01x05 - Episode 5

[bunniefuu]

Because of that damn ghost,
everyone thinks I'm crazy.

Because I can't contact anyone else.

I need your help.

You have to help me!

I have a job for you.
Find Sarai's family treasure.

Keep this with you.

That woman's spirit
won't be able to come near you.

I'm interested
in the plot of land next to yours.

I'm scared!

Please help me.

Please don't be scared of me.

I'm scared. I'm scared.

No. No. Stay away!

Hey. Sir.

Sir.

Sir.

Sir!

Sir. Sir.

Sir.

Are you alright?

It's here.

-What?
-It's here.

Sir. Sir.

Look ahead. Look ahead.

Don't turn around.
The moment you turn around, you die.

Don't turn around.

Why are you suddenly
interested in Sompong?

He says strange things all the time,

like he's terrified of something.

GENEROSITY, VIRTUE, MEDITATION,
WISDOM, AND PERFECTION

I just want to know why he lost his mind.

You've been here a long time,

so I thought you might know something.

Everything comes from karma.

Sompong is simply receiving
the consequences

of what he has done.

And…

Oh, you came to make merit too?

I just stopped by to talk with him.

Are you here to offer alms?

-Let me offer these first.
-Of course.

Some of us

try our hardest to preserve nature.

But other people

only think about exploiting it for profit.

It's awful.

Yesterday,

someone came wanting to buy
the land next to my house.

He probably saw the scenery around there
and figured it could make money.

I don't think he only wants
the land beside your house.

He probably wants your property too,

since it's all one connected plot.

That's what I thought.

So I rejected him immediately.

Actually, Mr. Narathon,

I talked with my wife
about the aquarium project,

she said it might be too ambitious.

So I'd like

to offer the land beside my house

to you to expand
your rare marine breeding project.

Really?

Of course.

I think your current place
feels too cramped anyway.

Are you interested?

Of course.

I'm very interested.

Actually, I've wanted to expand too,

but like you said,
my current place is too small.

Then let's work on this project together.

Of course.

It smells amazing, Mom.
Looks delicious too.

That good?

Let me help serve it.

It's alright.

Dad should be back from the temple soon.
Are you hungry?

It's alright.
I'd rather wait for Dad and eat together.

Alright.

Who could that be this early?

I'll check, Mom.

Okay.

Mr. Phum.

It's you.

You live here?

Yes. This is my parents' house.

Oh, it's you.

Hello.

Hello.

Mom, you know Mr. Phum too?

I never imagined

you were the one who bought
all of Mook's photographs.

Thank you so much.

No need to thank me.

Kaimook's work has value

because she devoted herself to it,
diving deep beneath the sea.

Not everyone can do that.

And once I learned
she planned to use the money

to support marine conservation,

I wanted to support her even more.

Nature can't survive
unless we work together to protect it.

I wish her father could hear that.

Then he wouldn't misunderstand you.

Why, Mom?

Mr. Phum came wanting
to buy the land beside our house.

Your father was worried he might use it
for something harmful to nature.

Dad is very against
environmental destruction.

So what do you want
the land for, Mr. Phum?

I want to build an eco-resort.

A place that encourages tourists

to respect nature and the environment.

That sounds interesting.

Then perhaps you could help
speak to your father for me.

I doubt that'll work.

No matter what,
I'm not selling you that land.

I hope

you'll reconsider carefully.

I have a very attractive offer.

Really?

Well unfortunately, I've already decided

to work with Mr. Narathon
on a rare marine breeding project.

Mr. Narathon

is exactly the kind of young man

society should admire.

Is that so?

Yes. Because he only wants

to preserve nature and the environment.

He doesn't think
only about profit and destruction,

unlike some people.

Well, Mr. Narathon, please have a seat.

You're certainly persistent,
Mr. Phum, coming here this early.

I live by one principle.
Where there's a will,

there's a way.

Then perhaps
you should find a new principle.

Because it won't work.

It's alright.
As much as I regret losing this land,

at least you trust Narathon enough

to let him work on the project he loves.

Expanding his rare marine breeding project

has always been his dream.

I don't get it, but my son gets it.
That isn't such a bad balance after all.

Wait, you didn't know?

Narathon is my son.

My only son, actually.

Are you satisfied now, Dad?

What did I do?

Trying to make Mr. Mek know
that you're my father.

Am I not your father?

You know how I feel about you.

I never even wanted anyone
to know I'm your son.

Yes.

I know you don't accept
or respect me as your father.

