Could you please tell us… what happened at the time?
That made you unable to catch the culprit?
Are you gonna make it, Risa?...
It should be good to go to the doctor 's for now.
Risa,
what were all the things that happened?
What were all the things that he did to you?
I'm not sure.
Did you see his face?
Listen, Risa.
The guy who kidnapped you’s already killed two people.
You're a police officer,
you gotta be strong.
You gotta try to tell us everything you remember.
Only then can we catch him. Do you understand?
Yot,
did her head get covered?
I think she probably doesn’t remember anything.
Whatever you remember...
What are all the things that you remember?
What did you see? What did you hear? What did you smell?
Take your time thinking, Risa. Take your time. Take your time, then say it out loud.
I heard the sound,
the sound of water.
Water dripping.
You seem not to enjoy this at all... You’ve always seem so.
I'm here now.
His voice…
was a male voice that sounded so tender,
but his hands...
Argh.
His hands.
were so cold.
Stay still. I'll come back in a while.
He told me to wait... Then he went out of the house.
I heard the sound of the bell at the door as he was went out.
At that time,… I thought... if I didn’t escape quickly,
I’d die for sure,
so… I tried to get up
and went the way in which his footsteps were sounding.
I'm sorry... I really can’t tell it any further.
No, risa.
Risa, collect yourself. Calm down, then take your time telling it,
Risa.
Yot, should we let her take a break?
Look at my face.
Look at my face, then calm down, calm down.
You're safe now, Risa.
Take your time thinking, then say it out loud.
Say it out loud, Risa.
Tell me, please.
Before I got to the door.
I bumped into the cabinet,
oh, oh, and I seemed to touch a hand.
A dead body?
I don't know.
And how did you escape?
Then what?
When I succeeded in getting up,
I kept running straight.
Then it seems I met him one more time.
He was trying to come up and squeeze my neck.
Risa, Risa, calm down,
Risa. Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid.
It’s me. Risa, it’s me.
But as I opened my eyes.
Don't be afraid.
I saw you.
Did you notice anything else?
I ran,
ran,
ran on and on.
I couldn't see anything,…
but I’m sure I didn’t run in any other direction at all.
How long did you run?
Can you give me an estimate of the number.
I don't know.
Risa, don't just keep shaking your head.
-How many minutes? -I don't know.
How many minutes, Risa?
Fif,…
fifteen minutes, I guess.
And do you remember anything else?
I smelled...
What smell?
Since I got out of the house,
I seemed to smell…
sewage.
Sewage.
In that case, it’s time we should narrow down the search areas,
starting with places with sewage, then searching houses with sole male residents.
Only this much information should be enough for us to go out to investigate, Yot.
Risa, go to the doctor’s, then go home to rest.
I’m gonna let Keng take care of the matter for you.
Okay?
Yes.
Yot, why are you putting so much pressure on her?
Where are you going again?
This is the spot where we found Risa.
We gotta search within the radius of about 10-15 minutes.
Now, what I’ve roughly thought is there should be one, two, three, four routes through which Risa could escape.
Then we need to look for detached houses with owners who are about 18-25 years old and also live alone.
About the four Screaming, that’s also an important matter.
We must also keep asking the people round here about this.
Okay.
Excuse me.
Yes.
I’ve come to investigate a murder case.
Yes.
Please allow me to ask you whether you’ve heard the sound of a woman screaming
or anything strange occurring in this neighborhood lately.
No, I haven’t heard anything.
Absolutely none?
Right.
Thank you.
Have you heard any strange noises or seen any men with something unusual round here today?
No, I haven’t.
Oh, thank you, then.
I’m going home, then.
Okay.
How was it?
Have you gotten any clues?
No, I haven’t, Captain, but at the office of the registrar,
it’s been notified that there were 18-25-year-old men living alone round here,
but as I went to check, I didn't find anything abnormal at all.
Then go on to search in other places.
Okay.
Back then everyone almost searched high and low,
but they couldn't find him.
And back then, Commander Komdet was the head of the investigation team in charge of this case.
As he saw no progress in the case,
he ordered everyone to stop investigating.
