Ghost in the Cell (2026) Movie Script
AS OF THIS WEEK,
NINE WORKERS HAVE REPORTEDLY DIED.
THE FIRST DEATH TOOK PLACE
ON FEBRUARY 12, 2025
ON THE EDGE OF NEHEA FOREST
BY THE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT
How's it going?
You gonna be long?
Just two more sentences.
Then I'll send it to Mr. Endy, sir.
I told the printer guy to wait.
But his wife started having the baby.
He had to rush to the hospital.
THE NATIVES REPORTED THE CASE
TO THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
If we had ads, I could fill the space.
But we haven't had ads in a long time.
"THIS FOREST ISN'T JUST TREES,
IT'S OUR HOME."
If your article doesn't come in,
we'll have a blank spot.
Done.
I just need to wait
for Mr. Endy's approval.
I made sure that
there won't be any revisions.
It should go straight to print.
Of course you had to be careful.
You're writing about a big company.
Their investors are government officials.
This will make headlines.
They illegally dug up 10,000 hectares
of protected forest for a nickel mine.
No one dares to speak up.
Plus, dozens of workers died
under suspicious circumstances.
It's scary, sir.
And you actually went there?
Yes, sir.
It's a seven-hour drive
from Balikpapan to Nehea Forest.
I've been to Borneo forests before,
but this one was really mysterious.
I can't wait to read your piece.
Best piece I've ever written.
Mr. Endy's going to love it!
That's great!
Hello, sir?
You call this an article?
What are you, an intern?
Get in here, now!
Yes, sir.
Oh no.
I'll be smoking downstairs, Dimas!
Let me know once it's sent to me!
Excuse me, sir.
You went all the way to Borneo,
wasting our money for this?
Writing about homicide
like those trashy online articles?
You're an economics desk reporter!
The illegal mining part is there, sir.
But the workers' deaths are
more compelling
Don't you get that we're going
out of business?!
People still read us
because we have substance!
If our stories are no different
from anyone else's,
why the hell would they subscribe to us?
You've got 20 minutes to revise.
The lede should be, "Illegal Deforestation
of Protected Forest."
"Vice-President's son's company
is involved."
That's it!
Yes, sir.
Idiot!
MY WIFE
Hello?
You know the editor can handle it.
It doesn't have to be you.
I just fired my editor today.
I can't afford to pay them!
If the company can't be saved,
then come home.
Save your marriage!
I built this paper from nothing!
Before I met you!
This paper means a lot more
than our marriage!
Fine. Bye.
Fuck!
Dimas!
Mr. Vijay
Help
MAINTAIN ORDER
Good morning!
Morning, morning, morning!
Today is the same as yesterday,
the same as tomorrow.
As always,
you decide whether your day goes smoothly
or the other way round.
You know the rules.
Obey, and you live in peace.
Disobey, and face the consequences.
The only freedom you have here
is choosing how you want
to spend your day.
Understood?
Understood, understood, understood!
- Everyone's here?
- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!
One missing!
Get down.
I'm sick, sir.
If I stand, my head spins.
Stand up!
Idiot.
He has no religion!
What did you say?
The next hour and a half is
for religious practice.
He has no religion,
so he can rest and recover.
A third of your time here's for religion.
So if you're not religious,
you get a third of the day off?
Religion doesn't force
sick people to pray.
If you think you're smarter than me,
don't fool yourself.
Your brain's tiny compared to mine.
Why so quiet?
Picturing yourself as me?
What would you be doing right now
if you were me?
I definitely wouldn't work in
a shitty place like this.
I work here
because I can!
Come on.
Let him go!
Come on!
Fight back!
Come on now.
Come on!
In here, you're excrement.
So if someone gives a damn, like I do,
just be grateful.
Don't act out.
Believe me!
I'm harsh on you
because that's what you need.
I'm the cure to your diseased hearts.
You're all here
because of your own mistakes.
You have no right to complain.
No right to ask for anything!
Just be quiet and follow the rules.
Now go do your religious activities!
Whether you have a religion or not!
Take him to the cage.
No need to throw it like that.
It won't hurt you to be nice.
What if I spit on it first?
Why did Anggoro pick a fight
with Jefry earlier?
Better than this fucker dying.
I didn't ask Anggoro to help.
He thinks everyone needs his help.
Without him, most of us
wouldn't survive in here.
- Not me. I'm doing just fine.
- Fine getting beaten up?
Anggoro's not even a good fighter.
But people respect him.
It's his looks.
If I were tall and handsome like him,
people would respect me too.
Handsome guys get stepped on too.
Anggoro's got a real leader's spirit.
That's what he gets respect for.
You?
You're still alive only because
others think you can actually see ghosts.
You lied about that?!
You trying to get me killed?
Confess, Six.
You don't want to die a sinner.
- Right.
- Six.
You really don't have religion?
Where will you go when you die?
Six did a mantra when I was sick,
and I got better.
You lied about that too?
But you got better, right?
Fucker.
You're a former professor,
and you buy that nonsense?
You're just fresh meat for the dumb.
But Six has a point, Pendi.
You read books every day,
but you're still dumb like us.
If only you could outsmart Jefry
and show that we have brains too.
I'm sick of hearing him lecture us.
Hey, man.
Where's Anggoro?
He's not here. Go away.
- Please help me, man. I'm fucked.
- It's none of our business, go away!
Without Anggoro's help, I'm dead for sure.
He's in the cage. He can't help you!
Anggoro's not here, Syafiq.
Go away.
Fuckers!
You idiots!
Don't you mess with me!
You think you own this place?!
Nothing is free in this world! Fuck you!
Listen to me!
Throwing food away
while people out there starve to death!
You brainless fuckers!
Lick it! Fucking lick it clean!
You've got visitors.
Tell them to go home.
What am I, your servant?
Tell them yourself.
I feel bad just looking at their faces.
Where's your mother?
It's just me and Didi, Dad.
What are you doing here?
We haven't seen each other in two months.
We missed you.
Mom didn't want to come.
Our neighbor dropped us off
on his way to work.
Your mom must've been busy
working hard for you guys.
No, Dad.
She
We think she's going out
with Mr. Alexander.
Alexander who?
Her coworker at the bakery.
He's been visiting
for the last three months.
At first, Mom kicked him out.
But he kept coming.
And I think she's starting to like him.
We don't want Mom to marry him, Dad.
We don't want a father like him.
Why?
Because
He
He's ugly, Dad.
Even with a name like Alexander.
See, I'm Bibin, and I look okay.
Your mom can't remarry.
We're still married.
Mom said you were supposed
to be out last year,
but you kept getting into fights,
so you're still here.
Dad.
Please don't fight anymore, Dad.
Didi here asks everyone he meets,
"Which prison is your dad in?"
He thinks all dads are in prison.
We look at your photo
every night before bed.
So we won't forget your face.
Oh, almost forgot.
What's this?
So you won't forget our faces.
What are you playing with here?
That's clay.
We can make all kinds of shapes.
Teacher said that liking to make shapes
is a sign of intelligence.
You imagine it in your mind first,
then create it with your hands.
She also said that it teaches us
to live with purpose.
She's right.
Time to go home now.
Okay, Dad.
Please don't get into trouble
anymore, Dad.
I'm sorry.
I brought you a banana.
Bye, Dad!
Bye, my sons.
NO SMOKING
WELCOME
Poor man.
Just about to repent and then got killed.
Have a smoke and calm down.
Hey, this is expensive.
It's haram.
He's not allowed.
Why are you all squatting here
like egg yolks?
What?
Someone was looking for you,
asking for protection.
Who?
Syafiq.
Oh, heard he wants to quit dealing.
Promised his sick mother.
Where's he?
He got stabbed to death.
Don't look.
I feel guilty now.
You helped me this morning
and ended up in solitary,
and you couldn't help Syafiq.
It's not your fault.
Who visited you?
My kids.
What did they say?
To make sure I stay out of trouble
so I can get out in seven months.
And what did you tell them?
Nothing.
What's your plan when you get out?
Nothing.
There's no point.
In this fucked up country, hard work
means nothing. You know that.
What about your kids, then?
Better off with their mother.
My head.
Still not getting better?
He was so noisy last night.
PRISONER TRANSPORT VEHICLE
WARNING - DO NOT APPROACH
THE SAFETY FENCE
Pretty boy!
Pretty boy!
Hey!
You're mine.
Don't give it to anyone else.
I'm gonna split you wide open.
I'll enter you.
Bang you hard.
Make you feel real good.
Smooth meat!
Hey, let me in on the gossip.
Anggoro
This time, better stay out of it.
Out of what?
You're the one killing your own guys.
Not my problem. Why would I interfere?
Fuck you.
I'm sick of
your holier-than-thou attitude.
36 YEARS OLD
Next.
Dimas.
Quickly.
Hold it straight.
25 YEARS OLD
Look here.
Okay, next!
Next!
Okay, pull up your pants.
Pull up your pants.
Dimas Kurniawan.
Yes, sir?
I didn't ask you to sit.
Strip.
Any illegal items on you?
No, sir.
Any drugs?
No, sir.
Pants off.
Pants off.
Look at this.
What's that, Pendi?
So I can talk from a distance,
like the Presidential Guard.
A student gave this to me yesterday.
How are you gonna use that here?
What are you, stupid?
I'll give one to my kid later.
He just needs to come
near the prison to talk to me.
What if you get caught?
I won't!
- Hey!
- What do you mean you won't?!
Take the new guy around.
Show him around.
Go.
- Go ahead.
- You take him.
Now!
- Let's go!
- I need to take a dump.
Good to be old, huh?
Come here!
Hey, man!
- What's your name?
- Dimas.
I'm Irfan.
Okay, listen up.
Don't mess up when the guard
questions you, or I'm screwed.
This yard is the Judgement Field.
It feels like the freest spot,
but be careful.
Most inmates gather here.
Whether you survive or die
depends on who you hang with.
Look there.
Terrorism inmates.
Big ones who blew up buildings,
and small ones whose bombs
never even went off.
But see,
terror against other religions?
Sadly, not a crime.
We call it majority privilege.
Those in front? Celebrities.
Their arrest made huge headlines.
Journalists went crazy,
pushing aside issues that actually matter.
People say it's a diversion.
Me?
I think Indonesians just care more about
celebrities than their own damn lives.
What did I just say?
Huh?
What about thugs?
Thugs don't go to prison, brother.
They join community organizations.
Stay away from that one.
That's Rendra Oh's gang.
A drug lord. Been in here five years.
He's running his meth lab in here.
Yeah, he totally looks like a boss.
That's not him.
That's Rendra.
Don't underestimate his looks.
