Sumala (2024) Movie Script
JRAGUNG MARKEThis is how you make a ball.
Tie it tightly.
- It's done. Let's play!
- Yeah!
- Let's go.
- Abdi!
Be home before sunset, okay?
Yes, Dad!
Let's go!
It's getting dark. Let's go back.
We'll go later. You guys can go.
Come on then.
Come on, let's go home.
Oh, no.
Gosh, where did you kick it, Tris?
I think it's over here.
Let's leave it and come back tomorrow.
It's already dark.
Oh, come on, you.
Abdi, Sutrisno.
Come here.
Whose voice is that?
Come here.
Hey, my ball!
Tris! Gosh.
Oh, dear.
Tris!
Sutris! Where are you?
Dad! Dad, help! It's Sutrisno!
Dad!
- Abdi, where is he?
- Over there.
- Come on then.
- Come on!
Whose blood is this?
Over here in the river!
The river! Let's go!
The river. Go, hurry up!
Trisno!
My son!
Trisno, my son!
I insist.
We need to punish this boy.
He pushed my son off the cliff.
Don't you dare accuse him!
Dad, it was a girl.
A girl smashed Sutrisno's head
with a rock.
What girl?
Every child was already at home.
It wasn't me, Sir. I swear!
Please believe me.
You murderer!
Wait!
I believe you.
Mr. Sabdo?
That girl is still around.
Who do you mean?
Sumala.
Sumala?
Sumala.
The Devil's child.
It all started 29 years ago.
Meneer Hansen sends his regards.
He's glad that his daughter,
your wife, Soelastri,
is taken care of and living in luxury.
Please send him back my regards.
Yes. Soelastri is my precious diamond.
I'll never let go of her.
You know your uncle and aunt
have given most of their land
for the development of our area.
The people from the factory
have prepared everything.
All they need now is your land.
Uncle.
We've talked about this many times.
Yet you haven't made a decision.
If you want to give it now,
we can still write up an agreement,
and you
can still get
partial profit from the factory.
I've told you again and again, Uncle.
I will never sell my land to anyone.
It belongs to the Hasungkara family!
Here.
All the documents you need.
I've taken care of the permit.
Read it carefully.
Wow.
Uncle and Meneer.
Why didn't you tell us you were visiting?
We could have prepared rooms for you.
Here you go, dear.
I'm not staying long.
Your husband knows why I'm here.
All right then, Uncle.
Please enjoy.
Please help yourself, Meneer.
Wrap up what you need to say, Uncle.
If only my wife were like Soelastri.
In 11 years of marriage,
I would have had eight children
to secure the rights for the land.
So, whether it is
now or later without a will,
I can take over all of
the land that belongs to Hastungkara.
Time is our enemy, Soedjiman.
Did your uncle give you a hard time again?
Don't wear that kebaya anymore.
Throw it away if needed.
I don't like it.
You gifted it to me, dear.
Where were you this morning?
The sun was up.
The market must have been crowded.
I went to get a herbal drink for my womb.
In a couple of months, I
Find another way.
Please give me more time.
Why don't you let me talk to your uncle?
- Dear.
- What? What do you want?
Do you really think
that I can't face my greedy uncle?
- That's not what I mean.
- All this estate
that I inherited from my parents.
It is my hard work.
I will never give it away
to my greedy uncle.
Do you understand?
- Dear.
- I'm okay.
I can stand on my own.
You
take care of your womb.
Having a child
was also one of my parents' wishes.
If by next year
you still can't give me an heir,
I shall
marry again.
- Hurry up.
- Why are you in such a rush?
Did you forget?
My wife can't get pregnant.
- She can't get pregnant?
- Yeah.
Then what?
I have to take her to Grandma Tukinah
in the other village.
Who is Grandma Tukinah?
An old lady who can make people pregnant.
Does it really work?
My wife says so.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Seriously?
- Yes.
This is Pak Yanto
who will take you across.
Madam.
Mr. Yanto?
Can you take these ladies across, Sir?
Ma'am?
Someone wants to see you.
Are you aware
that asking me for help
is not like asking other shamans for help?
My powers are different.
Black magic.
And you need to do a ritual.
This is a serious matter.
With this ritual,
you will be bound to my master.
Master?
Who is your master?
My master is
the Devil.
If you want,
you can have two children at once.
Two?
But if you don't, it's all right.
I do.
There is a requirement.
What is it?
You will get pregnant with twins.
One will be beautiful and kind.
From the human race.
And the other,
will be ugly and wicked.
From the Devil's race.
When they are born,
you and your husband
must take care of them
until they are ten years old.
After that,
the ugly and wicked child will leave.
She'll be taken by her owner.
Yes.
The Devil himself.
However
if you do not take care of them properly,
bad things will happen to your family.
Each year it will get worse.
Day and night will never be the same.
Oh, Devil.
There is a human here
who wants your help.
Unite her
with you.
Give her what she wants.
Bind her with you.
This woman now serves you.
In two months,
you will get pregnant.
TWO MONTHS LATER
Yes, you are pregnant.
You're pregnant with twins, Madam.
Thank you, darling.
Grandma Tukinah is amazing, isn't she?
She gave you a massage once
and now you're pregnant.
Later,
what shall we name them?
Boy or girl?
Girl.
Kumala.
And the other one?
Sumala.
Sumala.
Sukir?
Yes, Sir?
Tell the whole village.
My wife is pregnant
with my heir.
Ladies and gentlemen,
that concludes the bathing ceremony.
Yes, Madam. Breathe.
Madam, take a deep breath.
Gosh
Sir.
Please wait outside, all right?
Darni and I will take good care of Madam.
Please excuse us.
Again, Madam. Breathe.
Madam
Again, Madam.
Yes, Madam.
Breathe.
Yes, Madam. Just a little more.
Just a little more. Come on.
Come, Madam, once more.
- Okay.
