[Raja] From that day forward,
I realized
that I only had one desire.
I wanted to be with you.
[light music fades]
[smooches]
[smooches]
Your hands smell like tobacco.
I like it.

That means my father

[crowd clamors]
CELEBRATION OF THE NEW PACKAGING
OF KRETEK PROKLAMASI
This makes it obvious
that they're losing in sales.
We can't just sit here and watch, Dad.
Uh
Miss Yah is right, sir.
Well, I don't believe we should spend
money renting an airplane
to fly above town and printing flyers
like this one.
Don't we have enough loyal customers?
It looks like Mr. Djagad
will do whatever it takes
so that Kretek Proklamasi
out performs Kretek Merdeka.
- Like he holds a grudge, sir.
- [chuckles]
Yeah, he does hold a grudge against me.
It's true.
He's always wanted something that I have,
but then he couldn't have.
[Idroes] That's it, it's over.
Throw away all these flyers!
Get back to work!
- [worker 1] All right, sir.
- [worker 2] Okay, let's go, guys!
[workers clamoring]
[gentle music playing]
I made an attempt at another recipe.
This one is very different
from the one I'd given you.
Jeng
you really are talented.
[Mr. Dibjo] Left and right.
- Put it up front.
- Okay, sir.
[Mr. Dibjo] Hey, you.
Don't forget the left and right.
[worker 3] Okay.
Mr. Dibjo.
[Raja] What's going on, sir?
To prevent my cigarettes
from smelling like a woman.
[Mr. Dibjo] Or they'll taste sour.
- Left and right.
- [worker 4] Yes, sir!
[Raja] I know
you want to prove something to the world.
- [Mr. Dibjo] Left and right!
- [worker 5] Yes, sir!
[Raja] And I'd like to be a part of it.
- [gambler 1] Let's go in.
- [gambler 2] Hey, put it here!
[Agus] I'm glad Mr. Janto
introduced you to us, Mr. Raja.
MERAH KRETEK CIGARETTE
It has only been two months
but we've already got new members
and we're making more money.
I'm glad to hear that.
For the next two months, can you
provide us with twice as much tobacco?
Yeah, of course, I'll see to it.
Okay, man. Thank you.
Look, Raja.
What if you become a member
of our political party?
We're looking for young men like you.
It's time for a change
to make things better.
But you really should join our party
right away Raja
if you want to take part
in these crucial improvements.
I'm thankful for the offer.
I am, but
I still have to work with Mr. Idroes.
- I understand.
- [chuckles softly]
However, whenever you are ready,
please contact me.
[Agus] Here.
Check it out first.
That's perfect.
[Raja] I will deliver
the next batch to the base
as soon as I can.
Okay, man, thank you.
[ominous music playing]
How much, sir?
[Raja] Good morning!
- How are you, miss?
- [woman] Fine, sir, thank you.
- Good morning, Mr. Djoko, Mr. Yadi.
- [Mr. Djoko] Good morning, Raja!
- Hi, how are you, ma'am?
- [Marem] I'm well, thanks.
[light music playing]
ESSENTIAL OIL DISTILLATION
CAN BE DONE IN 3 WAYS
- Mr. Idroes.
- Hey, Raja.
Please check the sales, sir.
[Raja] What do you think, sir?
- [Idroes] Is this last month's sales?
- [Raja] Yes.
ESSENTIAL OIL DISTILLATION
CAN BE DONE IN 3 WAYS
IF YOU STILL NEED ANYTHING ELSE,
PLEASE LET ME KNOW
Good morning.
I'm fine, thank you.
- [woman 2] Good morning, Mr. Raja.
- Morning. Good morning. Are you all right?
[woman 2] All right.
I've made a new kretek for you.
Drink this first.
So that when you taste it
you can really feel its flavor.
There are some spicy herbs that
that really transport me back
to Yu Marem's kitchen, you know
when she prepares the Wedang drink.
Nutmeg.
Yeah. Nutmeg.
The clove tastes different.
Yesterday, I took some of Mr. Dibjo's
sandalwood incense,
and then I decided to use it
to burn all of the cloves.
[chuckles]
- You did that?
- Mm-hmm.
[Raja chuckles]
What else, Raja?
[scoffs]
The fragrance is light.
But it has a strong taste.
I know this fragrance very well.
Rose, isn't it?
That's right.
[chuckles]
Mr. Idroes should know
that his daughter is the most
extraordinary flavor maker on the market.
This kretek is just for us.
I get what you're saying
but if we show it to my father,
then I also want to tell him
the truth about
our relationship.
Jeng, I'm not yet worthy
to face your father.
First, I want to have my own business
so that Mr. Idroes may be convinced
that I'm capable
of taking care of his daughter.
But you are worthy, Raja.
[gentle music playing]
We don't have much time either,
as you know.
[gentle music continues playing]
[Lebas] Wait here.
- [Arum] What is it?
- [Lebas] Nothing. Nothing.
It's just weird there's a house
in such a remote location.
And it's cold out here.
- You're not afraid to live here?
- [Arum] What do you mean?
[Lebas] I would be afraid.
Well, thank you for
driving me all the way home, Bas.
You're welcome.
- [lock clicks]
- [door opens]
What? What's this?
- How
- [Lebas] What is it, Rum?
I can't believe it.
My roof tile moved again.
- [Lebas] What?
- [Arum] The roof tile. Wait.
[Lebas] Uh Arum.
Tomorrow morning
Hey, watch out!
Are you sure you don't need help?
I could definitely help you.
Fine. If you want to help, you can grab
a mop right there in the kitchen, Bas.
[Arum] And clean up the puddles inside.
Hurry up! What are you waiting for?
[quirky music playing]
Oh, I can do it, I promise.
L Let me do it.
This is how you do it.
You have to bring the water out.
Why do you do it like this?
- Well
- Like this. Get the water out.
You've never mopped a floor?
Are you serious?
[Lebas] Mmm
- I'm surprised.
- About?
Turns out you're a doctor and a chef.
- Have you finished it? Have you?
- I have.
Were you hungry after all that mopping?
- [chuckles]
- Mopping forward, not backward.
[both clearing throat]
Has your mother eaten yet?
- Yeah, she already had dinner.
- Mm.
My mother is following a course
of treatment.
So, she has to take medicine every day.
In the evening, she has to eat
and take her medication.
After that, she sleeps like a log.
Up until the next morning.
So, she won't hear us talking
if we stay out here.
