I really don't know where the necklace is, Uncle....
Or if you’ll have me get some money to pay for it, that’s fine.
At any rate, I really don't know where to get the necklace.
No amount of money compares with it.
Go search for it until you find it, and return it to me.
Otherwise you’re gonna get in trouble for sure.
The budget for this project has been approved by the council.
Next, the project should be open to companies to bid on it soon.
It’s good news that the project has been approved by the council.
It’s also a good sign signifying that this road’s gonna bring progress to the Eastern Region in the future.
Do you have any other questions?
Do you think there was an organization arranged for taking the blame instead of Prosecutor Manoon’s son?
And why did the security guard in the village suddenly confessed that he was a thief.
Do you think there was something lying beyond this matter?
Actually this case has already ended,
but for a common understanding, I’d like to answer.
I believe in Prosecutor Manoon.
He was an honest government official.
I got nothing stuck in my mind about this case.
Thank you.
Sir, please allow me to take a picture of you.
Please look into the camera, sir.
Please also look this way, sir.
Also this way.
Also look to the left.
Also look to the right.
Also look straight.
Also this way.
Sir,
I am Police Captain Yotchai Kaenthongchai from the Central Investigation Department.
I’d like to ask your permission for this.
Have all the stolen items been returned to you?
You agreed to have the action dismissed despite the fact that you hadn’t gotten all the items back.
You’re a policeman.
If you still don't believe in the justice system,
I suppose I don’t have to explain anything to you.
But the reason you had the action dismissed
shouldn’t have had anything to do with the night diamond necklace that had been stolen, right?
Thank you very much, Captain, for working so hard.
If there were good police officers like you everywhere,
the people’d feel secure for sure.
Come… Let's photograph together… Come.
Please also look this way. Also this way. Sir, sir.
Have you well recovered,
having come back to work like this?
A trifle like this is just a piece of cake.
Anyway,
take good care of yourself.
Thank you for your concern.
I once asked you about going back to change the past
even hough you didn’t know whether something good or bad would follow.
You remember that, don’t you?
You replied that if it’d enable you help your loved ones, no matter what’d happen, you’d be happy to do it.
But I think differently.
At least for now when I think that I should let what’s the past remain the past.
Are you crazy lately?
You're talking as if you wanted to be a life coach.
No, I’m not crazy…
I just wanna make the present, where we are,
as good as possible.
Lieutenant Win.
Can you hear me?
Yes.
We've caught Rome,
but someone took the blame instead of him,
so he was released from the charge.
I already know that.
But I think this matter’s not over yet,
for the stolen items are still missing,
and I believe they’re related to a secret....
Captain...
You once said that
the contact between us shouldn’t have happened at all.
Now I agree with you.
Why?
Well...
I don't know how our contact through this radio can happen,
and straightforwardly, now I no longer wanna know.
The only thing I know now is this crazy thing we’re doing,
should no longer go on.
Has something happened?
Because we…
because we can't change the world, Captain,
and we shouldn't think to change it
because the more we change it, the more trouble’ll follow.
Look at this time.
A good police officer nearly died because of what we did, Captain.
But this matter’s very important.
Can you tell me where I can find the stolen items?
You should call it quits, Captain.
Take care.
I can't stop yet.
No matter what, I gotta get the guilty person to receive punishment without fail.
No matter how rich or powerful he is. That’s what police officers like us must do, isn’t it?
Lieutenant...
Hello, Deputy.
Please allow me talk to you.
Okay.
You remember the radio that Yotchai always took with him, right?
Are you ready?
Yeah.
Let’s see. Repeat it.
Release the handbrake,
depress the clutch pedal,
move the gear shift into the gear for moving,
Okay.
depress the accelerator.
Let's go
And why aren't you moving…
Wait, wait, why aren't you moving the gear shift into the neutral gear?
I thought you’d do that for me.
Huh?
You gotta check first. Before starting the car,
check to see whether the gear shift’s in the gear for moving, or the neutral gear,
and it has to be in the neutral gear first,
and about the clutch pedal, when you depress it, you gotta depress it all the way down.
Start over.
It,.... it doesn’t go.
You’re depressing the brake pedal.
How can it go, then? You gotta depress the accelerator.
