Taklee Genesis x Worlds Collide (2024) Movie Script
1
Tom. Stella.
We have to get going.
Mommy,
why do we have this ritual?
It's an annual tradition of our village.
And how did it start?
It started from an age-old legend.
A long time ago,
some people went into Don Hai.
They were looking for the magic ring
that could bring prosperity
and abundance upon our village.
But once they got
the ring, greed overcame them.
The men fought over the ring
and it broke into pieces.
The Demoness of
Don Hai appeared and killed them all
and put a curse of famine on our village.
The land became barren.
So we have to perform
the ritual of sacrifice once a year,
because it is believed that
one human year is
equivalent to one day in the ghost world.
It's as if we make a sacrifice to
the Demoness of Don Hai every day.
Could that story be true?
Daddy said it's all mumbo-jumbo.
Daddy came from
a world where ghosts don't exist.
So, do ghosts exist in your world?
But we live in the same world, don't we?
Yes, it's the same world
but each of us
believes in different things.
Don Hai folks believe that one day
the Demoness will forgive us
and bless our village
with abundance again.
So, is this belief supposed to scare us
or make us hopeful?
Both, I think.
But hope gives our lives meaning.
Alright,
let's carry on.
Remember, don't ever look back.
Keep your eyes on the ground.
We're going to start the ritual now.
La!
Where's Daddy?
What's that sound?
Everyone, do not look up.
Keep praying.
It's all good, now go home.
Stay inside and do not
come out until sunrise,
or we will all be damned.
Oh, you scared me.
That's why we have
to prove it's not real, right?
Help me!
Help me!
Help me!
Help me!
The Big Bang theory states that
the universe began from
a tiny spot called singularity.
An extremely dense point
compressed with high-density
matter and infinitely powerful gravity.
The singularity is
the point at the center of a black hole,
its expansion resulting in the Big Bang
that gave birth to the universe,
matter and energy,
and the formation of our Solar System.
Any questions?
Excuse me.
Yes?
Why is Pluto still in the Solar System?
The IAU has
declassified Pluto from being a planet.
Stella, I already informed
you that there are only eight planets.
You've made an embarrassing mistake.
It's me who told you that the Solar System
has eight planets.
But you insisted on
requesting the budget for nine planets.
You're accusing me without any proof.
Well, you were accusing me first.
Where's your proof then?
If you insist that I was
the one trying to overspend the budget,
why did you approve my proposal?
Well Maybe I was careless.
But that's because I trusted you.
I thought you'd be
smarter and more thorough.
Is this because of your personal problems?
La has just divorced her husband, Sir.
- Suvapee!
- Miss La,
let your supervisor speak first.
Well, La is a single mom.
She needed to move out of her house,
and I got her a place
through our employees' welfare.
She's having a financial snag.
Or she wouldn't have done this.
This is so obvious.
The exhibition doesn't
justify the budget that I approved.
La studied abroad,
I never thought she'd be so incompetent.
Mommy, are we not going home again?
Not anymore.
I don't want to be indebted to anyone.
But I'm so sleepy.
Hang in there, Valen.
I'm looking for a place to stay.
You should've found
someone to testify that you're innocent.
No one can help us.
You're too young to understand this.
But I don't want
them to think it's your fault.
No, it's not my fault.
But sometimes people
don't want to hear the truth.
It's better to quit
than to put up with them.
The adult world
is crueler than you imagine, Valen.
And?
I want you to grow up to be
a strong woman, like your mommy.
So one day when I'm not around,
you'll be able to fight off bad guys.
But I'm not like you at all.
If we can't find a place to sleep tonight
can we go to Daddy's?
Sure I'll call him.
Eat some more.
- Hello?
- Hello, Stella?
Yes. Who's this?
I'm Ithi.
Remember me? From Don Hai.
How did you get my number?
I looked it up in Aunt Duangpon's phone.
Is something wrong with my mom?
Well
She collapsed and someone found her.
The doctor said she's not looking good.
Can you come visit her?
Hello, La?
Can you hear me?
When are you coming back?
You dug up ancient jars in Ban Chiang?
That's right.
How come you know
about the Ban Chiang site?
From a school book.
You've been to many odd places.
I have to do research
for my magazine articles.
The Twilight Realm, do you know it?
The ghost story magazine?
No, I won't let her read it.
Put that away, Valen.
Mommy,
where's Daddy?
Has he come back?
Your daddy's gone.
He won't come back.
No.
Daddy gets stuck in Don Hai.
- I'm going to him.
- La!
I'm going to Daddy.
La!
Your dad has fled the village.
No.
Daddy and I went into Don Hai.
There were dead
bodies falling from the sky.
No.
Your father ran away with someone.
You ran after his truck
until you passed out.
What you're telling us is just a dream
that you made up inside your head
to deny the truth of what really happened.
Your daddy has left us, La.
He doesn't love us anymore.
It's not true.
Go sit over there.
La, here you are.
Have some snacks.
I have lots of snacks.
You finally came out of hiding.
I thought the ghost
would hide you from us forever.
Mom,
that's Valen.
Do you know
the whole village was out looking for you?
No one could find you.
You're really good at hiding.
Your daddy had to pretend to give up,
that's when you came out.
Mom,
that was a long time ago.
For your father,
it's not long.
I just talked to the doctor.
Is there anything you want to do, Mom?
Come closer to me.
Bravo
Remember this code.
It's time for you to go and find him.
Don't ever forget it, my child.
Back there,
did she tell you what she wanted?
She wants to see my dad.
It's her fever talking.
Well, let's go to your house then.
Someone's waiting to talk to you.
LAND PURCHASE AGREEMENWhat do you want to
do with my family's land?
To grow crops, of course.
Why are you even asking?
Don't you want to sell it?
La, listen to me.
The amount Uncle Jamnoon is willing to pay
is a lot higher than the market value.
No one is going to top this offer.
If I had somewhere else to
go, I'd sell it and move out too.
Her land has a deed,
yours does not.
I wouldn't pay this high for yours.
Honestly, I never
thought I'd come back here.
But now
my mom is really sick.
Why don't we finalize the contract now,
and whenever you're
ready to sell it, just inform Ithi.
Ithi?
Yes.
He's my broker, don't you know?
I have to leave now.
Hey, La.
I've checked your motorbike.
It has sat idly for too long.
I'll oil it properly
to get it running again.
Thank you.
Kong! Let's go.
Kong.
You look exactly
the same as when I last saw you.
Kong! Come on!
I have to get back to work.
Bye.
Goodbye.
Uncle Jamnoon still
treats his son like he's 12.
Kong is actually older than us.
What do you care?
Since when did you feel concerned
about other people's lives?
What's with this sarcasm?
You're being nice to me
just because you want
your broker's commission, right?
But you'll get a huge
sum from the sale anyway.
I heard you're carrying quite a burden.
What do you know about my burden?
You couldn't even
afford the plane tickets here.
Had it not been for my child,
I wouldn't have come
back just so you can act out
your oh-so-charitable attitude.
And remember,
I'll never forgive this town.
Since you're doubting my sincerity,
then
pay me back for the plane tickets.
Wire it to me now, okay?
Mommy,
what is a burden Uncle Ithi talked about?
A burden is a heavy load
that you have no choice but to carry.
What should I do to
avoid becoming a burden to you?
Don't ever say that.
Just remember this, dear Valen.
You will grow up to become
And a woman who can take care of herself.
Never become someone else's burden.
Don't ever forget that.
Mommy,
who is that guy
with a handsome face?
Handsome face?
That's the white girl.
The white girl is here.
How come you're so white?
Let's play husband and wife.
Hey, don't act so stuck up.
Daughter of a whore!
Go ahead. Run crying to your white daddy.
Daddy, Daddy, help me.
Don't play hard to get.
Your mom's an easy bitch, right?
Asshole!
You hit my friend.
Let me go!
You insulted my mom!
Stop it.
Leave me alone!
- Don't you dare!
- Hey!
What the hell are you doing?
I'm home, Mommy.
Go shower and come have dinner.
Mommy,
who are you talking to?
Just testing this thing.
Put your phone down and go to sleep.
Duangpon, can you hear me?
Valen, get me a pen.
