Kang Mak (2024) Movie Script

1
Evening, miss!
Evening, sir!
Kang Mak.
Kang Mak!
Fall in!
Watch out, it's a grenade!
PLUMERIA OPERATION
Oh, my unfortunate destiny
When I was born
I was colonized by the Dutch
When I was little
I was colonized by Japanese
When I grew up
I was sent to war
What song is that?
Oh, my unfortunate destiny
Now, I'm just waiting
For my death
Why did your voice get louder?
- Oh, my destiny
- Shut up!
Solah.
He sang louder so that you'll hear him.
I know my hearing is impaired,
but I'm not deaf!
- You're deaf, Solah!
- No, I can still hear!
- What did you say?
- See?
You're deaf, Solah!
You didn't say anything!
Fine, how about you try singing?
- Fine, I will.
- Good!
- To boost our morale.
- Correct!
Come on, guys!
If you're happy and you know it
Clap your hands!
If you're happy and you know it
Clap your hands!
Let's sing another song.
Quiet!
Do you think we're on a picnic?
Are you happy being sent to war
from morning until night?
What should we do to boost our morale?
I think now is not the time to sing.
It's time for us to rise and fight!
Let's show them that
they can't trample over us!
Whatever wounds we experience now
won't stop us from fighting
to make our country proud!
Fight!
Get out there! Raise your weapons!
Are you not coming?
You're all still young.
You should be at the front.
An old man like me will support you
from the back.
With prayers.
Come on, Supra!
On the battlefield, age doesn't matter!
If we want to advance,
we'll do it together!
Why are you copying me?
- Stop it!
- Stop it!
Enough!
If none of you wants to go,
I'll go by myself!
It's okay! I know I'm a scaredy-cat,
but this war has been going on
for too long.
I have to go home to my wife, Sari.
She must have already given birth.
Don't you miss your family?
You do, don't you?
That's why we have to
move forward without fear!
Stand up for what's right!
Move forward without fear!
Our rights are invaded!
Move together,
banish the attackers!
Move together,
we will surely win!
Cool!
You're so cool.
No! What do you mean cool?
Those were song lyrics.
What lyrics?
Take it from the top.
If none of you wants to go,
I'll go by myself, I don't mind!
From the "move forward."
Not that part,
start from the "move forward."
No.
Repeat the "move forward" part!
I don't appreciate you forcing me.
Everyone, stop!
It's not the time for us to play around!
It's time to show
who we are!
True soldiers!
Yessir!
Good morning, noon, and night
We are true soldiers!
Soldiers of this land
Fighting for our country!
This is our spirit!
Forever brothers, in life and death!
Indonesia!
Indonesia!
Kang Mak!
Kang Mak!
Get inside!
- Son! Let's get inside!
- Why, Dad?
Don't ask! Just get in!
- Come on!
- Kang Mak!
Close the doors and windows!
Our child is born, honey.
At this rate, we'll die soon!
Dear God,
please don't take my life.
I have to live.
Whatever happens,
I need to see my wife and child.
Please, God!
Hey!
Don't talk about death.
That's taboo.
- We're still alive!
- If Makmur doesn't want to die,
then, we can't die.
If that's the case, none of us can die.
We have to stay alive!
True soldiers!
Attack!
Attack!
Attack!
Attack!
Retreat!
Retreat!
Sari
Sari!
Go to sleep, my dear child
Mom is here, waiting
For your father, Makmur
Mom, I'm scared.
Together again
Your father, Makmur
He will come
Solah.
We're alive.
I'm coming home, honey!
We're alive!
We're alive!
Since my village is the closest,
let's go to Fajrul's village first.
After that, we'll go to Solah's village.
Then, to Jaka's village.
His village is near Solah's.
Since Supra's village is the farthest,
we'll go to his village next.
Lastly
If I go last, Sari will be
waiting too long. It's been months.
If we use your plan,
we'll be sailing two months.
I have a plan. Move.
First,
we'll go to Makmur's village
since it's the closest.
Second, my village.
Then, Solah's village.
After that, Jaka's village.
Lastly, we'll go to Supra's village
since it's the farthest.
It's not far enough.
Here?
It's not far enough!
There.
Now that's what I'm talking about.
Supra's village is that far!
Why did you do it?
I'm just showing you
how far his village is.
My canteen?
My canteen.
- Right.
- Right.
My canteen.
Right, it's your canteen.
If one person is dehydrated,
everyone should also be.
- Come on, let's go!
- I'm so thirsty.
It's gonna be so hot.
- Sir, let's go!
- Let's go!
It'll already be dark
when we reach my village.
How about you stop by and eat?
Sari is a great cook!
Great! It's been so long
since we've had a proper meal.
Yes!
- Can she cook fried catfish?
- Of course!
Grilled fish with torch ginger?
That's a piece of cake, Fajrul!
Can she make pepes?
Tofu pepes, fish pepes, squid pepes,
you name it!
- Which one do you like?
- I like goat pepes.
That's gonna be a big pepes.
What leaf should we use to wrap it?
- Banana leaves, of course.
- Pardon me, Fajrul.
A banana leaf is this big, right?
We're talking about a goat!
We have to cut up the goat, of course!
Enough! How about this?
Sunny side up egg with sambal.
Sir.
Making goat pepes is hard enough,
cow even more so!
You must be joking.
We've arrived at my village.
Is this your village?
It's so quiet here.
If it's crowded,
it's called Rambutan Village.
Where's your house?
Still farther in.
But, it is unusually quiet.
Kids used to play around here.
We're finally here.
Come on.
Watch your step.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
Thank you, sir.
- Solah, is everything okay?
- Yes.
Honey!
I'm home!
Sari!
I'm home!
Honey!
Scary!
Sari?
I'm home, honey!
Sari?
Honey?
Hey!
Sir!
Sir!
Boatman!
- Hey!
- What is it?
The boatman just left. He looked scared.
Look!
Hey!
Hey!
Are we stuck here?
Sari?
Oh, Sari!
Honey?
Honey?
Sari!
Kang Mak!
