EAST JAVA 1997

May you live a long and happy life.

Happy live.

Happy live.

You shouldn't have.

Blow out the candles.

Yay.

- Happy birthday, Sabdo.

- Thank you, Intan.

- Congrats, Sabdo.

- Thank you, Erna.

- Hang on, I'll get you a drink.

- I can't stay long.

Wait here.

I haven't packed my stuff yet.

What time are you leaving?

The bus leaves from school tonight, Intan.

So we'll arrive in Jogja tomorrow morning.

Must be fun,

going on a study tour to Jogja.

It's not fun if you're not there.

Sabdo won't be there either.

Here's the textbook

you asked me to get you.

- Thank you, Erna.

- You're welcome.

- All right, I'll see you later.

- Bye.

Intan, don't you want to follow

in Marni's footsteps?

You'll be 17 next year.

No way. I want to finish high school.

Then I'll go to college.

Get a good job.

Keep dreaming.

All right, I'm off.

- Okay.

- Sabdo.

- Happy birthday.

- Thanks.

- Take care, Erna.

- Okay!

Just admit it.

Tell Erna that you like her.

What are you talking about?

Don't you dare say anything to her.

What?

Here you go. It's Dad's.

Happy birthday, Sabdo.

Wait, wasn't this broken?

It's working.

Where'd you get the money?

I saved up.

It looks good on you. Perfect for

- A proposal?

- Why a proposal?

- I mean, for interviews.

- Exactly.

This is insane.

Who did this?

Who's responsible for this?

Hey, come out!

Who did this?

Who did this?

Show yourself!

Who's responsible for this?

Sabdo

Sabdo!

Sabdo!

Intan.

Sabdo!

Intan?

- Sabdo!

- Intan.

- Intan!

- Sabdo!

Intan!

- Intan!

- Sabdo!

Sabdo!

- Excuse me.

- Can I help you?

- Is this Mr. Kondoto's house?

- Yes, it was, sir.

Where is Mr. Kondoto now?

He passed away a long time ago.

Sorry, who are you?

I'm Arjo. Arjo Kuncoro.

I'm Kondoto's older brother.

Those are his children.

They've just been through a tragedy.

Sabdo.

Sabdo, come here.

There's someone here for you.

This is a photo of me with Kondoto

when we were young.

I never thought Kondoto would be gone.

Yes, it was about three months ago,

Mr. Arjo.

Just call me Uncle.

Yes, Uncle.

I've been looking for my brother

for years.

There's so much I wanted to tell him.

But it's okay. I'm happy now.

I finally get to meet you two.

Kondoto's children.

Where will you stay now?

We don't know, Uncle.

How about you come with me?

Live with us at our house.

We have plenty of rooms.

Besides, it's time for this family

to get back together.

You mean, we'd live with you, Uncle?

Yes, at our house.

The Kuncoro family home.

You'll live there with me and your aunt.

No, Uncle. We don't want to trouble you.

- He's right.

- It's fine.

Your father used to live there too.

Discuss it among yourselves.

- All right.

- Okay?

What do you think?

I don't know.

But why didn't Dad ever mention

that he had a brother?

When Dad was sick and we had no money,

why didn't his family help?

I don't know.

Dad must've had his reasons.

What matters

is that they're watching over us.

We still have family.

Can I help you?

Excuse me, sir, miss.

I'm Sugik. I work for Mr. Arjo.

I see.

Anything you want me to carry?

We don't have anything left, actually.

I'm so sorry.

Maybe it's fate

that you've met Mr. Arjo now.

All right, whenever you're ready,

the car is over there.

Excuse me.

Okay.

Please come in.

- Is the missus in the back?

- Yes, sir.

- Lina, take them to her.

- Yes, sir.

Take them to the missus.

Let me help you, sir.

- It's okay.

- Just let me do my job, sir.

- Sir, miss, please follow me.

- Okay.

Sabdo.

Sabdo. Let's go.

After eating, prepare some drinks.

Yes, ma'am.

These are Kondoto's children.

Sabdo and Intan.

Where's Kondoto?

Sabdo.

Intan.

You're not alone anymore.

You have your Uncle and me.

This is Lina.

She's your helper.

If you need anything, call her.

Now get some rest.

Take a shower.

We've got some clothes ready for you.

Then we'll eat, okay?

Yes, Auntie.

I didn't know you were here.

Excuse me, miss.