Honestly, I don't want to force you
to feel anything.

Unfortunately, I can't resign
from being your father.

Should I apologize to you too?

For bringing you into this world,

raising you well,

until you're now telling me that you
don't want anyone to know I'm your father?

Take good care of your project.

The moment you fail,
I'll come back and take this land.

No matter what,

money still matters to you
more than people's feelings.

Mr. Thon,

there's something I want to ask you.

No matter what obstacles I face,

I will make that land mine.

Why do you want my land so badly?

Is it because of this place?

Is that why you sent people to k*ll me?

You k*lled me, didn't you? Mr. Phum!

You probably want to ask why I didn't
tell you he was my father

when I saw him earlier, right?

Why would you need to tell me?
I don't care

whose son you are or who your father is.

You said you had something to ask me.

I wanted to ask about
the curse of Skull Island.

You still haven't told me about it.

But it's a long story.

It's mysterious,

terrifying, thrilling, and scary.

Enough.

Even if it's horrifying enough
to make my hair stand on end,

I'll listen.

You're not scared?

I'm not scared. Will you tell me now?

Not yet.

You can't hear

a story like this just anywhere.
You think I'll tell it for free?

I haven't eaten anything
since this morning.

If I told it while we ate,

it would be much more enjoyable.

Are you planning the fish breeding farm?

Are you going to start right away?

I'm thinking of
putting this project on hold for now.

What? Why?

Don't tell me

it's because Mr. Narathon
is Mr. Phum's son

and now you don't trust him.

That's exactly the point.

But didn't you say
Mr. Narathon was a good man?

That was before I knew he was Phum's son.

Have you ever heard the saying,

"The apple
doesn't fall far from the tree"?

Aren't you being too biased
against Mr. Phum?

I will never let businessmen like Phum

exploit nature for profit

on land that belongs to me.

Everything looks delicious.

You're more generous than I thought.

So stop dragging this out.

Tell me now.

You expect me to just sit here
and stare at the food?

Eat while you tell me.

But seafood has to be peeled and cracked.

And the curse of Skull Island

is rather complicated.

I need to concentrate so I don't

miss any important parts.

Don't tell me
I have to peel everything for you too.

That would be ideal.

But it's alright.

I can peel it myself.

Okay, okay.

I'll peel it for you.

Well, I changed my mind.

I want to eat the crab first.

Start talking.

You know I want to know it.

Stop being so dramatic.

Once upon a time…

Hey, I'm not here for a fairy tale.

Alright.

Well,

the reason people believe
Skull Island is cursed

is because

most people who go near that area

either die

or disappear without a trace.

What were you doing?

I've been knocking for ages.

I was in a warm bath and fell asleep.
That's why I didn't hear you.

Is that all?

What did you think I was doing?

You thought I was hiding someone
in the bathroom?

No.

Why didn't you tell me
you were coming here?

Even without telling you,
you still managed to find me.

Mr. Phum.

Are you really going to ignore me?

I drove all this way.

Did I ask you to come?

Since you're already here,
make yourself at home. I'll get changed.

Mr. Phum.

Hey.

Are you sure you're peeling this
for me willingly?

Why?

Oh.

Look at it.

This crab was so big,

and you peeled it down to this size.

Where did all the meat go?

Well, I've never peeled crab
for anyone before.

You're lucky enough

to eat the crab I peeled for you.

Stop complaining and just eat it.

Ow!

See?

I knew this would happen.

What are you doing?

-I'll squeeze the blood out.
-That hurts.

Then stay still.

I'll squeeze the blood out. It's dirty.

This will hurt a bit.

Alright. Done.

You don't have to peel anymore.
I'll do it myself.

You should've said you didn't know how.

Then I won't get to hear the rest, will I?

It was just getting interesting.
You'll take forever to finish peeling.

It's fine. I can peel

and talk at the same time.

Where was I?

I asked you

whether the people
who went to Skull Island

didn't know about the curse.

They knew.

Then why did they still go?

Because there was
something motivating them.

That's why they still go.

Motivation? What is it?

Black Coral.

Black Coral?

Oh, Kang.

Mr. Phum, hello.

I thought I was seeing things.

Why?

I thought you had gone back to Bangkok.

I still have some business here.

Where are you going?

I'm taking food to Uncle.

You have an uncle?

He's not really my uncle.

Uncle Pong isn't right in the head,

and no one takes care of him.

He usually eats at the temple,

but for the past few days,
he's been terrified of something

and hiding in his shack.
So I have to bring food to him.

You really are a good kid.

