(I am now at the exhibition showcase of the sacred Naga Gem.)

(Antiques Museum) (Our source says it was stolen once.)

But today, a shocking event took place.

(This antique miraculously showed up in front of the museum.)

(There were no witnesses as to who brought it back there.)

(It's speculated that a certain public figure might have done it out of guilt.)

(Or, perhaps it was out of the fear for the mystery of the Naga Gem.)

(Mission commences)

Come on, Wasu. Stop complaining.

That's all for now. I'm heading to the exhibition.

Thank you for the kind donation to our museum, Mr. Eig.

And thank you for the support so far.

We couldn't have pulled it off without your help.

We're helping each other out.

A national treasure is very much like everyone's treasure.

I'm glad that it is back now.

But there's something strange.

This is a precious item.

What were the people thinking when they were returning it?

But this is good news.

We must be extra cautious from now on.

Do not lose it again.

Yes.

The security system is air-tight.

This is quite something. I'm glad to see it.

I hope everything goes well

for the event.

Pass.

Let's go.

I'm so sorry!

Sorry.

It's okay.

Keep an eye on that man.

Where is the ladies' room?

That way.

Thank you.

(This is security.)

(How can I help you?)

I spotted a suspicious man in the lobby.

He wears a black suit and a black baseball cap.

He carries a 40 cm long brown bag.

I suspect he carries dangerous arms inside.

(Hold on.)

His behavior was very suspicious.

He wasn't looking at the antiques

but watching the surveillance and security guards.

Judging by the angle in which he swung his arm,

the weight of the bag he was carrying was over 1.5 kg.

It has to be important.

If my guess is right,

there is a bomb inside the bag.

(The security system of the museum is of the highest standards.)

(We check it every day.)

(So spare me your lies.)

You are ruining my plan.

If I were the bad guy, you'd be dead by now.

Stay here.

Believe me.

Everyone will be safe.

Naga Gem!

Everyone, duck!

Down!

Down!

Cut it out!

=When a Snail Falls in Love 2023=

=When a Snail Falls in Love 2023= =Episode 1=

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

Move this way!

Safety first!

Which way?

Over there!

(Tell the boss)

(I know how to get the stuff.)

(I need you to get a demolition expert.)

(Do not disclose my identity to them.)

I've finally found you,

S19.

I will contact him.

(And remember, get a new guy.)

(Finish him off after the job is done.)

I don't want loose ends.

You want to raise the price?

Go on, it's in my pocket.

Eig, real name, Sawangsusi.

A core member of the Naga Gang.

You're a suspect in many illicit activities,

including smuggling and stealing antiques and human trafficking.

But I am arresting you for stealing the antique.

As for the other charges,

you will have concurrent sentences

once the investigation is over.

Let go of me!

- Let go of me! - Stop it!

Get off of me!

The police will be here soon!

Go!

Go! Leave now!

Run!

Let go!

Let go!

If you hadn't helped,

I would've died.

Enough of that. What about my commission?

I hope it's worth the risk of helping you.

What are you doing?

It's a male around 30 years old,

six feet tall,

wearing a black outfit.

He wore a black baseball cap.

And...

He wears size-9 shoes!

What about his physique and look?

He looks fit

and

quite handsome.

But I think he's been professionally trained.

He is a dangerous man, officer.

This is him, officer! This is the man!

Arrest him, officer!

Hello, Captain.

Did anyone get hurt?

A woman bumped into another person while escaping and fell.

Another woman died from a gunshot.

Get back to your work. I can take it from here.

Yes.

You're a police officer?

I see.

Smoke bombs.

It worked as a warning but it was non-lethal.

If you wanted to lure the criminal, that was a bit over the top!

Did you not see the kids here today? What if...

This is a police operation. It's none of your business.

I am warning you...

Seeing that your intention was good,

I won't charge you with obstruction of justice.

But if you run into similar situations again, please stand down.

You caused us a lot of trouble today.

You could have gotten hurt.

The police's duty is to protect the people and stop crimes.

I am a police officer!

The police's duty

is to protect the people

and stop crimes.

The police's duty is to protect the people and stop crimes.

I don't need you to tell me that!

I am a police officer.

I am a police officer too!

Of, you came to Ratchaburi for work.

I thought it's because you missed me.

Come on, Grandma.