Oh,
-I depressed the clutch pedal. -Okay, stop.
This car’s probably too big.
We can try another one.
I think that’s good.
Ready?
Yeah.
You can go straight for now.
The accelerator must be continually depressed.
Don’t be afraid. Keep depressing it. You don't have to brake.
-Wait, wait. -Oh.
Wait,wait. Calm down now, calm down.
Wait. Calm down. A person, a person. Brake, brake, Risa.
Do you think she’s gonna make it, Pet?
I think she shouldn’t.
I think she’s in a bad mood for certain.
Sorry.
Where has your mind all gone?
You nearly hit them, both the person and the shrine.
Don’t laugh. You said you would help me teach her.
Hey, she’s a beginner. Give her some moral support.
Teaching her until you died wouldn’t enable her to drive if she’s like this.
Lend some help. Help root for her.
Sorry.
That’s okay. Go slowly.
Is she gonna make it?
Please help by teaching her instead of me.
We're not fit for this kind of job.
It should be a dearest captain like you, Yot. Is that right, Pet?
Hey, but I think she's fighting.
And turn back.
Then come to halt by this pickup. Come.
Where should I halt?
By this pickup. Come now.
Okay.
I will.
-Come slowly. -Okay.
Sorry.
Are you gonna commit mass murder?
Get out of the car now.
The, ... the handbrake.
Good.
Excellent, my friend. Mass fatalities.
Coffee, Pet.
Thank you, Lieutenant.
Coffee, Na.
Thanks.
Here’s Yot’s coffee.
Two spoons of coffee, and one spoon of sugar.
Who told you that?
Well,…
I drink canned coffee.
And serving coffee’s not police officers’ duty.
Then why do you serve it to these guys? They’re not lame.
Spend your time on some duties that are more beneficial.
Calm down. When she had just gotten here, she also did this.
Don't ever serve coffee to these guys. Remember this.
Just do your job well.
Okay.
I’m reproving you and still you’re smiling.
You should go now.
Here’s a sketch of the culprit's face, Lieutenant.
Send the news to everyone quickly.
Yes.
Don't you ever have anything to do with his talisman.
What talisman?
This radio, he hasn’t used it for a long time, but he always takes it with him. He said that it was his good luck cham.
Why did you suddenly ask about that radio?
You’ve also had someone investigate Yotchai, haven’t you?
Whom?
Lieutenant Win.
You really don’t know about this?
Lieutenant Win came to ask me about Yotchai.
Do him know Yot?
You should know about this matter more than I do.
Lieutenant Win has gone investigate Yotchai’s history.
I don't know what you people’re gonna do,
but I’d like to warn you.
Don't cause any trouble like before.
You’ve come to work in the early morning.
This is not called early morning. Instead, you came late.
Try opening your mouth like you just did and blow hard for
for me a bit.
What?
Harder…
With this kind of smell, the quantity of alcohol should exceed 100 milligrams. It should exceed the legal limit.
I rode a bus here,
I didn’t drive a car.
Okay. That’s good.
Papa, by the way, there's a restaurant selling green papaya salad, which was newly open. Let’s go there for lunch today.
Well, that’s good. I'm having a hangover.
I want something hot and spicy to drive it away. I’m gonna slurp, slurpp.
Lieutenant, are you going with us?
Hey, don't invite him.
He won't go with you. He’s afraid of having to treat us.
I'm not afraid of a matter this small.
And is there any restaurant that you like?
Me?
Well, I like to eat American fried rice.
Oh, treat us some other day, then, for I’m not accustomed to Western food.
It’s eating for free; still you’re choosing, Papa.
Hey, that’s really not okay.
If I get something oily today, I’m gonna throw up.
Then, here’s my suggestion, I can treat you to green papaya salad.
You’re the one who said it you said it. Wut, you should be the witness.
-Hello. -Hello, Inspector.
You’re making a loud noise at the very front of the room.
Inspector, for lunch today,
well, someone’s gonna pay for everyone.
Hey.
Are you trying to spy out something?
What are you talking about?
I don't get it all.
Inspector,
someone has asked to see you.
Please come in.
Hello.
Hello, Inspector Risa. I’m Khanin.