Well,... so that’s how the matter went…
If at that time the murderer had been caught, the nine victims wouldn't have died in a pitiable way like this.
The bad luck also got to us.
That the commander threw the case at us to have us work on it wasn’t because he was enamored of us.
He’s just waiting for any day we blunder. That’s all.....
Yes, it's very much like a time bomb.
Here’s a report on the serial murder case in Saraburi,
after we talked to the families of all the victims,
except for those whom we couldn’t identify.
We’ve been able connect the behavior of the victims through which we’ve gotten some facts about some important matter.
All the victims had one thing in common: they had to travel,
either for work, or some other reason,
to Mueang District in Saraburi Province,
and the place where the bodies were found through excavation
was Khaonoi, Sao Hai District,
which is not far from the downtown area,
so it’s plausible that the murderer probably worked or resided in the downtown area,
at least from 1998, in which he committed the crimes of the first two cases, to 2012,
in which we received the reports of missing persons.
Do you have any more information?
Yes,
there’s a profile of the murderer, into which we’ve complied all the information.
Lieutenant Win’s gonna be the one to report on it.
This is a picture of the skeleton that has been found through excavation in Khaonoi,
and here are the pictures of the first two victims in 1998.
In this picture, you can see that the murderer bound the hands of the victim with a rope in a manner
similar to that in the Buddhist funeral preparation,
which is a ritual believed to send the soul to heaven,
so we can kinda hypothesize that the murderer didn’t kill the victim out of vengefulness,
and the covering of the body before burial shows a cautious disposition and particular circumspection.
It indicates the manner of dressing,
indicating that the clothes and hairstyle of the murderer’ll look
cleaner and tidier than those of most people.
This also applies to the places he uses in his daily life, his residence and workplace.
Everything around him must be very, very orderly,
so there’s a high possibility that he also has OCD, or obsessive-compulsive disorder,
which is the basis of people with depression.
And this manner of rope binding takes a lot of time,
which means the murderer must have used the place where he felt safe doing it and could take his time doing it,
which was his residence.
There’s a high possibility that the murderer resided in his residence by himself,
and it was probably not so big because if it had a lot of space,
he probably would have chosen to bury the body in his own area
rather than taking it into the car to bury it in Khaonoi.
Another thing that’s very important is even though
the age, shape, and height of all the victims are distinctly different,
there’s one thing in common,
all the victims had symptoms of depression,
and as I’ve already stated, the murderer himself probably also had such symptoms.
The murderer needed a long time to choose the victims
and observe their behavior,
so the place in which he chose them was probably
his workplace or a place where he got to meet various kinds of people.
Five baht.
I’ve received twenty.
Ma'am,
here’s fifteen baht for your change.
So we need to find a place where all the victims had gone to,
so we have to focus on the routes the victims regularly took,
such as those by which they returned home or went to work, or it could be the place where they frequented,
like some shops, or restaurants, that sort of places.
Inspector Risa,
what do you think about this?
I agree with Lieutenant Win.
Investigation Team No. 1,
get a list of all the people whom the victims knew.
Investigation Team No. 2,
make the maps of the victims’ routes.
As for the pending-case team,
go investigate to find out whom the skeleton that can’t be identified yet belongs to.
Separate and get to work.
There’s another thing.
In 1998,
I was the only victim who survived.
I wanna request a hypnosis for memory restoration.
Huh?
Some matters, if we’ve erased the memories about them,
maybe there’s no need to bring them back again.
If I hadn't been afraid of thinking about it,
the other nine women shouldn't have died.
It was my fault.
No, it wasn’t.
Even if you can recall that occurrence,
it’s gonna be useless.
You’ve never seen the culprit’s face, right?
Hypnosis may...
enable me to,…
to remember more about of something.
There may be some clues that still remain in my memory.
Okay, we’re gonna start right now, Miss Risa.
From now on, I want you to start having your eyes closed.
Breathe in and out slowly.
Relax.
Please concentrate on your breath.
In, out…. Slowly.
This moment’s the night of 25 October 1998.
At that time,
somebody kidnapped you.
Hmm...
Who has done this? Are you in pain?
