito.

- Yeah? - You decorated this?

Yup.

- What? - You're joking, right?

Princess decorations? She's 17!

- What's up with these colors? - Why not? Looks nice to me.

Forget that.

It's just not fitting for a 17-year-old!

I've got five kids. Two have reached 17.

This ain't it!

I don't see any problem with it.

Besides, Drupadi's changed.

Now she's into sports

and listens to band music, like me.

She's not into K-pop anymore.

I know her well.

- She loves all this princess stuff. - That was decades ago.

She has a boyfriend now!

I know that!

Instead of arguing, how about you help me in the kitchen?

Okay, yeah.

- Let's get the food out. - Next year, I'll do the decorating.

- Sure, buddy. - I'm serious.

[wind whooshing]

Gosh.

Is the signal here weak?

Yeah.

[in Sundanese] This area has no coverage.

What's the holdup with Maya and Jamal?

Let's wait for them.

They don't know the area and have no guide.

Can you call them?

I can't. I can't even find a signal, let alone make a call.

Instead of wasting time here, let's just go ahead.

I came here to make hidden gem content.

It'd be a waste if I got nothing.

We can't leave them behind, Nurul.

What kind of place has zero signal?

Hey. Can you two shut up?

You've been running your mouth.

With tourists like you, no wonder nothing gets better around here.

Tourists? We're Indonesian.

- And? - How am I supposed to stay calm?

Everyone's stressed out!

Maya and Jamal are still down there waiting!

[Ucok] We all decided we're going up!

- Whose idea was that? - Come on!

They're on board to go up too!

Ucok! Enough!

Either we wait here or we go down.

Easy there, will you?

You're just thinking about yourself.

- You calling me selfish? Fine, we go down! - Enough!

They're our friends!

- You don't even know where they are! - Enough!

That's why we wait! We don't know how far they are!

Take it easy!

Forget it. Let's go find food.

Mr. Rohmat.

[in Sundanese] What's up?

Any food place here that would make good content?

- I know a place. Let's go. - Let's do it.

[in Sundanese] There's a food stall further down.

Hurry up!

[Nurul] Guys, we have a change of plans.

[tense music]

[Jamal] Watch your feet.

[Maya] Yeah. Are we going the right way?

I don't know, Maya.

But we came this way before.

Why aren't we there yet?

[rustling]

Jamal.

[rustling]

What's that, Jamal?

Jamal…

Peace be upon you.

Pardon me.

We're just passing by.

Excuse us.

[in Sundanese] What are you doing here!?

[indistinct chattering]

[Raka] This is so weird.

We've walked 11 kilometers, 29,000 steps.

Drupadi.

Drupadi?

Drupadi!

- You left me behind. - You shouldn't wander off.

Sorry.

Where are the others?

They were up ahead,

but it's hard to track them in this fog.

Do we go right or left?

It can't be left.

It has to be right. Let's go.

Okay.

Stay close.

Watch out.

[Ucok] For the food stall content later,

how about we also make a food review of the local specialties?

Yeah. We can make two videos.

Drupadi and Raka would make great content too. Look.

Wait.

Where did they go?

Rohmat's missing too. Where do we go?

Drupadi! Raka!

Mr. Rohmat!

I'm not up for jokes right now!

Mr. Rohmat!

I need to pee.

Guys, we're at…

- What should I do? - Forget it. If you're gonna pee, just go.

- Hurry, go! - Where?

I'm scared.

I'll be right here. Just go.

- For real? - Yeah.

Don't peek, okay?

[Nurul] Ucok! Wait for me.

Got it.

[Nurul] Don't go anywhere!

- [Nurul] Are you still there? - Yeah.

- Ucok! Stay right there! - [Ucok] Yeah.

Don't go anywhere!

[Nurul] And don't peek!

[Nurul] Or else!

Say something! You startled me!

You're done?

Yeah.

Where do we go now?

Let's go.

Bro.

Where have you been?

[in Sundanese] Sorry. I was clearing the route ahead.

How could you leave us?

We don't know where to go.

Looking for the hidden gem, right?

- Well, yeah. - [chuckles] Come on, then.

Nurul, come on.

Did you see Drupadi and Raka?

They'll catch up.

Come on.

[Ucok] I'm hungry.

[Ucok] Let's go, Nurul.

I say we call out Rohmat.

He bailed on us just because he's a local?

