FACULTY OF SCIENCE
Hurry!
Hey!
Get in this room!
Go, go!
Get in!
-Move it! -Lock the doors,
This way,
That doesn't look good,
Are you all right?
PROF, WIROJ
NING
Hello, Ning, Where are you?
Stuck in the faculty building,
What about Non? Is he with you?
I can't reach him,
Are you outside, Professor?
Please help my mom,
Sure, I'll take care of her,
Find a place to hide and contact Non, Understood?
Ning!
Can you hear me?
Ning?
I'll call you back,
Ning!
Ning,
The Prime Minister is set to announce a state of emergency in Bangkok,
following reports that the outbreak
may have originated at Kiatpipat University,
Kawin,
This isn't a safe place to hide, They'll eventually find us,
To the balcony,
Guys, this way! Come on!
-Hurry, -I can't,
No, I'm too scared!
Want to get eaten?
Get moving already!
Quickly,
Hey!
Over there!
Is that Ning?
Non,
Where are you, Non?
Right across from you, Just look straight ahead,
This way!
Hey! Non!
Guys!
-Hey! -Shit!
In light of the current situation,
we urge everyone to remain calm
and continue monitoring the situation closely,
What's the plan?
We can't stay here forever,
Can I?
Ning,
Are you okay?
Just a second,
What, Phu?
Tell them to meet us at the library, Let me talk to them,
Hello,
Can you hear me? Listen closely,
Find your way to the library,
It's under maintenance, so nobody should be there,
Let's meet there,
Are you insane? How do we get there?
Shit, Shush, They're coming,
I have no clue,
Just don't die,
Help me!
Somebody help me!
We need to find a way to the library…
or else we will not make it,
Cut!
Are we good now?
That was fantastic,
SIX MONTHS EARLIER
Thi,
what do you think?
-Lily, -Yes?
Would it look weird if tears were rolling down in the final shot?
Yes, it would look very weird,
My character is a zombie, She shouldn't cry,
Well…
It sounds interesting,
Stop,
Stop saying it's interesting,
What does it mean?
Aren't you the director?
Stop throwing out random ideas,
You need to know what you want,
I understand,
It's not that I can't deliver,
but I don't think this character should cry,
It's not that, It's…
Why do directors always want tears?
Well, it's…
Crying doesn't make a scene better, does it?
No, I mean, you're about to transform, right?
However, you're stuck between being a human and a zombie,
I want the audience to question
whether the tears are coming from Virginia as a human or as a zombie,
Firstly, Thi, you should rename my character,
Virginia?
-It sounds ridiculous, -No, it doesn't,
That's the core of this film,
Patriarchy, is it?
It's too obvious, Thi,
Didn't Naruemon teach you,
"Show, don't tell"?
Excuse me, We're running out of light,
Yeah, Thi, I think this works,
This short film is just an assignment, Do it and submit it,
Fine, Okay,
Go stand behind the monitor,
Where?
Behind the monitor, Come here, Non,
Chop-chop, Hurry, we're losing light,
Let's go,
Nice,
It really does look weird,
Right?
Told you,
Yeah,
Scratch that,
That's a wrap!
Yay!
Good job,
Let's have dinner,
What's up with him?
ZAN: PICKING UP NING TODAY,
The heat wave expected to encompass Southeast Asia
in the coming months may cause erratic weather patterns,
severely affecting residents in the region,
Shit, This is fucking scary,
What is it?
The heat wave, Haven't you seen the news?
So what?
What? This can be fatal!
People dropped like flies in Spain,
People die every day, It's got nothing to do with that,
Should I fly to the U,S, and stay there for a few months?
It's your call,
Join me, then,
I'd rather not,
Hey, come with me,
You can take Ning, too, Stay at my place,
Motherfucker,
Her mom is bedridden, unresponsive,
You're right,
Have Non look after her,
Listen, Your brother should stop acting like a bigshot director,
It's a film assignment,
But he's treating it like it's an award-winning project,
Yeah, he's fucking insane,
If Thi stays this ambitious,
Non won't be able to take care of his mom,
I can't really reason with him either,
That's because you're dumber than he is,
Am I wrong?
If you think you're smarter…
why are you in a freshman class?
What the fuck?
Catch you later,
I'm driving Ning home,
Right, See you,
You don't know about the heat wave, and you call me dumb,
Dumbass,
You've only got a year left, Are you really giving up the scholarship?
Yes,
I've thought this through,
With my mom in this condition, I can't focus on anything,
I understand,
I'll withdraw after this semester,
Ning, wait, Hold that thought,
What's the matter?
I've sent your mother's lab results to the higher-up,
The higher-up? Who?
The Patron,
The Patron?
His son has the same illness,
Joe?
