Original subtitles

You have to help me find a new place. My nosy neighbors are getting worse.

They say I come home late because I'm a prostitute.

- It bothers you? - No. But I'm not a prostitute.

Maybe it's easier to be a prostitute. Go to bed with them and then they pay you.

It's not so easy. You have to wear makeup every night. And the client can be violent or too big.

You MUST know how to choose them. - And how do you do? How do you know first if he's violent or too big?

I'd check first. - If their cocks are covered, how do you know if it's too big?

I would know. - No instead. Because you are an ignorant virgin.

Wait, a car comes.

Didn't you put me on speakerphone? If the boss finds out, you're in trouble.

Done.

Aren't you using all the charge? - I do not care. It's so peaceful tonight, it's creepy.

- Who's on duty with you? - Mr. Chondro. But he left the office. I do not know why.

Soon they will close the toll booth. Not many cars pass by here.

- Soon they will no longer assign anyone. - They'll all be automatic. It's ridiculous.

Nobody will have a job. - That's why we have to open our clothing store soon.

I will not miss it. I won't have to have dealing with so many weird people.

Like the guy in the old sedan that has been following me for weeks.

I told you. Maybe go home from work every day.

Dini, came here two or three times in one night. It is not strange?

And he looks at me as if he wants to eat me alive. - What are you, a newbie? I've already said.

Never look them in the eye. She just looks at the hands.

Her hands were disgusting. Dirty nails and all the rest. - Maybe he's a gravedigger.

You are not helping. It's easy for you, you're not there alone. Who is stationed there with you?

I have that Wahyu. Always look my way.

She drove me home the last 3 days. - Is Wahyu fond of second hand items?

Can't listen to other songs? It's so creepy.

No. My radio is stuck on AM. FM does not work.

- Shit. - What's up?

There's that car again.

Ready?

Maya?

Ready?

Maya?

- Is still here. - Oh, no. What are you doing?

- He's staring at me. - I'll call the office.

Finally he is gone. Thank you sir! Shit, I was having a heart attack.

Din! Is still here!

She is walking towards my station! What should I do?

Din!

She is calm. I call the office. Someone can you come to Bukit Selatan gate 1 now?

Someone is harassing an agent. Now, please! Ok, ok. Be calm.

Close the door! Close the window!

- Find something near you! - What do you mean?

A metal stick, a rock, anything from use as a weapon? - There's nothing here. I'm screwed!

The guards are coming!

- Are you Rahayu? - No, my name is Maya. You can not read?

- Is it your real name? - Yup. - Hey! Leave her alone! Get out!

- Are you from the village of Harjosari in Mandiraja? - What do you want?

Is your father called Ki Donowongso?

Maya!

He is leaving.

If he doesn't get help in a minute, get out of there. Leave the cabin!

Someone is coming to the Bukit Selatan 1 booth?

-Dini, he's coming back with a weapon! - What weapon?

Maya!

Maya!

Maya!

Help!

Hey!

Drop the weapon!

We...

We don't want what left your family.

Take it away, please.

- Want to see my new collection? - Not now. - Pay for the shirt you bought last week.

- I can't pay you now. - But if you have a lot of customers!

Exact. I'm busy.

Power. Take the bag and give me my money.

Do you need a new bra?

We should have checked first if this market was good for business.

Take it easy. - We've been duped because the rent is cheap.

- We will sell them online. - These fake cunts?

- That's why we will sell them online. - I wouldn't wear one of these either.

I'd rather wear a plastic bag.

Sorry I dragged you into all of this. We used all your money.

It's not like you put a gun in my head. I wanted to go into business.

- I'm going away for a week or so. - Where is it?

Where is it?

Who I am?

After I was attacked, I searched through the stuff of my deceased aunt. I found this photo.

- I think they're my parents. - "Think"?

I've never seen pictures of them before. And I was too young to remember them.

Rahayu?

So was the psychopath right?

I remember my aunt used to call me Rahayu when I was young. She then she started calling me Maya. I do not know why.

- So? - Look at the photo again. Do you notice anything?

What were you short for a 5 year old girl?

The House?

The big house.

It is the key to solving our problems. My family home.

But you don't even know where it is.