When we get down, don't pay him a cent.

Let him learn his lesson.

[man's voice] Ucok.

[tense music]

Who's there?

[man's voice] Ucok.

Ucok!

Who's there?

- Ucok! - [man's voice] Ucok.

It's not funny, Ucok!

[man's voice] It's not funny, Ucok!

[shaky breathing]

[yelps] Ucok!

[panting]

My phone.

[groans]

[whimpering]

[tense music]

[man's voice] Ucok.

- Ucok! - [yelps]

[Nurul screaming]

[bones breaking]

[phone buzzing]

Hello?

Yes?

Mhm. That's me.

Drupadi Werdibuana.

Yes.

What?

Correct.

Yes.

Yes.

This morning.

Sentul or Hambalang.

The details?

[kissing]

[suspenseful music]

[grunts]

- Tito! - Tito!

What's the matter?

My daughter lied.

- Drupadi? - What's up with her?

Tito.

Who was that, Tito?

Mount Sarangan's forest ranger.

[sighs]

[sobbing]

- Peace be upon you. - And upon you peace.

Excuse me. We're the relatives of Drupadi.

- Go ahead to the post. This way. - This way?

- Thanks. - Thank you.

HIKING TRAIL IS CLOSED

Why did you come back, Tito?

I told you not to come back!

Come on. I'll take you home.

Let's go, Tito!

Come on. I'll take you home.

Go home, Tito! Go home!

Tito.

[knocking]

Who's there?

- Someone's outside. Open it. - Wait a moment.

Bagus? Oji?

Yeah?

Tito.

- How are you? - [chuckles]

[in Sundanese] How are you?

- We're good. - Good.

Let's gather at the prayer room.

- Prayer room? - We're starting soon.

- Okay, got it. - See you there.

[Bagus] Is that your brother?

He looks just like you.

- [chuckles] - Nonsense.

- Your face looks like it. - As if.

- We should get going. - Right.

[Maya] So…

We celebrated Drupadi's birthday

at the waterfall.

We went for a swim.

After we swam, I looked for a place to pray.

When I came back,

Nurul and Ucok wanted to go up the mountain.

But do you know the place they were heading to?

Nurul showed me a photo of the place

before we went to the waterfall,

but I don't know how to get there.

There's a hiker

named Rohmat with us.

He knows the way, so the group decided to follow him.

We kept telling them it would take a long time

to climb to the peak.

What happened next?

What time is it? We might not make it in time.

[sighs] I don't know.

Rohmat. About the place you mentioned…

Jamal. Can I have some water?

I ran out of water.

- Thank you. - No worries.

[yelps]

Gosh.

[Jamal] I saw Maya fell.

So I helped her. But…

But what?

Suddenly…

[Jamal] There was a sudden gust of wind, and when we got up,

our friends were gone.

It all happened so fast.

After that, we tried to return to the waterfall,

- even though we got lost. - Several times.

But it was already dark, and we couldn't see a thing.

Then I stopped for another prayer,

and thankfully, Mr. Adang found us.

Thank you so much, sir.

Jamal, Maya.

Were you aware that Citapa Waterfall was closed for public

for the past seven years?

[Bernard] Hadi, keep me updated.

- Stay safe. - Yes, sir.

[suspenseful music]

Hello.

Oji, Bagus.

- Tito. - Bernard.

I'm really sorry.

I promise we'll find Drupadi.

You can tell she got it from her parents.

Hiking's in her blood.

Thanks, Bernard.

You shouldn't come with us.

The terrain has changed since you last came here.

I'll keep you guys updated.

Please cooperate. Oji, Bagus.

- [man] Roger that. - [radio chatter]

Got it. I'll be right there.

Well…

The area beyond the waterfall has been closed

due to repeated landslides.

I also lost her younger sibling a few years back.

Let's keep each other safe.

[woman singing in Sundanese]

[suspenseful music]

[forest rangers] Drupadi! Raka!

DAY ONE OF THE SEARCH

Peace be upon you.

[forest rangers] Drupadi! Raka!

Irfan. Please search the waterfall area.

Teddy, you're with me.

[over radio] Reporting in. We've reached Citapa Waterfall.

The team is searching upward.

Keep searching upward at the next post.

[over radio] Roger.

Irfan!

Roger.

Check downstream…

We will search until the peak

- to see if they are there. - Roger that.

