Morning news.
A 30-year-old woman with initials MT,
was found dead from suicide.
MT was previously under arrest
For allegedly slashing all three
of her own children's throats.
Four-year-old TL, two-year-old CT,
and a six-month-old toddler GT's lives
All ended in a gruesome death.
The cold-blooded murder by MT was carried
out at around 10:00 a.m. Western Time
While her husband was not at home.
The incident
- I'll see you later.
- Bye.
MR. HAJJ
Miss.
Can I get two chickens, please?
Yes, Ma'am.
- Two chickens?
- Yes.
Take this.
There are two chickens in it already.
It's 80,000.
Here's the change. 20,000.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Peace be upon you, Miss Ranti.
Peace be upon you too, Sir.
I'd like to pick up
my order from yesterday.
Oh, it's ready
Please wait.
Ti.
Did you see a plastic bag on the table?
It was for Mr. Hajj's order.
How should I know?
You took care of all the orders.
Yeah, but I put the plastic bag here,
with his name on it.
It was a red plastic bag.
You didn't give it to
somebody else, did you?
Are you accusing me?
How should I know it was booked?
And you didn't tell me.
You should have said something to me.
Mr. Hajj, can you wait a little longer?
We need to mutilate the chickens first.
Because when we tried to do it yesterday,
they refused.
You're funny, Miss Gita.
Yes, of course. I'll wait.
How are you, Miss Siti?
I'm fine, thank you.
How far along are you?
Seven months.
Thank God.
I admire you, Miss Siti.
You're still working in the market
even with your pregnancy.
That's cool.
Mrs. Dian's daughter-in-law.
I have no choice.
I can't just sit around,
if I don't want to be called lazy.
But when I tried to help a bit, a tiny
mistake would be the end of the world.
Who are you talking about, Ti?
I'm preparing his order.
But still, I don't like
the tone of your voice.
What do you mean?
I didn't know the plastic bag
was intended for someone else.
Now let's put you in my shoes.
Do you like being accused?
Gita.
I have a suggestion.
If you live with two in-laws
Treat them equally.
It's normal if they disagree
with each other sometimes.
Yes, Mr. Hajj.
What time are you gonna leave, Daddy?
Are you gonna wait
till I get home from school?
I don't make the sailing schedule.
When will you come back home?
I'm still at home. Why do you want to know
when will I come back home?
Because
I will be sad if
you keep leaving me alone.
But you have Mommy. Right?
You have Grandma and Auntie Gita.
You have Uncle, Auntie. So many people.
But you won't be here.
Oh, well
Your wife has left the house
early in the morning to earn money.
And you just wake up?
I got home late last night.
Where were you?
Working. Earning money.
Doing what?
Cockfighting. You know what I do.
That's not a real job, Bayu.
Rocky is my investment.
I can get five million if he wins.
He did win that much once.
Bowo, Bayu.
What's going on in here?
Ask him. He likes to bug me.
No breakfast on the table?
Peep, peep, peep, peep
The chicks are walking and peeping
Peep, peep, peep, peep
The chicks are walking and peeping
There are six chicks walking
Take away one
The rest are dead
But why, Grandma?
They're all dead
Because the mother
forgot to make breakfast.
- Mom.
- Be quiet.
We bought you breakfast from the market.
People were waiting in line.
We can't just run home.
I'm sorry, Mother.
But we didn't have time to prepare
breakfast before leaving to the market.
And I'm also pregnant.
And I thought Ranti
already made breakfast.
What do you want for breakfast?
I bought fried eggs,
tempe stir-fry and veggies stir-fry.
Which one do you like?
I'll eat anything you give me.
You bought them at the market?
They all taste bland.
In that case, starting tomorrow
I'll cook for you.
- Take the plate first.
- It's not about who's cooking.
But it's about her duty
as a wife and a mother.
Yes, Mom. I understand.
But we have all the food.
So why don't we have breakfast. Okay, Mom?
You don't understand, Gita.
You're still single.
