FACULTY OF COMMUNICATION

Isn't he taking too long?

Uh-huh.

It shouldn't take this long.

Do you think he might have failed?

- Watch it. - You passed, he definitely will too.

There.

So?

Did you pass?

How was it?

I'm sure you did.

Did you?

I told you so.

- Stop that. - What's with you?

- Talking nonsense. - Why is it?

Satria!

Hey, man.

- You good? - Satria!

Huh?

What's the matter?

I…

What?

Of course I passed!

- Enjoy. - I really want a chocolate.

- Who asked? - Huh?

Seriously,

I can't believe our thesis is done.

Especially you.

Me? Look at her!

You're the one always slacking off.

So we're unemployed now?

We're done with school.

Unemployed? How?

Hey!

Our country has 19 million job opportunities.

There are only five of us. We'll get it.

- Nice. - No worries.

How about we follow through on our plan from last year?

Hold on.

Which plan? We've got a thousand of them.

Right. I'm talking about…

- Drum roll? - So dramatic.

We'll hike a mountain.

- Hiking? - That sounds fun!

Let's do it! I miss watching sunrise at the summit, in that cold air.

What I miss the most is eating

steaming hot noodles at the summit!

I wanna upload a pic

of the mountain at sunrise with me, with a caption like:

"You don't conquer the mountain, you conquer yourself."

- Damn! - So deep.

- That's… - Sounds snobby.

Not so loud, I'm getting embarrassed.

So which mountain?

I'll just gatekeep it.

- You took too long. - Hey, we're coming along, you know.

No need to act all secretive.

Okay, okay.

- Welirang. - Welirang?

Wait, that's beautiful!

- Yeah! - I saw it on social media!

- Sounds fun. - That place is beautiful!

Guys, hold on.

Is this for real? Mount Welirang?

Why?

It's far. And the track is tough.

I mean, why don't we try the ones nearby first?

What's nearby?

Sahari, Central Jakarta? I can order a taxi right now.

We can go right now. If it'll make you happy.

- No, that's not what I meant. - I'm not wrong.

I meant like an easier mountain.

Look,

we just completed a milestone, our thesis.

We should celebrate it with something just as big.

We mentioned Mount Welirang last year.

So it's reasonable.

I agree with Arga.

Let's go.

Come on, Sat.

We might not get another chance to go hiking together.

- Group hikes are a lot of fun! - Hear that.

Okay, fine.

That's the spirit!

- Just say so! - Now that's manly!

My followers don't know my name is now Noval Dewandaru S.I.Kom.

Eyes up here. Ready?

- I'm not in it. - Come closer.

- Stop. - Don't fight.

- On three, say "Welirang." - Okay.

One, two, three.

Welirang!

I’m telling you. We'll take the Tretes route.

Four hours from Post One to Kopkopan

for a break and meal,

Then six more hours up to Pondokan.

After that, we get ready at 4 a.m. the next day

and head to the summit.

It'll take around three days and two nights in total

as long as we keep moving steadily.

How do we go there?

We can take the Gaya Baru train

leaving from Pasar Senen, and arriving at Pasar Turi around 9 a.m.

Better book it now before it sells out.

I'll book economy, to save money.

I'll try to arrange a car from Pasar Turi to Tretes.

I booked a Surabaya driver when I went to Bromo.

- Nice, saves us from getting too tired. - Okay.

Guys, wait.

You've made all these plans and want to book tickets,

but did you guys ask your parents?

Of course I did.

Easy. How many days was it?

Just three.

I'll tell them we're staying at the dorm. They'll believe me.

At least text them, don't just vanish.

Right.

You should be grateful you still have your parents.

Me? I can only send Al-Fatihah.

Oh, please.

They'll see my Story. I update it every day.

Such a disobedient child.

You'll be turned into a stingray.

That makes it two of us.

Like in The Notebook, "If you're a bird, I'm a bird."

- I'd be down for that. - Don't drag me into this.

Arga.

What's wrong?

I'm fine.

A DEMONSTRATOR'S NOTES

Please wash this.

Okay, Mom.

- Peace upon you. - Peace upon you too.

Hi, Mom.

- Hi, Dear. - Sister.

Hey.

Mom.

What's up?

I need your permission.

Where are you going?

Hiking.

Which mountain?