- Really?
- Mm.
- Even if someone screamed?
- Mm.
Hey, stop!
[chuckles] I'm joking.
- You're an idiot.
- [laughs]
- Don't worry, I was just kidding.
- Mm.
Hey,
what's your mother's job?
How did she manage
to get you into medical school?
Mm
she was working many jobs.
Back in the day and for a long time,
she used to give sewing services at home.
Aah.
To earn a little extra money,
she sometimes worked in stores
or at the market.
She also bought batik in Solo
and sold it here.
She did that a lot actually.
She, uh, frequently helped our neighbor
sell different kinds of jewelry too.
I mean, she did so many things.
She would do what she could as long as
she was capable of doing it.
[Arum] That's why I always find ways
to help her.
To return the favor, you know.
[clears throat]
Do you want to continue
reading the letters?
[Arum] All right.
- Here goes.
- [clears throat]
[folk music playing]
[Raja] Time flies fast.
Before we knew it,
the new year was fast approaching.
All right, light it up. Like that.
Come on, let's do more.
[laughs]
Check this out.
Here, Pur.
[Raja] This one's for you. Pur!
That's great. Come on.
Come on, give it to me.
Okay, I'll go get another one.
I'll be right back.
It went out. Okay.
As soon as you become a wife, Dasiyah,
don't spend your time alone
too often like this.
[Roemaisa]
Your poor husband will be lonely.
Speaking of which,
Seno contacted me earlier.
He said that he filed a request
to be transferred to our city.
For you.
Which is wonderful because when
you and Seno are married, sweetheart,
you can visit me and your dad often.
That's good, Mom.
I'll go to the front yard with the others.
- [Rukayah] Thank you.
- [Raja] Peel it faster.
Hurry, Pur.
- [Rukayah giggles]
- There, it's my fourth one already.
[both giggling]
- Look, it's faster like this.
- I know.
Here, roast it.
Oh See, Raja can finish it a lot quicker.
- It's not what it looks like.
- You should be more patient.
[car approaches]
[car door opens]
Hi, Seno.
Dasiyah.
Why why are you here?
- [Raja] Let me join.
- Please.
- [gambler 1] Have a seat.
- [gambler 2] Come sit here.
- [gambler 3] Please, Mr. Raja.
- Who's winning?
- [gambler 1] I'm winning.
- [gambler 3] Let's start over.
Let's play another game.
- [gambler 1] Right!
- [card dealer] Okay.
[gambler 2] Let's go.
- [Roemaisa] Hi! How are you, Seno?
- [Seno] Ma'am.
- When did you arrive in town?
- I just arrived.
[Idroes] Why didn't you say you'd come?
[Seno] I was unexpectedly assigned
to M City so that's why I came over.
I've actually brought a gift for you.
I stopped by at Solo
and their batik is really beautiful.
It will
be really pretty if you wear this.
I, uh
can't accept the gift you brought me.
Why not?
Because
I can't get married to you anymore.
[Dasiyah] I'm sorry.
What are you talking about?
How could I possibly
become your wife when I know
that my heart belongs
to someone else, Seno?
[Dasiyah] It's not fair to you either.
[somber music playing]
Well, um
[clears throat]
I'm not the kind of man
who'll force you or anyone
for that matter to marry me, Yah.
If you need my help one day,
don't hesitate to ask.
You can always count on me, Dasiyah,
I'll be there for you.
I have always always taught you
to be an honorable woman, Yah.
What you just did
will bring disgrace to our family!
[Idroes] What's wrong with you, Yah?
What's Seno lacking anyway?
What should I say to Mr. Tira now?
I'm
in love with someone else, Mother.
Father.
[tense music playing]
What is this? Huh?
I'm sorry, sir.
You too, ma'am.
[Raja] This is my fault.
I'm in love with Jeng Yah.
Dasiyah.
- [Idroes] You
- And I accept Raja's love, Mother.
[Dasiyah] Father.
If you give us permission,
I'd like to get engaged to Raja shortly.
[scoffs]
If you both give us your blessing, sir.
I can't believe my ears.
Please, Lord, have mercy.
What should we do? It's a nightmare!
God
Dasiyah.
Go to your room.
Raja.
Get out of my house.
[intense music continues playing]
Now!
[Raja] We've only recently found
each other,
but we've been separated by circumstances.
I know that I'm not worthy of you now.
- But
- [fireworks exploding]
I won't stop trying.
Hoping that one day
we can be reunited again.
[lock clicks]
[Arum] Here.
So, tonight
- you can sleep here.
- [switch clicks]
This is actually my aunt's room.
Jeng Yah.
So, here's new sheets for you
and a blanket as well.
Okay, thank you.
But are you sure
you don't mind if I sleep here?
Well, no, I don't mind at all.
Should I?
Want to leave?
You believe this blanket and sheets
may cause you to get lumps,
rashes, or allergies?
- That's not at all what I meant.
- It's not?
I was kidding.
Have a good night. Tomorrow morning,
we'll chat with my mom.
- You're not scared?
- Of course, not.
Okay.
[Lebas] Good night.
[clears throat]
[lizard screeches]
[gasping]
Rum! Rum! Rum, are you still there, Rum?
Arum!
- What's wrong? You're so loud!
- [lizard screeches]
[lizard screeches]
[quirky music playing]
Here.
[door closes]
[switch clicks]
[exhales deeply]
[phone rings]
[Lebas] Hello, Mom.
Why are you still awake?
It's midnight already.
Old people like me get less sleep, Bas.
I thought it was much later than that.
Yeah, but it doesn't matter.
You still need to rest, okay?
Are you all right?
I'm doing fine.
It's your father
you should be worried about.
[sighs deeply]
Mom.
Have you been happy lately?
[chuckles softly] Of course, sweetie.
I have amazing children.
I also have good daughters-in-law.
You're the only one
who hasn't given me one, though.
[Lebas] Oh, come on, stop it, Mom.
[chuckles]
That was merely a joke, Bas.
So, I'm calling you because
I need all of you
to come back home for the time being.
[Raja's wife] You're father's sick.
We need you.
All right, as soon I get back to Jakarta,
I'll go straight home, okay?
I still have one more task
Dad gave me to finish up.
It won't take long, Mom.
Whatever it is that he asked you to do,
whatever the task
all I'm asking is that
you refrain from bringing it home, okay?
Sometimes,
there are certain things
that should be left in the past.
[Raja's wife]
They don't need to be brought up again.
