Unborn, The (2003)

THE UNBORN
A big gambling house which was
operating as a karaoke bar
and owned by a Taiwanese
businessman was raided today.
Police found evidence
of gambling activities including
large sums of cash,
gambling equipment, and...
large quantities of drugs including
Ecstasy and amphetamines.
The gambling den was
the largest in the area
and is believed to have been
in operation for over 3 years.
The Taiwanese owner
who denied the charges
was taken into police custody.
It's raining so I can't drive fast.
Don't blame the rain.
You're always late.
The stuff is almost finished.
Shut up! You banged my car up
badly but I didn't say anything.
Hey! Quick! Shit! Damn fool!
Hey! Por!
Hey! What's up? Chet mad at you?
Yeah! A little bit.
You deserve it.
You crashed his car.
Be nice to him, OK?
No! If I am, he'll think I like him.
Shit! Take over will ya.
I'm going for a smoke.
OK
Hey, Pop!
Your sitting pretty.
You're rich, huh?
If I were rich,
I wouldn't be talking to you!
Shit! You stole my stuff. Bitch!
Stole what? Your mother's panties?
Stole my mother's panties? Bitch!
You wanna mess with me?
Come here. Come here.
Wanna play games huh? Bitch! Cm'on!
Get lost, yeah go. Get in!
Gees, where did she go to smoke?
Bitch! Where you going? Come here.
Wanna try it? Come on! Cm'on.
Let me go, let go, let go! Shit!
How come so much stuff got
me so little money?
I told you I don't know.
I sold 3 tablets for 1 Baht
I sold 3 tablets for 1 Baht.
That's all
Why don't you ask your pusher?
What the hell?
If my man hadn't screwed up,
I'd have you. Bitch!
Stupid broad.
You want a piece of me?
Bitch! Come here!
Porawee...
Porawee...
Porawee... Porawee...
Porawee... Porawee.
My name is Rudee.
You're my patient.
A fisherman found you
unconscious in the water
so he brought you here
I'm not sure how long
you stopped breathing
but I see nothing wrong
except some lacerations.
Don't worry, your baby is safe.
Baby?
You're 10 weeks pregnant.
Didn't you know?
I'm alright now. Can I go home?
I have no money to pay.
Let's talk about it later
I want you to stay overnight
for observation.
The drugs you're taking may
affect your baby.
Are you still taking them?
No!
Alright the nurse will take you
to your room.
You must take medication
and rest a lot.
Sukanya, take her to her room.
Yes
I can't stand young girls nowadays.
They dress horribly
and have bad manners.
You're lucky the swamp is close
to the hospital
and the deputy director
was on duty last night.
You're very lucky.
She knew you were pregnant
so she admitted you.
She probably feels sorry for your baby.
Who asked you?
Excuse me. Please wait.
Who's helping you? Prateep?
Yeah!
Is this the deputy director's patient?
Yeah, bad girl.
Here's your bed.
Where's my stuff?
In the cabinet next to your bed.
Help!
Are you OK?
Help!
Miss... Miss... are you OK? Miss! Miss!
Miss... Miss... are you OK? Miss! Miss!
I told you I didn't take the drugs.
Why don't you believe me?
Damn it! I don't care.
Yeah, I believe you.
There's no trace of drugs in your urine.
The flood that you told me about
was probably a hallucination brought
on by nearly drowning
and the temporary lack
of oxygen to the brain.
But what worries me is
what you're going to do.
Although you're OK now,
you could have a relapse.
These drugs may have side
affects for the baby.
Though you don't care about yourself
you should care about your baby.
Did you report this to the police?
Sukanya, bring me
the dead patient's file
I'll take a look at it.
The hospital will have
to report this incident
to the drug rehabilitation center.
An officer may come to investigate.
But I won't report it to the police.
Well, I'll keep these drugs.
It's OK, right?
I'll go in a minute.
Sukanya, take her to her room
I'll go myself.
You want a drink? Let me do it.
OK
Giving me the sweepstakes?
No, thanks.
Where's the doctor?
She has an urgent case to attend to
What do you want?
You can't help me anyway
I'm here for an abortion.
Can you do it?
If not, tell me where the doctor is.
She's in the forensic room.
Go find her yourself.
What's that room?
Delivery room, maybe.
Porawee
Who are you?
