Is this what you came for? Here you go.
Be carefuI there.
The rocks are sIippery.
Thank you, Pa.
Why does he want a coin
so earIy in the morning?
Every year on his mothert's death anniversary,
he throws a coin into the water
and saya a prayer for her.
What happened here?
She was singing....
And then, she started coughing...
I..I foIIowed her voice.
Take Mr. Puad to his room and
meet me at my station.
Got scoIded for singing again?
That's OK.
Just sing for me next time.
''To ceIebrate her fifth year
as a professionaI singer,
we have the honor of hosting
Iive on our station...
the sensationaI diva Suzana!
Kids be quiet! I want to hear this.
It is such an honor...
for our radio station
to have Suzana perform Iive here.
She is incredibIe.
Did she have any formaI training?
Soraya, there is a caII for you.
I have to go now.
I Iove your voice.
I feeI much better now.
HeIIo?
What?
Where is mummy?
What's the matter?
I don't feeI weII.
I wanted you to take care of the kids.
Is that OK?
Where is he?
I didn't get a chance to cook dinner.
So Farish got angry. He did it again.
Here in Snake River ViIIage,
a famiIy of three were wiped out
in a freak fire yesterday.
The bodies of a woman of thirty and her
two chiIdren were found at the site.
Their house was reportedIy
struck by Iightning.
After autopsies,
aII three wiII be buried this evening.
Get the car ready.
This news broke hours ago.
You shouId not go to the viIIage.
Things Iike this happen for areason.
What are you saying?
AII this was caused by my susuk?
Suzana...
My whoIe famiIy has been wiped out!
I have no one now.
Suzana! You, don't need anyone.
Everyone worships you.
I have to Ieave. Move away.
You need to cross a river
to get to the viIIage.
You know the taboo about
crossing water during the day.
There is no turning back.
How dare you come here.
Who Iet you in?
What are you saying?
I am her husband.
I have every right to be in here.
Come here son....
Now that her famiIy is here,
you can go.
Sorry, we can onIy
aIIow one visitor now.
I wiII stay with her.
No! I'II take care of my sister.
Sorry. She's in criticaI condition,
with severe internaI bIeeding.
AII right, I wiII be here.
I won't Ieave her aIone with you!
Soraya. CouId you stay tonight
at my pIace and watch the kids?
Aini!?
Don't worry. I'II be fine.
PIease....
Your susuk wiII wear off
from the time you crossed the river.
You wiII soon turn into the creature
you saw yourseIf become.
How soon?
By the time we get back
you wiII have aged tweIve years.
Every hour you Iose six years.
What does it matter?
I am aIready an abomination.
But there is one way out.
Ponder the butterfIy.
The caterpiIIar dies
to Iet the butterfIy Iive.
They are different yet the same.
You mean I'm not yet a butterfIy?
There is hope for you stiII.
As Iong as you are wiIIing
to fuIfiII some tasks.
Do you want to die in the cocoon
or become a butterfIy?
A butterfIy.
Has anybody seen Nurse Noraini?
Quiet! Look at this.
My granddaughter is on TV!
MarceIIa!
She is this year's IdoI. MarceIIa!
Hi...
Hi...
And congratuIations on your win!
Thank you!
Was that your grandfather?
He is a nice man, gives no troubIe.
Oh, you're a nurse from there!
Sorry I didn't recognise you.
I want to say,
I reaIIy appreciate the work
that you do.
Thank you!
I couId never do that job.
I just cant see myseIf in a pIace
fiIIed with oId foIk who...
are waiting to die.
It's so creepy!
But don't misunderstand.
No, that's fine.
I Iove Grandpa.
But my Iife has changed
since I became an IdoI.
I just don't have the time.
How does it feeI to be an IdoI?
Where do you stay?
Oh...Pandan Indah.
So far! WeII, good night.
Dont't kid these days have any shame?
As if we were any different back then.
So embarrassing! It's aII your fauIt.
Won't it be easier
if we had our own pIace?
For sure. For now this is my pIace
and it's no entry for boys.
You're aII messy with Iipstick.
Do I Iook OK?
OK.
See you Iater.
Just got back?
That's right.
Mastura home?
She's in there.
Don't Iet me stop you.
ShameIess. You IittIe wh*re you.
She was getting some tonight.
Wait a minute!
How do you guys know...?
You're crazy!
Crazy, am I?
Who's the crazy one now?
Did you just caII me a wh*re?
Looking for a fight, huh?
Not the piIIows!
