Alone

Happy Birthday!

Surprise!

!Happy Birthday to you!

!Happy Birthday to you!

!Happy Birthday to you!

Fool, what are you playing with?

You gave me a start!

Was that fun, scaring me?

Do you want some cake?

Thank you.

Wee.

She doesn't want you to get fat.

He got diabetes.

Come on, just a little.

A little bit only.

Lucky.

You are beginning to understand others.

but not about yourself.

Your lost things.

will be found...

Was there something you lost..

.. A long time ago?

No.

Maybe...

It's not a thing, but

maybe just someone.

And there will be a cost.

Hey, her predictions can't be trusted.

Before I was told I'll have a partner soon,

but so far, I am still single.

The interpretation is imprecise.

You are lovely Khan.

If I was so lovely I could get boy

as good looking as Wee.

Just a moment.

Are you still scared of injections?

Yes.

All done.

I'll tide this up first.

Hello.

Just a minute.

Pim...

Telephone.

Pim.

She's Busy, can I help?

Where are you right now?

Pardon?

What is it?

Pim.

The hospital in Thailand called,

to say your mother is sick.

Shall we go back?

If I hadn't come here,

maybe it wouldn't have happened.

What is up Pim?

I don't want to go back there..

Since Ploy died.

I don't want to live in

that house anymore.

Do yo think I'm selfish?

Not at all!

If I hadn't wanted the operation,

maybe Ploy wouldn't have died.

Pim, it was the operation.

it wasn't your fault!

No one plans to be born that way.

The patient can't get up today.

and she can't speak.

This type of brain injury

causes this type of effect.

So we have to wait for

it to heal a little.

before we can be sure of the outcome.

Mother.

Mother.

She is healing now.

and maybe tomorrow she

will be better.

We can visit again then.

Oh Pim!

This was Ploy's favourite song.

Ploy.

Madam.

I have finished everything,

Can I go home now?

You don't stay here?

No Madam.

Well, you can stay here?

It will be less trouble for you.

Never mind Madam.

It's better that I go home.

Wee... Wee!

What is up?

Wee.

What is it?

What is it?

Mother.

What happened mom?

What is it?

What mom?

Apologies madam,

I just need to give an injection.

Noi.

What exactly happened to my mom?

Why is she so sick?

I really don't know madam.

Since you came to work here,

how has my mom been?

Noi.

Well...

I didn't know what was wrong.

She just kept herself in the room,

Crying.

Sometimes I felt that,

she was scared of something.

Scared of what?

Doctor, how's my mother?

Now she's stable.

But she had a relapse.

Miss... Miss?

Is something wrong, Miss?

Pim.

Are you tired?

You can go home if you want.

I'll wait here.

Never mind Wee.

The patient is very sick,

but I can't say how bad.

When she will feel better?

I can't answer that yet.

because it depends on her

will to survive.

Lucky.

Lucky.

Lucky.

Lucky.

Lucky.

Lucky.

Lucky.

Lucky.

Lucky.

What is it?

Pim!

Pim! Open the door!

Pim!

Pim, what happened?

what happened?

Finished.

Pim.

What is it?

Why did you wound yourself?

Pim.

What is the problem?

I keep seeing my twin.

What do you mean?

I feel she is around me

all the time...

I don't understand.

How could you see her?

Ploy is dead already.

It's her!

I think about it too much.

Pim.

Maybe you should see a doctor?

Wee.

I'm not crazy.

How are you?

Ok, Thank You.

I haven't seen you for a long time.

That's right, a long time.

How is everything?

Well...

Ah.. Pim.

This is Danai.. an old friend.

Hello.

Before I went to Korea,

we were best friends.

About 10 years ago, isn't it?

Yes, about 10 years.

A long time eh?

So, how did you meet again?

Oh, Wee called to invite me.

How's your work right now?

Busy, bacause I work in two jobs.

and there are many sick people.

What type of Doctor are you?

I'm a psychiatrist.

Pim.

So you think I'm crazy uh?

Pim.

Pim, just listen first.

Pim.

Let me explain!

Pim!

Lucky!

Lucky.

Pim.

Well, the condition of your brain,

is generally good.

I have a few pictures

for you to look at..

and I want you to help me,

by telling me what you see.

OK?

Batman.

If I answer like that,

it means I'm crazy right?

If I answer a butterfly,

then I'm fine, right?

Coming to see a Psychiatrist,

doesn't mean you're crazy.

It's not so serious.

and we can cure it easily.

Wee is very worried about you.

I don't want you to be like that.

So just tell me what happened.

We used to be together permanently.

So why did you have the separation?

OK, so I think that's

enough for today.

I'll prescribe some medication..

It's useless.

It can't help me at all!

It's a type of psychosis.

People with this condition,

Can't see the difference

between reality and imagination.

and allied with guilt feelings,

creates these visions.

Can it be cured?

Oh yes.

This condition is easily cured.

Taking her back to Korea

could be enough.

But I think we'll be here

for some time.

I just don't know when

her mother will be recover.

So if I take her away

somewhere for a while,

It'll help her recover.

I made some food for you.

Eat it all.

Is it good?

Delicious eh?

Pim, this is really nice.

Pim.

Pim.

Pim.

What is it, Pim?

Pim.

Pim.

Pim.

Help me feel good,

or she might come.

Pim hasn't improved.

We need to go back to Korea

as soon as possible.

That's probably for the best.

And please,

Don't think I'm crazy too, OK?

but did you ever hear,

that twins,

if one of them dies,

the other has to die too?

Pim told me..

Ply has come to take her life?

Wee, it's just a superstition!

No way a twin could affect

the other this way.

But I think,

it's just sympathy

for the one that died.

for the one that died.

Only that.

Wee.

What's up?

Nothing.

I thought you went

to the hospital again.

I bought some food for you.

Let's go eat.

As for the patient,

If you want to transfer her to Korea,

I can't approve,

it's too soon.

We should wait a little longer.

Thank you.

I'd better go.

Yes.

Mother...

Mother what's wrong?

Pim.

Wee.

It's not safe until she's gone.

It's not safe until she's gone.

Listen.

This ghost you see, is a

figment of your imagination.

For example Mickey Mouse.

You can imagine him, but

he's not real.

The brain has a part,

the part linked to the emotions.

it's almost like,

things we wish for

can really happen.

you continue to see your sister,

because you are still

emotionally connected.

Didn't you say you'd seen

her in the mirror.

Take a good look.

Right now, who do you see?

Pim.

Pim.

Come on.

It's a result of your

decision to separate?

Pim, you don't have to feel

guilty about that decision.

Two people together permanently

throughout their lives,

is unusual and bound to

create some disagreements.

We quarrelled fiercely.

Ploy didn't want the operation.

Did you ever think she was a burden?

No, I never thought that.

Pim, it's not wrong to want

a private life.

I...

caused her death.

If you can stop punishing yourself,

you'll not stop seeing her
