face everynight while asleep

He didn't dare fall asleep

until I took the curse off him.

How's that?

He had to sleep in the coffin with

a person who died a violent death

every night before midnight

for 7 days

with my help

will release the curse.

Does this mean that all 4

of us must do the same?

And what about the lady

behind you?

Won't she also join you?

Behind us?

Who?

There's only the 4 of us

Hey! Aren't you like blind?

No wonder Saem didn't want

to greet you

It's because she also came

with you...

You see, I've never heard of

anything like this before

But if there really has been

a murder committed

and even

the Buddhist priest knows

about it then so does the police

Manoon, I want all the details

on the prostitution

murder case immediately.

On that day

the Buddhist told me to stay

inside the temple church

while the rest set out finding

those dead coffins

before their time runs out.

What happens when it becomes

after midnight?

Hyai, What the hell

are you looking at?

Did you notice

All the cars are blinking their

head lights at us.

I blink in return but then they

honk their horn at me.

There!There's another one.

Damn it!

What is it with these damn

dead coffins?...

So damn hard to find

Are we going to survive this?

Shut your f***ing mouth!

Damn!

That's it

Can I not go?

I want to go home

Just drop me off at home,

alright pal?

Damn!

What the hell is your problem?

PleaseI'm asking you

Here, turn here

My house is just here.

Aren't you afraid to die anymore?

I'll be safer at home

The most I'll get is a good beating

At least my father won't kill me

Turn hereTurn here

Stop. Stop right here.

You don't believe in this

curse, right?

If I do, then what?

I'll have to sleep inside a coffin

like that crazy guy?

Right, you guys go ahead

We'll see what happens

tomorrow See ya!

Hey!...

Wait! Hyai!

Nui...Forget about him

We can look for it by ourselves.

Where is everyone

Ma!... I'm home!

Hey, little one

Did Aunty spank you again

Sir, there's only 2 coffins

Is there maybe just one more?

You got two for one damn

bottle of whisky

What else do you want?

Why don't you die,

then you'll have another one

Hey! Don't have to be rude.

Calm down, man

It's better than nothing.

Gets two and complains

We've got to hurry back

or we won't make it on time.

It's already past midnight

The Buddhist priest said

the ritual won't work

That's not true

He's lying to us

It's hard enough finding

the coffins

he has to do the ritual

What have I done wrong?

Why do I have to wait for death?

Uan, when it's time

we all must die

There has to be another way

Another way?

What other way?