He's not here for drugs.
He stabbed someone in a club
just because he hated the music.
He never got caught making drugs in here?
Every inmate and officer knows.
Come on, you're in Indonesia, not Norway.
What about you?
Which gang?
You met Pendi earlier.
He used to be a university lecturer.
He tried to expose corruption on campus.
Got framed for theft.
Across from him is Wildan.
He's the most devoted out of all of us.
Super diligent.
Why's he in here?
Claimed he could
double money with prayers.
The sickly one next to him is Six.
Must've been a sixth kid.
You think you're smart?
His mom really wanted a child, and finally
had one with her sixth husband.
- What's he in for?
- He scammed people online.
Made them fall in love,
then ripped them off.
One victim reported him.
Next to him is Anggoro, in for robbery.
His house got seized,
even though he had the certificate.
Turns out, the land mafia
wanted to build a luxury resort there.
Anggoro got pissed off,
robbed the guy, and got caught.
What about you, bro?
We're not bros yet.
I'm in for phone scam.
"Hello, sir?"
"Your son was caught with drugs."
"Do you want to handle it yourself,
or should I?"
So you're a gang of scammers and robbers?
We're not exactly a gang.
But in here, if you're alone,
you'll die faster.
I feel bad for the victims.
You feel bad for the victims?
You think I'm the evil one here?
Let me show you what's evil.
Over there.
Block K. Full of corrupt officials
who love stealing from the people.
Their cells are huge and fancy.
They've got fridges, TVs, AC, and Wi-Fi.
They can even leave whenever they want.
See the guards at the door?
They're inmates paid to protect them.
Block K inmates never set foot
in the Judgment Field. Why?
They go straight to hell.
No need to be judged.
Let's go.
Here's the prayer room.
Huh? Prayer room? Inside a prison?
Must be dark and damp.
See for yourself.
It's called Musholla Al Prakasa.
Over here. There.
See?
You get it?
We might live in a dumpster,
but our praying place must be luxurious,
so that we can feel
the prestige of our community.
It's quite empty?
But it's luxurious.
We also have an art room.
Also fancy?
In this country, art is not prioritized.
Not like government buildings.
Or chic selfie spots.
But at least we have one.
Not like that!
Here, watch me.
Before we start dancing,
we have to warm up first.
That's Novilham.
He teaches art class.
By the way, which cell did you get?
Block C.
Cell number 31.
Oh, damn.
What?
What's with you?
Just showed the new guy around.
I know, the journalist.
He mutilated his boss.
- That kid?
- Yes.
That's what they say.
Hope he survives the night.
Seems like someone's trying
to get him killed.
What cell is he in?
Tokek's cell.
- He's definitely fucked.
- Damn.
My head
I'm gonna chop your head off.
I'm sick of your shit!
Don't be hard on him.
You try sleeping through this!
Every waking hour.
Don't take too long.
Direct order from the boss.
Understood, sir. By tomorrow.
This is a model prison,
so the work's easier.
Handle this right,
and you'll be sitting where I am soon.
Being a deputy minister is nice.
You deal with respectable people,
not those animals in prison.
Yes, sir.
You'll become deputy minister this year,
minister in two years.
No, no. No way, sir.
In five years, I may be working for you.
You joke, sir.
All right, then.
- Please send my regards to the boss.
- Will do.
Thank you, sir.
You heard that?
Yes, sir.
I've arranged everything, sir.
Keep it clean.
This one's not like the rest of the scum.
If he dies,
it'll make headlines.
Understood, sir.
You're dismissed.
What should we do?
What, you think we can just
ask for a transfer?
I gotta tell you something.
You need to be careful.
You'll be in a cell with Tokek.
Looks like a gecko.
I love geckos, so cute.
Not this one, dumb-ass.
He's had the cell to himself for years.
Anyone who rooms with him
ends up killed.
He is Rendra's hitman.
It seems someone higher up
wants you dead. Stay sharp.
Once you're in, find a weapon.
If he comes at you,
fight back with everything. Got it?
It's nighttime,
and you all know the rules.
I don't care if you were a thug
or gangster out there.
In here,
you play by my rules.
So shut your mouths and sleep tight!
Get inside your cells!
Now!
- Where's Tokek?
- I told him to have a drink first.
He's got a job, you idiot!
If he's drunk,
they'll suspect less, right?
I'm doing you and your boss a favor!
Hey. I don't have a boss.
Watch your mouth.
Remember, you're still nothing
but a doormat.
What do we do? He's gonna die!
Fuck.
Dimas.
You wanna get swollen,
or you wanna get blendered?
You're in my bed.
I can't watch.
Gotta carve you up tonight, pretty boy.
But I'm too drunk.
Tomorrow's fine, yeah?
What's wrong with you?
I saw a rat, sir.
Where?
There.
Don't mess with me.
I can't take this anymore.
I'm better off dead
Can't you die quietly?
I can't sleep, damn it!
If you don't have religion,
where will you go when you die?
I'll send him to hell myself.
Shut it.
It hurts
You're not sick anymore?
No, I feel great.
- He turned into Jackie Chan?
- Dude's lost his mind.
Man, I feel like an athlete.
Did he take the wrong meds?
- What a mess.
- A shower would be nice.
- I'll ask for AC later.
- The fan isn't even working.
Vin, come here.
What are you doing over there?
- Vin.
- Oh, shit.
Where's Six?
He took a shower earlier
and is exercising now.
The kid's still alive?
Tokek was too drunk
to kill him last night.
But today, it will happen for sure.
- Let's pray for him.
- Right.
I'm off first.
Okay.
Pick it up, sweetheart.
Pick it up!
Don't bend over.
Your hands are useless, huh?
Let me just cut them off for you.
So you got yourself a little guard dog.
You've got other creatures
living with you.
Rats, cockroaches, bedbugs.
Make your cell nice and comfy for them.
You're able to be here because
the country is funding it.
Be grateful!
Clean your space until it's spotless!
SHIFuck you!
Fucker!
What do you know about being fucked?
Life has fucked me over so many times!
Wanna feel what I feel?
Come at me!
This fucker.
Fucker!
Fuck! What's with you!
You two!
Why is it always you two?
You think this prison...
What's going on?
Who did it?
We'll sort it out
before the police arrive, sir.
They can't and won't come here.
Are you stupid?
If this hits the headlines, we're screwed.
He was a nobody.
Even his family won't show.
- Handle it yourself.
- Yes, sir.
This isn't just about me.
If I go down, you're going down with me.
- You're already in too deep. Swim smart.
- Understood, sir.
Find out who...
Everything okay, Mr. Sapto?
Sir! So sorry if we disturbed your rest.
All is good, sir.
We've got all the officers
ensuring your comfort and safety.
Thank goodness.
Yes.
I'm trying to be a model citizen now.
Right.
- Not going anywhere.
- I understand.
Just staying in my cell. Safe, right?
Of course, sir.
I'll probably head home next week.
I haven't been home in a week.
My poor wife must miss me.
Wife number?
The third one, of course.
One and two are already sick of my face.
You're such a funny man, sir.
By the way, did you get my gift
for your boy's birthday?
Oh my God.
I forgot to thank you directly.
Thank you so much, sir.
You really didn't have to.
Not at all.
You did say he wanted a Wubicon.
Correct, sir.
Kids these days have expensive taste.
That's good, not like back
in our day, struggling.
You're right again, sir.
All right, then, I'm off to watch a movie.
Very well, sir.
If anything comes up,
just text me, all right?
Will do.
I'm here whenever you need me.
Have a great shift.
And you have a good rest, sir.
- Good night, Mr. Sapto.
- Good night, sir.
Find the culprit now!
What do you mean you saw
Tokek walk into his cell?
I swear it was him. He was real.
Not like some see-through ghost.
Like you know
what a ghost even looks like.
That's what they say, right?
Six, if you keep making things up,
we will beat you up ourselves.
Have you ever seen me this serious?
I don't believe you.
Still
Hey, what are you doing here?!
- Hey, shush!
- What's with you?!
- Stay away.
- What's wrong with you?
He can't! He shouldn't be here!
Stay away!
- Six! Dimas, stay here.
- No, no, no!
- Kindness will do you good.
- You stay there!
Don't stay here! Go!
Please, just listen to me!
If you act like this
- Sit down!
- No, let him leave so Six calms down.
- Be quiet!
- Calm down.
What are you doing on that side?
Go over there!
Hey.
Do you think they're suspicious of us?
I mean, we always clashed
with Tokek's gang.
But honestly, we'd be better off
if the police investigated.
But that won't happen.
The officers will handle it themselves.
So now we've got two problems.
First, the prison officers,
Second
Them. They'll think we did it.
Anggoro's gonna protect us, right?
Allah will protect you.
What's wrong with Anton?
His wife ran off with all their savings.
Wait you see that?
The red thing around Anton?
- What are you talking about?
- That!
Like red smoke!
Stop being creepy, Six!
- What?
- Nothing's there!
- It looks like smoke!
- What do you mean?
Red smoke on his body.
- I'm fine. I said I'm fine!
- Don't make a scene.
- Around him.
- Enough.
Stop it.
Shut up!
Food's ready!
Let's eat.
What's going on? What happened?
You all know the situation.
I won't say much.
Talking's not my job.
Yet you never stop talking.
If anyone knows who committed
this horrific crime,
step forward now.
Come.
Quickly.
Sir.
- Yes?
- I'm scared, sir.
I saw the body. That death wasn't natural.
Why haven't the police come?
I've been trying to keep you all safe.
But I guess you just want to
make things difficult!
Hey.
Did anyone ask you to help him?
No.
Do I need permission for that?
Where were you this morning?
Where else could I go? I'm a prisoner.
You think this is a joke?
Where were you when Tokek was murdered?
In my cell. I have witnesses.
Who? Your friends?
The CCTV might show something else.
What CCTV? They're all dead.
Exactly.
Which means we can do whatever we want.
Nowadays, anything can be staged.
How much longer are you in for?
Seven months?
Forget it.
A murder case like this
could add another 20 years.
There's no breakfast today.
No lunch.
And no dinner.
If no one's coming forward,
there'll be no food
tomorrow or ever again!
To help you understand
what discipline means,
I'm cutting off
electricity, water,
anything that makes your life easier.
You want to act like animals?
Then you'll be treated like animals!
- You piece of shit!
- Stay calm.
- We're all screwed because of you.
- Don't take the bait!
Fuck you!
You stupid bitch!
I'll escape and kill you myself, bitch!
Why did you kill your boss?
It wasn't me! I didn't kill my boss!
No need to lie. You're not in a court.
I swear!
