I have a good use for you.
Who the fuck are you, man?
I will keep you alive if you give me your allegiance.
My allegiance?
Choose now
Seriously? Okay.
Why the hell not?
Wise.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are now landing in Bangkok.
I'm so glad we finally did this.
Jake, really? We just got off the plane.
Just one second.
On vacation means no phone.
When are we going to see Grandma?
Soon, pumpkin.
Are we spending the night with her?
No, we have our own hotel.
Why not?
Because Grandma is not used to having such a lively houseful.
Yeah, I think we're loud at times.
Can I, can I, can I?
- Go - Ok, talk to you later.
- Look, this is where I grew up. - So cool.
We'll have so much fun here.
- Mom, come on. - Loo!
- Loo. - I never want to leave this place.
Can we explore the city right now?
Wow, we are really high up.
They say we could see the river from our window.
Look, Mom, there it is. Can we go see it?
Yeah, as soon as your dad's ready.
I'm all yours.
- OK, listen, I've got to go. I've got to go. - Look!
- Isn't it pretty? - Yes.
You can go back to the hotel and finish your business or whatever
and we'll find you.
It's my job, Prang.
Yeah, but we are your family. Priorities, Jake.
They need me.
We need you
Yeah.
- Let's go - Mom, Dad, come on!
When you were a street cop, you weren't on the phone all the time.
Come on, baby. I'm working on this. It's gonna get better.
Life's not a destination, Jake.
It's what happen here and there.
Who said that?
I don't remember, but it's true.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
No, he said life's a journey, not a destination.
Well, same thing.
Stop try to change the subject.
- Where is Loo? - She was just here. Um...
Loo. Loo.
Loo?
Loo!
I found her. I found her.
- Where is she? - She's up there.
That's a beautiful butterfly.
I found her! Loo, what are you doing?
I told you not to wander off.
- You know better than that - Sorry, Mom.
Thank you.
All is well that ends well.
Daddy, he said he knows you.
I don't think we've met.
Indeed we haven't, Jake.
How do you know my name?
- Did you tell you? - No.
Mommy, isn't it the most amazing butterfly ever?
Come on.
Jake!
Our meeting is no accident.
It was destined to happen.
You're the one, born in death, under a blood moon.
You're the Keeper of the Gates.
Look, I'm grateful you found our daughter.
You'll be faced with great challenges soon
and you will lose everything.
Sorry, what?
In the darkness you will find the light
and in that light, you'll find your family's love.
And Jake, this is what will free you.
Look, I'm not sure what this is about.
You've got the wrong guy. I don't even live here.
Thanks for watching my daughter.
What did he say?
I'm not sure. He seems confused.
Mommy, can we go see Grandma now?
Yes, but let's get her a gift first, OK?
Let's get Grandma a great gift, shall we?
- Chocolate, right? - Yeah.
Thanks, Dad.
- Dad - Yes, pumpkin.
When we get home, can I have karate lessons?
Karate? What about your ballet class?
Ballet isn't cool. Karate is cool.
Mom learned when she was young and you learned at police academy
I wanna learn it too.
We did not learn karate, honey.
But I don't see why not, sure.
We'll sign you up when we get back.
And you have to come to all of my practices.
OK, I'll try.
Pinky swear.
Swear it, Dad.
- Pinky swear. - Pinky swear is the strongest swear ever.
You can't break a pinky swear.
I remember now. It's pretty serious.
Chocolate, seriously?
Oh my God, you have it all over your shirt. Right before seeing Grandma.
OK, toilet we're gonna clean you up. Let's go.
Jake.
Come on.
Sorry.
I'm fine. Absolutely fine.
It's very good.
Good morning, everyone!
Jake, what's happening?
Get back. Hide. I have to leave now.
No, no, you are coming with us.
I'll come and get you. And if not, meet back at the room.
- What? No. - Daddy.
It's gonna be okay. Don't be scared, honey.
No, you will come with us.
What about these people? Somebody has to help them.
What about us? Why does it have to be you?
- Because I'm here, they need me. - We need you, Jake.
Trust me. It's gonna be OK. I promise.
- Jake! - I promise.
Daddy.
There, there, can you get in?
Nobody else here?
Get down
This is so cool.
Hi, my name is Mitsy. Can we be friends?
