The 7th,
the 7th.
Lieutenant,
Lieutenant. Who are the people who live in this area?
Senior Sergeant Major,
Senior Sergeant Major, Today is 7 right?
Yeah, it’s the 7th.
Senior Sergeant Major, could I use the phone?
To call whom?
Miss Ruedi… She’s gonna get killed today.
I gotta make a call to tell her right now.
You haven't recovered from your madness?...
I'm not mad...
She’s gonna get killed today
I’m telling the truth.
Could I use the phone?
Don’t listen to whatever he says. This bastard’s crazy.
Yes,sir.
Senior Sergeant Major, She’s gonna get killed today
Let me go....
I’m telling the truth.
Let me go....
I gotta go save Ruedi.
I'm not mad...
Let me go....
I said, "Let me go".
Everything’s still the same…
You couldn’t act soon enough to save her?
You’ve gotten to work early in the morning.
Guess you won’t let it end yet…
There’s no way we can contend with them.
It’s good that they’re doing it.
They got a heap of people as a supporting team,
having taken the whole department with them like this.
Though we’re not working on Bang-orn's case,
the Pat Rew serial murder case’s still our team's responsibility.
Well, let's see who’ll catch the killer.
The forensic autopsy results indicate that Bang-orn's death was different from those of all the previous victims,
who were tied up before being killed.
Bang-orn, on the contrary, was killed first, then tied up.
Which means the killer’s not the same person.
Now it can't be determined yet,
but what I'm sure of is that the person who killed Bang-orn must have something to do with the serial murder case.
This.
I took them by stealth. Found them under Bang-orn’s body. For the culprit may have left some trace.
Wow....
You're not only good at smelling, your hand’s also quick.
Of course. I’ve sent them for examination.
Now I’m waiting for the result.
Cool!
When we got to the scene, the door of her room wasn’t locked, and there was no trace of leverage.
Um...
Possibly it was someone she knew.
The case has disappeared from public notice for thirty years,
but the problem came up again after the case was reopened. Two assumptions can be made.
Firstly, it’s because the culprit wanted to challenge, wanting to play a game.
Secondly, he wanted to destroy some evidence.
But what’s most certain is the person who committed the killing of Bang-orn
must have something to do with the person who was the murderer thirty years ago.
He killed a person to destroy the evidence?
It's just a possibility.
Let's say I'm going to check at the bus garage.
I may get some information.
Have these two cameras been checked?
Yes. They worked,
but I couldn’t see the entrance to the apartment.
What about these two?
They're out of order.
What about the ones at the front of the cars?
I’ve checked them; I didn't see anything.
Damn it. We're not gonna get anything, are we?
Have you collected all the footage?
Yes.
Then go.
Yes.
Choke, you and I are of different classes.
Oh, oh.
Oh, what's the matter with you?
I got a stomachache.
I just got it all of a sudden. It's very bad. Help me.
Go outside now. ...Get up slowly.
I really got a stomachache. It's very bad.
Sorry… It’s really necessary for me. I must save Ruedi.
Ruedi...
Who are the people who live in this area?
Sergeant.
Open the door, Sergeant.
Sergeant.
Ruedi,… Ruedi.
Ruedi…
Hello, Mom… Has Ruedi come home yet?
She called and said that she was gonna get off work a bit late today.
Ruedi,… Ruedi.
Ruedi...
Sorry, Uncle Sa-ngat.
Uncle Sa-ngat.
have you seen any light-skinned woman with a bang come this way?
Over there?... Thanks, uncle.
Press fast-forward, Squad Leader Arm,
fast-forward.
You pressed rewind.
Start at moment that someone walks out
Wait, wait.
Hello, Inspector.
I went to see Uncle Sa-ngat at his house but didn’t see him.
I think he’s in the hospital. Do you know at which hospital he receives treatment?
I’ve had it written down... I’m gonna send you the address right away.
Thank you.
Have you gotten any information?
Yes, I have… Even if the evidence is smaller than an ant egg, it won’t be undetected by Yanawut’s eyes.
I could distinguish latent fingerprint from the shards of the wristwatch glass that had fallen in the room.
Whose fingerprint?