The psychopath named the village. Harjosari, Mandiraja. I looked for.

This could be our chance to start a new life.

I come with you.

No.

You're my best friend. I will not let you go alone.

- And if you get rich, you can't leave me like that. - And the kiosk?

Nobody comes to buy our stuff.

Hey! You can't smoke in there! - You can't stay here, pervert! This is the women's bathroom.

Be quiet! Get out of here!

What happened?

The wound.

How does it look fresh?

I do not know. I need some disinfectant.

Because I know it's not that time of the month for you. Stay here. I'll get you some disinfectant.

Dini?

Dini?

Dini?

Don't you go home?

Soon.

Dini?

Dini?

Dini?

People are increasingly lazy. She soon turns off the lights and closes the doors.

The pharmacy is closed.

No medicine.

HAVE A NICE TRIP

What are you reading?

Business planning.

Which company?

Whatever. So I know how to move if we want to start with another.

Besides, if I don't read, I always go to the bathroom.

Turn off your light. The guy behind us is annoyed.

Damn highlander.

- How long is it to get there? - Driver said six hours.

You see? Now I have to piss.

- Use this, love. - You do not need it?

Quiet. I am not cold. Sleep.

I wake you up when we get to your parents' village.

I wasn't bothered by you or your friend.

Sometimes I cough up the spirits about this buses do not disturb passengers.

Spirits?

There are spirits on this bus.

They don't know where to go.

Don't think it's weird.

I am a university teacher.

What do you teach?

Russian literature.

I know it's not very useful in this country. But I love Russian.

Well, I love all languages.

Do you know Javanese? - Why should I study foreign languages ​​if I don't know mine?

Do you know what it says?

It is ancient Javanese.

It is a spell so that whoever carries it is not disturbed by evil spirits.

- So it's some kind of amulet? Yes. But this was done by an evil person.

Where did you get this photo?

From Internet.

What are you thinking about?

Nothing.

Are you thinking about your parents?

Do you know anything about them?

No. My aunt raised me. And she wasn't a talker. If I hadn't asked her about mine, she wouldn't have said much.

Parents are overrated. I've known my parents all my life.

She didn't do me any good. She didn't make me happier.

But at least you knew them.

It's true. Especially if they left you a fortune.

But we really have to be careful.

That's why we go there just to check things out.

If I have an inheritance there, we'll come back with a lawyer.

Lawyer? Wow!

- Thanks for coming with me. - Don't even say that.

Just pray we won't have to stay in a place with cockroaches.

- Holy shit! - What's up?

I swear I saw those three little girls on the side of the road before.

She is one in the morning. Children sleep.

I swear to God!

How much did you say missing?

5 hours.

- Do you know a place called Harjosari? - Harjosari? Never heard of it, miss.

- Where did you look for? Google? - I tried, but I didn't find it.

So I called the provincial government. It is there under their territory. - Nobody has heard of it.

We only asked one person.

Sorry, do you know the village of Harjosari? - Yup.

Can you take us there? - No.

- Because? - It's too far.

- How much do you want? - 100,000 rupees.

Ok.

Each.

- Where are you from, from the bloodsucker village? - No, from that of the wealthy.

Wait for the horse to finish. - When you have them last fed? One month ago? - Last year.

Why do you want to go to Harjosari?

- Let's do research for the university. - To Harjosari? Research on what?

- Why are you laughing? - There is nothing in Harjosari. It is an isolated village.

Exact. We are doing research on isolated villages. - I see.

- What do you know about the village? - Not much.

I know him because I recently have brought the village elder home.

He is a puppeteer. He was in my city for a show.

-What's his name? - Ki Saptadi.

He is quite well known.

Why don't they build a road for the village? - They don't want to.

- Because? - What do I know.

- Dini, take off those sunglasses. - But it's sunny. He's spinning my head.

Miss, where do you want me to leave you?

Take us to Ki Saptadi, the village elder's house.

- Are you sure? - Well, I don't think we'll find a hotel here.

Will we spend the night in this village?

I do not know.

- What do you mean you don't know? - It depends on the situation. We don't even know if my house still exists.

I didn't ask you to come with me. Don't be fussy.

Cazzarola, it's huge.

