We can infer from the expense statement that this woman is
a shopaholic, which is typical of a narcissist.
These people are drawn to high-end, pricey brands,
particularly limited-edition products, because they make her feel more exceptional.
She likes bright colors, modern design, and all things beautiful.
What sort of person was she?
She's very thrifty because she needs to save her earnings to cover her mother's medical expenses
Is this her pet?
Yes.
It’s not her.
No expensive stuff. That kind of person truly adore themselves. Not a fan of animals, definitely not her.
I verified it at Areerat Hospital.
The nurse in question has never been employed at Noppavej Hospital.
The person who made the report must have misunderstood
sir.
She's likely onto our plan by now. I bet she's attempting to evade us, laying low until the case blows over.
10.30 a.m 6 hours before the case expires
Division 3, Special Investigation Division
This is from Panace Hospital.
Hey,wake up, wake up. We’ve got something!
Are you sure Ms. Ratchanee used to work at Noppavej Hospital in the surgical department?
Yes, I am.
The last time we met, we were right here in front of this ward, watching the news about this case together.
Sir, I am at Panace Hospital. I am sending you a photo.
Take a look.
It’s her.
Dad, did you manage to catch her?
I went to her place, but couldn't find her. I searched everywhere she had been, but no sign of her.
How about cell phone signal?
No trace. Her phone is off.
I’ve got her credit card information.
Ratchanee just used it to book a hotel in Trat.
Ratchanee made a hotel reservation in Trat tonight, sir.
Contact Trat police. Have them arrest her and bring her here by helicopter.
That's not possible. We do not have authority.
We need the boss to talk with them.
Is the deputy there?
Right here by my side.
Go ahead.
“2 hours before the case expires”
Did they catch the culprit?
Tell me something. Why did nobody tell me anything.....?
Can you tell me if it is possible to put him in jail?
Auntie, we can't say anything right now.
We've got less than two hours before the courts close,
and we still don't have the results of the evidence examination.
Our only option is to pressure the criminal into confessing.
Ms. Ratchanee...
On July 27, 2001,
you abducted a young girl named Noina from Arunrung School.
After that, you got a ransom of one million baht from her mother,
and brutally murdered her.
I didn't do it... I honestly have no idea.
In 2001, you worked at Noppavej Hospital. Is it correct?
Yes.
How did you first meet Prapas?
I don’t know anyone called Prapas.
Are you saying you don't know both Noina and Prabhas?
Then why did you run away as you heard the news?
I didn’t run away.
Do you recall the shoes Ratchanee was wearing in the interrogation room?
Well, I am not sure.
Why do shoes matter?
Were you the one who brought Ratchanee in?
Do you remember what shoes she was wearing?
I believe, they were slippers.
Damn!
Why do shoes matter?
I didn't really flee.
I swear I'm just taking a day off to handle some things in Trat.
That's the whole story.
If not, why was your phone off so that ?
I lost it.
If you don’t believe me,
you can ask Yupin. She is my supervisor.
Yupin....
I told her three days before I left.
You can ask her to verify it.
Let me talk with your supervisor first.
Lieutenant
Oh!
Where are you doing?
Ratchanee : You..you
Senior Sergeant Chaleoi : What are you doing?
She is not the culprit…
… the culprit would never wear such worn-out shoes.
The mug handle was facing left.
Everything is arranged in a left-handed manner.
The locker’s owner is a left-handed person.
Ms.Ratchanee is right-handed. It is clear she is not the culprit.
Are you sure you informed Ms.Yupin?
Yes
Ms.Yupin didn’t tell us about that.
Take a good rest and come to the appointment,
Thank you.
Lieutenat Win : She was a nurse who worked at Noppavej Hospital until it closed 20 years ago.
Have you got the name?
Nurse 1 : Anyone here from there?
Nurse 2 : I am not sure.
News broadcaster : Police Lieutenant Win Wichairat was the first witness...
Ratchanee,
did you see the news?
They mentioned Noppavej Hospital.
Why do you ask me?
You also worked there, Yupin
Lieutenat Win : She is a quick thinker.
Lieutenat Win : She’d do anything for her own benefit.
Lieutenat Win : She figured out the time left and called.
Lieutenat Win : She misled us to waste our time on Ratchanee.
Yupin : I am calling about the abduction case.
Senior Sgt. Chaleoi : Who is calling, sir?
This is from Panace hospital.
I was wrong.
