It's getting dark.

We're almost there.

Guys, have you heard what people are talking?

There's a chest in this house that holds nual's spirit.

She guards the forest and refuses to go away.

Whoever comes here at night...

Won't be able to leave.

It's just a story!

You chicken!

Noi, you look so pale!

If you're so scared you can leave.

How about you two?

Black one out!

It's ting!

Me again!

Poor you. Now close your eyes and count.

One, two, three, four, five...

Noi, let's hide upstairs. She won't find us.

No.

Come on!

I'm coming to find youl!

You don't hide in that corner.

I'm going to be in that room.

If ting comes for me, you sneak behind and tag her.

Is it a good idea to split up?

My dad gave me this protective amulet,

you keep it.

Let's go.

Krasue: Inhuman kiss

Sail

hi jerd, yam, toh!

Leave the fish at my house.

Do you know when will the school reopen?

We'll have to wait until the war in Bangkok ends, sai.

But it's great not having to go to school!

People are killed and hurt, jerd.

Let's go to the field. There won't be any patient tomorrow.

Please.

Jerd!

C'm on!

Jerd, stop!

Aren't you bored?

Doctor metta!

Mon!

No one's here.

They must've been called up in emergency.

I heard Bangkok got bombed pretty bad last night.

If it weren't for my dad, I'd like to go there.

Aren't you afraid of getting killed?

No.

I'd get to be a soldier, to shoot at enemies.

Must be cool!

Nurse! Stop!

Go play with me now!

Jerd!

No one's coming. Let's go outside.

No, someone might need help.

But if you don't go, someone will get hurt for real.

Ouch!

Nurse, help me.

Jerd!

I'll cut your fingers off.

Please.

No.

Doctor! Are you here?

See?

Coming!

Just a little.

Sai...

I heard the krasue ate your neighbour dang's hens.

I don't know.

Last night mai and his friends

went out to hunt rats.

They saw a floating light.

I knew it!

You have to take precautions.

How?

Close all doors and windows at night.

Don't hang your laundry outside.

The krasue likes to wipe its mouth with it.

If I really were krasue you'd be dead by now.

If you were krasue I'd blow your head off.

Tough talking, eh?

Sail

hmm?

Don't you feel weird seeing these things every day?

Are you scared?

A bit.

I can't believe you grew up a scaredy cat.

But it's gross.

I kind of miss noi.

Don't know how he's doing now.

Sail

I'll be out on a patrol tonight.

Krasue, right?

Who told you that?

Aunt kamlai. I treated her son today.

She said dang's hens were eaten by the krasue.

But no one has seen it in a long time.

I can't be certain...

You stay with grandma.

Make sure to lock all doors and windows.

I'll get going.

Okay.

Come. Grandchild.

Evening, grandma.

Hi.

Jerd asked me to bring plum mangoes for you.

Thanks.

I stopped by at his house.

How are you, dum?

You cutie.

Well, jerd is kind of cute too.

Good-looking and rich...

Don't you like him even just a little?

He's head over heels in love with you.

I heard he's following you around every day.

He just keeps me company.

Why are you shaking your legs?

Huh?

You're blushing?

No.

When you two finally do it, let me be the first to know.

Ting!

What?

What're you saying!?

All right, I'm leaving.

You better eat the plum mango.

Just leave.

Make sure to eat some.

Go home safely.

See you.

Here, pandan water.

Sai.

Let's go.

Sail

hmm?

You spaced out.

Jerd.

Come with me to the village.

Wait.

We should turn back.

But we're nearly there.

It's dangerous.

If you're scared, you can go back first.

I'm not scared, I'm just worried.

Sail

noi!

Sail

sail

Jerd!

Noi!

We've come from salaya where the krasue has wreaked havoc.

In the beginning...

It ate all the chickens and ducks

until there was none left.

Then the cows and buffaloes.

But the villagers were too slow to take extreme measures.

So...

It began to spread.

That was when pandemonium struck.

