01x05 - The Uninvited Guests

[bunniefuu]

I saw something in your room.

-What did you see?
-Maggots.

Will you marry me?

When will you stop being in denial?

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

It's written you got married in '98.
I was three years old then.

How could nails come out of his throat?

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?

None of your business!

Don't just stand there! Go get the nurse!

Dad died because of you!

I will get them all.

What is it, honey?

I'm just thinking...

is it safe for us to keep meeting here?

It's safer here than in a hotel.

Okay?

I'm always afraid...

someone will walk in on us and tell Rima.

Well, sooner or later,
Rima will know anyway.

I'm just regretting the fact
that my biggest investor

is Rima's best friend.

How about this?

Once he signs the investment contract,
I'll file for divorce, okay?

What?

Are you still not sure if you want
to spend the rest of your life with me?

That's not true.

I am sure.

-Hold on...
-Excuse me, sir.

-Coming.
-Who's that?

Come in.

Yes, San?

Excuse me, sir. May I go home?

Sure, you can go. I'll lock up the office.

Leave the keys here.

-Yes, sir.
-Good.

-Here you go, sir.
-Yes, thank you.

-Thank you, sir.
-Yeah.

That gave me a heart attack.

I know.

Now that you have the keys,

that means we still have
plenty of time, right?

What's happening?

Mom?

What are you doing?

With this, those c*ck
won't bother me anymore.

Mom, what are you doing?

-Wulan, let me go!
-Why are you using acetone?

This is pointless!

Mom, stop!

Mom!

Mom, stop it.

Mom, stop!

Mom, please!

A VISIT

Mom's asleep. I gave her four pills.

What about the c*ck?

I cleaned it all up,
and I'm throwing them away.

I can't stop thinking
about what just happened.

It doesn't make any sense.

You can never use logic
in this kind of matter.

This whole thing doesn't make sense.

But this is really happening.

And the only way to find a way out
is to believe.

Let's take another look at the video
you showed me the other day.

-Right.
-We might find more clues there.

So, my parents and your dad
used to work in the same company.

All right.

Congrats.

But what I find strange is that

Mom and Dad had known each other
when he was still married to Aunty Rima.

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

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

Even if that's the case,

why now?

Why don't we ask her directly?

No way, Esa.

I'm not paying someone a visit
just to accuse them of harming my family.

Especially based
on such illogical reasons.

No, we won't be accusing her.

We'll just ask her
what really happened 20 years ago.

That's it.

He's right. We just need
more information about Mom and Dad's past.

Reno's here.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

-Miss.
-Thank you, Asep. See you tomorrow.

We're not here to hurt you.

We're here to help you.

I want to explain

why we did the things we did.

It all started
at the funeral of Reno's father.

I saw a dark being

lurking around your father, Mr. Ahmad.

Wulan, wait. Just listen to me.

I know my behavior has scared you lately.

I shouldn't have done any of it.

But I'm here now with no other intention

than to help you.

Give Mr. Harna a chance.

If he fails, that'll be it.

I promise you won't have to deal
with me ever again.

Let's listen to what they have to say.

We've got nothing to lose.

Please?

Fine.

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

It's a vessel for black magic
cast by the grudging people.

For them to launch an attack,

the knot needs to be planted
near the target.

Did you ever hear any loud thud
on the roof?

We did.

That's when a jinn dropped a knot.

But last night, I saw you plant something
outside this house. Was it a knot?

That was a protective amulet
to repel the curse.

Hold this.

What kind of ball is this?

It's just a regular ball.

What makes it special
is the person who will drop it,

and that is you.

Alright.

Now, concentrate.

Listen.

When I tell you to drop the ball,

you drop it.

Yes, sir.

Concentrate.

Now.

The knot is behind this picture.

-Here?
-Yes.

Right here.

Okay, I opened it up.

Let me take it out.

What is that?

Mr. Harna?

Are you okay?

sh**t!

What's all this commotion?

Mom?

Even though she looks better,

we still have work to do.

What do you mean?

Whoever sent this knot is still out there.

I want to use the remaining of this knot
to track down the shaman.

What do you say, Wulan?

Wulan?

Right. You can take it with you.

Thank you. I'm off, then.

Bye, Wulan.

-I'll see you out.
-Okay.

Sorry about the other day.

No worries. I'd do the same.

I'm sorry about last night.

Anyway, Mr. Harna is looking
for the source of the curse.

-It looks complicated.
-Thank you, Doctor.

Well, I've got to go now.

Excuse us, ma'am.

How is she?

Her blood pressure is a bit high,

but other than that,
she's physically fine.

I suspect this to be psychological.

How about...

the wounds on her head?

I took a look at them,
and there is nothing to worry about.

They'll heal.

I'll still prescribe her
some oral medications.

She can stop taking them
once she's better.

-Okay.
-Alright.

-I hope she gets better soon.
-Thanks, Doctor.

Thank you, nurse.

-Yes, Otto?
-Wulan! You must be having your coffee.

You should cut it down.

-Are you at the office already?
-Yes, I just got here.

Guess who we had our credential
meeting with yesterday?

Who?

Willem Maksudi.

Of MKS Group?

Yep.

Wow.

-And how did it go?
-Of course it was good.

What were you doing in Mom's room?

I just put a vase of flowers, sir.

Flowers?

Yes.

What flowers?

Here.

Why would you give
these ugly flowers to Mom?

What's wrong, sir?

Nothing.

Throw this away.

Yes, sir.

Fine, I'll work on the analysis.

Alright, bye.

Wulan.

Just now, I saw...

Wulan?

