﻿The locals here have believed in spirits for ages.
﻿Maybe even before there was any religion.
﻿But, the meaning of spirits for Isan people
﻿might not be the same as for most.
﻿We believe everything that goes beyond nature
﻿is all called spirits,
﻿not just the souls of dead people.
﻿We believe spirits are in every single thing,
﻿In houses,
﻿in forests, in mountains,
﻿in trees,
﻿in rice fields.
﻿Every area has spirits. All of it.
﻿In 2018, a documentary team traveled
﻿all over Thailand to study the lives of shamans.
﻿After interviewing many shamans,
﻿the team decided to study the life of Nim.
﻿The shaman of 'Goddess Ba Yan'.
﻿For Isan people, spirits have many types,
﻿such as Phee Fah, Phee Tan,
﻿Phee Sua, Phee Ban, Phee Muang...
﻿They're all spirits.
﻿There are good spirits that protect us,
﻿and evil spirits
﻿that haunt us and make us sick.
﻿And the spirit within you, who is it?
﻿Let me say it in central dialect,
﻿They call it 'possessing.'
﻿In Isan, they call it 'Ma Tiam.'
﻿I'm the shaman for Goddess Ba Yan.
﻿Ba Yan is an ancestral spirit.
﻿She's a good spirit
﻿who has protected the villages for a long time.
﻿Actually, no one knows who She is or where She's from.
﻿But they've paid respect to Her for many generations.
﻿'Shaman Bloodline'
﻿A documentary about the shaman inheritance in a family.
﻿My family has been Ba Yan's shaman for many generations.
﻿Ever since I was born,
﻿I saw my grandmother as Her medium.
﻿Ba Yan only chooses women to be Her medium.
﻿Lots of locals would come to see us.
﻿Every year we do a ceremony. A very big one.
﻿The locals will ask
﻿how the village will fare for the coming year.
﻿After my grandmother died,
﻿the next person to inherit Ba Yan was my aunt.
﻿After my aunt, the next shaman was supposed to be Noi, my elder sister,
﻿but Noi declined the inheritance.
﻿Ba Yan then chose..
﻿me instead.
﻿Don't shamans have to shake their bodies or change their voices?
﻿You might have watched too much TV.
﻿It doesn't have to be like that.
﻿As you've seen, people come see me every day.
﻿Some come to heal their sickness.
﻿Some ask for blessings or wishes.
﻿Some repay their wishes
﻿with offerings of a jar of liquor and a chicken.
﻿Tell me what happened?
﻿My husband found this cobra and made liquor out of it.
﻿I told him not to drink it, but he didn't listen.
﻿His arms and legs went numb. He doesn't have any strength.
﻿Where did you get it from?
﻿I got it from the cemetery.
﻿This is the cause of your misery, paying for your bad karma.
﻿Because you're drinking the soul that resided in this animal.
﻿Can you treat every illness?
﻿If someone has cancer and they come to see me...
﻿they will die for sure.
﻿I can only treat illnesses that happen from the unseen
﻿such as black magic,
﻿or if a spirit has harmed you, I can cure it.
﻿But if it's a normal illness, I advise you go see a doctor.
﻿I never thought of being a shaman before. Actually, I didn't want to be one.
﻿There was a period when I was always sick.
﻿No matter what, I couldn't get better. It was so painful
﻿to the point that I wanted to run away to get away from it all.
﻿Why does it have to be me?
﻿But I didn't succeed.
﻿So I agreed to let Her take me. Actually, it is great.
﻿Now I get to pray every day and do ceremonies.
﻿And people come to see me, asking for help when they have troubles.
﻿Now I consider it to be very good.
﻿I'm at ease.
﻿I can't even remember why I first didn't accept Her,
﻿why I was mad at Her.
﻿SEAMSTRESS
﻿THE MEDIUM
﻿We're going to Wiroj's funeral. Who is he?
﻿Wiroj is...
﻿the husband of my elder sister, Noi.
﻿He found out last year that he had cancer.
﻿I'm sorry for your loss.
﻿I don't know why all the men in the Yasantia family
﻿Wiroj Yasantia die under bad circumstances.
﻿Wiroj's grandfather was stoned to death by laborers.
﻿Wiroj's dad, when his factory went belly-up,
﻿he burned the factory for insurance money.
﻿When he was caught, he poisoned himself to death.
﻿As for Mac, Wiroj's eldest son,
﻿he died in a motorcycle accident several years ago.
﻿Huh?
﻿How have you been?
﻿Haven't seen you for so long. You've forgotten your family?
﻿If no one died, we'd never see each other.
﻿- Is this tray ready? - Yeah, you can take it inside.
﻿- You always forget your relatives. - Can you stop nagging?
﻿He's the pastor from the church Noi goes to.
﻿Thank you for coming.
﻿Mink, please get a chair for the pastor.
﻿Mink.
﻿How are you?
﻿Your mom told me you were the first one to find his body.
﻿I'm okay.
﻿My family has 3 siblings.
﻿There's Manit, the eldest.
﻿If you smoke a lot, you can't tell one thing from another.
﻿Water? Some water?
