Original subtitles

Iqbal.

Hey guys, I think we need to find another hangout spot.

We can't spend our school holidays hanging out here, like a bunch of apes.

What's the problem with you guys? This place is just fine.

Hey, is that a new video?

Pain in the butt....

Bob, I was just about to catch that.

Are you stupid?

This thing is called a familiar.

Iqbal...

If it enters your house, everyone will die. You'll be cursed.

Iqbal...

That's a praying mantis, you idiot. Since you killed it, now you will be cursed.

Then you will die.

Iqbal? Iqbal, where are you going?

Iqbal.

Mom?

Iqbal.

Mom?

Little chicks, little chicks. Now only five are left.

One is dead. Another one dies. Now only four remain.

This is your dad's.

This is yours.

Here, take mine.

Iqbal.

I've been looking everywhere for you.

What's wrong, Iqbal? You look like a corpse.

Dad... I don’t think we should go. Something doesn't feel right.

I'm sorry we can't go to the movies today. Maybe tomorrow or the day after, okay?

That would be better anyway.

That new movie - "The Helter Skelter Ghost", it will be out by then.

Shall I book the tickets now?

No. I'm scared!

What is there to be scared of?

Just take a pillow, and cover your face.

I know we are close. We should have reached by now.

Everything looks fine.

So it has begun.

We've passed this way twice already. Did you realize that?

If I had your abilities, I wouldn't rely on apps.

Put away your phone. Use your third sight. End of story.

Iqbal.

This is your dad's.

This is yours.

This is mine.

Dad...

I don’t want anything to happen to Mom.

Let someone else do this...

You can't see.... I don't know how to explain--

What's wrong with you?

Dear?

Iqbal.

The sooner we get there, the sooner we finish. The sooner we leave.

Iqbal, don't walk alone.

Peace be upon you.

Don't be afraid, Iqbal.

The things that you and I can see... they can't harm us.

Peace be upon you.

This gift that we have received from God is special.

But I am scared, Mom.

Be patient.

Once you've gained enough knowledge...

Peace be upon you.

Peace be--

Sit here, darling. Your mum, brother and I have work to do.

You stay put, okay, Yaya?

Mrs. Dina?

I didn't think you'd come.

Hurry.

How long has this been going on?

Almost a week.

Since Zura returned from her camping trip.

She was in the jungle?

Yes.

Hurry.

Hurry.

What do you See?

At last...

You have arrived in our den.

This one is a bit tricky. It could be an... Al-Hinnu (djinn).

What are you waiting for?

Dad!

You can't touch Zura.

She belongs to us now.

(recites the Al-Fatihah)

She's not an Al-Hinnu. Mom. Tell me what to do!

Use your abilities. You can do it!

Iqbal can...

... DIE.

Don't touch my son, demon.

Iqbal!

Help me...

Allahuakbar.

Dear. Dear.

Get the jar. Get the jar.

What happened, my love?

Recite the Azan.

Allahuakbar... Allahuakbar...

It tricked me. It's an Al-Ghillan (malicious djinn).

It wanted to kill Iqbal.

Dear...

Mom.

Surely we belong to Allah (SWT) and to Him we shall return.

Ilya...

Mom...

In the name of God, the infinitely Compassionate and Merciful.

The almighty God who has power to take away the breath of all that is living.

I know...

How much you loved your mother.

But we who are still alive...

Need to keep on living.

You should not talk like that.

She was my mother.

If we hadn't gone there that night...

Mom would still be alive today.

Do you like watching them play?

I'd like it better if I could be like them.

Normal.

Dad.

I don't want to see those things anymore.

What's the point of my abilities if I can't even save my own mother?

It's not your fault that Mom...

We can't fight God's plan.

Let's eat.

How long do we keep searching for our hangout? School's about to start.

The 8th floor is a no-go. That's your druggie Uncle Rahim's turf.

What Uncle? I don't get along with him.

Iqbal, what are you doing here by yourself?

Waiting for your Mom?

Don't be a dick.

