There's something weird about Suratno.
What do you mean?
Bon, don't accuse someone like that.
Just hang on. I'm going to get rich and you will get back to me.
Do you realize that the things you are doing is dangerous?
-Putra, Citra, let it go. -Let me go...
-Just cut my leg already! -Bon, put the camera away!
Going down? What do you mean by "guys"?
I have to stay.
I have to finish this.
If you see something or someone that looks like Rio,
don't be tricked. It's not Rio.
It felt like the time stopped.
Everything stopped.
The second time I turned my head to make sure of it...
"Kisah Tanah Jawa Merapi"
You can pin it on your shirt.
You can put this here.
Like this?
Yes.
Okay, Mr Dharmo.
First of all, we want to say thank you so much for coming here.
We all know that we didn't welcomed you...
...the first time you showed yourself when we're climbing.
So we would like to ask you to explain...
...and make everything clear to us.
Maybe you can start by introducing yourself, sir.
My name is Dharmo, a guide at Merapi.
Truthfully, I've had my suspicions and I was scared...
...since I first saw you guys climbing.
That's why I insisted giving you the amulets.
-Hey! Bon, back off! -Take the amulets.
We don't need that kind of stuff. Thank you.
Don't come closer.
Hey, what is it?
What is he doing?
He wants to give us something but we refused.
I followed your group...
...secretly.
I don't want any of you to be a victim.
I will help if I can.
I'll be back by Tuesday Kliwon.
Okay.
There's something telling me to look after you.
That's the reason why I kept tailing you.
I just want you to be safe.
I had a feeling that danger was keeping its eyes close to you.
Citra!
-Citra! -Citra!
I've had my suspicions...
...that there's someone who wanted to make you a sacrifice.
Here. Write it down.
Each of your names and birth dates.
Pardon, sir? Can you explain a bit about the sacrifice and how it goes?
A sacrifice is our offering to them...
...when we want something from them.
Just hang on. I'm going to get rich and you will get back to me.
A sacrifice usually is something alive, a living being.
The ritual process should be done even before they reach the top.
As far as I know,
it's not that hard.
As long as there are flowers and cigarettes,
it's all good.
You also need photos of the people who will be sacrificed.
You can also just write the full name and birth date on a paper.
If the ritual fails,
it will backfire to the person who planned it.
He'll be the sacrifice instead.
How can one fails the ritual?
The thing that you had in your pocket...
...is some kind of blessing from God...
...to help you find the truth about your best friend.
That flower kept you safe on your way.
Are you talking about the kantil flower from the spiritual guardian?
Right.
Guys...
...I think it stopped.
-Back off! -Citra...
-What's wrong? Hey, calm down. -Back off!
It's all right, you are safe.
Calm down.
You're safe. It's all right.
It's all right. Calm down.
Calm down.
Cut it for now, Bon.
When the wind stopped and we made sure that everything's good,
we went out from the tent.
Mr Dharmo was already standing there.
Stop joking, sir.
There's no way he makes us a sacrifice.
Don't joke around.
Now where is Mr Suratno?
That day, I found Mr Suratno was already dead...
...on the stone with his offerings around.
He was holding the photo of him and his wife.
I assume he was doing this...
...to save his family,
even if it means he had to sacrifice strangers.
He intentionally led you guys to the wrong direction.
So this means we're still not safe until we went out from that forest?
I can take you to Suratno's place as we climb down.
No.
Yes, we will go to Suratno's place but we're not climbing down.
-Andi... -I gotta climb up.
What is it, Bon? You know why I'm here.
-Don't do as you please like that. -Like what? I gotta climb up!
-I don't want to. -I gotta reach...
Don't look up!
Shit!
Who told you guys to make a tent here? On this ground?
Well...
...Mr Suratno.
Hey, baby, are you okay?
Look at this. You see all of this!
-Don't point your finger like that. -You still want to climb up?
Andi, let's climb down.
I won't climb down without Rio.
Andi, will you finally climb down when one of us dies?
Fuck! What did you say?
