HAUNTING HOURS
Respati.
My good boy.
Wake up, son.
Take care of the house, please.
Sweetheart.
Come on.
Mom?
Mom?
Dad?
Mom?
Dad?
Respati.
Oh my God!
Open up!
Who are you?
Go away! Leave!
Help me, son.
Son, help me.
This is your mother, son.
Mom...
- Son, help me.
- Mom.
Son, please help me.
Mom!
Respati.
Help me.
Dad?
- Mom?
- Son, help me.
- Respati! Help me, son.
- Mom!
- Help me!
- Mom!
Dad! Mom!
Dad! Mom!
Dad!
Dad! Mom!
Why?
Why didn't you die with them?
A mother has been found dead in her room
with strangulation marks around her neck.
She was found dead by her child
in the morning.
This is the second such case
of a body being found like this,
with another resident being discovered
in a similar condition.
Local police are still investigating
this shocking news.
Son, help me.
Help me.
Help me, son.
Isn't that Kanya?
I told you, Yu.
My instincts are always right.
I told you that Bagas hasn't moved on yet,
but you refused to believe me.
It's no use waiting for this kind of guy.
You should find someone else.
Someone like...
- What the heck?
- Stop fooling around!
Here. Thank you.
How's your insomnia?
- Have you seen this?
- Not yet.
They were found like this
even though nothing was odd
the night before.
From what I could find out,
they all had dreams about meeting
dead people on the previous nights.
You know that kind of myth, don't you?
- Good morning, everyone!
- Good morning, sir.
Okay, attention, please!
Today, we have a new student from Jakarta.
Please come in, Wulan.
Please introduce yourself
to your new friends.
I'm...
My name is Wulan. Nice to meet you.
Hi, Wulan.
You can sit over there.
- Thank you, sir.
- Of course.
Okay, let's continue our lesson from...
Why is she staring at you, Re?
Have you met her before?
Everyone, you need to understand
what exponents and logarithms are.
Regarding exponents,
which you learned about yesterday,
you must understand
their characteristics, functions, and...
HARAPAN HIGH SCHOOL
I've looked into the background
of that strange girl.
She had to leave her old school
because she often got possessed.
She disturbed other students.
She's a weird girl.
See!
She really doesn't want
to make any friends.
She's been alone
since she started going here.
Run! We need to hurry!
I'm going.
- What is it, Grandpa?
- Where are you?
I'm about to arrive at the hospital.
My class just finished.
Okay, hurry up then
so we won't be home late.
We have made an appointment
with Dr. Lesmana.
We don't want your insomnia to get worse.
How have you been feeling
these past few weeks, Re?
Why don't you say anything?
Answer him, grandson.
Your grandpa said
that you often wake up
several times at night?
Not just often, Doc.
Okay, I will give you a prescription
that might lessen the symptoms.
But you know
that it's not the root cause
of your problem, right?
But...
are you ready
to talk about it now?
No need, Doc.
Just get the dosage increased.
You should've listened
to what Dr. Lesmana said.
He's the expert.
I don't care if you don't want
to talk about it with me,
but you should talk to someone about
whatever you're feeling right now.
What's there to talk about?
About Dad and Mom?
Do you want me to talk about
how they died or what?
What's with the noise?
You're home, sir, with your grandson too.
- Dul.
- Yes, sir?
This is my grandson.
Dul's come here from my village.
From now on, he will help us
with the household chores.
We need someone
to help me around the house.
- Hey, wait.
- What now?
This is massage oil.
If Dr. Lesmana's prescription
doesn't work, use this.
What a delightful boy, right, sir?
Easy to talk with.
Enough with your sarcasm!
Oh my...
Calm down.
Take a deep breath.
The writing contest will help you all
improve your grades.
So once again, I expect you
to study hard for this.
How long have you been like this?
Could you
see what I saw?
There's something peculiar about you.
But I don't know why.
Peculiar?
What are you talking about?
Whatever you saw...
Just ignore it.
Sir?
Sir?
Sir?
Dina...
Please wake up, honey.
Dina.
What is this?
Where am I?
Who are you?
Why are you here?
Where am I?
You shouldn't be here.
Please tell me.
My little baby
Go to sleep
The scent of the flower
Will send you to sleep
It's dark already
-Go deep into your slumber
-Dina?
- Dina?
- The darkness of the night
You have to leave!
- Dina?
- I don't understand, ma'am.
Now!
- Dina!
- Will be a bother...
Dina!
Din...
A wife found her husband dead
in a shocking state
at their house last night.
She said
that she'd just arrived home after work
only to find her husband
in their bedroom lying dead.
