[Purwanti] Dear.

I'm Purwanti,
your wife.
I'm not going anywhere. I promise.
I'll always stay with you.
It's going to be okay.
- You had a nightmare. That's all.

CIGARETTE GIRL
[door opens]
[door closes]
[grunts softly]
[Lebas] Here, drink this.
Thank you, Bas.
[Lebas] You're welcome.
What did the doctor say?
That it's, uh,
one of the first signs of dementia.
[Lebas] I'm so sorry.
I feel like it's my fault.
Don't say that.
How could it be your fault?
[Arum] The signs have been there
for a long time.
But they're just getting worse by the day
and there's nothing we can do.
[paper rustling]
[door clanks]
I never imagined it to be what happened
to my mother's family
and my grandfather, you know?
And I'm not sure why my mother would keep
something like that hidden from me.
I'm very confused right now.
Why did she have to conceal information
about events involving my family?
I learned about it in school.
I'm aware of the massacres
that occurred in 1965.
I'm familiar with every detail
of what happened that year.
Even though I had no idea
my family had been harmed.
Well, maybe that's the reason
why my mother became
traumatized.
[solemn music playing]
Well, I mean, even to this day
there's still a lot of mysteries
around them, right?
Even for the people who were involved.
So it's only natural
that your mother
would have kept quiet about it.
It must be very hard
for so many years to
you know,
live in that past.
[solemn music continues playing]
Well, in spite of
everything that my mom
went through, Lebas,
she still raised me
to the best of her ability,
so that I would never ever
lack anything at all.
She's the best.
But now, after reading those letters,
I'm gradually unraveling
my family secrets, you know?
Well, of course, I never felt like
I was lacking anything growing up
because I didn't know anything
about her past.
But if I think about it,
I feel sorry
for my aunt's disappointing life.
She almost got married to your father.
But now I'm wondering
why my father ended up
marrying Purwanti instead?
Hold on.
I know that name.
Did you just say
Purwanti? Is that what you just said?
Your mom's Purwanti?
Lebas, are you serious?
Yeah.
My mom's best friend since childhood.
How come you didn't say anything?
What's wrong with you?
Well, I didn't think it was necessary
to mention Mom's name.
I thought you already knew that, Arum.
[Dr. Ratih] Excuse me, Dr. Arum.
Yes, Dr. Ratih?
I need you for a second.
[door opens]
[phone vibrates]
Yes, hello.
[Raja] Bas.
Dad, what's up?
[Raja] Bas.
Did you find her yet?
[Lebas] Not yet.
Dad.
Do you remember
when Jeng Yah was taken away?
I want to hear the full story.
Can you please tell me what happened?
[dramatic music playing]
[male officer 1] Mr. Idroes Moeria!
[Raja] A lot of things happened
M CITY, 1966
before I returned
to Mr. Idroes's residence.
[gate clanking]
[male officer 1] Where is Soeraja?
[loud clanking, rumbling]
[male officer 2] Soeraja!
Where are you taking my father?
My father didn't do anything wrong.
Idroes Moeria and Soeraja's names
are on the list, okay?
Soeraja is not on the list.
Just Idroes Moeria.
Sir.
[male officer 3] I found this, sir.
- Look for more.
- I'm on it.
Is this yours?
Yes or no?
[Raja] I only found out about this
years later.
[loud rattling]
That night
they were actually looking for me.
And it's all because of those Red Kreteks
that I have been working on.
[footsteps stomping]
- [male officer 1] Take him.
- [Dasiyah and Rukayah] Dad!
[male officer 1] Step back!
- [Rukayah] Please! Dad!
- Please don't!
- [Dasiyah] Dad! Let him go!
- [officers clamor]
[shouts]
[wailing]
- [Dasiyah] Dad!
- [male officer 1] Take him!
[women crying]
[Dasiyah] Dad!
[sobbing]
[Raja breathes heavily]
[Dasiyah cries] Dad!
[Raja] Jeng Yah!
- [Dasiyah] Oh, my God! Raja!
- [male soldier 2] Stop!
[gun clicks]
[gun fires]
Raja! Raja, get out of here!
[Dasiyah] Run away!
[groans]
[Raja groans]
[Dasiyah] Run away!
Run!
[Raja] At that moment,
I didn't understand what was happening.
Run! Raja, run!
[Raja] I just did
what Jeng Yah asked me to do.
I knew that
- [suspenseful music playing]
- [Raja grunts]
she asked me to save myself first
so that I could save her later.
[grunting]
[groaning]
Jeng Yah?
[solemn music playing]
Mr. Raja.
[faint rattling]
[Raja] Purwanti?
[Purwanti] I'm so glad
you're safe and sound.
Where am I?
Don't worry, you're okay.
We brought you to our home.
Wait, Raja.
Don't move around too much.
Mr. Djagad's house?
Mm-hmm.
Dasiyah?
Her family? Mr. Idroes?
We haven't heard anything from them.
I'm sorry, Raja.
Eat something first.
[dramatic music playing]
[Djagad] It's still too thick.
Look.
- Make them thinner. This part.
- [employee 1] All right, sir.
