Folklore (2018) s02e03 Episode Script

1
The frontal bone from a human skull
of someone who died a violent death
under the moonlight
is believed to protect the wearer
from evil influence.
Get it inscribed and it'll ward off
evil spirits and bad luck.
This item was made by a holy master.
Master Guy Bangyai.
Have you heard of him?
Last month, I was eating at a restaurant
when a fight broke out at the next table.
It all happened in a split second.
There was a gun fight. Bang bang!
One of them pointed a gun at me.
At that moment
I thought I would die for sure
but the bullet veered off
and missed me just by an inch!
As if there was an invisible hand warding it off.
-No way that happened. -I kid you not, sir.
It happened right before my eyes.
I'm telling you, this amulet is dope.
For best effect
you have to believe in its powers.
You have to chant the prayers twice a day
once in the morning and once in the evening
and it'll protect you from harm.
Let's see if it keeps you safe this time.
What's in the back of your truck?
It's just fish, sir.
You can open it and see for yourself.
Good stuff from Uthaithani, sir.
Where are you heading to?
Why are you working at this hour?
I have to get this to Talad Thai wet market
before 4.00am.
My boss will chew my head off if I'm late.
I mean it, sir.
All right, you may go.
Thank you, sir.
Hello.
All sorted?
That was perfect timing.
Thanks a lot, Aed.
See you at my place.
This amulet really works.
-Grab that. -OK.
Take all the fish out.
She's pretty young.
Looks to be around Jern's age.
Shut your trap, you twerp.
Or I'll do it for you.
Just yanking your chain.
Well, I'm dead serious here.
Hey.
You said you'd pay me more this time
I know. I'll pay you the balance
after we deliver this to Master Guy
and close the deal.
Perfectly packed and preserved.
I know Ku won't let me down.
OK, Master.
So I'll carry this over to your car?
No, not tonight.
The auspicious date is three days from now.
T-T-Three days?
But, Master
that's not what we agreed on!
This is too risky for me!
Here.
Now stop whining.
I have VIPs coming to my place everyday.
That's why I need to leave this here.
The way the economy is these days
I can always hire someone cheaper to do this.
If you're not happy with this arrangement
-I'll go to Toh instead. -Come on.
I was just joking.
And you know I do a better job than Toh.
Get something to cover it.
Don't let anyone touch it.
You know you can count on me, Master.
Dad, did you just get home?
Jern.
Why are you still up?
You've been coming home late every day.
I was out working.
I wasn't out having fun.
Are you in any pain?
Then why are you awake? Go back to sleep.
OK? Lie down and sleep.
-Hello. -Hey.
(Mandarin) Come this way
Welcome welcome!
Yeah come here.
China?
Here
This is an eyeball from a dead body.
Yes it will give you the third eye.
Very good for your business.
No?
No! What about this?
This is a frontal bone.
This is called Pun-Nheng.
The same as mine.
Even a gunshot won't be able to kill you.
(Mandarin)
She said that's not what she wants.
I know. I know what you want.
Here.
Love potion.
This is oil from the pussy of a dead woman.
The men around you will love you!
Only you!
Thank you.
Hi, Doctor.
Hi, Manop.
I'm glad to hear that
they've finally set a date for the operation.
Yes, sir.
You can issue him an advance invoice.
Sure, Doctor.
As you know
leukaemia treatment is rather costly.
I understand, Doctor.
No problem, I've got it.
See you then.
-See you. -Bye.
I know, but can you rush him for me?
Please. I'm in need of money.
Hell, maybe I should go on this singing contest.
I think I'll crack it.
Jern.
Jern!
What?
I'm trying to have a conversation with you.
You're spending too much time on your phone.
You should be studying.
Look, you're not well enough to go to school
but that doesn't mean you don't study at all.
What do you want me to say?
I'm so sick of this show. I can't stand it.
Come on, it's awesome.
They're making their dreams come true.
Look. I think if I joined the show
You wish.
You're such a wet blanket.
Aed.
Not yet.
I told you to wait.
Yes. Three days. I'll wire you your share
when I get the money.
You know I don't have it now!
What do you expect me to do?
He'll definitely pay us.
What?
Come on! Have I ever bailed on you?
Sheesh
Where are you going?
Don't ask.
You're going gambling again?
Can't you just let me be?
I'm doing all I can to pay for your treatment.
It's a lot of money.
How else could I get that much money?
You're addicted!
Don't you dare pin this on me!
Have you even thought about
how much money you've lost?
The money you've gambled away
would have paid for ten operations.
Dad.
Hey, Manop.
You lost big time again tonight.
When are you ever gonna pay off your debt?
Patience, sir.
I'll be getting paid in three days.
-Three days? -Yes.
That's too long.
But I don't have a single dollar on me right now.
Yeah, right. As if I'd believe that.
You will cough up what you owe us.
But my daughter is going for an operation soon.
That's not my problem.
Please, sir.
So tomorrow?
I'll send someone to your shop.
-OK. -You hear me?
This way, sir.
Jern.
Jern?
Jern?
Jern?
Let's see what you can do now.
Hello.
Hey, Mr Nu just called.
All right.
Hello.
Will you just relax?
I told you I'll pay you in two days.
He said tomorrow night.
So, any confirmation?
Tomorrow night?
Cash on delivery.
I really need the money, Master.
Yes.
Yes.
Doctor, can I pay in instalments?
Yes, right.
Yes, right. The operation is in three days.
I have to pay the full sum upfront?
All right. I got it.
Hi Ko, it's me.
I have a great bargain for you.
The whole collection, going cheap.
Sure! I'll send you some photos.
What?
Of course I can bring them to you!
Mhai, man the shop for me.
If anyone asks for me, tell them I'm off today.
-Hey, is Manop here? -No.
Jern Jern!
Jern.
Jern. What happened?
Dad.
What have you done?
What do you mean? I didn't do anything.
You didn't do anything?
You think I don't know
what's in the lumber room?
It's my job.
-Jern -What?
Put this on.
-What? -Wear it.
-No! -Wear this and you'll be safe.
-No! -Jern, put it on!
Don't be such an idiot, Dad!
This is just a piece of junk, it doesn't work!
I said, wear it!
Jern
I'm sorry.
Please wear it.
Just two more days
and we'll have the money for your operation.
Jern.
Home
I want to go home
Jern?
-Hello. -Master, I'm in trouble.
The ghost of the dead girl
has possessed my daughter!
Hey. Calm down.
Don't tell me to calm the hell down!
This ghost is so vengeful!
The shit you gave me doesn't bloody work!
Come help me now.
Is your daughter wearing any of the amulets?
I tried to make her wear
the frontal bone amulet, but she refused.
Do you still have that metal Buddha pendant
from Father Pern?
Put that on your daughter.
Father Pern
Say "Namo Amitābha" three times
and then repeat after me.
(Chanting)
(Chanting)