It's being examined,… but what’s certain is it’s not Bang-orn's.
That helps me a lot.
Further, further
Do you think the person who just came out of the apartment is suspicious?
How?
Since he came out of the apartment, he kept walking with his head lowered, not looking at the way,
so he almost got hit by a bicycle. You didn't see it?
Damn, he knew the camera angle… A thief, obviously.
Rewind. Rewind again a little bit.
Damn, his face looks like that of Uncle Sa-ngat.
Wait, wait. Pause now. There's a ??
at the corner. Do you see it? Zoom in, zoom in.
zoom in.
Damn,… it’s really Uncle Sa-ngat.
Are there other corners? Watch them.
Uncle Sa-ngat.
That’s the same day I talked with him before I went to see Bang-orn....
Uncle Sa-ngat has stopped driving since 1990.
And are there still people who used to work with Uncle Sa-ngat back then?
You’re Uncle Chuan, right?
Yes,Sir
I'm Police Lieutenant Win Wichairat of the pending-case team.
Okay,have a seat
I’m gonna ask you something about Uncle Sa-ngat.
About Sa-ngat, I still remember the news back then.
And were you close to Uncle Sa-ngat?
He didn’t socialize much.
He got a lot of problems in his life back then.
What problems?
Is there a patient named Sa-ngat Thinthongsuk here?
Is there anything?
Oh,
Please allow me to check on some information.
okay.
There’s no patient named Sa-ngat Thinthongsuk.
There’s none?
But there’s a patient named Mr Manat with the surname Thinthongsuk. He was just admitted three days ago.
Thank you.
Have you found Sa-ngat yet, Inspector?
No, I haven't. Why?
The test result confirmed that there was a fingerprint in Bang-orn’s room.
It was Sa-ngat’s. From the CCTV footage,
it was found that he actually came out of Bang-orn’s apartment the day she was killed.
Sa-ngat’s certainly the murderer, Inspector.
He got a problem from his son’s accident,
so he quit his job, sold his house, his field.
Spent the money on his son’s treatment.
After he quit his job, I haven’t seen him.
Just a moment.
What's up, Senior Sergeant Major?
Go to Siriwat Hospital right now. I’ll send you the location information.
And why should I go?
Sa-ngat’s the murderer.
How’s that possible?
He got nothing that matches the culprit’s profile.
Even the age doesn’t.
Never mind your profile. Just come quickly.
Sa-ngat was driving the bus, while Sergeant Yotchai was running after the killer…. That’s impossible.
Uncle....,
when Uncle Sa-ngat’s son had an accident, how old was he?
twenty.
He had to look after his son himself,
for his wife left him when his son was only six.
He got a bad wife. She always tied up their child,
then went out to have a good time.
I'll be back. Don't run away anywhere.
Every night Uncle Sa-ngat finished working his shift and got home late and always saw his son tied up.
He was patient until his wife eventually ran away with her lover.
I think he’s probably been lost since his wife left him.
He had to drive the bus and his son was constantly sick
he was on his own, having no relatives,
so he always took his son on the bus with him.
About struggling with life, he’s excellent.
Even when he had grown into a young man,
I still saw his son following him on the bus every day.
They had only each other, so he loved this son very much.
If Sa-ngat’s
not the murderer....
I’ve tried subjecting the spots where the body of each victim was found to analysis.
Thank you.
It's nothing.
The areas where the bodies of all the victims were found are related
by the route through which a bus ran towards downtown.
If Sa-ngat’s not the murderer....
Thank you very much.
(Lieutenant Win ran outside in such a hurry that he didn't say goodbye)
What if the whole thing's a lie?
Sa-ngat had no choice but to lie when he was questioned.
Mister, mister, wait for me.
Stop.
Hey, mister, let me go.
Hey, ...
Da.
In his life there were only the two of them, father and son, so he loved his son very much.
please let me ask you who drove the last bus two days ago.
I drive the last bus every day.
Two days ago, do you remember whether,
round the Bang Phra community before the garage,
you picked up any passengers wearing black, with black caps?
Of course, I do……
Nobody got on.
Sa-ngat lied because he wanted to protect his son.
What's the matter
Inspector, listen to me.
Sa-ngat’s not the murderer....
