01x06 - The Flower Withers

[bunniefuu]

I saw something in your room.

Will you marry me?

When will you stop being in denial?

Will you only believe it
if Mom and I get cursed too?

What I've been looking for
is an item called a knot.

How could nails come out of his throat?

Dad had an affair with Mom
and got her pregnant with you.

This is a joke, right?
You think money can bring my dad back?

What kind of disease
causes you to throw up insects?

-Astuti.
-It's coming to take everything!

-Mom?
-Wulan?

This is enough motive for Auntie Rima
to hold a grudge against them.

-Can I come along?
-It's too dangerous.

What were you doing in Mom's room?

What's going on?

-Do you know what's going on?
-Not sure, I saw the crowd so I came here.

Mr. Harna?

Please, nothing to worry about.

Auntie? Auntie Rahma?

Auntie, it's Wulan.

-Wulan?
-Yes, Auntie. What is going on?

Reno...

Reno...

Esa...

THE FLOWER WITHERS

Do you have an estimation
on when he will wake up, nurse?

I see.

When he wakes up,
can you call me at this number?

I'm Wulan. His niece.

Yes, thank you.

Mr. Harna's still in a coma?

I don't know what to do.

Mom's been in a very good mood.

Her condition will drop again
if she hears about Reno.

I don't think you should tell her now.

I mean, you can find
a more appropriate time.

After talking to Auntie Rima,

it's like we're back to square one.

It's like, we did all this for nothing.

No, it's not. We can start looking
into our parents' past.

Do you believe our parents
had it in them to harm people?

I don't.

I know my dad very well,

and I'm pretty sure
your dad was not a bad person either.

Wait, Asep.

The people behind this must be
those who hate our parents.

You...

You sure you don't want
to stay here tonight?

I mean, in the guest room.

Since your hand got hurt.

Thanks, but I should go home. It's...

Okay.

Who is that?

Who is that, Asep?

I don't know, miss.

He's been hanging around for a while now.
Even the rain doesn't move him.

Hey!

-Miss?
-Hey! Hey!

Miss!

I got his plate number.

Let's go inside now.

Mom?

-Mom?
-Wulan?

Why are you drenched? Where were you?

I was dropping Esa off. Then when I was
going into the car, it rained.

-Mom.
-There you are.

-Have you eaten?
-No, I'll eat later.

-Go have dinner, or you'll get sick.
-Later, I want to watch this with you.

-That...
-What's with the face?

-What's with the face?
-Right?

Wulan...

Wulan, what's up?

No, nothing.

I'll go take a shower.

Mom, look!

What's with them?

Wulan?

Are you nuts?

I thought you promised you'd stop using?

You didn't have to yell.

What did you expect me to do?

Our family's going through a lot
right now! Don't add more to it!

That's exactly why I'm using!

I need these to get through all of this!

You do know that using will only
add to our problems, right?

We should be dealing with this
with clear minds,

not under the influence!

Give them to me!

Now clean that up
and put the basket outside my room.

Darn it!

Honestly, I'm disappointed, Wulan.

If you couldn't handle it,
you could've told me.

I'm really sorry, Otto.

I was going to do it last night,
but something came up.

Oh, my God, what now?

Again, I'm sorry,
but I can't tell you the details.

Fine.

I'll hand over the MKS project
back to Nugi.

And FYI, I'm not giving you
a warning letter, but...

I suggest that you take
unpaid leave, okay?

I just want you to sort out
your priorities.

Take care of your family.

You can go back to work when you're ready.
I need someone who can focus here.

Okay, Otto.

-Keep in touch, okay?
-Yeah. Thank you.

Astuti.

Excuse me, miss.

Yes, Asep?

Someone's here for you.

Who?

I think it's the guy from last night.

The one that was chased away in the rain.

He said he's an acquaintance
of Mr. Ahmad's.

I told him to wait outside
just to be safe.

Alright, I'll see him.
Will you please come with me?

Sure, miss.

Excuse me.

He's there, miss.

Can I help you with something?

Are you Ahmad's daughter?

Are you?

Yes, and you are?

I'm Ridho, his acquaintance.

Sorry, but what business
do you have with my father?

I have no business with you,
that's for sure.

My business is with Ahmad.

Hey!

What were you doing?

-What are you trying to do?
-Have mercy, sir.

Please, sir?

Darn you!

Sir?

Where is he? Is he inside?

Ahmad!

-Ahmad, come out!
-My father is dead.

When?

Last week.

Sir, have mercy on me.

-Sir...
-Darn you!