Freeze.
Drop your weapon.
Is this...
an American accent?
I said drop your weapon.
Hello, American, it's so nice to meet you.
Hell is coming, American.
And you can't stop it.
You have a very nice family.
I wish I could eat chocolate ice cream with your daughter.
You must be such a proud daddy.
This is the last time I'm gonna ask you.
Put your weapon down or I will kill you.
This American is going to kill us. Run, run! Shh!
Don't worry. I'll fix it, I'll fix it.
You are scaring Mitzy. Be nice.
You're sick.
Hey, stay calm. Put your phone down.
Come out and play with me, American. Come.
- You're insane! - I'm not. She is!
I thought we were friends.
You are but you're not well at all.
You shot me.
It's over.
I'm a cop.
I want to personally thank you.
Thank for killing me.
You are going to hell.
The ritual is complete.
He said the Keeper will be here.
What did you just call me?
I...
I just thought that honestly you'll be much taller.
I really like your jacket.
Get back. Get back.
We have to go. Loo, we have to go.
Police. The police are here. They're gonna help us.
Loo, come on, let's go.
Loo! Loo, come here.
Let's go.
Mom, no.
- Mom, no. - Trust me, okay.
Mom, help.
Loo.
Help!
Loo.
- Loo! Loo! - Help.
Loo!
Are you OK?
Yeah, I think so.
I'm Arat.
Jake.
Jake, I don't know how we survived that blast.
Sure as shit we got lucky.
Where are all the bodies?
Come on, come on, come on.
Go! Go, go, go.
Stay, stay.
Come on.
- We're getting on a bus, OK? - OK.
Mommy, what's happening?
Keep running.
Come here.
Mommy, I'm scared.
I know, I know, I know.
Loo, let's keep our voices down, OK?
OK?
Do you think Daddy is okay?
Yeah.
Do you think he still gonna meet us at the hotel?
Of course he is.
That crazy shooter guy exploded
and knocked us out, right?
That's what happened.
You saw him explode?
Yeah.
Then where is his body?
And what about all the people he killed?
These people just died. You were there with me.
You saw the bodies, right?
- It just happened. - Yeah.
Then why are these stains old?
This is so freaking weird.
Panicking right now is not gonna help us.
Hello, is there anyone here?
There's someone here.
Over here.
Put your weapon up.
Listen, it's going to be alright.
We're here to help.
Shit.
What the...?
Prang, Loo.
Prang? Prang?
Prang!
Now we have to stay calm, OK?
I mean we're gonna go back to the hotel
and wait for your dad, OK?
- You can do that, right? - Yeah.
Yeah.
What about Grandma?
Pumpkin, Grandma's house is on the other side of the city.
The hotel is so much closer.
You could call her and make sure she is okay.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
Okay.
What?
Strange. I...
I've got no signal.
- Why doesn't it have-- - I don't know.
- Mommy. - Loo. Stop asking questions.
Mommy, quiet voice.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I'm... I'm gonna try the phone at the counter.
Okay, you wanna come with me?
No? Okay.
You stay here. I'm gonna be right over there.
Okay? Stay.
Loo.
Prang. Loo.
Stop, stop, stop.
Come on.
Go, go, go.
Get down.
Look, there are normal people in the bus.
Okay, let's go.
Come on. Let's go.
She did it. She did it.
My mom did it.
- No! - Mom! Mom!
Mom! Mom!
What the hell?
Mom, what's going on?
- Loo. - Yeah.
We have to get off this bus, OK?
Okay.
Come with me.
What the hell?
The praeta can't hurt you in here.
Who are you?
If you want to see your wife and daughter again.
I suggest you follow me.
Hey, what do you know about my family.
You know where they are?
Follow me.
Close the door.
You. You were with my daughter there. The monk in the park
I am Chan.
You have questions. Yes?
I'm dreaming, right? This is...
This all a nightmare.
I'm afraid not.
If I'm not dreaming then where am I?
This is my room.
A safe retreat in the Hindrance.
The what?
Come on. Have a seat.
How do I put this? It's another reality.
A realm between heaven and hell.
A place for those who lost their ways.
Like limbo, purgatory.
You are here in the Hindrance.
because you are held accountable for your actions.
Accountable for what? What are you talking about?
