No! Rio is still alive.
-Pull yourself together. -Rio is still alive.
Calm down, Ma'am.
-Rio! -Rio!
This footage from Rana is a proof that Rio is still alive.
So we decided to go to Jogja and to Merapi immediately.
Your friend doesn't want to go home!
Rio!
Go away!
We want to climb Merapi, Sir.
Let me help you. How's that?
Only the two of you? No, you can't.
There should be five people. That's the condition.
Do you know the route to the forbidden forest?
Of course I know.
What was that?
This is kinda weird, it is absurd.
I dreamed of meeting Rio and he held my arm.
The weird thing is that when I woke up the next morning,
there was a bruise on my arm.
Right in the place where Rio held me.
Well...
Frankly speaking,
I was a bit skeptical before we decided to climb and search for Rio,
especially after I read this article.
It's written there that most of Jogja residents,
especially the people who live around Merapi,
they believe that Merapi is filled with mystical things.
Don't underestimate Merapi.
It won't welcome any guests at the moment.
In my opinion,
mystical things actually are something made up by humans.
The idea is to make them feel in control of the world.
I understand...
...there are some events or occasions in this world that occur...
...beyond human reasoning.
But linking every bit of events to mystical things...
only turns us into lazy and passive people.
Excuse me.
Merapi...
So we are searching for information about Merapi...
...through a flea market of books like this?
These are antiques.
Flea or antique, they are just the same.
That's enough, Bon.
Instead of complaining, you'd better help me searching for the information.
What's for? Just ask the shopkeeper.
What book are you looking for? I'll ask him.
-Sir! -Geez.
-Bon. -Sir!
Where is your manner? Why are you yelling?
It's because he looks like he doesn't care about his shop.
Quiet down. Just say, "Excuse me, Sir..."
Well... Do you want an explanation about Merapi?
I should close the shop by the sunset.
Yes, Sir.
Here, as you can see... Do you know what is this?
It's a mountain, Sir.
This is Merapi.
For some of us here, Merapi is a sacred place.
There's nothing different in our lives here.
There are soldiers, people, vehicles,
livestock and also farmlands.
The only difference is they are from an astral dimension.
The placement of spirits in Merapi...
...is based on a spiritual level.
At the very top of it, it is called the palace.
And it's intended for spiritual and positive energy.
Underneath of it,
it is intended for the spiritual with negative,
neutral or heavy energy glow.
Below that...
How about the form of spirit below that, Sir?
They are wandering spirits.
They wander on trees, stones, around the bridge,
and they disturb humans.
But there's a scientific explanation for this, right, Sir?
Let's say...
At one point in Merapi...
...perhaps there's an area that have energy or power...
...which is similar to Bermuda Triangle.
Yes, there is.
But your friend is no longer there.
Why are you saying that? How do you know about...
We never even mentioned anything about us looking for our missing friend.
And when I asked how does he know about that...
Instead of answering, he put his book about Merapi inside a plastic bag.
He asked Babon and I to pay for the book and go home.
Hey, Bon.
I watched some news about Merapi on YouTube.
Turns out that most of the climbers...
Can you listen to me first?
Yeah, I'm listening.
And because what you are about to say is important...
-Put that thing down. -Yeah, I'll put this down.
It's important, that's why I keep the camera on to record it.
Hold on. Alright.
What is it?
I watched it on YouTube.
Turns out, most of the missing climbers there...
...were found in an area called...
...Bubrah Market.
-Bubrah Market? -Yes.
Okay. Are we going there?
That's why I'm telling you to listen to me first.
I told you most of the missing climbers were found there.
What does that mean?
Not all the missing climbers are left to just disappear.
Do you know who is the most meritorious person...
...for finding these missing people?
Who is it?
The spiritual guardian.
How come? That's unfair.
Yesterday he refused to help us finding Rio.
But why did he help the others?
I'm questioning the same thing. "Why?"
Perhaps, Rio was kidnapped and placed in a cult that he made.
Okay, stop.
Whoa!
What happened to your arm?
It's nothing. It will heal on its own. Let's go.