Do you know me?
I got the news that your pending-case team works on cases that can’t be closed yet, right?
Yes.
I’ve come here to ask for help with something.
Twenty-five years ago my girlfriend died.
I think there's something abnormal about her death,
and I’m not the only person who has a suspicion about this matter.
At that time there was a captain named Yotchai.
He also had the same suspicion, but suddenly, he just disappeared.
Captain Yotchai?
Yes.
Do you know him?
Huh? Well,…
My thoughts just flowed. He should be a police officer I knew, and had the same name. That’s all.
Here are the pictures of my girlfriend Saitharn.
Oh, posing like a beautiful model like this, she can be a star.
Saitharn wanted to be an actress.
These pictures are the ones she sent for modelling.
Okay.
Good.
Wait. Here, walk up a bit. Ah, that's enough. That’s enough.
Nin...
Nin!
Attach a mark on her.
Oh, okay.
No.
It’s done, so get out of the frame. Go.
When I first met Saitharn, I was a photo assistant.
She was a sweet person,
and she was very serious about her life.
Whenever she thought to do something, she would be bent on achievement.
When she couldn’t make it,
she wouldn’t tell anyone about it.
She kept it only to herself.
In the end she committed suicide.
Huh?
And with what do you want us to help you?
I want you to search for her.
Hmm.
You've come to the wrong place. We’re not media.
Well,... here’s the matter.
This is a photo of Saitharn that I took before she committed suicide.
We often went to this restaurant together.
And after she passed away, I still went there sometimes.
Then last month, I went there,
and I think ,
the person in this picture is Saitharn.
Well, their faces look the same.
Are you especially interested in any piece?
You also buy, right?
Yes.
Two days ago, a woman brought this necklace to ask the price here.
She was in her early twenties.
Her face was to the degree of being beautiful.
In that case, may I take a look at the CCTV footage?
One moment, please.
Thank you.
This is the one.
Where did you get it?
Well,...
my ex gave it to me.
And your selling it like this wouldn’t make him sorry?
Like I said, it’s from my ex. I don’t wanna see it anymore.
Anyway, why are you selling it?
If you’re not interested, that's okay.
Wait, girl.
Can you take eight?
Let’s say.
I'll give it my all, nine hundred thousand.
What's in the box?
CDs.
The items Rome stole got important information related to money,
a colossal amount of money.
She also got something with her.
At the end, she didn't sell it to me.
And did she leave any contact number or address?
No, she didn't.
May I copy an image from this camera?
Go ahead.
Thank you very much.
You’re welcome.
To sum up, Yotchai was actually found at the furniture store.
Thanks a lot.
Did he go there alone?
Yes.
Risa.
Yeah.
What do you keep sitting here for?
Being a police officer, you gotta be able to drive. You know that? Go practice driving.
Right now?
Oh, okay.
Can I ask of you one thing?
It’s time you should stop being a three-in-one police officer, not doing anything but making coffee all day, ha.
The coffee I make doesn’t taste good?
Risa,
the work of police officers like us is outside.
We have to go work outside so that our competency can increase. You got that?
Yeah.
Drive slowly. I'll show you the way.
That’s fine.
Hey!
You’re driving. Why are you unmindful like this?
Sorry.
What do you keep looking at? Not looking at the way.
I’m looking, .....
looking at the way.
And the thing we're gonna do today,
don’t ever talk about it to anyone. Don’t ever let other people know it. Got it?
Yeah.
Let it be known only to both of us.
Okay.
Halt, halt.
Here, right?
Hello, Aunt. I happen to have come to see the person named Saitharn. Is she here?
Who have you come to see, Son?"
Saitharn, ma’am.
Oh Pikun’s daughter?
She moved away a long time ago.
And do you know anything about the location to which she moved?
I don’t know where she moved to stay either,
but she’s left her number.
Please… please grant me permission.
Here, … here, look at these.
These are all lottery numbers.
Yeah.
Search for the last digits,
the last digits of Saitharn’s telephone number that has gone missing. Call the numbers one by one.
Okay.
Where should we go next?
Any rice noodle restaurant? I’m hungry.
Hello, is there a person named Saitharn there?
No, this is Saisin, a massage parlor.
