Shadows Page #3

---

a lot of people like you,

who would come here

and do all of this.

I suppose I should

have known all along

that you'd do whatever it takes

to help a patient.

It is a sign

of great strength

that you decide

to return there today.

It's not strength.

It's the least

I can do for her sister.

I know it's hard

to see it now,

but helping Jeff

can be an opportunity.

To what, fail again?

Asuragai tricked you.

I was weak.

I let myself be deceived.

Losing her was my fault.

Nevertheless, today will be

an opportunity for you.

It is your choice

what you decide to do with it.

Our students have packed

all that you will need.

I will make sure all

your belongings are kept safe.

He's trying to tell you

that there's nothing

you can bring with you.

There's no possessions.

We only have ourselves

from here on out.

Thank you

for everything you've done

now and before.

You're welcome.

[Speaking Thai]

Good luck.

[Speaking Thai]

[Speaking Thai]

We're getting close.

[High-pitched tone]

Don't.

Stay focused.

Once they know

you can be drawn to them,

they'll know

they can get to you,

and that would be much worse

than the wound on your arm.

They're flesh eaters.

You know so much about this.

It's not just stories

you read in a book.

You've obviously

been here before.

Mae Noi's sister...

We had a baby,

a daughter.

There was an accident.

Her soul

stayed with our daughter.

I came here to save her.

The pathway closed

before she could come back.

And what makes you think

that...

that this time

would be any different?

We don't really have

another option.

Avoid the shadows.

Stay in the light.

They can't touch you there.

And remember,

don't let them know

they can distract you.

Go.

Just go through it.

Keep looking straight ahead.

That's good.

You're doing good.

The temple's in the center.

Come on.

The shadows

are only getting longer.

Stay in the light.

Stay in the light.

That's it.

Stay in the light, Jeff.

No, no, no.

Wait.

[Indistinct whispering]

Go ahead, Choi.

Go.

Wait.

It's okay.

Go now.

Now go.

Go.

Keep moving.

Keep moving.

Keep going.

Keep moving.

Come on.

Come on.

Jeff!

[Yelling]

Can you walk?

Yeah.

Come on.

You'll be okay here for now.

We have to hurry.

There's not much time.

The shadows

will be in place soon.

Choi, you'll be here.

When the steps

on the other side of the arch

are covered in shadow,

then the pathway can be opened.

After they're open,

how long will we have

after that?

Until the shadow

reaches the top of the arch.

It's about seven minutes.

Seven minutes?

Jeff.

I'll try, okay?

Promise.

Okay.

It's okay.

Choi.

This will protect you

from the light, Choi.

Now close your eyes.

You're gonna see things,

and you're gonna feel things

no one should feel.

No matter what happens,

don't open your eyes,

and don't move from here.

If you do,

the pathway will close.

What am I going to feel?

The asuragai will do

everything in their power

to trick you.

They will make you feel

as if they are harming you,

but it's not real

if you don't open your eyes...

And don't move.

No matter what happens,

don't take your mind off Jeff.

Turn your palms up.

Okay, it's time to begin.

[Whispering in Thai]

[Gasps]

It's ready.

Rejoin yourself.

Come back as soon as you can.

[All snarling and growling]

[Yelling]

Someone's coming.

It's Jeff.

Jeff?

Don't move.

You can't trust this.

Please,

help me.

Please.

He... he needs me.

No, Choi.

Don't trust what you see,

only what you feel.

[Coughing]

Choi, please.

No.

Just don't move.

Don't open your eyes,

and it won't be real.

[Snarling]

[Whimpering]

[Yelling]

[Sizzling and screeching]

[Gasps]

I'm here.

I'm here.

Jeff.

I'm here.

Daddy?

Daddy, you came back.

Kyle, honey, I did.

It's gonna be okay.

I'm here for you now.

I'm here.

Something's wrong.

It's Jeff.

I can feel he...

What?

He won't leave them.

He won't let go.

Choi.

Choi, you have to go in

after him.

It's meant for you.

Don't you see?

Your connection with him,

it's the only thing

that's kept him alive

all this time.

Now go.

Go.

Hurry.

[All snarling and growling]

No!

[Yelling in Thai]

Where's the baby?

I was weak.

I let myself be deceived.

No, Warren!

[Groans]

You have to let us go.

No, no.

We're together.

I don't have to go anywhere.

We can stay together.

We will be, just not now,

not like this.

You know we don't belong here,

and neither do you.

[Echoing]

Jeff!

Jeff!

You have to come back!

There's no time!

Go to her.

She won't leave here

without you.

She'll die here for you.

It's going to be okay, Daddy.

Really, it is.

I'm with Mommy now.

I'll make sure she's fine.

You're a big boy,

aren't you?

Jeff, please!

[Snarls]

I'll always need you.

And I'll always need you.

Jeff!

[All snarling and growling]

Jeff, please!

Choi.

Come on.

Ah!

[Screaming]

Jeff!

[Screams]

- Choi, take my hand!

- Jeff!

Daddy, it's me.

Hurry.

Jeff?

I'm here.

Choi?

We did it.

We made it back.

Warren, it's time to leave.

I'm staying.

Your eyes...

you should have a doctor

look at them.

I'm fine.

Listen, Ajaan Sao has agreed

to help me...

Find her,

put her to rest.

We'll be back

to check on you.

[Sobbing]

[Speaking Thai]

[Speaking Thai]

[Speaking Thai]

[Both speaking Thai]

Welcome back.