The victim had the initials BA.
This is the third case with the same MO.
The police are still investigating...
What's that all about, Grandpa?
...if there's a possibility
that these murders were conducted
by the same person.
Tirta.
Your uniform!
Adi, your uniform!
Who's this?
I met this man on a bus yesterday.
I accidentally saw what was in his head.
His daughter was dead.
And last night, I...
I dreamed of him.
He was strangled by someone.
And?
And he was found dead today.
Um...
So what should I do about it?
I'm sure it's not a coincidence.
I need your help
to get to the bottom of it.
Now, Ta.
A QUALITY SCHOOL WILL PRODUCE
A KNOWLEDGEABLE GENERATION
- Re...
- Come on.
- Does that mean we're skipping school?
- Let's just go!
We'll come back at the second recess.
Come on.
SEYEGAN LOR STREEThat's the house.
Okay, I'm done here.
- Hey, where are you going?
- I'm going back to school.
- Come with me.
- No.
Excuse me.
- Excuse me.
- Please.
He left me!
My husband's dead.
My husband was killed by the demon!
My husband was killed by the demon!
Why did she say that?
Her husband was found in their bedroom
in a position like someone
who suffered from sleep paralysis.
And there was a strangulation mark
around his neck.
It's real.
She doesn't seem so crazy
when you know what really happened.
Let me go!
Re...
What were you chasing?
Hey!
It's so weird.
There was someone else in my dream
besides Bayu.
And I saw that person.
She was an old lady.
It's just a coincidence.
The dream realm is a dangerous place
if you're not careful.
Stop.
- This is...
- The dream realm.
A dimension where the souls rest
whenever we're asleep.
I thought you understood
supernatural stuff,
but you're just a wannabe
who searches Google for your theory?
I saw this in my dream.
Shit!
Only a few understand
about the dream realm.
Even so, they don't even know
how it works.
What I understand is
that not everyone
can retain their consciousness
in the dream realm like you.
How am I able to go there
and retain my full consciousness?
Why me?
Some people are born
with special abilities.
Some consider them a gift
while others think they're a curse.
What you saw was not a dream.
What happened there
also happened in this realm.
- What do you mean?
- You didn't dream of a murder.
You're the witness of Bayu's murder
in the dream realm.
Why did you skip school?
Your teacher called me.
He said you skipped school
and only came in after recess.
Grandson...
I don't want to see you like this.
I'm okay, Grandpa.
What do you mean you're okay?
You have a problem, Respati.
You changed after what happened.
And it's only gotten worse.
What if something bad happens to you?
Maybe that's just the way it is.
Respati!
Excuse me, Respati.
Yes?
I've finished my chores for today.
I was about to tell your grandfather
that I'm done, but he didn't answer.
Maybe he's asleep already.
- Okay.
- All right.
Excuse me, Respati.
I'm sorry if I'm crossing the line,
but
does that happen often?
Your arguments with your grandfather?
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
I understand that it's not easy
to live with a family.
Conflicts are prone to happen.
That's what happened to me too.
Excuse me.
Do you live
with an annoying old man as well?
Respati...
Respati...
I think even though sometimes
it's annoying,
we should still cherish our time
with our family.
Because
we never knew how long
we have left to be with them.
Right?
Goodness. Oh, Respati.
I apologize.
Okay, then. Please excuse me.
Yes.
Excuse me, Respati.
Have you tried that?
Does it work?
Well, it's better than
not using it at all.
Right?
Yes.
- Then I'm going.
- Okay.
Respati, it's a good oil.
It's the extract of a flower
called Nyai Malam (Lady of the Night).
People say the flower can cure
many kinds of diseases.
Okay, then, I'm going.
- Excuse me.
- Yes.
Respati... have nice dreams.
My little baby
Go to sleep
Dear?
- Atmo!
- The scent of the flower
Ma'am!
Will send you to sleep
Ma'am!
Go to sleep
Dear!
The scent of the flower
Will send you to sleep
You... only you...
can defeat her.
Nyai Malam. That's the key.
Nyai Malam? The flower?
You have to leave this place!
MYSTERIOUS DEATH CASE OCCURS AGAIN
I have a new finding.
Everyone who died,
including that old lady
that you saw on the screen,
they all came from the same village.
It's called Bajingjowo.
Are you serious?
Honestly, I don't know
if it's true or not.
- But...
- I'm sure of it.
It's not a coincidence, Ta.
Should we contact
the person who posted this?
I think we should contact her instead.
ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS VICTIM
FROM BAJINGJOWO VILLAGE FOUND
Are you sure this will work?
What kind of failure do you expect?