Mount Welirang?

There are plenty of mountains. Why did you choose that one?

I understand if you're worried.

But I can't live in fear forever.

The mountain is not our enemy.

Let alone a curse.

If I keep running away, I'll lose.

This isn’t about winning or losing, Arga.

The last time I hiked Welirang was five years ago.

Are you thinking of going via Tretes?

Yeah, Tretes.

Tretes is the most challenging route, but the view,

is worth it.

If the weather is clear at the summit,

you can see mountains all across Java,

like Semeru, Lawu, and Arjuna and others.

Really?

Sounds incredible.

Sure is.

When is it?

In three days, Uncle.

I'll take you to the station.

Wow, thank you so much.

I can take care of myself.

I'll be okay.

Mom.

If I have your blessing,

I'll carry your prayers with me

every step of the way.

Promise me.

I promise.

I'll come back safely.

Thanks, Mom.

I'll help you make dinner tonight.

ALAS LALI JIWO, 2022 MY BODY FORGETS THE SOUL

- Come on, Naya. - My bag, please.

Tita.

- Wait. - Get your own bag, don't be lazy.

You got a first aid kit?

- Yeah. - By the way, Uncle.

Did you notice anything strange when you hiked Welirang?

Why would you ask that?

We haven't even left, you're killing the mood.

- Relax, you got me. - Huh?

Strange things can happen anywhere, not just in the mountains.

Keep it humble and respectful.

- Got it - And one more thing.

Protect each other.

- Got it! - Thank you so much.

Good luck with the hike.

- Thank you! - See you!

Bye, Uncle!

Bye.

Goodbye, Jakarta!

Say hi, Sir.

The seat next to him is empty.

- Want to keep him company? - You startled me.

Being nosy like that is not cool.

Let me tell you.

Rather than waiting for him to make a move,

you should make the move yourself.

Right?

Empowerment. Don't hold back.

That's one thing, but what about my dignity?

What girl makes the first move?

These days, it's normal.

You know, Ta.

Sometimes I wonder…

What's he writing in that journal?

He gets really serious when he's writing.

Perhaps…

"I love you, Naya."

Noval's rubbing off on you.

- Hey. - Hey.

I thought you were asleep.

I woke up. My body was aching all over.

Okay.

Good morning, Surabaya.

We're at Pasar Turi Station, next we're heading to the post!

- Say good morning! - Good morning.

Guys, that's our car.

There it is. Hello.

Miss! Sorry for being late.

- Right this way, Miss. - It's okay.

- Let's get in. - Sorry, I'm late.

Okay.

- Good… - Good morning, Internet.

Good morning.

- Gosh! - Watch out.

The road's pretty scary.

Up and down!

We're still not there and you're already spamming photo updates.

You've gotta be kidding me.

This car has never broken down before.

And just a week ago,

I even changed the oil.

Sir.

How far is Tretes from here?

Around five kilometers.

But the engine needs to cool down.

If we force it, it'll give out.

What's up there?

I don't know.

Classic old people.

Thing is…

Is the night after tomorrow the first of Suro?

Why is it?

According to old stories,

on the first of Suro,

all of Java's mountains wake up.

- Wake up? - Yeah.

They're normally asleep?

What I mean is,

mountains in Java are haunted.

But it all depends on your intentions.

If you have good intentions,

you should be okay.

- Amen. - Amen.

God willing.

Uh-oh.

- What happened? - Gosh.

Hold on.

Oh my God.

I'm really sorry.

What now?

How did this happen?

I'm just trying to work.

Sorry, Miss. Could you move to the back?

- Okay. - I need to check the engine.

- What now? - It broke down again.

It's broken again? Seriously?

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure what happened.

Are we ever gonna get there?

It's cold too.

In the name of God.

Guys, wait.

In the name of God…

Is everything okay?

You startled me!

It's nothing.

I'm just not sure,

if we should keep going.

It's like…

You're not from around here?

Yes.

We came here to hike,

but our car broke down.

Is it far to the basecamp?

It's a long way.

You should rest at my place tonight,

and head there by bike taxi tomorrow.

Everyone, I'm sorry…

- Well, that's how it is. - …it turned out this way.

- Okay. - Let's go.

Let's grab our bags.

While you're up there, remember to pray.

May your hike go well and be free of trouble.