- Keep going!
Breathe.
Keep going.
One more time, Madam.
Another one, Madam.
Breathe, just a little more, Madam.
Keep going, Madam. Keep going.
Yes. A little bit more.
Madam. Take a deep breath.
Yes, keep going, Madam!
Come on. Yes, yes.
Oh, dear.
- Aunt Sum.
- Yes?
Scissors, please.
Baby?
Baby?
Aunt Sum.
What is it?
It's nothing, Madam.
- Aunt Sum, please help.
- Yes.
Keep going.
- Come.
- Come on, Madam.
Careful.
Yes, Madam, keep going.
Come on, baby, cry.
Just a little more. Keep going, Madam.
Just a little more
Keep going.
Come on, Madam.
Please cry, baby.
- Cry.
- Is the baby here?
Yes, Sir.
What is this, Aunt?
Well
I
What is that?
I'm so sorry, Sir.
This baby is deformed.
Deformed?
Yes, Sir.
Oh, dear. Sir!
Dear?
What is that for, dear?
Dear.
No.
No
No.
Dear.
No!
Sir.
She's crying.
Sukir!
- Sukir!
- Yes, Sir.
Tell the whole village.
My daughter has been born.
My heir.
Yes, Sir.
Let's learn how to walk.
Like this. Straighten your legs.
Straighten your legs.
Walk that way. Straight.
Come on, Kumala.
She's three years old,
but she can't talk yet,
and can't walk either?
The other kids are already doing it.
It turns out
Soedjiman's life is not perfect.
Excuse me, Sir.
Which cigars would you like
to serve to the guests?
Oh, right.
Crippled?
I heard that when he was a boy,
Soedjiman was crippled.
He couldn't walk properly.
It became the talk of the town.
After he grew up, he healed
after getting massaged by Mrs. Darmi.
They should take Kumala to Mrs. Darmi.
They did, but it didn't work.
Kumala.
You've been playing
for two hours. Come inside.
Come.
Kumala.
Dear.
That's enough, dear.
Kumala.
No, that's dangerous!
Enough!
Stop it. Don't do that. Stop, Kumala!
Miss Kumala, please stop.
Enough!
Stop, Kumala!
- Get a rope.
- Yes, Sir.
- Sukir, no!
- Shut it.
No! No!
Dear, please don't!
Don't!
She's out of her mind.
She's crazy!
No! No!
- Sir!
- Quiet!
- Wait here!
- Please.
Quiet.
Kumala!
Kumala?
No luck, Madam.
Did you look in the garden?
Yes, Sir.
The staff all went looking.
They can't find her.
Did you get it?
- Great!
- Here, here.
Who's that?
Mr. Soedjiman's daughter.
Kumala.
My dad works in their garden.
They say she's crazy.
Hold this.
Kumala?
Come here.
Look.
Come over here.
- Go away!
- Yeah!
Sir.
I beg you, please.
- Sukir.
- Yes, Sir.
Get my whip.
Yes, Sir.
We've already told you.
Do not leave the house.
And now you went to the market.
Embarrassing!
Here, Sir.
Please don't, Sir.
Don't do it.
- Please don't, Sir.
- Get over here.
Mom?
Dear.
Mom.
Mom!
Oh, dear God.
- It hurts, Aunt.
- I'm so sorry, sweetheart.
It's done now.
Let me cover it up.
Don't be sad.
Do you want to play the piano?
Yes? Come.
I'll walk you there.
Be careful.
Sweetheart.
Kumala.
Tomorrow is your eighth birthday.
I made you a present.
A present?
Yes.
- Thank you, Aunt.
- You're welcome.
Do you like it?
My dearest.
I love you so much.
Kumala.
Kumala.
Over here.
Who are you?
I am Sumala.
Your twin.
Didn't your parents tell you?
That you had a twin?
They are cruel!
They killed me
because I was ugly!
Don't be afraid.
I won't harm you.
I love you, Kumala.
Sisters do not hurt each other.
We protect each other.
Kumala.
You want a friend, don't you?
Look at me.
I am your friend.
Your best friend.
From now on,
day and night will be different.
You're being noisy!
It is late!
Sir
Watch your daughter.
Yes, dear.
- Aunt Sum.
- Yes, Madam.
Miss Kumala?
Be strong.
What now?
What happened, dear?
Sir
No, I'm fine.
What is the matter with you?
If you ever talk back to me again,
I will punish you like this every day!
Mom.
Mom.
How could you do that to your father?
- Mom.
- Enough.
- Just be quiet.
- Lastri!
Mom
I made gudeg. Your favorite food, Kumala.
- I want some tea.
- Of course. Just a moment.
How rude!
Sukir!
- Rope!
- Yes, Sir!
Come here.
Get down.
Let go!
Stop, Kumala. That's enough!
How dare
- Crazy girl!
- Kumala!
Miss Kumala!
Kumala?
Miss Kumala? Where are you?
Miss Kumala?
- Aunt Sum.
- Yes.
Miss Kumala, what are you doing?
Oh, God.
Dear.
Last night,
why did you behave like that?
Why were you so naughty?
It wasn't me who was naughty.
But
Sumala.
Sumala?
Who is Sumala?
Whose name did she say?
Sumala, Madam.
Madam, what is it?
Sukir, where is Madam going?
I don't know. She said to the market.
But she doesn't want me to take her.
That's it.
Dear, can you help me out?
What is it? I'm eating well right now.
While I'm here.
I need to go after Madam.
I need to get something at the market.
Can you watch Kumala?
Okay.
All right then. Finish eating first.
Sir?
Can you take me to Grandma Tukinah?
Grandma Tukinah died last month.
She died?
She died
Madam.
Aunt Sum.
Excuse me.
- I made a mistake.
- I understand.
What mistake did you make?
I made
a deal with the Devil.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
No! I don't want to! No!
No! Mr. Sukir, let me go!
