Original subtitles

To live or to die now,

that is my problem.

Am I even honorable?

I don't even know.

There is only one feeling I'm experiencing inside.

Agony.

The only way to stop this feeling

is death.

Did you hear that, Father?

I'm in agony.

I can't endure it any longer!

I've heard everything, Hamlet.

That answer is false.

And what you are speaking of

is merely a construct.

But if you wish to escape the pain,

try this medication.

It'll help you to sleep better.

You've always meant well for me, Father.

Thank you.

Is this really the new version of Hamlet?

Isn't the interpretation a bit off?

But it feels familiar.

Wanlop.

Yes, sir?

What's going on here?

Nai asked to change the lighting cues this morning.

He said he'd like to add an extra scene at the end.

And where is he?

I don't know, sir.

Hamlet!

You can't trust someone like that!

In the end,

you'll fall for the innocent facade of the Grim Reaper.

The evilest person is

the one you believe had your best interests at heart.

But you know what?

You're not the first.

And you won't be the last.

- Help! - Help!

- Help! - Help!

- Help! - Help!

- Help! - Help!

- Help! - Help!

- Help! - Help!

- Help! - Help!

- Help! - Help!

- Help! - Help!

- Let us out! - Let us out!

That's it?

I guess.

But that scene was awesome.

Dan!

Dan?

Dan?

Dan!

Someone call an ambulance!

(Third Eye Shut)

- Dan! - Dan, can you hear me?

Dan, don't fall asleep!

Smash...

the pedestal.

- Dan! - Dan, wake up!

Dan!

Dan's arrived at the hospital.

His condition is rather concerning.

Master Joe will keep him company there.

- Thank you very much, Master Eric. - You're welcome.

Danai has caused trouble multiple times already.

I think we should set an example this time,

or there could be copycats.

That's true, Master.

I think he's harassing you, Brother Anurak.

You have to stop protecting this boy.

But Dan's still at the hospital.

Let's decide on his punishment after he's woken up.

I understand we don't have a policy to expel our students

unless they show severe signs of disruptive behavior.

But it could manifest itself later on in Danai's case.

She has a point, Brother Anurak.

We're receiving more complaints from the parents as well.

The incident at the school dance was also his doing.

We must deal with this with the utmost severity.

You should make a decision as soon as possible, Brother.

There will be no expulsion this time.

I'll take responsibility for this myself.

I'm going to resign from my position as the director of St. Lawrence.

What should we do now?

Aren't you two hungry at all?

I had a sandwich.

But Nai hasn't had anything.

Nai, you have to eat something,

or you might fall ill as well.

I'm not really hungry, Master.

But thank you.

Brother Anurak?

You should take the boys back to their dorm.

You two have class tomorrow.

I'll stay the night here.

- Is that a good idea? - Yes.

I know the doctors here.

I have to stay and discuss Dan's treatment anyway.

Okay.

All right. We should leave.

Excuse me, Brother.

I know

you're not entirely like what Dan believes.

You know both Dan and Trin are

possessed by a certain entity.

I just thought

had we believed them right from the start,

things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Thank you very much, Uncle Rerng.

What did you talk to Brother about?

It was nothing.

He's as worried about Dan as we are.

What about Cha-aim?

How is she doing?

She hasn't moved a bit.

I'm at my wits' end.

We're only in the eleventh grade.

Why do we have to go through all of these stressful things?

Josh.

If Cha-aim didn't become acquainted with us,

she wouldn't have ended up in this state.

- I don't... - Josh, calm down.

- This kind of thing... - I don't know what to do!

How would I live if Cha-aim were to die?

I haven't been able to sleep because I'm so worried about her!

There has to be a way!

I'm willing to do anything!

Just about anything to bring her back!

Take it easy.

The venerable monk.

Your venerable monk.

Thank you so much for lending a hand, Josh.

Don't worry, ma'am. I'll do anything to help bring Cha-aim back.

Cha-aim!

Dan? Dan!

Huh?

How come you're here?

I should be asking you that.

When did you get here?

Since that day at the club.

And I don't remember anything else.

But you can't be here.

It's time you went back to your body.

Your mom and Josh are waiting for you.

But I don't know what to do.

This place is full of darkness.

And there's a monster too!

It's so scary!

There's a monster here!

A monster?

That's right. You have to go back with me.

