your aunt knows
what's going on here.
Well, no, I meant
I'm sure she understood...
Understood what?
People don't just start
seeing things like this
out of the blue.
It happens for a reason,
and I really don't think
I can be cured
by your aunt's kind of medicine.
But we have to do something.
Look, I'm the one
who's screwed here, remember?
I can decide what I want to do.
I know it's hard to see now,
but with time, things change.
Things can get better.
You think I can just get back
what I lost?
No, of course not.
But it doesn't mean
you just give up.
Look, just save it
for your hospice patients,
all right?
I don't need it.
Jeff, what are you doing?
I just need to be alone
right now.
- I'll see you at home.
- Jeff, no.
[Indistinct whispering]
[High-pitched tone]
[Gunshot]
[Screaming]
[Speaking Thai]
[High-pitched tone]
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
[Woman sobbing]
[Speaking Thai]
Help me.
Jeff, are you in here?
Jeff?
My God.
What happened?
[Speaking Thai]
What is she saying?
The shadow world
should never be able
to reach this side,
not physically.
And your connection,
it's stronger than she thought.
Your wound is serious.
She can bring you strength.
Turn off the light.
You should let her try.
Raise your hands up.
Now close your eyes.
[Whispering in Thai]
[Sobbing]
Help me, please.
Mae Noi!
What happened?
It was the woman
from the hall.
We... we cannot do this alone.
We need help.
This is it?
This is the place?
You have got
to be kidding me.
It's been a long, long time.
Yes, it has.
There was no other...
What you tried to do...
It was foolish.
[Speaking Thai]
Outside.
Who is this guy?
I don't know.
She'll be all right
in a couple of hours.
You can take her home.
Excuse me, home?
But I don't understand.
Wait a minute.
Look, Mr. Mills,
you don't know me;
I don't know you.
But all of this,
everything that happened
to Choi's aunt,
it all happened because of me.
I know why you came.
I don't think we can wait,
so whatever you can do
would be...
Take your aunt and leave.
[Knocking]
How are you?
Much better now.
Tell Warren I need
- He must...
- We tried.
He said we should leave
when you felt up to it.
How can you do nothing
when you know
what is going to happen to him?
What he needs
is more than I can do.
But you know how to do it.
You know how to help him.
I didn't know
I knew
it wasn't gonna be easy,
but I didn't have a choice.
It's... it's...
You're pathetic.
You owe me for what happened,
Warren.
You owe me much more
than my life.
[Speaking Thai]
It's already been 47 days.
Not a lot of time left.
Why are we here?
To be sure.
You mean you don't know
what's wrong with me?
I don't have
to convince myself.
It's you who needs to be sure.
You and me,
we'll always be
just visitors here.
We have to learn to believe
what they already know.
What time was the crash?
I don't know exactly,
but in the police report,
it says that the accident
happened before 8:00.
Jesus.
Nothing about this
is gonna be easy.
I think now is the time
when you should take a look.
Nothing.
There's nothing.
Wait for it.
[High-pitched tone]
[Tires screeching]
[Loud crash]
Keep watching.
No.
What is it?
What do you see?
I see me.
Som.
[Retching]
What's going on?
How could I be there?
I'm alive.
It's all right there
in front of you.
Think about it.
Sense it.
What you feel
for your family...
Goes deep, very deep.
It was your soul
that stayed with them.
You're holding on
to two places at once.
You won't let them go.
That's why the shadow world
can touch you.
That's why your body is dying.
There's got to be
something that we can do.
Warren...
if there's anything
that we can do to help him,
we have to try.
Hundreds of years ago,
they learned that many forms
of sickness and death
were caused by the asuragai.
They're demons
that entered your body
and possessed you.
In those days, they would send
the sick people off
to live by themselves
in these villages
so the asuragai
couldn't hurt others.
As is often the case,
the separation or wall
between us
and the shadow world is thin
in places when there's been
intense suffering.
This is why the maw phi
made a kind of sacred barrier
It's sealed from this side.
But the seal can be broken.
So it's a way through
to the shadow world.
It is a way to go over,
rejoin yourself,
and come back.
But it's...
dangerous...
Especially for you, Jeff.
The asuragai collect in places
where the divide is thin,
hoping to somehow escape.
The temple
will keep them from us,
but they'll be able
to get through to you,
just like the ghosts
that touched you,
only worse.
What do we do
to open the gate?
The ritual can be explained,
but Jeff can't do it
all by himself.
Someone has to hold
the pathway open
from this side
long enough for Jeff to get back.
That'll be you, Choi.
[High-pitched tone]
[Scraping]
[Scraping and banging]
[Yelling]
He cut me.
I can't breathe.
He stabbed me.
Help!
I can't breathe.
No, no, no. No.
No, it's over.
He's gone.
Where...
Where am I?
It's all right now.
You can go.
You can go.
Jeff?
Jeff?
It's all right.
He'll be fine.
What happened?
The woman from the hall,
he... he... he spoke to her.
He made her leave.
You've done this before?
She found her way through.
She used Jeff.
And even if there was
another way,
it wouldn't matter.
They're everywhere.
There are countless numbers
of them.
You live with this
as long as I have...
You realize you're never really
gonna make a difference.
It's the 48th day.
What does that mean?
is how long a spirit
stays on Earth
before its fate is sealed.
So I only have until tomorrow?
Your body will be gone.
Your soul will be trapped
with your family
in the shadow world.
We need to get going.
this place on a map.
It's not hard to find.
It's just hard to get to.
Here,
Mae Noi's tea.
how you knew each other.
I knew her sister.
She has a sister?
I can't believe she never
told me she has a sister.
I mean,
she's my second cousin's aunt
on my stepfather's side,
but still.
Second cousin's aunt
on your what?
We have a big family.
Jeff?
Jeff, get up.
Let's go.
What's going on?
We go on foot from here.
[Speaking Thai]
[Speaking Thai]
This is Choi,
and this is Jeff,
the man we came to take
to the spirit village.
[Speaking Thai]
We will prepare you tonight
for your final journey
tomorrow.
And here you will find food
and a place to rest.
Thank you.
You have some
very impressive friends.
Just be open
to what they have to offer.
[Thunder booming]
[Men speaking Thai]
I was kind of getting used
to this look.
Yeah, right.
You know, I don't know