Somebody's hungry.

This...

This is so good.

How can it be this good?

Do you want some?

No, I'm okay.

-This one's actually yours.
-It's okay.

-Let me order another one for you.
-No, it's okay. You can have it.

It's so good!

I swear.

BUSINESS COMPETITIONS AND GRUDGES

MYSTERIES AND ROMANCE:

WHEN A HEART BREAKS,
BLACK MAGIC STEPS IN

WHEN A HEART BREAKS,
BLACK MAGIC STEPS IN

Hey, sorry.

I just can't stop thinking about it.

Can you come with me
to Aunty Rima's house tomorrow?

Tomorrow? Sure.

What time?

Maybe 10:00 a.m.

I see.

I actually have some errands to run,
but I can reschedule them.

I'll pick you up tomorrow at 10:00, okay?

Okay.

How was your sleep?

Was it good?

It was alright.

And you?

Right after your call,
I went back to work.

I thought you said you didn't want
to go to Aunty Rima.

What made you change your mind?

About the other day...

I may not be able to understand
how that thing got inside my house's wall.

But I can, at least...

hope to get a logical answer
from Aunty Rima

on why my parents lied
about their marriage.

What I'm about to do now
is leave my physical body.

I will send my qareen jinn
to where the knot came from.

Don't be alarmed if I lose consciousness.

It means my qareen
has started the journey.

Can I come along?

You better not.

Why?

It's too dangerous.

Please?

I have to come along. I need to know
exactly what this is all about.

For Wulan's sake.

Alright, then.

Sit down there.

Is that the wrap of the knot
from Wulan's house?

-Take this.
-Okay.

Close your fist.

Clench it tightly.

Don't let it go.

Yes.

Close your eyes.

Relax your mind.

Shut down all of your senses.

Reno.

I know the shaman's location.

We have to let Wulan know
as soon as possible.

Yes, sir.

There is an increasing urgency
for the government of Banyuwangi

to implement a curfew.

-It's getting worse over there.
-More so after the body count

of dead victims rose to 99 lives.

Hey, why should we be afraid?

I'm a businessman, not a shaman.

Should we consult Dr. Asrul first?

No need, honey.

The chemo is showing good results.

He's optimistic that my cancer will remit.

So if you can't come with me next week,
I don't mind.

But still...

You've been working hard
to build your business for over a year.

They would need you there.

After all, it's for our future.

Mrs. Rima? Please, come in.

Okay.

-I'm going in.
-Good luck.

Thank you.

Are you sure it's the right house?

It should be. It was house number 14
by the corner.

I remember
from when I was dropping Dad off here.

Well, if the number's correct,
that is the house.

Who is that?

Well, let's just go there.

Hello?

Aunty Rima?

What is she doing?

Ouch.

Esa...

Esa?

Esa!

Esa!

Esa...

Esa!

Esa!

Aunty Rima, help!

Esa!

Esa!

Darko, stop!

Aunty Rima!

Darko!

Esa, are you okay?

Come on, let's get you treated.

I'm sorry.

This must hurt.

You two make a good couple.

We're not...

Esa is Mr. Bondan's son.
Maybe you know him.

Bondan?

Oh, I know him.

He used to be your father's colleague.

How is he doing?

Ma'am, I'll get going.

Please, Mr. Anam.

Next week at the same time.
Also, please don't exhaust yourself.

Let me know if you need anything.

-Okay?
-Sure.

If you'll excuse me.
May peace be upon you.

-May peace be upon you.
-May peace be upon you.

So, how is Bondan doing?

He passed away.

I'm so sorry. I didn't know.

It's okay.

The last thing I remember...

both your fathers worked
in the same company in Banyuwangi.

Aunty, I'm sorry to ask this.

But the man from before,
how long has he been treating you?

It was Mr. Anam. Just recently,
hasn't even been a month.

I don't know what I would do without him.

Because Wulan's late father
had stopped helping me.

Wulan, I'm sorry.

I know what you're going to say.

And he wasn't all to blame.

He had sent all the money
that was my right,

and I used it to pay off debts.

Who would've known
the cancer would reappear?

I'm also sorry
for coming to see you at work.

It's okay, Aunty.

Anyway, we're here to clarify something.

And I just wanted to ask you...

Before my parents got married,

what exactly happened?

I don't know what your parents told you...

but one thing for sure,

my marriage with your father
started crumbling down...

when I was diagnosed with cancer...

and your father had to move to Banyuwangi
to build his business with Bondan.

That's where he met your mother.

When he was divorcing me,

he said that your mother
was his true love.

I was terribly hurt.

But looking at you now,

I understand completely.

I guess your father was right
that she was his true love after all.

I'm so sorry, Wulan.

I couldn't come to his funeral.

I was sick at the time.

I know...

that your father's death made no sense.

I really want to help you,

but what can I do?

I forgave your father long ago.

For the rest of my life...

I don't want to live with a grudge.

I just want to get by in peace.

That's all.

I feel bad for her.

I don't know her too well, but...

I'm sure she was telling the truth.

I think so too.

Now, where else should we look?

Who else should we go to?

Let's take you to the hospital.

No, it's okay.

I'll be okay.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Reno left so many missed calls.

What is it?

He wants to see us, he said it's urgent.

-Sir...
-They know.

We left a trace.

A trace?

What's wrong?

Mr. Harna?

Mr. Harna?

Mr. Harna!

What's wrong?

Mr. Harna!

Sir!

Sir?

Mr. Harna, I can't move.

Don't fight it.

Help me.

Don't be scared.
Or it will get more powerful.