Don't be afraid.
The image you see’s just a virtual image in a movie you’re watching.
I'm gonna skip to the part where you were escaping from that house.
Have you escaped from that house now?
I fell.
I smelled.
What smell?
Bad smell.
The smell of the sewer.
Then what happened?
I ran.
I kept running straight.
I could't see anything.
Can you try to look again to see what you saw?
I,...
I can't see any single thing.
I...
bumped.....
I continued running by the electric light.
I kept running.
Calm down, calm down. Breathe slowly.
Breathe slowly. Breathe in,
breathe in. Breathe out slowly.
Come out slowly.
. Good. Like that.
Breathe in, out.
Relax. Slowly, slowly.
Now you’re safe.
If you're ready now, you can open your eyes.
Are you okay, Inspector?
May I try it one more time?
I may have overlooked something.
I think you should have done with it for now, Inspector.
I think we should focus on the nine victims instead.
That’s enough, Inspector.
Even if you do it again, it’s gonna be useless.
You shouldn’t have invested to the degree of going this far.
At the end, you probably won't get any information.
I agree.
It’s useless to do it.
After we investigate all the nine victims,
you should get some clues.
Lieutenant Win,
can you hear me?
Yes.
You can go ahead and speak.
The murderer in Saraburi in 1998 covered his victim’s head with a red bag, right?
Yes.
This means ...
you people still can't catch him.
Yes,
by now we still haven't found any clues about the murderer,
but we're still trying to investigate.
In 2021, in which I am,
we’ve found nine more victims whom he’s killed.
Together with the other two in 1998, there are eleven in all now.
The only clue we got is all the victims had depression,
and all of them had been in or gone past the downtown area of Saraburi during that time.
He’s gonna kill one of my junior police officers.
I’m not gonna let him get away with it.
Is the junior police officer you’re talking about,
Inspector Marisa?
Do you know Risa?
Yes,
Inspector Marisa’s the head of my team,
the Pending-Case Investigation Team from the Special Investigation Division.
Is Risa your boss?
Plus she’s gotten to be an inspector.
Do you believe this?
If I tell this to anyone, nobody’ll believe me.
And...
do you feel that your boss is okay?
Why, Captain?
Why are you asking me this?
What sort of person was she back then?
That’s what I thought.
I see her potential as early as these days.
Risa’s too brave for her capacity.
She’s leapt to catch a culprit in a single combat.
She’s been subjected to all kinds of complaints and rebukes from me but she could still smile.
Risa’s a very strong-willed person.
But no matter how strong-willed she was,
having been kidnapped by a murderer like that should have had terrible impact on her mental condition, right?
Risa’s not a weak person.
She’ll eventually be able to smile.
Ah,…
Captain.
have you ever tried to console her at all?
I’m not good at speaking to console people.
Captain, about this sort of thing, I think...
if you’re the one who’s talking, just speaking from the heart’ll surely enable her to get it.
What about you?
Don't you wanna know…
what you’re like in 2021?
I don't care.
If I do, what can I do then?
I gotta live my life anyway.
I just want you to be careful, that’s all.
Don't get into trouble or conflict with people much.
Being a police officer,
you certainly have to offend the culprit
It’s unavoidable.
Anyway,
I’m just asking you to take good care of yourself, that’s all.
What new clues have you gotten?
I checked by the clothes the victim was wearing.
The brand’s Hora.
It’s a brand of imported shirts from Vietnam.
Luckily, there was only one importer,
so I sent the clothes the victim was wearing to the store to have them examine it.
They notified me that the shirts of this brand and this model were sent there in 2014,
then the company in Vietnam closed down,
so it’s likely that only one lot of the Hora shirts of the kind that the victim was wearing should have been imported,
and after that it’s never been reproduced again.
It can be confirmed that the woman whom the skeleton belongs to should have died in 2014 or later.
The DNA’s been examined with comparison by the database of missing persons,
but it didn't match with anyone’s.
There’s no trace of dental treatment
or surgery by which investigation can be done at all,
but some bones have been examined, with the finding that they contain some mercury residue,
but the quantity’s not so large that it was harmful.