Well, you're not coming back,
for instance.
Or attacking me. Or Respati.
It's been a while since I last did it.
But as long as I have this necklace on,
no evil power can harm me.
What if that doesn't work?
Then you need to force me to wake up.
Cover my face with a cloth,
and then slap me, or punch me.
Or you can stab me
with a sharp object if you must.
But don't stab it too deep.
Are you serious?
It's okay.
Hey, what's wrong?
Calm down, Ta.
I'm sure this is safe.
Or do you want to wait outside?
Wulan!
I'm not Wulan.
Ma'am.
I'm so sorry.
But
are you the lady that I saw last night?
Were you from Bajingjowo?
If you and Giman want to stay safe,
find Mustika.
She's the only one who knows
how to kill Sukma.
Mustika?
Sukma?
But
how do I find Mustika, ma'am?
West side, on the riverbank.
She smells like Nyai Malam.
Respati! Wulan!
- What's going on here?
- It's Respati, Grandpa!
Respati.
I smell Bajingjowo people.
Who are you?
Where's Wulan?
No need to hurry. You're next!
No need to search for me.
I'll come to you next!
Wulan!
Tirta, help me!
Wulan!
What's going on here?
- Wulan...
- What's going on?
- Geez.
- Put her on the bed!
Lift her up.
So...
you can communicate with spirits?
Those victims...
You saw them.
In the dream realm.
I was just helping around, Grandpa.
I swear.
This is time for you to tell us
about Bajingjowo.
I know all the victims I saw on the TV.
You know them.
They all came from Bajingjowo.
That spirit said something
about Bajingjowo.
I also have the blood
of Bajingjowo, Grandpa.
I...
lived in Bajingjowo for 20 years.
I heard so many things
about the myths of that village.
One thing that I can remember
is that Bajingjowo people believe
that they're the descendants
of Nyai Gadung Melati,
the guardian of Mount Merapi.
And they also believe
that the power of Nyai Gadung Melati
is eternal.
The power is passed down
to some of her descendants.
Whoever has the blood
of Bajingjowo,
they might carry the power
of Nyai Gadung Melati with them.
Including us?
Well...
We might.
But don't worry about it.
Everything will be fine.
Wulan...
You know you don't have to
do this, don't you?
Then why are you helping me?
I just want to know more about
the dream realm.
If you know how the dream realm works,
you can do anything.
Maybe you can live
without nightmares forever.
What is your nightmare?
A life without my mother.
Lan, I'm sorry.
Hey, did you find it?
Oh my God...
Have some patience, will you?
There are a lot of houses
on the riverbank!
I got it.
This is just like the clues said.
On the west side of the river,
and she sells flowers.
Including Nyai Malam.
Should we try? After school?
Re.
Re, are you okay?
Are you okay?
Should we go
to Ms. Mustika's place tomorrow?
Don't force yourself.
It's okay, I'm all right. Let's go.
Re, don't force yourself.
What if someone dies today?
Don't you feel sorry for them?
The families of the deceased?
Let's go, Ta.
Are you sure this is the place?
This is where the mark is.
Is everything all right?
I have a bad feeling about this.
But that's the thing,
you know?
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Respati, wake up, son.
Mom...
Dad...
Mom.
Dad!
Mom!
Dad!
Son, I missed you.
I missed both of you.
Then let's go home together.
Let's go.
Wake up!
Respati, wake up!
Fight it, Respati!
You're the one that I'm looking for.
Who are you?
Calm down. Just calm down.
Calm down. Take a deep breath.
Calm down. Have a seat.
Calm down.
It's okay.
This lady helped you when you passed out.
Have a seat.
Calm down.
Have a seat, come on.
Respati...
I'm Mustika.
Finally, we met.
The woman in the dream realm...
Her name is Sukma.
Who is she, ma'am?
Sukma was a powerful witch
from Bajingjowo.
Excuse me, ma'am.
Everyone respected her.
All we knew was
that she lived with a little boy
who often helped her
and was just like her own son.
She always thought
that she was the reincarnation
of Nyai Gadung Melati.
Unfortunately,
in her search for knowledge
of the dream realm,
she had to sacrifice
her patients.
Ever since then,
Sukma was shunned.
There were lots of victims.
Go!
Go, go!
- Take her there!
- Let's go.
- Come on, let's just shackle her!
- Drag her!
Pull her!
Kick her!
Bring her inside.
Oh God!
Tightly.
Mom!
Mom!
- Mom!
- Everyone, get out.
Just leave her.
Get out!
- Let's go.
- Mom!
A few weeks after that,
she was found dead.
No one knew the cause.