[shouting] Raka! Ucok!

Damn it! I'm starving, Nurul.

You don't feel hungry at all?

[soft, monotone voice] I am.

You caught a cold?

Why so cold?

Still no food, guys.

And Nurul's starting to get sick.

Guys! I smell food! Can you smell that, Nurul?

[in Sundanese] That's the food stall.

That's why it smells so good. Nice, right?

It's open? Wow!

[laughing] Thank you, Rohmat!

[in Sundanese] Please enjoy.

[in English] This is nuts! He found this stall out of nowhere!

[in English] What the hell is that shit, man? Nurul!

Come on, Nurul!

So, this is the stall

that's been giving off that amazing aroma.

Wow. It's packed in here.

[surprised gasp]

[ominous music]

A lot of local people. Hello, ma'am and sir.

Looks like it's a popular spot.

Hello, ma'am.

I'd like some, please.

I'll have the fish,

and mix it with this.

Order some, Nurul.

After walking for about five kilometers…

Thanks.

After five kilometers, we're finally here.

Let's dig in.

Okay.

Dig in, Nurul. Rohmat.

Time to dig in, guys.

[hums]

[Rohmat in Sundanese] Well?

Is it good?

So good! Yum!

[laughs] The best!

[mumbling]

[gasps]

Huh?

[groaning] Eat!

Eat this!

- Stop! - Finish it!

Dig in!

No!

No!

Nurul, why are you doing this? Nurul!

Nurul!

Dig in!

[squelches]

Babe, wait.

Let's take a break.

[sighs]

[Raka] I think my watch is broken.

[Drupadi] Mine's messed up too.

We've walked a lot, but the distance isn't moving.

It's like we're on a treadmill.

Should we keep going down this road?

This isn't the way we came from.

What now?

My dad taught me to stay put if you're lost in the woods.

I know, but it's late.

- I don't feel safe if we stay put. - Let's just stay.

We have this.

Babe?

What's the matter?

[ominous music]

I saw someone. Come on.

Let's go.

Careful.

Ma'am.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

- Ma'am. - [grandma in Sundanese] Eat…

[ominous music]

- [yelps] - Run, Drupadi!

Raka!

[panting]

[indistinct chatter over radiog]

Yeah, I hope we find them soon.

- Amen. - Amen.

Here you go.

Thank you.

- If you'll excuse me. - Okay.

- Goodbye. - Take care.

- Tito. - Huh?

Eat something.

Later. I'll grab some coffee first.

[in Sundanese] Anyone who eats that

will be eaten!

Sorry?

What do you mean?

My little brother Rohmat disappeared

last year while volunteering.

He returned once,

then left again.

But he was different.

And our dad figured

that he had eaten something up there.

They've been gone for two nights.

You need to hurry.

Please.

Thank you.

[indistinct chattering over radio]

DAY TWO OF THE SEARCH

[indistinct chattering over radio]

Okay, thank you. Keep me updated.

Okay, sir. In the name of God.

[forest rangers shouting] Nurul! Raka!

Sir. We found someone.

Where?

Carlos, GPS.

Reporting in.

Our location

"is 6°45'00" South,

"7,52" East.

We're almost set to carry out the evacuation.

- Got it. Thanks. Keep us updated. - Yes, sir.

[somber music]

Firman! How's her condition?

Is she breathing?

No, sir!

[Bernard] Can you identify her?

Well?

By the characteristics, it's Nurul.

Prepare the ambulance.

Hurry up.

Later, okay? Help me here.

- [man 1] What happened? - [man 2] Please explain. Male or female?

Nurul's parents?

We're sorry, but we found Nurul's body.

No, sir!

- [sobbing] - If you want to go to the hospital…

[Nurul's Mom wailing] Our daughter!

[somber music]

- Tito… - Let him go.

Nurul!

[Tito sobs]

Sita told me

it'd break Drupadi more if I were gone

instead of her.

How did you react to that?

Of course I got mad.

That was a crazy thing to say.

But who would've thought she'd vanish

exactly on Drupadi's birthday?

[inhales]

Sita.

If you're out there, please watch over our kid.

We'll find Drupadi, brother.

She's the kid you and Sita raised

with jungle survival skills since she was a kid.

I'm sure she'll make it.

You think so?

[chuckles]

- Hi. - You just got here?

- Sorry to barge in. - Should've called us.