Mommy,
you don't need to write it down.
Just record it.
Valen,
Since when, Mom?
Since you went to college in Bangkok,
I've been able to contact your father.
But only once a year.
He said
one year on Earth
is equivalent to one minute
in the space-time where he is.
The Don Hai legend
also says that one year in the human world
- is one day in the ghost world.
- Yes.
Time moves much slower wherever he is.
What else did he say?
He said,
first of all,
take the Bracelet
and collect the magic ring in Don Hai.
Second, use the ring to
activate the Taklee Genesis
in the basement
of the abandoned radar base
in Ramasun Military Camp.
Third,
enter the coordinates he gave us.
By doing this
you'll be able to bring him back.
Your father ran away with someone.
The magic ring
Don Hai.
Ramasun Military Camp.
That's right.
You must bring him back.
So the villagers will stop saying
that your father abandoned us.
I want to see him one last time.
I'll bring him back, I promise.
Do it.
Where are you going?
To fix La's bike.
Stay here and watch the garage for me.
I'll go with you later
after I return from town.
But
I already told La that I'd be coming.
So what? She can wait.
I've told you many times
that I want to accompany you
wherever you're going.
And this car have you done fixing it?
Don't keep the customer waiting.
Kong,
I may seem overbearing,
but it's because I'm worried about you.
I don't want another accident to
happen to you like when you were a child.
Forget about La's bike.
Let her mind her own business.
She'll go back to Bangkok soon anyway.
Yes, Dad.
Kong.
Hi there.
What brought you out here?
Sorry I didn't go fix your bike.
Never mind that.
I'm not here about my bike.
I need your help with something else.
- What is it?
- Listen...
Can you borrow
your father's bracelet for me?
I'll return it soon.
You mean
You want me to steal my dad's bracelet?
Not steal. Just borrow it for a few hours.
No. He's very protective of that bracelet.
He never lets anyone touch it.
Have you wondered why
your dad is overly concerned about you?
Look, my dad has exactly
the same bracelet as your dad.
I saw my dad go into
Don Hai to look for something
before he disappeared.
You went into Don Hai too?
Yes. And I made it out alive.
You might not believe me,
but think about it.
Your dad forbids anyone to
go into Don Hai, except himself.
There must be a secret hidden in there.
The only way for us to
find out is to use his bracelet.
Don't you want to
know what it's all about?
One more thing,
you and your dad
haven't aged one bit over the years.
Is this related to the bracelet?
Your dad also treats you like a prisoner.
Why is that?
If we can solve this mystery,
it may also set you free.
What's up, Valen?
Mommy,
I think there's someone near the car.
Valen,
don't be scared.
No matter what happens,
do not get out of the car.
I'll hurry back to you.
Okay.
We should've brought her with us.
She'd be a burden.
Hey, look there.
Kong, where did you get the gun?
It's my dad's. I stole it.
Put it away.
Did you steal that too?
Better than nothing.
The legend of the magic ring
is real.
It must have
something to do with a secret project
of the U.S. Army.
Or
La, do it.
Don't put the gun down.
We must get out of here.
Let's go.
Kong, what's wrong?
Kong
Move, move!
Come on.
This way.
- Valen, open the door!
- Mommy!
It's coming behind us!
This is so fucked-up.
Are we allowed to come in here?
I've made some calls.
At 9:00 p.m?
Yeah.
Got it.
La!
Where's the machine? There's nothing here.
They said it's underground.
Look, a stairway. Come on.
The time is 10:00 p.m.
We're now inside Ramasun Military Camp.
The device we're looking for
is supposed to be in the basement.
Here we are.
At the stairs going down.
This underground space is huge. Gigantic.
It has a light?
- Did you turn it on?
- That's a door.
Let's go.
Who'd have thought there's
this room under Ramasun Camp?
Give me the walkie-talkie.
Mommy.
What the hell is it?
Whoa.
That's 200 years in the future.
Let's go, Valen.
I want to see it too.
Let's do it.
Wow!
That's the ring.
Look!
Cavemen?
Hello there!
Hi!
Are they real humans?
Get behind me, Valen.
Run!
Help!
Help!
What the hell?
They can't get through.
Because the Gravity Control ring
creates a barrier to
protect time-travelers from harm.
Sci-fi geek, huh?
Hi, guys!
We come in peace.
This is Ban Chiang Civilization.
Look at how they cover themselves.
Do you think they're going to eat us?
Valen, stay close to me.
Valen!
The earthen jars in
their dwellings indicate that
we've traveled 5,000 years back in time.
So amazing. I never thought...
Ithi!
What do we do now?
It looks like
they think we're some sort of deities
and they need our help.
Look.
They are trapped inside the barrier.
There's not enough food
so they're starving.
Then there are the zombies.
Where did the zombies come from?
Beats me, man!
But the barrier was created
by the Gravity Control ring, right?
So if we take the ring,
what will happen to these people?
La.
La!
History already told us
that the Ban Chiang people became extinct.
Their fate had been sealed.
What happened to
them had nothing to do with us.
Besides, if we don't
take the Gravity Control ring,
someone else from the future will.
We have to take the ring
so we can go help your dad.
Are you sure about this?
But how can we go get it?
We're trapped here.
Va-len.
Mor-Din.
Mordin?
I have something for you.
Here.
I'll show you.
And drink up.
This is a magic mirror.
See?
Do you like it?
See my power? Bow to me.
- Down, down!
- Valen!
And accept my power to yourself.
Valen! Valen!
Mordin!
Kong!
Kong!
Hey!
We have to go now!
I can't hold it much longer!
La!
They're coming!
Valen!
Valen! Valen!
Valen!
Valen!
Mommy!
Mommy!
Valen!
Mommy!
Valen!
Valen!
Mommy!
Mommy!
Mommy!
Mordin!
Let's go.
Kong!
Now!
La! Come on!
Run!
Go!
Kong!
Activate the Warpball.
La!
La!
La! Stop!
Stop right there! Back off!
Back off!
No! Stand back!
Back off!
La! Behind me!
Mordin! Mordin! Mordin!
Stop! Stop!
Mommy!
Valen!
Mordin!
Give me that.
- I'm going to get Valen.
- La, listen to me.
We can't go back there.
Remember what Tom said?
The ring will only
seek out its missing parts.
I'm sorry.
No. I'm going back to Valen!
Give me the Warpball!
La, calm down. Calm down.
Think about it. You could end
up in some random space-time.
It's all your fault, Ithi.
Why did you threaten that woman?
She was trying to bring Valen back to me.
I was freaking out. I'm sorry.
Please, calm down.
Kong!
Dad!
Give me back the Bracelet!
Or I'll shoot them all dead!
Hold on, Dad! Let's talk this out.
What do we have to talk about?
You don't have
the slightest idea how fucked-up
everything has become because of you!
I've been waiting for 10 years
for you to bring my Bracelet back,
so I can go and fix the mess you've made.
Ten years?
What're you talking about?
We've been gone for less than an hour.
You don't believe me?
Come! I'll show you!
Because you stole the magic ring,
the Don Hai monster came
out and killed the whole village.
Including your mother!
Your mother died because of you, La!
Give me back the device,
before everything gets
worse than it already has.
No!
I have to rescue my daughter
and bring my dad back first.
My dad didn't run away
like in the story you made up.
Your father isn't
the good guy you think he is.
All white people cannot be trusted.
Give me back the Bracelet.
I want to go and help someone I love too.
Please, Uncle.
Right now, this device
It's not working as it's supposed to.
Believe me.
When I'm done, I'll restore
everything to the original state.
Give it to me now!
Or I'll shoot this kid!
- Kong!
- Please, Dad.
La, go now.
- Let me go!
- No!
- I said let go!
- Hurry up.
Now!
Kong.
Hey!
Hurry up, La!
Kong!
Now!
Go!
Kong!
Don't shoot.
We're unarmed.
Who the hell are you?
I'm asking, who the hell are you!?
Hey!
You can't detain us here.
Let us go, now.
I'm sorry about this.
But my friends don't trust you.
I can't let you go.
Come on, young lady. We can talk
but please release us first.
What about the kid?
Where's the kid?
He's fine.
