O sacred deities above,

please keep this child and me safely out of harm's way.

I have prayed and worshipped the goddess my whole life.

And this?

This is what I get?!

You're insane!

You defied the goddess.

- You must die for this! - It's not a baby?

Wench!

You wench!

Put out the fire!

Hurry up!

Damn you, you wicked witch!

Hey!

I will have my revenge on you all!

- Hey, what's wrong? - Yak! Yos was pulling my tooth out!

Because it's loose!

You're such a crybaby.

It's scary.

There, there.

Here. It's done.

That was your last baby tooth?

You're a young lady now.

Ready for a boyfriend?

Or got one already?

Like I would tell you!

Remember to toss it on the roof so her new tooth grows well.

Go on.

Your sister's here.

- Hey! - Come here.

- Let me give you a kiss. - I've missed you!

- Come. - Hi, little one.

There's my angel.

That husband of yours.

You're big!

He should be taking care of you, not sending you home.

Hi, Dad.

Nagging again, I see.

Well, it's sugar season.

Pradit is busy getting his cane to the mill.

Good thing he's busy.

We get to have Yad here with us a bit longer.

- Right. - See?

Yak!

The table is ready!

Coming.

Come on.

Here, Yad.

Your favorite duck stew from Lee's.

Make sure you eat plenty for the baby.

Thanks.

Hey, that's for Yad.

- Put it down. It's for Yad. - Right.

When are you due?

The doctor said in two months.

That means I'll be an aunt soon.

- I'll be Aunt Yee. - Aunt Yee?

So, are you hoping for a boy or a girl?

I think a boy would be good.

He could help out on the farm.

No, forget him.

Better a girl.

Your brothers are wild enough as it is.

Well, let's just hope for twins.

Make the pain worth it, right?

One of each.

Makes everyone happy.

That would be nice!

You up for that?

I guess I'll pass.

Hey, all our names start with Y.

So, if the baby is a girl,

why not Yerm?

For a boy, I'm thinking

Yud.

- That's awful. - How is that?

Seriously? Yud?

What?

That's terrible.

Come on.

Yak, are you thinking of rejoining the army?

I'm not sure.

Well, I heard they're recruiting again.

Maybe it's time to re-enlist.

Yod and I can look after the farm.

Just leave it to us.

Yeah.

If Yak goes back, who'll pick me up from school?

I do that every single day.

No, I don't want you to.

You keep hitting on my teacher.

- It's embarrassing. - What?

- You do that? - Huh? That's not true!

No wonder Yee's always late for dinner.

I was just talking with her teacher.

Stop making excuses.

- I can't believe you. - What's her name?

Miss Prakaisri.

Here. A gift for your child.

Thanks, Mom.

- You're done? - Yes.

Mom's still keeping everything in order.

Yee can sleep on her own now.

She doesn't need Mom anymore.

Yam must be happy

to see all of us together again.

Actually...

I'd like to return to the army.

I just worry about home.

Why? Don't think I can manage?

Hey, I'm not doubting you.

You're handling things very well.

I just want to make up for lost time.

You've done enough for us.

It's time to do something for yourself.

Private Yak, reporting for duty, sir!

The Royal Thai Army protects you

Digging moats, feeding fish too

- Some stealing from the forces - Walk straight!

- Always getting drunk, of course! - I'll join you.

I knew it! Move!

Stop!

Bro!

The house is a mess!

Stop!

Get back here.

I'm leaving, Yee.

Ped.

Bye-bye.

Boo!

You scared me!

I just wanted to ask

if you wanted to go home together.

I'm waiting for my brothers.

All right then. I'll see you around.

Yeah.

Aren't you leaving?

No!

Yak, help!

Yak, help!

Yak!

Yee!

Yee!

Yak, help me!

Darn it! Yee!

Yak, help me!

Yee!

- Yak! - Yee.

- Help! - Yee.

Yee!

Yee!

Yee!

Let her go.

I said, let her go.

- I'm here. - Yak!

Hey, are you all right?

Yee!

Yak!

Listen to my voice, Yee.

Yee!

Come back, Yee.

Stop, Yee!

Don't!

Yee.

It's me, Yee. Come back to me.

Yee!

Yee!

Yak, watch out!

What the hell is happening here?

Leave my sister alone.

Sarge,

how is that hell-spawn back here?

There's probably more than one of them.

Yak!

Yak.

- Please, you have to help Yee. - Mom, it's okay.

Yak, please find a way to save her.

Sarge.

Any ideas?

