The Invisible Guest

-Good afternoon, Ms. Mawar. -Good afternoon.

I'm Reza, the lawyer Mrs. Widyawati sent.

-Please come in. -Thanks.

Sorry for the mess. I haven't cleaned the place up yet.

-Have a seat. -Yes.

Just a moment.

Okay.

The family of Yoshi Adikara, the photographer found dead at a hotel,

have asked the police to conduct a serious investigation.

The primary suspect, Mawar Yustisia, was the victim's girlfriend

who recently received an award

for the best start-up company in Southeast Asia.

Mawar claims that she's innocent...

Sorry. I thought we're going to meet later this afternoon.

Yes, but I thought the sooner the better.

I tried to contact Mrs. Widya, but she couldn't be reached.

She's out of town.

She found a new piece of evidence for…

Your defense.

-Right. -Yes.

She told me.

Unfortunately, she hasn't kept up with today's latest development.

What development?

The police said

they found a key witness who will incriminate you.

We still don't know the identity. But one thing's for sure,

the testimony will help the prosecutor bring this case to trial.

We have two hours to form a new strategy to counter the new testimony.

I've told everything to Mrs. Widya.

But your statement raises a lot of questions.

It's not detailed enough.

-What other details do you need? -Anything.

I need as much ammunition as possible to defend you.

Mrs. Widya hired me as your lawyer because I've never lost a case.

Why?

Because I always notice the little things.

I'm expecting your cooperation

to relate as much as possible, in detail, and in honesty.

You think I'm not being totally honest?

I've been under house arrest for days.

I can't go anywhere. I can't see my family.

My face is all over the TV.

And you say I'm not being honest enough?

House arrest can turn into imprisonment if you don't stop complaining.

You pay me by the minute, so don't waste my time.

Tell me everything honestly, in detail.

Shall we start now?

My first question is how did you end up in the room with the victim?

Someone told us to go there.

It had been months since Yoshi and I last met.

We needed to go to the hotel

because this person was threatening and blackmailing us.

This person asked for a billion rupiah.

So, it was easier to pay that amount of money,

than getting a divorce for adultery

and dividing up your assets?

I have no intention of divorcing my husband.

I love my husband and my child.

Why Lembang, then?

There are many hotels in Jakarta.

I don't know.

Why did that person choose that specific location?

If it's just to retrieve the money...

this person could've chosen any hotel downtown or in Jakarta.

I don't know.

Is the location that important?

Have you ever gone to that hotel with your partner?

Why do you digress?

I am being set up.

I was threatened and blackmailed.

Can you focus on that?

Ms. Mawar, I think we need to focus on a lot of things.

Every last detail is important.

Okay. I'll change my question to you.

How did you receive that message?

We had been waiting for two hours.

Then I got the message.

What does it say?

The message is from your phone. Your phone is with him.

Something's wrong.

Maybe this is a trap.

Let's get out of here.

I was knocked unconscious.

I didn't know for how long.

What happened after you came to?

What is the first thing you remember?

The sound of the doorbell.

The knock on the door. It was so loud.

Excuse me. I'm from the hotel.

Is there a problem?

Excuse me.

Yoshi?

Ms. Mawar, is there any trouble?

Yoshi! Yoshi.

Ma'am, stand up!

Sir, help me.

Stay away from him! Put your hands up!

Sir, help me.

Get away from there!

Help me, sir.

Hurry!

Someone hit my friend.

Quiet!

-Help my friend. -Face the wall.

-Help my friend. -Now!

Face the wall, ma'am.

Please help my friend!

Quiet!

Please help my friend!

According to the police record,

there was a scream from inside the room,

but nobody left.

The room was locked from the inside.

It couldn't be opened from outside unless it was broken into.

The windows were also locked from the inside.

The hotel keeps the upper floor windows locked permanently.

There was no evidence of any attempt to forcibly open them.

The forensic team found no evidence

of someone trying to escape the room.

So, let's say we believe your statement,

that someone else was in the room

and this person struck you and your partner,

how did the attacker escape?

Just vanish into thin air?

That's right.

You mean, the intruder was a ghost?

No, not a ghost.

I know there was someone else inside that room.

How could this individual get out? How did he get in?

The CCTV clearly shows

that only you and your friend walked down that hall towards the room.

The police have checked with the hotel management.

The access key to the room was held

only by you and the hotel management.

Check the hotel management, then.

Maybe an employee's gone rogue.

I'm being framed, you know.

To what end?

Maybe to destroy my career.

By getting it out that I had an affair with Yoshi

and that I was scared we got caught, so I killed him.

Isn't that what's trending on social media right now?

Who would try to set you up?

I don't know.

All I know is my husband left with my daughter

and I have to face this all alone.

And the perpetrator got away, so all the focus is on me instead.

So, you're saying

the attacker was someone else

and this person set you up inside the room

-to destroy your reputation? -Yes.

But you told the police that you have no enemies.

That's because I don't know who to suspect.

I'm a positive-thinking person. I never considered that I had any enemies.

Here's the thing.

It's not my job to find the perpetrator. That's the police's job.

Mrs. Widya's and your job is to defend me.

An invisible killer.

That's what we're going to push?

What other statement do you want me to give?

Ms. Mawar, I've been a lawyer for 20 years.

And I've found that there are only two types of clients.

The first kind is those who can cooperate

and admit to their wrongdoing

although they know that there's a possibility of losing in court.

The second type is those who think they're smarter than me.

They use us, lawyers, to clean up the mess they made.

I think you're the second type.

Let me emphasize this.

No sin goes unpunished.

Even God only grants forgiveness after you admit what you've done.

And one more thing.

You're no smarter than me.

What if the key witness has something to do

with the death of this kid?

NEW BANK EMPLOYEE, DITO PRAKOSO, GOES MISSING

What's this?

You've wasted ten minutes.

If you want me to help you clear your name,

don't lie.

I mean, what does this newspaper clipping have to do with my case?

I received information

that your name is connected to this kid's disappearance.

So, now it's up to you.

It happened three months ago.

-Hello, honey. -Hi, sweetie. How's Beijing?

It's cold here.

I mean, how's the meeting going?

It's going great.

Some things still need to be discussed.

Pray that it all goes just right.

Are you coming straight home to Jakarta or Bandung first?

Jakarta, of course.

Hold on, sweetie.

Aliyah, here's your mom.

Hello?

Mom.

Mom.

Hello, honey.

Kiss Mom.
