Hello, Inspector... I’m Police Sub-Lieutenant Marisa Nuankrachang. I’ve come to report for duty, sir!!!
The inspector’s at that table.
Thank you.
Hello, Inspector... I’m Police Sub-Lieutenant Marisa Nuankrachang. I’ve come to report for duty, sir!!!
Welcome to the investigation section....
You’re a new police officer; learn the actual performance from your seniors in the investigation team for now.
They’re all kind. Do you understand?!!!
Yes...., sir!!!
Wrong hand.
Just joking. That was right.
The inspector’s not here. He’s out to lunch.
We’ve set a table for you over there.
Come out, come out. Don't mess with it. Come out.
Yot, do you think she’s gonna make it for the whole one month?
If so, be her trainer.
Me?...
Look at the face of each of us.
You are the one who’s most suitable.
The accused had mental agitation resulting from the intake of ya ma.
After the agitation and hallucinatory condition,
he slashed the necks of both his wife and their child.
Let me go.
Somebody's gonna kill me.
Is there anything wrong with you?
No, there isn’t.
Why are you crying?
Nothing.
There’s no need to be embarrassed...
Everyone has cried.
I myself have cried…,
even harder than you.
You see the detective team with brutal faces at the section?
They’ve all cried.
Their faces being brutal like that as you see, some of them cry like little kids, I’m telling you.
Seeing people die….,
no matter how many more times you do so,
there’s no way you can get used to it.
That's why we have to make sure we can catch the culprits...
If it’s the families of the victims…,
how many hundreds of times greater than our feeling is theirs?
Maybe they won’t be able to forget it for the rest of their lives.
You must remember this feeling well...,
and from this second onwards,
you must do everything to make sure that you can catch the murderer…
because it’s our duty.
You’re feeling better, right?
Yes.
Who have you come to see, son?
Thank you.
Ruedi should be in heaven...,
free from hardship now.
It's a shame. She just finished her degree;
hadn’t worked for long, and she had to pass away.
I watched the news and learned that the police could catch the killer because of Ruedi’ stun gun. Is that true?
Yes…, if it weren’t for Miss Ruedie's stun gun as evidence…, we shouldn’t have been able to catch the killer.
That shot gun was given to her by Sergeant Yot.
Sergeant Yot you mean Sergeant Yotchai, Right?
Yes,… back then the two liked each other.
What manner of driving is this?
Are you crazy, driving like this?
It's okay. Please come up.
-What? -Please come up.
Just come close to the roadside. Come.
Come.
You were driving unwatchfully.
You didn't slow down at all, or watch to see if there were people walking on the crosswalk.
I'm going to take my boss to the meeting with the mayor.
That’s not my business.
What are you doing?
Take it as helping. Take this and go get some oliang to drink to do away with the heat.
Excuse me.
Just a moment, please. Ruedi, take care of this.
Okay.
Hello.
Is there anything I can do to help you?
Yes. Well, I'm Sergeant Major 3rd Class Yotchai Kanthongchai from Wang Takhian PPS.
I’m here with the purpose to, ask permission to search the information about the accused.
Just a moment, please.
It’s done......
Thank you.
Is there anything else I can do to help you?
It's done.
Thank you.
It’s a stun gun. I’d like you to keep it, for self-defence.
Press this button.
Okay. That’s enough.
For on some days you might have to go home alone.
I think we can't trust many people these days.
It’s the first gift Sergeant Yot gave Ruedi....
Ruedi could sit smiling watching that stun gun every day.
She played it every day, Daughter.
Oh,
what happened to it?
Back then I found her very funny,….
getting a stun gun as a gift.
What sort of man is this, giving this kinda gift to a woman?
It’s really funny.
I'm...
I'm going to submit my resignation letter.
Is it because of the matter about Ruedi?
Ruedi wanted to give it to you, …
but she didn’t have the courage to.
She was a shy person from the time she was a child...
Sergeant Yot.
Yes.
Take courage.
Thank you.
Sergeant Yotchai was the one Ruedi loved.
Ruedi said that you were even shier than her,
and you were not good at talking,
but she liked you because you were a good police man.
Can you hear me, Sergeant Yotchai? I'm Lieutenant Win.
Sergeant,....
about the Pat Rew murder case.
We’ve caught the killer.
How could you catch him?
About the evidence we found,
even if we had found it at the time,
forensic science was not advanced enough to for its examination for proof.
But....
that we could catch the killer was because of the stun gun you gave Ruedi…
That piece of evidence was left for us by you...
No matter how advanced the present technology is…,
if we hadn’t had this evidence, the killer would’ve slipped through our fingers again.