Even if I did kill him,
no way I could've lifted
and hung him on the ceiling fan!
Then why were you still found guilty?
This is Indonesia.
You think we're in Norway or something?
Maybe your spirit guardian did it.
What? There's no such thing!
Six, come here.
No.
Get over here and tell us what you saw.
After Tokek died, I saw a figure
that looked like him enter your cell.
And just now, after Anton died,
I saw him walking toward you.
I wasn't even at the scene,
so clearly I didn't do it!
I've always been wimpy.
When I was a baby,
even my cries sounded wimpy.
How does that even sound like?!
Actually, I saw something else too.
What?
Before they died,
I saw a red aura around their heads.
Aura?!
I swear I'll stomp on your neck.
You're still making shit up?
I swear, I'll swear on Allah!
But you don't believe in Allah.
Then I'll swear on anything!
Ever since that terrible headache,
I've been seeing weird things.
Tokek and Anton both had
blood-red auras before they died.
How convenient that you just happened
to see their auras.
Now I can see everyone's aura in the dark.
Can you see mine?
- Yes.
- What color?
Grey.
What does it mean?
How would I know?
Then what's the point of you
seeing auras, dumb-ass?!
Gray aura means confusion.
You're religious.
Why do you believe in such nonsense?
In Islam, though it's not called an aura,
there are verses and hadiths.
"Whoever prays often at night,
their face will shine during the day."
Hadith from Ibn Majah.
Yours is light blue.
Honesty and wisdom.
- Go to hell.
- Man, that's totally made up.
- No way I'm lying. My aura is honesty.
- It's only good when it's him.
Yours is indigo, but murky.
What color is indigo?
Between blue and purple.
If it's murky, it means
you're unsure, conflicted.
Yeah, I'm conflicted about
whether to slap your face or not.
Yours is green, but also murky.
Apathy.
Then what does blood-red mean,
like Tokek's and Anton's?
Anger. Negative energy.
My boss was angry too,
that night before he died.
He fought with his wife,
and our paper was going bankrupt.
So someone's killing people
who have the most negative energy.
But who?
Or what?
Something.
Only if Six isn't making this up.
I'm not! You think it's fun
to see such things?
Enough. We're safe,
since our auras aren't red, right?
Even though they're kinda murky.
Not really.
Auras can change with your mood.
What if it turns red and murky?
How do we fix it?
By doing good deeds.
Cleaning with sincerity, praying, or art.
Doing art can calm you down.
It keeps your aura safe.
Like what?
Painting, singing, dancing.
I can't paint or sing.
Then dance.
I can't dance either.
Everybody can dance.
Screw you. You used to be the quiet one.
Now you won't shut up.
- He's right. It's bullshit.
- Stop fooling around.
- Enough.
- Come here and explain it.
How long does it take
to learn to read the Quran?
If you're diligent, 48 hours.
- That's fast!
- Only if you're diligent.
Hey, wait!
Wait a minute.
- What do you want?
- We want to pray!
Find someplace else. It's full here.
That sucks. Muslims never stop others
from practicing their religion.
Let's just recite in our cells.
We can't. Too filthy and impure.
Then what do we do?
That's not it, babe.
Softly, like a wave
Hi! For those just joining,
welcome to the class!
Please, take any empty spots.
I'm Novilham. Call me Ilham or Novi.
Let's learn some choreography!
Look at me carefully.
I don't want to repeat myself.
Pay attention, okay?
One, right hand up, left hand up.
Crown, then shampoo, and body soap.
Left tit, right tit, go down,
period cramps, and turn!
Period cramps, and turn!
Go big, then close, go big, then close!
One more, then go down, go up,
shampoo, flip it, turn back.
Twerk, twerk, twerk all the way, go up,
and turn around.
Understood?
Now quick, follow me!
Let's do it together!
Right hand up, left hand up,
crown, then shampoo, and soap.
Left tit, right tit, go down,
period cramps, and turn!
Bang!
Period cramps and turn!
Go big, then close, go big, then close!
One more, then go down, go up,
wash your transparent hair, flip it,
turn back, twerk all the way down,
then go up,
and turn around!
You're not synced at all,
moves are different!
Again from the top! Watch me!
Put one hand up.
Up.
- I heard you can see auras.
- Who told you that?
Left tit, right tit.
What's my aura?
- You can only see it in the dark?
- Yeah.
Hold on.
Period cramp and pose.
Well? Am I safe?
Murky green! Safe!
One more time, go big!
Six, am I safe?
Shampoo, flip your hair!
You too.
Twerk all the way down and go back up.
All of you are green, safe!
Hey! What are you doing in the dark?
Join the group!
You guys just don't appreciate my class.
I'm tired!
All of you get out!
What a waste of my energy.
Get out!
I'm exhausted! This is not the day.
Quick, get out!
I'm worried. Novilham seems so upset.
But he keeps dancing.
He should be safe, right?
That's true
Why's he so down anyway?
His dance studio was demolished
for a political party headquarters.
Too many parties already, aren't there?
Like floating turds.
Have you actually seen floating turds?
I haven't.
Ever gone looking for them?
No.
For political parties?
No.
See? They're the same thing.
Hopefully, his dancing
keeps his aura safe.
What if he dances in anger?
Is that even possible? Dancing angrily?
Of course, it is.
People pray in anger all the time.
Academic advisor
Where are you guys going?
Trying to dance instead.
The Quran is hard, man.
First time reciting?
Yeah. We're Christians.
Don't go in yet.
The teacher needs time alone.
Don't tell me what to do.
Fuck!
We were only a few meters away!
Fuck!
Now the cops will definitely show up!
Wrong. We'll be cut off from the outside.
They will cover this up
to hide the drug business here.
His aura was brown.
What?
Novi's aura before he died.
Dark brown. Not red.
What does that mean?
People with dark brown auras,
that's below blood red.
It wasn't anger.
More like boiling frustration.
Wait, so the aura doesn't have to be red
for someone to die?
No.
Even if everyone stays positive,
there'll always be
the least positive person.
And that person's gonna die.
Fuck.
In the end, we're all
going to die one by one.
I can see everyone's aura,
except for one person.
Who?
Tell us what you know about all this!
Talk!
I swear I don't know anything!
This started happening
when you came in here!
Your boss died the same way?
Like the inmates here?
Yes, but I don't know why. I swear!
Since when did this all start?
Since the day my boss died.
Where were you before? Visiting a shaman?
No. Just covering a story
about a forest in Borneo.
What case?
Protected forest cleared for
illegal nickel mining.
Government officials were behind it.
And?
But the strange part is,
dozens of workers died suspiciously.
What were the bodies like?
What do you mean?
How did they die? Stabbed? Shot?
Allah, forgive me.
I don't know who killed them,
but the bodies were carved
and hung in trees.
Like an art installation.
Like sculptures in an exhibit.
Except this was made by
a complete lunatic.
Anything else you remember?
About what?
Anything! Anything that can
help us survive!
That's all, there's nothing else.
Think harder, damn it!
I did!
I've been thinking hard!
Every day!
Wondering how I ended up here!
I think so hard every single day.
I don't know about you guys,
but I've never even gotten into
a shouting match,
let alone a physical fight,
let alone killed someone!
My little brothers are
still in junior high.
When they were babies,
our parents drowned in a flood.
I don't know how they're doing now.
I always think hard. I swear.
I also think about my purpose in life.
My dad was a shaman.
He said he could heal people.
I didn't believe him.
I thought he was a fraud.
He said I was special.
That I had a special gift.
Now that I'm seeing things like this,
I'm also thinking hard about
what this gift is for.
We're all born with a purpose.
Everything in nature has a "telos,"
a natural end or goal.
That's from Aristotle.
Every individual has a unique and personal
calling or a mission,
and that's from Sren Kierkegaard.
Suddenly got smart?
It's easier to survive in this country
if people think you're dumb.
Less threatening.
We have to have a purpose in this country.
Otherwise, what's the point of life?
So all of us should survive, go out,
and find our purpose.
For that, we have to work together
and find a solution.
Okay?!
Okay.
Okay.
- Okay!
- Okay.
What an eyesore.
Fuck my goat!
After you got back from Borneo,
did you keep following the case?
Even right before I got here,
I was still in touch with the people.
Anyone else died after that?
No.
What is it, Anggoro?
Anggoro?
Whatever it is
Stay there!
Whatever killed those people,
it followed Dimas to Jakarta.
It's here with us.
You
- What are you doing?!
- I'm taking him away.
Hand the kid over!
Why? He didn't kill anyone.
- Since he showed up, people started dying!
- What'll you do with him?
He's not getting out of here alive!
Hand him over!
Close it!
Open it, fucker!
Hey.
Give it to me!
Eat this shit!
Fuck!
Eat this shit!
Anggoro!
What?
- Your aura!
- What about it?
It turned red!
- What do I do?
- Tone it down!
Pray! Or do art!
Right now?
You'll die! Do it now! Pray or do art!
Fight back, you shithead!
He's safe.
You're safe, Anggoro!
- You like that?
- Fuck you!
What about Bimo?
Hey, answer me! Be fair, man!
Reddish gray.
Bimo! Your aura is red!
Your aura is red!
I'm not dancing! Gross!
Look, the shadow has appeared.
Bimo!
You will die!
Our Father who art in Heaven,
hallowed be Thy name.
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses as we
Bimo!
He's safe!
- You're safe!
- I'm safe?
You're safe, Bimo!
Hey!
Listen up, all of you.
We may be enemies. Rivals.
But when we're in danger,
we must stand together.
That's the only way we all survive.
After he's gone,
we can go back to hating each other.
Wait!
You think the ghost will just disappear
if Dimas dies? No!
This isn't a regular ghost.
You can't just get rid of it.
If he dies, it'll just move on
to the next host.
And we don't know who.
We can't fight something
we don't understand.
And Dimas is the key
to understanding this ghost.
He brought it here
and will help us figure out
how to stop it.
If he dies? We have no answers.
We just wait for our turn to die,
one by one.
Is that what you want?
I mean, look at him.
He's a wimp.
But look how deadly the ghost is.
What if it attaches to someone brutal?
It might kill all of us in one go.
That's why.
Dimas must not die!
He's the key!
I'm the key!
I shouldn't die!
I don't understand
why stupid people make their lives
harder than they need to be.
Look at the result of teaching you peace.
Are you all allergic to peace?
I know who's gonna die next.
You.
You have masochistic personality disorder.
You're dumb, so you don't know
what that means.
It means
a person who always seeks
suffering, humiliation,
or failure, unconsciously,
even when there's a chance to be happy.
I feel sorry for you.
Interesting.
