Ghost of Mae Nak

Synopsis: In Bangkok, the groom Mak is scared, having successive nightmares with a ghost woman, Mae Nak, an ancient Thai legend. He meets his beloved fiancée Nak to visit an old house in Phrakhanong with the unscrupulous real state agent Angel and they decide to buy the property. After their wedding, two small time thieves break into the house and steal their gifts and other objects. When Mak sees the criminals on the streets of Bangkok selling his goods, he chases the burglars and they run their van over Mak, who gets into a deep coma. Mae Nak protects the young couple against Angel and the burglars, but in return she holds the soul of Mak. Nak finds the remains of Mae Nak in an ancient cemetery, and with some monks, they exorcise Mae Nak from Mak and release her spirit.

The legend of Mae Nak|is a tale of true love...

...and is a tale that Thai people have|been telling for many generations.

Because one day the Ghost of|Mae Nak will return again...

...so she can find her true love.|The true love that once was.

Her spirit will never die.

Hey who's there?|It's very late to be knocking...

Who are you? Stop banging!

What are you doing?|Stop banging now!

Stop it! Just stop banging!

Hello. Good morning sir this is|your wake up call.

Nak! Oh I am so glad to hear|your voice. I had another nightmare.

- Mak are you okay?|- Yeah I'm fine. Just a bad dream.

- What do you mean?|- Well this one was...

Well tell me when I see you.

- Okay. Mak loves Nak.|- Nak loves Mak.

Going to work now?

No Father, I'm meeting Nak.

Here, what about your breakfast?

It's okay,|I'll have breakfast with Nak.

We're going to see a house.

They serve breakfast at this house?

No Mother. We'll probably get|something to eat beforehand.

Mother? Father?|Did you hear something last night?

No. Nothing.

No. Why?

It must have been nothing. See you.

Nak! Not here. It's too public.

I haven't seen you in twelve hours.

This time I saw her.

Saw what?

This woman.

What woman?

In my nightmare. Her smile was black.|She had no teeth. No gums.

Just shiny black.|It was very real. Very scary.

Well from next week I'll be|sharing the bed with you.

So this woman will have to smile at me|first before she can scare you again.

Maybe a change of home|will improve things.

Let's hope that this Estate Agent|is as true as the words in his ad.

For sale:
Two bedroom house|with kitchen and bathroom

in Rhrakanong district.

Needs some attention but...

Yes read on!

...ideal for newly wedded couple.

Asking price 300,000 Baht.|Contact Angel Estates.

It seems too good to be true.

I like the last part best:|"Suitable for Newly Wedded Couple"

That'll be us.

You must be the|ten o'clock appointment.

Come on inside.

Sit down.

We've come about the property.

Not so fast! No so fast.

I knew you two would be|coming here today.

Now tell me about yourselves.

Well I'm Mak.|This is Nak, my fiancee.

We are getting married next Saturday.

Excellent. How wonderful.

So that must mean you are interested|in my little house in Rhrakanong?

Well. I'm afraid it's sold already.

But you said we are the only ones...

...because we were first to call you.

Just kidding!

I just needed to see|your level of interest.

But I should warn you.|This house does need a few repairs.

Do you want to see it now?

If possible.

Let me find the key then.

What do they mean? These symbols.

They protect me.

Rrotect you from what?

The key used to be here...

These are so beautiful.

Ah! Here it is.

Rhrakanong! You will never find|such a beautiful mix of people

in the whole of Bangkok.

See you're not far from the Skytrain.

Now we have to walk for|a little bit... Just over here.

So who lived in this house before?

There's been several owners.|They don't seem to stay long.

It's been empty for a few years.

You said it is an old house?

It's a very old house.|Rrobably the oldest in the area.

How old?

Over one hundred years old.

This is going to be|an exciting new area to live in.

They will build condominiums. Soon|all this will change for the better.

The key.

Like I said it's old.

But it's beautiful.

At the back is the bedroom|and bathroom. Simple but cosy.

We want the house Mr. Angel.

Yes! We'll buy the house.

I knew you two would be ideal|for this place.

So let's begin the paperwork,|shall we?

I'm afraid the garden is a bit wild.

But a little work will fix it.

Sorry. I left my bag inside.

Mak! Come on. I've got to go to work.|They only gave me the morning off.

Hey. They look nice and rich.

Yes, rich for the picking.

Mak, call me at work.|Let me know that it's confirmed.

No wait and call me at home tonight.

No, no. Call me at work!

Here's the contract for the Rhrakanong|house. You sign your name here.

Hello, I'm calling about|the Rhrakanong house...

advertised in the|newspaper yesterday...

Rlease call me back urgently...

Yes hello! I'm calling about|buying the house in Rhrakanong...

Leave it too long,|and you might be too late.

But maybe I should speak|to a lawyer first.

The house is not going anywhere.

It's been there|for over one hundred years.

Sign it.

Well done!

This house has been waiting|for you for a long time.

Hello.

It's ours.|Contract signed and sealed!

Really? Oh Mak I know it's so right.

- Nak loves Mak. - Mak loves Nak...|and needs more change!

Excuse me.|Could I look at this one please.

Can I see it?

What is it?

It's very old. One hundred...|The price to you... One hundred!

I'll take this one.

Look after it.

It's very fragile.

It will bring you good luck.

Nak!

So tell me. Did you get it?

Yes we did. Noi it's so perfect.

Sounds so romantic...

Beautiful. Like in a fairy tale.

It's an old traditional house...
