Someone like myself does not avoid others,

but I cannot share a bed with someone who is intoxicated,

nor can I bind my life to someone of different morals.

The chief knew about the clues and kept them from me, Sarge.

He doesn't want me to investigate the case.

For someone like me,

should I wish to have anyone enamored of me,

my beauty alone

would suffice...

Wear this upon you.

Do not give it to anyone so readily again.

May the sacred beings watch over you

until your good intentions

prevail.

What's this?

Fabled iron, invulnerable, a mighty rampart.

Pure copper, a sacred amulet, crafted with the master's spell and arts.

Lustrous gold, burning like the sun, with power untold.

Untainted silver, breaking curses beneath the moon's hold.

Blue bornite, guarding against harm, imbued with might.

Wild mercury, reflecting poison and sorcery's blight.

Zinc of yore, interlaced with all else, their powers unveiled.

Forged into a weapon, piercing every yantra without fail.

Here, I beseech the Buddha's virtues.

Here, I beseech the Buddhist Masters, the Supreme Masters.

Buddham prasiddhi,

Dhammam prasiddhi,

through all of Na, Ma, Pa, Ta,

whatever incantation dwells within,

may it be ravaged,

may it be blighted

by the power of Namo Buddhaya.

Do use them

to uphold justice, as is your duty.

Stay here, my beautiful daughter.

Do not leave them.

One day...

they will come to you.

When that time comes,

only your compassion can aid them.

♫Along with ghostly spirits hounding relentlessly,♫

♫May the maras be ravaged and perish completely♫

♫Vindictive spirits, tyrannical psyches,♫

♫Meant to betray, slaughter, and invade,♫

♫Were any souls to brush against my karmic soulmate,♫

♫They shall bury the thought of returning to their realm♫

♫With incantation and virtue as shield,♫

♫At my feet, they shall surrender and kneel,♫

♫Chanting, "Sadhu," of their own will♫

Peem, how are you?

I'm fine, Mom.

Mom,

how is Phu doing?

The doctor says he's the same.

Physically, he looks normal.

He's alright now.

All that's left now is for him to wake up on his own.

Peem,

can you promise me just this once, to ease my mind,

that you won't get involved with that case again?

Don't worry about me, Mom.

I'm here...

I'm going to be okay.

Liar!

Just now,

what were you saying?

I said great.

It gives me peace of mind knowing you're safe over there.

What's wrong, Peem?

Right...

Nothing, Mom.

I was probably just hearing things.

Well...

I'll get back to work now.

I'll call you later.

Take good care of yourself.

I'll call the chief regularly to check on you, okay, Peem?

Alright, Mom.

[Mae Sot Provincial Police Station]

Alright, here he comes.

- Hello. - Hello.

Hello.

Uh, this is...

Inspector Chon,

stationed at Mae Sot Police Station.

He's Chai's nephew,

the guy we saw at the municipal market.

I remember.

This is Lieutenant Peem.

She was transferred from Bangkok

just to work on this case.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

I think we should get straight to the point.

I have somewhere to be after this.

What? Didn't you take a day off today?

Alright, let's take this conversation over there.

Alright.

Lieutenant,

here's the file you're looking for.

From the clues I've gathered in secret,

Krating and his guys

are moving along the Thailand-Myanmar border.

But even now,

we still can't pinpoint the exact location of their hideout.

That's why I forwarded the information

to the other provincial police stations

so they can be on a lookout.

So that means...

Krating

is somewhere in Tak, right?

That's likely the case.

The thing is, we don't know exactly where he is.

But don't worry.

I'm in the process of requesting that my superiors

put me in charge of this case.

If there's any progress, I'll reach out to you.

Please do, Inspector.

Nevertheless, I want to catch him with my own hands.

Yes.

I've contacted the police checkpoints

to obtain additional information.

That way, we can identify the car

he uses to escape, including its appearance and license plate.

Please let us know when you have more clues.

Of course, I'll reach out.

- Yes, sir. - Thank you.

