The tragedy of Mae Nak's legend has been told over and over.
It's believed that she would come back again
to find her true love.
Her spirit would never die.
Who's there?
It's very late for you to knock on the...
Who are you?
Who are you? Stop banging!
Hello!
Good morning Sir this is your early morning wake-up call.
Nak! Oh I am so glad to hear your voice.
I had another nightmare.
Mak are you okay?
Yeah I'm fine. This one was a bit too real.
Well tell me when I see you.
Mak loves Nak.
Nak loves Mak.
Are you going to work now Mak?
No Father. I'm meeting Nak.
What about your breakfast?
I'll have breakfast with Nak.
We're going to see a house.
They serve breakfast at the house?
No Mother. We'll eat out.
Mother? Father?
Did you hear anything last night?
Nothing Mak.
Why Mak?
No it must have been nothing...
Nak not here. It's too public. People will be watching us.
I don't care.
I haven't seen you in twelve hours.
This time I saw her.
Saw who?
This woman.
What woman?
My dream... My nightmare.
Her smile was black.
She had no teeth; no gums... just shiny black.
It was very real.
Very scary. Well from next week I'll be sharing the bed with you.
So she'll have to smile at me first
before she can scare you again.
Maybe a change of home will improve things.
Let's hope that this Estate Agent
is as true as the world in his ad.

Excellent. How wonderful.
And you are interested in my little house in Phrakanong?
Well I'm afraid it's gone.

So who lived in this house before?
There's been several owners
but they don't seem to stay long.
It's been empty for a few years.
You said it is an old house?
It's a very old house.
Probably the oldest house in the area.
How old?
Over one hundred years old.
This is going to be an exciting new area to live in.
Soon all this will change for the better.
It's a key.
I said it was old.
But it's beautiful.
Over here is the kitchen and this area is the bedroom...
Simple but cosy.
Yes Mr. Angel we want it.
Yes! We want it Mr. Angel.
I knew you two would be ideal for this place.
So let's begin the paper work.
I'm afraid the garden is a bit wild
but a little work will fix it.
My briefcase? I left it inside.
Mak!
Mak! Come on.
I've got to go to work. They only gave me the morning off.
Mr. Tick. They look nice and rich?

Look after it.
Very fragile.
It will bring you good luck.
Nak.
Noi.
Nak! Look there arrived for you.
Mak's such a romantic.
Did Mak send these?
I don't know.
There's a note there somewhere.
So tell me Nak. Did you get it?
So did you get it?
Yes we did. Noi it's so perfect.
It sound so romantic. A "family" home?
It needs work.
What's does it look like?
It's a beautiful fairy tale house...
An old traditional house...
The wedding date is coming.
And there's just enough time to get it ready for the wedding.
Don't worry Noi and I will help.
Don't worry.
Chai and I will help.
Let's talk later.
Matching furniture. That's nice.
I don't like the color.
Well it's good that it isn't for your home then!
Look! There's the double bed
for that first romantic hot sweaty night.
I bet it won't be their first night for hot and sweaty romance
Young people have no control these days.
Hello, Mr. Preecha?
I'm angle.
Are you the lawyer of Mr. Mak who buys my Prakanong house?
I would like to make an appoinment with you
so that we can talk about the agreement.
Driver stop here please... my stop.
I've got to get up early to see Tring tomorrow.
Nak!
Tring?
Our Fortune Teller for the wedding plans.
Ask him about me and Chai?
I don't believe a word he says.
I'm only doing this for my Grandmother and Mother.
Oh, C'mon! It's tradition.
And I'm doing it for Mak.
Nak!
Yes? Who it is? Mak?
Have you seen a ghost Nak?
Grandmother you know I don't believe in ghost.
Help me Mak...
Kong!
Passing this road. Aren't you afraid?
I have used this way many years.
I'm not afraid.
Did you get my flowers?
I'm in a rush Kong.
I can't stop and talk.
And stop sending me flowers!
Don't do it Nak.
You'll make a mistake!
What Kong!
Don't marry him!
You can't do it!
I told you to keep away from me Kong.
I am going to marry Mak.
I love Mak!
But I love you Nak.
Hello.
My Mother and Grandmother want you to know
that we have done everything you have suggested for the wedding.
It is not my suggestion young Nak
but what the astrological readings inform us.
We must live by them and they will guide us to happiness
and a fulfilling future.