Excuse me.
Hello.
Excuse me.
Miss...
Sorry, Sir.
Yesterday my father told me that he can't help you.
He can't help you.
May we know the reason, Miss?
It is not his will, it is Merapi's.
Okay, let's say this is what Merapi wants. But why did it have to be my friend?
That's enough. I can't explain more than this.
Because...
Hey.
Why do you still have the guts to come here...
...when you're already like this?
What do you mean, Miss?
You guys are decent people.
I don't want you to be harmed.
If you believe that we're decent people,
at least explain to us the reason why your father won't help us.
Okay. I'll help you to talk to him.
Please mind your manners.
Okay.
Does it have something to do with the bruise on his arm?
But I have one condition.
Turn off your camera.
-Bon. -Wait a moment.
She asked us to turn off the camera at first,
but I insisted to keep recording.
It's because I was the only one who could get inside that time.
Only one of you could come and meet him.
Bon, wait here for a moment.
Please get in.
Once I met the spiritual guardian,
he gave me a Kantil flower.
Kantil flower is known for keeping the bad spirits away.
But I don't know...
...why would the spiritual guardian wanted to help us this time,
considering he told us to go away last night.
Keep that flower.
I know it's disrespectful to peep on someone's room.
But what else I could do.
I was really curious...
...whether Rio was kidnapped by the spiritual guardian or not.
What did you see when you were there?
Shit!
Go away!
Why did he give me this kind of flower?
Bon.
Where have you been? Hey.
What's wrong with you, Bon? You look so pale.
-Nope. -What?
It's nothing, I'll tell you later.
Bon. Hold this.
Is she following us?
Why is she singing?
Miss...
What is this for?
My father has already helped you.
Now you guys can leave.
The full moon is coming.
You guys should be careful.
What do you mean by full moon?
We should be careful?
Your friend will never come home.
Merapi took him.
How could Merapi took him?
Merapi is his home now.
I know it's hard for both of you,
but this is the answer you're looking for.
I get it.
I get it now. I told you, Bon.
Rio is here.
Rio is here and you won't tell us.
Rio is over there, right?
-Leave. -Bon.
-Sir... -Andi... Ouch!
What is this, Miss?
Miss?
-Bon. -Andi, you heard it too, right?
Just leave this place and go home.
Leave before your wound gets worse.
Andi, let's just go home.
-Bon, you heard it yourself, right? -Let's just go home.
How about Rio?
Go home now.
Is this the right place?
Just follow the road for now.
Why is it so hard to get help from the locals here?
So we're going to talk to one of Rio's friends...
...who climbed the mountain with him.
We've been told that he's been acting weird since,
but we're hoping he could help us.
Excuse me.
I'm Andi and this is my friend Babon.
I have talked on the phone with...
Sorry, is this Yudha's house?
-Yes. -Right.
I have talked with Yudha on the phone,
and we are here to meet him.
We have also talked about the camera and he doesn't mind about it.
-Could we go in and see him? -Yes. Please, come in.
Thank you.
Yudha.
Your guests are here.
Please come in.
-Can I come in? -Yes.
-Excuse me. -Yes.
Please come in.
-Excuse me. -Yes.
Sir.
-Please help him out. -Okay.
You can't go there.
They won't let you guys go there.
They? Who are they?
I don't want to be haunted again.
You can't climb up there. No one can go there.
Merapi should be closed.
-You can't go there! -Why can't we climb there?
And who are they you're talking about?
Bro, my friend and I have traveled far to get here.
You sounded different on the phone.
You said you want to give us some information. We're here now...
-Andi, calm down. -Are you on the spiritual guardian's side?
-Andi, talk slowly. -They're coming.
-Andi...
They are here!
-Forgive me, Lord! -Andi, come on.
-They are here. -Andi...
It's enough...
-Forgive me. -Who is it?
Forgive me, Lord.
What? Andi.
-Andi! -Forgive me...
-Sir... -Forgive me...
-Forgive me, Lord. -There's no one here, Yudha.
-I won't climb up the mountain, Lord. -Yudha...
