[man in Javanese] Excuse me.

Good evening, madam.

[in Javanese] Good evening.

I hope we didn't come across as rude.

We came here

to check on Ayu's condition.

And, of course, your condition as well.

So...

you still doubt

my ability to unify?

No, madam.

We only came here,

ah,

to make sure

that there haven't been any problems

since the incident.

[ominous music]

The incident?

[Rara] Abidin, can I see the video?

- Sure. - [Rara] Can I? [chuckles]

Careful.

Careful.

[ominous music]

- [Rara in Javanese] This is great. - This one.

Ayu!

Ayu!

Ayu! Rendra!

- Oh my God. What's wrong, Ayu? - Ayu?

[in Javanese] Yu, it's over.

[Rara] Call everyone back there!

[Rara panicking]

Ayu.

- Rendra, help! - Ayu!

- [Rara groans] - Din! Help them out.

[Rara] Be careful.

[Rara] Peace be upon you.

Lie her down there. Over there.

Just a bit more. Come on.

Wait here for a bit.

Ja! Come on.

Hey? Hold on!

Where are you going?

[men in Javanese] We're going back, Ra.

[grumbles]

Oh my...

Hey.

Rara?

Why are we here?

Are you okay, Yu?

How are you feeling?

[Ayu groans]

[Rara] Get some rest.

Ayu? Rara?

Are you done with filming?

Didn't you say you'd be back late?

Uncle.

Ayu is...

What?

Hey, what's the matter?

Are you feeling unwell?

I think she's just tired.

That's why we took her home.

Get some rest.

I'll make some hot tea.

[hums]

[sighs]

Is everything that you told me true?

[footsteps approaching]

[Ajeng] Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you.

Hello, Rara.

Where's Ayu?

In her room, resting.

She must be tired from filming.

I'll go check on her.

Auntie.

[whispers] What is it?

Actually, while we were filming at the river,

something strange happened.

What do you mean?

Ayu wasn't acting like Ayu.

Her movements were off.

As if someone was controlling her.

Then she went weak, almost passing out.

Oh, Rara.

Don't worry about it.

Ayu is on her period.

That's how she is when she's on her period.

Easily tired and feeling weak. Isn't that right, dear?

- [hums] - Oh.

I'll go check on her.

All right.

Ayu.

[students] And upon you peace, and mercy, and blessings of God.

With praise and thanks to God,

we assemble in the courtyard of Karangan Public High School 1

for the announcement of the graduation of our 12th-grade students.

Praise be to God, all have successfully graduated.

[clapping, cheering]

The school would like to remind you a few things.

First,

students are not allowed to convoy on the streets...

Ayu.

Focus. You keep thinking about Reza.

Just marry him after graduating already.

I wish I could. But I should at least attend college.

Besides, Reza is still in police academy.

[shushing] Ms. Novita is watching.

[teacher] ...and to your underclassmen.

Let's each pray according to our own faiths.

Let's begin.

[Rara in Javanese] You know, Yu.

I want to go to Surabaya.

I'm hoping to get accepted to UNAIR.

What about you, Yu?

As the counseling teacher,

I called the two of you here

because I was very concerned about today's incident.

Ayu was the cause of the chaos that unfolded.

[Ms. Novita] She kept singing and dancing to a Javanese song.

I ask you two as her parents

to pay more attention to Ayu's condition.

- [sniffling] - [Ms. Novita] Take her home

and give her support.

[sighs]

He's not answering.

[Ajeng in Javanese] For my most beautiful child.

Here. You can have more if you want.

Here you go.

Can I ask you something?

[Ajeng] Dear.

You don't remember anything from Watu Kandang?

Dear.

[tense music]

Dad.

Mom.

I'm going to my room.

I'm tired.

[whispers] All right.

Dear.

Maybe we should consult a spiritual expert about Ayu?

Is there no other way?

I think

something happened to Ayu at Watu Kandang.

Dear, there's a village cleanup tomorrow.

Perhaps I should ask around...?

Don't. I'd rather not.

Let's not tell the villagers about this for now.

I'm worried this will tarnish our family's name

and we might end up being ostracized.

[phone buzzing]

[Reza] Ayu. I'm sorry.

I was selected for special training.

I do care about you. I just don't have time to contact you.