﻿Noi is the middle child, and I'm the youngest.
﻿See..
﻿Wiroj, Noi's husband, just died.
﻿Before this, Mac, Noi's son, passed away.
﻿Now, Noi is left with Mink, her only daughter.
﻿Actually, Noi and Wiroj married a bit late.
﻿Once they married...
﻿Noi took over the dog meat shop from her mother-in-law,
﻿Wiroj's mother.
﻿I don't know why she did that.
﻿The government doesn't allow it, but Noi still secretly does it.
﻿My sisters, they don't get along very well.
﻿They have had some kind of disagreement ever since who knows when.
﻿I've tried to talk to them to get them to reconcile, to make up.
﻿- Make sure they're yours. - I won't take someone else's.
﻿Thank you for coming.
﻿Auntie.
﻿Mom wants you to get stuff from my house.
﻿She wrote it all down and where everything is.
﻿Hello, Auntie Nim.
﻿Here.
﻿You already closed the door, right? - Yes.
﻿- Lucky won't go outside, right? - It won't.
﻿You brought the wrong cloth. I wanted the thicker one.
﻿Why don't you go get it yourself then?
﻿Uncle, what the hell are you saying?
﻿No one said anything, Mink.
﻿What the fuck did you say? Say it!
﻿I didn't say anything.
﻿Just mind your own business. Are you talking shit about me?!
﻿Who? No one's said anything.
﻿- He cursed at me. - Ihaven't done anything...
﻿You called me a whore!
﻿Mink! Stop it!
﻿Mink, don't!
﻿I didn't call you that!
﻿Get him out of here, mom!
﻿Mink, let's go.
﻿- Mink, go. Leave first. - I'm not leaving. He cursed at me!
﻿No one's said anything at all.
- ﻿Dammit! Get out of here! - Mink, calm down.
﻿- Mom, let go of me! - Calm down, Mink.
﻿He cursed at me.
﻿He didn't.
﻿Does Mink usually drink a lot?
﻿I know she drinks, but I didn't know it was this much.
﻿This is the first time Mink's caused a scene.
﻿I see.
﻿Go ahead.
﻿See you around.
﻿Drive safely.
﻿Okay.
﻿Mink.
﻿Who died?
﻿The blind old woman whose house is behind the temple.
﻿How did she die?
﻿I don't know.
﻿Mink.
﻿Mink!
﻿Wiro' Yas anti a
﻿Nim, what are you doing here?
﻿What are you doing in Mink's room?
﻿Why are you going through her things?
﻿I asked you a question. Why don't you answer?
﻿Why aren't you saying anything? Gosh!
﻿What are you looking for? Tell me...
﻿Here.
﻿See?
﻿Do you know what this is?
﻿What?
﻿What are you doing? Both of you get out.
﻿- Mink, hold on. - Mom, leave.
﻿Mink, you've started to have nightmares and hear strange things, right?
﻿No! Nothing! Mom, get out.
﻿Mink...
﻿Get out
﻿Get out!
﻿Must you film everything, seriously?
﻿You know what the turmeric is for, right?
﻿You must tell me if Mink shows any strange symptoms.
﻿Noi!
﻿She's my child. I can take care of her. You should leave.
﻿What is it that Mink hangs in her closet?
﻿It's a turmeric called Pa Ta Ba.
﻿We believe it can protect us from spirits
﻿and other evil things.
﻿Why the hell did they come into other people's room?
﻿They went through my stuff, too. Dammit!
﻿It's so freaking lame.
﻿Right?
﻿Why did you put the Pa Ta Ba in your room?
﻿What they did, it's so childish. They're supposed to be the adults here.
﻿At the funeral the other day, why were you staring at that blind lady?
﻿What blind lady?
﻿Do you see someone standing over there?
﻿Yes.
﻿I see someone there.
﻿Why?
﻿The team went over the footage
﻿and found Mink showing some strange behavior.
﻿What do Mink's recent symptoms mean?
﻿From what I've gathered, they can be several things.
﻿Does that mean Ba Yan will move to Mink?
﻿I don't know.
﻿The team had an idea. If a shaman inheritance is real,
﻿they might be able to record the manifestation.
﻿They decided to film Mink and her family, too.
﻿Hey.
﻿Are you going to film me all the time?
﻿Most of the time.
﻿Just make yourself com fortable.
﻿Tell me about your job.
﻿Sure.
﻿I work at the Recruitment Center.
﻿RECRUITMENT CENTER
﻿All day I assign work for people to do.
﻿Number 6.
﻿Hello.
﻿I wake up at 5 a.m. I wake up early.
﻿Eat and get into work around 7, 8 a.m.
﻿In the afternoon there aren't many people. So I have some free time.
﻿I'm not that tired with my work.
﻿And do you like your job?
﻿Yeah.
﻿I think I'm happy helping others find jobs.
﻿You're telling the truth, right?
﻿Of course! I sound like a beauty queen, huh?
﻿How do you feel towards people who are shamans, like your aunt?
﻿Shamans?
﻿To be honest,
﻿I think it's nonsense. I don't think it's real.