My a*s hurts.
Crazy!
I haven't had
this much fun in a Iong time.
ReaIIy!? I guess what you were doing
with KamaI does not count.
Shut up!
Leave her aIone. Shet's exhausted.
PIus you guys need the rest of
your energy to cIean up the room.
So tired! Let's just Ieave
things Iike this.
If you're too tired,
you can skip the Mona and
Rozana concert this Saturday.
I have VIP passes...
Liar! How did you get them?
They were given
by this sIeazy music producer...
who was a patient at the hospitaI.
He wanted me to go with him,
but no way.
You two want to go?
I want!
Then you must do a good job
of cIeaning this up. Easy!
You cIean up. I need a bath.
I can't go! I have ajob
interview on that day.
Satisfied?
You Iike to watch, don't you?
Your senses are sharp, my dear.
No one eIse wouId have noticed.
FeeI different?
I feeI....
Hungry.
Some meat does taste best rare.
Some chicken?
I can't stand chicken. It disgusts me.
Everytime you consume human fIesh...
your power wiII increase.
You wiII be an eternaIIy
youthfuI butterfIy.
How shouId I know?
I don't see him anywhere.
Roger I wiII go to the green room.
I am not going on and that's it.
What kind of a set up
are you running here?
Where the heII is Ijat?
I think he is in the toiIet.
I'II get him.
This is no time to piss.
Want a drink?
Get me a vodka.
No! Gin and tonic.
WeII you know,
we are with the hip crowd.
Hip my hiney.
I'II get an orange juice.
Excuse me. Hi, I'm Yasmin.
Yasmin Yusoff? I'm such a fan of your taIk show.
How nice of you!
You're Lee's guest. I'm sorry,
I never met you before.
Are you a singer?
No, I'm just ...
Did I hear my name?
Wow, Lee, I swear you must have
bionic hearing! Nothing gets pass you.
My ears is what makes me money.
Why you think I am such
a great music producer?
By the way don't beIieve
anything she says about me.
Oh behave!
Hi. Lee's the name, producing's the game.
Oh! You guys don't know each other?
Her pass said she is a guest of yours.
ActuaIIy I came instead of my friend.
She works in the hospitaI.
You remember her? Sasha?
Oh! Yes, Sasha.
HospitaI? What's wrong?
You don't have to be sick
to go to a hospitaI.
I was mereIy at the hospitaI for a charity function...
and I gave out the passes, you know.
Excuse me.
This Sasha, she did not teII you...
why I was at the hospitaI, right?
No, she didn't.
Oh! Good!
So She did not come.
Who did you come with?
With a friend. Here he is.
Enjoys.
Oh my God that is Rozana.
Mighty fine.
Eh! Keep you eyes in the sockets okay.
Who's gawking, me or you?
Soraya right?
I want you to meet Rozana.
This is Soraya.
I don't know if you have met Rozana?
Hi, Haven't met, but am a huge fan.
And I thought you were onIy my fan.
Hi! I'm Rozana.
-Its such a pIeasure.
WeII come on teII us.
What's the story with Lee?
The story?
You know...
Miss Rozana! The show's gonna start in 5!
WeII, I better go.
The show must go on.
I can't wait to hear you sing Ms Rozana!
Don't have to be so formaI!
I'II catch you Iater?
Did you say you work in a hospitaI?
Mona became hystericaI
and fainted in her room.
No one can revive her.
Is it serious?
Soraya is about to be a nurse.
You shouId be abIe to heIp.
Oh I'm not quaIified yet.
You are way more
quaIified than anyone here.
I reaIIy need you ...
TeII the warm up band
to keep it going a IittIe Ionger.
And can you pIease
get me a First Aid kit.
GirIs onIy.
So?
She wiII need some more air.
To ease her breathing.
We'II be out in 5.
Who the heII are you?
What are you doing to me?
What's going on?
Wheret's Effendi?
What's this?
-Water. Drink.
But who the heII are you?
Shet's a nurse.
Lucky for you shet's here.
I don't need a nurse.
I just need...
Who opened my bIouse??
Forgive me.
I was trying to give you some air.
I'm fine. just fine.
You are right, nurse.
I need some air, so can you Ieave now?
I need some space.
Was Effendi here?
You were hearing things.
Maybe itt's time you go see him.
SaIam, I'm Mastura.
I'm here for the interview.
You Iike?
Mastura'-
Yes, thatt's me.
Mastura, right?
Yes. How do you do?
Isn't this better?
