- Come on Jules, I need a bed.

- You had your little

fun, I'm gonna have mine.

- It's not gonna

be too far from here.

- Jules--

- stop it.

This is so beautiful.

- Yeah, I think

this is it, guys.

If you two wait here,

we'll go and check it out.

- We'll wait.

- What?

It's better than making out

with some slut in a club.

- I didn't make out with anyone.

- Well the lipstick stain on

your mouth says different.

- What?

They came at me.

I was gone five minutes.

- Yeah, long enough.

- Long enough for you to

snuggle up next to Billy.

You wanna tell me what

that was all about?

- What are you talking about?

- Come on, I saw you two

starin' at each other.

You were havin'

some kinda moment,

so what the hell was that?

- Nothing.

He's a gentleman, or at least

knows how to act like one.

- A goddamn chimney sweeper,

or whatever the f*** it

is they do over there.

- No, don't project

your guilt on me.

- Hurry up, we haven't got long.

Have you got it?

- I don't like this.

- Hurry up.

- Look.

- Have you got it?

Just give me it.

- All this is on you.

- You crossed a

line tonight, Jim.

How am I supposed to trust--

- baby.

- How am I supposed

to marry you?

You know what?

- No, no--

- you can go f***

whoever you want.

- Ju, Julie.

- This is incredible,

what is this place?

- It's basically a

ghost house graveyard.

They're too scared

to destroy 'em.

So when the townies

are done with them,

the older ghost

houses end up here.

I wonder if they

give the wee ghosties

an eviction notice.

- Just don't touch

anything, okay?

- I'm just taking photos.

- You're not scared

of ghosts, are you?

Hey look, she's a

beauty, ain't she?

- No, they're all beautiful.

- Woah, check it out.

Look, come and have a look here.

You should take it.

- No, that wouldn't be right.

- A souvenir for your journey.

It's just trash,

rubbish,

junk.

No one's gonna miss it,

so you might as well.

- Julie wait, what

are you doing?

What, hey!

- Is this a joke?

This is my scarf.

- What the f***, man?

What the f***'s goin' on?

Julie!

Julie?

You okay?

- I don't feel so good.

- It's okay, it's okay.

Let's get you the

hell outta here.

Give me this.

Come on,

up.

- Stop.

- Yeah okay, yeah.

You okay?

- I am just so tired.

- Okay, just...

Sh*t, I have a signal.

Gogo, f***ing voicemail, man.

Gogo, it's Jim, uh,

we got stranded.

Look.

- I hear voices.

- Oh babe, you okay, you okay?

Julie, Julie, it's me, it's me.

Gogo, hello, hello?

Gogo, gogo, can you hear me?

I need you to come get us.

Julie's not, I think she's sick.

It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

It's okay.

Hey, I think it's

him, I think it's him.

Gogo, hey!

Right here, right here.

She was totally fine

and then, I don't know.

Maybe it's malaria?

Can it happen that quick?

- Not good stay here, we go now.

- Those f***in'

brits poisoned her.

I'm so sorry.

Where are you going?

- This village I come from.

- We need a doctor

or a hospital.

- Too far.

This better, trust gogo.

- Oh wait, wait up, wait up.

Okay, what can I do to help?

- Shhh.

- What, what can I do?

Hello, hi.

- Shh, shh, shh, Jim.

- What, why are you whispering?

- The spirit, they listen.

- How is this helping?

Babe.

- You have to let

them help, yeah?

Give them space.

- What was that,

what is she saying?

What?

What?

What?

What is it?

- Watabe.

- Watamiyoo, what the...

What, where's he going?

- Go for help.

- Will someone please tell me

what the hell's goin' on here?

- Jim, come, come.

- What was that old lady saying?

- She not happy with gogo.

- Why?

- People in the country,

they have story they believe.

Long time ago there

was a woman from Japan

who married a thai man.

She leave her home and her

family to go stay with him,

even though it made

her so sad and lonely.

It's because she love him.

But then one day,

the man have affair with

a young servant woman

and the wife find out.

And she so angry, she

set fire to the house,

try to kill them all.

The man and the

servant girl get out,

but the wife not.

She burn,

she die.

Now that she dead,

not a happy ghost.

In thai we call her watabe.

- What does that

have to do with us?

- Watabe still angry.

She don't like

pretty young woman.

- She's dead.

- Yes, but still dangerous.

- You're serious.

- Thai people don't

mess with watabe.

You cannot take what is hers.

They keep her home in

sukowit, where I pick you up.

They say she look after

the old ghost houses,

keep her busy so she leave

the young women alone.

But if you disturb

the ghost house,

then she will come for you.

You cannot hide,

and she will take your soul

to the ghost world forever.

- What, I thought you said

you called for a doctor.

- It's okay, this better, yeah?

- What's he gonna do,

pray her fever away?

- Jim, thai people believe

sometimes ghost take over body.

Monk will help.

You have to let him try.

- F*** this, we're

gettin' outta here.

- Jim, stop.

- We're gettin' outta here.

- You have to let monk help her.

- No, gogo.

- You have to let him help!

- Stay.

Excuse me.

We need a hospital,

a hospital, a doctor.

- Jim.

- This has gotta be yellow

fever or dengue or, or...

What am I supposed to do?

Yeah,

dengue.

- Jim, don't worry.

Monk take care of her.

They pray for her all night

and give her amulet

for protection.

She'll be okay, trust gogo.

- Julie.

Gogo.

Thank you, I'm

sorry we have to go.

I just need to get her to bed.

That's a big family you got.

- Big family, many, many auntie.

- Uh, yeah.

She doesn't look

very happy with you.

Should I pay the monk?

- Oh, no, no, no, it's okay.

You don't have to.

She say gogo should call first.

Gogo never call.

- Thanks, gogo.

For everything.

- You call me, yeah?

Anytime.

- It's a deal.

- I had the strangest dream.

And there was this

terrible woman,

and she was so angry.

Her face looked like it

had been burned in a fire,

and she wanted inside me,

Jim, she wanted my soul.

- I think we've all had a

little too much ghost stuff

for one night, okay?

Is that yours?

They planned it all out.

They were gonna leave

us the whole time.

They didn't, they

didn't try to rob us.

- I don't care, I don't care.

- They were gonna try to rob us.

- Jim,

- I'm gonna have a little

talk with our English friends.

- Think it through.

Whatever reason they

had, they mean business.

- Nah, I should call the cops.

I'm gonna find out

where they're from

and I'm gonna send

them the hospital bill

as soon as we get

you checked out.

- I don't want--

- f***ing a**holes!

- A hospital.

- You should at least

get checked out.

- No, I just want this bed

and I want you in

it with me, please.

Please.

- Okay.

That was the scariest

night of my life.

- I don't know.

- What?

- It's hard to explain.

It was like,

I knew you were there and

everything was gonna be okay.

It was like it was

just beginning.

- So where are we now?
