Thank you.

Today, I got a client to give you
a modeling gig for designer clothes.
Look, Dao. Isn't it beautiful?
I'm sure you'll like it.
It's perfect for you.
- I like it. [chuckles]
- Okay.

- Hey, I saw the powder that Dao reviewed.
- [girl 1] Yeah?
- I do want to try it.
But with our looks,
how much powder would we need?
How many layers of it would be enough?
Well, look in the mirror.
Here's a mirror
for you to look at yourself in.
[girl 2] And?
I mean, look at our faces.
How can we compete with her?

[exclaims]
I'm beautiful now. Huh?
[screaming]
[wondrous music playing]
[girl] So beautiful.
Hey. Wait.
Why do you look prettier all of sudden?
- [Aim-Orn] Me?
- [girl] Yes, you, Aim-Orn.
How did you get prettier?
Can you please tell me?
[girl 2 whispers] So beautiful.
[girl 3] Can I get a selfie?
- [camera clicking]
- Look at her. So beautiful. So photogenic.
- [girl 4] Let's get a selfie.
- [girl 5] So beautiful.
She's beautiful.
I have to go.
Sure.
[phone chiming]
Hello?
[agent on phone] Dao, we have
a photo shoot scheduled for next week.
I'll meet you there.
The shoot is at school?
[agent] Yes, I got permission
from the school director.
For distinguished alums like me,
it's no problem at all.
[laughs] I'm kidding.
I plan to do both your photo shoot
and the PR work
that the school director hired me to do.
- I'll do both at once.
- I see.
[agent] Dao, hold on.
- Yes?
- [agent] I have a question.
I've heard that there's
a new student at school.
She's quite pretty, right?
Her name's Aim-Orn, right?
Listen, I should go now.
I have to go to my class.
[sighs]
NARINKARUNA BUILDING,
BENJADARASUKSA SCHOOL
- [phone pinging]
- [Dao] What the hell?
How come she has more followers than me
after just one week?
[pensive music playing]
Damn.
[girl on phone] Tell me what you did.
I want to be beautiful too.
[Aim-Orn] I already said
that I can't tell you.
How many times do I have to say it?
I made a promise to them.
[girl] Come on. Please tell me.
[clicks tongue] You don't understand.
Just thinking about telling you
Shit, I already feel like
[breathing heavily]
like some weird shit is going on.
[girl] Like what?
[Aim-Orn] Shit. [gasps]
They know. Shit.
You shouldn't have asked me.
- [girl] Hey, wait! Don't
- [disconnects call]
[breathing heavily]
[tense music playing]
Hey.
Have you seen Aim-Orn?
Hold on. Let me check.
[breathing heavily]
[exhales]
[breathes shakily]
[lights flickering]
[suspenseful music playing]
[whimpers]
[breathing heavily]
[breathing frantically]
Well, her latest photo looks like
it was taken in a bathroom here.
Here.
See the mirror?
That looks just like a school bathroom.
So So you
you follow Aim-Orn too?
Yeah, of course.
Everyone at our school does.
[chuckles softly]
[thrilling music playing]

[blood squirting]
[gasping]
[gasps]
What the hell?
She's been so jumpy since she got pretty.
Yeah.
I wouldn't mind being jumpy
if it meant I got to be pretty.
By the way, someone asked Aim-Orn
what she did to get so much prettier.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
Well, what did she do?
I want to be beautiful too.
I have no clue.
She wouldn't answer, no matter what.
Could it be a ghost remedy?
Only ghosts can answer that.
- That's crazy.
- People don't know their secrets.
- [laughs]
- You're crazy.
- [girl 1] Hey.
- [girl 2] What?
Have you seen Aim-Orn?
- [girls] Uh
- [Dao] Well?
- [tsks] Didn't you see her leave?
- Yeah.
You're useless.
[girl] What?
[door slams]
[door opens]
[door creaking]
[suspicious music playing]
[Aim-Orn exhales]
[ominous music plays]
[music intensifies]
- Dao.
- [gasps]
What are you up to?
Nothing, ma'am.
- [door opens]
- [ominous music plays]
Aim. Aim.
