JRAGUNG MARKET
This is how you make a ball.
Tie it tightly.
- It's done. Let's play! - Yeah!
- Let's go. - Abdi!
Be home before sunset, okay?
Yes, Dad!
Let's go!
It's getting dark. Let's go back.
We'll go later. You guys can go.
Come on then.
Come on, let's go home.
Oh, no.
Gosh, where did you kick it, Tris?
I think it's over here.
Let's leave it and come back tomorrow. It's already dark.
Oh, come on, you.
Abdi, Sutrisno.
Come here.
Whose voice is that?
Come here.
Hey, my ball!
Tris! Gosh.
Oh, dear.
Tris!
Sutris! Where are you?
Dad! Dad, help! It's Sutrisno!
Dad!
- Abdi, where is he? - Over there.
- Come on then. - Come on!
Whose blood is this?
Over here in the river!
The river! Let's go!
The river. Go, hurry up!
Trisno!
My son!
Trisno, my son!
I insist.
We need to punish this boy.
He pushed my son off the cliff.
Don't you dare accuse him!
Dad, it was a girl.
A girl smashed Sutrisno's head with a rock.
What girl?
Every child was already at home.
It wasn't me, Sir. I swear!
Please believe me.
You murderer!
Wait!
I believe you.
Mr. Sabdo?
That girl is still around.
Who do you mean?
Sumala.
Sumala?
Sumala.
The Devil's child.
It all started 29 years ago.
Meneer Hansen sends his regards.
He's glad that his daughter, your wife, Soelastri,
is taken care of and living in luxury.
Please send him back my regards.
Yes. Soelastri is my precious diamond.
I'll never let go of her.
You know your uncle and aunt
have given most of their land
for the development of our area.
The people from the factory have prepared everything.
All they need now is your land.
Uncle.
We've talked about this many times.
Yet you haven't made a decision.
If you want to give it now,
we can still write up an agreement, and you…
can still get partial profit from the factory.
I've told you again and again, Uncle.
I will never sell my land to anyone.
It belongs to the Hasungkara family!
Here.
All the documents you need.
I've taken care of the permit.
Read it carefully.
Wow.
Uncle and Meneer.
Why didn't you tell us you were visiting?
We could have prepared rooms for you.
Here you go, dear.
I'm not staying long.
Your husband knows why I'm here.
All right then, Uncle.
Please enjoy.
Please help yourself, Meneer.
Wrap up what you need to say, Uncle.
If only my wife were like Soelastri.
In 11 years of marriage,
I would have had eight children
to secure the rights for the land.
So, whether it is now or later without a will,
I can take over all of the land that belongs to Hastungkara.
Time is our enemy, Soedjiman.
Did your uncle give you a hard time again?
Don't wear that kebaya anymore.
Throw it away if needed.
I don't like it.
You gifted it to me, dear.
Where were you this morning?
The sun was up.
The market must have been crowded.
I went to get a herbal drink for my womb.
In a couple of months, I…
Find another way.
Please give me more time.
Why don't you let me talk to your uncle?
- Dear. - What? What do you want?
Do you really think
that I can't face my greedy uncle?
- That's not what I mean. - All this estate…
…that I inherited from my parents.
It is my hard work.
I will never give it away to my greedy uncle.
Do you understand?
- Dear. - I'm okay.
I can stand on my own.
You…
…take care of your womb.
Having a child
was also one of my parents' wishes.
If by next year
you still can't give me an heir,
I shall…
marry again.
- Hurry up. - Why are you in such a rush?
Did you forget? My wife can't get pregnant.
- She can't get pregnant? - Yeah.
Then what?
I have to take her to Grandma Tukinah in the other village.
Who is Grandma Tukinah?
An old lady who can make people pregnant.
Does it really work?
My wife says so.
- Really? - Yes.
- Seriously? - Yes.
This is Pak Yanto who will take you across.
Madam.
Mr. Yanto?
Can you take these ladies across, Sir?
Ma'am?
Someone wants to see you.
Are you aware
that asking me for help
is not like asking other shamans for help?
My powers are different.
Black magic.
And you need to do a ritual.
This is a serious matter.
With this ritual,
you will be bound to my master.
Master?
Who is your master?
My master is…
the Devil.
If you want,
you can have two children at once.
Two?
But if you don't, it's all right.
I do.
There is a requirement.
What is it?
You will get pregnant with twins.
One will be beautiful and kind. From the human race.
And the other,
will be ugly and wicked. From the Devil's race.
When they are born,
you and your husband must take care of them
until they are ten years old.
After that,
the ugly and wicked child will leave.
She'll be taken by her owner.
Yes.
The Devil himself.
However…
if you do not take care of them properly,
bad things will happen to your family.
Each year it will get worse.
Day and night will never be the same.
Oh, Devil.
There is a human here
who wants your help.
Unite her
with you.
Give her what she wants.
Bind her with you.
This woman now serves you.
In two months,
you will get pregnant.
TWO MONTHS LATER
Yes, you are pregnant.
You're pregnant with twins, Madam.
Thank you, darling.
Grandma Tukinah is amazing, isn't she?
