=When a Snail Falls in Love 2023= =Episode 16=

(An adaptation of the novel "When a Snail Falls in Love" by Ding Mo)

Hey.

You still don't want to wake up?

Ming, Da is still unconscious?

Wake up, Da.

Da.

I bought flowers for you.

Wakey-wakey.

Give me. I'll put it in a vase.

God knows when he'll wake up.

Ming needs to look after Da now.

Other than us,

we only have Mr. Han and Ning left.

We won't have enough manpower

so should we talk to Chief

and ask him to assign more people to us?

No need.

Let's clean up the mess first.

What do you mean?

Do you remember the day when Eig was killed?

We were hunting down a criminal who pretended to be a doctor.

We got the security footage.

Before he killed the victim,

he made a call.

And that someone might be working at the police station.

You're saying that...

I passed the call log to the relevant department.

If the owner of the number turns out to be one of us,

there's a traitor

in our force.

And we need to identify him.

Hi.

Wasu.

You're so early.

I want to be the first person

you meet today.

Well, I was the first person Mu saw this morning.

Hey, Bo.

Nice to meet you.

How are you?

I just came back from my hometown.

Who would have thought

that so many things

could happen within a month?

Are you free tonight?

Do you want to join my friend's party?

I heard there will be

many famous desserts.

Sure, why not?

Wonderful. I'll pick you up in the evening.

I'm... I'm waving at you.

Okay.

Miss Mu, what's troubling you?

Well...

I'm not used to a big scene.

You'll be fine, Miss Mu.

Once Pe is here,

ask him to pick your outfit. You'll be more confident.

All right?

Okay.

(P.I.T.)

This number comes from the police station, yes.

But it is connected to a storeroom.

It used to be the office for P.I.T.

but after Chief got you guys a bigger space,

it became a storeroom.

Can I look at the security footage?

The security camera on the corridor broke down last month.

We asked someone to look into it

but it's still broken.

I see.

All right.

Come in.

I shall get going.

I checked.

Ming and Da were out

that day.

Mr. Han was in his office all day long

and everyone on the team has an alibi.

(Sen sent a message.)

Who is that?

You may go.

Are you upset, Pita?

You have the right to do and see whoever you want.

Jealousy

is an uncontrollable negative sentiment when one assumes

that his loved one isn't giving him enough attention.

If it's all in your head,

why can't you control your emotions?

That's because

you're important to me, Vita.

I can't control myself.

You may go.

Okay.

It's good to be self-aware.

I will be back soon.

Let's end it here.

Sorry, Sen.

Don't be, Vita.

It's not your fault.

I know I can't force it.

And I know he never leaves your mind.

I'm here to bid you farewell.

I have to go to Mumbai for my family business.

Can you do something for me before I leave?

Yes?

Promise me

that you'll be happy.

All right?

Ah!

Call me if you miss me.

The timezone is not that far apart.

I want to see the Chief.

Go in, Captain Pla.

Go in, Captain Pla.

The mysterious poison case has finally been solved.

Both culprits are arrested

and two selfless officers

rescued the hostages.

They exaggerated it.

Either way,

it has restored the people's faith in the police.

Your team did very well

in this serial murder case.

Credit where credit's due.

I applied for a promotion for you.

Soon enough,

you can be a vice chief in another province.

Thanks, sir.

However,

I'd like to revisit the Luger case.

I would like that too

but you need to present new evidence.

I will

have it soon.

Did you have a breakthrough?

Eig died under mysterious circumstances.

I have reasons to believe

that we have a mole here.

If there's a traitor,

he'd surely give himself away.

Let's not act rashly and alert him.

Be careful not

to leak this to anyone.

Yes, sir.

Hello?

How do you feel today?

I'll pay you a visit later.

My wife has been feeling unwell.

She's in the hospital now.

I shall make myself scarce.

I wish her a speedy recovery.

Don't tell anyone

about my wife.

Noted.

Hello?

Any update?

Sir.

We went through all the past cases associated with Luger

but we found nothing new.

No, there will be something.

I'm an officer for several decades now

and trust me, there must be something.

Trust us, Captain.

I trust all of you.

Hello.

Let's have a meal together.