It's okay, Reza.

Why say it like that?

Are you still upset?

You don't believe me?

I believe you.

Okay, then. I'm going to bed.

I'll call you tomorrow when I'm free.

Okay.

MR. MANTO'S BOARDING HOUSE MALES ONLY

- Hey. - Hey.

Sorry, but have you seen Abidin or Rendra?

I've been trying to reach them, but no response.

They didn't even read my message.

[in Javanese] I thought you knew.

After the filming the other day, both of them just vanished.

No idea where they are.

[in Javanese] They even left their stuff.

- Yes. - [Rara] What?

Hey.

Can I see the video from yesterday?

- Here. - Thanks.

[in Javanese] Here's the video.

I'll leave you to it.

Okay.

[Rendra, recording] Abidin.

[Rendra, recording] We're changing locations.

This footage shows that you were obviously...

[Rara, recording] Ayu. Rendra!

...possessed.

- [Rara, recording] Ayu. - [Abidin, recording] Yu!

But listen.

Did you notice that before this, Abidin took something from Watu Kandang?

[Rendra, recording] We're changing locations.

[Rara, recording] Ayu.

[in Javanese] Is this why you got possessed?

- [Rara, recording] Ayu. - [Abidin, recording] Yu.

Ra.

Do you think if we find him...

[in Javanese] ...I won't snap again?

Well, I'm not sure, Yu.

But if he did take something,

there has to be a cure.

But we must find him first.

[sighs]

[gamelan music]

Ma'am.

[grunts softly]

- Mrs. Ajeng. - What?

Can I ask you something?

What is it?

[in Javanese] About the rumor I heard from the others.

[in Javanese] What is it?

They said the school's mass possession yesterday was caused by Ayu.

Is that true?

[awkward laugh]

[in Javanese] I heard many versions.

Some say it's because the courtyard used to be a graveyard.

And many others.

The one thing I know is that there was a mass possession.

- [in Javanese] Excuse me, ladies. - [woman] Yes.

[yelps]

Gosh, Mrs. Ajeng.

- I'm sorry. I didn't see you. - It's okay.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Be careful, Mrs. Ajeng. Get some rest.

Yes. Excuse me.

Sorry, but I have to get going.

- Yes. - Yes, go ahead.

- Be careful. - Thank you.

What's the matter?

the guardian of Watu Kandang.

Sir.

A few days ago, I had a dream.

[Rara] And in that dream,

I saw Ayu becoming a sinden singer.

Sinden?

Could this be tied to our friend?

Because he took something from Watu Kandang.

Can you find your friend?

- Uncle. - Mm.

Sorry, but...

I think we should keep looking for help.

Who?

Where else can we find a spiritual expert?

Not a spiritual expert.

This.

They're people who travel all over Java to make videos

about the supernatural.

And?

You believe them?

I don't want Ayu to become a spectacle.

Uncle.

That's what I first thought.

But with their help,

we might be able to find Abidin and Rendra.

[Thea] Is it even real?

What if they were lying just to go viral?

[Genta] They said they've been to several paranormal experts

but she never got better.

[Gaduh] We agreed to go there.

And we're on our way. Maybe we can provide help.

I guess it's not bad if it's real.

We could get a lot of subscribers.

You're obsessed with subscribers and content.

I'm great, thank God.

How are you?

I'm okay.

You sounded upset when we talked on the phone.

I'm okay, really.

Don't you believe me?

But you seem different.

You're not your usual self.

Are you mad at me?

Reza.

I told you I'm okay.

We don't see each other or talk on the phone much.

Do we have to argue the one time we meet?

I just want to make sure that you're okay.

You could be going through something that you haven't told me about.

Ayu, I'm serious.

Why are you laughing?

[Sarinten in Javanese] Ayu isn't lying.

Please stop joking around.

I came all the way here to see you instead of going home.

Ra, do you know what that place is?

Watu Kandang.

The place where Ayu got possessed.

[Ayu] I'm scared, Ra.

[Rara] I'm right here.

[Ayu sobbing]

Where did you film the dance?

Over here.

I was dancing here. Ayu was there.

The camera was over there.

And then Ayu got possessed.

[camera shutter clicks]

[ominous music]

It looks like a normal river on camera.

This is where it all began.

[Genta] We might find a lead that can help Ayu.

