01x08 - The Payphone

[bunniefuu]

Do not leave anyone behind!

One last question...

Who k*lled the witch?

I did.

I k*lled the witch.

I k*lled my brother.

Lord, please forgive me.

Now, I'm aware of the sin that I committed.

I did it because my consciousness
was temporarily blinded.

Please have mercy on me.

What sin did you commit, Anthika?

You arbitrarily associated
yourself with the devils.

You reached your hands out to temptation.

You almost ruined God's plan.

There's only one God for me.

You are my God.

I hope that the punishment
you received this time

will restore your faith in God.

I hope that this sunless darkness

will make you understand God's timing.

You are my God.

You are my God.

You are my God.

Eat the fish.

I caught it myself.

What's wrong?

I am also without a companion nor family.

Would it be impertinent of me
to think of you as my brother?

Can I call you Khatha?

Why do you want to call
me Khatha as in a scepter?

You have been using a
cane to support yourself.

But from now on, you no longer need it.

I think...

...you can support yourself now.

You can use your body to do great things.

You are your own scepter.

You.

Do you understand what I am saying?

I don't understand it at all.

But I like the name that you pick for me.

It sounds very odd.

Then I'll call you Chan as in the moon.

Because I found you under the moonlight.

The name sounds so outdated.

You don't need to compliment me on that.

Outdated.

You should eat the eggplant.

Try the fish.

They look like loving brothers.

Why?

Are you jealous?

I can think of you as my brother too.

Don't pretend as if you were mad.

I only said what is in your head.

Don't forget.

I'm just an illusion from your imagination.

This place is quite beautiful.

It's not that bad.

I wish that you were here with me.

The time here is a bit strange.

I can't tell how many days
and nights have passed.

I don't want to live here.

Have you ever thought about
escaping from this place?

What do you know about this place?

The One said...

...this place is called the Limbo.

It's a temporal rift.

What do you think this place is?

Is this place the museum?

Do you think these items can
help you escape from here?

Khatha.

Mr. Khatha.

Are you still worried about your looks?

We already knew everything about you.

What?

Bam.

Huh?

I'm sorry.

What?

I'm sorry that I couldn't save you.

I'm sorry, Triphob.

June.

That happened for more than a week.

Forget about it

So?

Do we have any new information?

The logo on Anthika's business card.

It's the logo of the Eternity cult.

It was the crime scene of the
terrestrial rock case last month.

I'll send someone to inspect the place.

I'll let you know as soon
as I have new updates.

What about you?

Did you get any new information
from these documents?

Not much.

I don't understand
what The One said at all.

You mean his words that
Dome is here but not right here?

Whose phone is ringing?

Hello.

Hel... o...

Hello.

Dome.

Khatha.

Mr. Khatha.

Is that you?

I'm... in a rif...

I'm stuck in a temporal rift.

Huh?

Dome.

What did you say?

Where are you stuck in?

I'm stuck in the Limbo.

Huh?

I'm stuck in the Limbo.

Dome.

Dome.

Dome.

Dome.

Dome.

It's believed that every substance
has a resonant frequency.

Not only the substances on earth

but also the substances
in the entire universe.

Whether it is the sun,

the moon, or other planets.

They all have their own
resonant frequencies.

You still don't understand
what I'm saying, do you?

For example, this pen.

This pen has its resonant frequency.

My body also has its resonant frequency.

These frequencies always have effects

and are connected to each other.

I didn't buy this pen
because I think it's pretty.

Maybe I bought it because its frequency

is in sync with my body's frequency.

It attracted me to this pen.

So I decided to buy it.

Wait.

Hey.

Do you remember the payphone?

We haven't seen each other for a long time.

Aren't you going to say hi to me first?

I'm in a hurry.

Do you remember anything about it?

Of course.

Why are you lying that you didn't call me?

I'm not lying. I didn't call you.

You know that I don't
like talking over the phone.

Then why would call you?

You did call me.

You called me and
asked me what date it was.

Last night, you sounded pretty bad.

You were drunk and sobbing.

Follow the signal.

Follow it.

That was what you said.

You are talking nonsense.

I told you that I didn't call you.