I hope all five of you make it up and return safely.

- Amen, God willing. - Yes.

Drink up. It'll keep you warm.

- Okay. - Thank you.

I'm thirsty.

Sorry.

It's the best tea I've ever had.

Of course it's nice. All you do is drink it. You're exaggerating.

Sorry, she's being loud.

Classic, trying to get attention.

She acts cold, but she's actually keeping an eye on me.

Getting ahead of yourself!

Is that your son?

No, Naya. That's Gus Dur.

Our fourth president.

Not that one, next to it!

Oh.

Sorry.

Yes, that's my son.

He's like you guys, he loves hiking.

He said nature is our true home.

That's it.

Ma'am, can I,

use that for my Instagram caption?

Those are some nice words.

Oh, please!

Hi, Uncle.

I'm staying at a villager's house tonight,

our rental car broke down.

We'll go up Welirang tomorrow morning.

I will let you know.

Okay.

Bye.

Go home. You should turn back.

Excuse me.

Are you Mrs. Marsih's son?

You're a hiker too?

- Thank you for letting us stay. - Sorry!

That's okay.

Breakfast was great too. Thank you.

- Thank you. - You look better.

Miss, I'll use those quotes as my caption.

To upload.

Thank you so much, Miss.

We'll stop by tomorrow when we descend the mountain.

Sure.

You guys take care.

- Yes. - Yes, Ma'am.

Thank you so much. We're off.

- See you. - See you.

- Ma'am. - Yes?

Please give my regards to your son.

I met him last night when I grabbed a drink.

We're off now.

See you.

Careful guys.

Thank you, Mr. Cokro. Bye.

Bye, Mr. Cokro. Thank you.

- Let's go. - Bye!

- Bye, Cokro! - Bye, Ma'am!

I'm sorry.

Let's go!

Thank you. Goodbye.

- You're so loud! - You too!

Welcome. Where are you from?

Jakarta.

Oh, yeah.

Can I see your IDs and medical clearance?

- Here. - Okay, let me check.

Okay.

A lot of people up there?

Not today. It's pretty quiet.

Might be because of First Suro.

Many people are putting it off.

Is it safe?

God willing. As long as you mean well,

and be respectful, it's safe.

- Amen. - Amen.

Before we begin our trip, let's take a moment and pray.

That we'll reach the summit, and return safely.

I entrust myself to Allah,

and there is no power nor strength except through Allah.

Amen.

Move to the right. A bit more.

On three, shout "Welirang."

- Come on. - One, two, three, "Welirang"!

Welirang!

Let's go!

Okay, it's 9 A.M now. We should arrive at Kopkopan by 11.30 p.m.

That'll be two and a half hours. Okay?

- Okay. - Wait, let me upload first.

Trendy hiker!

- Call me, trendy hiker. - Guys, be careful!

Our path is rocky.

Be careful.

Come on. Okay.

Want some help?

Is everything okay?

This is our path.

Guys. You all good?

He’s so greedy.

That trail is insane.

It's all rocks.

My legs are sore.

Your legs are sore?

Need a mechanic?

That was nothing. Things are worse at Pondokan.

- Really? - I'm serious.

Like this?

That's wrong.

It's not hard. This is up.

You always do this.

- What? - What's this?

You're like a child.

Is it still there?

Satria.

Huh?

- Can you wipe my eye instead? - Where is it?

- Just poke his eyes. - Shut up.

Yes.

Thanks, Sat.

Be careful.

Slowly.

Whoa!

- Hey! - Gosh.

No wonder it's called

- the "Cursed Climb". - All good?

People who come here always shout…

Curse you!

Gosh!

Can you go on?

Yeah.

I got it.

Jeez.

Guys, wait.

How come it suddenly got so quiet?

Like everything just went silent.

Yeah.

It's weirdly quiet.

What was that?

What?

- You heard that? - Yeah!

- You all did? - I did!

Guys, calm down.

It was just a boar.

It's dangerous if they surround us.

We're in the woods. Okay?

Don't panic. Let's keep going.

- Come on. - You go.

Guys.

Did you hear that?

Yeah.

It's gamelan.

This isn't right.

Why is there gamelan music here?

Guys, don't panic.

There could be an event in the nearby village.

But the sound wouldn't reach here.

It's getting louder.

Gosh.