I'm out of water.

Can I have yours?

I ran out too.

- Let's look around for water. - We'll do it as we walk.

- Yeah. - Let's go.

I can't find anything.

Raka.

There's a puddle.

For real?

Wait, let me check.

It's safe to drink.

[sighs in relief]

[faint murmuring]

You hear that?

[people laughing]

Let's check it out!

Come on!

- [somber music] - [panting]

[Nurul] It's so tasty, Ucok!

Yummy!

[humming]

Something feels off.

How come?

Look. That's Ucok and Nurul.

[Nurul and Ucok exclaiming]

Dru and Raka!

- Where were you? Come eat! - You should eat! The food's here amazing!

[Nurul exclaims] The food is so good!

Her cooking is amazing. Try it.

Seriously!

My parents warned me

not to take food or drinks from anyone in the mountains.

[eerie whispers]

Raka!

Huh?

I'll just have a bite. I'm starving. Okay?

[ominous music]

[gags]

[ringing noise]

No! Let's get out of here!

- Where are you going? - Wait!

What's the matter?

Drupadi!

Drupadi!

Drupadi!

- What's the matter with you? - Raka!

- What? - I wanna go home!

What did you see?

You didn't notice it?

- What? - [panting]

Ucok, Nurul…

Just calm down, okay?

This place is messed up!

Calm down. I'm here. We're going home.

- I'm scared! - We'll find a way home.

[Drupadi sobbing]

Dad…

Forgive me.

DAY THREE OF THE SEARCH

[forest rangers shouting]

Commander!

Stop!

Get ready to evacuate!

- Hari, go! - Yes, sir.

Check inside.

Reporting in.

Our location

"is 6°43′00" South,

"106°44′00" East.

We've found one body.

- Their condition? - Not breathing.

Bloated stomach, mouth crammed with soil,

maggots, and other organisms, as if they were shoved in.

Based on the bloating, time of death was two days ago.

Can you identify them?

From his features,

it's confirmed to be Renatu Silitonga, also known as Ucok.

NURUL FOUND DEAD

Do your best to clean it up and proceed with evacuation.

Roger.

Sir. Looks like they're going down.

They're heading to the forest.

Eleh Sorangan forest.

[mystical music]

[chatters]

Bernard!

Gancar!

- How are you? - Good. How are you?

- I'm good. - When did you get here?

Yesterday.

Any progress on the rescue?

I'm in a hurry.

Bernard.

We've heard.

Ucok didn't make it?

Yeah. It's a pity.

Excuse me, miss. One coffee, please.

Have you tried a different approach for the rescue?

What do you mean?

Um…

What Gancar is saying…

Why don't we try asking a local shaman?

Someone who might be familiar with the supernatural.

Sorry, we can't use that method.

That kind of supernatural approach has no credibility.

[Gancar] Still, we could try both at the same time.

[Oji] Right.

You stick to your procedures,

- we'll deal with the supernatural. - Bernard.

Back then, you weren't around,

and Hadi refused to help.

That last search was for my wife,

but this time, I won't be able to let it go.

I'm sorry for your loss, Tito.

I know you've lost two people dear to you,

but my team and I must follow the standard procedures.

I have to inform Ucok's family of the sad news.

Bernard.

I hope

you're not gonna give me the same bad news again.

[solemn music]

Tito, Bagus, Oji.

It didn't work.

At least we tried.

So, what's next?

We're going up.

We're going up?

We don't have our gear, Tito.

[Gancar] We'll make do.

It's not meant for rescue operations.

He's at it again.

[Ucok's Mom] My son!

I want to see my son!

[wailing] I have to see him! I want…

[Ucok's mom] Give me my Ucok!

Babe, I didn't know you could make fire.

This is all the water I could find. What do you think?

Thanks.

- Did you have some? - Yeah.

You got signal? Babe?

You got signal?

No.

What are you doing?

I'm trying to text my dad.

Maybe it'll go through once we get signal.

Or…

In case we don't make it, I hope he can forgive me.

Let's stay positive for now.

Actually…

I lied to him about us being here.

Why?

My dad's gonna freak out if he finds out I came here.

My parents always told me not to.

Especially after my mom went missing.

It was here.

She went missing on my 10th birthday, seven years ago.

I thought I'd be able to feel her presence if I came here.

I wish I could see my mom,

even if it's only for a moment.