I thought she’d run.
But she did the opposite.
She made a trap for the police to make a mistake,
facing with the deadline.
We can’t let it end like this.
Just like 20 years ago,
when she pinned the blame on Prapas and got away.
She is overconfident in her criminal tactics.
So, she has never run.
She believes she outwits the cop.
I felt bad for suspecting my co-worker.
You did the right thing.
Lieutenat Win : I am sure she’s close.
Lieutenat Win : Someone like her must be watching us being played around and fail right before her eyes.
We must leave now.
I’ll be right back.
Check cctv at the hospital and nearby.
Find Yupin as soon as possible.
Yes, sir.
Inspector,
we found Yupin’s car at Elizabeth Hotel.
Let’s go.
90 Minutes before the case expires
29 July 2021 / 30 Minutes before the case expires
She knows the case shall expire soon.
She will never confess.
There must be some ways.
Take a look at your monthly credit card statements. Your expenses are significantly high each month.
You're spending on expensive brand-name items and dining at luxury restaurants,
which are well beyond what a regular nurse's salary can cover.
Am I right?
Yes, my boyfriend takes care of that.
Is it Dr.Sunai?
But he is married, isn’t he?
I think it's a personal matter...
I don't want to answer.
Why did you swap lockers with Ms. Ratchanee?
She's right-handed,
yet the items in the locker are clearly meant for a left-handed person.
Are you left-handed?
The perfume you're wearing has the same aroma as the expensive perfume found in the locker.
The size of the red high-heeled shoes in the locker
is the same as yours. So it’s your locker.
Why did you lie?
I wanted to see how thoroughly the police investigate the case.
If you fail again, it means the girl just died in vain.
Thank you...for admitting that the locker belongs to you as there was your DNA.
that will confirm you…are the real killer.
She got defensive. She’s nervous thinking about what she missed.
We must make her confess.
“18 minutes before the case expires”
Did you know that criminals always leave some sort of trail?
Do you recognize these?
Why ..
these are not mine
I know they are not yours.
These belong to Prapas
and we found your DNA.
Was it all? Don’t worry about turning yourself in.
My lawyer friend shall help you.
What do you do?
Why do you this, Yupin?
Just confess you killed Noina.
You would not have thought the glasses had your blood.
So you left them on his body…”
And you must not anticipate that forensic science would advance as much.
We can still detect DNA from a single drop of blood, whether it has been ten or one hundred years.
Excellent, Inspector.
You thought you were clever,
trying to play games with the police.
You were mistaken.
Never underestimate the police.
Ms. Yupin,
you kidnapped Noina and murdered Prapas before disguising it as suicide behind Nophavej Hospital 20 years ago.
And not only that,
you even cut off Prapas's thumb to use his fingerprint to confuse the police.
After getting the ransom money
and finding someone to take the blame for you, you killed Noina to cover your tracks.
You're being charged with the premeditated murder of both Prapas and Noina.
For this case, death penalty is the maximum punishment.
Why on earth is she laughing?
Officer,
if you had real evidence,
you would have shown it right from the start,
, instead of just sitting here and talking nonsense.
It seems you're trying to force your baseless evidence on me, hoping I'll confess.
Damn.
“ 6 minutes before the case expires”
Lieutenant.
Yes, sir?
Has the forensics sent the DNA result?.
Not yet.
We’re running out of time. Call them for me.
Of course.
I admit that I used to work at Noppavej Hospital
but I have no idea about anything else.
We have the result. The DNA on Prapas’s glasses matches Ms.Yupin’s DNA.
But the result hasn’t come yet.
What’s your heart made of?
You killed your boyfriend and an innocent girl.
And here you are, still shamelessly lying like this.
“ 2 minutes before the case expires ”
How do you manage to sleep at night?
The image of your boyfriend, whom you killed with your own hands...
Does it haunt you?
The last look that young girl had before she died. Have you forgotten it?
Come on. Say it.
Her mother’s been waiting for the justice for 20 years.
Have you ever felt guilty?
Your life is now over.
Tell me.
Why did you kill Noina.
You already had the ransom.
You didn’t have to kill her.
She was so young, she wouldn't have remembered.
Why did you do it?
"...I insist I didn’t kill them."
"16.30. The statute of limitation expired”
You don’t have anything else, right?
Can I go now?
Dad, we have the DNA result. It’s a 99.98 % match.
Yupin is the murderer.