Masochistic personality disorder
isn't recognized in the Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual anymore
because it placed the blame
on individuals,
instead of acknowledging
trauma or social forces.
What do you know about psychology?
I've studied this for years.
The ones who act most powerful are
often terrified someone will see
how small they feel inside.
That's from Athlete's Ladder.
Alfred Adler!
Athlete's Big Tank.
Alfred Adler.
The father of Individual Psychology.
By the way, I like him better than Freud.
What happened to you as a child
that made you hide
your inferiority complex so hard?
I believe, underneath it all,
you're desperately trying to prove
you deserve respect
by making others feel smaller.
You're all going to rot and die here!
None of you are getting out.
Forget your dreams of freedom!
It will never come!
Why?
Because I believe all of you are
responsible for the murders.
You're sick!
And I don't want to hear a single word
about aura bullshit,
negative energy, or any ghost bullshit!
You're the monsters!
You should all rot in here!
Stop making up ghost stories!
Ghosts can suck my cock!
I seek refuge in Allah
from the outcast Satan.
- Amitabha.
- Hallelujah, hallelujah.
In the name of God, the Most Gracious,
the Most Merciful.
All praise belongs to Allah.
Amitabha.
I used to be a fighter.
Back in college, I was all about protests.
I couldn't sleep. I was always restless.
The government was unjust.
Officials were corrupt.
Lawmakers were corrupt.
Later, I joined a political party.
I tried to fight from inside the system.
You know what lesson I learned?
Nothing will ever change.
And nothing needs to.
As human beings,
we carry the burden to be good,
honest, and full of integrity.
However, all that means nothing.
In Indonesia,
it's survival of the fittest.
In the jungle, the strongest will survive.
In our daily lives,
only the smartest survive.
They call it corruption.
I call it reward for the smarts.
Everyone's chasing profit.
Everyone takes shortcuts. And there's
nothing wrong with that, right?
Rich, poor, they're all the same.
We just need to save ourselves.
That's all.
Our only responsibility is to ourselves.
You'll learn that.
Jefry is dead.
You're going to take his place.
He used to be my right-hand man.
Now you are.
Can you do that?
I need your loyalty and commitment.
If I'm safe, you're safe.
If I rise,
I'll make sure you rise with me.
Can you do that?
Yes, sir!
Yes?
You called for me, sir?
Carry out what I told you this afternoon.
Yes, sir.
Bring only the ones we can trust.
Yes, sir.
Teacher said that liking to make shapes
is a sign of intelligence.
You imagine it in your mind first.
It teaches us to live with purpose.
We're all going to die if we do nothing!
Sure, we could each save ourselves.
But your turn will come.
So what do we do?
We have to unite.
Let's think together, find a way.
I'm not here to be a leader
or to try to be the boss.
I'm willing to take orders.
What matters is that we unite.
Come on!
Come on!
Rendra's gonna be pissed at you.
Let him.
I've been trying to save others too.
I stayed close to influence him.
From killing five people down to just one.
I play it smart, not recklessly like you.
Strategic, just like a politician.
Let's gather.
Okay, this might be enough.
So what's your idea?
This ghost is latching onto Dimas
for a reason.
Look at the victims.
The bodies are turned into art.
It shows it can think.
It's intelligent.
And it came here for a reason.
What is it?
It's looking for someone.
The deaths are still happening,
so it hasn't found the one yet.
So the ghost is stupid?
I thought it was smart.
Maybe killing people for their auras
is like feeding itself.
But I'm not sure
who or what it's really looking for.
It's because it's too far.
What do you mean?
Everyone who died was near me.
I mean, all still in Block C.
So it could be someone from another block?
But who?
You sure you want to stay here, sir?
The other gentlemen here have already
taken days off for some fresh air.
What about you, sir?
I've got something to deal with
in Block C.
Oh no.
Those are robbers and scammers, right?
Right.
They really shouldn't even be
in the same prison as us.
Exactly, sir. They don't deserve to be.
Right.
It's fine. I'll just stay here.
- There's a lot, seriously?
- Hey.
If we don't figure this out,
someone is gonna die soon.
I've been tracking the timing!
Come on, let's think. Who could it be?
Dimas?
You know best. Try to feel it.
I don't know.
- Shit, he is useless.
- This fucker.
Prakasa Kitabuming.
He's a corruption convict. Block K.
Guess the K stands for kleptocracy.
Nah.
It stands for Kocksuckers.
Why him?
He's the one responsible for
all those nickel mines in Borneo.
He often leaves prison
to visit his resort there too.
Those filthy-ass politicians
Let's move closer to Block K.
We have to be extremely careful.
There are prison guards assigned
specifically to protect Block K.
Plus, they hired their own bodyguards.
Let's go.
I have a really bad feeling.
We have to move fast.
The warden's up to something.
I don't know what.
ATTENTION
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY
We go from the back.
This should be close enough.
How will we know
if the ghost has gotten Prakasa?
- You got your phone?
- I do.
- Do you know Prakasa's number?
- No.
But I memorized it
from the Head Warden's phone.
Call him. If he picks up,
he's still alive.
Hello?
He's still alive.
Would he know it was you?
Nope, I hid my number.
Maybe he has to get angry first,
so his aura turns negative,
and then the ghost can kill him?
Can I borrow the phone?
This is his number?
Hey, doormats!
You should be robbing those bastards,
not guarding them!
We protect those who have money,
you dumb fucks.
Bullshit!
Why are you two following me here?
I can't fight!
I should track their auras!
What about you?
I'm gonna make Prakasa angry!
What's your plan?
- I'm not scared.
- KPK.
Those corrupt people are still criminals,
no matter how powerful.
KPK.
I get it.
Brilliant.
Hello?
Mr. Prakasa, remember me?
From the Corruption Eradication
Commission.
Remember last time, when I escorted you
to the Red-and-White building?
Still not satisfied with arresting me?
Just checking in on you.
How's life now that
everything's fallen apart?
Fallen apart?
My life's still great. Safer, even.
You? Careful you don't fail that
National Values "Test" again.
Fail, and you'll be hustling
as a seminar speaker.
An online seminar, no less.
Asshole.
Red!
Fuck
Keep going!
You're safe!
PRAKASA KITABUMING'S MISTRESS EXPOSED
Hi, besties of Intan Lidya!
Today, I'm gonna show you
my daily makeup routine.
My makeup.
You're so cool.
Prakasa, honey.
It's me, your baby, Intan.
I'm super stressed. I feel so alone.
But you got everything you wanted.
Exactly, honey, you gave me everything.
Bags, cars, trips, diamonds, all of it.
But, honey, I'm embarrassed
to be known as Prakasa's mistress.
I mean, you're just a man in prison now.
You're an idiot if you think
I'm just some man in prison.
And I hate stupid women.
Go find yourself a new sugar daddy.
Red!
Red!
What do we do?
Keep going!
Now what?
If you can't get rid of this ghost,
the ghost won't be the one killing us.
It'll be these motherfuckers!
What's next?!
We don't want chaos,
we're here to express our anger!
We're angry!
We came in peace. No weapons, no soldiers.
We're here to propose an idea.
Nothing more.
FROM PROTESTS TO PROJECTS,
YOUNG PRAKASA, FORMER ACTIVIST.
We're here purely for the people.
That includes me, my mother, yourself,
and all mothers out there.
Hello?
Remember me?
Who's this?
Already forgotten about me, huh?
Is this a joke? I'm hanging up.
I get it if you've forgotten.
You killed me.
But I'm sure you still remember my voice.
The one you used to hear
when you talked to yourself.
We used to talk about
what we could do for this country.
Yes, I'm you.
The younger you.
Lying bastard!
I just want to ask.
When exactly did we become like this?
When did a young man full of dreams
turn into a coward, forced to hide?
How did a man of dignity end up
with a life cursed by millions?
Shut up!
I have everything I ever wanted!
Everything?
A comfy chair in prison?
A fancy dining table that means nothing?
The spoiled kids we used to despise?
Prakasa, we are outcasts.
Was this our dream?
To become thieves in suits?
I'm not a thief!
I fought for all of this!
Fought?
I remember what we once told Mom.
"Mom, I want to be someone great.
Someone honorable."
"I want to make this country better."
Do we still believe that?
Or was it all just to make her happy
before we started stealing
from the people?
- She's gone now, Prakasa.
- Shut up.
If she were still here, wouldn't she cry
seeing what we've become?
Shut up! Bastard!
He's dead!
Prakasa is dead!
What else are you fighting for?
The ghost is gone.
Stop!
Traitor! Snitch!
Snitches don't deserve to live!
You will all die!
But first, you're going to watch
your friends burn!
And it's all your fault!
Water!
You bastards!
Why did you use water?!
Let me go, you bastards!
I'm the Head Warden!
Only five honest guards out of fifty?
Ten percent of Indonesia is
still some kind of hope, sir.
This is about the time
police sirens start kicking in.
But what for?
SIX MONTHS LATER
The pawn must be sacrificed,
just like the people.
Right.
So frustrating.
But a pawn can become something more.
If it makes it all the way to the end,
toward its dream, it can become the queen.
There you go.
So chess is like life?
- That's right.
- Yes!
I came to say goodbye.
He is finally free.
It's rare for an appeal to get
a final verdict this quickly.
The CCTV footage was pretty clear.
I wasn't even in my boss's office
when he got murdered.
It's weird that the footage
was missing back then.
It's CCTV. It only exists
when it's needed.
Right.
And you even got a taste of life in here.
That's right.
If you ever miss it, just come back in.
Yes.
Now, I see why that ghost clung to you.
You've got the most positive aura.
Golden.
What does it mean?
Inner peace. Super rare.
Well, I don't find myself
that peaceful inside.
Where are you heading after this?
Borneo, back to Nehea Forest.
Maybe the ghost's still with me,
so I can take it home.
- Such a good kid.
- Good.
Group hug!
Be safe out there.
Oh, yeah, you're getting out
next month, right?
If they don't extend my sentence.
But do you want to get out?
Of course I do.
See you outside, then.
See you.
It's okay to cry if you want to.
Take care.
Be kind, but don't be stupid!
Kiddo.
One got out.
- One got out.
- It's about time.
Come on.
You okay if I change your name?
It's okay. We're roommates now.
- What?
- His name.
- But I'm still uncircumcised.
- Relax.
- Still uncircumcised.
- Let me change the name too.
Listen.
An Arabic name.
KEEP THE PEACE TOGETHER
Action!
I can't dance.
Everybody can dance.
Action!
I can't dance.
Everybody can dance.
Action!
What?
Come on.
Everybody, quick, join the dance.
Come on.
Put your hands up. Go big.