No! Let go!
No! No!
Let go!
- Let's tie you up.
- No!
Tightly!
No! Let me go!
Be quiet.
Be quiet.
No!
Shush, shush, shush.
Or I'll slit your throat.
Sir.
I beg of you.
Please don't lock
Miss Kumala in the shed every night.
Do you want me to die then?
The little girl stabbed me.
She attacked other people.
Every night she's
becoming more like an animal.
Getting wilder and wilder.
But the poor girl, Sir.
Whatever.
Don't give me orders.
Dear?
Dear?
Aunt?
Aunt?
Don't be sad, all right?
I don't care who you are.
I will always love you, Kumala.
All right?
Kumala?
Kumala?
Shall we play?
Come here!
Look, a ball!
Let's play over there.
Over there.
Whatever.
Kumala.
Kumala.
Try and kick it.
Crippled, crippled, crippled!
Crippled, crippled, crippled!
Crippled, crippled, crippled!
- Don't do that!
- Why?
The poor thing.
Look, she's crying.
Stop it. Let's do this.
She's a mess!
Oh, God. Kumala!
Hey!
Hey, hey, hey!
How can you boys be so naughty?
Stop it!
Go away, all of you!
Dear.
Be strong.
It's okay.
What is that?
The usual.
Every night, all she does is wreak havoc.
But it sounds louder than usual, dear.
It's your fault. I told you
to get water since the sun was still up.
Okay, Mom. I'm getting it!
Supri.
Come play with me.
Gosh, who is it?
Why would you play so late at night?
That'll teach you to leave me alone.
Karyo
What now?
My mom is being weird.
I'm sleepy, but she's making me do things.
Well
Your poor uncle, though.
No one is there.
If we don't get him some food,
he'll be even more sick.
Sukro!
- Sukro?
- Sukro.
Karyo.
Sukro!
Son!
Son!
Supri!
- What do we do now?
- Son!
Where else should we search?
It's been three days since he disappeared.
What has gotten into him?
Why did he leave without telling us?
Sukro!
- Sukro!
- Karyo!
- Karyo!
- Sukro!
- Karyo!
- Sukro!
We'd like to give you a report, Chief.
We've searched here and there.
All the way to the neighboring village.
All right then.
Let's search around an even bigger area.
I'll work with the other village chiefs.
Gentlemen!
Please take care of your children.
Do not let them out
after sunset, all right?
Yes, Sir!
- Jono.
- Yeah?
Are the dads still there?
At the chief's house?
I guess. Maybe until dawn?
What if Supri, Karyo, and Sukro
got eaten by a crocodile?
What if they got eaten by a tiger?
What if it's not even a real tiger?
Enough! Stop spitting nonsense.
They're probably
just pulling a prank on us.
Impossible.
Would they even go this far?
Who knows?
My ball is gone.
Who else dares to take it except them?
Kumala?
Kumala?
Come on.
What are you doing?
Do you want to play ball?
All right.
How will she kick it?
I know, right?
- Jon, what's wrong?
- Jon!
What's that she's holding?
Hey, who are you looking for?
Listen to me when I'm talking to you!
- Jono!
- How dare you!
I'll kill you!
Parto!
No!
Karyo!
- Son!
- Sukro!
Where are you, Son?
Sarno!
What is it?
- Over there.
- What's over there?
Go on, then.
Open it. Uncover it!
- God, forgive us!
- What is this?
Sukro!
Dear God, forgive us.
- Sukro!
- There, there.
Say your prayers.
What is this?
What is this?
Please help.
- What is this?
- What's wrong?
- Have a look.
- Is it blood?
There's a body.
Sir, help!
Help.
Sir!
Gosh, what is this?
What is this
- What's going on here?
- Out of the way.
Sir.
Sir!
At the field.
What? What is it?
Let's go.
Move. Move it, you. Move!
There he is!
Soedjiman!
Come out, Soedjiman!
What is this?
Hey, Sukir! Where is Soedjiman?
Where is he?!
- There he is.
- Hurry!
What is going on here?
You killed our sons!
Killed who?
Nonsense!
Where is the proof?
Soedjiman.
If it truly wasn't you,
then who else did it?
Was it your daughter?
This is the proof!
I found it in the forest.
- Right next to Sukro and Karyo's bodies!
- The young lady?
Just admit it!
This belongs to your daughter, right?
Admit it, Soedjiman!
She would never do such a thing.
You have a crazy daughter!
Yes, your daughter is crazy!
Hey.
Watch it.
Watch your mouth.
Now go home.
Go, all of you.
Back to your homes!
I shall take this matter up to the chief.
Don't just point fingers!
Go! Go back home!
- Go.
- Scatter, all of you!
That girl
She's in her room all day.
She's in the shed all night.
There's no way she could get out.
I need to make sure
that when Kumala
is locked here every night,
there is no way she can get out.
Lastri.
Kumala would never do this.
It wasn't Kumala.
It's Sumala.
Who is Suma
No!
Kumala mentioned that name, dear.
And I've seen it with my own eyes.
She looked exactly like Kumala.
But she's not crippled.
She moved oddly.
And she's always behind Kumala.
Then why didn't you tell me?
Why tell me now?
You should have raised her.
Not kill her!
This is all your fault!
Everything is a mess!
Kumala.
I want to ask you.
Was it Sumala
who killed those boys?
Was it?
I won't get mad.
I promise.
Yes.
Sumala.
I told her not to.
But she wanted to kill
everyone who was mean to me.
Sukir!
Sukir!
Yes, Sir?
Shackle Kumala.
Shackle?
Yes.
Right now.
Yes, Sir.
Dear.
Where are you going, dear?
I have to go.
It's time to ask for Mr. Kusno's help.
But he's so far away. I'll come with you.
No. You should stay here.
Watch your daughter.
Dear.
I'm scared.
Don't be afraid.
Sukir is here.
Kumala.
