“The Exorcist Priest”

One who performs this role

must be pure in both life and spirit.

They undergo training in ritual practice,

psychology, and theology,

and must be officially appointed by the bishop,

the head of the ecclesiastical jurisdiction.

Currently, there are 28 priests in Thailand

who have been appointed as exorcists

on behalf of the Catholic Church of Thailand.

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy Kingdom come.

Thy will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

Stop. She's going to die from the pain.

If the demon takes hold of her body,

we'll lose her forever.

Are you hurt, my child?

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Mom, I can't take it anymore!

Thy Kingdom come...

Mom, it hurts so much!

Thy will be done,

on earth

as it is in heaven.

Why is she turning so fast?

Has it been inside your child

for more than three days?

I'll fucking devour this girl!

Tell me! Has it been more than three days?

More than three days

and she'll become like your husband.

We must end her life

before the demon kills all of us.

Please help her! Do something!

It's too late, Saeng.

If you don't kill it now, it'll go on a rampage.

I'll gouge out your fucking eyes.

I'm sorry, child!

Forgive me!

40 Years Later

Get the hell out!

Get out of our village!

Get out now!

Close it now or Old Ming will come

and bite your head off!

Sis, have they caught Old Ming?

Quiet. Or he'll come and get you.

Scram!

It's not a dog out there.

Get me the phone.

Hey! Why don't you lock the door properly?!

It's broken.

Hide there. I'll go catch the gut-sucking phob .

Got it?

Your video is being uploaded.

What're you doing?

Old Ming is a phob.

Help!

Go to the window!

Jump!

Help!

Don't hurt her!

Think of your own daughter!

Come here, child.

Come here.

Father Somchai,

Please help Ming.

I implore St. Michael the Archangel.

Defend us in battle. Be our protection

against the world-rulers of this darkness,

against the spiritual forces of wickedness

in the heavenly places.

Your dad passed away. Come home now.

Aunt Saeng, do you hear me?

Aunt Saeng, speak up.

Aunt Saeng?

TO: SAKON NAKHON

Have you seen the clip I sent?

The situation in Tharae is rather unsettling.

Never seen anything like this!

A dog couldn't do this!

The diocese has reviewed the case...

Look!

...and ruled that this isn't

just an ordinary mental illness.

That man used to be a priest.

A priest?

He's a gut-sucking phob! Kill him!

Forty years ago,

Ming performed an unauthorized exorcism

that resulted in a girl's death.

After leaving the priesthood,

he has lived as if the devil had possessed him.

People around him kept dying mysteriously.

It doesn't feel like the devil's work,

probably just some wild, savage ghost.

We can't rush to that conclusion.

Ming started by eating the villagers' fowl

and cattle, but now he hunts humans.

The devil uses every trick to lure us into darkness,

to make us feel alone and abandoned

until we forget that we're always held

in the loving arms of God.

Yes, Father.

I'll reveal that truth to everyone.

ThaRae The Exorcist

Sakon Nakhon

Blessings to all townsfolk.

Today I'll be performing the Egg Divination ritual.

A priest is on his way from Bangkok.

Didn't see any here.

Can you wait a little?

I can, but these people can't.

And what's with this TikTok fancy pants?

Sopha is the Northeast's number-one yao witch doctor.

Phob, Phong, Prai he pockets them all

like it's nothing.

And this is really important.

An absolute must.

Dutch Mill Soghurt.

Rejuvenating.

Refreshing.

Sparkling!

I welcome advertisers,

but I don't welcome uninvited ghosts.

This vintage phuthai shawl is rather exquisite, no?

Ghosts fear this kind of weaving pattern.

The more intricate, the stronger the protection.

I wove them all myself.

DM me if you want one.

Oh, really.

If this stubborn ghost refuses to leave,

I'll chop its damn neck right off!

May I invite the Old Master Healers to gather.

May you sit down

and take a cigarette break over yonder.

May you rest well in this house proper.

May I invite the Ancestral Ghosts

to come down here...

and gather.

May I invite the Ancestral Ghosts

to move this egg and give me answers.

Ancestral Ghosts, may I ask...

is the ghost that possesses Ming a white-man ghost

or is it a Thai ghost lurking nearby?

The egg stands up!

If it's a Thai ghost, put the egg down.

It's down!

Sure it is.

It's down.

Next question.

Should we let a priest get involved in this affair?

How dare you! You're disrespecting my faith!

Sure he can ask!

All of us here want to know, right?

Yes!

Bitch!

Enough!

Look!