Anyway, please excuse me.

I have another case to take care of.

- Yes, sir. - Oh, right.

Alright.

- Excuse me. - Alright.

- Goodbye. - Thank you.

3:30 P.M.

What you need is not something that may be done with ease.

Perils will come your way

from the very instant you seek the sacred materials.

What are you trying to say, Master?

Please tell me.

As you gather the sacred materials,

the Buddha's virtues shall spread far and wide.

Restless spirits and ghosts shall storm in

as if a great merit-making ceremony were underway.

Whatever eyes and ears you boast,

your foes boast the same.

I want you to be very careful, my dearest.

These lethal weapons thirst for blood.

Were they placed in the hands of an evil soul,

innocent blood

would be sacrificed.

I promise that

only evil blood

will be sacrificed to the weapons you create.

Above all else,

you must seek

every material

before sunset.

Sunset...

There's a deadline for this?

So what if

I couldn't find them all?

Cease your search.

Cherish your life.

Think not that this is the only night to perform the ritual.

We shall even linger for another full moon.

It'd be too late.

I can't wait that long.

If any clues come up,

I have to capture him immediately.

Rules are rules.

Nighttime belongs to ghosts.

It is not suitable for any endeavor,

unless it be an inauspicious one.

Fulfill your task with every ounce of mindfulness and wit.

Wrath and vengeance

shall only blind you.

Wear this necklace at all times until every material is sought.

They shall shield you from all harm.

What is that?

Buying lottery tickets?

If I want to find everything on this list,

where's the nearest place I can get them?

I have some gold on me.

I just need everything else on the list.

Can you recommend a place?

I need to get there before sunset.

From here,

the nearest place would be

Rim Moei Market [Rim Moei Market]

in Mae Sot.

It's ten minutes from here.

Come on, let's get moving, Sarge.

This is the Rim Moei Market I told you about.

So, the stall I'm looking for is right here?

Exactly.

Here's the stall.

Excuse me.

Do you have what I'm looking for?

Whoa...

Where did you folks get this list?

Who gave this to you?

It doesn't matter who.

Do you have them, Shaman?

I do,

but I cannot give them to you.

These items choose their owners.

I cannot just give them out randomly.

You...

do not possess enough virtue for it.

Your shadow might yet lose its head.

You could've just said it nicely. Why curse me?!

Let's go somewhere else, Sarge.

- Let's! - Wait!

What?!

Hold on...

"Blue bornite, guarding against harm, imbued with might."

[Blue bornite]

Whoa...

Today, deadly misfortune awaits you.

You're drunk, right?

Look at that face. Let's go, Lieutenant.

Right.

- Whoa! - Whoa!

Sarge...

- Blood! - Yes?

Lieutenant! I got slashed!

I got slashed!

Shaman!

Shaman!

Shaman, help me!

I fucking got slashed!

Mom, will Dad be alright?

How would I know? What did you do, Priew?

Goodness!

Dad!

- Dad, Dad! - Ow, that hurts, that hurts.

Ow, ow, ow, that hurts, that hurts!

Let go. You're hurting me.

Ow! That hurts, that hurts.

- You're hurting me, you're hurting me. - Jeez, you're gonna hurt your dad!

- Ow, ow, ow. - Dad, are you okay?

"Fulfill your task with every ounce of mindfulness and wit."

"Wrath and vengeance

shall only blind you."

Take a seat.

How many pieces have you gathered so far?

Counting the gold I already have on hand,

this would be the third piece.

Your clock is ticking

from the instant you started.

Make haste.

Eventide

is not a good sign.

You must give me your word

that whatever is given to you

will be used only against evil wights.

Yes,

I give you my word.

I will use it only to take down the bad guys.

Just do not go back on your word.

Should you break it,

it will ricochet back upon you

a hundredfold, a thousandfold.

"Pure copper, a sacred amulet, crafted with the master's spell and arts."

What you are looking for.

Mortal bodies are impermanent.