- I'm getting chills. - Me too.

Arga, what should we do?

Arga!

Guys, listen to me. Focus.

We'll keep going, ignore the noise. Okay?

Come on!

Ignore it? So stubborn!

Come on, Nay!

Let's go, Satria. Others are waiting.

- Yeah, sorry. - Come on, Satria!

Got it.

Guys, focus. Ignore the noise.

And stick together, okay?

Guys, look.

Do you see the headlight?

- Look, over there. - Where?

No way.

The ranger said nobody else is here besides us.

He said it's quiet, not empty.

It's gone!

You saw it too, right?

And the gamelan music is gone too.

What is this place?

Something's definitely wrong.

- It's not normal. - Guys.

Relax. Don't stress.

Let's keep moving so we don't get stuck here late.

Satria's right. Come on.

Stay close, all right?

- Hey, Naya. - Hmm?

Don't be afraid, I'll protect you.

Thanks.

Guys! I told you so?

We coexist with spirits!

- I swear. - You felt it too, right?

This is the first time I've ever experienced

something supernatural on a hike.

- Me too, Val! - I froze.

- I was… - It's like I couldn't even walk.

- I just froze up for five minutes. - Right?

Guys.

That's enough.

We'll head to the summit at 4 A.M tomorrow.

Rest up.

Are you saying I should forget it?

- That’s what happened. - Let's clean up.

Clean this up.

Finally. This is it,

instant noodles on the mountain. So good.

You're overreacting.

Am I?

This is the best meal ever.

Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind.

The King of mankind.

The God of mankind.

From the evil of the sneaky whisperer.

Who whispers into the hearts of people.

From among jinn and among people."

By the way, are you sure you're not going up?

I'll be the only girl there.

I'm gonna stay, Naya.

Here.

- Thanks. - Noval suddenly got sick.

I have to take care of him.

Don't you feel bad?

No one's gonna take photos or videos of us later. Right?

Don't leave me alone, stay with me.

Ask Tita to stay.

Really, Tita?

Who else, then? You?

- Ti! - What are you… Hey!

You care that much about Noval?

I can't believe it.

I warned you, stop fighting with him, or you'll get attached.

I'm not!

- Arga, Tita likes Noval. - Hey!

- Huh? - No!

- Arga. - How dare you!

Let Noval know.

What? No!

Are you sick?

Are we really still going up?

I've got a bad feeling.

Dude, look at them.

We wanted this so badly before.

Whatever it is,

we'll get through it together.

Don't worry.

I'll be over there.

Okay.

- Nay, follow me. - Hmm?

- For what? - Just come.

What?

- Satria! - Yeah?

- What are you doing? - Just hold it.

- No. - Come on.

- Yes? - Satria, share this with Naya, okay?

Here, the noodles.

You can have it.

She said to give it to you.

- You can have it first. - I'll…

I'll make it again.

I'll eat it before it gets cold.

So hungry.

From the trail to the summit,

it'll take about four to five hours.

Remember, stay alert.

- Okay. - The road ahead is quieter,

and fog can set in anytime.

Okay?

- Satria. - Huh?

You good?

Yeah.

You're quiet.

- It's nothing. Keep moving. - Come on.

- This is crazy. - Morning.

Morning.

Let’s go this way.

- Wow. Gosh. - Careful.

- It's too bad they missed this. - Yeah.

- The view is amazing. - It's gorgeous.

A solid footing, right?

Are you tired?

I'm okay.

Arga!

Let's take a break.

Let's push a bit more. We're almost there.

Arga.

My leg suddenly hurts.

That's unusual for you.

I don't know either.

All right. Let's sit.

Over there.

It's empty.

Yes.

Naya.

Wipe your sweat.

Thank you.

- Excuse me. - Yes?

May I sit with you?

- Go ahead, Sir. - Please.

Thank you.

- You're from the summit? - Yes.

Looking for sulfur.

Isn't it forbidden now?

Where are you going?

We're going to the summit.

You should,

go back.

At the top, the fog is getting thicker.

It is extremely dangerous.

Thank you.

We'll be extra cautious.

It's better to put it off.

I think he's right.

Something might go wrong up there.

Naya, we came all the way here.

We're almost at the top.

I know, but safety first.

If we must,

let's just go later.

It's for our own good.