(Chanting)
Remember this.
Don't blame my talismans
for your incompetence.
I know you're in need of money.
Be patient. I'll pay you extra.
OK.
Aed.
Can you check something for me?
Good morning, sweetheart.
You should rest more.
Take the body back.
-Jern -Do it or I'm not talking to you!
And I'm not going for the operation!
I wish you wouldn't be so hard on me.
I've tried so hard to
Dad! Did you think about her parents?
How would you feel if that girl were me?
Hello.
Give me a second.
Are you hiding from me?
You think you could mess with me?
That pathetic sum of money you owe us
is gonna cost you your life.
Calm down. I've been having
some trouble at home.
I'll pay up tomorrow
I'm done with your excuses.
I'll see you at your shop today.
Wait Mr Nu!
Mr Nu?
What now?
The ritual will start at midnight.
Be here at 10.00pm.
Jern, it's all sorted out.
Tonight, I'll
Jern! Jern!
Jern Jern!
Jern, what's wrong? Jern?
Jern Jern!
It's me!
Jern Jern!
Jern
The girl was gang-raped by three men
who killed her and dumped her body
in a swamp in her neighbourhood.
Master Guy's client will be copulating
with the dead girl in tonight's ritual.
-He'll be banging the dead girl? -Yeah.
It's part of the ritual
to fortify a politician's standing and influence.
Those bastards won't even let her rest in peace.
-They should burn in hell. -Hey.
Hey, are you sure about this?
Master Guy can't help me
so I've gotta help myself.
But what about my cut of the money?
I have no choice here, Aed.
I'll figure out some way to pay you.
Don't worry.
Hi.
Well
I've brought your daughter back.
But we've already spent the money.
What do you mean?
We can't return you the money.
Didn't they steal her body from you?
You sold your dead daughter's body?
How could you do that to her?
She was your child!
Your own daughter!
She was raped and killed!
And you sent her to be raped again!
How could you do this to her?
What the hell is wrong with you?
She's dead and that's that!
This is not gonna make a difference to her!
We're alive and struggling.
We're the ones suffering!
But she wants to come home.
She wants to come home!
Can you friggin' understand that?
What's going on?
I ask the questions here.
What's going on?
You really thought you managed to outwit me
and sneak the dead body through?
They bought off the police, you fool.
Get it to Master Guy's before midnight.
-Go! -Yes, sir.
How could they sell their little girl?
Her ghost tormented me because
you got paid to ferry her body.
You sold your little girl out for money too.
I tried, Jern.
If we were rich
I would never have done this.
Right, we're poor.
I have no choice because you need money.
She has no choice but to possess me.
We're doing this to each other
because we're poor, right?
Hey, Manop.
You made a huge mistake
not showing up at your shop today.
I don't have the money.
Do whatever you want.
I'm gonna kill you. Don't you
Hold on

This way please, sir.
Clean that up.
Yes, sir.