[Raja] After I left Mr. Idroes' house,
I went to the only place
that would take me in.
- [man] We need to hire more workers.
- [Agus] Yeah.
- Sir.
- [Agus] Hi, there.
- Mr. Mul.
- [Mr. Mul] What's up?
- Here, Mul.
- What is it?
This is the last batch of cigarettes
that have been packed.
We can get it delivered.
Ever since you came here,
our factory business
has been running well.
[chuckles]
I'm only here to help around a bit.
Ah.
[Agus] Raja.
Why don't you start working
full-time at our factory?
I'd love that, of course.
It's just
That's not what I want right now.
I'm going to check the sales
at the market.
- Sounds good.
- Okay.
Excuse me.
- Be careful now.
- I will.
[reporter over radio] To all listeners,
six Generals and one officer
from the Indonesian National Armed Forces,
were found dead in Lubang, Buaya
and have been named
as Revolutionary Heroes
by the Indonesian Republic government.
Authorities strongly suspect
there was a rebellion movement
that was carried out by a political party
in Indonesia.
[men chattering]
May I talk to you for a second?
How's your new place?
It's okay, I guess, sir.
No place is as good or comfortable
as your factory.
I wanted to apologize, sir.
For causing such turmoil in your family.
[Raja] I will be eternally
grateful to you, Mr. Idroes.
However, I can't
lie to you.
And more specifically to myself.
I really am in love with Dasiyah, sir.
My feelings are pure.
To tell you the truth,
I never expected
that Dasiyah could ever fall in love.
I only want
what is best for Dasiyah.
I know I have to learn how to let her go.
I may never get the chance to be with her.
[Raja] But there is something
you should know.
Your daughter
is remarkably talented.
Try this, sir, please.
[sniffs]
Your daughter
is an incredibly skilled flavor maker.
[dramatic music building]
- My daughter made this flavor?
- [Raja] Yes, sir.
Jeng Yah is very special indeed.
[uplifting music playing]
Jeng Yah.
My God, Raja?
I had a conversation with Mr. Idroes.
He's really fond of your kretek's flavor.
You really talked to my father?
He also approved our relationship, Jeng.
[sighs]
[chuckles]
Listen up everyone, listen up, please.
Ladies and gentlemen,
may I have your undivided attention.
Tonight, I'm deeply honored to announce
that Idroes Moeria's Kretek Factory
launches a new product.
It's named Kretek Gadis.
Once you inhale it,
you'll feel as if your dream woman
would emerge in front of you!
[Idroes] Check it out for yourself, folks.
Taste it!
GADIS KRETEK CIGARETTE
IDRIS MOERIA KRETEK FACTORY
[whirring]
- [actress 1] Ouch.
- [actress 2] What's wrong, Grandma?
[actress 1] My head hurts
[crowds laughing]
- [actress 1] I can't eat this.
- [actress 2] What's wrong with you?
- Sir.
- Hmm.
- Your cigarettes.
- [actress 2] Why are you always thinking
about food? You'll start to look
like a barrel, not like a girl.
Put on some makeup too
- Thank you, sir.
- Yeah, go, go.
[actress 1] What for?
Who am I supposed to attract?
[crowd laughs]
- [actor] Excuse me.
- [crowd laughing]
[sensual music playing on movie]
- Mom.
- Mm?
- I'll go buy a snack. See you later.
- Mm.
Good evening, Seno.
Well, there's no need for small talk.
What do you mean by that?
You should be aware
of your current position.
You're mistaken if you actually believe
someone like you
can marry a woman like Dasiyah.
Dasiyah chose me, deal with it.
But I don't believe Dasiyah
has the slightest idea
of who you really are.
- [actress 3] That guy is pretty handsome.
- [actress 4] Right.
- [actress 3] Do you know who he is?
- [kid actor] Maybe.
[chuckles]
A seasonal laborer.
You're a Dutch colonizer's puppet
who's been arrested
for fighting multiple times, Raja.
Why would you go to such lengths
to learn about my past?
As you know, I'm an officer.
As such, it is my duty to ensure
that everyone I care about is safe.
[scoffs]
I thought you'd be smart enough
to understand
that wearing a uniform doesn't make you
suitable for Dasiyah.
[Raja] She made her choice.
Dasiyah, your daughter.
- [actress 1] What's wrong?
- [kid actor] Get Grandma's glasses.
She has her mother's talent.
[actor] If I'm 20 years younger
She knows what I am fond of.
[actor laughs]
Roses.
There are many things
you aren't aware of, man.
You should be very careful
with the people you've done business with.
Because if not,
Dasiyah will deal with the consequences.
Don't worry too much.
I'll make sure to care for Dasiyah.
Well, I'm gonna keep my eyes on you, man.
And if you ever dare to hurt Dasiyah,
I will show you who you are dealing with.
Trust me.
[eerie music playing]
WELCOME TO THE LAUNCHING
OF GADIS KRETEK CIGARETTE
Where have you been for so long?
I was looking for you.
I'm here now.
Are you hungry?
Let's get something.
[machine whirring]
Yesterday, my label
was supposed to be completed, correct?
How could this happen?
Do I have to handle it myself?
- [Djagad] Is that what you're saying?
- It's my fault. I'm sorry, sir.
I simply didn't anticipate Mr. Idroes'
order to be such a big one.
Sir, I had to finish those labels first.
- As Mr. Idroes ordered them first.
- Hey!
Do you prefer to pick me or Mr. Idroes?
Huh?
[clears throat] Mr. Janto. Mr. Djagad.
Uh
- Mr. Janto.
- Yeah?
Could you make Mr. Djagad's order first?
Well, I appreciate it, sir.
Then could you come back here later
in the afternoon
or perhaps in the evening?
I'll be sure to tell my workers
to work overtime.
It's fine.
- Oh, one more thing.
- Yes?
- About my order?
- Oh, yes, right.
That order is ready, sir. Here.
[Mr. Janto] Here it is.
Excuse me, sir.
DASIYAH AND RAJA
WITH GREAT HONOR, WE HEREBY INVITE YOU
TO OUR RECEPTION NIGH
[Djagad] You have quite the strategy,
young man.
With that, you can defeat the son
of Kretek Boekit Klapa's owner.
You have a lot of guts.
Your dream must be much bigger.
- Right?
- [chuckles nervously]
I'm sorry. What are you talking about?
You don't have to act all innocent.
Ever since you started working
with Idroes,
his kretek business has grown.