This is phob herb.

I picked it from Old Ming's backyard.

No ordinary person grows phob herb at home.

Ancestral Ghosts! Last question...

Has Old Ming become a phob?

Have you picked up Father Paolo?

He's with me now, Father.

What's taking you so long?

We'll be there real soon.

Okay, drive carefully.

Yes, sir.

Stop!

Stop!

Keep playing!

It's lusting for blood again. Be careful.

Step back!

Come help me!

Restrain him!

Pin him down.

I'll fucking devour you!

God, please give me strength.

O God the Almighty, who bestows life after death

and rest after toil.

There is no God but God...

God, the Creator of all things,

visible and invisible.

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy Kingdom come.

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Go! Go!

It's jammed!

Open it!

Open!

Shit!

Witch doctor!

It has my sword!

Do you have another shawl to spare?

Only one left. Sorry.

By the power of the Father,

the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

I command you, phob demon,

to be extinguished and vanish from this world.

Amen.

Dad!

Call an ambulance. He's not breathing.

Thank you.

Go home safely.

Dad, how are you feeling?

Get out...

Get out...

Get out of my house.

Get out of my house!

How could you say such a thing!

She's your daughter.

Fine. I never wanted to come back anyway.

Easy there, my niece.

You're tired. Go get some rest.

Malee.

Father Paolo wants to speak to you.

About what?

Is he gonna ask me

how many wives my dad has eaten?

I'm Father Paolo.

I'm tasked with investigating

supernatural phenomena believed to originate

from unidentifiable malicious entities.

I have only one question.

Before your father fell, what did you see?

What made you look so shocked?

Nothing.

I hadn't seen him in years, so...

If you wish to talk about this further,

come find me at the church.

I don't believe in mumbo-jumbo.

Can I sleep over at your place?

Well, I don't want to sleep at my dad's house.

Okay.

Good night.

You haven't been back in ages,

will you be staying here for a long time?

I wasn't dying to come back.

But Aunt Saeng lied that my father was dead.

Malee, do you remember

when you asked me to teach you to drive

and we almost crashed into the canal?

If you're still mad at me

for running off to work in Korea,

go on and hate me, I understand.

But I still love you just like before.

Who's out here walking in the dark?

Is she deaf or what?

Fuck!

Back up!

Back up!

Since his last wife died,

a demon has taken over him.

Ming's turned into a raving lunatic,

the villagers have run out of patience with him.

Who is she?

Sriprae, his first wife.

Malee's mother.

After he married Sriprae,

Ming became obsessed with black magic

and...

became everyone's worst problem.

Are you a family?

Sister-in-law.

Do you know why Ming left the priesthood?

He's a sinner.

How can a sinner remain a priest?

Mom.

My child...

The priest wants to put you in the hospital.

If you don't want to go, then eat some.

I'm not going.

How could you not?

You're seriously messed up.

I'll have to fight them.

Quit being so crazy. I'm tired of babysitting you.

Come on, eat!

Malee.

Dad.

Help!

I'll fucking devour you!

Malee!

Malee...

Father...

I need your help.

O Lord, our savior, our refuge in times of trouble.

Deliver your faithful servant Malee

from the snares of the devil,

and from the sacrilegious words of intruders.

Shelter her under your outspread wings,

and protect her with your power...

We'll keep praying all night.

Let us pray together.

That's all we can do?

It's nearly dawn.

That's what we can do for now.

O Lord, our savior, our refuge in times of trouble.

Deliver your faithful servant Malee

from the snares of the devil

and from the sacrilegious words of intruders.

Shelter her under your outspread wings,

Go and get some rest.

I'll keep watch here.

I'm at Puek's now. Come here, quick.

Who's that?

The kaen musician?

Hm.

Look, haven't you learned your lesson?

I was almost killed

because we performed the exorcism at night.

But in broad daylight, I'll get it good.

Puek!

How's Ming?

Lying sick at home.

It's good that way. Saves everyone from trouble.

If you hadn't come, it would've been worse.

Are you going to a dance?

Sopha is a yao witch doctor.

A witch doctor?

Yes. Told him not to come but he insisted.

He really wants to help Malee.

Father,

I believe Malee is the cause of all this havoc.

To fix it, we have to fix Malee.

Let me help you.

If you really want to help,

join us in a prayer.

And one more thing,

please step out of the ritual area.

Father, I'll take over from here.

Excuse me.

A ghost-busting weapon?

Just kidding.

O Lord, our savior, our refuge in times of trouble.