Only you will know the answer.
Why do you bring me here? What do you want?
So tell me. Tell me what you remember
about the shooting in the mall.
Did he say anything?
My master has risen and will be here.
He's damn crackhead.
What did he say?
He called me the Keeper.
You called me that in the park.
Yes, the Keeper of the gates.
Gates of hell.
What?
You helped him finish the blood ritual.
And by doing so, you have opened the Gates of Hell.
Now hell's demons are free to roam the Earth.
Possessing the weak, collecting souls.
It's only a matter of time before my father returns with all his strength.
Your father?
Wichien, a very powerful Necromancer.
He's the one behind who orchestrated all of this.
You were destined to be at the mall at that time.
My father knew it. I knew it too.
So he put Mek to the murders in the mall.
Mek.
He was a servant of my father.
Fueling the ritual and ultimately
sacrificing himself as an offer for the Keeper.
When you killed Mek, you completed the ritual. Yes.
Soon the gate of hell will be completely opened
and if that happens then there's no turning back.
But there is still time.
Since you opened the gate, you could close it.
Why me? Why am I the Keeper?
You might have died at childbirth.
You were born in her death
And that happened beneath the blood moon.
You blamed yourself for her death.
I'm not this... This Keeper.
You're the one. There's no denying your destiny.
I don't know what's happening here.
I don't know what's to believe. I just want to find my family.
And you will.
After you help me with this task.
You know where they are?
Your wife and your daughter, they are on the way back to hotel room.
You will not find them out there, not without my help.
By closing the Gates of Hell you will be saving them too.
We have very little time.
As we are speaking, my father is gaining strength from every soul taken.
Close the gate of hell, stop your father from returning.
Then you'll help me find my family.
Yes, I will.
- Where is this gate? - I'll show you.
Come on. Come on.
Loo, come on. Loo
Mom.
Loo, come on.
You're OK?
Oh my God.
Call Grandma.
I can't. The line's dead.
Why are all the phone's dead?
I don't know
but we have to stay calm.
OK?
Can you do that for me?
Calm. I can stay calm.
- OK. - Good.
What now?
We wait for your dad.
- Where are we going? - To find Mek.
But I killed him. I watched him die.
Mek will lead us to his master, my father.
There we'll find the fissure and close the gate.
Why does your father need Mek?
Because he's powerless in your world.
Before my father became a Necromancer
he was a monk serving his master, Phra Kejiran.
Greedy with power my father stole two of his master's scriptures.
The scripture of arch eternity and scripture of soul energy absorption
But these scriptures are not meant for eyes
that's not been properly prepared.
These scriptures consumed him. The more knowledge he gained
the more it devoured his physical body.
Realizing his own body is failing, Wichien grew desperate.
He tried to use power he learn from scripture to occupy another body.
and take it for himself,
the body of his own son.
Chan.
Chan!
His wife intervened, saving their son.
Wichien's soul was exiled from this reality.
He had lost his power in the physical realm.
And in the failed possession, he left the gift to his son,
his knowledge of scripture of arch eternity and soul energy absorption
If I could return it, I would.
Jake, we don't have time.
No. She needs help.
It's too late to help her.
Jake. Jake!
Jake!
Are you OK?
Where are we?
I... I don't know...
I don't know where I am.
I have seen you before.
What? Where?
Listen to me. Stay calm.
The mall.
You don't remember?
- That crazy guy... - It's okay.
Shooting all those people in the mall.
Yes, yes.
- He killed everyone. - I know.
I was trying to call my boyfriend.
Ex-boyfriend.
And I cheated on him
with his best friend.
I feel terrible.
What is that?
- What's happening? - Follow me.
What's happening? Wait for me.
Come on.
Oh my God.
No!
I saw her in the mall.
She was... Mek killed her.
She didn't know she die.
This is common for a lost soul when they enter the Hindrance.
They don't remember the transition and how they arrived.
That was her soul?
Yes.
Then that thing...
The Praeta devoured her soul.
The horror of living in the Hindrance...
will feed upon the lost.
And they do a pretty good job.
Does that...
Does that mean I'm...
You were killed during explosion.
- No. - Jake.
No, no, no.
No. No, no, no, no.
No, that's not what happened.
- I'm sorry, Jake - No! No! No!
