All language subtitles for Women from Rote Island 2024-engcp

Sister Koba,

Mr. Lukas…

do you know when Martha is coming home?

- I don't know.
- Orpa.

Koba?

I spoke with Orpa yesterday.

She insisted on waiting
until Martha came home.

Where is Orpa now?

She's resting inside.

Please call her.

Why is it like this?
She doesn't even know…

- Sister Orpha!
- …when Martha is coming.

My daughter-in-law was too uncompromising.

Especially since this was Abram's request.

- We have to wait for information.
- Yes, Father.

Have a seat.

Martha's mother,

we had a discussion.

If Martha doesn't come home…

She will.

- Will she?
- Absolutely.

But what if…

Thank you, Sister.

She will.

- Excuse me.
- Please.

You already suggested it.

- Yes.
- The other families too.

We'll just wait for her.

We're inconveniencing the villagers.

This is Abram's last wish.

Please understand.

- Martha will come home.
- Yes.

- Let's wait.
- Wait a little longer.

Mother.

Uncle Yahya said we can get more ice
at the fish market if we need some.

Uncle Habel is ordering it.

Let's wait some more.
We can do that, right?

- Yes, let's wait.
- Please.

The embassy can't do much
because this is too sudden.

And it turns out…

Martha is an illegal worker.

Says who?

Habel.

- That's what I was worried about.
- You take care of it.

You take care of it, quickly.

Now, she's illegal. What do we do?

Please take a seat.

- I don't know what else to do.
- Thank you, sir.

Oh, no!
Martha doesn't work at that place anymore.

What do you mean?

I'm sorry, Sister.

It was my friend's company.

- I tried to help…
- You said she was legal. Now, she isn't.

What's it going to be tomorrow?

Mother…

I'm sorry, I just found out.

Everybody knows.

You have to pay to get a job.

Just money and money…

I want an explanation, Habel.

Martha will be home soon.

If you just want to hurt her…

Mother!

No sane man would want
to hurt a woman's heart.

Because we all were born
through a bloody vagina.

Hello, sir?

I'm with Martha's mother now.

Everybody's mad at me now.

Sister, I'm sorry.

Please talk to him.

Sister, I'm sorry. Please talk to him.

Hello, sir.

Yes, Martha cannot be contacted.

Did she lose her phone?

What kind of sickness does she have, sir?

Sir, we beg you, please get in touch
with your people at work.

Yes. Martha needs to come home now!

What's this?

Mother, don't do this.
We agreed to wait until Martha's home.

How much longer, Orpa?

- Soon. God, why are you doing this?
- Hush!

People keep asking. What do we tell them?

They've asked the elders, Father Albert,

the villagers…

This is our business, not theirs.

But we've inconvenienced
the whole village.

Mother, please.

Keep your voices down.

There are people outside.

It's been more than a week, Lukas.

We're wasting time, money, energy…

Abram was my son.

We bury him today, tomorrow at the latest.

But Martha is
your granddaughter, isn't she?

If this is how you deal with it,
even Lord Jesus would regret being born.

Take care of it yourselves.

Orpa!

Listen to me.

How long can the spices,
vinegar and formaldehyde hold up?

This was Abram's last request, Mother,

no funeral until Martha got home.

- We've talked about this.
- We still can't reach anyone.

- I carried her. I gave birth to her.
- Oh, God…

- Martha is my child.
- If it's like this, I'll get mentally ill!

She'll come home, Mother.

Sister. Sister.

Sister. Listen to me.

We're going to have a service tonight.

Don't be like this.

You said she was in Selangor.
Now, she's in Sabah.

Her new boss in Sabah
is contacting the estate, Mother.

It's okay to believe in something.
But be sane about it.

Poor Mother,
you have an insane daughter-in-law.

- You guys…
- Sister.

Mother!

- Ah…
- If this is how it's going to be,

I'll just go back to Kupang.

- You're being childish.
- Mother, why else?

Abe, Koba,
take your mother inside to rest.

Let's go, Mother. Let's rest.

No respect to the elders.

- We came all the way here…
- Not everyone is here, Mother.

- Let's go inside.
- You won't listen to us.

You're causing trouble again.

There are a lot of people outside.
Mother, don't be like this.

Mother, how did it get to be this way?

It's okay, Mother.

- Mother!
- We came from afar to honor Abram…

- Get inside.
- But you and all of you here…

- We've been seen by a lot of people.
- I'm talking, but no one is listening.

Oh my God. Please, Mother.

- Make it ten.
- That makes it cheaper.

So?

It's ten for nine pieces.

If it's ten for nine pieces,
you can take it.

You can't get that.

Okay then.

It's ten for nine pieces.

No, ten for eight pieces.

- Can you get me that small one?
- This one?

You brat!

- Who was that?
- Whose boy is that?

Why?

- He pressed his dick against my bottom.
- That brat.

Whose boy is that?

- So uneducated.
- Probably takes after his father.

What a brat.

Unbelievable.

Sister!

I don't know whose boy he was.

Ask Chris.

He knows the boys in the market.

Let Chris crush his neck.

You should've hit him.

I'll just tell Uncle Abe.

What happened to you?

- Uncle Abe!
- It's okay, Orly.

This boy in the market
pressed his penis against her bottom.

He must've been born
through a toilet hole.

Why did you go to the market?

You could've asked your neighbors.

Abram has been lying at rest
for eight days because of you.

Now, you're acting up again.

You got harassed, didn't you?

That's because you violated our tradition.

You could've asked Kiyah or Orly to go.

You chose to do it yourself like a savage.

Please stop it.

I had woken up and found out
we'd run out of spices.

You're not allowed to go out either.

My fault.

- We're embarrassed enough as it is.
- Ignorant of tradition.

The neighbors are talking about us.

She's always so outrageous.

She's causing trouble again.

Sister.

They're all doubting…

that Martha will come home.

They said…

the Lord Father is
resting on the eighth day.

I'm waiting.

We're all waiting.

Because I believe…

that God never breaks his promise.

Martha will come home.

