[bunniefuu]

- Enough, Yah.

- Please. No! Don't. Please, Dad!

- Please!

- Let go, Yah!

[shouts]

[woman shouts]

[male officer 1] Take him.

Oh my God, Raja!

[male soldier] Stop!

- [g*n clicks]

- [woman screams]

[Dasiyah] Raja!

- [g*n fires]

- [gasps]

[crying]

I'm sorry. Please forgive me, Jeng Yah.

[Purwanti] Dear.

Raja.

I'm Purwanti,

your wife.

I'm not going anywhere. I promise.

I'll always stay with you.

It's going to be okay.

- You had a nightmare. That's all.

- [Raja coughs]

Hm?

BASED ON NOVEL BY RATIH KUMALA

CIGARETTE GIRL

[door opens]

[door closes]

[grunts softly]

[Lebas] Here, drink this.

Thank you, Bas.

[Lebas] You're welcome.

What did the doctor say?

That it's, uh,

one of the first signs of dementia.

[Lebas] I'm so sorry.

I feel like it's my fault.

Don't say that.

How could it be your fault?

[Arum] The signs have been there

for a long time.

But they're just getting worse by the day

and there's nothing we can do.

[paper rustling]

[door clanks]

I never imagined it to be what happened

to my mother's family

and my grandfather, you know?

And I'm not sure why my mother would keep

something like that hidden from me.

I'm very confused right now.

Why did she have to conceal information

about events involving my family?

I learned about it in school.

I'm aware of the massacres

that occurred in 1965.

I'm familiar with every detail

of what happened that year.

Even though I had no idea

my family had been harmed.

Well, maybe that's the reason

why my mother became

traumatized.

[solemn music playing]

Well, I mean, even to this day

there's still a lot of mysteries

around them, right?

Even for the people who were involved.

So it's only natural

that your mother

would have kept quiet about it.

It must be very hard

for so many years to

you know,

live in that past.

[solemn music continues playing]

Well, in spite of

everything that my mom

went through, Lebas,

she still raised me

to the best of her ability,

so that I would never ever

lack anything at all.

She's the best.

But now, after reading those letters,

I'm gradually unraveling

my family secrets, you know?

Well, of course, I never felt like

I was lacking anything growing up

because I didn't know anything

about her past.

But if I think about it,

I feel sorry

for my aunt's disappointing life.

She almost got married to your father.

But now I'm wondering

why my father ended up

marrying Purwanti instead?

Hold on.

I know that name.

Did you just say

Purwanti? Is that what you just said?

Your mom's Purwanti?

Lebas, are you serious?

Yeah.

My mom's best friend since childhood.

How come you didn't say anything?

What's wrong with you?

Well, I didn't think it was necessary

to mention Mom's name.

I thought you already knew that, Arum.

[Dr. Ratih] Excuse me, Dr. Arum.

Yes, Dr. Ratih?

I need you for a second.

[door opens]

[phone vibrates]

Yes, hello.

[Raja] Bas.

Dad, what's up?

[Raja] Bas.

Did you find her yet?

[Lebas] Not yet.

Dad.

Do you remember

when Jeng Yah was taken away?

I want to hear the full story.

Can you please tell me what happened?

[dramatic music playing]

[male officer 1] Mr. Idroes Moeria!

[Raja] A lot of things happened

M CITY, 1966

before I returned

to Mr. Idroes's residence.

[gate clanking]

[male officer 1] Where is Soeraja?

[loud clanking, rumbling]

[male officer 2] Soeraja!

Where are you taking my father?

My father didn't do anything wrong.

Idroes Moeria and Soeraja's names

are on the list, okay?

Soeraja is not on the list.

Just Idroes Moeria.

Sir.

[male officer 3] I found this, sir.

- Look for more.

- I'm on it.

Is this yours?

Yes or no?

[Raja] I only found out about this

years later.

[loud rattling]

That night

they were actually looking for me.

And it's all because of those Red Kreteks

that I have been working on.

[footsteps stomping]

- [male officer 1] Take him.

- [Dasiyah and Rukayah] Dad!

[male officer 1] Step back!

- [Rukayah] Please! Dad!

- Please don't!

