Colic: The Movie (2006) - full transcript
Colic is a syndrome found in infants, which causes infants to cry continuously for hours. The reason behind this illness is usually credited by medical expects to a number of factors. However, some people believe that it's linked to something supernatural. "Colic" tells a story of a couple (Pongpob and Phraeploy) who have a shotgun wedding upon discovering that Praeploy has unexpectedly become pregnant. After the wedding, Pongpob brings Phraeploy to his mother's suburban home. The night before Praeploy delivers the child, the house next to theirs catches on fire. When the baby is delivered, and is brought to their house, he screams and cries with no reason. The doctor considers the baby has colic, and tells the couple that the ailment will disappear when the baby turns 3 to 6 months old. Several months later, the baby still hasn't stopped crying...while the family's members encounter to mysterious and unexplained experiences.
Alright
Alright, Meaw
no, not too long, thank you
Your documents
Goodbye
Good, Now say "bye bye"
1... 2... 3...
Say "bye bye" 1... 2... 3...
I'm in the middle of
casting some children
Pong, Aoy sent us
a picture of her son
Jimmy is so adorable
Let's talk later
it's too noisy
I can hardly hear you
I'll see you at home, OK?
I've got to work
Alright dear
I guess this means
you're my boss Prae
It's not definite yet
Well, congratulations
Gotta run
Prae, Pookie wants to see you
OK
Let me stop by my office first
I'll catch you up
Alright
Prae
"Colic"
Hey... You're doing
the washing late tonight
We're not ready for this yet
Prae, let's get married
Why don't you go in
I want to check our stuff
Prae
what are you carrying there?
It looks heavy
and you're pregnant
let me help
Where's Pong?
He's with the rest of our stuff
Just leave them here
Let the removal men
take care of it
Over there is fine
That's it
Hello mom
Pong, where were you?
How could you let your wife
carry such heavy things...
...while pregnant?
Oh mom. It wasn't that heavy
Mine is much heavier
OK then hurry up
and put them down
Leave it there, Let the
removal men take care of it
Is that a picture
of your parents?
Yes
You're very good
Growing up without any parents
They would be very proud
Stay with me
and you won't be lonely
It won't be long before we have
a kid running around here
Let me go check on
something downstairs
Where are you going, mom?
Just downstairs
Prae, don't you think we should
turn this room into a nursery?
Yes, that would be nice
it's so spacious
And it gets a nice breeze
Just give it a lick of paint
Benn
Benn, are you home?
Benn
This is Prae
She'll be staying with us
Don't mind her
she hasn't been well
One day I'll tell you about it
What's that?
The best cake ever
It looks amazing
I Wish you both
a happy marriage
Thanks. Thanks so much
I wish you both much happiness
Thanks, mom
It's me
It's our wedding
Here, let me have the camera
Just look at these boys
getting drunk down there
Yeah
Let them go crazy for once
They're always getting drunk
Look at them. Go for it guys
Hey Jean, we're out of whisky
Can we get some more?
Don't, Prae. Don't spoil them
That's enough boys, it's late
Why are you still drinking?
Give the newly weds some rest
Stop complaining
Get Pong up here so he can
carry his bride off to bed
Hurry up
Prae, just go to bed
Don't bother to wait for them
What's wrong, Pong?
Nothing
See what you get?
Have they left already?
Well, it's 4am
Who would want to stay longer
They have homes to go to
you know
My head is killing me
Serves you right
Pong, can I ask you something?
What?
What happened to Benn?
Benn, eh?
Well, from what I remember
her husband was a soldier
and he died
but not like a car accident
He burned to death
That's strange
Were you close to her?
And...
Hey, are you asleep?
I've resigned already
It was becoming difficult to
work with my stomach like this
I was bored as well
So you feel like a failure?
Why don't you make something
and sell it here
You can help me with the
illustrations for books too?
You can work from home
until your baby is old enough
then you can help me with my job
It'll give me time
to get my masters
I can graduate in 2 years
OK
at least I won't be so bored
Bored? What's wrong?
Tell me about it
Well, nothing really, I just
think that the house is too far
With the traffic
Pong gets home so late
Sometimes at midnight
or even 1 am
You know his job
has no fixed schedule
Stop worrying so much during
your pregnancy, will you?
Besides, you're married now
I don't know
I'm not sure if he's ready
It's like
if I forced him into it
Pong is in the shower?
Yes
He got home early today
The production
wrapped up at 2:00 am
so he slept in today
Look at him. He's eating and
sleeping at all the wrong times
You have to tell him
You look like
you're at full term
When are you due?
The date has been
set for next week
Where are you off to?
Have something to eat
I have an emergency at work
Go ahead and eat without me
It'll be another late night
I'll see you later, mom
Why are you in such a rush?
You're missing dinner
I'll get it
Hello
May I speak to Pong
Who's calling?
Ann
He's already left
So he's on his way? Thank you
Benn, do you want to
join us for dinner?
I brought this
Old newspapers
That's just what I need
Let me take them
Don't be afraid
Afraid of what?
Are you OK, Benn?
Has Benn gone?
What's her rush?
Hello?
Aren't you asleep yet?
I've just finished
I'm on my way home
Do you want anything?
No, I'm ready for bed
OK
Go to sleep then
You don't have to wait up
OK
Who would wait up?
No...
Take me...
Take me instead
Mom...
Mom...
Mom...