Abram…

Abram…

I'm having a hard time here.

The sheep are starving because the grass…

- Shalom. Good morning, Sister.
- Shalom, good morning.

Sister, I heard that Martha
can be contacted.

Surely, the arm of the Lord
is not too short to save

nor his ear too dull to hear.

- Hallelujah, Isaiah 59:1.
- Yes.

- And sin hinders salvation.
- Amen.

The people here also helped
so sister Martha would come home soon.

All right, Sister.

- Keep praying that everything goes well.
- Yes.

- I'm sorry, I can't help out yet.
- That's fine.

- Okay, I take my leave. Sister, Clara.
- Okay.

Okay.

Let's go, Uncle.

Go.

In that case,
the man was sentenced to death, right?

- Clara. Give me the scoop, Clara.
- He deserves to be sentenced to death.

He killed his child.

- His flesh and blood!
- That's too bad. That's sinful.

- A child doesn't know anything.
- Because of love.

- Thank you, dear. Check the rice, okay?
- Yes, Grandma.

But if not getting…

Pitiful.

- They said his wife was also involved.
- Please add the side dish, dear.

Maybe

they had already promised
each other something.

- Koba.
- His life is already comfortable,

- yet he's doing something like that.
- Please take this to the front.

Since they were in high school.

- They are dating.
- Koba.

- Yes, Mother?
- The perpetrator and the victim.

Munah, watch out.

- Done, Mother.
- Well.

- Grandma.
- The perpetrator is from Rote.

Yes, dear.

- The victim is also from Rote.
- Excuse me. Excuse me.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

- What?
- Kupang.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

- Sister.
- Add the crackers and the meat, okay?

- Has Hamid brought the rice yet?
- Not yet.

Habel said he had already arrived here.

- He's not here.
- He's taking too long.

- Hamid, you are taking too long.
- Hamid, please put it there.

Thank you, Hamid.

Oh, the rice is not enough.

Thank you, Hamid.

- Is the rice not enough?
- Yes.

Put it there, Orly.

Pitiful.

Grandma… The rice is not enough.

- Take it here.
- They said he was on trial.

- Watch out, dear.
- Yes, Grandma.

- The case could get bigger.
- Oh, be careful.

Mother… Mother!

Uncle Habel called,
and he said they would arrive soon.

Martha?

Yes!

Uncle Habel and the village chief
picked her up in Kupang.

Thank God.

- Thank you, Jesus.
- Alhamdulillah.

Finally, she's back home.

Sister, God bless you.

God Almighty.

I apologize for speaking harshly to you.

My apologies, dear.

Okay.

We're here.

Slowly now.

Okay, here.

Make way.

Go there.

Make way.

- Clear the way.
- Mother.

The village chief…

Excuse us, make way.

Make way.

Martha's back.

Martha!

Thank you, Village Chief. Thanks a lot.

Habel.

Come on, let's walk.

Let her through.

Abram.

Martha's home.

Dear,

your father's been waiting a long time.

Pray for him, okay?

Slow and steady.

The rope.

Let's start.

Give the rope to me.

Three… Okay.

Hold it.

- Yes.
- Okay.

Okay, be careful.

- Keep going.
- Lower it.

Keep going.

Abram.

Things are hard for me now.

There's just me and the kids now, Abram.

First, the Lord God formed man
from the dust of the earth.

And unto dust he shall return.

The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away.

Praise be to Jesus.

- Farewell, Brother.
- Abram.

Brother Abram, farewell.

Rest in peace in Heaven.

Brother Abram was too kind.

Hey, Martha.

Don't do that.

Martha, that's enough.

You can't do that.

Get up.

Get up!

This is a public place,

not a private beach.

What if people see you?

They said you fell.

When?

Habel told us.

He couldn't reach you

because you lost your cell phone.

And he said you got sick too.

Sick with what?

What did you get sick with?

God…

- God, help me
- Eh?

God, help me…

Martha?

- Mother, he jumped.
- Who?

- Mother, he jumped.
- Martha!

- Mother, he's here.
- Who?

- Mother!
- Martha. What's wrong with you?

- Mother!
- There's no one here, Martha.

Mother, he's here! Mother.

- There's no one here.
- Mother, help!

What is it, Mother?

- There's no one here.
- Sister.

What is it, Mother?

Sister?

- Help me!
- Sister.

- There's no one.
- Mother, he's here.

Sister.

Mother, help me.

- Mother, help me.
- There's nobody here, sweetie.

There's nobody here.

- Help me.
- What is it?

I don't understand.

No one's here.…

Sister.

I don't know what got into her.

Nobody's here, sweetie. Nobody's here.

Nobody's here.

I'm here.

Nobody's here.

Everyone makes mistakes, ma'am.

It's a good thing you came to your senses.

It's like in the movies, isn't it?

Good people and bad people
are born every day.

I could've refused at the time.

Please let me help.

But I'd seen my mother
in her wheelchair for so long.

If she knew that Aji
wouldn't take responsibility…

So she never knew?

Not even when she passed away a week

after our engagement.

What about the rest of the family?

My father knew.

He eventually agreed
that we shouldn't get married.

Why didn't you tell Martha?

I did tell her.

She got angry.

It's understandable that she did.

But a month later, I heard
that she'd gone to Malaysia.

It's like you said…

As a man who was born
through a bloody genital…

Martha, I am sorry.

Let's go.

Come in.

I forgot to move that.

It should be here.

I've got a new neighbor across the street.

We got that one in Oesiri.

Santigi.

I thought it had died.

Depends on how we take care of it, right?

Your father?

He only stayed here a few months.

Then he went to live
with Una in Yogyakarta.

- There's so little chili sauce here.
- Has Una gotten married yet?

Una?

Her friends say she's never even dated.

Is she still studying at UGM?

Yeah.

This fish is so good.

You'll love it.

Sorry about the mess.

I forgot to shut the door.

The dogs and chicken got in.

That's a hummingbird.

No, really.

Rote people don't keep birds.

That's a good thing, right?

Leaves more of them in the wild.

