Sleeping Nina

You have to sleep

If you don't, mosquitos will bite you

Mom, I can't sleep.

Lower your voice. Lala has just sleep.

What happened?

Well...

There's that guy again, Mom, in my room.

You've got to be dreaming again.

Look, there's no one in your room.

There's no one here.

Okay, let's go back to bed.

Ryan, you're a big boy now.

You have to be brave.

Sleeping Nina

Don't sing that song, Mom.

Why?

I'm afraid.

Afraid of what?

He's mean.

Oh, there you are.

Well...

Ryan can't sleep. He wants me to be with him.

Ryan, you're a big boy now. You have to sleep on your own, okay?

Please, don't!

Mom!

Help...

"Five years later"

Good day, Professors.

-Good day. -Good day.

I'm going to propose the subject of my thesis...

...as a completion of my Psychiatry Master Degree study,

...."Trauma Focus Cognitive Behavioral Therapy through EMDR".

EMDR has proven to be the fastest process...

...to cure patients who suffer post-traumatic stressed disorder or PTSD.

As part of my thesis,

I'm studying a patient, Ryan Saputra, a 12-year-old boy...

...who has been suffering from PTSD for the last five years,

in which five years ago...

...he witnessed all his family members got killed.

I'm planning to conduct shock therapy and EMDR.

And I would like to ask your permission...

...to bring him back to stay in his old house...

...under my supervision for one month.

Within that time, I'm confident I can cure him.

How is it Professor Hardoni?

Doctor Karina, we have granted your proposal.

Yes.

You may bring the boy.

However, we can only give you two weeks.

Okay, Professor.

Don't forget, you have to report to me everyday,

because that is still my responsibility.

Okay?

Okay, Professor, I'll prepare everything to clean up the house.

-Congratulations. -Thank you, Professor.

"Day 1"

Ryan, come on in.

It's okay. I've cleaned this house yesterday.

Let's go.

Your room is upstairs, right? Let's go.

Ryan?

Okay, okay.

Ryan? Ry?

Ryan?

Ryan?

Ry?

Ryan, I found your doll. Here you go.

Bams, his dad died right where you are sitting right now.

By the grace of God, please forgive me. Sorry, sorry, sorry...

Why are you so confident that you'll succeed,

while others before you, fail?

I brought him here so I can give him shock therapy,

so he can face his issues and remember his past.

And then, when he's stressed, I'll use EMDR method.

What's that?

EMDR is, while he's stressed,

I'll do this in front of his eye,

and his eyes' have to follow my hand movement.

With the hope that his brain will be distracted,

so he won't think about the same issues all the time.

So, he could think about other things and do better to him.

In USA, many doctors have been using EMDR,

and it works.

What happened to this chair?

Your room is upstairs. Why did you choose this one?

No problem.

It's not that I'm afraid of staying here, Kar. But, I got to go.

Okay, Bams.

-I'll see you soon, yeah? -Take care of yourself.

I can definitely do this. Definitely.

Ryan, are you happy to be back home?

What is your favorite thing to do here?

Let me tell you a story. Do you want to hear it?

There once was a shepherd boy.

This shepherd boy's naughty.

Even though there's no wolf,

he shouted, "Help, help, there's a wolf coming."

Eventually, the villagers showed up to the forest.

Then, they asked, "What is it? Where's the wolf?"

Today is Ryan's first day back at home.

I'm so happy...

...because my struggle up until now...

...has made my professors have fully confident in me.

I hope by bringing Ryan back to this house,

it is going to expedite the completion my thesis.

I have to be the best graduate.

I'm really tired today.

So, I'll see you tomorrow on my next blogging.

Ryan?

Are you outside? Why aren't you sleeping?

"Day 2"

Hello? Good morning, Professor.

Bams, why are you calling me so early? I'm still sleepy.

Then, asking trivial stuff. I'm going back to sleep, okay?

What now, Bams? I'm going back to sleep. Don't disturb me.

Oh, good morning, Professor.

Sorry, I thought it's my friend.

On Ryan's first day back at his home, he's still passive.

Reading from his behavior,

it seems like he's still not too comfortable being back home.

But, he looks a bit excited when I told him a story...

...and he seems to enjoy it.

Yes, Professor.

Yes, Bams...

Now, be calm and relax. Then, I'm going to count from one to ten.

You will fall asleep.

Let's start. One, two, three, four, your eyes are getting heavy,

five, six, seven,

eight, nine, ten.

Ryan,

what's the first thing that you felt...

...when you entered this house yesterday?

What did you remember from the event that night?

Ryan, calm down, Ryan.

Take a deep breath. Calm down.

Now, I'm going to count to three. You're going to wake up.

One, two, three.

Now, follow the light here.

Ryan's definitely has gone through a very horrible event.

Mentally, this boy can't cope with that and…

Why do you like to hold your breath?

"Day 3"

How are you feeling today?

Are you happy?

Really? Why are you happy?

I've met...

You've met?

