"You're really childish." "Still telling ghost stories at this age?" "I've heard that telling ghost stories, during the lunar seventh month, will attract spirits." "Then you're doomed." "You'll be the first target since you're so fat." "That's not funny." "Do you guys know the reason, why "2359" is used frequently in the army?" "Because midnight, is the most evil part of the night." "If someone dies at 23:59 hrs, his soul will not rest in peace, and will return to the mortal world." "And do you know that in this very bunk, a recruit actually committed suicide at 23:59 hrs?" "This bunk?" "Are you sure?" "Three years ago, in this very bunk, there was a very effeminate recruit called Lye." "Damn!" "What is this sissy doing in our camp?" "Haven't you any shame?" "If you get us in trouble again with the sergeant, you'll be dead." "Do you hear me?" "You are shameless." "Let's go!" "Are you sure it happened in this bunk?" "You think I will joke about this?" "You must be a real idiot, to believe what he just said." "You see this idiot." "His face is paler than my ass!" "Hey." "Are you okay?" "Just feeling a little unwell." "Just admit that you are a coward, and stop acting sick." "Hey Dragon, that's enough." "Don't listen if you're a coward!" "Do you know that, a "Kuntilanak" still exists on this island?" "When a pregnant woman commits suicide, it is believed that her spirit will return, to our world as a "Kuntilanak"." "An extremely vicious and evil spirit." "Whatever happens don't remove your hand, or the spirit will not return to its own world." "May I know, are you in this room now?" "May I know, are you in this room now?" "Yes." "Don't let go!" "Could you please leave?" "No!" "Shit!" "Shit!" "What did they see?" "It was so horrifying," "I wouldn't dare talk about it." "I heard it entered the body of a pregnant woman, and possessed her foetus." "And every night at 23:59 hrs, this child will..." "Damn you!" "What's wrong with you?" "Got a problem?" "Bring it on!" "Do you really think you're a gangster?" "Grow up man!" "Do you think being a platoon in-charge, or an army scholar makes you great?" "Calm down guys, it was just an accident." "Accident?" "How much trouble has he gotten us into?" "He has sabotaged our platoon repeatedly!" "Damn you." "Are you okay?" "Of course he's alright." "He's the king of malingerers." "Scared of ghost stories?" "Don't join the army, just be a sissy boy." "Your mouth stinks." "Can't you just shut up?" "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "You better go check on him." "Go on." "Yes, your girlfriend's gone to the toilet." "Go help wipe her ass." "What a coward." "Are you alright?" "Yes." "You really need to get your act together." "Yes." "Look at you." "Since young, you're always agreeing to whatever I say." "This is our last week here." "We can leave this island, once we've finished the course." "I'm really trying but..." "Just trying is not enough." "I really saw something that night." "It's..." "There you go again." "Stop talking about that night." "I can swear!" "What is there to swear about?" "It happened at midnight." "Just like what Dragon said." "It's now coming back for me!" "Tan!" "Wake up!" "Everyone out there thinks that, you are dead weight." "Do you really like that?" "Then stop all the bullshit ghost stories." "Nobody believes them anyway." "They would just think you're an idiot." "Understand?" "Look." "Just like this tap." "It's faulty." "Pure and simple." "But everyone would choose to believe, that this toilet is haunted." "Isn't it?" "Wow, you are so lovey-dovey, even in the toilet?" "Don't let us interrupt, please carry on!" "Go brush your teeth!" "Your father's on the phone, asking you to drink your milk!" "Go to the office now!" "Let's go, or we'll die from the stench here!" "Damn it, he's such a coward." "She's here!" "Who?" "She's here to kill me." "There's nobody." "You probably scratched yourself while struggling." "Who did this?" "Own up now if you dare!" "Who did this?" "!" "Take it easy." "Can't you take a joke?" "You think this is your grandfather's house?" "That you can joke about anything?" "Scum, you can scold me, but not my grandfather." "I would rather die if I were your grandfather." "What?" "You want to be a hero?" "No." "I just can't stand people, who don't brush their teeth." "What?" "!" "Come on!" "Stop!" "I said stop!" "Sergeant Kuah's