I miss her so much.

[sniffles]

I miss how my family used to be.

[somber music]

Brother.

Eat something.

[Bagus] Tito. Not to pry,

but why did Sita leave by herself?

I'm not sure why either.

But on the morning Sita left,

Drupadi handed me this note.

[Sita] Tito, my dear.

I'm sorry for using this letter as my farewell.

Ever since we left that other world on Mount Sarangan,

- [grunts] - I've been having strange dreams.

In my dreams, there's an old man, the mountain guardian,

who comes and takes you away.

I never told you

because I knew you were struggling too.

Drupadi!

[panting]

Lately, that dream has started to feel real.

[eerie music]

[door creaks]

This time, the old man is not after you,

but our daughter, Drupadi.

[heavy breathing]

[in Sundanese] It's either you or I'll take your child.

After I'm gone, please take care of Drupadi.

Be her hero

and give her the hugs I no longer can.

Sita.

[Tito] Since Sita left,

my nightmares about this place stopped.

Replaced by nightmares

about losing her.

I made a promise to Drupadi.

I'd take her to the mountains

on her birthday.

But I never fulfilled it.

We'll go hiking with Dru someday.

Let's get some rest.

We'll need fresh energy for tomorrow.

[woman humming]

Mom?

[humming continues]

Mom!

Mom!

Mom! [Sobbing]

I miss you so much.

I miss you too.

Why did you leave us?

You don't love us?

Since you left, I've come to hate my birthday.

Every year, I just wish I could see you again.

Where were you?

Don't you love me, Mom?

[sobbing]

Do you want to come with me?

- Huh? - Come.

Come with me.

[ominous music]

Drupadi?

[distant clamoring]

Drupadi?

[faint chattering]

Sir, can I ask you something?

Sir?

Excuse me. Where are we?

Drupadi.

Raka.

[Drupadi] Come here.

Sit with us.

Mom, this is Raka.

Greet her.

Drupadi.

Where are we?

We're at my mom's place.

She's celebrating my birthday today.

My wish this morning came true.

I want more, Mom.

Drupadi.

Remember what your parents said about taking food?

We can eat.

[ominous music]

It's my mom's cooking, after all.

- I can eat here, right? - Go ahead, eat.

Raka, eat some?

- No, thanks. - You should eat, Raka.

Eat it.

Eat, Raka.

Yummy, right?

I think he likes your cooking.

[ominous music]

Do you want more?

[eerie music]

Eat some more.

You like it, right?

[spits]

- Let's go. - Raka?

Drupadi!

- Where are we going? - Drupadi!

Why can't we stay with my mom?

I want to stay with her!

She's not your mom, okay? We have to go home!

[in Sundanese] Push him.

She's my mother!

[screams]

[Bagus] Drupadi!

DAY FOUR OF THE SEARCH

[Bagus] Raka!

Drupadi!

Drupadi!

Raka!

- Drupadi! - Drupadi!

Raka!

- Hey. - Oji.

Someone's been here. Look around.

Tito!

- Oji! - This branch looks freshly snapped!

Oji, the harness!

- Tito! Gancar! Evacuate! - Hey! Hurry!

[suspenseful music]

Throw this.

In the name of Allah.

- Watch out, Oji. - Alright.

- You good? - Yeah.

[Tito] I'm going down.

- Oji, how is he? - Good.

Joints and bones are good.

His pulse is good.

- He's injured. Get the first aid kit. - Got it.

That's Raka, her friend.

- Raka? - Yeah.

Raka.

- I'll set up the anchor. I'm going up. - Okay. I'll handle Raka.

Raka, wake up.

- Tito! He's awake! - Raka!

[groans]

- Oji! Gancar! - Raka! Snap out of it!

[faint groans]

[straining]

Raka!

- Raka! - Evacuate!

- Raka! - Go away!

- [straining] Let me go! - Snap out of it!

[Raka's Mom] Oh my God. Raka!

- Raka! - Make way!

Code red. Mr. Adang. Hurry!

[screaming]

Drupadi is staying!

Rohmat is staying.

Rohmat is staying!

Saidah.

[in Sundanese] Give me the copper bottle.

[grunts]

[in Sundanese] Ki Tapa, let go of him.

[grunts]

Your son is no more.

[in Sundanese] Rohmat chose to stay with me.

He's now my servant!