Why is the result coming out now.
The case has already expired.
Inspector.
Here is the evidence you have me to examine.
30 July 2001, 01.05 am. No stamp
Ms. Yupin.
You are under arrest for murdering Prapas Meenaboon.
What are you saying?
Do you have any evidence?
You have the right to a lawyer.
You have the right to remain silent.
But everything you say from now on can be used as evidence in court.
That’s not true.
You are framing me.
Where’s the evidence?
Here’s the parking ticket showing estimated time when Prapas died.
The statute of limitation on Noina’s case expired but on Prapas’s case, it has just begun.
Take her.
Impossible.
You are lying.
Yupin : You are framing me.
Amara : The one who killed my daughter won’t face any punishment?
Amara : Her death was in vain, right?
Mother…
Even though Noina’s case expired,
we still convict her in another case.
I am terribly sorry.
She killed my daughter, didn’t she?
Then why won’t she be punished for what she did to my daughter?
Why?
If law can do nothing…I will do it myself.
Inspector Risa : Mother
Inspector Risa : Mother stop. Listen to us.
Yanwut : Calm down, please.
Amara : I have waited for 20 years,
I have waited for 20 years,
20 years to see her get punishment for what she did to my daughter.
Amara : And she won’t face any punishment.
It’s not fair.
Noina.
Amara : I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.
In Noina’s case, there was an injustice.
The fact that the police failed to catch the culprit
before the expiration is now the talk of the town....
For whom does the statute of limitation exist for?
The law relating the prescription of criminal offenses is being
thoroughly examined in order to ensure that the case never expire.
Would it include the expired cases?
Yes, we will keep counting the prescriptions until we have the accused for prosecution.
Do you agree with the amendment of statute of limitations?
I disagree on the cases that have already expired.
If a new law is enacted, previous cases must be reexamined.
I see things differently than Dr. From the victim's family's point of view,
letting the criminal goes free when the case is over will render the victim's family dead alive.
I believe Noina's case has shown
that we can find the culprit even after twenty years
However, we couldn't convict the murderer due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.
Dr., do you think it's time to consider changing the law?
They are coming out.
Brother.
Brother, brother. Let him go.
Wat
Let him go.
Brother.
Noina, I am so sorry.
I am so sorry.
Today at 11 o'clock,
a middle-aged woman fell from the roof of Royal Thai Police’s Special Investigation Division
to her death in front of the building.
The deceased was Mrs. Amara Sirimankong, Noi Na's mother.
She spent twenty years seeking justice for her daughter.
However, in the end, Noi Na's case reached its expiration.
The fact that her daughter's murderer was not convicted is believed to be the reason
she decided to commit suicide, as a final plea for justice.
Amara's death has triggered relatives of victims of unsolved murders to rally for justice.
If the statute of limitations is indeed repealed, how do the police plan to handle old cases that cannot be closed?
So the Nong Noi Na case was a failure on the part of the police, right?"
What about the mother who committed suicide? How will the police take responsibility?
I don't want any more losses to occur,
but I'll do my best.
Is it possible to establish a special investigative team to handle these old cases?
Excuse me.
People have taken to the streets in several parts of the country to demand that the law be amended in order to restore justice.
They will stage a protest in front of the Government House until they have some responses.
Don't crack a smile.
Do you like secretly staring at women?
The Legislature passed a bill repealing the criminal statute of limitations.
As a result, all criminal cases will no longer have an expiration date.
After the bill passed, the Royal Thai Police Bureau announced the establishment of a special investigative team nationwide.
to handle cases that cannot be closed.
This is a complete mess...
The directive has been issued. You need to take chargefor all unsolved cases.
I've selected officers who will be part of this team.
What is it
There's an order to transfer you to the Cold Case Investigation Team under the Special Investigation Division,sir.
We are in trouble, Inspector.
Damn it... Chat,
you can prepare to print business cards for the Cold Case Team for the inspector.
Riding a horse without looking at the path is just like this, Inspector.
This transfer order to the Cold Case Team is definitely intended to put you in a difficult position.
Can I offer you some advice, Inspector?
Never go against the boss again.
Just so you know, with all due respect.
Just so you know, with all due res May I also inform you, with all due respect..?
You got transferred too.
What's this about a transfer? Don't sound so ominous.
Hey... , check this out.
You got promoted to the Cold Case Team with the Inspector Risa too...
I'm genuinely thrilled for you.
