THE SUN RISES BETWEEN THE TWO HORNS OF THE DEVIL

AND ALSO SETS BETWEEN THE TWO HORNS OF THE DEVIL.

[ominous voices whispering]

BIRTH

- [Jaya] Mom. - [Yati] Yes, Jaya?

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you.

- [in Bantenese] Sorry I'm late. - It's okay.

I just delivered a baby in the neighboring village.

[Darisah] It's like they planned this together.

[Yati in Bantenese] No, it's just a coincidence.

[Darisah] Oh.

- [Darisah] Yati. - [Yati] Yes?

[Darisah] Sumirah has been having contractions since dawn?

- [Yati] Yes. - [Darisah] And the afternoon?

[Yati] Her stomach pain comes and goes.

Right?

[Darisah] Then it's okay.

It's her firstborn. The baby is looking for a way out.

Let me take a look at her.

[Darisah] She's close to going into labor, but we can't do it in this room.

It's stuffy.

- It's hot. - [Yati] Then where?

[Darisah] Poor girl.

[Yati] Hurry up, Jaya.

[Darisah] Let's do it in the living room.

Please set the bed up there.

[Yati] Jay!

In a second, Mom.

[Yati] Lay out the mats!

[Jaya grunts]

[Yati] Cover it with sheets.

Why is the chair there? Put it away!

Where should I put it?

[Yati] In the corner over there.

- [cat meowing] - Not here, kitty.

[shooing]

[door creaks]

It's done.

- It's done. - [Yati] Okay.

[Yati] Slowly.

Careful.

Careful.

Careful there.

[Jaya] Easy.

[calm music]

[Darisah] Careful.

Careful.

Lift her body, Jay. Just a bit more.

[Darisah exclaims softly] To the left.

Are you comfortable?

Jaya.

Sumirah is sweating. Can you get the fan?

Ma'am, excuse me for a second.

The socket is over there.

There.

- [Yati] Careful! - [Jaya] Yes.

Jay, where's the broomstick?

Broomstick...

Where should I put this?

Under the pillow.

[Jaya] Okay.

[ominous music stops]

Go wait outside.

- Okay, Mom. - Pray for your wife's smooth delivery.

- Go on. - Okay, Mom.

Hello.

[in Bantenese] Sumirah's husband, is the baby a boy or a girl?

[in Bantenese] Sorry, who are you?

I'm Uwak Irah.

Uwak Irah?

Doesn't ring a bell.

You don't know me?

Well...

I'm sorry, I've forgotten.

Are you serious?

You don't know? I'm your in-law's sister.

- [Yati] Jaya! Who's that? - What?

I don't know. Who are you again?

Uwak.

Uwak Sarnah?

- The one who gave the thick envelope? - Yeah.

I see.

I'm rich, you know.

- [Yati] Who? - Uwak Sarnah.

[Yati in Bantenese] Let her in, Jay.

Come in, Auntie.

[tense music]

- Peace be upon you. - Peace be upon you, Jay.

- Hey. - Peace be upon you.

[in Bantenese] I thought you wouldn't come.

- [chuckles] - Long time no see.

[in Bantenese] I took a day off to come to Serang from Jakarta

to see your kid and wife.

Here you go.

- What's this? - [in Bantenese] A little something

for your family.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

How is she doing? Has she given birth yet?

Only contractions so far. The baby's not out.

She's been having contractions since dawn, right?

- I feel sorry for her. - Yeah.

Where are your parents? Are they here yet?

They'll be here. They're on their way.

Any time now.

Are you sure?

Of course. After all, it's their son's...

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you.

Hello, Auntie. [chuckles]

Sumirah's husband.

- Yes? - [in Bantenese] Is it a girl or a boy?

It's not born yet.

When did the contractions start?

Yesterday.

How is she doing?

I'm not sure.

No wonder you're outside.

- Yeah. - Who's inside?

Uwak Sarnah is inside.

Oh.

- Uwak Sarnah? - Yes.

All right. I'll just drop this off, then.

Thank you.

Tell Sumirah I said hi.

Okay.

I hope it goes well. You hang in there too.

Listen, you're going to be a father soon.

You should leave bad habits behind.

Your body and soul belong to your family.

I'm leaving now.

- Why don't you come in? - I'm good.

- Thank you, Auntie. - Peace be upon you.

- Peace be upon you. - Take care, Auntie.

- Take care. - [Yati] Jaya!

[in Bantenese] Keep it down! Think about Sumirah!

[whispers] I'll be back.

[whispering] It hasn't been 40 days since Sumirah's dad's passing.

- He passed away? - Yeah.

- Really? - Yeah.

- I had no idea. - I remember.

No wonder you feel sorry for Sumirah.

I bet she'd be happier if she'd married you instead.