I still saw him on TV,
Don't tell anybody,
This is top secret,
We'd be screwed if this got leaked,
Why are you telling me this?
The Patron funded the research for the cure,
Everything must stay a secret,
Do you follow?
We just went through COVID,
No one wants to face another outbreak now,
And?
I'll propose including your mother in the research,
So you don't need to withdraw, and she'll be treated with extreme care,
And be a lab rat in exchange?
She might have to go through that if the head of the research wasn't me
and if the assistant wasn't you, Ning,
Can you elaborate?
You're the finest student of the batch, and you know that,
You're better than some of the professors,
Even without this illness…
I'd still pitch this project to you,
Who's in the research?
It's just the two of us,
If you need anything, just ask,
The higher-up will handle it,
What's your call, Ning?
Will you stay and help me save your mother?
Just say yes, It's a no-brainer,
Hold up,
What if the research fails?
How will Ning endure the pain?
Pain?
What pain?
Well…
The pain of knowing I killed my own mother,
And you're just going to wait
for Professor Wiroj to give your mother the medicine?
You wouldn't do that,
Keep it down, Jean,
In the end, if you walk away now,
won't you regret it later?
How many people have the opportunity to invent a cure for their own mother?
You and your macho thoughts,
It's coming from someone who's never had parents,
Besides, you don't have to give up your future,
The Patron will care for your mom, What are you afraid of?
I'm scared…
that I won't be good enough,
Ning…
I know you can't take a compliment,
but don't think about that for a second,
Just focus on doing whatever it takes to cure your mom,
Can you focus on that?
Yeah,
Moreover…
you must not forget that…
you're…
someone who is…
gorgeous,
-That's only natural, isn't it? -Not as much as me, though,
I'm the Faculty Queen,
That doesn't count, My face wasn't fully healed,
Is it healed now, though?
Do I look flawless now?
-Gosh! -I don't think so,
What's with you guys?
You stressed me out again,
I owe you guys, you know?
I'll think about the offer,
I feel better now,
I have to go now,
See you,
Huh?
What?
Why aren't we going?
What were you saying?
What?
What's with holding hands with those two?
We just held hands, It's nothing serious,
Really?
I don't like it,
Ning, I don't like it,
Can we not argue about this?
I'm exhausted,
I've paid Non's tuition,
Thank you,
I'll repay you once I get paid for the research,
Sure thing,
There's no rush,
I know that you need the money,
No, I don't want to prolong the debt,
Let's get going, I want to see my mother,
I love sorting the trash,
Oh, handsome!
Perfect timing,
Hi, auntie,
Good to see you,
How are things? Feeling better now?
I'm doing a lot better,
Trash doesn't stink once it's sorted,
It's different now,
When all sorts of junk were dumped into one bin,
it was too much,
Yeah,
I think the problem is the liquid and the ice,
If there were food-waste bins, it'd be simpler,
Fortunately, for your floor, Professor Wiroj had it sorted out for us,
For other floors, it's unbearable,
The staff refuses to separate the bins,
Why is that, auntie?
They say bins would make it worse
and make students bring more food upstairs,
What the heck?
If I complain too much,
they'll hire dedicated janitors for sure,
Mom,
Just stay there, Don't come any closer,
I'll be back, dear,
Right,
He comes here a lot lately,
It seems like something's up,
Has she shared anything with you?
Of course,
I've heard that he owes money to a boxing gym,
like six figures,
Six figures?
Her bank account got seized,
Her bank account?
Why did they do that?
When she gets paid here,
it goes straight into her account,
When it's her payday,
her creditor withdraws her salary,
And how is she able to pay for her expenses?
She also cleans other places,
like houses…
and condos,
I don't know, man,
Pao,
Yeah?
You didn't give your money to Auntie Jit, did?
You haven't paid for photocopies in months,
Ning asked me to remind you,
Don't worry, I'll pay soon,
I've taken care of that,
Your allowance…
You have to manage it well,
If you really want to help her…
there are other ways to do it,
Mmm,
Don't just say "Mmm", do it,
What the fuck are you looking at?
Want a piece of me?
Right, right, Please go,
Jean,
Right, I know,
Tell me about the bags,
This one is for glass bottles,
FIRST PLACE, SCIENCE OLYMPIAD
Thank you, Auntie Na, for looking after my mother,
-I might need your help again next week, -No problem,
Thank you,
Make yourself at home, babe,
I need to help my mom get cleaned up first,
Let's eat when Non gets back,
Hold on, Ning, Can I ask you something?
When did your mom first show symptoms?
I mean…
before she went into a coma,
About six months ago,
Why did you ask?
I just talked to my family,
They're ready to help you,
Let experienced doctors take care of her,
It's okay, I've talked to a higher-up,
Which higher-up?
The owner of the college,
When? Why didn't you tell me?