What's wrong Prae?
Benn's place is on fire
Huh?
Quickly, call Benn
I'll call the fire brigade
Benn...
Benn...
Benn
Benn...
Benn
Benn
OK. Take long, deep breaths
Breath and push when you can
Long, deep breaths
Long, deep breaths
Slowly. Long breaths
Your cervix is fully dilated
And the baby is in position
Breath long and deep
Push...
Long, deep breaths
Push...
Great
It's a baby boy
He's so strong and healthy
He has your nose
don't you think?
No, I think it looks
more like yours
But I think he has my mouth
Really?
I'll leave the
birth certificate with you
No problem
Look at him
He's not interested in
anything but his baby boy
I thinks so too
Wow, he was born at 11:59 pm
One more minute and he would
have been born on another day
But he's a Thursday baby
Then... I'll go and take care
of Benn's funeral arrangements
Goodbye
Goodbye
I feel so sorry for Benn
She didn't have anyone
except us
But why would she
do that to herself?
Sleep. Sleep little one
I think he'd be happier
in his basket
You look awkward carrying him
You only close your eyes for me
Prae turn the computer off?
Just pull the plug?
No, It's OK
I'll take care of it
Go to sleep
What's the matter, little guy?
There's no need to cry
Don't cry. Come on. Don't cry
Come on son, stop crying
Why are you crying so much
Pan?
We cannot detect
anything wrong with your son
He was born very healthy
But he was crying
like he was in pain
He cried all the way here
doctor
Then we should check him
more thoroughly
Your son appears to have colic
Colic? What is Colic?
It's a medical condition
But you have
nothing to worry about
It will last for
about 3 to 6 months
Then the child
will grow out of it
It's what we used to call
the howling months
So what makes him cry like that
doctor?
Is there anything wrong
with him?
Actually, nobody is really sure
what causes this condition
Frankly speaking
the child is too young
to tell us where he hurts
so we don't know where to check
But overall
the boy seems healthy to me
So you're telling us that all
we can do is helplessly watch
our son cry?
There's absolutely
nothing we can do?
Pong
There has to be something
There must be
Pong
Doctor
my son cries all day and night
and won't stop for anything
even when I'm carrying him
I don't know what to do
I feel like a bad mother
I feel so sorry for him
and I don't want
to see him like this
It get stressed when he cries
and now my husband and I
are fighting all the time
That's right
We used to be so happy
but after our son
got this condition
all we do is fight everyday
We don't understand
what happened
Can you help us...
to get our old life back?
Sorry
Pan
Don't cry. Don't cry my love
I'll get you some milk
Don't cry. Please stop crying
It's all done
I'm leaving now?
My house isn't that close
you know
Alright. I'm leaving now
I have to go, Prae
Look at you. Working so hard
You must be so tired
Ohh, don't cry
my little angle
Don't cry. Granny's here
Don't cry. Are you hungry?
I'll get you some milk
Where did that go?
Oh come here my love
Come sleep in Grandma's room
Don't cry
Come sleep in Grandma's room
Don't cry
Come sleep in Grandma's room
so Mommy can get some rest
Haven't you gone to bed yet
mom?
I'm a little thirsty
Hard day?
Yes
Have you eaten?
You don't eat or sleep
properly anymore
Don't let yourself
slip like that
You're not a single man anymore
You're a father
not a work-horse
It's difficult mom
How's Pan doing?
He's still the same
It's been over than 3 months
and he hasn't stopped crying
Pong, I want to take him
to see a monk
so he can be blessed
with holy water
It might make him
a little better
Mom, if holy water would help
I would bring some home
and mix it with his formula
Stop being like that
Who knows if it will work
Doctors don't know
what causes it
Shouldn't we try every avenue?
Maybe he'll get better
He is your son
Alright. I'm free this Saturday
I'll take him
I haven't seen you here
for awhile
I had to come here
and ask your holiness
to bless this child
He's been crying non stop
It's called
The hundred day cry
It has been more than 3 months
Father
He won't stop
He won't stop?
Let's have a closer look at him
Keep him close
Don't let out of your site
until he's one year old
Remember not until he passes
his first birthday
Prae...
We should open that shop
we were talking about
You wouldn't have to sit
at home doing nothing all day
Come on
lets at least talk to him
Go on then
Excuse me
Hurry up
Excuse me
Enough with the measuring
Hey, careful
What?
Is your shop for lease?
Is this shop for lease?
What was that?
Hey, stop for a second
Do that later
Do something else for now
Are you interested?
Excuse me
We can talk about the price
if you're really
interested in the lease
Do you have a contact number?
Oh, don't cry
Your Aunt Jean
will be back in a second
In Chonburi and Rayong
We've got loads
Well, they're too far
Not yet
Do something else for now
I'll kill you for sure
I don't know if you...
Pan. Mommy's here, Pan
Jean's almost finished
Nearly done
Pan. Jean's nearly finished
What is it? Don't cry...
Don't pull mommy's necklace
Don't...
Let me call you back
I've had a bit of an accident
6 MONTHS OLD
Six months and he's much better
It's just like the doctor said
He doesn't cry anymore
Take him up to bed
It's getting late
I'll take him to his room
Why don't you give Prae a hand?
Alright
Pong
If our son...
Just leave them there
I'll take care of them
Why don't you go up to bed
You've been so busy
Oh, don't cry...
What the hell is going on?
