Sakaratul Maut (2024) Movie Script

1
Sudden death is rest for believers and regret for unbelievers.
(Hadith by Ahmad and Ibnu Syaibah from their Musannaf)
Ismi.
You poor child.
Why is her fever still high?
When I get to Jogja,
I'll buy you a new doll, okay?
To keep you company.
Remember, Indah.
If you want Ismi to be calm,
you must be calm too.
Yes, Ma'am.
Alright, then. I should go.
- Take care, Ma'am.
- Yes.
Have you checked all your stuff?
I've checked them all, Dad.
I'm set to leave tomorrow.
Remember, dear.
You should find a new place next month.
A better one.
Dad, I'm just a new teacher.
I'll pay for it.
It'll be more comfortable for your mother
and I when we visit you.
Listen, dear.
Just say yes to whatever your father wants.
And we'll take care of it.
Yes, Dad. I will.
- Safe travels, Dad, Mom.
- Yes.
Honey, we need to talk about it.
We can't just keep ignoring each other.
Look out!
Let go.
Hey, let go!
I'm so sorry. My deepest condolences.
Dad
Mom
Mom
Mom
Sweetheart.
Dad?
Yes?
How is Ismi?
Her fever has come down a little.
Thank God.
Do you think it's a sign?
I shouldn't have left my parents alone.
Miss,
It's just a dream.
Listen.
I'll take care of your parents.
You can just focus on your work.
Get new experience.
Start dating.
Nonsense.
- Who will I date?
- Oh, Miss.
There are a lot of rich people in Surabaya.
What do they call them?
Crazy rich?
Yes, exactly! Crazy rich!
You're going there for work,
but you might get a crazy rich husband.
Judging from my experience,
I'll probably just get the crazy.
You mean
Just crazy?
Huh
- Is someone at the door?
- Yes, be right back.
Yes?
Missed me!
Be careful, kids. Gosh.
- Be careful.
- Okay.
Bagus.
Bagus!
We are in mourning.
You need to be more attentive!
Dimas, Dimas.
Come with me. You too, Ruri.
Wati.
Retno.
Retno.
Retno.
Mom
- Mom.
- Mom
- Mom.
- Mom
I'd feel guilty.
If we didn't try our best.
What do you mean?
He's only alive only because of the machines.
I actually feel bad.
We've been holding him back.
That makes us selfish.
Who knows, maybe a miracle could happen.
I also want a miracle to happen, Retno.
But we have to be realistic.
And think of the cost.
Each time dad takes his medication,
the money can feed us for a month.
Who's going to pay for it?
You?
It's better
that dad spends the rest of his life
-SELF-DISCHARGE LETTER
-with us.
His family.
The patient's family wants to take him home, let's get him ready.
Yes, Doctor.
Done, let's go.
Can you please sign here, Ma'am?
Mrs. Giyem.
- What? Who?
- Mrs. Giyem.
Who?
Mrs. Giyem. Mr. Wiryo's second wife.
- Really?
- But she looks so old.
It's because of her stomach issue.
- A lot on her mind.
- Probably.
Who is the guy?
What's his name?
Tarjo.
- Tarjo.
- Tarjo.
Mrs. Giyem and Mr. Wiryo's son.
Yes, their son.
He looks like a born-again Muslim.
-It's called TOBA
-What's that?
- Too Old for Born-Again.
- Oh, smart.
- It's questionable.
- True.
- Suddenly religious, something is off.
- Right.
- Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
- Peace be upon you, too.
To Allah we belong and to Him we will return.
My deepest condolences.
I hope she died a peaceful death.
Ma'am.
Forgive us, Retno, Wati.
We couldn't go to the hospital.
Yes. My mother was sick.
It's alright.
You couldn't have done anything if you came.
- Don't say that.
- Why not? It's the truth.
- My mother
- I'm glad that both of you are here.
If I may
I would like to see your father.
But I understand if you won't let me.
Right, Tarjo?
You may. This way.
