## Plot

Long ago, in the great underwater city of Atlantis, a giant magical sea scorpion named Ankaramurka was created with only one purpose: to serve his masters, and creators, the spirits, and Atlanteans. Ankaramurka possesed the mystical link with them, and unflattering loyalty to them. He continued to serve them regardless of any circumastances, and would continue to do it until the very end. Many years had passed, and Atlantis was destroyed by a great earthquake. Many of it's inhabitants perished in the disaster. Those who survived spread across the globe, and either died from hunger, and sickness, were persecuted, and killed, or got infused with humans. Ankaramurka survived, and continued to serve the remaining Atlanteans. Many years passed, and the Atlanteans were nearly extinct. One of the last remaining Atlanteans, an old wizard named Dukun, and his relatives, moved to Sumatra. They gave birth to a girl, and named her Tamal. Several years later, while Tamal was still little, Sumatra was hit by a tsunami, and Tamal's parents were killed by the disaster. After the deaths of her parents, Dukun raised Tamal by himself. Eventually, Tamal became a dark sorceress just like Dukun. Ankaramurka got especially attached to them, and a psychic link was formed between the three. Like other remaining Atlanheans, Tamal, and Dukun hated, and blamed humans for the destruction of their race, and continued their war against humanity. On Tamal's and Dukun's orders, Ankaramurka attacked, and killed many humans. More and more people disappeared, and were killed by Ankaramurka, and the spirits. Ankaramurka attacked, and killed a couple named Julie, and Logan. Eventually, Dukun, and Tamal decide to kill Jermal's inhabitants, and Dukun decides to send Tamal there so she could do it personally. Dukun gives Tamal the Ankaramurka amulet and summons him from his ravine. Ankaramurka awakens and rises from the ravine. Dukun solds Tamal to Harris as a slave. Tamal jorneys to Jermal with Harris and his men while Ankaramurka follows her. Tamal arrives at Jermal, and develops bitter rivalry, and mutual hate relationship with Rudy, and Rizal, but befriends Aris. Ankaramurka begins lurking in the water around Jermal. Tamal was often teased and picked on by Rudy and Rizal, while Aris was often threatened and beaten by Andy. Skylar learns of deaths, and disappearances, and other strange occurences, stories, and myths of Ankaramurka, and rumors of it's sightings, and decides to go search for him. She arrives at Sumatra, and stays at Hotel Garuda. She meets Jack, and Bimo, and hires them, and their boat for her needs. They begin the expedition and prepare to leave Sumatra on a boat. Skylar's student sends her a recording of Julie's and Logan's deaths. Jack, Bimo, and Skylar leave Sumatra, and head to the Jermal. Meanwhile, on a Jermal, Tamal falls asleep during work, and sees a prophetic dream before Andy wakes her up. Andy threatens, and kicks Aris, angering Tamal, who looks at him with hate, and decides to give him what he deserves when the time comes. Rudy tries to take Ankaramurka amulet from Tamal, but she refuses to give it to him. He grabs her by the shirt, and threatens her, but she summons Ankaramurka to her aid. Ankaramurka attacks Rizal, and wounds his arm, distracting Rudy. He quickly forgets about Tamal, leaves her alone, and goes to Rizal's aid. Harris asks them why they ripped the net, and orders them to replace it. Jack, Bimo, and Skylar dock to Jermal. Jimmy sees them, and warns Harris, and others about it. Aris asks Rudy where's Tamal, but he ignores him. Jack meets with Harris, Jimmy, and Andy. Jack and Harris go to his office to discuss business, while Jimmy looks at Skylar and Bimo. Aris realises that Tamal is still down there, calls for her, and goes down to her. Andy notices it, and begins to suspect that they're up to something. Tamal goes to Skylar, intending to ask her to take Aris from the Jermal. Skylar sees Tamal and asks her name. Tamal tells Skylar her story, and asks her to take Aris from Jermal. Since Tamal reminds her of Rebekka, Skylar empathises with her, begins associating her with Rebekka, and decides to help her, not knowing of her nature, and her association with dark magic, spirits, and Ankaramurka. Andy finds out about Aris' escape plan, and attacks him. Harris shoots at Jack, Bimo, and Skylar, distracting Andy and allowing Aris to stab his hand. Andy screams