It's been six months hasn't it?
Let me take him
Oh, don't cry, sweetheart
Just give him
a little more time
More time? How much longer?
I think it's enough
Come on, son
What's the matter?
You're as white as a ghost
Nothing
I didn't get enough sleep
I was afraid
I wouldn't finish the project
What? I thought you said
you were bored
Isn't Pan any better?
What does his dad say about it?
He's always busy
Thank god for my mom-in-law
How about this then?
Don't worry about my project
just focus on Pan
No way
This is all I have
I'm not giving it up
At least
I can still care for myself
No one knows
what the future holds
This has nothing to do
with the project
I can handle the work
Alright, then take this project
It's not particularly urgent
You can take your time
Parapsychology
It's a science
based on the 4th dimension
of the psychic realm
and the 6th sense
I not too familiar with it
But I got my professor
to write about it
This subject isn't that
well know in Thailand
but it's been studied in foreign
universities for some time now
It's a bit like a science
where people are born
with ability to see ghosts
Jean, do you remember what
happened at the balloon shop?
It was like my son knew
what was going to happen
That's why
he was crying so much
I'm not sure
but it's like every time
my son cries
something strange happens
Sometimes I feel like there's
someone else
living in our house
No
No
Did you ever think that
what we're doing
might not be helping him?
Maybe we are not focusing on
the right cause?
Maybe...
So what should we
be focusing on?
We've done all we can
I don't know Pong
It's up to you If you
want to believe me or not
Every time our son cries
I feel that there is something
weird going on in our house
I feel that
someone is hurting him
I've experienced things myself
Ghosts?
You mean my father's ghost
right?
My father must hate our son
That's why he picks on him
No, not like that
That's not what I meant
Then what are you
trying to say?
We both know our son's bizarre
sickness can't be treated
It has nothing to do
with my house
Pong
Do you want us to move?
No, of course not
Then what?
Don't we have
enough chaos in our lives?
Now you want to
Involve ghosts and demons?
Have you gone mad?
You've just realized that
your wife is crazy?
Do you even care about
anything or anyone else?
You can't even imagine what
your son and I have to endure
You've never cared
All you do is work! Work! Work!
What kind of a father are you?
Alright then, I'll quit my job
and catch the ghosts
that are haunting you and Pan
To hell with trying
to make a living
It might not
only be my dad's ghost
Maybe the ghosts of your parents
are having some fun too
Why must it be 3 to 6 months?
There's no evidence of this
in behavioral psychology
We believe that in the
early stages of childhood
the spirit is in transition
between past life
and present life
The first cry
at the time of birth
is believed to signify the
presence of life on this earth
What does it all mean
professor?
Alright, in layman's terms
By the third month
the optical nerves
are fully developed
Children start to
recognize their parents
this is their first contact
with the world
By month six, they'll start
responding to voices
that call out their names
They are becoming self aware
It's the time
when they become developed
enough to live in this world
Professor
can I be frank with you?
Prae doesn't think
her son is sick or disabled
She feels that there is
some entity harming her child
Then we'll definitely
need more time to talk
9 MONTHS OLD
What did the doctor say?
He would like to monitor
Pan for a bit longer
No. That's unacceptable
Well
just recover the damn data
I'm not sure if the tape
we shot is still there
Look for it
and I'll be there shortly
Yeah, later
You have to go again, son?
Why don't you take the car?
I'll take a taxi
Here are the keys
I think it's better
if we take a taxi
See you later, son?
Where the hell
is everyone going?
Look
Are we gonna make this light?
Hurry it up
before it turns red again
I don't believe this
Take your time
we're in no hurry
Take my time, lady?
Some of us
have got to make a living
How is your work with Jean?
It's going well
We thinking about
opening up a real shop
We'll might
have to hire some help
Sounds great
But don't neglect
those two boys of yours
I know married life can be hard
but you need to
support each other
This intersection takes forever
Don't they know
how to switch it to green?
These stupid kids
are everywhere
I hope they get run over
Hurry the hell up
We're on green
Where did you learn to drive?
What's taking so long?
Ah, go blow your horn
somewhere else
What's your rush
Is it going to rain
like this all night?
Don't cry, sweetie
What the hell is it crying for?
It's annoying me
I'm going deaf, lady
Pull over
Just stop right here
That's fine by me
Why dear?
We'll get another one
Just get out
You're so annoying
165 Baht
Don't you have
anything smaller?
I've got no change
Well, get some
From where? I only get
a few customers per shift
Mom, do you have any change?
In my purse, dear
Hold on to Pan
Jean called and told me
what's been happening
I have a case
that I'm overseeing here
When he was younger
he exhibited
similar behaviour to your son
But in his case
he cried for years
then one day he simply stopped
He has a problem communicating
with the outside world
and so when he grew up
he began hurting himself
Oh no
You're wetting on
your aunt again
Give him here, I'll help
Don't worry
I'll take care of it
I can get changed
at the same time
Thank you
The diapers are in the trunk
OK
Meet us later
OK
You know where to find us?
Yes
This way, Prae
Pan, why did you
do this to your aunt?
Come in
Are you familiar with autism?
This is a very severe case
This man is
in his early twenties
Why is he like this?