My Mother and Grandmother hope
that you will attend our receotion
and give us your blessing.
I will do my best for you young Nak.
Master Tring.
Your first morning reading is waiting.
Master Tring would like completion of payment now.
There should be another two hundred?
Oh I thought my Mother said?
There's two hundred missing.
I'm so happy for Mak and Nak.
They look so good together.
It's true love.
I give this to them.
Thank you.
Mr. Preecha! I'm so glad you're here.
Here's to you and your wonderful new wife.
Mr. Preecha tells me
that the Prakanong house is a real bargain Mak.
Well it's a good job
we have a great Estate Lawyer like you Mr. Preecha to help us.
My feet are aching.
It's good.
Look there's your Forture Teller...
and he's brought that seedy housekeeper with him.
He wasn't invited...
Look he's stealing food!
It's my pleasure to be here
at my niece's wedding ceremony.
Wish you a happiness and success.
Be rich and have a baby soon.
Thank you all!
Thank you everyone for being here to day.
I know that Nak and I are so happy
that this day has finally arrived
and is the start of our new life together...
together in marriage...
So I raise my glass to everyone
and especially to Nak and I love very much.
To true everlasting love.
Nak you scared me!
What are you eating?
Grandmother gave it to me.
It was once a very beautiful look to have many years ago.
Kiss me Mak and taste some...
Let me see how you look.
It's probably not good for teeth...
here wash your mouth. Drink some water.
Nak?
Mak what is it? Mak?
I'm okay.
Just got a fright.
What was it?
Nothing Nak... Let's sleep.
So how are you my Husband?
I'm fine. And how are you my Wife.
I'm fine too. And did you sleep well my Husband?
Yes my Wife... l... did...
Oh look what my Grandmother gave me.
It's a leaf.
Couples used to chew it many years ago...
It makes your teeth and gums shiny black.
Oh you know about it.
It was a sign of beauty once.
Now we have the opposite.
I guess it's just tradition to give it.
I like your teeth white.
Your Father would have loved your wedding day Nak.
Mr. Preecha will go through everything this week I hope.
Well let me know if you need more help.
Let's hope it gets done before you go on holiday next Saturday.
Krabi is such a beautiful place.
In fact I don't know if you remember Nak
but Mak's Father and I went there to celebrate our
25th wedding anniversary three years ago.
Well a toast to Mak and Nak
and many they return to Krabi in twenty five years
to celebrate their wedding anniversary.
Mak what are you doing... You'll fall!
Now I get to carry my bride
my new wife, over the threshold.
I'm sure I locked it...
I think some one has broken in?
Look! Our wedding gifes... They've gone!
On Mak! Our lovely wedding gifts.
Thank you very much sir for coming.
No problem.
What did the police say?
There's not much they can do except wait
and see if any of the gifts are sold on the street.
Then we'd have to prove they were ours.
They even took my wedding suit.
My suit had a gift I had bought for Nak.
It was a brooch.
I would like to get that back.
Will you be okay staying here tonight?
Yes we'll be fine. This is our home.
What about the neighbours.
Didn't they see anything.
Nothing.
Police spoke to them but no one saw anything.
That's crazy.
You've only got to fart where I live
and a neighbour comes round to have a good smell.
Look it's a clock-radio. I could use this.
We're keeping nothing Tick.
We've gotta' get rid of everything.
We can't be found with any for it.
That newly married couple are connected to the police.
We'll be in big trouble if they catch us.
Stop!
Mak. I'm here Mak...
It's Nak next to you.
Make wake up Mak...
Mak why...
Nak. Doctor Grid is here to see you.
Nak. I'm Doctor Grid.
You are Mak's wife?
What happened?
Why is he like this?
We know he was in a hit and run accident.
It has left Mak in a coma...
Coma? What do you mean a coma?
It's hard to tell at this stage.
We are monitoring him for any responses.
Mak's parents are here.
Doctor I'll come with you.
You must find Mae Nak... find Mae Nak.
Doctor! Mak spoke. He said...
He spoke? Are you sure?
The monitor shows no response at all.
He's been stable...
no change at all.
You have to rest Nak.
You have to keep your strenght up to be with him.
You've been at his beside all day
and you haven't eaten much... nothing at all.
Here eat Nak.
Grandmother?
Mak said something to me this morning in hospital.
Are you sure he spoke to you?
The Doctor said there was no change.