in pain, drops his blade on some piles, and falls in water. Jimmy hits Aris on the head, badly wounding his head, and knocking him unconscious. Ankaramurka drags Andy in the water and kills him. Jimmy takes Aris to a room. Tamal follows them and sits down beside Aris. They then notice Andy's disappearance, and Jimmy begins searching for him. That evening, Jack, Bimo and Skylar return to Sumatra. That night, Jimmy searches for Andy under the Jermal, finds his blade, and sees Ankaramurka in the water. Meanwhile, Aris wakes up, and calls Tamal. She crawls over to him, and places her hand on his shoulder. He tells her that he is not going to make it, and urges her to take his raft, and get out of Jermal. He gives her his knife, and asks her to take it, and to not let Harris and the others stop her. He then tells her to not be afraid of the water, and wants to tell something else, but succumbs to his wounds, and tragically dies. Tamal mourns Aris, and briefly cries over his body before taking his knife in both hands and swearing revenge, while Ankaramurka swims under the Jermal. In the morning, Tamal lights up a candle, and performs a dark ritual over Aris, summoning evil spirits, and casting a curse over Jermal, and it's inhabitants. Tamal comes to Aris' raft, and cuts her belly, dripping blood in the water, and sacrificing it to spirits. Ankaramurka comes to her and arises from the water. He lays his tail on her and somehow impregnates her with several of his children. Harris finds Aris dead, and calls Jimmy. Rudy, Rizal, and Nanung come to them and discuss Aris' death. Tamal enters the room, looks at them with sheerest hate, and quietly calls out Aris' name. Nanung notices her, tells them to be quiet, and that "a brother is coming". They turn around, and look at her. Tamal sits down beside Aris again, and continues to mourn him. Meanwhile, Jack, Bimo, and Skylar stumble upon Andy's body. Jack tells them that Andy was poisoned, and Skylar finds a part Ankaramurka's sting inside him. Fearing for Tamal's safety, Skylar convinces Jack to go back to Jermal and check it out. He reluctantly agrees and they travel there. Nanung goes to toilet and is stalked by Ankaramurka. Ankaramurka drags Nanung into the toilet and kills him. Harris orders Jimmy to dispose of Aris. Jimmy takes Aris from Tamal. Jack, Bimo, and Skylar approach Jermal, and Bimo notices Jimmy carrying Aris outside. Jack, Bimo, and Skylar dock to Jermal, and Skylar and Jack go on it. Skylar begins searching for Tamal while Jack goes to confront Jimmy. Jimmy leaves Andy's blade behind and Jack takes it. Jimmy throws Aris in the water and sees Bimo on a boat. Jack grabs Jimmy from behind and asks him what is going on. Jimmy takes the shotgun from Harris and tries to shoot Jack and Bimo. Skylar hears Ankaramurka in the water. Skylar finds Tamal. Tamal looks at her, and tells her to go away. Rudy finds Skylar together with Tamal. Rizal lights up a cigarette. Rudy takes the cigarette from Rizal and orders Tamal to stand up. She stands up and he orders her to "get cooler or she'll end up like her pussy brother". Tamal hits Rudy in the face, knocking the sigarette out of his mouth. Rudy throws Tamal through a wall, beats her up, and says to Harris that she punched him. Skylar tells that Rudy is lying and that Tamal is sick. Tamal throws up on the floor and stands up again. They finally found out that Tamal is a girl. Harris orders to get Tamal and Skylar out of Jermal. Rudy wants to rape Tamal and tells her to come with him. She reads his intentions, screams "No!" in anger, and summons Ankaramurka, and spirits to her aid. They attack and shake Jermal. Rudy falls under the floor and Ankaramurka rips his legs from his body. Rudy falls in the water and is killed by Ankaramurka. Ankaramurka attacks again. Harris shoots at him, but he shakes it off. Jack and Bimo hear the shots. Harris accidentally drops the shotgun in the water and flees with others. Skylar picks Tamal up and carries her away. Eventually, Ankaramurka stops attacking, and Harris, Jimmy, and Rizal lock Skylar in the storeroom. Rizal goes to check on Nanung and realises that he is dead too. Meanwhile, Jimmy and Harris understand that Tamal and Dukun must have cursed them and that Ankaramurka came with her. They decide to kill Tamal and Harris orders Jimmy to kill and feed her to Ankaramurka, not understanding that he is her ally, and would not eat her. Jimmy