Teach us how to operate Taklee Genesis
and we'll let you go.
You took the Warpball?
Give it back!
Whoa, whoa!
Chill, guys. Just chill.
Okay?
You already have your device,
why did you steal mine?
Give it back now!
The device that we have
was reverse-engineered
from the model
we found in an Old World's textbook.
But it doesn't function in the same way
as the prototype that you've brought.
Can you teach us how to use it?
We really need to make it work
because all of us here
are about to die.
Hold on.
How do you know what
we have is the prototype?
And how could you make a duplicate of it?
Who are you guys and what's happened here?
It all began
after Udon Thani had recovered
from the invasion of a kaiju monster.
200 years ago.
The Western Allies returned
to Thailand
to defeat the kaiju once and for all.
Our ancestors rebuilt
Udon Thani from rubble
and gave it a new name:
New U-Dawn.
The Western Allies
initially supported this endeavor,
but soon they sided with
the industrialists in The Capital
and usurped all
our resources to the center,
while leaving
the people of U-Dawn in poverty.
We're the Resistance made
up of specialists in many fields,
and we've banded
together to fight The Capital.
But one day, there was a big
explosion in the sky over New U-Dawn.
That moment is known as "Black Hole 2165".
It was a devastating catastrophe.
Instead of sending help,
The Capital evacuated only the loyalists,
leaving the Resistance
to fight the monsters.
Then we discovered
something that might be able to save us.
We searched
the archives and found out that
Udon Thani had
repeatedly faced apocalyptic disasters.
It began during the Vietnam War
when the Taklee Genesis
experiment was hidden underground.
You guys come back?
What is it?
This one has two pieces.
All the good stuff this time.
We found useful
information in The Twilight Realm.
Taklee Genesis was a time-travel
device capable of transporting people
to any place at any time
in the universe at warp speed.
It was built by a civilization
that could perceive seven dimensions.
We have no idea how
the West obtained the prototype.
But if people from
centuries ago could rebuild it,
then it shouldn't be too
hard for us to do the same.
Take a deep breath.
So we reverse-engineered the machine,
using leftover technology and resources.
We devoted so much
time and energy to reconstruct it
because we believed
it could take us away from here.
For Taklee
Genesis.
Decades have passed
and we still remain
young, as if we're cursed.
We still believe that one
day it will get us out of here.
So our friends wouldn't die in vain.
That day is today.
The day you arrived
with the Taklee Genesis
that actually works.
Finally,
we'll be able to get out of here.
But the problem is
we don't know how to control it.
Can you teach us?
I can't.
I need it to go help my
father and my daughter too.
La
Adults are all fucking selfish.
- Mike.
- They really are.
The missiles will hit us at any second,
and they still don't
give a shit if we're dead.
But you took my Warpball.
How can I make sure
that you'll give it back to me?
La,
let's negotiate.
Listen, guys.
We'll warp you to anywhere you want,
but you have to return
the Warpball to us, okay?
I'll give you one night to think about it.
Just one night.
Let's go, Cher.
Dad
You'll be okay.
I'll take you to the hospital.
There's no
There's no one left.
Take me down, Kong.
I don't want to waste even a minute.
Ithi,
do you think Valen can look after herself?
If we help these kids,
will they give us back the Warpball?
Back then,
when you asked Kong to come with us,
you didn't know for sure that he would.
What made you believe
that he would want to work with us?
The look in his eyes, I guess.
Kong seems harmless.
These kids seem harmless to me too.
They hit us and tied us up,
you call that harmless?
That's because
they've been hurt by adults.
Why don't you trust your instinct again?
I'm so scared I'll make a wrong choice.
You want to see Valen again, right?
Then there's no wrong choice.
The only choice for us
is to play this game to the end.
If we succeed,
we'll be able to fix everything.
We'll be able to save your father.
Save Valen.
Save these kids
from their terrible fate.
I'm sorry. I don't
want any of this to happen.
I don't want this.
Dad, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You did nothing wrong.
It's not your fault at all.
It's the price
I have to pay for my bad Karma.
Kong
There's something
that you must know.
In 1964,
people believed
that the American soldiers detained
and tortured
prisoners for military intelligence.
Lawan!
Stop it! Please!
But in fact,
the Ramasun Army Camp was built
as a facility for
an experiment in time-travel.
Get up!
Lawan was a daughter of a Laotian general.
She was highly educated
and knew their language.
She also knew how to use
the device built by the Americans.
As for me, I was just a lowly driver
who couldn't help her.
When Lawan and I
were forced into the experiment,
we planned to steal
the Taklee Genesis machine
and flee this evil camp.
Walk!
I can't breathe!
Hurry up! Go!
Run away!
Don't shoot or I'll blow his head off!
In the end, we both escaped the Americans
and fell down in Don Hai
in the year 1969.
The Taklee Genesis created a force field
that distorted objects and time.
But somehow, it also saved Lawan's life.
I hoped that one day
she'd return to become her normal self.
The Vietnam War,
which has been fought for over 19 years,
has come to an end.
The American troops will
soon pull out of Southeast Asia
and return to where they came from.
Finally.
Since Lawan could not leave Don Hai,
she told me to start a new life.
I decided to leave to
find a way to cure her.
But soon I found out that
the war hadn't actually ended,
and the time portal was still used
to cover up a massacre.
All this time,
I've been telling you
that what happened to you
was an accident.
But in truth,
I just wanted you to forget
the horrifying past that happened to you.
Really, Dad
who am I?
You and Lawan
are the reason
that I have to remain in Don Hai
in order to
protect the magic ring
from bad guys.
What should I do now?
Now you are free.
When La comes back,
you can do whatever you want.
Anything that you wish.
But La's not coming back, Dad.
She is.
Kong,
can you take me to Lawan?
Sure, Dad.
Do you think we can pull it off?
There's a possibility.
But we'll have to prepare
for the risks that will surely follow.
We've already taken all kinds of risks.
Except for
our brothers and sisters in arms,
we have nothing else to lose.
Are we back in the present?
We'll teach you how
to control the Warpball.
But while you're using it,
the sphere of time that protects
you from the missiles will be deactivated,
and you'll risk being hit.
It happened when we went
to get the Gravity Control ring,
and we don't want
the same thing to happen to you.
Then what do we have to do?
Pull the tarp.
Don't you have any less scary beasts?
No, we don't.
Everything else was hunted to extinction
by this animal ten years ago.
Ready?
The Bracelet's here.
Now put your hand over it.
Your thumb controls the time.
The index finger controls the latitude.
Mike, this is Chart. Stand by.
Alert us if
the missiles start gaining speed,
so we can get ready for evacuation.
Copy that.
Start the experiment.
We'll transport a creature from the future
to the Amazon jungle 75 million years ago,
then bring it back
here again in 30 seconds.
We did it!
Not yet.
Not until it comes back here.
Mike, this is Chart.
The missiles are moving.
Wait.
How come the creature was sent there?
- Where?
- Ramasun Military Camp, year 2033.
Do something!
Mike, this is Chart.
The missiles are coming in hard.
But the Iron Dome from
100 years ago is still working.
Where has it gone?
Guys, be careful.
Shit!
Get the Warpball.
Shoot it!
Shoot at it!
Come with me!
The kid?
Whoa!
- Kid!
- Run, now!
Let's go!
Mike, this is Chart.
The missiles are about to hit.
Evacuate everyone to the basement.
Chart, don't come down!
The dinosaur's on the loose!
What the fuck?
Chemical gas?
Kawaii!
The Capital is using
chemical weapons on us!
Hold your breath.
- Now what?
- Take everyone to the basement.
Cover your mouth.
I'll go help Kawaii.
Give me the Bracelet and the Warpball.
Why?
So we can find out what's happening.
You have to trust me.
Did you use all the five rings?
No. You only gave us four.
We had to use
our own Galactic Longitude ring.
That's why the Warpball returned
to 2033 to find the missing piece.
La,
activate the Warpball and get us out.
Now!
Hey!
Do it.
Ithi, distract it.
Michael,
on my cue.
- Now!
- Fire!
Mike!
You have to go up there.
The Capital is coming!
You can come with us.
Once we get the Galactic Longitude ring,
we can travel anywhere.