Nobody knows
There's been
a lot of research done
Especially with him
He's out of touch with reality
I'm still studying him
It's as if there is something
going on in his head
in his mind, where we cannot go
There's something
I want to show you
This way, please
That person
you just saw in the wheelchair
This is a video that
we took of him 10 years ago
This is all he did
If we restrained him
he would hit his head
He would hit it against
everything and would not stop
Finally he lost his sight
He became blind and broken
As you can see we couldn't
leave him unsupervised
Why did he do it?
Nobody knows for sure
But one day
I turned the volume
of my computer up
This is what I heard
while he was hitting
his head against the wall
He was alone
when we recorded this
Some people may have things
following them from birth
And no one has any idea
how to help him?
There are no guarantees
but I believe that
physical stimulation
and dedication
from the parents can help
Stay with him, hold him
Stimulate his mind
so he can communicate
with the physical world
Pull him away from
whatever is holding him back
Do whatever you can
I've already told you about
the development of a child
during his first year
They're out of control
Stop that...
Calm down
Stop...
Stop, calm down
Prae
Pong
I'm with Prae at the hospital
Is she alright?
She's fine
She fainted, that's all
I think
she just needs some rest
They're giving her an IV
I'll drive her home
when she wakes up
There's no need to worry
Please take care of her for me
Thanks
Have you had a shower yet?
I can take care of Pan
for a while, if you like
I think Prae will be asleep
until morning
That's alright, I've got this
You're ready for anything
I'll go home then
I'm exhausted
Drive carefully
Pong
That stuff you two
were fighting about
People don't know unless
they've experienced it
first hand
I don't even believe it myself
But there must be
some truth in it... Otherwise...
You know Prae would never
believe in it unless there was
Just listen to her
At least she'll have
someone to talk to
I'm not buying any of this
You don't believe in
anything do you?
Pan
I remember what you told me
about Pan's first year
Yes
But the crime he committed in
his past life was tremendous
He was born too soon
before he could repent his sins
Everyone he hurt in the past
want him to suffer
What did he do?
That's not important
When you are born with virtue
you'll live with virtue
When you are born with sin
you'll live with sin
All we can do now
is keep him safe
and protect him on this earth
until it passes
Is there anything else
we can do, Father?
It's Karma
You can't repent
someone else's sins
Listen to me
He's approaching
his first birthday
I can give him
a yearly blessing
but the rest
is up to you and your wife
Pong, what's wrong?
Nothing
Go back to sleep
I'll check on our son
Get some rest
I might be a little late
this evening
I'll try to finish
as soon as possible
Don't worry about it
Pan seems to be
behaving himself today
I can take care of him
I'll come home soon
OK
Pong, we're ready
See you later
Quickly
Stay there, I'll be back soon
Are you OK? Are you OK?
Help me out of here
1 YEAR OLD
Hello
Can I speak to Pong, please?
Don't cry my love, don't cry
He'll be one years old
at midnight
Don't worry Prae
I'll stay with him all night
Pong
Pong
He's asleep, take him upstairs
I'll be right up
as soon as I've cleaned up
Prae, Where's the flashlight?
In the bathroom cabinet
Are you OK?
Yes
Prae
Prae, are you alright?
Prae
Prae, I can't open the door
I can't open the door, Prae
Prae, I can't open the door
Prae
I can't open the door, Prae
I'm right here, son
Open damn you
Pan
Pan
Pan
No
Prae...
Pong...
How are you feeling Prae?
You've had a fever all night
Pan, how is Pan?
Pan is fine
go back to sleep, Prae
You're awake?
How are you feeling?
She's still quite hot
You need to get some rest
You are one brave girl
Thanks
Don't mention it
I'm free all day
I'll take care of Pan for you
Jean will stay at our place
and look after Pan
I'll take Jean first
and then I'll come back
and stay with you.
I'll be alright here
You go on home
and get some rest
That's enough the pair of you
I'll take care of Pan
You two should talk
I'll be back later this evening
Take care of him for me
Don't you worry
I'll take good care of him
just like you do
Get some sleep
Go to sleep
I won't be long
Jean, can I borrow your car?
Where do you want to go?
To visit my mom, I miss her
I'll drop you and Pan home first
then you can relax a bit
Wow, he was born at 11:59 pm
One more minute and he would
have been born on another day
How is everything, Prae?
Pong, do you remember the day
our son was born?
What's wrong, Prae?
I want to know
the exact time he was born
I think it was a few minutes
before midnight
Why did you ask? What's wrong?
The first cry
at the time of birth
is believed to signify the
presence of life on this earth
You took the video in the
delivery room, didn't you?
Please take a look at it
and check when
our baby first cried?
The very first cry
Why, Prae?
Trust me, Pong
Just check it
You're aunt is here
There... There... Don't cry
Don't cry...
Let's get something to eat
I'll make you some rice soup
Prae, his first cry
was after midnight
What?
Wait for me here
Just one minute, stay still...
Don't cry, stay still
Wait for me here
What's wrong?
Pan
Pan
Pan, mommy is coming
Jean...
Pan
Don't be scared my love
Mommy's here
Jean
I'm here, son
Jean
Pong
Pong, I'm in here
I can't open the door
Help me, Pong
Prae
I'm here, Pan
Pong, help me
Pong, help me, Pong
Pong
Pan, stay there
Don't move
Stay there
Pong, help
Stay away my love
Don't come any closer
Stay still, don't move
Don't move...
Go back...
No
Prae
Pong, help our son
Prae
Where are the tongs?
I think
they're in the store room
Pan...