You spoke to him directly?
No, Professor Wiroj spoke to him for me,
And why do you look so surprised?
Nothing,
That's great,
That's all,
Mmm,
I'm off,
Mmm,
San!
Where's Ning?
She's cleaning Mom up,
Mmm,
Finished filming?
Yes,
Did it go well?
I guess,
Good,
And the camera I gave you? Is it good?
Mmm,
Oh,
You're home,
You said you'd be home late,
San wants to have dinner with us,
After I'm done cleaning Mom up, let's go out for dinner,
Okay,
Hey, Were you in the middle of a conversation?
No,
It's done, sir,
But we need to give her time…
so that she feels like the one making the decision,
PRESENT TIME
They're everywhere, How can we leave this place?
Hello, Dad, Where are you?
Fah, what are you doing?
Hey,
-Quiet! -Put it away!
Calm down,
Guys…
I think…
we have to lure them away,
How about breaking a window?
Thorn, No, it's too risky,
What the fuck are they doing here? Don't they have other places to go?
Looks like they have nowhere else to go,
Maybe no food left,
There's this fucker left, She's gonna get us all eaten alive,
Prao, stop insulting her, Do you think it helps?
We have to lure them all away so we can move, right?
Yeah,
Of course,
Place this speaker in the building,
Then play the audio to attract them,
Yeah, let's do that,
Good idea,
This speaker has great range,
We can set it up deeper inside the building,
It will also buy us time,
If we crank the volume to the max,
they'll probably rush in there all at once,
Once the path is clear…
we have to sprint our way across, okay?
We need to make a run for it, Don't look back,
It's such a long way, Thi,
We have no choice,
Stop being dramatic,
Who is going to place the speaker?
Guys, listen,
We are going to split into three groups,
Phu…
you're going with Mook,
I…
will go with Ning,
Pao and Night, you're going with Nan,
Okay?
Nan, you can still walk, right?
I'll do my best, Phu,
I have no choice now,
-Go, Just go, -You're the oldest here, so you go,
I'll go,
Are you up for this?
Why wouldn't I be?
-I'll come with you, -No need,
-I know the spot, -Hold up,
Hey, Prao!
Move,
Why bother?
Guys, the news says it's spreading everywhere,
Even the military can't control it,
Power, water, and communications in the red zone have been cut off,
Why the fuck are they doing that?
-It was for security purposes, -Security purposes, my ass,
This is weird,
They seem to be swarming around the lit areas,
Wouldn't you agree?
Take a look at the park, There are none,
Yeah,
-He's right, -Guys, we have to move,
Wait for my signal,
Shit, the speaker's ready,
I'm going to bring her back,
Hey, where are you going?
-Picking her up, -Thorn!
-And if you're not back? -It won't be long,
Watch your step,
Hurry, Just a little further,
Hey,
Stop!
Hey, stop!
Ow,
Fucking, damn it,
Thorn, come here, you bastard,
Go!
Vin, do it,
-Play the audio, -Okay,
-Ready? -Yeah,
Salmon Podcast,
enjoyable, fresh, and delectable,
Conspiracies, mysteries,
monsters, murders,
-Seriously? -oddities,
-and cases scarier than fiction, -Anything will do,
Welcome, I'm Yod Banpapong,
Whoa!
Untitled case,
Where are they going?
They spotted something,
They go to the Com Arts building,
Non's group must be the ones behind this,
This is our chance,
Quickly!
Go, go, go,
Hurry!
Today, we're talking about…
The path's clear!
Move!
-I took photos of the mic, -How much? Five figures?
That's correct,
I'm glad and encourage more podcasts,
I want to host one,
However, for today's setup…
Oh, our audience can't see it,
-They can't, -They can't, right?
I've taken photos, Feel free to use them,
We're sitting far apart, facing each other,
It's like we're in an interrogation room,
Hey,
I don't think I can go further,
Hop on my back,
Come on!
Pao…
Huh?
Why is there blood on your back?
Are you bleeding?
Huh? No, I'm not,
Pao!
Hop on! Hurry!
Come on! Hop on!
Quick!
Pao, hurry!
Come on!
They're coming!
-Night! -They're coming!
They're coming!
Pao! Nan!
This way!
UNDER MAINTENANCE
Just run!
Nan!
Run! Go!
Pao!
Pao…
Come on!
Nan, come here!
Hurry,
No, don't do it!
Don't!
No!
Fuck!
-Pao! -Pao, stop!
Pao, stop it!
We need to go! Hurry!
Hurry! Go!
We need to leave!
Hurry!
-Move! -Sorry,
-Run! -They're here!
I'm so sorry!
Quick!
I'm sorry!
Run!
Oh, fuck!
Shit…
Run! Keep going!