Even though we were slow....,
we’ve caught him.
Everything you’ve done,
everything you’ve done for Miss Ruedi…
hasn’t been in vain, so don't you ever blame yourself.
Thank you very much.
You got the news so soon, Inspector
I was just gonna call you.
It’s a man's skeleton, right, Doctor?
Yes... 180 centimetres tall.
He should’ve been in his middle thirties when he died.
The person to whom this skeleton belongs should’ve been dead for about 20 years.
Where was the body found?
A forest in Ratchaburi.
There’s no inter-locking nail in the right shoulder, Inspector.
Who’s the person you’re searching for?
Thank you, Doctor.
Hey, it looks cool.
It does, doesn't it? I'm the most beautiful in the unit.
If Lieutenant Marisa goes to my unit, she'll be ordinary.
Okay.
Just joking.
The work can be submitted to the boss.
Here he comes. Here he comes.
Now I'm gonna go bring my temperamental young man.
Come here now. Come here now, my friend.
What are you doing?
Risa, … why are you all dressed up like this?
And why are you carrying a gun?
Well,... you know.
I was the one who told her to dress like this…
You don’t have to care…
Here’s the one . I said was the one who seemed to have the potential. Do you think he's suitable.
How can he be suitable?
It's the boss's order. You don't have to ask a lot.
Let's work together. Let's work together.
Please go to the car now, Captain, so we can take some photos quickly.
I have to go take photos of yet many other units.
Huh…, what photographing?
You’re asking so many questions…. Go.
What's this matter of yours?
Please go to the car now.
Hey, bring the cameras quickly.
Set up the cameras. Back up a bit, please.
How should we pose?
Stand by the car.
Try standing closer together.
What am I here for?
Come on, help me out. Give him the shirt. Wear it now.
Should I stand here?
Yes.
Strong, excellent.
Captain, point your finger at the camera.
As for Inspector, hold the gun and pose.
No. Captain, please put on a bit more somber face.
You too, Inspector Don’t look naïve… We must look strong You’ll be the image of the female police of today
Why the hell do we have to do something like this?
I’m sorry… I’ll try harder.
Here we are photographing for the cover of a police magazine.
You’re the representatives of all the police in the country. You have to be more serious.
Come on,…
let’s do it attentively, so we can get it over with, okay?
Okay.
The important thing is the look in your eyes… When you actually photograph, you have to stare hard at him.
I must be angry.
Angry.
You can look at Na…
Stare at him thinking he’s a culprit.
We gotta be angry with him.
Yes,… like that.
To the front.
You can look at Na…
Stare at him thinking he’s a culprit.
We gotta hate him, too….
Keep staring at him…
You culprit, you bandit…,
you most despicable thing!!!!...
After I finish this work, I’ll kill you all for sure.
I’ll kill you all for sure.
Good,
It can be even more forceful.
I'm gonna kill you
I like it, P'Na.
Turn back to back.
Good, bring your heads closer.
Good, good, good
Point the gun forward.
Even if you escape to hell, I’ll follow and kill you.
I’ll follow and kill you.
Change poses.
Closer,
change poses.
If we don't give it our all today, there might not be a chance tomorrow.
After Miss Ruedi passed away,
have you met Sergeant Yot again?
Yes, I have. He went to make merit for Ruedi on the anniversary of her death every year.
He once told me that he would quit being a policeman.
I don't know what made him change his mind,
but in the end, he didn't resign.
I was so glad…
because good police like Sergeant Yotchai are hard to find.
And do you still meet him these days?
No, not at all.
It’s been almost twenty years, I think. All of a sudden, he just silently disappeared.
Did he disappear around 2001?
Yes, around that time.
Deputy, may I ask you something?
In 2001, when you were working on Noina’s case,
did you know Captain Yotchai?
Why are you asking about him?
I saw in the record that that year he was forced to leave the government service. Why?
Why do you want to know?
There are not many reasons that cause police officers to be expelled.
You should be able to guess already.
Did he commit a serious breach of discipline?
Yes.
And where is he now?
He’s missing.
Why did he disappear?
May be he evaded prosecution.
May be?
And do you have the information about his case?
You have to search for it yourself.
This case is the responsibility of the NACC.
May be he evaded prosecution.
The documents about the case that you need, sir.
Thank you very much.
Corrupt?....
3 August 2001, missing.
Now is 3 August. I’ve come to Nopphawate Hospital as you told me to.
I found a body hanging in the elevator shaft on the building inside.
Police Captain Yotchai extorted money from Mr Suchart Chitseri, or Chart of Khlong Hok,
the owner of a tavern business in Rangsit.
And how much do you think he knows about this matter?