Come on, It's ready. And I'm hungry.

Come on.

I only bought one portion of rice
because I don't eat much.

Have a seat.

A spoon. Coming up.

I went to your house, and nobody was home.

We've been here all day.

I've got some pork se'i from Orly.

- Thank you, Sister.
- Yes.

She delivered it for us earlier.

- Awesome.
- Watch out, it's slippery.

Did you get a good haul?

- Pretty good.
- Okay, I'm off.

- Thank you, Sister.
- OK.

- Sister!
- Yes?

I'll drop off your share tomorrow.

OK.

Thank God, we were given some meat.

Did you get much?

Yeah, it was pretty good.

Why did she leave so soon?

Maybe nobody's home,

so she wanted to head right back.

What kind of bird is that?
Is it a Garuda bird?

No, Ina, that's a hummingbird.

Brother Damar, where are you going
to deliver the flowers next?

There's a foreigner from Nembrala
who ordered some plants.

Why? Do you want to come along?

No, thanks. Anyway,
we're going in different directions.

Uncle Damar, what do they eat?
Do they eat rice like us?

No, Ina.

Those birds eat sugary water,
honey, milk and even worms.

My teacher said we shouldn't eat
worms, or we'd get sick.

Ina, if you eat worms, you'll get sick,

but for the birds, it's healthier.

- Because there is honey and milk, right?
- Ask Brother Damar.

Uncle Damar,
why isn't the bird singing anymore?

Wasn't it chirping nonstop earlier?

Noisy.

Bird… come on bird. Bird. Bird.

Be careful, Ina.

- Bertha, I have to leave now.
- Okay.

What's that red thing?

Martha.

And what about the big one?

- Those are its vitamins.
- Then why is the red bird different?

- It's not like the other birds.
- It's a unique bird, right, Ina?

- Will it grow big later on?
- Definitely.

Because it looks very small.

Ina. This chatterbox
just loves to disturb you.

- Bye-bye, Sister.
- Bye-bye.

Take care, Ina. Bye.

- Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye.

- See you tomorrow.
- Bertha, Martha.

- Sister.
- Yes?

Here's your share.

Abe, help me out.

- Shalom. Good morning, Sister.
- Morning.

- Uncle!
- Clara, make sure it's purified.

- Morning.
- Yes.

Martha, make sure
the rings are all the same size.

- Sister.
- Yes?

- I'm off.
- Okay.

Koba is alone under the tree.

Okay.

Clara!

Martha!

Keep stirring it.

Yes.

- Clara, you take over.
- Yes, ma'am.

- Shalom.
- Shalom.

- Orpa.
- Uncle Theo!

- Sorry, I just arrived from Alor.
- Really?

- I'm sorry for your loss.
- Thank you.

Martha, Bertha,

- it's Uncle Theo.
- Hello.

- Uncle Theo.
- Bertha,

you're all grown up.

This is Clara, Abe's niece.

She's already grown.

Martha, it's Uncle Theo.

- Hello, Martha.
- Martha!

Don't you remember me?

- Martha, it's Uncle Theo.
- Datuk. (Malay for chief)

Friend of your late father.

It's Datuk, Mother.

- No. It's me, Uncle Theo.
- Mother, it's Datuk.

Hey, it's Uncle Theo.

Clara, Bertha, make him go away.
It's not, Sister.

What's with that child?

I don't know. She's been like that
since she got back from Malaysia.

I'm so sorry. Please don't get mad.

Please. This is dangerous.

- You have to take her to the hospital.
- Yes, we'll take her later.

- Take her to Kupang if possible.
- We will.

Please don't get mad. I'm so sorry.

I wonder what got into her.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.
I don't know why she's acting like that.

Please don't get mad.

It's all right. Well, in that case…

I'll be off.

- Yes, Uncle Theo.
- Take good care of her.

I'm so sorry. Please don't get mad.

It's okay. Here, I've got some money.

Thank you very much.

- Get her treated.
- Yes, Uncle Theo.

- Clara, I'm off.
- Please don't get mad.

Please don't get mad.

- Clara, take care of that.
- Okay.

Child, what's going on?

That was Uncle Theo.

What's wrong with you?

Mother,

I'm off to school.

Okay. Take care.

Mother, we're off.

- Take care. Don't speed.
- Shalom, Orly.

- Shalom, Uncle Kobis.
- Bertha.

Uncle Kobis.

- Morning, Sister.
- Morning.

Hard at work, are we?

Just a little.

Need any help?

I'm fine.

Clara, where's Martha?

She was out front just now.

Bertha!

Bertha!

What?

I can't get down.

How did you get up there?

I just climbed.

There are some baby birds here.

Put them back.

Their mother will miss them.
They could die.

They must be hungry and thirsty.

Put them back.

Get down.

- Bertha, how do I get down?
- Look at that.

A moment.

Hey!

What are you looking at?

Nothing.

What were you looking at?

Nothing.

Sister, crouch down.

Close off your skirt.

You, go away.

Go away!

Go look up your mother's. Go away.

Go away.

Bertha, I want to come down.

Just retrace your steps.
How did you get up there?

I don't know.

Wait.

Hey!

Hey!

What is it now?

Can you help us or not?

Help with what?

Help her get down.

You told us off.
Now, you're calling us back.

Crouch down.

Wait. Wait.

Wait.

- Wait up, Sister.
- Wait.

- Crouch down.
- Okay.

Stand up.

Step on this. Step on this.

Ruben, go up.

Come down.

Sister!

- You pervert!
- What?

- I've been watching you.
- Why did you hit me?

You pervert!

Look, we helped you! We helped you!

You've been taking advantage of her.

You're so ungrateful.

Hey!

She's got a machete.

Run! She's got a machete.

Sister!

Marco, Ruben, wait up!

Hey!

Ruben! Which way?

Uncle, Auntie, help. She's got a machete.

What can I do for you?

Have mercy!

You can fix it, right?

- That'll be tricky.
- Huh?

This looks really bad.

But you can fix it, right?

I'll do my best.

Please do.