Idroes is no longer here.
[Djagad] And nobody knows
what happened to the rest of his family.
[glass clinks]
[cigarette rustling]
PROKLAMASI KRETEK CIGARETTE
[Djagad] It's not safe out there, Raja.
And honestly, if I were you,
I wouldn't take any risks at all.
I have to find Dasiyah, sir.
[Djagad] Raja.
[Raja groans]
[Raja breathes heavily]
Just please save your energy.
Come on. Hm?
You'll be a lot safer here. Hmm.
[solemn music playing]
[thunder rumbling]
[Raja] When I recovered my strength,
the only thing that I wanted was
to meet the Idroes family again.
But it turned out
that I was already too late.
Not many survived that tragic night.
[thunder rumbling]
Djagad was one
of the only ones who survived.
[rain rattling]
The only person I knew who did.
[Djagad] Raja, you must understand
that by hiding you here,
I'm putting my life in danger.
We are supposed to trust each other.
You should be glad you're still alive.
My offer remains the same.
Work for me, Raja.
That's not what I want.
I just want Dasiyah to be safe.
Do you believe it was simple
to remove your name from the list?
[thrilling music playing]
Create something
that can compete with this kretek.
GADIS KRETEK CIGARETTE
Can you promise me
that Dasiyah will be safe?
It all depends on you, Raja.
In fact, if you can pull that off,
who knows what can happen?
[cigarette crackles]
Can I start working now?
The faster, the better.
[uplifting music playing]
PROKLAMASI KRETEK CIGARETTE
[Raja groans]
SOEDJAGAD KRETEK FACTORY
How is it?
Not enough.
We need to add some more, Sir.
- I will add more?
- Yeah.
I'll leave then.
[male general 1] Thank you for coming.
- Please send my regards to your mother.
- [Djagad] I will.
If you receive any new information,
please let us know right away.
Okay. I will, sir.
- Indonesia is getting better.
- Definitely.
- Thank you so much, sir.
- [male general 1] All right. Take care.
[Djagad] Thank you.
[knocking on door]
Come in!
[door opens]
Raja!
I've been reviewing the financial reports
of the last few months.
It really improved a lot. [chuckles]
You did a very good job, Raja.
Is there anything that I can do?
Mr. Djagad,
I saw that you're close to that General.
Dasiyah, sir.
I'm going to say it once more.
If you don't want to wind up
like her father,
you should forget about that woman.
Sir, please.
I just want to know Dasiyah's whereabouts.
Please tell the General about this, sir.
Don't get me wrong,
I understand how you feel, Raja.
But this is not the way.
Trust me on that.
The cost of your request
is exceedingly high.
I have kept my word, haven't I?
The sales have increased.
Just like you wished.
[Djagad] But you haven't given me
what I asked you.
[lighter clicks]
Mr. Trisno and I have already given you
various flavor options.
But none of them rivals this one.
If I give you the flavor you want,
will you be able to promise me
to give me what I want?
If it means getting what I really want,
I would absolutely do anything
in my power.
What about you?
[tense music playing]
- [man] I already warned you.
- [gun clicks]
There are a lot of things you don't know.
[Raja] You don't have any business here.
And you don't have
any business here either.
This is my family's house.
If they truly are members of your family,
why haven't you tried to track them down
all this time, you bastard, huh?
I've been looking.
But no one knows their whereabouts.
No one
should know where they are.
Do I make myself clear?
You better give up.
And save your breath for later
when you're being questioned
at headquarters, huh?
[both grunting]
If you want Dasiyah to be happy,
this is not how you do it.
Hm?
Shouldn't a military man like you
know her whereabouts?
Hm?
[Raja] I thought so, yeah.
[grunts]
This is the only way
I'll be able to save Dasiyah.
Don't get involved.
[laughs]
This is it. This is it. Yeah.
The name of Djagad
will spread throughout Java.
Thanks to this fantastic kretek.
Mmm.
If you want that kretek, though
make me your business partner.
We'll split the profits equally.
I must maintain control
to preserve the flavor of the kretek.
Business partner?
Even if you don't become my partner,
you will still have enough money
to endure centuries, Raja.
Mm.
This factory is a family business.
And you're not family.
Anything else?
[solemn music playing]
[door creaks open]
- [Djagad chuckles]
- [door closes]
[soft classical music playing]
This doesn't have a label?
They're being careless!
[Raja] Thank you, Pur.
For taking care of me all this time.
I will always be there for you, Raja.
[Raja] Everybody makes mistakes, Bas.
Including your father.
At first, I thought
I would get a chance
to make amends for all my mistakes
before my children found out.
So that's the reason
why my father ended up marrying my mom
Purwanti.
Bas.
This is, uh
Well, what I'm trying to say is
that it's too
too much for me.
I can't deal with all of this right now.
It's just too sad.
I can't take it anymore.
Yeah.
I know that, Arum.
Well
Listen, Bas, I'm not sure
how to tell you this but I'll try.
It's hard to explain, but hear me out.
I understand your father acted like that
because he was madly in love with my aunt,
but I don't think he should have.
It wasn't the right thing to do.
That was just too much, Bas.