[shushing]

- Guys. - Yeah?

Sorry, I only have water.

It's fine. You didn't have to.

Enjoy.

You're having a kid so you need to save money.

You'll need a goat for the aqiqah if it's a girl.

And two for a boy. For the aqiqah.

Oh.

You can think about the aqiqah later when the baby is born.

- Don't rush it. - Yeah.

How expensive is a goat?

A goat?

It's three million rupiah for one goat.

But it's on the rise.

- It's getting higher. - Mm-hm.

My dad also suggested

doing it sooner rather than later.

As soon as the baby is born, arrange the aqiqah.

The sooner the better.

That is, if you have the money.

Let's just pray for good fortune.

God willing.

As a friend, I definitely pray for you.

You sure you don't want to work with us in the factory?

Well...

it's just...

You guys have big builds and are strong.

I don't think they'd accept someone scrawny like me.

Don't say that.

You should try and apply.

Who knows? You could get lucky.

Besides, a lot of the guys in the factory have small builds too.

Don't worry about it.

Really?

Yeah. You don't believe me?

You have a high school diploma.

You can't stay with Mrs. Hajj selling chicken forever.

You must have a steady job. Don't settle for odd jobs.

It's for your wife and kid.

- On the right! Watch out! - [loud noise from phone]

Here. Look.

You go forward!

[laughing] That's it!

Shh!

[salawat recitation on recording]

Keep it down.

- Right. - Keep playing.

It's almost fajr.

- Take it easy. - Let's call it a day.

- What's the rush? - I feel bad for your wife.

You'll be busy once she's in labor.

- We also only took a day off. - Yeah, just one day.

We can continue tomorrow.

- Just let us know. - Why don't you stay until fajr?

- Just let us know once she's given birth. - Once the baby's born.

- You're going back? - Yeah.

- Yes, it's time for the morning prayers. - I think she's giving birth to twins.

- Really? - That's why it's taking her so long.

- Wish us luck. - Yeah, of course.

- Stay healthy. Congratulations. - Thanks for coming.

- Thank you. - Take care of yourself.

- [man] Peace be upon you. - [Jaya] Take care.

[Jaya] Take care! Thanks!

[Darisah] Not long now.

[tense music]

[crows cawing]

[fajr prayer call]

[tense music intensifies]

Jaya!

Jaya!

- [in Bantenese] Wake up, Jaya! - Oh my God!

Don't startle me like that.

Get up! Stay with your wife.

- Has she given birth yet? - Not yet. That's all you care about.

Go inside. I'm going to pray.

Yes, Mom.

- Dear. - Hm?

[in Bantenese] You're so quiet.

Your child wants your attention.

How so?

Like this.

Just like this.

[tender music]

[Yati] Ma'am.

[in Bantenese] Do the clothes fit okay?

[Darisah in Bantenese] It's perfect. Our sizes are not far off.

[tender music stops]

Gosh.

Mom.

Yes, sweetie?

[crows cawing]

Don't you hear that?

Hear what?

You seem a bit lost.

[tense music]

[ominous whispers]

[Darisah in Bantenese] Baby, please come out.

Your poor mother is tired.

[crows cawing]

Ma'am.

[Darisah] Yes?

[Bantenese] Did you hear that?

[Darisah] Hear what?

- It sounded like the cry of a crow. - [Darisah shushing]

- [Darisah] It's nothing. - [Yati in Bantenese] Hear what?

[Darisah] It's nothing.

- Like the cry of a crow. - [Darisah] Shh. It's nothing.

- What's wrong, ma'am? - [Darisah] I don't hear anything.

[foreboding music]

Are we running out of warm water?

There's more in the kitchen. I heated up two pots.

Can you please bring them?

Jaya, wake up!

Get the water from the kitchen for Aunt Darisah.

[Yati] Your husband is always sleeping.

[Sumirah] Maybe he's just tired.

[Darisah] Never mind.

I can grab the water myself.

- Goodness. - I'm sorry. Thank you.

Oh my God.

Jaya!

Jaya!

[Yati] Wake up!

[in Bantenese] It's done?

See for yourself.

[ominous music]

Not yet?

Not yet, dear.

[crows cawing]

[ominous music fades]

[soft music]

[crows cawing]

[ominous whispers]

[ominous music intensifies]

[whispers indistinctly]

Lift her up.

Carefully.

- [Sumirah groans] - [Darisah] Bismillah.

[Darisah] Drink this.

[Yati] In the name of God.

[Darisah] That's good.

Yati, get me a dark piece of cloth, quickly.

Prepare more warm water.

And Jaya, close all the curtains tightly.

- Hurry! - [Sumirah] Ouch.

- Not this! Dark-colored fabric! - [Sumirah] Ma'am.