﻿Out of the blue, they do weird dance moves. Acting like Hanuman. It's so weird.
﻿I've also heard people say that there's a Doraemon shaman.
﻿Hilarious!
﻿What's a Doraemon shaman?
﻿Well, it's a Doraemon shaman.
﻿I guess when they're taken over, they sing the theme song.
﻿speak in tongues
﻿I'll show you.
﻿See?
﻿Anyone can do it. Have you seen those clips? This is how they speak. ►
﻿What would you like? - 100 baht of meat.
﻿Thank you.
﻿I don't know why they won't let us sell it.
﻿People around here have eaten dog meat for ages.
﻿Oh, but you sell dog meat and also have a pet dog.
﻿Doesn't it feel strange?
﻿I don't find it strange at all.
﻿Those who raise goldfish and carp, don't they also eat fish?
﻿May I ask about Ba Yan?
﻿When Ba Yan tried to enter into you, can you remember how you felt at the time?
﻿Back then, I remember I was in my twenties.
﻿I started to have weird symptoms.
﻿Locals call it 'Shaman Fever.'
﻿At the time, I had severe headaches,
﻿and my period came every day straight for 5 full months.
﻿My aunt was already a shaman.
﻿She advised me to do an Acceptance Ceremony to be a shaman.
﻿But I didn't want to. I didn't like the idea of being a shaman.
﻿So...
﻿I converted to Christianity.
﻿I prayed to God
﻿that I would not become a
that I would not become a shaman.
﻿For if you forgive others their trespasses,
﻿your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
﻿But if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
﻿But something happened with Nim, my younger sister.
﻿Nim went to study dressmaking in the city.
﻿They said that she fainted and blacked out
﻿without knowing the cause.
﻿We had to go get her and bring her back home.
﻿After that, Ba Yan entered into Nim instead.
﻿No one knows what happened.
﻿Thinking about it now, I do feel guilty...
﻿Nim took my place as the shaman.
﻿And what if now...
﻿Ba Yan wants to move to Mink. What will you do?
﻿If you're going to ask me stupid questions,
﻿then you can stop asking.
﻿And stop filming.
﻿Whoa, Mink. You're beautiful.
﻿Why are you wearing baby shoes?
﻿Girl, on the parade day, you're gonna be the prettiest.
﻿Is it comfortable?
﻿It's fine. But it's a bit loose. They'll take it in for me.
﻿Oh, I see.
﻿Lisa, have you noticed Mink acting strange lately?
﻿Recently, I guess you could call it strange.
﻿It's like she's faking or something, like she's not her real self.
﻿Here, just a sec.
﻿Mink, where are you going?
﻿Girl, it's for kids. You can't play.
﻿I want to.
﻿Are you out'of your fhind? Get out.
﻿Mink.
﻿Cray-cray.
Mink!
﻿What the hell is wrong with you?
﻿Mink!
﻿What are you doing?
﻿Hey.
﻿Can you not film me all the time?
﻿I'm a mess right now.
﻿Stop filming.
﻿RECRUITMENT CENTER
﻿Mink, you bitch.
﻿You ditched me to go with some guy again?
﻿If you get messed up again, don't come to me for help.
﻿Mink?
﻿RECRUITMENT CENTER
﻿I'm here.
﻿Oh, Mink.
﻿Mink.
﻿Why are you sleeping here?
﻿Wake up. Go wash your face and start work.
﻿Mink.
﻿What's wrong?
﻿Mink?
﻿Where did you sleep last night? I called, but you didn't pick up.
﻿It's time you stop drinking.
﻿Mink.
﻿What's with you?
﻿It's just my period. What's with the nagging?
﻿Wait, talk to me first. For how long?
﻿Mink!
﻿Talk to me. Has it been long since you've had it?
﻿- Pang, where's Manit? - He went out to meet friends.
﻿- Do you know who? - No idea.
﻿Manit!
﻿What are you doing here?
﻿Don't you give a shit about your wife and kid?
﻿Get up and come with me. I need to talk to you about something.
﻿Now!
﻿Right now, Mink's symptoms are like yours and Nim's back then, right?
﻿That's right.
﻿You must have Nim do the Acceptance Ceremony for Mink.
﻿You know I don't want my child to be a shaman.
﻿But if Ba Yan really wants Mink, what can you do?
- ﻿I don't know what I have to do. - Think it over.
﻿What the hell is it with you?
﻿Calm down, sweetie.
﻿- Stop being nosy, hag! Hey! Why are you doing that?
- ﻿What are you doing?! - Stop the car!
﻿- Get off! - No!
﻿- Stop! - Isaid I'm not getting off!
﻿- Have you lost it? - Damn all of you!
﻿You!
﻿- Get lost! - Come on, let's go.
﻿Damn you!
﻿Damn all of you.
﻿Shit.
﻿Dammit.
﻿Why the hell did they chase me off? Assholes.
﻿Huh?!
﻿I hope you all die.
﻿I hope all of you die.
﻿Is this all you got?
﻿Yes.
﻿Has Mink ever acted strange, like she's someone else?
﻿Well, she sometimes acts like a kid.