Yeah, I understand, Rum.
[Lebas] I completely understand.
I'm done.
I don't
I don't want to do this.
I can't help you anymore.
What do you mean?
I don't You know, I'm
How can I explain this?
It's hard. I feel like I just
I'm done. That's it. I'm done.
I can't do this anymore, Bas.
Okay.
Okay, no problem.
Thank you.
ROSE WARD
All right.
Uh
Rum.
Can I at least help you and your mother
until she gets discharged
from the hospital?
It's okay.
I have a lot of friends.
I can ask them
to help me take care of her.
Really, I'm gonna be fine.
Goodbye, then.
["Pergi Tanpa Pesan" playing]
[Lebas] Sir.
Could you give me and my father a minute?
Of course, sir. I'll go.
["Pergi Tanpa Pesan" continues playing]
Let me help you.
Do you need anything?
It's okay. I'm fine.
You should rest now.
What's wrong, Lebas?
Nothing.
It's nothing, Mom.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Aren't you the one who told me
not to bring "that" home with me?
["Pergi Tanpa Pesan" playing]
Hey, Mom.
Do you mind if I spend the night with you
before I go to the hospital?
[soft music playing]
[door closes]
Rum.
Hm?
Was that a dream that happened or not?
What are you talking about?
I think I saw a man.
He was smoking a cigarette
outside the house and I spoke with him.
The rest is hazy.
Is it your partner?
As you're aware, Mom, I'm not involved
in any romantic relationship.
He's just my friend if you must know.
But did you have a fight with him?
Why would we have a fight
if we're not together, Mom?
Please, that's enough now.
Let's just sleep, Mom.
Who knows? Maybe he could be good for you.
I said enough.
I just want to be with you,
just the two of us.
I don't want to think of anyone else.
I'm not looking for a boyfriend right now.
I remember
you're always telling me growing up,
that as long as the two of us
can still be together,
as long as we can live in the same house,
just like this,
my world is only with you, Mom.
It's just us two.
Now, let's rest up.
Rum.
I don't believe that, in our world,
it's just the two of us.
It's me and you and other people.
[Arum] Mom?
What is it, Mom?
[soft tense music playing]
What are you looking for?
Mom?
Wait, let me help you.
What are you looking for? Here.
Hold on. Let me help you. Hold on.
It's nothing, Arum.
What? A box? Your purse? Your wallet?
There it is.
It's on the table, your wallet.
Uh. A can.
[Arum] A can?
- Where do you usually keep it?
- A can.
[Arum] Wait.
The drawer
Let me check here. Wait, Mom. Wait.
[drawer rattles]
This, Mom?
My sister.
My sister.
Dasiyah.
[Rukayah] This is
Dasiyah.
- [doctor 1] Hey, Arum.
- [Arum] Hey.
- See you later.
- [Arum] Okay, take care.
- Yeah.
- [Arum] Have you eaten yet?
Yes, I have. Have a good shift.
You're so lucky to go home already.
[Dasiyah] I always felt
like I was a strong woman.
[solemn music playing]
But all of my assumptions disappeared
when the only place that made me feel safe
was torn apart.
And the first person
who embraced me as I am,
was no longer there.
My journey that night
was the longest I'd ever taken.
[door squeaks]
Dad never opened his eyes again.
And we had to go our separate ways
during our arrest.
My days in this place
are only filled with emptiness.
My dream, in which,
I'll reunite with you again someday
is the only thing that keeps me going.
[telephone rings]
[sighs]
Dr. Arum.
Okay. I'll be right there.
I'm coming.
From then on,
it appeared as if
your father felt compelled
to work even harder and more intensely.
[indistinct dialogue]
- [Ragil] Purwanti.
- Mr. Ragil.
M CITY
[Ragil] Congratulations
on your engagement to Raja.
- [Purwanti] Thank you, sir.
- [Ragil] Have fun. Bye.
[exciting music playing]
[Purwanti]
He was always working tirelessly.
He was very different
from the first time I saw him.
The carton contains 200 kreteks
but usually, we sell them in packs of 20.
Are you sure we can sell this?
Absolutely, sir.
'Cause it'll be cheaper
[Purwanti] And I had
my own reason for always supporting him.
[indistinct chattering]
TICKET BOOTH
- How about
- Let's just go home.
Doctor?
[nurse] Thank you, doctor.
[solemn music playing]
[Dasiyah] After two years in that prison
they took me away
with what remained
of my strength and soul.
[coughing]
[car leaving]
[woman crying]
- [woman whimpering]
- [soft tense music playing]
[coughs]
[dramatic music playing]
[Raja] Good evening, Yu Marem.
How are you?
I'm doing fine as you can see, Mr. Raja.
I see you're doing well for yourself.
And happy as well.
I'm sure
Miss Dasiyah is also delighted
to see you this happy, Mr. Raja.
Congratulations on all
of your achievements.
[Marem] Excuse me, miss.
You might have felt or thought
that your father has never been close
to any of his children.
But I also know for sure
that he loves all of you deep inside
and far more than he ever loved me too.
I understand what you're saying, Mom.
It's already late.
I want to rest now, okay?