I was at home last night.
How could I get drunk?

That's true.

When you were at home,

Didn't you have a craving for a drink?

Nonsense.

Forget about it.

You weren't drunk but I am.

I'm drunk...

Stop it.

If you are going to say that you
are drunk in love, then don't say it.

I told you many times that it's not funny.

But I am drunk.

Don't you believe me?

You are doing it again.

You know I like you.

If you like me too, why don't
you agree to be my boyfriend?

I'm tired of putting moves on you.

I don't want to talk to you anymore.

Today is my birthday but
you didn't prepare any gifts.

Instead, you are teasing me.

Tum!

Tum, Phone is dead.

(According to the Mayan
Calendar, today is doomsday.)

(We are not sure if it's
really going to happen.)

(But what will happen
tonight is a total lunar eclipse.)

(Moving on to the next news.)

Dad, the power went off.

Dad.

Follow the signal.

Follow it.

Follow the signal.

Hello.

Tum, what day is today?

How did you know who I am?

I have no time to explain it.

What day is today?

21 December 2012.

How many moons are there in the sky?

Of course, there's only one moon.

Who are you?

My name is Nonthakon Phanpho.

I was born on 19 December 1991.

I am currently...

Nonthakorn Phanpho is my name.

Who are you?

I don't know what I need to
do to make you believe me.

I'm calling you on 4 April 2023

I'm 31 years old.

The payphone that you are
using can make a call to the past.

Use it to call Phone.

Call him. It's the only
way. Do you hear me?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Does this mean the future
you called yourself in the past?

I don't know.

I don't know what that man wanted.

I don't understand his
question about the moon.

What did you do after that?

When I realized that the payphone
could make a call to the past,

I thought I could change the past.

Hello.

Hello, Phone.

Did someone die? Why
are you calling me at 3 am?

Are you crying?

Did someone really die?

No.

Phone.

What year is this year?

2010.

Are you happy now?

Yes.

I'm very happy.

If you are happy, can I
go back to sleep now?

Good night. Bye.

Bye.

Good night.

His voice gave me some hope.

When I asked you about our phone calls,

why did you say you didn't call me?

I don't know.

I was scared, I guess.

What were you scared of?

You can tell me anything.

I wish you were here with me.

Where are you?

Do you want me to go see you?

You can't find me.

Why?

Then use your imagination.

I'm doing it.

Happy New Year.

What New Year?

It's more than 10 days
before the new year arrives.

Phone.

What day is today?

Are you alright?

Today is the 18th.

Tomorrow is 19 December, your birthday.

Tum, I prepared a gift to surprise you.

What year is this year?

How old am I this year?

Huh?

This year is 2012.

You are turning 21 this year.

Don't go see me tomorrow.

Why?

My dad told me to go
to Ayutthaya to see him.

I won't be able to meet you.

See you later.

I rushed to Phone's house.

I thought I would see him there.

Was he there?

No.

But it didn't mean that
my effort was wasted.

Tum, this is Phone's mother.

I couldn't reach you.

So I looked up in Phone's contact list.

I found another number
saved under your name.

Tum.

Phone...

Phone is dead.

He went near a construction site...

On the day that I thought
I could save my loved one.

I put him through greater pain.

I was trying to save him several times.

But I got three different results.

Either he was k*lled
at a construction site,

Or he was drowned.

I followed the signal.

It led me to this payphone.

So there should be a way
that I could save your life.

Or he met with the same ending.

He was hit by a car.

You need to follow the signal.

You told him to follow the
signal. Do you hear me?

Scoot over.

I need to use the phone.

I'm using it.

I'm waiting for a call.

Don't you have a mobile phone?

Until the day that I met you.

Dead people can never call us back.

When people are dead,

they are gone.

I've never seen anyone
come back from death.

Aren't you going to answer it?

No.

It's usually a prank call.

Here is your order.

Do you know what?

There are many things
that I want to tell him.

I want to thank him.

I want to apologize to him.

I want to tell him face to face.

Do you know what I mean?

Maybe it's better this way.

Something,

Someone,

Or some story,

When they are gone,

they are just the past.

Of course, it hurts.