- Do you know whose house that is? - I do not know.

I asked Ki Saptadi when we are passed by, but he didn't say anything.

What a waste, isn't it? Such a big empty house.

- Do you want me to wait? - No, but thank you very much.

Here is my business card, you never know.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Come on, beauty.

We have to come up with a new story. We cannot say that we are students.

Why not?

What do we say if he starts asking of our research? I don't know anything about it. You?

- Don't say we're students. - So? - Let me think.

Who are you looking for?

We are university students, ma'am. We would like to see Ki Saptadi.

For what?

We are writing a book about puppeteers. We have heard that Ki Saptadi is a famous puppeteer.

He is not at home. He will be back this evening.

You can come back here tomorrow morning.

Ok, let's go back tomorrow.

- Shall we call the boy to take us back? - And come back here tomorrow? What a break.

There is a path. I think someone comes here often.

We will have to make a sign "Do not enter!"

It is huge.

Yes, really huge.

- How long has the house been abandoned? - I do not know.

How old were you when you moved to the city?

- According to my aunt, I was 5 years old. - And now you are 25?

So this house has been empty for 20 years.

Who is that?

I do not know.

- Looks like it was quickly abandoned. - Because? - The furniture is still here.

Yes. It still works.

- Where are you going? - To control the most important place in a house.

We'll have to do a lot of pumping tonight.

This is crazy, Maya! This house and the land will be 900 square meters!

Imagine how much money you would get if you sold it. - What are you doing?

I found it wrapped in a plastic bag. Does your aunt keep any papers from your parents?

Not that I know.

I bet your father also owned other properties. We have to claim those properties too.

My God. You could get rich as hell! Don't forget about me, okay?

They were a nice couple.

You are sad?

No, I'm just perplexed.

Puzzled? Because?

I'm not in any of these photos. I'm alone in the photo I showed you.

Maybe they haven't had a chance to do it. - There are piles of photos here. None of mine.

Maybe you were too ugly.

Forget about it.

Maybe they'd rather kiss you than take pictures of you. It's not better?

It must be a funeral.

- Are you sure your parents were buried here? - Where else?

But you said you think your parents left quickly. You meant they had to leave the village, right?

Maybe you're right. We finish this line and then we go home.

Can we go back to the house now? The dead are dead. - Are you afraid of the cemetery?

I'm not afraid. I don't see why.

The dead should be cremated. So they don't take up space.

It is better to turn the land into a home for the living.

You have to promise me. When I die please cremate me. And scatter my ashes in the sea.

I could be reincarnated as a fish. Better than being human.

- You will be caught and turned into sushi. - I'll be a shark. And I'll eat humans.

Sharks don't eat humans. Unless they're very hungry.

I'm here.

- Okay, you saw the graves. Let's go. - Wait up.

- Do you know the prayer of the dead? - Are you asking me?

Just say it in Indonesian. Do you think God only speaks Arabic?

Anyway, what did you pray for?

May they rest in peace.

Have you prayed for their luck?

Also.

Brava.

Maya, why are there so many children's graves?

Maybe they are not children, just small graves. - Just look at the dates.

There is not even the name.

What's going on in your village, Maya?

HARJOSARI CEMETERY

COURTESY OF DONOWONGSO

It seems the villagers don't like your family.

Dini!

What's up?

Didn't you hear anything?

Yup.

Your annoying voice.

I'm serious.

I'm tired.

How can you sleep in a dusty bed like this?

Shut up.

Shit.

My Almighty God.

Let me take the pain.

- What are you doing? - I think someone just died.

Yet?

Maya, where are you going?

Within two days, two people died. No wonder the village is empty.

Wait!

What do we say?

Be calm.

- I heard you came to my house to see me. - Yes, sir.

- Are you writing a book on the Wayang ( Javanese shadow puppets )? - For the University. We are students.

Why did you choose this village?

We have visited other villages that still do Wayang. Then we heard about her, and we came here.

- How old are you? - 20, sir.

- We're sorry we came at a bad time. - Do not worry.

Come to my house if you want to talk.

Thank you very much, sir.

- We have to leave this village right away. - Thing?

This place gives me the creeps. It seems they want eat us alive. And every day someone dies.