Even in death, I bet his mom doesn't smell as bad as yours.

Shut up, boy.

Hello? Yes, Sir?

20 minutes?

Can. Can do.

No problem.

Dad has a client. I have to go. You stay here. Don't go anywhere.

Don't open the door except for your brother or me.

Can't I come along? I'm scared to be alone.

My work is only for men.

I'll be quick.

You can't count on any of these workers.

Useless monkeys.

How do we progress like this?

I'm doing this to help you relax. Don't be so stressed.

Relax my ass.

How do I relax like this?

I'm going to Medan tomorrow.

Into the jungle. Looking for plants.

How's your gorgeous wife?

Ow!

That's my dick. I still use it.

Dina passed.

Why didn’t you say anything?

I've known you both for 5 years now. You're telling me she's dead like it's nothing.

Dying is free. But to meet your maker, you'll need money.

Don't trouble yourself.

Just take it. There's a lot to settle when someone dies.

Take this money.

But you have to help me with something for the next 2 weeks.

Wait for me outside.

Let me take care of this girl.

I heard that there all kinds of ghosts at that place.

Let's just hang out at my house.

I don't want to hang out with your mom. I'd rather hang out with ghosts.

Damn, these kids are everywhere.

Like cockroaches.

Sorry, the lift is broken.

Iqbal, come on.

We have your mom's memorial service after dusk prayers. Follow me.

Is it OK for my son to come along?

Fine.

Nurul, too?

Nurul?

Is that you, Nurul?

Papa...

Come on. She can go back to her own house.

Keep your shoes on. This is not a house, it's a greenhouse.

These are carnivorous plants.

Some are cadaver plants.

And cadavers, they stink.

Nephenthes alata ex trancanta.

This plant is really rare.

Sarracenia, from North America.

You can't find it in Malaysia.

My beloved Titan Arums.

I carried them with my own hands from Sumatra.

My first exotic plants.

They bloom once every eight years.

Only for a day.

I can't miss it.

I've only ever seen it once.

- Before that, we have to feed them. - Feed them?

Come, I'll show you.

Wait until it's rotted before you top it up. Easy.

That room's empty.

There's nothing there. You don't need to go in.

My flight is at 4 a.m. tomorrow. I need to go home and pack.

OK.

Iqbal, I'll bring you some Kopi Luwak from Sumatra.

What's that?

Coffee from a civet cat's butt hole. Kopi Luwaaakk. It's good.

Let me be clear. You are to never enter here.

My task will be done in two weeks.

Then we can forget about this place.

(speaks Cantonese) Popo. I'm going out.

Iqbal, are you okay? You still seem a bit off.

Iqbal... Don't become like my mother. Haunted by the ghost of my sister.

It's not like she's ever coming back.

Here.

Come, let's find Ali and Bob.

They're probably up to no good somewhere.

- I told you I don't have any money. - You sure?

It's true. I don't.

Ohhhh!

My mom wanted me to buy eggs with this.

You have a pair, don't you?

Just give her those.

You must have more on you.

- That's all he has. He doesn't have any more. - Uncle!

What are you doing here, Uncle Rahim?

This girl.

Just stay out of it. I was about to have fun with some 'eggs'.

Come, let's leave.

Don't mess with my friends.

Wow... Soon Nurul. Very soon.

You will be all grown up.

Then I will teach you how to dress like a woman...

How to take care of a man...

How to satisfy a man...

I can teach you all kinds of things.

But for now...

Beat it.

I don’t give a shit.

Leave. Get lost.

Iqbal, are you OK?

- Did he hurt you? - His knife is blunt. My skin is thicker.

Why did he ask us to bring our warm clothes?

Let's wait and see.

How long? Until we turn into stone?

Finally...

Why'd you have to bring her?

There's no one at home. He can't just leave me alone.

You were fine playing ball against small kids. You liked it, even.

It's OK Ilya, stick with me.

Just call me Yaya. We're a gang now, right?

OK, come in.

Wow...

Oooh... What is all this?