- [Dasiyah] Dad! Let him go!

- [officers clamor]

[shouts]

[wailing]

- [Dasiyah] Dad!

- [male officer 1] Take him!

[women crying]

[Dasiyah] Dad!

[sobbing]

[Raja breathes heavily]

[Dasiyah cries] Dad!

[Raja] Jeng Yah!

- [Dasiyah] Oh, my God! Raja!

- [male soldier 2] Stop!

[g*n clicks]

[g*n fires]

Raja! Raja, get out of here!

[Dasiyah] Run away!

[groans]

[Raja groans]

[Dasiyah] Run away!

Run!

[Raja] At that moment,

I didn't understand what was happening.

Run! Raja, run!

[Raja] I just did

what Jeng Yah asked me to do.

I knew that

- [suspenseful music playing]

- [Raja grunts]

she asked me to save myself first

so that I could save her later.

[grunting]

[groaning]

Jeng Yah?

[solemn music playing]

Mr. Raja.

[faint rattling]

[Raja] Purwanti?

[Purwanti] I'm so glad

you're safe and sound.

Where am I?

Don't worry, you're okay.

We brought you to our home.

Wait, Raja.

Don't move around too much.

Mr. Djagad's house?

Mm-hmm.

Dasiyah?

Her family? Mr. Idroes?

We haven't heard anything from them.

I'm sorry, Raja.

Eat something first.

[dramatic music playing]

[Djagad] It's still too thick.

Look.

- Make them thinner. This part.

- [employee 1] All right, sir.

Idroes is no longer here.

[Djagad] And nobody knows

what happened to the rest of his family.

[glass clinks]

[cigarette rustling]

PROKLAMASI KRETEK CIGARETTE

[Djagad] It's not safe out there, Raja.

And honestly, if I were you,

I wouldn't take any risks at all.

I have to find Dasiyah, sir.

[Djagad] Raja.

[Raja groans]

[Raja breathes heavily]

Just please save your energy.

Come on. Hm?

You'll be a lot safer here. Hmm.

[solemn music playing]

[thunder rumbling]

[Raja] When I recovered my strength,

the only thing that I wanted was

to meet the Idroes family again.

But it turned out

that I was already too late.

Not many survived that tragic night.

[thunder rumbling]

Djagad was one

of the only ones who survived.

[rain rattling]

The only person I knew who did.

[Djagad] Raja, you must understand

that by hiding you here,

I'm putting my life in danger.

We are supposed to trust each other.

You should be glad you're still alive.

My offer remains the same.

Work for me, Raja.

That's not what I want.

I just want Dasiyah to be safe.

Do you believe it was simple

to remove your name from the list?

[thrilling music playing]

Create something

that can compete with this kretek.

GADIS KRETEK CIGARETTE

Can you promise me

that Dasiyah will be safe?

It all depends on you, Raja.

In fact, if you can pull that off,

who knows what can happen?

[cigarette crackles]

Can I start working now?

The faster, the better.

[uplifting music playing]

PROKLAMASI KRETEK CIGARETTE

[Raja groans]

SOEDJAGAD KRETEK FACTORY

How is it?

Not enough.

We need to add some more, Sir.

- I will add more?

- Yeah.

I'll leave then.

[male general 1] Thank you for coming.

- Please send my regards to your mother.

- [Djagad] I will.

If you receive any new information,

please let us know right away.

Okay. I will, sir.

- Indonesia is getting better.

- Definitely.

- Thank you so much, sir.

- [male general 1] All right. Take care.

[Djagad] Thank you.

[knocking on door]

Come in!

[door opens]

Raja!

I've been reviewing the financial reports

of the last few months.

It really improved a lot. [chuckles]

You did a very good job, Raja.

Is there anything that I can do?

Mr. Djagad,

I saw that you're close to that General.

Dasiyah, sir.

I'm going to say it once more.

If you don't want to wind up

like her father,

you should forget about that woman.

Sir, please.

I just want to know Dasiyah's whereabouts.

Please tell the General about this, sir.

Don't get me wrong,

I understand how you feel, Raja.

But this is not the way.

Trust me on that.

The cost of your request

is exceedingly high.

I have kept my word, haven't I?

