…speaking at the opening ceremony

for Visit Malaysia 1994.

He said,

"One million foreign tourists are expected

to make Malaysia

their holiday destination this year."

In other news, police are still investigating the death

of Tanjung Pasir Holdings Berhad's chairman, Dato Sri Megat Afdal,

suspected of jumping to his death

from the top floor of his office earlier today.

When contacted,

his wife,

Datin Sri Mary Abdullah said,

she would give an official statement to the media tomorrow morning

dismissing early speculations

surrounding the death of her husband.

According to investigations,

the corpse of Dato Sri Megat Afdal

did not show any signs of struggle

and the case is still classified

as suicide.

The death of Dato Sri Megat Afdal…

Make sure everybody gets this.

Don't worry, Datin Sri.

By tomorrow, everyone will know.

Hurry up.

Hey, Saiful. Where do you think you're going?

Help with the bags.

Everyone takes their own bags, okay?

Here they are,

people from Kuala Lumpur have arrived.

Praise to God, Mr. Salleh. Where's Dad?

Tan Sri is gardening back there.

Dad!

Happy birthday, Dad.

I miss you!

I thought you weren't coming to see me anymore.

Don't say that. Hamdan was busy.

What on earth could he be busy with?

Teaching those college students?

Trying to make an honest living, Father.

Father.

My hands are muddy.

Come.

Dad, Hamdan just opened a new company.

That's why he has been really busy lately. Am I right, honey?

It's just a small company.

I started it with some friends.

That's good.

Starting your own business is good.

You can't just be teaching those college students.

- Grandpa! - Grandpa!

- There they are! My little rascals. - Greet him.

Can I shake your hand?

So cheeky.

Saiful.

Grandpa told us last Eid to never go into his room.

Scaredy-cat!

Saiful.

Saiful.

Come out right now or I'll tell Grandpa.

It hurts.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to.

Saiful? Marina?

My goodness.

Saiful.

How many times have I told you not to go into your grandpa's room?

Why are you so stubborn?

Why did you make your sister cry, Saiful?

She's your sister.

Don't you love her?

How many times do I have to tell you?

I don't want to be with you.

I want you to divorce me.

Divorce me!

Are you listening?

I want you to divorce me!

Melor, honey. Calm down.

Don't you understand?

I want you to divorce me!

This was your mom's vase.

Dad.

Dad, it's okay. I'll clean this up.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRANDPA

Grandpa.

Could you play a song for me?

Come.

Your grandma used to love singing this song.

Listen to my voice

The waves of pain

Speak to my heart

In these words

A thousand secrets are kept

I can't live with you anymore.

I want you to divorce me!

I don't need all this, Karim!

- But I'm helpless - But I'm helpless

Till the end of time

Dad.

Where's Mom?

Ramlah.

Your mom left us.

The secret shall remain mine

Don't you miss Grandma?

Saiful,

Mom told us not to talk about Grandma.

Your grandma used to say,

"If we miss someone,

we should keep them alive in our memories

because every memory is like a prayer."

I swear you will never live in peace, Karim.

Marina, Saiful. Go to your room.

Gosh.

Marina, Saiful. Let's go to bed.

We're going on a picnic tomorrow, right?

Dad.

How many times have I told you?

Don't tell my children these stories.

But you're stubborn.

What's wrong with telling my grandchildren about their grandma?

She never cared about us at all, Dad.

Did you forget what she did to you?

But she is still your mom, Ram.

If she really was my mom, she wouldn't have left us, Dad.

Haven't you realized?

I know you're still upset.

You sent me away to study abroad,

but in the end, I chose to become a housewife.

Do you want to know why?

Because I don't want my kids

to feel the pain of not having their mom around.

Saiful, what's taking you so long?

Hang on.

Saiful! You're always scaring me!

Here.

If you're scared, just use this to talk to me, okay?

Like this.

Raven 1 to Raven 2.

Come in, Raven 2. Over.

The rent is 15.90 ringgit a month.

What are you doing? Dad is still awake.

Mom! Dad!

There's something in the room!

I saw it too.

Relax.

It's just a wiring problem.

It's nothing.

It's okay. I'll buy you a new one.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

As long as I'm around,

I'll make sure nothing can harm our family.

What if both of you fall sick?

Even if we're both sick,

we'll still take care of you and Marina.

One.

- It's not enough. - Over there.

Not enough?

I'm going to look for more shells.

Okay, but don't wander off too far.

Dad, do you hear those birds sounds?

What sounds?

Raven 1 to Raven 2, over.

Come in, Raven 2. Over.