When you have your own family
Then you'll understand.
Don't be like her.
I didn't raise you up like that.
As a housewife, you have to serve
your husband and his family.
I know, Mom.
But we were so busy this morning.
Besides selling raw chicken,
we have to precook them too.
No matter how busy you are,
you should make time
To do chores at home.
You're so pretty.
- Study hard, okay?
- Okay.
- Bye, Mom.
- Bye.
I'll see you later.
Take care.
She's an independent girl
Even though she has a disability.
Why does Gita take Nina to school?
Because I have to drive Bowo.
But Nina's going to be picked up
by her mother, right?
It's gonna be Gita again.
'Cause right after I drop off Bowo,
I have to deliver the precooked chicken.
If it takes too long,
I don't want Nina to wait.
Mom.
Goodbye, Mom.
Bowo.
How long are you going to be offshore?
A month if everything goes smoothly.
- Take good care of yourself, okay?
- Will do.
- This is for you.
- Thank you.
Bye, Mom.
- You're in charge, Bayu.
- Okay.
- Take care.
- Hang on.
You too.
That's it?
But Siti is going to give birth
any day now.
Here you go.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- No problem. Bye, everybody.
- Safe trip.
- Take care.
- Will do.
Are you ready?
Let me carry them for you.
Bayu borrowed half of the money.
Siti is going to give birth.
They don't have any money.
I feel bad for them.
Do you still have money in savings?
I do.
I've saved enough
from selling precooked chicken.
Although your mother never liked it
that I have a side job.
I just don't understand.
But I can't seem to please your mother.
She didn't mean it.
Not only her.
Siti too.
And I thought I've worked so hard
to help your family.
I go with them
to sell chicken at the market.
I do chores at home.
But she still blames me for everything.
But Bayu can just sit around,
and she doesn't say anything.
What do you want? Do you want to move out?
I don't know.
If we want to move out,
where do we have to live?
Exactly.
I feel much better if you and Nina
can stay with them.
There are other people
to look after Nina too.
If you're not at home, Nina will be
with someone at home, that's all.
But if they blame me
for something I didn't do
Can you at least defend me?
Why didn't you say something?
It hurts my feelings
To be called an irresponsible mother.
Calm down.
I'll defend you.
Here it is.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
How much?
Yes.
Come on!
Yeah!
Come on!
Rocky!
Two, Sir!
Come on!
How can we pay it?
It's okay, Mother.
Oh God.
It's okay.
Yes.
Mother?
Is this what you call being a good mother?
Ti?
Excuse me, Ma'am.
I'm sorry.
Where's Nina?
Sis, I'm so sorry.
Nina got hit by a car.
I was late to pick her up. I forgot.
Please forgive me, Sis.
Doctor.
What is my daughter's condition?
She's in critical condition.
She got hit pretty bad.
We have to do a craniotomy
And do the best we can.
Doctor.
Please, Doctor.
Please do anything to save her life.
Please save her life, Doc.
Please stay strong, Ma'am.
Stay strong, Ma'am.
Sis
Sis.
- Gita Nina, Gita
- Calm down, Sis.
Tina!
Tina!
Tina!
I know you haven't eaten all day, right?
Here.
Eat it.
You can pay for it later.
When she's all better.
If she's getting better.
She's definitely getting better.
I know how you feel.
It's not easy
To expect good news
from this kind of place.
But you have to have faith
That your daughter is going to get better.
How do you know
That it's my daughter?
I can hear people praying in this place.
I'm kidding.
But as a mother
You can't give up.
Think about your daughter.
You have to have faith
There must be
A solution for all your problems.
But the doctor said
The chances are slim.
Well, help doesn't necessarily
come only from the doctors.
If there's another way
Would you like to try?
Only if you believe.
Who is that lady, Sis?
What's wrong, Siti?
Where's Gita?
Is she still at the market?
I wish.
I went alone to the market.
And it was a busy day.
Gita is with Ranti at the hospital.
They said Nina's
condition is getting worse.