[Djagad] Wouldn't you say?
You made Kretek Gadis too, right?
And now you are determined
to marry his daughter, Dasiyah.
How clever.
[laughing sarcastically]
- [laughing continues]
- I think you are
[laughs]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You think I'm too straightforward, eh?
[chuckles]
In my opinion,
you are to proceed
with the utmost caution, kid.
You're remarkably talented.
Don't squander your abilities
on someone like Idroes.
Idroes, you know, is quite narrow-minded.
Similar to a little fish
in a very small pond.
[laughs]
If you work for me on the other hand
I guarantee that I can pay you three times
as much as Idroes does.
No matter the amount.
There must be a lot of people
who want to work with you, Mr. Djagad.
So are you rejecting my offer?
[Djagad] Yes?
Pardon me.
[chortles]
I was just joking!
[chortling continues]
Mr. Djagad, this is for you.
Your labels, first half.
The rest will be finished in an hour.
I will arrange for it to be delivered
directly to your factory.
- All right.
- [Mr. Janto] Okay, thank you.
Please, think about my offer.
Oh, right.
Here it is.
- This one is a very important order, sir.
- Oh.
[chuckles]
May your marriage last.
- Congratulations. Sure.
- Thank you, sir.
- See you later.
- Hold on now. Wait a minute!
Here. It's from Mr. Mulyadi and Mr. Agus.
- [Raja] Oh.
- [Mr. Janto] They're giving away
the remainder of their kretek.
KRETEK MERAH
Such a shame that they had to close down.
Kretek Merah sold well in the market.
You know, it failed
as their party was disbanded.
They could have weathered the storm.
After all,
their party provided the funding.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
- Thanks, Mr. Janto.
- You're welcome.
- See you later.
- Okay, see you.
MR. JANTO PRINTING
[reporter] The government
of the Republic of Indonesia
issued an order on March 11th
dissolving and prohibiting the Red party
and it's connected organizations
as well as those who take shelter,
give them refuge
- and those who carry out their activities
- Hold on, it's my turn.
within the Republic
of Indonesia's territories.
This pulled issue is a response
- to the death of high-ranking officers
- [Raja] Here, this is for you, sir.
- on September 30th of last year
- [man] You always have to cheat.
- at Lubang, Buaya.
- [Raja] I'm giving this out.
- Thanks a lot.
- No problem at all.
[gambler] Let's share it.
Why are there so many people missing?
I haven't heard
from Mr. Kandar in a while.
Mr. Kandar or the puppeteer?
The puppeteer and Mr. Kandar,
are the same guy.
His family members have traveled far
and unaware of the situation.
So now their house is vacant.
Strange, I wonder what's going on.
- Do you have any idea?
- How could I?
I was clueless
about what's going on as you are.
Lighter.
- Here. Yeah.
- Thank you, sir.
- Uh, Mr. Idroes.
- Mm.
Mr. Janto hasn't finished our labels yet.
Later this afternoon, I'll go get them.
Okay. Well, then how about you join us?
With pleasure.
Our wedding invitation.
Look at you, you should smile more often.
- Rukayah, stop it.
- [both laughing]
- It's Rukayah's favorite.
- Mm-hmm.
[Marem] Excuse me.
[Idroes] What do we have here?
Is this a new teapot?
We were giving out lighters
or bicycles for cigarette freebies
and now teapots and cup sets.
- Here, Rukayah.
- Wow, it's pretty.
- Yes, pretty.
- Now, I'm confident
that every wife will give
their husbands permission
to buy Kretek Gadis as much as they want
until they complete the set.
Wow.
[laughs]
I like this.
You couldn't have been more right, Raja.
My daughter has
really extraordinary ideas, very advanced.
[Roemaisa] Mm, you're right to praise her.
But it's so pretty, it's really good.
Look.
[chuckles]
[knocking on door]
- Come in.
- [door opens]
[light music playing]
Should I get you something
from the market?
[Dasiyah] You don't need to.
Off you go then.
It'll be dark soon.
[Raja chuckles]
Yeah.
Dear.
Yes?
I love you so much.
And I love you just as much.
- Okay, come on, just go now.
- [Raja] Okay.
Wait, Rukayah said she wanted
to buy something from
the market I think.
- I'm going to ask her.
- Okay.
DR. ARUM CENGKEH
MONDAY TO FRIDAY BY APPOINTMEN
[clicks tongue]
[sighs]
[phone rings]
[sighs]
- What?
- [Tegar] Bas?
You're coming to the shareholder
meeting tomorrow, right?
No, I can't come tomorrow.
I still have a couple of things
to do here.
[Tegar] Are you crazy?
So, you think meeting with that old woman
- is more important than our company?
- [chuckles]
Is that it?
[Lebas] Well
it's pointless to explain
to you right now.
You won't understand.
But someday you'll understand.
I'll explain it all to you.
[Tegar] Come on, Bas, Bas, Bas!
You usually don't attend meetings
and I never say anything, right?
But this is the only meeting
I've asked you to attend
because it's important
and you're still not showing up.
If you don't come,
you're being irresponsible once again!
Whatever!
- [busy tone]
- [phone beeps]
[whispers]
You're a jerk!
[sighs]
[inhales deeply]
[lighter clicks]
[morose music playing]
- [old Rukayah] Raja!
- [Rukayah] Raja!
[giggles]
Could you buy me some ginger candy?
Of course, I'll buy you a lot.
[chuckles softly]
Hello, ma'am. I'm sorry if I woke you up.
- I'm
- Hi, Raja.
Did you bring me my ginger candy?
[suspenseful music playing]
[suspenseful music playing]
Mr. Janto?
Mr. Janto?
[Raja] That night was unlike any other.
Something strange happened when I left.
Did you, Raja?
[old Rukayah] Where were you, Raja?
They took my sister away
but she didn't do anything wrong!
- What happened?
- [loud banging, thudding]
[Dasiyah] Where are you taking my father?
They were also looking for you, Raja!
Where were you, Raja?
You were supposed to come back sooner!
- [machine beeping continuously]
- [grunts]
[Raja] When I got back home
it was too late.
[loud clanking]
[tense music playing]
[soldier 1] Take him!
[Dasiyah] Dad! Dad!
- Please, Dad!
- Honey, please don't!
- Mom? Come inside.
- [Lebas] Ma'am
- Dad, what's going on?
- Hold on, let me go!
My Dad!
- [soldier 2] Get back now!
- Let him No!
