[indistinct chatter]
[microphone feedback]
[Jimmy] Well,
sorry about that, folks.
It appears our surprise fireworks display has misfired.
-Fireworks? -I don't know.
[Jimmy] It's a shame, I know, but don't let it spoil your evening.
And don't forget to vote number one, Mayor Daffa.
-[cheering] -[upbeat music playing]
I didn't know there was a fireworks display.
There wasn't. I have no idea what the hell that was.
-[Mayor Daffa] What? But-- -It doesn't matter.
This party is far too important. I need to get the vote for you.
If I can't get my plans past the community, they don't go ahead.
They don't go ahead, no money.
No money for me or you. Get it?
Now smile. It's your re-election party.
What are you looking at?
-[groans] -You okay?
It feels like someone stabbed me in the chest.
You know what, we gotta get to the shop. Let's go.
Tyar, check out the crowd.
[shouting in excitement]
No one cares. It's like nothing happened.
The demon is taking control of the town. She's in their minds.
[gasps]
Hello, Zihan. Long time no see.
Keep away from me.
Is that any way you greet an old friend?
I'm just here because I need to tell you something.
You just want to get into my head, you mean.
Ugh, no. Honestly, being inside your head is boring.
You play tough outside, but it's so sugary sweet inside.
-No, thank you. -What do you want?
I just need to borrow your little boy
to do a small job for me.
Don't touch him.
Zihan, I'm hurt. You're so mistrusting.
Oh, it won't take long. He'll be fine, as long as you don't try to interfere.
[gasps]
You do remember what happened the last time you interfered,
don't you, Zihan?
That didn't end well.
So, stay out of it.
[laughs]
The demon will send the angry spirits first.
That's what happened the last time.
The last time?
This has happened before. We'll need to protect ourselves.
How do we protect ourselves from angry spirits?
Is that full of vinegar?
-Yes. -Dibs!
Long story.
Okay, this is crazy.
Vampires, ghosts, fish-men, the dream demon.
This is just crazy.
[Uncle Tan] It's like a war.
Up till now, we've only seen the scouts.
Now the entire army is coming.
Angry spirits, led by the reviled terkutuk.
[Ben] Terkutuk. The Damned?
[Zoe] Great. I mean, what do they want?
To serve the Hutan Lahir.
And she wants Tanah Merah, the Red Earth.
[Mr. Midnight] Ghostly greetings.
[crowd whooping, applauding]
Midnight here.
Gather around, I've got a message for you all.
Yes, welcome, welcome.
It's so good to see so many of you out on such a fantastic night.
If you're still at home, come on down.
I've… [chuckles]
I mean, we have only just begun.
-Time to go. -Wait till you see
what's going to happen later.
-Let's get together. -Lufti.
Real soon.
[Zoe] Nat?
-Zoe, I don't think that's-- -Leave it!
Leave it!
[gasps]
-Boo! -[all gasp]
[laughs]
[Ben and Zoe] Sylvia?
That's not Sylvia.
You should have seen your faces. I wish I had a camera.
The Hutan Lahir is a woman?
The Hutan Lahir is a demon witch.
[Sylvia] What's wrong, Tan?
My yin is too much for your yang?
-[toyol grunting] -[objects clattering]
Oh. Hmm.
Control your creature, Uncle Tan, or I will end it.
-[whistles] -[clattering stops]
Very good.
Is that what I think it is?
The toyol! We can see it?
Of course you can see it. This is my world now.
What else do you want to see? Another toyol maybe?
Or a ghost, or unicorn perhaps, yes?
Unicorn?
No, don't!
Lufti! We have to go. Now.
-I can't. The mayor-- -We have to.
The past has finally caught up with me.
She's back.
-Okay, let's go. -Lufti!
Are you out of your mind? You can't just walk away!
-The money-- -I don't care. My wife needs me.
Maybe we can save some money by cutting your job?
[scoffs]
Are you threatening me?
Maybe somebody else would be better suited doing whatever it is you do!
And maybe I'm getting sick of having to rubber stamp all these dodgy developments.
Maybe I want to see a town with less demolition and more community.
-[sighs] Lufti-- -Oh, yeah,
maybe I should talk to the local news
about how our humble mayor
has suddenly acquired a bank account
that is almost double that of the entire council?
Maybe?
Let's go.
I'm so proud of you.
I want my daughter back.
All in good time, Tan.
First, I need to make sure these young friends of ours
do a little job for me.
What do you want?
I'll tell you when you come to my temple.
I'm coming, too.
Uh-uh. Sorry, premium pass-holders only.
Mr. Midnight cast and crew. You're not it.
You can't stop me.
Would you like to see your daughter now?
What?
Here she is.
[Uncle Tan] Ling?
Ling!
Let her go! Let her go!
[Sylvia laughs]
-Please. Please. -Oh.
Now…
If you do well,
Ling will be released.
-Okay. -Wonderful!
[laughs]
Don't you just love it when we're all in agreement?
I thought you were my friend.
Seriously, honey? I'm a demon witch.