How did this happen, my dear?
Aunt.
Tomorrow is my birthday.
- I'll be ten.
- Yes.
I remember.
But I haven't made you a present.
What do you want?
I want you to leave right now.
Right now. Go far, far away.
Okay? Far away.
What do you mean?
I don't want any harm to come to you.
Okay? You should go. Now.
If I leave,
who's going to take care of you, my dear?
Thank you, Aunt.
For always being kind to me.
I love you so much.
My dear.
I love you so much, Kumala.
May God bless you with strength, my dear.
Take care, sweetheart.
Mother?
Where are you going?
We have to leave this house.
Leave?
But why?
I'll tell you later.
Let's go.
Come.
Here. Eat up.
It's not good.
You little
How can you not like good food?
What do you like?
That?
What are you eating?
Whatever. You'll get a stomachache later.
Yes, this is good.
It's savory.
Crazy girl.
To the ruler of everything
There is a soul without feeling
Which makes the body and soul
Unstable
What is it?
What did your wife do?
She made a deal with the Devil
just so she could get pregnant.
She carried twins.
A pretty girl, human.
And an ugly girl, the Devil's child.
You were supposed to raise both of them
until they were ten years old.
After that,
the ugly girl would be taken by the Devil.
And the rest of you would live happily.
Instead, you chose to kill her.
The Devil is furious.
Then what should I do?
Later at midnight,
it will be dangerous.
Kumala will turn ten years old.
She will be
completely possessed by Sumala.
Day will be just like night.
There is no difference.
Is there a way
that is possible
for my daughter to be saved?
We need to get
Sumala out of Kumala's body.
If not,
Kumala will forever be
Sumala, the Devil's child.
Use my keris if she fights back.
It can weaken her.
Bring her here. I shall prepare a ritual
to get Sumala out of Kumala.
But if it's too late,
you must stab her.
Right in her heart.
We cannot let
a Devil's child live in this world.
Sukir
Crazy girl.
Hey, what are you doing there?
How did you get out of your shackles?
Oh, you're pretending to cry?
You're playing games with me?
Crazy girl.
No. No!
No!
Please.
Please don't.
Shut it!
I'm going to slit your throat.
I'll do it slowly, okay?
So it hurts even more.
Forgive me, kid.
Kumala.
Kumala who?
Dear.
Dear.
Mom.
Let's play.
Let's play and chop some meat.
You whore.
Whore, whore. The Devil's wife!
You're a whore! A whore! The Devil's wife!
Kumala, no.
One more leg. Okay, Mom?
Why are you shaking your head?
Does it hurt?
It hurt too, when I was stabbed.
I'm sorry.
You didn't take care
of your daughter properly.
I wanted to raise you, dear.
Your father killed you. Not me!
Then why didn't you treat Kumala well?
Everything I did,
I did it to protect Kumala.
To protect Kumala,
or yourself?
I understand.
I was wrong.
Can I please talk to Kumala?
- Mom?
- Kumala.
Mom.
Mom.
Mom.
Please forgive me, dear.
I failed
to be a good mother to you.
I am so sorry, my dear.
I forgive you, Mom.
But I don't.
Lastri.
Lastri!
Lastri!
Lastri
Lastri!
This is my fault.
This is my fault!
Please forgive me, darling.
Dad.
Help me, Dad.
Dad, did you forget about me?
Becoming a cripple again, Dad?
JRAGUNG VILLAGE
Mr. Soedjiman?
- What is it, Sir?
- What's wrong?
My wife
died.
Indeed, to Allah we belong
and to Him we shall return.
How come?
Oh, God, forgive us!
Who would do such a thing?
- Sukir!
- God, forgive us!
All right then. Gentlemen!
Check the area.
You, and you, with me.
- Let's go.
- Yes!
Oh, God.
Oh, dear God.
What happened here?
Kuma
Kumala.
Kumala did all of this?
No. Not Kumala!
But
We must find her.
We must find Kumala!
Find her!
Then it is true.
Kumala was the one who killed our sons!
- No!
- That's right!
- Not her!
- Let's go get her!
Let's get her!
No! Sir
It wasn't Kumala.
It's not Kumala! Not her.
It wasn't Kumala!
Kumala!
Keep looking until we find her!
Kumala!
Kumala!
Kumala.
I am so sorry.
For everything I did wrong.
Come with me.
I'll take you to Mr. Kusno to heal you.
Crippled.
You were humiliated.
Then you were healed,
and you were perfect.
But then your daughter is crippled!
If you hated the way
your parents treated
you horribly back then,
you shouldn't have treated
your daughter the same way.
If you longed
for your parents' love back then,
your daughter longed for it too.
There is nothing
perfect in this world, Dad.
Yes, cry your heart out, Dad.
It's okay.
Cry.
Since I possessed Kumala's body,
my teeth have turned into fangs,
my eyes turned white,
and my heart
is no longer here.
But over here.
Any luck, Sir?
We couldn't find Kumala.
- And Mr. Soedjiman?
- We can't find him.
Oh, no.
The corn field. Let's go!
- Let's go!
- To the corn field!
- Sabdo.
- Sabdo!
What is it?
- Sabdo.
- That's
What is it, Sabdo?
Look.
- Oh, dear God.
- God, forgive us.
Mr. Soedjiman!
Indeed, to Allah we belong
and to Him we shall return.
- What happened?
- Grandpa Kusno died.
- How?
- I don't know. Maybe he's sick?
It's horrible.
- Oh, God.
- What is it?
Grandpa Kusno.
Nobody could ever tame Kumala
once she was possessed by Sumala.
Since then,
she has never been found.
That is why I keep saying this.
Everyone must be home before the sun sets.
- Okay, Sir.
- Never leave the house at night.
Or Sumala will hunt you down.
Sumala?
Especially
the kids who are
still playing in the dark.
