Minati. Minati!
SUZZANNA IN
KLIWON FRIDAY NIGHEncoded by Pahe.in
The disturbances come and go.
Sometimes it's the sound of a car
honking its horn or the wind outside.
But whatever it is, it breaks my
concentration when I'm trying to write.
Whenever it happens,
your anxiety is almost
too much to handle.
As if death itself is waiting for
you around the corner, right?
It's what they call writer's block.
It's all because of the
book you're working on.
When you're writing, your
imagination becomes over active.
I like writing mysteries.
Am I going crazy, doctor?
No, you're not crazy, Miss Ayu.
Then what is it?
You may be suffering from
something called agoraphobia.
What's that?
Fear and anxiety resulting from
prolonged concentration.
It might also be related to
something from a past life.
Trauma from a past life can
disrupt the harmony of your soul.
Clear some space in your mind.
The key to healing is to take it easy.
Free yourself from stress and tension.
You are now strolling
through a green field.
You're wrong about that, sorry.
Miss. Miss Ayu.
-You have a guest. It's Mr. Anton.
-Oh, okay.
Hello. Oh, there you are.
I've called three
times, but no one picked up.
What's going on?
I'm sorry, sir. I unplugged the phone.
Miss Ayu doesn't want to be disturbed
by calls from her fans.
Miss Ayu needs peace and quiet.
Oh, right. What did the doctor say?
-You can go.
-Okay.
-Excuse me.
-Yes?
Take these with you.
Please excuse me.
Hey.
Why the long face?
Is something wrong?
I need to find a
quiet place to write.
Where?
You mean out of town?
-Ayu.
-Yes?
I've known you for so long.
As an author, but also as a friend.
But I still can't understand you.
You're so cold to me.
Anton, you've helped me a lot.
And I really appreciate that.
That's not what I mean. I'm serious.
I want to marry you.
You're not my lover,
you're my best friend.
Well, looks like a dead end.
This is as far as we can go.
How about we continue on foot?
Okay!
Come on.
Be careful.
-Wait a second.
-Come on.
There we go.
-Pose.
-What?
I want to get a picture.
Okay?
Show me a smile.
Perfect.
That felt like an earthquake.
Hey, look at that house.
Ayu?
Why are you zoning out?
What's the matter?
I feel like I know this house.
I think I saw it in a dream.
Anton.
Someone is waving at us.
Let's go see who it is.
Looks like nobody's home.
Hey, does it smell
like incense in here?
It smells like danger to me.
Ayu.
We're trespassing, Ayu.
We might get shot.
Look at that. I guess birds are
the only occupants of this house.
Anton. Anton!
There's some weird stuff in this place.
Well, do you still want
to meet the owner?
I bet the neighbors can
point us in the right direction.
Okay, let's go.
-Good afternoon, sir.
-Hello.
-What brings you here?
-Excuse us.
We're looking for the owner
of the house by the lake.
What for?
And who are you anyway?
This is Ayu Trisnaningrat.
She's an author.
My name is Anton.
I'm an executive at
Soraya Jaya Publishing House in Jakarta.
Miss Ayu thinks that house would
be a good place to write her next book.
I guess that's a decision
that should be made by Mr. Raden
Ngabei Aryo Tejo himself.
Please come in.
-Please wait here.
-Okay.
Sir, ma'am, he's waiting
for you in the next room.
Thank you, sir.
Let's go.
Right this way.
Good afternoon, sir.
Awe.
This is Anton.
And this is Ayu Trisnaningrat.
Sir? Are you okay?
Should we call a doctor?
No need. He'll be fine.
Just leave your number on
the table and we'll get in touch.
Alright, thank you.
This is my business card.
-Welcome.
-Thank you.
-Welcome to our house.
-Thank you for letting me stay here.
I hope you like it here. By the way,
this is Mr. Ardan, he works here.
Mr. Ardan?
Come in.