The sales have increased.

Just like you wished.

[Djagad] But you haven't given me

what I asked you.

[lighter clicks]

Mr. Trisno and I have already given you

various flavor options.

But none of them rivals this one.

If I give you the flavor you want,

will you be able to promise me

to give me what I want?

If it means getting what I really want,

I would absolutely do anything

in my power.

What about you?

[tense music playing]

- [man] I already warned you.

- [g*n clicks]

There are a lot of things you don't know.

[Raja] You don't have any business here.

And you don't have

any business here either.

This is my family's house.

If they truly are members of your family,

why haven't you tried to track them down

all this time, you b*stard, huh?

I've been looking.

But no one knows their whereabouts.

No one

should know where they are.

Do I make myself clear?

You better give up.

And save your breath for later

when you're being questioned

at headquarters, huh?

[both grunting]

If you want Dasiyah to be happy,

this is not how you do it.

Hm?

Shouldn't a military man like you

know her whereabouts?

Hm?

[Raja] I thought so, yeah.

[grunts]

This is the only way

I'll be able to save Dasiyah.

Don't get involved.

[laughs]

This is it. This is it. Yeah.

The name of Djagad

will spread throughout Java.

Thanks to this fantastic kretek.

Mmm.

If you want that kretek, though

make me your business partner.

We'll split the profits equally.

I must maintain control

to preserve the flavor of the kretek.

Business partner?

Even if you don't become my partner,

you will still have enough money

to endure centuries, Raja.

Mm.

This factory is a family business.

And you're not family.

Anything else?

[solemn music playing]

[door creaks open]

- [Djagad chuckles]

- [door closes]

[soft classical music playing]

This doesn't have a label?

They're being careless!

[Raja] Thank you, Pur.

For taking care of me all this time.

I will always be there for you, Raja.

[Raja] Everybody makes mistakes, Bas.

Including your father.

At first, I thought

I would get a chance

to make amends for all my mistakes

before my children found out.

So that's the reason

why my father ended up marrying my mom

Purwanti.

Bas.

This is, uh

Well, what I'm trying to say is

that it's too

too much for me.

I can't deal with all of this right now.

It's just too sad.

I can't take it anymore.

Yeah.

I know that, Arum.

Well

Listen, Bas, I'm not sure

how to tell you this but I'll try.

It's hard to explain, but hear me out.

I understand your father acted like that

because he was madly in love with my aunt,

but I don't think he should have.

It wasn't the right thing to do.

That was just too much, Bas.

Yeah, I understand, Rum.

[Lebas] I completely understand.

I'm done.

I don't

I don't want to do this.

I can't help you anymore.

What do you mean?

I don't You know, I'm

How can I explain this?

It's hard. I feel like I just

I'm done. That's it. I'm done.

I can't do this anymore, Bas.

Okay.

Okay, no problem.

Thank you.

ROSE WARD

All right.

Uh

Rum.

Can I at least help you and your mother

until she gets discharged

from the hospital?

It's okay.

I have a lot of friends.

I can ask them

to help me take care of her.

Really, I'm gonna be fine.

Goodbye, then.

["Pergi Tanpa Pesan" playing]

[Lebas] Sir.

Could you give me and my father a minute?

Of course, sir. I'll go.

["Pergi Tanpa Pesan" continues playing]

Let me help you.

Do you need anything?

It's okay. I'm fine.

You should rest now.

What's wrong, Lebas?

Nothing.

It's nothing, Mom.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Aren't you the one who told me

not to bring "that" home with me?

["Pergi Tanpa Pesan" playing]

Hey, Mom.

Do you mind if I spend the night with you

before I go to the hospital?

[soft music playing]

[door closes]

Rum.

Hm?

Was that a dream that happened or not?

What are you talking about?

I think I saw a man.

He was smoking a cigarette

outside the house and I spoke with him.

The rest is hazy.

Is it your partner?

As you're aware, Mom, I'm not involved

in any romantic relationship.

He's just my friend if you must know.

But did you have a fight with him?

Why would we have a fight

if we're not together, Mom?

Please, that's enough now.

Let's just sleep, Mom.

Who knows? Maybe he could be good for you.

I said enough.