Please forgive me, dear.
I'm here now.
Mom.
Please excuse me for a minute.
If I may, I'd like to recite the Quran for a while.
Of course.
I'll wait outside.
How could you talk about that right now?
Know your place, Tarjo.
Who do you think you are?
Even in his condition,
our father is still alive.
It's inappropriate for you to talk about inheritance.
Enough, Wati.
Let's both be honest.
We both have financial problems now.
And it's a big problem.
God willing
Dad's inheritance can help us solve our problems.
I bet Dad would be happy if he could help us.
Come on.
Have a seat.
Sit down, and calm down.
Retno?
Mr. Syafaat?
Sir.
I offer my condolences.
Stay strong, my dear.
Thank you so much.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Y-Sn.
By the Quran, rich in wisdom.
You, O Prophet, are truly one of the messengers
upon the Straight Path.
This is a revelation from the Almighty, Most Merciful,
so that you may warn a people whose forefathers were not warned,
and so are heedless.
Wiryo?
Dear?
Oh, dear. Wiryo?
It's okay.
It's okay. Go back to bed.
Wiryo!
It's okay.
Remember Allah. Say His name.
Say His name.
- Who was that?
- What happened?
Mom?
What's wrong, Mom?
Jo
What happened?
He woke up!
He woke up.
He woke up.
Your father woke up.
Jo, your father woke up. He woke up, Jo.
He woke up.
It's alright. It's okay.
Let's all go back.
Mom? Mom.
Mom.
Mom.
What did you see?
What are you doing?
Looking for dad's will.
Dad's still alive.
How could you be thinking about his will?
Dad is just counting his days, Retno.
God forgive me.
It's still inappropriate!
What's inappropriate
is letting my children starve.
Something bad happened to me, Retno.
My husband is useless.
I have to face all this alone.
You're not alone.
You have me.
You're leaving soon.
You got a good job.
That means my only hope
is the inheritance from dad.
This is all the food?
It's day two, is this all the food?
This is delicious. It's pretty rare.
You can find this in the market.
What good is rare if there's nothing to drink?
Let's just pack this for home.
Right
Here you go, ladies.
Would you like some more?
- Yes.
- Thank you.
- Sir.
- Oh.
Why are you here?
Excuse me. We can start the prayers now.
Yes, yes.
- Hurry up then.
- Quick.
Excuse me. Coming through.
Ladies and gentlemen
It is time for us to start our prayers.
Is this picture of the land good enough?
Just send me the best pictures of Dad's land.
I'm meeting the guy tomorrow.
I'm sending it to you now.
Good, make sure it's sent.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
All praise is for AllahLord of all worlds,
the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful,
Master of the Day of Judgment.
Here you go, Sir.
Guide us along the Straight Path...
- Go, Dimas, go!
- Go, go, go!
Go, go, go!
- Go, go!
- Dimas, Ruri!
I bought some ice drinks.
Here, Dimas.
Aren't we getting some for Dad?
Oh, your dad.
- He said he wanted to help...
- Peace be upon you.
Ms. Wati?
Ms. Wati?
Yes, Mr. Hendro?
Do you have your rent money now, Ms. Wati?
About that, can I please have some more time?
I already have a new tenant who is willing to pay me cash.
Please help me out, Sir.
It's not like I'm new here.
I had an accident at the store.
That's the thing.
You've been selling firecrackers without a permit.
Correct?
I did say it was an accident, didn't I?
Who wants to lose their store?
Alright, alright.
I'll give you three more days.
After that, no more excuses.
Understood?
You just want to get more from the inheritance, right?
My God.
Once again, I only convey what is true and what is false.
It is God's will. It is God's will.
Inheritance should not be divided equally.
If we split it equally, it will be wrong.
And if we're wrong, we'll get punished.
So now you're bringing religion into this?
What do you know about religion?
You just wear a tunic and now suddenly you're acting holy.
You are nothing but a drunk and a son of a whore.
Watch your mouth!