Ezra, help. She's got a machete.

Hey!

What do you want?

- What do you want?
- Martha!

Drop that machete. Drop it.

- Sister Martha?
- Drop that machete.

Sister!

- Sister Martha!
- Are you going to drop it or not?

I'm sorry.

She was going after Marco, not him.

Goddamn it!

She's pissing me off.

I'm sorry, Mrs. Munah.

- This is dangerous.
- I know. I'm so sorry.

Take her home.

Come here. What are you doing?

Marco!

I'll tell Mother.

That's enough.

Stop acting like this.

Me'i's boy was behaving really badly.

Who was the other boy?

Marco, Mother.

Marco?

Yeah, the kid who hangs out at Temanu.

Oh, that one?

Yeah.

That kid was born brain-dead.

When we get to the market,
stay close to me.

You must learn to control yourself.

Do you hear me? Martha!

Staying away from trouble
doesn't mean you're a coward.

The difference
between us and these cows is…

Humans have moral values and a conscience.

Whatever problem we face,
we must learn to forgive.

It's not easy,

but we must learn,
so people won't make a fool of us.

Na…

Ina!

Gosh.

Hey!

Go home!

Ina.

I told you to wait at home.

I told you to wait at home.

Go home.

Sister!

- Martha is acting scary.
- What's wrong with her?

Magic toys. Magic toys.

Love your child, love your child.

If you love your child, buy these toys.

If you love your wife, have a child.

Come buy, magic toys here!

- Orpa!
- How much is it?

Ten thousand rupiah.

- Orpa!
- What about that one?

- Thirteen thousand rupiah
- Me'i!

Oh, my goodness.

- Me'i.
- Orpa.

- It's been so long.
- I know, right?

- Orpa, I'm so sorry for your loss.
- Thank you.

I heard you live in Kupang.

Not anymore.
I've been here for three months.

I see. What about your husband?

Ah…

- We split up.
- Let's move over here.

- You split up?
- Yeah.

How come?

You know men.

The moment they make good money,
they look for another woman.

And women who want to get rich quickly
will take someone else's man.

Oh,

let's move over here,

so we can talk freely.

Do you know what
I call men like your husband?

A low-grade prick.

Excuse me, ma'am.

And then?

And what about the kids?

The oldest one lives in Kupang.
She works for a family there.

The youngest, Ruben, lives with me.

Ah, Ruben.

Orpa, he's been bad. I'm so sorry…

- What he did to Martha…
- Let's move over here.

But he used to go to school with Bertha.

That's the thing.
I just heard about what he did yesterday.

I'm sorry too. Please don't get mad.

By the way, can I have your number?

- Get me my phone. It's in my bag.
- Please don't get mad.

Get me my phone.

Hey, how's Martha doing now?

Martha? She's doing fine.

Thank goodness.

She was with me.

Hey, Me'i.
Let's continue this conversation later.

- I have to go now. Bye-bye.
- Bye.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Both? Thank you.

Dear, come here. Only 10,000 rupiah.

No. No. No.

- Eight thousand rupiah, ma'am.
- No, sir!

- Seven thousand, ma'am.
- No. I don't have money.

There are so many toys at home already.

Ma'am, this toy can imitate bird sounds.

The bird is chirping.
You don't want a bird?

- I want to buy one.
- Wait.

Ten thousand rupiah.

Wait for my mother.

Thank you, dear.

If these things sold this well every day…

So much money…

The Rote girls could come
to line up from here to there,

just like lining up for gas.

Uncle, where is mine?

What?

There are none left.
If you want the stuff, bring the money.

The early bird catches the worm.

I said to wait for my mother!

Oh, sad.

"I said wait for my mother."

Even then, I still can't.
How long should I wait?

Until the Dead Sea fills up again?

No. Anyway, I have to go.

Uncle, I want that one.

Sister, this is someone else's order.

This one has been reserved
by someone else. That one too.

So I have to deliver it.

- There are none left.
- I want that one!

This one doesn't make any sound.

Someone reserved it, but
it doesn't make any sound. Look at this,

- look at this. No sound!
- What about this one?

This one? It doesn't make any sound!

It's making a sound!

Sometimes, it makes a sound,
and sometimes, it doesn't.

- Hey! What's going on here?
- You damn liar!

What is happening?

Ouch.

- Datuk.
- What's happening?

- Why?
- Don't, sir. Please don't!

- What happened?
- Don't, sir. Please don't!

- Why?
- Don't!

What's going on here?

- Don't, sir. Please don't!
- I don't know.

- Please don't!
- Why? Hey?

Sir. I'm sorry, my child is sick.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, sir.

What's been happening here, huh?

I don't know.

She forced me to sell her this toy.
She didn't have money, so she hit me.

So if you're going to trade,
trade the right way.

Yes, sir. But she came
and hit me straight away…

But this is 10,000 rupiah.
Do you want to buy it?

Sorry.

- Bertha.
- Brother Damar.

- Where's Martha?
- She's inside.

Here? With your mother?

Yes.

For a while now.

All right.

- Mother.
- Damar.

How's Martha doing?

Overall, she's doing okay.

The lab results will come out next week.

The doctor suggested taking her to Kupang
for further examination.

He'll issue a referral letter later.

- Ma'am.
- Doctor.

Ma'am, according to the results,
Martha should be taken to Kupang.

- Yes, Doctor.
- We'll issue the referral letter later,

then you can take her
to a psychiatrist there

- for further consultation.
- Yes, Doctor.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Please excuse me.

Sister.

We need to make time
to take Martha to Kupang.

Okay. The sooner, the better.

So she can recover quickly.

She's been through a lot.

Ouch.

What are you doing here?

This fell off. Might've been the wind.

Oh.

Where's Bertha?

She's at home.

Oh. I thought there were just eggs.

No, there were more of them yesterday.

Maybe other animals ate them.

Can you help me put them back up there?

Poor things, they must be thirsty.

Done.

Let's get a ladder to make it easier.

Come on.

Hop on.

Just put those down.

No, other animals will get them.