-I won't climb up the mountain anymore. -There's no one here, Yudha.
We got nothing from him.
Moreover, when we were there,
he seems to be not in his right mind.
You should be the one who followed him. Right?
It's because you should be together in everything you do.
You are his brother and how could you even let him climb alone!
And now he's gone!
Where were you?
Sir.
Rio?
Go home!
-It's all just a dream. Wake up! -Go home!
-Wake up! -Go home!
Go home!
-Go home! -Stop it!
Go home!
It's not Rio.
When we checked out, I asked the receptionist.
I forced her to tell me about it,
and she said someone committed suicide in the room next to ours.
It was raining then, and nobody heard anything.
Why didn't you tell me?
Why are you telling me about it just now?
But it's weird that he asked you to go home too.
-Excuse me, Sir. -Yes.
My friend and I are going to climb up the Merapi.
We're looking for climbers. Where can we find them?
Well, Merapi is closed. There's an eruption.
Pan. Hey!
-What is it? -There's someone here.
-Oh. -Excuse me, Sir.
Sorry to disturb your sleep.
We are going to climb up the Merapi and we're looking for a climber.
I mean a guide. Where can we find them?
Oh, no! The guides are all back home.
But if you need porters, we can help.
-Cut it. -It's alright. Calm down.
There's an extra charge.
Double or triple the price.
How is it?
Two or three times are quite pricey.
But we have no choice.
You heard it too. The guides are all back home.
What do you think?
It's a deal then.
-Who is it again? -Mr Sarmo.
Knock the door.
-Excuse me, Mr Sarmo. -Mr Sarmo.
-Excuse me, Sir. -Mr Sarmo.
No one's home.
Excuse me.
It's empty.
Here's another guide of Merapi.
-What's his name? -Mr Sukit.
-Hello, Sir. Mr Sukit. -Mr Sukit.
Excuse me.
-Here he is. Sir. -Can I help you, Sir?
We are going to climb up the Merapi. Can you help us out?
-I can't, Sir. -No, it's...
-Excuse me, Sir. -Yeah, what is it?
My friend and I want to climb the Merapi. Can you help and guide us on our climb?
-Merapi? -Yes, please help us.
No. Merapi is going to have a party. Leave.
-What do you mean, Sir? -It's just the two of us.
Sir.
This is harder than I thought.
We had porters, but we didn't have any guide.
Hey, Andi. Wait up.
Andi.
-What is it? -Something fell from your backpack.
Damn.
-Shit. -Disgusting. It's still alive.
You should wash it.
Open it.
Is it there?
Oh my God. Shit!
-Ugh! -It's all over you clothes.
Look, it's still alive. Look at that.
Why are there so many of them? Where did it come from?
It's so disgusting!
Fuck! Look at your arm.
Andi... There!
Be careful, Andi.
Where's the tissue?
We had been warned by the locals about Merapi.
And now with all these bad things happened...
How is it, Andi?
-What do you mean? -I think we are not allowed to climb yet.
What did you say?
-We can't climb up now... -Are you scared? You wanna go home?
-It's not like that... -Where's your backpack? Take it and leave!
It's not like that.
It looks like the universe is not allowing us to...
Cut it! The universe what?
You are just like them and their vague paranoia.
-Paranoia? Are you not feeling it? -Paranoia on what, huh?
I don't know whether Andi is stubborn or insane.
But one thing for sure, nobody could stop him.
Nobody.
Even me.
Hey, Bon. Our friend is up there.
Hey, Bon. Rio is up there all alone.
If you are scared, just don't come in the first place. You bastard!
-How could I know they closed down... -It already happens!
Sir...
It's not a common wound on your arm.
Something's attached to it.
Do you want me to heal it?
Come and sit here.
Come here.
Sit down here.
Sit down.
Cover it for now. Okay?
It will be healed in two days.
Or maybe sooner. We'll see.
Shit!
I have a better medicine made of lizard's skin.
Do you want it? I'll go get it.
-Wait a moment here. -You don't have to, Sir. This will do.