Mom.
[dramatic music playing]
I love you and I'll always love you.
[beeps]
Mom.
- Sweetheart.
- Mom.
- Mom.
- Sweetheart.
[crying]
I'm so sorry, Mom.
It's not your fault, my love.
It was never your fault.
[footsteps approaching]
[knocking on door]
Uh
I'm glad you're okay.
Yesterday,
I heard that some of the prisoners
were going to be released.
And I was convinced
that Mr. Idroes's house
was the only location in your mind
that you would visit.
Thank you, Seno.
You don't need to worry, Dasiyah.
The most important thing
is that you're fine,
all things considered.
Okay, I'm going to go get ready.
I have to head back to my post now.
[Seno] I'll make sure to come back later.
Thank you, Seno.
Sure. Excuse me.
Ever since that night,
Seno never stopped looking for you,
sweetheart. Never.
If it wasn't for Seno,
well, me and Rukayah
we wouldn't have a place to stay.
But what happened to Raja?
Forget about him, Dasiyah.
[Roemaisa] You should forget
you ever knew him.
[breathes deeply]
We still have an opportunity
to rebuild our lives from scratch.
Let's not waste it.
[coughs]
Hmm
Sister, you were gone
for such a long time.
And it seems
that Raja has already moved on
and forgot about us.
Because Raja
is now about to get married to Purwanti.
[Rukayah crying]
You should eat something.
[Dasiyah] Turns out
freedom was nothing
like I imagined it to be.
I'm still having nightmares
over the horror
I went through in the prison.
WEDDING OF PURWANTI & SOERAJA
But more than that,
the fact that we still can't be together,
even after I've been released,
is what hurts me the most.
Yah.
[coughs]
You've been behaving like this,
sweetheart, for over two weeks now.
All I want for you is to be happy.
That is my sole wish for you.
I only want that.
[water splatters]
[Dasiyah] No matter how hard I tried
I can't get you out of my head.
[soft music playing]
I need to make good on a commitment.
I have a feeling that I need to confirm.
Danu, I thought we agreed
to market our kreteks in Jakarta.
- What's the problem?
- [Danu] We agreed, you're right.
But the thing is, Kretek Satria has made
their move faster than we anticipated.
And I think it's very risky
to local kretek companies like ours
Danu, don't ever refer to Djagad Raja
as a local kretek company again.
[Raja] It's time for us to become
the country's leading kretek manufacturer.
And it all begins in Jakarta.
Understood?
[Danu] Yes, sir.
Now, find out who's Kretek Satria's
tobacco supplier.
[Raja] We'll meet them.
Very well, sir.
Let me know as soon as possible.
[Danu] Yes, sir.
[soft tense music playing]
[Djagad] You've come a long way!
You're not afraid to compete
with big companies like Kretek Satria.
[Djagad laughs]
The time we met, I remember thinking
you were quite the scaredy cat, Raja.
Well, I hope you also still remember
what you had promised me, Mr. Djagad.
Don't forget that I am solely responsible
for your achievement, Raja.
So you have to keep in mind,
I can take it all back in a flash
whenever I feel like it.
[suspenseful music playing]
- Mr. Raja.
- [Raja] Hi.
- Congratulations on your marriage.
- Thanks.
[male general 1] I heard a lot
of good things about you from Mr. Djagad.
It's unfortunate
that we're only now meeting.
- It's an honor to meet you, General.
- [male general 1] Likewise.
Pardon me, General.
Do you recall if Mr. Djagad
ever mentioned to you the name Dasiyah?
Dasiyah?
No, I don't think so.
[tense music playing]
[exhales shakily]
Jeng Yah?
[soft music playing]
Jeng Yah.
[Raja] Jeng Yah, please stop.
I understand you're angry,
but I can explain it all now!
I did all this for you! Believe it or not.
For every second,
I wish there were other ways!
But this was the only way
I can make sure that you'll be safe!
Please understand!
I swear I didn't do all of this
because I stopped loving you, Dasiyah!
["Kala Sang Surya Tenggelam" playing]
Well, if that's true,
if you really still love me, Raja,
will you be able to leave
all of this behind?
Will you risk starting again from scratch
with me right now?
Will you dare?
["Kala Sang Surya Tenggelam"
continues playing]
Dasiyah.
[Dasiyah sobbing]
[male doctor] Dr. Arum.
Yes?
[male doctor] Let me go
to the bathroom first.
You still need to unpack your stuff.
- Right?
- [Arum] Mm.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
[Arum] Bas.
Did I wake you?
Arum?
Mm-hmm.
Where are you right now, Lebas?
[Lebas] Uh, I'm at home in Jakarta.
Did something happen?
No, nothing, I'm fine. Nothing happened.
Come on, Arum. Why did you call me?
Tell me what happened.
I found
I found this photo, Bas.
Photo? A photo of what?
- I I'll come to you.
- Bas, come on.

[breathing heavily]
- Enough, Yah.
- Please. No! Don't. Please, Dad!
- Please!
- Let go, Yah!
[shouts]
[woman shouts]
[male officer 1] Take him.
Oh my God, Raja!
[male soldier] Stop!