Oh, my God
Yes.
It was her own fault.
She should've listened to you.
I just can't believe it.
Why she would rather deliver the order
than pick up her child at school?
Have you talked to your brother?
Not yet.
There's no connection
in the middle of the sea.
Right?
The doctor said
Nina has to undergo a brain surgery
Immediately.
I only have ten million in cash.
Plus a car,
if I can sell it pretty quickly.
HEAD SURGERY COSBut the cost
TOTAL COSit's through the roof, Mother.
I don't know what to do.
And I still can't reach Bowo.
But I don't have any savings, Ranti.
How about we sell the house?
We can still buy a smaller house.
That's out of question, Gita.
Do you think selling a house is easy?
I'd rather you move out of this house.
I'm sorry, Sis.
Mother.
It's out of the question.
But it's urgent.
We need the money
for other things too, Gita!
Are you out of your mind?
Forgive me, Sis.
I understand your situation.
But we need money for other things too.
There's Mother's monthly health check ups.
Siti needs money to give birth.
- Enough.
- Think about it!
Enough!
Can we have a civilized conversation?
It's not an easy decision to make.
We have to wait for Bowo's opinion.
And then together we'll find the solution.
But he cannot be reached.
Nina's life is on the line.
But we have to wait for Bowo.
My daughter
Might not survive
Without the urgent surgery.
But the doctor said
She still has a chance
To survive.
Yes, but it's very slim, only ten percent.
I know it's a small chance
But there's a chance she'd survive, Siti.
The number you are calling is not active
or out of the service area.
Please forgive my family.
There's nothing I can do either.
Let's hope Bowo reads your message soon.
You came at the right time.
It's Tuesday Kliwon.
Night of Anggoro Kasih.
Night full of passion.
Trust me.
Right after the wedding ceremony
Your daughter
Will get better.
He will take care
Of everything that you need.
And
Your life
Is going to be
Much easier.
Repeat after me.
In this night full of passion
In this night
full of passion
I will be giving you
I will be giving you
My body and my soul to you.
My body and my soul to you.
I am your bride.
I am your bride.
Focusing the heart
In the path
To the virtuous
Your breath wanders around
On
The winding sky
Drifting in dreams
With the breeze
Hit by
The wave
The will to stand up
To run fast
The taste of blood
Longing for the body of a soul
The form of life
The shape of senses
The unstoppable
Flow
After tonight
You still have to do a few things
To keep your daughter alive.
I want you to make offerings of
A rooster's head and its liver.
Just like this.
Bury everything on this plate
around your house
Every week as an offering.
Starting
Tonight.
Polo.
John.
Rocky.
Rocky?
Rocky?
Rocky?
Ti.
Ti.
Did you see Rocky?
I haven't seen him since morning.
How should I know?
That's your chicken.
You're the one who takes care of them.
Bayu, Siti.
Yes, Mother?
Rocky?
Why are you bickering?
Why don't you get ready
to go to the hospital?
Are you still going to the hospital?
Of course. I haven't visited Nina.
Can we do it another day?
I'm so upset right now.
I was thinking about taking Rocky
to a cockfight, but he's gone.
Can we go to the hospital later?
And I still have chores to do.
Since I practically have to do
everything here alone.
Gita and Ranti are still there with Nina.
Grandma!
Grandma, I'm all right now!
You don't believe me?
Look.
See?
Grandma
Grandma is so surprised
that you are okay now.
But Grandma is so glad!
How did it happen?
She can walk normal now?
Mom said it's a miracle, Auntie.
How about we make special food
to celebrate Nina's recovery.
- Agreed!
- Come on.
- Let's go.
- Let's go.
Okay.
Let's go, Nina.
Today, you'll help me in the kitchen.
- Let's go!
- Okay, Auntie.
Can you believe a miracle like that?
I think Ranti did black magic.
I don't know about that,
but let's just be thankful.
The house is off the market now.
Let's go inside. I'm hungry.
Come on.
Ranti.
Sis?
Sis?