- [Rukayah] Yeah, come on!
- [Dasiyah] You can't take him.
- Leave him alone!
- [soldier 2] Get back now!
[Dasiyah] Dad!
- No, Daddy! Don't shoot him!
- [Idroes] Let her go!
Jeng Yah.
- You can't take him! Leave him alone!
- [Idroes] Let her go!
Please, Dad!
- [music intensifies]
- [machine beeping intensifies]
- [thuds]
- Dad!
[screams, cries]
[loud thudding]
[Raja] I witnessed people's lives
ruined in one night.
[wails]
Dad
[cries]
[Dasiyah] Dad!
[Arum] Mom, Mom, calm down.
Mom, calm down!
- Mom. Mom!
- Ma'am.
Mom!
No, Dad!
- [soldier 1] Take him!
- Dad!
[soldier 1] Move!
Dad Dad!
[sobs]
Dad, please!
- [soldier 2 grunts]
- [Dasiyah] Dad!
Dad!
Dad!
[sobbing continues]
[grunts]
- Dad, please
- [Raja] Jeng Yah!
- My God, Raja!
- [soldier 1] Stop!
[gun cocks]
- [Raja] Jeng Yah!
- [gunshot fires]
[closing theme music]
[thunder rumbles]
[light music playing]
[Raja] From that day forward,
I realized
that I only had one desire.
I wanted to be with you.
[light music fades]
[smooches]
[smooches]
Your hands smell like tobacco.
I like it.
[gentle music playing]
[thunder rumbling]
That means my father
And my aunt were

CELEBRATION OF THE NEW PACKAGING
OF KRETEK PROKLAMASI
This makes it obvious
that they're losing in sales.
We can't just sit here and watch, Dad.
Uh
Miss Yah is right, sir.
Well, I don't believe we should spend
money renting an airplane
to fly above town and printing flyers
like this one.
Don't we have enough loyal customers?
It looks like Mr. Djagad
will do whatever it takes
so that Kretek Proklamasi
out performs Kretek Merdeka.
- Like he holds a grudge, sir.
- [chuckles]
Yeah, he does hold a grudge against me.
It's true.
He's always wanted something that I have,
but then he couldn't have.
[Idroes] That's it, it's over.
Throw away all these flyers!
Get back to work!
- [worker 1] All right, sir.
- [worker 2] Okay, let's go, guys!
[workers clamoring]
[gentle music playing]
I made an attempt at another recipe.
This one is very different
from the one I'd given you.
Jeng
you really are talented.
[Mr. Dibjo] Left and right.
- Put it up front.
- Okay, sir.
[Mr. Dibjo] Hey, you.
Don't forget the left and right.
[worker 3] Okay.
Mr. Dibjo.
[Raja] What's going on, sir?
To prevent my cigarettes
from smelling like a woman.
[Mr. Dibjo] Or they'll taste sour.
- Left and right.
- [worker 4] Yes, sir!
[Raja] I know
you want to prove something to the world.
- [Mr. Dibjo] Left and right!
- [worker 5] Yes, sir!
[Raja] And I'd like to be a part of it.
- [gambler 1] Let's go in.
- [gambler 2] Hey, put it here!
[Agus] I'm glad Mr. Janto
introduced you to us, Mr. Raja.
MERAH KRETEK CIGARETTE
It has only been two months
but we've already got new members
and we're making more money.
I'm glad to hear that.
For the next two months, can you
provide us with twice as much tobacco?
Yeah, of course, I'll see to it.
Okay, man. Thank you.
Look, Raja.
What if you become a member
of our political party?
We're looking for young men like you.
It's time for a change
to make things better.
But you really should join our party
right away Raja
if you want to take part
in these crucial improvements.
I'm thankful for the offer.
I am, but
I still have to work with Mr. Idroes.
- I understand.
- [chuckles softly]
However, whenever you are ready,
please contact me.
[Agus] Here.
Check it out first.
That's perfect.
[Raja] I will deliver
the next batch to the base
as soon as I can.
Okay, man, thank you.
[ominous music playing]
How much, sir?
[Raja] Good morning!
- How are you, miss?
- [woman] Fine, sir, thank you.
- Good morning, Mr. Djoko, Mr. Yadi.
- [Mr. Djoko] Good morning, Raja!
- Hi, how are you, ma'am?
- [Marem] I'm well, thanks.

ESSENTIAL OIL DISTILLATION
CAN BE DONE IN 3 WAYS
- Mr. Idroes.
- Hey, Raja.
Please check the sales, sir.
[Raja] What do you think, sir?
- [Idroes] Is this last month's sales?
- [Raja] Yes.
ESSENTIAL OIL DISTILLATION
CAN BE DONE IN 3 WAYS
IF YOU STILL NEED ANYTHING ELSE,
PLEASE LET ME KNOW
Good morning.
I'm fine, thank you.
- [woman 2] Good morning, Mr. Raja.
- Morning. Good morning. Are you all right?
[woman 2] All right.
I've made a new kretek for you.
Drink this first.
So that when you taste it
you can really feel its flavor.
There are some spicy herbs that
that really transport me back
to Yu Marem's kitchen, you know
when she prepares the Wedang drink.
Nutmeg.
Yeah. Nutmeg.
The clove tastes different.
Yesterday, I took some of Mr. Dibjo's
sandalwood incense,
and then I decided to use it
to burn all of the cloves.
[chuckles]
- You did that?
- Mm-hmm.
[Raja chuckles]
What else, Raja?
[scoffs]
The fragrance is light.
But it has a strong taste.
I know this fragrance very well.
Rose, isn't it?
That's right.
[chuckles]
Mr. Idroes should know
that his daughter is the most
extraordinary flavor maker on the market.
This kretek is just for us.
I get what you're saying
but if we show it to my father,
then I also want to tell him
the truth about
our relationship.
Jeng, I'm not yet worthy
to face your father.
First, I want to have my own business
so that Mr. Idroes may be convinced
that I'm capable
of taking care of his daughter.
But you are worthy, Raja.
[gentle music playing]
We don't have much time either,
as you know.
[gentle music continues playing]
[Lebas] Wait here.
- [Arum] What is it?
- [Lebas] Nothing. Nothing.
It's just weird there's a house
in such a remote location.
And it's cold out here.
- You're not afraid to live here?
- [Arum] What do you mean?
[Lebas] I would be afraid.
Well, thank you for
driving me all the way home, Bas.
You're welcome.
