Sister...
-What, Jum? -Let's go. I don't...
What? You don't want to bathe her?
Jum, why are you, a Kliwon girl, scared?
You were born on a Kliwon Friday, weren't you?
-Listen to me... -Stop it!
Enough!
I feel hot here.
I'm cleaning the house wearing this over-the-top clothing.
Let me change my clothes.
Sister, the recording's broken.
What should I do?
What did you say?
The recording's broken.
But have you finished the ritual?
I haven't.
Not everything.
Oh, dear!
Come on! Hurry!
Let's go, Jum.
What should we do, Jum?
Jum, come here.
Bring it back to the original position.
Hurry.
Lift it.
Sister, her hand is blocking.
Her leg.
Put her leg inside.
-This one? -Yes. Hurry.
Jum?
Sister!
Sister Ranti!
Sister!
Who are you, child?
East Java, 2003

-Ma'am. -Hey, Sri.
-Give this to Sister Minah, okay, Sri? -Okay.
Yes. Hold on.
-Thank you, Sri. -Thank you, Ma'am. Okay.
-Give my regards to Sister Minah. -Yes.
Coffee for Mr. Budi.
Miss, I order sweet ice tea.
Alright.
-Your coffee. Enjoy. -Thanks.
-These are done? -Sri, the rawon!
Okay. One moment.
Excuse me.
Actually, I am feeling bad,
especially because I haven't paid the previous ones.
Thanks.
But I really need it, Sister.
I'm sorry, Sri.
But I also have a lot of expenses this month.
Adi is starting school.
I have to buy books and uniform for him.
Hang on.
Here, Sri.
Try this.
Job Vacancy: Female House Assistant, age 20-35
Is this for the Atmojo family?
Yes.
Weird.
They're looking for helpers every day.
The Atmojo family has a lot of restaurants.
Scattered all over Java.
That's why they always need helpers.
They would pay you ten million rupiah, you know.
Who knows, maybe there will be a prince looking for a wife.
Do you think this is a soap opera?
Miss, can I change my order to just water?
You can. One moment, please.
Orange juice.
Miss Sri?
Yes?
Do you have stingray mangut today?
We have.
One moment, let me get it for you.
Sir?
Sir!
What's going on, Sri?
He paid less money.
That guy is fasting all white things.
He only consumes white rice and plain water.
I'm okay with him fasting.
But he shouldn't put us in a loss.
Let him be.
-Miss, number three? -Yes, Ma'am?
-Asmawati? -Right.
-You brought your diploma? -I did.
-Just prepare it. -Okay.
Wati, I'm a high school graduate, you know.
Why wouldn't they accept me?
-I don't get it. -They really do have weird terms.
Miss?
-Are you okay? -I'm fine.
Miss? Are you okay?
-Let me help... -Ouch.
-Let's get in. -I'm fine.
Let's just get in. Come on.
-Thank you, Miss. -Her bag.
Hold it.
What's your name, Miss?
Sri.
I'm Lydia.
Were you going to apply for a job here?
I was, but then I changed my mind.
Why?
I don't have a diploma.
I see.
No diploma.
It's fine.
Hold one more second.
Done.
Take the bandage off at home.
Okay?
Thank you.
No problem.
Lydia.
One moment.
Sri.
She wants to meet you.
Who?
Mbah Karso.
She's the head of the Atmojo family.
Hear me out, not everyone can meet her.
Who knows, maybe you'll get hired instantly.
Let's go.
Please, come in.
Come on.
What's your full name, child?
Sri Rahayu.
You were born on a Kliwon Friday?
How do you know?
I can smell Wijoyo Kusumo and Gadru inside of you.
Why did you come here?
My father, Mbah.
I need money for his medication.
That means we want the same thing: to save our family.
You need money for your father's medication.
And I need you to take care of my family.
I promise to help with your father's medication.
But...
...you need to answer this first.
Are you ready to work for me?
I'm ready, Mbah.
After this...
...you cannot back out.
Follow me.
Come closer, Sri.
For now on, you are my servant.
With this, our agreement is approved.
Do your job...
...and I will do my part.
You cannot betray me.
Because your life has been pawned to me.
Sri...
...please bathe my body with this water.
Feel my lesions, child.
I promise you...
...you will never have these kinds of lesions...
...as long as you keep your promise.
Wake up, Miss.
Miss?
Wake up!
Sorry, but what's your name?
Sugih.
Sri.
Mbah told me to tell you this.
Don't tell anyone.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Don't you want to look for another place to work?
What other place?
We lost Tyas because we couldn't pay.
I don't want to lose you because we don't have money.