I'm not going anywhere.
Where else are we supposed to live?
Is there still a place for us out there?
I'm so tired.
It's been 68 years.
I want to end this struggle right here.
But I think
your friends would want you to live.
I've lived long enough.
If any of you want to go with them,
go ahead.
But if you choose to stay,
get your weapons ready.
We'll fight them together.
For Chart
and all our fallen brothers and sisters.
I can't leave them behind.
I will put an end to this,
and die with my friends if I might.
But Michael,
we still have a chance.
No, we haven't.
I'm sorry.
I've been lying to you.
We can't use the machine whenever we want.
Every time we activated it,
it created a causality breakdown.
- Causality breakdown?
- Yes.
That's why we don't age.
That's why dinosaurs
suddenly showed up here to kill us.
All because of causality breakdown.
All Udon residents
who still remain in the city
must evacuate from
the 15 km radius right now.
In 20 minutes,
the U.S. Army will launch a nuclear weapon
to exterminate the monster.
We have to leave.
If you cannot evacuate,
please find a shelter.
What's wrong?
May the sacred thing protect you.
Let's sit over there.
The Taklee Genesis machine
disrupted the rules of light-speed travel
and allowed people to
jump across space-time.
But in the end,
cosmic time was totally messed up,
the engine of the universe was destroyed
and finally collapsed.
I know it hurts.
The aliens' invention
destroyed their own civilization.
But you'll be okay.
It all happened before
the existence of our own universe.
But how come
Taklee Genesis showed up in our time?
There must be a reason.
You guys are so brilliant to
have reconstructed the machine.
Maybe your version of Taklee Genesis
could save all of us.
Do not give up!
This is the Quantum Entanglement ring.
I've upgraded it from the original.
It will rearrange the chaotic timelines
and bring back the chronological order.
What you're seeing now
are the ripples
created by time-travels.
The chronology of
the universe is disturbed
every time the machine is activated.
What about these yellow spots?
That's us.
We've been exposed
to the machine's radiation.
Valen.
Udon Thani, 2024
You must take this ring
and send out the signal
in order to reset the space-time order.
Do it from a place where
the signal can go out into space.
The place where you left
and where the machine was still working.
Ramasun Camp.
Yes. The last place
where the machine still functioned.
But
what will happen if we reset the universe?
Everything will go back
to where it was before the chaos.
Your past will stay intact,
but your future will be unknown.
I believe
this is the best way out for everyone.
Why's that?
You asked me
why the Taklee Genesis
showed up in our time?
It got me thinking
why did it have to be you guys
who came from a radar
station somewhere in the past?
Maybe
all of this means something.
Or maybe
we can save the universe.
I just want to save my family.
You're putting too much hope on me.
I know.
But someone told me
that hope gives our lives meaning.
So I always keep my hopes up.
Who told you that?
My grandma.
A long time ago.
You'd better hurry.
Maybe we'll meet again.
What are you doing?
I'll stay here.
These kids have no one to speak for them.
I'll help them
negotiate to avoid a bloodbath.
You should go.
You don't know how cruel The Capital is.
Adults in my time are
no different from yours.
I know the old
generation in this country well.
If you stay,
you might get stuck here forever.
That's fine.
I'm fed up with Don Hai anyway.
Let me stay.
I want to know what will happen next.
Besides,
I don't want this timeline
to end up like Ban Chiang.
You don't have to do this.
It's okay.
You can do it without me.
One more thing.
Use my notes to write
articles for The Twilight Realm.
Now go help Valen.
Kong,
where is your father?
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Where's Ithi?
He's in the future, waiting for us.
We now have the Chronometer ring.
Is that the Galactic Longitude?
We have to use them to go get Valen,
then we will go back to 2023
to reset everything.
Why don't we time-travel
to the past and save everyone?
We can't do that.
The more we change the past,
the more chaotic the universe will become.
All we can do is
reset everything.
What about the people who were killed?
Can we bring them back to life?
Maybe.
But you have to come with me.
Uncle Tom has radioed Valen's coordinates.
Kong!
The US with the intelligence
from electronic equipment
from the army.
So the US knows about the movement
What're you doing?
I have to go help my kid!
I have to go help someone too.
They can probably tell me who I really am.
But it's dangerous.
Listen, after I've helped my friend,
I'll return the Warpball to you. Okay?
Run!
Hurry!
Pan!
Where have you been?
Kong!
DICTATOR
WE WANT CONSTITUTION
That electronic equipment
is from the headquarters.
So the US knows about the movement
So the US knows
about the movement of the army
- Pan, come with me.
- Wait.
You come with me.
Pan!
What? What the hell is that?
Pan! Pan!
Pan!
Get out of there!
Pan!
- Mommy!
- Mordin!
No!
No!
Hey!
Why are you still here?
He wants to stay and help.
Take it.
Kong, stop using the Warpball.
It'll distort the timelines even further.
By the intelligence
- Hey!
- Pan!
- Where've you been?
- Run!
- Pan, this way!
- No! No!
Go to the river if you want to live!
- How do you know?
- Trust me!
What?
What the hell is that?
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
If you want me to consider
The government is not stable enough
to make the US
trust us.
What is The Capital babbling about?
No, it's not them.
It's a radio broadcast
during the student massacre.
Student massacre?
Hey!
There!
Get down!
Fire!
Everybody, run!
I'll be right back.
Be careful.
You alright?
Quick!
Are you alright?
RUTHLESSNESS IS THE NATURE
OF THE RULING CLASS
Slowly.
There they are!
Get over here!
Come out! Now!
You brat!
Boss!
All of you! Now!
Come out now!
Come out, you brat!
I'm sorry, La.
About what?
You have to come with me.
I'll stay.
This is where I came from.
Take it.
Hold on.
Make sure we're not forgotten.
Don't forget me, La.
Now get out of here.
Valen!
Mommy!
- Valen!
- Mommy!
Valen!
I'm sorry I left you.
Mommy, I can take care of myself.
I'm not your burden anymore.
You were never my burden, Sweetie.
Mordin
- Get over here.
- No, Mordin.
Come here.
Mordin.
Mordin!
Mordin!
Mordin!
Mommy!
Are you alright?
You have to help me.
Turn on the machine. I know you can do it.
Are you okay?
I'm good. Just go.
Hurry up.
Mommy,
I've turned on the machine.
But it's booting.
La.
La, can you see me?
I'm right here.
La.
Mom.
Is this real?
Mom, I'm sorry.
I'm a failure.
I've lost everyone.
Who said you're a failure?
You've found your way here to see me.
You've made it this far.
Don't cry.
Now you've come to the point
where you have to choose a new beginning.
Will I see Valen again?
How long do I have to be here?
Or maybe I'm already dead?
How can Valen live without me?
La,
don't believe everything your dad said.
We're just tiny
dots in this vast universe.
But where there is love,
every little thing does matter.
No matter how small it is.
That's the meaning of our existence.
A new time is about to begin.
No matter which Genesis you choose,
remember that
it will await you in the future.
Good luck, La.
We made it.
It works.
May you have a bright future.
You!
Mommy!
Mommy!
Valen!
Are you okay?
What's wrong, Mommy?
I just had a bad dream.
No, you didn't have a bad dream.
Where did you get it from?
From my friend.
Mom.
La,
what's wrong, dear?
What is it?
Don't cry, good girl.
I'm sorry I couldn't bring Dad back.
It's alright, my dear.
Your dad is only taking a little trip.
I dreamt about him last night, you know.
In the dream,
all three of us are together.
But I'm a tree.
And your father is the sky.
Weird, isn't it?
Now, now.
Don't cry.
It's alright, La.
My good girl mustn't cry.
You look ugly when you cry.
Everything is fine.
Who'd have thought that my
daydream would take me this far?
This record of my
adventure may sound incredible,
but at least all of
you should find it entertaining.
But for those of
you who believe in my story,
I hope you'll find it useful.
Thank you for keeping hope alive,
because hope always
gives our lives meaning.
Do you think I should plant a tree here?
You can clearly see the sky from here.
That's good, Mom.
Mommy.
Mordin has written his diary today.
Hi, I'm Mordin.
That's a good start.