Your house is beautifuI.
Warm Iime juice, without much sugar.
Have a seat.
I'm reaIIy gIad you came.
Mas '- Mastura.
I know we did not taIk about your pay,
but I want you to just name the sum.
And my accountant wiII take care of it.
You mean you are hiring me?
Of course!
Can you start tomorrow?
Sure!
Itt's going to be so wonderfuI!
What fun!
Ms Suzana'-
Yes?
Can I go now?
OK.
Thanks.
-You're weIcome.
Thanks.
You are becoming too predictabIe.
You were saying?
I see you have taken in a pet.
My personaI assistant.
You hunger for her.
Itt's nothing Iike that.
You wouId not understand.
She reminds me of happier times.
Shame she doesnt't remember you.
You'II get soaked.
Come, I'II drive you home.
Thank you.
But we're just going back by bike.
Don't be Iike that.
This is the Ieast I can do for you.
Come on.
Do you mind?
She is giving you a ride. Go!
You sure?
Thanks Ms Rozana for the ride.
I saw you in the wings
being so animated.
You were reaIIy enjoying yourseIf.
Oh my God.
This wiII be one of
my most memorabIe nights ever.
The raint's gone.
I saw you Iooking inside Monat's bIouse.
Huh!?
Did you find it odd?
You mean the bumps?
Not bumps my dear. Thatt's susuk!
Susuk?
I know you have heard of it before.
Is that what it Iooks Iike?
That is how hers are Iike, darIing.
Mine are different.
I reaIIy don't know much about it.
Susuk is what makes Mona a diva.
Susuk is what separates
ceIebrities from normaI peopIe.
What we spoke of tonight stays
between us, OK darIing?
You are no smaII fry, my dear.
Tomorrow you wiII see what I mean.
I'II pick you up at eight?
Here you are!
Sit down.
Have a seat.
Het's ready.
Soraya! Soraya!
Where are you?
You Iook Iike you have seen a ghost.
Don't scare me Iike that.
I'm just...
I don't know how to expIain.
Are you okay? Did something happen?
Is it Aini?
No. Shet's OK.
I just came back
from meeting with Rozana.
My God, what happened?
I met her. And'-
Have you guys heard of susuk?
Susuk?
That ridicuIous rituaI
that our ancestors beIieved in?
Inserting goId and
siIver needIes and stuff?
Is that what you saw?
Yes. I saw it with my own eyes.
It was the most amazing thing.
I couIdnt't beIieve it.
Neither can I.
Do peopIe stiII beIieve
in this mumbo jumbo?
You guys, pIease don't teII
anyone about this.
She made me promise.
Why wouId she show you that?
I don't know.
I bet they did not use any anesthetic.
And the needIes are probabIy unhygienic.
This Rozana couId end up in hospitaI!
Thatt's why I hate teIIing
you things, Sasha.
You bIab so much.
Fine, fine. I'm just sorry for you.
You poor thing,
it must have been horribIe.
I wouId have come at a Iater time
if I knew I was disturbing your swim.
Effendi does good work, doesnt't he?
Dont't think witch doctors
are just mumbo jumbo.
Come, we have tea.
This posh area is a bit out
your Ieague, wouIdn't you say?
I was just visiting a friend.
Oh, a friend!
WeII since I'm here,
It'II give you a ride home.
Thanks, I'II just grab a cab.
Come on! Its the Ieast I couId do for my sister-in-Iaw.
Are you drunk?
Now see! I'm being nice
and you say I'm drunk!
Come!
-No!
Come on'-
Why?
I'm just being nice to famiIy.
Farish, stop this.
Get in!
What is going on?
I want you to meet my friend.
This is my IoveIy sister-in-Iaw Soraya.
Where are you taking me?
ChiII out!
Why be so difficuIt, woman.
Does it run in the famiIy?
I want out.....
Shut up!
Or eIse I'II scream.
Where can you run to?
WiII you be aIright?
I didn't know what to do.
But you did know how to scream.
Come...
Don't worry about him.
He is going to just wake up
to a reaI bad headache.
I'm sorry, I don't even
know how to thank you.
No need for that right now.
Goddamnn it!
Suthiya!
Suthiya!
HeIIo, this is Mona.
Where did my raincoat run off to?
Then wheret's the assistant who took it?
I wanna go home!
Incompetent!
Suthiya!
HeIIo?
HeIIo?
Hey, my raincoat!
Shoo!
Shoo!
I'm just so bored with my Iife, Mom.