Okay then...
...if that's what you want.
I'm only going to tell you this.
Take care of yourself.
Sri?
What's wrong?
What's going on here?
Father?
What's wrong?
What's going on here?
Sri!
Father!
Sri!
Drink your medication.
-I will. -And don't forget to eat.
-Take rest. -Okay, child.
Okay, then.
Pray for me, father.
I surely will, child.
Take care.
Hi, I'm Sri, Miss.
Don't call me Miss. We're the same age.
I'm Erna.
Miss.
Dini.
Don't worry.
We all have the same markings.
It means Mbah has done the same thing to you.
Done what?
How do you know?
Miss Dini has worked for Atmojo family for a while.
Sorry, Sir.
Aren't we going to Mbah Karso's house?
Where are we?
Don't get off the car.
What's going on here?
Miss, what's Mr. Sugih doing?
What is he doing?
Oh, dear.
What's going on there?
Sorry, Sir.
What were you just doing?
Nothing.
Don't worry. We'll get to our destination soon.
Come on, Sri.
Is this also Mbah Karso's house?
Sri.
Thank you.
Thank you, Sir.
Just come in.
You'll get an explanation later.
There's no electricity here.
You have to turn on all the lights before it gets dark.
Your bedroom is over there.
Sri.
Day 1.000?
What's on that day?
We're leaving on that day.
-Mbah. -How was it?
I've done it as you ordered me to.
I'm going to wait outside.
Okay.
I'm Tamin.
You must be baffled...
...as to why you're brought here.
The answer is...
...is in this room.
Now...
...wear this cloth.
Change your clothes with this.
Here?
Come on.
That cloth...
...will protect you...
...because it has been soaked with water containing seven types of flowers...
...smoked...
...with incense...
...vetiver, and sandalwood.
The smell should...
...calm her down.
We're done, Mbah.
Okay.
Okay, then.
Get the water from the pump in the kitchen.
Okay, Mbah.
Sorry if it smells bad.
It is the way it is.
Sri...
Close the door, Din.
Okay.
Here are the batteries.
In the cassette...
...there's a recording of Mbah Karso's voice.
It contains the instruction...
...and steps for Bathing The Dead.
A ritual you have to do.
Bathe whom?
Din...
-...open the cloth. -Okay.
That's Della Atmojo.
The granddaughter of Mbah Karso Atmojo.
She's a victim of strong dark magic.
Due to the dark magic...
...an evil being named Sangarturih is in her body.
It will stay inside of her for a thousand days.
If we do nothing...
...on day 1.000, Della will be gone forever.
So, she can be saved by Bathing The Dead ritual?
Bathing The Dead is only to calm Sangarturih.
For it not to be wild and harm others.
This ritual needs to be started when dusk begins.
And it needs to be done before the sun fully sets.
When it's done...
...turn the cassette tape back to its original position.
Got it?
Yes, Mbah.
Din.
Put the cassette on.
Thank you for helping me...
...to do the Bathing The Dead ritual.
I beg you to listen carefully and follow all my instructions.
Put some water into the basin.
After that...
...take the seven types of flowers.
Put a pinch of each according to the sequence.
First, red rose...
...white rose...
...jasmine...
...ylang-ylang...
...tuberose...
...white champak...
...and gambir.
Now...
...walk toward the bier.
Before opening the bier...
...make sure her hands and feet have been tied.
Start tying from her left feet and hands.
Open the bier's covering...
...and put it on the right side of my granddaughter.
Don't open the bier if my granddaughter isn't tied.
Now, start washing from her feet...
...to her abdomen...
...to her face.
And then, her back.
Follow my words.
Humans are in this world for a reason.
Listen, you inhabitants of the world.
This is the reason I serve my master.
The glorious malicious breed.
Humans are in this world for a reason.
Listen, you inhabitants of the world.
This is the reason I serve my master.
The glorious malicious breed.
Humans are in this world for a reason.
Listen, you inhabitants of the world.
This is the reason I serve my master.
The glorious malicious breed.
Humans are in this world...
...for a reason.
Evil human!
Sri!
This is the reason I serve my master.
-Sri? -Sri?
-What's wrong, Sri? -Sri!
Help them inside!
Sri, are we allowed to leave?
Sri!
-Where are you going? -Home.
I can't work like this.
But which direction is home?
Hang on.
Oh, dear.
Sri!
Wait for me!
Sri!
Wait for me, I'm wearing a cloth.
Er?
Er...
My head.
Blood.
Erna! Sri!
Sri...
Sri, wake up.
Sri, Er.
Wake up.
Miss.