Even with a prized and sacred object upon you,

it too will deteriorate with age.

Hurry along.

You do not have much time left.

Right.

Thank you.

Whoa, ma'am.

How did you get here?

This place is already closed.

[Kengkla Buakhao, beloved father]

[Date of Birth: January 12, 1958 Date of Death: August 22, 2020]

[Sirichai379: Construction materials, plumbing and electrical supplies,

construction hardware, hand tools, and gardening tools]

Whoa, hey!

Just make sure it's nice and tight.

If you drive off and they fall onto someone,

we'll all be screwed.

If it's gonna fall,

it's either on your head or mine, man,

not anyone else's.

Jeez,

you've really learned to talk back.

- Come on, man. - How about I backhand you?

Hey, Seua.

Who's that lady walking towards us?

She's gorgeous, man.

Hello, beautiful.

I'm Seua.

Anything I can help you with?

I'm looking to buy some metal.

Well, what kind do you need?

Angle bars, steel bars,

or round bars?

You can tell me anything.

I'll get you whatever you need, beautiful.

I'm the owner here.

We have all kinds of metal.

Fabled iron,

do you sell that?

- Fabled iron. - Fabled iron.

Oud,

get her the fabled iron from the back.

Get her a really shiny one.

Sure thing, man.

- Are you crazy? - What?!

- Jeez. - What fabled iron? We don't have that.

Beautiful,

we only sell steel bars here.

If you want fabled iron,

you'll have to go into the woods.

But if you really wanna go there,

I'll take you.

We've gotta go pretty deep, though.

Be careful,

or Seua the Tiger could maul you. Nom!

Oops, just an ordinary tiger, that is.

Still interested?

So you don't sell them?

How could I?

I've only ever seen steel bars.

Seua! Oud!

You two bastards.

Why are you talking to a customer like that?

Jeez, Dad.

This beautiful girl wants fabled iron.

We only have steel bars.

I just offered to take her there, that's all.

Fabled iron?

Yes.

Follow me inside.

Hold out your hand.

Jeez, Dad.

Tryna get handsy with a lady?

Seua!

Go back to work at once.

I know, Dad. You didn't have to chase me away.

Beautiful,

gonna deliver some stuff for a sec.

Don't miss me just yet.

I'll be right back.

I have no ill intentions like my son does.

Do not be afraid.

Hold out your hand.

Sit down!

Dare you come,

think not of fear.

Uncle.

Uncle, Uncle. Whoa...

Let's go, Uncle. Get up slowly.

Hey, get a move on

so we can deliver these to the customer.

You bet, Seua.

All you do is talk, man.

I'm just heading out.

What the hell are you still doing?

Something's wrong with the truck.

The gear stick wouldn't budge.

Give it another try.

It won't budge, man.

Get out, then. I'll handle it.

What the hell?

Fucking bastard! Why did you lock the door?

I didn't. It locked itself, man.

Bullshit. The door is fucking locked!

Seua!

Take your dad to the doctor!

Who's calling you, man?

Can you walk?

"Fabled iron, invulnerable, a mighty rampart."

You must seek

every material before sunset.

[Sirichai379 - Steel Merchant Wat Pa Lan Romyen]

He is typically hard to come across,

as he favors a life in the wild.

It is fortunate that, on occasion,

you can still meet the huntsman here.

It is better than making your way

to Mon Kru Ba.

This is a reward for your endeavor.

The ancient Sangkhawanon nail,

pulled from the roof of an old ordination hall,

serves as

an alloy element.

"Zinc of yore, interlaced with all else, their powers unveiled."

Relinquish it to her, Loh-Se.

What do you still need?

I'm still missing...

wild mercury and untainted silver.

I don't have untainted silver,

just wild mercury.

Thank you.

"Wild mercury, reflecting poison and sorcery's blight."

If you have time,

I can take you into the woods to find untainted silver.

I only have until sunset today.

I gave someone my word.

Then, I'm sorry

I can't follow through.

Though you've already done more than enough.