Spread? How?

Once the mother krasue spits in the water...

If a girl drinks it,

she'll turn into another krasue.

If it's a man,

he'll be in terrible pain from the poison.

When he can no longer endure it and dies,

the krasue will devour his guts.

The folks were scared and already abandoned the village.

Why should I believe any of this?

Pai, plaew.

These are some of the krasue we had put down.

We don't want anything more than a place to stay.

In exchange, we'll hunt the demons for you.

That sounds good, chief.

Who told you there's a krasue here?

I've brought a curry and boiled vegetables.

I'll put it there.

You must be hungry from the journey.

Thank you.

Blankets and a mosquito net.

Hope it's good enough.

Of course, it was a lot worse in Bangkok.

Why are you here alone?

Where are your parents?

Bangkok got bombed terribly hard that night.

My parents didn't make it.

I'm sorry.

And how are you doing?

Fine.

I come here every day.

There's not much to do at home.

So I'm here to assist the doctors and nurses.

They've just been called back to Bangkok.

You want to become a nurse?

I don't know, I guess.

And you?

I'd just got into a medical school...

When war broke out.

When you graduate,

you can come back to work here.

Of course.

But I don't know what's going to happen from now on.

Have you ever had to deal with critical cases?

"Critical cases"?

Patients who're in really bad conditions.

Well, I have. Remember grandpa samran?

Yes, the grumpy grandpa.

He died.

On this very bed.

Little noi of old wouldn't be able to sleep here.

Soap, toothbrush and bathing cloth.

We're about the same size so here's your shirt and pants.

They should fit.

Thanks.

No problem.

Ting, didn't you bring anything for your friend?

This lamp!

Wow.

Noi, is this hairstyle popular in the city?

Jerd.

Take sai home, I need to talk to noi.

Jerd, run along, I can go by myself.

No, let me walk you home.

I'm really fine.

It's late, let me come with you.

Go.

No.

Are you sure those men aren't bandits?

Actually, I'm not.

Then why did you bring them here?

Because I have nowhere else to go.

So you told them

there's a krasue here?

Sai.

Krasue did that?

Or maybe wild animals.

Where's jerd?

Krasue is fast,

but you have to be faster.

Slow down! Again!

Slow down.

Don't hurry.

So you're going krasue-hunting with me now?

I'm here to talk to jerd.

Right.

I forgot you two are friends.

Come see me after you're finished with him.

What're you doing here?

Training, obviously.

You shouldn't, we don't know what they're up to.

Don't hang out with them.

I've been with them to several villages

and I've never seen even one krasue.

And we don't know what really happened in salaya.

But you told them there's a krasue in our village.

I did.

But it was

just an excuse for me to come back here.

What if krasue had nothing to do with any of this?

So how did it all happen?

I don't know either.

Knowing nothing won't save anyone.

I have to go.

"Poking some muck frequently"

"to create gas"

"which can cause an explosion or fire"

You don't believe in ghosts?

No, I don't.

Then what do you think it is?

I still don't know.

But I'm going to prove that

krasue aren't real.

Sail

Don't forget to lock your doors and windows.

Yes.

Sang! Our child's gone!

Help! Please help!

Dum!

Don't shoot! My son!

Calm down.

Dum.

Dum.

Enough!

Dum!

Dum!

Dum!

Dum, my son

are you ok?

Should be fine.

Thank you.

Sail

Krasue.

Thanks to tat,

otherwise my son would've been devoured by the demon.

Poor dum.

My husband will join the hunting party tonight.

They'll sweep the whole village.

Who're you?

I'm noi, son of teacher sawai.

Krasue don't hurt people.

These demons have lived alongside us for a long time.

They were once humans who practiced black magic.

Their spells backfired and turned them into hellish ghouls.

The female is called krasue.

The male is called krahang.

Usually people will hurry

to find a hunter when they see a krasue.

Maybe this one isn't just any krasue.

Yes.

She's someone I know.