I missed you so much, honey.
I didn't think you'd ever come back.
Of course not, honey.
I promised you.
I will come home.
Kang Mak!
What is it, honey?
I got shot.
See. But, I'm fine.
It's already been treated.
Your hand as well?
It was grazed by a bullet,
it's not a big deal.
I also have wounds on the back.
There's one from a grenade.
I also got hacked, stabbed.
Oh, honey!
I'm fine, honey.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
For the sake of our country,
these wounds aren't a big deal.
Must be nice to have a wife.
If I had a wife waiting for me at home,
I would kiss and hug her.
Supra knows a thing or two about that.
Well, I've been married for a while.
When I come home,
I grab a hold of her head.
Face to face.
I'll lick everything.
Then, I'll squeeze her.
Then, I'll lick her
from the top of her head
Then, I'll suck her toes.
Enough!
Honey, your stomach.
Why is it flat?
Did you have a miscarriage?
No!
No!
Honey, our child's right there.
My baby!
She's got a beautiful face like you, Sari.
Her eyes are as beautiful
as those of a fallen angel's.
Our child is a boy, honey.
I knew it. He's manly like me.
I'm your dad, baby.
I'm Daddy Makmur.
You can call me
Pih Mak.
What's his name, honey?
The name that you've always dreamed of.
Cipluk?
His name is Cipluk!
I thought it would be Maxim,
or Onadio, or Vino.
But, no, it's Cipluk.
It's like a sound.
If he has a brother,
it will be more like a sound.
Like what?
If he has another sibling,
the name will be Mak Grompyang.
Bunch of hicks!
- You're one to talk. Your name is Solah.
- Solah is my first name.
My full name is Solah Vicenzio.
Supra is more of a hick's name!
Don't look at my first name,
look at my last name.
Supra Widodo Cokroaminoto Supratman Hatta.
That's a great name.
Wait a minute.
I think we know those names.
Say it one more time.
Supra Widodo Cokroaminoto
Gatot Subroto Hatta.
Now you have "Gatot Subroto"?
I always had it!
No, it was "Supratman."
Guys!
Meet my wife, Sari.
I'm Supra Widodo Cokroaminoto
Gatot Subroto Sudirman Hatta!
- You missed the "Supratman".
- "Sudirman" now?
What's with you guys? It's my full name.
You keep changing it.
Oh, shut up!
I'm Jaka.
I helped Makmur when he got shot.
I'm Fajrul.
I always reminded Makmur to stay faithful.
There were many temptations
on the battlefield.
What kind of temptations?
Being kissed by a bomb?
Hi, Sari.
I'm
Solah Vicenzio.
Do you possibly have a sister?
No, I'm an only child.
Best friend?
Or anyone who's as pretty as you?
There aren't any, Solah.
Sari is the prettiest woman
in the village.
When there's a competition,
she always wins.
Sari once won
the Charm of the Village competition.
She was also the favorite contender
in the Village Flower.
She was also the winner of the
Dreamy Market Princess competition.
She's won every single beauty pageant
in this village.
She is the best of the best.
She won the River Princess competition
for three years straight.
Amazing achievements!
Thank you, Solah.
Anyway, I have an announcement to make.
Now, I'm officially a father
because our child is born.
His name is amazing.
Cipluk.
His full name is Cipluk Makmur Sari.
I see. Just like a hardware store.
Furniture.
Don't be like that.
Cipluk is a beautiful name.
Cipluk has to remember his name
until he's old.
He must never forget his full name.
What?
Makmur!
The boatman left. He looked scared.
Now, we can't go home.
Why don't you guys stay here
for the night?
You said you wanted to try Sari's cooking!
Across the river over there
is my aunt's house.
It's vacant for some time.
So, you can stay there.
I agree. We will stay there.
You said you didn't want to stay.
He offered us, how can we decline?
Besides, how can we go home?
The boat already left. Swimming?
Sari.
My friends and I
want to show our utmost gratitude.
And I love you, Sari.
- What did you say?
- I love you, Makmur!
- You said Sari earlier.
- I love you, Sari, Makmur's wife.
Are you going to steal her?
No! I love you Sari, I love you Makmur,
I love you Cipluk and everybody!
You want to steal your friend's wife?
I'm not stealing her!
Enough!
It's not the time to be bickering.
Tomorrow, we'll go to the market.
Sari will cook delicious dishes for us!
- All right!
- Ali right, Mur!
Come on, honey.
I always prayed for your safety.
Your prayer made me strong
when I was fighting in the war.
I can't imagine
if you had died on the battlefield.
If I die first,
I will become a ghost and come back.
To meet you and Cipluk.
Stop it, I'm scared.
You're scared, aren't you?
But, honey,
what if
I'm the one who died while waiting
for you here?
I'm grateful that didn't happen.
Look at us now.
We're together, just like old times.
But now, there are three of us.
We have Cipluk.
Maybe there'll be four of us,
or five, twelve,
- a hundred
- Come on, how can there be that many?
To light up the house, honey!
So, it won't be quiet.
What is it?
I'm scared, honey.
What are you scared of?
I'm scared of us getting separated again.
Honey.
You have to trust me.
I will never leave you again.
From now on,
we will be together forever.
I promise.
So, don't be scared, okay?
I'm here.
Supra!
- Wake up!
- What is it?
- What's that shadow? There!
- Where?
It's a bird.
What do you mean a bird?
- It's a woman.
- Fajrul, wake up.
What?
What shadow is that? A bird or a woman?
- It's a dog.
- Gosh.
A dog?
- It's a woman!
- A bird!
It's obviously a dog.
But, there's a bird, right?
You're all so loud.
Aren't you guys tired?
Jaka, look there.
Is that the shadow of a bird,
a dog, or a woman?
- It's not a bird.
- See?
It's not a dog.
See?
It's not a woman.
It's a ghost.
A ghost?
Ghost!
Ghost!
Jaka!
Jaka!
Try to wake him up.
Jaka!
Jaka, wake up.
Jaka, wake up. Why can't you wake up?
Ghost!