Go big. Go down. Hey!
NINE WORKERS HAVE REPORTEDLY DIED.
THE FIRST DEATH TOOK PLACE
ON FEBRUARY 12, 2025
ON THE EDGE OF NEHEA FOREST
BY THE MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT
How's it going?
You gonna be long?
Just two more sentences.
Then I'll send it to Mr. Endy, sir.
I told the printer guy to wait.
But his wife started having the baby.
He had to rush to the hospital.
THE NATIVES REPORTED THE CASE
TO THE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
If we had ads, I could fill the space.
But we haven't had ads in a long time.
"THIS FOREST ISN'T JUST TREES,
IT'S OUR HOME."
If your article doesn't come in,
we'll have a blank spot.
Done.
I just need to wait
for Mr. Endy's approval.
I made sure that
there won't be any revisions.
It should go straight to print.
Of course you had to be careful.
You're writing about a big company.
Their investors are government officials.
This will make headlines.
They illegally dug up 10,000 hectares
of protected forest for a nickel mine.
No one dares to speak up.
Plus, dozens of workers died
under suspicious circumstances.
It's scary, sir.
And you actually went there?
Yes, sir.
It's a seven-hour drive
from Balikpapan to Nehea Forest.
I've been to Borneo forests before,
but this one was really mysterious.
I can't wait to read your piece.
Best piece I've ever written.
Mr. Endy's going to love it!
That's great!
Hello, sir?
You call this an article?
What are you, an intern?
Get in here, now!
Yes, sir.
Oh no.
I'll be smoking downstairs, Dimas!
Let me know once it's sent to me!
Excuse me, sir.
You went all the way to Borneo,
wasting our money for this?
Writing about homicide
like those trashy online articles?
You're an economics desk reporter!
The illegal mining part is there, sir.
But the workers' deaths are
more compelling
Don't you get that we're going
out of business?!
People still read us
because we have substance!
If our stories are no different
from anyone else's,
why the hell would they subscribe to us?
You've got 20 minutes to revise.
The lede should be, "Illegal Deforestation
of Protected Forest."
"Vice-President's son's company
is involved."
That's it!
Yes, sir.
Idiot!
MY WIFE
Hello?
You know the editor can handle it.
It doesn't have to be you.
I just fired my editor today.
I can't afford to pay them!
If the company can't be saved,
then come home.
Save your marriage!
I built this paper from nothing!
Before I met you!
This paper means a lot more
than our marriage!
Fine. Bye.
Fuck!
Dimas!
Mr. Vijay
Help
MAINTAIN ORDER
Good morning!
Morning, morning, morning!
Today is the same as yesterday,
the same as tomorrow.
As always,
you decide whether your day goes smoothly
or the other way round.
You know the rules.
Obey, and you live in peace.
Disobey, and face the consequences.
The only freedom you have here
is choosing how you want
to spend your day.
Understood?
Understood, understood, understood!
- Everyone's here?
- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!
One missing!
Get down.
I'm sick, sir.
If I stand, my head spins.
Stand up!
Idiot.
He has no religion!
What did you say?
The next hour and a half is
for religious practice.
He has no religion,
so he can rest and recover.
A third of your time here's for religion.
So if you're not religious,
you get a third of the day off?
Religion doesn't force
sick people to pray.
If you think you're smarter than me,
don't fool yourself.
Your brain's tiny compared to mine.
Why so quiet?
Picturing yourself as me?
What would you be doing right now
if you were me?
I definitely wouldn't work in
a shitty place like this.
I work here
because I can!
Come on.
Let him go!
Come on!
Fight back!
Come on now.
Come on!
In here, you're excrement.
So if someone gives a damn, like I do,
just be grateful.
Don't act out.
Believe me!
I'm harsh on you
because that's what you need.
I'm the cure to your diseased hearts.
You're all here
because of your own mistakes.
You have no right to complain.
No right to ask for anything!
Just be quiet and follow the rules.
Now go do your religious activities!
Whether you have a religion or not!
Take him to the cage.
No need to throw it like that.
It won't hurt you to be nice.
What if I spit on it first?
Why did Anggoro pick a fight
with Jefry earlier?
Better than this fucker dying.
I didn't ask Anggoro to help.
He thinks everyone needs his help.
Without him, most of us
wouldn't survive in here.
- Not me. I'm doing just fine.
- Fine getting beaten up?
Anggoro's not even a good fighter.
But people respect him.
It's his looks.
If I were tall and handsome like him,
people would respect me too.
Handsome guys get stepped on too.
Anggoro's got a real leader's spirit.
That's what he gets respect for.
You?
You're still alive only because
others think you can actually see ghosts.
You lied about that?!
You trying to get me killed?
Confess, Six.
You don't want to die a sinner.
- Right.
- Six.
You really don't have religion?
Where will you go when you die?
Six did a mantra when I was sick,
and I got better.
You lied about that too?
But you got better, right?
Fucker.
You're a former professor,
and you buy that nonsense?
You're just fresh meat for the dumb.
But Six has a point, Pendi.
You read books every day,
but you're still dumb like us.
If only you could outsmart Jefry
and show that we have brains too.
I'm sick of hearing him lecture us.
Hey, man.
Where's Anggoro?
He's not here. Go away.
- Please help me, man. I'm fucked.
- It's none of our business, go away!
Without Anggoro's help, I'm dead for sure.
He's in the cage. He can't help you!
Anggoro's not here, Syafiq.
Go away.
Fuckers!
You idiots!
Don't you mess with me!
You think you own this place?!
Nothing is free in this world! Fuck you!
Listen to me!
Throwing food away
while people out there starve to death!
You brainless fuckers!
Lick it! Fucking lick it clean!
You've got visitors.
Tell them to go home.
What am I, your servant?
Tell them yourself.
I feel bad just looking at their faces.
Where's your mother?
It's just me and Didi, Dad.
What are you doing here?
We haven't seen each other in two months.
We missed you.
Mom didn't want to come.
Our neighbor dropped us off
on his way to work.
Your mom must've been busy
working hard for you guys.
No, Dad.
She
We think she's going out
with Mr. Alexander.
Alexander who?
Her coworker at the bakery.
He's been visiting
for the last three months.
At first, Mom kicked him out.
But he kept coming.
And I think she's starting to like him.
We don't want Mom to marry him, Dad.
We don't want a father like him.
Why?
Because
He
He's ugly, Dad.
Even with a name like Alexander.
See, I'm Bibin, and I look okay.
Your mom can't remarry.
We're still married.
Mom said you were supposed
to be out last year,
but you kept getting into fights,
so you're still here.
Dad.
Please don't fight anymore, Dad.
Didi here asks everyone he meets,
"Which prison is your dad in?"
He thinks all dads are in prison.
We look at your photo
every night before bed.
So we won't forget your face.
Oh, almost forgot.
What's this?
So you won't forget our faces.
What are you playing with here?
That's clay.
We can make all kinds of shapes.
Teacher said that liking to make shapes
is a sign of intelligence.
You imagine it in your mind first,
then create it with your hands.
She also said that it teaches us
to live with purpose.
She's right.
Time to go home now.
Okay, Dad.
Please don't get into trouble
anymore, Dad.
I'm sorry.
I brought you a banana.
Bye, Dad!
Bye, my sons.
NO SMOKING
WELCOME
Poor man.
Just about to repent and then got killed.
Have a smoke and calm down.
Hey, this is expensive.
It's haram.
He's not allowed.
Why are you all squatting here
like egg yolks?
What?
Someone was looking for you,
asking for protection.
Who?
Syafiq.
Oh, heard he wants to quit dealing.
Promised his sick mother.
Where's he?
He got stabbed to death.
Don't look.
I feel guilty now.
You helped me this morning
and ended up in solitary,
and you couldn't help Syafiq.
It's not your fault.
Who visited you?
My kids.
What did they say?
To make sure I stay out of trouble
so I can get out in seven months.
And what did you tell them?
Nothing.
What's your plan when you get out?
Nothing.
There's no point.
In this fucked up country, hard work
means nothing. You know that.
What about your kids, then?
Better off with their mother.
My head.
Still not getting better?
He was so noisy last night.
PRISONER TRANSPORT VEHICLE
WARNING - DO NOT APPROACH
THE SAFETY FENCE
Pretty boy!
Pretty boy!
Hey!
You're mine.
Don't give it to anyone else.
I'm gonna split you wide open.
I'll enter you.
Bang you hard.
Make you feel real good.
Smooth meat!
Hey, let me in on the gossip.
Anggoro
This time, better stay out of it.
Out of what?
You're the one killing your own guys.
Not my problem. Why would I interfere?
Fuck you.
I'm sick of
your holier-than-thou attitude.
36 YEARS OLD
Next.
Dimas.
Quickly.
Hold it straight.
25 YEARS OLD
Look here.
Okay, next!
Next!
Okay, pull up your pants.
Pull up your pants.
Dimas Kurniawan.
Yes, sir?
I didn't ask you to sit.
Strip.
Any illegal items on you?
No, sir.
Any drugs?
No, sir.
Pants off.
Pants off.
Look at this.
What's that, Pendi?
So I can talk from a distance,
like the Presidential Guard.
A student gave this to me yesterday.
How are you gonna use that here?
What are you, stupid?
I'll give one to my kid later.
He just needs to come
near the prison to talk to me.
What if you get caught?
I won't!
- Hey!
- What do you mean you won't?!
Take the new guy around.
Show him around.
Go.
- Go ahead.
- You take him.
Now!
- Let's go!
- I need to take a dump.
Good to be old, huh?
Come here!
Hey, man!
- What's your name?
- Dimas.
I'm Irfan.
Okay, listen up.
Don't mess up when the guard
questions you, or I'm screwed.
This yard is the Judgement Field.
It feels like the freest spot,
but be careful.
Most inmates gather here.
Whether you survive or die
depends on who you hang with.
Look there.
Terrorism inmates.
Big ones who blew up buildings,
and small ones whose bombs
never even went off.
But see,
terror against other religions?
Sadly, not a crime.
We call it majority privilege.
Those in front? Celebrities.
Their arrest made huge headlines.
Journalists went crazy,
pushing aside issues that actually matter.
People say it's a diversion.
Me?
I think Indonesians just care more about
celebrities than their own damn lives.
What did I just say?
Huh?
What about thugs?
Thugs don't go to prison, brother.
They join community organizations.
Stay away from that one.
That's Rendra Oh's gang.
A drug lord. Been in here five years.
He's running his meth lab in here.
Yeah, he totally looks like a boss.
That's not him.
That's Rendra.
Don't underestimate his looks.
He's not here for drugs.