Can I talk to you?
So, you want to sign a contract
with an agency, right?
- I can give you some advice.
- You can help me, Dao?
Of course.
What a strange question.
Thanks.
By the way, can I ask you something?
What did you do to get prettier?
Well
I can't tell you. Sorry.
Why not, Aim?
Please tell me. Please?
I I had cosmetic surgery.
That's not true.
What sort of surgery
could your face recover from overnight?
Even if that were possible,
you wouldn't be able to afford it.
[unsettling music playing]
I really can't tell you.
I made a promise to them.
It's too risky.
Aim.
We'll keep it between the two of us.
I won't tell anyone.
It's too hard to believe.
No matter how unbelievable it is,
it happened, didn't it?
Look at you.
[inhales sharply]
[tsks] Aim.
Are you hiding something?
- Are you hiding something here?
- [Aim-Orn] Dao, there's nothing in here.
[Dao] Then just tell me the truth.
- [Aim-Orn] Dao, let go.
- [Dao] Why keep secrets?
I heard a rumor.
It's a ghost remedy, right?
That's why you can't tell me.
[Dao yelps]
Leave me alone.
[Dao breathes shakily]
You ripped my nail.
Crazy bitch!
[suspenseful music playing]
[keys jangling]
- [breathing heavily]
- [keys jangling]
[man] How come she's prettier?
[switch clicking]
[sighs]
[breathes deeply]
[slurping]
[exhales]
Mmm.
[breathing heavily]
[woman] Dao.
What are you up to?
[Dao] Nothing, ma'am.

[nurse] No, Dao!
You can't do that, sweetie.
Here. Press this on your wound.
[teacher] Ma'am, I'm so sorry
that you and Dao will get home late today.
[Dao's Mom]
It's all right. These things happen.
Are you coming? The mall is still open.
I want to buy more foundation and serum.
Are you coming?
Wait, Dao!

BENJADARASUKSA SCHOOL
[photographer] Okay. Smile a little.
Right. Great. Very good.
- [camera clicking]
- This is the last set.
Three, two Very nice.
Show your teeth a bit when you smile.
All right.
- [clicking]
- Mmm. Turn to the other side a bit.
- [clicking]
- Great.
Does the school need any more?
Well, we should have enough pictures.
Dao's one of the best in the business.
They'll want to use all her pictures.
She's done photo shoots
since middle school,
and now she's about to graduate.
OUTSTANDING STUDENTS, QUALITY CURRICULUM
- [agent] Thanks for your time today, Dao.
- No problem.
Excuse me.
Uh, would you mind
retouching my finger a bit?
You see,
I got bitten by a dog.
You know, something like this
really shouldn't happen
to a professional model.
[laughing] Come on. I'm just joking.
Of course I can do it for you.
The look on your face [laughs]
- I'm sorry, sweetie.
- It's okay.
[agent] Dao's friend is beautiful too.
[chuckles]
Now that we're done with Dao's shoot,
could you give us a little more time?
I want to create a profile for a girl
to submit to the agency.
Mmm, yes, of course.
But who might that be?
- Could it be
- Yes.
[both] Aim.
[teacher] That's good.
[contemplative music playing]
- [agent] Smile like you do naturally.
- Okay.
[camera clicking]
[photographer] That's good.
Just smile. Yes. Very good.
Relax, sweetie.
- Okay.
- [agent] Aim, I want to make you a star.
- I'll help you sign a contract.
- Okay.
[photographer] Okay.
Turn to the left a little bit.
- [camera clicking]
- Yes. Good.
Sweetie?
- [photographer] Hello?
- [teacher] Aim.
- This way.
- [chuckling] Okay.
[photographer] Look at the camera.
- Smile.
- [agent] Good.
Try a welcoming smile.
Okay, great.
[agent] You look very cute.
[photographer] Nice.
[huffs in anger]
[breathing heavily]
[girl] Hey, don't you think Aim-Orn looks
more beautiful lately?
- Let's watch Aim-Orn's photo shoot.
- I'll come with you.
I think Aim-Orn will be a big star.
She's just so beautiful.
Yeah, I agree.
Bigger than Dao for sure.