Yes, Saiful.

It's not Saiful. It's Raven 1.

Yes, Raven 1. What is it?

There are bird sounds. Let's take a look.

Negative, Raven 1.

Don't even think about it.

Just play around here.

Dad.

What you said is true, Ram.

It's not that I don't realize it.

To hate someone is easy, Ram.

But to forgive,

that is the hardest part.

I have long forgiven your mom.

Hello, Lan. What's up?

Lan, I designed the lobby according to their specifications.

I should be the one apologizing to you.

I shouldn't have done what I did.

Please forgive me.

Dad, what happened to your fingers?

That's what happens when you're always gardening.

It's common for me.

Marina!

Marina.

Marina. Darling.

- Mom. - Goodness.

What's going on?

What happened?

Dad.

Dad, what is it?

Saiful!

Take care of your grandpa. Saiful!

Saiful!

Saiful!

Ram!

- I told you not to wander too far! - Mom!

Dad!

Ram!

Ram, what is it?

Saiful!

- Ram! - Saiful!

- What is it, Ram? - Where is Saiful?

Saiful was just with me a moment ago.

But I saw him here.

- Saiful! - Saiful!

Saiful!

Honey.

- Saiful! - Saiful!

- Saiful! - Saiful!

Saiful!

Saiful!

Saiful!

Its fingernails were black and sharp.

Like this?

So what do we have?

Okay, never mind. Don't worry, ma'am.

I have ordered all my officers to search for your son in that area.

In the meantime, you should rest.

Maybe after that,

you might remember something else

and you can tell us what actually happened.

All right?

I know it's my fault.

I shouldn't have taken that call earlier.

I know you're worried, Ram.

But please don't be like this.

Saiful hasn't eaten yet.

I can't let him go hungry when he comes back.

Mom!

Saiful?

- I'm scared, Mom! - Saiful?

Honey?

Honey?

Mom.

Saiful?

- Mom! I'm over here! - Saiful!

Saiful!

Saiful.

Ram.

Saiful.

I heard Saiful's voice.

He was in here.

Ram, who was here?

There's nobody here, Ram.

Ram, there's nobody here.

Search efforts during the first 48 hours are very crucial

because the victim's safety is highly at risk beyond this period.

And as of now,

he has been missing for more than 24 hours

and the police are actively conducting

our search and rescue operations

in the area.

Have any superior officers provided any comments

because the missing child here is not just anyone.

He's the grandson of Tan Sri Abdul Karim.

As officers of the law,

we conduct the operations

without taking into account who the victim is.

We also request anyone

who may have information

connected to this disappearance

to help notify us

and assist us in our operation.

Tan Sri Abdul Karim,

who suffered a stroke

at the same time his grandson went missing,

is still in critical condition.

- He is currently warded… - Where are you going?

I'm going to help the villagers look for Saiful.

I'm going with you.

Ram.

You haven't had any sleep yet.

You'll be safer here looking after Marina.

I'll look for him until I find him.

I promise.

Excuse me, ma'am.

May I know how long your dad has suffered from anemia?

Anemia?

His red blood cell count is very low.

Many of his internal organs are also damaged.

But why now, doctor?

My dad was never ill before this.

How is he, Ram?

What did the doctor say?

Did Dad ever mention he was unwell, Mr. Salleh?

Not at all.

Do you know where I can find an ustaz?

Save us from the darkness and admit us to light.

O Allah, my God,

I beg you, O Allah.

Please find Saiful for me.

Grant me guidance.

Show me that Saiful is still alive, O Allah.

- Amen... - Help me, Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Why can't you see me, Mom?

I'm right here, Mom.

Run! There's a ghost!

Mom! This ghost is not scary at all!

- Hi, dear! - Hi!

One, two, three!

Mom?

You will never live in peace, Karim.

Mom!

Saiful?

Darling?

Mom. I'm hungry.

You promised to take care of me, but you lied!

Mom!

Are you okay?

Did you find anything?

Nothing.

We'll try again tomorrow.

I'm not going insane, right?

I asked you to call an ustaz.

Who is this?

This is Che Yah.

She's an old-timer here.

Whenever we have problems, we go to her for help.

Who's that, Mom?

Marina, go inside.

I'll come back to the house in a while.

Marina, go inside!

Enough. No need to make it pretty.

The seventh king, the king of anteaters.

The night flower of the one who calls.

Come in ranks, come not alone.

Your master summons you.

The being that kidnapped your son is here.

It has taken your son to the realm of souls.

Twenty-four river stones be your heart,

areca roots be your bones,

rose leaves be your skin,

clay be your body,

nipa leaves be your tail!