- [lock clicks]
- [door opens]
What? What's this?
- How
- [Lebas] What is it, Rum?
I can't believe it.
My roof tile moved again.
- [Lebas] What?
- [Arum] The roof tile. Wait.
[Lebas] Uh Arum.
Tomorrow morning
Hey, watch out!
Are you sure you don't need help?
I could definitely help you.
Fine. If you want to help, you can grab
a mop right there in the kitchen, Bas.
[Arum] And clean up the puddles inside.
Hurry up! What are you waiting for?
[quirky music playing]
Oh, I can do it, I promise.
L Let me do it.
This is how you do it.
You have to bring the water out.
Why do you do it like this?
- Well
- Like this. Get the water out.
You've never mopped a floor?
Are you serious?
[Lebas] Mmm
- I'm surprised.
- About?
Turns out you're a doctor and a chef.
- Have you finished it? Have you?
- I have.
Were you hungry after all that mopping?
- [chuckles]
- Mopping forward, not backward.
[both clearing throat]
Has your mother eaten yet?
- Yeah, she already had dinner.
- Mm.
My mother is following a course
of treatment.
So, she has to take medicine every day.
In the evening, she has to eat
and take her medication.
After that, she sleeps like a log.
Up until the next morning.
So, she won't hear us talking
if we stay out here.
- Really?
- Mm.
- Even if someone screamed?
- Mm.
Hey, stop!
[chuckles] I'm joking.
- You're an idiot.
- [laughs]
- Don't worry, I was just kidding.
- Mm.
Hey,
what's your mother's job?
How did she manage
to get you into medical school?
Mm
she was working many jobs.
Back in the day and for a long time,
she used to give sewing services at home.
Aah.
To earn a little extra money,
she sometimes worked in stores
or at the market.
She also bought batik in Solo
and sold it here.
She did that a lot actually.
She, uh, frequently helped our neighbor
sell different kinds of jewelry too.
I mean, she did so many things.
She would do what she could as long as
she was capable of doing it.
[Arum] That's why I always find ways
to help her.
To return the favor, you know.
[clears throat]
Do you want to continue
reading the letters?
[Arum] All right.
- Here goes.
- [clears throat]
[folk music playing]
[Raja] Time flies fast.
Before we knew it,
the new year was fast approaching.
All right, light it up. Like that.
Come on, let's do more.
[laughs]
Check this out.
Here, Pur.
[Raja] This one's for you. Pur!
That's great. Come on.
Come on, give it to me.
Okay, I'll go get another one.
I'll be right back.
It went out. Okay.
As soon as you become a wife, Dasiyah,
don't spend your time alone
too often like this.
[Roemaisa]
Your poor husband will be lonely.
Speaking of which,
Seno contacted me earlier.
He said that he filed a request
to be transferred to our city.
For you.
Which is wonderful because when
you and Seno are married, sweetheart,
you can visit me and your dad often.
That's good, Mom.
I'll go to the front yard with the others.
- [Rukayah] Thank you.
- [Raja] Peel it faster.
Hurry, Pur.
- [Rukayah giggles]
- There, it's my fourth one already.
[both giggling]
- Look, it's faster like this.
- I know.
Here, roast it.
Oh See, Raja can finish it a lot quicker.
- It's not what it looks like.
- You should be more patient.
[car approaches]
[car door opens]
Hi, Seno.
Dasiyah.
Why why are you here?
- [Raja] Let me join.
- Please.
- [gambler 1] Have a seat.
- [gambler 2] Come sit here.
- [gambler 3] Please, Mr. Raja.
- Who's winning?
- [gambler 1] I'm winning.
- [gambler 3] Let's start over.
Let's play another game.
- [gambler 1] Right!
- [card dealer] Okay.
[gambler 2] Let's go.
- [Roemaisa] Hi! How are you, Seno?
- [Seno] Ma'am.
- When did you arrive in town?
- I just arrived.
[Idroes] Why didn't you say you'd come?
[Seno] I was unexpectedly assigned
to M City so that's why I came over.
I've actually brought a gift for you.
I stopped by at Solo
and their batik is really beautiful.
It will
be really pretty if you wear this.
I, uh
can't accept the gift you brought me.
Why not?
Because
I can't get married to you anymore.
[Dasiyah] I'm sorry.
What are you talking about?
How could I possibly
become your wife when I know
that my heart belongs
to someone else, Seno?
[Dasiyah] It's not fair to you either.
[somber music playing]
Well, um
[clears throat]
I'm not the kind of man
who'll force you or anyone
for that matter to marry me, Yah.
If you need my help one day,
don't hesitate to ask.
You can always count on me, Dasiyah,
I'll be there for you.
I have always always taught you
to be an honorable woman, Yah.
What you just did
will bring disgrace to our family!
[Idroes] What's wrong with you, Yah?
What's Seno lacking anyway?
What should I say to Mr. Tira now?
I'm
in love with someone else, Mother.
Father.
[tense music playing]
What is this? Huh?
I'm sorry, sir.
You too, ma'am.
[Raja] This is my fault.
I'm in love with Jeng Yah.
Dasiyah.
- [Idroes] You
- And I accept Raja's love, Mother.
[Dasiyah] Father.
If you give us permission,
I'd like to get engaged to Raja shortly.
[scoffs]
If you both give us your blessing, sir.
I can't believe my ears.
Please, Lord, have mercy.
What should we do? It's a nightmare!
God
Dasiyah.
Go to your room.
Raja.
Get out of my house.
[intense music continues playing]
Now!
[Raja] We've only recently found
each other,
but we've been separated by circumstances.
I know that I'm not worthy of you now.
- But
- [fireworks exploding]
I won't stop trying.
Hoping that one day
we can be reunited again.
[lock clicks]
[Arum] Here.
So, tonight
- you can sleep here.
- [switch clicks]
This is actually my aunt's room.
Jeng Yah.
So, here's new sheets for you
and a blanket as well.
Okay, thank you.
But are you sure
you don't mind if I sleep here?
Well, no, I don't mind at all.
Should I?
Want to leave?
You believe this blanket and sheets
may cause you to get lumps,
rashes, or allergies?
- That's not at all what I meant.
- It's not?
I was kidding.
Have a good night. Tomorrow morning,
we'll chat with my mom.
- You're not scared?
- Of course, not.
Okay.
[Lebas] Good night.
[clears throat]
[lizard screeches]
[gasping]
Rum! Rum! Rum, are you still there, Rum?