I just want to be with you,

just the two of us.

I don't want to think of anyone else.

I'm not looking for a boyfriend right now.

I remember

you're always telling me growing up,

that as long as the two of us

can still be together,

as long as we can live in the same house,

just like this,

my world is only with you, Mom.

It's just us two.

Now, let's rest up.

Rum.

I don't believe that, in our world,

it's just the two of us.

It's me and you and other people.

[Arum] Mom?

What is it, Mom?

[soft tense music playing]

What are you looking for?

Mom?

Wait, let me help you.

What are you looking for? Here.

Hold on. Let me help you. Hold on.

It's nothing, Arum.

What? A box? Your purse? Your wallet?

There it is.

It's on the table, your wallet.

Uh. A can.

[Arum] A can?

- Where do you usually keep it?

- A can.

[Arum] Wait.

The drawer

Let me check here. Wait, Mom. Wait.

[drawer rattles]

This, Mom?

My sister.

My sister.

Dasiyah.

[Rukayah] This is

Dasiyah.

- [doctor 1] Hey, Arum.

- [Arum] Hey.

- See you later.

- [Arum] Okay, take care.

- Yeah.

- [Arum] Have you eaten yet?

Yes, I have. Have a good shift.

You're so lucky to go home already.

[Dasiyah] I always felt

like I was a strong woman.

[solemn music playing]

But all of my assumptions disappeared

when the only place that made me feel safe

was torn apart.

And the first person

who embraced me as I am,

was no longer there.

My journey that night

was the longest I'd ever taken.

[door squeaks]

Dad never opened his eyes again.

And we had to go our separate ways

during our arrest.

My days in this place

are only filled with emptiness.

My dream, in which,

I'll reunite with you again someday

is the only thing that keeps me going.

[telephone rings]

[sighs]

Dr. Arum.

Okay. I'll be right there.

I'm coming.

From then on,

it appeared as if

your father felt compelled

to work even harder and more intensely.

[indistinct dialogue]

- [Ragil] Purwanti.

- Mr. Ragil.

M CITY

[Ragil] Congratulations

on your engagement to Raja.

- [Purwanti] Thank you, sir.

- [Ragil] Have fun. Bye.

[exciting music playing]

[Purwanti]

He was always working tirelessly.

He was very different

from the first time I saw him.

The carton contains 200 kreteks

but usually, we sell them in packs of 20.

Are you sure we can sell this?

Absolutely, sir.

'Cause it'll be cheaper

[Purwanti] And I had

my own reason for always supporting him.

[indistinct chattering]

TICKET BOOTH

- How about

- Let's just go home.

Doctor?

[nurse] Thank you, doctor.

[solemn music playing]

[Dasiyah] After two years in that prison

they took me away

with what remained

of my strength and soul.

[coughing]

[car leaving]

[woman crying]

- [woman whimpering]

- [soft tense music playing]

[coughs]

[dramatic music playing]

[Raja] Good evening, Yu Marem.

How are you?

I'm doing fine as you can see, Mr. Raja.

I see you're doing well for yourself.

And happy as well.

I'm sure

Miss Dasiyah is also delighted

to see you this happy, Mr. Raja.

Congratulations on all

of your achievements.

[Marem] Excuse me, miss.

You might have felt or thought

that your father has never been close

to any of his children.

But I also know for sure

that he loves all of you deep inside

and far more than he ever loved me too.

I understand what you're saying, Mom.

It's already late.

I want to rest now, okay?

Mom.

[dramatic music playing]

I love you and I'll always love you.

[beeps]

Mom.

- Sweetheart.

- Mom.

- Mom.

- Sweetheart.

[crying]

I'm so sorry, Mom.

It's not your fault, my love.

It was never your fault.

[footsteps approaching]

[knocking on door]

Uh

I'm glad you're okay.

Yesterday,

I heard that some of the prisoners

were going to be released.

And I was convinced

that Mr. Idroes's house

was the only location in your mind

that you would visit.

Thank you, Seno.

You don't need to worry, Dasiyah.

The most important thing

is that you're fine,

all things considered.

Okay, I'm going to go get ready.

I have to head back to my post now.

[Seno] I'll make sure to come back later.