Calm down, Andi.
I know it's hard for you to climb down without any certainty about your friend.
He's up there, ain't he?
You're the one who guided him up there, didn't you?
Why did you leave him up there?
-Where did you left him? -Take it easy.
-Take me there now! -Andi...
-I have to get him home! -Andi, calm down!
Calm down.
Rio is still up there.
But he's no longer here.
He lives in a different world.
Bullshit!
Look at your friend here.
They shouldn't be here.
I'm not sure they will be okay if they stay here any longer.
Andi, we're not welcomed here.
Where are you going, Nadia?
Help me, sir.
Andi.
Andi...
-Listen to me. -Stay away!
-Andi... -Stay away!
Andi.
Rio?
Go home!
Andi...
Andi.
Andi...
Rio wouldn't want us to be like this.
Look at this.
-Right. -Guys, be prepared. We're going down.
-Okay, we're going down. -Yes, sir.
Come on.
This is too dangerous. You guys go down.
Sir, please take care of them for me.
What do you mean by "you guys"?
I have to stay.
I have to finish this.
-You will die if you stay here alone. -Bon...
Whatever!
Whatever, you're coming or not, it's your choice.
He just wants to die here I guess.
Let's go, we have no time. Let's go, babe.
-Get ready. -We have to hurry.
Andi...
You don't have to bear this alone.
No, sir, this is my responsibility as a son and a brother.
-Come on, we need to hurry. -You can't do this.
We can explain all of this to his mother. She will understand.
Bon, if I didn't make it,
-you have to tell her everything. -No! You have to meet her too.
Tell her yourself.
Andi...
If you meet someone or something that looks like Rio, don't be tricked.
It's not Rio.
Here. Keep this stick to your body.
It's for your protection, okay?
Andi...
Just trust him.
In case all the myths are true.
Keep this with you too.
Take this.
You need it more than I do.
Andi...
-Hurry up, Citra. -I can't. My leg hurts so bad.
-It really hurts. -But we have to be quick.
I can't, Bon. My legs are hurting.
Okay, you can rest here. Sit down.
My leg feels so heavy. I can't do it anymore.
Sit down, quick.
Hold the camera.
Sir, what's wrong with my wife?
Baby...
Go away!
-What's wrong, Dika? -I don't know.
What's wrong with my wife?
There was a lot of hair.
And her eyes are pitch black.
Pitch black.
Just like what you saw.
Sir, do something! What's gotten into her?
-Mr Dharmo! Sir! -Hey, Sir!
Honey...
What's happening here?
Mr Dharmo can't even explain...
...what's happening that night.
Or what happened to Citra.
Her foot...
Hang in there, Citra.
That night I felt so itchy.
It's so itchy to the point I wanted to scratch it so bad.
It made me want to do anything to make it stop.
It's that itchy. So itchy...
Mr Dharmo! Please help Citra.
Sir, please help her.
Hang on, Citra.
Citra, what's happening? Sir, help her!
Citra...
Citra!
Sir!
Citra was here not long ago, sir. Sir, help me.
Citra!
-Sir. -Where is she, Bon?
-Bon! Behind you! -Where?
Citra!
Mr Dharmo, help her!
Bon, are you okay?
Have some water first.
I'm sure...
...what I saw back then was not Citra.
It's kuntilanak from before.
Dika, Nadia, help us out. Don't just stand there!
Hey!
Hang on, Citra!
Who are you?
I'm not afraid of you!
-Hold her tight. Hurry! -Okay, sir.
I'm not afraid!
I still remember...
...the way she looked at me.
I still remember clearly.
And also her laugh...
I can still hear it clearly in my ears until this day.
So clearly.
I..
Bon.
Do you wanna take a break for a moment?
-I'm not afraid! -Dika, help me out!
I don't care!
It's all her own fault.
Are we going down together or not? Come on!
Shit!
I'm not afraid!
-I'm not afraid! -Hold her arm!
I got it.
I heard...
I heard Citra's screaming.
Rio!
Rio.