He stabbed someone in a club
just because he hated the music.
He never got caught making drugs in here?
Every inmate and officer knows.
Come on, you're in Indonesia, not Norway.
What about you?
Which gang?
You met Pendi earlier.
He used to be a university lecturer.
He tried to expose corruption on campus.
Got framed for theft.
Across from him is Wildan.
He's the most devoted out of all of us.
Super diligent.
Why's he in here?
Claimed he could
double money with prayers.
The sickly one next to him is Six.
Must've been a sixth kid.
You think you're smart?
His mom really wanted a child, and finally
had one with her sixth husband.
- What's he in for?
- He scammed people online.
Made them fall in love,
then ripped them off.
One victim reported him.
Next to him is Anggoro, in for robbery.
His house got seized,
even though he had the certificate.
Turns out, the land mafia
wanted to build a luxury resort there.
Anggoro got pissed off,
robbed the guy, and got caught.
What about you, bro?
We're not bros yet.
I'm in for phone scam.
"Hello, sir?"
"Your son was caught with drugs."
"Do you want to handle it yourself,
or should I?"
So you're a gang of scammers and robbers?
We're not exactly a gang.
But in here, if you're alone,
you'll die faster.
I feel bad for the victims.
You feel bad for the victims?
You think I'm the evil one here?
Let me show you what's evil.
Over there.
Block K. Full of corrupt officials
who love stealing from the people.
Their cells are huge and fancy.
They've got fridges, TVs, AC, and Wi-Fi.
They can even leave whenever they want.
See the guards at the door?
They're inmates paid to protect them.
Block K inmates never set foot
in the Judgment Field. Why?
They go straight to hell.
No need to be judged.
Let's go.
Here's the prayer room.
Huh? Prayer room? Inside a prison?
Must be dark and damp.
See for yourself.
It's called Musholla Al Prakasa.
Over here. There.
See?
You get it?
We might live in a dumpster,
but our praying place must be luxurious,
so that we can feel
the prestige of our community.
It's quite empty?
But it's luxurious.
We also have an art room.
Also fancy?
In this country, art is not prioritized.
Not like government buildings.
Or chic selfie spots.
But at least we have one.
Not like that!
Here, watch me.
Before we start dancing,
we have to warm up first.
That's Novilham.
He teaches art class.
By the way, which cell did you get?
Block C.
Cell number 31.
Oh, damn.
What?
What's with you?
Just showed the new guy around.
I know, the journalist.
He mutilated his boss.
- That kid?
- Yes.
That's what they say.
Hope he survives the night.
Seems like someone's trying
to get him killed.
What cell is he in?
Tokek's cell.
- He's definitely fucked.
- Damn.
My head
I'm gonna chop your head off.
I'm sick of your shit!
Don't be hard on him.
You try sleeping through this!
Every waking hour.
Don't take too long.
Direct order from the boss.
Understood, sir. By tomorrow.
This is a model prison,
so the work's easier.
Handle this right,
and you'll be sitting where I am soon.
Being a deputy minister is nice.
You deal with respectable people,
not those animals in prison.
Yes, sir.
You'll become deputy minister this year,
minister in two years.
No, no. No way, sir.
In five years, I may be working for you.
You joke, sir.
All right, then.
- Please send my regards to the boss.
- Will do.
Thank you, sir.
You heard that?
Yes, sir.
I've arranged everything, sir.
Keep it clean.
This one's not like the rest of the scum.
If he dies,
it'll make headlines.
Understood, sir.
You're dismissed.
What should we do?
What, you think we can just
ask for a transfer?
I gotta tell you something.
You need to be careful.
You'll be in a cell with Tokek.
Looks like a gecko.
I love geckos, so cute.
Not this one, dumb-ass.
He's had the cell to himself for years.
Anyone who rooms with him
ends up killed.
He is Rendra's hitman.
It seems someone higher up
wants you dead. Stay sharp.
Once you're in, find a weapon.
If he comes at you,
fight back with everything. Got it?
It's nighttime,
and you all know the rules.
I don't care if you were a thug
or gangster out there.
In here,
you play by my rules.
So shut your mouths and sleep tight!
Get inside your cells!
Now!
- Where's Tokek?
- I told him to have a drink first.
He's got a job, you idiot!
If he's drunk,
they'll suspect less, right?
I'm doing you and your boss a favor!
Hey. I don't have a boss.
Watch your mouth.
Remember, you're still nothing
but a doormat.
What do we do? He's gonna die!
Fuck.
Dimas.
You wanna get swollen,
or you wanna get blendered?
You're in my bed.
I can't watch.
Gotta carve you up tonight, pretty boy.
But I'm too drunk.
Tomorrow's fine, yeah?
What's wrong with you?
I saw a rat, sir.
Where?
There.
Don't mess with me.
I can't take this anymore.
I'm better off dead
Can't you die quietly?
I can't sleep, damn it!
If you don't have religion,
where will you go when you die?
I'll send him to hell myself.
Shut it.
It hurts
You're not sick anymore?
No, I feel great.
- He turned into Jackie Chan?
- Dude's lost his mind.
Man, I feel like an athlete.
Did he take the wrong meds?
- What a mess.
- A shower would be nice.
- I'll ask for AC later.
- The fan isn't even working.
Vin, come here.
What are you doing over there?
- Vin.
- Oh, shit.
Where's Six?
He took a shower earlier
and is exercising now.
The kid's still alive?
Tokek was too drunk
to kill him last night.
But today, it will happen for sure.
- Let's pray for him.
- Right.
I'm off first.
Okay.
Pick it up, sweetheart.
Pick it up!
Don't bend over.
Your hands are useless, huh?
Let me just cut them off for you.
So you got yourself a little guard dog.
You've got other creatures
living with you.
Rats, cockroaches, bedbugs.
Make your cell nice and comfy for them.
You're able to be here because
the country is funding it.
Be grateful!
Clean your space until it's spotless!
SHIFuck you!
Fucker!
What do you know about being fucked?
Life has fucked me over so many times!
Wanna feel what I feel?
Come at me!
This fucker.
Fucker!
Fuck! What's with you!
You two!
Why is it always you two?
You think this prison...
What's going on?
Who did it?
We'll sort it out
before the police arrive, sir.
They can't and won't come here.
Are you stupid?
If this hits the headlines, we're screwed.
He was a nobody.
Even his family won't show.
- Handle it yourself.
- Yes, sir.
This isn't just about me.
If I go down, you're going down with me.
- You're already in too deep. Swim smart.
- Understood, sir.
Find out who...
Everything okay, Mr. Sapto?
Sir! So sorry if we disturbed your rest.
All is good, sir.
We've got all the officers
ensuring your comfort and safety.
Thank goodness.
Yes.
I'm trying to be a model citizen now.
Right.
- Not going anywhere.
- I understand.
Just staying in my cell. Safe, right?
Of course, sir.
I'll probably head home next week.
I haven't been home in a week.
My poor wife must miss me.
Wife number?
The third one, of course.
One and two are already sick of my face.
You're such a funny man, sir.
By the way, did you get my gift
for your boy's birthday?
Oh my God.
I forgot to thank you directly.
Thank you so much, sir.
You really didn't have to.
Not at all.
You did say he wanted a Wubicon.
Correct, sir.
Kids these days have expensive taste.
That's good, not like back
in our day, struggling.
You're right again, sir.
All right, then, I'm off to watch a movie.
Very well, sir.
If anything comes up,
just text me, all right?
Will do.
I'm here whenever you need me.
Have a great shift.
And you have a good rest, sir.
- Good night, Mr. Sapto.
- Good night, sir.
Find the culprit now!
What do you mean you saw
Tokek walk into his cell?
I swear it was him. He was real.
Not like some see-through ghost.
Like you know
what a ghost even looks like.
That's what they say, right?
Six, if you keep making things up,
we will beat you up ourselves.
Have you ever seen me this serious?
I don't believe you.
Still
Hey, what are you doing here?!
- Hey, shush!
- What's with you?!
- Stay away.
- What's wrong with you?
He can't! He shouldn't be here!
Stay away!
- Six! Dimas, stay here.
- No, no, no!
- Kindness will do you good.
- You stay there!
Don't stay here! Go!
Please, just listen to me!
If you act like this
- Sit down!
- No, let him leave so Six calms down.
- Be quiet!
- Calm down.
What are you doing on that side?
Go over there!
Hey.
Do you think they're suspicious of us?
I mean, we always clashed
with Tokek's gang.
But honestly, we'd be better off
if the police investigated.
But that won't happen.
The officers will handle it themselves.
So now we've got two problems.
First, the prison officers,
Second
Them. They'll think we did it.
Anggoro's gonna protect us, right?
Allah will protect you.
What's wrong with Anton?
His wife ran off with all their savings.
Wait you see that?
The red thing around Anton?
- What are you talking about?
- That!
Like red smoke!
Stop being creepy, Six!
- What?
- Nothing's there!
- It looks like smoke!
- What do you mean?
Red smoke on his body.
- I'm fine. I said I'm fine!
- Don't make a scene.
- Around him.
- Enough.
Stop it.
Shut up!
Food's ready!
Let's eat.
What's going on? What happened?
You all know the situation.
I won't say much.
Talking's not my job.
Yet you never stop talking.
If anyone knows who committed
this horrific crime,
step forward now.
Come.
Quickly.
Sir.
- Yes?
- I'm scared, sir.
I saw the body. That death wasn't natural.
Why haven't the police come?
I've been trying to keep you all safe.
But I guess you just want to
make things difficult!
Hey.
Did anyone ask you to help him?
No.
Do I need permission for that?
Where were you this morning?
Where else could I go? I'm a prisoner.
You think this is a joke?
Where were you when Tokek was murdered?
In my cell. I have witnesses.
Who? Your friends?
The CCTV might show something else.
What CCTV? They're all dead.
Exactly.
Which means we can do whatever we want.
Nowadays, anything can be staged.
How much longer are you in for?
Seven months?
Forget it.
A murder case like this
could add another 20 years.
There's no breakfast today.
No lunch.
And no dinner.
If no one's coming forward,
there'll be no food
tomorrow or ever again!
To help you understand
what discipline means,
I'm cutting off
electricity, water,
anything that makes your life easier.
You want to act like animals?
Then you'll be treated like animals!
- You piece of shit!
- Stay calm.
- We're all screwed because of you.
- Don't take the bait!
Fuck you!
You stupid bitch!
I'll escape and kill you myself, bitch!
Why did you kill your boss?
It wasn't me! I didn't kill my boss!
No need to lie. You're not in a court.
I swear!
Even if I did kill him,
no way I could've lifted
and hung him on the ceiling fan!