Mommy,
will we ever see Teacher Ithi again?
Tom. Stella.
We have to get going.
Mommy,
why do we have this ritual?
It's an annual tradition of our village.
And how did it start?
It started from an age-old legend.
A long time ago,
some people went into Don Hai.
They were looking for the magic ring
that could bring prosperity
and abundance upon our village.
But once they got
the ring, greed overcame them.
The men fought over the ring
and it broke into pieces.
The Demoness of
Don Hai appeared and killed them all
and put a curse of famine on our village.
The land became barren.
So we have to perform
the ritual of sacrifice once a year,
because it is believed that
one human year is
equivalent to one day in the ghost world.
It's as if we make a sacrifice to
the Demoness of Don Hai every day.
Could that story be true?
Daddy said it's all mumbo-jumbo.
Daddy came from
a world where ghosts don't exist.
So, do ghosts exist in your world?
But we live in the same world, don't we?
Yes, it's the same world
but each of us
believes in different things.
Don Hai folks believe that one day
the Demoness will forgive us
and bless our village
with abundance again.
So, is this belief supposed to scare us
or make us hopeful?
Both, I think.
But hope gives our lives meaning.
Alright,
let's carry on.
Remember, don't ever look back.
Keep your eyes on the ground.
We're going to start the ritual now.
La!
Where's Daddy?
What's that sound?
Everyone, do not look up.
Keep praying.
It's all good, now go home.
Stay inside and do not
come out until sunrise,
or we will all be damned.
Oh, you scared me.
That's why we have
to prove it's not real, right?
Help me!
Help me!
Help me!
Help me!
The Big Bang theory states that
the universe began from
a tiny spot called singularity.
An extremely dense point
compressed with high-density
matter and infinitely powerful gravity.
The singularity is
the point at the center of a black hole,
its expansion resulting in the Big Bang
that gave birth to the universe,
matter and energy,
and the formation of our Solar System.
Any questions?
Excuse me.
Yes?
Why is Pluto still in the Solar System?
The IAU has
declassified Pluto from being a planet.
Stella, I already informed
you that there are only eight planets.
You've made an embarrassing mistake.
It's me who told you that the Solar System
has eight planets.
But you insisted on
requesting the budget for nine planets.
You're accusing me without any proof.
Well, you were accusing me first.
Where's your proof then?
If you insist that I was
the one trying to overspend the budget,
why did you approve my proposal?
Well Maybe I was careless.
But that's because I trusted you.
I thought you'd be
smarter and more thorough.
Is this because of your personal problems?
La has just divorced her husband, Sir.
- Suvapee!
- Miss La,
let your supervisor speak first.
Well, La is a single mom.
She needed to move out of her house,
and I got her a place
through our employees' welfare.
She's having a financial snag.
Or she wouldn't have done this.
This is so obvious.
The exhibition doesn't
justify the budget that I approved.
La studied abroad,
I never thought she'd be so incompetent.
Mommy, are we not going home again?
Not anymore.
I don't want to be indebted to anyone.
But I'm so sleepy.
Hang in there, Valen.
I'm looking for a place to stay.
You should've found
someone to testify that you're innocent.
No one can help us.
You're too young to understand this.
But I don't want
them to think it's your fault.
No, it's not my fault.
But sometimes people
don't want to hear the truth.
It's better to quit
than to put up with them.
The adult world
is crueler than you imagine, Valen.
And?
I want you to grow up to be
a strong woman, like your mommy.
So one day when I'm not around,
you'll be able to fight off bad guys.
But I'm not like you at all.
If we can't find a place to sleep tonight
can we go to Daddy's?
Sure I'll call him.
Eat some more.
- Hello?
- Hello, Stella?
Yes. Who's this?
I'm Ithi.
Remember me? From Don Hai.
How did you get my number?
I looked it up in Aunt Duangpon's phone.
Is something wrong with my mom?
Well
She collapsed and someone found her.
The doctor said she's not looking good.
Can you come visit her?
Hello, La?
Can you hear me?
When are you coming back?
You dug up ancient jars in Ban Chiang?
That's right.
How come you know
about the Ban Chiang site?
From a school book.
You've been to many odd places.
I have to do research
for my magazine articles.
The Twilight Realm, do you know it?
The ghost story magazine?
No, I won't let her read it.
Put that away, Valen.
Mommy,
where's Daddy?
Has he come back?
Your daddy's gone.
He won't come back.
No.
Daddy gets stuck in Don Hai.
- I'm going to him.
- La!
I'm going to Daddy.
La!
Your dad has fled the village.
No.
Daddy and I went into Don Hai.
There were dead
bodies falling from the sky.
No.
Your father ran away with someone.
You ran after his truck
until you passed out.
What you're telling us is just a dream
that you made up inside your head
to deny the truth of what really happened.
Your daddy has left us, La.
He doesn't love us anymore.
It's not true.
Go sit over there.
La, here you are.
Have some snacks.
I have lots of snacks.
You finally came out of hiding.
I thought the ghost
would hide you from us forever.
Mom,
that's Valen.
Do you know
the whole village was out looking for you?
No one could find you.
You're really good at hiding.
Your daddy had to pretend to give up,
that's when you came out.
Mom,
that was a long time ago.
For your father,
it's not long.
I just talked to the doctor.
Is there anything you want to do, Mom?
Come closer to me.
Bravo
Remember this code.
It's time for you to go and find him.
Don't ever forget it, my child.
Back there,
did she tell you what she wanted?
She wants to see my dad.
It's her fever talking.
Well, let's go to your house then.
Someone's waiting to talk to you.
LAND PURCHASE AGREEMENWhat do you want to
do with my family's land?
To grow crops, of course.
Why are you even asking?
Don't you want to sell it?
La, listen to me.
The amount Uncle Jamnoon is willing to pay
is a lot higher than the market value.
No one is going to top this offer.
If I had somewhere else to
go, I'd sell it and move out too.
Her land has a deed,
yours does not.
I wouldn't pay this high for yours.
Honestly, I never
thought I'd come back here.
But now
my mom is really sick.
Why don't we finalize the contract now,
and whenever you're
ready to sell it, just inform Ithi.
Ithi?
Yes.
He's my broker, don't you know?
I have to leave now.
Hey, La.
I've checked your motorbike.
It has sat idly for too long.
I'll oil it properly
to get it running again.
Thank you.
Kong! Let's go.
Kong.
You look exactly
the same as when I last saw you.
Kong! Come on!
I have to get back to work.
Bye.
Goodbye.
Uncle Jamnoon still
treats his son like he's 12.
Kong is actually older than us.
What do you care?
Since when did you feel concerned
about other people's lives?
What's with this sarcasm?
You're being nice to me
just because you want
your broker's commission, right?
But you'll get a huge
sum from the sale anyway.
I heard you're carrying quite a burden.
What do you know about my burden?
You couldn't even
afford the plane tickets here.
Had it not been for my child,
I wouldn't have come
back just so you can act out
your oh-so-charitable attitude.
And remember,
I'll never forgive this town.
Since you're doubting my sincerity,
then
pay me back for the plane tickets.
Wire it to me now, okay?
Mommy,
what is a burden Uncle Ithi talked about?
A burden is a heavy load
that you have no choice but to carry.
What should I do to
avoid becoming a burden to you?
Don't ever say that.
Just remember this, dear Valen.
You will grow up to become
And a woman who can take care of herself.
Never become someone else's burden.
Don't ever forget that.
Mommy,
who is that guy
with a handsome face?
Handsome face?
That's the white girl.
The white girl is here.
How come you're so white?
Let's play husband and wife.
Hey, don't act so stuck up.
Daughter of a whore!
Go ahead. Run crying to your white daddy.
Daddy, Daddy, help me.
Don't play hard to get.
Your mom's an easy bitch, right?
Asshole!
You hit my friend.
Let me go!
You insulted my mom!
Stop it.
Leave me alone!
- Don't you dare!
- Hey!
What the hell are you doing?
I'm home, Mommy.
Go shower and come have dinner.
Mommy,
who are you talking to?
Just testing this thing.
Put your phone down and go to sleep.
Duangpon, can you hear me?
Valen, get me a pen.
Mommy,
you don't need to write it down.
