Mak and Nak, who wore a mask to avoid alerting the villagers, go the village carnival. On the ferris-wheel, Nak asked her husband if he was afraid of ghosts, and Mak assures her that he was more afraid of living without her. The couple then entered the haunted house; there, Mak's friends abducted him, but unable to open the locked door to carry him out. They briefly managed to conceal themselves from Nak by disguising themselves as the haunted house's fake ghosts, then busted the wall and ran into the woods when she saw them. Seeing Mak's suddenly bleeding chest wound, his distinctive wedding ring, and how he screamed when hit by a handful of holy rice, the four friends were convinced that he was a ghost and scrambled back to the house to rescue Nak. Putting her and the baby on back of boat, the four desperately rowed, only to find Mak at the river bank. He tried to get to the boat and nearly drowned, convincing the four that he is alive, as ghosts don't drown. Mak explained to his friends that his reaction when thrown at by holy rice was because some grains lodged in his wound, which wasn't completely healed and was busted open by all the commotion. With six people on board, the boat started sinking, prompting everyone to throw their luggage away, even the paddles. Ter, who sat frontmost on the boat, wondered out loud who the ghost might be, and Aey, who sat behind him, dropped a ring that looked exactly like the one on the corpse, and was kicked off-board by the panicking Ter. After ineffectively rowing with their hands, Ter was handed the dropped paddle by Nak, and looked back at the other paddle, which had floated so far away it was impossible for a human arm to reach. He then stood straight up, bent over and looked between his legs and finally confirmed that Nak is, indeed, a ghost.