They won't. Come on.

Come on, let's get a ladder.

From where?

By the beach over there.

A ladder washed up onshore. Come on.

Hop on.

Sister!

Sister Martha!

Where did she go?

Sister Martha!

Sister!

Come on.

Where is it?

Back there. Come on.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

No!

No, Datuk. No.

Someone will see us.

Let go!

No!

Sister!

Hey!

Ma'am,

help me. Sister!

Sister,

help me.

- Hey!
- No!

Sister, help!

Help.

Is anyone in there?

Help.

Is anyone in there?

Hey.

- Uncle…
- What happened to you?

I…

What happened?

I got stabbed.

Where?

Over there.

Where?

Who stabbed you?

Orpa's daughter.

The crazy one?

She's really crazy, you know.

Hold this. Hold this.

Hold this.

Put this cloth on it. Put it on it.

- The other one!
- This one!

Press the cloth down firmly.

Watch out! Watch out, fire!

Watch out.

Watch out.

Watch out.

I can't!

Watch out.

I can't breathe.

Uncle, help.

I can't breathe anymore.

Sister!

Help! Help!

Sister!

Help! Help!

Help!

Please help save my things.

Oh, Uncle, I'm so sorry.

Oh, Uncle, I'm so sorry.

Sister!

- You have no brains.
- Calm down. Calm down!

- I'll go to the police.
- Sister, calm down!

You devil spawns.

Savages.

What kind of man would hit a woman?

Savages.

- You always bring bad luck.
- Just wait for it!

We'll see you at the police station.

Keep defending your crazy sister.

The family objects….

To Martha being taken
to a mental hospital,

but they agree

to have her chained up

because if she's chained,
she won't cause trouble anymore,

and the chains will be temporary.

Now, as for the rapist…

He's still in the hospital.
But the police is taking care of it.

Chief, my esteemed elder…

I want the fairest justice
regarding the situation with my house.

That was an accident.

Orpa,

Kobis wants 45 million rupiah
in compensation.

Can you afford to pay it?

I object, sir.

But I have some land.

Building a house takes time.

I have a lot of cattle to care for.

I need to rent a house right away.

If that's the case,

Orpa…

How much do you think you can pay?

Please give me three months.

Twenty million rupiah.

We've discussed this.

He will take 30 million rupiah,
and the tenor is one month.

Yes.

Kobis,

can you settle this for 30 million rupiah?

We'll help lighten Orpa's burden for now.

Orpa will have to pay in one month.

Can you?

Orpa,

can you try to raise
25 million in a month?

Yes, sir.

All right.

As Orpa has agreed to the 25 million…

we'll ask all the families

to chip in for the remaining 5 million

to reach the 30 million
and give it to Kobis.

One moment. I've got something to say.

Orpa…

why is it that before Abram was buried,

you left your house?

That was against tradition.

Gentlemen…

I apologize.

I was wrong.

I went against tradition.

I am sorry.

All right,

then the matter is settled.

So on this occasion, let us thank
the Almighty for his blessing.

And let us show
that we have made our peace.

Brother Kobis, I am sorry.

- Allow me, sir.
- Yes, go ahead.

Thank you.

Martha, be strong, okay?

Uncle,

I've brought you something from my mother.

It's okay if you don't have the money yet.

Everyone pitched in.

The sooner, the better, right?

Just put it on the table.

No way. Sign the receipt first.

Here.

I thought this was
our marriage certificate.

What kind of fantasy is that?

Go dye your hair.

With what?

Use shoe polish.

Hurry up. I've got other things to do.

There are a lot of young men out there,

but they may not all be faithful.

There are a lot of old men too.

Huge flirts who may not
be faithful either.

There are old men who are faithful.

Would you want one?

Answer me first.

Would you?

I'll choose someone young,

handsome and rich.

Happy now?

Dream on.

You're an old man,
and you're still a flirt.

Ugh.

Go get your hair dyed.

God bless you, Bertha.

Brother Damar, don't forget to call, okay?

And don't forget
to bring back some souvenirs.

Oh, my.

- Uncle Habel. I thought it was Clara.
- Where's your mother?

Mother.

Uncle Habel brought some food.

Habel, sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you very much.

- You're welcome.
- Give my regards to Yani.

- Clara.
- Uncle.

Habel, wait a moment.
I'll change her clothes first.

- Sister, bring this food inside.
- Right. Thank you very much.

Come in!

Martha, don't forget to eat.

I will go out for a short while.

Want to go with you.

No. I have to work to earn more money.

Want to go with you!

Just wait.
Bertha will be home from school soon.

There is a pestilence…

Upon the land

Ewes are roaming

On dry pasture

In tattered kebayas

Dying over and over again

Martha,

I'm so sorry.

I failed to take care of you.

Who did this to you?

Forgive me, Martha.

I was wrong.

I was wrong.

Forgive me.

Yes, Sister.

Who did this to you?

Who was it?

Forgive me, Martha.

- Where is the victim now?
- At home, sir.

Why didn't you bring her here?

Sir, I already told you.

Sir, she is sick and isolated.

INDONESIAN POLICE

Is it COVID-19?

This is more serious than COVID-19, sir!

Or do we need to bring her here now?

Oh, no.

Let us take a doctor there later.

She has a mental illness, sir.

- All right, please sign here.
- Yes, sir.

Wait a moment.

- Hey, Sister.
- Habel.

- Please come in.
- Yes.

Well…

Habel.

Excuse me.

Where is Yani?

- As usual, government matters.
- Oh.

A dog might bite them.

No, leave it there,
those are the old sandals.

It's okay.

Don't make a drink for me.
I'll only be here for a short while.

- All right. Please wait a moment.
- Okay.

Sister, have you heard
any news from the police?

That's what I wanted to ask you.

I'm really busy right now.

- Oh, I see.
- I always come home in the early morning.

I also help the village chief
handle various issues.

Yes.

Hey, Sister,

how is Martha's condition?
It's been almost nine months, right?

Huh?

How did you know?

Habel?

Sister,

many people are talking.