- [gun clicks]
- [woman screams]
[Dasiyah] Raja!
- [gun fires]
- [gasps]
[crying]
I'm sorry. Please forgive me, Jeng Yah.
[Purwanti] Dear.
Raja.
I'm Purwanti,
your wife.
I'm not going anywhere. I promise.
I'll always stay with you.
It's going to be okay.
- You had a nightmare. That's all.
- [Raja coughs]
Hm?

CIGARETTE GIRL
[door opens]
[door closes]
[grunts softly]
[Lebas] Here, drink this.
Thank you, Bas.
[Lebas] You're welcome.
What did the doctor say?
That it's, uh,
one of the first signs of dementia.
[Lebas] I'm so sorry.
I feel like it's my fault.
Don't say that.
How could it be your fault?
[Arum] The signs have been there
for a long time.
But they're just getting worse by the day
and there's nothing we can do.
[paper rustling]
[door clanks]
I never imagined it to be what happened
to my mother's family
and my grandfather, you know?
And I'm not sure why my mother would keep
something like that hidden from me.
I'm very confused right now.
Why did she have to conceal information
about events involving my family?
I learned about it in school.
I'm aware of the massacres
that occurred in 1965.
I'm familiar with every detail
of what happened that year.
Even though I had no idea
my family had been harmed.
Well, maybe that's the reason
why my mother became
traumatized.
[solemn music playing]
Well, I mean, even to this day
there's still a lot of mysteries
around them, right?
Even for the people who were involved.
So it's only natural
that your mother
would have kept quiet about it.
It must be very hard
for so many years to
you know,
live in that past.
[solemn music continues playing]
Well, in spite of
everything that my mom
went through, Lebas,
she still raised me
to the best of her ability,
so that I would never ever
lack anything at all.
She's the best.
But now, after reading those letters,
I'm gradually unraveling
my family secrets, you know?
Well, of course, I never felt like
I was lacking anything growing up
because I didn't know anything
about her past.
But if I think about it,
I feel sorry
for my aunt's disappointing life.
She almost got married to your father.
But now I'm wondering
why my father ended up
marrying Purwanti instead?
Hold on.
I know that name.
Did you just say
Purwanti? Is that what you just said?
Your mom's Purwanti?
Lebas, are you serious?
Yeah.
My mom's best friend since childhood.
How come you didn't say anything?
What's wrong with you?
Well, I didn't think it was necessary
to mention Mom's name.
I thought you already knew that, Arum.
[Dr. Ratih] Excuse me, Dr. Arum.
Yes, Dr. Ratih?
I need you for a second.
[door opens]
[phone vibrates]
Yes, hello.
[Raja] Bas.
Dad, what's up?
[Raja] Bas.
Did you find her yet?
[Lebas] Not yet.
Dad.
Do you remember
when Jeng Yah was taken away?
I want to hear the full story.
Can you please tell me what happened?
[dramatic music playing]
[male officer 1] Mr. Idroes Moeria!
[Raja] A lot of things happened
M CITY, 1966
before I returned
to Mr. Idroes's residence.
[gate clanking]
[male officer 1] Where is Soeraja?
[loud clanking, rumbling]
[male officer 2] Soeraja!
Where are you taking my father?
My father didn't do anything wrong.
Idroes Moeria and Soeraja's names
are on the list, okay?
Soeraja is not on the list.
Just Idroes Moeria.
Sir.
[male officer 3] I found this, sir.
- Look for more.
- I'm on it.
Is this yours?
Yes or no?
[Raja] I only found out about this
years later.
[loud rattling]
That night
they were actually looking for me.
And it's all because of those Red Kreteks
that I have been working on.
[footsteps stomping]
- [male officer 1] Take him.
- [Dasiyah and Rukayah] Dad!
[male officer 1] Step back!
- [Rukayah] Please! Dad!
- Please don't!
- [Dasiyah] Dad! Let him go!
- [officers clamor]
[shouts]
[wailing]
- [Dasiyah] Dad!
- [male officer 1] Take him!
[women crying]
[Dasiyah] Dad!
[sobbing]
[Raja breathes heavily]
[Dasiyah cries] Dad!
[Raja] Jeng Yah!
- [Dasiyah] Oh, my God! Raja!
- [male soldier 2] Stop!
[gun clicks]
[gun fires]
Raja! Raja, get out of here!
[Dasiyah] Run away!
[groans]
[Raja groans]
[Dasiyah] Run away!
Run!
[Raja] At that moment,
I didn't understand what was happening.
Run! Raja, run!
[Raja] I just did
what Jeng Yah asked me to do.
I knew that
- [suspenseful music playing]
- [Raja grunts]
she asked me to save myself first
so that I could save her later.
[grunting]
[groaning]
Jeng Yah?
[solemn music playing]
Mr. Raja.
[faint rattling]
[Raja] Purwanti?
[Purwanti] I'm so glad
you're safe and sound.
Where am I?
Don't worry, you're okay.
We brought you to our home.
Wait, Raja.
Don't move around too much.
Mr. Djagad's house?
Mm-hmm.
Dasiyah?
Her family? Mr. Idroes?