Sir, have mercy on me.

This is all because of you, right?

-Please, sir!
-It was all because of you.

Get up!

-Take this!
-Sir!

Sir...

You're trying to put a curse on my mom!

-Admit it!
-It hurts...

Now what business do you have
with my late father?

Admit it!

-You're trying to harm all of us!
-Harun? Miss, it's Harun.

-Harun!
-Die, you jerk!

-Hold on.
-You're trying to harm us!

Admit it!

-Sir, stop it!
-No! He tried to hurt Mom!

-Admit it!
-Wisnu, stop!

-Wisnu, enough! Stop it!
-He tried to hurt Mom!

Are you nuts? He could die!

You want proof? Look at this hands!

He slit his own hand
and smeared the blood there!

Where?

There's nothing!

-It was here! I saw it myself!
-Wisnu, enough with this nonsense!

-My goodness.
-I'm so sorry, Harun. I'm so sorry.

-Asep, please take him to the hospital.
-Yes, miss. Come on.

It was...

It was here...

-It was here...
-Shut your mouth.

-It was...
-What is this?

-I swear it was there.
-Go upstairs. Now.

Mr. Ridho?

Mr. Ridho?

He didn't tell you what he wanted?

No.

But he was shocked when I told him
that Dad passed away.

Shocked and scared.

You said, you found something?

Here.

And this...

Muhammad Ridho.
He's neither an employee nor family.

But Dad had been transferring money
to him every month.

See?

But what for?

I suspect he's been blackmailing my dad,
and most likely Mr. Ahmad, too.

Do you think he has something to do
with our parents' past?

Wait.

That's him.

The man from earlier?

I think I saw a copy of his ID
in Dad's files.

We have to go see this guy.

I'm sure he knows something
about our fathers' deaths.

But I think I need to stay home for now.

Mom hasn't fully recovered.

Wisnu was beating up Harun today.

How come?

He accused Harun of casting curses to Mom.

Do you need me to stay here for you?

It's okay.

You're okay with me meeting Mr. Ridho
by myself?

Yeah.

One of us has to make a move...

and get new information.

That'll be 23,000 rupiahs. Anything else?

This too.

Are you done checking out?

You got a problem if I'm not?

Idiots.

Let's go, that's Ridho!

-I'm so sorry, sir.
-Apologize to my daughter.

Yes, sir.

-I'm so sorry, miss.
-We're so sorry.

We're really sorry.

Fools.

Those darn imbeciles.

-You got the store messed up.
-It's fine, I'll take care of it.

-Thanks, Dad.
-No worries.

Praises to God, you're getting
so much better at reciting the Quran.

Dad?

You've been coughing for two weeks.
Let's go to the doctor tomorrow.

No need. It'll be fine soon.

Atik.

Be patient, okay?

I'm trying to get more money
to pay for your college tuition fee again.

Yes, Dad. I understand.

I just have to finish my undergrad thesis,

and my professor is kind enough
to give me an extended deadline.

And I also have some money saved up.

It's yours to use.
Your education is my responsibility.

-When did you fix this?
-Are you happy with it?

Of course I am.

As long as you can read
the Quran comfortably. Don't worry.

Thanks, Dad.

-Hello? Excuse me.
-See who it is.

Yes?

Excuse me, can I speak with Mr. Ridho?

Dad?

Who is it?

Good evening, sir.

Yes?

What is it?

I'm Esa Prasetyo, Bondan's son.

Here's my card.

What do you want?

I wanted to tell you that...

What? What is it?

I wanted to tell you
that my father passed away recently.

And that he died unnaturally.

I checked his bank account and I saw
that he sent you money on a regular basis.

If you don't mind me asking,
what was it for?

Why do you want to know?

He died unnaturally and it's bothering me.

I need to gather any information
to make sense of it.

Leave.

-Please tell me, sir.
-Leave!

-Leave and never bother me again!
-Please tell me, sir, I need to know.

-Leave and don't come back here!
-Please, sir, I just need...

Darn you.

SODIKIN ALLEYWAY

Hey, wait up!

Wait!

I'm Atik, Ridho's daughter.
Can I talk to you for a second?

My father and his friend died
almost around the same time.

They both died in such unnatural ways.

Unnatural?

I don't even know how to explain it.

So I've been tracking down clues,
and one of it led to your father.

I went to him because I found
on my father's bank statement

that he had been sending money regularly
to an account named Muhammad Ridho.

My father did work for your father.

Atik.

I too work in my father's company.

I'm at the office almost daily,

but I never knew of an employee
whose name is Muhammad Ridho.

