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

Hey, buddy.

Is it settled?

What?

Just one girl?

Do you think it's easy to be a swindler on the street?

I'll call you later.

Hey!

It's you again!

What do you want?

I was just passing by. I didn't overhear anything.

Which way is Alley 3?

That way?

What are you doing?

Da!

Did you leave the hospital?

Da!

I'm alright.

No, you're not!

Hey!

We have a guest here!

Da...

This way.

The party is in this room.

Go inside!

No!

Sit here.

Di.

The batch from this morning.

Take these two with you.

Okay.

You...

Are you okay?

The same scar on that woman.

Hey!

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Take this with you.

Okay.

Remember.

Please let me go, sir!

As you know,

there is no way I will ever let you go.

Get her out of here now!

- Stop right there! - Let go!

Sit down!

Let go!

Stop!

Stop hurting her!

Aren't you a brave one?

You'll go

in her stead.

Fine.

But I want you to promise

you will stop hurting these girls

if I go with you.

But...

Why should I listen to you?

Take her away.

- Don't touch me! - Let go!

Come here!

Stop resisting! Get over here!

Come here!

You troublemaker.

Stop resisting,

it will only hurt more.

You,

put some makeup on her.

As for you,

get changed when the makeup is done.

Get over here!

Let go of me!

How hard can it be?

Where are you going?

You could get yourself killed!

Stay here and sit still.

Do as they say.

Otherwise,

I'll be in trouble as well.

Please?

Trust me on this.

Da!

Da!

Da, get up!

Da!

Here comes another with a death wish.

From now on,

you belong to him.

For everyone out there, you are as good as

non-existent.

Be ready to welcome your new life.

Hey.

Be gentle.

If the auctioned item gets any blemishes,

you're in trouble.

Go.

To room one.

Don't get the wrong room.

Vita.

Pita!

Pita!

Pita! I'm so sorry! I messed up.

- I am so sorry. - No, you did great.

You've been very brave.

I ran into Mr. Han.

Mr. Han?

I thought he was sick.

- What is he doing here? - First, we have to leave.

Name your price.

Pita.

Do you remember when Eig died,

we all thought

there was a mole among us?

It couldn't have been Mr. Han.

Pita.

You never let sentiments sway you.

Whatever the case is, Mr. Han has his reason to be here.

I'll talk to him now.

Ming is here too.

Meet up with her.

Ning will

bring reinforcements.

Pita.

Stay safe.

Hello, Ming.

Vita, are you safe now?

Aren't you on stage?

Sorry.

I'm at VIP room ten.

I'm collecting evidence of them auctioning women.

Ning and the reinforcements are already at the front door.

Okay.

A bunch of worthless scoundrels.

Hey!

Hey!

Wake up!

What are you doing here?

Where is the girl who came with you?

Where is she?

Buddy,

she was the one who knocked me out.

Darn it!

This is bad.

What are you doing?

We are the police!

Liars!

What did you say?

Open your eyes and look closely!

Do you have a search warrant?

Oh? A search warrant?

We don't have it, so what?

Cuff him.

Let go of me!

Stop right there!

Stop!

Turn around.

Bring them all to the station.

Yes!

Move!

- Get up. - Walk.

Move.

Move.

Move!

Go.

Captain.

Vita said you ran into Mr. Han. Was it true?

Yeah.

You...

You...

Mr. Han?

Mr. Han!

Mr. Han!

Mr. Han!

Call an ambulance now!

Call the ambulance!

Come to the crime scene immediately!

An officer has been stabbed!

Hurry!

Mr. Han!

Mr. Han!

Mr. Han!

Who did this?

Help...

Help...

Ming!

Bring me more tea.

Tea?

There is tea inside the cup, sir.

But it's not hot tea.

Tea should be hot!

What is this nonsense of a report?

It's unusable.

Did you learn anything at school?

Why you...

A waste of my time.

Ning...