My mother is legally married to our dad.
Everyone knows that all your mother has to offer is her body.
Do not speak ill of my mother!
Just wait.
You'll become poor, and I'll be rich!
Do you know why? Because your husband is useless!
- All he does
- You jerk!
Wati. Wati! That's enough!
You'll see.
You'll get what you deserve!
- What? Go away!
- Enough. Enough.
Everything is alright.
Sorry for the trouble.
Y-Sn.
By the Quran, rich in wisdom.
You, O Prophet, are truly one of the messengers
upon the Straight Path.
Retno.
- I need to use the bathroom.
- Okay.
What are you doing?
I I was
What is that?
Let me see!
Oh.
Is it not enough that your son is asking for more inheritance?
And now,
you're planning to kill my dad sooner?
I swear to God, Wati.
I swear to Allah.
I just wanted to protect him.
Retno.
Retno, you believe me, don't you?
You should leave.
Go!
Take your amulet with you.
What is going on?
Did I hear someone say amulet?
It turns out,
that Mr. Wiryo
studies!
Studies what?
He studies science.
- Well, black magic, of course.
- I didn't know.
I bet the commotion was because he has a 'protector'.
- Right?
- Oh, I bet.
Ladies, are you serious?
Stop gossiping, we're in mourning.
Ladies and gentlemen, apologies for the disturbance.
- Let us continue the prayers.
- Yes, yes.
- Let's sit back down.
- Yes, Sir.
Yes.
Yes.
Apologies.
God willing, we can continue smoothly.
Amen.
Retno.
Yes, Sir?
I just wanted to know.
Why did you stop reciting the Quran?
Oh, never mind then.
Just know that whenever you feel like talking,
I'll be here to listen.
Yes, of course.
If you feel like you have to, don't!
What do you mean, Wati?
- I'm so sorry, I
- It's okay, you can go.
- Please excuse me.
- Yes.
To take care of this family!
You always do this!
Crazy!
You think everything I do is wrong?
Screw this.
Everything I do is always wrong.
Dimas, let's go home.
- But Dad
- No buts!
Wati.
Dad?
Oh, thank God.
Dad?
Dad?
Dad?
Dad?
Dad?
Dad?
Dad?
Go back to sleep.
Go back to sleep, Dad.
Go back to sleep.
Retno?
Retno?
Aren't you going to stay tonight?
It's very late.
No, uhm.
My kids are waiting.
Wati.
Dad?
You cheated!
For the sake of my daughters,
I'm staying here with you.
It really hurts.
You've kept this secret for nine years, Wiryo.
All because you wanted a son.
It breaks my heart!
It hurts even more because you're so greedy!
You like her. You want to be with her.
But you still want to be with me.
If that's not greedy, then what is?
To make things worse,
you don't even feel sorry for me.
I am heartbroken, Wiryo. I'm shattered!
Retno?
Retno! Retno! It's Wati.
Wati
Retno.
Please
You have to let it go.
Be calm, okay?
Be strong and let it go.
It appears she suffered a minor heart attack.
I'd recommend going for a full check up.
Yes. I understand.
I'll make sure my mother gets treated.
God willing.
Nothing is in the way anymore.
I should go then.
Yes, Ma'am.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Dad?
Dad?
He will come!
Thank you. Thank you.
My mother was going to take care of Dimas and Ruri.
But that doesn't mean I'm not taking responsibility.
I actually want to look for a job to start a new life.
Isn't that great?
You're starting a new life.
Meanwhile, Wati's life has just ended.
Don't you dare accuse me.
You don't know how hard it was being Wati's husband.
Every time I try to step up as the head of the family,
it was never enough for Wati.
And just so you know.
That night,
I already asked Wati to come home with me.
But, as usual.
She always made me feel
like I wasn't needed.
I'm tired.
Oh, God, forgive me.
Forgive me, God.
Good morning.
Morning.
My sister had always been very hot-headed.
But she meant well.
