I'm coming for you.
You're in the ordination hall, aren't you?
Novice,
come on out.
You're the last one left.
Regardless
you're gonna fucking die anyway.
Mom No.
It's all right, novice.
Just hang on a bit longer.
No.
It's almost over.
PRESENT DAY
You make such stupid moves.
How are we gonna win?
We've been playing for three days.
It's expensive,
and the game's freaking hard.
You two, stop yapping.
Look, we're at the final boss.
I believe in you.
Go for it.
You've got this.
Make it good, Jord.
Please. Make us win, win, win.
-Win! Win! Win!
-Win! Win! Win!
-Win! Win! Win!
-Win! Win! Win!
-Win! Win! Win!
-Win! Win! Win!
Did we do it?
-Sure.
-For real?
Way the hell over there.
Your throw was shit.
Damn it.
-Shit!
-Shit!
Skipping Buddhism class to gamble?
What were you thinking?
Ma'am, it's just a board game.
We weren't gambling.
Yeah, there wasn't money involved.
My shirt's about to rip.
And you too.
Is my Buddhism class that boring?
-Yes.
-Yes.
Tomorrow, 6:00 a.m.
All of you, meet me at school.
Tell your parents.
Get inside.
I'll be docking points from all of you.
All done. Try to avoid getting it dirty.
And keep it dry for one to two days.
Thank you, Doctor.
You're welcome.
Students attend
dharma camp tomorrow
Any questions
contact Ms. Au
Damn, I begged my mom
to let me sleep over.
I wanted to play all day.
Au has to show up and ruin it.
Just get it over with and hurry back.
We can play till dawn.
Damn it. Our Four Legends party flopped.
How can Four Legends
only have three people?
A moron like you won't get it.
I'm planning ahead.
Since it's only three of us,
there are some games we can't play, right?
You're always tripping me up.
Here he is, the key man.
He will be the keeper of the sacred token,
which is the symbol of our gang.
Ouch!
Jord, you ass!
Pick me up at the temple tomorrow night.
They're taking us there to meditate.
So you're gambling at school now?
You're lucky it was Ms. Au.
You got off easy.
She called you?
Doesn't matter if she did or didn't.
Is it so hard for you to focus on school?
Start acting your age.
You stop acting like Mom.
It's only a short detour.
Just behind the market.
Drop me off first,
my mom's gonna freak out.
Don't hit me while I'm driving.
We'll crash.
Jord, the cops are behind us.
Sarge, take his keys.
You again, huh?
Arms out.
What else are you gonna check, Sarge?
My piss?
Watch that filthy mouth of yours.
I already threw your brother in jail.
You're not far behind.
What?
My keys.
Pay the fine first.
Then you can come get it. Go.
Let's go.
Jord, you forgot your bag.
Sir, he's just a kid.
Why are you so hard on him?
Sergeant, you're new here.
You don't know anything.
That boy's nickname is Cutter Jord.
-You can go now, Duan.
-Yes, ma'am.
Come on.
Follow me.
Ton.
Ton.
Ton!
Shit.
Ton.
Didn't you say you weren't into it?
Seriously?
Sit up straight.
Skipping Buddhism class to gamble.
Be lively,
like when you're playing those games.
You don't sleep when you're supposed to.
Sit upright.
You'll sit here
until you recognize your mistakes.
Shit, I've got a cramp!
Are you faking it?
Of course not, ma'am. It really hurts.
Come on, sit.
Scrub it clean.
Stop being so dramatic. Work harder.
Do it properly.
If there are more misbehaving kids,
I'll have to impose on you again.
Their parents will pick them up
in the evening.
Just have them wait
in front of the ordination hall.
Yes, Venerable Sir.
I'll take my leave.
I have an errand to run.
Venerable Sir,
do you have a saw at the temple?
What do you need it for?
To cut down those trees.
We can start with this one here.
If we cut it down,
there'll be fewer leaves.
Problem solved.