Just record it.
Valen,
Since when, Mom?
Since you went to college in Bangkok,
I've been able to contact your father.
But only once a year.
He said
one year on Earth
is equivalent to one minute
in the space-time where he is.
The Don Hai legend
also says that one year in the human world
- is one day in the ghost world.
- Yes.
Time moves much slower wherever he is.
What else did he say?
He said,
first of all,
take the Bracelet
and collect the magic ring in Don Hai.
Second, use the ring to
activate the Taklee Genesis
in the basement
of the abandoned radar base
in Ramasun Military Camp.
Third,
enter the coordinates he gave us.
By doing this
you'll be able to bring him back.
Your father ran away with someone.
The magic ring
Don Hai.
Ramasun Military Camp.
That's right.
You must bring him back.
So the villagers will stop saying
that your father abandoned us.
I want to see him one last time.
I'll bring him back, I promise.
Do it.
Where are you going?
To fix La's bike.
Stay here and watch the garage for me.
I'll go with you later
after I return from town.
But
I already told La that I'd be coming.
So what? She can wait.
I've told you many times
that I want to accompany you
wherever you're going.
And this car have you done fixing it?
Don't keep the customer waiting.
Kong,
I may seem overbearing,
but it's because I'm worried about you.
I don't want another accident to
happen to you like when you were a child.
Forget about La's bike.
Let her mind her own business.
She'll go back to Bangkok soon anyway.
Yes, Dad.
Kong.
Hi there.
What brought you out here?
Sorry I didn't go fix your bike.
Never mind that.
I'm not here about my bike.
I need your help with something else.
- What is it?
- Listen...
Can you borrow
your father's bracelet for me?
I'll return it soon.
You mean
You want me to steal my dad's bracelet?
Not steal. Just borrow it for a few hours.
No. He's very protective of that bracelet.
He never lets anyone touch it.
Have you wondered why
your dad is overly concerned about you?
Look, my dad has exactly
the same bracelet as your dad.
I saw my dad go into
Don Hai to look for something
before he disappeared.
You went into Don Hai too?
Yes. And I made it out alive.
You might not believe me,
but think about it.
Your dad forbids anyone to
go into Don Hai, except himself.
There must be a secret hidden in there.
The only way for us to
find out is to use his bracelet.
Don't you want to
know what it's all about?
One more thing,
you and your dad
haven't aged one bit over the years.
Is this related to the bracelet?
Your dad also treats you like a prisoner.
Why is that?
If we can solve this mystery,
it may also set you free.
What's up, Valen?
Mommy,
I think there's someone near the car.
Valen,
don't be scared.
No matter what happens,
do not get out of the car.
I'll hurry back to you.
Okay.
We should've brought her with us.
She'd be a burden.
Hey, look there.
Kong, where did you get the gun?
It's my dad's. I stole it.
Put it away.
Did you steal that too?
Better than nothing.
The legend of the magic ring
is real.
It must have
something to do with a secret project
of the U.S. Army.
Or
La, do it.
Don't put the gun down.
We must get out of here.
Let's go.
Kong, what's wrong?
Kong
Move, move!
Come on.
This way.
- Valen, open the door!
- Mommy!
It's coming behind us!
This is so fucked-up.
Are we allowed to come in here?
I've made some calls.
At 9:00 p.m?
Yeah.
Got it.
La!
Where's the machine? There's nothing here.
They said it's underground.
Look, a stairway. Come on.
The time is 10:00 p.m.
We're now inside Ramasun Military Camp.
The device we're looking for
is supposed to be in the basement.
Here we are.
At the stairs going down.
This underground space is huge. Gigantic.
It has a light?
- Did you turn it on?
- That's a door.
Let's go.
Who'd have thought there's
this room under Ramasun Camp?
Give me the walkie-talkie.
Mommy.
What the hell is it?
Whoa.
That's 200 years in the future.
Let's go, Valen.
I want to see it too.
Let's do it.
Wow!
That's the ring.
Look!
Cavemen?
Hello there!
Hi!
Are they real humans?
Get behind me, Valen.
Run!
Help!
Help!
What the hell?
They can't get through.
Because the Gravity Control ring
creates a barrier to
protect time-travelers from harm.
Sci-fi geek, huh?
Hi, guys!
We come in peace.
This is Ban Chiang Civilization.
Look at how they cover themselves.
Do you think they're going to eat us?
Valen, stay close to me.
Valen!
The earthen jars in
their dwellings indicate that
we've traveled 5,000 years back in time.
So amazing. I never thought...
Ithi!
What do we do now?
It looks like
they think we're some sort of deities
and they need our help.
Look.
They are trapped inside the barrier.
There's not enough food
so they're starving.
Then there are the zombies.
Where did the zombies come from?
Beats me, man!
But the barrier was created
by the Gravity Control ring, right?
So if we take the ring,
what will happen to these people?
La.
La!
History already told us
that the Ban Chiang people became extinct.
Their fate had been sealed.
What happened to
them had nothing to do with us.
Besides, if we don't
take the Gravity Control ring,
someone else from the future will.
We have to take the ring
so we can go help your dad.
Are you sure about this?
But how can we go get it?
We're trapped here.
Va-len.
Mor-Din.
Mordin?
I have something for you.
Here.
I'll show you.
And drink up.
This is a magic mirror.
See?
Do you like it?
See my power? Bow to me.
- Down, down!
- Valen!
And accept my power to yourself.
Valen! Valen!
Mordin!
Kong!
Kong!
Hey!
We have to go now!
I can't hold it much longer!
La!
They're coming!
Valen!
Valen! Valen!
Valen!
Valen!
Mommy!
Mommy!
Valen!
Mommy!
Valen!
Valen!
Mommy!
Mommy!
Mommy!
Mordin!
Let's go.
Kong!
Now!
La! Come on!
Run!
Go!
Kong!
Activate the Warpball.
La!
La!
La! Stop!
Stop right there! Back off!
Back off!
No! Stand back!
Back off!
La! Behind me!
Mordin! Mordin! Mordin!
Stop! Stop!
Mommy!
Valen!
Mordin!
Give me that.
- I'm going to get Valen.
- La, listen to me.
We can't go back there.
Remember what Tom said?
The ring will only
seek out its missing parts.
I'm sorry.
No. I'm going back to Valen!
Give me the Warpball!
La, calm down. Calm down.
Think about it. You could end
up in some random space-time.
It's all your fault, Ithi.
Why did you threaten that woman?
She was trying to bring Valen back to me.
I was freaking out. I'm sorry.
Please, calm down.
Kong!
Dad!
Give me back the Bracelet!
Or I'll shoot them all dead!
Hold on, Dad! Let's talk this out.
What do we have to talk about?
You don't have
the slightest idea how fucked-up
everything has become because of you!
I've been waiting for 10 years
for you to bring my Bracelet back,
so I can go and fix the mess you've made.
Ten years?
What're you talking about?
We've been gone for less than an hour.
You don't believe me?
Come! I'll show you!
Because you stole the magic ring,
the Don Hai monster came
out and killed the whole village.
Including your mother!
Your mother died because of you, La!
Give me back the device,
before everything gets
worse than it already has.
No!
I have to rescue my daughter
and bring my dad back first.
My dad didn't run away
like in the story you made up.
Your father isn't
the good guy you think he is.
All white people cannot be trusted.
Give me back the Bracelet.
I want to go and help someone I love too.
Please, Uncle.
Right now, this device
It's not working as it's supposed to.
Believe me.
When I'm done, I'll restore
everything to the original state.
Give it to me now!
Or I'll shoot this kid!
- Kong!
- Please, Dad.
La, go now.
- Let me go!
- No!
- I said let go!
- Hurry up.
Now!
Kong.
Hey!
Hurry up, La!
Kong!
Now!
Go!
Kong!
Don't shoot.
We're unarmed.
Who the hell are you?
I'm asking, who the hell are you!?
Hey!
You can't detain us here.
Let us go, now.
I'm sorry about this.
But my friends don't trust you.
I can't let you go.
Come on, young lady. We can talk
but please release us first.
What about the kid?
Where's the kid?
He's fine.
Teach us how to operate Taklee Genesis
and we'll let you go.
