Thongsook 13

---

Take a pill, you'll feel better

You'll have to celebrate

your birthday in bed then

Today's your birthday?

Yes

What happened to you?

I got punched

By who?

Tong, from class 6

Have you told your teacher?

I told him I fell

Why didn't you tell him

what happened?

No

Tong would get mad

and beat me up again

That's not cool

My name is Thongsook

I'm Nam

Will you have a birthday party?

No

I don't think so.

My mom is always busy at work

If I had a party,

I would've invited you

So what will do you later?

Go home and watch TV

"Dark Dimension" is on tonight

A horror show?

Aren't you scared?

It's my favorite.

Are you scared?

Chicken

Nam,

do you want to see a ghost?

You mean,

face-to-face?

Like, a real ghost?

Of course I do!

Have you seen one before?

I don't mean a phony Ouija Board

I want to see a real ghost

I've seen them all the time

When I was very young,

they almost killed me

My mother took me to the temple

and the monk gave me this amulet

So you've seen ghosts?

What if...

I want to see it too

You just...

take this amulet off me

Wait!

I'm not sure

Come on, it's broad daylight!

But I'm scared

Come on, I'm here with you

Trust me

I'm your friend

Are you really?

Yes! Friends won't leave each other

If anything happens,

put this back on...

Thongsook!

What's happened?

Thongsook! Come back to me!

Come back to me!

Son, come back to me!

Thongsook!

Come back to me!

Nam

I've got you some snacks,

a belated birthday gift

Take it

Aren't you angry with me?

About what?

No, because we're friends, right?

I'll have to go to class

Nam!

Thongsook

You just got here?

I've been here for a while

So why aren't you in class?

Well...

I want to go in with you

- Really?

- Yes

Let's go

Traditional ceremonies are

different in each region

depending on their history

and environment

In the North we see, for instance,

the Lantern Festival

In this picture you can see

the offering rite to the

spirits of the ancestors

During the holidays I'd like

you to find more cases

for your reports and presentations

That's it for now, thank you

See you next time

We've fooled Thongsook!

Sure, I bet he has no idea

where we are now

Why do we have to hide this from him?

Please, Nam

let's keep him out of this just for once

Wherever we go,

that dumbass sticks to us like a leech

He doesn't want to stick to us, just her

I feel sorry for him,

nobody wants to hang out with him

And don't you feel sorry for us, huh?

All right?

Let's meet at the pier

From there it's 2 hours to the island

Right

See you at 10 at the pier

- Okay. Sure

- Hey, let me see the map

Easy!

Jack!

Can't you see the table is wet?

It's all right, I have another map

- Let's go

- I'm not treating you!

Easy man!

- I'm hungry

- Let's go to Jae Ju

- What?

- Jae Ju?

Are you really going to spend

the night on the island?

Yes, just one night

Nobody wants to spend

the night there anymore

Why's that?

It looks like such a nice place

My uncle told me

that once there were

a lot of people on the island

But they all moved out

after that night of

Devouring Spirit ceremony

Something went wrong and

a lot of people were killed

It was an offering rite to

the guardian spirit at the shrine

on the night of the 13th

My uncle was there,

it scared the sh*t out of him

My soul is melancholy...

my spirit roams freely

Bring me chicken and cattle

bring me the whole flock of ducks

Bring me goats, deer and donkeys,

bring me the blood of the beasts!

- Yes!

- Hooray!

We're here!

- Be careful

- Easy, easy

Come here

Help them up Jack

Boy, you're on your own

This is yours

This too

- Thanks

- Okay

Your story is entertaining,

you can finish it tomorrow

when you pick us up

Please be on time, we won't be able to

get another boat around here

Four o'clock on the dot.

I won't wait around if you're late

Sure, thanks

Okay, let's go

Keep walking!

- Take it easy

- What are these things?

Hurry up

Keep going and it's on the left

- You've been here before?

- My dad told me

Whoa!!!

Didn't know your dad was rich!

Beam, look!

A real big house!

Your dad's vacation

home is pretty awesome!

It's not actually my father's house

Someone put it up as a guarantee

and he disappeared

Took the money and ran?

Yeah, he didn't pay us back,

so we took the house

- Where's the key?

- It's with you

Hello handsome!

You're a cat fanatic!

This one looks like a stray

No! Look, he has an owner

Ouch, that hurts!

I told you

You'd better go wash it

Jack!

What's wrong Jack?!

It's not funny Jack!

- It's not funny at all!

- Jack!

- Get up!

- Jack!

I've had you!

Scared?

- Scared, huh?

- Scared your ass!

Let's take a look around the house

- Girls, which room shall we take?

- I'll take the corner room

How do you open it?

Sh*t!

My foot!

I thought it was a toilet,

it's a storeroom.

Beam, the view is fantastic!

This is super-cool!

I love it!

We should've come by ourselves

We wouldn't be here

if they hadn't let us come

Hang on a sec!

You're hitting on me?

Do you want me to?

Or should I ask permission

from Thongsook first?

Okay, Thongsook!

Okay, permission granted

- How's that?

- Cut it out

I'm just joking

Nam...

So what's the story between

you and Thongsook?

You keep mentioning him,

do you want him to show up?

Surprise!

- Are you okay?

- Nam!

Nam! Are you all right?

I just wanted to surprise you

What's that noise?

Holy crap!

Thongsook!

How did you get here?

I came by a magic portal

I want to surprise you guys!

You won't leave us alone, will you?

You're here, so let's go take a dip

I'll go and explore the island

Anybody want to come with me?

Boy, every island is the same!

There're just rocks and trees everywhere!

You're wrong

- this island is different

- How so?

The guy who mortgaged

the land told my dad...

that this place is crawling with ghosts!

The ghost did it!

You're so chicken!

- Well, the ghosts here are particularly vicious

- Really?

The boatman hasn't finished his story,

so here it is

That night, the ritual

went horribly wrong

because an altar boy freaked out

and dropped a candle

The spirit there is fierce

I don't believe that

- I'll take you to see them

- No! I'm scared!

Pui!

Pui!

What?

Do you have painkillers?

In the bag near the door

Thanks

Take only one tablet

It's strong, or you'll sleep for two days

I already took two

Well, good night then!

We'll take you into the

horror mode right now

We'll take a trip to...

the shrine at the other end of the island

That's where villagers

used to make offerings

It's like paying a protection fee

to the ghosts!

A protection fee for the ghosts!

Are you scared?

I... I...

I'd better go back to be with Nam

Come here!

- Don't be a spoilsport!

- Come here!

You have to come with us!

- You're a piece of work

- Don't run away!

It's just over there

- I want to go back to Nam

- You're not going anywhere

- Nam's fine, stay with us!