It should be able to somewhat serve as a clue indicating that the person to whom the skeleton
belongs probably had lived or worked in a place with mercurial contamination for a long time.
Well,… there’s another interesting matter.
Normally, binding the body while being in front of it enables the killer to see the victim’s face while doing it,
but in this case, it's different.
This victim was tied up with the killer being behind her.
Then the killer squeezed her neck until she died, also while he was behind her.
Everything was done while he was behind her?
Yes,
this can be confirmed by the result of the examination of the cervical spine, which was broken.
It’s different from other cases.
It's strange.
Not just what you’re saying.
When we found the body of this victim,
she was the only victim who had been wrapped around with a blanket.
That shows the murderer’s behavior with special care towards this victim.
And another thing, from the information gotten from Senior Sergeant Major Chaloei,
it can be speculated that this victim probably died around 2014,
which shows that after this victim, the killer hasn’t killed anybody else at all
What does this mean?
It means this victim has transformed the murderer's mind.
If we know who this victim was, or where she lived,
if we can have just a little clue,
we may find a clue about the killer, Inspector.
About assigning tasks, you assigned more and more. The old ones haven’t been finished yet.
Really?
Yeah. I was just one minute late, I don't understand anything at all?
No. ’Cause you're late.
Wake up early. I’m talking about you.
Janejira.
Huh.
Oh, I talked to her but she won’t talk to me.
Eat, eat, otherwise you’ll go to work late.
How much is this?
Fifty baht. Am I gonna get the bonus, then?
The wage’s low enough and there’s also a deduction. After a month, I have nothing left.
I am flying alone in the changing wind.
Only the sea is lamenting, sounding like a sad song.
Tonight I am weary, I am tired, I am cold, and so lonely.
No one has ever had true love from the heart for me.
No matter which way I stared, it looked anchorless and empty.
How many summers and winters have I gone through the wind and rain? Till I became weary; gone was all my strength.
You don't love me anymore, do you?!!!
I don’t want to see any image, even that of the sky.
I shall lay my body down hidden in the shadow of the moon.
I long to give my eyes a rest for eternity.
I shall slumber into a dream. I shall not wake up.
Make a turn, make a turn, make a turn. Oh, gone.
Tan.
Why didn't you believe me, huh, huh? Why?
I’ve told you not to go play outside the house, haven’t I?
Haven’t I? I’ve told you but you’ve never obeyed me.
Get up. Don't you love me anymore?!!! Huh?
Don't you love me anymore?
You gotta obey me. You got that? You got that?
I've told you many times, that it's dangerous outside. Many times.
Come down here. Come down here.
Go down now.
Mom, don't punish me... I’m afraid now…
That way you’ll be safe, dear. That way you’ll be safe.
Stay here, dear.
It’s pitiable.
It looks downright unhappy.
I hurt, Mom.
It's all right.
From now on. I’m not gonna be disobedient anymore.
Okay. That’s all right.
I'll drive away your fear.
Let me say it one more time.
The woman we’re searching for’s in her late twenties,
about 165 centimeters tall.
She’s been missing for 7 years,
but no one’s reported her missing,
so I think we should start the search with dormitories
and houses for rent from which a tenant has disappeared without taking their belongings,
starting with the downtown area of Saraburi,
then expanding the scope towards the outskirts.
Only in the downtown area of Saraburi, there are a hundred of dormitories or more, Lieutenant.
It's necessary, Senior Sergeant Major.
Oh.
If we find the woman,
it means we also have a chance to find the killer as well.
If the killer’s still alive,
we have no idea when he may commit the crime again.
Let’s separate and do the search, then.
Papa and Lieutenant, go to this building.
We’re gonna go the building on the right.
I lay down on the earth, resigning myself to defeat.
Heavy were my wings. I have no more strength to fly.
I shall rest my body through eternity.
I don’t want to see any image, even that of the sky.
I long to give my eyes a rest for eternity.
I shall lay my body down hidden in the shadow of the moon.
Janejira.
Do you know my name?
Madam, a glass of chrysanthemum tea, please.
Oh, nowadays you aren't you working at all, are you?