I'll get my friends to help.
Do you think it's a good idea?
I'm sorry.
Man, I'm exhausted!
One day of this, and I'm wiped.
No way I'm ordaining when I'm 20.
If she really wants me to,
she better buy me a PS5.
I pity her for having a son like you.
If she wants a ticket to heaven,
she's gotta make an investment.
What's your deal with my mom?
Damn, you keep going there.
Ben, are you sure
you told your sister 6:00 p.m.?
It's nearly 7:00.
You think she forgot?
Why? You scared?
Keep acting tough.
You guys don't know shit.
Back in the day, at this temple,
a woman went crazy.
She hanged her son
who had ordained as a novice.
Rumor has it that she
was possessed.
Even to this day,
people say they can hear the novice
running back and forth, howling.
-Damn it, Priktai!
-Damn it, Priktai!
I saw something run inside,
so I went to check it out.
The novice.
I knew it was real.
A ghost?
Why you gotta say it?
Those things aren't real.
Don't be stupid.
Whoa.
Should we follow her?
Why should we?
Ever watched a horror movie?
Whoever hears a strange noise
and follows it always ends up dead.
And besides,
Priktai
is she even human?
I heard Kay from Room 6 say that
Priktai died in a car crash last year.
But she doesn't know she's dead.
Haunting shit.
Ow!
You're making shit up.
That's utter nonsense.
You think a ghost
went to class with us all year?
And got straight "A"s in every subject?
I even copied off of her.
What grade did you get?
I got a D.
That proves it. Duped by a ghost.
Come help me.
Guys, let's leave.
Ton, don't chicken out.
Damn it, Ben.
I don't think we should open it.
There must be a reason
why it's been hidden away.
Ton, maybe there's something
really cool inside.
Oh, come on.
If it sucks,
we'll just put it back, that's all.
It's a board game.
A 12-sided die with Thai numbers on it.
It's kinda strange.
Shit.
It's freaking Dungeons & Dragons.
Hey, let me see!
The spaces moved
according to the die. Look.
I got a six, right?
Then it moved six spaces.
I'm guessing that
it's a cross-the-finish-line game
like Snakes and Ladders.
The spaces that move
are based on our die roll.
Wait, why didn't it move?
Let me try.
I think the game knows
whose turn it is.
So then,
since the board has four lanes
Yeah, we need four people to play.
Hey. Look at the die.
Shit. How did the numbers disappear?
What is it now?
"Fir"
"Firs First"
"First one has ap"
"First one--"
You're old as fuck and still can't read.
Give it here.
Here, Ben.
"First one has appeared"
Why the poetic mood all of a sudden?
"A single limb"
Ben.
Just read it.
"First one has appeared. Beware."
"Do not linger on earthly matters."
"A single limb leaps from front to back."
"Its fangs sink deep in the flesh,
ripping its prey to shreds."
Shit.
When we came in,
which way were the statues facing?
Hey, who's there?!
-Jord, what are you doing?
-Don't do it.
Come out, or else
Freaking hell, Jord. Jord!
No!
What the hell is that?
Holy shit.
Shit.
Windows. Shut the damn windows.
Shut the windows.
Whoa!
Why are you standing there?
I'm outta here.
-I'm outta here!
-Ton!
I told you guys
not to go inside the ordination hall.
You're messing with shit
you don't understand.
Shit!
Ton!
-Ton!
-Ton!
Get up, Ton.
-Jord, quick!
-Jord, hurry up!
-Go! Run!
-Jord, hurry!
Damn it, Ben, easy. I'm wounded.
Hurry, Jord.
Hurry!
Go!
Shit, it's coming.
Go faster.
Get outta here.
Bell.
Get in the truck, hurry.
No, how could we?
I just hit someone.
Trust me, it's not what you think.
Get in, I'll explain later.
Come on, get in the truck.
Get in.
What the hell is your sister doing?
-Bell, go!
-It's getting up!
Ben, hang on tight.