Is this a flower?

That's perfect then. You don't need to watch porn anymore.

Your dad's plants are going to be screwed, Ah Boy.

Language, Ali.

Iqbal, where'd you get the keys from?

My dad's taking care of this place for two weeks. While your dad is away in Sumatra.

Wait... So that means... This place is ours?

So he was useful after all.

Ali, Ali, Ali. Look here!

What is it?

Wow!

That is one HUGE flower.

Guys.

Look at this.

Wow!

Don’t bother her, Ali.

Your dad doesn't mess around with his hobby, eh?

It's his business after all. Mom says he makes a lot of money.

Shame he doesn’t share it with his family.

Not with your family. My mom says he doesn't skimp on his second wife's family.

They're all living large.

Only your family isn't.

Your mom? Your mom doesn't know anything.

Hey... why did you say that?

Ah Boy. That Bob... you know how he is.

Whatever. People say all kinds of things about my family.

Ah Boy...

What's that?

What do you guys think is in there?

Give me those keys.

Hey, Ali!

- Hurry up. - Gimme a sec.

Too slow, boy.

- Forget about it, Ali. - Dammit none of them work.

That's enough. Let's leave. We don’t want any trouble.

What did you say?

Leave? Chicken.

Look at this.

- It's nothing. There's nothing to be afraid of! - Guys, enough.

Why are you scared?

It's nothing.

Bob. Wait for me!

What's with the nail?

Is that mucus or blood?

I only see a nail.

Something is not right here.

How...?

Ah Boy, careful.

We need to get out of here. Let's go.

... Little chicks. Now only six remain.

No....

Please....

(recites the Al-Fatihah)

One dead. Another one dies. Only four remain.

Little chicks, little chicks. Now only four are left.

Son... son... I'm here.

What happened last night?

Tell me.

Don't force him, Norman.

Give him some time. He's just a child.

You can tell me.

I'm here now.

I just want to be normal.

Master, we can't leave him like this.

We have to tie his abilities.

We don't know the extent of his abilities.

I don’t think this is a wise decision. Are you sure you want to carry on?

There is no other way.

Now, all your abilities - to see, to feel, to hear and to heal - are tied.

Whether it works or not, is in the hands of God.

This is the Quranic verse to undo it.

If you ever need to.

Thank you, Master.

God willing, that day will never come.

Guide him, Norman.

God willing, you will know what has to be done.

You guys working the night shift, too?

Iqbal's been working the night shift. At the cemetery.

Did Rahim bother you? Nurul told me about it.

Ah Boy is my friend.

What are you saying, Yaya?

Sorry Anna, it's a long story.

I'll send some food over later, ok.

(in Cantonese) Ah Ma, come eat. Is Nurul up yet?

Ah Boy. Ah Boy.

Nobody must know that she is a girl.

You can't force her to be something she's not.

You didn't bring a pillow, Daddy? What if you get scared?

It's OK, honey. I'm used to scary things.

We'll be damned.

We'll be damned.

We'll be damned.

Iqbal.

Iqbal.

Stay back.

Don't get too close.

Hurry.

Maybe he went to get his pillow?

What happened?

Why did you run off? It's just a movie.

Let's go back inside. I want to see that ghost again.

Don't joke around about these things.

So, do you want to go back in?

Sure, my grandma lived like a ghost.... Alone.

But it doesn't make sense why she killed herself.

I can't sleep.

You guys too?

I thought it was just because of my grandma.

Do you guys feel like something's off, since we went up there?

- Where's Ali? - Something's been following me.

- Sounds of a woman weeping. - Cut the crap, Bob.

Let's go look for Ali.

We need to put that mantra paper back.

If you guys want to die so badly, go ahead.

Leave me out of it.

We'll be damned.

We'll be damned.

We'll be damned.

Iqbal.

Are you OK?

You look in the rooms. I'll search this area.

OK.

Ah Boy.

Yes Madam. I found the boy.

It was my morning shift for watering the plants.... According to Jamil's schedule.