Ma'am said to bring you these clothes.

She said to wear these, miss.

Okay. Thank you.

Please, eat up.

So, how's your school?

You must be in high school, Intan.

Here's the thing, Uncle.

Since Mom and Dad passed,

I've had to support Intan.

But since they're odd jobs,

nothing sticks.

It's okay.

You don't need to worry about money

or expenses anymore.

I could help find you a school.

Really, Auntie?

Thank you, Auntie, Uncle.

Is that my dad in that picture?

That was your dad

when he was your age, Sabdo.

You look like him.

Don't you think so, Arjo?

Just tonight, Sabdo.

I don't want to sleep alone.

The room

It's too big.

I know.

I know you must be shocked

seeing all this.

So am I.

- But...

- Just close your eyes, Intan.

You'll get used to it.

All right, I'm going to sleep.

- But...

- Go to your room.

- Try to get some sleep.

- Don't close the door.

Where is it?

What is it, Intan?

Look over there. See for yourself.

What am I looking for?

There's no one there.

I swear, something pulled my leg.

I fell to the floor.

You were probably dreaming.

Fine, you can sleep with me then.

Sabdo

I'm still thinking about last night.

It feels like a dream.

Intan, don't overthink it.

You heard it yourself, right?

We need to get used to living here.

Don't you think this house feels creepy?

- Ma'am?

- Auntie?

Ma'am?

Are you all right, ma'am?

Ma'am?

I'm fine.

Are you okay, Auntie?

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Nothing to worry about.

Come on, let's have breakfast.

Sabdo.

Wake up, Sabdo.

Wake up.

Uncle.

Wear this.

What's going on?

There's a ritual you need to perform.

Let's go.

Sabdo.

This ritual must be performed,

then you and your sister will be blessed.

What's that for, Uncle?

To protect you

and our entire family.

Follow my instructions, okay?

Sabdo.

Sugik, tie up the goat.

Slaughter the goat.

Come on, slaughter it.

All men in the Kuncoro family

must be brave.

Come on, don't be afraid.

But, Uncle

Drink the blood.

- Drink it, Sabdo.

- No, Uncle.

Drink the blood.

If you don't,

this ritual will have been for nothing.

Sabdo Kuncoro,

from this moment on,

you are Canguk Songo.

Excuse me, Mr. Sabdo.

Your uncle wants to take you somewhere.

You can shower first.

Your clothes are ready in the closet.

Excuse me.

- Hey, Sabdo.

- Intan.

Looks good, right?

Auntie gave it to me.

Yeah, it suits you.

You look good in it.

What's wrong?

Nothing. I'm okay.

Really?

Yeah, really.

All right, I'll see you later.

- Uncle wants me to go with him.

- Okay.

Whose plantation is this, Uncle?

Soon it'll be ours again.

It used to belong to us.

And in the future,

you'll be the one managing it.

Menur.

This is my nephew, Sabdo.

Kondoto's son.

Remember Kondoto?

- Sabdo.

- Kondoto is my brother.

What brings you here, Arjo?

I want to remind you

of our conversation yesterday.

About my offer.

Excuse us, Sabdo.

Don't worry, Menur.

This plantation

Has already been entrusted to you,

hasn't it?

No need to follow Karsa anymore.

If I accept your offer,

it'll be like stooping to my own filth.

I'd rather not be treated as a servant

for the rest of my life.

Who was that, Uncle?

He used to work for our family.

He was a servant back then.

I see.

Whose house is this, Uncle?

Just follow me.

Good afternoon, everyone.

Arjo.

Why didn't you tell us you were coming?

Sorry, I'm late.

I'm still part of this family, right?

I want to introduce my nephew.

Sabdo Kuncoro.

Kondoto's son.

These people used to work for our family.

I see.

This is Karsa Atmojo.

I knew your father well.

No need to bow, just shake hands.

This is Anggodo Prayogo.

Sir.

Mrs. Pastika Gayatri.

Ma'am.

Sabdo.

Mr. Lingga from the Codro family.

Sir.

All right. Go wait outside.

Yes. Excuse me.

What do you think about my offer?

- Since when?

- Since this morning, sir.

- Sugik.

- Sir.

Who are they?

They're called the Seven Families, sir.

People of the same standing

as Mr. Arjo Kuncoro.

And almost all the businesses in this area

are controlled by them.

- I see. The Seven Families?

- Yes, sir.