What are you doing?
Go!
I meant go forward!
Come on! Go!
Would you look at that!
A cutting board, huh?
You're still young, don't get into drugs.
Just saying.
Kids these days are mean.
What was that thing?
A ghost.
It came out of the game.
"Chronicle of the Occult Affairs."
"Inscription 275:
The Royal Chamberlain
found a mysterious board game."
"A portal between the realms
of wandering spirits and humans."
"It was created by a practitioner
of heretical black magic."
"Thus, the board was sealed away
in the Chamber of Sorcery."
"Should anyone make the mistake
of starting the game
it will only end
when a player reaches the slot
at the center of the board."
"If no one succeeds
before the break of dawn
all shall meet their doom."
Everyone, stay calm.
It's only 8:00 p.m.
We've got lots of time before dawn.
Damn it!
I should've asked the monk for amulets.
If it's a matter of amulets
I never thought the stuff Mom collected
would come to use one day.
Can we really depend on these?
We were in the ordination hall,
and it still managed to get in.
You know nothing, Priktai.
I can tell that Ben's mom's stuff is real.
But first
we need to do it right.
Go right.
Yeah, right there. There, yes.
Fortune Yantra, I'm saved.
Jord, can you go higher?
Everyone, repeat after me.
Namo Buddhaya.
-Namo Buddhaya.
-Namo Buddhaya.
Atta hi.
-Atta hi.
-Atta hi.
Attano natho.
-Attano natho.
-Attano natho.
Wait, that phrase means
"The self is one's own refuge."
Really?
Bell.
What?
I'm sorry.
You mean, for all of this?
Forget it.
Just finish the game.
You know, you can go back to college.
I'll be a sophomore soon.
You think you can do it?
Then start by washing your own underwear,
so girls won't laugh at you.
Quiet.
Know-it-all.
I'm gonna roll now.
"This demon is wicked, it's so sly."
"Controlling and bending your mind."
"Don't stand in doubt or hide in fear."
"If you get possessed
you will become vile and corrupt."
Focus
Ben,
your sister
Ben, run!
Ben, run!
Bell?!
-Bell, what's wrong?
-Bell!
Move aside.
Bell.
Bell!
How does it feel to get stabbed,
Cutter Jord?
Ton!
Ben.
Over here.
Ben.
Ben.
I'm outta here!
-Ton!
-Ton!
-Let me out!
-Ton!
Ton!
Ton!
Bell.
Ben.
Ben, don't be scared.
When the game is over,
we'll be back with Mom, Ben.
Ton.
Bell, no!
I'm begging you
leave my sister's body.
Don't take my sister, I'm begging you.
Leave her body.
Ben, run.
Ben, run!
Sorry, Ben.
I had to do it.
Ben
I know you're worried about your sister.
But the only way to save her
is to finish this crazy game.
You want us to continue playing?
If we don't, we'll die.
You really believe everything
that damn note says?
But Priktai has a point.
I'm not like you guys.
I'm not as daring.
We're all gonna die anyway.
Wouldn't it be better
to just wait for dawn?
But I can't wait for dawn.
Ton
let's just finish the game.
You're really gonna do it?
Then let's show them
how badass
the Four Legends really are.
Let's fuck them up.
If the amulets won't work,
how can we fight back?
I noticed something
when the ghost came of out the game.
Normally, we can't touch ghosts, right?
But remember how the note said
this game is a portal
between our world and theirs?
That means, by playing the game,
we're basically opening the portal
for them.
So, they can attack us.
And vice versa.
We can attack them too.
Did you get that, Jord?
Why'd I even ask? He's totally spaced out.
Shit.
My brother's gun.
He hid it before the cops got him.
Every time a card pops out,
we know the ghost is going to appear.
It's like a hint.
It comes out after you roll.
It comes out because Priktai rolls?
No.
It comes out
because we've finished playing a round.
Look, the numbers on the die are back.