Massage parlor?
Thank you.
Hello, what number are you betting on? Just tell me quickly. We’re about to close.
Oh, well, I called the wrong number. Sorry.
Is there a person named Saitharn there?
No, this is Suriyong Coffins.
Is there a person named Saitharn there?
Oh, I'm Saitharn.
Oh, is there another Saitharn? About twenty-four years and a few months old.
Oh, where can I go search for her?
Hello, Saiyai Insurance.
Among the employees who have worked at this store, are any people named Saitharn?
Hello, do you know anything about a person named Saritharn? It happens that she may have used this number before.
Oh, there’s none round here.
Is there a person named Saithan there?
No, there isn’t.
The address is in accordance with this for sure?
Yeah, I’ve checked the addresses one by one.
About the charges for the phone calls, I should get the renumeration for you.
Thank you.
She should be in here.
This house?
Yeah.
Is there anyone here?
Hello.
Excuse me, is there anyone here?
Who’ve you come to see?
No one’s in this house. My daughter just committed suicide.
By now everyone should be at the funeral.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Here, the name of the person we’re searching for’s here.
Please search for her for me. Please excuse me for today.
Goodbye.
Since I became a police officer,
I just came across a strange case for the first time.
Right. Both the logic and the reason are impossible.
Having been dead for twenty-five years,
how can someone apparently appear like this.
Hmm, you’re talking nonsense, Inspector.
Right.
But having looked at them, I see that these two women have similar faces.
Yes.
And the chance of mistaking someone for your lover’s very low,
and Khanin looked so certain.
It’s a matter worthy of consideration.
If you’re gonna work on this case,
you’d better change the pending-case investigation team into the haunting-spirit investigation team, Inspector.
Papa....
Our team only works on cases that can't be closed yet.
But if what Khanin said is true,
that means there must be some clue in this case.
It’s suspicious. Isn’t that right, Papa?
Your saying this means you’re gonna work on this case, right?
Inspector,
what do you think was the reason Captain Yotchai was suspicious about Saitharn's death at the time?
Why are you so interested in him?
Well, I'm just asking in order to find out the reason
to be taken into account in deciding whether to work on this case. That’s all.
As far as I've heard,
Saitharn probably has some bearing on an important item that went missing
at the time of the shadowless thief case in 1996.
And that item is…
The night diamond necklace.
I think this case is interesting.
That Khanin got to meet his girlfriend might be related to the case in 1996 as you said.
Oh,…
this much connecting....
I got a glimpse of exhaustion.
Yay, I finally get to work on this case. Been searching for it for a long time.
I'll go see Saitharn's family, then.
As for Lieutenant and Papa, you should help each other search for the old information in preparation.
Okay.
As for me, I’ll ask for some information from police officers who’ve worked on this case.
Exhaustion again.
Saitharn, Khanin, Yotchai. Who should I begin with?
I was the person who worked on this case, but it's a very long time ago.
I don't remember much.
Anyway, about what do you have a suspicion?
Back then, what were the pieces of evidence that were used to affirm that the body was actually Saitharn’s?
They were the national ID card, wallet,
the clothes she wore,
and the letter of parting words,
which we had found in her bedroom.
And why are you sure it's your sister, it being the case that the ?
I had been with her since I was a child until I had grown up.
How could I not remember her?
The handwriting on the paper of the letter of parting words was also hers.
By looking at this picture,
I see that the body’s in the condition by which identification’s absolutely impossible,
then how can you be sure that it’s actually Saitharn’s body?
Do you still keep that letter?
I’ve burned it together with the body.
Seeing it, my mother and I couldn’t get over what had happened.
There were no autopsy results at all?
Her family didn’t give the permission.
Please excuse me.
Thank you.
Is it possible that it wasn’t a suicide?
About Saitharn’s personality, from what Khanin said,
she wanted to be an actress,
she was susceptible,
sensitive.
If someone like her had thought to commit suicide,
she should have chosen some place with which she had some sentimental ties rather than a place with
no relation to her feelings.
And another thing,
she chose to travel to a place that was very far from her accommodation to commit suicide ,
while she was wearing pajamas. Is that possible?
Is it possible that someone killed her, then disguised her body to make it look like a suicide?