So, there are seven of them?

Where are the others?

Maybe they couldn't attend.

All right.

Did you ask to see me?

There's something you need to do.

Bring the goat.

Slaughter that goat.

This is part of your duty.

Slit its throat.

Just trust me.

This is to protect the family.

You can leave.

Clean your wound.

I can't.

Son of a g*n, darn it!

Sugik!

Sugik, come with me.

- What's wrong?

- Come with me.

Come on.

There was someone here.

And some creature.

What's really going on with this house?

Calm down, Mr. Sabdo. It's safe now.

- I'll handle this.

- Wait. Sugik.

Sabdo.

Sabdo?

What happened to your hand?

Nothing.

It's fine.

Intan

Did we make a mistake

By coming here?

Ma'am.

Why haven't you eaten?

Waiting for your Uncle and Auntie?

Come on, eat.

No need to wait for your uncle.

Sabdo, Intan, come on.

Yes, ma'am.

Eat up.

Sabdo.

Don't just stare at the food, eat.

Here you go.

Not tonight, Arjo.

You've been doing this a long time.

No need to force yourself anymore.

Soon we'll have a new Ranum.

You promised

That as long as I'm still strong enough,

you wouldn't touch that girl.

Thank you for keeping me company

last night.

Sure. Do you want me

to stay with you again tonight?

No need. I'll try to sleep alone tonight.

I can't keep having you sleep in my room.

I don't mind.

My job is to accompany you, Miss Intan.

I'll try sleeping alone tonight.

Very well.

Have some water, miss.

What's that mark?

This?

Everyone who works for the Kuncoro family

has this mark.

It means we're part of the family.

I see.

All right, I'll head to the back.

Good night, Miss Intan.

Lina?

What is it, Intan?

There's a hidden room behind this wall.

- Really?

- There's a stairwell going down.

And Auntie is in there.

There's nothing behind it.

I saw an entity assaulting Auntie.

It was

Huge.

Wait.

Did it have horns?

Yes.

There's something wrong with this house.

Let's just run away.

Intan, come on!

It's locked.

Come on, Intan.

Auntie.

Where do you think you're going?

Why aren't you both in bed?

I mean

Auntie

Go to your room.

Look at her.

Come on, let's go.

Come on, Intan.

Wait, let me check if it's open.

sh**t.

Lina.

Lina.

Can you do us a favor?

- Where's the front door key?

- What's it for, sir?

Intan and I have to get out of here.

- Does your uncle know, sir?

- No one needs to know!

Call Sugik.

What's wrong?

- Where's the key?

- Calm down.

Calm down.

Tell me where the key is.

Just give me the key.

Intan?

- Intan?

- Miss Intan?

Intan, wake up!

Intan?

Wake up, Intan.

Intan!

Intan?

Intan.

Intan.

Lina, can you get me water...

Miss, let him go!

Come on, let's go to our room!

You're dead, Canguk Songo.

Intan!

Miss Intan, let him go!

Miss Intan!

Miss Intan, let him go!

Intan!

Intan!

Sugik, open the door!

Sugik, open the door!

Sabdo, what's going on in here?

Uncle, it's Intan.

Intan!

Intan!

- What's wrong with Intan?

- It's Intan, Auntie.

Sugik?

What happened?

Fatih?

Fatih.

Fatih

- Mustakim! Isah!

- Fatih!

Sabdo

- Intan.

- Sabdo

Sabdo

Come on out. Be careful.

Sabdo, what's wrong with me?

I don't know, Intan.

Let's just run away.

Intan

Intan!

Intan!

Intan!

Intan.

Arjo!

Every last Kuncoro must die.

Intan, don't do it!

Intan!

Intan!

Sugik, get the cloth!

Intan, wake up!

Who sent you?

Leave her body.

Leave.

Kuncoro!

Intan, don't do it! Intan, wake up!

Intan, let me go.

Intan!

Everyone must die.

Auntie!

Intan, don't do it.

Auntie, come on, slowly.

Intan, don't do it, I'm begging you.

You're dead, Canguk Songo.

Intan!

Come on!

Canguk Songo!

Sugik.

Does she have to be tied up like this?

Sorry, sir. I'm just following orders.

Canguk Songo!

Intan, I promise,

once you're conscious,

I'll take you away from here.

Wake up, Intan.

Last night,

Lasmini couldn't bear the pain.

She breathed her last.