Any information about the perpetrator?

Not yet.

Not yet.

Tonight,

I will discuss it with my police friends.

Okay. When you get
the information, please let me know.

Yes, got it.

Yani. Febi.

Hello, Sister.

Come down, dear.

Take off your shoes, okay?

Febi.

Have you been waiting?

Not too long. I just got here.

- Good afternoon, Auntie.
- It's very hot outside.

Good afternoon, darling.

Hey, darling.

- Say hello to your father.
- Good afternoon, Dad.

Hey, Martha's ex.
We also have to talk to him.

- Ex-boyfriend?
- Yeah.

Sister, you should suspect
the street cats too!

Sister, can I use the bathroom?

Sure. This way.

- Sorry for the mess.
- It's okay. No problem.

- Change your clothes and wash your hands.
- Okay, Dad.

- Sister. Yani.
- Yes.

Wasn't Ezra the one who raped Martha last
time and then got arrested by the police?

Ezra.

Oh, my. That guy. Last month,
Marco was also arrested by the police.

- Marco?
- Yes.

What's the connection with Ezra?

They are in cahoots.

Huh? In what case, Habel?

He groped a girl's chest. So foolish!

Oh, that boy. Always causing trouble!
Bringing shame to the family!

- Sister.
- Sister.

Even though he's still distant,
Marco's father is called "Papa".

- Oh, you still have family ties?
- Ya, still in the family with us.

- Oh my God.
- So embarrassing! A sexual offender!

Febi.

- Forget it. Don't bother.
- Please get a drink for Auntie.

- I'm in a hurry.
- Please wait a minute, Sister.

I just arrived too.
It's so hot today, geez…

Sister, I hope the perpetrator realizes
his mistakes and takes responsibility!

I hope so, Yani.

Even a gourd has a heart.
Why wouldn't a human?

Amen. I believe

- a miracle will happen for this issue.
- Amen.

I have to go now.

Have a seat for a moment.
Febi has already brought your drink.

- My goodness. Thank you, beautiful girl.
- Please drink, Sister.

- Sorry for bothering you.
- I didn't cook anything, Sister.

It's okay. Please drink it.

All right, I will drink it
in a moment. Habel,

remember, if there's any information,
please let me know.

- Of course, I will help you later, Sister.
- Okay then.

It's been waiting for so many days,

but there's still no answer.
How are the perpetrators to be arrested?

Perhaps the police have another way,
we don't know.

What way is that?

Checking the sperm of every passing male?

Like a motorcycle raid?

Wow, I can't believe it!

Turns out there are men out there
who would do such a thing!

No matter what brand it is,
cats love to eat fish.

So, you must take care of your daughter.

Not just daughters, sons too.

No wonder.

The mothers here on Rote diet a lot

as they're afraid that
their husbands will cheat.

Let's catch him and neuter him!
We'll give his thing to the cat to eat.

Except for that thing,

- the cat doesn't like it!
- Right.

So, have you asked Martha yet?
Maybe she wants to say who it was?

- Are you asleep?
- Are you asleep?

If she wanted to talk,
we wouldn't be in this situation.

Sister, when do you want to go
to the police station again?

Starting today,

we should be suspicious
of all the men on Rote!

- I agree.
- Yeah.

If possible, even the street cats.
We should be suspicious of them!

- Yes.
- Right!

- Clara.
- Yes, Mom.

- Want a cookie?
- Please get the helmet.

Koba. Koba.

Where are you going?

Sister, don't go anywhere yet.

We're talking here, and you want to leave.

- Want some cookies?
- No, thanks.

Sister!

Sister, where are you going?

Oh, it's you, ma'am.

- Damar.
- I didn't realize it was you.

- Who did you think it was?
- You didn't tell me.

- Don't mind me.
- It's all right.

- I won't be long.
- Please have a seat.

Thank you, Damar.

- Sorry about the mess.
- It's okay.

You didn't even call.

Are you well?

- I am.
- It's all right.

I just got back from Yogyakarta, ma'am.

Our address hasn't changed, you know.

I took a sabbatical last year, ma'am.

Now, I'm catching up on my studies.

You're really busy, huh?

I visited my father and Una
in Yogyakarta while I was there.

How's Martha doing?

Damar, Martha is pregnant.

What do you mean?

Yes. She'll give birth soon.

She'll have a child.

When did you last come to our house?

Long before Christmas, ma'am.

Maybe in August?

Why?

You know about Martha's condition, right?

Don't give her false hope.

Sorry, ma'am.

We dated for a while,
but we're just friends now.

A really close friend?

Okay.

Come in.

She usually has lunch at this time.

Sister. Sister Martha.

Brother Damar is here.

Come on.

Martha.

How are you, Martha?

Damar.

Yes, I'm here.

How's Damar?

I'm doing fine. I'm healthy.

How about you?

Who are you?

Why are you here?

Get out!

Get out!

- Sister?
- Get out!

Get out!

GOD'S EYES ARE EVERYWHERE

Orly, the empty house. Come here.

Gosh.

Still no news about her.

How's it going?

Where to?

- Bertha's never like this.
- Orly's probably asleep.

Her motorcycle is already here.

Gosh.

Her bike is here.
Her bike seems to be fine.

- She's calling.
- Orly.

Bertha!

- Officer Novi, go check inside.
- Yes, sir.

- Bertha, where are you?
- Bertha!

Bertha!

Nothing?

Bertha, where are you?

- What should we do?
- Where are you?

GOD'S EYES ARE EVERYWHERE

Officer, please help me find my child.

- Bertha!
- Bertha, where are you? Bertha!

How is it, Sister?

She's not here.

Bertha!

- Brigadier Andi!
- Yes, Commander!

- Bertha!
- Bertha!

- Bertha, where are you?
- Bertha!

Excuse me.

Excuse me, sir.

Yeah?

We can't work
when they're acting like that.

Please take them home.

All right.

But please check Bertha's cell phone
to find the perpetrator's last location.

Yes, it's around here somewhere.
We checked, but the phone is dead.