- It's probably just a coincidence. - I do not believe.

If you want your legacy, we can send someone to take care of it.

Do you think we can afford it? We're broke. We can't even pay the rent this month.

- We will find a solution, as always. - We're here now. We just have to stay a little longer.

- We don't spend the night there. - We ask Ki Saptadi if the house really belongs to my family and let's go.

- We have to ask him kindly. - Yes, a very kind way.

- I am not convinced. - Come on, Din. We can do it.

How are you going to ask him about the house without revealing that you are Rahayu?

It's risky. Someone tried to kill you, remember?

And most likely it was because of the house. - I got it. So let's be schoolgirls.

Nobody kills the students.

I'm going home. I smell like a dead raccoon. I'm taking a shower. - Okay, I'll find something to eat.

Hi, can I buy food?

- Do you eat here or take away? - 2 to take away, please.

Rice with eggs and vegetables.

Do you know anything about that big abandoned house? Do you know who it belongs to?

A family lived there when I was a child.

Who?

(speaks Javanese)

What did he say?

(speaks Javanese)

My grandmother said it's a sick house.

What does she mean?

You said devils lived there and left a horrible disease.

We heard you spent the night here.

Not allowed, miss.

I'm so sorry. We couldn't find another place.

This old house has been abandoned for a long time.

It's not safe. The roof could fall.

- I know. Thanks for your interest. We will be leaving soon. - It is a pity that such a large house is not occupied.

But it doesn't belong to us. So we can't use it.

Who does it belong to?

The heir of this family. A girl.

Ki Saptadi has all the documents.

She is waiting for the girl to complain to return the documents.

So that this house is not more of a responsibility than her.

Is the girl called Rahayu?

Yes. How do you know?

Because...

I am Rahayu.

Well, Ki Saptadi is about to go to another village.

If she meets him now, he can give you the documents.

- Where is your friend? -She is getting something to eat.

She is really a college student. I accompany her.

Well, she depends on you. If you want to wait for Ki Saptadi come back from your trip, it will take three days.

Three days?

But today she told us to come to her house tonight about her, to ask him some questions for the thesis.

Yes. But he got a sudden invitation to perform in another village. And it's quite far from here.

OK then. I'll meet him right away.

- We can take you to him. -I know where he lives.

No, he is at a villager's house. Not far from here.

Come. We take you there.

- Are we still far? - Just a little more.

- Why don't we take the main road? - It's done before here.

I think I better come back. My friend is waiting for me.

What the hell...?

Listen.

You don't have to rape me. I am not a virgin. Tell me what you want.

Don't cut her skin.

Dini?

Dini?

I brought food. Are you hungry?

The number is either non-existent or temporarily unreachable.

Please...

What do you want?

Let me go, please.

What should I do? Please...

Lord! Please help me, sir!

If I wronged you, please forgive me, sir ...

Rahayu ...

We're ready, sir.

Mother…

Please help me, lady!

What do you want to do?

There are two women who are about to give birth.

If we hurry, we may be able to save their children.

I thought you weren't coming. Are you here for the interview?

Actually, I'm looking for my friend. She was with me before when we met.

-Why isn't she with you? - I went to buy some food and when I got back she wasn't home.

I'll ask someone to look for it.

You can wait for her here if you want.

Thanks for your help. But I want to keep looking for it.

Very well. Hope you can find her soon.

Thank you sir.

De nada, ciccetta.

Our baby will be fine.

Excuse me, miss. He has to get on the other side.

I would like to ask Ki Saptadi if he has any information on my missing friend.

We looked for it everywhere, but we couldn't find it. We will deal with it again after this show.

Ok. Thanks.

The called number is not active.

Where are you, Dini?

A woman is about to give birth. Come and see.

Push.

Yet. Power.

Push.

One more push. You can do it.

You said my baby would be been healthy! You're a liar!

I'm doing everything I can to help you and everyone in this village.

Ungrateful!

Will my baby still be cursed?

- What are you doing here? - Nothing...

- Go home. - I want to see the baby.

He goes home!

Come with me.

Do not worry.

I am not like the others.

Come.

What's going on in this village?

- What's wrong with the kids? - I'll tell you. Come.

I need to find my friend.