Lieutenant Hannarong Kittijaruean,

a member of Bangkok Police Station's

Police Investigators Team.

Last night,

he was attacked

at the alley of the Golden Valley Club.

The victim

was stabbed by a triangular bayonet

which tore his vital organs,

which led to excessive blood loss.

Such is the cause of his death.

Golden Valley Club

was suspected of abducting women,

sexual trades, and illegal organ deals.

It's likely they are linked to Luger's case.

There are two types of women they abduct.

The beautiful ones

would be taken to the sex auction.

The period of use is half a year.

Women from the other category

will be traded as organ donors

and sold based on the client's requirements.

They killed Mr. Han.

They killed Mr. Han.

Ning!

Based on the investigation,

Mr. Han was indeed

a guest of the VIP room three.

What did you say, Ming?

How is that even possible?

Ning!

Darn it!

"A shocking scandal of the police force."

"A veteran officer became a perp."

They have no right to say that!

What proof do they have?

Captain!

Where are you going? Have you lost your mind?

They have no right to say this!

How dare they write about him that way!

Captain.

You need to calm down. Our priority is to find the culprit.

Do not make the same mistake you made with Badin.

Captain!

Vita.

We received an update from the hospital. The girl we rescued

is awake.

We'll go to the hospital.

Do you remember me?

We met last night

inside that room.

I have a question about the people

who hurt you.

There was someone who liked sweets.

He said

the pain would be gone after eating a sweet.

Do you remember what he looked like?

They...

They took my kidney.

Okay.

Rest well.

Thanks for the information.

What a shame.

She doesn't remember the look of those bad guys.

But I remember

there was another girl who got beaten up that night.

I wanted to save her,

but they took her before I could.

But it's strange.

Her name is not on the files of the victims.

Vita.

Are you sure you're not mistaken?

I'm sure of it.

I still remember her look.

I should get back to work, Ming.

I can't visit Da today.

Send him my regard.

So I...

It's nothing.

Okay.

See you later.

Da.

You already know, don't you?

Who gave you the orders?

No idea.

Captain.

Wait outside.

Yes.

It's you again.

You're nothing but bad luck.

Bad luck?

Who was he?

Who was the man?

I don't know!

You don't know?

Do you know now?

Do you?

I don't know.

Hold on!

I give up.

I've only met him once.

No one saw his face.

Why is that?

Because he wore a mask.

A mask?

What is the name?

Give me his name!

- Help! - Captain!

- Help! Save me! - Captain! Calm down!

Help!

Captain!

He had a scar on his face.

We only know him as

Luger.

Luger?

(There were three wounds on Mr. Han.)

(They were all at the abdomen.)

(All three stabs wounded vital organs.)

(The laceration went upward.)

(The murderer was standing right in front of Mr. Han.)

Vita.

Yes, Chief?

It's alright.

Formality is not needed.

We caught the suspects,

but Mr. Han...

Every operation comes with risks.

Sometimes, we have to make the sacrifice.

You must get yourself together.

I think our game with Luger

has just begun.

Yes.

I feel the same.

By the way,

the hospital just called.

You talked to one of the victims yesterday.

Yes.

There are some leads we are unsure of.

Did you get any new leads?

No.

It's the same as the woman who abducted children.

They probably suffered a lot of mental trauma.

If you need any help,

feel free to let me know.

Yes.

(Police Investigators Team)

(Pita won't talk to anyone at the moment.)

(Not even me.)

(Police Lieutenant Hannarong Kittijaruean)

How are you feeling?

Shouldn't you stay in the hospital?

How was Mr. Han's funeral?

His remains will be cremated tomorrow.

Where is Vita?

She went looking for the captain.

I'm going to Mr. Han's home.

Maybe I can find something there.

I should wait for the captain,

but the chief told me

the captain couldn't control his emotions.

It'd probably be too much for him.

It's best he's not there.