We have higher standards than that.
Wow.
Now, remember, just you and your friends only.
No one else, or she…
dies.
Now, you'll have to excuse me
because I must have a word with my old boss.
-[Ben] What? -Ta-ta!
-She's going after my dad. -Ben, wait! We'll be back.
Uncle Tan, what do we do now?
We have to do as she says.
It's the only way to get Ling back.
But you must prepare.
Prepare what?
You must learn the most powerful of the dukun rituals,
the ritual of binding.
[upbeat music playing]
-Sylvia? -Do you like my new look?
What the hell are you doing?
Well, this is my night in taking off masks.
Where have you been? I've had to set this entire thing up by myself.
Boss, look around. So many masks. You have to choose one.
What are you--
Now do you like my new look?
[gasping]
-Am I a monster? -Yes.
"Brighter future. New tomorrow."
All these big words just to hide the fact
that you're not developing, you're pillaging!
You are the monster.
[whimpering]
Mr. Jimmy.
Sylvia?
I don't think your plan for Tanah Merah is in the community's best interest.
What?
I've decided to take over.
Your services are no longer required.
You may collect your stuff and your belonging and you may leave.
My security guard will escort you out of this world.
-[screams] -[roars]
[panting]
[yells]
[creature growling]
[roars]
Hey, Shrek! Over here!
Ben?
[roaring]
Is now a good time to talk about me staying?
What just happened?
[chanting softly in Bahasa]
[in English] No, it's "raktavahin."
[continues chanting in Bahasa]
[in English] Uncle Tan, what's the point?
I can learn the words, but I need the kris to complete this ritual.
You'll just have to get it back off her somehow.
No problem. We can just ask her nicely.
Practice the incantation again. Come on.
[chanting in Bahasa]
[Zihan, in English] What are you doing?
Were you practicing a binding?
Zihan, it's the only way.
-No, it isn't. -[Tyar] Yes, it is.
She's already been here. We've seen her.
[Zihan] You can't trust her.
We have to work together to defeat her.
No, only Midnighters are allowed in her shrine. Otherwise--
Otherwise, we'll never see Ling again.
No, I forbid it.
Please, Lufti, not now.
Tyar, you can't face her alone. You know what happened the last time.
Ibu, I understand why you tried to protect me.
But I can do this.
Yeah, and he won't be alone.
Yeah. I won't be alone.
-Are you sure? -No, not at all.
I sounded good though, didn't I?
So much like your grandfather.
-Amazing abilities? -No, stubborn.
Well, if we're going to do this,
you're going to need the power of two dukun.
But how? If she knows you're coming--
There are tricks even the Hutan Lahir doesn't know.
[Lufti] Here?
[Zihan] Yes, thank you.
[Lufti] How does it work?
[Zihan] Once inside the circle,
I can make a connection with Tyar.
The bagua mirror will focus my powers to him.
He will be one dukun with the power of two.
And apart from attracting rats, what does the rice do?
Ow!
[Zihan] If the Hutan Lahir finds out,
she will send her creatures to attack and try to break the protection.
-But you are a dukun. -[Zihan] There's nothing I can do.
I must concentrate on the connection.
You and Keat must be our defense. No matter what.
But what happens if the connection is broken?
You don't want to know.
No! No, I wanna know!
What's gonna happen? Is his head gonna explode?
'Cause I don't wanna stand too close if his head's gonna explode.
Guys, guess what? Jimmy K has reconsidered sending me home.
Yeah. Apparently, he felt safer with Zoe around.
She knows how to handle herself.
Okay, we're ready. Uncle Tan?
[Uncle Tan] You can't bring the urn with you.
-[Nat] What? -What?
Where will you hide it?
Once she sees it, she'll know you're trying to trap her in it.
But I need the urn to bind her spirit.
No, you don't.
It just contains her spirit.
With the dukun symbol on it, any vessel can bind her.
Any vessel?
Any size?
[Zihan] Yes.
What about this?
That's perfect.
You need to keep it hidden and spring it at the last minute.
Like a rabbit out of a hat.
Or in the rabbit's hat.
Okay, time to go.
Remember, the demon will try to deceive you at every step.
Trust each other, okay?
Hey.
Stay safe, yeah?
[Nat shudders]
[whooshes]
[grunting]
Sorry about that.
Welcome to my home.
What's wrong with Ling?
Ooh.
Nothing.
She simply lacks her spirit.
[chuckles]
Poor little thing, really.
She got so desperate in finding her mother,
she accidentally used a dukun weapon
and destroyed their protection.
[laughs]
[Nat shuddering]
So her spirit was thrown into the void.
Is she dead?
No.
She is merely empty.
Waiting.
How do we get her back?
Do you want your kris?
Yeah.
Then come and get it.
[chanting in Bahasa]
[in English] Just like that?
Why, yes.
You'll need it.
The only way to get her back is if you open the rift.
[chanting in Bahasa]
[in English] Tyar, no. It's a trick. She means to release the terkutuk.
[gasps softly]
No.