Mak said "Find Mae Nak"?
Find Mae Nak?
But Mae Nak... is a ghost!
She is a ghost!
What do you mean a ghost?
The story of Mae Nak.
Over a hundred years ago
a young woman called Nak
married a young man named Mak.
They were very much in love
and their marriage was a true commitment...
they were inseparable...
and in love...
and they were blessed with conception of a child...
but then the dream was broken...
her Mak had to go to war...
Mak was injured but was nursed back to good health...
soon Mak was ready to return to his true love... his Nak...
they were together again... and now a family...
but then Mak notices that things had changed...
The neighbours they knew so well had gone.
People would not stop at their house
but row past as fast as they could...
Mak was then told the truth.
That Nak and the baby had died during the birth and Nak
his young wife is a ghost...
that night the ghost of Mae Nak had her revenge on the village
the dead were the people that tired to take Mak away from Nak.
She would not left them...
she cursed them and stopped them
the villagers awake Mak to face the truth about his young wife
that she is dead and he has been living with a ghost
who has struck revenge on those
who tried to come between her and Mak...
there in the grave was the decaying body
of the young Mae Nak...
Mak's wife and true love...
and next to her their dead child
the Higher Dignitary performed an exorcism
and Nak and her child was made to rest in peace.
Mae Nak no longer sought revenge on those
who tried to stop her love between her and her Mak.
Why did Mae Nak want revenge?
She wanted to keep the true love she had.
Her love for her Mak was overwhelming
and inseparable which became her obsession
which turned to anger and finally revenge.
You're late Tick!
Where have you been?
The scrap guy is waiting for you.
I know! I know!
I had to go the long way round.
There are many police on the streets tonight.
Which is why you need to get to the scrap yard
as soon as possible and crush the van.
I'm scared Tock.
Call me when it's done.
Thief!
Murderer!
Thief!
Who is this?
What do you want?
Where have you been?
I gotta' go home and eat!
It's late.
Here's your money.
You go.
I'll do this myself.
Now all the tests show that Mak is normal.
But he is still in this coma.
We are going to do a brain scan today
and hopefully that will pinpoint a cause for his state.
Mak's Father said
it was important that you see me Mr. Preecha.
Well it's about Mr. Angel the Prakanong house Estate Agent.
I'm afraid he is dead!
He was meant to come to our wedding reception.
Well Mr. Angel was about to create problems for you and Mak
I received a phone call from him saying
that he was going to double the price of the Prakanong house.
I checked the contract that Mak signed
it was there in the small print
that he could increase the price after one week.
His intention was never to sell it.
Prakanong house was the only property Mr. Angel had
and he used it to exploit money from young newly married couples
Couples like you and Mak.
Why would Angel do that?
Greed. What other reason's are there?
Maybe he went too far this time...
You're very lucky Nak.
You and Mak own a very special historic property.
Look... These are maps of Bangkok.
This is Bangkok today...
This map shows Bangkok fifty years ago...
and this map is one hundred years.
What I discovered when I was investigating the contract
is that Prakanong house is the oldest house on the map.
Its foundations have been there for over a hundred years.
Rumour has it that it is also a land told in legend...
It is said that the ghost of Mae Nak used to live there.
You can buy it if you're gonna' look at it that close!
This is stolen!
This was stolen from my house!
Hey Tock!
I'll call the police!
Take your hands out of the pocket or I'll cut it off!
Look she's taken something!
Mak I went to see our Estate Lawyer Mr. Preecha.
He had good news to tell.
The house is finally ours Mak.
I found something.
I found the brooch you bought for me.
It's so beautiful Mak.
It feels so strange.
Very cool.
Feel it...
Mak did you see that?
It was me and you. Our first kiss Mak.
Do you remember?
You are lucky Master Tring will see you at such short notice.
It must be improtant?
I am saddened to hear about your Mak.
But he is strong.
I will read his chart for him
and we will see a positive future.
Master Tring I must ask you about another concern
Before Mak had his accident
he was having nightmares.
He was being haunted by a vision of a ghost woman.
And when he was in hospital
he spoke to me from his sleep.
He said "Find Mae Nak"!
Mae Nak?
Mae Nak is a ghost.
Yes. My Grandmother told me her story.
This is why I came to see you.
To give me an answer.
What did they do to her?
The Higher Dignitary at that time
put a stop to Mae Nak's curses and vengeance.