Oh, let's get a new business card ready for you as well.
You probably had ridden horse without looking the way just like the inspector.
Darn it... Why did I get involved in this?
Hey guys , look at this.
Did you smell something?
Smells like a villain?
Hell no... the scent of sweat.
But beneath that,
there's the fragrance of Chanel Number Five, the perfume the villain used.
Obviously, like a dog.
Some scents are one-of-a-kind and impossible to replicate.
Chanel Number Five is a powdery scent from aldehyde blended with a seductive sweet aroma from ylang-ylang,
and the top notes are lemon.
This villain has excellent taste.
Oh, this smell...
it penetrates the brainstem.
Take note that the accused should have toe fungus or ingrown nails,
therefore he puts yoga powder on his skin.
Those are my socks. I left them here this morning.
How come you let me smell them?
And why do you keep picking them up? Simply throw them away.
Police Lieutenant Yanwut Songsamran Forensics investigator,
here's an urgent transfer order.
Transfer to the cold case team.
Oh, life is about to get interesting.
Why are you concerned?, Pakdi.
We can take credit for the case's resolution if the cold case team truly succeeds.
If they fall short, disband the team
and place the blame for the failure on them.
Are you going to file more charges against me?
I need to ask you a question.
Has this person ever visited you?
Police?
Yes,
he was the officer in charge of Noina’s case.
Twenty years ago, he said he would look for you.
Boyfriend?
I must have been caught if this policeman came to me.
Er, about what I mentioned to you...
Let me handle this issue first within this week.
yes
Well,
I'll talk to you when I get back...
Let everything over first.
What 's up ?
It's me . Lieutenat Win
Is that Captain Yodchai?
Captain.
Here is Lieutenant Win
Captain.
I’m listening
Is it really you,
Captain? I am very grateful. Thanks to the information you provided,
we managed to apprehend the culprit in the case
Captain, have you seen the news?
I still have some doubts.
How did you know that Prapas' corpse was there?
Which unit do you belong to?
And how do you know me?
Let's have a meal together. It's on me.
Look, this will be the last time we'll talk…
What do you mean?
Next time we'll talk again in my year 1990.
By that time,
you must try to convince me.
Everything will start over again.
Remember… only you can change the past.
What are you talking about?
Captain.
Captain, are you all right?
Captain.
The next time we talk, I'll be in 1990.
You must convince me.
Everything will go back to the beginning.
What are you looking at?
Just do your job.
Calm down. You will be in trouble.
These guys are under Dep Pakdi.
Just for his sake.
Calm down
Come on , bo
Carry my belongings to my room.
Where the hell are you going?
Your job is here.
Do you have any problems?...
He helped me, he was nice, what's the problem?
Go help him. He's an old man.
And in less than three days, just help him move out too.
Hope you will never get old yourself.
Damn, nerdy.
Just go to the room.
Yes, sir
Are you trolling with me..?
Don't tell me you're sitting here.
Oh no!
Ugh, what's that smell?
Is it a dead rat?
Holy shit!
Hey, what's that awful stench?
Hold on, don't come in. The toilet is backed up, and it's not flushable.
Close the door.
Seriously, do we have to work in this mess?
Why don’t they have us work in the restroom?
What did that jerk eat? This smell is unbearable.
Given the intensity of this odor, he might be having gastrointestinal issues.
The body might not be properly absorbing fiber.
I can't confirm it without further examination. To be certain, we need to inspect the color and collect a sample for testing.
Enough... I'm going to puke. Your words are too vivid.
How long do these two have to stay here?
Should we head back?
You go alone.
Good morning, Inspector.
Look at our office.
It's so disrespectful. You must speak to the boss.
Inspector?
Is everybody here?
I believe there should be another behavior analyst, but I haven't seen him yet.
Lord Buddha, may I be successful here.
Oh!!! Lord, please. You do have tremendous power.
What exactly is this?
You must have heard about a serial murder case at Paed Rew, right?
It was a well-known case that had remained unsolved for almost thirty years.
The first victim was discovered in Tambon Nam Daeng between April 1931 and 1933.
The killer murdered nine more people, a total of ten cases.
All of the victims were female. They were all killed in the same manner.
Specific knots were tied around their necks, hands, and feet.
The more the victims struggled, the tighter the strangles became until they suffocated.
All the victims were working women, dressed in skirts and high heels.