- I can't get through his mobile. - He's overseas.

In the jungle. Probably no signal.

Aside from you, who else has access to this place?

To my knowledge, no one. But I'm not too sure.

Ali... He's your friend?

You kids play here often?

We were here yesterday...

What are you talking about, Yaya? Don't make things up.

Let's go.

Yaya, go to your room.

Why did you steal the keys and take Yaya there?

You're really looking for trouble.

Now I had to lie to the cops.

Do you want to go to jail?

I told you not to go there. You thought I was joking?

Stop.

Why was Ali there?

Tell me.

I don’t know how he got in by himself.

But yesterday, I took them there.

Who?

Ali, Bob and Ah Boy.

That room... Ali and Bob tore off the mantra paper.

I feel something was released from in there.

Don't talk rubbish. Your abilities have been tied.

Dad, I can't tell what's real from what's not.

Stop this nonsense. Anyone can buy that 'mantra paper' and stick it on.

Why are you being so stubborn?

I knew it...

You will never understand.

There's so much I can't tell you.

It's hard.

You don't have what Mom and I have.

Our kids are all I have left.

Yes.

Ma'am, I found this phone... on the balcony.

Shut the hell up!

Ah Boy?

Ah Boy?

Ah Boy?

Ah Boy?

Nurul... Ah Boy, if you want to go home, just close the front door before you leave.

OK Uncle.

Yaya, come.

Please take care of my brother.

Does your dad hit you?

Not at all. He's never raised a finger. He just doesn’t understand me.

Ah Boy...

I can see into other dimensions...

All sorts of... beings, spirits, djinns...

Mom always said this is a gift.

But I don't even know what to do with this 'gift'.

So, you are like a superhero? Like the X-Men?

What are you talking about? I'm being serious here. This is not a joke.

Who says I'm joking?

Another thing...

I think I can see when people are going to die.

Last night...

I saw you.

Yeah right.

But, if anything happens to me, you save me OK?

- How long will you need? - Around 15-20 minutes.

Nice.

Come, Yaya.

I'll just pop out to get my top-up.

Remember, don't let anyone else in.

Yaya.

Don't enter this room. Come. Watch me while I work.

Why don’t you just move that pot?

This pot? It's so heavy, Ma'am.

Ma'am.

Just do it.

Who would do this to a child?

Come on guys, was it so hard to just move the damn pot?

What is that?

Looks like a human jaw bone...

Peace be upon you.

Shhhhhhh.

It's ok. Don't be scared.

Don't tell anyone.

Shhhhhhh!

Daddy said to cover my face when I'm scared. But I can still hear....

What?

The sounds... since we went upstairs.

You can hear them too?

That means...

What do you think the policeman is doing up there?

I don’t think that's the policeman.

Let's go.

These damn lifts never work...

Iqbal, where's your Dad?

He called earlier. He apologizes for missing Popo's funeral. He's at the police station.

That's OK. Have you and Ilya eaten? Come eat with Ah Boy.

Yeah, don't pass out like last night.

I'm off to work. Nurul, put away the leftovers. You guys behave, and go to bed early.

Yaya, do you know what happens when Chinese people die?

- They burn the body. - Burn?

Yes, to a crisp. Only a couple of bones left. Then, they store it in a jar.

A jar? Like for ghosts?

For ghosts? What are you on about?

Sister?

That is not your sister.

What are you waiting for?

(tries to recite Quranic verse)

What happened to your powers?

Daddy tied his abilities.

Hello? Kavita?

Sorry, I think I need to take another three days off. My daughter is sick.

Yesterday, another kid was killed here.

I'm so worried.

Thanks, Kavita.

What is it that you want?!

Tell me! What do you want?!

What do you really want?!

Only six remain.

One is dead. Another one dies.

Hah, Iqbal ate it!

Forgive me, Mom.

I could not save you.

Forgive me.

There's nothing to forgive, Iqbal.

You could not have stopped it.

I am no more.

But I will always love you, as you are.

You don't need to be like anyone else.

