At least my father won't kill me

Turn hereTurn here

Stop. Stop right here.

You don't believe in this

curse, right?

If I do, then what?

I'll have to sleep inside a coffin

like that crazy guy?

Right, you guys go ahead

We'll see what happens

tomorrow See ya!

Hey!...

Wait! Hyai!

Nui...Forget about him

We can look for it by ourselves.

Where is everyone

Ma!... I'm home!

Hey, little one

Did Aunty spank you again

Sir, there's only 2 coffins

Is there maybe just one more?

You got two for one damn

bottle of whisky

What else do you want?

Why don't you die,

then you'll have another one

Hey! Don't have to be rude.

Calm down, man

It's better than nothing.

Gets two and complains

We've got to hurry back

or we won't make it on time.

It's already past midnight

The Buddhist priest said

the ritual won't work

That's not true

He's lying to us

It's hard enough finding

the coffins

he has to do the ritual

What have I done wrong?

Why do I have to wait for death?

Uan, when it's time

we all must die

There has to be another way

Another way?

What other way?

Anyway I'm going to die

Even the Buddhist priest

can't help me.

That ghost will break my neck

You too, she don't let you servive.

We get the curse,

all we get the curse.

Finally, all of us can not servive.

Uan, that's enough

Where's Hyai?

We can't leave him alone.

What's wrong Nui

Hurry up.

Hyai!

Hyai!

No more!

No more!

Let me go!

Help!

Help me!

Don't come near me!

Wake up

Wake up

Is this the wrong house?

No, I remember the mailbox.

Alright, then let's go in.

Hey! I'm not going in

I'll wait in the car

It might get stolen.

How the hell is it going to

get stolen

We'll be right out

We'll just drag Hyai out to

sleep at the temple...

It's safer.

I still want to wait here.

That's okay Nui

Let him wait.

I can guess that it was suicide

Your friend had problems

at home.

Before we left his house

his parents came back

We didn't know

how to explain it to them

They wouldn't listen

They just kept blaming us

And where did you go

all that night?

That night we decided

to go back to the temple

But Uan

Uan had this stupid idea.

This is the safest place.

Aren't you going to keep it

for the ritual.

Let's just get past tonight

It'll be kind of like being reborn

Don't think of me in a bad way

I'm asking you

Nui

What?

Close the coffin for me.

Okay.

Uan, wake up.

Uan.

Uan.

Uan.

The reason for his death.

We believe it to be caused by

lack of oxygen

But what do you expect from

someone stupid enough

to sleep in a coffin with

the lid closed

But actually he didn't close

it all the way

He left an opening

for air to breathe.

There's only the two of us left.

Pim, would you like to meet

Saeng Daow?

How?This is not a living

human being.

Are we just going to wait for her

to come to us?

But where can we find her?

We'll start from the place

where she was murdered.

He cut off her head and tied her

hair to the air condition vent.

Did you see anything strange?

No, none at all.

Here, that's all that is left

Oh, there is one thing that

you should know

Saeng Daow was pregnant

when she died.

The letter that the hotel

employee gave us

was written by Saeng Daow

but was never sent

We decided to go to the address

that was on the front of

the envelope

and deliver that letter

hoping that it might

release her from this pain

and suffering she is in.

Who let you in?

I'm sorry

Excuse me Ma'am

Ma'amThe name on this letter

is addressed to you, right?

It's a letter from Saeng Daow.

Saeng Daow

Saeng Daow my child

Saeng Daow ran away

from home a long time ago

I never received any news

from her

I didn't know where to find her

Her father died

when she was just a child

I raised her with the money

from my new husband.

Who's the girl standing

next to Saeng Daow?

Oh, that's Tawan

My other daughter

Saeng Daow loved her sister

very much

They went everywhere together,

never were separated

Tawan was close to her sister,

she cried wanting to go too

Saeng Daow just ran away

and didn't tell anyone

She left her sister even though

they've never been apart

Tawan must've been really lonely.

And what happened to Tawan?

Tawan would just keep herself

in the room

Everytime I saw her

she would be sleeping here

I never thought that one day

she wouldn't wake up

Who's in the next room?

That's just my husband

He's probably hungry

Go on

It's getting dark, I think the

both of you should be going

It's dangerous driving back

at night

Go on now

Go on

It's nothing

Go, go, go, go

And don't come back

I'm sorry Saeng Daow.

So, we still don't know

anything, right?

Why is Saeng Daow

so angry at us?

It might not have anything

to do with us at all

She probably just doesn't like us.

and wants to kill us

because she's crazy

So, what now?

You want to go back and sleep

in the coffin?

So, I can die the same way Uan did?

No, thanks

We'll just let the Buddhist do

the ritual for us first

It might work.

Don't you want to know more

about Saeng Daow?

The more we know

the faster we die

Oh...Did you see anything

over at her house?

Like what?

Like under the bed?

Sa...SaSa

Saeng Daow

You've wasted a lot of time already

Will you please tell me something

I can put in my report?

Like in the accident

Did anything peculiar happen?

I really can't remember much of it

Everything seems to be a blur.

Pim...

Pim...

Where are you?...

Pim...

Pim...

Pim...

Pim...

Where are you?...

Pim...

Pim...

Pim...

Where are you?...

Pim...

Where are you?...

Pim...

Come out of there...

Pim...

Come out of there...

Pim...

It's dangerous...

Come out of there, Pim.

Pim...

Pim...

Pim...

I don't know

what else to ask you

All your responses just end up

back on the same story

It's because of a ghost

Alright then,

what about your friend?...

Where is he?

We had a difference of opinions...

He thought that the Buddhist

priest would be able to release him

from the curse by performing

the ritual

So, he went back to the temple to

try the ritual one more time.

What about you?

Don't you think of doing

the same?

If I did I probably wouldn't be

here now telling you about it.

Because from then on,

Nui just disappeared.

To this day, I still can't find him.

Your story is quite unbelievable

It's creepier than any book

I've read

But your characters seem to

have the same names as mine

I'll tell you what

I'll tell you a story of my own

I had a suspect here once,

waiting for interrogation

He was a psycho

We believed he killed people

as a sacrificial offering

What ever that is

Later that night,

he tore his clothes off

and hung himself on the jail bars

There was a writing

on the wall written in blood

He might be the murderer

in your story

So, do you still see Saeng Daow?

Is she here now?...

Anyway, you're probably tired

You can go

but I'll still need you to come back

and make your statement