What are you doing?
We were tidying things up.
We're in someone's house,
we have to tidy things up.
- Where's the broom?
- My body is aching.
- The view was phenomenal, right?
- Yes, in the morning.
You didn't see it.
- What do you call it? Hidden gem.
- Yes, hidden gem.
The river was beautiful.
The water was calm and cold.
If only you didn't wake up late.
Supra! Solah!
Jaka, Fajrul! Come on, wake up!
- Hey, Mur!
- Are we still going to the market?
Of course!
Come on, let's freshen up.
I can't wait to meet Sari again.
Let's go now. If we go later,
everything will be sold out.
- You want to try Sari's cooking, right?
- Let's go! Where's Sari?
- She's got Cipluk, so she's not coming.
- Okay.
But it'll be tiring
if we have to paddle to the market.
- What should we do?
- There's a boatman.
- Let's ask him to take us there.
- That's Mr. Cecep.
Mr. Cecep!
Mr. Cecep, do you remember me?
Can you take us to the market?
- Don't look!
- They're not used to paddling.
Mr. Cecep!
Don't look!
- What's with him?
- Don't look!
- Why does he look so scared?
- Yes, Mur.
Well, people used to say that
it's haunted around here.
But, it's an old wives' tale.
Come on!
Mr. Wiwid!
Mr. Wiwid!
Hey, Makmur is here!
- Makmur is here!
- Mr. Wiwid, how are you?
- You're famous here.
- I'm glad to know you.
Mr. Wiwid, Sari is going to cook us
something special
since we just got back from war.
Do you have any vegetables?
I do! Tatang, grab the veggies!
Over here!
Thank you.
- How much is this?
- It's free, Makmur!
What matters is Sari's happiness.
Thank you.
- I also need spices for these.
- I have some.
Give it to him!
This is number one.
Do you have coffee and sugar?
Of course!
How about some papaya?
Yayat! Give it to them.
This is number three.
Watermelon?
Yati! Where is she? Yati, give it to them!
This is my fourth wife.
Do you have any goats?
I do!
Give it to them!
Here, sir!
How about a stripper?
Wait a minute.
Stop! Enough!
I'll give Sari your regards.
Thank you, all of you!
We'll be going now.
Come on.
Let's take a break.
I'm still traumatized by that view.
That mesh shirt.
You shouldn't have asked for it.
Mbak Yu Supi!
So that you'll rest in peace.
And have a smooth journey
to the afterlife.
She's cursing us.
Go away.
Don't haunt us.
Haunt? Do you think we're ghosts?
Only ghosts can live with ghosts.
But, who's the ghost?
Your wife.
Sari is dead.
She's a ghost!
If you don't believe me,
look through your crotch, she's a ghost!
Why are you laughing?
She's the funniest person in this village.
She says such random things.
Because she's drunk.
I see.
But, she's also a shaman.
Honey, I'm home!
The villagers gave us so much stuff.
You can cook straight away.
Honey, the villagers were so nice.
They gave us all of this for free.
Did they say anything about me?
No, what could they possibly say?
They just wished you peace. That's all.
- Cipluk.
- It's okay. You cook, I'll get him.
What do you think about
what Mbak Yu Supi said?
About Sari? Living with a ghost?
If we think about it, maybe the villagers
are scared of us
because we live with a ghost.
What are you saying?
Are you saying Sari is a ghost?
A ghost can't be that pretty.
Ghosts are usually ugly.
Why did you look at me when you said that?
No, I looked over there.
Enough! Now, let's make sure
if Sari's a human or a ghost.
It's easy.
Look through the crotch.
Let's just stop bickering.
Go, take the goat inside.
Why me? You take it.
My waist is hurting.
Jrul!
I need to poop, Solah.
He's small but he keeps pooping.
Jak!
I'm so tired.
- I paddled the boat.
- So did I!
- I was in the back
- Enough!
It's not the time to be bickering.
Now, pick one. Who will massage me
and who will take the goat?
Jaka, massage me.
Why did you ask us to choose, then?
You're already holding the goat.
I'd smell like a goat if you massaged me.
Just check if she's a ghost or not.
Check through the crotch.
What are you doing, Solah?
I'm about to eat the goat.
I mean, feed the goat.
I mean, feed you the goat.
I mean, I'm giving you the goat
so that you'll cook it for us.
Sari.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to
Can you please get some banana leaves?
Not just banana leaves,
I can even get guava leaves,
door leaves,
or any kind of leaves for you.
But, why would you need those, right?
I'll go get them.
If Sari is a ghost, then,
that would make their son a ghost too.
Of course not.
If that's the case, I'm sure Makmur
would realize that by now.
But, the villagers' expressions
Why are you worrying about that?
What do you mean by ghost?
No one. The people at the market said it.
You believed them?
Of course not. How can we?
How can such a cute child be a ghost?
You're right, he's cute. Cipluk!
Cipluk!
He's so handsome!
- Uncle Jaka!
- Cipluk!
You're really good with
With who?
Makmur!
What are you guys doing?
Are you learning how to hold Cipluk?
Here, hold him.
Jaka, come with me.
They're funny, right?
Uncle Supra.
- Damn it!
- Damn you!
- What are you doing?
- I'm pooping.
Don't poop there!
Leave me alone, will you?
Hey! That's no different.
Go poop by the river!
It's too far!
- You're small, you don't need to poop!
- Why can't I?
Look at you, you're big
and you never poop!
- None of your business!
- When did you last poop?
- Yesterday!
- Today?
- Not yet!
- Let's go.
- What?
- Let's have a race.
No! Why would I have a poop race with you?
- It smells. You already pooped.
- Not yet.
Your mouth smells like poop.
See, it smells.
I was sure I was holding Cipluk.
I even played with him.
I remember his face clearly.
I know, right? Out of nowhere,
it turned into a banana stem.
Hey!
I was looking for you,
turns out you're here.
- Have you checked Sari?
- I have.
She's not a ghost.
- Are you sure?
- I'm sure.
What is it?
He's such a nuisance.
It's normal for a human to poop.