It's around here somewhere.

So please go home now,
so we can do our job.

- Okay. Thank you.
- Yes.

The police are working on it.

Hear me out. Sister, listen.

Sister, listen. Sister.
Sister, listen. Orly, listen.

If we stay here…

Ma'am, sir.

INDONESIAN POLICE

Ma'am, I'm sorry. We still have
a lot of empty houses to search.

Please go home.

Leave everything to us.
We're going to find your daughter.

Everyone, please go home.

Leave everything to us.

All right, Officer.

- Thank you.
- Go home.

Yeah.

Come on, let's get some rest.

Bertha…

I want my daughter back.

Thank you, Officers.

- Sorry about that.
- Yes.

Bertha.

Damar, did you see it?

There was some vomit by that house.

Yeah, I saw it too.

But it could've just been some drunk.

Yeah, because that house is a place
where teenagers like to hang out.

That's it.

What if…

Orly,

other than you,

who else is Bertha close to?

She's close to everyone.

Did you say Bertha screamed?

That's the thing.

Before she screamed, she said…

"Orly, the empty house. Come here."

And that was it.

The problem is there are
many empty houses around here.

That's the point.

Which empty house?

- We already searched some empty houses.
- Damar.

- We have to find Bertha.
- And then…

It's already…

Sweetie, your baby needs rest.

- Go to sleep.
- Bertha.

I hear Bertha's voice.

Bertha…

Bertha…

Have you called her friends?

The phone was turned off.

Oh my God.

It's all right, sweetie.

Clara. Koba.

- Clara.
- The baby's coming out.

Koba. Yani, please help her.
Please help her.

Gosh. Hold on.

I've been calling for you.
Are you all deaf?

Men, go away.

Koba, help me.
The baby's head is already out.

Support her back.

Wait.

- Slowly. Slowly.
- Hold tight.

- Slowly.
- Hold her legs.

Lift her legs.

Here we go.

There it is. A little more.

- That's it.
- I see the baby.

Be careful.

Let's get her up.

Wait, the placenta's not out.

Yani, what's going on?

Get out. Men, stay away.

- Huh?
- Get out.

Breathe, sweetie.

- The placenta's not out get.
- Abe, Habel.

- Yeah?
- Push a little.

- Get Midwife Teres.
- Get it out.

Help her up. Gosh.

Put her legs down.

Ma'am, what are you looking for?

Please take care of the baby.

The head…

The keys.

This is…

Where is it?

- Sister!
- Hurry!

Yes, the baby is already out.

It's a girl.

Alone!

Where is it?

The umbilical cord is still attached.

I'm waiting here for you.

Huh? Am I supposed to cut it?

Ya. Ya.

But what if I cut it wrong?

Hurry up and come here.

Clara! What are you looking for?

Mom, where are the keys?

I already told you last week,
don't change it!

Damn it!

- Shalom.
- Shalom.

Mother, Father.

Mother, Father.

Mother, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I was wrong.

I'm sorry I couldn't take good care
of my children.

I've failed as a mother. I'm sorry.

That's enough.

You all should just move to Kupang.

Let's go inside.

Oh, she's so beautiful.

What's her name?

Eva, Mother.

Aside from Abram…

there are only women in this house.

The mother of all the mothers.

Mother, Father…

you've just arrived.
You should get some rest.

Abe.

- Yes?
- The headboard.

Later.

Men, please wait outside.

Men, please wait outside.

Come on, sir.

Let's go out.

Granddaughter Martha,

may the Lord Jesus bless you.

Hello.

Yes, what is it?

Good afternoon.

- Are you Mrs. Orpa?
- Yes.

Come with me.

Mrs. Orpa? This is the man who found her.

- Brother Kobis. Thank you so much.
- Be strong, Sister.

Let me go in there.

I want to see my baby.

Sister, I'll go.

I'll go.

Sir, ma'am, are you all Bertha's family?

Yes.

I'm Doctor Bagus. I performed
an external examination on Bertha.

We heard from the police that
her body was no longer intact.

Please show them.

Lord Jesus.

Little Bertha.

Ma'am! Help her.

You bastard.

- You savage.
- You beast!

- You despicable man!
- Savage!

Kill him.

Crush him, Koba.

Kill him!

Bastard,

I'll kill you!

Savage!

- Animal!
- Bastard!

Reveal his face.

Oh my God.

Jesus.

This is more dangerous than COVID.

Cats like fish, no matter the brand.

- Savage.
- Lukas, go away.

Women's business, eh?

It's our business with barbaric men.

This bastard.

Mother! What is that?

We'll deal with this the traditional way.

- This savage…
- Koba, Koba,

is he dead or unconscious?

Which do you prefer?
Either way is fine by me.

Savage.

Savage.

Lukas!

Yeah?

He has a daughter. She'll be so ashamed.

This is for my child and grandchild.

What an animal. He's not human.

Sister!

Sister!

Help me!

It hurts, Sister.

Help me, Sister.

"Help me, Sister."

"Help me, Sister."

It hurts, Sister. Help me, Sister.

Sister!

- Ouch!
- Get up.

Get up.

You bastard.

- You bastard.
- Damar, no!

You've caused so many people so much pain.

Damar, no!

Damar, enough.

Enough.

Damar, no!

You raped Martha, and you killed Bertha.

Damar, enough.

- Stop it. Enough, stop it.
- I swear…

By God, I am ready to be put to death.

Enough.

Damar…

I don't know anything about Bertha.

- Damar, enough.
- Damar, no.

- You liar.
- Hey!

- I swear!
- Enough.

Take him to the police.

He's a disgrace to the family.

I swear, I don't know.

Come on.

- Get up.
- Get up.

Not the police.

You really are a savage, Habel.

Don't take me to the police.

You're a savage.

- I'll take responsibility.
- You're a savage.

Please, not the police. Please.

Ouch.

Martha…

Grandmother, please, not the police.

I'll take responsibility.

Martha. I'll take responsibility.

We've already forgiven you.

But as for the law…

Do it, Orpa.

Grandfather, I'm sorry.