- [crows cawing] - My stomach is hurting.

Jaya, check the bathroom and close the door!

[Sumirah] Ma'am.

[Sumirah groaning]

[Darisah] Jaya, close this too.

[pained groaning]

- [Yati] Wait outside! - Ma'am, it hurts!

- [Darisah] It's okay. - Mom, it hurts!

[Darisah] Breathe in.

- [Darisah] Hold it. Exhale. - [Yati] Istighfar.

[Darisah] Come on.

- [strained cries] - [Darisah] Yes, keep going.

- Keep pushing! Again! - [Sumirah keeps screaming]

Keep it up! Hang in there!

You can do this.

Hang in there, sweetie.

- [Sumirah keeps screaming] - [Yati] Keep going.

- Is she done? - Not yet.

Stop asking the same question over and over.

Go find a car.

- A car? - We're taking her to the hospital.

Why?

I'll tell you later. Hurry up and find a car!

Where can I find one?

Go ask around or whatever. Hurry, Jaya!

[motorcycle revving]

[ominous music]

[car engine rumbling]

[car door slams shut]

[Jaya] I'm back, Mom.

[Yati] Careful there.

Where's the car?

- [Jaya] There it is. - [Yati] Really?

Oh my God, Jaya!

Are you serious? You borrowed that kind of car?

It's like a chicken coop!

Where will Dar and I sit?

What can I do? This is all I could find.

Didn't you say we were borrowing your sister's car?

[Jaya] You mean Uwak Sarnah's?

- She sold her car. - [Yati] Goodness!

That's not true. The dealer seized her car.

- She sold it, Mom. - The dealer took it, Jaya.

Because she couldn't pay the installments.

- I saw her jewelry last night. - You just wouldn't listen.

Cut it out! Dear God.

- Don't you want a smooth delivery? - Yes, ma'am.

- Careful. - Take care of your wife.

Go straight to the hospital.

- Oh my God, Jaya. - Head to the city.

- Which hospital? - Hey, Jaya!

The car registration. You missed Mrs. Hajj calling you.

Sorry, I was in a hurry.

Thank you.

- Hang in there, okay? - Oh my God, you're going to the hospital?

Remember God, Sum.

- They'll cut your stomach open. - What are you saying, Narti?

- Don't say that! - Calm down.

I heard they do that if you give birth in the hospital.

- Calm down, you two. - Hang in there.

Jaya, hurry up!

- Dar, we should find a car too! - All right.

[crows cawing]

[somber music]

- [honking] - Hey! Move!

[honking]

- [in Bantenese] Hey, dumbass! Move! - [honking]

[grunts]

[dogs barking]

[Jaya shooing]

Sir, please move the dogs aside.

Sorry, sir.

[ominous music]

[clunking sound]

Why is it breaking down now? [clicks tongue]

[engine sputtering]

Jaya.

What?

[weakly] Is that the guy from before?

[in Bantenese] Back there.

[engine sputtering]

[in Bantenese] From where?

Look. He's coming here.

Let's go.

Hurry, Jaya!

- Hurry! - What's wrong, dear?

[ominous music intensifies]

Lock the door!

Jaya! Lock it!

See? It's okay. You're overreacting.

- [engine starts] - [sighs]

[traditional music]

Excuse me, sir.

- [in Bantenese] Where are you going? - [in Bantenese] We wanna pass through.

Go left, that way. There's a wedding reception here.

Can I reach the city that way?

- Yes, you can. - Okay. Thank you, sir.

Sure.

[ominous music]

[cat shrieks]

[Jaya] Oh my God.

[Sumirah] Gosh.

[Jaya] I think there was a cat.

[Sumirah] You should be more careful!

[Jaya] I'm going to check.

[Sumirah groans]

[ominous music]

Dear.

Dear!

Dear!

- [Jaya grunts] - [Sumirah groans]

Hey, what's wrong?

[in Bantenese] It hurts, dear.

[in Bantenese] It sounds like we hit a cat, but I don't see anything.

- [abrupt beat] - Come on.

- Hurry up, dear. - On it.

- Dear. - Yes?

What?

It doesn't hurt anymore.

What do you mean?

My stomach doesn't hurt anymore.

Not even contractions?

No.

How...?

Here.

I remember Darisah saying

the baby likes to play.

Maybe it's taking a break. Don't worry.

Don't worry about it. Let's go.

[unsettling music]

Jaya. Are we there?

Jaya.

[abrupt beat]

- [moaning in pain] - [slicing]

[Sumirah screams]

Dear.

[panting]

[in Bantenese] What startled you?

[in Bantenese] I'm scared.

Why?

I'm scared of having my stomach cut open.

Don't think about what Narti said.

Calm down.

Don't stress over it.

But I have a bad feeling.