Then why were you still found guilty?
This is Indonesia.
You think we're in Norway or something?
Maybe your spirit guardian did it.
What? There's no such thing!
Six, come here.
No.
Get over here and tell us what you saw.
After Tokek died, I saw a figure
that looked like him enter your cell.
And just now, after Anton died,
I saw him walking toward you.
I wasn't even at the scene,
so clearly I didn't do it!
I've always been wimpy.
When I was a baby,
even my cries sounded wimpy.
How does that even sound like?!
Actually, I saw something else too.
What?
Before they died,
I saw a red aura around their heads.
Aura?!
I swear I'll stomp on your neck.
You're still making shit up?
I swear, I'll swear on Allah!
But you don't believe in Allah.
Then I'll swear on anything!
Ever since that terrible headache,
I've been seeing weird things.
Tokek and Anton both had
blood-red auras before they died.
How convenient that you just happened
to see their auras.
Now I can see everyone's aura in the dark.
Can you see mine?
- Yes.
- What color?
Grey.
What does it mean?
How would I know?
Then what's the point of you
seeing auras, dumb-ass?!
Gray aura means confusion.
You're religious.
Why do you believe in such nonsense?
In Islam, though it's not called an aura,
there are verses and hadiths.
"Whoever prays often at night,
their face will shine during the day."
Hadith from Ibn Majah.
Yours is light blue.
Honesty and wisdom.
- Go to hell.
- Man, that's totally made up.
- No way I'm lying. My aura is honesty.
- It's only good when it's him.
Yours is indigo, but murky.
What color is indigo?
Between blue and purple.
If it's murky, it means
you're unsure, conflicted.
Yeah, I'm conflicted about
whether to slap your face or not.
Yours is green, but also murky.
Apathy.
Then what does blood-red mean,
like Tokek's and Anton's?
Anger. Negative energy.
My boss was angry too,
that night before he died.
He fought with his wife,
and our paper was going bankrupt.
So someone's killing people
who have the most negative energy.
But who?
Or what?
Something.
Only if Six isn't making this up.
I'm not! You think it's fun
to see such things?
Enough. We're safe,
since our auras aren't red, right?
Even though they're kinda murky.
Not really.
Auras can change with your mood.
What if it turns red and murky?
How do we fix it?
By doing good deeds.
Cleaning with sincerity, praying, or art.
Doing art can calm you down.
It keeps your aura safe.
Like what?
Painting, singing, dancing.
I can't paint or sing.
Then dance.
I can't dance either.
Everybody can dance.
Screw you. You used to be the quiet one.
Now you won't shut up.
- He's right. It's bullshit.
- Stop fooling around.
- Enough.
- Come here and explain it.
How long does it take
to learn to read the Quran?
If you're diligent, 48 hours.
- That's fast!
- Only if you're diligent.
Hey, wait!
Wait a minute.
- What do you want?
- We want to pray!
Find someplace else. It's full here.
That sucks. Muslims never stop others
from practicing their religion.
Let's just recite in our cells.
We can't. Too filthy and impure.
Then what do we do?
That's not it, babe.
Softly, like a wave
Hi! For those just joining,
welcome to the class!
Please, take any empty spots.
I'm Novilham. Call me Ilham or Novi.
Let's learn some choreography!
Look at me carefully.
I don't want to repeat myself.
Pay attention, okay?
One, right hand up, left hand up.
Crown, then shampoo, and body soap.
Left tit, right tit, go down,
period cramps, and turn!
Period cramps, and turn!
Go big, then close, go big, then close!
One more, then go down, go up,
shampoo, flip it, turn back.
Twerk, twerk, twerk all the way, go up,
and turn around.
Understood?
Now quick, follow me!
Let's do it together!
Right hand up, left hand up,
crown, then shampoo, and soap.
Left tit, right tit, go down,
period cramps, and turn!
Bang!
Period cramps and turn!
Go big, then close, go big, then close!
One more, then go down, go up,
wash your transparent hair, flip it,
turn back, twerk all the way down,
then go up,
and turn around!
You're not synced at all,
moves are different!
Again from the top! Watch me!
Put one hand up.
Up.
- I heard you can see auras.
- Who told you that?
Left tit, right tit.
What's my aura?
- You can only see it in the dark?
- Yeah.
Hold on.
Period cramp and pose.
Well? Am I safe?
Murky green! Safe!
One more time, go big!
Six, am I safe?
Shampoo, flip your hair!
You too.
Twerk all the way down and go back up.
All of you are green, safe!
Hey! What are you doing in the dark?
Join the group!
You guys just don't appreciate my class.
I'm tired!
All of you get out!
What a waste of my energy.
Get out!
I'm exhausted! This is not the day.
Quick, get out!
I'm worried. Novilham seems so upset.
But he keeps dancing.
He should be safe, right?
That's true
Why's he so down anyway?
His dance studio was demolished
for a political party headquarters.
Too many parties already, aren't there?
Like floating turds.
Have you actually seen floating turds?
I haven't.
Ever gone looking for them?
No.
For political parties?
No.
See? They're the same thing.
Hopefully, his dancing
keeps his aura safe.
What if he dances in anger?
Is that even possible? Dancing angrily?
Of course, it is.
People pray in anger all the time.
Academic advisor
Where are you guys going?
Trying to dance instead.
The Quran is hard, man.
First time reciting?
Yeah. We're Christians.
Don't go in yet.
The teacher needs time alone.
Don't tell me what to do.
Fuck!
We were only a few meters away!
Fuck!
Now the cops will definitely show up!
Wrong. We'll be cut off from the outside.
They will cover this up
to hide the drug business here.
His aura was brown.
What?
Novi's aura before he died.
Dark brown. Not red.
What does that mean?
People with dark brown auras,
that's below blood red.
It wasn't anger.
More like boiling frustration.
Wait, so the aura doesn't have to be red
for someone to die?
No.
Even if everyone stays positive,
there'll always be
the least positive person.
And that person's gonna die.
Fuck.
In the end, we're all
going to die one by one.
I can see everyone's aura,
except for one person.
Who?
Tell us what you know about all this!
Talk!
I swear I don't know anything!
This started happening
when you came in here!
Your boss died the same way?
Like the inmates here?
Yes, but I don't know why. I swear!
Since when did this all start?
Since the day my boss died.
Where were you before? Visiting a shaman?
No. Just covering a story
about a forest in Borneo.
What case?
Protected forest cleared for
illegal nickel mining.
Government officials were behind it.
And?
But the strange part is,
dozens of workers died suspiciously.
What were the bodies like?
What do you mean?
How did they die? Stabbed? Shot?
Allah, forgive me.
I don't know who killed them,
but the bodies were carved
and hung in trees.
Like an art installation.
Like sculptures in an exhibit.
Except this was made by
a complete lunatic.
Anything else you remember?
About what?
Anything! Anything that can
help us survive!
That's all, there's nothing else.
Think harder, damn it!
I did!
I've been thinking hard!
Every day!
Wondering how I ended up here!
I think so hard every single day.
I don't know about you guys,
but I've never even gotten into
a shouting match,
let alone a physical fight,
let alone killed someone!
My little brothers are
still in junior high.
When they were babies,
our parents drowned in a flood.
I don't know how they're doing now.
I always think hard. I swear.
I also think about my purpose in life.
My dad was a shaman.
He said he could heal people.
I didn't believe him.
I thought he was a fraud.
He said I was special.
That I had a special gift.
Now that I'm seeing things like this,
I'm also thinking hard about
what this gift is for.
We're all born with a purpose.
Everything in nature has a "telos,"
a natural end or goal.
That's from Aristotle.
Every individual has a unique and personal
calling or a mission,
and that's from Sren Kierkegaard.
Suddenly got smart?
It's easier to survive in this country
if people think you're dumb.
Less threatening.
We have to have a purpose in this country.
Otherwise, what's the point of life?
So all of us should survive, go out,
and find our purpose.
For that, we have to work together
and find a solution.
Okay?!
Okay.
Okay.
- Okay!
- Okay.
What an eyesore.
Fuck my goat!
After you got back from Borneo,
did you keep following the case?
Even right before I got here,
I was still in touch with the people.
Anyone else died after that?
No.
What is it, Anggoro?
Anggoro?
Whatever it is
Stay there!
Whatever killed those people,
it followed Dimas to Jakarta.
It's here with us.
You
- What are you doing?!
- I'm taking him away.
Hand the kid over!
Why? He didn't kill anyone.
- Since he showed up, people started dying!
- What'll you do with him?
He's not getting out of here alive!
Hand him over!
Close it!
Open it, fucker!
Hey.
Give it to me!
Eat this shit!
Fuck!
Eat this shit!
Anggoro!
What?
- Your aura!
- What about it?
It turned red!
- What do I do?
- Tone it down!
Pray! Or do art!
Right now?
You'll die! Do it now! Pray or do art!
Fight back, you shithead!
He's safe.
You're safe, Anggoro!
- You like that?
- Fuck you!
What about Bimo?
Hey, answer me! Be fair, man!
Reddish gray.
Bimo! Your aura is red!
Your aura is red!
I'm not dancing! Gross!
Look, the shadow has appeared.
Bimo!
You will die!
Our Father who art in Heaven,
hallowed be Thy name.
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses as we
Bimo!
He's safe!
- You're safe!
- I'm safe?
You're safe, Bimo!
Hey!
Listen up, all of you.
We may be enemies. Rivals.
But when we're in danger,
we must stand together.
That's the only way we all survive.
After he's gone,
we can go back to hating each other.
Wait!
You think the ghost will just disappear
if Dimas dies? No!
This isn't a regular ghost.
You can't just get rid of it.
If he dies, it'll just move on
to the next host.
And we don't know who.
We can't fight something
we don't understand.
And Dimas is the key
to understanding this ghost.
He brought it here
and will help us figure out
how to stop it.
If he dies? We have no answers.
We just wait for our turn to die,
one by one.
Is that what you want?
I mean, look at him.
He's a wimp.
But look how deadly the ghost is.
What if it attaches to someone brutal?
It might kill all of us in one go.
That's why.
Dimas must not die!
He's the key!
I'm the key!
I shouldn't die!
I don't understand
why stupid people make their lives
harder than they need to be.
Look at the result of teaching you peace.
Are you all allergic to peace?
I know who's gonna die next.
You.
You have masochistic personality disorder.
You're dumb, so you don't know
what that means.
It means
a person who always seeks
suffering, humiliation,
or failure, unconsciously,
even when there's a chance to be happy.
I feel sorry for you.
Interesting.