And here, they've disappeared
for exactly one hour.
That means
I gotta fight ghosts for an hour?
Let's do this.
Damn it.
"Spirits of the deep wild woods
dwell within the branches."
"The trees themselves will hunt."
"Those who grow careless
may lose their lives."
You should have cut down the trees.
Looks like a world-class botanical garden
Ben!
Get
Get off me!
Ben!
Jord.
Shit, Ben. Move.
Ben!
Move.
You bastard!
Ben, I'm sorry.
Wait for me, damn it!
Ben, wait.
Wait for me.
Ton.
Ton, the bullets.
Priktai!
Jord.
-Ben!
-Ben!
Priktai.
Ton!
Ton.
God damn it!
Ton!
Ton.
Damn, Ton.
Die, you weed!
You're so dead.
Son of a bitch!
Damn, why are there
so many incidents tonight?
Pao, how are we supposed to know
where the gunshots came from?
I think they came from this house.
We're not gonna make it
if we keep fighting like this.
I think we should fight that one.
Gun.
Your gun!
Jord, hurry up.
I can't hold on much longer.
Where did it go?
Shit!
Jord, pull it.
You gotta set it on fire, Ben!
That damn brat.
Brought his friends to a theft,
and even hurt his own sister.
You see what I mean, Suar?
Don't let his age fool you.
Are you all right?
If so, I'd like to ask you a few things.
What did they do?
My little brother
brought his friends over.
I don't know what they came for,
but when I resisted, they attacked me.
Can you give a statement at the station?
I'll take you to the hospital after.
Let's go.
The suspects are three teenage boys
and one teenage girl.
Code 20-1 is responding on site.
Dude!
You sure you can drive?
I'll try.
Is it too late to bail?
Let's go to the station.
Hey!
Stop right there!
Stop, or I'll shoot!
Hey, stop!
Stop!
Floor it!
Are you okay?
Now that we have a vehicle,
we can just drive off
if anything comes out of the board.
Will it be that easy?
It's worth trying.
The first time we got away
was because of the truck, right?
Yeah, you're right.
Ready to go on?
Let's get ready.
Jord, you better roll it good this time.
If you lose the die, I'll kill you.
Go ahead, Priktai.
"Wings spread wide
across the midnight sky,
never bound to the earth below."
"Should the drifting wind be felt
the hunt has surely begun,
waiting to devour its prey."
-Jord!
-Ton!
Damn!
I'm doing my best.
Shit, my head's burning.
Priktai.
What the hell are you doing?!
Ben, hit the damn thing.
Hang on.
Hey.
Priktai, hold on.
Did you get it?
SHARP CURVE AHEAD
Dad?
Mom?
Mommy.
Mom.
Mommy.
Mom!
Mommy
Mommy, wake up.
Mom, wake up!
Mommy!
Help!
Help, please
Mom.
Mom!
Ben?
Ben.
Ben!
Ben, wake up.
Ben.
Ben!
Shit.
Hey, are you all right?
Go help Ben first.
Damn it, Jord.
Hurry.
Be careful, Ben.
It's all right. I can walk now.
We're almost at the finish line.
If we cross it before Priktai's turn,
if I roll higher than a six,
the ghost won't come out.
But what if it doesn't end there?
We don't have any weapons left.
What about this gun?
It's out of bullets.
Damn it!
Ton, the gun.
Shit.
Hey!
Drop your weapons.
Hands where I can see them.
Now.
Now!
Pao, they're just kids!
You there!
What are you holding behind your back?
Hands up!
Looks like they're unarmed.
What's that in your hand?
Drop it.
Drop it!
You wanna die?
I said, drop it.
Drop it, or I'll shoot.
Drop it, kid.
Shit, it's a four.
Sergeant, cuff them.
Let's go.
I didn't do anything!
BAN NA WONG POLICE STATION
Come on.
Let's go!
Pao, what's with these kids?
These kids teamed up
to rob this boy's sister.