He should know only as much as there is in the case file.
Don’t be unwary about him.
I wanna know what he’s planning to do now.
But we’ve written such an explicit file.
There isn’t any loophole that permits tracing for sure.
If he’s gonna mess with us, make sure we take care of him before he takes action.
Can you hear me.
Now is 3 August.
I’ve come to Nopphawate Hospital as you told me to.
I found a body .
The body found should be that of Prapat, the accused in the Noina kidnapping case.
His thumb was cut off. Somebody killed him, then tried to make it appear like a suicide.
The case report says that he disappeared on 3 August 2001.
I think the actual culprit is the person who killed him to cover up the crime.
That night he wasn't gonna flee anywhere.
Everything’s gonna start over.
He talked to us on the radio here.
Remember, … only you can change the past.
Captain Yotchai should’ve been killed that night.
Suppose his death has caused the communication to go back and start over in 1990 as he tried to tell me.
Who was the killer?... And for what did they kill?
Being able to close the Pat Rew murder case is the work that has afforded reputation
and credibility to our Special Investigation Division,
and to commend the efficient performance,
Police Major General Komdate Ong-artman, the Commissioner of the Special Investigation Division,
is going to come up to present a plaque of honor to all the officers who have been involved
and have contributed to the closure of this case.
Excuse me.
Firstly, I would like to invite Police Lieutenant Colonel Marisa Nuankrachang,
the Head of the Pending-Case Investigation Team, to come up and receive the plaque of honor.
This plaque is given as a morale booster for your team.
Please be earnest in continuing to perform your duties with higher efficiency.
Thank you.
Wut.
I've been working until my hair’s close to turning grey and I just got the first award in my life…
It feels odd, for some reason.
Uncle, if the plaque were changed to stars on the shoulders, I would be delighted.
And on this occasion, I'd like to invite the commander to say a few words to our staff. Please.
I must ask permission from the National Police Director.
Initially, I must commend the special investigation team for the black case.
And once again, congratulations on the award you just received. It guarantees that
all of you are good police officers.
From now on, I hope everyone continues to work with full dedication and maintain this goodness forever.
Thank you.
Where can good police be found?
There are only bandits in uniform.
The bastard Yot’s the damn epitome,
demanding the money under the table from me every month.
If I didn’t pay, he’d take his people to cause disturbance. The customers fled. It was a complete disaster.
As the new boss had come, he wouldn’t have anything to do with bribes and money under the table.
As he pressured him hard, he just fucking ran away.
Both the witnesses and the evidence plainly showed that Captain Yot was really corrupt.
A person such as him will never do this kinda thing.
On this occasion, I would like to thank Police Major General Kongdet Ong-adman,
the Central Special Investigation Commander, for the honor of presenting this plaque, and thank you to all the staff.
There must’ve been someone who made a plan to slander him.
If there had been no insiders talking part in it…,
there would have been absolutely no way the false evidence and witnesses could be so neatly-prepared.
The person behind it must have had enough power to be able to do this kind of thing.
And who is he? …. And why did he have to do so?
I wiped it just now. Don’t be excited over new stuff.
You’re the one who’s excited…
You’re both given to excitement over new stuff.
I’ve seen you take turns to wipe it for a long while…
I say the surface’ll wear away in three days. Wanna bet?
Shits given to excitement over new stuff are still better than shits given to envy.
Whatever kind of shit you are, that’s your business, I’m gonna go take a shit now.
Just go quickly before you shit your pants, you.
Why are you making loud noise, Lieutenant?
We’ve just formed a team, after working on the first case,
we got the award already. Obviously, we’re a divine team.
It’s Lieutenant Win’s work, not ours.
What are you talking about, Inspector?
The work was done as a team.
The pending-case team’s coming into being and eventually being able to bring about a work was started by
Lieutenant Win’s discovery of Prapat’s body.
What you’re saying’s true.
He was lucky. That’s all.
How lucky must you be,
Chiang, to find a body in the elevator shaft of a hospital that’s been closed for over 20 years?
Or did the Lieutenant have some lucky charm, some kuman whispering to him?
How did you know it? Just say it.
Well....,
it's a profiling technique.
Anyone who has learned it can do it.
Well....,
Today I must excuse myself for now. See you.
Speaking from nearly thirty years of field experience plus a plaque of honour, …
apparently, you’re talking unreasonably.
Open the drawer to see if there's a kuman thong, bro.
You didn't have to say that.
What's profiling? I don't know it.
You’re saying that the bastard Lieutenant Win went to see you. Is that right?
Yes…, he came to ask about the bastard Yot,
but I told him as I told the police in the testimony back then.
