The ignorance about the nature of
sensation, perception, formations, and spirits,
we call it Avidyā.
Ever since I've been a realtor,
I've never seen anything like this.
I've only heard of these things
but never thought I'd experience it first-hand.
The tenant has returned to their country.
I've emailed the pictures to them,
but they haven't replied.
You could sue for damages
but it probably won't be worth the time
and cost of the lawyer.
It'd be better if you fix it up yourself.
I don't have the means to.
The rent of the condo pays the mortgage.
Then why don't you fix it up a bit…
and move in yourself?
My client who was interested in your house's location
is still looking for a house.
I think I can get you 70-80K per month.
But…
I've talked to Kwin about this.
He won't agree with it.
That house belongs to Kwin.
Ing's House
Mommy.
Can I have three eggs?
I want to be so tall I can reach the stars.
How can you be that tall?
You must watch too many cartoons.
Eat up all your veggies
and I'll let you eat in front of the TV.
Ing, lower the TV volume, hon.
Kwin.
I'm going to let Tom
show the house to a potential tenant.
We've already talked about this.
I won't put our house up for rent.
We have a lot of stuff.
We can't move all of this into your condo.
But we could get
up to 70K a month for the rent.
And just letting a random person live in our house?
If the tenant is troublesome
then it's not worth the money.
But Tom told me
their background is good.
They're a family of doctors.
Wasn't the previous tenant a teacher?
That's why...
I want you to help screen them.
I think you should...
just sell the condo.
It'll be better than a foreclosure by the bank.
I don't want to sell it.
If I sell it now, it will be at a loss.
After renting it out all these years,
it'd be like pouring my efforts down the drain.
I'm asking you just one more time.
At least meet with them first.
If you don't like them, we won't rent the house out.
And I won't ever speak about this again.
Okay?
Ms Arpakorn, please come inside for your interview.
Expected salary, 45K
Hello?
Kwin, I'm still waiting for my interview.
Could you please take care of the tenant for me?
I'm afraid I won't make it in time.
Actually, Ning.
I don't want to rent the house out to anyone.
If you can't make it,
should we just cancel them?
No. We can't cancel them now.
Please. I'll be there soon.
Hurry home then.
Perhaps this book might be of help to you.
If I'm able to move into this house,
we will probably have a chance to talk more.
Oh, Ms Ning.
You've returned.
Yes.
This is Dr Nuch.
Hello.
And this is Ms Ratree, Dr Nuch's mother.
She's just retired from working at the hospital.
So, she'd like to find a rental house
and live with Dr Nuch here in Bangkok.
It's quiet and peaceful here.
Who would've thought it's in the middle of the city.
So…
when can we start renting?
Uh…
Next month is fine.
Great.
Let's look at the rental contract, shall we?
- Sure. - Good.
Here you are.
Ning!
Are you leaving already?
Yes, Aunty Phorn.
The ficus tree you asked for,
I'll text you to come get it later then.
Thank you, Aunty Phorn.
If the tenant cause any problems,
you can always give me a call.
Come visit when you have time.
I will.
- Good luck, hon. - Thank you.
Go.
Ing!
Aunty Phorn.
- Good luck, Ing. - Thank you.
- Bye. - Bye-bye.

Ready?
Ready.
If we're ready, let's go!
HOME FOR RENT
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you!
That's my girl!
I have a present for you too, Ing.
Open it. Let's see if you like it.
Why? Don't you like it?
This is Ms Bunny and her kitchen,
you told me you wanted it.
I already told you
I wanted the Guri doll, like this one.
With purple hair,
but wearing a blue princess dress.
They don't sell Guri dolls anymore, hon.
So, I don't know where to get one for you.
Did she just fall asleep?
Yeah, she's been having trouble falling asleep.
She's still not used to it, I guess.
Is that the book Ms Ratree gave you?
No, it’s a factory's mechanical manual.
That's some weird book, so I threw it away.
Tonight's hot. Wanna sleep inside together?
I'm used to it already.
I also snore loudly. It'll wake Ing up.
Thank you
for moving into the condo together.
Living here is good.
It's also closer to Ing's school.
She won't have to wake up so early.
You love her so much.
Should we have another?
Ning.
Hey.
When did you get a tattoo?
Well...
The other night I went to Khaosarn with my boss.
We were drunk and daring each other.
They said this tattoo was the least painful.
Hello, Miss.
- I'm Ing's mother. - Hi.
You gave them homework to do on their family tree, right?
Yes, that's right.
All right.
And it's due tomorrow?
Right.
Okay.
All right.
Hello, Dr Nuch.
How are you…
What are you doing here?
Well, I'd like to get something
from the storage room.
Ing needs our family pictures for her homework…
Sure.
Please come in.
Thanks.
Come on.
Okay.
Ms Ning?
Sorry.
It's fine.
Here.
Dr Nuch, the move was so sudden
I'm not sure if there is any mail…
There is.
Let me go fetch it for you.
Thanks.
Aunty Phorn: Drop by my place before you leave.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Sorry about that.
I thought they were mine.
So, I opened them.
It's fine.
Did they see you come over?
Do you mean Dr Nuch?
They don't seem to be like doctors.
They keep to themselves inside the house all day.
I've never seen them go out anywhere, ever.
Come take a look.
Do you see the crow's feathers over there?
It looks like some kind of black magic.
And…
every day at 4 a.m.
I always hear them
chanting something,
coming out from Ing's old bedroom.
And there was one night…
Baitoey, my doggie,
was howling non-stop.
So, I got up to take a look.
I saw a flock of crows
flying over your house.
Tons of them.
And in the morning…
I found Baitoey…
dead behind the house.
She was covered all over in blood.
Aunty Phorn.