How am I going to save my family now?
So I'm a ghost?
A lost soul.
You no longer have a physical presence in this reality.
What about you? Are you a ghost?
These scriptures have given me the ability to travel between realities.
I could be physical there as well as here.
If I'm dead then it's over for them. It's over.
Over. It's not over for you.
Only this chapter is over.
You said when I first got here
I was here in Hindrance because I was held accountable for something
Yes.
That girl back there,
she cheated on her boyfriend before she was killed.
Is that why she was here?
That was her baggage.
That's why she's in the Hindrance.
And what's mine? Why am I here?
Why am I here?
You were the youngest to make sergeant in your town.
Very ambitious.
You think that's my baggage?
I chose my job over my family?
I gave that up. I changed my career...
to spend more time with them.
And yet you did not. Why is that?
Come on, Jake. We've got to find Mek
Is he here?
No.
He's in your former reality.
How am I going to stop him if I'm the spirit.
We'll need a portal and a vessel for you.
I'll show you.
Prang!
Prang, open the door.
Let me in, Prang.
Jake?
It's me, honey. I'm coming.
Let me in.
Oh my God.
There it is. That's our portal.
- It's an Ega pak lek. - What?
A demon, pretty nasty one.
She's been hunting us for a while.
- They we should run. - No, we can't just run here.
That will make her more furious.
Now, Jake.
What now?
No sudden move. We are close.
The portal is up there.
- No. - Jake, come on.
Hold my hand.
Where did the demons go?
They are creatures of the spirit world.
They are not physical here.
They are not a threat until they possess a physical vessel.
Let's get out of here.
What the hell?
I'm sorry, Jake.
It's the best I can do under such a short notice.
Why am I in a dead body?
Because you need a vessel,
a physical body to be in this world.
So I'm a spirit in someone's body?
I'm afraid that's the only way you can interact with this physical world.
Why did I not realize it before? I...
Mirror shows the true self of a vessel...
that can't be tricked like you trick your mind.
That's why you did not even notice the difference.
I do now.
I'm stiff, I hurt everywhere, my chest is killing me.
That killed him.
Jake, come and sit down. I'll take care of you.
- Honey - Yeah.
- We have to leave the city. - Why?
It's dangerous.
So we need to move to some place else.
Some place safe.
Where?
So many questions.
All these... All these questions.
Daddy, are you okay?
No, I'm not.
I've been hurt.
Badly.
We are close.
- Jake - What's this?
For Mek if we find him.
From now on that weapon won't be very effective
in our unique situation.
His new body is really bad.
I have only two weapons that could harm him.
This is an ancient flintlock with summon bullets
made from very special metal.
If you shoot Mek with it. It should kill him.
And the other one?
And this is a nona metal knife.
It's composed of nine metallic elements
and can cancel dark magic.
I'm forbidden to take a life with it
but that does not apply to you.
Alright, let's go.
- That's my hotel. - Yes.
Why are we at my hotel, I thought we are looking for this Mek guy.
Wait, Jake!
Do you need to go a hospital?
Yes, unfortunately all the hospitals have been overrun.
They are all burning now.
Because of the crazy people?
Crazy people?
Yes.
Honey, do you want to lie down
until we get you some help.
We don't have time.
The crazy people will be here soon.
And crazy people do crazy things.
Daddy, you hit your head.
Oh, yeah.
Let me make it better.
I brought you something.
Her name is Mitzy.
Elevator.
I have to take this.
That phone is dead.
It's not dead now.
Hello. Yes. I'm listening. Go ahead.
Honey, are you here? It's me.
Honey?
Why did we come here?
Why did he come after my family?
Mek is a twisted soul.
His insanity runs far beyond understanding and reason.
Jake, we need to hurry.
Dad! Dad!
Loo! Loo!
Prang? Loo?
Oh my God. I found you.
Prang. Loo.
Ah!
I told you. I like your jacket.
You.
It's only a matter of time before I made it mine.
Why are you doing this?
Because I can.
You took my life and I took yours.
It's a fair trade.
I get your jacket and your sweet wonderful family.
We'll spend quality time,
eat chocolate ice cream together
Jake, let's go.
Daddy, get away from the monster.
It's okay, honey. Daddy will protect you from the scary monster.