At any rate, the most suspicious thing is why her family didn’t allow an autopsy to be performed at the time,
like they were trying to cover up something.
It's already over, Police Officer.
Why are you still interrogating?
Have you ever seen this woman?
She’s come here before, right?
I’ve seen her sometimes.
Mr Rome and his friends are utterly flirtatious.
They never bring the same women.
These bastard children, every time they come, they untidy the house.
And after the party, has she ever come back here?
I saw her come by to see Mr Rome again.
Did she mean to come back and steal?
Thank you.
I’ve checked the table and chair where Saitharn had sat,
but the time had passed for several days. There should have been no fingerprints left for examination by then.
Please check again.
Well,… excuse me,
excuse me.
Yes.
Does this book belong to this store?
No, a customer probably forgot it here.
Excuse me, I’ll go back to attending to the customers.
Okay.
Wut.
Yeah.
Hey.
Try checking.
Okay.
If Saitharn’s already died, where has that disc gone?
There are a lot of fingerprints there,
but one set of fingerprints matches Miss Saitarn’s.
She really isn’t dead yet.
And where is she now?
This woman’s been dead for twenty-five years.
Then how can the fingerprints be hers?
I don't believe it, either.
The chance of people having identical fingerprints is 1 in 60 billion.
Has your examination been erroneous, Wut?
A person of my class never makes mistakes.
The mistake should have been in the autopsy and forensic science of those days.
They’re not as advanced as in these days.
I think Saitharn’s still alive, but she’s pretending to be someone else for some reason.
I agree.
It was probably a frame-up for murder.
And whose body was it?
And who’s the killer?
It's our duty to investigate that, Papa.
Yot,
who’s Saitharn?
You know about the case of Prosecutor Manoon's son, right?
Yeah.
In that case, a diamond necklace is missing.
Is Saitarn is the one who stole it?
How did you come to know that?
We’re an investigation team.
When working on a case,
if something remains stuck in the mind, causing a suspicion,
it’s our duty to investigate until we find the answer without fail.
I think this probably has something to do with the missing necklace.
Because of that, a suicide scene was staged.
But as for what the truth is, I think you'd better ask her.
Saitharn has hidden away throughout the period of twenty-five years.
It shouldn't be easy to find her, Lieutenant
That she could remain in hiding was because we didn't know that she was still alive, but now we do.
And if she's still alive, it shouldn't be difficult for us to find some clues in her.
Aren't there some easy jobs to do, Inspector?
The easiest one is to start with searching for someone close to Saitharn.
I think her having been a model should have some clue about....
There should be something here.
Being a model....
Papa.
Now her mother has liver cancer.
She’s undergone organ transplant surgery for a week.
Now she’s resting in the ICU for recovery, her condition still under observation.
I’ve checked her families’ bank accounts and credit cards.
There was nothing abnormal.
The people in her neighborhood said that she’d died a long time ago.
In that case, you should keep your eye on Oranut for now.
I'll talk to Khanin one more time,
for I might get some more information then.
That’s fine.
Please take care of this.
This is the tape onto which Saitharn recorded when she was rehearsing her lines for casting.
I listen to her voice when I miss her.
After I'm gone, I'll back soon.
Don't cry, darling.
Saitharn wanted to be a star. She wanted fame,
and she wanted to see herself on TV.
I have a dream, and I wanna realize it,
so I try very hard. I don't know how much longer it’s gonna be before I make it,
so I try everything, do everything,
do anything whatsoever that’ll bring success.
But...,
there...,
But there...
there are many times when I have to do what I don't want to.
After I'm gone, I'll back soon, darling. Don't cry.
Do you have any knowledge as to whether Saitharn had any problems with anyone?
Once she complained that.
she got a problem with the modeling agency that provided her with acting jobs.
I think we’d better sit down and talk decently
like when you deceived children under the age of 18 to deliver them to VIP customer for now. How’s that?
You remember now?
Saitarn was in the first group of children I delivered to the customers,
but I didn’t force those kids.
It was an easy job and good pay. Who would refuse?
The customer was happy.
The children got some money to spend.
I got a commission. It was a win-win situation, wasn't it?
I'm not interested in your attitude towards your work.