Deliver your faithful servant Malee

from the snares of the devil

and from the sacrilegious words of intruders.

Shelter her under your outspread wings,

and protect her with your power

like an all-embracing shield.

By the power of Jesus...

Father!

Son.

Can you hear me?

Son.

Son.

I'm right here.

I'm right here.

I can't see you, Mom.

Mom.

I'm here.

I'm here.

Right here.

Mom.

Mom.

What happened, Mom?

Paolo.

Mom!

Mom!

My son.

Mom!

Let go of me.

Mom.

Mom!

Don't be scared.

Let me go!

It won't hurt.

Don't do it, Mom!

Mom.

Don't do it!

You'll taste bliss, like I do.

Let me go!

I'll do it.

Ritual kaen player!

Set up the worship items.

What're you gonna do?

Summon ancestral ghosts to help.

Mom! Mom!

You've slept for a long time, Father.

Sorry I jacked your holy water.

Pretty potent. Helped calm Malee.

Where is she now?

Aunt Saeng took her home.

She can't stay here.

A possessed person needs to stay at home.

They're better off in their element.

What happened to me seemed so real.

I was about to summon ancestral ghosts to rescue you

but the worship mirror

just shattered right in my palm.

So I was saved by those things?

Not really. A little bit of everything I guess.

So you can beat the ghost.

Says who? I hadn't even started the ritual.

More like a coincidence.

There's no such thing as coincidence.

It's either the will of God

or the wish of someone...

or something.

Are these cushions really necessary?

Of course, they are.

In case both father and daughter run rampage,

they won't hurt themselves.

You shouldn't have lied to Malee.

She came back and the ghost got her.

What lie did I tell her?

You texted her, didn't you?

Here, look.

I hadn't been in touch with her for a long time.

Don't believe everything she said.

Tharae is an old Catholic village

founded during the reign of King Rama V.

It's the largest Catholic community in Thailand.

However, many villagers still practice animism

and spirit worship.

I believe we're up against a demon.

Do you think it's the same demon from 40 years ago

that possesses Ming and Malee now?

I can't say for sure.

That incident happened before I came here.

But the demon seems to target only this family.

It's not unusual for a Catholic

to also believe in ghost worship.

As people keep offering gifts

and devotion to these ghosts,

they grow stronger

and gain the power to make things happen.

Their strength is fueled by items of worship.

People all over the world hold different beliefs.

They call these entities angels, devils, or Satan.

But here, the general term we use is ghosts.

You look good dressed like this.

This is how I look off-duty.

I have to put on makeup and a costume

whenever I'm on call as a witch doctor.

And I have to walk and talk like a woman too,

I hope you don't mind.

Thank you for saving me.

How's your hand?

Messed up.

How long have you been doing this?

Since I can remember.

That long?

My grandma raised me. She was also a witch doctor.

I went with her everywhere since I was a child.

So when she died, I was asked to imitate her.

"Imitate" is a jargon term, Father.

It means I've become a medium

for my ancestral ghosts,

drawing on their spiritual strength to help people.

I'll tell you more if you like.

A yao doctor is a healer.

What can you heal?

Whatever modern medicine fails to cure.

Well... even Covid.

Come on.

It was before the treatment was available.

I had to help the villagers however I could.

I can also find missing cattle.

You should join The Avengers.

You don't believe me?

But yeah, there are charlatans among us.

Fake yao healers who deceive people for money.

They make life difficult for real healers.

So how do you know which one is fake?

Just look at how they set up the worship items.

This one claims she's worshipping ancestral spirits.

But look at the stuff on the tray.

A bowl, a comb, a mirror,

then the red soda,

the scented water, the rice whisky.

They're helter-skelter, so she's a fake.

A chaotic ritual like this

may attract malevolent ghosts.

Someone might get sick and even die.

You and I live in two different worlds.

Yours worships God.

Mine worships ghosts.

But your ghosts left you wounded.

Nah, there are good and bad ghosts.

If it weren't for my ghost ritual...

you might end up...

Kidding.

When I first saw you,

I knew you were the real deal.

What made you slip up?

I have a weakness and the demon attacked it.

If we're going to perform another exorcism,

the demon won't make it easy on us.

It'll lock me up in that nightmare again.

So what do we do?

Can you try that ritual again?

The one you did to save my life?

I'm not so sure.

A female yao doctor is probably better at this.

Daytime for humans is nighttime for ghosts.

Daytime for ghosts is nighttime for humans.

To defeat the tormenting ghosts,

we choose the darkest hour in the ghost world.