Anything to help us find Yee!

Sarge?

I know a way.

There are three rules for using a spirit board.

First,

only think about Yam.

Don't lose your focus.

Second, always keep your finger on the glass.

Last,

don't ever let the glass break.

Yam.

Please save Yee.

Do you think she'll come?

If she knows Yee is in danger,

no matter where she is,

Yam will come back.

Let's begin.

Bud...

Dho...

Dha...

Ya.

Bud...

Dho...

Dha...

Ya.

Bud...

Dho...

Dha...

Ya.

We call Yam's spirit

to enter this glass.

Are you here, Yam?

Is Yee safe?

Where

did they take her?

"Bongsanodbiang"?

Sarge?

Are we sure it's Yam?

Don't lose your focus!

Don't let go.

Sarge!

We've found their tracks leading into the cave.

- Kill all those captives! - Yes, sir!

Who did this?

It's exactly like the rumor.

This one is alive.

What happened here?

If you wish to save your sister,

follow me.

- Yak? - Yak!

- Yak! - Yak. Yak!

What's happening?

- Yak! - Yak!

- Talk to me. - Listen to me.

- Yak! - Yak.

- Yak! - Yak.

- Lift him up. - Yak!

Yak!

Yak?

Do you hear me?

Listen to my voice, Yak.

- Yak. - Come on, Yak.

Yak!

- Can you hear me? - Yak?

Yak, I'm coming too.

Dad,

you take care of everyone here.

Sarge and I will manage.

What's "Bongsanodbiang," Sarge?

"Bongsanodbiang" is said to be where spirits converge.

That place is crawling with the dead.

Nobody dares to step into that forest.

The authorities have tried sending troops there,

but all attempts ended in insanity or death.

They say the captives taken by the Japanese to build the railroad

fled to a nearby cave,

but were caught.

They were all executed there.

Take it easy.

Here.

Our ride ends here.

From here, it's on foot across the river.

What the...?

Yos?

You too, Yod?

Hi.

So if you guys are here,

who's taking care of the family, huh?

Dad sent us

to help you.

Come on.

Two heads are better than one.

We've got four, so we're definitely safe.

She's my sister too.

Exactly.

Ours.

Don't ever wander off.

Fine.

I know that already.

Hey! Guys! Sarge!

A ghost!

It's down here!

Something's under the water!

Let's go.

Yod?

Watch out, everyone.

Sarge!

Yos!

Yod!

Sarge!

See? I told you there was a ghost down there.

None of you listened!

Sarge, what now?

Bongsanodbiang is somewhere around here.

But I don't know where.

We should ask around. Someone will know.

There's no one here.

Yee!

Yee!

- Yak! - It's okay, Yee.

Poor you.

I'm scared.

It's okay. I'm here now.

I'm right here.

Don't worry.

Don't worry.

Yak, you're hurting me.

It's okay, Yee.

Yak?

Yak, it hurts.

Yak!

You're hurting me!

Yee.

You're not Yak.

I am him!

Don't you remember me?

A village?

Feels like a graveyard.

No one's around.

Excuse me.

It's okay.

Bongsanodbiang?

Hey. Hey!

Who are you?

Why do you want to go there?

We're looking for someone.

Can you show us the way?

Get rid of them.

Follow me.

I'm Yakhin.

That's my friend, Kongmu.

I'm Yak.

These two are Yos and Yod, my brothers.

And that's Sergeant Paphan.

Bongsanodbiang is a forest of lost souls.

Even seasoned hunters never make it back alive.

All of you

are heading straight to your graves.

But we have to go.

To get our sister back.

She's probably dead.

Just go back.

- What the heck? - She's alive!

My sister

is alive.

Why is this place so deserted anyway?

Eighty years ago,

an evil spirit attacked our village.

All the young women were killed.

1896

A pilgrim monk named Sayador sealed that evil spirit in a coffin.

He forbade anyone from entering the haunted forest after that.

That's a relief.

So the haunting ended.

That was just the beginning.

It all happened during the war.

Japanese soldiers raided our village.

They looted the food and forced residents to build the railroad.

All who resisted or tried to escape were killed.

We have to do this.

But it's forbidden!

We're already living in hell.

Nothing can get any worse.

Fueled by resentment toward the Japanese soldiers,

Mawae, the village shaman,

broke Sayador's rule and unleashed the evil spirit

to make the Japanese soldiers suffer.

Keep chanting!

Run, Mom. Run!

Mom!

The spirit was released,

but no one could control it.

And with it came death.