-Excuse me, Mr. Tome.
Mes?
Where's the bathroom?
The closest one is in
the bedroom right there.
I'll be right back.
-Make yourself comfortable.
-Thank you.
-Right this way.
-Thank you.
Anton?
Does Ayu really want
to live here alone?
Yes.
-She's not scared?
-Oh, no.
You know how she is.
Strong-willed. Stubborn.
There's no stopping her, right?
Ayu?
Ayu, Mr. Sulastomo is leaving.
I'll be right there.
Sorry, ma'am.
I can't leave my master
alone for too long.
I should go.
-Mr. Tomo?
-Yes?
Please tell him I said hello.
I'll make sure to do that.
Our house is always open to you.
Just in case you need any help.
-Thank you so much.
-You're welcome.
-Thank you, Mr. Tomo.
-No problem.
-See you around.
-Bye.
Okay, let's help Ayu unpack.
Okay!
-We're done here, Ayu.
-Okay.
Good luck with the writing.
I'm going to miss you.
I'll miss you too. Be good.
Bye.
-Bye, Ayu!
-See you later.
-Bye!
-Good luck, Ayu!
THE WOMAN IN WHITE
Mr. Ardan?
Wait a minute.
How did you get in here?
All the doors are locked.
I have spare keys to all
the doors in this house.
Do you know what
broke the window?
Probably a ghost.
-Is that all?
-Oh, yes.
Wow, Miss Ayu.
I didn't know you
could ride a motorbike.
We use it for work around the estate.
You can use it if you want.
Thanks. By the way,
can I borrow your phone?
Yes, of course.
There you go.
-May I speak to Dr. Sukaton?
-This is he.
-Is that you, Ayu Trisna?
-Yes, doctor.
How is it up there in the mountains?
Doctor...
I had a weird experience.
Last night, I was disturbed by
ladies with demonic faces.
It was terrifying.
Maybe it was just a hallucination.
Demons don't disturb us humans
as long as we are close to God.
I'm worried, doctor.
What if those visions
come back?
What am I supposed to do?
Think clearly.
Don't let your imagination run wild.
It's my job to let my
imagination run wild.
I'm your patient.
I've spent a lot on
my sessions with you.
But it's not working.
What can I do?
Just hang in there.
As long as you remain calm,
you'll be able to face your fears.
Really, doctor?
All you do is prescribe me anxiety
pills and tell me to stay calm.
Hello? Hello?
Thanks for nothing.
Who's there?
Hello?
Mr. Ardan?
Did Mr. Ardan do this?
Hey, Mr. Ardan?
Yes?
May I speak with you for a moment?
-What do you want?
-Why don't we talk inside?
Is it that important?
Have a seat.
Would you like coffee
or tea, Mr. Ardan?
Don't bother yourself.
I've got my own drink.
Just get to the point.
What is it you want to ask?
Is it true that this house is haunted?
What do you mean?
I've been seeing weird
stuff around the house.
Like what?
Someone drew all over
the pages I'd written.
Are you accusing me?
It's not this house that's weird.
It's you.
I'm sorry, I don't mean to accuse you.
No woman in her right mind
would choose to live here alone.
Not unless she had
some secret agenda.
I write mysteries.
I like spooky stuff.
So you really want to know who I am?
You also want to know about Karsiman
and Raden Ngabei Aryo Tejo?
Yes.
But I'm just a writer, not a cop.
Do you mind?
It makes no difference
to me what you are.
You must leave this place at once.
And here I thought
we were getting along.
Why are you kicking me out?
I want to kill you.
Kill me?
That's right, and rape you too.
Look.
No, please.
Please don't do it.
No!
Please, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. Please.
Everything's okay. Calm down.
You seem to be under a lot of stress.
I guess I'm a bit weird.
It's hard for me to separate my
imagination from reality.
That's why I'm always on edge.
You should call your doctor.
Hello, is this Soraya
Jaya Publishing House?