No one had the guts to bury her body.
And a few days after that,
her body disappeared.
I believe
that Sukma wants to live
by taking power from other people
who have the blood
of Nyai Gadung Melati in their veins.
And I believe
that boy has something to do with this.
I'm doing this...
to enter the dream realm.
I pray for strength.
I think Sukma has found
what she's looking for.
I've been waiting for someone like you
for years.
The heir of Nyai Gadung Melati
who was born on the first day of the year.
Someone who has the power
to defeat Sukma.
How?
You have to...
behead Sukma in the dream realm.
Wait, no.
- It's too dangerous.
- Grandpa.
What if something bad happens to you?
I don't want to lose any more
of my family.
Respati.
Do you understand Javanese?
My father is from Jogja,
so I understand what happened last night.
A long time ago,
when I was little,
I used to hear voices in my head.
My mother called it a gift.
- Voices?
- Yes.
They weren't voices from this realm.
They might have been devils,
djinns, spirits...
Whatever you want to call them.
But I was just a kid.
I didn't know what it meant.
But I remember they told me
about a danger lurking.
Because I didn't want to go insane,
I decided to ignore them.
Until...
it happened.
My mother was mugged on her way home.
Ever since she died...
I haven't been able
to sleep peacefully, Re.
I understand, Lan.
I'm familiar with that feeling too.
I don't know what happened
to your parents, Re.
But you have a chance to help people,
and even to save them.
Don't let yourself regret things because
you decided to waste that chance.
Wulan.
Do you want to help me?
Defeating Sukma in the dream realm
won't be easy.
You're not strong enough
even with the power you have.
Is there any other way to do it?
You have to burn her corpse.
But the problem is,
no one knows where the body is, ma'am.
Is there anything I can do?
There's a ritual
that will release your full potential.
But we need someone
whose dream you can infiltrate.
I can do it, ma'am.
GRANDPA
Soon,
you'll enter the dream realm.
Whatever happens,
follow your instincts.
My little baby
Go to sleep
The scene of the flower
Will send you to sleep
It's dark already
Go deep into your slumber
The darkness of the night will be a bother
By aligning your heart and mind,
the dream realm will allow you
to manifest whatever you desire.
If you succeed,
you are ready to face Sukma, Respati.
Wulan...
Is this what you see
every time you fall asleep?
Come on.
Let's meet your mother.
How?
Ms. Mustika said
to follow my instincts.
Re.
This is the place
where they found my mother.
Do you know where she is?
That's my mom.
Whatever happens, follow your instincts.
Where do you think you're going?
Come here!
- Hey!
- Where are you going? Thief!
Thief!
Thief!
- Mom!
- Thief!
Mom!
- Mom.
- Wulan.
Mom!
Wulan!
Mom.
Mom.
Watch out! Move!
Move!
Move!
Look out! Move aside!
Re!
What is it?
Re.
Have you seen this news?
AN OLD WOMAN WAS FOUND DEAD
IN HER ROOM.
Shit.
It's not Sukma.
She didn't do this to her victims.
Then who did it?
Do you remember
that Ms. Mustika told us
about a boy who always helped Sukma?
If he found out about Ms. Mustika...
that means he knows about us, Re.
My little baby
Go to sleep
What's this?
The scent of the flower
Will send you to sleep
-It's dark already
-Wulan!
Ta!
Lan!
Wulan!
- Hey!
- Wulan! Wulan!
Wulan!
Help! Help us!
Shit!
Oh God!
Sir, please help!
I heard you want my head, good boy.
How could she possess Wulan?
Get out! Get out from Wulan's body!
On one condition.
You have to come with me.
Come at me if you dare!
How dare you?!
Ouch!
- Let's help them.
- Help me!
Stop, Lan!
- What is happening?
- What? Shit!
Lan!
Lan, wake up!
Get the chair!
Enough, Lan!
Shit.
Tie her hands!
Hurry, Pik!
Wake up, Lan!
Help!
Wulan!
Wulan!
Wulan!
What is happening?
Wulan...
Wulan...
Ta...
Ta, call the ambulance.
ADHINATA HOSPITAL
TREATING PATIENTS WITH EMPATHY
Wulan, I'm so sorry, I needed to...
It's okay.
You did the right thing.
The important thing is that
I'm still here and talking to you.
My little baby, go to sleep
The scent of the flower...
I always hear that song in my dreams.
"It's dark already.
Go deep into your slumber."
"The darkness of the night
will be a bother."
It sounds like a lullaby.
There's something I should check
in your room.
Are you really okay?
- Respati, I have finished my chores.
- Okay.