These are all plans of the Almighty.

Tests that you must undergo.

But Master, you tied my abilities.

It seems only your healing abilities were locked.

Your abilities are extraordinary...

A special pact between you and God...

A responsibility to help others.

Sorry for making you wait, Mr. Norman.

Am I under arrest?

We found his handphone and traces of his blood at flat 10A.

Impossible, Madam.

That's Rahim. The whole building knows that he--

You and Mr. Rahim used the two dead boys to deal drugs, right?

Two boys are dead?

Yes, we found the body of Mohamad Firdaus bin Aziz.

Bob's dead too?

Weren't you in the flat when he died?

This paper... this paper.

It’s the reason for all this. I have to go save my kids.

Mr Norman, calm down. That paper is just some kids game.

- Let me go. My kids are in danger! - Ravi.

We don’t have enough evidence.

Iqbal. Yaya.

Daddy!

Dad... Ah Boy...

Yaya. Listen here...

I know. I have to wait here. And not go anywhere.

Nurul.

Stop.

I want my dad.

(recites the Al-Fatihah)

What is your name?

What is your mother's name?

What is your father's name?

Jamil bin Ahmad.

I don’t know what's gotten into her.

She's become like an animal.

The doctors can't help her, Anna.

What do you mean?

The blisters... The teeth grinding...

She can only remember her father's name. These are all signs...

She's possessed by a demon.

Bob and Ali are dead because of this demon.

Just like Popo.

(tries to recite Quranic verse al-Fatihah)

In the name of God, the infinitely Compassionate and Merciful.

Praise be to God, Lord of all the worlds.

The Compassionate, the Merciful. Ruler on the Day of Reckoning.

You alone do we worship, and You alone do we ask for help.

Guide us on the straight path,

the path of those who have received your grace.

not the path of those who have brought down wrath, nor of those who wander astray.

Amen.

If we don't heal her now, this thing will take our children.

The police. I forgot, they want to ask me some questions.

They can't know that I'm here. I'll explain later.

I met with the Master earlier.

He told me everything.

I'm sorry, Iqbal.

I'm the stubborn one.

Hey... aren't you Mr. Norman's kid? Where's your dad?

What can you tell us about your brother-in-law, Rahim?

Useless. Like his brother.

Sorry but, is Mr. Jamil still your husband?

He ghosted us a long time ago. Just never gave me a divorce.

So, will you untie my abilities to heal?

Just follow me for now...

Until you've learnt enough.

You said your daughter is sick?

Yes. Nurul. She's in her room.

Oh. So whose room is this?

My eldest, Farah.

She went missing eight years ago.

Did you make a police report?

Yes, I did. Back then. But nothing until now.

It's as if the whole world forgot about her.

But you have not forgotten.

I'm still waiting.

Ma'am, we need to get moving. They say it's urgent.

Norman killed him. Dumped his body here.

But the bones... The bloodstains.... There's still a missing piece to this.

Norman. I can't lose another child.

Peace be upon you.

Peace be upon you, Nurul.

You imbecile. I'm not Nurul!

My name is Norman bin Salim. You can talk to me.

Who are you? What do you want?

I am Farah.

Liar. Don't try to fool us, demon.

I don't want to talk to you.

I want to talk to my father.

Jamil, again?

(recites the Al-Fatihah)

We'll be damned... We'll be damned... We'll be damned...

Allahuakbar... Allahuakbar... Allahuakbar... Allahuakbar!

Dad.

Allahuakbar.

Allahuakbar.

Nurul... I'm right here, Nurul.

Mom...

Iqbal...

I can't...

Please help me....

This is dangerous.

Ah Boy could die.

This is a Hantu Raya (Great Ghost).

Are you sure?

Anna, does anyone in your family keep a Hantu Raya?

A Hantu Raya needs a master.

Hantu Raya, djinns... They all just want to mess around with us.

She keeps calling for her father. Maybe he can help?

Jamil....

If there is no other choice.

In the name of God, the infinitely Compassionate and Merciful.