Rotten kids already, huh? Unbelievable.
They need to be locked up and forgotten.
Take them for questioning.
Move.
Damn it, my life's over.
Never thought I'd end up behind bars.
Do you think they'll believe us?
I'd be crazy to believe them.
They're definitely high.
I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't.
That sergeant
He still thinks I stabbed someone.
Don't be scared, kids.
I'm just here to talk to Jord.
How's it going, Jord?
Have you visited your brother
in jail lately?
I'm talking to you.
Answer me, asshole!
Say something!
Get up.
I said, get up and speak!
What's your mouth for if you won't talk?
Your brother's just a lowlife criminal.
Speak up.
Hit me back! Do it!
Come on, talk!
Where are you going? Answer me!
You scared, huh? Scared of me?
It was an accident.
But no matter what I said,
no one believed me.
Maybe it's because of how I look,
or the fact that my brother's in jail.
People see me that way.
But sometimes I think
I might just be
who they say I am.
No way.
We know you well.
Yeah.
You're the biggest nerd I know.
Good thing those guys didn't know that.
I was bluffing, but it worked.
Damn.
Yeah,
I'm sorry I dragged you guys into this.
Now we're all screwed.
It's okay.
Actually,
I owe you an apology too,
for not warning you about the game.
It's not that I thought it was fake
but deep down,
I kind of wished it was real.
I hoped that ghosts
would come out of the board.
Because if ghosts were real
then maybe
I'd get to see my parents again.
All this time
you've been all alone.
Don't worry.
You're not alone anymore.
Which one of you is Ben?
Your sister's here to pick you up.
Don't forget, he's got to report back.
It's a serious case.
If he runs,
his guardian will be held responsible.
Ben,
let's go home.
-Ben!
-Ben, don't!
Hey!
Snap out of it!
If you don't,
I'll slit your sister's throat.
Come on.
-Ben!
-No!
-Jord!
-Jord!
Stop it! Let go!
-Let go!
-Hold them!
What's all this?
That's enough.
I'll be okay.
You think you're tough?
Hey, there are child protection laws.
Is that so?
You can't do this!
Shit!
It's over for us.
We're gonna die in here.
No board, but we've got the die.
We can still play, right?
The Four Legends never die.
Without the board,
I don't know what number I need to roll.
The board has 34 spaces,
but we need 35 to reach finish line.
We've already moved 24 spaces.
So
you need to roll 11 or more to win.
Eleven? Seriously?
Real confusing numbers.
You've got a 2 out of 12 chance.
That's about
a 17% chance.
Shit.
How'd you remember that?
I've been counting since the first roll.
You're such a nerd.
Well, at least there's still a chance.
You got this, Jord.
You can end the game.
Hey, Pao.
Pao.
The board moved on its own.
You've been listening to them too much.
You're losing it.
Damn. Not even close.
I'll finish it myself, bro.
What do I need?
-A 12.
-God damn!
Pao.
Pao.
Hey.
Suar,
if you continue hallucinating,
I swear I'll send you for a drug test.
Are you insane?
I've got a lot of work left to do.
Shit! I'm even farther than Jord.
What do you need to roll?
A three.
Perfect.
That's an easy win.
End the game.
-Oh, Priktai!
-Oh, Priktai!
Pao
Pao.
I saw it.
Looks ancient. I don't trust it.
Don't touch it just yet. Stuff like this
Just tap it a bit so we can check it out,
see if anything happens.
Is there some kind of mechanism?
Whoa!
How did it get in there?
Hey, Pao.
Pao.
What kind of poem is this?
Hey! Why'd you drop it?
"A headless warrior from the grave
shall bring upon you endless dread."
"He swings his blade,
slaughtering all in his path."
"If you become his target, best not rest."
Hey.
What the hell was that?
How did it go out?
Hey, who is that?
I said, who is that?
Answer me, or I'll shoot.
Who are you?!
You got a death wish, huh?
Pao
What was that sound?