I'm leaving now, okay?
Do you know what this is?
It's a buhul.
Shamans usually use this to send curses.
Whoever put this here,
it must have invited Sukma
into your dream.
But how could the suspect sneak in
and plant it here?
- Abdul.
- Abdul.
Grandpa?
Grandpa!
Grandpa? Grandpa!
- Grandpa, wake up.
- Grandpa.
His head! Be careful!
Geez.
- Help.
- Grandpa!
Grandpa, wake up. It's Respati.
Grandpa, wake up.
It's Respati, Grandpa!
Grandpa! This is Respati, Grandpa!
Grandpa, wake up!
Re!
Do you still have Nyai Malam?
Ms. Mustika had a lot of it...
but we don't have time.
Grandpa!
Grandpa!
Let him go!
Let him go!
If you want him safe...
come with me.
- No need to be scared.
- Don't do this.
Come here, my good boy.
Come here.
Come here.
Whatever happens,
follow your instincts.
Let's go, Grandpa!
Come on, Grandpa.
Come on, Grandpa!
Stab yourself!
Stab yourself!
- Re!
- Respati!
- Respati!
- Re!
- Re!
- Re!
Respati!
Grandpa...
Wake up, Grandpa!
Wake up, Grandpa!
Grandpa, wake up! You're all that I have!
Your grandfather is losing
consciousness rapidly.
But don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him.
Please.
I was always worried
that this
might happen again.
What do you mean?
My parents...
they died because of me.
My dad's car broke down on his way home.
They...
They were robbed and killed.
There was something wrong
with his car before they left.
I said I didn't want to go.
Because I...
didn't feel like it.
Now...
I always wonder whether
if I'd come along,
I could have done something to prevent it.
If something happens to Grandpa...
it will be because of me.
This isn't over yet.
Your grandfather is still with us.
That means he's still fighting Sukma
in the dream realm.
We can't stop here.
Your grandfather needs you.
But if I can't enter Grandpa's dream,
how can I help him?
Can this help?
Abdul used this to invite Sukma
into the dreams of her targets.
If I can't enter Grandpa's dream...
maybe I can take Sukma into my dream.
I can take her on.
But I need your help, Ta.
Grandpa gave me Abdul's address.
You need to check that place.
I'm sure you will find Sukma's body there.
I'm coming with you.
Wait!
If something happens to you,
I won't be able to forgive myself, Lan.
Re...
I'm going to be fine.
Trust me.
Tirta will be there with me.
Tirta needs me.
And your grandfather needs us.
Okay?
We haven't got much time.
- Did you get the direction?
- Yes.
PATIENT'S IDENTITY
NAME/AGE/BORN/DIAGNOSIS
Dear.
Should we order a taxi?
No need, it's okay.
What if something bad happens?
It's okay, trust me.
- I'll hold you to that.
- Of course.
It's done.
Mom, Dad.
I'm coming with you.
- Let's go.
- This is kind of surprising.
- Let's go.
- Okay, then. Let's go.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
Ta...
Turn left over there!
I'm turning left.
It says the place is here.
Tirta, be careful!
Ta.
Shit!
Ta!
Lan,
we need to burn this corpse.
Tirta!
Wait. Wait here.
Shit!
Ta!
All of you need to understand!
I don't have anything
against the deceased,
especially Giman.
I do all of this
for the one I love.
The woman I consider my own mother.
I've been looking for a way
to live with her.
With Mom.
And soon,
my dream will come true!
You killed Ms. Mustika!
That crazy old lady
was going to ruin my plan!
Now...
who's ready to be slaughtered first?
Take it easy, son.
Turn right over there.
Turn around, son. Hurry.
No, Dad. We need to go straight.
We should've turned over there.
Over there!
Ta!
This is none of your business, good boy.
Ta... Tirta!
Good boy.
Now, only one of us will live.
It's either you or me!
Shit!
I'm sorry, my good boy.
I apologize!
Respati...
- Ti...
- Grandpa!
Respati...
Ta... Tirta!
- He...
- Tirta!
This is for Grandpa!
Grandpa!
- Grandpa.
- Yes?
Your breakfast.
What's that? Mung bean congee?
- Here it is.
- Wow...
This is quite surprising, kid.
POLICE CAPTURE A MUTILATOR
According to my observations,
I think your insomnia is getting better.
Thank God.
How do you feel now that
you can dream peacefully?
- It's nice.
- Right?
Yes. It must be fun. Sleep has to be...

Go to sleep
The scent of the flower
Will send you to sleep
It's dark already
Go deep into your slumber
No matter where you go,
I will find you.
No matter what.