What if something happens up there? What are you gonna do?

Nay, what will go wrong up there?

I don't know. But he said…

In my opinion,

we should turn back.

Fine.

All right. We'll go down.

We're going down at eight.

Yeah.

- Appreciate it, Sir. - Oh.

You're welcome.

We'll be going down.

- Goodbye. - Bye.

Take care.

- Yes. - You too, Sir.

Thank you.

Lots of thorns here.

Ouch!

The path looks different.

Huh?

It's different?

- Yeah. - Huh?

- When we left… - Okay.

- Sat, check the compass. Is it west? - Yeah.

I've never seen these trees before.

It's showing west.

Okay, umm…

Let's go back, the fog may have confused us.

Let's retrace our steps.

- Come on. - Are you sure?

Yeah. Stay close.

Come on!

Where are we going?

Why are we going this way?

This wasn't our way up.

Are you sure we're on the right path?

- Hey. - Huh?

Are you blaming me now?

I'm not. I was just asking,

are you sure this is the right path?

Don't put this all on me.

We got lost together.

I'm not blaming you, I was just asking.

Guys.

The compass.

This is weird.

It's still 8 A.M.

We went down at 08.00, right?

It's strange.

Let's get out of here.

- Hurry! - Come on, Nay.

Why are we here? We just passed this.

This is where we heard the gamelan music.

So…

How are we this far down?

If we're here, then our tent must be up there.

We missed it?

Let's just go that way. Come on.

Huh?

Arga.

Arga!

Ga?

- Hey. What's the matter? - You okay?

- You good? - Yes.

- You okay? - Look.

You go in the back, I'll lead. Okay?

Let's go.

Come on, stop spacing out.

- What's that noise? - What? Are we being chased?

- Run! Hurry! - We are being chased.

Run!

Let's go.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

See anything?

Nothing.

It's already dark.

Why aren't they back yet?

Maybe they're camping up there?

How? The tent's right here.

But it's already this late!

I'm worried too.

What should we do?

I'm so worried about them.

- Someone's here. - Where?

Look.

Oh, right.

- Sir. - Sir.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Sorry, did you come from the top?

I was.

Have you seen our friends?

Two guys and a girl?

The girl was in a ponytail.

I saw them at the top this morning.

I warned them not to continue up,

and they chose to descend.

This morning? But they haven't made it back.

But it's late now, where are they?

Sir, hold on.

So weird.

We've been walking for hours,

we should've reached the tent.

It should be night by now,

but it's still bright.

I think we've ended up,

in Alas Lali Jiwo,

a world not meant for us.

What are you talking about?

We're not lost,

something's keeping us here.

How would you know that?

Oh my God.

Arga.

Dad?

What's the matter, Mom?

Don't assume the worst.

Arga is trained for hiking.

ALAS LALI JIWO, 2022 MY BODY FORGETS THE SOUL

Dad.

Arga!

Dad.

Arga!

Arga!

Arga!

Hey! Where are you going?

Hey!

Dad…

Wake up!

Dad.

Your dad is gone, Arga!

Snap out of it, wake up!

Darn you!

I…

It's me, Arga! Your best friend!

Wake up!

Arga! Wake up! It's me!

Satria! Arga! Stop!

- I'm your bestfriend! - What are you doing!

Arga, are you okay?

Get up.

Are you serious? You're so childish!

Arga!

- Satria. - Arga!

Arga! Naya!

Come back.

Arga! Naya!

Come on.

- Careful, Ta. - Yeah.

- Sir! - Sir!

Oh my god, Sir?

What's wrong?

It's just you two?

Where is your friend?

I want to report.

Three of my friends didn't descend yesterday.

They still weren't back at Pondokan.

Three people?

- Yes, three. - Three.

The other two returned yesterday.

No way, you must be mistaken.

They returned yesterday.

I've been waiting from dawn, they couldn't have returned.

That can't be right.

Mr. Arga, Ms. Naya.

Oh.

OPEN

Oh? You're back?

Just you two? Where are the others?

Still up there?

I need your signs before you leave.

Right here…

Mr. Arga? Ms. Naya?

Fine, I'll sign it myself.

They just vanished.

See? It's signed.

They're back.

Sir. Naya and Arga,

wouldn't leave Satria behind.