You took the Warpball?
Give it back!
Whoa, whoa!
Chill, guys. Just chill.
Okay?
You already have your device,
why did you steal mine?
Give it back now!
The device that we have
was reverse-engineered
from the model
we found in an Old World's textbook.
But it doesn't function in the same way
as the prototype that you've brought.
Can you teach us how to use it?
We really need to make it work
because all of us here
are about to die.
Hold on.
How do you know what
we have is the prototype?
And how could you make a duplicate of it?
Who are you guys and what's happened here?
It all began
after Udon Thani had recovered
from the invasion of a kaiju monster.
200 years ago.
The Western Allies returned
to Thailand
to defeat the kaiju once and for all.
Our ancestors rebuilt
Udon Thani from rubble
and gave it a new name:
New U-Dawn.
The Western Allies
initially supported this endeavor,
but soon they sided with
the industrialists in The Capital
and usurped all
our resources to the center,
while leaving
the people of U-Dawn in poverty.
We're the Resistance made
up of specialists in many fields,
and we've banded
together to fight The Capital.
But one day, there was a big
explosion in the sky over New U-Dawn.
That moment is known as "Black Hole 2165".
It was a devastating catastrophe.
Instead of sending help,
The Capital evacuated only the loyalists,
leaving the Resistance
to fight the monsters.
Then we discovered
something that might be able to save us.
We searched
the archives and found out that
Udon Thani had
repeatedly faced apocalyptic disasters.
It began during the Vietnam War
when the Taklee Genesis
experiment was hidden underground.
You guys come back?
What is it?
This one has two pieces.
All the good stuff this time.
We found useful
information in The Twilight Realm.
Taklee Genesis was a time-travel
device capable of transporting people
to any place at any time
in the universe at warp speed.
It was built by a civilization
that could perceive seven dimensions.
We have no idea how
the West obtained the prototype.
But if people from
centuries ago could rebuild it,
then it shouldn't be too
hard for us to do the same.
Take a deep breath.
So we reverse-engineered the machine,
using leftover technology and resources.
We devoted so much
time and energy to reconstruct it
because we believed
it could take us away from here.
For Taklee
Genesis.
Decades have passed
and we still remain
young, as if we're cursed.
We still believe that one
day it will get us out of here.
So our friends wouldn't die in vain.
That day is today.
The day you arrived
with the Taklee Genesis
that actually works.
Finally,
we'll be able to get out of here.
But the problem is
we don't know how to control it.
Can you teach us?
I can't.
I need it to go help my
father and my daughter too.
La
Adults are all fucking selfish.
- Mike.
- They really are.
The missiles will hit us at any second,
and they still don't
give a shit if we're dead.
But you took my Warpball.
How can I make sure
that you'll give it back to me?
La,
let's negotiate.
Listen, guys.
We'll warp you to anywhere you want,
but you have to return
the Warpball to us, okay?
I'll give you one night to think about it.
Just one night.
Let's go, Cher.
Dad
You'll be okay.
I'll take you to the hospital.
There's no
There's no one left.
Take me down, Kong.
I don't want to waste even a minute.
Ithi,
do you think Valen can look after herself?
If we help these kids,
will they give us back the Warpball?
Back then,
when you asked Kong to come with us,
you didn't know for sure that he would.
What made you believe
that he would want to work with us?
The look in his eyes, I guess.
Kong seems harmless.
These kids seem harmless to me too.
They hit us and tied us up,
you call that harmless?
That's because
they've been hurt by adults.
Why don't you trust your instinct again?
I'm so scared I'll make a wrong choice.
You want to see Valen again, right?
Then there's no wrong choice.
The only choice for us
is to play this game to the end.
If we succeed,
we'll be able to fix everything.
We'll be able to save your father.
Save Valen.
Save these kids
from their terrible fate.
I'm sorry. I don't
want any of this to happen.
I don't want this.
Dad, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You did nothing wrong.
It's not your fault at all.
It's the price
I have to pay for my bad Karma.
Kong
There's something
that you must know.
In 1964,
people believed
that the American soldiers detained
and tortured
prisoners for military intelligence.
Lawan!
Stop it! Please!
But in fact,
the Ramasun Army Camp was built
as a facility for
an experiment in time-travel.
Get up!
Lawan was a daughter of a Laotian general.
She was highly educated
and knew their language.
She also knew how to use
the device built by the Americans.
As for me, I was just a lowly driver
who couldn't help her.
When Lawan and I
were forced into the experiment,
we planned to steal
the Taklee Genesis machine
and flee this evil camp.
Walk!
I can't breathe!
Hurry up! Go!
Run away!
Don't shoot or I'll blow his head off!
In the end, we both escaped the Americans
and fell down in Don Hai
in the year 1969.
The Taklee Genesis created a force field
that distorted objects and time.
But somehow, it also saved Lawan's life.
I hoped that one day
she'd return to become her normal self.
The Vietnam War,
which has been fought for over 19 years,
has come to an end.
The American troops will
soon pull out of Southeast Asia
and return to where they came from.
Finally.
Since Lawan could not leave Don Hai,
she told me to start a new life.
I decided to leave to
find a way to cure her.
But soon I found out that
the war hadn't actually ended,
and the time portal was still used
to cover up a massacre.
All this time,
I've been telling you
that what happened to you
was an accident.
But in truth,
I just wanted you to forget
the horrifying past that happened to you.
Really, Dad
who am I?
You and Lawan
are the reason
that I have to remain in Don Hai
in order to
protect the magic ring
from bad guys.
What should I do now?
Now you are free.
When La comes back,
you can do whatever you want.
Anything that you wish.
But La's not coming back, Dad.
She is.
Kong,
can you take me to Lawan?
Sure, Dad.
Do you think we can pull it off?
There's a possibility.
But we'll have to prepare
for the risks that will surely follow.
We've already taken all kinds of risks.
Except for
our brothers and sisters in arms,
we have nothing else to lose.
Are we back in the present?
We'll teach you how
to control the Warpball.
But while you're using it,
the sphere of time that protects
you from the missiles will be deactivated,
and you'll risk being hit.
It happened when we went
to get the Gravity Control ring,
and we don't want
the same thing to happen to you.
Then what do we have to do?
Pull the tarp.
Don't you have any less scary beasts?
No, we don't.
Everything else was hunted to extinction
by this animal ten years ago.
Ready?
The Bracelet's here.
Now put your hand over it.
Your thumb controls the time.
The index finger controls the latitude.
Mike, this is Chart. Stand by.
Alert us if
the missiles start gaining speed,
so we can get ready for evacuation.
Copy that.
Start the experiment.
We'll transport a creature from the future
to the Amazon jungle 75 million years ago,
then bring it back
here again in 30 seconds.
We did it!
Not yet.
Not until it comes back here.
Mike, this is Chart.
The missiles are moving.
Wait.
How come the creature was sent there?
- Where?
- Ramasun Military Camp, year 2033.
Do something!
Mike, this is Chart.
The missiles are coming in hard.
But the Iron Dome from
100 years ago is still working.
Where has it gone?
Guys, be careful.
Shit!
Get the Warpball.
Shoot it!
Shoot at it!
Come with me!
The kid?
Whoa!
- Kid!
- Run, now!
Let's go!
Mike, this is Chart.
The missiles are about to hit.
Evacuate everyone to the basement.
Chart, don't come down!
The dinosaur's on the loose!
What the fuck?
Chemical gas?
Kawaii!
The Capital is using
chemical weapons on us!
Hold your breath.
- Now what?
- Take everyone to the basement.
Cover your mouth.
I'll go help Kawaii.
Give me the Bracelet and the Warpball.
Why?
So we can find out what's happening.
You have to trust me.
Did you use all the five rings?
No. You only gave us four.
We had to use
our own Galactic Longitude ring.
That's why the Warpball returned
to 2033 to find the missing piece.
La,
activate the Warpball and get us out.
Now!
Hey!
Do it.
Ithi, distract it.
Michael,
on my cue.
- Now!
- Fire!
Mike!
You have to go up there.
The Capital is coming!
You can come with us.
Once we get the Galactic Longitude ring,
we can travel anywhere.
I'm not going anywhere.