Listen...

Believe what you see,

but do what your heart tells you.

Let's go.

Jerd came by the health centre this morning.

We should act normal.

Do you remember...

I used to be really scared of toads.

It's ugly.

Disgusting.

No one wants to go near it.

When I've become one myself...

I realise that monsters do have feelings, too.

Aren't you tired of eating chicken?

Stop it!

I don't want you to think too much.

No one has seen it for a month.

"Krasue herb"

past Karma forces them

to drift around

to repay their debts through many lifetimes.

They're condemned to hide like prey.

Krasue would eat the plant called krasue herb,

to halt the bodily transformation.

But I've never seen this plant myself.

Let's check your body temperature.

Hmm, looks like a fever.

How long have you felt feverish?

Two days.

Sore throat?

Yes.

Open your mouth please.

Open your mouth.

It doesn't look too bad. Runny nose?

A bit.

What colour is it?

Green...

I see...

So I'll let our nurse sponge you.

And I'll prescribe some pills to take home.

Yes.

Take a nap and you'll be fine.

Yes.

Your turn, nurse!

Is the water cold?

Yes, it is.

Indeed!

C'mon, nurse!

You're so impatient, doctor.

Gently, you'll hurt her.

I'm gentle!

Does it hurt?

A little bit.

Sai.

I'll leave her to you.

Jerd!

Sai.

Bael fruit juice.

I'll be back.

Yes.

There'll be a full-scale hunt tonight.

Secure your doors and windows.

Be very careful.

Right.

I'll get going.

Kaew!

What's wrong!

Kaew!

Kaew!

What's happen?

Somebody help!

Help! Help us please!

Tat! Tat!

Come out, little girl.

Come and eat this.

Pai, pleaw, now!

Kaew

Where had your daughter been?

She was sick, I just took her back from the health centre.

Noi, what should I do?

Kaew died because of me.

One day the truth will come out.

I don't want to go on like this.

Gather yourself.

I'm trying to fix this.

We have to go to the village.

Whenever I'm in pain, I have a vision of the village.

In my mind.

There must be something there.

Noi...

Come with me.

We have to thank noi for bringing us here.

But with this girl, we have to tread carefully.

Tat, I think this is a misunderstanding!

Sai.

So?

It feels good.

Great! We'll collect lots of them.

I'll find a way to grow it

so you won't transform again.

See, there's finally a way out!

But you'll be in great pain.

Tat!

Noi, you prick!

Sai, run!

All krasue are such sluts.

Jerd!

Jerd!

Jerd!

Jerd!

Jerd!

Sai.

Sai.

Sai.

Sai.

Sai.

Sai.

Grandma?

Found him?

Have you seen jerd?

Jerd!

Jerd!

Chief, I couldn't find them anywhere.

Jerd!

Jerd!

Jerd!

Jerd!

What the hell happened?

We three chased it to the old house in the village.

Thought we'd cornered it.

But this bitch isn't an ordinary krasue.

It's vicious...

And killed two of my men.

Did you see her face?

Who?

Kill her!

Sai, what are you doing?

Did you see the bundle I put on the cabinet?

Yes, I did.

But where did I put it? I can't remember.

She killed my child!

She killed my child!

Grandma!

I'm trying to think!

She killed my child!

Stop!

Right, it's in the laundry basket outside.

What's the hurry?

Kill her!

Kill her!

Monster! Come out!

Show your face!

Come out here!

I'll call her myself.

If she's really a krasue,

you can shoot her.

Sail

sail

come out here!

Sail

come out now!

Sail

Monster! Come out!

Show your face!

Pan, step aside.

She's your child, but she's a demon!

Let's storm the house!

Dad.

I've been calling you, where have you been?

I was taking a bath.

Look at her!

Where's your krasue?

Huh?

Jerd, tell everyone what you saw last night.

Think of the poor girl who lost her life

because sai infected her at the health centre.

Jerd.

Last night, tat and his gang kidnapped me to their camp.