-Yes, ma'am.
-May I speak to Mr. Anton please?
I'm sorry, he's not available.
When will he be back?
Sometime before the end of the day.
Can I ask who's calling?
Please tell him that Ayu Trisna called.
Alright, I'll let him know.
Thank you.
You didn't call your doctor?
-Mr. Sulastomo.
-Yes?
There's something I have to ask.
About what?
Karsiman.
Mr. Arden mentioned his name.
He's a chicken farmer who
lives in the village to the south.
But you shouldn't go looking for him.
He's dangerous. Maybe even violent.
Good afternoon, sir.
Are you Mr. Karsiman?
Excuse me, Mr. Karsiman?
What do you want?
My name is Ayu Trisna.
I'm staying at Raden
Ngabei Aryo Tejo's old house.
Why are you here?
You used to work for him, right?
Yes.
I'm a writer, so I'm naturally curious.
What can you tell me about that house?
Does it have any dark secrets?
-Mr. Ardan told me...
-What?
Ardan sent you here?
No way!
Ardan would never tell anyone
about the secrets in that house.
I just need some information.
No!
I'd rather not have
my privacy violated.
I'm being haunted.
And I intend to find out why.
Piss off!
You're crazy. I should kill you.
Don't you run away.
Wait. Come here!
Hey, wait! I said wait!
How dare you!
You crazy bitch!
Out of the way!
Sucker.
You crazy bitch, move!
Oh, God.
Now where did she go?
Shit!
Miss Ayu. It's me, Sulastomo.
Don't be afraid. Please get up.
Oh, Mr. Tomo.
You're shaking.
I'm here to give you a
message from Anton.
Anton? Where is he?
Is he here?
No. He just called.
He'll be here next week.
The old master is worried about you.
Starting tonight, you'll have
someone to keep you company.
Who?
Mr. Bokir.
He'll guard the house.
-Mr. Bokir, is it?
-Yes.
-Please sit.
-Thanks.
Why are you sitting on the floor?
Because my butt
hurts when I sit on a chair.
That's because it's flat.
What did you do before
you became a bodyguard?
I've done a bit of everything.
I was a Shaman once.
I was homeless for a while.
A parking attendant.
A fisherman.
Even a singer.
I have a voice like Diana Ross.
Wow, that's some experience.
That's right. I could spend all night
telling you about it.
But since it's late...
-You should sleep.
-Okay then.
-I'll keep watch.
-Good luck.
-Sweet dreams.
-Thank you.
Bye.
She's quite beautiful.
I wish she was my woman.
I should just sing.
Maybe it'll get her attention.
Let's see if this works.
Cast here, cast there
Cast 0 net by the riverbank
From dawn 'til dusk
All I get is a guppy
Hurry up and finish before I bite you.
You talk too much.
Cast here, cast there
Cast 0 net in Sampur Beach
What bad luck
All I get is a jellyfish
How did I catch a jellyfish?
I'm done. There's music playing.
Quit rushing it. Do you
want to get paid or not?
How sad is it to be a fisherman,
being hungry and penniless.
Thankfully there is a house
where I can rest
and drink for a while.
The house belongs to a widow.
She has two children.
Now this is good luck, meeting a widow.
Cast here, cast there.
Cast 0 net in the middle of a swamp.
Hoping for a minnow,
I end up getting a widow.
Isn't that great?
-Hurry up.
-Amazing.
-Can we dance here?
-Sure.
Hurray!
How sad is it to be a fisherman,
-being hungry and penniless.
-Not bad.
Thankfully there is a house
where I can rest and drink for a while.
The house belongs to a widow.
She has two children.
Well, that's lucky.
Cast here, cast there.
Cast 0 net in the middle of a swamp.
Hoping for a minnow,
I end up getting a widow.
And she has two children.
She's pretty, and her body looks great.
Miss?
Who are you?
You look different.
-Let's get out of here.
-You stink.