You're sure you didn't let any other things slip.
I'm not stupid.
During this time, if there isn’t something really important, don't call me yet, and beware the bastard Lieutenant Win.
You’re warning the wrong person, I think…
I say you’re the one who should well beware.
Sergeant Yotchai,
Sergeant.
Communication doesn't occur every day,
but we can communicate at the same time every time,
The radio signal will permit communication at 11:23 PM.....
What about the time in the past?
The past...
The time’s indefinite.
First contact, 3 August 2001.
Now is 3 August.
I’ve come to Nopphawate Hospital as you told me to.
If you hear it, please answer.
Remember, you alone can change the past.
What are you talking about?
Captain, are you okay?
I remember hearing gunshots the second time.
he should’ve been killed?...
This should be the cause of Captain Yotchai’s disappearance in 2001.
Third contact, back to 4 April 1990, back then Captain Yotchai had just joined the police.
I'm Sergeant Major 3rd Class Yodchai from Wang Takhian PPS, not a captain. Who’s speaking?
With whom can communication be done through this radio?
The fact that I could communicate with Captain Yotchai caused the past to be changed
and also caused the present to change accordingly.
Wasn’t Yuwadi, the eighth victim, murdered?
No, I'm gonna ask her for the information about the case.
It's impossible.
The information we have is that he was killed, right?
Wat.
Hey.
How was your sleep?
Your hair is messy.
Did you have a tough day at school today?
Yes, it was.
Wow, you even have homework. Is it done?
It's done.
Really?
Yes.
I'll have to check it when we get home. Let's go home.
Okay.
arms up.
Reassemble complete. Let's go.
Ready? One, two, go.
Wat.
Yes?
when we get back, we’ll have a mango to eat.
Where did you get it from?
Promise you won't tell anyone.
I promise.
I sneaked by a house behind your school and picked it.
This is what they call stealing.
Even if I hadn’t picked it, it would’ve fallen anyway. They don't care.
Even so, you need to ask their permission first.
Woe... Won’t get it.
Promise me you’ll never do this again.
I promise.
Sing me a song.
What song is this?
It's ...
Before the sky clears,
before the warmth of the sunlight.
If the past changes,
the present will also change.
"10 Sept. 1996" Street in the alley in front of the house of Chief Prosecutor Manoon
The shadowless thief has burglarized three houses in a row already. Would he still dare come back to this area?
If he didn’t come, that’s good.
If he did, then we got bad luck.
How are you over there?
All right, but there are so many mosquitos.
I'll be back in a moment. Please take care of this spot.
There's nothing. We've been waiting for a long time.
What are we having?
Coffee.
Can I have a cigarette?
I'm out.
Can I borrow a lighter?
Thank you.
We got a disaster now!
Deploy in a circle around the house. Make sure that he can’t get away.
Behind the house.
Damn,… why are you catching me? I’m Yotchai.
And why the hell are you here?
I just finished taking a piss.
Dammit!!! Fucking took a piss just now…
And where the hell did the thief go?
What are you guys doing standing here…
Separate and search for the thief. Go!!!!
You could take a piss at any other time, but you didn’t. We got disastrously bad luck.
When you need to take a piss, can you fucking stop it?
But I’m puzzled…
We lay in wait for him in every direction.
How could he escape?
Right… There were police by the dozen but we couldn’t catch just one thief.
I think we blew it when the guy found you coming out running away from the dog with a startled look on your face.
Just go investigate from those who just got out of prison first of all.
These people are skillful in prying open safes.
Separate and go investigate, then you’ll see what happens.
If you find anyone suspicious, just drag him to question him immediately.
And, for next time, I beg you, please take care of relieving yourself before investigation.
Since when did you get a new car, Dom?
What new car? It’s a secondhand car.
I just bought it. I plan to use it to make a living.
And how did you get rich, having the money to buy a car?
How else could I get rich? I make an honest living...
Well,… did you go anywhere last night?
There!…
You’re thinking I'm the shadowless thief, aren’t you?
Hey,… I haven't said anything.
Apparently, you got a suspicious look on your face.
Even a child can tell.
This kinda work… is obviously suicide. I’m not gonna do it.
I've been through prison.I don't wanna go back there again.
Then tell me what you did last night?
What should I be doing?
I delivered stuff from morning till night.
As I got home, as soon as my head hit the pillow, I fell asleep. Honest work’s really exhausting.
And do you think to do easy work again?
I would swear to any deity,… believe me,… the epithet “wind-riding bandit” is in the past now....
Hello, Uncle Yot.
Hello, Cha-em.
Hey...please make very sure that you don't let this slip in front of my kid.