I'm waiting for you at Veeyam Restaurant near the station.

See you in thirty minutes.

Okay.

I'll be there.

What happened?

Nothing.

I have to be away for a while.

Captain, these documents might be relevant to the case.

Put them on my desk.

You're so much more approachable now, Captain.

Is that so?

(Sawasdee Sweets)

Mu.

The organizer is very happy with the desserts we supply.

They love them.

That's wonderful.

Indeed.

I'll help you out during the event, Mu.

Thank you.

Hi, Wasu.

It's been a while.

- What have you been up to? - The same old thing.

Wow.

You must be a professional now.

No, not as good as you.

Hi.

Are you talking to me?

I'm not sure if Wasu mentioned me or not.

We used to work together.

Here.

Oh, come on.

We're not old enough to reminisce about the old days.

Sorry.

Wasu, this is my company card.

Call me if you need anything.

I'll check that place out.

Go ahead.

Wasu.

I'll go and find a seat now.

The heels are killing me.

Okay.

Come.

We're going there.

How do you feel now?

It's hurting.

It'll be better after some rest.

Wasu! Hey!

I'll join you later.

I just saw a friend. I'm going to talk to him and I'll be back.

Okay.

I'm here to supply the desserts.

Really?

Is that so?

I'll see you later.

Sure.

It's been a while and now, you don't remember me at all?

Of course, I remember you.

How long has it been?

Ten years.

Are you taken now?

Who's texting you now?

It's about work.

You're always on your phone when you're with me.

It's about work.

Really?

Your eyes are glued to the screen

that you hardly see me at all.

No.

I don't have a girlfriend.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I'll be frank with you.

I have a girlfriend already.

She's a captain in P.I.T.

Do you want her number?

Hello.

Hi.

I have a reservation under Pla.

Mr. Pla.

Come with me.

Here.

I think I was led to the wrong table.

No, you weren't.

Captain Pla, is it?

I'm Rine.

Okay.

Miss Rine, is it?

Yes.

You know what?

This meal

is on me.

I'm busy now.

Sorry.

Pla, wait!

Pla.

Wait.

Can we talk?

Sorry.

I...

I'm taken.

Hold on.

Ask your girlfriend to come here.

What's up, Wasu?

(Come to Veeyam Restaurant now.)

(Hurry.)

Veeyam Restaurant.

Veeyam Restaurant?

It just opened.

It's fancy.

Should we try it?

Yes.

Sure.

But I'm broke.

Ouch.

Then why did you...

Calm down.

Hi.

Watch where you're going, miss.

Geez.

Hi. May I help you?

Captain.

Wasu...

If you can prove that you're taken,

I'll let you go.

If not, you

have to be my boyfriend.

I...

Vita...

Do you know?

Your mother already warned me

that you would try to get out by pretending that you're taken.

Vita.

He is...

Mu?

Okay, I'm on my way.

Captain.

You owe me an explanation

about this.

Vita.

I will always have your back.

Sorry.

Don't be so uptight.

Hi, everyone.

I'm Ning, single and ready to mingle.

Read the room!

She's with Captain now?

(I will keep the secret.)

(Okay.)

They make good escargots here.

Try it.

No, thanks.

Snails are too cute

to be eaten.

Oh, my.

You

are such an adorable guy.

In my eyes,

snails are the cutest creature.

I will not eat them.

Sorry, I have to use the loo.

Me too.

I'll be back.

Too cute

to be eaten.

Stop teasing, Han.

Captain is also very cute.

Hush.

- Eat, Ning. - Yes.

Yes, sir.

You must be Officer Vita.

The desserts from the party aren't as good as yours.

Yours are much better.

I see it now.

Captain Pla

must have told Vita to hide their relationship status

so that he can date other women.

What a jerk!

How could he do that to my sister?

Captain Pla isn't like that.

You're too gullible, Mu.

Men are like this, I tell you.

I know them.

- My friends are like that. - Wasu.

Can I leave?

What happened?

I want some privacy.

I...

Sorry.

Did I annoy you with my rant?

Please let me go.

No, but you...

Mu, what's the matter?

Wasu.

No need to get out.

I can walk.

Thanks.

I asked your colleague.

She said that you're single.

Thanks.

