Where is madam Sulee? - Over here!
Madam, madam!
Madam open the door, we need your help.
Calm down. Hold on, it'll be over soon.
It's a Cambodian curse.
ART OF THE DEVIL 2 (Long khong)
When people feel tense...
the brain works harder.
We call this condition anxiety disorder.
The symptoms of this disease are easily recognized, like headache...
...restlesness...
sweaty palms, short temperedness, being easily distracted and mood swings.
Without treatment this can lead to suicide.
Okay, that's all for today. Remember your assignments.
Hey, if you want to flirt, take it outside.
Other people can't concentrate.
Hello. Ta, is that you?
What's up?
Tell me, Ta. I have little time.
I have to study a lot, and I am tired.
Bye.
Don't be an idiot, Por.
Surprise! Congratulations. It was just a joke.
Really? A joke, huh?
Kim, we have been friends for a long time.
You know how I feel about you.
I want to know if we could be more than just friends.
We are more than friends.
Hello.
Por, it's for you.
Hello. Hey, Ta!
Say, when did Ta's father die?
Suits me just fine. I haven't seen Ta since graduation.
Say, Por... When did it happen?
Yes, that's fine. We'll stay at Ta's. Have fun, like old times.
Noot? Don't worry about her.
Darling, give me your passion. As for love, we'll see about that.
My best lover...
Why I am leaving? I told you I'm going out with friends.
If you want me to come back, pick me up. Otherwise, forget about it. Bye!
Who was that? - Oh, nobody.
Let's go, the train is here.
Go away Ko, you don't have to get in. Go away.
Two years after our graduation everybody has changed.
back then we were a bunch of students from the province, and now we are adults.
For me this feels like a repetition of the past...
which comes back to me more clearly.
Life is like a long road...
filled with crossroads where choices have to be made...
that determine our future.
This reunion has taught me what I want to be in the future...
but also that in the end it is the past that makes me who I am.
TWO YEARS EARLIER
Kim.
I'll read it soon.
I'm going now.
Hey, retard. Hurry up.
Always too late... always chasing skirts.
Sleepy head. Drive!
What is it, Kim? Show me.
Are you crazy!
He's the school team's star. - So what? Behave yourself.
Kim, look out. There comes Kaew.
The house is filled with students. They're helping with homework.
Here's the money.
Cigarette?
No, my wife doesn't want me to.
Por, give us another.
Damn, Ko. What are you doing?
Ko, that's the wrong square.
I'm making a line. - What kind of a line?
A love line.
Don't repeat that.
Here's a snack.
That looks tasty.
Ko, watch out with the incense.
How's your review going? - Almost finished.
Show me.
Ko didn't lift a finger.
Kim, you are really good at english.
Why aren' you eating?
You are my guests...
and you're not leaving before tasting my canned mango's.
Thank you.
Ma, I need a thousand baht.
Excuse me.
How nice of miss Panor. Her son gets 1000 baht just like that.
Ta's half-brother is the apple of his mother's eye.
Ta is a daddy's boy, but at home his stepmother is boss.
Hey, who did that?
Race? Hurry up.
Por, Ko says Ta is a daddy's boy. What did he mean with that?
Ta's own mother died.
Mr. Prawaet remarried miss Panor and together they had Nong.
Ta loves his father better. It's for him that he studies so hard.
Are you comfortable, Kim? Hey Ta, I'm going. See you.
Kim, Kim...
We're already there.
Ta... Ta...!
Hey, Ta.
Ta, how are you?
Did you miss us?
Yes, I missed all of you!
So sorry for you, Ta. We heard about your father.
Are you holding up?
Fine, and you?
Long time no see, Kim. How are you?
Good.
Come, your dad will be getting impatient.
How can you say that, Ko?
Say, what do you think of Noot? Didn't see her in two years.
Look at it. What a body, no?
Makes your mouth water. Wanna share? I can arrange it.
Ta, let's hear that story. You wanted to tell us something.
After our finals, my mothers condition was getting worse fast.
To be honest, I'm just back here myself.
Where did you come from?
From jail.
Nong got into a fight and drowned. I was too late, but got the blame.
And now my father committed suicide.
I am free again and will make arrangements for his cremation.
It's been so long ago. Try to forget.
Let's talk more in Ta's house. It's too hot here.