Some time after noon, like now.

But never when twilight descends.

That's daybreak for the ghosts.

Take a gulp.

Is this even drinkable? I don't think so.

It'll put fire in our ritual.

Let's set up the worship items, Auntie.

We're wasting people's time.

Kiddo, you're still green so don't argue.

Your grandma and I

vanquished so many mean ghosts together.

Drink up, or I'll leave.

Put a spur in your step before you dance, alright?

I solemnly invite you to the procession

and admire the finest silk.

These fine bracelets on my arms,

the rings on my fingers...

What has gone amiss I will make it up grander,

so everything is complete

before you rightfully enter.

O Lord, our savior, our refuge in times of trouble.

Deliver your faithful servant Malee

from the snares of the devil

and from the sacrilegious words of intruders.

Shelter her under your outspread wings,

I solemnly invite you

to savor the rice in this basket,

to relish the rice in the wooden bowl,

all these beautiful things waiting for you.

The nine-chambered basket so exquisite and refined,

your ride awaits, elephant and equine.

By the power of God,

like an all-embracing shield.

By the power of Jesus Christ.

and be her savior.

Wicked minds and dark lords,

hellish assaults from vile enemies,

legions and armies of the devil,

I banish you in the name

and by the power of Jesus Christ.

O Lord, may you uproot and cast out all evils

from the Church of God,

from the soul you created in your own image.

This is no ordinary ghost!

I give up!

I won't fight anymore!

Perversion! Madness!

Your whole family's going to suffer a violent death!

In the name of St. Michael the Archangel.

Defend us in battle against the wickedness

and shelter us from the snares of the devil.

We implore you to issue your divine command.

O Prince of Heavenly Host!

Cast down Satan and all the evil spirits

that roam the world seeking to harm souls,

By the power of God,

cast them into hell!

Amen.

Auntie... Are you okay?

How's the situation, Paolo?

Bishop,

the demon killed a local witch doctor.

The villagers are not happy with us.

It killed someone?

Yes, it has the power to control the human body.

I never witnessed anything so powerful.

If it's that strong,

then we don't have much time left.

We have to defeat it

before it completely takes hold of Malee.

Find out its name

and say it to God.

Yes, Bishop.

I'll do my best.

Lucia Suree Toivo.

Born June 4, 1976. Died October 30, 1985.

Forty years ago,

Ming tried to save your daughter from a demon.

Do you think it's the same demon

that we're facing now?

You should know better than anyone.

All I know is

this demon keeps hounding you.

It killed your husband.

Your daughter.

And it killed all of Ming's wives.

But why does it still reside within Ming?

If it's actually the same demon,

it should have killed Ming already.

Maybe there are many demons out there,

just like dead bodies in this cemetery.

Truth is, I want it to finish him off already.

I'm tired, Father.

Tired of taking care of them.

If I knew,

I would tell you.

But I don't know anything.

I'm a servant of God,

but sometimes I can't help wondering

if He is listening.

Every time I pray,

all I get in return is silence.

And yet I keep praying,

because deep down,

I believe He is always listening.

(Chanting a spell)

Puek, can you stay with Aunt Saeng tonight?

Yes, Father.

It's so dark here.

Not a single light on.

Aunt Saeng!

Malee!

Malee!

Malee!

Malee!

Malee!

Malee!

Malee!

Malee!

Malee!

Malee!

Malee!

It's buffalo entrails.

So filthy, damn it.

At least she didn't eat her own father.

Must have been some stray jungle ghost.

You mean phob?

If it was a phob, Puek would be dead already.

The phob don't run away from people.

When they see us, they attack us.

I think it's a filth-eating phong that's got Malee.

A phong ghost?

Is Malee gonna be fine?

I... already called out her name.

You called out her name?

What's the matter?

If you call out their names

or expose them to bright light,

the phong might be shocked to death.

We need to find Malee.

She can't have gotten far.

Puek!

O Lord, please protect and help us...

I'll turn this wooden stick

into a demon-slaying club.

If the demon persists, I'll smash it with a hammer.

This spell-drenched rope will whip the demon away

like evaporating rain!

She's safe now.

Puek, take Malee home.

I'll take him to the hospital.

The phong are low-class bottom feeders.

They don't usually attack people.

That spell she recited...

it's more than just a phong.

Are you saying

there's more than one demon inside Malee?

What's the meaning of that spell?

It's an exorcism chant.

After Ming married Sriprae,

he became obsessed with black magic.

I think the demon that hurt us

is still inside Malee.