coming." "Room!" "What are you doing?" "Nothing, Sergeant." "We were just..." "Are you boys feeling deprived?" "Fooling around with each other is it?" "Very good." "A lot of energy." "Do you want to walk 30km tomorrow?" "No, Sergeant!" "Don't you guys ever learn?" "I have already said, this is the lunar seventh month." "All the spirits will be out for "food"." "Sleep early, don't be noisy." "Are you being funny?" "No, Sergeant!" "Can you stand properly?" "Is your leg injured?" "Do you think I'm too kind to punish you?" "No, Sergeant." "You?" "!" "No, Sergeant." "Last warning." "No fighting or both of you can't pass out." "Understand?" "Yes, Sergeant!" "Cannot hear you!" "Yes, Sergeant!" "Switch off the lights." "Sleep!" "Why?" "Are you putting on an act?" "No, Sergeant!" "Last week you did eleven pull-ups, today not even one." "Is your bottom swollen or too heavy?" "Up!" "Try again!" "Sir..." "Sir..." "Sir..." "Sir..." "See." "I've got something important to show you." "What?" "What is this?" "The date for the road march is extremely inauspicious!" "So what are you suggesting?" "We cancel the road march?" "Sir, not cancel, postpone!" "But of course cancelling it will be better." "Do you know what you are talking about?" "How many years have you spent in this camp?" "Don't you know the importance of the road march?" "You think you can cancel it as you wish?" "Sir, I am just worried about our recruits." "Are you worried about the recruits, or you just want to skive?" "Sir, you can't put it this way." "Kuah." "How many more years, do you want to be stuck in your position?" "Do you want to be a Sergeant forever?" "Make sure the recruits are ready for the road march." "Understand?" "Yes, Sir." "Fake Caucasian, don't need to make fun of me, even if you don't believe me." "Tan." "Tan." "What's wrong?" "It's time for the road march." "I'm feeling unwell." "Unwell?" "Are you sick?" "You're fine." "I have a bad feeling." "What bad feeling?" "She's coming for me tonight." "Who?" "I've told you before, it's that woman who..." "Tan." "Can you wise up please!" "I've told you many times." "There's no woman." "Jeremy, I really saw something." "You can ask Chester about it." "That's enough." "If you don't go through this road march, you can't pass out from this course." "You really want everyone to think you're a loser?" "I'm not a loser." "That's not what they think." "Do you think so too?" "It's not important what I think." "I'm not a loser." "I know what I saw." "Alright." "What did you see?" "It looked like a woman's body." "But its face..." "Tan." "You didn't see anything." "How do you know?" "Ghosts do not exist in this world." "How do you know that?" "How do you know that?" "How do you know that?" "I can tell." "You have the third eye, that can communicate with the underworld." "But it was all a lie." "I didn't have any third eye." "My father was just a con man, cheating people of their hard earned money." "I miss you." "Your wife says she misses you." "Uncle!" "Are you alright?" "That old man died believing, that his wife's spirit was inside me." "What about your dad?" "To me, I don't even have a father." "You've never seen any ghost?" "Not even once." "Do you still want to go for the road march?" "Let's go." "Never knew there was, such a beautiful girl on this island." "You haven't seen her before?" "She grew up on this island, and sells food in our canteen." "She must have been your target right?" "That's nonsense." "Stop whistling!" "That's my girlfriend, okay?" "Okay platoon, listen up." "This is your last road march." "It is very important to everyone, and it's also very tough." "Anyone who's not feeling well better fall out." "Anyone?" "Good." "This road march is no laughing matter." "While out in the jungle, do not call your buddies' names unnecessarily." "I have some powerful talismans from, a very famous medium at a temple." "Pass it down." "Take one each, and put it in your pockets." "It will ward off evil." "Don't be stubborn." "This is not a joke." "Believe me." "Okay platoon, listen up." "Are you ready?" "Yes Sergeant!" "Are you ready?" "Yes Sergeant!" "So what are you waiting for?" "Christmas, Sergeant!" ""Chris" your head." "Whole lot, left turn." "Move out." "You okay?" "Let me help you carry." "Wow, now we can bring maids to the army." "I should have asked my maid along, to carry my field pack." "Dragon, can