LIZARD WOMAN
Don't go over there.
Climb up carefully, please.
It's fallen down there!
I went all the way down to find that.
- What was it? - I don't know. I haven't opened it yet.
Hey, pass me a torch.
Sir, shall we go down there?
Let's go, we are rather late.
Why? Why? Why?
It might be because of the fuel tank.
Maybe. We should check it.
There is nothing wrong. The fuel tank is OK.
There is nothing wrong.
But I think I see something...
in that corner.
I can't see anything. I don't think the cause is here.
Sir, sir, what can you see?
Nothing.
Can I look at the map?
We're here, let's go on.
What was that wind?
I can hear something.
Be quiet. I hear something.
I can hear priests chanting.
That's it! This means we're close to the village.
Do you see those lights?
Over there, can you see?
I think it is a village.
If it is a village, it should be brighter.
Let's go take a look.
Be careful, it's slippery.
I never believed in the supernatural before.
But if you hear it just once you will change your mind.
The spirits will show themselves in various ways, like through being a tiger.
I hope it won't rain here.
It's hard to believe, but don't look down your nose at it.
No, I'm not, but I just want to say that it's a matter of the human mind.
I can understand the chanting but the rest is just a trick of the mind.
That's because you're a doctor.
Is someone there?
Anybody?
There is no one here.
Is anyone here?
- It looks like the entrance of a house. - Yes, do you see that?
I'm going to go and have a wash, see what's outside.
- Are you OK? - Be careful.
Don't worry. I'll be fine.
Shall we stay here overnight?
We shouldn't just invade someone's home. We should wait for the owner outside.
But we are already inside.
Why worry about the owner? We haven't come to steal anything.
It's just the wind.
- Do you have any lip balm? - Yes.
Help me!
Mio is inside.
OK, OK. Move away, I'll handle it.
Are you there?
Who's that?
Bloody hell! Sir! Sir!
What happened?
What happened? What happened, Mio?
I told you it was a haunted house.
Kai was right. We should never have come in here.
Bam.
Can't you see? It's a haunted house!
- No, Bam... - No way, we're not going to stay here.
What's happened? I'm going to find out.
Pee Nipon! Pee Nipon!
Pee Nipon! Wait, Pee Nipon!
You're suffocating me!
Get off me! Get off me!
Pee Nipon...
Sir, please help Pee Nipon quickly!
Sir! Sir!
Drive carefully, Doc. It rains frequently these days.
- Yes, don't worry. I'll say goodbye now. - Goodbye.
Sir!
What's the matter?
Those people are still not here.
- Really? - Yes.
They are usually punctual.
It doesn't look too good.
The geologists went to look at the caves.
What are we going to do now?
Bam, wait for me!
Bam, wait!
What's that?
Sir.
Maida, sir! Sir!
Maida, sir!
Sir! Maida, sir!
Stop! Please stop!
Where have these lizards come from, Kwan?
I don't know.
- Why? - They are ghosts.
Ghost lizards.
OK. Ghost lizards. Here - you want to go to Chiangmai, don't you?
Yes, I'll go to Chiangmai right now.
- Good luck! - Thanks.
Thank you, Nida.
Passengers to Chiangmai, your flight is now ready for boarding...
Can you tell what they died of?
It must be murder, but there is no sign of wounding.
They must have been fighting with each other.
Only God knows that.
The corpse must be sent for a postmortem.
- Yes. - Let's go.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Welcome.
- It gets hot here during the day. - That's OK. Bangkok is worse.
- It rains at night here. - Every day?
Not every day, but more frequently this week.
Oh! Just like in Bangkok. It rains every day.
It's very beautiful.
This is for you. It's the only one in the world.
- What is it? - It's an antique.
This is genuine.
It had to be kept in a cold place so the spell would still be there. Only 500 bahts.
Sorry, madam.
- I'm not married. - Sorry once again.
- Why are you here? - I can't get to sleep.
It could be the heat, or the sound... of a lizard.
I couldn't sleep either. Are you afraid of lizards?
Not really, but their noise disturbs me.
I've never seen a lizard.
Sleep well, Kwan.
Thank you, Uncle Marg.
When lizards make a noise, it means it will rain tonight.
Sorry we don't have any electricity. The generator stops working at 9:00pm.
I knew that before.
