9 Wat (Nine Wats aka Secret Sunday) Page #2

---

Let's stop at a service station.

We've just gone past two.

Stop at the next one. I need to pee.

I'm not sure if there's one coming up.

So, can you pee on the roadside?

Will you come and pray to the Buddha?

Be my guest.

Hey! Shoo! Shoo!

That looks fun.

- Wanna try it?

- No.

Poon,

let's go.

We're running late.

Are you sure you're not going to pray

to the Buddha?

Come on, pay respect, will you?

See, we've got 2 temples now.

It's like a rally, collection points.

So we're going to stop

and pee at every temple?

They must've been on their way to the temple.

JOOP:

When I was a child I wanted to go swimming

like the other children.

Remember when you took me out on a boat

and we almost drowned?

MOM:

Yeah.

That was a long time ago.

You stink of tobacco.

Who was it on the phone?

Tang, she told me to hand in a story.

Now we've got 3 temples.

Cheater.

Look, a temple! Our fourth!

- Let me do it!

- No!

Hey.

You cheated again!

Sh*t!

That's the bull's eye!

A**hole, how's that?

Nat, don't follow them.

Nat.

Don't do it!

Nat.

Don't do it!

Die and burn in

hell all of you!

- Three thousand?

- 3pm.

- Tomorrow?

- Of course tomorrow.

You think it can be done today?

I can't wait that long.

I'm a mechanic, not a Santa Claus.

What if we push on to Phitsanulok?

At 40km/h the windshield's gonna come off.

So?

You think you have a choice?

OK... 3pm tomorrow... Don't be late.

I'd have told you if I'd be late.

We'll have to find a hotel.

Looks like it.

And the monk?

I can spend the night at one

of the temples around here.

Two left turns and a right.

Straight on for 200 meters

and you'll see a temple.

It's too far to walk.

Drive the monk there first,

then come back and leave the car here.

This sucks. This sucks.

I'll pick you up tomorrow

after the car is ready.

Won't you come down to pray to the Buddha?

It could be your fifth temple.

- What a shot... straight in.

- You never lose your touch.

- Oh ho...

- In again... If I missed...

Sweet!

Gonna get cleaned out for sure!

My turn.

Which ball are you aiming for?

A piece of cake.

Put it back on the table.

I let the senior citizens

have a good time winning.

One more beer please.

Coming right up.

Your girlfriend is pretty.

Would you like to be in my shoes?

Young love.

How long have you been seeing each other?

- A year.

- Yeah.

Do you think a year is a long time?

- No.

- Yes.

If any man can stick with me for three days,

they'll close the village

and throw a carnival.

I'm going out for a cigarrette.

Can you get that for me?

Where are you going next?

Chiang Mai. To see some friends.

A shot of tequila please.

This girl is wild.

What's the hurry?

Ok, cheers!

...cheers

Cheers!

Pretty strong huh?

Please take a seat.

Cherry, take care of that table.

You know, sometimes I want to play the floozy

who picks up men instead of just waiting.

But I'm a nice and shy lady.

Would you need a trainer?

She's a pro... the kind you only

need small quantities of.

A predator like me

doesn't have to go hunting.

I just wait and some

man will take the bate.

Easy, you guys.

Nat!

Nat!

Nat!

Nat!

Nat!

Poon,

are you alright?

- How are you?

- Do you hear me?

- Can you get up?

- Slowly.

Was there a blackout?

Just briefly. But then

you fell hard on your back.

Why are you carrying me up the stairs?

The lift is right there.

I wouldn't get to feel you up

if we'd taken the lift.

I'll go take a shower.

Do you love me?

Are you ok?

Please leave you message...

Are you pregnant?

I'll stick my foot in your face!

We'd like to invite your Reverence

to preside over Pued's funeral.

His relative want to have

the rite performed at the house.

Not at the temple.

The local monks are busy

with two other functions.

I hope there's a monk

to go to the funeral.

Monk,

we're leaving.

It shouldn't take longer than an hour.

You can go inside with me

or come pick me up later.

The stone-thrower!

No, Nat!

A**hole!

Why are you coming after me?

Prick, don't run.

Where's the rest of your gang?

If you dare, come and get me.

A**hole!

Go to hell!

- Take him.

- What happened?

- Get an antiseptic.

- Looks like an axe wound.

Nat!

- How did he fall?

- Nat!

Make room please.

What happened?!

Nat, what happened?

Here it is.

Nat, whet happened?!

Do you have something to wipe the blood?

When did you find him?

A while ago.

Nat,

what happened last night?

I ask you what happened to you!

Are you deaf?

You're always like this!

You never opened up to me. You never

told me what's on your mind. Never.

- Not even once?

- Never.

You think by shutting up

all your troubles will go away.

You always keep everything to yourself.

Haven't you said enough?

What's the point of having me?

Please don't die!

Please don't die!

Please don't die!

Please don't die!

- Please don't die!

- I'll take it.

Nat.

We must find some help.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.

Please don't die!

Anybody here?

We need help.

Anybody here?

We need some help.

Is there a vetinarian around here?

It's too late.

Nothing can be done,

there would only be more suffering.

Which temple?

Hua Kuang temple.

It's next to a museum in Nan.

Going for a smoke?

No, I want to pray.

Why don't you take Poon inside?

Lady,

after finishing your prayers,

perform a libation and consign merit

to the souls from your past lives.

Are you sure?

Today the builders are coming from town

to help us repair the prayer hall.

Daeng can be his apprentice.

Yes...

Don't run away from the temple again.

It's best for you

to stay close to holy people.

- Mom!

- Didn't I tell you? Brat!

- Mom! /- Didn't I tell you not

to mess with my business?!

I'm hurt! Mom!

You never listened!

Poon.

Poon, whats wrong?

- Poon, what's wrong?

- Get out!

What's wrong?

Poon.

Poon.

I saw something.

Poon! What's wrong?

What's happening to me?

I saw a ghost, really.

And I had this horrible hallucination.

What do I have to do?

Have you ever seen a bloodhound?

It'll pursue its prey to the end.

No matter how far you run,

no matter how long you run

the bloodhound will always find you.

Karma is that bloodhound.

Nonsense.

What did I do?

What did I do to other beings?

Because I killed that calf?

Karma is beyond our understanding.

It's beyond our capacity to comprehend.

How it works is beyond rational thought.

This is a load of crap.

What did you see?

Tell me!

What's wrong with me?

Poon,

reach into your back pocket

and see what you have in there.

It's the fortune slip you got

from the temple in Uthai Thani.

Remember what it says?

By the way...

Nat has asked me to ride with him.

But it's my intention to come along.

It's no coincidence that the three

of us are on this journey.

So what now?

What was that I saw?

The answer lies ahead of us.

We have to continue the journey,

to Bo Kleu.

That's enough.

Why?

Poon!

Why do we have to go there? What's

going on there? Why do I have to...