My name is Pipat
I am an officer from the drug
rehabilitation center.
Where's the other guy?
I'm replacing Dusit who used
to take care of you.
You haven't contacted
the center for a long time.
Let me remind you of the rules.
Rule number one,
after a four-month treatment
you must report to the center
or your officer every 2 weeks.
Rule number two, you must...
Test my piss to see
if it's yellow or purple
every month, right?
I've heard it a hundred times.
You're an energetic new comer.
Let's find somewhere to talk
I must take your photo
and record your voice...
to make a behaviour
report for the center.
Tell me your name.
Por
Your current address.
Apartment
Your working address.
Baby Boom.
Since leaving the rehab center
have you ever taken any drugs?
No
I know from the hospital
that you were injured.
Was it related to your drug habit?
How long have you been working?
Where's the other guy?
Hey! You haven't answered
my question yet?
What's up? You're back on it,
aren't you?
I'll go find the doctor.
Doctor
Give me her file
and inform Doctor Rudee.
How is she?
I don't know.
She may be nervous
because of the drugs.
A crying baby! Did you hear?
There's nobody here.
Can't you sleep or are you sick?
I thought I heard something.
Go back and get some sleep.
Did you hear about Sia Chieng's
casino?
It got busted last week.
Of course. It's big news.
Hey! You said your stuff is good
but why did he get busted?
My stuff is good!
What I sold him was crap.
The real stuff is here man!
Por!
Come here you bitch!
I checked with all my girls.
None of them dared cheat me except
you.
You remember this?
Hey! What are you doing?
Shut the hell up or you'll get it.
You alright?
Por, I'm leaving Thailand next month.
My friend in Australia
needs a guitar man.
He asked me to go.
Don't wait for me because
I may not come back.
You can find a new boyfriend.
Nurse! Nurse!
There's a ghost in that room.
There's a ghost in that room.
It's following me.
There's a ghost in that room.
What's up?
There's a ghost in that room.
Calm down. Calm down.
Take it easy.
There's nothing. I'll go with you.
See? There's no ghost
I can't believe you're afraid of ghosts.
What are you doing?
Sukanya told me that
you want an abortion.
Come here
I'll clean your wound.
No!
If you really think of doing it
you'll regret it
I'll show you something.
This is the sound of your heart.
This is the sound
of another small heart.
See? You have a heart
and so does the baby.
You may want to get rid of it today
but one day when you really touch it
believe me, you'll change your mind.
You'll do everything to save its life
to stay with it as long as possible.
Here's my eldest daughter.
This was her when she was
the same age as you.
She had just graduated and
was going to be a doctor like me.
But two weeks after this,
she was in a car crash.
She died with her father
before reaching the hospital.
It's ridiculous that I who save
a lot of people's lives...
couldn't save my own daughter's life.
It's very late now.
You should go to bed.
- I'll go with you
I don't want
to stay here any longer.
Is there something you want to tell me?
You wouldn't believe me anyway
I don't want to stay here.
I want to go home.
But you must promise me
that you'll come whenever you're called.
If you promise, I'll let you go home.
And promise that you
won't hurt your baby again
I promise.
You've been gone for days
I thought you were dead!
Por! Por!
Hey! Going to work?
Yeah! I'll send the car back to Chet.
How have you been?
If you're not well yet,
I can stay with you.
Don't worry. I'm OK. Go to work
I'll stay anywhere except
that haunted hospital.
In all hospitals people die everyday.
It wouldn't be strange
if there were ghosts.
But a girl like you, afraid of ghosts,
that's really strange!
You're not me. You'll never know.
It's damn scary.
It followed me everywhere.
Yeah? That's why I'm seeing
someone sitting next to you.
Stop it, Gift!
Excuse me. Excuse me.
Por? Are you sleeping?
Not yet. What's up?
Hey! Who's behind you?
Shit! Stop!
- I'm kidding.
A man named Pat wants to see you.
He wants you to sign some documents.
He's persistent. Is he still with you?
Yeah, I'll go get him.
If he wants to come, let him come
I'll go get him.
Hey! You're better now
so wash the clothes in the basin
for me will ya.
Hey! Damn! Hey!
Come in. Come in please.
Sit down and wait for a while
I'll call her for you.
Por... hey! Are you shitting?
Por! Por!