Masochistic personality disorder
isn't recognized in the Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual anymore
because it placed the blame
on individuals,
instead of acknowledging
trauma or social forces.
What do you know about psychology?
I've studied this for years.
The ones who act most powerful are
often terrified someone will see
how small they feel inside.
That's from Athlete's Ladder.
Alfred Adler!
Athlete's Big Tank.
Alfred Adler.
The father of Individual Psychology.
By the way, I like him better than Freud.
What happened to you as a child
that made you hide
your inferiority complex so hard?
I believe, underneath it all,
you're desperately trying to prove
you deserve respect
by making others feel smaller.
You're all going to rot and die here!
None of you are getting out.
Forget your dreams of freedom!
It will never come!
Why?
Because I believe all of you are
responsible for the murders.
You're sick!
And I don't want to hear a single word
about aura bullshit,
negative energy, or any ghost bullshit!
You're the monsters!
You should all rot in here!
Stop making up ghost stories!
Ghosts can suck my cock!
I seek refuge in Allah
from the outcast Satan.
- Amitabha.
- Hallelujah, hallelujah.
In the name of God, the Most Gracious,
the Most Merciful.
All praise belongs to Allah.
Amitabha.
I used to be a fighter.
Back in college, I was all about protests.
I couldn't sleep. I was always restless.
The government was unjust.
Officials were corrupt.
Lawmakers were corrupt.
Later, I joined a political party.
I tried to fight from inside the system.
You know what lesson I learned?
Nothing will ever change.
And nothing needs to.
As human beings,
we carry the burden to be good,
honest, and full of integrity.
However, all that means nothing.
In Indonesia,
it's survival of the fittest.
In the jungle, the strongest will survive.
In our daily lives,
only the smartest survive.
They call it corruption.
I call it reward for the smarts.
Everyone's chasing profit.
Everyone takes shortcuts. And there's
nothing wrong with that, right?
Rich, poor, they're all the same.
We just need to save ourselves.
That's all.
Our only responsibility is to ourselves.
You'll learn that.
Jefry is dead.
You're going to take his place.
He used to be my right-hand man.
Now you are.
Can you do that?
I need your loyalty and commitment.
If I'm safe, you're safe.
If I rise,
I'll make sure you rise with me.
Can you do that?
Yes, sir!
Yes?
You called for me, sir?
Carry out what I told you this afternoon.
Yes, sir.
Bring only the ones we can trust.
Yes, sir.
Teacher said that liking to make shapes
is a sign of intelligence.
You imagine it in your mind first.
It teaches us to live with purpose.
We're all going to die if we do nothing!
Sure, we could each save ourselves.
But your turn will come.
So what do we do?
We have to unite.
Let's think together, find a way.
I'm not here to be a leader
or to try to be the boss.
I'm willing to take orders.
What matters is that we unite.
Come on!
Come on!
Rendra's gonna be pissed at you.
Let him.
I've been trying to save others too.
I stayed close to influence him.
From killing five people down to just one.
I play it smart, not recklessly like you.
Strategic, just like a politician.
Let's gather.
Okay, this might be enough.
So what's your idea?
This ghost is latching onto Dimas
for a reason.
Look at the victims.
The bodies are turned into art.
It shows it can think.
It's intelligent.
And it came here for a reason.
What is it?
It's looking for someone.
The deaths are still happening,
so it hasn't found the one yet.
So the ghost is stupid?
I thought it was smart.
Maybe killing people for their auras
is like feeding itself.
But I'm not sure
who or what it's really looking for.
It's because it's too far.
What do you mean?
Everyone who died was near me.
I mean, all still in Block C.
So it could be someone from another block?
But who?
You sure you want to stay here, sir?
The other gentlemen here have already
taken days off for some fresh air.
What about you, sir?
I've got something to deal with
in Block C.
Oh no.
Those are robbers and scammers, right?
Right.
They really shouldn't even be
in the same prison as us.
Exactly, sir. They don't deserve to be.
Right.
It's fine. I'll just stay here.
- There's a lot, seriously?
- Hey.
If we don't figure this out,
someone is gonna die soon.
I've been tracking the timing!
Come on, let's think. Who could it be?
Dimas?
You know best. Try to feel it.
I don't know.
- Shit, he is useless.
- This fucker.
Prakasa Kitabuming.
He's a corruption convict. Block K.
Guess the K stands for kleptocracy.
Nah.
It stands for Kocksuckers.
Why him?
He's the one responsible for
all those nickel mines in Borneo.
He often leaves prison
to visit his resort there too.
Those filthy-ass politicians
Let's move closer to Block K.
We have to be extremely careful.
There are prison guards assigned
specifically to protect Block K.
Plus, they hired their own bodyguards.
Let's go.
I have a really bad feeling.
We have to move fast.
The warden's up to something.
I don't know what.
ATTENTION
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY
We go from the back.
This should be close enough.
How will we know
if the ghost has gotten Prakasa?
- You got your phone?
- I do.
- Do you know Prakasa's number?
- No.
But I memorized it
from the Head Warden's phone.
Call him. If he picks up,
he's still alive.
Hello?
He's still alive.
Would he know it was you?
Nope, I hid my number.
Maybe he has to get angry first,
so his aura turns negative,
and then the ghost can kill him?
Can I borrow the phone?
This is his number?
Hey, doormats!
You should be robbing those bastards,
not guarding them!
We protect those who have money,
you dumb fucks.
Bullshit!
Why are you two following me here?
I can't fight!
I should track their auras!
What about you?
I'm gonna make Prakasa angry!
What's your plan?
- I'm not scared.
- KPK.
Those corrupt people are still criminals,
no matter how powerful.
KPK.
I get it.
Brilliant.
Hello?
Mr. Prakasa, remember me?
From the Corruption Eradication
Commission.
Remember last time, when I escorted you
to the Red-and-White building?
Still not satisfied with arresting me?
Just checking in on you.
How's life now that
everything's fallen apart?
Fallen apart?
My life's still great. Safer, even.
You? Careful you don't fail that
National Values "Test" again.
Fail, and you'll be hustling
as a seminar speaker.
An online seminar, no less.
Asshole.
Red!
Fuck
Keep going!
You're safe!
PRAKASA KITABUMING'S MISTRESS EXPOSED
Hi, besties of Intan Lidya!
Today, I'm gonna show you
my daily makeup routine.
My makeup.
You're so cool.
Prakasa, honey.
It's me, your baby, Intan.
I'm super stressed. I feel so alone.
But you got everything you wanted.
Exactly, honey, you gave me everything.
Bags, cars, trips, diamonds, all of it.
But, honey, I'm embarrassed
to be known as Prakasa's mistress.
I mean, you're just a man in prison now.
You're an idiot if you think
I'm just some man in prison.
And I hate stupid women.
Go find yourself a new sugar daddy.
Red!
Red!
What do we do?
Keep going!
Now what?
If you can't get rid of this ghost,
the ghost won't be the one killing us.
It'll be these motherfuckers!
What's next?!
We don't want chaos,
we're here to express our anger!
We're angry!
We came in peace. No weapons, no soldiers.
We're here to propose an idea.
Nothing more.
FROM PROTESTS TO PROJECTS,
YOUNG PRAKASA, FORMER ACTIVIST.
We're here purely for the people.
That includes me, my mother, yourself,
and all mothers out there.
Hello?
Remember me?
Who's this?
Already forgotten about me, huh?
Is this a joke? I'm hanging up.
I get it if you've forgotten.
You killed me.
But I'm sure you still remember my voice.
The one you used to hear
when you talked to yourself.
We used to talk about
what we could do for this country.
Yes, I'm you.
The younger you.
Lying bastard!
I just want to ask.
When exactly did we become like this?
When did a young man full of dreams
turn into a coward, forced to hide?
How did a man of dignity end up
with a life cursed by millions?
Shut up!
I have everything I ever wanted!
Everything?
A comfy chair in prison?
A fancy dining table that means nothing?
The spoiled kids we used to despise?
Prakasa, we are outcasts.
Was this our dream?
To become thieves in suits?
I'm not a thief!
I fought for all of this!
Fought?
I remember what we once told Mom.
"Mom, I want to be someone great.
Someone honorable."
"I want to make this country better."
Do we still believe that?
Or was it all just to make her happy
before we started stealing
from the people?
- She's gone now, Prakasa.
- Shut up.
If she were still here, wouldn't she cry
seeing what we've become?
Shut up! Bastard!
He's dead!
Prakasa is dead!
What else are you fighting for?
The ghost is gone.
Stop!
Traitor! Snitch!
Snitches don't deserve to live!
You will all die!
But first, you're going to watch
your friends burn!
And it's all your fault!
Water!
You bastards!
Why did you use water?!
Let me go, you bastards!
I'm the Head Warden!
Only five honest guards out of fifty?
Ten percent of Indonesia is
still some kind of hope, sir.
This is about the time
police sirens start kicking in.
But what for?
SIX MONTHS LATER
The pawn must be sacrificed,
just like the people.
Right.
So frustrating.
But a pawn can become something more.
If it makes it all the way to the end,
toward its dream, it can become the queen.
There you go.
So chess is like life?
- That's right.
- Yes!
I came to say goodbye.
He is finally free.
It's rare for an appeal to get
a final verdict this quickly.
The CCTV footage was pretty clear.
I wasn't even in my boss's office
when he got murdered.
It's weird that the footage
was missing back then.
It's CCTV. It only exists
when it's needed.
Right.
And you even got a taste of life in here.
That's right.
If you ever miss it, just come back in.
Yes.
Now, I see why that ghost clung to you.
You've got the most positive aura.
Golden.
What does it mean?
Inner peace. Super rare.
Well, I don't find myself
that peaceful inside.
Where are you heading after this?
Borneo, back to Nehea Forest.
Maybe the ghost's still with me,
so I can take it home.
- Such a good kid.
- Good.
Group hug!
Be safe out there.
Oh, yeah, you're getting out
next month, right?
If they don't extend my sentence.
But do you want to get out?
Of course I do.
See you outside, then.
See you.
It's okay to cry if you want to.
Take care.
Be kind, but don't be stupid!
Kiddo.
One got out.
- One got out.
- It's about time.
Come on.
You okay if I change your name?
It's okay. We're roommates now.
- What?
- His name.
- But I'm still uncircumcised.
- Relax.
- Still uncircumcised.
- Let me change the name too.
Listen.
An Arabic name.
KEEP THE PEACE TOGETHER
Action!
I can't dance.
Everybody can dance.
Action!
I can't dance.
Everybody can dance.
Action!
What?
Come on.
Everybody, quick, join the dance.
Come on.
Put your hands up. Go big.
Go big. Go down. Hey!