Okay.
I was passing near here, so I came by before returning home.
Have you come because of the burglary at the prosecutor's house last night?
What?
Well...The way to your house is not round here.
You see,... even a child can tell.
We're not done yet. Bring another bottle.
Okay.
Are you tired these days?
Yes, very tired. Crime is rampant.
Here you go.
Come on, Cha-aim.
if you don't hurry and eat, auntie and dad will finish it all.
There are a lot of side dishes.
By the way, about the burglar last night, have you known any suspect?
I really haven't come because of that.
I think it looks odd, Uncle.
Coming out to steal frequently, there’s a very high risk for being caught there.
Professional thieves don't do that. I think he must be a beginner.
You’re just a child. How can you know anything?
I've been with my dad since I was born.
When he was in jail, you were the one who took care of me. All my life I’ve always been around bandits and police.
Hey, point it correctly. Remember only the good things.
That's true....
I saw on the news that since the case of frequently repeated burglary came about,
none of the stolen items has been found yet. Is that right?
Usually the reason burglars come out to steal is they’re in urgent need of money.
Once they got the stuff, they gotta sell it quickly.
You got a lot of connections who are like Dad.
How come no one has found a single stolen item?
Isn’t that right?
Like father like daughter…. You’re smart as befits my kid, really.
What Cha-em said is worthy of consideration…
You think it’s not odd?
It is.
The houses of those millionaires got darn good security systems.
How could the burglar easily get inside and steal like that?
That I’ve come to see you is because I think… you’re the only person who should know best about this matter.
I’ll follow the news for you… If I get any information, I’ll send the news.
If you can catch the burglar, come take Cha-em and I out to dinner.
BBQ buffet.
Oh!
Yes!
Eat the fish instead, kitty!
I trust you....
Uncle...
Hold on, Uncle...
Is there anything?
Have I ever lied to you?
This matter really has nothing to do with dad… Believe me.
It’s time you should quickly go take a shower and go to bed.
Here it is, Uncle...
What is it?
I’ve recorded some songs. Take it to listen to the songs while driving. That way you won’t be bored.
Go home sometimes. You darn near terribly stink.
Have a good dream.
You haven't come home for about a week.
You just got here and you’re going outside again.
These days there are a lot of bandits.
I have to make sure to catch them quickly, Dad.
Have you gone to the shrine again?
Yes.
I went to pay homage and pray for blessings for you,
so that your fortune will be good. I prayed for you to be protected by deities.
You no longer hear the ghost in that radio now, right?
I haven't heard it in a while.
This is why I’ve gone get a talisman cloth to paste it with…
Don’t remove it, otherwise it'll bother you again. Every time it comes, there’s only bad luck.
And about your clothes, don’t you think to wash them at all?
I’ll wait until I’ve caught the cat burglar. Then I’ll wash them at one time.
You must be the stinkiest cop in the country.
Have a good dream, Dad.
Every time you say this, your mother comes to my dream and complains.
How have you been taking care of our son? Why have you allowed him to be dirty like this?
Gotta go.
Lieutenant Win.
Do you know who the cat burglar is?
Where did he disappear to?
Play softly. Auntie wants to sleep.
Madam, where are you going all dolled up?
Okay. It’s almost done, Mr Kop. See you soon.
Whose dress is it, Mom?
Your sister must be beautiful when she’s wearing this…
Mom,.... it’ll just ruin the image of inspectors.
If I let her wear the kinda clothes she likes to wear,
and take the gun with her, men would all run away.
Or should I hem it to make the edge a bit higher?...
That way she’ll get to let them see her thighs a bit.
You’re overly hard-selling, Mom.
By the way, what does Uncle Kop’s son do for work?
He’s a lawyer.
Your sister’s a cop. If she gets a lawyer for a husband,
that’ll be a perfect fit.
How good... The wife pursues the bandit, and the husband comes to act as the lawyer.
Are you going to help clean up?
Oh my,
go play downstairs, you two monkeys. Get up.
Sorry, the two monkeys are really mischievous.
That pen in front of you is erasable, right?
You have an appointment for lunch with Uncle Kob’s son.
Handle it for me. I'll wait downstairs.
I don't think I’ll get married, mom.
I'll be a widow.
Real troublemaker!
In my time, there’s a case,a break-in at the home of a prosecutor named Manoon.
I need you to find out who the thief really is
Why are you suddenly so interested in this case? Tell me.
This isn’t a routine abduction.
It looks like they purposely left clues for us.
Then bring evidence to prove it.
Now that I think about it.
This connection between us. It was never supposed to exist.
Inspector
Don’t come! Please
Don’t!