Por!
Hey! Help!
Take her to the hospital please!
Is it because of the drugs?
I must test her blood to see
if she took it or not.
We'll know tomorrow morning.
Will you stay with her?
You can stay in this room
but don't disturb her
I'll go now.
Thank you doctor
I'll video tape her to record her
symptoms.
Yeah! So we'll know
what's making her sick.
Por! Por! Where will you go?
Por! Where will you go!
Hey... Por!
Are you alright?
I'm OK. Por! Por!
Mister! Mister!
Where are you? Damned ghost!
Why the hell do you haunt me?
What did I do to you? Come here!
Come here! I'm not afraid of you.
Do you come out when it's wet?
I'm in the rain now. Come to me.
Do you hear me? Come out now.
Come out! Don't haunt me again.
Damned ghost!
The woman in the swamp
comes to find her baby.
Your friend may be her go-between
because she also has a baby.
She'll go when she gets
what she wants.
Hey! You took her child, right?
Give it back to her.
Where's my child
I saw you in the swamp.
A black Mercedes Benz.
Give me my child, please.
Why? How is Ord related to you? Tell
me.
Give me my child.
A dead woman's baby.
How are you related to Ord?
You took her child.
Give it back to her.
Give it back to her.
You took it, right?
Give it back to her.
Give it back to her.
No! No!
Por! Por! Are you OK?
Por has never got mad like this before.
What's wrong with her?
Did she really see the ghost?
Well, you can go back now
I'll take care of her.
Hey! Don't you want her
to sign the document?
Never mind. I must send
the report to the center.
If they don't accept it,
I'll come back again.
This had better be good!
I don't like getting up early!
The spirit has left the swamp.
She came to take her child back.
She came to me.
Who? Come out and talk to me.
Who's following who?
What the hell are you talking about?
All of us must die.
It's haunted that woman.
She knows everything.
You're not making sense,
dumb bastard!
That girl of yours.
She knows everything.
She knows about the swamp
the abortion.
And she knows that you are involved.
Just shut the hell up.
Don't do anything.
I'll take care of it.
How are you?
You're OK, right?
No answer.
Are you possessed?
Or are you on drugs?
Don't take too much.
Did you bring me the document to sign?
No!
What are you thinking about?
I wonder if I can be a mother.
Well, I heard that
you're going home again, right?
Yes
I'll go abroad for one week
I'll be back next week.
Come to hear the blood test result
I don't think there's anything
to worry about.
If you don't love yourself,
love your child.
A mother must do everything
for her child.
What will you do at home?
I'll find out who Mai is.
Do you still believe in ghosts?
Don't think about it.
There may be nothing at all
I can't just wait for strange things
to happen to me.
Don't worry about dead people.
Take care of the new born.
Don't think about the past.
Yes
I'll come to get the test result.
Goodbye
Do you know who and where she is?
Where do we begin?
I don't know but I can't wait in fear.
Shit! If you don't want to help
I'll do it myself
I'll help you for sure
I thought you were delirious
because of the drugs.
But now I believe you.
Why?
Never mind.
Where do we start?
Where did you first see her?
Nong Luang Swamp.
Did she live around there?
Nong Luang Swamp.
A very pregnant woman
I have a friend who may be
able to help us.
The corpse's face was
badly eaten by fish.
We can't do anything.
The postmortem result shows that...
she committed suicide.
We guessed that...
she jumped into the water
because of her pregnancy.
Are you sure it was
the case at that swamp?
Yes! It was big news two years ago.
Why are you interested in it?
I'll tell you later.
Why was it big news?
Just a woman committing suicide.
People seriously protested against
the autopsy.
They said she was a ghost,
who died with a baby in her womb
so they decided to take out the fetus.
Umm... the baby's corpse has
disappeared.
Where was it?
People said it was stillborn.
What's the name of that woman?
Sopida. Her nickname is Mai.
She was an orphan
and stayed with her cousin.
She was due to graduate
when she became pregnant.
What's going on?
Hey! The case was two years ago.
If you want to know more,
research old news articles
I don't know about
the postmortem result
I'll send it to you if I find it.
Thanks a lot.
Hello. Are you Mai's grand parents?
Yeah... Yeah.
We are Mai's friends.
What do you want?
I hadn't contacted her for
a long time
I've just found out she's dead.