What's suspicious is that there haven't been any more reports of this type of murder since we discovered the body of the tenth victim.
Several investigative teams have worked on this case. But none of them were able to identify the killer.
And this case will be the first case that the Cold Case Team.
Why does it have to be this case?
Sir, this case happened for over thirty years ago.
There must be no more evidence left to investigate. I think we should with a simple case, shouldn’t we?
Noina’s case happened decades ago and you guys did it.
It would be fun.
Here comes your helper
Helper or Nemesis, I am not sure
This was a well-known case in the past.
I believe it should be the inaugural case for the cold case team
Don't you think so?
I don't need to introduce Lieutenant Win as the team's behavior analyst...
let's get started.
Why is the team's atmosphere so dull?
They assigned this case to us. It's clearly like throwing poop
Don't think that way...
think that the case is difficult. This is a challenge for us.
You speak with such bravery.
This case serves as a reminder to the public that the police have failed.
And rehashing this case is akin to scouring old sores.
Doing this case must make us repulsive to the entire bureau.
Why are you afraid that someone will hate you if you do the right thing?
It's not as simple as you believe.
If you don't know anything, it's best to stop talking.
If we start by thinking we can't do it, that it's too scary, we'll never get anything done.
When this case happened, the Lieutenant was probably still playing with rubber bands.
Listen to the inspector, sir.
I believe the sergeant probably struggled with math. The case occurred 33 years ago, and I'm only 26 now.
I wasn't even born back then. What was the sergeant up to at that time…
Hey, Lieutenant
Enough,
we have work to do. After all, we're on the same team.
You can inject it
I won’t.
There are 13 police officers called Yodchai in the Investigative Deparment.
Based on his voice and manner of speaking, it can be inferred that Lieutenant Yodchai is likely not over 35 years old.
Therefore, if I eliminate 7 whose age and work history do not align with this criteria,
6 will remain.
Have you ever heard of Noina's case?
I've heard that before. But I was long ago reassigned to the traffic department.
Captain.
Captain. Are you a member of the investigation team?
My name is on the investigating team.
But because I've been following my supervisor since the beginning, I haven't spent much time investigating the case.
What's the matter?
Captain..
I am ready, Lieutenant. Please excuse me.
Are you the captain working on Noina's case?
My name is Yodchai. However, I did not work on Noina's
Hello, uncle.
Oh, Risa, how are you? How's everything?
I am fine, uncle. And, how about you?
Good.
I brought the watch to be fixed.
Didn you just go to the shrine?
Um...it's been a while since I last went there.
And when are you getting married?
The clock is ticking.
How could I find the time to start a family, uncle?
Time has passed, it can't be reversed.
And this watch is already very old. It's not worth repairing anymore, is it?
Uncle, this was the first case that Yod worked on, right?
Yes... This case was Yod's debut.
At that time, he practically lived at the police station for a month, eating and sleeping there.
He was so determined to catch the culprit.
But the culprit was not caught.
But Yodchai believed that someday, there would be a policeman who could catch him.
No one has been involved in the Noi Na case.
It must be one of these three.
Captain.
Are you Captain Yodchai?
Captain.
Are you Captain Yodchai?
Er... I'm a Police Sergeant, a Major Police Sergeant at the Wang Takhian Police Station.
Who is speaking, please?
Captain, do you remember me? I'm Lieutenant Win.
He must mistake me with someone else...
Lieutenant Win... Who is he?
Er... Excuse me.
I might not recall you.
It's okay.
You're doing fine, aren't you?
I couldn't reach you. I was getting worried.
Thank you so much, I'm okay.
Now I'm searching for Ms. Saijai Srisanoh, who disappeared last night.
Saijai Srisenoh?
Yes...
Do you mean the seventh victim in the Paed Riew serial murder case?
Wasn't the body found in the well?
How could you have known?
Are you here?
How was I supposed to be there?
I am just going through the case files.
According to the records, Sai Jai was the 7th victim, and the 8th victim was found on the night of November 5, 1933,
at the railway line at Khlong Bang Phra Junction, Bang Toei Subdistrict.
And... the ninth body was found at….
This way!! We found her!
Captain.
Why doesn't he know about this case?
Contact the rescue unit. Commence the search.
Gather the evidence in the vicinity.
Yes, sir.
How could he possibly know?
April 4, 1990, another serial murder victim found in Paed Rew (Case 7 Miss Saijai Srisanoh)