He exorcised her to rest in peace.
The Dignitary removed a piece of bone from Mae Nak's skull...
He now had Nak's spirit held in the bone...
Her grave was filled in and forgotten...
the bone was made into a girdle brooch
that the Dignitary wore until his last day.
What happened to the brooch then?
Legend has it that the brooch was lost in time...
it is still out there...
holding Nak's spirit inside.
Nak what is this.
I knew it.
I sensed something strong and evil when you entered the house.
Is this the girdle brooch made from the bones of Mae Nak?
Master
what is wrong?
What is wrong?
Please you must wait outside while I help Master.
I can deal with this!
Master! Master!
Master is well now but needs rest
I don't inderstand what happened.
His strong visions overpower him
controlling his body and mind.
He explained to me about the object you have.
This object is very very valuable
and must be handle carefully.
It is extremely powerful and can cause you great harm.
So it's true?
This belongs to Mae Nak!
Master has asked that I take you to a Higher Dignitary
to discuss the outcome of the brooch.
He does not want it to fall into wrong hands.
It will be very dangerous for you to keep.
Come let's go now.
Where to?
Wait!
Yes! Yes! That's good price.
Very good.
I tell you my friend you won't be disappointed.
I'll be with you soon.
Have the money ready!
Mak loves Nak.
Nak loves Mak.
Our love for ever and ever and ever.
Nobody come here anymore...
It used to be a nursery for young children.
But they had to close it
because of the children seeing the ghosts.
It used to be a burial ground, many many years ago.
A burial ground?
Kong.
Nak.
What's back there?
What do you want Kong?
I'm sorry to hear about Mak's accident.
I I er'... I called your Mother to say
I er'... couldn't come to your wedding
and then she told to me about him
I was shocked Nak.
Are you okay?
I kept thinking back to when your Father died
and you came to me.
I'm here for you Nak.
Look Kong!
You were not invited to my wedding
and you have no right to call my Mother.
I told you leave me alone.
If Mak doesn't survive
if he dies, then you will be alone.
But I'll still be here for you.
Forget Mak.
We can make a fresh start Nak?
Our love forever and ever and ever.
Nak.
Mak's Mother and Father have arranged for a Monk
to come and pray for Mak.
Chai? Noi? I need your help...
I need to explain something to you.
I believe that the old nursery
is also the burial place of Mae Nak.
She was trying to tell Mak something.
Tell him something?
I think she wants to be complete.
We have to return what is here.
And how do we do that?
We dig.
We dig and find the remains of Mae Nak.
Nak are you sure no one owns this place?
I've checked. We're okay...
Nak I think we should speak to the Police first.
And tell them what?
That we're digging for a ghost!
Here! We have to dig here!
Why do we have to dig there?
Okay! But if we don't find anything after thirty minutes
then we go home!
Please dig Chai! Dig!
Some water for you Chai?
C'mon Chai you've done enough.
Let's go home now... Chai?
Gotta' dig!
The ground's so hard...
Gotta keep digging!
This is a skull.
It was a baby.
Why is it buried here?
Now we have to call the police!
No we can't... Not now... We need to keep digging.
Nak we can't.
This needs a serious police investigation.
We have to call them.
Hello Mother!
Yes I'm with Chai and Noi.
We'll be there right away.
Something very serious has happened to Mak.
We've got to get to the hospital now... Urgently!
Let's go.
What about this?
We should find something to cover it.
Hello.
Here you come.
What have you done?
We just repair the house.
The brain scan we did on Mak is showing symptoms...
We are concerned that there maybe injuries to the brain
such as a hemorrhage, that we can not detect.
So we are going to do intensive test
that will show signs of damage to the brain.
We are worried that he may have permanent brain damage.
No!
Mak!
Mae Nak!
I was worried about you Nak.
I had to call the police.
Don't worry Nak I told them I'll help you.
Chai I found her!
I found Mae Nak!
Where's Mak!
How's he?
He was taken away!
There is no change to him.
They took him away!
No! I gave you what you wanted!
I gave you... what... you... wanted.
Nak?
Grandmother I don't understand.
Why doesn't Mae Nak release my Mak?
Why?
Let's get ready and I will take you to someone who can help...
Legend says that the spirit of Mae Nak was very revengeful on those
who tried to stop her.
She will do them great harm Nak.
How are you feeling Nak?
Much better now.
I was a difficult night for us all last night.