Khemarak
Sorry, we couldn't find any results matching
'Ratree Khemarak' in our database.
Oh, no.
Kwin.
Why are you looking up Ms Ratree's name?
I want to know if she's really a doctor or not.
But I can't find her name in the database.
She's already retired.
Her name might have fallen off the list.
Is there something?
I think
they are kind of strange.
I dropped by to get something at the house today.
Dr Nuch didn't seem to want me to enter the house.
And look,
they opened our mail as well.
I'll take care of changing our mailing address, ASAP.
Oh, Kwin.
The tattoo you got, what's the symbol mean?
I don't know either.
I just thought it looked nice.
Did you know
Dr Nuch also has the same tattoo as yours?
Same one?
I wouldn't have thought it'd be so generic.
Nut
Calling Nut up
Hello.
Hello?
Hello, Ning. What's up?
Mommy, look at this.
Hello?
Nut, I have a favor to ask.
Could you help do a background check on my tenant?
Why?
Did they do something wrong?
It seems like they're a part of some kind of cult.
Did they do anything illegal?
Mommy.
There's someone in the room.
Who is it, Ing?
It's just a reflection in the mirror.
Go back to sleep, it's not morning yet.
Aunty Phorn sent a video.
Aunty Phorn: They're doing that ritual again.
Did they catch you recording?
Are you okay?
Kwin.
Who's there?
Kwin!
Why didn't you answer when I called you?
Where did you go?
I found a rat in the bathroom
so I caught it and released it downstairs.
If you went to release the rat,
why did you bring that book with you?
Oh...
I used it to cover the can I caught the rat in.
Eww. It's dirty.
Throw it away. Why are you keeping it?
Yeah.
I'm going to bed then.
I have to take Ing to school early tomorrow.
Mmm.
Aunty Phorn unsent a message.
Why did you delete the clip?
Hello, Ms Ning.
Are you here to visit Aunty Phorn?
She's not in.
I heard she went back to her hometown.
Aunty Phorn is from Bangkok.
And she doesn't have any relatives elsewhere.
Well, I don't know. That's what she said.
When she comes back,
I'll let her know you came to visit her.
Ing.
I told you when you come home,
put your things away properly.
It's 5:30 already.
Your iPad time is over.
Don't cry.
Ing, I've got a headache.
Let's order something to eat in, okay?
Ing, help Mommy bury it, okay?
Will it not wake up anymore?
Ing?
It's already dead.
Close the lid and put it into the hole.
Papa prepared it for you.
Ing.
You did well, hon.
Let Ms Bunny go to sleep…
Thank you.
I love you the most, Daddy.
Mommy, that's my doll!
Where did you get it from, hon?
Papa gave it to me for my birthday.
No.
I'm not going.
No.
I don't want to.
No.
I don't want to.
Are you having a nightmare, hon?
Does it hurt?
No.