Hurry! Don't stop!
Go!
Pao,
Ning!
Non,
Pao, don't cry,
It should've been me,
It's okay, Pao,
Hey,
Did you talk to me this evening?
How can you be so sure that none of them are here?
If they were here, they would've come out,
Hey, he was asking nicely,
This hall only has one way in,
There's a staircase at the back…
for going upstairs,
If something happens…
we run to the meeting room, then to the balcony,
Trust us,
We've thought this through,
This is the safest place,
Guys, check your phone,
There's no phone signal here,
What about yours, Non?
The service might've been shut off,
By who?
The government,
They're claiming it was terrorism,
Huh?
The latest report says power and water will be cut off, but we don't know when,
They said that this could be bioterrorism,
How will we contact people outside?
Just pray,
We have to find a way out of here,
To where?
Haven't you seen what it's like outside? It's a mess,
We'll be dead if we leave,
At least we know routes here,
How long can we last with the power and water gone,
There are other people,
Who?
Survivors,
So what?
We need to gather people and risk everything on one call for help,
The line of communication is dead,
How are we going to ask for help?
A warning to the medical personnel…
The wounded…
…since they might be carrying the infection,
I stumbled upon this,
It likely belongs to a worker,
Number three,
To contain the spread of the infection
and prevent major damage
to the city's infrastructure,
CAOUV will shut off power and water
in the red zone,
with Ground Zero
at Kiatpipat University of Innovation,
located in Khlong Kum,
The order will take immediate effect
at 8:30 p,m, tonight,
-Ground Zero? -The public is prohibited
-from entering… -Quiet,
without permission,
Violators will face criminal penalties
and will be subject to arrest
and forceful interception by authorities,
Number five,
Residents in the red zone
are urged to seek higher ground
or move to the rooftop of any building
or structure,
Military helicopters will conduct daily patrols
to search for and rescue survivors,
starting from 8:00 a,m,
-Issued on… -We're safe now, Fah,
May 15, 2024,
They say our university is Ground Zero,
What does that mean?
And nobody's questioning that?
That's not important anymore, Kawin,
Okay,
We'll go to the parking garage rooftop,
That's big enough for a helicopter to land,
We're going there now?
Wait, let's not,
We need to let everyone know,
The PR room is upstairs, Who's coming with me? We're out of time,
Wait,
What are you thinking, Ning?
Why cause more trouble?
Causing trouble, my ass,
Everyone should know about the announcement,
Was I talking to you?
What's wrong with you?
-Fuck you, -Hey, San!
San, calm down!
Chill,
Welcome to the male shitshow,
Hey, San! Calm down!
Hold on, Ning, I'm with you,
Hey…
Non!
You guys wait here,
Ning,
Prepare to die,
What are you saying, Prao?
In zombie films, when someone does something stupid,
it's the extras who pay the price,
Prao,
What is wrong with you? Huh?
You always say fucked up shit,
Am I wrong, Thi?
People here probably made it,
They're trapped in the university,
Okay,
Everything's set, You can speak now,
Everyone…
How's that?
My name is Ning Karnpitcha,
a senior from the faculty of science,
Thirteen of my friends and I
are taking refuge in the library,
We heard the announcement on the radio
saying that the power and water will be cut off at 8:30 p,m,
You might've noticed that your phone signal is gone,
We cannot contact people outside,
However, tomorrow at 8 a,m,,
military helicopters will conduct daily patrols
to search for survivors,
To those hearing this,
let me repeat myself,
Tomorrow at 8 a,m,, military helicopters will conduct daily patrols
to search for survivors,
Survivors must seek higher ground,
It could be the rooftop of a building or any spot visible from above,
We, the survivors at the library, are heading for--
Ning, stop,
We can only take so much responsibility,
We, the survivors at the library,
are heading to the parking garage rooftop,
If you can join us…
please do so before sunrise,
I repeat,
the survivors at the library
are heading to the parking garage rooftop,
The library is safe, We're here to take you in,
The lights outside are out,
You know what you just said?
What if they bring zombies with them?
Stop it, San,
Your words don't fucking help at all,
Ning, why did you say that?
Calm down, okay?
Hey!
There it is!
-Over there! -Hey!
Right there,
-Whoa! -Hey…
Let's go, guys,
-Oh? -Whoa!
-What the fuck? -Hey!
What?
-Munin! -Whoa!
Whoa!
We should leave, Sun!
We can just leave it behind,
We can't,
Kiatpipat Cheerleading Handbook is in there!
Munin!
Back off!
I'm a graduate,
You were so scared of me as a freshman!
We're screwed!
Duck! Take cover!
Duck,
What is it, Aek?
Where are they going?
I don't know,
But it's not a good sign,
And what's next?
Wait,
That's all we can do,