Help!
It's Fajrul's voice.
What's wrong with him?
Fajrul!
Jrul, where are you?
Stop messing around.
Jrul!
Fajrul!
Something just moved.
Is that him?
Jrul!
Fajrul!
No, that's a tree.
How can a tree move?
- Fajrul!
- Maybe it's the wind.
Fajrul!
Goodness!
What happened to you?
- He's allergic to something.
- It's your fault for not sharing.
You ate crabs, didn't you?
No, it must be shrimps!
Shrimps grilled with honey is great
Clams! That's it!
- What is it?
- What?
I don't understand. Say it again.
Medan?
No!
Sticky rice!
Medan sticky rice with durian!
- That's nice!
- With coffee
Why do you keep kicking me?
What is it?
Is it Tarzan?
Sari.
Ghost?
Sari is a ghost?
Don't talk nonsense.
I've already checked her crotch,
she's not a ghost!
Come again?
You told me to check her crotch.
Show me how you did it.
- Pretend that you're Sari.
- I'm Sari.
Yes.
I did this.
You're a pervert!
You should check from your crotch,
not hers.
Like this.
The food's ready. Come, let's eat.
What happened to your face?
I think wasps did this.
Poor him, he's so ugly now.
Yes.
It's okay, we'll treat you.
My wife has finished cooking, let's eat.
Mur, I think we'll just be going home.
What's the rush?
The food is ready.
Come on, Sari would be sad.
- We're going to
- Do yoga.
Yes, right!
We're going to do yoga.
We want to seek inner peace.
- To control Jaka's temper.
- Yes.
- Anyway, we'll be going now.
- Okay.
I'll bring you the medicine.
Sari S What did the rest say?
Sari is Sari!
Sari. S-A-R-I.
That's right!
Yeah.
Wait. If Sari really is a ghost,
we should leave this village.
I've had a bad feeling since yesterday.
But, how can we leave Makmur alone?
I know she's his wife.
Someone needs to tell him
that Sari is a ghost.
Do you have the heart to leave Makmur?
Makmur helped us once.
And we were in the same squad.
We're like brothers to him.
I know that, but we're soldiers.
We were trained to fight humans,
not ghosts!
Wait!
Good thing you haven't left.
- I want to
- Makmur, we've got to tell you something.
- Don't be surprised.
- Don't be mad, too.
Don't be vengeful as well.
What exactly is going on?
Actually
Solah is going to tell you.
Why me?
Mur.
We've been friends for a long time.
I've gathered some evidence.
The truth is
Supra is going to tell you!
Why is it so hard to say it?
Mur.
What did he say?
There, there.
I know it's hard for you to talk.
Supra, you tell him.
Mur. I'm sorry, but, Sari is
- Pretty!
- Yes, she is.
- Pretty!
- She's always been pretty.
I told you, she always won
beauty pageants.
I thought you were going to say
something weird!
I was going to give you this oil.
Use this on your wounds, okay?
Come on, let's eat.
The food is ready.
Didn't you want to try my cooking?
She already cooked for you.
She'll be disappointed
if you don't try it.
She will be vengeful if you don't.
See, I was right.
Your face is a lot better now.
Makmur. I think Sari is
But, you still can't speak clearly.
Slow down.
Sari?
Sari has
- Sari has
- Cooked.
Sari has cooked.
I already told you,
she was going to cook today.
Please enjoy.
This looks
like it's high in cholesterol.
I have a weak heart.
I can't eat high-cholesterol foods.
I also have diabetes.
So, I can't eat high-sugar foods.
I have cholesterol, diabetes,
high blood pressure.
Eating this will make me mad!
Come on, don't be shy.
I know all of you are hungry.
Just try it first,
I'm sure you'll like it.
It's delicious!
It's your loss if you don't try it.
Just one bite.
I will be happy
if you at least have one bite.
That means you appreciate what I prepared
for Makmur's good friends.
Supra.
How do you like it?
Delicious.
It's delicious. Scrumptious.
Thank you.
Jaka, come on, have some.
Please give us your review.
It's yummy!
It's amazing!
Honey, Jaka is a peculiar man.
If he likes something, he will be on fire!
That means he's being honest.
It's your turn, Solah Vincenzio.
Please give us a detailed testimony.
The texture is delicate.
It's full of flavor. Salty, sweet, spicy.
It melts on my tongue!
Fajrul.
I'm sorry,
I know it's hard for you to speak,
but, as a closing statement,
please give us your conclusion.
- He said he loves it.
- He wants to have more.
Give him more.
See?
He loves it so much that he's crying.
As our gratitude,
we prepared desserts.
I will also make you some coffee.
Wait here, I'll get it.
- Mur.
- It's fine.
Makmur.
I have to go, I have to finish my laundry.
After that, I have to iron the clothes.
After that, I have to fold the clothes
and put them in the drawer.
Peace be upon you.
- Hurry up, Jrul!
- Have mercy, Sari.
She's behind you!
Hurry!
Hurry!
Sari!
Why are we not moving forward?
Hurry up!
Why are we going in circles?
We meet again!
You must stop trying to ruin
my happiness with Makmur!
Promise me!
We promise!
Pwomish!
What?
Pwomish!
I told you.
Here come the desserts!
Where's everyone?
I got the durian.
They said they wanted some coffee.
They just left.
They're scared.
Scared of what?
They believe what the villagers said,
that I'm a ghost.
Because of Fajrul,
we had to speak like that.
I also don't want it.
Do you think I enjoy it?
I can speak.
You're healed!
I'm healed!
Pwaise bee to Gud!
- I'm kidding.
- Let's go home.
By the way, how about Makmur?
What do you mean?
He doesn't know his wife is a ghost.
Let's just go home.
Who's that?
What if it's Sari?
Don't push me.
There's no one?
No one.
- There's no one.
- Close it!
You're all traitors.
I thought you were my friends.
You're no different to those villagers
calling my wife a ghost!
Sari is dead, Mur.
The villagers are suspicious of us.
So, you trust them more than you trust me?