Mommy.
Today can I have boiled eggs instead?
I'm tired of fried eggs.
Mommy.
Can I have hotdogs too?
Of course.
Let me use the bathroom real quick, okay?
Ning!
Did you take anything from my bag?
Uh…
what are you missing?
Ing, did you open Papa's bag?
I told you, right?
Don't mess with Papa's work bag.
I didn't do anything. I didn't open it.
Ing?
Ing.
Ing!
Mommy.
I'm here.
Ing.
Are you hurt, hon?
Where did she go?
That granny, where did she go?
What granny?
The one who's renting our house.
Wasn't she with you just now?
I just came down, Mommy.
Did she do this to you, huh?!
Where is she, Ing?
Where's that hag?!
Ing!
- Tell me where is she! - Ma'am.
Ma'am, please calm down.
Please stay calm.
Ing, let's eat out.
I'll go up to get something real quick.
Wait in the car, hon.
Why bring an overnight bag to dinner?
Ing, go sit in the car seat right now.
Where are you taking her?
Any place
where that freaky cult can't get to her.
Ning.
Wait.
Let's talk first.
What else is there to say?
That hag went to Ing's school today.
Are you imagining things?
I talked to her, she didn't meet with Ms Ratree.
If it wasn't her, then who would it be?
I saw her with my own eyes.
Who knows if she did anything to Ing,
that's why Ing couldn't remember.
Don't you see the bruise on her neck?
Mother didn't hurt Ing!
So you call her Mother now?
I'm giving you one last chance.
Tell me what she's planning to do with our child.
No one is doing anything to Ing.
How is that possible?
Aunty Phorn has also disappeared.
Who knows if they already killed her?
You can go wherever you want.
But Ing has to stay with me.
No.
Are you crazy?
You're the crazy one!
Be crazy, but don't drag Ing along.
Will Ing need to die before you wake up?!
Calm down, sir.
Ning.
- Stop it, sir. - Ning!
Sir, calm down.
Don't take her away, Ning!
Please don't take Ing away.
Ning.
Let go of me.
Ning!
Hello Ning.
Where are you now?
Hello?
I'm on my way to your house.
I should arrive there in half an hour.
Kwin is here looking for you and Ing.
Did something happen between you two?
Mom, don't tell him where I am.
Let me get to the hotel first and I'll call you.
Ing.
I don't want to stay here.
I'm going to go back to see Papa.
Ing.
We're not going back to Papa.
Let's to Grandma's…
No! I won't go to Grandma's.
I will go back to help Papa.
Help with what?
What does Papa want you to do?
Ing.
You can tell Mommy.
I won't be mad at you.
You can tell me, hon.
Ing.
What is it that Papa won’t let you tell me?!
Please tell Mommy, hon.
What does Papa want you to help with?!
Ing…
I tried searching the ID info from the database.
I think your tenant is suspicious.
Because
the numbers on her ID have been altered.
What?
Look here.
The 8
is actually a 3 that has been written over.
As for the 6, it's actually a 5.
After I got the real numbers,
I searched through the database
and found that the person renting your house,
her name isn't Ratree Khemarak.
But she is Napaporn Pongthewa.
She doesn't have any criminal records though.
So, the she forged a fake ID
to rent my house?
That's right.
It looks fishy.
Were you beaten up?
Are you done?
Uhh…
I'm Amm.
Nut's girlfriend.
Hello.
All right, then.
Thanks a lot, Nut.
If there's anything else, I'll update you then.
Okay.
Can you stop messing with Nut?
I don't have any feelings towards him…
But he does!
Ever since the day you called,
he's been busy with your business nonstop.
We're getting married.
You know what you should do, right?
Well…
And don't call anymore.
I'll have him block your number.
Uhh...
I…
Ing, honey.
Ing?
Ing.
Ing!
Did you see the girl in this room?
She left with her father.
Ma'am…
Ing.
Hello, Ms Ning.
Tom.
When did the tenant move out?
Oh.
Ms Ratree moved out yesterday.
Didn't Mr Kwin tell you?
Do you know
where they moved to?
They aren't answering their phones.
I think you should try checking the hotel again.
Maybe...
Mr Kwin just took Ing out for dinner
and has returned.
Sure.
Is it much further to their rental house?
It's not that much further.
I'll try calling Ms Ratree again.
Okay.
Hey, Ms Ning.
What's wrong?
Hold it, okay?
Ms Ning.
Hey!
What are you doing?
Don't get any closer!
Or else I'll call the police!
You're also a part of their cult, aren't you?!
What are you talking about?
Open the door right now!
Well, your wrist!
There's a tattoo just like theirs.
This tattoo?
And how did you know
I took Ing to the hotel?
The hotel's keycard is on the back of your phone.
I've stayed there before.
Please open the door, Ms Ning.
Your daughter is missing.
Where are you going?
Let go!
Where do you think you're going?!