Who’s the murderer, then?
Sa-ngat lied because he wanted to protect his son.
The real murderer is....
Inspector, Inspector....
What happened?…
Inspector!!!....
Excuse me, please let me go along.
Which floor?
3rd floor, please
Hurry up, Senior Sergeant Major.
What happened?
Go for now. Don’t ask yet.
Inspector!!!....
Stop. Don't move... Hold up your hands.
What happened?... And where did Sa-ngat go?... And who’s this guy…?
this woman holding a gun..., so I was frightened…
I was just defending myself.
Sa-ngat’s not the murderer...
It’s him…who’s the actual serial killer of the Pat Rew case.
I really didn’t know it.
Mr Sa-ngat Thinthongsuk has come to surrender himself to the police, claiming
(that he was the serial killer in the Pat Rew case We got a disaster now...
who’d been at large for more than thirty years.) Sa-ngat has surrendered himself.
Mr.Manasanan Thongsuk gave the reason that he could not stand the pressure from the police,
who were trying to reopen the case for re-investigation.
I was the one who did it.
I was the one who killed Bang-orn,....
and also killed those women thirty years ago.
He’s not the person who committed the murder thirty years ago.
He actually killed Bang-orn,
but he’s certainly not the murderer who committing the killing of the victims in Pat Rew thirty years ago.
The real killer’s his son..., and that Sa-ngat would confess was in order to protect his son.
What about the evidence?
There’s no evidence yet.
So this is the way you guys are!!!....
Tomorrow the commander’s gonna arrange a press conference on the closure of the case.
As long as there’s no evidence, don’t talk about this again.
I’m damn upset…
I’ve been doing investigation work for twenty years and I've never been so into any case as I’ve been into this one.
The bastard Sa-ngat just confessed like that. The fucker Choke simply stole our thunder.
There has to be some evidence that can be used to convict Manat.
Don't get yourself in trouble, Lieutenant.
Tomorrow they’ll declare in the press conference that Sa-ngat’s the murderer,
and if we impudently say that they’ve arrested the wrong person, all of us’ll be done for.
What the hell is that thing you got here?...
It’s a mineral water spray…
Good stuff… For mineral water’s rich in bicarbonate,
which will adjust the level of acidity for balance,
then restore moisture, reviving the functioning of cells.
During this period there’s a special promotion,
three cans for a hundred baht.
We’re stressed at the moment.
Sergeant Yot, can you hear me?...
Sergeant,… I’m Lieutenant Win.
Sergeant,...
Please answer.
Sergeant,.......
If you can hear me, please answer.
Hello…
I'm listening.
How’s the last victim?
Miss Ruedi Ploenwali, the one who works at the municipality office. Could you save her?
Lieutenant.
Did the killer get caught?
You said that…
you were in 2021,
Has he been caught by then?
Did….
anything happen?...
Is there anything?
I asked you if you’d caught the killer....
Have you caught him yet?!
Well.....,
The bus driver, named Sa-ngat
is him, right.....?
Tell me....
Tell me that he's the murderer.
No…., Sa-ngat’s not the murderer.
If it’s not him, then who is it?..... Tell me.
I'm going to go kill him.
Calm down. What happened exactly, Sergeant?....
You know everything, don’t you?
You know where the body was found,
what time she died.
You know how the killer killed her, don’t you?!!!
You just saw her in the photo,
but for me, it’s not like that.
Ruedi.
Ruedi.....
Ruedi.
A few days ago,I still got to talk to her.
Sergeant Yotchai.
Yes, ma'am.
Take… courage...
Her smile...
I'll never see her smile again....
It’ll be no more........
What was her fault?
What was her fault? Why did it have to be her?....
She was just an ordinary woman, hard-working,
never having a spiteful attitude towards anyone....., but why....,
why did he have to kill her?
You haven’t caught him, have you?
I’ll go kill him myself, then...
You can’t do that.........
Be calm. Listen to me.....
We still got a chance.
The conductor named Bang-orn knows who the killer is.
You have to question her.
Sergeant,.....
are you listening to me?
Please answer me.
Sergeant Yot,
Sergeant,....
Bang-orn?
Yes.
Well...