Drink this.
You fainted.
Are you better now?
Sorry, children.
You have made an agreement with Mbah Karso.
And this place...
...has been fenced magically.
Not only to restrict Della.
But also to restrict you.
You only have to...
...bathe and take care of Della...
...for the next four days...
...until day 1.000.
Got it?
This will work, won't it?
I hope so.
So, we can't leave?
We can.
When our job is done.
I don't get it.
Who would curse Della like that?
The Atmojo family has a lot of enemies.
From what I heard...
...after she had been possessed by Sangarturih...
...Della killed her family...
...including her parents.
They had put her in a cage before she could kill Mbah Karso.
But it was before the Bathe The Dead ritual.
Since she has been given a bath...
...Della and Sangarturih can be controlled.
Relax.
Don't think too much.
We just need to help each other here now.
We are being paid well with ten million rupiah.
I have a family to feed.
I believe you have the same situation as me.
Remember your family.
Let's just do our job.
This place is actually nice, Sri.
But inside...
Horrifying.
Right.
It was really horrifying last night.
But do you think...
...Della is still...
...in there?
Well...
...maybe.
But why didn't they take her to the doctor?
They have money.
Sri, Erna.
Let's go pump the water.
Okay, Miss.
Sri, come on.
It's hard.
The pump is here.
Then you put the water in the basin.
In the room, you mix it with the seven types of flowers.
The sequence...
Just follow Mbah Karso's instruction from the cassette.
Who will help me bathe Della this evening?
I'll do it.
Okay, then.
Try it.
Me or you?
You first.
Help, Miss.
Miss?
Help me, Miss.
Sri?
I heard Della's voice from the room.
Ignore it.
That's Sangarturih, not Della.
We have a problem.
The pump is jammed.
Without water, we can't bathe Della.
We can't cook.
Er...
Yes, Miss?
Can you bathe Della by yourself?
By myself?
Just follow the instructions from the recording.
Wear the batik cloth.
Now, before the sun sets.
Okay, Miss.
Er.
Don't do it wrong.
Yes, Miss.
You help me.
What should I do?
Humans are in this world for a reason.
Listen, you inhabitants of the world...
Sri, find a bolt like this one in the toolbox.
Yes, Miss.
Humans are in this world for a reason.
Listen, you inhabitants of the world.
This is the reason I serve my master.
Humans are in this world for a reason...
998 Days
Miss!
Help me!
Sri?
You're awake?
What's wrong with you?
Why do you look so pale?
I'm fine.
Thank God.
Miss Dini wanted to wake you up.
But I told her to let you sleep.
Because you looked tired.
Let's have breakfast.
Come on.
How could it be?
Did you see who that was?
No, Er.
I had just woken up.
Miss.
Is there any sugarcane field around here?
I don't know.
And I heard someone asking for help...
...from inside the shack.
Is that so?
It sounded like Della's voice.
What does that mean?
It could be nothing.
You couldn't stop thinking about it, so you dreamt about it.
But...
...this leaf.
Why was it on the bed?
Stop it!
We just have to work for two more days.
Don't have weird thoughts.
Sri.
You will bathe Della this evening?
That means I can rest.
You'll help me clean up this place.
Yes, Miss.
...to her abdomen...
...to her face.
And then, her back.
Thank you for helping me do the Bathing The Dead ritual.
I beg you to listen...
Miss.
What's your name, Miss?
Miss.
My name's Sri.
Della?
I can hear...
...your voice and the others'.
But now...
...I can only lie down.
My little sister also loved to sleep.
Sleepyhead.
Your little sister, what's her name?
Tyas.
Where is she now?
Gone.
Oh, gone.
I'm so sorry, Miss.
Let me bathe you, okay?
Miss Sri.
Can you come closer?
I want to see the face of the person who is taking care of me.
I had a dream last night.
I think you were in my dream, Del.
I...
...for helping me...
Open the bier's covering.
...for helping me...
Open the bier's covering.
You can untie the rope.
...for helping me...
Open the bier's covering.
You can untie the rope.
Miss.
I'm scared.
Come here.
Sri.
I'm scared.
Sri!
-What's wrong? -Miss Della!
Hang on, let me wear my cloth.
Wait for me.
Why couldn't you do this easy task?
I swear.
I swear, the tape was playing strangely.
I was told to open the bier.
The flowers were scattered.
And Della...
You must've heard it wrong!
Remember what I told you this morning!
Don't have weird thoughts!
Just do your job well!
Er, did you bathe her correctly?
I did.
From start to finish...
...nothing weird with Della.
What's going on?
-Della was... -Enough!