Can you get daddy the tongs?
My mouth's full
What's in your hands?
Let mommy see that
"5 Students Hanged
And Burned To Death"
Slaughtered During Protest
What Benn left behind
showed us the atrocities which
our son committed in
his past life
Benn's husband
was reborn in our son
Even though
it's all in the past
we thought
it would be a good idea
that he come here
and ask for forgiveness himself
Give that to mommy
Alright, Meaw
no, not too long, thank you
Your documents
Goodbye
Good, Now say "bye bye"
1... 2... 3...
Say "bye bye" 1... 2... 3...
I'm in the middle of
casting some children
Pong, Aoy sent us
a picture of her son
Jimmy is so adorable
Let's talk later
it's too noisy
I can hardly hear you
I'll see you at home, OK?
I've got to work
Alright dear
I guess this means
you're my boss Prae
It's not definite yet
Well, congratulations
Gotta run
Prae, Pookie wants to see you
OK
Let me stop by my office first
I'll catch you up
Alright
Prae
"Colic"
Hey... You're doing
the washing late tonight
We're not ready for this yet
Prae, let's get married
Why don't you go in
I want to check our stuff
Prae
what are you carrying there?
It looks heavy
and you're pregnant
let me help
Where's Pong?
He's with the rest of our stuff
Just leave them here
Let the removal men
take care of it
Over there is fine
That's it
Hello mom
Pong, where were you?
How could you let your wife
carry such heavy things...
...while pregnant?
Oh mom. It wasn't that heavy
Mine is much heavier
OK then hurry up
and put them down
Leave it there, Let the
removal men take care of it
Is that a picture
of your parents?
Yes
You're very good
Growing up without any parents
They would be very proud
Stay with me
and you won't be lonely
It won't be long before we have
a kid running around here
Let me go check on
something downstairs
Where are you going, mom?
Just downstairs
Prae, don't you think we should
turn this room into a nursery?
Yes, that would be nice
it's so spacious
And it gets a nice breeze
Just give it a lick of paint
Benn
Benn, are you home?
Benn
This is Prae
She'll be staying with us
Don't mind her
she hasn't been well
One day I'll tell you about it
What's that?
The best cake ever
It looks amazing
I Wish you both
a happy marriage
Thanks. Thanks so much
I wish you both much happiness
Thanks, mom
It's me
It's our wedding
Here, let me have the camera
Just look at these boys
getting drunk down there
Yeah
Let them go crazy for once
They're always getting drunk
Look at them. Go for it guys
Hey Jean, we're out of whisky
Can we get some more?
Don't, Prae. Don't spoil them
That's enough boys, it's late
Why are you still drinking?
Give the newly weds some rest
Stop complaining
Get Pong up here so he can
carry his bride off to bed
Hurry up
Prae, just go to bed
Don't bother to wait for them
What's wrong, Pong?
Nothing
See what you get?
Have they left already?
Well, it's 4am
Who would want to stay longer
They have homes to go to
you know
My head is killing me
Serves you right
Pong, can I ask you something?
What?
What happened to Benn?
Benn, eh?
Well, from what I remember
her husband was a soldier
and he died
but not like a car accident
He burned to death
That's strange
Were you close to her?
And...
Hey, are you asleep?
I've resigned already
It was becoming difficult to
work with my stomach like this
I was bored as well
So you feel like a failure?
Why don't you make something
and sell it here
You can help me with the
illustrations for books too?
You can work from home
until your baby is old enough
then you can help me with my job
It'll give me time
to get my masters
I can graduate in 2 years
OK
at least I won't be so bored
Bored? What's wrong?
Tell me about it
Well, nothing really, I just
think that the house is too far
With the traffic
Pong gets home so late
Sometimes at midnight
or even 1 am
You know his job
has no fixed schedule
Stop worrying so much during
your pregnancy, will you?
Besides, you're married now
I don't know
I'm not sure if he's ready
It's like
if I forced him into it
Pong is in the shower?
Yes
He got home early today
The production
wrapped up at 2:00 am
so he slept in today
Look at him. He's eating and
sleeping at all the wrong times
You have to tell him
You look like
you're at full term
When are you due?
The date has been
set for next week
Where are you off to?
Have something to eat
I have an emergency at work
Go ahead and eat without me
It'll be another late night
I'll see you later, mom
Why are you in such a rush?
You're missing dinner
I'll get it
Hello
May I speak to Pong
Who's calling?
Ann
He's already left
So he's on his way? Thank you
Benn, do you want to
join us for dinner?
I brought this
Old newspapers
That's just what I need
Let me take them
Don't be afraid
Afraid of what?
Are you OK, Benn?
Has Benn gone?
What's her rush?
Hello?
Aren't you asleep yet?
I've just finished
I'm on my way home
Do you want anything?
No, I'm ready for bed
OK
Go to sleep then
You don't have to wait up
OK
Who would wait up?
No...
Take me...
Take me instead
Mom...
Mom...
Mom...
What's wrong Prae?
Benn's place is on fire
Huh?
Quickly, call Benn
I'll call the fire brigade
Benn...
Benn...
Benn
Benn...
Benn
Benn
OK. Take long, deep breaths
Breath and push when you can
Long, deep breaths
Long, deep breaths
Slowly. Long breaths
Your cervix is fully dilated
And the baby is in position
Breath long and deep
Push...