you shut up?" "Why should I shut up?" "I'll speak as I please!" "Why should I listen to you?" "Who are you to tell me what to do?" "Is this your grandfather's camp?" "But this really is his grandfather's camp." "His grandfather was the camp commander here." "What the hell!" "?" "What's the point in telling me this?" "Big deal!" "Hey." "What!" "Looks like he can't continue." "This is what you call a sissy!" "Can't even endure some pain." "What the hell." "Aunty, it's late." "You should go home." "Be careful." "Hey." "Where are Tan and Jeremy?" "Both of you wait here for them." "I'll look for Sergeant Kuah, alright?" "What is his problem?" "Always being overzealous." "This is not being overzealous." "This is called bootlicking." "It's a skill of the studious types." "I heard his father is a full colonel, and his older brother was awarded the sword of honor." "His whole family is very capable." "What's the point in telling me?" "I'm not a busybody!" "What's taking them so long?" "Hope nothing happens to them." "What do you mean?" "What is the time now?" "It is eleven..." "Was the story about "2359" for real?" "Do you think I would joke about such things?" "Have you heard about this island's story?" "What story?" "On this island, there was a very powerful medium, who could communicate with the dead." "Some even say she could control them." "She gave birth that very night." "But the baby was born deformed." "They say the spirit that she summoned, possessed her baby instead." "That is terrible." "That's not the worst part." "Do you know what the baby grew into?" "Freak!" "Monster!" "Get lost!" "Go away!" "What happened to her?" "I don't know." "Some people said she died." "But her spirit is still on the island." "This island?" "Did you hear that?" "Did you hear that?" "Namo Amitabha, Namo Amitabha..." "What are you chanting?" "What are you chanting?" "Teach me." "Namo Amitabha!" "What the hell?" "!" "Are you trying to scare the shit out of me?" "Where is Tan?" "Wasn't he with you?" "I thought he was with you guys." "Put on your helmet!" "Where is Tan?" "He's not with us." "Where was he last seen?" "I think it was near the fourth check point." "Fourth check point?" "Was he carrying the talisman I gave?" "No." "Come on, let's go look for him." "Follow me." "Sergeant!" "What is it?" "Field pack." "Okay recruits, listen up." "The four of you spread out and look for Tan." "Don't wander too far out." "We'll regroup here in 5 minutes." "Yes Sergeant." "Shit!" "Shit!" "Shit!" "I can't see anything!" "Okay recruits, listen up." "Find your buddy, and put your left hand on his left shoulder." "Here." "Here." "Over here." "Okay number off!" "One." "Two." "Three." "Four." "Five." "Five?" "What's going on?" "What's going on?" "Get up." "Get up." "What's going on?" "I saw him, I saw him." "Who?" "Tan." "Tan?" "Everybody, go find Tan!" "Go..." "Tan." "Sergeant!" "Kuah." "I don't understand your report." "Sorry sir, I know that my English is not good." "Yes." "We all know that, but that's not the point." "Based on what you're writing, someone saw Tan standing behind him, ten seconds more, find his body near a tree." "Is that right?" "Yes Sir." "That night I had a feeling that, something was out there." "What "something"?" "I don't know what, but it was something like a ghost, a demon, or a spirit." "Or like what Hokkien people say, it's something unholy." "Kuah, do you know what you're talking about?" "Are you blaming recruit Tan's accident, on the supernatural?" "I don't know what caused Tan's death." "But I'm sure his death was not an accident." "If it's not an accident, it's your fault!" "My fault?" "Your responsibility was to take care of, the recruits' safety." "You didn't do a good job." "Do you know how hard it is, to look into the parents' eyes, and to tell them their son died in our care?" "In our care!" "Anyway, I did my best." "I even took talismans from a temple for them." "Which sergeant will do that?" "Giving the recruits talismans, won't keep them safe." "Making sure that they're physically well, doing proper head counts, making sure they have enough water to drink." "That's how you keep them safe." "I did the head count, and there was an extra recruit." "If you miscount, that is your fault." "Don't blame it on the supernatural." "I know I've done what's necessary." "If the army doesn't believe in the supernatural, why