BASED ON A TRUE STORY
PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT SUMALA
IS STILL LIVING AMONG THE FORESTS
IN THE SEMARANG REGENCY
TO THIS DAY, CHILDREN ARE ADVISED
TO STAY AT HOME AFTER SUNSEDear, did you not
put out offerings like everyone else?
I don't believe it!
Sutrisno died because of Abdi.
Not because of that girl.
Tie it tightly.
- It's done. Let's play!
- Yeah!
- Let's go.
- Abdi!
Be home before sunset, okay?
Yes, Dad!
Let's go!
It's getting dark. Let's go back.
We'll go later. You guys can go.
Come on then.
Come on, let's go home.
Oh, no.
Gosh, where did you kick it, Tris?
I think it's over here.
Let's leave it and come back tomorrow.
It's already dark.
Oh, come on, you.
Abdi, Sutrisno.
Come here.
Whose voice is that?
Come here.
Hey, my ball!
Tris! Gosh.
Oh, dear.
Tris!
Sutris! Where are you?
Dad! Dad, help! It's Sutrisno!
Dad!
- Abdi, where is he?
- Over there.
- Come on then.
- Come on!
Whose blood is this?
Over here in the river!
The river! Let's go!
The river. Go, hurry up!
Trisno!
My son!
Trisno, my son!
I insist.
We need to punish this boy.
He pushed my son off the cliff.
Don't you dare accuse him!
Dad, it was a girl.
A girl smashed Sutrisno's head
with a rock.
What girl?
Every child was already at home.
It wasn't me, Sir. I swear!
Please believe me.
You murderer!
Wait!
I believe you.
Mr. Sabdo?
That girl is still around.
Who do you mean?
Sumala.
Sumala?
Sumala.
The Devil's child.
It all started 29 years ago.
Meneer Hansen sends his regards.
He's glad that his daughter,
your wife, Soelastri,
is taken care of and living in luxury.
Please send him back my regards.
Yes. Soelastri is my precious diamond.
I'll never let go of her.
You know your uncle and aunt
have given most of their land
for the development of our area.
The people from the factory
have prepared everything.
All they need now is your land.
Uncle.
We've talked about this many times.
Yet you haven't made a decision.
If you want to give it now,
we can still write up an agreement,
and you
can still get
partial profit from the factory.
I've told you again and again, Uncle.
I will never sell my land to anyone.
It belongs to the Hasungkara family!
Here.
All the documents you need.
I've taken care of the permit.
Read it carefully.
Wow.
Uncle and Meneer.
Why didn't you tell us you were visiting?
We could have prepared rooms for you.
Here you go, dear.
I'm not staying long.
Your husband knows why I'm here.
All right then, Uncle.
Please enjoy.
Please help yourself, Meneer.
Wrap up what you need to say, Uncle.
If only my wife were like Soelastri.
In 11 years of marriage,
I would have had eight children
to secure the rights for the land.
So, whether it is
now or later without a will,
I can take over all of
the land that belongs to Hastungkara.
Time is our enemy, Soedjiman.
Did your uncle give you a hard time again?
Don't wear that kebaya anymore.
Throw it away if needed.
I don't like it.
You gifted it to me, dear.
Where were you this morning?
The sun was up.
The market must have been crowded.
I went to get a herbal drink for my womb.
In a couple of months, I
Find another way.
Please give me more time.
Why don't you let me talk to your uncle?
- Dear.
- What? What do you want?
Do you really think
that I can't face my greedy uncle?
- That's not what I mean.
- All this estate
that I inherited from my parents.
It is my hard work.
I will never give it away
to my greedy uncle.
Do you understand?
- Dear.
- I'm okay.
I can stand on my own.
You
take care of your womb.
Having a child
was also one of my parents' wishes.
If by next year
you still can't give me an heir,
I shall
marry again.
- Hurry up.
- Why are you in such a rush?
Did you forget?
My wife can't get pregnant.
- She can't get pregnant?
- Yeah.
Then what?
I have to take her to Grandma Tukinah
in the other village.
Who is Grandma Tukinah?
An old lady who can make people pregnant.
Does it really work?
My wife says so.
- Really?
- Yes.
- Seriously?
- Yes.
This is Pak Yanto
who will take you across.
Madam.
Mr. Yanto?
Can you take these ladies across, Sir?
Ma'am?
Someone wants to see you.
Are you aware
that asking me for help
is not like asking other shamans for help?
My powers are different.
Black magic.
And you need to do a ritual.
This is a serious matter.
With this ritual,
you will be bound to my master.
Master?
Who is your master?
My master is
the Devil.
If you want,
you can have two children at once.
Two?
But if you don't, it's all right.
I do.
There is a requirement.
What is it?
You will get pregnant with twins.
One will be beautiful and kind.
From the human race.
And the other,
will be ugly and wicked.
From the Devil's race.
When they are born,
you and your husband
must take care of them
until they are ten years old.
After that,
the ugly and wicked child will leave.
She'll be taken by her owner.
Yes.
The Devil himself.
However
if you do not take care of them properly,
bad things will happen to your family.
Each year it will get worse.
Day and night will never be the same.
Oh, Devil.
There is a human here
who wants your help.
Unite her
with you.
Give her what she wants.
Bind her with you.
This woman now serves you.
In two months,
you will get pregnant.
TWO MONTHS LATER
Yes, you are pregnant.
You're pregnant with twins, Madam.
Thank you, darling.
Grandma Tukinah is amazing, isn't she?
She gave you a massage once
and now you're pregnant.
Later,
what shall we name them?
Boy or girl?
Girl.
Kumala.
And the other one?
Sumala.
Sumala.
Sukir?
Yes, Sir?
Tell the whole village.
My wife is pregnant
with my heir.
Ladies and gentlemen,
that concludes the bathing ceremony.
Yes, Madam. Breathe.
Madam, take a deep breath.
Gosh
Sir.
Please wait outside, all right?