Who did you've met, Ryan?

Who did you've met?

Lala.

Lala?

Lala? Your sister?

Where did you meet her?

Ryan, you're just hallucinating.

That's not real.

That's only in your head.

Let's go upstairs.

Ryan, you have to fight your trauma.

Let's go upstairs. I'll be here with you.

Ryan is still haunted by his past.

He told me that he met Lala last night.

I'm sure he's hallucinating.

He blocked the disaster that happened five years ago from his head.

So, he think his family is still here at this house.

Last night, I watched him while he sleep.

He can't sleep tightly for more than two minutes.

I have to find a way to watch him every second.

Hello? Bams.

How do you know I'm going to ask for a favor?

This CCTV is connected to Wi-Fi.

This Wi-Fi is connected to the internet.

So, you can monitor Ryan from anywhere in the world.

For instance, I'm going to London next week.

From inside the plane, on the elevation of 40,000 feet,

I can still monitor it.

For me, I have phobia with heights.

Especially, with people who show off.

Ryan?

Ryan?

Ryan, what are you doing?

-Oh my God! What are you trying to do? -Go help him!

Are you okay? Huh?

Ryan, what are you thinking about?

Let's go upstairs.

Let's go.

Come on.

Let's go.

Come on, Ryan. Let's go.

Ryan, it's okay. You don't have to be afraid. I'm here. Let's go.

Come on.

Ryan, you have to be brave. Come on.

I don't want to go there.

Ryan!

He's...

There...

Who's there?

What are you afraid of? I'm trying to help you.

Who's there?

Ryan!

"Ryan Saputra, seven-year-old, went through a tragic event."

"Quite acute post-traumatic stress disorder."

"Does not socialize with others."

"Very quiet. Can't sleep tightly."

"Don't sing "Nina Bobo" to him. Doctor Anwar."

"Bad memories with this song, causing traumatic event."

Hello, can I talk to Doctor Anwar?

When he'll be back?

Okay, next week.

Well, I'm Dr. Karina and could you please tell him to contact me here...

...regarding an old patient of his.

Yes, thank you.

Bams, I forgot to say thanks to you.

You've helped me cleaned this house yesterday.

I don't mind at all. It wasn't me. I paid someone to do it.

But, the second floor is still messy.

The people in this neighborhood are scared to go upstairs...

...after hearing stories about people dying here.

That's fine. We're not going upstairs anyway.

I'm going to blog first.

Karina...

Karina?

Karina?

Karina?

Oh my God! Whoa!

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello? Professor?

Bams?

Shit!

I'm going to sleep. You're not afraid, right?

Nope...

Bams?

Karina?

Where are you, Karina?

Bams?

If you're on the second floor, I'm not going upstairs.

Bams...

Okay, I'm coming. I'm coming.

Whoa! That was so scary!

Oh my God, Karina. You know? It's so scary outside.

Can I sleep here?

Sure, but just go to sleep down there.

Thank you.

"Day 5"

Ouch!

Bams! I'm so sorry.

Oh my God, Karina. Didn't you see me sleeping?

Yeah, but I told you to sleep on that side last night.

Seven, eight, nine, ten.

How are you today, Ryan?

Afraid.

Afraid?

What are you afraid of?

Here.

Here, in this house?

What's actually happened in this house, Ryan?

Dad. Dead.

Mom.

Dead.

Lala...

What happened? There's robbery in this house?

Who killed your family?

There's...

Ryan?

Ryan, calm down.

Bams!

Bams!

Bams!

Ryan, please calm down.

Oh my God, Karina, what's wrong with him?

Ryan...

Ryan, calm down...

What did you do to him, Karina?

I just hypnotized him.

Hypnotize?

Ryan, look into my eyes.

Hello, Professor.

I'm sorry I haven't called you back, my phone ran out of battery last night.

Ryan's progress is really good, Professor.

Now, he's becoming more communicative and more open to me.

And he's adapted very well.

I'm sure I'm going to make it by next week.

And Ryan is going back to normal again.

Yes, Professor. I'm not worried at all.

If Ryan can't accept the death of his family,

their spirits will remain here.

People who died from a car accident,

their spirit will stay in the car.

People who died unnaturally in the house,

their spirit will stay in the house.

Please, don't do that to me.

Why does only Balinese believe in leak ghost?

Because that's a doctrine.

Why does only Americans believe in UFO?

Because that's also a doctrine.

Kar, I'm your best friend, right?

I'm your only friend, Bams.

True.

But, you're missing the point.

Don't talk to me like that, you bloody bastard.

I have told you so many times.

What? Who? Your uncle will help you.

Your uncle can't even tie his own shoelaces. Bloody stupid man.

Indeed, he is.

I've told you to do one thing, only one thing. You can't do that.

What are you? A stupid or what? Are you a PhD at something?

Stupid boy!

Don't call me anymore! Stupid!

I've been here for almost a week.

And there hasn't been any improvement.

Gosh...

What am I going to tell Professor Hardoni?