Vita.

Miss Rine said that I am single.

Is that true?

Is the woman outside the captain's girlfriend?

No.

It's not Ming.

I knew it.

Your mother told me

that you love

crab roes

but not crab meat.

Have some.

Our captain sure has an acquired taste.

Ning.

(I didn't know you like crab roes. We should have Chinese next time.)

Here, I peeled it for you.

Have some, Pita.

Pita?

It must be your first time hearing this.

Don't be surprised.

Only his family gets to use this pet name.

You'll get used to it soon.

Vita?

Calm down.

Enough!

You...

Stop it.

Let go of me.

I can let go of you but you cannot slap her.

Captain, did you do this on purpose to...

To make you jealous?

You were

jealous, weren't you?

I guess

I care too much about you

that I lost control of myself.

Captain pulled a trick.

How cunning.

- What? - Whose kid is this?

Come.

Hold on.

You and he

even have a child now?

This can't be real.

I'll tell his mother!

We're the police. We'll handle this.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Sorry.

I asked everyone and no one has seen the baby's mother.

Thank you.

I'll go back to my work then.

Poor guy.

I checked the security footage

and didn't see his mother enter this restaurant either.

He came here alone.

Does he have something we can use to identify his name?

He has an anklet.

Oh, well.

What's your name, little boy?

They are holding hands now.

Ning!

They are.

What's wrong, Vita?

Watch where you're going.

My boy!

My son!

Miss. Miss.

That's my baby.

Let go of me.

Miss.

What makes you think that he's your child?

That's my baby!

No.

This isn't your baby.

Ming.

Let me deliver it.

How eager of you.

You just want to see Linda, don't you?

You know me.

However,

I do need

your expertise here.

Captain said

that this is urgent.

Don't worry.

What takes others three days to finish,

I'll only need three hours.

- No problem at all. - Go, Ning.

You have wasted one minute already.

- Okay. - Don't get carried away by Linda.

Yes.

How old is your baby?

Three.

No.

One.

How old is he?

Miss.

Give me back my child. He's hungry.

I need to feed him.

Please.

- He needs his milk now. - Calm down, miss.

Miss.

How are you going to feed him?

Breastfeed?

I don't think so.

Because the stain on your cardigan tells me

that it's baby formula.

If you're lactating, it won't leave stains

in this pattern

and position.

You fed him baby formula.

He didn't like it so he struggled

and pushed the bottle away.

That's why there are wet spots on your sleeves.

When I asked you how old your child is,

you hesitated between three

and one.

No mother

will forget her child's age.

Miss.

You can remain silent.

The result of the maternity test will be out soon.

We will have the answer soon.

Don't look at me.

I'm a single man who doesn't know how to look after a baby.

Me too.

Why won't he drink milk?

Captain.

Can we ask that impostor to feed him?

She's better than all of us here, clearly.

No.

I agree with the captain.

We cannot trust the woman yet.

I'm giving up.

Vita.

Save me.

I'm...

Captain.

You should have used this secret weapon earlier.

It's not mine.

It's Vita's.

Mine?

So sweet.

Vita, marry him already.

He's father material.

Let's stop.

We should buy some baby formula. Let's go.

After you, Han.

Me?

Yes.

Wait.

Choo, choo.

That should cheer the baby up.

Choo, choo.

Do you like it?

Smile.

How is that my bubble gun?

I was supposed to invite you to a picnic

so I brought it with me.

However...

Right?

Right?

Let me play with it.

Bubbles!

We're back.

This is so cute.

Officer Ning,

Miss Linda is here.

Okay.

Oh.

Hey.

Han.

Let me do this.

Thank you for coming here, Miss Linda.

I owe you a meal.

Here, please.

Look at your desperate face.

Here.

Sample A and Sample B confirm

that they are not biologically related.

That means the woman you met before the restaurant

is not the child's mother.

We have entered the baby's DNA

into the database of parents who lost their babies.

We discovered

that the baby's parents are in another province.

I have contacted them

and they are very relieved.

However, the baby's mother is still

reeling from shock after she lost the baby two weeks ago.

The baby's father has to look after the baby's mother

so he can't be here to pick the baby up.

Can you make the trip to bring the baby home?