No?
No, I won't do that.
Oh, that's a shame.
[cackling]
Such a pretty little thing, isn't she?
Oh, she'll stay like this forever then.
Yes?
Well?
Uh-huh.
Go on.
[Hutan Lahir laughs]
[Hutan Lahir sighs]
[chanting in Bahasa]
[in English] Now where's my friend?
Let me call her for you.
[chanting in Bahasa]
[gasps]
[crowd shouting, clamoring]
[in English] I don't think she's calling Ling.
[gasping]
[Tyar] Ling!
Tyar!
-Ling. -Tyar. Tyar!
Tyar, you must close it.
She's not only calling the spirits. The terkutuk are coming.
No, no, I can't.
Tyar!
No, I can't. Ling's spirit is close.
You are not alone.
I told you to not interfere, Zihan!
She's sending spirits here.
-[Lufti] What can spirits do? -Plenty.
I don't think these are normal spirits.
Correct. These spirits are angry. Their rage gives them strength.
You need to step inside the rice circle.
[spirits growling]
Tyar, you must close the rift. You must close the rift. Now!
[screaming]
You must close it!
-Tyar! -Ling!
[straining]
[Hutan Lahir] You want to close the rift now?
If you do it, she will be trapped forever.
We have to help her!
[Tyar] Ling!
[snarling]
Tyar! Tyar! Tyar!
Tyar!
[laughs]
Tyar! No!
[Zoe grunting]
Your friends…
[groaning]
[all groan]
You look so tired.
She is in your mind, Tyar.
You have to push her out!
[spirits shouting]
It's working, the spirits can't cross the rice circle.
[shouting stops]
[Jikininki] I can.
I am not a spirit.
Pain.
-[toyol grunting] -[Jikininki screaming]
There is no more time, Tyar. You must close the rift, now!
[gasps]
You must bind her, now!
[exhales]
[snarling]
No.
No!
[chants in Bahasa]
[in English] What have you done?
You! You think I'm finished, you little pretend dukun?
I'm just getting started with your friends.
Ling, I'm so sorry.
[breathing heavily]
You will be.
I'm gonna have so much fun tormenting all of your friends.
[Zoe] I've changed my mind.
I don't want to be your friend anymore.
What are you talking about?
She's distracting you. Tyar!
[gasps]
Bind her! Now, while she's not ready!
Now!
Do it, Tyar!
Now!
[both chanting in Bahasa]
[in English] No!
[growling]
[chanting in Bahasa]
[in English] No!
[chanting in Bahasa]
[screaming]
[grunting]
[Nat, in English] Take it. Take it, take it!
[Lufti] Hey. Zihan, hey! You okay?
[gasps]
He did it.
And Ling?
I--
[breathing heavily]
-[Ben] Ling? -[Zoe] Ling! Are you okay?
-Are you okay? -Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
-Is… Is she in? -[panting]
Tyar.
Then… Then who's that?
-[thunder rumbles] -[rain pattering]
-Is it good? -Yum. Yes!
Try more of those.
I am absolutely going for it.
Yes, okay but hurry back. Everyone's already here.
Well, you know, I'm sure the council has other people to clean up their mess.
[chuckles]
Okay. Yes, okay, darling. Mm. Bye.
So, how is she?
Uh, it will take some time. She doesn't want to talk about it.
[Zihan] Mm.
So, how's Sylvia? The real Sylvia?
-Who is the real Sylvia anyway? -Well, we won't know until she wakes up.
She's still in a coma.
I wonder how long the Hutan Lahir possessed her.
Mm. I wonder.
[laughter]
So… Wait, so what was it like on the other side?
[sighs]
It was like being frozen in a lake of ice
with only your fingertips and face above the surface.
You can hear other people around you,
but you can't even turn around to see them.
It was so cold and lonely.
Everything aches when you're cold.
So, like, not good. Right?
[exclaims] What the…
Oh, thanks.
We're all going to have our work cut out for us,
returning all of those angry spirits back to the spirit world.
Huh?
Because that's what we do.
We're Mr. Midnight. All of us.
You… You still want to do this?
Sure do. Yep?
You bet.
Ling?
That's what we do.
And we will need a dukun. Do you want the job?
[all laughing]
Hey, I heard you were pretty good at Mr. Midnight.
Do you want the job?
I mean, I can get out of retirement. Okay, here comes Mr. Midnight.
-No! -Keep it down, Midnighters.
-No, I don't want to hear that. -Keep it down.
Not again!
[all clamoring]
[Uncle Tan] I haven't seen it for a few days,
which is not unusual.
Toyols have been known to wander off occasionally.
I'm sure it will turn up soon.
We should get rid of it.
What? I thought you liked it.
-He likes you. -Does it really?
Horrible little creature.
[scoffs] Daughter!
Look, I… I'm actually not that tired. I'm gonna go for a walk.
Do you think that's wise? There's still--
Stop fussing. I'm gonna be okay, okay? Don't worry.
Bayi?
[footsteps approaching]
[growling]