[breathing heavily]
[suspicious music playing]
[object clatters]
Dao, what are you doing?
Are you going through Aim's things?
Did you find her beauty secret?
Let me know when you do.
[dramatic music plays]
What?
What do you mean by that?
Hey, you're being too harsh.
Look, I'm just kidding.
I heard that everyone says that about you.
You've been weird lately.
[shrieking outside]
[girl] Hey, what's going on?
Let's take a look. Let's go.
[tsks] Let's just go.
[tsks] You're such a pain.
[ominous music plays]
[flies buzzing]
[unsettling music playing]
[door opens]
- [door closes]
- [liquid dripping]
Wait, sweetie. What do you have in there?
Don't you see it's dripping everywhere?
I'm sorry.
[door opens]
[suspicious music playing]
[Dao] I'd like to rent this room.
Okay.
Hey, guard!
Hurry and get a mop to clean this up!
Don't just stand there!
[guard] Yes, ma'am!
Damn.
[sighs]
[sighs in frustration]
[exhales]
[objects clattering]
What the hell?
She threw away perfectly good food.
[scoffs] Psycho bitch.
[Aim-Orn breathing heavily]
[Aim-Orn] I'm not feeling well.
I'm going to sign up with an agency soon.
I'm so freaking happy.
[inhales sharply]
My dream has almost come true.
How did I get pretty?
Sometimes, I'm not sure
if the beauty I got is worth it.
But I'm getting used to it.
Yeah.
I'll go get something to eat.
Yeah.
A takeout.
[suspenseful music playing]
[gasps]
[scratching]
[thudding]
- [scratching]
- [Dao gasps]
[loud thud]
[frantic music playing]
What the hell is up with her?
[breathing heavily]
[door creaking open]
[eerie whoosh]
[door closes]
[sniffing]
[humming]
[humming]
[guard] What's wrong, sweetie?
Why are you lying here?
You must be drunk.
[screaming] Shit!
[whimpering]
- [doorknob rattling]
- Come on, open!
[whimpering]
[screaming in fear]
[birds chirping]
[door creaking open]
[door closes]
[knocking on door]
PLEASE STOP TRYING.
YOU SHOULDN'T KNOW. I'M WARNING YOU.
"Please stop trying."
"You shouldn't know."
"I'm warning you."
PLEASE STOP TRYING.
YOU SHOULDN'T KNOW. I'M WARNING YOU.
[frantic music playing]
[breathing heavily]
[clicking]
[tense music playing]
Hey!
Dao.
Look at it!
See how badly this bitch insulted me.
Her true personality is freaking nasty,
but she pretends to be shy.
Why did you write
such things to insult Dao?
Isn't it her right
to choose whether to tell anyone?
- [girl 1] Hey!
- [girl 2] Hey!
- Dao!
- Wait!
Wait. Stop it. Enough.
- Hey!
- Stop it.
- Just let her go.
- Enough.
- [teacher] Stop, all of you.
- [Dao panting]
And the two of you,
come to my office and calm down.
Let me remind you
that you two are the faces of our school.
Whatever you do,
don't let it ruin our image, all right?
As for you, Aim-Orn,
the alumna who's with the agency
is coming to sign you up tomorrow.
You should be mindful of your behavior.
It's your dream, isn't it?
Going forward, if there's a problem,
just talk about it nicely.
You're classmates.
Figure things out together.
MODEL SCHOOL, OUTSTANDING STUDENTS,
QUALITY CURRICULUM
[door opens, closes]
You shouldn't stalk me, Dao.
You're the one
who almost ruined everything,
not me.
Why do you say that?
You're the one who always started it.
Then just tell me
what you did to get pretty.
Why is that so hard?
I can't do that, Dao.
I already told you that it's a curse.
If I tell you
I'll lose everything.
I'd never let that happen.
[scoffs]
If you don't tell me
you'll lose the chance
to sign a contract for sure.
[dark music playing]
[flies buzzing]
[Aim-Orn breathing shakily]
[exhales]
[breathing deeply]
[Dao] Think about it.
If I send this video to the agency,
will they still want to sign
a freak like you?