Where else are we supposed to live?
Is there still a place for us out there?
I'm so tired.
It's been 68 years.
I want to end this struggle right here.
But I think
your friends would want you to live.
I've lived long enough.
If any of you want to go with them,
go ahead.
But if you choose to stay,
get your weapons ready.
We'll fight them together.
For Chart
and all our fallen brothers and sisters.
I can't leave them behind.
I will put an end to this,
and die with my friends if I might.
But Michael,
we still have a chance.
No, we haven't.
I'm sorry.
I've been lying to you.
We can't use the machine whenever we want.
Every time we activated it,
it created a causality breakdown.
- Causality breakdown?
- Yes.
That's why we don't age.
That's why dinosaurs
suddenly showed up here to kill us.
All because of causality breakdown.
All Udon residents
who still remain in the city
must evacuate from
the 15 km radius right now.
In 20 minutes,
the U.S. Army will launch a nuclear weapon
to exterminate the monster.
We have to leave.
If you cannot evacuate,
please find a shelter.
What's wrong?
May the sacred thing protect you.
Let's sit over there.
The Taklee Genesis machine
disrupted the rules of light-speed travel
and allowed people to
jump across space-time.
But in the end,
cosmic time was totally messed up,
the engine of the universe was destroyed
and finally collapsed.
I know it hurts.
The aliens' invention
destroyed their own civilization.
But you'll be okay.
It all happened before
the existence of our own universe.
But how come
Taklee Genesis showed up in our time?
There must be a reason.
You guys are so brilliant to
have reconstructed the machine.
Maybe your version of Taklee Genesis
could save all of us.
Do not give up!
This is the Quantum Entanglement ring.
I've upgraded it from the original.
It will rearrange the chaotic timelines
and bring back the chronological order.
What you're seeing now
are the ripples
created by time-travels.
The chronology of
the universe is disturbed
every time the machine is activated.
What about these yellow spots?
That's us.
We've been exposed
to the machine's radiation.
Valen.
Udon Thani, 2024
You must take this ring
and send out the signal
in order to reset the space-time order.
Do it from a place where
the signal can go out into space.
The place where you left
and where the machine was still working.
Ramasun Camp.
Yes. The last place
where the machine still functioned.
But
what will happen if we reset the universe?
Everything will go back
to where it was before the chaos.
Your past will stay intact,
but your future will be unknown.
I believe
this is the best way out for everyone.
Why's that?
You asked me
why the Taklee Genesis
showed up in our time?
It got me thinking
why did it have to be you guys
who came from a radar
station somewhere in the past?
Maybe
all of this means something.
Or maybe
we can save the universe.
I just want to save my family.
You're putting too much hope on me.
I know.
But someone told me
that hope gives our lives meaning.
So I always keep my hopes up.
Who told you that?
My grandma.
A long time ago.
You'd better hurry.
Maybe we'll meet again.
What are you doing?
I'll stay here.
These kids have no one to speak for them.
I'll help them
negotiate to avoid a bloodbath.
You should go.
You don't know how cruel The Capital is.
Adults in my time are
no different from yours.
I know the old
generation in this country well.
If you stay,
you might get stuck here forever.
That's fine.
I'm fed up with Don Hai anyway.
Let me stay.
I want to know what will happen next.
Besides,
I don't want this timeline
to end up like Ban Chiang.
You don't have to do this.
It's okay.
You can do it without me.
One more thing.
Use my notes to write
articles for The Twilight Realm.
Now go help Valen.
Kong,
where is your father?
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
Where's Ithi?
He's in the future, waiting for us.
We now have the Chronometer ring.
Is that the Galactic Longitude?
We have to use them to go get Valen,
then we will go back to 2023
to reset everything.
Why don't we time-travel
to the past and save everyone?
We can't do that.
The more we change the past,
the more chaotic the universe will become.
All we can do is
reset everything.
What about the people who were killed?
Can we bring them back to life?
Maybe.
But you have to come with me.
Uncle Tom has radioed Valen's coordinates.
Kong!
The US with the intelligence
from electronic equipment
from the army.
So the US knows about the movement
What're you doing?
I have to go help my kid!
I have to go help someone too.
They can probably tell me who I really am.
But it's dangerous.
Listen, after I've helped my friend,
I'll return the Warpball to you. Okay?
Run!
Hurry!
Pan!
Where have you been?
Kong!
DICTATOR
WE WANT CONSTITUTION
That electronic equipment
is from the headquarters.
So the US knows about the movement
So the US knows
about the movement of the army
- Pan, come with me.
- Wait.
You come with me.
Pan!
What? What the hell is that?
Pan! Pan!
Pan!
Get out of there!
Pan!
- Mommy!
- Mordin!
No!
No!
Hey!
Why are you still here?
He wants to stay and help.
Take it.
Kong, stop using the Warpball.
It'll distort the timelines even further.
By the intelligence
- Hey!
- Pan!
- Where've you been?
- Run!
- Pan, this way!
- No! No!
Go to the river if you want to live!
- How do you know?
- Trust me!
What?
What the hell is that?
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
If you want me to consider
The government is not stable enough
to make the US
trust us.
What is The Capital babbling about?
No, it's not them.
It's a radio broadcast
during the student massacre.
Student massacre?
Hey!
There!
Get down!
Fire!
Everybody, run!
I'll be right back.
Be careful.
You alright?
Quick!
Are you alright?
RUTHLESSNESS IS THE NATURE
OF THE RULING CLASS
Slowly.
There they are!
Get over here!
Come out! Now!
You brat!
Boss!
All of you! Now!
Come out now!
Come out, you brat!
I'm sorry, La.
About what?
You have to come with me.
I'll stay.
This is where I came from.
Take it.
Hold on.
Make sure we're not forgotten.
Don't forget me, La.
Now get out of here.
Valen!
Mommy!
- Valen!
- Mommy!
Valen!
I'm sorry I left you.
Mommy, I can take care of myself.
I'm not your burden anymore.
You were never my burden, Sweetie.
Mordin
- Get over here.
- No, Mordin.
Come here.
Mordin.
Mordin!
Mordin!
Mordin!
Mommy!
Are you alright?
You have to help me.
Turn on the machine. I know you can do it.
Are you okay?
I'm good. Just go.
Hurry up.
Mommy,
I've turned on the machine.
But it's booting.
La.
La, can you see me?
I'm right here.
La.
Mom.
Is this real?
Mom, I'm sorry.
I'm a failure.
I've lost everyone.
Who said you're a failure?
You've found your way here to see me.
You've made it this far.
Don't cry.
Now you've come to the point
where you have to choose a new beginning.
Will I see Valen again?
How long do I have to be here?
Or maybe I'm already dead?
How can Valen live without me?
La,
don't believe everything your dad said.
We're just tiny
dots in this vast universe.
But where there is love,
every little thing does matter.
No matter how small it is.
That's the meaning of our existence.
A new time is about to begin.
No matter which Genesis you choose,
remember that
it will await you in the future.
Good luck, La.
We made it.
It works.
May you have a bright future.
You!
Mommy!
Mommy!
Valen!
Are you okay?
What's wrong, Mommy?
I just had a bad dream.
No, you didn't have a bad dream.
Where did you get it from?
From my friend.
Mom.
La,
what's wrong, dear?
What is it?
Don't cry, good girl.
I'm sorry I couldn't bring Dad back.
It's alright, my dear.
Your dad is only taking a little trip.
I dreamt about him last night, you know.
In the dream,
all three of us are together.
But I'm a tree.
And your father is the sky.
Weird, isn't it?
Now, now.
Don't cry.
It's alright, La.
My good girl mustn't cry.
You look ugly when you cry.
Everything is fine.
Who'd have thought that my
daydream would take me this far?
This record of my
adventure may sound incredible,
but at least all of
you should find it entertaining.
But for those of
you who believe in my story,
I hope you'll find it useful.
Thank you for keeping hope alive,
because hope always
gives our lives meaning.
Do you think I should plant a tree here?
You can clearly see the sky from here.
That's good, Mom.
Mommy.
Mordin has written his diary today.
Hi, I'm Mordin.
That's a good start.
Mommy,
will we ever see Teacher Ithi again?
