-Hello. -Is this really the place?
Yes, that's it. I just went there last week.
They say this is the best place.
PU SOM RUESI, THE HEALING SHAMAN
CAN HEAL EVERY ILLNESS WITH HERBS
He can heal all kinds of illness.
If you don't believe it, just give him a try.
Leave whenever you want.
It doesn't hurt to try.
THE HOUSE OF PU SOM RUESI
Hello.
Hi.
Do you have an appointment?
Yes.
All right.
Are you Damrong?
Yes.
This way, please.
Okay.
There are a lot of people today.
How many people got the spot? It cannot be more than ten.
Hey. Is she the healing shaman?
Why is she a woman?
Yes.
She hasn't entered into a trance state.
A trance state?
Yes.
Pu Som Ruesi has entered.
What did you do?
Your condition doesn't look so good.
He has extreme stomach pain.
Doctors couldn't help him.
Do you know why?
Because his wife is resentful.
I see her standing behind him.
Oh, yes. She just died two days ago.
Come here.
Bring him closer to me.
Turn his back towards me.
Thank you so much.
-Wow. -There's no wound on his skin.
He is so powerful.
His wife just passed away so he got sick.
He has been here once.
But he didn't believe in him then. That's why it's really bad this time.
Well.
Your wife also passed away recently, am I right?
THE HOUSE OF PU SOM RUESI
My family heals people with dark magic.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
Thank you.
Even though I say it's healing,
it's more like conning.
Mom, I'm going to school.
Wan. We are out of painkillers.
Can you go get some?
Here.
Wan.
You should invite your friends to come over sometime.
Though I don't like what we are doing that much,
it makes good money.
Wan. Did you get the thing I asked you to?
Oh, yes.
Keep it safe.
My mom just gave it to me last Sunday.
It's beautiful.
Thank you.
Sure.
-And more importantly, -Wan.
Yes?
Can you read my palm?
People in my school respect me because of it.
They come to me to ask for some advice on minor illnesses
and several kinds of amulets.
Until...
Wan.
Oh, Cherry.
You are not going to school today?
No. I'm a little sick.
I see.
Cherry came into my life.
She is a girl from a different class who always hangs out with boys,
messes around, and skips class.
-You think you are pretty? -What's wrong with you?
She thinks she is better than everyone.
-Hey, stop it. -Stop!
This kind of people is easy to fool.
Stop. She will die.
Hey. Can I ask you something?
Can your family do fortune-telling?
We don't really do that.
It's more like healing.
Yes. Sure.
Can you help me?
Okay.
So, tell me what happened.
I feel pain in my stomach.
It's really bad. It's like there's a ghost haunting me.
And have you done something to someone?
Not really.
Do your parents know about it?
No, I didn't tell them.
What about your boyfriend?
Hey! Answer me! Why are you quiet?
Answer me!
You are annoying.
Talk to me.
Take responsibility!
Dickhead!
Hey, are you okay?
No.
Screw him.
If it's really painful,
you should come to my house tomorrow.
I'll tell my parents about it.
-Really? -Yes.
Thanks.
See you.
Hey, Cherry.
When you said that there was a ghost haunting you,
does it look like a child?
How did you know?
BIG-EYED CHERRY JUST NOW
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY? FUCK!
AN HOUR AGO I'M HERE LESS OFTEN
PU SOM RUESI, THE HEALING SHAMAN CAN HEAL EVERY ILLNESS WITH HERBS
Mom, I'm putting the pills here.
There will be an urgent case tomorrow.
-What do you know about the case? -I'll send everything to you.
Who is it?
My friend at school just got an abortion.
I had no idea that the incident
would change my life forever.
Do you see that you have been cursed?
What is that?
Come here.
Come closer.
It's the spirit of the child...
who you accidentally killed.
It wants you dead.
And what do I have to do?
You need to make merit for it.
And you need to use a potion that can keep the spirit weak.
Here. Take this.