I will help you.

But now you have to hide.

You are not safe.

Come. I live alone. Come in. Do not worry.

My name is Ratih.

I'm not bad.

The child I saw ...

- It's a curse. - What?

- The whole village is cursed. - A cursed village? Nowadays?

Haven't you noticed anything strange in this village?

Didn't you notice that there are no children here?

- I saw three girls last night. - It's impossible.

There have been no children in this village for 20 years.

What do you mean?

There was a very rich man once. He was our village elder.

He and his family lived in the big one abandoned house. They had many servants.

One of them was Nyi Misni, Ki Saptadi's mother.

The village elder had a son. His name was Ki Donowongso.

When his father died, Ki Donowongso inherited all the wealth.

He was not only rich, but he was too a good puppeteer. He built them.

He was also famous among the neighboring villages.

Then there was Nyai Shinta, the most beautiful woman in the village.

Everyone wanted to marry her. But Ki Donowongso managed to marry Nyai Shinta.

It was an incredible wedding. The party lasted seven days.

Unfortunately, after three years of marriage, they still had no children.

Nyai Shinta was depressed and ashamed.

Finally, after five years of trying, Nyai Shinta got pregnant.

Ki Donowongso took care of his wife.

Every Saturday night they threw a party. He performed with his puppets all night.

The strange thing is that nobody knew the condition of the child after birth.

- And no one has ever seen the baby. - What does it mean?

The baby was born without skin.

Since then, Ki Donowongso refused to socialize with the villagers.

Not long after, a little girl five years she disappeared.

She was never found. Soon after, two other girls disappeared.

One day, the villagers saw the little girl by Ki Donowongso for the first time.

She looked so healthy, so beautiful.

It was only then that the village learned that the girl was called Rahayu.

In the village it was said that Rahayu's father had to deal with the three missing girls.

But no one dared face him. Until one night ...

Ki Saptadi said that Ki Donowongso had done a pact with the devil to protect her daughter.

But then he went mad.

It was said that a faithful servant brought his daughter into town.

And since that day, the village is cursed.

Every baby was born without skin.

Why do they have to kill the children?

Because if they let them live, they would live in misery.

One cannot know. Maybe there is a cure.

No. There is a child who has been allowed to live.

He now he lives in the woods.

Without treatment and suffering.

Ki Saptadi said that to lift the curse, the first sick girl, Rahayu, must be skinned and a puppet made from her skin.

Why do the villagers believe Ki Saptadi's words?

Who else can we listen to here?

What do we still need to do? What did we do wrong?

She is the wrong girl!

You must be hungry. I'll bring you to eat.

- No, I'm fine. Thanks. - I'll get you some rice.

Who is the one in the picture?

My husband.

Listen!

The woman we were looking for is here in the village.

Yup!

You know who she is.

Yup!

Get it!

Find the girl!

Block all exits from the village.

The curse will soon be lifted!

Where is your husband now?

He went to town three months ago. He was looking for a cure.

A cure?

Do you feel it?

My great-grandmother, whom you met at the kiosk, she is a good shaman.

You said that if someone makes a deal with the devil and a curse is born, it can no longer be undone.

She will only turn into another curse.

That's why I don't think it's right to kill you, Rahayu. She will not cancel the curse.

And that's why I asked my husband to look for a cure in town.

I think he will be able to find her.

Have you seen the girl from the city?

The girl from the city?

Yes, two girls from the city came to our village.

One of them is Ki Donowongso's daughter. Ki Saptadi killed the other. The wrong one.

They skinned her, they transformed her skin in leather puppets. What a waste.

What are you doing?

- Now don't you share food with your neighbors? - No. Leave. - Why are you so hostile?

Do you feel lonely because your husband is not around?

Do you want me to stay with you tonight? How long haven't you seen a hard cock?

Get out.

Stab me.

I will kill myself. And my ghost it will haunt you for the rest of your life.

Pigs!

Come.

I'm sorry for your friend.

I have to get out of this village as soon as possible.

Stay here for a while. It's not safe out there.

- They won't come anymore. - We do not know.

At least if he runs away now, I might succeed to escape from the villagers.

Dini ...

Dini. My friend...

It's all my fault.