I've always been trying to figure out.
Why Sa-ngat had to kill Bang-orn even though thirty years had passed,
and the reason is she must have known that Manat’s the real killer.
She died because she blackmailed Sa-ngat with this matter.
And why did she have to wait for thirty long years before she blackmailed him now?
It’s not so. I believe she got some evidence,
and used it to threaten him for money until the limitation period of the crime expired,
The legislature passed the bill into law,
annulling the limitation periods of criminal cases,
from then on, every criminal case would no longer have a limitation period.
After the passage of the bill,
the Royal Thai Police announced the appointment of special investigation teams across the country,
They are specifically responsible for the cases that have not expired yet.
but as the abolition of the statute of limitations was issued.
so Bang-orn got a chance to use that piece of evidence to blackmail Sa-ngat again.
And we’ll be able to know where that piece of evidence is.
Oh, if it really existed, Choke’s team would’ve found it,
for they must have rummaged Bang-orn’s room to inspect every nook and cranny.
That piece of evidence shouldn’t be in her room,…
but there must be a clue there that can tell where she kept it.
We have to start searching for the clue of that piece of evidence from her room...
I agree....
Inspector…
Tomorrow Commander Komdate’s gonna hold a press conference summarizing the Pat Rew case.
Our whole team would get ourselves in trouble.
Inspector…
If you can let go, just let go, I say.
These days, living’s hard already.
You walk into the office to work and everyone fucking gives you the fish eye.
Inspector Win and I are gonna go inspect Bang-orn’s room.
We have to check her passage,
starting from the first day of the issuance of the abolition of the statute of limitations,
and check everywhere…she traveled.
Loei and Wut, please check the call history and movements.
Do you have anything serious?
Do you still have a sore throat?...
A little... It’s nothing serious.
I know what era this is, and you probably don't like what I'm talking about.
In any case, you’re a woman; you shouldn’t go inside by yourself like that. It's too risky.
If I had to be afraid of a matter so small as this,
I would’ve resigned from the police service a long time ago.
What information have you gotten?
I’ve checked her bank account…
No money has come in for months,
and her mobile phone has been cut off.
I think she should’ve been in very serious financial trouble.
Anyway, I'll try to find other ways.
If I get anything, I'll call you immediately.
Okay.
Senior Sergeant Major's checking on additional information.
you rummaged the scene like this?
If I had had a lot of time, I wouldn’t have used this kinda method.
I'm gonna take a look here, Inspector.
The clothes in the closet smelled musty.
She probably rarely wore these clothes.
For a lazy person, who wore whatever she grabbed.
Women like to have several shoulder bags,
but there are just a few that they use regularly.
The rarely used ones are covered with a thick layer of dust.
That means there's one that's often used.
Inspector, I’ve found what can be a clue.
Two days ago, when she was murdered,
Bang-orn traveled to Chachoengsao.
Watch your fingers, Inspector.
Give me some light.
Go.
I’ve gotten her address.
Bang-orn has an aunt in Nam Daeng.
Bang-orn once came to stay at her aunt’s house from 2010 to 2015.
I'll send you the location information.
Okey, send it.
That day she came to see me all of a sudden. She didn’t tell me in advance. She just popped up.
I was surprised. She usually didn’t even think to call me.
By the way, did she get in any trouble?
A police officer having to search my house like this.
And did Bang-orn leave anything with you?
No…
Once she got here,
she went into that storeroom and searched.
I don’t know what she was searching for.
I was gonna help her search but she told me not to.
Inspector.
Excuse me,
What's the matter
Yes, yes. That day she came to rummage for this bag.
Today the Special Investigation Division’s gonna hold a press conference summarizing the Pat Rew serial murder case,
the pending case that has been a mystery for more than 30 years,
the police having been unable to reach a conclusion and close the case.
This is the first numbered pending case that has been reopened
after the abolition of the statute of limitations for criminal cases.
Be still,
turn around,
turn around.
Hello, Inspector.
The killer confessed to all the charges, right?
Yes…. I’ve reexamined every case.
Both the scenes and the killing methods used with the individual victims ,
match Sa-ngat’s statements in every detail.
Sa-ngat’s definitely the real killer.
