Restoration is prone to error, Doc.
This paper is only 20 years old.
Why not get it from the archives?
I don't have that much time.
And since you do such excellent work...
...why waste my time?
Can you take a look at this?
Have you read about the overlap...
...between our world and the next?
Sure, a little bit.
But how is it related to Khamchanod?
On January 29, 1989...
...in Khamchanod Forest, Udon Thani Province...
...paranormal activity was recorded...
...and reported extensively in all media.
An outdoor cinema hired to screen...
...in the wilderness...
...where the projectionists were left alone.
The film was screened without an audience.
But, in the middle of the film...
...a multitude of people appeared from nowhere...
...and stood in front of the screen.
Everything was quiet.
Suddenly...
...all the people vanished into thin air.
I believe...
...that replicating those conditions will yield the same results.
At the moment...
...the only thing I'm missing is...
...the film that was screened that night.
As the 29th draws near...
...I won't let this opportunity pass.
Can you get it open?
No problem.
Great job.
Perfect timing. Dr. Yut is here.
Roj...
...if the documents are done...
...can you drop them off at the hospital?
The address is with Karan.
What the heck are you looking at?
Are you deaf?
Tall with long hair...
...dressed in a nurse's uniform?
It's the same woman.
The one whose face was cut.
Aon.
Are you okay?
Want me to spend the night?
Let me know what you decide.
Yut, go on ahead.
The car won't lock.
- Okay. - I'll be right there.
Sorry. Let's meet the guy I told you about.
I'm sure he can help with our research.
He says these two were well known.
As word of the Khamchanod screening spread...
...the more famous they became.
This is Pradab.
He moved to Bangkok and disappeared.
The one with the tattooed neck is Chin.
Everyone says that he's dead.
Loong Chin.
Do you recall what happened at Khamchanod that night?
Loong.
See? It's just a scratch.
Open your eyes.
Are you afraid?
When my colleagues read my research...
...they'll be amazed by the results.
What if you don't succeed?
I know. I've thought about that.
That's why I've kept it a secret.
So no one will know if I fail.
Aon, take your medicine...
...so the stomach pains will stop.
Here's your New Year present.
May you have a happy year.
Why is the old man...
...so obsessed with this amulet?
Unstable people are like this.
They clasp any little thing as a lifeline.
He might not even realize it's an amulet.
Yut! Give it back to him!
You want this back, right?
Tell me where the film is.
Tell me, and I'll return the amulet.
I don't know.
Pradab was going to burn the film.
Loong...
Yut, what's wrong with him?
Watch him. I'll be right back.
Doctor...
...I brought you the documents.
Dr. Yut?
You were at the train station, right?
You shouldn't be in here.
Dr. Yut doesn't like people in his office when he's gone.
Well...
...what about you?
Dr. Yut doesn't like it...
...if I'm not here when he comes.
Aon, get my bag. Someone's sick.
Have you been smoking?
Forget it. Let's go.
Hurry.
He's fine now.
He calmed down once I returned the amulet.
Pradab knows where the film is.
But we don't know where he is.
I'll go back to the newspaper...
...and try to find out where he lives.
Maybe he changed his name.
This says "Petch" something.
Petch Siam.
Petch Siam Theater.
Aon.
Where are you going?
Thanks for your help.
My pleasure.
Where are you going?
My stomach aches.
I want to rest.
It still hurts?
Come with me to the theater.
I don't want you home alone. I'm worried.
I really want to go with you, Doctor.
Yes. Yes.
Thank you, Dr. Yut.
Hey.
How about I give it a shot?
Pretty handy. Good thing I brought you along.
Is it okay that we're breaking in?
It's fine. This theater has been shut for years.
He used to be famous...
...for projecting the film for ghosts.
Where is he now?
How is he?
He was in that room. He died not long after that night.
He locked himself inside.
And wouldn't leave.
They say the ghosts killed him...
...because he was going to burn the film...
...and everything related to Khamchanod.
But the film wasn't destroyed...
...even though the entire room was gutted.
Ummm... excuse me.
How come this poster didn't burn?
This film was screened at a temple before Khamchanod.
Pun and I will go visit this temple.
I...
...I think we should watch the film.
Is that Khamchanod Forest?
I'm not sure.
Doctor?
Someone is sitting right behind me, right?
What's wrong?
Nothing, Pun.
Let's watch the film.
But...
I have this feeling...
...that we're not the only ones here.
Did Roj steal something from you?
He didn't steal anything.
I just need to ask him something.
I see.
How did you find me?
Stop stroking your hair.
Hey, do you think it's odd...
...we don't know how or when we left the theater?
You felt that, too?
We all felt the same thing.
And... another thing...
It's not polite to spy on other people.
The temple has been deserted for a long time.
On the day the film was shown...
...they set-up the screen outside the temple.
There was a small audience.
Midway through there was a fire.
And the screen burnt to the ground.
Strangely, the police didn't find any bodies...
...or survivors in the empty lot.
Or could it be...
...that no one was ever there?
I'm not sure myself.
Why are you interested in this story?
Sometimes staying in our own world...