We haven't heard anything from them.
I'm sorry, Raja.
Eat something first.
[dramatic music playing]
[Djagad] It's still too thick.
Look.
- Make them thinner. This part.
- [employee 1] All right, sir.
Idroes is no longer here.
[Djagad] And nobody knows
what happened to the rest of his family.
[glass clinks]
[cigarette rustling]
PROKLAMASI KRETEK CIGARETTE
[Djagad] It's not safe out there, Raja.
And honestly, if I were you,
I wouldn't take any risks at all.
I have to find Dasiyah, sir.
[Djagad] Raja.
[Raja groans]
[Raja breathes heavily]
Just please save your energy.
Come on. Hm?
You'll be a lot safer here. Hmm.
[solemn music playing]
[thunder rumbling]
[Raja] When I recovered my strength,
the only thing that I wanted was
to meet the Idroes family again.
But it turned out
that I was already too late.
Not many survived that tragic night.
[thunder rumbling]
Djagad was one
of the only ones who survived.
[rain rattling]
The only person I knew who did.
[Djagad] Raja, you must understand
that by hiding you here,
I'm putting my life in danger.
We are supposed to trust each other.
You should be glad you're still alive.
My offer remains the same.
Work for me, Raja.
That's not what I want.
I just want Dasiyah to be safe.
Do you believe it was simple
to remove your name from the list?
[thrilling music playing]
Create something
that can compete with this kretek.
GADIS KRETEK CIGARETTE
Can you promise me
that Dasiyah will be safe?
It all depends on you, Raja.
In fact, if you can pull that off,
who knows what can happen?
[cigarette crackles]
Can I start working now?
The faster, the better.
[uplifting music playing]
PROKLAMASI KRETEK CIGARETTE
[Raja groans]
SOEDJAGAD KRETEK FACTORY
How is it?
Not enough.
We need to add some more, Sir.
- I will add more?
- Yeah.
I'll leave then.
[male general 1] Thank you for coming.
- Please send my regards to your mother.
- [Djagad] I will.
If you receive any new information,
please let us know right away.
Okay. I will, sir.
- Indonesia is getting better.
- Definitely.
- Thank you so much, sir.
- [male general 1] All right. Take care.
[Djagad] Thank you.
[knocking on door]
Come in!
[door opens]
Raja!
I've been reviewing the financial reports
of the last few months.
It really improved a lot. [chuckles]
You did a very good job, Raja.
Is there anything that I can do?
Mr. Djagad,
I saw that you're close to that General.
Dasiyah, sir.
I'm going to say it once more.
If you don't want to wind up
like her father,
you should forget about that woman.
Sir, please.
I just want to know Dasiyah's whereabouts.
Please tell the General about this, sir.
Don't get me wrong,
I understand how you feel, Raja.
But this is not the way.
Trust me on that.
The cost of your request
is exceedingly high.
I have kept my word, haven't I?
The sales have increased.
Just like you wished.
[Djagad] But you haven't given me
what I asked you.
[lighter clicks]
Mr. Trisno and I have already given you
various flavor options.
But none of them rivals this one.
If I give you the flavor you want,
will you be able to promise me
to give me what I want?
If it means getting what I really want,
I would absolutely do anything
in my power.
What about you?
[tense music playing]
- [man] I already warned you.
- [gun clicks]
There are a lot of things you don't know.
[Raja] You don't have any business here.
And you don't have
any business here either.
This is my family's house.
If they truly are members of your family,
why haven't you tried to track them down
all this time, you bastard, huh?
I've been looking.
But no one knows their whereabouts.
No one
should know where they are.
Do I make myself clear?
You better give up.
And save your breath for later
when you're being questioned
at headquarters, huh?
[both grunting]
If you want Dasiyah to be happy,
this is not how you do it.
Hm?
Shouldn't a military man like you
know her whereabouts?
Hm?
[Raja] I thought so, yeah.
[grunts]
This is the only way
I'll be able to save Dasiyah.
Don't get involved.
[laughs]
This is it. This is it. Yeah.
The name of Djagad
will spread throughout Java.
Thanks to this fantastic kretek.
Mmm.
If you want that kretek, though
make me your business partner.
We'll split the profits equally.
I must maintain control
to preserve the flavor of the kretek.
Business partner?
Even if you don't become my partner,
you will still have enough money
to endure centuries, Raja.
Mm.
This factory is a family business.
And you're not family.
Anything else?
[solemn music playing]
[door creaks open]
- [Djagad chuckles]
- [door closes]
[soft classical music playing]
This doesn't have a label?
They're being careless!
[Raja] Thank you, Pur.
For taking care of me all this time.
I will always be there for you, Raja.
[Raja] Everybody makes mistakes, Bas.
Including your father.
At first, I thought
I would get a chance
to make amends for all my mistakes
before my children found out.
So that's the reason
why my father ended up marrying my mom
Purwanti.
Bas.
This is, uh
Well, what I'm trying to say is
that it's too
too much for me.
I can't deal with all of this right now.
It's just too sad.
I can't take it anymore.
Yeah.
I know that, Arum.