Can you hear me? Cha-aim?

Can you hear me?

That's Josh's voice!

Dan, it's Josh! We have to hurry!

I don't want to go back anymore.

What do you mean?

Are you going to stay here?

In such a scary place like this?

There's also a monster.

Cha-aim, the shadow isn't a monster.

How can it not be?

- Have you even seen it? - Listen to me.

The shadow isn't a monster.

How can it not be?

I think

it killed Trin.

- Dan... - No.

It'd never do such a thing.

Besides,

this is the only place

I don't feel pain.

It's the only place I feel wanted.

I don't have anything else left, Cha-aim.

I don't want to go back anymore.

How can you say that?

You still have me,

Nai, and Josh.

Everyone needs you.

I'm exhausted. I've had enough of everything.

You know what?

Being awake or asleep is equally as agonizing for me.

If I go back,

I don't know when it's going to end.

I can't take it anymore.

Do you want me to go back and be in agony like that?

I really don't want to.

Then,

can I ask you something?

Did you read

the book I gave you until the very last page?

I saw it.

And...

And...

And have you ever felt

the same way I feel?

Why...

Why?

Why, Dan?

Why...

Why haven't you ever told me?

You know, right?

I asked you that day.

Yes, I do.

Then why?

Why?

I thought Josh could look after you better than I could.

You should go, Cha-aim.

I really want to stay here.

Dan, can you hear me?

Dan?

Dan.

Dan, did you hear that?

Nai's calling for you.

Please come with me.

Go on, Cha-aim.

Go back.

There's no time! Go!

Go! Trust me!

Hurry!

Cha-aim?

Nai, Cha-aim's awake!

Dan, can you hear me?

Josh, go and get the doctor.

Yes, ma'am!

Dan?

You can hear me, can't you?

The children wanted their friends to return safely.

Thank you very much.

Your friend isn't the same anymore.

Dan has gone too far to be the same again.

I don't want to say anything to discourage you.

But to be frank,

it's very difficult to bring him back.

I want you to be mentally prepared.

How come? Cha-aim was able to come back.

Dan should be able to as well.

We can't help all the people in the world.

Some people will choose their own path

because it's what's best for them.

We won't be able to stop them.

Unless...

Unless?

Some people have unfinished business

in another realm where they are right now.

Dan!

- Dan! - Dan!

Smash...

the pedestal.

If I can help him,

he'll actually come back, won't he?

The pedestal?

- Help! - Help!

This pedestal?

Josh?

Josh?

Please don't hurt me!

I just want my friend to come back!

What in the world is this?

I'm in the courtyard here at St. Lawrence College,

where fragments of human skeletons have been discovered.

It's been speculated they were cemented inside for over 20 years.

The police are investigating whether this is a murder case.

And there's Brother Anurak.

Brother Anurak, what happened?

The police are bringing in Brother Anurak Sirisittidech,

the school director for questioning at the police station.

He was the school's vice president at the time

and might have relevant leads.

This isn't the first case at St. Lawrence College.

An eleventh-grader, Trin Dhevawijitra, also disappeared

from the school grounds.

It seems there's more to the case.

The governor is currently discussing whether to close down the school.

We'll be back with the latest developments at noon.

Josh,

can you take me back to Dan?

Watch your step.

Nai, have you heard the news about the smashed pedestal at our school?

They found skeletal remains.

The police are interrogating Brother Anurak as well.

What actually happened?

News?

Mm.

I met Dan in my dream.

What do you mean?

Well, it was very dark.

But then I saw a light

when I met Dan.

I...

I think I had a conversation with him too.

But I can't remember what we talked about.

What's the matter?

Can you get in touch with Bancha for me?

Why?

Cha-aim said she saw Dan.

I think he's trapped in another realm.

Didn't the forest shaman Bancha knows

say herself that

we can ask for anything?

I'm going to ask her to bring Dan back.

You did it, didn't you?

I'll do anything to bring Dan back.

Hey.

This is as far as I'm going to take you.

Thank you.

Catch you later.

You've arrived.

Someone told me

if I offer an apology to the forest spirit,

it'll help me with everything. Is that right?

Do you believe in the balance of nature?

This lake is

like a portal to another realm.

There is a forest spirit

people believe to be a shadow.

It helps protect the village from disasters.