- But here's the sign. - Sir…

It can't be two of them. All three went up together.

Please listen to me. I need your help.

- Please, sir. - Please find my friends.

- Okay, just calm down. - Help us.

Sir, please. Our friends wouldn't have…

Tretes basecamp to main post.

Three climbers possibly missing.

Two guys and one girl.

- No way, Sir. - They were last reported

- My friends wouldn't leave someone behind. - …to be on the route towards the summit…

- Calm down, we will help you. - …of the mountain.

Their names are Arga, Naya, and Satria.

Satria.

Wake up, Satria.

Wake up.

You're awake?

I'll help you up.

Okay?

Slowly.

You good?

Yeah…

What happened?

You passed out.

Sat.

Why did you slap Arga out of nowhere?

We're all tired and stressed.

We know how stubborn Arga is,

so let's just be the bigger people.

Yeah.

Sorry.

I've still got,

one piece of bread.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Tomorrow's search will focus,

on the Cursed Climb trail.

Continue searching up to the last known coordinates,

of the three missing hikers.

We'll spend the night at Pondokan Post.

Tomorrow's operation starts at 06.00 a.m.

I'm sorry.

I was…

I should be the one saying sorry.

This wouldn't have happened if I'd listened to you.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Hey.

I hear you,

what's done is done.

Right now,

let's focus on getting through this together.

Here.

You need to eat.

Get some energy.

Hey.

If you miss your dad,

send him prayers.

Recite Al-Fatihah.

Note this and share it with the volunteer team.

Sir.

- Yes? - Let me join the search tomorrow.

Pardon?

I can't sit still.

I can't relax until they're found.

Here, Naya.

I'm good.

You should drink.

I know you're exhausted.

Thank you.

Here.

Save it.

You need this too.

Where did you go?

I searched for water,

but I couldn't find any.

Are you sure about this?

If I don't go,

I'll regret it forever.

Be careful.

Dark fog has swallowed this mountain.

What do you mean?

Every mountain has its guardian.

Not everyone who enters will be welcomed.

Good luck.

Wish me luck.

Welirang is a sacred mountain.

And during Suro month,

lost souls come out to wander.

Arga! Satria! Naya!

- Satria! Hey! Arga! Naya! - We’ll sweep the route to the west.

I'm feeling weak.

Are you sick?

Wait. I'll see if I have medicine.

What day is it?

I might go insane,

if night time never comes.

If I can't go on,

leave me.

It's all right.

No, Naya.

I won't leave you,

even if I have to carry you

until we find our way back.

Alas Lali Jiwo is no ordinary path.

Many people have gone missing here,

especially when the fog is thick.

Sir.

Yes?

Something weird happened when we were here.

We heard the sound of Javanese gamelan.

Let's keep looking before it gets dark.

You heard him. Keep moving!

Yes, Sir!

Satria! Naya! Arga!

I hope we can save them all.

God willing.

Noval.

Don't stay up late.

Come here, Dear.

Come.

Arga!

Naya?

- Naya! - Arga!

- What's wrong? - He's…

Arga is acting really strange.

He said his dad is picking him up.

I don't understand.

- We have to chase him. - Calm down.

Arga!

Arga!

Arga!

What's with you…

Where's Satria? Arga!

Where's Satria!?

Arga!

I'll go after him!

Satria! Please tell me you're okay?

Can you hear me?

Wait there! Arga is coming for you!

Satria!

Satria!

Hang in there, Satria!

Hang in there, Satria!

Satria! Hang in there!

Satria!

Satria!

Satria! Hang in there!

Help.

Satria!

Satria!

I'm sorry!

Someone's there.

It should've been me who fell, not you!

You can do it!

Let's go back down to plan the next move.

Move out.

Yes, Sir.

Val.

We'll go right.

- Come on. - Let's move.

Okay.

- Let's take a break. - Are you okay?

Be careful.

Come on. Hang in there.

It's downhill, okay?

Don't use your right leg, just your left.

Okay? Go slowly.

- Okay. - Okay.

Okay.

Arga!

Sat!

Nay!

- Naya, that hurts. - Sorry, Satria.

Slowly.

Lie down.

Thanks, guys.

- Naya, come back! - Val!

Val, come here.

Calm down.

Hey.

You heard gamelan music at Alas Lali Jiwo?

Yes.