Come on, Noot.
Look ever there. Something's going on.
Stop! Stop!
Ko, take Nong with you. Let's get out of here!
To the floor!
Do you recognize someone? - No.
Let me make this very clear!
Get into all the shady deals you want, but leave my kid out of it.
Loser! Father's son.
It's my fault, not daddy's. - How dare you!
Raise your voice to me, hè. Ungrateful peace of shit.
Ta!
Enough. Come along.
You hit him too hard. Come along, Ta.
Go ahead and choose his side again.
Pretty soon he'll be a criminal. I guarantee it.
Ta, you're going too far.
Why do you hate her so much?
Don't do that to yourself or to me.
If you put something on it, it'll hurt less.
Promise me you'll never do this again.
And another thing...
I want you to love your half-brother Nong.
Don't forget he is your only brother.
Cool. This looks like paradise.
This is what I like.
Quiet. Calm down.
See how skilled master Pawn is. This is Cambodian black magic.
Nong was here before.
His knife doesn't even cut the skin, does it Ta?
You first, Ko?
Come on, drink. Let's toast. Ta, you too.
Cheers!
Those who are not my students, leave!
What is this, drink class?
Coach...
Silence! Who asked you?
Let me see your number.
Hey.
Pieces of trash. Drunk! Drunk!
Come here! Come here!
Drunk! Drunk!
Bring your parents tomorrow. I'm warning you.
And you believe him? Is his word worth more?
Every day he causes trouble.
He just escaped a conviction.
Think! Do you believe me or him?
Ta, I'll say it for the last time: never accuse your mother again.
But dad, I saw them.
Never again.
Dad...
Don't we have to clean the AV-space?
Let's steal a camera and film them. - Listen carefully, Ta. If we do that...
miss Panor will definitely get fired even if coach O-Larn walks.
Who's there?
Quickly, what are you standing there for?
Stop that.
Who are you?
Tair!
I can't let this pass with a warning.
Stealing is a reason to expel you from school. I'm filing a complaint.
Coach, don't, please.
Oké, but then you have to do something for me. Can you do that?
Coach, please don't. Don't. Don't do it.
Quickly. Quickly.
Stop.
Besides theft I'm also pressing charges for mistreatment.
You want to go to jail?
Is that what you want?
What are you planning to do?
Relax. If you cooperate, I'll let you go.
What are you doing?
Stop that. Don't touch here, brute!
Asshole!
Untie me! Stop that immediately. Stop, I tell you! Asshole!
Don't!
Asshole!
Untie me, goddamned!
Have you thought this through before you came here?
This is like a ride on a tiger that can turn around and bite at any moment.
I'm warning you: once a curse has been cast there is no going back.
It stays with you forever.
Until your death.
Are you sure?
To curse him, a number of things are required.
First his day of birth...
a photo...
a personal item...
and finally some earth on which he stood.
Can you bring me all that?
Under no circumstances open your eyes.
Morning ma'am. - Good morning.
Goof food today, isn't it? I eat here a lot.
Have you heard that coach O-Larn is dead?
Ko, I've told you so many times. We should leave that subject alone.
Did anybody see Ta?
What's happening there?
Where are they going? - Come, let's have a look too.
Step aside!
Hey, Ta...Ta!
Are you listening? - What were you saying?
I wondered why your mother wasn't at your father's cremation?
Is she still bothered by it?
No idea... She's living off her canned mango's again.
We lead our own lives and hardly talk about it.
Come along, Kim. Be careful.
Fifty baht per person? - Yes.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Sir, the change isn't right!
Good afternoon.
We'll stay on this side. So we won't disturb grandma.
She lives on that side.
Your room is a mess.
This is where we sleep. Leave your stuff here for the moment.
Go say hello to my mother first. I'll make up the beds, okay?
That's fine. Come on let's go.
Come, Kim.
Por, is miss Panor happy with our visit?
I don't know.
Por, be honest and tell Kim that you don't know if miss Panor is over it.
Quick, hurry up.
Faster. Hurry up!
Faster!
Miss, are you cu...? I mean, how are you?
And you? How do you think I look?
Still as beautiful.
I'm old, you know.
Why are you looking at me like that?
That's my uncle calling.
Excuse me.
Hello.