- This isn't about trust
- They fooled you!
You're the one being fooled.
You're blinded by love.
- Your wife and son are ghosts!
- You're the ghost!
Makmur!
We're only like this
because we care about you, Makmur.
Makmur, we're brothers.
Brothers for life and death forever.
Like that?
Brothers.
You can't even be my friends.
You all came here to ruin my happiness.
I don't need friends like you.
Leave.
- Mur!
- Makmur!
Let him be.
He's blinded by love.
So, we're just leaving him?
No.
We're brothers.
I have another plan.
What is it?
I don't have one.
Jak, make a plan.
How about this
What? We'll see her?
They crossed the line
thinking you're a ghost.
You were so kind to them.
You made them food, you let them stay.
I can't believe they changed.
Even though they have left,
the villagers will
still talk behind our backs.
Don't worry about it.
I believe you.
Who cares about what they say?
What matters is us.
Let's go to the night market.
We'll show them that nothing changes.
Makmur and Sari are still the same couple.
What do you think?
What about Cipluk?
It's okay. We'll come home
before he wakes up.
Come on, let's change.
Look at that, honey.
- Everything looks so fun.
- Wait for me!
Let's ride this first!
My balloon.
It's okay, we'll buy you a new one.
Don't be sad.
Here's your balloon.
Thank you.
You're so swift.
You naughty boy, I told you not to run.
You'll get kidnapped by a ghost! Come on.
That woman. How can there be ghosts
at the night market?
Honey.
- Are you still going to wear that mask?
- Why?
Nothing. You're still beautiful.
Come.
Once again!
Come on!
It's hard!
It's okay, honey.
Sir, stop the ride!
Do you want to stop?
Honey!
Honey!
Watch, I'll hit all of them.
It's okay, honey.
Fireworks!
So beautiful!
Honey!
I did it!
I got a doll! It's so cute!
Thank you, sir!
- It's for Cipluk!
- Yeah!
See, there's too many people here.
We might not be able to ride it.
Let's ride something else
before it gets too late.
Fireworks!
Where, honey?
There aren't any.
- Sari!
- Run!
We're being lied to.
Honey, it's not crowded anymore.
Let's go.
Let's go.
- Just like old times, right?
- Yes.
Honey.
You know that I love you, right?
Yes, honey.
Do you still love me?
Why would you ask that?
You know how I feel about you.
How do you feel about me?
I love you so much.
How much?
Very, very much.
I love you too.
Even more than that.
Very, very, very much.
Kang Mak.
We
made a promise
not to keep secrets between us.
That's right.
The truth is
there's something I want to tell you.
What? Just tell me.
But can you promise me?
Promise you what?
Promise me
that if I die first,
you'll carry on with your life.
You can fall in love with another woman.
You can marry another woman.
No.
I can't promise you that.
- Why not?
- What are you talking about?
You know I can't live without you.
We promised to be together
in life and in death.
With Makmur comes Sari.
Where there's Sari, there's Makmur.
You can't die first.
Listen, Kang.
Fireworks.
Where?
In your eyes.
Stop it.
Let's stop talking about death.
Let's focus on the present. We're alive.
We can still go on ferris wheels together.
Why don't we enjoy the moment
so we can have wonderful memories?
Memories that will last forever.
Finally.
You all made it here.
Mbak Yu Supi, you're amazing.
So you're of royal descent.
This Kang Mas Pusi. Who is he?
He's my twin brother.
He's also a shaman.
You're here because
you have a request, right?
You seek my help, yes?
Yes.
To get rid of a ghost?
Yes.
What's with her?
Inside that pouch is black sticky rice.
Grab it.
- Ka.
- Jak.
You do it, Ka.
Black sticky rice.
Excuse me, Mbah Yu.
Not that! That's a lizard rice cake!
Lizard rice cake?
That one.
When you pass by the ghost,
throw it!
It will hurt the ghost.
Yes. Thank you, Mbah Yu.
Hey.
Wait a moment.
Nothing comes for free in this world.
Wouldn't you agree?
We don't have any money, Mbah Yu.
Not everything has to be paid with money.
So
How should we pay you?
With a kiss.
With you.
With you.
Yes, you. A kiss with you.
Was it good?
There. Now you may go.
Thank you, Mbah Yu.
Come on.
Are you sure you want to go in?
You're scared of ghosts.
That was before I went to war.
But things have changed.
Soldiers aren't afraid of ghosts.
No way.
- Come on.
- Okay.
HAUNTED HOUSE
A ghost!
Calm down, Sari!
Don't panic!
Don't panic, honey.
You startled me!
The organizers are insane!
It shouldn't be this scary!
My poor wife has a weak heart!
You're mad!
Are you okay?
Yes.
I know if we go near this pocong,
it will jump at us.
It's a pillow.
I'm not scared of this.
Have mercy, Cong!
Have mercy, Cong!
Why did he run away?
He even tumbled and crashed
into the wall.
He must've been startled
because of my shouting.
Don't be afraid, Sari.
Where did he go?
He's afraid of me.
- Stop crying.
- She's scared.
You're bothering us.
What's that now?
She's scared. What a dumb-ass.
What's this doing in a haunted house?
Trying to scare me? It's not working.
Why'd they keep the little one
for the end?
Come on, you can do it.
You can do it, come on.
All good.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
The last one.
A forest setup.
There's no reason to be scared.
We live in a forest.
It'll just be snakes at worst.
I'll go check and make sure
it's safe for you.
Let's go!
Kang?
Kang Mak?
Kang?
Kang Mak?
Kang!
Don't hurt me.
Knock him out so we can carry him easily.
You guys again?
Why did you follow me here?
What are you doing now?
Stop!
Leave me and Sari alone.
Go back to your own villages.
You're getting on my nerves.
- Hurry up.
- Tie him up.
Hey. The door is locked.
Are you sure?
Seriously? Let me try.
Crap! What do we do?
We have to resort to using strategy 21.
Shed the insect's skin.
Isn't it dangerous? It's a haunted house.
There's no other way.
Mommy.
Who are you?