No it is not.

It is the work of the devil and weak human beings.

Have you got a mobile?

Ready?

Miss? I'm with a police officer. We are coming.

We are bikes, we will do it faster. We're almost there, we're almost there.

Thanks. They are arriving.

-He said to meet them at the north entrance. - I know where he is.

- Can we go faster? - No more than that.

I met your husband.

He tried to kill me.

I was working and he came to me. He tried to kill me.

A policeman shot him, he's dead.

Forgive me, Ratih.

- It's here? - Yes, this is the north entrance.

- Brother Suryo. - Good evening, brother.

Bambang?

I told you not to move. I can do it alone.

- We just want to help. - Who are you?

- We are from this village. - Do you know them?

I'm from here too. Me and my wife.

- Didn't I tell you? - No.

- Look, Mr. ...? - I'm Nano. - Don't worry, Mr. Nano.

Our village is safe and the inhabitants they are friendly.

Give me your phone.

No.

- A minute. - No!

Test my patience?

Fuck off!

Over there!

Find it!

Lord, help me. They chase me. They want to rape me.

- Get in! - I'm going to the back. I don't want them to see me. - Ok, hurry up!

Help.

subtitles by francescovecchi

Soon!

Find it!

Don't let it escape!

You will forget.

The unborn will perish.

Good morning.

You must be here! Power! It must be here! Get it!

Quick, find it! Don't let it escape!

Blood for blood.

Soon!

She cannot escape!

Bury our skin with our bones and the curse will disappear.

Maya! Wake up! We have to get out of here.

- What place is this? - That's where Tole lives, the cursed child who was kept alive.

I want to see it. -We have to go .- I want to see him.

- Who is there? - It's me. Ratih.

I'm hungry. I want to eat.

Who is it, Ratih?

I'll be back with some food.

It's my fault.

No.

But I can fix things.

Why are you still helping me?

Hating you won't change things.

They'll hurt you if they know you're helping me.

They've been doing it my whole life.

We do what you think you do.

What is that?

The skin of the missing girls.

Your work here is done.

Go, before it's too late.

I'm not going anywhere until I know the curse is gone.

A woman will go into labor tonight.

We'll see.

I lived in this house.

This is where Donowongso's father fucked me.

And it's also where I gave birth to Saptadi.

Go to the woman in labor. Please go now!

Obviously I didn't tell him that Saptadi was his illegitimate son.

I never asked him to hire no liability for Saptadi.

- I was in my place. - It's all your fault.

Even before I was born, you tried to destroy me.

You started this curse.

You...

... you are a mistake that I have to cancel.

Don't come close!

Don't come close!

Stay away from me!

Please let me go.

Please let me go home.

We have to do it.

You must understand.

Sir, it's okay now.

There will be no more curse.

Skinless babies will no longer be born.

Thing?

The three girls, the ones who have never been found ...

My father buried them in the house.

In the basement. Their spirits came to me.

They asked me to bury the puppets made with their skin together with their bones.

So they can rest in peace. I did everything they asked me to do.

Look. The puppets have disappeared from his house.

Please, sir.

Please, I'm not lying.

Please, Lord. I am his daughter.

What did you say?

I am his daughter.

I know everything. I am his daughter, father.

Her and Nyai Shinta. Grandma leti did a spell to forget.

Don't listen to it!

Grandmother! What did I do to deserve this?

I have lived in misery all my life. You brought me into the world. Now you want to kill me.

Shut up!

Is that true, mother?

It's all your fault.

Do you dare to talk to your mother like that? - That's enough!

I've had enough of you controlling my life.

Either her or your mother.

My wife is in labor, sir.

You or me!

Father...

The baby is healthy!

Please...

Oh dear...

My baby!

Please.

You must die!

Our son.

You have to go now.

Come with me.

It doesn't matter where I go. My life will be the same.

Go!

Go!

Soon!

A YEAR LATER

The baby is healthy.

Of course he is.

Keep kicking, honey.

Maybe he hates me.

Of course he hates you.

He knows you got me pregnant. And you're putting me in trouble.

This is what happens to pregnant women. We always go to the bathroom.

Take it easy, love.

What happened?

What happened to the baby?

Where is the baby?