Arum!
- What's wrong? You're so loud!
- [lizard screeches]
[lizard screeches]
[quirky music playing]
Here.
[door closes]
[switch clicks]
[exhales deeply]
[phone rings]
[Lebas] Hello, Mom.
Why are you still awake?
It's midnight already.
Old people like me get less sleep, Bas.
I thought it was much later than that.
Yeah, but it doesn't matter.
You still need to rest, okay?
Are you all right?
I'm doing fine.
It's your father
you should be worried about.
[sighs deeply]
Mom.
Have you been happy lately?
[chuckles softly] Of course, sweetie.
I have amazing children.
I also have good daughters-in-law.
You're the only one
who hasn't given me one, though.
[Lebas] Oh, come on, stop it, Mom.
[chuckles]
That was merely a joke, Bas.
So, I'm calling you because
I need all of you
to come back home for the time being.
[Raja's wife] You're father's sick.
We need you.
All right, as soon I get back to Jakarta,
I'll go straight home, okay?
I still have one more task
Dad gave me to finish up.
It won't take long, Mom.
Whatever it is that he asked you to do,
whatever the task
all I'm asking is that
you refrain from bringing it home, okay?
Sometimes,
there are certain things
that should be left in the past.
[Raja's wife]
They don't need to be brought up again.
[Raja] After I left Mr. Idroes' house,
I went to the only place
that would take me in.
- [man] We need to hire more workers.
- [Agus] Yeah.
- Sir.
- [Agus] Hi, there.
- Mr. Mul.
- [Mr. Mul] What's up?
- Here, Mul.
- What is it?
This is the last batch of cigarettes
that have been packed.
We can get it delivered.
Ever since you came here,
our factory business
has been running well.
[chuckles]
I'm only here to help around a bit.
Ah.
[Agus] Raja.
Why don't you start working
full-time at our factory?
I'd love that, of course.
It's just
That's not what I want right now.
I'm going to check the sales
at the market.
- Sounds good.
- Okay.
Excuse me.
- Be careful now.
- I will.
[reporter over radio] To all listeners,
six Generals and one officer
from the Indonesian National Armed Forces,
were found dead in Lubang, Buaya
and have been named
as Revolutionary Heroes
by the Indonesian Republic government.
Authorities strongly suspect
there was a rebellion movement
that was carried out by a political party
in Indonesia.
[men chattering]
May I talk to you for a second?
How's your new place?
It's okay, I guess, sir.
No place is as good or comfortable
as your factory.
I wanted to apologize, sir.
For causing such turmoil in your family.
[Raja] I will be eternally
grateful to you, Mr. Idroes.
However, I can't
lie to you.
And more specifically to myself.
I really am in love with Dasiyah, sir.
My feelings are pure.
To tell you the truth,
I never expected
that Dasiyah could ever fall in love.
I only want
what is best for Dasiyah.
I know I have to learn how to let her go.
I may never get the chance to be with her.
[Raja] But there is something
you should know.
Your daughter
is remarkably talented.
Try this, sir, please.
[sniffs]
Your daughter
is an incredibly skilled flavor maker.
[dramatic music building]
- My daughter made this flavor?
- [Raja] Yes, sir.
Jeng Yah is very special indeed.
[uplifting music playing]
Jeng Yah.
My God, Raja?
I had a conversation with Mr. Idroes.
He's really fond of your kretek's flavor.
You really talked to my father?
He also approved our relationship, Jeng.
[sighs]
[chuckles]
Listen up everyone, listen up, please.
Ladies and gentlemen,
may I have your undivided attention.
Tonight, I'm deeply honored to announce
that Idroes Moeria's Kretek Factory
launches a new product.
It's named Kretek Gadis.
Once you inhale it,
you'll feel as if your dream woman
would emerge in front of you!
[Idroes] Check it out for yourself, folks.
Taste it!

- [actress 2] What's wrong, Grandma?
[actress 1] My head hurts
[crowds laughing]
- [actress 1] I can't eat this.
- [actress 2] What's wrong with you?
- Sir.
- Hmm.
- Your cigarettes.
- [actress 2] Why are you always thinking
about food? You'll start to look
like a barrel, not like a girl.
Put on some makeup too
- Thank you, sir.
- Yeah, go, go.
[actress 1] What for?
Who am I supposed to attract?
[crowd laughs]
- [actor] Excuse me.
- [crowd laughing]
[sensual music playing on movie]
- Mom.
- Mm?
- I'll go buy a snack. See you later.
- Mm.
Good evening, Seno.
Well, there's no need for small talk.
What do you mean by that?
You should be aware
of your current position.
You're mistaken if you actually believe
someone like you
can marry a woman like Dasiyah.
Dasiyah chose me, deal with it.
But I don't believe Dasiyah
has the slightest idea
of who you really are.
- [actress 3] That guy is pretty handsome.
- [actress 4] Right.
- [actress 3] Do you know who he is?
- [kid actor] Maybe.
[chuckles]
A seasonal laborer.
You're a Dutch colonizer's puppet
who's been arrested
for fighting multiple times, Raja.
Why would you go to such lengths
to learn about my past?
As you know, I'm an officer.
As such, it is my duty to ensure
that everyone I care about is safe.
[scoffs]
I thought you'd be smart enough
to understand
that wearing a uniform doesn't make you
suitable for Dasiyah.
[Raja] She made her choice.
Dasiyah, your daughter.
- [actress 1] What's wrong?
- [kid actor] Get Grandma's glasses.
She has her mother's talent.
[actor] If I'm 20 years younger
She knows what I am fond of.
[actor laughs]
Roses.
There are many things
you aren't aware of, man.
You should be very careful
with the people you've done business with.
Because if not,
Dasiyah will deal with the consequences.
Don't worry too much.
I'll make sure to care for Dasiyah.
Well, I'm gonna keep my eyes on you, man.
And if you ever dare to hurt Dasiyah,
I will show you who you are dealing with.
Trust me.
[eerie music playing]
WELCOME TO THE LAUNCHING
OF GADIS KRETEK CIGARETTE
Where have you been for so long?
I was looking for you.
I'm here now.
Are you hungry?
Let's get something.
[machine whirring]
Yesterday, my label
was supposed to be completed, correct?
How could this happen?
Do I have to handle it myself?
- [Djagad] Is that what you're saying?
- It's my fault. I'm sorry, sir.
I simply didn't anticipate Mr. Idroes'
order to be such a big one.