Well
Listen, Bas, I'm not sure
how to tell you this but I'll try.
It's hard to explain, but hear me out.
I understand your father acted like that
because he was madly in love with my aunt,
but I don't think he should have.
It wasn't the right thing to do.
That was just too much, Bas.
Yeah, I understand, Rum.
[Lebas] I completely understand.
I'm done.
I don't
I don't want to do this.
I can't help you anymore.
What do you mean?
I don't You know, I'm
How can I explain this?
It's hard. I feel like I just
I'm done. That's it. I'm done.
I can't do this anymore, Bas.
Okay.
Okay, no problem.
Thank you.
ROSE WARD
All right.
Uh
Rum.
Can I at least help you and your mother
until she gets discharged
from the hospital?
It's okay.
I have a lot of friends.
I can ask them
to help me take care of her.
Really, I'm gonna be fine.
Goodbye, then.
["Pergi Tanpa Pesan" playing]
[Lebas] Sir.
Could you give me and my father a minute?
Of course, sir. I'll go.
["Pergi Tanpa Pesan" continues playing]
Let me help you.
Do you need anything?
It's okay. I'm fine.
You should rest now.
What's wrong, Lebas?
Nothing.
It's nothing, Mom.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Aren't you the one who told me
not to bring "that" home with me?
["Pergi Tanpa Pesan" playing]
Hey, Mom.
Do you mind if I spend the night with you
before I go to the hospital?
[soft music playing]
[door closes]
Rum.
Hm?
Was that a dream that happened or not?
What are you talking about?
I think I saw a man.
He was smoking a cigarette
outside the house and I spoke with him.
The rest is hazy.
Is it your partner?
As you're aware, Mom, I'm not involved
in any romantic relationship.
He's just my friend if you must know.
But did you have a fight with him?
Why would we have a fight
if we're not together, Mom?
Please, that's enough now.
Let's just sleep, Mom.
Who knows? Maybe he could be good for you.
I said enough.
I just want to be with you,
just the two of us.
I don't want to think of anyone else.
I'm not looking for a boyfriend right now.
I remember
you're always telling me growing up,
that as long as the two of us
can still be together,
as long as we can live in the same house,
just like this,
my world is only with you, Mom.
It's just us two.
Now, let's rest up.
Rum.
I don't believe that, in our world,
it's just the two of us.
It's me and you and other people.
[Arum] Mom?
What is it, Mom?
[soft tense music playing]
What are you looking for?
Mom?
Wait, let me help you.
What are you looking for? Here.
Hold on. Let me help you. Hold on.
It's nothing, Arum.
What? A box? Your purse? Your wallet?
There it is.
It's on the table, your wallet.
Uh. A can.
[Arum] A can?
- Where do you usually keep it?
- A can.
[Arum] Wait.
The drawer
Let me check here. Wait, Mom. Wait.
[drawer rattles]
This, Mom?
My sister.
My sister.
Dasiyah.
[Rukayah] This is
Dasiyah.
- [doctor 1] Hey, Arum.
- [Arum] Hey.
- See you later.
- [Arum] Okay, take care.
- Yeah.
- [Arum] Have you eaten yet?
Yes, I have. Have a good shift.
You're so lucky to go home already.
[Dasiyah] I always felt
like I was a strong woman.
[solemn music playing]
But all of my assumptions disappeared
when the only place that made me feel safe
was torn apart.
And the first person
who embraced me as I am,
was no longer there.
My journey that night
was the longest I'd ever taken.
[door squeaks]
Dad never opened his eyes again.
And we had to go our separate ways
during our arrest.
My days in this place
are only filled with emptiness.
My dream, in which,
I'll reunite with you again someday
is the only thing that keeps me going.
[telephone rings]
[sighs]
Dr. Arum.
Okay. I'll be right there.
I'm coming.
From then on,
it appeared as if
your father felt compelled
to work even harder and more intensely.
[indistinct dialogue]
- [Ragil] Purwanti.
- Mr. Ragil.
M CITY
[Ragil] Congratulations
on your engagement to Raja.
- [Purwanti] Thank you, sir.
- [Ragil] Have fun. Bye.
[exciting music playing]
[Purwanti]
He was always working tirelessly.
He was very different
from the first time I saw him.
The carton contains 200 kreteks
but usually, we sell them in packs of 20.
Are you sure we can sell this?
Absolutely, sir.
'Cause it'll be cheaper
[Purwanti] And I had
my own reason for always supporting him.
[indistinct chattering]
TICKET BOOTH
- How about
- Let's just go home.
Doctor?
[nurse] Thank you, doctor.
[solemn music playing]
[Dasiyah] After two years in that prison
they took me away
with what remained
of my strength and soul.
[coughing]
[car leaving]
[woman crying]
- [woman whimpering]
- [soft tense music playing]
[coughs]
[dramatic music playing]
[Raja] Good evening, Yu Marem.
How are you?
I'm doing fine as you can see, Mr. Raja.
I see you're doing well for yourself.
And happy as well.
I'm sure
Miss Dasiyah is also delighted
to see you this happy, Mr. Raja.
Congratulations on all
of your achievements.