I've been watching you both since this morning,
going back and forth looking through the houses' windows...
What do you want? What are you looking for?
We want to climb up the Merapi, Sir.
-So you are looking for a guide. -Yeah.
But we can't find any of them. They said the Merapi is closed.
That's true. They said it's gonna erupt, yet it isn't.
It seems like... From what I see...
Both of you are good kids.
I want to help you. How's that?
Are you a guide?
No, I'm a rancher. But I often help the guides here.
Do you know the route to the forbidden forest?
Of course I know.
I took my goat every morning to eat there.
When are you going to climb?
Well, we're going to climb this afternoon if it's possible.
Oh, not this afternoon.
-Why? -No, don't.
Wait two days more when it's full moon. It's good when there's a full moon.
It's too long.
Both of us should climb now.
You can't climb up with only two people.
There should be five people. That's the condition.
Why it should be like that?
Well, it's for your safety.
If there are less than five people, I can't guarantee your safety.
If there are five people, I will help you out. Okay?
Five people?
We need five people.
In two days.
Andi. Come on.
We should find people immediately.
We need three more people, Bon. Where can we find them? Back in Jakarta?
I don't know, maybe your acquaintance or anyone.
We'll never know if we aren't looking for it.
Bon, do you believe him?
-You believe that man? -It won't hurt to believe him.
Andi, look!
-Damn! -Shit!
We gotta start gathering people.
Let's go.
The wound healed so fast, man. It was healed right away.
We trusted him and we finally got our guide.
We just need to find three more people to climb up to Merapi with us.
Wamena and Java.
Well, I hope one of these has the floral aroma.
So it's connected to our theme today which is Kunti.
I'll try the first one, Aceh Gayo.
Bon, you don't have to record everything.
Don't flatter yourself, I didn't record you.
What are you doing then?
Behind you there's a coffee warrior just like you.
It's David.
Hey. Answer it.
Ask him how is it.
Hey, David.
Where are you?
Lactose intolerance? Are you allergic to milk?
Why didn't you tell us?
You can't climb up the Merapi with us then?
Gosh. Do you have any friend?
Someone who likes to climb mountains, to fill in your spot?
To climb the Merapi.
Alright then.
-Take your meds and get well soon. -Guys.
I think they are going to climb the Merapi.
He really can't make it?
He can't.
So? Does he have someone to fill his spot?
Nope.
Can't we just climb with four people?
He told us to bring in five people, don't bargain on it.
I know.
Guys, are you going to climb the Merapi?
Is there someone who want to take you there?
The full moon is coming.
Do you want to climb the Merapi too? Why would you climb there?
Oh! Sorry, I forgot.
My name is Citra and I'm a YouTuber.
Here's my YouTube Channel, Citra Dewi the Paranormal Investigator.
Imagine my content...
...is a beautiful, lovely girl like me climbing up to the forbidden mountain.
Guaranteed, it's gonna be viral.
Andi.
Right? Come on. Let's go!
What's your name again?
-Citra. -Citra.
Good luck.
Bon, let's go.
Hey, wait up!
Hold on.
You want to climb up there, but you need one more person, am I right?
Where can you find that person? Take me. That's it.
Frankly speaking,
in my opinion,
the term "viral" must be removed from dictionaries.
Okay, if you disagree with me, find someone to replace him.
Do you know anyone who would join us to climb on such a short notice like this?
You don't have one, right? Let's just take her with us.
You can say whatever you want, but thanks to Citra,
we can find two more people to climb with us.
Once again, thank you for your willingness to join us climbing the Merapi.
Thank you.
This is when Dika proposed to me.
Look.
-That's your pre-wedding photo? -Yes.
It's the ring.
-Yeah. -Isn't it cute?
Yeah, it totally is.
Andi, it's very cute.
I have succeeded in getting the most beautiful girl.
Being successful before 30, it's done.
What's left is conquering the mountains around the world.
So, for our first month wedding anniversary...
...we want to climb and stay overnight on the mountain.
Dika often climbs.
But it will be more fun if I do it with you.