Long, deep breaths
Push...
Great
It's a baby boy
He's so strong and healthy
He has your nose
don't you think?
No, I think it looks
more like yours
But I think he has my mouth
Really?
I'll leave the
birth certificate with you
No problem
Look at him
He's not interested in
anything but his baby boy
I thinks so too
Wow, he was born at 11:59 pm
One more minute and he would
have been born on another day
But he's a Thursday baby
Then... I'll go and take care
of Benn's funeral arrangements
Goodbye
Goodbye
I feel so sorry for Benn
She didn't have anyone
except us
But why would she
do that to herself?
Sleep. Sleep little one
I think he'd be happier
in his basket
You look awkward carrying him
You only close your eyes for me
Prae turn the computer off?
Just pull the plug?
No, It's OK
I'll take care of it
Go to sleep
What's the matter, little guy?
There's no need to cry
Don't cry. Come on. Don't cry
Come on son, stop crying
Why are you crying so much
Pan?
We cannot detect
anything wrong with your son
He was born very healthy
But he was crying
like he was in pain
He cried all the way here
doctor
Then we should check him
more thoroughly
Your son appears to have colic
Colic? What is Colic?
It's a medical condition
But you have
nothing to worry about
It will last for
about 3 to 6 months
Then the child
will grow out of it
It's what we used to call
the howling months
So what makes him cry like that
doctor?
Is there anything wrong
with him?
Actually, nobody is really sure
what causes this condition
Frankly speaking
the child is too young
to tell us where he hurts
so we don't know where to check
But overall
the boy seems healthy to me
So you're telling us that all
we can do is helplessly watch
our son cry?
There's absolutely
nothing we can do?
Pong
There has to be something
There must be
Pong
Doctor
my son cries all day and night
and won't stop for anything
even when I'm carrying him
I don't know what to do
I feel like a bad mother
I feel so sorry for him
and I don't want
to see him like this
It get stressed when he cries
and now my husband and I
are fighting all the time
That's right
We used to be so happy
but after our son
got this condition
all we do is fight everyday
We don't understand
what happened
Can you help us...
to get our old life back?
Sorry
Pan
Don't cry. Don't cry my love
I'll get you some milk
Don't cry. Please stop crying
It's all done
I'm leaving now?
My house isn't that close
you know
Alright. I'm leaving now
I have to go, Prae
Look at you. Working so hard
You must be so tired
Ohh, don't cry
my little angle
Don't cry. Granny's here
Don't cry. Are you hungry?
I'll get you some milk
Where did that go?
Oh come here my love
Come sleep in Grandma's room
Don't cry
Come sleep in Grandma's room
Don't cry
Come sleep in Grandma's room
so Mommy can get some rest
Haven't you gone to bed yet
mom?
I'm a little thirsty
Hard day?
Yes
Have you eaten?
You don't eat or sleep
properly anymore
Don't let yourself
slip like that
You're not a single man anymore
You're a father
not a work-horse
It's difficult mom
How's Pan doing?
He's still the same
It's been over than 3 months
and he hasn't stopped crying
Pong, I want to take him
to see a monk
so he can be blessed
with holy water
It might make him
a little better
Mom, if holy water would help
I would bring some home
and mix it with his formula
Stop being like that
Who knows if it will work
Doctors don't know
what causes it
Shouldn't we try every avenue?
Maybe he'll get better
He is your son
Alright. I'm free this Saturday
I'll take him
I haven't seen you here
for awhile
I had to come here
and ask your holiness
to bless this child
He's been crying non stop
It's called
The hundred day cry
It has been more than 3 months
Father
He won't stop
He won't stop?
Let's have a closer look at him
Keep him close
Don't let out of your site
until he's one year old
Remember not until he passes
his first birthday
Prae...
We should open that shop
we were talking about
You wouldn't have to sit
at home doing nothing all day
Come on
lets at least talk to him
Go on then
Excuse me
Hurry up
Excuse me
Enough with the measuring
Hey, careful
What?
Is your shop for lease?
Is this shop for lease?
What was that?
Hey, stop for a second
Do that later
Do something else for now
Are you interested?
Excuse me
We can talk about the price
if you're really
interested in the lease
Do you have a contact number?
Oh, don't cry
Your Aunt Jean
will be back in a second
In Chonburi and Rayong
We've got loads
Well, they're too far
Not yet
Do something else for now
I'll kill you for sure
I don't know if you...
Pan. Mommy's here, Pan
Jean's almost finished
Nearly done
Pan. Jean's nearly finished
What is it? Don't cry...
Don't pull mommy's necklace
Don't...
Let me call you back
I've had a bit of an accident
6 MONTHS OLD
Six months and he's much better
It's just like the doctor said
He doesn't cry anymore
Take him up to bed
It's getting late
I'll take him to his room
Why don't you give Prae a hand?
Alright
Pong
If our son...
Just leave them there
I'll take care of them
Why don't you go up to bed
You've been so busy
Oh, don't cry...
What the hell is going on?
It's been six months hasn't it?
Let me take him
Oh, don't cry, sweetheart
Just give him
a little more time
More time? How much longer?
I think it's enough
Come on, son
What's the matter?
You're as white as a ghost
Nothing
I didn't get enough sleep
I was afraid
I wouldn't finish the project
What? I thought you said
you were bored
Isn't Pan any better?
What does his dad say about it?