Che Yah.

You don't have to try so hard.

They've paid us already.

Marina!

Marina! Marina, run!

Marina! Run!

Mom.

Saiful?

Please help me, Mom.

I'm in pain.

- I'm in pain. - My God. Saiful.

I'm in pain.

Just let me take care of him.

One, two, three!

Dad.

Ma'am.

Tan Sri,

if you need to call the nurse,

just press this button.

Dad.

I know who took Saiful.

I still remember.

Before Mom left us,

she drew these.

She was using black magic.

You will never live in peace, Karim.

Who was she, really?

I remember she swore your life would be cursed.

Is that it? Is that why she took Saiful?

Dad.

- Dad. - Ram.

Ram.

I know who took Saiful.

He…

Fine, if you don't believe me.

Suit yourself.

I'll search for my son myself.

Ram.

Your daughter hasn't eaten anything today.

I asked you to do just one thing. Take care of Marina.

Is that so difficult?

Take care of Marina?

How did you take care of Saiful?

If you had taken care of him, all of this wouldn't have happened.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad!

Dad!

He said, "If only my people knew

of how my Lord has forgiven me and made me one of the honorable."

We did not send any soldiers from the heavens

against his people after his death

nor did We need to.

Raven 2 to Raven 1.

Saiful?

Saiful.

Don't you want to come back?

If you come back,

I promise

I won't scold you anymore.

But you have to come back.

In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful.

Ya-Sin.

By the Quran, rich in wisdom.

You, O Prophet, are truly one of the messengers.

Mom!

I seek forgiveness in God.

- Mom! - Saiful!

How much more are you going to torture me?

Give me back my son!

Mom isn't well, dear.

She can't take care of you anymore.

She's sick.

When Saiful was born,

he had jaundice.

Do you remember?

He was in the hospital for 12 days.

I'm running late.

I went back and forth to the hospital

until Saiful recovered.

I did everything on my own.

I was busy with work back then.

That's always your excuse.

You haven't changed at all.

Your career is going nowhere.

Our lives are a complete mess.

Have you gone insane, Ram?

Don't say I've gone insane.

I'm not insane!

You!

If you've failed in everything you've ever done,

do you still think you'll find Saiful?

Yes, you're right.

I'm completely useless.

Nothing I do ever works!

Satisfied?

That's all you wanted to hear, right?

Since the beginning, you've always looked down on me.

Who told you to marry me?

You're not the only one in pain, Ram.

Saiful is my son too.

Did you find anything?

Nothing up here, Sergeant.

All right, come back down.

Call everybody up there to come down too.

Let's go down first.

Sergeant, please.

Please, let's continue for just one more hour.

Mr. Hamdan, it's going to be dark soon.

I have to stop the operation and call my people back.

We'll reassess and continue the search tomorrow.

Sergeant, over here!

Over here, Sergeant!

Raven…

Raven 2.

Saiful?

Saiful, do you hear me?

I'm not insane.

Marina?

Marina!

Marina!

Marina!

Marina!

Marina!

Marina!

Ram!

I want you dead!

What are you doing, Ram?

I told you the demon is here!

Kill it!

Kill it, Hamdan!

Marina?

Marina.

- Marina? - Marina.

Marina.

Tell Dad, Marina.

Tell him, my dear.

You saw it too.

That thing hurt you, Marina.

- Tell him, Marina. - Don't touch her, Ram!

Marina, tell your dad what you saw.

Marina!

Hamdan!

Where are you going?

Where are you taking her?

Ma'am, we found this earlier.

Your husband identified it

as Saiful's shirt.

This is not my son's shirt.

This is not Saiful's shirt.

You're wrong.

You're wrong. This is not Saiful's shirt.

This is not my son's shirt.

That was Saiful's shirt.

Saiful is still alive!

The demon in this house is hiding him!

We have to find him!

We have to find him.

Where are you going?

This can't be solved by running away!

Ram!

Do you remember what you said when we got married?

You promised

you wouldn't hurt your husband.

You wouldn't neglect your children, like your mom did!

But I realize it now, Ram.

You and your mom are just the same.

Marina.

Marina.

Marina.

Please don't leave me.

Marina!

Marina, I'm sorry.

Don't leave me!

Marina.

Marina!

Marina!

I'm not insane. I'm not.

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

I'm here, Mom!

Help me, Mom!

Mom!

I'm here, Mom!

I'm here.

Mom!

Mom, help!

Mom!

I'm here, Mom.

Open it!

Mom!

Mom!

This is all your fault!