...without crossing over into other worlds...
...is the best thing to do.
What's wrong?
You look like you've seen a ghost.
Not a ghost.
Just no monk.
What are you talking about?
He's standing there smiling at us.
Turn and look.
Who's there?
Who the heck is here?
Pun...
Ji! In the car! In the car!
Doctor, is his condition serious?
No, it's just his old memories.
When his fever subsides, he'll be better.
But everyone he's mentioned is dead.
Nobody is coming to get you, okay.
It's just me here.
Try to get some sleep.
I think the monk and the temple...
...are not related.
The pieces of paper Pradab wrote on...
...are much more interesting.
Yut...
What about the paranormal activity around us?
You've seen them, too?
Since when?
Since we watched the film.
I think it's normal.
Not for me.
And I think the others feel the same.
When we screen the film at Khamchanod...
...everything will be clear.
I have to go see Aon.
Excuse me.
It pulled me!
It's under the bed!
I had to fight it!
It's under the bed!
There's nothing there.
Take some pills and sleep.
You'll feel better in the morning.
Don't scare me like this again, okay?
It's undeniable...
Everything is linked to the overlap between our world and the next.
Not long from now...
...this research will be complete.
And everyone will see what I've known all along.
I really wonder why...
...everyone refers to Khamchanod as a cursed forest.
It the rainy season this bridge always splits.
The scientific explanation is land subsidence.
But religion tells us that the spirits...
...are blocking us from entering their world.
Hello, Ji?
Do you remember how many of us watched the film?
Four. Five if you include Roj.
It was six.
Don't forget the projectionist.
We should talk to him.
He may not have seen what we saw.
It'll be useful data.
I can't go.
Pun isn't doing well.
What's wrong with her?
Should I come over?
Yut...
Stop by today if you're free.
I want to introduce you to a reporter...
...who may be useful to our research.
To your research.
Aon!
Aon, it's just me!
Aon, what's wrong?
Hurry. Let's go together.
Aon...
Did you forget to wear my bracelet?
High again as usual.
Doctor...
...have you noticed...
...the lately...
...we see fewer living people...
...and more ghosts?
Hey... pick the lock.
Why do you think I brought you?
Projectionist!
Hurry!
So we can get out of here.
You shouldn't have gotten high.
Getting high helps me forget.
So I don't see things I don't want to see.
Do you have anything you want to forget?
Projectionist! Take a look at this paper!
What the heck is this?
Let go of me!
What?
Go ahead and cross!
Take my place.
Die in place of me.
Aon, can you have Karan look at this?
Maybe he can piece it together.
I'll pick you up after I'm done with Ji.
I can get home myself.
Hey, Roj...
Where were you last night?
I'll be on the roof tonight.
That woman wants to talk to you.
How can I help you?
Can you repair this note?
How come you had to hold each other?
Holding who?
He was high.
I just helped support him.
I saw it coming.
You know he's been watching you?
Stop thinking up nonsense.
I came here because you told me to.
Why can't I ask?
I'm your boyfriend.
Really? Did you just realize it?
Is this what boyfriends do?
Do you need a second warning?
I'm really sorry.
It's my fault.
Which side do you want me to repair?
Not the handwriting side?
There are too many combinations.
If I make a mistake...
...the entire meaning could be reversed.
If I'm not wrong, the writer...
...wrote on the paper...
...while it was folded up.
Here. Take a look.
I don't think I'll need to repair it.
Just putting the pieces together...
...should do the trick.
Can I smoke in here?
Tee, right? Ji mentioned you.
Sorry to make you wait.
No sweat... if I get the job.
Ji said if you're successful we'll be rich.
I can help you out...
...even though I'm not seduced by supernatural beliefs.
Really? I'm sure you'll change your mind.
Speaking of which... where is Ji?
He said Pun is sick.
No one's seen him in days.
- And about the research... - Yeah... yeah...
...Ji has told me everything.
I just came to meet you.
I'll take-off then.
See you at Khamchanod on the 29th.
Hey, Ji!
How come you're so quiet?
Tee, I need to speak to Yut in private.
Go ahead. Give my best to Pun.
Good-bye.
Yut...
...I can't continue with the research.
How come?
I think we made a mistake.
That's why things are like this.
I can't believe you're scared of ghosts.
I'm sure you've seen a lot of corpses on the news beat.
Hang in there.
We'll know the truth soon.
I'm not scared of ghosts.
But I can't stand to see Pun like this.
Pun!
Ji! Calm down!
Put down the gun!
Pun is dead.
I can't stand to see her spirit everywhere.
I shouldn't have believed in you.
How can you say that? Put down the gun!
I should have heeded the monk's warning.
What monk?
The monk said...
...we shouldn't cross into other worlds.
What do you want me to do?
Nothing!
Sir?
Don't go anywhere.
I need to take your statement.
- Will it take long? - Maybe all night.
Follow me.
Can I have some dope?
Why don't you want to go home?
There's nothing there.
Nothing there?
No one who loves you?
Stop acting like a troubled child.
Take a look at me.
I ran away from a broken home.
Now I can't go back.