I read an interview you gave and I know you're an orphan due to an accident.
It was unfortunate for your parents. It must have tested your faith.
Does "faith" have any special meaning for you?
You've said you separate faith entirely from premonition.
All your work is about premonition. How do you explain this?
That's an interesting question, I agree that I used the word "faith".
When someone falls in love, we call that "faith".
When someone has difficulties, we call it bad luck.
I don't know how others define their meanings
but for me they have no more special meaning than words I use every day.
It is unfair to say that most people believe in premonition because of those words.
Yes, at the moment my book...
Yes, I'm well known because of my books and my books are about ghosts
and the unknown, but that does not mean I am illogical.
I only write what people want to read. That is all.
Be careful.
- Kwan. - What is it?
I found this on the table. Is it yours?
Yes, I want to keep it here, or you can have it.
It might not be right.
It's a rule here. Sorry I didn't tell you before.
The guests who stay here should not leave things behind.
- Thank you very much. - You're welcome.
- Pa Sai! - Yes?
What is it?
- Come up here. - Yes, yes.
- What is it? - What is this?
What are you looking for?
- I'm looking for lizards. - Lizards?
- This house had no lizards. - There must be.
What you're looking at is a lizard's pooh!
I will get someone to deal with it if you like.
I will get someone to clean it up.
- Sorry I am late. - That's OK.
Very busy today - a meeting about the patients.
I understand, it's a doctor's work.
- What's this? - It's for you.
- Is it a present? - A small one, but I intend to give it to you.
Can I have a look?
Sure! I've given it to you.
What's the matter?
Generally, you are healthy but I want you to stay here for a few days.
I want to make sure that you are OK.
- I am fine. - Yes.
I know, but I suspect...
you have seen an illusion.
Kwan! Wait, Kwan.
- Kwan, calm down. - I want to go home!
Listen to me, Kwan.
Kwan, delusions are caused by various things, like not having enough rest
or taking some kind of pills or not having enough blood flow to the brain.
You know it is not that I don't have enough rest, or a pill,
or because of a lack of blood flow to the brain.
You think I am crazy.
This information tells you everything.
Or nothing.
Everything is normal.
- Pa Sai! - Yes?
What's the matter?
You've dealt with the lizards, haven't you?
When you were in the hospital, I got someone to deal with them.
Inside, outside and around the house, we've got several.
- Did you see what's written behind you? - What writing?
Behind you.
Did you let someone into my room?
- To write something that's nonsense. - It's not nonsense, it's stopping the lizards.
Clean it up quickly and take off that crazy writing.
It must be the fierce lizard ghost.
It was only printed yesterday.
The cover's different from what you saw. What do you think?
- Do you like it? - Yes, very good design.
I like it.
Very bad. Why, I'm unlucky today.
It's a staple.
Can you wait here a minute?
I don't care where it came from. It's your carelessness. Understand?
Who asked you to do that?
- What's happened? - None of your business.
What is it?
I would like to know about my writing, how is it?
What's it about?
It's about the unknown, spirits and living deaths. I submitted it three months ago.
Yes, that's right. I'm sorry. I'll read it. I'm very busy these days.
I'll read it.
That's fine. I just want to know if it's OK and if it'll be published later.
- I hope so. - Thank you.
- Oh, Goh... - Yes?
- I think you're a good photographer. - Thank you.
Hey.
How did you get in my picture?
- Hello? - Yes...
What are you saying?
What?
Pee Nida died?
She vomited a lot of blood.
Yes. The dead body was also bleeding.
I mean bleeding inside.
The postmortem report shows that the blood had an infection.
The stomach was damaged and the liver was damaged too.
It's very strange, Doctor.
I can't really understand it.
If you knew Pee Nida, you wouldn't think she'd die. Pee Nida was very healthy.
Dying is the body ceasing to function,
sometimes unexpectedly,
It sometimes comes without any warning.
Ta Yoon, why are you so late?
- You've been drinking. - Just a little.
How's Kwan?
Don't make a noise, she's sleeping. She might hear you.
The magic you wrote is no good.
A few days ago Kwan's friend died.
If so, the truth must be told.
Help me! Help me! Help me! Help!
Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me!
Help me! Help! Help me! Help me!
Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me! Help me...
It's very frightening, help me!
What's so frightening?
It must be a ghost.
It's very frightening to look at...