You should've said we were going to the river so we didn't forget the wide lens.

Where's Thea? What took her so long?

[in Javanese] Excuse us, sir.

Hello.

Let me introduce you to Gaduh and Genta.

They're here to help Ayu.

And guys, this is Mbah Di.

He's the village elder.

Hello.

Watu Kandang is sacred to our village.

You should keep your hearts and minds pure.

Right?

Yes, sir.

- [Mbah Di chuckles] - Okay.

Ra.

Do you know where Mbah Di lives?

- Yeah. - Can you take me there?

Okay. It's that way.

- Okay. - Gaduh.

You go ahead. I'm going back to grab the wide lens.

- Are you sure? - Yeah.

Do you know where his house is?

I'll ask around.

All right. Don't do anything reckless.

I won't. Just looking for ghosts.

Gosh. You brat.

[in Javanese] It's on you.

[sighs]

Come on.

Ayu.

Reza's here. You don't want to greet him?

Go to him.

Ayu. Sweetie.

You're burning up. Are you feeling sick?

Ayu!

That's enough dancing. Take this off.

Ayu... [yelps]

- Dear! Check on Ayu. - Dear?

Ayu. Enough with this.

- [groans] - Gosh!

- Yu! - Ayu! That's your father!

Ayu!

[in Javanese] Who are you exactly?

Leave Ayu alone!

- Get out! - Ayu! Cut it out!

- Ayu! - [Sarinten screams]

[groans]

[leaves rustling]

Guys?

Genta?

It's not funny.

You're trying to scare me? So childish.

[tense music]

[footsteps]

[door bangs]

[electricity crackles]

[ominous music]

Okay.

[in English] Okay, fine.

This is okay.

It's the perfect moment, Thea.

It's okay.

You can do this, Thea.

[Mbah Di] Watu Lintang

is no ordinary stone.

It is regarded as an ancestral relic in the spiritual realm.

But how can we know for sure it's Watu Lintang?

[in Javanese] Remember.

We must keep a clean heart and mind.

Just like you said.

Because Watu Kandang is a sacred ground,

anybody entering it with impure intentions

will be drawn to Watu Lintang's temptation.

The stone will appear different in their eyes,

attracting their attention.

Gaduh.

Is that what happened to Abidin?

That's why he took the stone?

Sarinten wants the stone back.

[tense music]

[Thea] Come on.

Come on.

[Sarinten] Child.

Hello?

Hello?

Ayu?

Ayu.

Yu.

Ayu, don't joke around.

Yu.

[yelps]

Ayu!

Ayu! It's me, Thea!

[in Javanese] I've warned you, child.

[Thea sobbing]

After that boy,

now you're the one causing trouble.

[chuckling]

[Thea sobbing]

Why did you take the Watu Lintang?

Now it's your turn.

[eerie laughter]

Someone will pick you up.

[growling]

Who's there?

Thea? Thea!

- [faint sobbing] - [Genta] Thea?

[Thea sobbing, whimpering]

Hey, Thea. It's me, Gaduh.

What happened?

- [Thea sobbing] - Thea.

Calm down.

What happened?

[Gaduh] What's wrong?

[shushing] Calm down.

[Genta] Breathe.

[Sarinten in video] Now you're the one causing trouble.

Gaduh.

Hm?

[abrupt beat]

Ayu!

Ayu!

Gaduh...

Ayu!

[Gaduh] It's okay. You can tell me everything later.

I have to go to Ayu's house.

- [Thea] Okay. - Genta will stay with you here.

[Thea] It's okay.

You two go take Ayu.

I'm fine.

[in Javanese] Close it.

Yeah.

[ominous music]

[Thea panting]

[mumbling] Thea.

Thea.

Gaduh.

[Genta] What did she say?

It's okay. We should take her inside first.

[Gaduh] Peace be upon you.

Ayu.

- Let me help. - Yu.

- Sit here, sweetie. - Sit there.

She was at Gaduh's place.

What?

Ayu.

What were you doing there?

Thea?

Ayu!

What are you doing here?

Where are we? Are you okay?

I don't know, Thea.

But I'm really scared.

Ayu, that entity...

Ayu.

Ayu! What happened? Ayu!

What entity?

Thea...

Run.