He's always busy
Thank god for my mom-in-law
How about this then?
Don't worry about my project
just focus on Pan
No way
This is all I have
I'm not giving it up
At least
I can still care for myself
No one knows
what the future holds
This has nothing to do
with the project
I can handle the work
Alright, then take this project
It's not particularly urgent
You can take your time
Parapsychology
It's a science
based on the 4th dimension
of the psychic realm
and the 6th sense
I not too familiar with it
But I got my professor
to write about it
This subject isn't that
well know in Thailand
but it's been studied in foreign
universities for some time now
It's a bit like a science
where people are born
with ability to see ghosts
Jean, do you remember what
happened at the balloon shop?
It was like my son knew
what was going to happen
That's why
he was crying so much
I'm not sure
but it's like every time
my son cries
something strange happens
Sometimes I feel like there's
someone else
living in our house
No
No
Did you ever think that
what we're doing
might not be helping him?
Maybe we are not focusing on
the right cause?
Maybe...
So what should we
be focusing on?
We've done all we can
I don't know Pong
It's up to you If you
want to believe me or not
Every time our son cries
I feel that there is something
weird going on in our house
I feel that
someone is hurting him
I've experienced things myself
Ghosts?
You mean my father's ghost
right?
My father must hate our son
That's why he picks on him
No, not like that
That's not what I meant
Then what are you
trying to say?
We both know our son's bizarre
sickness can't be treated
It has nothing to do
with my house
Pong
Do you want us to move?
No, of course not
Then what?
Don't we have
enough chaos in our lives?
Now you want to
Involve ghosts and demons?
Have you gone mad?
You've just realized that
your wife is crazy?
Do you even care about
anything or anyone else?
You can't even imagine what
your son and I have to endure
You've never cared
All you do is work! Work! Work!
What kind of a father are you?
Alright then, I'll quit my job
and catch the ghosts
that are haunting you and Pan
To hell with trying
to make a living
It might not
only be my dad's ghost
Maybe the ghosts of your parents
are having some fun too
Why must it be 3 to 6 months?
There's no evidence of this
in behavioral psychology
We believe that in the
early stages of childhood
the spirit is in transition
between past life
and present life
The first cry
at the time of birth
is believed to signify the
presence of life on this earth
What does it all mean
professor?
Alright, in layman's terms
By the third month
the optical nerves
are fully developed
Children start to
recognize their parents
this is their first contact
with the world
By month six, they'll start
responding to voices
that call out their names
They are becoming self aware
It's the time
when they become developed
enough to live in this world
Professor
can I be frank with you?
Prae doesn't think
her son is sick or disabled
She feels that there is
some entity harming her child
Then we'll definitely
need more time to talk
9 MONTHS OLD
What did the doctor say?
He would like to monitor
Pan for a bit longer
No. That's unacceptable
Well
just recover the damn data
I'm not sure if the tape
we shot is still there
Look for it
and I'll be there shortly
Yeah, later
You have to go again, son?
Why don't you take the car?
I'll take a taxi
Here are the keys
I think it's better
if we take a taxi
See you later, son?
Where the hell
is everyone going?
Look
Are we gonna make this light?
Hurry it up
before it turns red again
I don't believe this
Take your time
we're in no hurry
Take my time, lady?
Some of us
have got to make a living
How is your work with Jean?
It's going well
We thinking about
opening up a real shop
We'll might
have to hire some help
Sounds great
But don't neglect
those two boys of yours
I know married life can be hard
but you need to
support each other
This intersection takes forever
Don't they know
how to switch it to green?
These stupid kids
are everywhere
I hope they get run over
Hurry the hell up
We're on green
Where did you learn to drive?
What's taking so long?
Ah, go blow your horn
somewhere else
What's your rush
Is it going to rain
like this all night?
Don't cry, sweetie
What the hell is it crying for?
It's annoying me
I'm going deaf, lady
Pull over
Just stop right here
That's fine by me
Why dear?
We'll get another one
Just get out
You're so annoying
165 Baht
Don't you have
anything smaller?
I've got no change
Well, get some
From where? I only get
a few customers per shift
Mom, do you have any change?
In my purse, dear
Hold on to Pan
Jean called and told me
what's been happening
I have a case
that I'm overseeing here
When he was younger
he exhibited
similar behaviour to your son
But in his case
he cried for years
then one day he simply stopped
He has a problem communicating
with the outside world
and so when he grew up
he began hurting himself
Oh no
You're wetting on
your aunt again
Give him here, I'll help
Don't worry
I'll take care of it
I can get changed
at the same time
Thank you
The diapers are in the trunk
OK
Meet us later
OK
You know where to find us?
Yes
This way, Prae
Pan, why did you
do this to your aunt?
Come in
Are you familiar with autism?
This is a very severe case
This man is
in his early twenties
Why is he like this?
Nobody knows
There's been
a lot of research done
Especially with him
He's out of touch with reality
I'm still studying him
It's as if there is something
going on in his head
in his mind, where we cannot go
There's something
I want to show you
This way, please
That person
you just saw in the wheelchair
This is a video that
we took of him 10 years ago
This is all he did
If we restrained him
he would hit his head
He would hit it against
everything and would not stop
Finally he lost his sight
He became blind and broken
As you can see we couldn't
leave him unsupervised
Why did he do it?