But you need to find a way to live with it.

Maybe it's better this way.

It's the best thing that we
can stand on our own feet.

It's better that we didn't
make it even worse.

Go back and focus on school.

Forget about the payphone.

Pretend like none of this ever happened.

I can never forget it.

After that day, I can't
find that payphone again.

No matter how hard I tried.

I decided to study in Thailand.

I gave up my scholarship and
opportunities to study abroad.

I held on to my forlorn hope that
one day I would meet him again.

But that day never came.

There was a reason why
the payphone disappeared.

I think it's time to bring
back the old memories.

All this time, the person who has
been keeping the payphone is...

Hey.

How did you make that phone call?

You didn't know the number.

You also didn't have any coins.

I just focused on it and
intensely stared at it.

Come here.

So did you find the answer?

To the question that June
asked you at the amusement park.

About...

...your goal in life.

At first,

my goal in life was to find out who I am.

The more I tried to search for the
answer, the more questions I have.

I think you should stop
searching for who you are.

Instead, you should try
to see what you can do.

You have a magic power to start with.

Why don't you think about
what you can do with that power?

The power that I can't fully control it?

Then train yourself.

You have a lot of free time here.

I'll help you.

Come on.

You used the power before, right?

I thought about the moths

and I saw what happened.

It means the power could
connect you to other people.

Think about the person
that you are longing for.

Do you see anything?

I see you...

...being hit.

I don't know where Dome is.

But I need to bring him back.

I'm sorry about earlier.

I deserved it.

Do you know what?

I was able to get my
doctoral degree because of it.

I was getting ready for the
day that I would find it again.

I hope that I would be smart
enough to know how to use it.

That's why I asked for your help.

Do what you want to do.

I'll wait outside.

How was it?

What else did you see?

I saw Mr. Khatha doing
something with a payphone.

This belonged to Mr. Khatha.

Why are you making that facial expression?

My boss reduced the manpower in my unit.

He said they need more officers
to work on missing teenager cases.

I was also scolded for
obsessing with Khatha's case.

I'm sorry on Mr. Khatha's behalf.

Phob, you need to stop
apologizing on his behalf

I'm frustrated every
time I see you do that.

Anyway, I'll investigate
the case by myself.

I don't think you should
investigate this case by yourself.

It's just a stakeout.

I can do it by myself.

I said no.

Bam.

I will never lose you again.

When everything is over,

and Mr. Khatha is able to rescue Mr. Dome,

I'll go talk to him.

So you will stay out of this.

Hey.

It's not that dangerous.

No.

I made up my mind.

I can't let you be in danger
because of me again.

Phob.

You know how stubborn I can be.

If I decide to be there for someone,

I will never let his hand go.

I will fight with him until the end.

After everything is over,

- We should...
- Triphob.

Did you finish arranging the parcels?

Do you have something for me to do?

I want you to give Tum a ride.

He has something that he needs.

I'll make phone calls to buy
the other things that he needs.

Yes.

You can wait here.

I'll be right back.

(Phone's mom just found this box.)

(She said Phone prepared this to
give to you on your 19th birthday.)

(She apologized for
giving it to you so late.)

(Watch the video on the phone.)

Hello.

Happy Birthday.

I saw you were talking about it.

I got it for you.

Don't use it to do anything strange.

The company recalled the phone
because they found some defects.

It doesn't worth it if it blows
up while you are using it.

I wish you all the happiness in life.

Don't be stressed out.

Make sure to get some rest.

I know that you must have
many important things in your life.

It's okay that we can't see each other.

I'll miss you.

You can call me anytime, Tum.

I love you.

Bye.

Let's hurry back to the museum.

Does this means I can
call myself in the past?

If you call yourself in the
past and warn him about it,

You may be able to fix everything.

It won't work.

If you don't believe me, you can try it.

Aren't you going to answer it?

No.

It's usually a prank call.

Bad habit.

Give me another coin.

The first rule of traveling to the past.

If you try to change
the past, it will resist.

It won't let you change things easily.

Dome.

Are you okay?

Are you alright?

Dome.

Dome.

Dome.

Dome.

Dome.