The ritual will take place tomorrow.

Start the preparations now.

Make sure all loyal family members attend.

All right, you may leave.

Excuse me, sir.

What about Mr. Sabdo?

I'll handle him.

Uncle, what's wrong with Auntie?

Your auntie couldn't bear the pain.

What is this place, Uncle?

Why did you bring Auntie's body down here?

This place is very significant

to our family, Sabdo.

Your aunt loved this family deeply.

That's why she took on the responsibility

as Ranum,

the family's protector.

It's a role

that only a woman of the Kuncoro family

can fulfill.

Protection from what, Uncle?

The Kuncoro family

is like a very tall tree,

battered by winds from all directions.

That's where Ranum's role comes in.

She protects this family

from various supernatural attacks.

Like what happened to Intan last night.

Intan was possessed by a demonic servant

from a family that wants to harm us.

But if Auntie was the protector,

why was Intan attacked?

Because your aunt had become weak.

And the only one

who can replace her as Ranum

is a woman of the Kuncoro family

Intan.

Only Intan can protect this family.

If Ranum is the shield,

Canguk Songo is the sword of our family.

Canguk Songo's blood

is the most powerful force in Java.

You, Sabdo.

That powers rests in your hands.

It's time we took revenge

on those who hurt us.

Revenge against whom, Uncle?

I'll take care of that.

Now sacrifice the goat.

Protect the family.

Sabdo, come here.

Intan!

- Sabdo!

- Intan.

Who sent you?

- Leave!

- Auntie!

Uncle!

Intan, you can't go home!

- Intan, don't.

- Sabdo

Sabdo!

Sabdo!

Intan!

Sabdo!

Sabdo!

Sabdo.

What's wrong with me?

Why am I tied up like this?

Is it really you?

Of course it's me, Sabdo.

Who else would it be?

It feels like a dream.

I was lost in a sugarcane field,

unable to go home.

It was scary.

I could hear your voice.

And Auntie's.

And Uncle's.

Auntie

Where's Auntie?

She's gone.

How did it happen?

Don't worry about that now.

We need to get ready to leave this place.

Canguk Songo.

Intan

Bokolono!

Come with me, sir.

What about Intan?

This is important.

Otherwise Intan won't be safe.

Come on.

Where are we going, Sugik?

We're going to someone

who can fix all this madness.

- Is Mrs. Karsa inside?

- Yes, sir.

Mrs. Karsa.

Get rid of it.

Tamin will help you.

Yes, Mrs. Karsa.

Sabdo.

Remember me?

Yes, I do.

Sorry we have to meet

under such circumstances.

You must have a lot of questions.

Sugik

Sugik is actually my servant.

He was deliberately placed in Arjo's house

to protect you and your sister.

Protect us from what?

From your uncle's depravity.

Your uncle intends for Intan

to be made Ranum, right?

Yes.

Sabdo,

there are conditions

for a woman to become a Ranum.

She must marry

Within the Kuncoro bloodline.

Your uncle.

Arjo.

This is why your father left.

He strongly rejected

the Kuncoro family's perverse tradition.

He didn't want to see Lasmini marry Arjo.

His own sister.

This barbaric tradition

has been going on for hundreds of years.

After he learned of your father's death,

he wanted to seize Canguk Songo

and its Ranum.

On Arjo's orders,

Sugik burned your house,

so that you and your sister

would have no choice.

Hey, who did this?

Who's responsible for this?

Show yourself!

- Sabdo.

- Intan.

Intan.

Go.

Fire!

Fire!

Look at that.

Remember the heart you found

in Arjo's house?

That heart was hers.

Quick!

Come here quickly!

Suci.

Suci!

Suci!

Suci!

Suci!

Suci!

Suci!

Della.

Luckily, my granddaughter Della

and I survived.

Though it cost me

the life of my servant, Suci.

You've met him before, right?

Menur Arya.

This is my nephew, Sabdo.

Kondoto's son.

His family was very loyal to mine.

I entrusted my land to him to manage.

The land that Arjo wants to seize.

But when Menur Arya refused,

Arjo wouldn't accept it.

He sent an entity to gouge out his eyes.

That attack was launched

using your power as Canguk Songo.

This is to protect the family.

Now sacrifice the goat.

If Intan becomes Ranum

She'll be forced to serve that goat demon

her whole life.

Bokolono, your family's demonic servant.

But there's a way

to thwart that barbaric ritual

and save your sister.