Hey!

-Shit!
-Shit!
My gun!
Holy shit!
Shit.
What do we do?
What now?!
Shit.
Damn it!
Let's go!
Come on, Pao!
The hell was that?
What if those kids were telling the truth?
The kids
Fuck.
Suar
Take the keys, go save them. Hurry.
Shit, it's coming in.
Pao, go!
Suar, go help the kids.
I'll join you soon. Go.
I'm coming for you.
Come on out.
Sarge!
Sarge!
Sarge
Damn it!
-Hurry up, Sarge.
-I'm trying. Hold on.
Son of a bitch!
Hurry up! Get out of there!
Bastard!
Damn you!

Which one, Sarge?
Sarge!
Shit.
Sarge!
Sarge!
-Sarge!
-Sarge, stay with us.
Jord.
Get out of here.
Stay strong, Sarge.
Damn it.
I'll get you, you bastard.
Hey, kid
You're still young.
Don't play with guns.
Take your bike keys back
and get your friends out of here.
Yes, sir.
Go.
Go.
Jord, we need to go.
Jord.
Go.
Jord, go.
-Jord.
-Go!
-Jord!
-Sarge!
We need to go!
You want my head?
Come and get it.
Ben, come be with Mommy, sweetie.
The three of us can be together.
You're such a liar.
You cheated, didn't you?
I made this game to win every round.
You beat me every time. Something's off.
Just admit it, you cheated.
That's bullshit. I didn't cheat.
Tell me, did you cheat or not?
I didn't.
Really?
Wanna know something?
What?
I lied. I was joking.
You little shit. I'm gonna kick your ass.
BEN - TON - JORD
TREASURE HUNTERS
Ben!
Ben!
Ben, man! Ben!
Ben?
Ben! Ben?
Hey, Ben.
It's your turn now.
Roll the die.
Forget it.
My mom and sister are waiting for me.
But, Ben
we're about to win, man.
Ben!
-Ben!
-Ben!
-I've got her.
-Ben!
-It's your turn, Ben.
-Roll the die!
Ben, it's your turn to roll!
Hold her back!
Ton, grab her!
Bell, stop it!
-Jord, grab her!
-I got her.
-Damn it!
-Ben!
-Lock it!
-Ben!
Find something to lock it!
Go on! Go!
-Go!
-Just go!
-Get the die!
-Go find the die!
Ton, keep it closed. We're about to win.
Grab that chair.
Damn it, Jord, hurry!
Where's the die?
Did you find it?
Not yet. Help me look for it.
Why is it so hard to find?
Ben.
Knife.
Ben.
Found it.
Priktai?
Mom.
How are you? Are you okay, dear?
I'm sorry.
If I hadn't wanted
to meet my friend that day
this wouldn't have happened.
Everyone died because of me.
I miss you both so much.
Don't cry, my baby.
We'll be together now.
Priktai
Don't give in, Priktai.
Don't do it, Priktai.
Don't you dare give up yet.
Fight it.
I really can't be with you right now.
Why not?
My friends are waiting for me.
Priktai
You're not my parents!
You
You wretched kid.
Ben, the die
You dare?
Hmm?
Make your choice then.
No!
You think I don't know
that brats like you
love to play tricks.
Then your sister's body
will be mine.
You're that desperate to save her?
You want to know how much she hates you?
I don't know how much she hates me
but I do know how much I love her.
And another thing
stay the hell out of my family's business.
Six o'clock.
-Six o'clock.
-Six o'clock.
Yes!
We made it.
Does it hurt?
Priktai.
As the leader of the Four Legends,
welcome aboard.
Yeah. Thanks, Ton.
Yo, you just got in,
yet you're already acting chummy?
Finally, we're a gang of four now.
Who said four?
There's five now.
Got it, Ton?
Wait a minute.
How am I gonna explain this mess
to my mom?
You can tell her
that we were playing a board game.

Sit tight. There's more delight.