Or even saw your father at the office,
not once.

But he told me that he works
for a man named Bondan.

Did he say what kind of job?

Every time I ask him, he doesn't answer.

Hold on.

Yes, Dad?

Yeah, I just went outside.

Yes, I'll be home soon.

Sorry, but I have to go back.

Okay.

Can I have your number?

Here you go.

I'll text you my number.

Thank you, I'll be going, then.

Okay.

Wulan. What are you doing?

-Wulan, please stop.
-Shut up. Where is it?

You flushed it all already!

-Please stop!
-This must be Rika's doing.

Stop assuming things!

-Wulan!
-Go away!

You're not Dad, stop telling me
what to do, I'm not a kid!

Darn you. Get out!

-Get out.
-Adults don't do this stuff.

-Give me your phone!
-No!

-Give me!
-No! Get out!

Give it to me!

-See what you did? No!
-Give me your phone!

What's going on?

Enough!

Enough.

Enough.

Let the frame be broken,

but not our family.

I don't want to lose you.

I'm here.
I'm not going anywhere, sweetheart.

It's okay, let it all out.

Let go.

I understand.

Even though we're family,
we don't always see eye to eye.

But whatever happens...

Whatever happens,

we have to be strong.

We have to be strong and stick together.

That's all I ask of you.

-Atik, come have breakfast.
-Yes, Dad.

I prepared some rice here.

Okay.

Dad?

Was the guy from last night
the son of Mr. Bondan, your boss?

He got the wrong address.

That's why I told him to leave.

So, do you or do you not work
for Mr. Bondan?

Come on, Atik.

I told you to stop asking such questions.

Okay?

Eat slowly, Dad.

Have some drink.

Dad?

Let's take you to the doctor.

-No need.
-Dad.

I'm okay.

Now just go to work.
Take the rice with you.

I'm fine.

-Are you sure?
-Take the rice with you, okay?

Alright, then. I'm off, Dad.

-Bye.
-Be careful on your way there.

Strangely, he tells his daughter
that he works for Dad.

I think it'll be easier to get info
from his daughter.

Yes, I notice she's worried
about her father.

But why, I don't know.
I'll try talking to her again.

-We already exchanged phone numbers.
-Okay.

-If anything comes up, just let me know.
-Yeah, thanks.

What is it, Wulan?

Why did you spill it?

Nothing, I...

-I was just...
-Do you need help?

It's okay, I just knocked it over.

Here, let me.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Hey!

Hey!

What are you doing in Mom's room?

What are you trying to do?

Darn you!

Astuti.

Die!

Wisnu?

-Wisnu...
-Die, you jerk!

Wisnu!

Are you out of your mind?
You tried to strangle me!

Wulan...

Wulan...

I swear I saw Harun.

It was Harun.

Miss.

I'm sorry for what happened.

I don't want to make a big deal out of it.

Asep...

It's okay, Harun, I understand.

On behalf of the family,
especially my brother, I truly apologize.

It's okay.

Hopefully you can forgive Mr. Wisnu.

Try to forget that it ever happened.
Let's leave it behind us, okay?

Yeah, it's alright.

I understand.
Mr. Wisnu has just lost his father.

It's normal to be upset.

This is for you.

And also to pay
for the doctor and medication.

-I didn't mean to bother you.
-No, it's okay.

I brought madam's favorite flowers.

May I ask you to give it to her?

Thank you, Harun. I'm sure she'll love it.

-If you'll excuse me, miss.
-I'll see him off.

Hey, what the heck are you doing?

I'll get you!

Hey.

Hey!

Harun! Come out!

Harun!

Wisnu?

-Harun!
-What are you looking for?

-Harun!
-Harun?

Yeah!

-What's with Harun?
-He left something in here!

-What is it?
-What is wrong with you?

I saw Harun put rotten flowers here.

There must be a knot in it!

How would he do that? He hasn't come
to work since you beat him up!

Enough!

-But I saw him.
-Enough, you two!

Ahmad?

Make it stop...

Mom?

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

-Atik.
-Uncle Manto. Why don't you come by?

Maybe later.
I need to take a shower, I'm all sweaty.

Hey, did the guy who ran you over
take responsibility?

Of course, I just threatened him a little,
and he got scared.

And...

He gave me money.

Of course he's scared of you,
you look like a thug.

Alright, I'll go take a shower first.

-Okay.
-Bye, Atik.

Atik, go take a shower too.

Yes, Dad.

What are you doing
showering the flowers but not yourself?