- [Gito] Ayu? - [Ajeng] Gito.

[Genta] Ayu.

[Gito] Ayu.

We should head back.

- Yeah. - [Ajeng] What?

[ominous gamelan music]

Don't be afraid, child.

This is my place.

Where I was banished

because the entire village hated me.

But this Watu Kandang

has been a blessing to me.

Its water flows and merges with the southern sea.

Giving me new life

and the supernatural power

to seek vengeance.

[Sarinten giggles]

Why am I here?

Soon, this will become your world, child.

I don't want it.

You've opened the spirit realm.

[multiple creatures howling, growling]

They're here to pick you up.

[Sarinten laughing]

[Thea sobbing]

- [ominous gamelan music stops] - [panting]

[ominous gamelan music]

- Thea! - Thea!

Thea!

Thea.

Are you okay?

- Here, sit. - [Thea] Gaduh.

Are you okay?

Gaduh.

I...

I had a dream about Sarinten.

She said

a portal to the spirit realm had been opened.

[growling]

[Thea] And...

I...

[burps]

I...

[burping]

Thea?

- Thea? - Hold on.

- What's wrong, Thea? - [retching]

Thea.

What's wrong?

[mumbling, retching]

Gaduh.

[coughs]

[tense music]

[in Javanese] What are you hiding from me?

The situation is bad enough as it is.

[ominous music]

[ominous music intensifies]

[eerie sounds]

- [door slams] - [gasps]

- [creature growling] - [Thea screaming]

Thea?

- Thea! - Thea!

[Gaduh grunts]

- Thea. - Thea!

How is she?

She's weak.

- Take her inside. - Okay.

[grunting]

There's something wrong.

Ayu called out to Thea in her sleep.

[ominous music]

- I think... - We should go home.

Go home?

[in Javanese] What are you saying?

We promised to help them.

We said we'd help if it was within our means. Now what?

We might lose Thea.

We agreed to come here and give Thea an unforgettable experience.

You invited her.

[in Javanese] I didn't mean to be rude.

But this is beyond what we can handle.

From the start,

this wasn't something we could handle.

But should we just do nothing?

[in Javanese] I'm going home.

Thea will come with me.

Genta.

[sighs]

What?

Okay.

But we'll go to Ayu's house first.

We'll bring Thea.

[panting]

[whimpering]

[sobbing]

[growling]

Gaduh!

Genta!

Gaduh!

Thea is in danger.

And so is Ayu.

[grunts]

- Ayu! - Ayu.

[Sarinten in Javanese] Why are you here?

[Gaduh] Excuse us, madam.

We...

She's not talking to us.

- [bones cracking] - [grunts]

- Oh my God! - Step back.

Ayu.

[Gito] Yu...

[distorted voice in Javanese] Where I go is none of your business.

Besides, this isn't your house.

[Sarinten in Javanese] Leave this place!

[grunts]

[distorted voice] It's you who should leave!

[Sarinten] Leave the people of this house alone.

I'll crush your head!

[hisses]

[distorted voice] Try it if you can.

You will be the one to die first.

[snarls]

[in Javanese] Who are you?

[maniacal laughter]

Quickly prepare Turonggo Yakso!

[Sarinten screams]

- [Ajeng yelps] Ayu! - Ayu!

[all] Ayu!

[in Javanese] What's going on, sir?

She mentioned "Turonggo Yakso."

Watu Kandang's spirit realm is now open.

Spirits are now roaming freely in the human realm.

On the other hand, Thea ventured into the spirit realm.

So we must perform the Turonggo Yakso ritual?

Yes. It's the only way to gather the escaped spirits.

Once they've witnessed the Turonggo Yakso ritual,

they'll return to their realm.

After that, I will close the portal.

[gamelan music]

[in Javanese] Stay strong.

[indistinct chatter]

[gamelan music stops]

Dad, Mom. I'm scared.

Sweetie.

Everything will be okay.

[Gito] Okay?

Rara, Reza.

Thank you very much.

[somber music]

Be careful. Go slowly.

[Gito] You okay?

Ayu.

When this is all over,

I want to marry you.

Reza.

Mbah Di said it's unlikely that I...

You'll be okay, Ayu.

Everything will go back to normal.

All right?

Okay.

I'll see you soon.