[wailing]

[Adam reciting "The Throne Verse" in Arabic]

[yells]

[Raka screams]

[retches]

[stammering] Where's Drupadi?

- Where's she? - Dear.

[Raka's Mom] Raka, it's me. Look at me.

- Mom? - [sobbing] Oh my God, thank you.

Sorry to bother you, sir, ma'am.

I need to talk to Raka.

Sorry, ma'am.

Drink this, Raka.

Can you try to tell me what happened?

Take your time.

Something weird happened to us last night.

Which is?

We met Ucok and Nurul.

They were in a hut with a lady and some villagers.

Then they forced me to eat.

[in Sundanese] Raka, did you eat any?

He asked you.

Did you eat with them?

No.

No. Dru told me not to.

But we ended up in a village,

and there…

Drupadi and I were made to eat something.

Eleh Sorangan.

[Bernard] Did she eat?

Yes, her mom fed her.

She said her mom was celebrating her birthday.

Uncle Tito.

I'm sorry.

[sobbing] I tried my best.

I tried to get her out, but I couldn't. I couldn't protect her.

I'm so sorry.

Raka.

Do you how much time has passed since that incident?

I think…

It's roughly three to four hours ago.

Commander.

I'm going to make the report for evaluation.

Okay.

You go on ahead. I'll catch up. I've got a few things to sort out.

- [Bernard] Tito. - He's here.

[groans]

- Hold up. - What's with you, Oji?

Oji, Bagus, Gancar.

I want to thank you all

for finding and rescuing Raka.

His parents are relieved.

- You're welcome. - Told you so.

See?

But I need to ask.

Why are you sneaking off like this?

What are you doing?

You put your lives in danger

by going up there without using the radio

or coordinating with us.

Do you have a kid?

Yeah, I have two.

Then you should know the weight that comes with it!

I understand that.

I'd do anything to save my children.

But before saving them, I need to make sure

I keep myself safe.

Haven't you seen Raka?

Bernard.

You still refuse to try another way?

It's not that I don't want to try.

I know this mountain better than you.

I'm well aware of the unseen world.

And during every search,

I always pray to find them alive.

The hardest part of my job

is having to tell families that their loved one didn't survive.

But I swear to God,

I will never again tell the families of my crew

that their loved ones died under my command.

Now that Raka's been found, let's hope Drupadi is next.

Amen.

[somber music]

[Gancar] Brother.

Is what Bernard said still bothering you?

[Tito] No.

Do you ever wonder…

If I'd never come to this mountain

and Norman hadn't gone missing,

maybe things would be different.

Everything would be okay.

I don't think that's the right mindset.

Then what is?

Look, if you never came to this mountain,

I probably wouldn't be here, because you wouldn't have rescued me.

Brother.

We're family.

We're supposed to protect and support each other.

I think

you shouldn't blame yourself this much.

We'll get through this together.

I care about Drupadi too,

I want to find her too.

[sighs]

Thanks, Gancar.

Look. Tito.

Don't worry.

We'll find Drupadi.

I'm sure.

Okay?

I need to get some fresh air.

Later.

[Norman] Tito. I think we've found a village.

Come on!

Sir!

Hey, kids!

Miss…

Something feels off.

- Norman, look. It's food. - Yeah.

[Tito] Did she eat?

Yes, her mom fed her.

Don't you think something feels off?

Just eat, Norman. It's good.

I'm not eating.

[in Sundanese] Anyone who eats that

will be eaten.

[Norman] Tito! Wake up!

It's me, Norman!

You're not him!

I'm Norman! Let's go home, Tito!

[grunts]

Let me go!

Tito! Let's go home, okay?

This is my home!

Dammit!

[sighs in frustration]

- Teddy. - Yes, sir?

It's Drupadi's phone. Out of battery.

Please charge it.

Yes, sir.

[suspenseful music]

[phone buzzing]

I'M SORRY, I CAN'T GO HOME YET

PLEASE DON'T BE MAD

I LOVE YOU, DAD…

[tense music]

[knocking]

Help yourself.

Thank you.

[in Sundanese] Back then, at this mountain,

there were descendants of Prabu Siliwangi.

He was a powerful ascetic. His name is Ki Tapa.

[Saidah] Long ago, descendants of Prabu Siliwangi

often meditated on Mount Sarangan

to watch over the area.

One of the most powerful among them

was Ki Tapa.