I'm
Suprawati.
Hadiningrum.
There's absolutely no way
I'm trying this strategy again.
And you call yourself a soldier?
Use your normal voice.
And you call yourself a soldier?
Hey, where's Fajrul?
Right.
Where's she? Is she gone?
Sorry.
Now we have to get Makmur.
- Over there?
- Yeah.
Come on.
Have mercy, Sari.
Forgive us, Sari.
Forgive us.
Sari, who?
I'm Wewe Gombel!
Why?
I've been here all week,
but I couldn't scare anyone.
I beg you!
Can you please be afraid or startled?
I'm scared
So scary.
You're faking it.
Please be afraid!
You're exaggerating, Solah.
- I'm trying to get this over with.
- Too dramatic.
I'm going home.
She's scarier anyway.
"She"?
Give me back my husband
or you'll be sorry.
The black sticky rice!
- It's in the pouch!
- The black sticky rice!
The black sticky rice!
Are we clear?
Where are you taking me?
Sari?
Where's Sari?
Where is she?
Where is she?
Honey!
Where is she, guys?
Calm down. We're getting you out of here.
- Are you trying to separate me from Sari?
- Sari is a ghost.
Yesterday, I
It's Sari.
Honey?
- Sari! Help
- Stop!
Can you quiet down? I'm trying to pee.
It's a huge forest and you're peeing here?
It's a huge forest
and you're chatting here?
You can't tell me what to do. Go away!
- Try me!
- You try me!
- Try me!
- You try me!
Stop it!
I'm going home.
- Hey.
- Mur!
Mur!
We're trying to help you.
He's right. You're living with a ghost.
Sari is not a ghost.
You're so stubborn.
Makmur.
I found her skeleton in the bushes.
How would you know it's her?
The skeleton had a wedding ring on it.
Some skeletons are dressed in suits.
Some in wedding dresses
or traditional outfits.
Give it a rest.
I know I'm not the smartest,
but don't make a fool of me.
I love her.
No matter what happens,
I will never leave her.
If you're gonna keep doing this,
please stay away from me.
You said we were brothers.
What kind of brothers
would split a husband from his wife?
You guys are cruel.
Makmur!
Makmur!
Makmur!
He hasn't changed at all.
Stubborn as ever.
We have to come up with a plan.
Jaka, you're the closest person to him.
In the barracks,
you're the one he slept with the most.
Solah.
You're from the village closest to Makmur.
And you, Supra.
You've been the group's leader
for the longest time.
I don't care what it takes,
we must save Makmur.
Do you understand?
Supra.
Before, during, and after
I recovered from the wasp sting,
Makmur is still stubborn.
What do we do?
Listen up! This is no time
to be messing around.
No matter how deep our wounds are,
nothing can separate us as brothers.
Remember who we are.
We are true soldiers!
Help!
- Makmur!
- Makmur!
You're supposed to say,
"Yessir!"
Makmur! What's the matter?
My stomach hurts.
Constipation?
What's wrong with him?
His gunshot wound hasn't healed.
Give this to Makmur.
Mur.
- Will that work?
- Yes. It's a remedy from when I was a kid.
- You got shot when you were a kid?
- No. It's for scabs.
Once applied,
it heals within five minutes.
If Makmur thinks Sari is still alive,
whose skeleton did Fajrul find?
But Fajrul said the skeleton was wearing
the same wedding ring as Sari.
That's strange.
I thought when someone dies,
they wouldn't be wearing rings,
necklaces, or any jewelry.
Right.
Kuntilanak don't wear earrings.
If the skeleton had a wedding ring,
then Makmur should have
the same ring as Sari.
Check his fingers.
Makmur.
Let me see your right hand for a sec.
He doesn't have it.
What?
That means
What? You startled me.
What are you doing?
Sari is not the ghost.
The ghost is Makmur.
Nonsense.
Makmur is dead.
The skeleton you found is Makmur.
- Right.
- What?
If you believe me Jak!
Throw the black sticky rice at him.
You're right.
A ghost!
I can't believe Makmur is the ghost.
We've been with a ghost all this time.
We also accepted him as our brother.
So Makmur was already
a ghost during the war?
The body I found was already a skeleton.
Perhaps.
I feel sorry for Sari.
She's been accused of being a ghost.
Sari.
Sari.
That means Sari is innocent.
We have to get her out of here.
And I will protect her
until death do us part.
What the heck?
Are you serious?
Are you seriously thinking about
replacing Makmur in this situation?
It's about humanity.
Humanity, my foot!
Sari is a beautiful woman.
We can't leave her alone.
She needs a man willing
to take on the responsibility
of protecting her.
And that would be
Solah Vicenzio.
Sari.
I'm coming for you.
Sari!
Solah, wait.
You sure she's not the ghost?
She served us worms and insects
the other day.
I'm sure.
I'm sure she's not a ghost.
You just don't know.
That kind of food is common in Thailand.
Worms are a source of protein.
Besides, Sari's father is from Thailand.
Really?
I'm not sure. But he could be.
Maybe.
Come on.
Sari. I've come here with my friends
to apologize because we accused you
of being a ghost.
But it appears we were mistaken.
You're simply a charming woman.
We must leave, Sari.
- Where?
- To a new place.
Start a new life
with a new partner.
Where's Kang Makmur?
Makmur is waiting upstream.
As for us we're going to the officiant.
What he's saying is
Let's go upstream
because Makmur is waiting there.
- Really?
- Yes.
You should get ready
and bring our child.
Hey!
I mean, your child.
Cipluk.
Where's Makmur?
He's just up ahead. Right, guys?
- Yeah.
- Up ahead.
The boat's leaking.
I think we're too heavy.
Here, the bags! Toss out all the bags.
There's more.
- What about now?
- It's still leaking.
Drop everything we're holding.
That's all of it!
Good.
"Good" my foot!
How can we move? You tossed the paddle.
Jaka!
Jrul, you go.
No. I can't swim.
There's Makmur!
- Where are you taking my wife and kid?
- We're getting them out of here.
- You can't live with them, Mur!