It slaughtered everyone.

No one survived...

except Mawae, who was left in a living nightmare.

Everyone calls that evil spirit "Dà Yòu."

It whispers a deathly chant wherever it goes.

A chant?

The living use it to raise the dead,

while the dead use it

to put the living into a trance.

That must be it.

There's no hope for you.

You fucked with the wrong family, you goddamn ghost.

My sister is in danger.

Even if we have to go through hell,

we will get her back.

You can rest here.

That won't be necessary.

Just tell us the way.

It's a deadly forest,

shrouded in mystery.

Go in at night,

and you'll be hunted down by spirits before you know it.

When dawn breaks,

Kongmu and I will take you there.

We should trust the locals, you know.

Yos, Yod, get some rest.

We depart at first light.

You should rest too.

Yak!

Yak!

Yak!

Yak!

Yak!

Yak!

Who are you?

Who the fuck are you?

Where's my sister?

Tell me!

- Yak! - Yak!

Yak!

- Yak! - Yak!

Yak!

Yak!

Yak!

Hey!

- Yak! - Sarge, what do we do?

- Yak! - Yak!

- Yak! - Yak!

- What? Yak? - Yak?

Yak!

What happened?

Yak.

Yak.

How did you find me?

Yakhin. She told us to save you.

Is it going to be a girl or a boy?

Mm, so sweet.

It must be a boy.

Can I have him?

Do you have the guts to pull the trigger?

I'm Yee, not Yam.

You're not my sister.

After Puang fled to Dong Khomot,

that evil spirit settled here

before wandering elsewhere.

Mawae must have become its host,

just like Chuay and Puang.

Mawae has guts,

resurrecting that hell-spawn for revenge.

It must have been her only option.

They say Dà Yòu loathes soldiers.

No wonder it beat the hell out of Yak.

We're here.

Holly spirits, please guide us to Yee.

This is a forbidden forest.

Your talismans and spells won't work in there.

Those are sacred bells.

They help ward off evil spirits.

They chime when danger draws close.

You should take one each.

Are you sure they work?

Only if you believe.

Don't both of you need them too?

We locals don't need one.

Yod!

I saw Yee!

Hold on!

Where's Yod?

Yod!

Yod!

Yod!

Yod!

Yak?

Yod!

- Yod. - Yak?

Sarge?

Yod!

Shit!

Shit!

Yod!

Yod!

Yod!

He must be near.

- Yod! - Yod!

Yod!

Quiet!

What was that?

Must be Pong Kang.

What? Never heard of them.

They're forest spirits.

Like leaf monkeys, but way bigger.

They hunt in packs and feed on the blood of their prey.

They can feed on my bullets.

Come on!

Sarge.

Remember Khao Kwang?

Get down!

The enchanted bullets don't work, Sarge.

They're afraid of fire.

Yos, watch out!

Come on.

Let me borrow this.

Here.

Swoop at me all you want.

Come on.

Come on!

How's your hand?

Hurts like hell.

We already told you,

your weapons won't work in here!

You're pissing off spirits.

Drop your gun.

I'd rather have it even if I don't use it.

You have to listen while you're in here,

or we'll all end up dead.

I'm not afraid.

I'm going to find my sister and take her home.

Shit!

Yod!

Yos!

Yos!

Yos!

Yos!

Yak.

If you wish to save your sister, follow me.

I've been here before.

What? When?

When we used the spirit board.

It wanted me to come here.

Let's go.

Wait.

Remember this.

From here on out,

you need to keep your guard up.

Stay alert, Sarge.

Sarge?

Looks like a worship ritual.

Not worshipping,

but subduing the evil spirit.

Sayador knew the spirit would return,

so he had his disciples paint this to warn other people.

Yee.

Yee!

Yee!

Sarge?

Yak?

Yak!

Yak!

Yak!

Yak!

Watch out!

This way!

Are you sure they work?

Only if you believe.

This way.

Don't!

That might not be your sister.

Yak.

Help me, Yak.

Yad!

- Yak. - Yad.

- What are you doing here? - I was taken here.

Damn it!

It lured us here to wake that spirit.

Let's get out of here.

Yee.

Yee!

Wake up, Yee!

Yee.

Wake up, Yee!

Yee.

It's me.

I'm here.

Yee...

It's me, Yak.

See? It's me.

I'm getting you out, all right?

Yak?

It's all right.

I'm right here. It's going to be okay.

What about those spirits?

Don't worry. I'm right here.

If they show up,

I'll punch them in the face.

