Honey?
I can't breathe.
Hang in there.
- My back hurts. - I know.
I know it hurts.
Hang in there. I know you can. Okay?
I'm here for you. Hang in there.
You're getting weaker and weaker.
And there's nothing I can do about it.
It's all right, honey.
Honey?
If I don't...
If I don't make it...
at least one of us will survive.
- You have to get out of here. - Ajeng.
We're getting out of here together, okay?
We're getting out together.
- I don't think I can. - You can.
You can.
You're stronger than you know, Jeng.
We're both gonna make it.
5 HOURS BEFORE
Ajeng?
Honey.
Honey.
Hey.
Still can't breathe?
Is it that bad?
Is the inhaler working?
It's almost empty.
Shall we go to the doctor?
You didn't buy a new one?
No, I didn't.
Let me call Dr. Santoso.
Hello, Doc?
Ajeng's asthma is acting up.
Okay, we'll be right there.
Okay.
Let's go. We're going to Dr. Santoso's clinic.
Can you walk?
Come on, I'll help you.
Come on.
Careful. Slowly.
Let's go. Let me help you.
Watch your head.
I'll go get a pillow.
Still can't breathe?
No.
Mom is worried about your condition.
You need to stop writing so late into the night.
I need to finish my novel.
You shouldn't have picked an off-the-grid house either.
It's too far from the hospital. Too far from everywhere.
Honey.
We've discussed this dozens of times.
You said you agreed with my decision.
But not when we're in such a situation.
Not when it's pouring like this.
I'm sorry.
Honey!
What's wrong?
Honey.
Let me check it out.
Hang on to something!
What happened?
Ajeng?
Ajeng?
Ajeng?
Ajeng?
Ajeng?
Ajeng?
Ajeng?
Hey.
Are you okay?
- Are you okay? - Where are we?
We're buried in a landslide.
- My door's stuck. - I know.
Help!
Help!
Help!
This can't be happening.
Okay. Calm down, Jeng.
Calm down.
Take a deep breath.
It's almost empty.
Oh, God.
- Just calm down. - Honey.
Calm down, I'll get us out of here.
Help!
Can anyone hear us honking?
I don't think so.
I don't think so. It's raining hard outside.
Plus no one's usually around at this hour.
Are you telling me we're stuck here?
Help!
Wait, where's my phone?
Hang on.
Where's my phone?
Your phone?
I didn't bring mine.
Shit.
- I must've left it at home. - You did?
I remember calling Dr. Santoso.
Then I put it on the table.
Help!
Help!
We need some fresh air.
Or we'll both suffocate in here.
- Honey. - Yes?
My chest is starting to hurt.
- Hang on. - It's so hot in here.
Hang in there.
Let me try rolling down the window. We might get some air.
It's not working.
Ajeng?
I can roll it down a bit.
I can roll it down a bit.
We've got some air. Right?
Ajeng, it's no use.
- No one's gonna hear us. - Someone might.
They won't. Ajeng.
It's no use. You'll just drain the battery.
We don't want to sit here in the dark.
There, there.
I'm sorry.
If I wasn't
so stubborn...
I should've listened to you
and lived closer to the city.
I should have...
Let's not talk about it.
It's not your fault. This is an accident. Okay?
There, there.
We'll get through this together, okay?
We bought a house in the middle of nowhere
so I could work in peace.
So that...
I could finish my novel.
It's okay.
You'll finish your novel soon. Don't worry about that now.
We'll get through this together, okay?
Okay?
There, there.
It's all right.
What happened?
Honey, turn on the light.
I can't.
The battery's dead.
- Or short-circuited. - Turn on the light.
I can't.
Where did you get that?
Remember when I told you that someday this flashlight would come in handy?
I remember.
When I put it in the car you said...
You said,
"What's that for? There are lights in the car."
Yeah, you're right.
And you said,
"You'll need it if you have to change a tire at night."
Right?
And then...
And then you said...
"Why are you praying for bad things to happen to me?"
But I just wanted you to be prepared.
So in the end we did need this flashlight.
Honey?
Maybe this is what it feels like to be buried.
What makes you say that?
I'm just afraid of the dark.
But then
when I'm dead and buried, it will be dark in my grave, right?
That's enough.
Let's not talk about death.
It doesn't help our situation, okay?
What if no one comes for us?
Someone will, I know it.
How do you know that?
At least let's try to survive this.
We can do it together.
Don't give up, okay?
I just want to be prepared for the worst-case scenario.
Help is surely on the way.
Stop playing with the flashlight.
Honey,
even if...
Even if help doesn't come, promise me you'll stay here with me.
- Will you promise me that? - I promise.
I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere.
- Turn off the flashlight. - No.
- Save the battery. - It's dark.
Don't be afraid, I'm here.
No.
You'll drain the battery.
- Well... - Save the battery.
- You can turn it back on later. - No.
You can turn it on every five to ten minutes.
When I put...
When I put this flashlight in here,
I also put new batteries. I can't remember where.
Oh, yeah?