is there no training on Thursday nights?" "And why are we not allowed to walk through," "Muslim cemeteries during road march?" "Just because we don't do Thursday night road marches, just because we don't walk through Muslim cemeteries, does that mean we believe in the supernatural?" "You're kind of simple-minded, aren't you?" "I don't know what you mean." "I just know that one recruit has died and I can't lose another." "Then make sure that doesn't happen again." "Give the recruits half a day off." "If anyone of them is still affected psychologically, send them to the medical officer." "Understand?" "Yes, Sir!" "Brother." "Have a bite." "Don't brood over it." "It was just an accident." "No one expected it to happen." "It was not an accident." "What do you mean?" "I've said this many times." "I really saw Tan's spirit." "Tan's death was not an accident." "It's strange, that all our torches went out at the same time." "I checked the batteries." "All of them were flat." "I just changed them." "Do you think the extra head count was normal?" "Maybe we panicked, and number off wrongly." "You said you saw Tan's spirit." "How come none of us saw anything?" "How the hell would I know?" "Why won't you believe that I saw Tan's spirit?" "It's because you caused his death right?" "Are you worried that he's going to seek revenge on you?" "Say that again?" "Say that again!" "Can you all calm down?" "Enough!" "We'll know if it was an accident, after the investigation." "What's the use of an investigation, if they're blind to the truth!" "Don't say I didn't warn you." "Put coins under the bed." "Otherwise, if your bed shakes at night, it's not my business." "Tan." "I'm sorry." "Tan." "Tan." "Tan." "Tan." "Room." "At ease." "Your mom just called." "She said your dad just passed away." "Do you need compassionate leave?" "No." "Are you sure?" "You don't have to go for, the morning training later." "I can do it." "Are you okay?" "Why are you calling?" "I'm not feeling well." "Can you book out to visit me?" "This is an army camp, you think I can book out at will?" "Just this time." "No." "Tan." "Hope you can rest in peace." "We are already of different worlds, hope you can be more relaxed over there." "Don't come back for us." "Tan." "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to keep bullying you." "I was just like you when I was young, always getting bullied." "I thought if I bullied you, you would be stronger and manly." "But now I know I was wrong, and how silly I was." "Can you please forgive me?" "What?" "I can't take it anymore." "Damn it." "You are really weak." "Lim, let me ask you." "Does my mouth really stink?" "Who are you?" "Jeremy!" "Jeremy!" "Are you alright?" "Who?" "Did you see her?" "It's that woman." "She was there on the night Tan died." "Jeremy." "Don't go in there." "Did Tan's spirit come for you?" "It was just a dream." "Just because you don't believe, doesn't mean "they" don't exist." "And just because you believe, means "they" exist?" "Chester." "Chester." "Chester, stop it!" "Chester, stop it!" "Stop it!" "Tan." "Are you Tan?" "Hold his head!" "Kuah, the recruits can see you." "Sir." "It's really bad this time." "Trust me." "So what are you suggesting?" "I think we should call a medium in." "Medium?" "Are you serious?" "Yes, sir." "I know a very popular medium." "Kuah." "Do you know what you're talking about?" "You want to call in a medium to perform an exorcism?" "Sir, not performing any rites." "Just get the medium in to take a look." "Just to take a look?" "Does this look like a joke to you?" "What kind of signals, are you sending to the recruits?" "That this camp is haunted?" "The recruits are not blind." "They've seen what happened to Chester." "They know what's going on." "Look." "It's obvious they're not taking Tan's death very well." "They're mentally and emotionally affected." "I get it." "You are the platoon sergeant." "You should be looking into this sort of things!" "Sir, Chester did not lose his mind." "I'm serious." "Trust me, okay?" "I've trusted you before." "Sir." "I know you blame me for Lye and Tan's deaths." "Tan's death is still under investigation." "Don't go there." "But Lye, he committed suicide." "You know that, I know that." "We could have saved him, if you had sent him for counseling much earlier." "Okay, Sir." "It was all my fault." "Lye and Tan's deaths were my mistakes." "But