An ancient and powerful curse.

It's a spell that can only be cast

once in a lifetime.

Janur Ireng.

But in order to perform it,

we need you, Sabdo.

I don't care about your dispute

with my uncle.

I just want to save my sister.

Sabdo.

Bokolono only obeys

Canguk Songo's commands.

Remember that.

I also do makeup.

Hopefully, the ritual goes smoothly.

Yes.

Intan.

What is this?

Leave!

- Get out!

- Yes, sir.

Damn it!

Intan?

Intan, wake up.

Wake up.

Sabdo.

What ritual is this, Uncle?

- This is for the good of the family.

- What good?

I know this family is barbaric.

Your father was a fool!

He was offered the world

and he refused it.

Just like you.

But it's fine.

Soon a new Canguk Songo will be born

from my blood and your sister's womb.

Your aunt couldn't handle it anymore

and had to be replaced by your sister.

b*stard!

That's right, get angry!

Your anger protects our family.

Codro and I have made arrangements.

But Anggodo backed out.

It's incomplete without four of us,

which means this Janur Ireng...

Will backfire.

I know the risk.

That's precisely why

I want to do it, Karsa.

Arjo must be stopped.

Otherwise,

he'll slaughter us all.

Thank you.

Lidya.

Forgive me.

Old friend.

Intan.

Intan!

Intan!

Arjo Kuncoro.

All her life,

Lasmini has been our protector.

I'm sure

she wouldn't want this family

to go without a protector for too long.

Therefore

On this historic day,

I will introduce a new Ranum.

Our shield.

Sugik.

Sugik!

- Sir.

- Help us.

Three of the seven families

have agreed to perform Janur Ireng.

We're just waiting for your approval.

Janur Ireng must be completed soon.

Otherwise Intan and Arjo's marriage

will take place shortly.

Spill your blood here, sir.

Spill fresh blood,

and focus on your intentions

on destroying Arjo Kuncoro

and his followers.

Come on.

Hurry.

Come on.

Damn it.

You have to focus, sir.

Sir

What happened?

What's wrong with him?

What happened?

Janur Ireng!

Sabdo?

- Help me, please!

- Intan.

Sugik, help Intan.

Hang in there, Intan.

What's wrong?

My work here is done.

Sugik, help untie Intan!

- Sugik!

- Sabdo!

- Intan.

- Sabdo, help me!

- Intan. Sugik!

- Sabdo!

Intan!

Intan!

- Intan, hang on!

- Sabdo!

- Hang on.

- Help me.

Intan

Intan!

Leave!

Hey, leave!

Leave!

Leave.

Intan.

Sabdo

Come on, Intan.

Look out.

This way.

Sabdo!

You think you're better than me, Sabdo?

No. After this,

your life will be more miserable.

Come on, Intan. Let's go.

- This way.

- Wait.

What's happening?

Intan.

What's wrong with me?

I don't know.

Intan

Intan, come on,

we have to get out of here.

Come on.

sh*t.

I don't want to die, Sabdo.

You won't die. Never.

Why is my sister affected too?

Thank you, Sabdo.

There's something

I didn't tell you last night.

The Janur Ireng curse

will affect the entire Kuncoro family

except for the Canguk Songo.

Which is you, Sabdo.

You see her, Sabdo?

That thing

That's what I saw in the sugarcane field.

This is Sengarturih.

My family's demonic servant.

The one I sent to possess your sister.

Intan.

Sabdo!

Help her.

Intan

- Intan?

- Sabdo

Yes, Intan.

Intan.

Intan!

I've caused you trouble.

No, you haven't caused trouble at all.

But I did.

Intan

Intan.

Intan.

Intan, wake up.

Intan, wake up.

How does it feel

to have k*lled your own sister, Sabdo?

Intan's death was inevitable.

Damn you!

- I'll k*ll you!

- Enough, sir.

I can't let a single Kuncoro survive.

Are you awake, Sabdo?

You

You

She betrayed you. I'm not like her, Sabdo.

Intan?

Intan is already

at her final resting place.

Sabdo

- Erna?

- Sabdo?

- Erna

- Oh, God!

Oh, my God!

Intan is dead, Erna.

I know.

Don't worry, Sabdo.

You will get your revenge soon.

I'll teach you how to master Sewu Dino.

EAST JAVA

Grandma?

Grandma?

Grandma!

Atmojo!