Does it look like this?
Please move back.
Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me.
Excuse me. I'm a news reporter.
Sergeant Muik, take the photo.
Do you know the dead person?
She arrived with a high temperature. She's been given medicine twice.
Her temperature should be down.
She'll be moved to the hospital where I work, do you know it?
Doctor.
They have come to visit the patient. Will you let them?
I know the patient.
You're not allowed to visit.
Wait, Doc! I know how you relate to her!
Pa Sai's my relative and I was her housekeeper,
- but she's dead. - I'm sorry.
Wait! The lizard killed Pa Sai and hurt her.
Wait, Doc! Listen to me, Doc.
Doc...
Tequila.
Mexican spirit. Made from agave plants.
How's it?
It's weaker than a house spirit but it tastes good.
How are you going to handle this?
I can't do this alone. It's more powerful than me.
- Any more? - Enough. Thanks.
I know someone who can handle it.
Who? Where?
It's depression, you know?
Stop talking about crazy things.
What I want to know is, what's wrong with Kwan.
Whatever is in her head, you'd know better than I do.
As you saw, your girlfriend is normal. What else do you want to know?
If you don't trust the medical results, then why don't you cut off her head to check?
You've had surgical experience. Have you forgotten it?
Why do you trust the computer? It's more useless than the tapeworms in your gut.
It's as clever as you are.
This is unbelievable.
If this is all true...
it's amazing.
How did that get in here?
It's good you're here. Arrange a time for me to see the patient.
- Who's the patient? - Kwanpelin.
- I don't think you can do that. - You're a nurse. I instruct you.
Hold on, Doctor, there's no one in that room.
No one?
- Kwanpelin's not there. - What?
Doctor Witoon.
- Take me with you, Doc. - It's nothing to do with you.
But I know where Kwan is.
I'm telling you, the villagers believe it's true.
Na Karoon told me about dark magic kept in a wooden box, separately.
- Separately? - Yes, separately, Doc.
There are two lizards' spirits. One's male and one's female.
I've never heard anything like this nonsense.
It's a ghost, Doc, believe me. Na Karoon really wants to help Kwan.
Helping by kidnapping her. Is that it?
You have to understand that Kwan is in danger.
The lizard's spirit invading her is not ordinary, I can tell. I can tell.
True. It's not ordinary, it's mad.
She'll be killed like the others, Na Karoon said.
I bet you I'll get him put in jail.
How did you come to get involved in this crazy stuff?
I'm writing about this subject. It's very interesting.
- It's like hell. - Yes, it's like hell, it's a graveyard.
That way.
(Chants in religious language)
Come... Come... Come... Come...
(Speaks religious language)
You will really die! Damn you!
Release me now! Release me! Damn!
(Chants in religious language)
Damn you!
Do it to me... If you dare, do it to me...
Damn you!
- What's that noise? - It must be some kind of ceremony.
I think we're almost there.
We might be harmed when we get there.
Release me!
You'll die for sure!
Bring it now.
Ajarn!
Where is Ajarn?
Be careful, Doc, that's not really Kwan.
Try not to look at her eyes. You must not, or you'll be under its spell.
I've told you, Kwan...
Kwan, if only you had believed me.
I tried to tell you about your brain.
It's the truth.
If you'd allowed it to be the way it should have been, without question,
it wouldn't be like this. I am trying to help you.
Don't have doubts and your brain will be as it was before.
No one knows about us except us.
Believe me, Kwan, I love you.
This case is exactly like the last one.
No wound, no injury.
These people must come to make a kind of ceremony
before they all die.
I cannot work out what could make all these people die at the same time.
The last postmortem result is still not known.
What are you doing?
Don't want to be here long. Be quick.
Any story must have only one main character to carry out the plot to the end.
My work's written from my imagination.
I make myself a main character in my story.
Other characters are people whom I meet in daily life.
The majority of them are people I know well, like my friends.
My home, my boyfriend, even.
All I have told you is my way of writing.
Thank you. It's very interesting.
I'm here as a representative of the Northern Writing Group
and I would like to thank Kwanpelin Ruengrong.
Thank you. Thank you.
I got it cheaply. It's unbelievable.
Everything's been fixed.
- Please go back to work. I'll go home. - I'll get someone to give you a lift.
Why's it so dark?
What are you doing?