Sitting doing nothing but idly using your cell phone?
Or have you been attached to some girl lately?
You’re bad-mouthing.
I’m gonna send your head to the ground with a slap.
Police officers in this 5G era use their brain,
they don’t use their physical force.
Uh-oh.
I was searching for the numbers.
I’ve searched for the numbers of all the dormitories, and rooms for rent, and houses for rent round here.
I’ve already sent them to your cell phone.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Don't send videos, oh.
I never send videos during the daytime.
They all came during the nighttime.
Oh, why are they so many like this?
Oh...
Don't be stunned.
Let’s help each other make calls quickly.
Hello.
She didn't pack her belongings and disappeared. It’s like, the belongings are still in the room.
Hmm,… I’ve never seen a case like that.
We’d better do the search separately, then.
Why?
I’d like to go take a look at things round here.
You’re gonna take a look at the place where you were kidnapped by the murderer, right?
If that’s what you're gonna do, I'm going with you.
It's good that we’re doing the search separately.
The most important thing now is to find out who the last victim is, isn’t it?
But we've searched every house, Yot. By now we haven’t found anything else.
Then, here’s what we should do.
I say we should expand the search area, shouldn’t we?
Maybe Risa ran for more than 15 minutes,
and if we expand the area, I believe we’ll definitely find the culprit.
Yot, for that much expansion, you know we don’t have enough people.
You see, now we all are only working on Risa’s case.
We’re not doing any fucking thing about the other cases.
If the inspector knows this, all of us are gonna fucking get in trouble again.
Don't you remember, Na?
Risa said that there was another body in that house?
Yot, but she wasn’t confident that there was a body inside.
Keng’s right.
She’d probably freaked out by then.
It might be just a dummy.
Don’t think I’m being offensive in any way.
I don't believe everything she said.
Even at the part where she was running away from there, we’re fucking confused about it.
Risa hasn't been back to work yet?
You’re concerned about the murderer.
She hasn’t fucking come to work for many days now.
Go. Okay, let’s separate and get to work.
Have you fully recovered?
Well,…
you haven't...
If you haven't, go back inside to sleep. Get some rest..
I just came by to visit you. There’s nothing.
I’m probably not fit for being a police officer.
Why are you saying that?
It should no longer be possible for me to be a police officer.
I’m afraid of everything.
Even afraid of walking alone...
And now all the images are still in my head all the time.
You know what?
In fact, everybody’s afraid...
I am.
Being culprits,
they’re all evil.
Since I became a police officer, I’ve experienced lots of people of this kind.
Some carried knives. Some carried guns.
I’ve even experienced ten culprits against me alone at the same time.
Now matter in what form they come, they’re all evil.
If we blunder, they’ll always be ready to kill us.
I myself have blundered,
but luckily, I didn't die.
Did you fight them?
I ran away from them.
But I happened to run into a motorcycle with the full force of collision.
Luckily, I didn't die,
but here,
you see,
I got this inter-locking nail at the shoulder instead.
What else can you do?
Being a police officer, you always have to to catch culprits.
If we don't do it, then who will, right?
If you’re gonna resign,
no one’s gonna blame you,
but I’m asking you to think a bit more before making the decision.
Actually,
being a police officer isn't that bad.
Someone like you may one day rise to the position of a crime-buster inspector,
and when that day comes, whenever you get to become Inspector Risa,
don't be weepy letting anybody see you cry like this.
Okay.
It’s a gift.
Do you remember the motorcycle thief you went to caught that day?
The victim asked me to bring it to you.
Well,....
I didn't eat it behind your back.
Oh,…
it must have been Na.
I’ve already told them it’s a gift for you,
still they ate it behind my back.
I give you one piece.
It’s a reward for you, too.
Gifts for police officers like us.
are things like this.
I’ll go give the whole bag to Na.
You gotta come back, then.
Go get some rest.
Who has done this?
Being a police officer, you always have to catch culprits.
If we don't do it, then who will, right?
Sir.
Yes, sir.
I’d like to ask you something.
Go ahead.
What’s that wall?
This wall’s Thepthong Factory.