Is it the one you wanted?
Go ahead.
Happy birthday, sweetie!
Let's see inside.
- Do you like it? - It's so cute.
- Do you like it? - I do.
You know, I ordered them

And your name, Jaa,
I stitched it with my own two hands.
I'll take extra care of it.
She'll be with me for another 500 years!
500 years?
Too bad I don't have a sister,

Thank you. I love you the most, Daddy.
Hey!
Can it record your voice as well?
Where do you press it?
Daddy, you're a dinosaur.
I won't tell you. Pfft.
A dinosaur, huh?
Is this where you press?
Maybe this is where you press?
Done.

Can I have 3 eggs?
I want to be so tall I can reach the stars.
You're going to perform on stage,
did you take a shower yet?
No, it's cold.
There's still time, sweetie.
Last night,
I already fixed the water heater.
You know how to fix it?
That's insulting.
I have an engineering degree.
You should have told me.
I'll go take a shower then.
Sure.
Oh, don't get your hair wet.

Daddy sucked at dancing, huh?
Look here, sweetie.
See what I found?
I'll put it on for you.
Why don't you eat?
Or did I make it too crispy?
If you don't like it, that's fine.
I'll make you some fried chicken instead, better?
Thank you. I love you the most, Daddy.
Hello, is Ms Phornchanok in?
There's no one here by that name.
But my boss told me Aunty Phorn already moved
into the house number 85…
Oh.
I'm sorry.
I got the wrong house.
Didn't you see it?
I'm truly sorry.
- I really didn't see it. - I meant…
there.
Oh, Gosh!
Dang it.
Here.
Thank you.
Uh, excuse me.
Do you already have insurance?
Did I get the steps right, Jaa?
Ing, who are you talking to?
I'm talking with Ms Bunny.
Well…
Finish getting dressed, hon.
Then go down to eat.
Okay.
Mommy.
Can I have 3 eggs?
I want to be so tall I can reach the stars.
How can you be that tall?
You must watch too many cartoons.
Eat up your veggies and I'll let you eat in front of the TV.

Ing, lower the TV volume, hon.
Hello?
Kwin.
I'm still waiting for my interview.
Could you please take care of the tenant for me?
I'm afraid I won't make it in time.
Actually, Ning.
I don't want to rent the house out to anyone.
If you can't make it,
should we cancel them?
No.
We can't cancel them now.
Please. I'll be there soon.
Hurry home then.
Here's the kid's bedroom.
This is the master bedroom.
Come in.
There's bathroom inside...
Is there something?
Everything happened so fast.
At least she wasn't in any pain.
Who are you talking about?
You would know better than me.
She left before her time.
Her spirit is still lingering around where she passed.
Perhaps this book might be of help to you.
If I'm able to move into this house,
we will probably have a chance to talk more.
Oh, Ms Ning.
You've returned.
This is Dr Nuch.
Hello.
And this is Ms Ratree, Dr Nuch's mother.
She's just retired from working at the hospital.
So, she'd like to find a rental house
and live with Dr Nuch here in Bangkok.
It's quiet and peaceful here.
Who would've thought it's in the middle of the city.
So…
when can we start renting?
Next month is fine.
That day we first met,
it's as if you can see my daughter's spirit.
Ing also seems to notice that Jaa is still around.
But why…
can't I ever see her?
If you have faith towards His Mightiness,
he will hear your prayer, son.
It all depends…
if you open your heart to His Mightiness or not.
Alarm
Here's your mail.
Thank you.
Wait a moment.
Mother is traveling clairvoyance.
Ms Ning?
The crows you see
are the messengers from His Mightiness.
He came to say
that it's time for Jaa's spirit to depart.
Why?
But I…
I haven't even met with Jaa, yet.
She doesn't want to leave you,
but she has no choice.
Ms Ratree, do you have a way to help Jaa?
Ms Ratree.
I'm begging you.
Ms Ratree, please help me and my daughter.
I haven't even met with her, yet.
I beg you. I want to meet her, Ms Ratree.
Mother Ratree, please help me and my daughter.
Please, Mother Ratree.
I want to meet Jaa at least once more.
Mother, please help me.
I'm earnestly begging you, Mother.
Please help me.
I don’t have…
Son.
I can perform a ritual…
to bring Jaa's spirit back.
But we have to find a new body for her first.
Body?
Yes.
The body needs to be around the same age as Jaa
and is able to communicate with spirits.
Do you mean Ing?
Two spirits can live together in one body.
Jaa will just be a resident, only.
Will it put Ing in any danger?
She won't feel any kind of change.
Wow! A Guri doll.
Is it the one you wanted?
Here.
This doll…
used to belong to Jaa, hon.
Jaa is your older sister, Ing.
She's also Papa's daughter.
How long have you been seeing Jaa?
You've never told me about her.
She doesn't like it.
She disappears every time someone else is around.
But…
I haven't seen her
since we moved to the condo.
Granny Ratree told Papa
that Jaa won't be with us anymore.
Jaa doesn't have a body like us, hon.
So, she can't continue to be with us.
Ing, do you want Jaa to come back?
Granny Ratree told me that you can help her.
You're the only one who can help her, hon.
Papa, don't cry.
I'll be the one who helps Jaa.
Thank you, hon.
Kwin, I'm taking Ing to school now.
We're going to be together again, sweetie.
Jaa, return to Daddy soon.
I want to hug you so much.
Okay, sweetie?
Jaa?
Jaa, it's you, right?
It's me, Daddy.
Jaa!
Jaa, show yourself to Daddy, please.
Ning saw me perform the ritual.
Ning.
Dr Nuch: Tomorrow, Mother will perform
the ritual for Jaa and Ing.
Before the ritual,
Ing will need marks in 3 different areas on her body.
Jaa has already made the first mark.
If Ing permits me today,
I will make the second one.
What about the third one?
You will have to be the one to create it.
Since you're the one who created her.
Ing is here.
No need to worry.
Mother has done this ritual successfully before.
Ning, don't take her away!
Ning!
That's not right!
Stand straight...
Papa! It's me, Ing.
Come get me.
Ing?
Where are you, hon?
Watch where you're going!
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
So…
Are you done?
Papa, you came so late.
Mommy is on her way up, hon.
We have to leave now.
Dr Nuch: Come over to Aunty Phorn's house.
Tom.
Can you take me to meet Ms Ratree, please?
- What happened? - I'll tell you about it.
Tom found me a new house far from here.
When Ning gets there and it's empty,
she'll probably go look elsewhere.
I don't think she'll come back here tonight.
You said Aunty Phorn went to meditation training,
when will she return?
I have something to talk to her about.
Aunty Phorn will return tonight.
Don't you believe me?
Oh, I do.
Let's go to prepare for the ceremony at your house.
It's time to create the last mark.
Ing.
Go wait on the bed, hon.
Close your eyes as well.
Jaa?
That's you, right?
Jaa.
Aunty Phorn.
You know I thought something
had happened to you.
I thought you…
Papa!
Papa.
Run.
Papa.
- Come here. - Papa!
Let go.
Quiet.
Papa!
This is Prae,
my youngest daughter.
She drowned when she was 7.
Jaa?
Jaa, it's you, right?
Jaa.
I've kept Prae's spirit
in this doll for decades
waiting for a suitable body.
Papa!
And tonight
she will come back to life once again.