- Yeah, you died, Makmur!
You're the ghost!
How could he be the ghost?
Makmur died in the war.
But he didn't realize it. None of us did.
His body was already sent back here
and secretly buried
behind your house, Sari.
But don't worry, Sari.
I will protect you.
Give me back my family!
Mur! Don't come here!
- Mur, stop!
- Use your hands!
Hurry!
Kang Makmur!
Kang!
- Kang Makmur!
- Mur!
Where is he?
Help!
- My legs are cramping!
- Come on up.
Help!
Why did you run away from me?
We all thought you were the ghost.
None of us thought that.
But Jaka did.
He screamed
when I threw the sticky rice at him.
The sticky rice went into my wound,
it really hurt.
What about your wedding ring?
- Here's my ring.
- He has it.
I made it into a necklace
before I left for war.
Can we stop talking about ghosts?
Focus on the boat.
The boat's almost full of water.
Come on, paddle with your hands.
Careful.
- Hold on!
- What?
First we assumed Sari was the ghost,
then it turned out to be Makmur.
Now that Makmur is not the ghost,
who's the real ghost?
We'll turn into ghosts if this boat sinks.
Makmur's here too.
It's getting heavier.
Let's get the boat to shore first.
How? Using our hands to paddle
isn't working.
Use this.
Thanks, Sari.
What now, Jak?
What are you waiting for?
Supra! Move aside.
Where?
Doesn't matter.
Yup, like that.
- You next, Mur.
- What you doing?
Just listen to me this once.
Fajrul, you go left.
- I prefer to lean right.
- That way is fine too.
Fajrul, you move aside too.
Supra! Who told you to sit straight?
My back hurts, Jaka.
Just bear with it for a sec.
Solah, you move!
- Where?
- Anywhere!
- Just do it, Solah.
- Just lean sideways.
Don't make this harder.
Supra lean left, Makmur lean right.
I'll go left?
- Okay.
- I'm going left.
Hold on. What are we doing?
Just do it, Solah.
True soldiers!
Yessir!
Good morning, noon, and night
We are true soldiers
Soldiers of this land
Fighting for our country
This is our spirit
Forever brothers, in life and death
Sari is the ghost!
She's the ghost!
I saw it!
Can't ghosts wear rings?
Ghost!
Ghost!
She's a ghost!
Sari?
Kang Mak.
Jump! All of you!
Jump off!
Let's go, Mur!
- Let's get out of here!
- Sari!
Sari!
Wait.
We're missing one.
Where's Fajrul?
Sari!
Fajrul, jump!
Rul, hurry up!
How?
I can't swim!
Sari.
Let's just have a chat.
Peace be upon you.
Not gonna answer?
You look pale. Are you anemic?
You should eat more fruits.
They increase blood levels.
You don't like fruits?
I don't think you want to talk to me.
Help.
I think you're not in the mood to talk.
He's so fast!
You said you couldn't swim.
You swam like a champion.
Honey.
Sari!
We have to go now.
No, I can't.
I promised her,
I would never leave her.
What was that for?
It wasn't me. Him.
Right.
What was that for?
Sari
I will never leave you.
He knocks himself out a lot, huh?
Sari's angry!
Come on! Hurry!
Where are we going?
Let's go to Mbak Yu Supi's place.
Let's go.
Wait!
Wait. Isn't that Mbak Yu Supi?
She's dead. Sari must've killed her.
- Help her out.
- Wait.
Makmur might wake up soon.
What if people think we killed her?
Where do we go?
I know a place.
- Come with me.
- Okay.
Of course
I will not just stand still
after my twin sister was murdered.
I will help you
fight that ghost.
How, Kang Mas?
I will try to summon the spirit of my twin
to enter my body.
Rames rice
There are four ways to defeat this ghost.
Number one.
Prepare black sticky rice.
Number two.
A garden of flowers.
A carton flower?
A garden of flowers.
Number three.
I've imbued this wooden sword with spells
to send that ghost
to the afterlife forever.
Don't let this sword fall into the hands
of irresponsible people.
Yes, Kang Mas.
It could be dangerous.
Exploited.
Give it here!
Lastly.
This rope
has been coated with Cemani chicken blood.
This acts as a guard
and a barrier between you.
Thus, I call this
the bond of kinship.
Hold on.
You've given tasks to the three of us,
but what about Supra?
Just curious.
Don't let the baldie slip away.
Mister Supra.
You should stay with me.
Go for it.
Make sure no one
steps outside this barrier.
As long as we're inside here,
the ghost won't come near.
You're the best, Kang Mas Pusi.
She left.
What did you say?
I said you're the best.
Don't say that.
Supi is sulking.
We had no idea, Kang Mas.
Yeah.
Give it another try before Sari shows up.
Okay. I don't think
I'm strong enough by myself.
What about us?
Delivery!
Delivery?
Leave it outside.
Let's try again.
Padang rice
What else did you order?
Nothing.
Don't take a single step back.
Don't step back!
- Step forward!
- Don't step back.
- You're moving back!
- I'm getting my stance ready.
Stop pushing me.
Don't step back!
You're moving back!
Don't be afraid. Stand up.
Arm yourselves.
Chicken porridge!
Chicken porridge!
- No porridge.
- That one.
- Sticky black rice.
- Yes, that one.
Here.
You do it.
Not me.
Did I get her?
We did it!
That's amazing.
- Honey?
- Kang Makmur!
Sari?
- Kang Makmur.
- Sari!
- Makmur, stop!
- Sari!
Sari!
Second weapon! The garden of flowers!
- You have it!
- Stop!
Sari! Stop! You're hurting her!
Don't hurt her!
Mak! Get a grip!
That's a ghost! An evil spirit!
A demon! Cursed! She belongs in hell!
She has no good values!
- Open your eyes!
- Enough.
- That's too much.
- But she killed Mbak Yu Supi!
You demon! Devil!
You belong in hell! You wretch!
- Pharaoh's crony.
- Pharaoh's crony!
- Pale skinned.
- Pale skinned!
- Banished in hell
- Go say it yourself.