And what does the factory do?
It’s a factory that manufactures plastics.
In fact, this factory deserves an order for long-term closure.
Why?
Two years ago,
it released leaked mercury down into the water
We and the other people here were distressed as hell.
During that time there was news about it.
It was on TV for a while. Then the matter went silent.
Their connection was spectacularly big.
That’s why it could be opened once more.
Thank you.
Yes.
As far as I can remember, there was only one.
She stayed at the worker dormitory.
A few years ago, she suddenly disappeared.
Didn’t take her belongings in the locker.
The people in the factory gossiped saying that she’d escaped share payment. No one could contact her,
but it seems her belongings are here. I'll try taking a look for you.
Okay. Thank you.
Here,
these are all the utensils in the locker, which I’ve taken.
Thank you.
Please allow me to take a picture.
Go ahead.
I’ve checked Janejira Tharnkaew’s family history.
Her parents died from an accident,
and she’s unlikely to have any relatives. She’s by herself.
I have to bother you to please check one more time as to whether
the body that we haven’t yet been able to identify was that of Janejira Tharnkaew.
Got it.
I am flying alone in the changing wind.
Only the sea is lamenting, sounding like a sad song.
It's another day I had to come back to cry for no reason,
sitting looking at the sky outside the window.
The sky’s clear,
so far different from my feeling at the moment.
I feel alive once more.
Every time I get to be there,
My heart beat so hard I was aware that it was still beating.
This is what they call love, isn’t it?
Day after day I’ve been coming here to eat nothing but cup noodles.
No matter how often I eat them,
I never feel tired of them, for in front of me,
I always see him standing by my side.
I don't know why he keeps following to watch me,
but I'm glad every time I turn my head to look and find him
May there be some day when I get to speak my mind to him.
Will he love me.
as I love him? I don't know.
Drinking Water 1 pack 36 , Orange juice 1 box 40 , Milk 1 bottle 40 , Sanitary napkins 2 packets 96 ,
Toothpaste 1 tube 20 , Soap 1 packet 28 , Painkiller 12 , Cup noodles 1 cup 12 , Total 334 .
Hello, Inspector.
Have you gotten any information?
Now I know who the last victim is.
Are you sure?
Yes, only words of confirmation by the DNA test result are still missing.
And I’ve found the victim's notebook.
Here records of receipts and expenditures are written.
They can somewhat tell us that the victim regularly used the service of a certain convenience store.
I'm sure the murderer worked at that store and used it for selecting the victims.
I'll follow you right now.
The street lights.
are on the left.
On the right.
The street lights are reverse.
This means...
that night I ran back in the same direction.
Excuse me.
Yes, what would you like?
Has it been a long time since this restaurant was opened?
It was just opened this year.
Are you sure?
Yes. I've been working at this store since the first day it was open.
Thank you.
How many workers are there in this store?
Two, sir. I and a girl come to work.
Only two?
Yes, only two.
Thank you.
You’re welcome.
The clothes and hairstyle of the murderer will look cleaner and tidier than those of most people.
This also applies to the places he uses in his daily life, his residence and workplace.
Everything around him must be very, very orderly.
You know my name?
That’s okay.
Okay.
The test result has come out.
The bones belong to Miss Janejira for a hundred percent.
Thank you, Wut.
This is where I fell.
Since I fell here, I lost my sense of direction and ran back in the same direction.
I told you to stay still. I told you to stay still.
Risa!!
Risa.
No.
Risa, Risa, calm down. It's me. Look at my face.
Look at my face. Don't be afraid.
This is me.
The smell of a sewer.
Oh, what’s the matter again?
Oh, oh, oh, what is it?
Who organizes the stuff in this store?
The manager does.
And where is he now?
So you’re in the year 2000 now, right?
Yes, sir. What can I do for you?
There’s something I’d like you to help me with.
It all started by the lake
with a devil in the guise of a charming man, and his friends
who violated a girl for their pleasure.
There will be a gang-rape case involving a female student from Panyatawee School.
A case of a schoolgirl being assaulted?
Yes, that’s correct.
Only one case remains under investigation.