There are two things that
I didn't tell you that day.

Every time I called Phone.

I took note of the dates I made
the call and he answered the call.

Hello, Phone.

What day is today?

What time is it now?

Why are you asking me that?

Just answer me.

14 June 2011.

3.18 pm.

Okay.

2 January 2010.

7.12 am.

17 April 2012.

5.34 pm.

I processed the data in the
computer by using a formula.

I wanted to know when
I should make the call,

if I wanted to call him at
a particular date and time,

The point is...

I don't think that Dome is in the past.

The other thing I didn't tell you is...

A few years after you took
the payphone away from me,

I met Phone's mom.

She seemed to be unable to
remember Phone's accident

at the construction site or his drowning.

I still believed that what she
told me over the phone was real.

When I tried to call Phone
earlier, it turned out that...

Do what you want to do.

I'll wait outside.

Hello.

I haven't seen this number for a long time.

How are you doing?

I'm fine.

What about you?

How are you doing?

I'm doing okay.

It's good to hear that.

About our meeting on
your birthday, is it still on?

Of course.

I desperately want to meet you.

I miss you too.

When I look at the moons,

I wish that we can be
together just like them.

Phone, are you looking at the moon?

Yes.

How many moons are in the sky?

You are talking strangely.

Of course, there are two moons.

If my theory is right,

It's possible that I was contacting
the past of the parallel world.

Dome that you are looking
for may be in another universe.

Multiverse.

Yes.

Multiverse theory believes that
there are other universes besides ours.

I heard of it before.

I watched the Marvel films.

I'm not that old.

How can you be sure that
these universes are co-existing?

The artifacts in this zone
always play on human desires.

The payphone may just tell
you what you want to hear.

Just like other people who used it.

I believe that the payphone can connect us

to the past of the other universe.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be standing here.

If I didn't call Phone that day

and asked him to tell my
past self to follow the signal.

I would never find the
payphone or meet you on that day.

From my speculation,

I believe that there are
three universes co-existing.

No matter how hard I
tried to save Phone's life,

It always ended with his
accident at a construction site,

his drowning,

or his car accident.

Three universes.

Dome.

Chan.

The One.

Khatha.

This means that Dome may be stuck in

the universe that Phone was drowned,

Or the universe that Phone was k*lled

in an accident at a construction site.

What did Dome say when
he called you earlier today?

I'm stuck in the Limbo.

Limbo.

Limbo.

It was mentioned in many religions.

It's the bordering place
between the world and hell

Some people believe that it is a place

located on the way to the afterlife.

I think it's mainly a place between rifts.

How can we bring Dome back?

I believe that the payphone
has a signal generator

that can connect different universes.

If I can find and control it,

I can use it to open the door to
another universe to bring him back.

It means that I need to
dissect this payphone.

Where are you?

Do you want me to go see you?

Good night. Bye.

I wish that we can be
together just like the moons.

2,600,072.

2,600,073.

Are you awake?

2,600,074.

How long have I slept?

I don't know.

I'm busy counting the stars.

2,600,075.

Go away.

2,600,078.

Can you stop counting the stars?

2,600,080.

Sure.

Then I'll count the moon.

One.

Done.

Earlier,

What did you do?

Do it again.

Wow!

You...

You can control the time here, can't you?

That's cool.

Dome.

Dome, what are you doing?

Dome.

I want to know the future.

I want to know how
everything is going to end.

Huh?

Mr. Khatha.

It's ready.

You can bring Dome's body here.

We don't have much time.

Okay.

Tum.

Dome is missing.

Mr. Khatha, we don't have much time.

I need to turn on the machine now.

Turn it on.

Dome.

Go.

Hurry up.

I'm leaving.

Dome.

Tum.

Did Dome come back?

I'm not sure.

Help me.

Dome.

Help me.

Help me.

I'm in here.

Help me.

Midnight Museum: The Payphone

What happened?

Why is Dome stuck in there?

The most important thing right now
is that we need to find Dome's body.

I saw Dome taken here.

I think they are holding a
ceremony to sacrifice children

to revive the thing that
they believe to be their God.

Please let me be the one who revives you.