[Adam speaking in Sundanese]

[Saidah] He meditated constantly,

and he had to abstain from food and drink.

But one day, he caved.

Temptation got the better of him, and he ate.

[wind howling]

In the early 1950s,

people built a village at the edge of the forest.

The village is called

Eleh Sorangan.

[Saidah] But one by one, the villagers disappeared.

Said to be abducted by Ki Tapa

after eating food of supernatural origin.

Since then,

this area, from the waterfall to the west side of the forest,

is considered sacred.

Many entered

but never returned.

How do I get to Eleh Sorangan?

[whispers in Sundanese] How does one get to Eleh Sorangan?

[ominous music]

Are you ready?

DAY FIVE OF THE SEARCH

Once your soul enters Eleh Sorangan,

my dad and I will protect your body here.

But you must return before the sun goes down.

[tense music]

[grunts]

[Oji] Last night's video call used up all my phone credits.

You spend too much time on video calls.

I missed my kids.

When we head back, you're driving.

- I don't want to. - Look at my arm!

- [Bagus] Do it one-handed. I'll help. - [Oji] I can't shift gears like this!

[Oji and Bagus bickering]

[bickering continues]

- Guys! - What now?

- Isn't that…? - Tito's. He left this in the car.

Open it.

- Call him. - Wait.

- …around the forest area… - [Gancar] Excuse me!

Tito left this. I think he went up again.

[Saidah] Use this to get out of there.

The yellow nail is for a spiritual barrier.

Sprinkle the salt for protection too.

Pray for the ones staying, and protect those who return.

Peace be upon you.

If I leave them alone,

they'll leave me be.

[faint humming]

[singing in Sundanese]

It takes me back.

You used to comb my hair just like this

until I fell asleep.

- Mom. - Mhm?

I'm cross with Dad.

Why?

Ever since you disappeared,

he stopped loving me.

He doesn't even hug or kiss me on my birthday.

My poor girl.

But I'm happy I can be with you now.

I want to stay here with you forever.

[forest rangers shouting] Keep looking!

Move, everyone!

[ominous music]

[Saidah] This spring water

will help you awaken your daughter.

Wipe her face with it

and drink it to return to our world.

But it's only enough for two.

[Saidah] You must believe that the bond between a parent

and their child is eternal.

[tense music]

Drupadi, wake up!

Drupadi.

Mom!

Mom.

I don't want to go with Dad.

There's no point in going home with Dad.

Drupadi.

Dru? Drupadi!

Mom!

Drupadi.

Help!

- Let's go! - Mom!

- Mom! - We're going home!

Liar! You're not my dad!

- [yelling, groaning] - Let's go home, Drupadi!

Go away! You're not my dad!

It's me.

- My dad is evil! He doesn't care about me! - I'm your dad!

- [screaming] No! - Drupadi!

Drupadi!

- [screams] - [grunts]

Drupadi, dear. It's me.

You liar!

I made a mistake.

[coughs]

[Tito grunts]

[straining] I'm sorry.

Shut up!

[weak] Forgive me, dear.

[whispers] I'm sorry.

[screams]

You're evil! A coward!

You're evil!

- Calm down! - [screams] Mom!

Drink this.

[coughs]

Drupadi…

[retches]

Dear! Drupadi.

- Drupadi. - [heavy breathing]

Dad?

[somber music]

[sniffles]

I'm sorry, Dad.

I'm the one who's sorry.

It's okay, Dad.

Let's go home, dear.

- But Dad… - You got this. You're strong. Come on.

[villagers] Drupadi.

[intense music]

- Hadi! - Sir!

Fix the warning sign!

Got it!

Quick!

[suspenseful music]

Keep going!

I'm right behind you!

Come on, Dru!

Keep moving. Don't look back!

[grunts]

- Dad! - Drupadi! Run!

[grunts]

Drupadi, have you seen my phone?

Go away!

- Drupadi! - I don't care!

Let's go, Dad!

Let's go!

I'm starving.

I'm starving.

- Have you seen my phone? - I'm starving.

Mr. Adang!

- Gancar! - Tito!

That's Tito!

Tito!

Get the medic! We're carrying him up!

- Tito! - [in Sundanese] Stop!

Don't take him away!

He's trying to save his child.

- How? - He went to Eleh Sorangan.

Take us there too!

Just a bit more. Come on.

Dad.