Are you sure it was that?

Yes! We all heard it.

Why?

Huh?

- Why? You better tell me. - Okay, okay.

Calm down.

Listen, Noval. According to the locals,

if you hear gamelan music…

you might not make it back.

Noval, stay with me.

You can worry, just try to keep calm too.

Okay?

The important thing is we try our best,

and hopefully your friends are okay.

I wish we could find help.

Satria has it rough.

He won't be able to recover.

What's wrong?

Hey.

Don't cry.

If you're thirsty,

I've got a bit of water left,

in my bag.

I left some for you.

Young man.

Come.

Your friend…

is in danger.

They're looking for prey.

Who?

Sir!

Satria, wake up.

Huh?

Mom?

Dad?

My body hurts all over.

I can't keep going.

You have to stay strong.

You need to get Arga and Naya home.

Eat this.

Be careful.

Arga.

You said you heard running water?

Be quiet.

You guys go ahead.

I'll catch up.

No.

There's no way we're leaving you behind.

You guys can go ahead.

Here.

I'll get you some water. Take a break here.

Careful.

I'll get you some water. Let's go.

Will you be okay?

- Yeah. - Nay.

Satria!

Satria!

- Naya! - Naya!

Naya!

Wait! I'll get you a drink.

Satria! What are you doing? I told you to wait!

Arga!

Careful.

Drink it.

Careful.

I can't walk anymore.

Just leave me.

Follow this stream,

and you'll eventually reach a village.

- Stop it! Arga! - You have to be strong!

We started as three, and we'll leave as three.

Arga. Stop.

Calm down.

I'm not leaving you here.

We'll walk together.

Come on.

- Come on. - Satria!

- What is that? - Naya!

That must be the rescue team!

Arga!

- Hey! - Noval!

Naya!

Satria!

Val.

Yes, Sir?

We got word that your parents have arrived at the basecamp.

Okay.

Let's go.

Noval!

Why can't they see us?

We're not in the same world.

‎

- Immediately… - They're here.

- Sir. - Wait, Sir.

After our search,

we can report that,

we still haven't found the three hikers.

There is not a single clue,

to guide us

in locating them.

What about the last witness who saw them?

Are you familiar with him?

Thing is.

From the features and clothing described to us,

the person matches a sulfur miner who died,

in the forest fire on Mount Welirang in 2019.

I saw him in my dream.

This incident,

is exactly the same as what happened to my child two years ago.

To this day, my child's body hasn't been found.

Excuse me.

Let me search for my nephew.

I'm a hiker.

I know this mountain trail.

I suggest

you try a different approach.

Our kids are facing a trial in another world.

We've made our physical efforts,

now we need spiritual ones.

Guardian of this mountain,

please let us in.

Dear Merciful God,

please save our children.

Arga, Satria, and Naya.

If they are under Your trial, strengthen their body and soul.

- If death is their fate… - Glory be to Allah.

…let them pass in a good state.

Tonight, we place them under Your protection.

Sometimes the lost are still there,

waiting for us to believe.

Satria.

Huh?

Look.

It's night.

We finally have nighttime!

Guys.

What if we never make it out of here?

You seem to know a lot about this place.

Be honest with me.

What are you hiding from us?

Actually,

I chose this mountain because…

of my dad.

He hiked here once.

He disappeared for four days.

When he was found,

he acted strangely,

like a different person.

He eventually lost his memory, got very sick,

and passed away.

My mom believes my dad's death wasn't normal.

As if his soul was taken by force. Like…

Dad.

Ga.

How could you?

You never told us about this.

I came here to prove,

that my mom was wrong.

That supernatural stuff is nonsense.

That's what you thought.

Look at what's happening to us now?

You should've told us from the start.

We could've prepared better, been more careful,

maybe not even come up the mountain.

Look at us now?

Look at Satria.

What can you do about it now?

Naya.

Please.

We're gonna leave this place. No matter what.

I'll take you guys.

I'll take you guys home.

We'll get out together.

All of us.

We'd just come back from a wedding in Bandung.

In the car were me, my wife,

and Satria's parents.

I was driving,

when suddenly, a truck hit our car.

Everyone died except me.

Since then, Satria has been with me,

from middle school until now.

Satria is quiet and doesn't open up easily,

But his heart is as deep as the ocean.