As far as I know,
she didn't have a problem with anyone.
Ms. Retno,
a few witnesses said
that Ms. Wati and Mr. Tarjo
had an argument at the market.
Is that true?
Yes, that is true.
I'm sorry, but
What was it about?
They were talking about
inheritance, Sir.
A couple of witnesses also said
that Mr. Tarjo threatened Ms. Wati.
Is that also true?
Yes.
Tarjo said
"you'll get what you deserve".
But I thought that was all talk.
Be right back, Mom.
Who is it?
Mr. Tarjo?
Yes, that's me.
We have a search warrant for your house.
- A search warrant?
- You can read this.
What is this about?
Start looking.
What is happening?
You can read that.
Sir, please calm down.
Tarjo.
Jo?
Hey.
Who are you?
What is going on?
Please stop this, Sir.
You won't find anything here.
Please, at least tell me what this is about.
Excuse me.
That is not mine.
You should come with us.
- I swear to God.
- Whatever it is.
What do you mean? It is not mine. There is no proof!
Take him.
No, Sir!
You need to prove it. It's not mine!
Jo, what is happening?
It's alright, Ma'am.
We're just doing our job. We need to take him with us.
Hey, hey, hey!
Go after him!
- Hey!
- Tarjo!
Quick, quick!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
Hurry!
Let's split up. You go there.
- You go over there.
- Yes, Sir.
Yes, Sir!
- What's going on?
- There's a fugitive. He's wearing yellow.
- Let's look for him.
- Okay.
Ma'am?
There is something important
that I need to tell you.
You must believe me.
Tarjo would never hurt Wati.
Tarjo
respects the two of you so much.
Because no matter what
You share the same blood.
The same father.
I'm sorry, Ma'am.
But let's just leave it to the police.
Ma'am.
I need to ask you one thing.
What were you holding, on the night of the prayers?
This might be hard to believe.
But your father has a protector.
A protector?
What do you mean?
There's a jinn in your father's body.
Your father said
that one day
the jinn will cause him misery.
I just want him
to die a peaceful death.
That's why I brought that amulet
to get rid of that jinn.
Your poor father.
Sir?
Excuse me, Sir?
Tarjo
Dad?
Dad?
Retno!
Retno!
Dad?
Dad?
Dad!
What's wrong?
I can't take it anymore.
I want to die.
Dad, I'm not giving up on you.
Let's try our best, okay?
We'll go to the hospital tomorrow.
There's no use.
Dad
Dad.
Promise me.
You'll let me die.
Dad?
Repeat after me.
There is
No God..
Except
Dad. Dad?
Ismi
Dad, I'll be right back.
Retno?
Retno!
Retno!
Retno!
I had a dream that you died.
It's okay. It's okay.
I'm right here.
It was just a dream.
There, there.
It's alright.
You're okay, aren't you?
I need to check on my father.
Retno.
Please don't leave me.
I'm scared.
Alright, I'll stay with you.
- It's okay.
- Retno?
What are you doing in my room?
Ismi?
Ismi?
Wake up, dear.
- Ismi?
- Ismi!
- Ismi?
- Wake up.
- Ismi.
- Dear.
- Ismi.
- Wake up, my dear.
Mom! Retno!
It hurts!
Where does it hurt?
It hurts. Help me!
Help me, Mom.
Retno?
- It hurts.
- I know, I'm so sorry.
Calm down, my dear.
It hurts.
It will be okay. Calm down.
- It's okay, dear.
- It hurts.
Ever since my father had a second wife,
our lives changed.
Especially mom's.
I was angry.
How could Allah
let all of this happen to us?
We pray religiously.
We recite the Quran.
Because I was angry,
I stopped doing both of those.
After we talked at your mother's prayers,
I've been looking for this.
Look.
Read the last surah before you stopped reciting the Quran.
Ma wad da'aka rabbuka wa ma qalaa
Your Lord has not abandoned you,
nor has He become hateful of you.
You abandoned Allah because you were angry.