Very well done.
Excuse me, sir. Sir, it's time.
Please come this way.
Go
Please come this way.
Today I'm gonna declare the outcome of the work on the serial murder case in Chacheongsao Province.
I believe that the journalist brothers and sisters and
the people of our nation who are my family pay a lot of attention to it because
for a long period of more than thirty years.
Then many generations of police officers tried to solve it, but they never succeeded.
However, due to the fact that the government has annulled the law on the limitation periods of criminal cases
I had a chance to work on this case once more.
This case is a serial murder case of a period longer than thirty years now,
and presently, the murder mystery of this case has been solved,
and I believe that the murderer in this case will certainly receive the legal punishment.
Also, for every victim in this case, justice will be restored to their family.
What's the matter, Risa?
We've got the real culprit.
Has anything changed?
Or is there some new evidence? And did it affect the claim?
Please clarify, sir, about any problems that there may have been.
Please clarify, sir....., what the problem was. After all, is there any evidence?
Let's say, be calm now, brothers and sisters.
Let's say,
I'm gonna have Police Lieutenant Colonel Marisa Nuankrachang,
the head of the pending-case investigation team, report the news on this case for you.
If any problem arises, you must be the one who takes the responsibility, Risa.
Sa-ngat’s not the real killer....
From the investigation of the murder case of Miss Bang-orn Noenprai,
the clue that led to the important evidence that could confirm
the identity of the real perpetrator of the Pat Rew serial murder case was obtained.
When you were interrogated as a witness thirty years ago ,
you didn’t tell the truth, did you?
I remember it well…..
Nobody got on.
How could that be?
I’m going home, Orn… I'm tired today. See you tomorrow.
Wait, uncle…
Why did you have to lie to the police, saying that no one got on the bus?
They were talking about Manat, weren’t they?
That day Manat was also on the bus.
Then why didn’t you tell them that he was also there.
The police only asked about the passengers...
What does Manat have to do with it?
Bye.
Have you… seen any light-skinned….. woman, in work uniform, with long hair, walk this way?
That way?... Thanks, uncle.
Help me...
This important piece of evidence had always been secretly kept by Miss Bang-orn.
This piece of evidence had both the fingerprints, and the blood of the last victim on it,
and importantly, it also had the DNA of the real killer.
From this piece of evidence, it can be confirmed that the real murderer is Mr. Manasanan Thongsuk
Mr Manat’s the only son of Mr Sa-ngat Thinthongsuk,
and at present, Mr Manat’s suffering from paralysis,
which was caused by an accident in 1990.
Thus, he can’t commit murder anymore.
As for Mr Sa-ngat his father, he’s the accused in the murder case of Miss Bang-orn,
with the fingerprints in Miss Bang-orn’s room and the CCTV footage nearby as the evidence.
He just copied his son's manner of killing in oder to deflect the case.
Because Manat hated his mother, who constantly hurt him.
Manat hated the fact that his mother had left his f ather and him.
His feelings about his mother were the complex that caused him to kill those women.
You always knew that your son was a murderer,
still you protected him.
I said that I had been the one who did it…
I was the one who killed them.
What condition my son's in,....
don't you see it?...
He really shouldn't have to be in such condition...
It’s not his fault.
It’s not his fault?
Really selfish
The first Victim, Napa, a new medical student,
the second, Sopida, a mother of two,
the third, Suwanan, soon to be married,
the fourth, Nisa,
Chitdi,
Piyada,
Saichai,
Suchada,
Kunlarueni.
Do you dare to say that your son didn't do anything wrong?
Why don't you take a look?
Take a good look!!!!
At all the things your son has done.
You think you're the only person with a precious family on this earth?
They do, too.
Don't you feel sorry for them?
You don't even dare at my eyes.
You just keep your face away, hiding away from reality.
Because he had a weak father,
who let his mother harm him,
Manat had to grow up to become a murderer like this.
If you don't know, don’t talk about it.
What my son did, he has paid for it in full.
This matter should’ve been over by now!!!
Where’s your son?
Why did you do so?
Why did you lie to me?
Where's your son?
Knowing he's the murderer, why did you allow him to be at large?
Please don’t harm me.