But how come a phong ghost could possess her too?

This is all too strange.

Shit!

What's that?

Vomit.

Everything's fine now, you can leave.

Goddamnit.

Go, just go home.

Let them rest.

Puek, get your mosquito net ready.

You're sleeping here, right?

Yes.

Your sin is heavy,

that's why you suffer in your old age.

This is already the third day

Malee has been possessed.

Let's see how

you're gonna to save your dear daughter.

Get out!

Get out!

Get out!

Lord, bless this water to save our souls!

Yes, Father.

Puek, keep an eye on Aunt Saeng.

Lab results show

traces of sedatives in Ming's vomit.

Damn.

Yes, Father.

Time to eat.

Eat up, so you'll feel better.

Aunt Saeng, what have you been feeding me?

Why are you doing this?

Listen, when you can't control yourself,

you're a burden.

So eat it...

Eat and go to sleep, make it easier for everyone.

Eat!

Don't be so difficult.

Don't fight!

I don't want to eat!

Come on!

Eat!

I said eat! Now!

Eat! Eat it!

Open your mouth!

Mighty spirits, lend me power and make them sleep!

Sleep and be gone!

Malee, Malee.

We still have time. The day's not over yet.

Old Ming?

Malee!

I put a phob in my body to suppress the demon,

and you chased it out.

I put a phong in Malee to suppress the demon,

and you chased it out too!

You've forced me to take extreme measures.

I swear I saw Old Ming drive out this way.

Calm down, it's fine.

We'll circle back and start over.

Impossible! Why is she turning so fast?

Has it been inside your child

for more than three days?

More than three days

and she'll become like your husband.

We must end her life

before the demon kills all of us.

Please help her! Do something!

It's too late, Saeng.

Sleep now, child. I'll sing you a lullaby.

I won't sleep.

I'll gouge out your fucking eyes.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

Don't be afraid.

I'm sorry!

Puek!

Puek!

You alright?

I've been here before. Some of my fans live nearby.

Let's go.

Untie me! What're you going to do to me?

I'll cast the demon out of Malee

and let it devour you instead.

Hi, can I buy some eggs?

Hi, healer. Yes, sure.

You want to help your child.

I want to help my child too.

I was told...

if he gets to eat Malee, he'll release my child.

Who told you that?

The Great Ghost, in my dream.

What're you talking about? In your dream?

Who came to your dream?!

The demon inside your fucking daughter!

You bitch!

It's almost three days.

You can't help your daughter.

Let me go!

What the fuck are you doing?

I think we should stop.

Night's coming.

We're just wasting our time.

Night is even better for the ritual.

That's how I draw

on the strength of the ancestral ghosts.

Somebody help me!

Ancestral Ghosts, are you with me now?

Aunt Saeng!

Aunt Saeng!

Get away from me.

Mom died because of you, right?

Malee, you got me wrong.

It's not like that.

The egg's standing up!

Grandma, is the person

we're looking for already dead?

Shall we go north?

No? Shall we go east?

Check the map.

There's a vast field?

Is it near the river, Grandma?

The demon had devoured me

but somehow I was still alive.

Then I met your mother Sriprae.

This demon is beyond my power.

You need to let a phob

and a phong inside you to suppress it.

That way you won't suffer so much.

This mirror is an ancient worship item.

Where did you get it?

It's from my grandparents' time.

No wonder the demon only targets your family.

Once you keep a ghost inside you,

you can't neglect it.

Is there a way to fix it?

After that, the demon lay dormant.

I married Sriprae.

But after you were born, the demon woke up.

Ming, you'll need to keep marrying someone

so the demon can have them instead of our daughter.

Promise me...

You'll take care of our child.

Protect her

since I can no longer do that.

Your mother sacrificed her life to protect you.

Whenever the demon woke up,

I had to make an offering of another life.

I had to marry someone to keep the demon sated.

Dad, what you did was wrong.

If you have to deceive

or kill people to save my life,

then I don't want to live.

I just can't let Sripare's sacrifice be in vain.

Dad.

Grandma, last question.

Is it a Catholic church?

A church?

But there's no church there.

Grandma said there is one.

I saw a photo of an old church at Ming's house.

That church is in Nong Harn

but it was abandoned years ago.

That's why it's not on the map.

Let's go there.

Kid, do you have a kaen?

Welcome the Master residing in the Heavens.

Welcome the Master residing in the Realm of Mist.

I solemnly invite you to reside next to me.

Welcome the Master residing in the Heavens.

Welcome the Master residing in the Realm of Mist.