Sure.

Thanks.

- Then... - Wow.

My job here is done. Bye.

As for the meal...

I'm just doing my duty.

I didn't do it for you.

So hot but so cold.

Ning.

Ming, don't add insult to injury.

What do you want?

I shall call you

Watermelon.

Linda!

Who's going to drive him home?

We should

let his parents do it.

Right? You want that, don't you?

A glass of warm milk.

It's from a famous place.

I queued up very early this morning to buy it.

It's good for your health.

What's wrong?

What's bothering you?

Nothing.

You keep saying nothing.

I don't know what happened.

I can't read your mind.

Mu.

Is that you, Mu?

Po?

It's you.

So you own this

dessert place?

Hi.

I'm Wasu,

Mu's boyfriend.

I'm Po,

Mu's childhood friend.

Nice to meet you.

Hi.

Nice to meet you too.

Do you mind?

I'd like to speak with Mu in private

because we haven't seen

each other for a while.

Sure.

Just pretend that I'm not here.

Wasu.

Just go back first.

Okay.

Let's hang out after I finish work.

Mu.

You used to make desserts for me.

I miss them.

So how is your dessert place doing?

If it's doing well,

will you consider opening a branch?

It's extra revenue.

Hey.

It's for you.

Han.

How did the interrogation go?

Did she confess?

Not at all.

She keeps mumbling

that he's her baby.

When she isn't mumbling,

she sings.

It's torture, Han.

While Captain gets to go

on a family trip with the baby and his girlfriend.

We have to do all the work.

I'm exhausted.

Missing Da, Han?

Hush.

Sorry, Ming.

Think before you speak. Let's go.

Sorry.

(Boonyavej Private Hospital)

Da.

Captain and Vita made their relationship

public.

So Ning lost 1,000 baht to us.

Poor him.

You know, when we were eating at a restaurant yesterday,

a woman appeared, searching for her baby.

It turns out

that the woman isn't the mother of the baby.

Da.

When you're gone,

the team is a mess.

Peek-a-boo!

If you won't eat it,

I will.

You're home now, Watermelon.

So you are the death of Grandma Lek.

You must be a naughty kid, Pita.

Me?

Yes.

Pla is the most mischievous.

Grandma Lek.

No, I'm not mischievous.

Beibo is the mischievous one.

Pla!

You're talking behind my back again.

No.

Pla, you have a son now?

It's not mine. Don't make things up.

So you have this baby with another man

and asked Pla to raise him?

Hey! Watch your mouth.

Or is it that another woman has this baby with you

and you asked Vita to raise him?

What are you talking about?

Pla.

You...

Grandma.

All right.

Don't just stand there.

Come inside.

Let me whip up some food.

Shake it gently.

Don't use boiling water.

Okay.

You two are as clueless as new parents.

You will be a good mother, Vita.

Oh, Grandma Lek.

All right. I'll stop teasing.

Why not spend a night here?

It's going to be dark soon if you leave now.

Besides,

Watermelon looks tired.

Maybe he didn't get enough sleep last night.

You two should rest too.

I'll look after Watermelon.

All right?

Okay.

I will sleep with Vita today.

Pla, since you'll leave with her tomorrow,

just let me borrow Vita for one day.

Okay.

What's the matter?

Tell me.

I don't understand.

Why do you like Pla?

What does cheating have anything to do with it?

I was just thinking

if you would cheat on him.

Like

I know Pla very well.

He works so hard that he will neglect his girlfriend.

Sooner or later,

you will cheat on him.

I just want to find out

how likely that is.

Sigh.

It will never happen.

Pita is...

He

has a strong sense of justice.

He's responsible,

resilient,

and...

Very handsome.

Marry him then.

I will be your bridesmaid.

Make sure you toss the bouquet to me.

What are you on about?

Enough.

Sleep now.

Marry him, huh?

Sweet dreams.

Sweet dreams.

She needs her medications.

I don't think

she's mentally stable enough to go through the interrogation.

This child trafficking case is related to the Luger case.

It's time to revisit that case.

Yes, finally!

A lot of tourists went missing.

Other police stations also have similar reports.

The higher-up treats this seriously

and wants us to get to the bottom of it.