﻿Anything else, aside from acting like a kid?
﻿From our footage, there isn't anything else.
﻿- Have you seen my beaded bracelet? - Oh.
﻿It might have fallen off here, when I came to get things for Noi.
﻿- What bracelet? - My brown bracelet.
﻿- The one you always wear, right? - Yeah.
﻿Where did you go that day?
﻿I came to get the meds here, and I went up to Noi's room to get the scarf.
﻿It might have fallen off there. Noi, go up and take a look for Nim.
﻿It isn't around here.
﻿I really need to use it. Could you please take a look for me?
﻿Look thoroughly.
﻿Mink.
﻿Mink, are you okay?
﻿Recently, have you heard someone calling you?
﻿And did you happen to answer them?
﻿Huh?
﻿- There has been, right? - Nim! What are you talking to her?
﻿They're not talking about anything. Just small talk between aunt and niece.
﻿What did you say to her?
﻿Nothing.
﻿- You told her to come, didn't you? - What are you talking about?
﻿She came looking for her bracelet It fell off the day she came to get your stuff.
﻿Mink.
﻿Fine, I'm leaving now.
﻿Mink, what is it?
﻿What did auntie say?
﻿What did she talk to you about?
﻿What is it?
﻿Mom.
﻿Tell me.
﻿Mom, I don't want to be a shaman.
﻿I won't let you be one. I won't let it happen.
﻿- Don't be afraid. - You have to help me.
﻿- Don't be afraid. - Mom, you have to help me.
﻿Why do you think Nim came to see Mink?
﻿She wants Mink to replace her as a shaman.
﻿She doesn't have any children.
﻿But no matter what, I won't let my child be a shaman.
﻿Ms. Kanda Yasantia. Receive your medicine at counter 2.
﻿I'll get it for you. Wait here.
﻿I've got headaches. It feels like my head's gonna explode.
﻿Stomachaches. Backaches.
﻿And that part also hurts.
﻿When it hurts..
﻿it feels like it's going to rip apart.
﻿The doctor said he doesn't know what's wrong either.
﻿He doesn't know the cause.
﻿Have you dreamed of anything strange lately?
﻿I have the same dream repeatedly almost every night.
﻿In my dreams, I see a huge man.
﻿He's wearing a red loin cloth and a red vest with some kind of talisman all over it.
﻿In my dreams...
﻿he's holding a long sword.
﻿He stomps his foot
﻿and licks the blood from the sword.
﻿And..
﻿there's a decapitated head and blood all over the floor.
﻿It's like the head is trying to tell me something.
﻿And what is the head saying?
﻿I try to listen to what it's saying. But...
﻿there isn't any sound that comes out.
﻿Mink.
﻿Are you okay?
﻿Leave me alone!
﻿Mink, can you get up?
﻿Can you get up?
﻿Come on.
﻿Get out!
﻿I think we should go to the hospital. Let's go.
﻿Leave me alone. Get out!
﻿May I have a word with you?
﻿You can't film anymore.
﻿What the fuck are you saying?!
﻿How can you fire me? Asshole!
﻿Screw you!
﻿Mink.
﻿- Did you take your meds this morning? - Mink!
﻿- Will you be okay? - Mink, come change.
﻿I'll be outside.
﻿Done. Wait for us to do your hair.
﻿Mink?
﻿Hey!
﻿GOD REMAINS WITH US
﻿Mink.
﻿Whoa, she's so gorgeous.
﻿Mink.
﻿Why doesn't she look at us?
﻿Mink!
﻿BORDER CROSSING POINT
﻿Where are you going now?
﻿To work.
﻿What are you doing here?
﻿Get out!
﻿Security!
﻿Get her out of here.
﻿The thing is...
﻿stuff in our office went missing.
﻿So I took a look at the CCTV
﻿Sumeth Recruitment Center Director
﻿and found this.
﻿As you can see..
﻿Look.
﻿Disgusting.
﻿This woman is shameless.
﻿Mink.
﻿Are you taking a shower?
﻿Mink!
﻿Noi?
﻿Manit!
﻿What is it, Noi?
﻿Oh, God!
﻿Shit!
﻿Go get some towels. Noi, call the doctor.
﻿Hurry, call an ambulance. Get me some towels.
﻿Shit!
﻿Noi!
﻿Be careful.
﻿It's the hospital, right? Send an ambulance right away.
﻿What happened?
﻿Why?
﻿Nim.
﻿I now surrender.
﻿I'll let Mink do the Acceptance Ceremony.
﻿Please hold the Acceptance Ceremony for Mink.
﻿I don't want to see my child like this.
﻿Mink can't do the Acceptance Ceremony.
﻿Why not?
﻿Because what's taken hold of Mink isn't Ba Yan.
﻿How come it's not?
﻿Mink's symptoms are like what you and I had.
﻿If Mink agrees to become a shaman, her symptoms will disappear too, right?
﻿I can't let Mink do the ceremony.
﻿You have to do it for Mink.
﻿Manit, come with me.
﻿Nim.
﻿I'm gonna go with Nim then.
﻿Nim, you have to do it for her.