this time," "I can't let the same thing happen to my recruits again." "Sorry, Sir." "If you want to charge me, and put me in the detention barracks," "I don't care." "This time I insist on calling the medium in." "Sorry, Sir." "Sir." "Out of all the people here, why was Chester the only one affected?" "Maybe he's just very unfortunate." "You make me vomit blood!" "Remember the night when," "Chester and Tan were on guard duty?" "After that night, Tan became really timid." "I've dreamt of Tan after he died." "In the dream, I saw Chester die." "I believe Tan's death, is connected to him." "Are you okay?" "Was it really Tan?" "What are you saying?" "I'm asking if it was Tan?" "How would I know?" "Stop saying you don't know." "Tell me honestly." "Tan's death, do you have anything to do with it?" "No." "How much longer do you want to lie?" "He is your friend, and my best friend." "He has helped you many times, you should know that." "Don't you think you've let him down?" "Chester." "Tell me what you know." "I want to help you." "Why did you bring me here?" "That night, while Tan and I were on guard duty..." "Chester." "How did we get here?" "Are we lost?" "Don't worry." "Walk this way, and we should find a way out." "Let's go." "What's wrong?" "I've got a leg cramp." "What do you want now?" "We still have to rush to the next checkpoint." "I really can't go on." "I'll take a look around." "You have a rest here." "Chester!" "Chester!" "Something's grabbing my leg!" "It didn't look human." "What do you mean?" "Think carefully." "Was there blood or..." "I really don't know." "I panicked, and couldn't see clearly." "Where did it happen?" "Just down the slope." "Let's go down." "Jeremy." "It happened here." "Let's continue searching." "What's wrong?" "Did you see her?" "Who?" "She was just standing here." "There is no one else here." "Tan's death is definitely related to her." "It must be her." "Jeremy." "Are you alright?" "I must find her." "Let's return to the company line first." "Chester." "The next one to die may be you." "What are you talking about?" "I dreamt of you dying." "Dream?" "It's only a dream." "I dreamt of Tan dying, before his death." "Both dreams were identical." "I've got to find that woman." "I believe the villagers on this island should know." "Excuse me." "Did you grow up on this island?" "Yes, why?" "There is a legend about a medium on this island." "Is that true?" "I don't know." "You must know." "It's very important to us." "Please tell us." "She has killed a friend of mine." "I really don't know." "He may be the next person to die, if you don't help us." "Please." "I'm begging you." "I've only seen her when I was young." "Get lost!" "Freak!" "Monster!" "I'm telling you to leave!" "The children in the village started to die one by one." "Everyone believed that it was Yi Gu, who placed a curse on their children, to seek revenge." "But I couldn't be sure." "Looking at her," "I could sense her fury and evil." "She seemed to have a strange ability, to control other people." "Is she still living on the island?" "I haven't seen her in a long time." "But according to some of the other villagers, she has gone mad." "Do you know where she lives?" "On the west of this island." "Near the river." "Let's look for Sergeant Kuah." "Thank you." "Chester." "Chester." "Chester." "Chester." "Chester." "Do you believe now?" "Stop." "Don't be afraid." "Help me." "Help me." "Why did you have to kill them?" "It was just an accident!" "I didn't kill them." "Then who did?" "I'm sorry." "I've let you down." "I'm sorry" "I've let you down." "Damn it." "We're stuck here for this weekend." "Stop it." "My girlfriend's going to be unhappy again." "Do you know, the history of this island?" "What history?" "I heard, there were two recruits, while doing guard duty, accidentally killed one of the villagers." "There were villagers on this island?" "Of course." "Didn't you study history?" "There used to be many villagers on this island." "She came back, and took revenge on the recruits." "Every night at 23:59 hrs, she would return to haunt them." "Are you sure?" "Do you think I would joke about this?" "Please." "This story has been retold so many times." "It's definitely not accurate." "Do you know why I'm sure it's true?" "Why?" "It's my uncle who told me." "Who is your uncle?" "He's the commander of this camp!" "Our commander?"