Hey, big guy, why are
you carrying him like that?
-There's a raid. Let's go.
-Don't leave me here alone!
Mr. Bokir, why are you
out here running at night?
-There's a ghost.
-Ghost? What ghost?
A sundel bolong.
In that house over there.
You gotta be kidding me.
Where? I don't see anything.
Over there at that house.
Sundel belong
on; exist in movies.
Like those Suzzanna flicks, you know?
I know that.
-Come and show me.
-No way.
Don't be a coward.
Okay, where's the ghost?
I told you ghosts don't exist.
It's just your imagination.
I have a lot of experience
as a security guard.
Really? Maybe my eyes
were playing tricks on me.
Whatever.
Hey, Karta.
Would you stay up and
keep watch with me tonight?
I'll pay you with steamed cassava.
That's more like it. Where is it?
There!
Have some.
Mr. Bokir,
I only ate one.
Why did you hide it?
-What?
-Where's the rest of it?
I didn't hide it. It's right there.
Karta, there it is.
Oh, right.
Oh, dear God.
Who did this?
This must be supernatural.
-Someone's screwing with us.
-Yeah.
-Let's go find out.
-Okay.
Wait.
You search over there,
and I'll look around here.
-Okay.
-Let's go.
What the hell?
Why is there a
pretty lady out here?
Evening.
What are you doing here?
What's your name?
How about your address?
Got any ID?
Why aren't you answering me?
Are you new here?
You must be new, right?
No, I'm not.
Follow me to the office.
Come on!
Please don't.
Kir! Bokir!
I caught someone!
Why is Karta dragging that
lady here? She's the ghost!
Huh? Karta, watch your back!
Huh? What? What is it?
Look behind you!
Mr. Security Guard, sweetie.
Please pick me up.
Bokir, take me with you.
What's wrong, Mr. Bokir?
Why are you here so early?
I don't think I can
keep watch here anymore.
Please forgive me.
I'm here to tell you
that I won't be here
tonight to keep watch.
Why not?
You're already too
scared after one night?
No, ma'am.
I'd rather not get paid.
The ghost is scary.
It's a sundel bolong.
-Sundel belong?
-Yes.
What does it look like?
Please, I don't want to talk about it.
I'm scared!
-Excuse me.
-Wait!
Wait a minute, Mr. Bokir. Hey!
Just give it to the sundel bolong.
-Morning.
-Morning.
Mr. Ardan's body was
found floating in the lake.
They also found Karsiman.
He died terribly.
The motorbike you borrowed was
found near his broken down car.
What does that have to do with me?
The matter is being
handled by the authorities.
Guess they want you
to give a statement.
May I sit down?
I think the way they died is unusual.
They weren't killed by a human.
-What do you mean?
-Please have a seat.
I think they were killed by Minati's ghost.
Minati? Who's that?
My late sister-in-law.
Aryo's late wife.
She died because her baby
was born through her back.
What do you mean?
Born through her back?
Yes. They say...
People who die like that
will end up haunting others.
What did those men do?
I'm sorry. I can't tell you that.
Sir...
I've seen shadows of a woman in this house.
What? You've seen her?
Yes. I think you're right.
She's the one who killed them.
Did you witness it yourself?
I feel like she looks just like me.
I need to ask you something.
Who are your parents?
I don't know.
I was raised in an orphanage.
Oh, Mr. Anton.
Please come inside.
This way.
Good afternoon, sir.
Come here, son.
Sit next to me.
I called you here for a
very important matter.
What seems to be the problem?
My younger brother, Sulastomo,
has found out a lot
about Ayu Trisna.
She looks just like my late wife.
The resemblance is so strong.
Don't be afraid, my child.
I'm your mother.
My mother? But that can't be.
It might be possible.
My mistress, Rom Pun'wah,
really hated my wife,
my dearest Minati,
because she was pregnant with Ayu.