Gathering

these materials

is no easy feat.

Even masters of sacred arts

can take anywhere from a month to a year.

Do not hold that thought.

Had they not placed their faith in you,

you would have never made it here

to see Loh-Se and me.

It is now up to you.

If you are determined

to fulfill it,

fate...

will guide you to fulfill what you have set

your heart on.

Thank you.

May you be blessed and protected.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

The water is perfectly cold.

It will ease your soreness.

Soak your feet in it.

Thank you.

Are you well, my dearest?

It's nothing.

I'm just mad at myself for...

not being able to gather all the materials.

I'm sorry.

There are, in fact,

many people in this vicinity who possess auspicious objects.

Perhaps you merely...

have not asked all of them.

This is for you.

"Untainted silver, breaking curses beneath the moon's hold."

Really?

Thank you.

Thank you, truly.

Next time, should you injure yourself again,

I shall make it worse.

Copy that.

"Lustrous gold, burning like the sun, with power untold."

Hold on.

Cleave to the gold.

It is no good to take it off your neck.

I own plenty of gold.

I shall endow it to you.

You have endured much today.

Let me take care of you.

Are you holding up well?

You are adorable.

Thank you, once again.

Master In's sanctum.

My father.

My dearest,

pray you come to me.

Master In...

My father.

Dignified

and formidable.

Just like his daughter.

So, this place...

Does no one really live here?

Why...

is there no dust

or...

cobwebs?

Ever since he passed,

no one has lingered here,

save for me

and his disciples,

who take turns visiting and paying their respects.

As for my mother, she dwells at the temple.

Your mother...

already passed?

I suppose you would think so.

My mother has kept the precepts

and been ordained as a Buddhist nun ever since Master passed.

Though only a few souls are acquainted with her.

She was beauteous,

and Master was protective of her,

so he never let her go anywhere.

Apart from me,

Mother often pays this place a visit.

Judging by her daughter,

it goes without saying that...

your mother must be very beautiful.

I was also wondering

why you wanted me to look for the materials from...

these people.

Is that

the bullet forge?

Did your father use this place...

to make the consecrated bullets?

In his time,

the land abounded with bandits and wicked thieves.

Spells and incantations alone would not suffice.

They too had to be masters of weapons.

If this world

were full of criminals who knew such arts,

police officers like me, with no knowledge of spells,

would never be able to bring them to justice.

When it comes to science,

there are molecules invisible to the eyes.

Oceans

are too sublime to ever be discovered.

You must truly believe

that things that transcend far beyond mundane limits are true.

Faith, too, has no shape or form.

How could you know if something were wicked,

should there not be morals to begin with?

The entirety of this earth

was created

with the belief that all things shall be possible.

You must merely have faith and believe;

otherwise,

there is no point making your way here.

Right.

I have readied all the crucial sacred materials.

All that is left is to await the full moon,

when we shall perform the ritual.

Alright.

In the meantime...

there is a place

I wish you to accompany me to.

In my tender years,

I took great joy in sitting here at leisure.

Can I ask you something?

Why...

did you become a master?

My father before me was a master,

a deeply respected one.

He inherited the sacred arts from my grandfather.

Back then...

I was a naive soul.

All I knew was that I held him in profound respect,

as everyone revered and worshipped him.

Though with the passage of time,

people developed a dislike for him.

They called him deceptive

and dogmatic.

Some were frightened by him.

So, as I matured and became more aware,

I did not come to enjoy the state of things.

Until I was thirteen or fourteen,

I was at death's door.

No treatment could fully cure me.

The doctor said I was not long for this world.

Other children would have died by then.

Thus, my father took me to make a vow,

praying for the sacred hermit sage's aid.

Afterwards, I grew better and better,

as if by a miracle.

So that's why...

you became a master?

Not yet.

There were times I was skeptical

and stubborn, like any child,

but after just a sip of liquor,

I became ill once again.

At that breath, I dared not be stubborn,

for it all ran in my blood

and through my body.