No need to talk about it!
Sri...
What's going on here?
Spooky.
Oh dear!!
999 Days
Help!
Excuse me.
How's it going, Din?
Anything weird happened when I was away?
I'll tell you about it.
Please help me unload.
Yes, Mbah.
Good morning, Mr. Sugih.
What's that for?
There's something I need to do.
Just a moment.
It's okay if it takes longer.
We're happy to have you here.
Let's go, Sri.
It's been a while.
What is he digging for?
Until this late in the afternoon.
I don't know.
It looks like he's looking for something.
Mbah.
Here's the thing...
Yesterday...
...the voice in the tape changed.
It told me to set Della free.
Dini had told me.
That was Sangarturih's doing.
It will do anything...
...to be free.
Including tricking you.
Not only that.
I also had weird dreams twice.
What dream?
I was...
...at a sugarcane field.
I found a shack.
I heard a voice inside, sounded like Della's.
And then someone attacked me.
Relax.
Don't think too much about it.
The important thing is you're okay.
-But... -Only one more day, Sri.
And then you can go home.
That's all you need to think about.
Okay?
Sri.
Let's open it.
Don't be impudent!
It's ok, Miss.
You're also curious about what's inside, right?
Right?
Come on.
Okay.
One, two, three.
It's still broken.
Sri...
Slow down.
It's jammed.
It's enough.
What are they planning, Er?
I don't know.
But if we have the chance...
...we leave.
But we'll end up just like the other day.
Well...
...it's okay. Bear it.
When we reach the city, we'll go to a witch doctor.
Okay?
You've filled the bucket?
We have.
Take note, Sri.
Don't make a mistake again.
Okay.
You can do it.
Come on, Sri. It's late.
Start washing from her feet...
...to her abdomen...
Here, Miss.
It was exactly like this yesterday.
Why is it so?
Start again from the beginning, then.
Thank you for helping me do the Bathing The Dead ritual.
I beg you to listen carefully and follow all my instructions.
Don't screw up the sequence.
Miss, the bucket's leaking.
You're right!
Oh, dear.
Sri, get some more water!
-It's late! -Okay.
I'll be on the lookout here.
What's wrong with you?
What should I do?
Sri!
Hang on!
Damn it!
Before opening the bier...
Just go. Let me keep watch here.
You help Sri.
Okay, then.
Keep watch here, okay?
Hang on!
Again!
Enough.
Come on, Sri!
Close the door.
Del...
Della...
Candle.
Del?
Miss Dini! Sri!
What happen?
Where's Della, Sri?
Are you okay?
Where's Della, Sri?
Where's Della?
A Kliwon child!
Della!
This is the reason I serve my master.
The glorious malicious breed.
You were all born on Kliwon day.
You're all...
...only human sacrifices.
Humans are in this world for a reason.
Listen, you inhabitants of the world.
This is the reason I serve my master.
The glorious malicious breed.
1.000 Days
It hurts, Miss.
How could you not hear Della leaving?
What were you doing at the door?
This has been weird all along!
The tape started from the middle. The bucket leaked.
What did I say, Sri?
Be thorough!
If we're not thorough, we'll be doomed!
We've been doomed since we came here!
You were all born on a Kliwon Friday?
What, Er?
Didn't you hear?
Della said we're only human sacrifices.
I think...
I think we were sacrificed by Mbah Tamin.
To replace Della's life.
And who is that grave at the front for?
For us!
Oh, God!
Enough!
When Della was still at Mbah Karso's house...
...I worked there with my friends.
Jum and Ratih.
They made a mistake...
...and didn't finish the ritual.
They were killed by Della.
It made me abandon my husband.
And my kid.
I tried to kill myself.
Thankfully, Mbah Tamin came along.
He saved me.
He said my life is precious.
I have to live.
And that he had a way to save me.
He only had one condition!
I had to help out until day 1.000!
I believe him!
And I ask...
...that you believe too!
Del?
See?
I told you we should've left.
I don't want to die yet!
What are you talking about, Er!
Calm down!
We have a responsibility here.
To keep a watch on Della. To not let her loose.
Stop it, Er!
We can't!
Mbah Tamin said this area has been fenced.
That's right. The fence.
You're right, Sri.
Della should still be around here.
Mbah Tamin said the fence is in the shape of a Corpse Umbrella.
There are three of them.
We need to make sure all of them are still stuck on the ground.
It's time for you to die!
Della!
Erna?
Er? What are you doing Er?
Er!
Erna?
Er?
What's wrong with you?
I have to do this, Sri.
I need to pull out all of those umbrellas!