- Okay? - Stay away from my family.
Your family? T
What the fuck are you talking about?
They're mine now.
You had your chance to be her daddy
but you failed.
Yeah, where were you when the fiery gates opened? Hm?
Were you there to protect her? No, I don't think you were.
What kind of daddy abandon her daughter in a world like that?
Yeah, she told me everything back in the room.
You are a deadbeat husband and a deadbeat daddy.
Really? You left your family to fend for themselves
because you have to go and be a hero of the situation.
Ah. Well. hero, what did that get you? Huh?
- It get you dead. - Go to hell.
Shameful. Just shameful.
You won't get away with it.
Oh no? But I already did.
When this is all over, I am going to show her...
No!
Stop.
Shoot him, honey. Shoot the monster.
Prang, it's me.
He's trying to trick you. Don't listen to him.
What?
Shoot him now. Shoot the monster.
- Mommy. - Stay back, Loo, I mean it.
Prang, I beg you. It's me.
Daddy, is that really you?
- Stay back, Loo. - Yes.
- I promise. - Then swear it.
You can't break a pinky swear.
It's the strongest.
Ah!
I shot him. I shot him.
It's gonna be okay now.
But I...
It's over.
Can we leave, please?
I know the perfect place.
Just wait here for a little bit.
Okay.
What are we waiting for?
- It's happening. Just hold on. - Mom. That's not Daddy.
Yes, he is. Yes, he is.
He's tricking you.
So would you like to follow me, my beautiful family.
Come.
- Ah! - You'll be alright.
I arrived before the Ega pak lek could seriously injure you.
and the nona metal knife is always effective against their kind.
And I'm glad you did not lose it.
Get ready, we have to leave.
I found the gate of hell.
I found this paper by the phone in the room.
It seems like our imposter friend
left some directions to a location.
It's an ancient rune from an ancient tongue
used by sorcerer of the old.
A tongue only my father and his servant can understand.
And I'm quite sure
your wife and your daughter have been brought there as well.
What are we waiting for?
For you, Jake. We're waiting for you.
You are the Gate Keeper.
You're the only one with the power to close the Gates of Hell.
So this is the place?
This is where Wichien's follower prepare for the final opening
of the gate on the other side.
That's it?
The Gates of Hell.
My family, I need to get to them, whatever the cost.
First, we have to find another portal inside.
And then we have to find you another vessel.
A powerful one.
Let me go.
Mommy, I'm scared.
What are you gonna ask me?
I told you it's a safe place.
Very safe.
Master, I have done as you recommended.
I've brought you the Blood of the Keeper.
You've done well.
Her blood should be enough to finish what they started.
- No - Yeah.
No, no, don't you dare touch her.
Hey, okay, okay.
Allow me to introduce myself.
I am known as Wichien.
When you are on the other side,
you need a nona metal knife.
Let's go.
Are you ready, Jake?
Yes.
Let me go. No!
You have the blood of the Keeper in your veins.
Strong enough to finish the ritual your father started.
With this sacrifice, the opening of the gate will be complete.
And with the opening, I claim the soul with it to serve me as god.
Loo!
[man yells
Come on.
Destroy him.
Send him back to the Hindrance.
Ah!
Jake, look out.
Jake, Jake, watch out!
Jake! Jake!
Jake
- Chan. - Hello, Father.
You can't stop me.
No, I'm forbidden from violence.
Unlike you, I respect my vow.
Does he know the whole truth?
There's only one way to shut the gate.
Chan, what is he talking about?
To close it, you have to pass through.
Either way, you're going to Hell.
Is this true?
I was hoping to try to find another way.
I'm sorry, Jake.
Daddy.
Hi, pumpkin.
- Oh no, honey. - I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Jake, I'm afraid we don't have much time.
I have to go now.
No, please.
It's the only way to help you.
I wish this could be different.
You're here now, okay?
Listen to me, Prang.
It's important.
I was afraid to love.
That's why I wasn't there for you.
And I'm held accountable for that now.
I not afraid anymore.
Daddy.
Yes.
Will you come back?
Yes, honey.
I will find the way back here.
Swear?
Pinky swear.
Take care of them until I get back.
I will. You have my word.
I will find the way back.
Yes, Jake. I know you will.
Your journey has just begun.