Bam!

Come. Let's get out of here.

- Let's go. - This way.

Come.

Yee?

Come on.

Yak?

Yak?

What are you doing?

That evil spirit

killed tons of people.

Why do you want to wake it up?

As long as humans roam,

war will follow.

Dà Yòu gave me a new life.

My people and I will live forever.

At the expense of other people's lives?

I don't care about other people as long as we survive.

I must live to protect the land of my ancestors.

What kind of hellish spirit is this?

And why do you revere it?

Dà Yòu hates two things.

War

and love.

The stronger their love,

the more Dà Yòu wants to make them suffer.

And this?

This is what I get?!

I will have my revenge on you all!

That is one wicked spirit, all right.

Too bad

I already sent it back to hell.

Dà Yòu only returned to her slumber.

I'll awaken her again with a new, worthy host.

A tooth from the host.

Yak...

And blood from the one who defeated Dà Yòu.

Yak!

Yak...

Yak!

Yak.

The offering is ready.

Now we just need

an untainted soul.

- Yak... - With this, Dà Yòu will regain her power.

No!

After tonight,

Dà Yòu will rise again.

My people and I will live forever.

You old fucking hag! Take me instead!

Now, the gate of hell opens.

Leave my baby alone.

- No! - Yad!

- Yad! - No!

No! Don't!

No!

- No! Don't! - Yad!

Yad!

- No! - Yad!

Look out!

No!

Help Yee first. Hurry up!

Sarge, how does your gun work?

Those sacred bells are holy.

They have mercury sealed inside.

The mural on the wall...

Sayador sealed that evil spirit in the coffin.

We must put mercury into its forehead.

Only a strong-willed person can get rid of them for good.

I loaded the bullets with mercury.

But there's only one left.

You can't miss.

Take care of everyone. I'll handle this.

Get up.

Come on. Hurry up!

- Yad! - Hey!

Yak!

Kongmu!

Yakhin...

- Yak. - Yad.

Sarge.

- Yad. - Are you all right?

Yad.

- Yad? - I can't...

- Sarge! - Sarge?

Yak! Yad's about to give birth! The baby's coming out.

What... what do we do, Sarge?

Yak, what should we...?

- Yak. - Sarge, can you deliver a baby?

I deal with herbs, not childbirth!

You're our best hope now!

Come on, Sarge.

- Please. - Help her.

- Push, dear. Push. - Push.

A bit more.

Push!

- A little more. - Push.

Now, one more time.

Dà Yòu...

Keep pushing.

One more time, Yad.

Push!

- Come on. - One more time. Push!

Almost there. Push!

Yak, you're an uncle now.

Yak.

It's a boy. A boy.

Yad.

Our doctor.

Sarge!

- Sarge! - Sarge!

I'm back, Yak.

How many times do I have to kill you, huh?

Damn it!

Please help me, Puth.

- Yak! - Yak!

I'll take Yee's body

and devour the fucking rest of you.

An untainted soul.

We released you,

but you slaughtered us all.

We dead people don't die twice.

You've killed me before.

It won't work again.

You pieces of shit can't do anything to me!

The birth water is holy. The power of life can undo all evil!

Kongmu!

Kongmu!

Yod!

It's time to stop tormenting my family, you shit-faced ghost.

Send it back to hell before the gate closes!

Sarge! Hang in there.

Sarge!

Please stay with me.

Stay with me, Sarge.

Yak!

Come back, Yak!

Yak...

Yak!

- Yak! - Yak!

- Yak! - Yak!

Yak...

Yak.

Yak...

I sent it back to hell, all right?

It can't come back anymore.

Hey.

Sarge?

Sarge.

Sarge.

Hey, you still with me?

- Hey, you still with me? - You're going to be all right.

Live a good life, little one.

Yak.

I don't think I'm making it.

You've been through worse. This is nothing, right?

I'll take you home.

All right? Let's go.

- Yes. Let's go home, Sarge. - You can do it.

I'm so happy

that you all can finally be together.

Life's too short, you know.

Be kind to each other. Cherish every moment together.

No matter what happens,

stay together.

Never let go.

Sarge.

Sarge...

Sarge.

Yak.

Please tell Nampetch...

to forgive me for never telling her how much I love her.

No. You'll be able to do that yourself.

Sarge...

I promised her I would come back...

but I don't think I'll be able to keep my word.

Please, Sarge...

Yak.

- Look after her, will you? - Sarge...

- Sarge? - Sarge?

- Sarge! - No!

Sarge!