Sir, I had to finish those labels first.
- As Mr. Idroes ordered them first.
- Hey!
Do you prefer to pick me or Mr. Idroes?
Huh?
[clears throat] Mr. Janto. Mr. Djagad.
Uh
- Mr. Janto.
- Yeah?
Could you make Mr. Djagad's order first?
Well, I appreciate it, sir.
Then could you come back here later
in the afternoon
or perhaps in the evening?
I'll be sure to tell my workers
to work overtime.
It's fine.
- Oh, one more thing.
- Yes?
- About my order?
- Oh, yes, right.
That order is ready, sir. Here.
[Mr. Janto] Here it is.
Excuse me, sir.
DASIYAH AND RAJA
WITH GREAT HONOR, WE HEREBY INVITE YOU
TO OUR RECEPTION NIGH
[Djagad] You have quite the strategy,
young man.
With that, you can defeat the son
of Kretek Boekit Klapa's owner.
You have a lot of guts.
Your dream must be much bigger.
- Right?
- [chuckles nervously]
I'm sorry. What are you talking about?
You don't have to act all innocent.
Ever since you started working
with Idroes,
his kretek business has grown.
[Djagad] Wouldn't you say?
You made Kretek Gadis too, right?
And now you are determined
to marry his daughter, Dasiyah.
How clever.
[laughing sarcastically]
- [laughing continues]
- I think you are
[laughs]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You think I'm too straightforward, eh?
[chuckles]
In my opinion,
you are to proceed
with the utmost caution, kid.
You're remarkably talented.
Don't squander your abilities
on someone like Idroes.
Idroes, you know, is quite narrow-minded.
Similar to a little fish
in a very small pond.
[laughs]
If you work for me on the other hand
I guarantee that I can pay you three times
as much as Idroes does.
No matter the amount.
There must be a lot of people
who want to work with you, Mr. Djagad.
So are you rejecting my offer?
[Djagad] Yes?
Pardon me.
[chortles]
I was just joking!
[chortling continues]
Mr. Djagad, this is for you.
Your labels, first half.
The rest will be finished in an hour.
I will arrange for it to be delivered
directly to your factory.
- All right.
- [Mr. Janto] Okay, thank you.
Please, think about my offer.
Oh, right.
Here it is.
- This one is a very important order, sir.
- Oh.
[chuckles]
May your marriage last.
- Congratulations. Sure.
- Thank you, sir.
- See you later.
- Hold on now. Wait a minute!
Here. It's from Mr. Mulyadi and Mr. Agus.
- [Raja] Oh.
- [Mr. Janto] They're giving away
the remainder of their kretek.
KRETEK MERAH
Such a shame that they had to close down.
Kretek Merah sold well in the market.
You know, it failed
as their party was disbanded.
They could have weathered the storm.
After all,
their party provided the funding.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
- Thanks, Mr. Janto.
- You're welcome.
- See you later.
- Okay, see you.

dissolving and prohibiting the Red party
and it's connected organizations
as well as those who take shelter,
give them refuge
- and those who carry out their activities
- Hold on, it's my turn.
within the Republic
of Indonesia's territories.
This pulled issue is a response
- to the death of high-ranking officers
- [Raja] Here, this is for you, sir.
- on September 30th of last year
- [man] You always have to cheat.
- at Lubang, Buaya.
- [Raja] I'm giving this out.
- Thanks a lot.
- No problem at all.
[gambler] Let's share it.
Why are there so many people missing?
I haven't heard
from Mr. Kandar in a while.
Mr. Kandar or the puppeteer?
The puppeteer and Mr. Kandar,
are the same guy.
His family members have traveled far
and unaware of the situation.
So now their house is vacant.
Strange, I wonder what's going on.
- Do you have any idea?
- How could I?
I was clueless
about what's going on as you are.
Lighter.
- Here. Yeah.
- Thank you, sir.
- Uh, Mr. Idroes.
- Mm.
Mr. Janto hasn't finished our labels yet.
Later this afternoon, I'll go get them.
Okay. Well, then how about you join us?
With pleasure.
Our wedding invitation.
Look at you, you should smile more often.
- Rukayah, stop it.
- [both laughing]
- It's Rukayah's favorite.
- Mm-hmm.
[Marem] Excuse me.
[Idroes] What do we have here?
Is this a new teapot?
We were giving out lighters
or bicycles for cigarette freebies
and now teapots and cup sets.
- Here, Rukayah.
- Wow, it's pretty.
- Yes, pretty.
- Now, I'm confident
that every wife will give
their husbands permission
to buy Kretek Gadis as much as they want
until they complete the set.
Wow.
[laughs]
I like this.
You couldn't have been more right, Raja.
My daughter has
really extraordinary ideas, very advanced.
[Roemaisa] Mm, you're right to praise her.
But it's so pretty, it's really good.
Look.
[chuckles]
[knocking on door]
- Come in.
- [door opens]
[light music playing]
Should I get you something
from the market?
[Dasiyah] You don't need to.
Off you go then.
It'll be dark soon.
[Raja chuckles]
Yeah.
Dear.
Yes?
I love you so much.
And I love you just as much.
- Okay, come on, just go now.
- [Raja] Okay.
Wait, Rukayah said she wanted
to buy something from
the market I think.
- I'm going to ask her.
- Okay.

MONDAY TO FRIDAY BY APPOINTMEN
[clicks tongue]
[sighs]
[phone rings]
[sighs]
- What?
- [Tegar] Bas?
You're coming to the shareholder
meeting tomorrow, right?
No, I can't come tomorrow.
I still have a couple of things
to do here.
[Tegar] Are you crazy?
So, you think meeting with that old woman
- is more important than our company?
- [chuckles]
Is that it?
[Lebas] Well
it's pointless to explain
to you right now.
You won't understand.
But someday you'll understand.
I'll explain it all to you.
[Tegar] Come on, Bas, Bas, Bas!
You usually don't attend meetings
and I never say anything, right?
But this is the only meeting
I've asked you to attend
because it's important
and you're still not showing up.
If you don't come,
you're being irresponsible once again!
Whatever!
- [busy tone]
- [phone beeps]
[whispers]
You're a jerk!
[sighs]
[inhales deeply]
[lighter clicks]
[morose music playing]

Could you buy me some ginger candy?
Of course, I'll buy you a lot.

Something strange happened when I left.

They took my sister away
but she didn't do anything wrong!
- What happened?