What are you doing in the dark?
You startled me, Sis.
We're waiting for you to cut the tumpeng.
We're all at the dining table.
Why do you block all the lights?
It's still sunny outside.
Why do you need to be in the dark?
It's claustrophobic.
Are you going to pick up Nina?
Where's Mother?
Is she still sleeping?
Why don't you say something?
What's wrong, Auntie?
- Let's go inside.
- Okay.
There are six chicks walking
Take away one to leave five
There are five chicks walking
Take away one to leave four
Peep, peep, peep, peep
The chicks are walking and peeping
Peep, peep, peep, peep
The chicks are walking and peeping
There are four chicks walking
Take away one to leave three
Peep, peep, peep, peep
The chicks are walking
Git.
Don't you feel it's strange
After Nina returned from the hospital
Your sister loves to sit in the dark?
Hey.
This afternoon
I saw her
I saw two Rantis.
One inside the house,
and the other one was outside with Nina.
You mistook her for someone else.
Do you think she has a doppleganger?
Aren't you curious about her?
Curious about what?
Let's not talk about nonsensical stuff.
Listen?
Why is she taking a bath at night?
That's strange.
Sis, there's nothing wrong
with taking a bath at night.
Now, focus on cleaning the chickens.
Ti.
Siti?
Can you make me some noodles?
I'm hungry.
Okay?
Thank you.
Ow.
Ow.
Stop it.
Ow.
Gotcha.
Ow.
It's gonna be a good topic
for everybody in the market.
Hey, Ranti.
Did you just take a bath?
You're soaking wet.
That's her sister.
- Peace be upon you, Mr. Hajj.
- Peace be upon you too.
Here's your order, Sir.
Thank you.
People love to gossip about something new.
They're talking about someone
taking a bath at night and laughing.
They're creating a rumor.
Hey!
Sis
Ranti! It hurts!
What's wrong with you? Sis!
Yes.
I spread the video.
What's wrong with that?
Why are you holding a knife?
Are you going to kill me
in front of those people?
It is a strange thing to do, Ranti!
Tell the truth!
You're hiding something, right?
I recorded it for proof.
I want people to see that you're a freak!
You are
Over the line.
You're an ungrateful woman, Siti!
Stop it, Ranti!
What do you want?
You want to kill me?
Do you have the nerve to do that?
Sis! Ranti! Please, don't do it.
Please Don't do it, Sis.
Calm down. Put down the knife, Sis.
Calm down.
Calm down.
Ti.
Ti.
Make me some noodles.
I'm hungry.
Ranti, you're startling me!
Sis?
Sis?
Sis Sis!
What are you doing?
Your noodles are ready.
Bayu.
Honey.
Wake up, Honey.
It's Ranti
Ranti?
Wake up, Sis. We have to go to the market.
You just got home?
Bayu.
Can you wake Siti up?
I don't want to be late to the market.
Okay, okay
Ti.
Ti.
Wake up, Ti. It's time to go to work.
Ti?
Siti?
Ti?
What's wrong?
Where's Siti?
I don't know.
I'm going to bed.
I'm tired!
Bayu, do you know where Siti is?
Did she go to her parents' house?
She might be.
Maybe she's upset.
After fighting with Ranti
about a video she posted.
It should be Ranti who's looking for Siti.
Ranti.
Why did you have a fight with Siti?
People at the market told me about it.
Don't embarrass us.
It was Siti who made fun of Ranti.
Now excuse us.
Ranti and I have to go to the market
And drop Nina off at her school.
We'll ask around for her
once we get to the market.
She might have gone there before us.
No, don't do it.
Don't let anybody in the market know
that Siti is missing.
We have to search for her on our own.
I don't want people talking about us.
Shit!
Let's go.
Siti?
Siti?
Siti?
Sit
Oh, no
Oh, no!
Nina, I have to go get the chicken.
Okay, Auntie.
Help me
Do you want to take a bath with Mommy?
Nina?
Nina?
What is it?