[breathing heavily]
Can you promise me
that you'll keep everything secret?
[snickers]
[clicks tongue]
So now you can tell me?
What about this stupid curse?
Is it gone now?
The curse hasn't changed.
[inhales sharply] I still can't tell you.
But I'll show you
what I have to become
and how I earn what I have today.
Then you might change your mind.
[snickers]
You underestimate me.
[snickers]
[suspenseful music playing]
Hurry up!
About the dead cat
I ate it.
I'll go get something to eat.
Yeah.
A takeout.
Bye for now.
Well,
if that's a condition of the curse
I understand
that it might be difficult.
But if you can do it,
well, so can I.
Well, open it.
[exhales]
[keys jingling]
[door unlocks]
Shit!
It freaking stinks.
This rotten odor
has become a pleasant smell to me.
Really?
It isn't so bad, then.
In fact,
it will make my life easier.
Well, go inside.
Get in.
[sighs]
[clicks tongue]
You're actually much worse than I thought.
[exhales sharply]
[phone beeps]
Where is the secret?
If you don't tell me
I'll share this video
and show the whole world
that the state of your room
and the way you look
are complete opposites.
[Aim-Orn] It started with me
wanting to be beautiful like you.
Now, every night,
I have to eat rotten things,
like what you saw.
I can see that, obviously.
It's all over the room.
[exhales sharply]
Are there other conditions?
[Aim-Orn] Yes, there are.
[breathing heavily]
You can't tell anyone the secret.
I already know that.
You keep repeating that. It's so annoying.
Keeping it a secret is good, though,
because I don't want anyone
to be prettier than me.
There are more conditions, Dao.
They're written on the label
of the drink you're looking for.
[ominous music playing]
I messed up.
I drank it without reading the label.
[keyboard clacking]
"Penanggalan."
What is it?
Point to it.
Tell me where it is.
Tell me now.
Tell me now!
Where is it?
Why the hell won't you tell me?
Where is it?
Just point to where it is.
[breathing heavily]
Why the hell won't you tell me? Tell me.
[breathing heavily]
Where is it?
[ominous music playing]
[labored breathing]
[coughs, gasps]
[wheezing]
[Dao] Did you fall?
Is that what I hear every night? [sighs]
Do you go crazy every night, you psycho?
[Aim-Orn wheezing, coughing]
[gasps, grunts]
[wheezing]
[coughing, wheezing]
Are you really coughing?
I thought you were throwing up
to try to lose weight.
[gasps, grunts]
[coughs]
[Dao] There you go again.
[wheezing, groaning]
[continues wheezing]
[coughing]
[coughing, wheezing]
Do I just drink it?
[scratching]
[grunting]
You freaky bitch.
[scratching]
[sighs]
[Aim-Orn breathing heavily]
- Here we go.
- [Aim-Orn coughs]
To become more beautiful,
I'm willing to do anything.
[scratching]
Let's see
how beautiful I'll be.
[Aim-Orn wheezing and coughing]
[gulping]
[Aim-Orn gasping]
[breathing heavily]
[groaning]
[whimpering]
[ominous music plays]
[exhales]
Let's see [inhales]
if it works in a heartbeat.
[somber music playing]
[gasps] Let me see.
[squelching]
[tense music playing]
[gasps in fear]
What the fuck are you?
[gasps in fear]
What did you give me to drink?
You drank it, right?
Now I can tell you the secret.
What you just drank
WHAT IS PENANGGALAN?
was our saliva.
KRASUE, A FLESH-EATING SPIRI
[gasps in fear]
[gasps in fear]
[whimpers]
Did you
Did you kill people
then eat their raw flesh?
No.
I don't eat it right away.
It has to rot nicely first.
- [sobbing]
- [Aim-Orn] From now on,
your nose will tell you
what you can eat
and what you can't.
[breathing heavily]
[flies buzzing]
[ominous music playing]
[breathing heavily]
[knocking on door]
Hey, sweetheart.
What are you doing in there so loudly?
Why is it louder than usual
in there today?
- [knocking continues]
- Sweetie.
I smell a baby.
[heart beating]
Sweetie.
[frantic music playing]
[music continues]