Understandable.
You are human, and to be angry is human.
But, God is Allah.
Ar-rahmaanirrahiim.
Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
He never abandons you.
I just want my father to die peacefully, Sir.
Yes.
I'll help as much as I can.
Thank you.
After what you said,
I think the jinn has a purpose.
Because
working together with a jinn like that
will have its own consequences.
So what does the jinn want?
Well.
We must find out.
What do you mean?
Let's call upon this entity.
How do we do that?
And with every breath I take, I call upon you
O who lurks behind the light of day...
And with every breath I take, I call upon you
And with every breath I take,
I call upon you, O who lurks behind the light of day...
Who
Who are you?
I am Wiryo.
Wiryo is me.
What do you want?
You.
Daughter.
Dad?
You were right.
A jinn appeared.
Maybe
that jinn is the one keeping my dad alive.
Besides prayers,
we must try our best.
Okay?
I'll help you tonight.
Thank you, Sir.
Tarjo?
This doesn't make sense.
How did the knife end up at my house?
Shit!
Ugh!
I'm going to leave this village.
What's wrong, Indah?
I'm so sorry, Tarjo.
Why are you apologizing?
You've been helping me.
How could you?!
How could you?!
It was the only way to help my daughter.
You bitch! Damn you!
I'm so sorry.
Tarjo
Mrs. Giyem, please calm down.
There, there.
Excuse me.
Indah.
You and Ismi should stay inside. Don't come out.
I'm going to pray for my dad with Mr. Syafaat.
What prayers?
So he can die peacefully.
Okay?
This glass of water is a sign.
If we succeed,
the water will run out on its own.
Let's start.
O Allah, make it easy for us and have mercy on us,
and unite our hearts to your servants
from jinn and humans...
Don't stop!
Don't stop, Retno. Keep going.
Mom, it hurts!
Mom, help me, it hurts!
Keep going!
It hurts, Mom!
Mom, help. It hurts!
It hurts!
Mom, help. It hurts!
It hurts!
- It hurts.
- It's okay, I'm right here.
- It hurts.
- I'm here.
Come on, Retno, keep going.
Keep going.
Retno.
Keep going. Don't stop!
Retno, don't stop! Keep going!
Come on then.
It hurts.
My dear.
Wake up.
Wake up, Ismi.
Ismi, wake up.
We did it.
We really did it.
Retno!
Mr. Syafaat!
Indah!
Are you out of your mind?
It's for Ismi.
Everything I did is for Ismi.
Ismi
Ismi is
your little sister, Retno!
You promised me, Wiryo.
That Giyem would be your last.
And now
you got our maid pregnant!
How could you?
You keep hurting me!
Ma'am, please forgive me.
Sir
- What do you say?
- Thank you.
Oh, no. It's okay.
Thank you so much.
Something very strong is protecting your husband.
It might come back.
And hurt me.
What about his youngest daughter, Mbah?
How do we cure Ismi faster?
It's alright, Indah.
Be patient.
Ismi is my daughter too.
I will not stand by and do nothing.
When I'm in Jogja,
I'll send her my protector,
so she can get better.
Wiryo?
- Dad.
- Wiryo?
But then the accident happened.
After he dies,
the jinn will move to one of his children.
I need to make sure
that the jinn will move to Ismi.
When it does, the black magic curse will be lifted.
I'm so sorry.
Say it.
Say it.
You are willing to accept me.
And I shall save your life.
I am willing.
Forgive me, please!
Mom?
It hurts, Mom!
Mom, it hurts!
Mom, it hurts, Mom!
Mom.
It hurts, Mom.
Mom.
Mom.
It hurts, Mom.
Mom.
Mom, it hurts.
Retno, it hurts.
It really hurts.
No, please don't.
Ismi.
It hurts.
It hurts.
No.
Please, don't.
Mom.
This will hurt.
But I promise.
You will be healed.
Just kill me instead.
Don't hurt Ismi.
Mom.
Mom, I feel better.