﻿She's your niece. Don't you pity her?
﻿Open the door.
﻿Open what door?
﻿- This door. - What are you going to do?
﻿Hurry, will you?
﻿Are you sure?
﻿Tell me first, what are you gonna do?
﻿Tell me the truth. How did Mac really die?
﻿Everyone knows that his motorcycle flipped over.
﻿Tell me the truth.
﻿I know...
﻿Mink and Mac had something going on.
﻿Do you know
﻿what the soul of someone who commits suicide becomes?
﻿Do you?
﻿Tell me where Mac killed himself?
﻿The team agrees with Nim's judgment.
﻿They believe Mink is possessed by 'something else'
﻿Sit down slowly.
﻿Now that Nim won't do the Acceptance Ceremony for Mink, do you know what you're going to do next?
﻿If she won't help me,
﻿I'll find my own way.
﻿Even if..
﻿it may go against my religion.
﻿I must do it.
﻿(Chanting)
﻿Mac!
﻿Tell me.
﻿All of this is your doing, right?
﻿I know that you love her, but you can't take her.
﻿Do you hear me?
﻿Are you really going to do this, Noi?
﻿Yeah, just drive.
﻿Get the stuff and come upstairs.
﻿All right.
﻿Stop right now!
﻿Stop! I said stop!
﻿Stop!
﻿Nim.
﻿- Stop it! - Why are you doing this?!
﻿How could you do a random ceremony like this?!
﻿What if she receives some evil spirit?
﻿What do you expect me to do? She is about to die.
﻿- You won't help me. - You don't understand.
﻿Why wouldn't I help you?
﻿-I have my own way. - When are you gonna help me?
﻿- Why did you do the ceremony with this man? - You want me to watch my child die?
﻿Do you know who he is?
﻿Mink.
﻿When are you going to help? Are you going to let her die?
﻿Mink.
﻿Mink! Stop it, Mink!
﻿Mink!
﻿Mink, stop!
﻿Stop!
﻿Mink!
﻿Mink.
﻿Mink!
﻿Mink.
﻿Nim.
﻿What about Mink?
﻿Mink.
﻿- Where's Mink, Nim? - Lie down. Lie down, first.
﻿What about Mink?
﻿Did you find Mink? Did you find her?
﻿Oh, Mink.
﻿Why is she like this, Nim?
﻿You have to help Mink.
﻿You have to help her, Nim.
﻿The only way to find her is to hold a ceremony.
﻿But first things first, Noi must open her heart
﻿to accept Ba Yan,
﻿and beg for Her forgiveness,
﻿even if she once shunned Ba Yan away,
﻿which is a serious matter.
﻿But I believe She will have mercy on Noi.
﻿Lift it above your head.
﻿If Noi really opens her heart to Her,
﻿Ba Yan will definitely forgive her.
﻿Give the offerings to Her.
﻿What's that smell?
﻿Go through it all.
﻿We have to gather all the foul things Mink's collected from various places
﻿and do a ceremony.
﻿What is this? Take a look.
﻿Because in these things, there are traces of the spirits Mink came in contact with.
﻿Nim. Look here.
﻿She even kept this under the bed.
﻿She has baby shoes, too.
﻿Nim.
﻿Huh?
﻿Take everything out of here.
﻿Take it all away.
﻿And we must do the ceremony where Mac killed himself.
﻿I'll have to pray to Mac not to harm Mink.
﻿I have to let Mac know,
﻿even if he loved Mink, or was mad and seeking revenge on this family,
﻿I won't let him do anything to her.
﻿Actually, I don't even know how much longer I have to pray.
﻿No matter how long it takes, I'll just keep doing it.
﻿Until I know where Mac took Mink.
﻿A taxi saw the announcement.
﻿So he gave the clip from his dashcam to the police.
﻿The driver said that he picked Mink up around 3 a.m.
﻿When she got in,
﻿he asked her questions, but she didn't answer.
﻿After that, you can see what happened in the clip.
﻿Hey.
﻿Where are you going?
﻿Hey!
﻿What the hell?
﻿Fine, I'm gonna leave now.
﻿Shit!
﻿Dammit.
﻿Maybe this clip is edited?
﻿I had someone take a look at the scene.
﻿There hasn't been any other leads on Mink.
﻿If there is any more news, I'll let you know.
﻿I'm worried for my daughter.
﻿I don't know where she is now, alive or dead.
﻿All I can do is pray...
﻿to the Lord
﻿and any other gods out there.
﻿Please bring my daughter back to me.
﻿I already went everywhere.
﻿Everyone's house, all her friends' houses, all her ex's.
﻿I went everywhere, but no one's seen her.
﻿I've prayed and done everything I could.
﻿If it had worked, she'd be back by now.
﻿HEAVENLY MEAT
﻿SEAMSTRESS TEMPORARILY CLOSED
﻿Ever since Mink disappeared, everyone in the family is miserable,
﻿especially Noi.
﻿She can't eat or sleep at all.
﻿A month has already passed. We haven't received any news.
﻿Are you wasting taxpayers' money?!
﻿- It's not like that. - Police are all the same!