Thank you, Seno.

Sure. Excuse me.

Ever since that night,

Seno never stopped looking for you,

sweetheart. Never.

If it wasn't for Seno,

well, me and Rukayah

we wouldn't have a place to stay.

But what happened to Raja?

Forget about him, Dasiyah.

[Roemaisa] You should forget

you ever knew him.

[breathes deeply]

We still have an opportunity

to rebuild our lives from scratch.

Let's not waste it.

[coughs]

Hmm

Sister, you were gone

for such a long time.

And it seems

that Raja has already moved on

and forgot about us.

Because Raja

is now about to get married to Purwanti.

[Rukayah crying]

You should eat something.

[Dasiyah] Turns out

freedom was nothing

like I imagined it to be.

I'm still having nightmares

over the horror

I went through in the prison.

WEDDING OF PURWANTI & SOERAJA

But more than that,

the fact that we still can't be together,

even after I've been released,

is what hurts me the most.

Yah.

[coughs]

You've been behaving like this,

sweetheart, for over two weeks now.

All I want for you is to be happy.

That is my sole wish for you.

I only want that.

[water splatters]

[Dasiyah] No matter how hard I tried

I can't get you out of my head.

[soft music playing]

I need to make good on a commitment.

I have a feeling that I need to confirm.

Danu, I thought we agreed

to market our kreteks in Jakarta.

- What's the problem?

- [Danu] We agreed, you're right.

But the thing is, Kretek Satria has made

their move faster than we anticipated.

And I think it's very risky

to local kretek companies like ours

Danu, don't ever refer to Djagad Raja

as a local kretek company again.

[Raja] It's time for us to become

the country's leading kretek manufacturer.

And it all begins in Jakarta.

Understood?

[Danu] Yes, sir.

Now, find out who's Kretek Satria's

tobacco supplier.

[Raja] We'll meet them.

Very well, sir.

Let me know as soon as possible.

[Danu] Yes, sir.

[soft tense music playing]

[Djagad] You've come a long way!

You're not afraid to compete

with big companies like Kretek Satria.

[Djagad laughs]

The time we met, I remember thinking

you were quite the scaredy cat, Raja.

Well, I hope you also still remember

what you had promised me, Mr. Djagad.

Don't forget that I am solely responsible

for your achievement, Raja.

So you have to keep in mind,

I can take it all back in a flash

whenever I feel like it.

[suspenseful music playing]

- Mr. Raja.

- [Raja] Hi.

- Congratulations on your marriage.

- Thanks.

[male general 1] I heard a lot

of good things about you from Mr. Djagad.

It's unfortunate

that we're only now meeting.

- It's an honor to meet you, General.

- [male general 1] Likewise.

Pardon me, General.

Do you recall if Mr. Djagad

ever mentioned to you the name Dasiyah?

Dasiyah?

No, I don't think so.

[tense music playing]

[exhales shakily]

Jeng Yah?

[soft music playing]

Jeng Yah.

[Raja] Jeng Yah, please stop.

I understand you're angry,

but I can explain it all now!

I did all this for you! Believe it or not.

For every second,

I wish there were other ways!

But this was the only way

I can make sure that you'll be safe!

Please understand!

I swear I didn't do all of this

because I stopped loving you, Dasiyah!

["Kala Sang Surya Tenggelam" playing]

Well, if that's true,

if you really still love me, Raja,

will you be able to leave

all of this behind?

Will you risk starting again from scratch

with me right now?

Will you dare?

["Kala Sang Surya Tenggelam"

continues playing]

Dasiyah.

[Dasiyah sobbing]

[male doctor] Dr. Arum.

Yes?

[male doctor] Let me go

to the bathroom first.

You still need to unpack your stuff.

- Right?

- [Arum] Mm.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

[Arum] Bas.

Did I wake you?

Arum?

Mm-hmm.

Where are you right now, Lebas?

[Lebas] Uh, I'm at home in Jakarta.

Did something happen?

No, nothing, I'm fine. Nothing happened.

Come on, Arum. Why did you call me?

Tell me what happened.

I found

I found this photo, Bas.

Photo? A photo of what?

- I I'll come to you.

- Bas, come on.