Can I sleep in your bed tonight,
Auntie Gita?
Sure, okay.
Let's go. Come, Sweetheart.
You're the reason she's dead.
From the day of the wedding
The demon is living inside you.
He entered your house
And he defends you
Because you are his bride.
Every person who dares to hurt you
The demon will defend and avenge you.
Won't your husband do the same
if someone harms you?
But I don't want
Any more death in my family, Ma'am.
Please, Ma'am
There's nothing more I can do.
You are married to him
for the rest of your life, Ranti.
And you chose to sign the contract
With him.
I just don't understand.
But I can't seem to please your mother.
But if they blame me for something,
can you at least defend me?
Why didn't you say something?
It hurts my feelings
To be called an irresponsible mother.
Stop!
Let's start the fight.
Best of three. Three minutes straight.
- Roosters ready?
- Ready!
- Fight!
- Let's go!
Come on!
Three?
Alright!
Sit?
Siti?
Sit?
Sit?
Siti?
Shit!
Shit!
Sit?
Siti?
Sit?
Siti?
Sit?
Siti?
Sit?
- What?
- Your chicken is dead, Bay.
Shit.
My child
Siti?
Where's your mother?
Where's your mother, Nina?
- Where's your mother?
- Don't hurt her!
Calm down!
Mom!
- Sis
- Ranti.
Why did you kill Siti?
- And my baby!
- Please, calm down.
Do you see this?
I know this is your shirt!
Tell me this is your shirt!
Eat your shirt!
- Why did you kill Siti?
- Calm down. Calm down.
- Why?
- Calm down! Calm down!
Enough!
Let's go.
Bay.
You have to bury
Siti's body in the back yard
So nobody would know.
"So nobody would know", Mom?
- How could you.
- It's not what you think.
But you don't want
people to talk about Siti.
Let it just be our family secret.
Did you really kill Auntie, Mom?
Nina
How could you?
Nina, Mommy
Don't worry, Sis. I'll take care of her.
Nina?
Ranti!
Ranti!
Ranti?
Ranti!
Ranti! Ranti!
Ranti?
Sis? What is it, Sis?
What's going on?
Sis!
- Ranti!
- Ranti, what is it?
Sis, how did Bayu die?
Ranti!
Sis!
Sis!
Open the door, Sis!
What were you doing there?
How did Bayu die, Sis?
Answer me, Sis!
What are you hiding from us?
Tell me that you didn't make them die!
Enough
Why, Sis?
- Enough
- Open the door, Sis.
Enough
Enough!
Between all of you
Only you, Gita
Only you
Who I love most in this family.
But now, please.
Don't make me angry, Gita.
Please
Enough, Gita Enough
Don't make me angry.
You don't have to go to the market today.
Nina can stay at home too.
We don't know what happened.
Do these incidents
have anything to do with Ranti?
Are you sure
We shouldn't ask for help from Mr. Hajj?
Maybe the day after tomorrow
Your brother will come home.
Let's wait for Bowo to come home.
Mom.
We should find help.
But what if people know about their death?
Do you still care about
what people are gonna say about us?
Only four people are still alive, Mom.
What if something happens to one of us?
Nina.
Come here.
Don't go there.
Peace be upon you, Ranti.
Peace be upon you too.
It's a pleasant surprise
To see you here.
Please come in.
Gita.
Can you please get a glass of water?
Yeah, my wife has been asking.
She wants to order chicken from you.
But Gita said
You don't feel well.
I am.
I have a headache.
Can I pray for you?
I seek refuge in Allah
from the accursed Satan.
Allah, I seek refuge with You from
the punishment of Hellfire and the grave
Allah, we ask You for safety in religion
and well-being in the body
Amen, O Allah.
I hope you get well soon,
and can get back to work again.
Don't forget to pray.
Ask for protection from Allah.
Will do.
You too, Sir.
Don't forget
To ask protection from Him.
In the name of Allah,
the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
except with Allah.
Allah is great!
My goodness
Oh, my.
It's broken.