Dad, ask her who its master is.

What's the matter, Iqbal?

You lost your abilities?

- Lost your balls, too? - Don't mess with my son.

Stay away.

Is that the creature?

- Iqbal. - Dad.

Dad. I will make that thing enter me. Please unlock me. Please, Dad--

No!

Don't try to be a hero. That was your mother's mistake.

When you tied my abilities.... Was it for me? Or for you?

I won't let you do it.

Yaya?

Yaya?

Yaya?

Iqbal!

Dad!

Norman.

Where's Ah Boy?

Dad, what are you waiting for?

He is the Knower of the seen and the unseen. The All-Great, Most Exalted.

Go. Save Yaya.

Having fun, Iqbal?

Let her go. Take me.

She's going to die soon. You can't do much with her.

What's so special about you?

Looks like bullshit to me.

Can't you tell?

This kid will be mine.

Laillahaillallah. Laillahaillallah.

You bastard!

Iqbal?

Get out of my son, Satan.

I snap my fingers, and this kid dies.

I seek refuge in Allah (SWT) from the outcast Satan.

In the name of God, the infinitely Compassionate and Merciful.

Wretched filth.

Don't make wild accusations.

I just want to take care of them.

And you, Norman?

Your son is special. Not you.

You stood by and watched Dina die. Just like you will watch Iqbal die.

Because you are weak, Norman!

Unlike Dina. Unlike Iqbal.

You are weak, Norman.

You are weak.

Shut up!

Stay away from me.

My mother is dead.

I know what you are.

You are not my mother, you devil.

Laillahaillallah. Laillahaillallah.

Laillahaillallah. Laillahaillallah.

Allahuakbar. Allahuakbar. Allahuakbar.

Allahuakbar. Allahuakbar.

Daddy, what are you doing?

Uncle?

I just want to help.

I just want to help.

I just want to help.

Don't be afraid, Dad.

Don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid, Dad.

Just like Mom.

Just like me.

I don't want to die.

Your own child... You're worse than an animal!

She's lost a lot of blood. We must save her, Jamil.

She will die if we don't get her to a hospital. Please, Jamil.

Are you crazy?

No!

If you tell anyone about this.... I'll make sure Anna and Nurul suffer.

Quick.

Stop the bleeding. And stop that cursed sound.

She's still alive.

Jamil.

She will not die.

You have to take her to the hospital.

Who are you?

I came here with your beloved plant from Sumatra.

I didn't have a master back then.

When Farah came to tend to your plants, I chose her.

Such a sweet girl...

So pure.

Unlike you!

As long as I'm inside her, I won't let her die.

You bastard.

Who do you think you are?

I am this girl's father.

Come here.

Come, I will get you out.

This is between us. As a family.

I'll give you some money later.

From a Sumatran Batak shaman. Don't ever remove this paper.

Or else...

We'll be damned.

I... didn't mean to...

She was supposed to--

You are worse than an animal.

This is your work?

This is your work?

This is your work?

What did you do?

Anna... Anna... Anna!

Dad.

Farah.

Dad.

You once taught me how to please a man....

How to satisfy a man....

You taught me all kinds of things.

But what a pity that I died.

Your knife was blunt.

But my weapon is vicious.

We need to lock that demon in there.

No, not lock it up. We need to close the portal.

Al-Fatihah.

In the name of God, the infinitely Compassionate and Merciful.

Praise be to God, Lord of all the worlds.

The Compassionate, the Merciful. Ruler on the Day of Reckoning.

You alone do we worship, and You alone do we ask for help.

Guide us on the straight path,

the path of those who have received your grace;

Not the path of those who have brought down wrath, nor of those who wander astray.

Amen.

Your mother always told me to guide you until you are ready.

That was her advice.

I understand now, Dad. I'm not meant to be 'normal'.

God willing, with His guidance, I will do what is needful.

Praise be to God. Come.

Who are those people?

Do you know them?

We'll find out soon enough.

Oh God.

Let's go.