No! I'm too scared.
I never killed anyone.
Liar! We don't believe you!
As I said, I didn't kill anyone!
Sari! Let me go!
The sword!
You do it. I'm just here to cast spells.
Go!
No! Sari!
Hurry up!
Makmur!
Makmur, stop!
Hold him!
- Sari!
- What's next?
Only one way left.
This is a forbidden technique.
Don't! Sari!
- Mak, calm down! Makmur!
- Sari! Run!
Don't sacrifice yourself.
- Don't hurt Sari!
- Kang Mas Pusi!
Enough!
- Calm down.
- Let him handle it as best he can.
Sari. Listen to me.
Do you have any idea
what the most dangerous
occupation in the world is?
A shaman. Why?
They fight ghosts. Take me, for example.
I don't want to be hostile towards ghosts
or be mean to them.
- What's the point of yelling, threatening?
- What is he talking about?
I just want to have a chat,
heart-to-heart, peaceful.
What do you say, Sar?
Could we perhaps
have a chat over some delicious coffee?
I guess that's a no? It's okay.
Perhaps you're busy.
Excuse me.
I'm heading out.
What about us?
This is your domestic affair,
you sort it out.
I'm an outsider,
it's not my place to intervene.
Okay?
Makmur, no!
Sari, run away!
Stop!
My package is outside.
Excuse me. Just grabbing my package.
Makmur!
Run, Sari! Save yourself!
Why are we tied up?
Now it's your turn to feel pain.
Sari. Please don't hurt me.
You should've stayed out of my life
with Kang Makmur.
Sar! Get a grip!
- You don't belong here!
- I don't care!
She doesn't care?
I just want to be together again
with the person I love.
That's not love. That's toxic.
Sari.
Think about Makmur's life.
If Makmur stays with you,
the villagers will shun him.
Shut up!
You've made me even angrier.
We're sorry, Sari.
There's no need to be offended.
That's just the way they talk.
It's too late.
Now I'll make you go through
the pain I felt.
I will finish you off one by one,
until no one remains
to interfere with our lives.
No!
Honey.
Honey.
Honey, stop it.
Don't do it.
Please, don't do this.
They didn't mean any harm to you.
They just wanted to help me.
Because we promised
to fight together as brothers
in life and in death.
But as long as they're here,
they will interfere with our lives.
But if you hurt them,
especially if you kill them,
then it only proves them right.
You're evil.
Honey.
To live in the same world
so that nobody bothers us,
including them,
it would be better
for you to take me.
Do you mean it?
Yes.
Makmur!
Sari, no!
Sari!
You know
I couldn't possibly hurt you,
much less kill you.
You promised me.
To be together in life and in death.
I've always kept that promise.
I always remember.
That's why I've stayed with you
from the start.
Even though I knew that
You
You were gone.
You knew from the start?
Did they say anything about me?
I'm so sorry.
I came home too late.
I was too late.
Even if all the villagers shun me,
and nobody wants to be my friend.
Even if they think I'm crazy.
I will stay with you.
I'm not going anywhere.
I will never leave you.
And even if I have to
eat dried leaves every day
with centipedes and maggots,
I'm really happy.
I'm genuinely happy.
Because I get to be together with you.
Did I make things hard for you?
No.
When have you ever given me a hard time?
You're my everything.
What's wrong? Too spicy?
It is. But it's good.
Delicious.
If God wills,
we must stay together.
In life and in death.
With Makmur comes Sari.
Where there's Sari, there's Makmur.
Promise?
I promise.
I'll be home before Cipluk is born.
I'm off.
Dear God.
Please let me see my wife and child.
I'm not ready to die today.
Please let my husband
see his wife and child.
Kang Mak.
Your prayers saved me on the battlefield.
That's why I'm here today.
Thanks to you,
I'm no longer afraid
to enter a haunted house.
But I'm a ghost.
Aren't you scared of ghosts?
I am.
But I'm more scared of living without you.
I love you, Sari.
Forever.
I love you too.
I love you.
Will you let them go?
Please.
Is this weird?
Seeing my arms do this?
A little bit.
But I'll get used to it.
In fact
I think it's sexy.

Solah.
How long should
we keep calling each other?
Your friends can handle
being tied up till morning.
Yeah. We may look like bacang,
but we're strong enough.
It's fine.
Enjoy being lovey-dovey over there.
We enjoy being tied up here.
Thank you, honey.

- Mur.
Sorry, Mur.
Who's holding you?
Is it Uncle Doyok?
It's Uncle Fajrul.
The handsome Uncle Fajrul.
Apparently, ghosts aren't that scary.
After all, it's Sari and Cipluk.
Introduce us to your friends.
I might see someone I like.
I'd like one too.
- You want one?
- Do you want to see them?
- Yeah!
- Sure.
- You have friends?
- Of course.
There.
Baldie.
Mbak Yu Supi!
- Baldie.
- Get her!
Give it a shot, Supra. You might like her.
Go for it.
Enjoy it.

How did you die?
I drowned.
You couldn't swim?
I can.
But I was drunk.
She was drunk.
- No wonder her mouth reeks of garbage.
- Baldie.
Baldie!
Help!
My hair will fall out! No!
Slowly, be careful not to fall.
It's slippery.
50 YEARS LATER
-Mr. San?
- Mr. Mamat?
Mr. San!
How are you?
I missed you!
Did you bring tourists from Thailand here?
They came all the way from Thailand
to see this museum.
Come on in.
Right now?
Okay, come in everyone!
- Let's take pictures!
- Hello.
My honored guests. Ladies and gentlemen.
This is the legendary
Kang Mak and Sari's house.
This portrait tells the story
of Makmur and Sari.
They were a couple
separated by worlds.
But by overcoming their struggles,
their story becomes an inspiration
for all those in love.
For all those in love.
May our love be
strong and timeless.
Just like how Makmur and Sari were.
You may take pictures.
Okay. Everyone, smile!
One, two, three.
That was so cute! Okay.
Let's take another one.
One, two, three.
Okay.