stands up, takes out Andi's blade, approaches Tamal, and calls her out, indending to attack and kill her with it. She reads his intentions, stands up, grabs a wooden spike, and summons Ankaramurka and spirits to her aid. Ankaramurka returns again, and saves Tamal by attacking Jimmy. Rizal cames back, telling that Nanung is gone, and sees Ankaramurka attacking Jimmy. Tamal briefly looks at him and returns to guiding Ankaramurka. Jimmy tries to fight back, but Ankaramurka shoots poison in his face. Jimmy stuggers back, and falls on the wodden stake, impailing himself on it. Harris looks at him in shock. Jimmy looks at Harris with the same emotion, falls back in the water, and dies. Harris and Rizal look at Tamal in horror while she looks at them with hate. Harris and Rizal somehow manage to capture, and tie Tamal up, and lower her to the water, trying to feed her to Ankaramurka. Skylar notices an axe, and arms herself with it. She breaks out of the storeroom, and demands Harris, and Rizal to free Tamal. Harris hits her leg with the bottle, breaking it, takes the axe from her, and throws it away.Part of Jermal collapses in water, including the toilet. Jack and Bimo see it. Harris orders Rizal to go, and bring the axe to him. Rizal reluctantly goes to an axe, but falls under the floor in one step from it. Ankaramurka attacks and tears Rizal apart. Harris goes to an axe himself, sees Rizal's head in the water, and picks up the axe. Skylar lifts Tamal from the water and gives her her coat. Harris approaches then, and demands Skylar to bring Tamal to him. She tries to convince him that Tamal has nothing to do with it, but he doesn't believe her. Just as he prepares to attack them with an axe, Ankaramurka climbs up on a Jermal, and Skylar sees him. Harris hears him, turns around, and sees him too. Tamal looks at them. Harris attacks Ankaramurka with an axe and hits him with it between the eyes. Tamal feels it and screams in pain. Ankaramura eventually subdues, and kills Harris. In the end, Tamal succesfully killed all of Jermal's inhabitants, finishing with Harris himself. Jack and Bimo go back to Jermal and see Jimmy and Rudy in the water. Bimo tells Jack that there is only dead on a Jermal and that it is a bad place, but Jack tells him that he must find Skylar regardless, alive or dead. Ankaramura kills Bimo. Jack fights Ankaramurka, but he eventually slices and poisons him with his tail. As a culmination of the ritual Tamal personally kills Ankaramurka seemingly without much remorse or hesitation. Ankaramurka happily gives his life to Tamal and is sincerely happy to die from her. After killing Ankaramurka, Tamal looks at Skylar, and Jack, and spends some time over Ankaramurka's body, briefly mourning him and contemplating her actions. Jack eventually succumbs to Ankaramurka's poison and dies too. While Skylar mourns him, Tamal leaves Ankaramurka amulet on the floor by him, and stealthily leaves Jermal on Aris' raft. Skylar notices her disappearance, and sees the amulet on the floor. She picks it up and sees Tamal in a distance. Despite extensive bloodloss and Ankaramurka's death, Tamal somehow
survives, and makes it back to Dukun. Dukun hides Tamal in a small shack
 behind the house. She cuts her wound open, and begins awaiting the
birth of Ankaramurka's children. Skylar begins searching for Tamal,
wishing to be sure that she's all right, and intending to return her the
 amulet. She eventually tracks Tamal down, and comes to her house. She
meets Dukun, who tells her that Tamal is unwell, and can't speak with
her. He tells her to leave and heads back in house distraught. Skylar
ignores Dukun's warnings and continues seartching for Tamal. She finds
Tamal's shack and sees Aris' raft in front of it. She enters the shack,
finds Tamal inside it, and calls her. Tamal turns around and looks at
her. Skylar takes out the amulet and tries to give it to her. Tamal says
 only one word: "Ankaramurka", and a little scorpion crawls out of her
wound and falls in water with Tamal proclaiming that it is her baby.
Scorpion swims to a disgusted, and horrified Skylar, who promtly stomps,
 and kills it, enraging Tamal. Tamal tells her to stop, and to leave
them alone, and again tells her to go away. This time Skylar heeds her
wish, and flees from the shack, dropping the amulet at it's door. Tamal
laughs, and begins to scream as four more little scorpion crawl out of
her, and begin to exit the shack.