If you feel unsafe
I want you all to pray.
There is nothing that can't be solved
With the power of prayers.
Excuse me. Peace be upon you.
Peace be upon you too, Mr. Hajj.
Stay out of this.
What's wrong, Gita?
Nothing, Mom.
Mr. Hajj said there's
nothing wrong with her.
But her condition is getting worse.
I saw it myself
Ranti was there when Bayu was killed.
Siti always said
Ranti's acting strange.
She loved to laugh alone.
Then Siti was dead.
Her body didn't look like
it was a natural death.
Are you accusing your sister
of killing them?
Brother
Ranti wouldn't have the heart to do that.
You can't just accuse someone
without proof, Gita.
Dad.
Mom has changed.
Now I'm afraid of her.
Since I recovered
I think Mom has changed.
Is it because of me?
No.
You did nothing wrong.
Ran.
It's me, Ran.
Open the door, Ran.
I won't ask you anything.
Let's just talk.
FEBRUARY
You
Can't
Come in.
I told you.
Ranti is behaving strangely now.
How come she's not letting
her own husband enter the room?
I'm just afraid
If anything happens to our family.
Did you see Ranti's condition?
I'm concerned about her well being.
Don't worry. I'll find the way.
Ran?
Ranti.
I can't turn on the light, Grandma.
Here, give it to your mother.
Nina.
Nina
Can you help Mommy?
Please.
Unlock this.
Don't you want to set me free?
Your father is mean. He chained Mommy.
He lied when he said he loves Mommy.
Nina.
Nina, don't you love Mommy?
Why do you look like that?
I miss the old you.
Don't cry.
Pretty girls don't cry.
See, it's still Mommy.
Unlock the chain, Honey.
Please unlock it for me. Okay?
Please.
Unlock the chain!
Mother.
Come here, Baby.
Unlock the chain.
It should be you who is chained.
Do you love your grandma, Nina?
You know Grandma is always mean to Mommy!
Nina!
Close the door, Nina. Close the door!
Nina!
When I was in the hospital
I remember seeing Ranti talking
to a lady in the hall.
She sells rice. I don't know her.
Maybe she's connected to all of this.
Let's try to find that lady.
She might know something.
Nina
It's dark in here.
I'm scared.
Peep, peep, peep, peep
The chicks are walking and peeping
There are only
How many chicks are left, Honey?
The chick is not dead yet!
Why didn't you eat the food?
Because you forgot the emping crackers.
You know how I love emping.
I'll go get them for you, Mom.
There are
Four chicks left
Tonight they will all die
All die.
Yes, Mom?
We've had no power since morning.
Go home!
- I see.
- Me and Nina are worried about Ranti.
Mom?
Grandma?
Grandma!
Grandma?
Where's the emping?
Mom?
Nina?
Mom!
Mom!
- Gita? What is it, Gita?
- Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
Nina!
Gita, get to the back! Find Nina!
Mom
Nina!
Nina!
Nina!
Sis.
Sis
Sis
Nina
Sis
Nina?
Nina, where are you, Honey?
Nina?
Nina?
Where are you, Sweetie?
Wake up, Ran
I'm your husband
She is
No longer your wife.
She's my bride.
I'm your husband, Ran.
Honey?
Daddy!
Daddy!
I hate you, Mom!
Look at your daughter, Sis.
You don't love me anymore.
You don't love us anymore.
You are wicked, Mommy!
- I want my Mommy back.
- Look at your daughter, Sis.
Wake up, Sis.
I'd rather be sick again and have no legs.
Just take my legs!
I want my mommy back.
Peep, peep, peep, peep
The chicks are walking and peeping
Peep, peep, peep, peep
The chicks are walking
Mom
There are four chicks walking
Please, come back to us.
I don't want to see you like this.
I love you.
I don't want to see you like this.
I miss the old you.
You used to love us all.
I don't want to live without you.
I want to be with you always.
Please forgive me, Mommy.
I'd rather be sick again.
And not be able to walk.