They tried to rape me.

Jerd rescued me and we ran away.

Tat's men got mad and beat him up.

Bullshit!

What about the dead bodies at the camp?

There's no proof that I did it.

Sail

just admit you're a krasue.

Jerd and I saw it with our own eyes.

Tat and his men were trying to rape sai.

Dad!

Get out of my village.

Love her, while you still can.

Folks!

The show's over!

I'll go after the krasue myself.

You have the nerve to betray me!

Can we do it next week?

Yes.

Gather all the villagers.

Kill sai, and destroy her heart.

Kill sai, and destroy her heart.

Kill sai, and destroy her heart.

Kill sai, and destroy her heart.

Get out of my head!

Noi!

We're finished. There's no herb left.

Let's run away to Bangkok.

What about my dad?

Just worry about yourself!

You're in danger!

That bloodthirsty tat is still snooping around.

In Bangkok there must be someone

who can help us.

Meet me in the village tomorrow after sunset.

We have to make a run.

Jerd.

I've known all along

that you're a krasue.

It's late, let me walk you home.

No.

That night at the cow pen, I saw it for the first time.

I joined the hunters

so I could misdirect them.

There'll be a full-scale hunt tonight. Secure your doors.

It hurts every time...

I saw you with noi.

Don't leave me.

Please stay with me.

Sai.

Don't leave me.

Please, sai...

Sai, can I come in?

Yes, dad.

How are you?

Still hurt?

Dad...

Hmm.

One day if I'm no longer here...

Will you be all right?

Why are you saying that?

I won't let anyone hurt you.

I promise.

Venerable...

I'm here to say goodbye.

I also have something to ask you.

About krasue and krahang,

there's more to the story, isn't it?

Have you seen her?

Its history...

Start like this...

When the krasue who was the wife of the first krahang

fell in love with a human.

She got pregnant

and they ran away together.

But krahang found them.

He killed the man.

Then he killed his wife and ripped her heart out

to avenge his own heartbreak.

His wrath was passed down through generations.

Since then,

a krahang has to destroy every krasue's heart.

Sai.

Sai.

So they can't spread another rumour.

Sai.

Hi.

Good evening, chief.

What're they showing?

Have you seen jerd lately?

Poor jerd, as selfless as a Saint.

Trying to protect the girl who hasn't even looked at you.

Stop!

Love is poison.

It turns you into a fool, an irredeemable fool!

Go away!

Leave me alone!

Do you think sai's going to keep her promise?

She's running away with noi to Bangkok!

She's going to leave you.

She's leaving you behind!

You're such a fool. A fool! A fool!

Sail

what's wrong?

Sai...

Sai...

Sai...

What's wrong?

Sai...

Sai...

Sai...

Sai...

Sai...

Sai...

Kill sai! Rip her heart out!

Burn her body!

Stop!

Jerd...

That's sai.

Don't hurt her.

I beg you.

Get out!

Come on!

Come on!

I said stop!

Stop!

Stop it!

Noi...

Take care of sai.

Sai...

Sai...

Sai, let's go!

Noi, why are you protecting her?

She's a whore, nothing but a whore!

You think she's going to love you forever?

You really think so?

Shut up!

Take that as my apology, nual...

Someone saw it last night.

Reng's internal organs are gone.

Who do you think it is?

Nual...

Noi.

Go through the village and you'll find a river.

On the other side is Bangkok.

Hurry!

Sail

sail

We're almost there.

Just across the river and we will go to Bangkok soon.

Hang in there.

I'll find a way to treat you.

You'll be all right. I'll cure you.

Hang in there, just a little more.

Just a little more.

Just a little more.

Hang in there, just a little more.

You'll be all right.

You'll be all right.

Everything's going to be all right.

You'll be fine, I'll treat you myself.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I can't keep my promise...

When the war's over, let's go to Bangkok together.

I'll show you around.

Great, I want to go.

Promise?

Promise.