-I'm tired of climbing her on the bed. -What are you saying?
But it's true.
See? There's no challenge we can't conquer.
As long as I have you.
Aw, babe.
Bon, censor. Turn off your camera.
-Okay, I'll turn it off. -Give them some privacy.
"I'm tired of climbing her on the bed."
Just let them be. As long as they climb with us.
Hey, guys. I'm so happy...
...to finally find some friends to come and join me to climb the Merapi...
...even when the route is closed.
It's closed because somebody died in the mountain.
I know you are curious...
...whether Citra the Paranormal Investigator...
...will come home safely or not.
Come and meet my team first.
Let me introduce them one by one.
What's your name?
-Nadia. -Nadia.
-You? -Dika.
Dika! And then?
I forgot who is he.
What's your name again?
It's Andi!
This one is Babon.
-Hello. -Hi!
Okay, guys. They will join me to climb the Merapi.
Do you think I will survive or not?
Stay tune and don't miss out. Okay?
Andi. Hold this for me.
Andi.
Are you sure?
-Let's go. -Just come.
-Let's go, Sir. -Are we going this way?
-Go... -Babe! You could fall down.
What? This is solid.
So, guys... Because the route to the Merapi is closed,
we have to pass through the forbidden forest.
It's a sacred area that only the locals know.
So, guys, according to the climbers online,
there will be strange noises here in Merapi.
And we'll be even more lucky if we meet a Kuntilanak or Tuyul.
Moreover at Bubrah Market,
they said there are many supernatural sellers.
But don't worry, I brought some coins to repel them.
Oh, guys, one more thing, there are some offerings here.
Let's go.
Okay, guys! Don't forget to like, comment and subscribe. Okay?
-Come on. -Okay. You're so noisy.
-Hey... -Take these amulets.
Bon, back off.
We don't need that, Sir. Thank you.
Don't come closer.
Hey! What are you doing?
What is he doing?
He wanted to give us something, but we said no.
Do you know him?
-He didn't do anything to you, right? -No.
There are many lunatics here.
If they give you something, don't take it.
-Understand? Don't take it! -Yes, Sir.
-Come on. Let's go.
-Go on. Come on. -Come on, Bon.
Come on.
He's still here.
Let's go.
Hey.
-What is it, Sir? -What is it, Sir?
Woah! What is it?
-What's wrong? -What is it, Bon?
-What's wrong, Bon? -I can see a white shadow over there.
Where is it? It's up, down, over here?
-Where is it? -It's there.
The white shadow was probably just fog blowing in the wind.
But I don't believe that.
I saw it clearly it has eyes!
We should reach the first post by now, but why aren't we there yet?
Why is it so far? I'm tired.
Guys, hold up.
Did you heard that? What noise is that?
It's a music from the dancers. They are just dancing.
In the middle of the forest?
No, there's a pool below there. If you want to, I can take you there.
That's a place where the dancers often get possessed, right?
Yeah, that happens sometimes.
But don't be scared.
It's a common reaction on a wedding party.
I'll take you there if you want.
They're probably scared, but I'm not.
This is fun! Guys, let's watch the dance show.
Come on, just a brief look.
Citra, we don't have time.
Why?
Are you going to climb or to see someone pretending to be possessed?
If you get a chance to see a ghost, will you take it?
Of course not.
-Why not? Are you scared? -Nope, not now.
You must be scared. You coward. Just say it if you're scared.
Stop it.
Sorry, Sir. I can't follow you any longer.
Why don't you tell them that Merapi is going to have a party?
I guarantee their safety.
Andi.
Hey! It seems like our porters want to go down.
Just let them be. It's none of our business.
Dika... Look!
-He got possessed! -What are you saying?
-He got possessed! -No way.
-I told you he gets possessed. -You saw it, right?
Hey! Dika!
Dika! Don't!
Please help!
They closed down Merapi...
...not because of an eruption.
But because there's a party.
And we are uninvited guests.
I will surely help if I can.
Yes, I understand.
Yes...
Come.
Shit, what happened to these people?
Rio!
Bon! What is that?