With the help of Ardan and Karsiman,
and also Ki Brojo, a black magic shaman,
Rom Pun'wah tried to get
rid of my dearest Minati.
And then... it happened.
The disaster, the tragedy
on the night when Ayu was born.
The night of Kliwon Friday.
It hurts.
It hurts so bad.
My stomach hurts!
There, there, darling.
I told Tomo to go get the
midwife. Hang in there.
I can't take this anymore.
It feels like I'm being
stabbed in the stomach.
Be strong, my dearest.
I'll rub your stomach with oil, okay?
There, there, darling. Be strong.
Darling...
Our first child is here. Our daughter.
Darling, wake up.
Look at our daughter.
Darling. Minati?
-Please wake up.
-Aryo Tejo.
Raden Ayu Minati is dead.
Minati.
Minati...Minati...
My child...
A few days after Minati's death,
I asked Sulatomo to take the baby
to an orphanage in Jakarta.
I sent her money every month.
But I never revealed her family's identity.
Goodbye, my child.
That poor baby. I should
be the one taking care of her.
Minati's death took a toll on me.
Yes...
It felt like my life had lost its meaning.
I had to avenge
Minati's tragic death.
I wanted revenge.
This is your payment, Ki.
I want you to kill the baby too.
I don't want the inheritance
to go to his daughter.
Killing an innocent baby is
not a task to be taken lightly.
The price to pay for it is high.
This won't be enough.
How much more do you want?
You know that if a
baby dies an unusual death,
it will become a ghost.
And the unusual death of its mother,
since she gave birth through her back,
will make her a sundel bolong.
I don't care what they
become after they die.
I just want them all gone.
Huh?
Don't you feel bad for
Raden Mas Aryo Tejo?
I'm still his mistress.
Once I marry him, we
can kill him off too.
Whatever you want, I'll give it to you.
Wait just a minute.
May I speak to you privately?
You two should go home.
If this works,
you'll make even more money.
-Yes, Ma'am.
-Excuse us.
Let's get out of here.
Shall we?
Hurry up.
Come on.
-Hurry.
-Shush.
You're ruining it.
Aryo!
You're animals! Filthy animals!
Hear that? It was a gunshot.
I think it came from Ki Brojo's house.
-Let's go back.
-Okay.
Stop.
We're witnesses to the
murder you committed.
Hands in the air.
We're ready to tell the police everything.
You'll be executed.
No!
Just go ahead and kill me.
I know the evil deed
you've conspired to do.
Go ahead. Shoot me! Cut me!
-Shoot me!
- No, sir.
We aren't the type of people
who would kill their own master.
Then what do you want?
This will stay between the three of us
as long as you agree to our terms.
I had to set aside a third of my wealth
for Ardan and Karsiman,
just so they'd keep their mouths shut.
Don't you mean so you could avoid
getting arrested for what you did?
Yes.
And because of what I did,
I ended up suffering my whole life.
I'm a murderer.
I should be rotting in jail.
I should be hanged.
Or put in front of the firing squad.
I don't understand.
Why didn't you talk to Ayu Trisna?
I didn't want her to know the truth,
that she has a murderer for a father.
But I've ensured that my entire estate
will go to her.
This is my last will and testament.
Now you know who your parents are.
Our family was ruined by horrible people.
But I've taken care of them.
I'm sorry I couldn't raise you.
Forgive me, my child.
Mother...
It's alright, my daughter.
This is our fate that God has given to us.
We must accept it.
I can't stay with you for long.
You should go to your father.
Father? What's wrong with him?
I must go to him.
Mother?
Mother...
Oh, God.
Please forgive her sins.
Aryo, stay calm.
Say your prayers.
Should I go and get Ayu now?
Yes.
Ayu Trisna is here.
Ayu Trisna.
My daughter.
Father. Father?
Father...
Father? Father?
Father!
You've reunited your family, Ayu.
-And now for happily ever after.
-Thank you, love.