Where have they taken Mak?
He is in salf hands now.
He was taken to a monstery where they will help him.
Where they will remove the spirit that possesses him.
We have given them our permission... for an exorcism.
Mr. Grimm?
Mrs. Grimm?
I have bought my Grandmother Nak here to see you.
She needs your help.
Yes! Yes! Come in! Come in!
How wonderful it is to have you visit us with your Grandmother.
You must be Nak.
I remember you when you were a little girl.
And I remember your Grandmother when she was a young girl.
May I touch your face Nak?
It's how Mrs. Grimm sees you.
There now I can see you Nak.
You are very beautiful.
Now let's find out how we can help you young Nak?
Mrs. Grimm is tuning into the spirit world.
She has been a spiritualist all her life.
It takes longer for her in her elderly years to get in touch.
Oh I nearly forget... This may help.
Nak held it so tight last night.
Ah! Wonderful!
Let Mrs. Grimm hold it.
You are surrounded by pure love, young Nak.
The presence that this belongs to is reaching
out to you through this pure love.
The presence is a woman...
A woman who is not at peace...
who cannot rest...
The presence is with us...
She's here...
We sense that you are with us...
Will you talk to us?
Will you communicate with us?
Will you come through to us?
We are here to help you...
What is your name?
Will you speak to us?
"Yes"
What is your name?
Do we know you?
Are you connected to us?
"No"
What is your name?
"Nak... Mae Nak"
Is there someone here you wish to communicate with?
"Nak"
Will you speak to Nak?
Will you tell us why you are not at rest?
Speak to Nak...
Nak is with us...
What do you want to Nak?
"Nak help!"
Why do you feel no peace?
What help do you need?
Speak to Nak...
Nak is with us...
"Release me! Release me!"
The ghost of Mae Nak has been awoken by the true love that you
and your Mak have for each other.
It is the love that she once had... and misses deeply.
I did everything I could.
I found her.
And you must continue young Nak.
What does she want?
You must return what is hers.
Nak I must warn you.
Mak is in great danger.
Grandmother told me about the exorcism they plan
to do on Mak tonight.
You must stop them Nak!
Nak! What are you doing here?
Chai I need your help.
I need to go to the police morgue.
Come on Nak!
You'll create serious problems for yourself.
Please Chai you must help me.
This will be the last time.
I promise.
Look Nak this whole thing has caused a strain between Noi and I.
She's worried that I may lose my job.
I just need you to help me get inside the morgue.
I have to help Mak.
Mak is in good hands now.
You'll make things worse for him.
Chai you must help.
You maybe in danger.
She can do strange things...
Nak! Enough talk about ghosts and bones!
Nak!
Touch this.
If you don't help me you'll be in great danger Chai.
Mae Nak won't let anyone stop her.
Happy now!
Okay Nak I'm gonna' drive you home.
And then I'll have some explaining to Noi
because I'll be late and then she'll... she!
Hi I work for the pay-roll department.
I need to collect the job sheets.
They were meant to be sent over today.
It's late! I wanna' go home!
You guy's need to get paid on time...
Quickly Nak! Get under here.
You may need this.
Hey! Where are you talking that?
It was blocking the entrance.
I'm... l'm just returning it.
Returning it?
Returning it where?
That's my job.
Hello...
Hey! What are you doing?
No I can't come out. I'm working tonight.
Yeah I'm working all night...
Where you going?
Hey guess who we have here?
It's the guy who was sliced...
He was sliced right in three places.
It's been a busy week this week.
We've got the skytrain guy in. Lost his head.
Clean of... Some other guy got burnt alive...
Oh that's my work calling me.
Call me later. I gotta' go!
Mak loves Nak!
Nak loves Mak!
We'll love each other forever.
I'll love and take care of her forever.
Now you give my Mak back to me!
You give my Mak back to me!
Mak!
Nak!
Mae Nak can rest in peace now.
This is what she wanted us to help her with.
I've been told that this is the resting place of her Mak...
He is telling you that we will complete the ceremony tonight.
Is everything alright? Don't be worried.
Nak. Come and see this picture.
It's when we were engaged.
Nak.
Mak...

No. I'm not him.
Can't you remember me?
Where are you Nak?
Where's my wife?
Mae Nak, I'm not your Mak.
Give me back my wife.
Mae Nak, I'm begging you.
Give me back my wife.
Hello, Chai?