Darni and I will take good care of Madam.
Please excuse us.
Again, Madam. Breathe.
Madam
Again, Madam.
Yes, Madam.
Breathe.
Yes, Madam. Just a little more.
Just a little more. Come on.
Come, Madam, once more.
- Okay.
- Keep going!
Breathe.
Keep going.
One more time, Madam.
Another one, Madam.
Breathe, just a little more, Madam.
Keep going, Madam. Keep going.
Yes. A little bit more.
Madam. Take a deep breath.
Yes, keep going, Madam!
Come on. Yes, yes.
Oh, dear.
- Aunt Sum.
- Yes?
Scissors, please.
Baby?
Baby?
Aunt Sum.
What is it?
It's nothing, Madam.
- Aunt Sum, please help.
- Yes.
Keep going.
- Come.
- Come on, Madam.
Careful.
Yes, Madam, keep going.
Come on, baby, cry.
Just a little more. Keep going, Madam.
Just a little more
Keep going.
Come on, Madam.
Please cry, baby.
- Cry.
- Is the baby here?
Yes, Sir.
What is this, Aunt?
Well
I
What is that?
I'm so sorry, Sir.
This baby is deformed.
Deformed?
Yes, Sir.
Oh, dear. Sir!
Dear?
What is that for, dear?
Dear.
No.
No
No.
Dear.
No!
Sir.
She's crying.
Sukir!
- Sukir!
- Yes, Sir.
Tell the whole village.
My daughter has been born.
My heir.
Yes, Sir.
Let's learn how to walk.
Like this. Straighten your legs.
Straighten your legs.
Walk that way. Straight.
Come on, Kumala.
She's three years old,
but she can't talk yet,
and can't walk either?
The other kids are already doing it.
It turns out
Soedjiman's life is not perfect.
Excuse me, Sir.
Which cigars would you like
to serve to the guests?
Oh, right.
Crippled?
I heard that when he was a boy,
Soedjiman was crippled.
He couldn't walk properly.
It became the talk of the town.
After he grew up, he healed
after getting massaged by Mrs. Darmi.
They should take Kumala to Mrs. Darmi.
They did, but it didn't work.
Kumala.
You've been playing
for two hours. Come inside.
Come.
Kumala.
Dear.
That's enough, dear.
Kumala.
No, that's dangerous!
Enough!
Stop it. Don't do that. Stop, Kumala!
Miss Kumala, please stop.
Enough!
Stop, Kumala!
- Get a rope.
- Yes, Sir.
- Sukir, no!
- Shut it.
No! No!
Dear, please don't!
Don't!
She's out of her mind.
She's crazy!
No! No!
- Sir!
- Quiet!
- Wait here!
- Please.
Quiet.
Kumala!
Kumala?
No luck, Madam.
Did you look in the garden?
Yes, Sir.
The staff all went looking.
They can't find her.
Did you get it?
- Great!
- Here, here.
Who's that?
Mr. Soedjiman's daughter.
Kumala.
My dad works in their garden.
They say she's crazy.
Hold this.
Kumala?
Come here.
Look.
Come over here.
- Go away!
- Yeah!
Sir.
I beg you, please.
- Sukir.
- Yes, Sir.
Get my whip.
Yes, Sir.
We've already told you.
Do not leave the house.
And now you went to the market.
Embarrassing!
Here, Sir.
Please don't, Sir.
Don't do it.
- Please don't, Sir.
- Get over here.
Mom?
Dear.
Mom.
Mom!
Oh, dear God.
- It hurts, Aunt.
- I'm so sorry, sweetheart.
It's done now.
Let me cover it up.
Don't be sad.
Do you want to play the piano?
Yes? Come.
I'll walk you there.
Be careful.
Sweetheart.
Kumala.
Tomorrow is your eighth birthday.
I made you a present.
A present?
Yes.
- Thank you, Aunt.
- You're welcome.
Do you like it?
My dearest.
I love you so much.
Kumala.
Kumala.
Over here.
Who are you?
I am Sumala.
Your twin.
Didn't your parents tell you?
That you had a twin?
They are cruel!
They killed me
because I was ugly!
Don't be afraid.
I won't harm you.
I love you, Kumala.
Sisters do not hurt each other.
We protect each other.
Kumala.
You want a friend, don't you?
Look at me.
I am your friend.
Your best friend.
From now on,
day and night will be different.
You're being noisy!
It is late!
Sir
Watch your daughter.
Yes, dear.
- Aunt Sum.
- Yes, Madam.
Miss Kumala?
Be strong.
What now?
What happened, dear?
Sir
No, I'm fine.
What is the matter with you?
If you ever talk back to me again,
I will punish you like this every day!
Mom.
Mom.
How could you do that to your father?
- Mom.
- Enough.
- Just be quiet.
- Lastri!
Mom
I made gudeg. Your favorite food, Kumala.
- I want some tea.
- Of course. Just a moment.
How rude!
Sukir!
- Rope!
- Yes, Sir!
Come here.
Get down.
Let go!
Stop, Kumala. That's enough!
How dare
- Crazy girl!
- Kumala!
Miss Kumala!
Kumala?
Miss Kumala? Where are you?
Miss Kumala?
- Aunt Sum.
- Yes.
Miss Kumala, what are you doing?
Oh, God.
Dear.
Last night,
why did you behave like that?
Why were you so naughty?
It wasn't me who was naughty.
But
Sumala.
Sumala?
Who is Sumala?
Whose name did she say?
Sumala, Madam.
Madam, what is it?
Sukir, where is Madam going?
I don't know. She said to the market.
But she doesn't want me to take her.
That's it.
Dear, can you help me out?
What is it? I'm eating well right now.
While I'm here.
I need to go after Madam.
I need to get something at the market.
Can you watch Kumala?
Okay.
All right then. Finish eating first.
Sir?
Can you take me to Grandma Tukinah?
