Still shaken.

That's why I want to spent

more time with her.

You know Chris...

we come into this world lying,

and it's best we leave it lying too.

It is the same woman.

What?

The woman I saw...

Is the same woman Mariko saw.

How is that possible?

I also don't understand.

Do you know who she is?

Maybe the coffin you laid in was hers.

Not possible,

The coffins were new.

You sure they used new ones?

Thai Temples - North East Thailand

'Wat Dhammajakdaram'

Professor Tananchai,

thank you for taking the time

to see me and my friend's today.

You're welcome!

I'm really sorry to hear about your fiance.

Thank you.

Professor Tananchai has been

conducting research,

in cases of people

who've met with strange

incident after their coffin ritual.

I am not an expert.

I just got personally interested

after the death of my best friend.

What happen to him?

This was taken less than an hour

before Joe drown.

We were on holiday together,

after we graduated.

Joe and I were competing who

would make it to the shore first.

Just to impress the girls, you know.

Both of us were in the

university swimming team,

he was trailing behind me.

And then--

... he's gone.

Joe?

Joe!!

At Joe's funeral, his mother was

the only one who did not shed a tear.

After his body was cremated...

she finally confided in me,

and told me why.

I cause the death of my son.

I found out I had stomach cancer.

But I didn't tell anyone in my family.

I didn't want to worry them.

The doctor said it was terminal,

and I don't have long to live.

Later someone told me...

about the coffin ceremony.

I didn't believe in these things.

But then I thought, why not?

That is when I went to the ceremony.

When death is right in front of you...

you try to evade it.

After the coffin ceremony,

I did not feel any difference.

But the doctor told me...

my stomach cancer is gone.

How do you explain,

this and Joe's death...

Is there any relation?

Joe died on the same day that the doctor

told me the news.

The doctor told me...

that my cancer is gone.

You have to know...

you cannot escape retribution and bad luck.

You can only pass it on to your loved ones.

Please mommy, everything is fine now!

Did you just see?

What is it?

Just now!

'Wat Dhammajakdaram'

Hush my baby and do not cry...

May!

Baby!

Baby!

My baby!

Give me back my child!

Give me back my child...

Hey, are you alright?

Have you been able to

determine wether--

there's any links between the ritual

and the strange event's that follow?

All I could do is to collect

irrefutable medical data,

recorded actual cases

that had happened.

Surachai Chuchart... 43.

went into the coffin with colon cancer--

on the 17 of July 2004.

Experience spontaneous

regression in less than a week.

No further record of mishap.

Sukhontha Glin-ngam... 67,

went to ritual on the

Heart problem markedly

improve within days.

Grand-daughter had a bad fall,

just about the same time.

Had any of the cases encountered,

paranormal experiences after the ritual?

There was only one.

It happened 5 years ago.

But I'm not allowed to tell

you more about the case,

without the subject's prior permission.

Hey...

Why did you go into forbidden area?

I saw a woman entering the area.

No females are kept in here!

So it must be a lady ghost!!

Why do you look so pale?

Nothing... nothing of importance.

How long have you been a grave caredigger?

Even before you were born!

Taking care of the dead...

makes me treasure my life.

How many bodies have you cremated?

Did you cremate a woman and child recently?

You want me to get you on a

flight back to Hong Kong tomorrow?

Thanks.

Isn't this's like our

university day?

Me drying your hair...

sleeping in the same room.

Having instant noodles.

Wearing the same clothes.

Missing the same classes.

Sharing the same boyfriend.

I'm so sorry Sue,

how insensitive of me.

It's alright!

I mean...

my father died of cancer.

So I was determined not

to end up like him.

I eat well...

I take good care of my health.

I do exercise...

I even become a dietician

so that I could advise other people

on how to eat and live well.

You are well now.

Yeah.... but Jack is not.

Jack's gone.

He's gone and it's all

because of me.

Don't say that.

When I was in the coffin,

I was actually thinking--

why could it be Jack!

He smokes all the times.

Why couldn't it be Jack?

It's so unfair.

I am so sorry.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Tell you what--

I better go with you to

Hong Kong tomorrow.

Thank you.

My pleasure!

I'm just going to get dressed.

You can take whatever

you want from the closet.

What do you want from me?

What do you want from me?

What do you want from me?

I have to see Professor Tananchai again.

Please!

Chris!

'Wat Dhammajakdaram'

I've cremated a lot of bodies...

never met with anything unusual.

None we could not burn.

But there still are some preparation problems.

Like the furnace door that is stuck,

and the burner could not lit.

Or the coffin kept shifting.

Then we bury them here.

They should be waiting for you.

Chris!!

Chris...

Chris!

Chris...

No!!! Chris?

Chris?

Chris!

Chris.

Chris?

No!

Chris!

Mariko?

Mariko!

Mariko?

Okay...

Okay!

What should I do now?

You lie in the coffin once more.

It's because of death that you're able to live.

You shouldn't wait until a loved

one's death, to realize your own life.

Death is not death,

as you can see life.

Death before dying, is death that will never die.

Sawasdee khrap.

How are you, Chris?

I am well.

This is Nan.

- Sawasdee ka.

- Sawasdee khrap.

And Sue.

Professor Tananchai told me about your lost.

I'm sorry.

Chris, why did all this things happen?

The wheel is spinning--

I guess because we distrupted it.

And how did you fix it?

I didn't!

Mariko went into a coma,

same night I found May's body.

She never came back.

She died 5 years ago.

I'm sorry, Chris--

I didn't know.

It's okay.

You know, my parents died

when I was really young.

And the idea of people leaving me,

had always scared me

more than my own death.

I'm sorry...

I guess I'm not much help too.

Yes you are!

I am sorry, May.

If I had known I will harm the both of you.

I would not have joined the coffin ceremony.

It's not Mariko's fault.

He could have been a good man.

When I got home...

the house was on fire.

I wanted to save him.

But I failed to do.

You left me because of him?

If he was your child,

I would have stayed behind.

I am sorry.

Chris....

I'm going to miss you.

Me too!

I have to leave now.

Will we meet again?

I had a relasped of cancer,

a few weeks after I went

into the coffin a second time.

Since that day,

I never saw Jack again.

I have been going for

chemotherapy for awhile now.

It's not the best thing

that could've happen but er--

--I guess the wheel's spinning,

and I don't want to interrupt it!

Do I look like your groom yet?
