I get that dj vu feeling.

It's like I'm seeing something

that happened before.

But all of this...

There's got to be

something more,

isn't there?

Does it have something to do

with your family?

Everything I'm supposed

to feel for them...

Isn't there.

I mean,

I think about them all the time.

But I just...

I don't feel anything.

I can't cry.

I'm not angry.

There's nothing.

We grow up here

believing in things

that can't be explained...

Things that we can't see,

we can't touch,

but we know it's there.

We know it's real.

My cousin's aunt Mae Noi,

she knows about these things.

I think we should go

and see her.

What is it?

Special tea.

This will help you.

Oh.

[Coughing]

It's very good.

Please sit down.

Choi told me

what you have been seeing.

You know, some people

would consider it quite a gift.

Not if they've been seeing

what I've been seeing.

The shadow world

is a very disturbing place.

Shadow world?

[Speaking Thai]

She says the shadow world

is filled with unfortunate ones

who died suddenly

or died in a terrible way.

Their souls are stuck,

and they keep living

their last moments over and over,

like a bad dream.

And that's what I've

been seeing?

[Speaking Thai]

What?

She says you can see them

if you're looking

at the place they died,

at the time of the day

they died,

and, of course,

only if the place

is in the shadow.

[Speaking Thai]

Close your eyes, please.

[Speaking Thai]

Mae Noi said

we can get more tea

anytime we need it.

We just have to call.

Look, I appreciate

your doing this,

but I'm still not sure

your aunt knows

what's going on here.

Well, no, I meant

I'm sure she understood...

Understood what?

People don't just start

seeing things like this

out of the blue.

It happens for a reason,

and I really don't think

I can be cured

by your aunt's kind of medicine.

But we have to do something.

Look, I'm the one

who's screwed here, remember?

I can decide what I want to do.

I know it's hard to see now,

but with time, things change.

Things can get better.

You think I can just get back

what I lost?

No, of course not.

But it doesn't mean

you just give up.

Look, just save it

for your hospice patients,

all right?

I don't need it.

Jeff, what are you doing?

I just need to be alone

right now.

- I'll see you at home.

- Jeff, no.

[Indistinct whispering]

[High-pitched tone]

[Gunshot]

[Screaming]

[Speaking Thai]

[High-pitched tone]

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

[Woman sobbing]

[Speaking Thai]

Help me.

Jeff, are you in here?

Jeff?

My God.

What happened?

[Speaking Thai]

What is she saying?

The shadow world

should never be able

to reach this side,