This is sacred water that I created with my own hair.
The incantation lasted three nights.
It can heal anything,
especially illnesses caused by evil spirits.
Drink it every midnight,
and it will help you.
Should I take it?
Listen to me.
This ghost is vicious.
It will not rest until you die.
If you believe in me,
you will be better
in less than a week.
I guarantee.
This is the thing you were looking for.
You got them already?
Give this to your mother.
Hey.
Are you all right?
What's wrong?
Are you okay?
Are you okay? Take deep breaths.
Hey.
Take deep breaths and stay calm. Are you okay?
Are you all right?
After that, Cherry came to school less and less often.
-"Love is like an illness -"Love is like an illness
-that makes people blind -that makes people blind
-and not..." -and not..."
Have you heard about Cherry?
She didn't come to school again.
Right? She went home sick yesterday afternoon.
I don't know what's wrong.
-She looks tired lately. -I think she's got HIV for sure.
It's possible. She sleeps around a lot.
I saw her walking with one boy on Monday
-and another on Tuesday. -Wow.
Get out!
-Get out! -Let me go!
Get out!
You are not coming out?
Let me go.
-You are challenging me? -No more!
Do you want to challenge my power?
Do you know who I am?
Get out of her!
Are you challenging my power?
-Let me go! -Do you want to fight?
Do you want to fight?
Let me go now!
What happened?
She got worse.
Pu Som is getting the evil spirit out.
Get me 19 joss sticks!
What are you going to do with it?
-Let me go! -You are almost there.
It hurts! Let me go!
You are almost there.
No more! Stop!
Let me go!
Hang in there.
Let me go!
Almost there.
THE HOUSE OF PU SOM RUESI
-Mom. -Yes?
Don't you think
what you did today was a little too much?
It can't be helped.
We had to do it so that she will have faith in us.
How long are you going to do this?
Until she gets better.
But you know that she's not going to get better.
It's only going to get worse. You saw it.
Who knows? She might get better.
I've seen so many people who got better by themselves.
But it's not the same this time.
Just painkillers mixed in water
is not going to make her better.
Listen to me.
I know that you are worried.
But those people, they are not that sick.
They just think they are sick.
So what we are doing is making them feel better.
When they feel better, they will get better.
They actually need to thank us. Don't you think so?
Don't worry about it. Just focus on your studies.
I'll take care of this myself.
Wan.
Oh, Cherry.
What happened?
-Why am I not getting better? -I don't know.
I did everything he asked me to do.
Why do I feel like it's getting worse?
-I'm not the shaman. I don't know. -Hey.
Do you see me as a friend?
Can I ask you something?
Don't lie to me.
Will I get better?
Answer me.
Am I going to get better?
Yes.
You will get better.
Hang in there.
What was your answer?
Which one?
-The third question. -Hey, Cherry.
Are you all right?
Are you okay?
-Do you need to go home? -Can you go to class?
I'm okay.
-Are you sure? -You look terrible.
I'm fine.
Let's go.
-What's wrong? -Cherry!
-What's going on? -What happened to her?
But those people, they are not that sick.
-Cherry! -Cherry!
They just think they are sick.
-Cherry! -Cherry!
What's wrong?
-Cherry! -Cherry!
-What's wrong?
-Cherry! -Cherry!
Have you heard about Cherry from another class?
I heard she died in the hospital.
She died in the classroom. I saw it.
Do you know what happened?
-I don't know. -No.
But I heard that she got an illegal abortion.
-Dang. That's scary. -Really?
You are a bunch of conmen!
Get out of the way! I'm going inside.
-Hey! You! -Where is Pu Som?
Why did you do such a horrible thing?
I have filed a report.
Where is he?
Why is he hiding?
What's going on?
There you are.
Now people will know that you are a fraud!
Prepare yourself. I've talked to the police.
And they will put you people in jail.
Hey. Slow down. We can talk this out.
My daughter just died.