He won't hesitate to help a friend in trouble,

even when it costs him.

Naya?

Naya?

Naya!

Naya!

Naya!

Where are you going?

Naya.

Naya, what's the matter?

I promise,

we'll get back home.

You're mine now, Dear.

Satria!

You are mine.

Arga, wake up!

Satria!

Satria!

My dearest.

Satria!

- Nay! - Wake up, Sat!

Naya, someone's here!

Help! Help, us!

Our friend needs help!

Our friend is sick!

Please help us!

Satria?

- Wake up. Let's get out of here. - Naya, come on.

- Satria, wake up. Let's get out of here. - Come on.

Arga, help me up.

Almost there.

Okay.

You can walk, right?

We can rest in a villager's house.

Careful.

At least,

we're out of the woods.

Thank you.

Slowly.

Go up one step at a time.

One.

Isn't this house…

way too empty?

It's like no one lives here.

Arga.

Arga.

Arga.

Why are we here?

Huh?

How did we get here?

Satria.

Help.

Help!

Help!

Please help us!

Help!

- Sir. - We're over here!

- Sir! - Help us!

We're missing hikers from Mount Welirang!

Help!

- Okay, hold on! - Help!

I'll call for help.

- Okay! Thank you! - Okay! Thank you, Sir!

Satria!

Someone spotted us!

We'll go home.

Satria.

Sit up, Satria.

Careful.

I want to report, Sir.

- What is it? - I found three people by the waterfall.

What do they look like?

Two boys and a girl.

Satria, let's go home. Okay?

- Do you remember… - Huh?

…what Soe Hok Gie said?.

What?

People like us,

were never meant to die in a bed.

What are you talking about?

Don't say that.

No one's going to die. We're going home.

I'd be really upset if you left us.

Remember,

we still have so much planned.

Didn't you say,

we were going to be corporate slaves together?

We were going to see Noval succeed as an influencer.

Right?

Please don't leave us.

Look, there!

Hey!

We're right here!

- Help! - Nay!

You have to stay strong.

You need to get Arga and Naya home.

- Satria! - Wake up!

- They've found us! - We're going home!

- Sat? - Satria!

Satria!

Satria!

Satria!

Satria, wake up!

Arga! Brother!

What’s wrong, Naya?

What's wrong with you, Naya?

Arga!

Brother!

What happened?

Arga!

- It's okay. - Dear.

Their bodies are adapting to energy from another world.

Oh my God, Naya.

Dear.

These belonged to Satria.

We're sorry for any shortcomings.

But we tried our best.

Excuse me.

Good night.

Ma'am.

Val.

Sir.

That looks like my son's scarf.

May I see?

This belonged to him.

I embroidered his name on it.

Bagas.

That's a sign,

your son is reaching out through Satria.

So you don't have to worry about him anymore.

What happened to them?

Alas Lali Jiwo,

isn't just a forest.

It's a gateway to another realm.

The gate only opens on certain nights,

including the first Suro.

On top of Mount Welirang, there's a mystical kingdom,

ruled by a queen.

We call her,

the Welirang Princess.

She seeks men from the human world,

to be her companions.

The men she seeks,

are those with Tulang Wangi.

Those with a strong supernatural aura,

born on Friday Legi.

Satria was born,

on a Friday Legi night.

That's why he was targeted.

I don't know how strong Satria is,

because even in death,

he can still return.

A mountain is more than just trails and peaks.

It's also a home for the supernatural.

It's not vengeance when a mountain takes a life,

it's the will of nature.

Congrats, Sat. We've finally graduated.

Finally.

I bet you'd look better than me in a toga.

- Honestly. - It's true.

Satria, don't forget to blink, or your eyes will dry out.

- You're terrible! - Arga!

I'm sorry.

- What's wrong with you? - Satria,

that toga's on you because Naya edited it.

You know she's bad with tech.

But she learned Photoshop for your photo.

Graduates wear their tassel to the right.

You edited it on the left, that's wrong.

Sorry, I'm still learning.

At least I edited it so we can take a group photo.

Right?

- Umm… - We're done?

I'll take the picture.

- Okay. Please. Come on. - Please, Uncle.

Thank you.

Arga, can you move the tassel to the right?

Oh, right. Excuse me.

Everyone, smile.

One, two, three.