Alas, one day,

your school was wrongly built

on top of these sacred grounds,

causing the portal to close.

The energy and spirits were abandoned

and have been stuck here for almost a hundred years.

So the nature in this area was thrown out of balance.

Therefore,

the ritual of wishing upon the shadow is

to enable the wisher

to see the other realm

so they can

release those spirits

and energize the shadow again.

Offering an apology to the forest spirit is akin

to opening up the third eye.

You'll be free from everything.

You'll be awakened.

You'll see the past, present, and future.

If you can perform the whole ritual,

your wish will come true.

But...

if you can't,

the forest spirit will forever imprison you.

You.

You have seen it all.

You've seen the truth behind that place.

What do you mean by that?

You probably thought that was a spirit.

It's the past that is

still endlessly manifesting itself.

But you already have an immunity to it.

You'll fare better than your friend did last year.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been taken away by the forest spirit.

My friend?

Trin?

Are you saying

Trin failed the ritual?

During the ritual to open the third eye,

you must drink this herbal medicine.

You'll be slightly nauseous but have to endure it.

There are three dosages

for early evening, the middle of the night, and early morning.

No matter what happens,

you can't leave this place. Drink.

You said I'd only feel nauseous!

Darn it!

It's the soldiers! Run!

Ma'am, he's disappeared!

The shadow.

He appeared sooner than I thought.

All of you go and find him now.

There will be pandemonium if the ritual isn't finished.

Go!

Get out!

Get out!

- Trin! - Trin, where are you?

- Trin! - Where are you?

- Trin! - Can you hear me?

Trin!

- Help! - Help!

- Help! - Help!

- Help! - Help!

- Help! - Help!

- We're here! - We're here!

- Help! - Help!

- Get us out of here! - Get us out of here!

- Help! - Help!

- Help! - Help!

- Help! - Help!

- Get us out of here! - Get us out of here!

- Help! - Help!

- Help! - Help!

- Help! - Help!

Trin, stop!

I order you to stop!

Stop! Stop right now!

What's actually in there?

Huh?

Answer me!

I have to smash it

so they can be at peace!

So they can be reincarnated!

What are you talking about?

You really don't know?

Don't you?

You don't know the Red October university students died here?

They were buried here!

There were buried right here!

I have to release them!

If I don't help them,

it's going to catch up.

Who's going to catch up with you?

Stop talking nonsense at once!

No!

Stop!

Stop!

- I order you to stop! - Let go!

- Stop right now! - Let go of me!

Stop!

Don't come any closer!

Are you okay?

Leave me alone! Stay away!

Who are you?

It's me, Brother Anurak!

It's me! Are you okay?

- Stay away! - Trin!

- Leave me alone! - Trin!

- Go away! - Trin!

So the forest spirit is

the shadow Dan's been seeing this whole all this time?

What did he do to attract his attention?

That's why he refuses to let him go.

And what do I have to do?

My friend's soul is wandering in an unknown place.

I want him to come back.

Can you ask the forest spirit to bring him back?

It's not up to me.

Your friend is with him now.

What else can I do?

So what do you guys want to do?

I'll drop you off at the hospital. Then we'll part ways.

Sure.

Nai,

what's on your mind?

Do you remember when we brought Dan

to perform that ritual to ward the shadow off?

Mm.

I had a fight with him.

He said the shadow hadn't been coming to him at all.

If the shadow is the same entity as the forest spirit

and we performed the ritual to ward it off,

it means the shadow hasn't

been able to come to Dan.

But at the time,

Dan's soul was inside his body.

But we don't know where his soul is right now.

Do you think it's going to work?

We won't know if we don't try.

Bring it on.

Nai, get the wheelchair.

What should I unplug first?

Let's lower the rails first.

Hang in there, Dan.

- Be gentle. - Mm.

Josh?

Did you accidentally hit something?

Are you crazy? I didn't hit anything.

Dan?

Dan?

He's not breathing.

Go and get a doctor!

Hurry!

Dan!

You have to be okay!

Dan!

Resurrecting a dead person is

a risky business.

If you call him and he can't hear you,

any lost souls or wandering spirits might

come to inhabit his place instead.

Please have mercy

and guide me to help him.

- Lord, please bring him back. - Nai?

Dan, listen to me!

- Nai, help me! - What you've encountered

isn't real.

It doesn't exist.

And it never did.