I'm only interested in the matter of Miss Saitharn. Please answer with direct relevance.
It seems that she was having some problem at the time.
She didn’t entertain the customer.
As she got there, she didn’t drink.
She didn’t entertain him.
Still, it was fortunate that the customer liked it that way.
That customer was.
Rome, right?
How many times have you sent women to that house?
I don't remember that much.
Please try to think.
Your fathers were fucking corrupt, taking bribes.
It’s a huge matter.
Even my dad can’t help.
This time my dad’s really in trouble.
Rome,
help us.
Yeah, one more time.
Would you like me to call my underlings to see to this?
You don’t have to.
Go back. We’re talking.
Yes, sir.
I only sent them to him once,
but I heard them quarreling.
And another thing, my dad wouldn’t listen to me.
If you don't help,
I'll send the videotape from that night to the police.
What video?
That night we were just having a fun party, weren’t we?
As for us, we were just drinking for fun.
It wasn’t that we were high and dragged a woman upstairs to rape her like you did.
I beg you.
Come here.
What’s the matter with you?
I beg you. This time I beg you. I beg you.
Why? You don't wanna go to heaven with me?
Where are you going?
You can't run away anywhere.
Are you resisting me?
Don't be unruly anymore. That way you won't hurt yourself.
See? That’s all.
Stop. I beg you.
If the police get the tape, I wanna know if someone like your dad can help you.
Rome was probably blackmailed by his friends with the video showing him raping and using drug.
But the only way out Rome could think of was to steal the videotape without fail,
so he sneaked into all his friends' houses.
He didn't know in which house the tape was hidden,
but for the sake of subtlety, he had to steal other things that were valuable
to make it appear like a thief burglarized every house, including his own.
Hello, Inspector.
What's up?
Saitharn was probably killed for the purpose of silencing.
How could that be?
You once said that she had stole a necklace.
I think that necklace was the murderer’s incentive.
Rome was trying to cover up his wrong, and he got his father to back him up.
These days he’s still living in luxury and comfort, without having to take any responsibility for what he’s done.
As for the details, I'll let you know later.
Excuse me,
I got another thing I wanna ask you.
Have you ever seen this necklace?
No, I haven’t.
How is it important?
Captain Yotchai has also asked me about it.
Do you know anything about the diamond necklace?
Saitharn never,… never mentioned it at all.
Then we can suppose she got a diamond necklace with her.
Is there anyone whom she trusts enough to leave it in their care?
No.
Who’s this woman?
This is Chintana, Saitharn’s close friend.
They were gonna attend a casting together.
How are you? Are you tired?
-Just a little. I also got a gift for you. -You’ve come a long way.
Chintana stayed in Chanthaburi,
but when there was a casting,
she would come to stay with Saitharn and they would rehearse their lines together.
When the morning had came, they would go attend the casting together.
Then, when was the last time Chintana came to stay in Saitharn’s room. Do you remember?
Last week.
Do you have any of her addresses or contact numbers?
I'm gonna write them down for you.
Thanks a lot.
Then, do you remember at all whether
Chintana, who was Saitharn’s close friend,
also went to the funeral?
She didn’t go.
Chintana didn't go to the funeral because,
well, I remember that I was very busy with the preparation for the funeral and I didn’t call her to tell her about it.
Yes, Inspector. I got some information about Chintana now.
She’s no longer in Chanthaburi.
She moved out about twenty-five years ago.
Well, from her history, she shouldn’t have any relatives in Chanthaburi.
She grew up in an orphanage, then moved out in 1992.
I have the information about how she used her credit card in Bangkok during the early part of this month.
And do you know where she’s staying?
I got the name of the hotel.
It's, well, Goodday Hotel.
Send me the address, Lieutenant.
Okay, I will.
Miss Chintana Wanmisuk’s staying in this room.
When did she come to stay?
She came to stay in the early part of the month. After being here for a week, she checked out.
Thank you.
Then last month, I went there,
and I thought the person in this picture was Saitharn.
The time during which Chintana was here was the time during which Khanin got to meet Saitharn.
How is that possible?
Why has Saitharn who has hidden away for more than twenty years let herself appear now?
There must be some reason.