[Marem] Excuse me, miss.
You might have felt or thought
that your father has never been close
to any of his children.
But I also know for sure
that he loves all of you deep inside
and far more than he ever loved me too.
I understand what you're saying, Mom.
It's already late.
I want to rest now, okay?
Mom.
[dramatic music playing]
I love you and I'll always love you.
[beeps]
Mom.
- Sweetheart.
- Mom.
- Mom.
- Sweetheart.
[crying]
I'm so sorry, Mom.
It's not your fault, my love.
It was never your fault.
[footsteps approaching]
[knocking on door]
Uh
I'm glad you're okay.
Yesterday,
I heard that some of the prisoners
were going to be released.
And I was convinced
that Mr. Idroes's house
was the only location in your mind
that you would visit.
Thank you, Seno.
You don't need to worry, Dasiyah.
The most important thing
is that you're fine,
all things considered.
Okay, I'm going to go get ready.
I have to head back to my post now.
[Seno] I'll make sure to come back later.
Thank you, Seno.
Sure. Excuse me.
Ever since that night,
Seno never stopped looking for you,
sweetheart. Never.
If it wasn't for Seno,
well, me and Rukayah
we wouldn't have a place to stay.
But what happened to Raja?
Forget about him, Dasiyah.
[Roemaisa] You should forget
you ever knew him.
[breathes deeply]
We still have an opportunity
to rebuild our lives from scratch.
Let's not waste it.
[coughs]
Hmm
Sister, you were gone
for such a long time.
And it seems
that Raja has already moved on
and forgot about us.
Because Raja
is now about to get married to Purwanti.
[Rukayah crying]
You should eat something.
[Dasiyah] Turns out
freedom was nothing
like I imagined it to be.
I'm still having nightmares
over the horror
I went through in the prison.
WEDDING OF PURWANTI & SOERAJA
But more than that,
the fact that we still can't be together,
even after I've been released,
is what hurts me the most.
Yah.
[coughs]
You've been behaving like this,
sweetheart, for over two weeks now.
All I want for you is to be happy.
That is my sole wish for you.
I only want that.
[water splatters]
[Dasiyah] No matter how hard I tried
I can't get you out of my head.
[soft music playing]
I need to make good on a commitment.
I have a feeling that I need to confirm.
Danu, I thought we agreed
to market our kreteks in Jakarta.
- What's the problem?
- [Danu] We agreed, you're right.
But the thing is, Kretek Satria has made
their move faster than we anticipated.
And I think it's very risky
to local kretek companies like ours
Danu, don't ever refer to Djagad Raja
as a local kretek company again.
[Raja] It's time for us to become
the country's leading kretek manufacturer.
And it all begins in Jakarta.
Understood?
[Danu] Yes, sir.
Now, find out who's Kretek Satria's
tobacco supplier.
[Raja] We'll meet them.
Very well, sir.
Let me know as soon as possible.
[Danu] Yes, sir.
[soft tense music playing]
[Djagad] You've come a long way!
You're not afraid to compete
with big companies like Kretek Satria.
[Djagad laughs]
The time we met, I remember thinking
you were quite the scaredy cat, Raja.
Well, I hope you also still remember
what you had promised me, Mr. Djagad.
Don't forget that I am solely responsible
for your achievement, Raja.
So you have to keep in mind,
I can take it all back in a flash
whenever I feel like it.
[suspenseful music playing]
- Mr. Raja.
- [Raja] Hi.
- Congratulations on your marriage.
- Thanks.
[male general 1] I heard a lot
of good things about you from Mr. Djagad.
It's unfortunate
that we're only now meeting.
- It's an honor to meet you, General.
- [male general 1] Likewise.
Pardon me, General.
Do you recall if Mr. Djagad
ever mentioned to you the name Dasiyah?
Dasiyah?
No, I don't think so.
[tense music playing]
[exhales shakily]
Jeng Yah?
[soft music playing]
Jeng Yah.
[Raja] Jeng Yah, please stop.
I understand you're angry,
but I can explain it all now!
I did all this for you! Believe it or not.
For every second,
I wish there were other ways!
But this was the only way
I can make sure that you'll be safe!
Please understand!
I swear I didn't do all of this
because I stopped loving you, Dasiyah!
["Kala Sang Surya Tenggelam" playing]
Well, if that's true,
if you really still love me, Raja,
will you be able to leave
all of this behind?
Will you risk starting again from scratch
with me right now?
Will you dare?
["Kala Sang Surya Tenggelam"
continues playing]
Dasiyah.
[Dasiyah sobbing]
[male doctor] Dr. Arum.
Yes?
[male doctor] Let me go
to the bathroom first.
You still need to unpack your stuff.
- Right?
- [Arum] Mm.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
[Arum] Bas.
Did I wake you?
Arum?
Mm-hmm.
Where are you right now, Lebas?
[Lebas] Uh, I'm at home in Jakarta.
Did something happen?
No, nothing, I'm fine. Nothing happened.
Come on, Arum. Why did you call me?
Tell me what happened.
I found
I found this photo, Bas.
Photo? A photo of what?
- I I'll come to you.
- Bas, come on.