I'm not going home before I succeed.

I can do this.

I'm going to succeed.

Ryan will be cured.

Why does he like to hold his breath?

The reason is never clear.

Gosh...

Oh my God, Karina! What happened to you?

I'm fine.

"Day 10"

I haven't slept in three days.

Why can't I make Ryan open up to me?

I have tried everything...

...and nothing has worked.

Recently I'm also hallucinating.

It must be because of Bams' stories.

He's the one who keep telling ghost stories to me.

"Professor Hardoni"

Ryan, what are you doing? Why did you break the plate?

I'm trying to get some rest, you know?

You hungry?

You want to eat?

"Day 11"

Are you afraid of your Dad?

Are you afraid of your Mom?

What are you afraid of from this house?

-Hello? -Hello, Karina?

I'm Doctor Anwar.

Hello, Doctor Anwar. Thank you for calling me back.

Right now, I'm handling a patient named Ryan Saputra.

He's your former patient.

Yeah, how is he?

There are lot of things that I want to ask about.

But, specifically,...

...I want to know about your notes...

...that forbid not to sing the lullaby "Nina Bobo."

I was Ryan's first doctor when he was seven years old.

He already can't socialized at that time,

but with my treatment, he's getting better.

But, he always told me not to sing the lullaby "Nina Bobo."

Then, I tried to sing it,

and that caused a major setback to his progress.

What is wrong with that song?

I'm not sure.

But, I strongly warn you...

...not to sing "Nina Bobo" to him.

Yes, but isn't it very strange, Doc?

I'm not going to experiment too far on a minor.

I strongly warn you...

...not to sing "Nina Bobo" to him.

I'm not going to experiment too far on a minor.

Many people told me not to sing "Nina Bobo" to Ryan,

especially Ryan's first doctor.

But, not like this.

There are no facts to support that the song...

...will endanger his mental stability.

In fact, if there's a trauma due to the song,

we should perform shock therapy so that he can face that issue.

Tonight, I sang "Nina Bobo".

Instead, Ryan who usually feel anxious every few minutes,

now he sleep tightly.

This is my last effort.

Let's see what happens in a few days.

Come on, Karina! Pick up! Pick up!

"Day 12"

Last night, did you sing "Nina Bobo?"

Ryan?

I'm surprised that you've come here.

Have you had your breakfast?

Let me make you breakfast.

A breakthrough happened this morning.

For the first time ever, Ryan used full sentence to communicate.

He asked me if I sang him "Nina Bobo" last night.

But, how did he knew that I sang it?

Bams, you texted me like, 200 times. What's that?

Oh my God, Karina. I've been trying to call you all night.

By the way, I saw ghost sighting in Ryan's room.

Stop joking around.

I know you're afraid of ghost,

but don't tell me there's sighting in Ryan's room.

Kar, you know I never joked about ghost.

I don't believe you.

Ryan slept tightly last night after I sang him "Nina Bobo."

"Nina Bobo?"

"The Mystery Behind 'Nina Bobo' Song."

"Horrible Story Behind 'Nina Bobo.''

Karina, don't go up there!

It's dangerous up there.

"Day 13"

Ryan, what are you doing?

Before reaching two weeks, Ryan's progress is really good.

It's going to be a surprise for Professor Hardoni.

My plan to use shock therapy and EMDR method...

...has succeeded to get Ryan back to normal.

Yup, close your eyes.

Take a deep breath.

One significant thing is,

Ryan still concerns for my safety.

Last night, he told me not to go upstairs...

...because he said that it's dangerous there.

That means now he is able to socialize.

I took him out for a walk today.

It seems that this is very important for his soul healing process.

Now, he can smile and go back to normal...

...like other kids at his age.

I can already see myself becoming the best graduate.

Sleeping Nina

Stop.

Don't sing that song.

He will come.

Who do you mean?

When I was a kid,

he'll come when Mom sing me "Nina Bobo."

He always asked me to play with him.

He like to see me building things with wooden blocks...

...and house out of playing cards.

After some time, I get bored of it.

Then, he became mean.

But, then I found a way to hide from him.

We have to close our nose and mouth, trying not to breathe.

That's why I have been practicing that.

But, on that night...

...he was very angry.

He killed everyone in this house...

...because he couldn't find me.

That's impossible, Ryan.

These past few days, I have been singing "Nina Bobo,"...

...and nothing happened...

Karina...

Karina, hold your breath.

Karina, hold your breath.

Karina!

Karina! Ryan!

Oh my God!

Hold your breath!

This way. It's open. Come on.

This was my escape route. Come on!

Ryan, hurry, you go first. I can't fit there. Go!

No, you go first. You can fit here! Come on!

No, Ryan, you go first. Hurry!

I don't want to. You also have to come.

No, you go there. Hurry!

No, don't do that!

Just go, Ryan!

You have to go alone. Hurry! Go!

Karina? Ryan?

Karina?

Karina?

Oh my God, Karina! What happened to you?

Huh?