How long ago did she die?
About 2 years.
Let's talk at our home.
Do you have to operate on the corpse?
Yeah, sure!
Or it'll haunt us forever.
Let him do it.
Otherwise they'll haunt us relentlessly.
Don't do anything.
They were dead anyhow.
The baby must be taken out
before the cremation.
If its spirit runs amok,
we'll be in trouble.
Let's do it for the majority.
Hey! Hey! It's that girl.
How are you?
Mai suffered badly from
morning sickness, like you.
Mai was pitiful.
When she was alive,
she was an orphan.
When she died, her baby was stolen.
Her corpse hasn't been cremated yet.
Was the fetus stolen?
Yeah. The corpse was
taken out in the evening
and the fetus had disappeared
by the morning.
At first we thought that
the undertaker took it
but we had no evidence.
That night he was killed in his home.
It was rumored that
he took it so Mai killed him.
It's bad that people
believed such nonsense.
Where did Mai take these pictures?
At the college.
Mai didn't have many
close friends there.
Do you know who this man is?
Do you know?
I don't know.
If you really want to know,
go ask at the college
I saw this man in my dream.
Excuse me.
Where can I find this teacher?
Teacher Tanit. He's upstairs.
Can you take me there?
Teacher... there's someone
coming to see you.
- I don't know.
OK. I'll leave now
I used to teach her when I had
newly graduated.
She was polite.
Do you know anything,
or anyone who might know...
about her death or
about her boyfriend or...
anyone who was related to her?
Tanit
I don't know. I have to go now.
We've got nothing again.
Never mind. We did our best.
Ord, How did you get in here?
How do you know about that night?
Which night?
It was two years ago.
How the hell did you see it?
Did you know that pregnant woman?
What the hell are you talking about?
Hey, shit, damn you!
Let me go, let me go, let go of me!
You know too much. You're gonna die.
Bastard!
You die! You die!
Hey... hey!
Ghost! Ghost!
Help!
Don't come! Don't come!
Don't come! Help! Hey!
No! No! Don't come!
Don't come! Don't come!
Excuse me. Do you know him?
No, I don't.
But people say he sold
drugs to teenagers.
What time did you come back last
night?
On the night of the 21 st August,
Bundit Ngerntae.
Umm... about 2 AM
a safety foundation officer
who was known as Ord K...
committed suicide.
The police stated that he was
under the influence of drugs.
Before jumping to his death
he shouted that a ghost
would kill him.
A witness told reporters that
Ord had forced his way...
into Miss Porawee's room
and injured her.
In a fit of rage
ran and jumped from the 4th floor
to his death.
Mai, I really don't know
how to help you.
Pat? It's me
I know where to find the child.
Let's go together.
Go find another entrance, OK?
This must be Mai's child.
How can we be sure?
Go ask that assistant?
I've been here since it
was recovered by police
I hear a child crying every night.
The owner of this place believes that
the child will help him get richer.
If he believes it and does
only good things, it's OK.
But he's greedy so it's a mess.
Did you come here
for the ghost or the human?
No! No! Don't kill me!
Don't come! I'm scared.
Help! Help! It'll kill me! I'm scared!
Take me away from here.
Lock me up
but just take me away from here.
How was Ord K related to this case?
How was Ord K related to this case?
How do you know him?
Ord was an undertaker.
He brought corpses to the hospital
so I knew him.
He told me that
a Taiwanese businessman...
wanted a Thai infant ghost
to be used in his casino.
He believed that an infant ghost
would bring him luck and wealth.
Especially the item
that had been blessed...
going through a proper ritual,
it will be more expensive.
The more potent, the better.
How was it related to the woman
at the swamp?
That woman didn't commit suicide.
One day someone who I owed a favor
asked me to help her son
who had murdered a woman
I hired Ord to take away the corpse.
The corpse was sent to the hospital
in the morning...
for the autopsy.
She died with an infant in the womb.
Me and Ord wanted the infant
so we followed the corpse
to the temple.
The undertaker agreed
to take out the infant
but he asked for too much money
so Ord killed him.
So you took it for Mr. Chieng.
Yes, but the one
that Mr. Chieng got was only
an infant's corpse
I had suppressed its soul
at the forehead's skin
and hung it around my neck.
But that woman broke it
so its mother's spirit came back
to take revenge on me.
