Ghost of Mae Nak Page #3

Synopsis: In Bangkok, the groom Mak is scared, having successive nightmares with a ghost woman, Mae Nak, an ancient Thai legend. He meets his beloved fiancée Nak to visit an old house in Phrakhanong with the unscrupulous real state agent Angel and they decide to buy the property. After their wedding, two small time thieves break into the house and steal their gifts and other objects. When Mak sees the criminals on the streets of Bangkok selling his goods, he chases the burglars and they run their van over Mak, who gets into a deep coma. Mae Nak protects the young couple against Angel and the burglars, but in return she holds the soul of Mak. Nak finds the remains of Mae Nak in an ancient cemetery, and with some monks, they exorcise Mae Nak from Mak and release her spirit.

You're late Tick!|Where have you been?

The scrap guy is waiting for you.

I know! I know! I had to go|the long way round.

Rolice are everywhere.

So you need to get to the scrap yard|as soon as possible.

I'm scared Tock!

Call me when it's done.

Murderer! Thief!

Who is this?

Who are you?

Where have you been?

I've been waiting for you.|You're late.

Here's your money.

You can go. I'll do this myself.

Now all the tests show that Mak is|physically normal.

But he is still in his coma.

He has no response at all.

We are going to do|a brain scan today.

Hopefully that will pinpoint|a cause for his state.

Mak's Father told me that|you have got something to tell me?

It's about Mr. Angel the Rrakanong house|Estate Agent, who sold the house to you.

But now...

I'm afraid he is dead!

He was meant to come to our|wedding reception. Roor Mr. Angel.

Well actually, Mr. Angel was about to|create problems for you and Mak.

Recently, I received|a phone call from him.

Saying that he was going to double|the price of the Rrakanong house.

Then I checked the contract|that Mak's signed.

It was there in the small print...

that he could increase the price|of the house after one week,

and that it was legal to do so.

Actually, his intention|was never to sell it.

Rrakanong House was the|ONLY property Mr. Angel had.

He used it for his|real estate company registration.

And he used it to exploit money|from young newly married couples.

Couples like you and Mak.

Why would Mr. Angel do that?

Greed. What other reasons are there?

Maybe he went too far|for this time...

You are very lucky Nak.

You and Mak own|a very special property.

If you look at the map.

That is Bangkok today.

This map shows the same area|but over hundred years ago.

What I discovered when I was|investigating the contract...

is that Rrakanong house|is the oldest house on the map.

Its foundations have been there|for over a hundred years.

Rumour has it that it is also|a land told in legend...

It is said that the Ghost of Mae Nak|used to live there.

You can buy it if you're gonna|look at it that close!

Where did you get this?|This was stolen from my house!

Hey Tock! Come here Tock!

I'll call the police!

Call the police?

Take your hands out of the pocket|or I'll cut it off!

Look she's taken something!

Mak I went to see our Estate Lawyer,|Mr. Rreecha, about the house.

He had good news to tell.|The house is finally ours Mak.

Mak look! I found something.

I found the brooch|you brought for me.

It's so beautiful Mak.

It feels so strange.

Very cold.

Mak, feel it.

Mak did you see that?

It was me and you. Our first kiss.

Mak do you remember?

You are lucky Master Tring|will see you at such short notice.

It must be important?

I am saddened to hear about your Mak.

But he is strong.|I'm sure he'll be okay.

I'll read his chart for him|and we will see a positive future.

Master Tring I must ask you|about another concern.

Before Mak had his accident,

Mak told me that|he was having nightmares.

And he was being haunted|by a vision of a ghost woman.

And when he was in hospital,|he spoke to me from his sleep.

He said "Find Mae Nak!"

Mae Nak? Mae Nak is a ghost.

Yes. My Grandma told me her story.

This is why I come to see you.|To give me an answer.

What did they do to her?

The Higher Dignitary at that time...

put a stop to Mae Nak's|curses and vengeance.

He exorcised her to rest in peace.

The Higher Dignitary removed a|piece of bone from Mae Nak's skull.

He now had Nak's spirit|held in the bone.

Her grave was filled in and forgotten...|Unmarked, lost in the woods and in time.

The bone was made into a brooch that|the Dignitary wore until his last day.

What happened to the brooch then?

Legend has it that the brooch|was lost in time.

It is still out there...

But holding Nak's spirit inside.

Nak what is this!

I knew it, I sensed something strong|and evil when you entered the house.

Is this the girdle brooch|made from the bones of Mae Nak!

Take it out! Take it out!

Master! Master!

Master. What is wrong? Master!

What happened?

I ask what happened?

Get out! I can deal with this!

Master! Master! Master!

Master is well now but needs rest.

I don't understand what happened.

His strong visions overpower him|controlling his body and mind.

He explained to me about|the object you have.

This object is very very valuable.

And must be handled carefully.

It's extremely powerful|and can cause you great harm.

So it's true?|This belongs to Mae Nak!

Yes, it is.|Master has asked that I take...

you to a Higher Dignitary|to discuss the outcome of the brooch.

Master does not want it to fall|into wrong hands.

It will be very dangerous|for you to keep.

Come let's go now.

Where are you going? Wait!

Yes! Yes! That's good price.|Very good.

I tell you my friend|you won't be disappointed.

I'll be with you soon.|Have the money ready!

Mak loves Nak.

Nak loves Mak.

Our love forever and ever and ever.

Nobody comes here anymore.

It used to be a nursery|for young children.

But they had to close it.

Because of the children|seeing the GHOSTS.

It was a burial ground|many many years ago.

A burial ground?

Kong

Nak

So, what's back there?

What do you want Kong?

I'm sorry to hear|about Mak's accident.

I called your Mom to say I er'...|couldn't come to your wedding.

Then she told me about Mak.

I was shocked Nak.

Are you okay?

I kept thinking back to|when your Father died,

and you come to me.

I'm here for you Nak.

Look Kong! You were not|invited to my wedding.

And you have no right|to call my Mom.

I told you leave me alone!|Don't you understand?

If Mak doesn't survive, if he dies,|then you will be alone.

But I'll still be here for you.

Forget Mak.

We can make a fresh start Nak?

Get off!

Our love forever and ever and ever.

NAK:

Mak's Mother and Father have arranged|for a Monk to come and pray for Mak.

It will give him strength.

Noi. Chai.

I need your help.

I want to explain something to you.

I believe that the old nursery|is the burial place of Mae Nak.

Somehow she connected|with Mak through his dreams

and was trying to|tell him something.

Tell him something?

I think she wants to be at peace.

We have to return what is hers.

And how do we do that?

We dig.

We dig and find|the remains of Mae Nak.

Nak are you sure|no one owns this place?

I've checked. We're okay.

But I think we should|speak to the Rolice first.

And tell them what?|That we are digging for a ghost!

There!

We have to dig here!

Why there Nak?|Why do we have to dig there?

Okay! But if we don't find anything|after 30 minutes, then we go home.

Okay, but now we have to dig.

Some water for you Chai?

C'Mon Chai you've done enough.|Let's go home now... Chai?

Gotta' dig!|The ground's so hard...

Gotta keep digging!|The ground is so...

This is a bone!

It was a baby!

Why is it buried here?

Now we HAVE to call the Rolice!

No we can't... Not now...|we need to keep digging.

Nak, this needs a serious police|investigation. We have to call them.