- [in Javanese] Excuse me, sir. - [in Javanese] Come.

- Ayu! - Calm down, dear.

Its water flows and merges with the southern sea.

[whip cracks]

[gasps]

[panting]

Mbah Di.

Thea!

What do we do now?

[Mbah Di in Javanese] It's unmistakable.

Follow the path of the water.

How do we do that?

If you want to help Thea,

meditate along the water.

[ominous music]

[in Javanese] Excuse me, sir.

Is there no other way?

This practice has been passed down for generations.

One of you won't be coming back.

But do not fear.

It means they're the chosen one.

Let's not waste any more time.

[ominous music]

Ayu, don't! That's enough!

- You're back to normal! No, Ayu! - But, Dad!

- Ayu! Ayu! - [Ajeng] Ayu!

- [Mbah Di] Calm down, sir! - Mbah Di!

- [Mbah Di] It's okay. - Ayu.

Genta?

Ayu?

[Rara] Where's Ayu?

Where is she?

[sobs softly]

[Reza] Ayu.

[sobbing]

[in Javanese] What do we do?

[panting]

[sobbing]

- [wailing] - [beast growling]

[Ayu] Thea!

- Thea! - Ayu!

- Ayu! Help me! - Let's get outta here.

- [beast growling] - Hang in there, Thea.

- Ayu, I'm scared! - Hold on.

- [growling] - Help!

It's so hard to untie it.

[grunts]

[heavy footsteps nearing]

Hold on.

Just a bit more!

[gasping]

[beast snarling]

She's been gone for too long.

I'm afraid I must unify Ayu.

What do you mean?

It means to be unified with Sarinten.

But I need you two to accept it.

Sir.

For me right now,

the most important thing is to bring Ayu back.

I'll accept anything.

I'll accept it, so please help my daughter.

If...

that's going to be a part of my life,

I...

I will still see her in the same way.

[tense music]

[Thea] Yu!

- Yu! - Hurry, Thea!

- We must find a way to the river. - Yu!

- [beast growling] - [Thea yelps]

Thea!

Thea!

[gamelan music]

[in Javanese] Excuse me, madam.

I need your help.

Please save my friend.

No! Just trust me!

[thumping, growling]

[Ayu] Come on!

[growling]

Thea, jump!

[in Javanese] Now, we just have to wait.

What's important is that you're in acceptance.

[somber music]

Ayu?

- [Rara] Ayu? - [Ayu] Reza!

[Ajeng] Careful!

[Reza] Ayu!

- [Ayu panting] - [Reza] Ayu!

Are you okay?

Ayu!

Ayu!

[in Javanese] Sir, what about my friend?

Your friend is still stuck in the spirit realm.

[ominous music]

- Easy, there. - [Abidin] Madam! Forgive me!

- [nurse] Easy, Abidin. - [Abidin] Madam!

- [Abidin's screaming continues] - [Thea sobbing]

[Mbah Di] Miss Ayu.

Are you ready in body and mind?

I'm ready, sir.

Mr. Reza.

Are you ready to accept Ayu and she who resides within her?

[tense music]

I'm ready.

[softly] Praise be to God.

[in Javanese] Do you accept this man?

[chuckles]

[tense music intensifies]

[Mbah Di] As long as nobody disturbs it, it's not a problem.

I see.

But someone took something from the sacred grounds.

- When he wasn't supposed to? - Yes.

- You bought a whole young coconut? - Yes.

When my friend opened theirs, it was fine.

But when Ayu opened hers...

Boom. There was fire and smoke.

Fire and smoke?

[Sarinten in Javanese] Someone bad took my home!

Oh...

My home became dirty.

Then I had to find out who did it.

You found them?

I found them!

- Really? - I am Sarinten, after all!

But I knew this child before.

[Sarinten giggles]

So you'd been eyeing her?

[Sarinten giggles]

I wish my grandchildren could sing sinden like me,

but they can't do it no matter how many times I teach them.

So stupid.

Wherever you go,

there are bound to be rules.

[Gaduh] Mm.

[Ayu] It was originally someone else's wrongdoing,

but it ended up affecting me.

The reason I want to speak up about this

is because this will be a good reminder for people to be cautious.

Sometimes, when we make mistakes,

it may not always affect us directly,

but it could cause harm to others.