just like what Tom said?
Hello, Ms Ning.
Your tenant moved out already.
They said their contract with the school ended.
So, they moved back to their country.
Oh, sure.
When would you like to go check the room?
Okay, Ms Ning.
Mother, she'll come check out the room next week.
We've arrived at that child's house, Prae.
Will this girl spirit cause us trouble, Mother?
Not at all.
She’ll be useful to us.
Little one.
Come out to Granny.
Stay in this doll, okay?

Mommy.
There's someone in the room.
I'm scared.
Please spare me.
Pray to His Mightiness
and serve him.
Your father already told you
why I'm here, right?
Can Jaa really live in my body?
Of course.
Because in my body,
there is also another person.
See?
When I was 18,
I allowed this girl to live with me.
Where is she now?
Hello.
My name is Ratree.
What we're doing right now
is travelling clairvoyance.
You've had this talent since you were born.
That's why you can see Jaa.
I've been living in Napaporn's body for decades.
But my spirit doesn't age with the body.
How did you get into Granny's body?
This is when I did the ritual 50 years ago.
My great-grandfather descended
from the leader of His Mightiness
from around the Himalayas.
If I do the ritual,
then Jaa will be with me forever, right?
Yes.
But you have to give permission first.
I give permission.
I'll be back, hon.
Granny, why did you let Ratree live in your body?
Are you two best friends?
No.
We hardly knew each other.
Actually, the owner of this body was murdered,
so I could live in it alone.
Is it you, Ratree?
Papa.
- Come here. - Papa.
Come here.
- Papa. - Quiet!
No!

Let go!
Let me go!
Come out, Ms Ning.
Without a car,

Nuch, go check if Phorn is done.
Yes, Mother.

Tom: Ning's been taken care of.

Aunty.
What did you call me?
I'm sorry.

I woke up and was already in Ing's body.
I'm sorry.
Don't cry, sweetie.
Ing, hold on.
Take some of Grandma's bean cake

Here you go.

Ready?
Bye-bye.
After school, Mommy will take you to the beach, okay?
Okay.