Grandma Tukinah died last month.
She died?
She died
Madam.
Aunt Sum.
Excuse me.
- I made a mistake.
- I understand.
What mistake did you make?
I made
a deal with the Devil.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
No! I don't want to! No!
No! Mr. Sukir, let me go!
No! Let go!
No! No!
Let go!
- Let's tie you up.
- No!
Tightly!
No! Let me go!
Be quiet.
Be quiet.
No!
Shush, shush, shush.
Or I'll slit your throat.
Sir.
I beg of you.
Please don't lock
Miss Kumala in the shed every night.
Do you want me to die then?
The little girl stabbed me.
She attacked other people.
Every night she's
becoming more like an animal.
Getting wilder and wilder.
But the poor girl, Sir.
Whatever.
Don't give me orders.
Dear?
Dear?
Aunt?
Aunt?
Don't be sad, all right?
I don't care who you are.
I will always love you, Kumala.
All right?
Kumala?
Kumala?
Shall we play?
Come here!
Look, a ball!
Let's play over there.
Over there.
Whatever.
Kumala.
Kumala.
Try and kick it.
Crippled, crippled, crippled!
Crippled, crippled, crippled!
Crippled, crippled, crippled!
- Don't do that!
- Why?
The poor thing.
Look, she's crying.
Stop it. Let's do this.
She's a mess!
Oh, God. Kumala!
Hey!
Hey, hey, hey!
How can you boys be so naughty?
Stop it!
Go away, all of you!
Dear.
Be strong.
It's okay.
What is that?
The usual.
Every night, all she does is wreak havoc.
But it sounds louder than usual, dear.
It's your fault. I told you
to get water since the sun was still up.
Okay, Mom. I'm getting it!
Supri.
Come play with me.
Gosh, who is it?
Why would you play so late at night?
That'll teach you to leave me alone.
Karyo
What now?
My mom is being weird.
I'm sleepy, but she's making me do things.
Well
Your poor uncle, though.
No one is there.
If we don't get him some food,
he'll be even more sick.
Sukro!
- Sukro?
- Sukro.
Karyo.
Sukro!
Son!
Son!
Supri!
- What do we do now?
- Son!
Where else should we search?
It's been three days since he disappeared.
What has gotten into him?
Why did he leave without telling us?
Sukro!
- Sukro!
- Karyo!
- Karyo!
- Sukro!
- Karyo!
- Sukro!
We'd like to give you a report, Chief.
We've searched here and there.
All the way to the neighboring village.
All right then.
Let's search around an even bigger area.
I'll work with the other village chiefs.
Gentlemen!
Please take care of your children.
Do not let them out
after sunset, all right?
Yes, Sir!
- Jono.
- Yeah?
Are the dads still there?
At the chief's house?
I guess. Maybe until dawn?
What if Supri, Karyo, and Sukro
got eaten by a crocodile?
What if they got eaten by a tiger?
What if it's not even a real tiger?
Enough! Stop spitting nonsense.
They're probably
just pulling a prank on us.
Impossible.
Would they even go this far?
Who knows?
My ball is gone.
Who else dares to take it except them?
Kumala?
Kumala?
Come on.
What are you doing?
Do you want to play ball?
All right.
How will she kick it?
I know, right?
- Jon, what's wrong?
- Jon!
What's that she's holding?
Hey, who are you looking for?
Listen to me when I'm talking to you!
- Jono!
- How dare you!
I'll kill you!
Parto!
No!
Karyo!
- Son!
- Sukro!
Where are you, Son?
Sarno!
What is it?
- Over there.
- What's over there?
Go on, then.
Open it. Uncover it!
- God, forgive us!
- What is this?
Sukro!
Dear God, forgive us.
- Sukro!
- There, there.
Say your prayers.
What is this?
What is this?
Please help.
- What is this?
- What's wrong?
- Have a look.
- Is it blood?
There's a body.
Sir, help!
Help.
Sir!
Gosh, what is this?
What is this
- What's going on here?
- Out of the way.
Sir.
Sir!
At the field.
What? What is it?
Let's go.
Move. Move it, you. Move!
There he is!
Soedjiman!
Come out, Soedjiman!
What is this?
Hey, Sukir! Where is Soedjiman?
Where is he?!
- There he is.
- Hurry!
What is going on here?
You killed our sons!
Killed who?
Nonsense!
Where is the proof?
Soedjiman.
If it truly wasn't you,
then who else did it?
Was it your daughter?
This is the proof!
I found it in the forest.
- Right next to Sukro and Karyo's bodies!
- The young lady?
Just admit it!
This belongs to your daughter, right?
Admit it, Soedjiman!
She would never do such a thing.
You have a crazy daughter!
Yes, your daughter is crazy!
Hey.
Watch it.
Watch your mouth.
Now go home.
Go, all of you.
Back to your homes!
I shall take this matter up to the chief.
Don't just point fingers!
Go! Go back home!
- Go.
- Scatter, all of you!
That girl
She's in her room all day.
She's in the shed all night.
There's no way she could get out.
I need to make sure
that when Kumala
is locked here every night,
there is no way she can get out.
Lastri.
Kumala would never do this.
It wasn't Kumala.
It's Sumala.
Who is Suma
No!
Kumala mentioned that name, dear.
And I've seen it with my own eyes.
She looked exactly like Kumala.
But she's not crippled.
She moved oddly.
And she's always behind Kumala.
Then why didn't you tell me?
Why tell me now?
You should have raised her.
Not kill her!
This is all your fault!
Everything is a mess!
Kumala.
I want to ask you.
Was it Sumala
who killed those boys?
Was it?
I won't get mad.
I promise.
Yes.
Sumala.
I told her not to.
But she wanted to kill
everyone who was mean to me.
Sukir!
Sukir!
Yes, Sir?
Shackle Kumala.
Shackle?
Yes.
Right now.