Grandmother, don't take me to the police.

Don't take me to the police, Sister.

Whether it's tomorrow or the day after,

you'll have to deal with the police.

- The day after then.
- You really are a savage.

Grandmother.

- Grandfather.
- How dare you do that to my family.

- Get inside.
- Please, not the police.

Get in.

- Sister.
- Get in.

Sister, please. Not the police.

Sister.

Grandfather, please, not the police.

Why are you crying?

Sister.

Sister, I know what he did was wrong.

But can't you give him a little lenience?

I already have. He'll go to the police
the day after tomorrow.

Damar!

- Yes, ma'am,
- Please, not now.

Damar.

Sister. Please, not now.

Hey, Yani.

What does it matter
if he goes tomorrow or the day after?

Mother…

Habel is praying
that Orpa will change her mind.

Oh, he still remembers God?

Guess he planned it all along. Damar.

Yes, ma'am.

Sister, please.

Please take pity on us.

- No.
- Please.

- Let's discuss it with the family.
- Go home.

I don't want to see your face around here.

- Sister, please.
- Go home.

Let's discuss it with the family.

Yesterday, she insisted on castration.
Now, she's crying.

Hey, Yani.

This is not a state prison.

Visiting family must bring him food.

Who's going to feed your husband?

He raped my granddaughter,
and you want us to feed him?

Yesterday, she insisted on castration.
Now, she's crying.

Brother!

I thought you were burying something.

Ah, no.

I'm looking for plants, as usual.

How's Habel?

He's been tied up. Just waiting
for the police to pick him up.

But Bertha's killer is still on the loose.

Do you have any information?

People usually say that

a murder is committed
by someone close to the person.

I agree.

Everyone should be suspect,

Including me.

Only dogs can defeat wolves.

Maybe…

Because they are the same species, right?

But as for me,

I prefer to be a human.

Come here.

I'll buy you some phone credit after this.

They said someone had seen Bertha
before she was killed.

Who was it?

Where?

It's unclear.

Some people said Bertha
was riding around the village.

Where were you at the time?

Hey, Ruben.

Don't be scared, just tell her.

I'll buy you some phone credit.

- Orpa, wait here.
- Okay.

Here, take this.

- No, I'm fine.
- Just take it. It's okay.

Where were you at the time?

At an empty house.

Who were you with?

Uncle Ezra.

- Who?
- Ezra.

Hey, Ruben, what were you doing
in an empty house?

What were you doing with him?

What were you doing there?

Were you doing drugs?

No.

Don't lie to me.

How long were you there?
Give me an estimate.

Fifteen minutes.

Around 1:00 p.m.

Where did you go after that?

After that, Uncle Ezra took me
to buy phone credit.

Then we went our separate ways.

Her corpse was in the tank.

Her motorcycle was near the empty house.

Her phone is missing.

I need evidence and witnesses.

Brother, don't worry,
the police will help.

What did the police say?

Sooner or later,
the culprit will be caught for sure.

All right then, let's wait
for the police's update.

If someone knows
about a murder and doesn't report it,

it's the same as protecting the criminal.

That's how it is.

There.

There.

Here.

A little higher.

Come on.

Here.

- Lift this.
- Okay.

Brother… I'm tired.

Just climb out.

Kobis, are you tired?

- I'm tired.
- Just climb out.

Excuse me.

- Come on.
- Help me up.

Be careful. Slowly.

- Okay!
- Gosh.

Wait.

Mother, I'm sorry.

I have sinned, Mother.

I'm sorry…

I'm sorry, Mother.

Habel.

Sister.

This is the price for three days.
I've paid it in full.

Thank you, Habel, Yani.

Thank you, Tius, Kobis.

Mrs. Maria,

I am sorry.

This is a lesson for all of us,
your children and grandchildren

that this has really happened,

and it won't happen again.

Amen.

Sister.

We're still family.

- How about we deal with this…
- Personally, it's settled, Tius.

I mean so we don't have
to go to the police.

Let the law deal with him now.

Sister.

Please have mercy on our children.

- Sister.
- Get up, Yani.

I'm concerned.

But I don't hate Habel.

We just don't want any more victims.

Sister…

Sister…

Thank you for all your help.

Thank you.

Sister, I'm sorry.

Sister, I'm sorry.

Thank you.

- I'm sorry for what I did.
- Thank you, Habel.

I'm ashamed.
What will happen to my wife and children?

I'm sorry.

Sister, I'm ashamed.

Habel.

Damar, Abe.

Sister, I'm sorry.

Yani, I'm sorry.

Hey, Damar,

this one's without sugar.

Thanks, Clara.

Where's Mother?

She usually goes to check the tank.

- Hey, you startled me.
- Sister.

- Come in.
- Yeah. Yeah.

Here.

Three years ago, Abram and I used
to come to this coffee shop often.

Yeah. The owner has moved to Kupang.

So, how are things?

I'm sure you can tell me a lot of things.

It depends, do you want to be a coward
and commit suicide,

or do you want to be brave
and live a risky life?

Either way, you have to chew your food.

Not to mention swallow it.
Even breathing takes effort.

The wind is very strong.

Where was Bertha killed?

Right there, in that tank.

Her motorbike is fine,

but her phone is still missing.

Items like that are easy to sell.

But why was Bertha killed?

Maybe out of spite, revenge?

What's the problem?

Only she and God know.

Spite,

revenge.

Then taking someone's life so easily?

It's not worth the risk.

If a mother can carry
and give birth to a child,

it means she's capable
of doing anything for her child.

There's one more condition.

You'll tell me who did it,
or tell me the conditions first?

Everywhere, the conditions come first.

And your guarantee?

Are you willing to be cursed for
seven generations if you don't fulfill it?

Don't challenge me, Sister!

The conditions!

What I want is for us to make love, now.

What if I refuse?

Please leave.

To the left.

Who did it?

Give me a moment tonight.

Now!

- Don't rush.
- Who! Who did it?

It was me.

I'm not afraid of humans!

And the sin that blocks salvation!