﻿- It's not like that. - No matter which station.
﻿It's been a month already. All I see is you sitting around.
﻿You guys just sit around.
﻿-I don't see you doing anything. - They're working, sir.
﻿I just see you with your eyes open, that's all. Is this what you call working?
﻿There hasn't been any more news.
﻿Nothing.
﻿No news, no leads from anywhere at all.
﻿I've been completely tricked so far.
﻿It's done by the ones that have nothing to do with Mac.
﻿Then, who are they?
﻿YASANTIA THREAD FACTORY
﻿Mink.
﻿Mink, wake up.
﻿Right now, the patient is safe,
﻿but she might be malnourished.
﻿She has bruises and scratches, but they're not so bad.
﻿Will my daughter go back to normal again?
﻿When the patient regains consciousness, we'll reevaluate her symptoms.
﻿Right now, things are becoming clearer.
﻿It's a good thing that it didn't kill Mink.
﻿I'm going to go up the mountain again.
﻿I have to pray and beg Ba Yan once more.
﻿Who did this to you, Ba Yan?
﻿Where did you go? What did you do? Tell me.
﻿Try to take at least one bite.
﻿It didn't even go in her mouth.
﻿Mink is now completely possessed.
﻿Who are you?
﻿I asked, who are you?
﻿I'm Ba Yan.
﻿I asked, who are you?!
﻿Why don't you guess who I am?
﻿Try guessing.
﻿Hey! What's with you?!
﻿Mink!
﻿Have you lost it?!
﻿You're crazy!
﻿Why is she like this?
﻿Mink!
﻿Don't you like young girls' pussies? Don't you like it?!
﻿Why are you doing this?!
﻿Mink!
﻿Mink, why are you doing this?
﻿- Get her off. - Let go of me!
﻿- Get her off. - Let me go!
﻿Mink.
﻿- Hold her down. - Let go!
﻿Mink.
﻿- Why are you like this? - Let go!
﻿Hold her down. Quick.
﻿Put her index finger in the glass!
﻿Mink.
﻿You know...
﻿the reason you're like this
﻿is because of your beloved sister.
﻿She planned to get you to wear her clothes every day.
﻿She put talismans in your shoes.
﻿She did everything
﻿to get you to be the shaman instead of her.
﻿Did you know?
﻿Go find something to tie her up with. Hurry!
﻿Tie her up tightly.
﻿Hurry up.
﻿Hurry! When you're done, get out.
﻿Get out first.
﻿Stop filming already.
﻿Get out! Out!
﻿Everyone, get out.
﻿I need to find someone to help me.
﻿Nim.
﻿About what Mink just said...
﻿I'm sorry.
﻿It's fine. I'm going to help her anyway.
﻿
﻿Santi.
﻿Are you still involved with these clowns?
﻿I still have to make a living, you know.
﻿Mink.
﻿Hey, wait.
﻿You guys..
﻿took her to do some random Acceptance Ceremony, right?
﻿Mink's condition right now...
﻿is like a car that has the key left in it.
﻿Anyone can drive it anywhere.
﻿And who is this spirit?
﻿It's not just one.
﻿I don't know who they are.
﻿If you want me to count how many, it's also impossible.
﻿All I know is that...
﻿they're all in it together because they're vindictive.
﻿And it's this vengeance...
﻿that attracted all the wandering ghosts as well as the lost spirits of beasts...
﻿such as snakes, dogs, centipedes, spiders...
﻿and those of plants and grass.
﻿All of them have gathered together and become a very powerful, evil demon.
﻿Right here.
﻿This is where I found Mink.
﻿We'll conduct the ceremony right here,
﻿where all the evil spirits originated from.
﻿If we can get rid of them all, their slivers in Mink will also disappear.
﻿And why does it have to be Mink?
﻿Do you know about the ancestors of your husband's family?
﻿Wiroj's ancestors beheaded thousands of people.
﻿The last wishes of those dying people were to curse the family,
﻿and their children and offspring never stopped making bad karma.
﻿And Wiroj...
﻿married you.
﻿The one who rejected Ba Yan.
﻿From then on...
﻿everything was destined to be that
﻿the one who has to pay redemption is Mink.
﻿Do you think it's reasonable?
﻿About what Santi said, that everything was destined.
﻿You don't have to worry. We'll get the auspicious date soon.
﻿Destined by who?
﻿God?
﻿Buddha?
﻿Other deities?
﻿If it's the ancestors that created bad karma,
﻿why does Mink have to pay for it? Why not me?
﻿Go sit over there first.
﻿You don't have to think too much.
﻿Once the ceremony is done, Mink will get better.
﻿Ba Yan will help us.
﻿Back then, when I was sick,
﻿everyone said Ba Yan was going to possess me.
﻿But I didn't feel anything.
﻿was just sick.
﻿Let me ask you something.
﻿Have you ever seen Ba Yan?
﻿Is there really a Ba Yan?
﻿Of course, there is.
﻿Have you ever seen Her?
﻿No.
﻿Then how do you know?
﻿I can feel it.
﻿I can feel Her.
﻿You have to believe in Ba Yan,
﻿and She will help us.