Yes, Sir.
Dear.
Where are you going, dear?
I have to go.
It's time to ask for Mr. Kusno's help.
But he's so far away. I'll come with you.
No. You should stay here.
Watch your daughter.
Dear.
I'm scared.
Don't be afraid.
Sukir is here.
Kumala.
How did this happen, my dear?
Aunt.
Tomorrow is my birthday.
- I'll be ten.
- Yes.
I remember.
But I haven't made you a present.
What do you want?
I want you to leave right now.
Right now. Go far, far away.
Okay? Far away.
What do you mean?
I don't want any harm to come to you.
Okay? You should go. Now.
If I leave,
who's going to take care of you, my dear?
Thank you, Aunt.
For always being kind to me.
I love you so much.
My dear.
I love you so much, Kumala.
May God bless you with strength, my dear.
Take care, sweetheart.
Mother?
Where are you going?
We have to leave this house.
Leave?
But why?
I'll tell you later.
Let's go.
Come.
Here. Eat up.
It's not good.
You little
How can you not like good food?
What do you like?
That?
What are you eating?
Whatever. You'll get a stomachache later.
Yes, this is good.
It's savory.
Crazy girl.
To the ruler of everything
There is a soul without feeling
Which makes the body and soul
Unstable
What is it?
What did your wife do?
She made a deal with the Devil
just so she could get pregnant.
She carried twins.
A pretty girl, human.
And an ugly girl, the Devil's child.
You were supposed to raise both of them
until they were ten years old.
After that,
the ugly girl would be taken by the Devil.
And the rest of you would live happily.
Instead, you chose to kill her.
The Devil is furious.
Then what should I do?
Later at midnight,
it will be dangerous.
Kumala will turn ten years old.
She will be
completely possessed by Sumala.
Day will be just like night.
There is no difference.
Is there a way
that is possible
for my daughter to be saved?
We need to get
Sumala out of Kumala's body.
If not,
Kumala will forever be
Sumala, the Devil's child.
Use my keris if she fights back.
It can weaken her.
Bring her here. I shall prepare a ritual
to get Sumala out of Kumala.
But if it's too late,
you must stab her.
Right in her heart.
We cannot let
a Devil's child live in this world.
Sukir
Crazy girl.
Hey, what are you doing there?
How did you get out of your shackles?
Oh, you're pretending to cry?
You're playing games with me?
Crazy girl.
No. No!
No!
Please.
Please don't.
Shut it!
I'm going to slit your throat.
I'll do it slowly, okay?
So it hurts even more.
Forgive me, kid.
Kumala.
Kumala who?
Dear.
Dear.
Mom.
Let's play.
Let's play and chop some meat.
You whore.
Whore, whore. The Devil's wife!
You're a whore! A whore! The Devil's wife!
Kumala, no.
One more leg. Okay, Mom?
Why are you shaking your head?
Does it hurt?
It hurt too, when I was stabbed.
I'm sorry.
You didn't take care
of your daughter properly.
I wanted to raise you, dear.
Your father killed you. Not me!
Then why didn't you treat Kumala well?
Everything I did,
I did it to protect Kumala.
To protect Kumala,
or yourself?
I understand.
I was wrong.
Can I please talk to Kumala?
- Mom?
- Kumala.
Mom.
Mom.
Mom.
Please forgive me, dear.
I failed
to be a good mother to you.
I am so sorry, my dear.
I forgive you, Mom.
But I don't.
Lastri.
Lastri!
Lastri!
Lastri
Lastri!
This is my fault.
This is my fault!
Please forgive me, darling.
Dad.
Help me, Dad.
Dad, did you forget about me?
Becoming a cripple again, Dad?
JRAGUNG VILLAGE
Mr. Soedjiman?
- What is it, Sir?
- What's wrong?
My wife
died.
Indeed, to Allah we belong
and to Him we shall return.
How come?
Oh, God, forgive us!
Who would do such a thing?
- Sukir!
- God, forgive us!
All right then. Gentlemen!
Check the area.
You, and you, with me.
- Let's go.
- Yes!
Oh, God.
Oh, dear God.
What happened here?
Kuma
Kumala.
Kumala did all of this?
No. Not Kumala!
But
We must find her.
We must find Kumala!
Find her!
Then it is true.
Kumala was the one who killed our sons!
- No!
- That's right!
- Not her!
- Let's go get her!
Let's get her!
No! Sir
It wasn't Kumala.
It's not Kumala! Not her.
It wasn't Kumala!
Kumala!
Keep looking until we find her!
Kumala!
Kumala!
Kumala.
I am so sorry.
For everything I did wrong.
Come with me.
I'll take you to Mr. Kusno to heal you.
Crippled.
You were humiliated.
Then you were healed,
and you were perfect.
But then your daughter is crippled!
If you hated the way
your parents treated
you horribly back then,
you shouldn't have treated
your daughter the same way.
If you longed
for your parents' love back then,
your daughter longed for it too.
There is nothing
perfect in this world, Dad.
Yes, cry your heart out, Dad.
It's okay.
Cry.
Since I possessed Kumala's body,
my teeth have turned into fangs,
my eyes turned white,
and my heart
is no longer here.
But over here.
Any luck, Sir?
We couldn't find Kumala.
- And Mr. Soedjiman?
- We can't find him.
Oh, no.
The corn field. Let's go!
- Let's go!
- To the corn field!
- Sabdo.
- Sabdo!
What is it?
- Sabdo.
- That's
What is it, Sabdo?
Look.
- Oh, dear God.
- God, forgive us.
Mr. Soedjiman!
Indeed, to Allah we belong
and to Him we shall return.
- What happened?
- Grandpa Kusno died.
- How?
- I don't know. Maybe he's sick?
It's horrible.
- Oh, God.
- What is it?
Grandpa Kusno.
Nobody could ever tame Kumala
once she was possessed by Sumala.