Nobody knows for sure
But one day
I turned the volume
of my computer up
This is what I heard
while he was hitting
his head against the wall
He was alone
when we recorded this
Some people may have things
following them from birth
And no one has any idea
how to help him?
There are no guarantees
but I believe that
physical stimulation
and dedication
from the parents can help
Stay with him, hold him
Stimulate his mind
so he can communicate
with the physical world
Pull him away from
whatever is holding him back
Do whatever you can
I've already told you about
the development of a child
during his first year
They're out of control
Stop that...
Calm down
Stop...
Stop, calm down
Prae
Pong
I'm with Prae at the hospital
Is she alright?
She's fine
She fainted, that's all
I think
she just needs some rest
They're giving her an IV
I'll drive her home
when she wakes up
There's no need to worry
Please take care of her for me
Thanks
Have you had a shower yet?
I can take care of Pan
for a while, if you like
I think Prae will be asleep
until morning
That's alright, I've got this
You're ready for anything
I'll go home then
I'm exhausted
Drive carefully
Pong
That stuff you two
were fighting about
People don't know unless
they've experienced it
first hand
I don't even believe it myself
But there must be
some truth in it... Otherwise...
You know Prae would never
believe in it unless there was
Just listen to her
At least she'll have
someone to talk to
I'm not buying any of this
You don't believe in
anything do you?
Pan
I remember what you told me
about Pan's first year
Yes
But the crime he committed in
his past life was tremendous
He was born too soon
before he could repent his sins
Everyone he hurt in the past
want him to suffer
What did he do?
That's not important
When you are born with virtue
you'll live with virtue
When you are born with sin
you'll live with sin
All we can do now
is keep him safe
and protect him on this earth
until it passes
Is there anything else
we can do, Father?
It's Karma
You can't repent
someone else's sins
Listen to me
He's approaching
his first birthday
I can give him
a yearly blessing
but the rest
is up to you and your wife
Pong, what's wrong?
Nothing
Go back to sleep
I'll check on our son
Get some rest
I might be a little late
this evening
I'll try to finish
as soon as possible
Don't worry about it
Pan seems to be
behaving himself today
I can take care of him
I'll come home soon
OK
Pong, we're ready
See you later
Quickly
Stay there, I'll be back soon
Are you OK? Are you OK?
Help me out of here
1 YEAR OLD
Hello
Can I speak to Pong, please?
Don't cry my love, don't cry
He'll be one years old
at midnight
Don't worry Prae
I'll stay with him all night
Pong
Pong
He's asleep, take him upstairs
I'll be right up
as soon as I've cleaned up
Prae, Where's the flashlight?
In the bathroom cabinet
Are you OK?
Yes
Prae
Prae, are you alright?
Prae
Prae, I can't open the door
I can't open the door, Prae
Prae, I can't open the door
Prae
I can't open the door, Prae
I'm right here, son
Open damn you
Pan
Pan
Pan
No
Prae...
Pong...
How are you feeling Prae?
You've had a fever all night
Pan, how is Pan?
Pan is fine
go back to sleep, Prae
You're awake?
How are you feeling?
She's still quite hot
You need to get some rest
You are one brave girl
Thanks
Don't mention it
I'm free all day
I'll take care of Pan for you
Jean will stay at our place
and look after Pan
I'll take Jean first
and then I'll come back
and stay with you.
I'll be alright here
You go on home
and get some rest
That's enough the pair of you
I'll take care of Pan
You two should talk
I'll be back later this evening
Take care of him for me
Don't you worry
I'll take good care of him
just like you do
Get some sleep
Go to sleep
I won't be long
Jean, can I borrow your car?
Where do you want to go?
To visit my mom, I miss her
I'll drop you and Pan home first
then you can relax a bit
Wow, he was born at 11:59 pm
One more minute and he would
have been born on another day
How is everything, Prae?
Pong, do you remember the day
our son was born?
What's wrong, Prae?
I want to know
the exact time he was born
I think it was a few minutes
before midnight
Why did you ask? What's wrong?
The first cry
at the time of birth
is believed to signify the
presence of life on this earth
You took the video in the
delivery room, didn't you?
Please take a look at it
and check when
our baby first cried?
The very first cry
Why, Prae?
Trust me, Pong
Just check it
You're aunt is here
There... There... Don't cry
Don't cry...
Let's get something to eat
I'll make you some rice soup
Prae, his first cry
was after midnight
What?
Wait for me here
Just one minute, stay still...
Don't cry, stay still
Wait for me here
What's wrong?
Pan
Pan
Pan, mommy is coming
Jean...
Pan
Don't be scared my love
Mommy's here
Jean
I'm here, son
Jean
Pong
Pong, I'm in here
I can't open the door
Help me, Pong
Prae
I'm here, Pan
Pong, help me
Pong, help me, Pong
Pong
Pan, stay there
Don't move
Stay there
Pong, help
Stay away my love
Don't come any closer
Stay still, don't move
Don't move...
Go back...
No
Prae
Pong, help our son
Prae
Where are the tongs?
I think
they're in the store room
Pan...
Can you get daddy the tongs?
My mouth's full
What's in your hands?
Let mommy see that
"5 Students Hanged
And Burned To Death"
Slaughtered During Protest
What Benn left behind
showed us the atrocities which
our son committed in
his past life
Benn's husband
was reborn in our son
Even though
it's all in the past
we thought
it would be a good idea
that he come here
and ask for forgiveness himself
Give that to mommy