I solemnly invite you...

I don't want this old hag.

I want your daughter.

Your daughter must end up like my daughter!

Shut up!

Malee will turn into a ghost

and my child will be free.

You can't help her.

Call her name!

Call and bring her back!

Call it out loud!

Shut up!

Sing her a lullaby

like I did to my child.

I'll make you the sacrificial offering.

What the hell are you doing?

When I die, you'll have nothing to feed the demon!

I won't let you fucking have me!

Dad.

I'm in so much pain...

Dad, help me.

Dad, help me.

Malee, no!

How could I kill my own daughter!

Back then, you killed Saeng's daughter.

Now, this is the only way to save her.

I can't do it.

I can't!

You've been through unbearable suffering.

You don't want Malee to suffer like you.

Ming, stop!

Leave me alone!

Go away.

Believe me.

We can defeat this demon.

Just tell me its name.

And have faith in God.

Get out.

Malee, no!

For the sake of God.

Has it taken you?

Don't let it take over you.

Your God has forsaken you all.

Go check Ming's worship items.

Do you want to know who I am?

Malee!

Puek, come back!

Can you tell what kind of demon it is?

Malee

These are the offerings for the Thaen ghost.

but a human is added to the sacrifice.

From the setup,

Saeng was the principal sacrifice of the ritual.

In ancient times,

human sacrifices were not unusual.

What do you mean?

The Thaen doesn't usually possess humans.

I want to know its real name.

By saying the demon's name to God,

we can defeat it.

Malee.

Malee.

No witch doctors want to risk

fighting the Thaen ghost.

Even if we won, all would be ruined.

It's an exalted spirit,

the source of our spiritual energy.

Just tell me its name.

The Great Thaen Ghost of the Heavens.

O Father who art in heaven,

hallowed by thy name...

You sold your friends out to save your own ass.

How could you live with that?

Puek!

Puek!

Puek!

Puek!

Puek!

I'm right here.

Turn around and you're dead.

You can't touch me, Paolo.

You're not innocent.

Lord, please give me strength.

I won't give it!

Paolo.

Paolo.

The drug...

The drug...

Give it to me.

Give it to me, son.

Don't do it.

Don't...

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

You hated that she was a burden.

So you wanted to kill her.

Then you felt guilty

and ran away to become a priest.

I wonder if your God knows how vile you are.

Where is your God now?

Come and check out this scum.

He killed his own mother.

Your God doesn't exist.

Only I can help you.

Worship me.

Bow at my feet.

And I will set you free.

The devil uses every trick

to lure us into darkness,

to make us feel alone and abandoned

until we forget that we're always held

in the loving arms of God.

I'm sorry.

I don't want to live anymore.

Be a light that illuminates the path

and guides them back.

God bless you.

Drive the ghost out of Malee's body,

then I can get rid of it.

O Great Thaen Ghost,

return now to your realm, to your heavenly abode.

I hereby sever all ties and destinies between us.

O lordly ghost,

do not stoop to muck around in this filth.

Return to your celestial home,

and I shall forever worship you.

May you never concern yourself with this life again.

May you mount your noble steed

and gallop forth to your heavenly abode.

I humbly beg you.

Grandma.

In the name of the Father,

the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

I command you,

the Great Thaen Ghost of the Heavens,

to be extinguished and vanish from this world.

Amen.

Your accent was perfect.

When you say 'The Great Thaen Ghost of the Heavens'.

I learned from the master.

The police found only Saeng's body.

Old Ming must have run away.

Father, this is such a magnificent celebration.

Oh, thank you. We got help from so many people.

Thanks to them.

Of course. Now excuse me.

Malee, how're you doing?

Any news about your father?

Nobody's seen him.

But that's fine.

I'll go back to Bangkok after Christmas anyway.

Don't worry. I pray for him every day.

God will protect him.

I'm not sure about that.

Whether he's alive or dead,

I never want to see him again.

And I don't think I'll ever come back here.

Everything is in God's hands.

You'll never know.

And you?

Want to go ghostbusting in Bangkok with me?

Nah.

I can only bust northeastern ghosts.

Besides, my grandma's spirit has vanished

with the Great Thaen Ghost.

I can't help you anyway.

Let's walk around.

Yes.

Theresa Sangdao Tarajit.

Hi, Paolo. Are you back from Sakon Nakhon?

Yes, Father.

I'm visiting my mother's grave.

Good.

What can I do for you, Father?

Well, there's something I need your help with.

But it can wait. Until you're ready.

Yes.