Rio!
I'm not afraid!
Here, sir.
Fuck!
Stay away from my business!
Bon, that's enough. We should take a break.
Nope.
Come on, sir!
-Citra... -Sir. Help me, sir...
Dika...
That night Dika... I saw him...
Mr Dharmo! Look at Dika!
Help him, sir!
It's no longer Dika.
All of those incidents indicated that we're really not welcomed there.
It started with Nadia,
Citra and now Dika.
I couldn't take it anymore.
And we decided to climb down...
...without Andi.
When I was about to give up,
I remembered Rio.
I remembered Rio's mom...
...and...
...Lidia.
Rio.
My whole body was really hurt.
It hurt.
It hurt so much...
I even thought it's better to be dead.
Rio.
It hurt...
For all the things happened to me that day,
I finally start to believe...
...I'm accepting the fact...
...that we're not alone in this world.
There are many things that can't be explained logically.
Many of it.
Even too many.
Ever since I was up there,
I felt...
You want some of this, kid?
Something's following me.
Sometimes I felt it was staring at me.
I even turned my head...
...to check on it.
How should I explain this...
It felt like the time stopped.
Everything stopped.
The second time I turned my head to make sure what was really happening,
all of them were staring at me.
And finally at that time...
...I saw Rio.
Rio with...
...some kind of...
...procession...
Rio.
You are not angry with me, are you?
I traveled this far for you.
Your mom was actually right.
You are alive.
Let's go home.
Your mom and your family are waiting for you.
Come on, we'll find a way.
I'm happy here, Andi.
Go home.
His voice...
...and even the way he talked,
he's just like Rio.
Just like him? What do you mean?
What are you talking about?
I traveled this far for you.
Let's go home now. It's dangerous out here.
You can't, Andi.
You don't belong here.
I fulfilled my destiny.
That's why I'm here, to be a groom of Merapi.
What are you saying?
Go home, Andi.
Tell my mom and Lidia...
...I'm at peace here.
They don't have to worry anymore.
Let Rio go.
At that point, I knew it wasn't him.
But I don't know why I believed every words he said.
Rio is happy.
Andi, do you want to take a break?
Take your time, man.
-Watch out, Citra. -Dika...
Babe...
Dika!
-Dika! -Nadia!
Dika is not there, Nadia!
-Babon... -Yes, sir?
Bring Citra down to the nearest villager's house.
-I don't know the way to go there, sir. -Just go straight down here.
Don't look around and don't stop, okay?
Sir!
Come on, Citra.
It's time to go home.
Come on.
Mr Dharmo said...
...the universe helped me.
That woman helped me.
Rio's bride.
She saved me.
Why did she save me?
I don't even know.
Maybe it's because...
Because you let Rio go. Maybe.
What about Dika?
Do you know what happened to him that night?
Dika! Sir.
Dika!
Sir, that's Dika.
Wait. It's not Dika anymore. Come on.
Rio's passing and our trip to Merapi yesterday...
...had taught us many things.
There's a price we need to pay.
The trip taught me...
...that regret can never change anything that has already happened.
That night,
the price that Nadia had to pay was so big.
She lost her husband.
It's not Dika.
He's the father of my child.
Bon, what are you doing?
Bon, it's enough.
The pain of losing someone you love.
"Jakarta"
Are you sure...
...that he's happy there?
Lidia... Lid!
Lidia.
Lidia!
Come in.
-Excuse us, ma'am. -Yes.
So how is it?
We climbed up there,
to Merapi.
I...
...tried my best to bring him home.
But...
...we had to let him go, ma'am.
I know very well how disappointed Rio's mom is.
Let it go...
And I also understand...
Rio is gone, ma'am.
...Rio's mother won't see me until this day.
The trip taught me one thing.
And that one thing changed my life.
I don't know when can I fully understand those things happened in Merapi.
But one thing is for sure,
Merapi won't be the same again in my eyes.
There are thousands of mysteries buried there.
The mysteries...
...that will probably never be revealed.
Okay, cut!
