Attention please.

Actually,

it's not different from an

ordinary elephant.

It's just covered

with more hair.

Strange... I've never seen

anything like it before.

And who was the

first to spot it?

A local hunter searching

through the jungle.

From there,

the news just spread.

Forrest rangers

used helicopters...

...to survey and take

pictures of it.

As members of the asian

elephant conservation group,

we should go in,

explore and take our own photos.

Mr. Termsak, is this story

really believable?

Or perhaps.

This is just another crazy

make believe story...

...that will end up being

another fake?

That's why we have to go

and find proof for ourselves...

...so we'll know the truth.

That way, no one will be fooled.

So we have to risk going

deep into the jungle?

Don't think of it that way, Tong.

If all of this is true,

our group will get the credit

for the discovery.

Searching for this

strange elephant

and filming it at the same time?

Won't that be a hassle?

I don't think so...

We'll film while we're exploring.

Once we have proof

no one can say that we

were foolish to believe in a myth...

We've got to get the proof, Air.

Kong, we can invite

those foreign researchers

to come with us.

It seems like they've

really had a liking for the elephants.

From the moment they arrived,

we can work together.

Won't they just be in our way?

No...

I think it would be good to have

some foreigners along.

Thai people trust foreigners.

They believe everything

foreigners say.

And another thing is that they

can be our witnesses.

Tong, be sure to prepare camping

gear for them too.

Mr. Termsak, how should we break up

the responsibilities?

This is how we'll do it.

Henry, you'll do the filming.

Kong and Tong, you two will take care

of the foreigners.

We should have enough

canned supplies

and camping equipment...

...to last us 3 days in the jungle.

Lets all watch each

other's backs.

This jungle is deep

and dangerous.

And it's used for

drug smuggling too.

Let's move it.

Cheers

I would like to ask both

of you a question.

What is it that you want to do?

What do you mean?

In the wild?

Nope

I like that black girls group.

You like black girls?

Oh you like black girls?

No one dislikes them

I am particularly fond of them

I tell you that guy up there is

even more particular.

You are talking about black girls

I can hear you.

Come on down.

Welcome

Sing for us.

Come on.

Yeah sing for us.

One two three here we go.

Did we come to the wrong place?

I wonder if this is the place.

That's it.

There's only one village around here.

Oh really

I've checked.

But it's strange.

How everything looks so different.

Well, we should do something.

We haven't had a bath or eaten yet.

We don't even know where

we're going to sleep yet.

The main problem is

cannot have a bath.

You're worried about a bath?

How about food.

What happened?

Don't worry.

We need to stay at the

church tonight.

Hurry up, man!

You gotta film this.

This is how they cremate

people out here in the villages.

Where's the village chief?

Excuse me.

You're looking for me, Termsak?

Yes, chief.

I guess you're here to

find out about this famous elephant...

Yes, that's right, chief.

...that's been on the news so much, huh?

Yes you're right.

We'd like to stay the

night at the temple...

...and we'll need a tracker to

guide the way for us.

I'll have someone send for him,

but our tracker, Thong,

probably won't want to go

back into the jungle again.

I won't go! I can't take them!

If you won't take us,

then how are we

supposed to find the way?

Please don't tell me that

we came over 800 kilometers...

...and this is the answer we get!

Tracker, please let me

just say this...

we really need your help.

I won't go!

I never want to go back

into that jungle again!

If you won't go...

then who's going to guide us?

No one else knows

where to find the elephant.

Then the truth will never come out.

No proof.

And this will just be

seen as another myth.

And it's not like we're asking

you to do this for free.

We'll pay you.

Come on, name your price.

Stop making such

a big deal out of this.

You think this is about money!? Huh?

All of you already have shadows hanging

over your heads!

Let go him.

You are all no brain.

What are you talking about?

What's in the jungle?

Ummm... It's nothing.

It's just that it's a

deep and dense jungle.

You might be able to

find your way in,

but there's no way out.

There were several hunters

who went in but never came back.

Another thing,

this elephant that you're looking for,

it might or might not be in there...

We can't be sure.

But if it is in there,

it could be wild or dangerous.

It's too risky.

That's why Mr.

Thong refuses to go in.

This stuff you're babbling about isn't

going to stop us.

We don't believe in

stupid fairy tales.

I think you all are

just being paranoid.

Must be.

We've got to continue this

and finish our project.

Even if Thong won't lead us,

we'll still go in on our own.

At least we'll know

what's in that jungle.

Don't!! No!!

Help!

Help me! Somebody help!

No!

Please help me.

What's wrong, Air? What's wrong?

What happened?

What is it?

Are you alright?

Al, you were just having a nightmare.

I'm not going!

Slow down. Be careful.

This way going forward.

Mr. Termsak.

Mr. Termsak.