Then I'll go now. Goodbye.

Kang.

Kang.

Uncle, I brought you food.

Uncle, I brought you food.

Oh? Where did he go?

Uncle.

Uncle.

I brought you food.

Don't be scared.

I brought you food.

I'm not scared of you anymore.

You damn ghost! Die!

Uncle! Uncle! It's me!

Uncle, it's me!

Kang, how are you?

Are you alright?

Are you alright?

Hey.

Don't go to that shack again.
It's dangerous.

He's never

gone wild and hurt anyone before.

You can't trust a madman.
One moment he's fine, the next he's not.

Thank you so much for saving me.

Why did you follow me there?

I was going to ask
if Narathon was at home.

But you ran off, so I followed you.

I don't know. I haven't been
to Thon's house today.

I planned to bring food to Uncle first,
then go feed the fish.

Then why don't we go together?

That'd be good.

Thank you for the meal.

No problem.

It was more than worth it
for the story you told me.

Black Coral…

the precious jewel of the sea.

Don't take it too seriously.

It's just a story passed down
from person to person.

No one has ever actually seen
that so-called Black Coral.

What are you thinking about?

I'm just thinking I should head back

so you can go inside.

Okay. Excuse me then.

Okay.

How's it going, Kang? You're working hard.

I told you,
you don't have to mop the house every day.

Mr. Phum has been waiting
for you for a long time.

Kang, can you make me some coffee?

Of course.
I already plugged in the kettle.

Would you like some coffee too, Mr. Phum?

That would be nice.

What do you want from me now?

I'd like to stay here tonight.

You don't mind, do you?

Sure.

I was planning to go back
to Bangkok anyway.

You can sit or sleep wherever you want.

I'll go pack.

Coffee's ready.

Your coffee's ready, Thon.

Where did Mr. Phum go?

Did he leave already?

I guess so.

What a shame.
He shouldn't have left so quickly.

Why?

He's really fun to talk to.

What did you talk about?

About you.

From when you were little until now.

He remembers everything.

You're so lucky to have a father like him.

Is the power out?

The lights were fine

when I came up in the elevator.

Happy birthday, Da.

Na!

You scared me to death.
I thought it was that ghost again.

Don't ever surprise me like this again.
I don't like it.

Wait, Da, I'm sorry.

Da, Da.

Da, Da.

Da. Da.

Da, I'm sorry.

Da, please open the door.

Da.

Why did he stop?

After scaring me like that,
why isn't he trying to make up with me?

Seriously?

Don't tell me he left.

Na, what are you joking about?

Dara, listen carefully.

No. I'm not listening.

I'm mad at you. Get out.

I said listen!

I need your help.

No…

No.

You are the only one who can help me.

No! Stay away from me.

I can't contact anyone except you.

Go be reborn already!

Why are you haunting me?

You heartless woman.

Da.

You're not mad at me anymore, right?

Da.

Sairung?

Hard to believe someone like her
would give up and leave that easily.

Make sure you get it.

Hurry.

Whoa.

You've got such a beautiful girlfriend
and didn't even introduce her?

Whoa, she's really beautiful.

Piak!

Were you eavesdropping on me?

No. I was too far away to hear anything.

I wasn't eavesdropping.
I was just watching.

Your girlfriend is gorgeous,
like an angel.

-She's not my girlfriend.
-Oh?

Then why did she come to see you?

She's my old boss. She has a job for me.

Go to bed now.

We start early tomorrow.

What kind of job?

Don't ask. Just go to bed.

Why so grumpy?

It's here.

It's here.

You madman!

You scared me. Go away!

It's here.

It's here.

It's here.

Sompong?

Is that you?

You…

Look ahead. Look ahead!

Don't turn around. Don't turn around.
The moment you turn around, you die.

If you turn around, you die.

No. Don't.

Whose voice is that?

Does Aunt Bua have stomach pain again?

Kang.

It's late. Why aren't you asleep?

Well,

I heard a woman crying.

I thought it was Aunt Bua.

She said her stomach hurt
earlier this evening.

Bua is fine now.

She was just sitting
beside the pavilion earlier.

You must be hearing things.

Go to bed.

Alright.

Remember this.

If you hear anything late at night,

do not answer it.

Do not leave your room again.

Okay.

Hey, go.

Okay.

It hurts.

Help me.

Don't tell me you're going diving
at Skull Island too.

You two are going to Skull Island?

What if I told you
I saw the Black Coral that day?

Would you believe me?

I might lose control

and do something you'd never expect.