﻿(Chanting)
﻿To perform this ceremony,
﻿the more evil and dangerous the spirits are, the more I have to be prepared.
﻿I have to make lots of talismans and consecrate them all,
﻿including a sacred wand.
﻿I consecrate them over and over with all the power I have.
﻿And I also have to prepare holy water, candles, and incense.
﻿It's really an extravagant affair.
﻿Most importantly, I have to do the ceremony with Nim.
﻿Nim and I have to be united as one. It's really tough, but it's challenging.
﻿Although, I've been doing this for a long time. Let's see how tough they are.
﻿She won't eat anything.
﻿When I talk with her, she's not receptive.
﻿I'm really stressed out.
﻿Nim hasn't come either. She's been busy with the ceremony preparations.
﻿One other thing...
﻿every morning when I come down, the house is a total mess.
﻿It must be Mink. She does it every night.
﻿I don't know what she does.
﻿The team decided to install cameras inside the house
﻿to observe Mink's behavior at night.
﻿6 days before the ceremony
﻿Lucky.
﻿What's wrong, Lucky?
﻿5 days before the ceremony
﻿4 days before the ceremony
﻿3 days before the ceremony
﻿If you set up cameras everywhere like this, then no more filming.
﻿- Manit... - Pack your stuff and go! I won't allow it!
﻿I'm asking you, please watch till the very end.
﻿- Please. - What?
﻿Why is she like this?
﻿If she's become crazy like this, how can we keep living together?
﻿You can go live wherever you want.
﻿I'm staying here with my child.
﻿I admit that...
﻿it looks scary.
﻿But she's still my child.
﻿It won't be long till she gets better.
﻿Nim will help her.
﻿Nim is an expert. She's helped lots of people.
﻿She can definitely help Mink.
﻿Don't you think?
﻿After seeing Mink's behavior,
﻿the family members allowed the team to install more cameras.
﻿My stomach hurts.
﻿2 days before the ceremony
﻿Done.
﻿She can't get out anymore.
﻿She can only dream of getting out.
﻿That's it. Let's go. All done.
﻿Mink!
﻿Guys, wake up!
﻿You need to get up!
﻿Holy shit.
﻿Pong!
﻿Mink!
﻿Pong!
﻿- Pong! - What is it, Manit?
﻿Where is Pong?!
﻿- What is it? - Mink took Pong!
﻿- Huh?! - Mink took my son!
﻿Where did she take him?
﻿Let's go look.
﻿- She took my son. - Where did she take Pong?!
﻿Mink.
﻿Let's go find him.
﻿Pong!
﻿Where did she take him?
﻿Come on. Let's go search.
﻿Mink!
﻿Why did you take my kid?
﻿Have you lost it?!
﻿Mink.
﻿Mink!
﻿Have you seen Mink?
﻿No.
﻿Mink!
﻿Dammit! Why are you doing this?
﻿Mink! Where are you?
﻿Mink!
﻿Pong.
﻿Pong!
﻿﻿Pong!
﻿My boy.
﻿Pong!
﻿It's all right now, baby.
﻿Mink?
﻿Mink!
﻿Mink.
﻿Mink!
﻿What the hell?!
﻿Argh!
﻿Mink!
﻿Mink.
﻿Let go of him.
﻿Mink.
﻿1 day before the ceremony
﻿Nim.
﻿Is something wrong?
﻿I've been calling her since last night, but she hasn't answered.
﻿I can hear her phone ringing inside. Why won't she answer it?
﻿I'll go get help.
﻿Okay.
﻿Nim.
﻿Nim!
﻿Where are you?!
﻿Nim.
﻿Ewww!
﻿Why are there so many maggots?
﻿Nim.
﻿Nim!
﻿Wake up.
﻿Why are you sleeping like this?
﻿Nim!
﻿Hurry, come help me!
﻿I don't know what's with her! Quick! Nim!
﻿Nim died while asleep.
﻿Isan people call it, 'Lai Tai'.
﻿Doctors could not conclude the cause of death.
﻿Nim died because of me.
﻿Mink is like this because of me.
﻿I have no one left in my life.
﻿From now on,
﻿I'm going to do everything to protect my daughter from harm.
﻿I'm even willing to die.
﻿Why did Nim die? The spirits did it, right?
﻿There's no way we can know.
﻿What's that supposed to mean?
﻿Why are you saying such things?
﻿Master, what are we supposed to do now?
﻿Don't worry.
﻿Tomorrow, we will conduct the ceremony as planned.
﻿Day of ceremony
﻿- Put it here? - Yeah, put it over there.
﻿Master Santi, please tell us about today's ceremony.
﻿The ceremony will take place on the 5th floor.
﻿The first thing I have to do is
﻿summon the evil spirits to gather
﻿into Mink's body.
﻿Then
﻿I'll expel the spirits
﻿into the cursed pot.
﻿And I'll take the pot to the ground floor, bury it, and perform a spellbinding ritual.
﻿Based on what happened to Nim,
﻿will it be too risky to let Mink still be a part of the ceremony?
﻿Well, yeah.
﻿But...