We'll go with you.

Come on.

Let's go.

Two, one...

- Happy birthday! - Happy birthday!

Everyone, get ready!

Best wishes, three and four!

- Happy Birthday! - Mr. Han!

- Happy Birthday! - Mr. Han!

- Yeah! Happy birthday! - Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Go on and play elsewhere.

Forget about me.

The captain and Vita had already sent me their gifts.

Mr. Han, did you think we'd forget your birthday?

- Yup. - Yup, I forgot.

Just kidding.

Over here.

I bought this for you.

It's the perfect present for an innocent old bachelor.

Ning.

You little rascal! What are you giving me?

- Do you want it or not? - Sir!

Mine is better.

It helps with back pain and sore neck.

Forget about the old pillow. Get rid of it.

But mine shows the greatest love for Mr. Han.

My present has to be the biggest.

Sir!

Since you are the sharpshooter on our team,

how about

we have a game?

Don't look down on me.

I'm the best in the entire police station.

No personal belongings were lost.

These are only daily items.

Have you found anything useful?

I found nothing.

I found something.

My present for Mr. Han.

This brings back the nostalgia.

Let's leave.

(Missing Mr. Han)

(Police Lt. Hannarong Kittijaruean) (Born: April 12, 1969, Died October 24, 2022)

Officer,

have you been here the entire night?

Yes.

I'll be going soon.

I will catch the murderer.

I am saddened by the recent event.

We lost a valued officer.

I leave this case in your hand.

Yes.

Ning.

Did you see the captain?

No. I've been looking for him the entire morning.

Da, did you see the captain?

I've been calling his phone, he never answered.

Vita.

No.

I'm hungry.

Let's get some tom yum soup at the cafeteria.

Let's go.

The best in the world you mentioned?

The best in the world

has to be the shop Mr. Han recommended.

We'll go there.

Yeah.

He said he'd take me there.

But sadly,

we never got the chance.

Chin up.

Mr. Han hated seeing people with long faces.

Let's grab some food.

Hey.

I guarantee

this is the best around.

Are you sure?

You've been working here for a week. How do you feel?

I'm still not used to the new environment.

It somewhat deviated from my expectation.

How so?

Are they not following your orders?

Something like that.

Especially Officer Ning.

He is slowing down the whole operation.

He even brought us risks that weren't a problem originally.

You are replacing the old leader they respected.

I understand.

Sometimes, they should know whose orders to take

and who has the authority.

Captain.

I have no doubt about your professional capabilities.

But in here, we are a family.

Simply giving orders won't work.

You shouldn't

talk to us only when you are assigned a mission.

If you want to give an order, it's most effective when everyone's eating.

Let's start with this lunch, shall we?

Sit down and join us.

How did you find this place?

It's a famous tom yum shop.

I'd like to try the food here.

But Mr. Han never brought you here.

How do you know this place?

I just...

I searched along the route between Mr. Han's home

and the police station or the famous tom yum shop

that sells beer.

After all, Mr. Han loved beer.

That's how I found this place.

Pita.

Mr. Han has left us.

We are all grieving.

But you are the captain.

You can't hide here and run away from reality.

I'm not hiding.

Try it out.

Anything else, Vita?

Pita.

I found this candy wrapping

inside Mr. Han's drawer.

So?

It's a normal wrapping.

This thing can be found everywhere.

Do you also think Mr. Han was there for the prostitutes?

Do you think he was the mole?

He may not mean anything to you,

but he meant a lot to me.

He would never hire a prostitute.

He would never be a mole!

(If Mr. Han was investigating Luger's case,)

(why didn't we know about it?)

(I wouldn't be surprised if Ming and I didn't know.)

(But even Da and Ning never noticed anything.)

(Even you)

(were kept in the dark.)

(Mr. Han is dead, right?)

(I had warned him.)

(Naga reaches every corner of darkness.)

(There are demons in his eyes.)