Everything is routine.
What eIse do you want?
Mom, what do you think
if I want to be... a singer?
A singer! Nonsense.
You aIready have a good job,
soon you'II be a staff nurse.
If you work hard you'II be a matron.
Then you can retire on a pension. Easy.
Why are you taIking about pensions?
Pensions are good.
Who'II take care of you Iater?
I wont't be around forever.
Why do you say that?
Are you feeIing sick?
No. But anything can happen.
What's so great
about being a singer, anyway?
Look at Kak Kiah.
Kak Kiah?
She was a popuIar singer!
WrinkIy oId Kak Kiah?
She wasnt't aIways wrinkIy!
She was a singer
in a traditionaI troupe.
The whoIe country knew her.
Look at her now,
she has to Iive off her sister.
Her sister's the smart one.
She became a teacher and
now has a pension. See?
I think I know why shet's poor.
When she was young, she didnt't use susuk!
Susuk? God have mercy!
Where did you Iearn about that?
Dont't give me a fright.
You must stay away from that,
itt's a big sin.
Go make yourseIf usefuI.
Take down the cIothes.
Yes Sherry...
you know it didn't happen that way.
It'II take you on a weekend getaway.
Yes yes...
I have an important visitor here...
We'II speak again, aII right?
Mr RazIan?
Hmm what can I do you for?
I was given your number from Rozana.
Oh, I hope you are not
simiIarIy incIined with her.
That wouId be such a waste
to aII men... starting with me.
I came here because
I want to be a singer.
Are you sure?
It was an audition!
He was so gross!
Maybe thatt's the way peopIe do things.
If itt's so difficuIt to be a singer,
I might as weII give up.
No way!
You're the onIy one I know with
a dream to become something more.
FoIIow your heart, girI!
HeIIo? Yes...?
Its Aini!
Sis.
Sis?
My God. What's happened?
Where is Iman?
You shouId be carefuI.
He kept caIIing your name.
He said you were an interfering b*tch.
Oh my God. I'm so sorry.
Don't be, sis.
Maybe this is God's way
of sending me a wake up caII.
Come. We have to go before he comes back.
Where can we go?
He'II sureIy Iook for me
at your pIace first thing.
I was suddenIy hungry.
I never reaIized
how hungry I was back then.
But you knew, didnt't you?
From the time you showed me
how you changed copper to goId.
GoId.
You seem to be quite busy today.
The usuaI.
I saw someone Ieave your pIace
before I came in.
I think I've met him.
There are many who have come for susuk.
Like you they want to increase
their power of attraction.
This does not mean
they want the worId to know.
So if I were you I wouId not
be so nosy about them.
How powerfuI is susuk?
There are many IeveIs.
The most powerfuI is probabIy
the imperiaI susuk.
ImperiaI susuk?
Legend says that in ancient days...
it was performed by sorcerers,
not pIain witch doctors.
It was performed onIy for the royaIty.
A type of mysticaI rituaI
that transformed a person...
into a god.
A god?
You want to be a god?
Is it possibIe?
Itt's just a myth, probabIy untrue,
I've never seen anyone do it.
I sureIy cannot perform it.
I am not the Mystic Medium.
The Mystie Medium?
WeIcome to CIub AIchemy.
You Iook mighty fine.
What can I do you for?
What you do best, of course.
Which one?
The music one, what eIse.
Yes, I'm quite good at that, too.
Yes. I need you to work your
magic on me. Make me a singer.
So the bush hides a nightingaIe.
Are you serious?
You know I am.
And how far, are you wiIIing
to go to get such a prize?
AII the way.
Come back here at 9.
I wiII arrange a sIot for you.
See you there tonight, then.
Where are you off to?
Hi, dear.
A show. At a cIub.
You didn't say anything?
Aren't I invited?
I didn't have time.
The producer caIIed me
just this evening.
I think you're making a mistake.
A mistake?
I Iove you KamaI.
But I want you to support me,
not stop me.
I just fear we're growing apart.
Why must it be that way?
Maybe it'II bring us cIoser.
You're crazy.
It's hard to taIk to
you when you're Iike this.
Now I'm crazy?
What eIse do you have to say?
That I'm deIusionaI, a psycho?
Ah...forget it.
It's a waste of time to even taIk to you.
Stop being such a Ioser!
Was I OK just now?
OK but '-
I teII this to most peopIe who want
to make it in the music worId:
You need more than just taIent.
I think I know what you mean.
Good! You need to have
the compIete package.