How does this work? You're coming home too, right?

- Just focus, Dru. - Dad.

Dear…

- Dad… - I'll go after Mom.

- Yes. - Dad.

I'm not even sure if that was really her.

Please come home with me.

I don't want to be alone. I can't!

Let's leave together.

I've made a big mistake.

I let you and Mom down.

Please, let me make it right.

Will you forgive me?

Okay?

I love you, Dad.

I love you more.

Always.

Come on.

Dad.

- [gasps] - Commander! We found someone!

- Ibeng! - Over there!

That's Dru!

- We need a blanket! - Check her vitals!

- Be careful. - Drupadi!

- Blanket! - Tito!

Wake up, Tito.

Tito! Drupadi's back.

How's your Dad, Drupadi?

- Drupadi. - Dad?

Drupadi!

He's trying to get my mom.

Sita?

- Sita's in there too? - Dad, come on!

Drupadi.

Drupadi.

[villagers] Drupadi, come back.

Sita.

Where is she?

Drupadi doesn't belong here.

[demonic voice] Give her back!

Give her back!

- Where's she? - Sita.

I don't know if you're still here…

Sita is no more!

If you're here…

Let's go home.

- [grunts] - [demonic voice shrieks]

[Sita groans]

I seek forgiveness from Allah.

Drink this, Sita.

Wake up.

[villagers] Bring Drupadi back!

- Wake up, Sita! - Give her back!

[retches]

Wake up, Sita!

[groaning]

- Let him go! Tito! - Sita!

[sighs in relief]

[Tito] Let's hurry to the waterfall.

[panting] Tito!

Tito!

Come on!

Go to the waterfall.

Go into the waterfall.

That's the way back home.

- You should hurry. - What are you saying?

No! We're going home together!

- You go, Sita. - Drupadi needs both of us.

Come on.

From now on, we'll stay with her. Both of us. Let's go, Tito!

[grunts]

[somber music]

[sobbing]

I love…

I love you so much.

I love you more!

We're going home together!

Let's go home, Tito!

[sobbing] We're going home together!

Tell Drupadi I'm sorry.

I couldn't

keep my promise.

Tito.

You have to tell her yourself.

Gancar!

- Oji, this is Sita! - Mom!

Dad!

Mom.

Mom.

Sita.

What about him? Where is he?

He'll come back, right?

Tito.

We made it back.

So, you should too.

- [Gancar] Tito. - [Oji] Tito.

- Tito! - Dad.

- Tito! - Medic!

- Tito! - Medic, help!

- Tito! - Please don't.

Don't.

Dad…

Let my husband go in peace.

- [sobbing] Mom! - [Oji] Not like this, Tito.

What do you mean he's not coming back?

Uncle!

He's not coming back…

- Tito! - Dad!

This is not what you promised.

- [wailing] Dad! - Tito!

- Tito! - You lied to me!

You have to come back, Dad!

- Everyone's back, Tito! - Wake up!

You promised me that we're going to be together.

[somber music]

Stay away from my family!

[in Sundanese] After they eat,

their soul gets eaten.

[men shouting] Tito!

Tito!

Tito!

[sobbing]

Wake up, Tito!

Dad!

While evacuating three bodies from Mount Sarangan,

the SAR team was stunned by the return of Sita Werdibuana.

After vanishing on Mount Sarangan in 2017,

Sita has been found alive seven years later.

According to forest rangers at Mount Sarangan,

Sita disappeared after serving twice in the SRU.

She has declined to share

what happened in the ghost village

and prefers a quiet life with her daughter.

[on radio] The village is called Eleh Sorangan, hidden in the mountain…

Reporting in, sir.

Footage from Ucok's camera.

[screams] Eat!

Should we release it?

[groaning from footage]

Delete it.

Don't let this out.

Got it. Thanks, Commander.

A YEAR LATER

["Kota Mati" by NOAH playing]

[cheering]

Happy birthday!

[cheering, clapping]

[Tito] If you're reading this,

remember me in your laughters, as if I never left.

To Bagus and Oji,

you are the anchor that keeps me sane.

Gancar, thank you for being a shoulder for me and Drupadi to lean on.

Drupadi, forgive your Dad.

I don't know how to prepare for a farewell.

Sita, this mountain is our escape

or an old friend that we once called an enemy.

But deep down, we've always known

that it was only guarding what it had to.