Is there any place...
...where we can run away from everything...
Where we can be at peace...
And live our own lives...
Up here, I guess.
At least there aren't any ghosts up here.
No one comes up here to die.
I think...
...I'll stay up here forever.
No ghosts.
No one to bother us.
And...
...nothing to stand between us.
Don't you think?
Do you remember the amulet I told you about?
It might protect us from ghosts.
Old man, give me the amulet.
Give it to me.
Hello.
Are you calling from the hospital?
Is this the outdoor cinema company?
I sent you the film and the address.
Did you get all the money?
My name?
That's not necessary.
But if I don't show up...
...you still have to screen the film. Understand?
- Hello, Doctor. - Hello.
Did Aon come to work today?
I haven't seen her.
Thank you.
Is something wrong?
Excuse me.
Nurse!
Nurse! It's an emergency!
Nurse!
Doctor.
What are you doing?
Wake up!
I've looked for you everywhere.
Doc, how did you find me?
Take a look at this.
Pradab wrote this note the day he died.
Doc...
...if we watch the film at Khamchanod...
...the bad stuff ends, right?
Are you well rested?
If we leave now we'll get there by dusk.
How about the others?
Aon?
There's no one else.
She's going with the media.
They'll meet us there.
Reporters are coming, too?
Why did they agree to project here?
Money.
We all have our price.
And they don't know we're here.
No one's coming.
Are we at the right place?
Did you get us lost again?
Big deal!
Just screen the film.
They already paid.
Let's record our names.
The film is in bad shape.
I don't know if it'll run.
Who are you looking for?
Aon?
Ji and his wife, as well.
So concerned for other people.
I didn't see them...
...so I was concerned.
Okay, fine.
Get my phone from the car.
Call up Aon...
...and ask her where she is.
You've seen this film before, right? How is it?
I don't know. I've never seen it.
Did you find it?
Yes.
I haven't seen any ghosts...
...since we got here.
Me neither.
Perhaps...
...the story of ghosts watching films at Khamchanod...
...is just a hoax.
Call up Aon.
Hello.
Are you calling from the hospital?
Did you get the amulet?
- Are you leaving me? - No.
Of course not.
After last time, I wouldn't dare.
Here is Pradab's note.
If we watch the film at Khamchanod, we won't see the ghosts anymore.
What's wrong? Are you still mad at me?
No, I'm not mad.
Then explain this!
Where are you going?
With whom?
- Is it that kid? - Roj has nothing to do with it.
I can't stand it here.
I can't live like this anymore.
Do you still love me?
No, I don't.
I should have left you a long time ago.
Remember when we took this photo?
Remember!
Why did you hit me?
I can't see anything.
Help me, Doc.
Let me out!
- Doctor. - You back stabbing bastard!
Have you really paid attention to me?
Always lock me up.
I don't know anything.
You really misunderstand.
See anything?
You're not tricking me, are you?
If so, the joke will be on you tomorrow.
I'm not going down alone.
Hey.
Those are the journalists I brought.
They've been hiding for hours.
Are those our shadows on the screen?
Aon, can you have Karan look at this?
Maybe he can piece it together.
Restoration is prone to error.
Can I smoke in here?
This is Pradab's note.
If we watch the film at Khamchanod...
...we won't see the ghosts anymore.
Where are the ghosts? I don't see any.
Hey, Doc!
What if you fail?
I think we made a mistake.
That's why things are like this.
Is it okay to break-in like this?
Monk said staying in our world is the best thing to do.
But religion tells us that the spirits...
...are blocking us from entering their world.
Sometimes staying in our own world...
...without crossing over into the other worlds...
...is the best thing to do.
Where are the ghosts? I don't see any.
There are ghosts.
But we're not the ones seeing them.
Yes, sir. It's all here.
Pardon me.
What's your name?
That's not necessary.
But if I don't show up...
...you still have to screen the film. Understand?
The film is so damaged...
...I'm not sure it will run.
On the night of January 29th...
...the film was screened without an audience.
Midway through, the film ripped apart.
From out of nowhere...
...a multitude of people appeared.
They walked out towards the screen.
Everything was quiet.
Suddenly...
...they all vanished before the projectionists' eyes.
Not long after...
...the empty field also disappeared.
There's nothing here.
It's a dense jungle inside.
There's no clearing like you describe.
You couldn't set up a projector...
...let alone walk inside.
Want to know what I want to escape and forget?
I want to forget this rotten life.
And my rotten boyfriend.
Now you know.
I got this bruise...
...because I tried to escape.
The only way for me to escape...
...is to die...
and never be reborn again.
Aon, I love you. Don't kill yourself.
I really love you.
I want you.
Aon...
Are you here?
He's regaining consciousness.
Where did you find him?
Who cares?
If we follow Dr. Yut's research...
...we'll know all the answers.
Will the old man know where the film is?
I'm sure he does. Dr. Yut mentions him.
Old man, what's wrong?
What did you do?
Nothing. I just took this from his hand.
I have no idea how long ago...
...this incident occurred.
And I have no idea...
...when...
...it may recur.