Were I to consider escape,

the only thing waiting ahead

would be death.

Thus, I decided to accept the sacred master's rite.

Palms together, bow your head.

Metta Gunnang Arahang Metta Namo Buddhaya.

Gunnang Arahang Metta Namo Buddhaya.

Metta Gunnang Arahang Metta Namo Buddhaya.

Namo Buddhaya.

We are all done.

Have you any notion

that I wish for death to finally come to me?

But Master bade me live,

make merit, and keep the precepts,

as my karmic soulmate had already been incarnated.

He bade me stay,

never to leave,

so that when they arrived,

our paths would cross.

If the person you're waiting for isn't me...

you can be honest, my beloved.

If...

they can be your happiness,

I would be happy for you.

After all the time we have spent,

know you not of my nature?

I yearn to feel you till my heart breaks.

But it is not the time.

Today, we have a much greater aim.

Once it is fulfilled,

you shall pay me ever so dearly

for every ounce of strength I expend.

I mean...

I just need assurance that

you genuinely have feelings for me,

not because of what your father told you to believe.

Unto my last breath,

I long for no one to be by my side but you,

and you alone.

Therefore,

do not dwell too much on my father's words.

No way.

You can't do that, my beloved.

If...

something happens to me one day,

you need to give yourself a chance, you know that?

I don't ever want to see you alone and forlorn again.

If one day,

death should bereave you of me,

do enshrine this...

death shall never...

bereave me of my love for you.

Mm,

then...

I will take good care of myself

and be very mindful,

so that...

I can live a long, long, long life.

As for...

all the strength...

you expend making the bullets today,

I'll make it up to you.

With...

every ounce of strength I have.

Are you actually so touched that you cry?

♫At this hour, I shall solemnly solicit♫

♫The sacred master to whom I am deeply indebted♫

♫To protect and to shield my spirit♫

♫With the holy mantra,♫

♫Incantation, and sorcery arching over the sky♫

♫There dwell ethereal blessings, veiled in protection, to guard the mortal wight♫

They are not to be made excessively.

Use them only when you must.

I can smoke in your shop, right?

Don't act like you're gonna listen when I tell you not to.

Thank you, brother.

What's up, Singh?

They actually did it, huh...

Well, gotta be proud of their attempt.

But unfortunately,

they're all gonna fucking die.

Lieutenant!

Lieutenant!

Lieutenant!

What is the matter?

Mom is in danger.

Thong,

go help your mom.

I shall follow shortly.

I am happy for you, Master,

that you two finally met.

Her charm of metta

is as exquisite as the treatise stated.

No wonder...

she is Master Bulan's karmic soulmate.

Yantra or guns,

should you harbor ill intentions,

severe consequences shall follow.

You yourself shall not use the consecrated bullets

until you are certain that the person before you...

is truly one upon whom they should be used.

♫It's not that I don't feel it♫

♫It's not that I'm cold-hearted♫

♫For the love you've given♫

♫It's because it feels too good to be true,♫

♫So much so that I doubt if it's true♫

♫If it's smoke and mirrors, a dream that lingers♫

♫Deeply swayed by love, all while shaken with dread,♫

♫Scared that it's not love after all in the end♫

♫What if, between us,♫

♫It's nothing but a perfect illusion,♫

♫Nothing short of deception?♫

♫What I've kept hidden for ages,♫

♫Do you know how painful it is♫

♫To keep my heart locked away in a cage?♫

♫Can you so gently give me some time,♫

♫For me to ponder what's on my mind?♫

♫I would hate to be wavering when love binds♫

♫Deeply swayed by love, all while shaken with dread,♫

♫Scared that it's not love after all in the end♫

♫Do you know how painful it is♫

♫Tell me it's not an illusion you beautifully created♫

♫Don't let my heart suffer and ache inside this cage♫

♫It's nothing but a perfect illusion,♫

♫Nothing short of deception?♫

♫What I've kept hidden for ages,♫

♫Do you know how painful it is♫