What else do you want? I'm exhausted!

I'm tired of this.

Why did you leave Mom

alone at Grandpa's house?

Your mom…

Your mom is unwell.

Fortunately, I came back when I did. If not?

She's not unwell, Dad.

I saw it too.

What do you mean you saw it too?

Who taught you to lie?

I saw it too. That thing.

I wanted to say something just now,

but I was too scared.

That's Mom.

Don't you love her anymore?

I seek forgiveness in God.

TANJUNG PASIR HOLDINGS BERHAD'S CHAIRMAN DATO SRI AFDAL

JUMPED TO HIS DEATH

DATIN SRI MARY ABDULLAH STILL MISSING

TAN SRI ABDUL KARIM

MADE THE NEW CHAIRMAN OF TANJUNG PASIR HOLDINGS BERHAD

Back off! Let go of me!

You're sick, Melor!

You're the one who's sick.

Take back this cursed book of yours.

I asked the clerics from the mosque.

They said this is all black magic.

Black magic to summon evil spirits and jinns!

All that we have is because of this.

- I did all this for us. - No!

You did all this for yourself!

Then what?

Do you want to live out on the streets?

Ramlah to grow up poor? Is that what you want?

I would rather die than see my family become slaves to the devil.

Ramlah is coming with me

because you don't deserve to be her dad.

You don't need her anymore.

Take her blood

and you will remain in power.

But you must take an oath.

You will pass me down your bloodline.

Dad.

Where's Mom?

You're not my mom.

You're a demon that my dad bound by blood.

A demon who was kept to amass wealth and power.

But Dad became ill.

He never got the chance

- to pass you down to me. - Grandpa.

- You're a demon with no master. - Grandpa!

That's why you took Saiful.

You tore my family apart!

You chased everyone away from me because…

Because you need a new master.

You want me to be your new master!

Saiful!

My God.

Saiful!

I can take his place.

I will never leave you.

I will be by your side.

Forever.

I would rather die than see my family become slaves to the devil.

I would rather die than see my family become slaves to the devil.

I would rather die than see my family become slaves to the devil!

Allah is the greatest!

There's no God but Allah!

Mom?

Saiful.

Saiful.

- Mom! - Marina!

I asked you to stay in the car.

I want to help Mom.

It's dangerous, Marina.

You don't have to worry.

I'll take care of you. Okay?

Mom!

Marina!

Stubborn.

- Marina. - Mom.

- Wait. - Mom.

Ram?

Saiful.

Saiful.

My God. Saiful.

Saiful.

Saiful.

Take care of Saiful.

Dad!

Ram.

Have you gone insane, Ram?

Where are you going?

This can't be solved by running away!

Ram!

Ram.

Ram?

Ram.

Mom.

Ram.

Ram, it's me.

Hamdan.

I'm Hamdan, your husband.

Ram.

Mom!

Mom!

I promised you. Remember?

I promise that I will always protect both of you.

There is no god worthy of worship

except Him, the Ever-Living, All-Sustaining.

Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him.

Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him.

He fully knows what is ahead of them and what is behind them,

but no one can grasp any of His knowledge, except what He wills to reveal.

His Seat encompasses the heavens and the earth…

His Seat encompasses the heavens and the earth…

and the preservation of both does not tire Him.

For He is the Most High, the Greatest.

…and the preservation of both does not tire Him.

For He is the Most High, the Greatest.

Mom.

Mom.

Ram?

Marina.

Mom!

- Mom. My God. - Mom.

Ram.

Ram.

Mom.

Hurry, Marina!

Honey.

Hurry.

Ram.

Hurry, honey.

- Honey! - Dad!

Saiful. Marina.

Bring them there.

Marina and Saiful can both fit through.

Hurry.

Don't look over there! Look here!

What is it?

I love you.

Quick, Ram.

Hurry up, Saiful!

Hurry!

What about Dad?

- Dad! - Dad!

Take care of our children, Ram.

Honey!

Run!

Honey!

Run!

TWO MONTHS LATER

You always told us

that Grandma abandoned you, Mom.

I was wrong.

I used to believe

your grandma abandoned your grandpa and me.

But now, I realize the truth.

Your grandma was the one who loved me the most.

Just like your dad.

Why did we bury him next to Grandpa's grave?

Did you forget what Grandpa did?

"To hate someone is easy.

But to forgive,

that is the hardest part."

He is still your grandpa.

Mom, where are we going?

I don't know.

Why don't you and Saiful suggest a place?

I'll just follow along.

Saiful, where do you want to go?

Saiful.

What's wrong?

Nothing.