I heard you live in Bangkok now. How's it going there? What are you studying?
Por is studying law. Ko studies engineering.
Noot is learning english to go with Tair and study in Australia.
You're still a talker. And that for the number 2 of you class.
You're flattering me, but what would make me really proud is if I was the best.
Right, and what are you studying?
Medicine.
Are you serious? You are not kidding me?
Yes, yes. I'll go as soon as I can.
Hello. Hello.
Who's mobile works here? I want to call home.
Mine doesn't.
There's no signal here, but there is outside the old temple.
Jeez. What should I do?
What's wrong, Noot?
My father has been admitted to hospital. Uncle is picking me up at the station.
I can't spend the night here. - No, really? Do you really have to go?
Don't be mad. I really have to go.
Please, don't be mad.
Wow, give me a call when you're going to do that again.
Ko, you again? Go away!
Are you ready, Noot?
Miss is asking for you.
Hurry, a quicky.
Asshole!
Do you miss Noot's tongue? You can borrow mine.
Act normally.
Did anybody see Ta?
I have no idea where he is.
I saw him. Over there in the garden.
Por, Ta is unhappy because of what is going on between you and Kim.
Why don't you talk it over with him?
Ta, have you ever thought about your future?
Well, I have. A lot even.
My parents are happy that I have been admitted to medicine school.
I want to focus on my studies.
It's over between us.
Kim.
I don't understand.
I'm happy for you too, but that's no reason to break up?
You don't understand, do you? - That's right.
I don't understand. I've told you all you wanted to hear.
What more do you want from me?
Ta, let go. It hurts.
I never cause trouble for you. True or false?
Ta. - Tell me why?
I'll tell you if you let go.
I want to choose the best man. And that's not you, Ta. Not you!
Damned!
Por, stop it or I'll get really mad.
Por, did you hear that too?
What?
I don't see anything. Must be the sound of the wind.
Kim...
Are you ready?
I need to talk to you about something.
I want to discuss something with you.
I too with you.
Ta, sometimes I feel I was wrong.
You must have noticed that Por and I are dating eachother.
The initiative was mine, not Por's.
If somebody is wrong, it is me.
Kim.
For two years I have been trying to reach you.
But you didn't care about me.
I've been thinking about you all the time.
Don't do that again.
It's over between us. Forget about it now.
Let's go back and have a good time.
Where is everybody?
Ta.
The water is cold. - And still you pushed us.
I Won!
Is this not a fun game?
Are you cold, Ta?
I swallowed some water.
I saw somebody under water.
Who? We are alone here.
Ta, has your grandma gone for a swim?
Turn it down, man!
Incredible, it's been more than two years, but it seems as if nothing has changed.
Something has changed. This place feels different.
I see...
What do you see, Ko?
Ko, what do you see?
Breasts. Only breasts.
Give it a rest, Ko!
Idiot!
Tair, call me when you're not a lesbo anymore.
What's for dinner?
Delicious, spicy cocos soup.
It's almost ready. Take the pan with you. There is also some steamed fish pastry.
Set the table.
Hey pussy, are you hungry too?
Want to eat with us?
Won't you join us? - Go ahead, I have already eaten.
I'll retire to pray.
Is something the matter, madam?
When I see all of you, I feel like teaching again.
Pussy, pussy, where are you?
Hurry up and eat.
Pussy, pussy.
I'll put it down here.
Kim.
Grandma!
Grandma, you can't eat that. Don't eat that!
You're letting me starve. - Help me then.
Have you gone mad? - I'm hungry.
Grandma, I'm taking you to bed. - I'm hungry, not sleepy.
Go on, I'll be right there.
Grandma, to bed now. - I want to eat, not sleep.
Ta, what's happening with you grandma?
Relax, nothing's the matter.
Grandma is confused.
Hey, slow down.
Are you afraid, Tair?
What for? People like me aren't afraid.
But I am. Strange things are happening here.
Today the house is full of people.
Mother must look clean and pretty so I don't have to feel ashamed.
I'll have to cleanse you too, my son.
Even if you'll go and live with the angry god...
still I'm worried.
That's why I'm doing this for you.
I still have hope.
Go to the angry god where you will reach enlightenment.
Now I will cleanse you...
so you will look nice.
We prayed to the house gods, so our troubles will be over.
Let's eat.