﻿have you noticed the back of Manit's car?
﻿It has a sticker that says..
"This car is red."
﻿THIS CAR IS RED
﻿What does that have to do with the ceremony?
﻿Don't let anyone
﻿leave the area of the ceremony at all,
﻿until the ceremony is over.
﻿(Chanting)
﻿Come and eat!
﻿Come on! Come and get it!
﻿Come!
﻿Why did she scream?
﻿I don't know.
﻿Noi!
﻿- Noi. - How is she?
﻿She's just blacked out. - Take her to rest up.
﻿Noi!
﻿How are you, Noi?
﻿Can you hear me?
﻿Is there anyone out there?
Why am I being locked up?
﻿Mom? Are you outside?
﻿Please open the door.
﻿Did the spirit leave already?
﻿I don't know.
﻿Pong?
﻿Mink.
﻿Pong, open the door for me.
Mink!
﻿You're better now, right?
﻿Open the door.
﻿She's well now, right?
﻿Pang, I'm in here.
﻿Open the door, please.
﻿I don't know.
﻿The Master told us not to open the door if the ceremony isn't over.
﻿- Please open the door. - Mink.
﻿Open the door for me, please. I'm locked up in here.
﻿Hold on.
﻿- Pang, please open the door. - Mink.
﻿No one has called to let us know yet.
﻿Pang. Where are all of you? Pang?
﻿Mink.
﻿Pang, open the door.
﻿Mink, are you okay?
﻿Mink.
﻿Pong.
﻿Open the door. My son is in there.
﻿- We can't. - Open it!
﻿Open it! My son is in there!
﻿We can't. No matter what, we can't open it.
﻿He's in there! Can't you hear him? Huh?!
﻿How can that be?
﻿I just saw your son in the crib.
﻿He's in there! Are you deaf?!
﻿My son's in there. Pong!
﻿Master Santi ordered us not to open it.
﻿- Take a look in the crib for me. - Mink! Please don't do anything to Pong!
﻿Open the door.
﻿-I can't. - Open it right now!
﻿Go look in the crib for me.
﻿Open it!
﻿Open it, dammit!
﻿- Go look in the crib! - Okay!
﻿Huh?
﻿Open it!
﻿Pang!
﻿You can't go in!
﻿Pang!
﻿Pong!
﻿Pang!
﻿Master, why do you stop here?
﻿Master?
﻿What the hell?
﻿Master?
﻿Master?!
﻿Huh?
﻿Master?
﻿Master!
﻿Master, what's wrong?
﻿No! Master!
﻿Pong!
﻿Mink.
﻿Where is Pong?
﻿Mink.
﻿Shit!
﻿Open up.
﻿Open the door!
﻿Help!
﻿Help me!
﻿Help!
﻿I can't open it.
﻿Don't.
﻿No!
﻿Shit!
﻿Why did the lights go out?
﻿Turn on the camera's light.
﻿Okay.
﻿Shit.
﻿Where did everyone go?
﻿Hey.
﻿What happened?
﻿Where is everybody?
﻿Hey.
﻿Let's get the hell out of here.
﻿Fuck this!
﻿Shit, so damn dark...
﻿Holy shit.
﻿Oh, hell.
﻿Manit!
﻿Noi.
﻿Manit.
﻿Are you all right?
﻿Are you okay?
﻿I can feel it now.
﻿Ba Yan is with me now.
﻿Ba Yan is here to help me.
﻿The ceremony must be continued.
﻿Go get the potsherd.
﻿We'll perform the spellbinding ritual once again.
﻿Go! Hurry!
﻿Give me the incense.
﻿Can I film you instead?
﻿Why did she put them in that way?
﻿No, no, no!
﻿Manit, don't!
﻿No!
﻿You, evil spirit,
﻿leave my child's body now.
﻿You're going to surrender now
﻿to the mighty power of Ba Yan!
﻿(Chanting)
Mom.
﻿(Chanting)
﻿Mom.
﻿(Chanting)
﻿Mom.
﻿(Chanting)
﻿Mink.
﻿Mink, it's you, right?
﻿Mink.
﻿It's you, right?
﻿Mink.
﻿Please return my child.
﻿Give me back my child.
﻿Return her...
﻿Mink.
﻿Can you hear me?
﻿Mink, are you still in there?
﻿Mink.
﻿Don't...
﻿Don't do it.
﻿Don't do this to me.
﻿Mink.
﻿Can you hear me?
﻿Mink! I'm sorry.
﻿I'm sorry.
﻿Come back to me, Mink.
﻿Mink.
﻿God, please help Mink.
﻿Mink, don't give up hope.
﻿Don't do this.
﻿Don't do this to me.

﻿Nim's last interview
﻿What just happened in front of the altar?
﻿I was just thinking of...
﻿the day of the ceremony, I don't know what will happen.
﻿Why?
﻿Any problems with the preparations?
﻿It might mean nothing at all.
﻿What do you mean?
﻿Honestly...
﻿I've never really known..
﻿I was never really sure...
﻿if Ba Yan actually possessed me or not.
﻿What do you mean?
﻿I don't know anymore.