What do we have to talk about? Damn you!
Papa.
Mama.
Can you hear me?
It's me.
Cherry?
Is that you?
Cherry.
I'm sorry.
I was wrong for doing what I did.
What's wrong?
I'm not okay with this.
She just pretended to be her.
Does she feel guilty at all?
What do you want her to do?
If she hadn't done anything, we would have been in trouble.
You!
-Let me go. -Damn you!
How could you do this to me?
-Let me go. -How could you do this to me?
How could you fool my parents like that? I'll kill you!
-Let me go. -I'll kill you!
I'll kill you!
Don't worry about it.
She did that because she was in distress from losing her friend.
But I think she was possessed by a ghost.
Wan, I have been doing this for years.
I've never seen a ghost.
That was her hallucinating.
No.
I could even feel it.
Cherry's spirit was in her.
Let me tell you something.
Do you know why people see ghosts?
It's because they believe in them.
If you don't want to see them,
do you know what you have to do?
You have to think they are not real.
Say it out loud.
Ghosts...
are not real.
Good.
Okay? Don't worry.
Clear your mind. Everything will get better.
Believe me.
Hey, Wan.
What's wrong?
No. It's nothing.
This is my boyfriend. Do you remember him?
I asked you to read his palm.
Yes. I remember.
What's wrong?
I have a headache on one side of my head.
It comes and goes.
Is that so?
You killed a lot of animals in your past life.
You should try to eat less meat.
Anything else?
This is the life line.
This is good. It means you will live a long life.
Really?
Liar!
I need to go to the bathroom.
Ghosts are not real.
Student.
Wan!
What's wrong?
Why did you lie to me?
Are you happy that I'm dead?
You can't run from me!
I will make you pay for what you did to me!
I'll kill you!
Hey.
This is the house of Pu Som Ruesi.
Yes, speaking.
What did she do?
-Wan. Easy. -Get away from me!
-Easy. -Get away from me!
What's going on?
-She stabbed the teacher. -Easy.
Is she possessed?
I don't know. Why did she suddenly become like this?
Get away from me!
-Don't! Wan! -Get away from me!
Get away from me!
-Don't touch me! -Stop.
Get away from me!
Wan, stop.
Dad! Help me.
Listen to me.
Dad! No!
No!
What is going on?
Who are you?
It's me!
Don't lie to me.
My daughter has never been like this.
Pu Som, please help her.
She is going crazy.
She is not crazy.
She is possessed.
I will heal her.
I'm not possessed, Mom.
So are you saying you are crazy?
Get her to me!
No! Let me go! Mom!
Mom! I'm fine.
No, Mom! I'm fine.
Mom. I'm fine.
-Mom. -Stop talking. Be quiet.
Mom.
She has been badly possessed. Bring me the whip!
No!
Let me go! What are you doing?
Are you going to get out or not?
Get out of her!
-Get out of her! -That's enough, Mom!
Mom! No!
-Mom! -Pu Som, that's enough!
Are you going to get out or not?
I surrender!
-The exorcism is over. -Get me 19 joss sticks.
Mom! What are you doing? No!
What are you doing? This is enough.
No!
Let me go!
Cherry! This is enough, I'm sorry!
Cherry!
I'm sorry.
-Wait! -Cherry.
Are you awake?
It's me.
It's over.
I'm sorry.
But you know why I had to do that, right?
I understand.
There were a lot of people.
If you hadn't done it, people will lose faith in you.
I'm glad you understand.
Mom.
Yes?
Can I ask you something?
When you were performing the exorcism,
were you aware of everything around you?
Yes.
Why are you asking?
I understand that you are worried.
But there's no need to be worried.
Do you remember what I said?
Everything manifests itself from our minds.
Forget about this, and it will be over.
Remember that no matter what happens,
I will always be with you.
Take this medicine.
Slowly.
Good job.
It's over now.
Remember that
ghosts...
-are not real. -Are not real.