Calm down.

We're here. Let's go.

Come on.

Can you come down?

REGISTRATION & PATIENT ADMINISTRATION

Hello, how can I help you?

[serene music]

[heart beating, heavy breathing]

Jaya.

[in Bantenese] She asked you a question.

Nurse, my wife is about to give birth.

I see. Please sit here, ma'am.

Can you help your wife, sir?

Right.

Ready?

- We're going to check on her. - Nurse!

What about the paperwork?

Don't worry about it.

This is an emergency. We should treat your wife right away.

I'll catch up with you later for the paperwork and registration.

Let's go, sir, ma'am.

DELIVERY ROOM

Sir, ma'am.

Please excuse me for a second.

Wait here.

Okay.

Sir, I told you to stay in your room.

[whispers] Excuse me.

Why are you outside?

Jaya.

Yes, dear?

Do you know why I had to go to the hospital?

I don't know.

What do you mean, you don't know?

I thought your mom and Aunt Darisah had told you.

How could you?

Jaya.

What is it?

Are you not excited for our baby's birth?

I'm excited. How could I not be?

It's our baby.

That's it? You don't seem excited.

What do you want me to do?

Back then...

you weren't ready to marry me.

[somber music]

So why...

Why did you...

stop me from aborting this child?

Hey, stop. Nonsense.

I promise

to take responsibility until the baby is born.

Don't say that.

All right?

And then?

Once the baby is born, what about me?

In any case,

we'll raise our child until they grow up.

Okay?

[Nurse Ayu] Mr. Jaya?

Yes, nurse?

Sorry for the wait.

[stammering] No worries.

How did you know my name?

I heard your conversation with your wife.

Doc.

Hello, I'm Doctor Ummu.

I'm here with Nurse Melati,

Nurse Suci,

and Nurse Ayu.

We will be in charge of your wife's delivery.

Hello, Doc.

Hello, lovely mom-to-be.

What's your name?

Sumirah, Doc.

With such a beautiful mother, the baby is sure to be lovely.

- Yeah. - I agree, Nurse Melati.

The parents are both good-looking.

[chuckles]

What matters is the baby's health, right?

That's right.

That's the most important thing.

Okay, nurses.

Let's get to it.

- Yes, Doc. - Right away.

Jaya!

Come with me, dear!

Doc! Please wait a minute!

Mr. Jaya, we know what to do.

Please wait.

Okay, Doc.

Mr. Jaya, please wait here.

Your wife is in good hands with Dr. Ummu.

Why don't you come with me to fill out the paperwork?

Hello, Mom?

Yes, I'm here.

[in Bantenese] I was just going to inform you,

but you called first.

Yes, she's in the operating room.

Hello, Mom?

Hello?

Hello!

Could you take off your clothes?

It's better for the delivery process.

Everything?

Just the hijab is fine.

Okay, Doc.

[ominous music continues]

You can put it here.

- Thank you. - Yes.

[ominous music fades]

Hello.

[in Bantenese] Going somewhere? I can give you a lift.

[in Bantenese] I didn't call for you.

What do you mean?

You were waving your hand earlier.

I was trying to get some signal.

Look elsewhere, not here.

There was no signal inside either.

You won't find any in there.

What are you doing here?

My wife is in labor.

What?

Seriously?

Yeah. Excuse me.

[abrupt beat]

[tense music]

[Sumirah] Doc.

Are you cutting open my stomach?

[Dr. Ummu] Cutting open?

I mean, am I getting surgery?

We're not sure.

I'll have to check you first.

Excuse me.

[tense music continues]

Doc.

Yes?

I feel cold.

That's because you're nervous.

That's why you feel cold all over.

You should relax, okay?

Just relax. [chuckles]

How's your mother?

Please pray for her.

Did you...

have it too?

This...

is my fault.

If your mother didn't have that,

we wouldn't be able to eat.

Mom.

I came here looking for Mbah Taliman, sir.

[ominous music]

My mother implanted charm needles here 30 years ago.

She's dying right now.

Please, sir.

Please remove whatever was implanted in my mother's body.

So my mother can pass away peacefully.

[ominous music stops]

How did you find out about this address?

From my father.

He brought my mom here back then.

Listen.

Mbah Taliman has passed away.

He was my father.

But, sir...

my mother can only pass away if the charm needles are removed.

Please help me.

My mother's been dying for two weeks.

Please, sir.

[muffled groaning]

[groaning stops]

[quivering sobs]

[Mbah Taliman's son] I'm sorry.

I'm not strong enough.

It should've been removed by my father...

because he planted the charm.

It's okay, sir.

I'm grateful for your help.

[sighs]

Everything has been taken care of.

What do you mean?

You didn't kill her, right?

What do you mean, sir?

Your father should know.