But why?
Our job is to keep a watch on Della.
I am here to let her go.
Mbah Karso started all this.
You will not understand.
This is the reason...
Be Mbah Karso servant!
...I serve my master.
The glorious malicious breed.
The bucket is leaking
Er?
Erna?
Er?
Er...
Er!
I get that you regret what you were doing.
But it was self-defense.
If you didn't do it...
...you wouldn't be here now.
Just one more day, Sri.
You'll be able to meet your father tonight.
Erna's gone.
She's gone.
I'm leaving now.
Sri.
I killed Erna.
Erna is dead.
But trust me...
...it's not your fault.
Too many lives have been lost in this mess.
Let Erna be the last.
I know you had a sister.
And when she was gone, you were helpless.
But now you have power.
You can save Della.
What can I do, Mbah?
I'm a nobody!
Only your blood has the scent of Wijoyokusumo and Arum Gadru.
Just like Sabdo Kuntjoro, the sender of this black magic.
What you experienced in your sleep wasn't a dream.
It was the world of Sukma.
That's where Della is held captive.
And during these 1.000 days...
...you're the first person who has been in contact with her.
You're the only one who can go there, Sri.
And you can save Della only today.
I beg you...
...don't let all this effort go to waste.
Help my granddaughter, Sri.
She's the only family I have left.
Din, while Sri enters the world of Sukma...
...don't stop the Bathing The Dead ritual.
Keep Sangarturih calm.
Got it?
Start now.
Okay, Mbah.
You and Della will be bound to each other.
Find Della.
And bring her here.
To this grave.
Bring this to the world of Sukma.
Sabdo Kuntjoro will stop you there.
Sri...
Bring back my granddaughter.
She's the only family I have left.
One more thing.
The world of Sukma is different from our world.
When it's day here, it's night there.
You have only until before the sun rises there.
When the day comes, the 1,000th day ends...
...and Della won't be able to be saved anymore.
Got it?
Surrender yourself, Sri.
Humans are in this world for a reason.
Listen, you inhabitants of the world.
This is the reason I serve my master.
The glorious malicious breed.
Sri, You will be okay.
Surrender yourself, Sri
Close your eyes.
Miss.
Della?
I can't take it anymore here.
Della?
Help me Miss.
Miss!
Help me Miss.
Mbah, I ran out of water.
Mbah!
Della!
Tamin.
Della don't do it.
Tamin.
Della.
I'm over here, Miss!
-Della. -I can't take it anymore here.
I feel like I want to die.
-Della? -Find the key, Miss.
Where's the key?
He usually brings it with him.
Who are you talking about?
Miss, the key, please.
Find it, Miss.
Come on, Miss.
You stupid!
Don't open the door!
Della?
Miss?
I'm Sri.
Hang on.
Della.
Now, it's your time!
Remember whom you serve.
You're ready to die by the hands of...
Sangarturih...
...until you're the only one left...
...took you from me.
Remember.
Miss Sri.
We can't be long here.
Come on.
Don't take her.
Damn you!
Della! Let's go!
Del!
Della! You can't go anywhere, Del!
Del! You can't go anywhere!
Del! You can't! Del!
Della!
Damn you!
Del!
Oh, God!
Come on, Del!
Miss Sri.
Miss.
Come on, Del!
-Del! -Miss.
Get up.
Come on.
Damn you!
Miss Dini.
Miss!
-Sri! -Miss Dini...
Della?
-Della? -Mbah?
It's me, your grandmother.
Come. Stand up.
Miss Sri.
Del.
Della.
My Dear...
Atmojo the killer.
Sabdo Kuntjoro...
Where's your promise?
Sri?
How are you, child?
I'm so sorry...
...that you had to become like this to save my granddaughter.
Sri.
As I promised.
We're even now.
Take it.
You deserve it.
Mbah.
Is it true...
...that you started all this?
I once heard an ancient proverb...
...that...
...knowledge can bring you to death.
The longer I live...
...the more I understand what it means.
You...
...cannot know more than this.
Because ignorance is God's gift.
Keep your money.
I'll take my leave.
Sri.
The money from Mbah Karso...
You didn't take it?
It's the right decision.
If you had taken it, you would end up like me.
But you need to be careful.
Mbah Karso will force you to take that money.
How do you know about all of this?
Sabdo Kuntjoro...
...was my master.
The last I heard was he got away.
But that's why...
...he survived this bloody affair.
He was very sad when he lost all of his family.
All of his family?
What do you mean?
All of the Kuntjoro family is dead because of black magic...
...sent by Atmojo family.
The Black Leaf magic.