Whatever it is that you want, just tell it to me.
I asked you where he was. Is he inside?
Where's your son?
Where is he?
Run away, son!!!!
Stop!
why did you do it?
Why did you kill Ruedi?....
Say it, you animal!!!
Why did you have to kill her?
This is why you lied, saying that no one got on the bus that night, right?
You lied in order to protect him?
My son didn't do anything.
That night, no one got on the bus indeed. I never lie.
If you hadn’t lied,
Ruedi wouldn’t have die.
She would be alive now.
What are you talking about?
I really got no idea… I got no idea.
It’s time you should shut the hell up!!!
Now you listen to me.
You gotta stop him.
No!
How many more people are you gonna let your son kill?!!!
No one got on my bus that night.
Even if you’re gonna torture or kill me,
I’m gonna answer that way!!!
I didn’t lie!!!
My son’s not the murderer!!!
I got it.
No matter what happens,
you’re not gonna admit that your son’s the killer.
Then there doesn’t seem to be no other choice.
No witness.
No evidence,
To let him be the one who says it.
Are you gonna confess everything?
That you killed Ruedee.
Are you gonna confess everything?
Dad...
Say it now.
Say it now!!!!
I'm gonna kill you
Manat.......
It’s because of him,
that most despicable bastard.
What he did to my son!
That most despicable bastard,
Sergeant Yotchai.
he’s the one who stopped your son from killing any more people.
You should even thank him.
Dad.
Dad....
What’s wrong with my leg?
Dad!!!
my leg!!!
What’s wrong with my leg?
The doctor's coming soon. The doctor's coming soon, Son.
Please go outside for now.
The doctor's coming soon. The doctor's coming soon, Son.
Please go outside for now.
Why are you coming again?
You told the doctor that he had tripped and fallen down by himself. Is that right?....
You don't have to lie.
I'm gonna surrender myself to the police to receive the punishment for what I’ve done to your child.
And you should tell the whole truth about what your son has done.
I don't know what you're talking about....
My son went up to the roof deck and fell down by himself.
It has nothing to do with you.
There won’t be anyone who must surrender himself,
you or my son.
Are you gonna keep this matter a secret until the day you die?
The doctor said that he wouldn’t be able to walk again for the rest of his life;
he would be bed-ridden.
Isn’t what my son has gotten now what he fully deserves already?...
My son’s life has been full of torment since he was born.
Tell your son to surrender himself and confess everything.
I’ll never ever do so…
I think he’s already received the full punishment for what he’s done.
If that law on the limitation periods of cases hadn’t been abolished,…
this matter would’ve ended.
Everyone would’ve completely forgotten about it...
why did you have to rake it up?
And what if that day ...
your son ....
were killed by Sergeant Yotchai?
Would you be able to forget it?
Would you really be able to act as if nothing had happened,
laughing,
talking,
eating until you were full, living happily?
No one can forget that kind of thing...
It’s gonna be a nightmare for the survivors,
and the victims' families for the rest of their lives.
At any rate, you gotta get some money for me.
And what about the stun gun?....
Let me keep it for now.
At any rate, you’ve agreed to return it.
I’m asking you to let me keep it for now.
Go back now, Uncle.
No matter how bad Bang-orn was,....
she didn’t deserve to die like this.
You should remember,
about the pictures of the women on this table,
that you had a part in making them die.
You should go look for some other thing to do.
Sometimes being too serious is not good.
Seeing people die,….
no matter how many more times you do so,
there’s no way you can get used to it.
I'm okay,
but you should go see the doctor
and then go back and get some rest...
Hey, they've come out.
Wat...
Mom...., Wat
Is Watt here?
Mom....,
Wat...
You’ve come back?....
Wat...
Wat, Wake up.
Mom...
Wat...
Back in 2001, when you were responsible for the Nong Noi Na case
Did you know Inspector Yodchai then?
Why are you asking about him?
here are only a few reasons a cop gets kicked off the force.
I’m sure you can figure it out.
Watch him closely.
If you reckon he’ll be trouble for us
Finish him.
Lieutenant Win
Even if the testimony and evidence point to the Inspector's corruption.
He’s not the kind of person who would do something like that.