This is not a common suicide case.
We must re-open it
because there're many concerned
people
especially Tanit who
is a murder suspect.
The case of Miss Sopida
Chantaramanee
a pregnant woman who
committed suicide 2 years ago
was re-opened after the discovery
of important evidence
which changes it to a murder case.
The hospital officer said that
he was haunted by a ghost
so he confessed all to the police.
At present, the police continue
to investigate it.
There are two suspects,
Mr Bundit Ngerntae alias Ord K
the drug dealer
who died the other night
and Mr Tanit Chobchuen,
a young teacher at a famous college
who was suspected of having had
an affair with his student.
Did you hear about the lost student?
No. What happened?
She was pregnant
I told you there's no use.
Why do you keep it?
Why do you talk like that?
I know you don't care.
So I'll bring it up myself
I told you to get rid
of it from the start.
Why didn't you believe me?
I have nothing left.
I have no future.
The child is the only thing I have.
What can I do?
I already have a family. I'm sorry.
If I die
you may be more comfortable, right?
Hey! She's not dead yet.
Hey! Quick!
Mai, I'm sorry.
By the time you read this letter,
I might not be alive
I'm sorry for what I have done
I felt guilty about that woman
for the whole two years
I'm sorry. Please tell my child
that I love him so much.
Take good care of him
and please tell my mother
I'm sorry. Love.
Mai is a good mother
I hope you go to heaven.
It's all over now.
Hello
Pat? It's Por
I called to let you know
that I'll be over soon.
OK. Where are you now?
At the hospital.
I come for the blood test result.
Today is a holiday.
Will they be working?
The doctor may be.
She made an appointment.
Listen to what the doctor says.
She has good intentions.
She may teach me how to feed the baby.
Good. Let her take care of you.
Are you listening to me?
No! See you
I almost forget that...
the police sent this document
to you the other day.
Thanks a lot.
There has been a case of suicide
in a famous college.
The dead man, Mr. Tanit Chobchuen
was a young teacher who was linked
to the death of the student
named Miss Sopida two years ago.
The deceased was suspected
of the young girl's murder
and was under investigation
by the police
I'm glad that you decided
to keep the baby
because the best thing in
a woman's life is to be a mother
to give birth and raise a child.
What about my blood test result?
You can tell me frankly.
Nothing... just thin blood
I'll give you some iron tablets.
When my son was young he
got a blood disease.
He was often sick and weak
but I did everything I could to help him
and he grew up and graduated
abroad and was successful.
When my daughter died,
my son was all I had left.
No matter how, no matter
what it takes
I must look after him.
But you! You came in
and brought it up again.
And made him died.
You like these drugs so much, right?
So have you taken them all?
You like it?
You feel exhausted?
You'll be paralyzed for a while.
What happened? Doctor! Doctor!
Are you all right?
I'm fine. I'm OK.
Do you want someone to help?
No! There's nobody left.
Help me put her on the wheelchair.
What's this, doctor?
After killing you,
I'll take care of that nurse
I'll make them think
that you killed her
I warned you not to cause any trouble
but you didn't believe me
I tried to keep it a secret
for two years
I made it look like a suicide
so no one would link it to my son.
But you!
You damn well destroyed it all.
You ruined everything.
You destroyed my son, my life
and you're ruining your own life too
I'll take you to the roof deck
for some fresh air
before you jump.
You 'll do it yourself. I'll do nothing.
You take the drugs
and jump down.
Don't be afraid. It's not gonna hurt
not as much as I got hurt.
Not half as much as I still hurt.
Come here. Now you know pain.
You can't escape any longer.
Forgive me for cutting up your corpse.
Nobody must doubt me
I'll make your corpse very beautiful.
Let me go! No! Let go!
Why have you come here?
I'm not afraid of you.
You also destroyed my son
I won't let you be reborn again.
Nurse! Call the police now.
During my life
I never knew the true meaning
of the word mother.
Doctor Rudee was right
that whenever a woman
touches that little heart
she'll do everything to protect it.
So far
I still haven't learnt
how to be a good mother.
But I know that I'll live
a good life for him
I thought you were delirious
because of the drug.
But I believe you now.
Why?
The woman in the swamp comes
to find her baby.
Your friend may be her go-between.
She'll go when she gets what she wants