Rozana toId me about susuk.
Pardon me?
Susuk!
Susuk?
You were taIking about
the whoIe package.
I was trying to say that I understand
itt's not just the singing aIone.
We need to do susuk too.
Do you think I'm that backward?
But'-wait a minute.
I saw you at the witch doctort's pIace.
Dont't you use susuk too?
What!
Okay I think you have
mistaken me with someone eIse.
I dont't beIieve in that crap.
If I were you,
I'd Iearn to keep that mouth shut.
You're such a Ioser!
I thought you were going
to take me swimming.
We can do some dry-swimming.
What is dry-swimming?
Lett's get undressed and It'II show you.
Dreaming of chickens?
Is this some kind of sign?
Now that I'm up, shaII we do it again?
Soraya?
Soraya?
PIease forgive me.
I just cant stand
the thought of Iosing you.
I just don't know how to react to
aII of this. Seeing you Iike this.
Itt's Iike you are a new person.
I just feeI so confused.
You are not the onIy one confused.
I don't want to get in the way
of the things you want.
But I don't want to Iose what we have.
TeII me something KamaI.
What is it that you think we have?
You need to ask?
After six years together?
You think we have nothing?
Oh God!
Sasha!
Sasha!
What happened?
Farish.
He knows...
Why take so Iong?
I've been knocking forever.
You come aIone?
Who came with you?
No one!I am aIone.
Farish! PIease!
-Shut up!
Move back!
So you think you can
hide my famiIy from me?
You've poisoned them!
Now your Iuckt's run out.
Theret's no one to heIp you now.
You two are same!
SaIina. Iman.
Come with Daddy.
Iman. Daddy wont't hurt you.
Iman. It'II say it once.
Come here, my dear.
Ingrates!
Where is he?
I don't know...
Het's gone.
Gone?
Get in the car, dears.
Sis?
Don't worry about me.
I'm just waiting for KamaI to turn up.
Soraya!
There are IimitIess stars
in the heavens.
Some give Iight,
some take the Iight of others.
From the moment I saw you,
Soraya, I knew you were a star
that wiII shine.
I don't understand what...
Soraya...
You can think of me as a servant
who has found his master.
I can give the answers you seek...
when we meet the next time.
But... how do I find you?
When the time is right...
our paths wiII cross again.
Wait!
What happened to Farish?
I am sure het's hanging around somewhere.
Soraya...Sing to me one more time.
PIease, just this once.
I just Iove your voice.
It Iifts my heart.
Soraya!?
What in Godt's name are you doing?
Why am I having so much
troubIe with you?
I... I saw...
Enough!
You can cIock out tonight and think
reaI hard about coming back to work.
I need a nurse! Understand?
That tree. Does it stiII
have the carving on it?
I guess so.
Itt's aIways peacefuI here.
Things don't change.
Soraya you can stay...
Itt's not reaIIy my pIace.
Itt's mom's home.
You come here whenever you want.
Where to?
Nowhere, just seeing
the oId neighbourhood.
In exactIy two days
the stars wiII be in aIignment.
The right conditions
for the transmutation.
You Iive here?
How come I never saw this house before?
I'm sure you never had a drink
Iike this before.
You didn't answer me.
Drink.
This is copper.
Things aIways happen for a reason, Soraya.
AIways remember that.
Who are you?
I am the Mystic Medium.
Such peopIe do not exist.
TeII me Soraya,
do you beIieve your susuk has
brought you the resuIts you wanted?
But with imperiaI susuk...
How is it done?
With imperiaI susuk...
the host submits to the Medium...
just as this copper did.
Once purified it transforms into goId.
GoId!
GoId. It is no Ionger copper.
Now I have answered...
your question of
how you to become a star.
We wiII meet again in two days.
Am I cursed to kiII forever?
There is just one Iast time.
And then you wiII be forever.
The hunger wiII subside...
and you wiII no Ionger need human meat.
AIIow me to present your finaI victim.
Soraya! Soraya!
Soraya!
ActuaIIy we met five years ago.
But you dont't remember.
That tree. Does it stiII
have the carving on it?
She reminds me of happier times.
Shame she doesnt't remember you.
GoId!
GoId.
But in my heart I am stiII Soraya.
Soraya...
Forgive me.
What happens now?
Cant't you...
This is no ordinary susuk.
The taboos are not ordinary, either.
What taboo?
I have to kiII.
Soraya, you are not a kiIIer!
Forgive me.
What's wrong?
Soraya?!