I did come here to visit you.

Pla.

How long are you staying this time?

I must get back to my work.

I don't know why you came back to Ratchaburi.

But it's probably because of the Naga case you've been working on.

I saw the news.

There was a commotion at the museum.

The case went cold for some time.

But some new leads came up.

I had to see to it myself.

But the gang doesn't have a leader now.

Grandma, don't worry.

Can't you let the elite unit take care of this case?

I want to finish them off.

I want to do it myself.

Those villains

don't even fear death.

Maybe they came back

not just to stir up trouble at the museum,

but to take revenge as well.

I promise

I will take care of myself.

Besides,

I have a capable team.

Sometimes, they are better than the elite unit.

If they weren't cut out for the job,

I wouldn't have put them in the team.

Don't worry.

Beibo.

Let's prepare the food, my child.

(Records of Vita)

(Physical performance: 50.1, critical thinking 98.9)

This is the PIT.

(The suspect's car is about to arrive.)

Got it. Thanks, I'm on my way.

Let's go, Mr. Han. We've got work to do.

The suspect we need to interrogate is about to arrive, Mr. Han.

Mr. Han?

(Royal Thai Police)

Sir? What are you reading, Mr. Han?

Mr. Han!

Get moving! The suspect is about to be here!

The suspect we need to interrogate is about to be here, get moving!

Come on, Mr. Han! Wake up!

Our men were ambushed!

It must be the Tiger Gang.

They came looking for trouble because one of them was getting interrogated.

No, it's not the Tiger Gang.

It's a junior from the police academy.

Her intellect is peerless.

Her performance is outstanding.

And more importantly,

she is cute!

She's just my cup of tea.

Let me make it clear to you.

No one from our unit is allowed to go for this girl.

Are you talking about the new guy that's coming to our unit?

Yeah, Mr. Han.

Let me put it this way. I'd let her interrogate me every day!

Please punish me with those strong and long legs.

I should do it with mine, Ning.

Officer Da, don't be so mean.

My sweet Vita...

Yes?

Oh, she's here.

Second Lieutenant Vita Wasongkanachai, reporting in for duty.

Oh, you're here to deliver a file.

Over there.

Mr. Han, here you go.

Hey.

Who was the one daydreaming about just now?

Vita.

Vita is standing right there.

What?

You scored 50.1 for physical performance?

Is she cut out for it, sir?

That score is over 50, so she passed the test.

In any case, she is only here for the desk work. Right?

Come on, Mr. Han.

The suspect is about to be here.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Hold this.

Let's go!

The door is unlocked.

Over there!

Seal the entrance!

Hurry!

Close it!

This way!

Stop right there!

Second Lieutenant Marika Thansongpom, reporting in for duty.

A new female officer.

Yeah.

The outstanding and witty officer,

the beauty of the police force, that was you, Ms. Marika.

Can I call you Little Fairy?

I'm flattered.

The assailants are after something else.

So much trouble on your first day of work.

All thanks to this guy. Troublemaker!

Mr. Han!

I'm here to bring my man back.

How bold of you

to walk into a police station for a thug.

You have a death wish?

Shut it!

Old man, I'll put a bullet between your eyes!

I don't work for you.

What are the odds?

You are under arrest!

Put the guns down.

Put the guns down!

What do we do next?

On the ground!

Yes! We're doing it!

Vita, how did you know the Tiger Gang would come in here?

I found this thing

when I walked past the fence.

I didn't know what it was,

so I asked the guard to get rid of it.

Guard.

Hello.

How may I help you?

I found this on the ground.

Could you get rid of this?

Yes.

It's too dangerous for vehicles.

Okay, I'll get rid of it.

But when I heard the tires get punctured and the suspect escaped,

it means these caltrops were purposely left there.

But the suspect's movement was too obvious.

He ran aimlessly while escaping.

If he wanted to escape,

judging by the layout of the police station,

it would've been easier to run for the front gate.

The problem is,

why?

The answer is simple.

The suspect was stalling us by distracting us.

So, explain this to me.

Why this place?

There are officers everywhere.

Wouldn't it be more sensible to intercept halfway?

Why would they take the more risky route?

Try to recall.

Aside from rescuing one of them,

what is here

that is worth such a great risk

for them?

Report.

We examined the perps.

They came to steal the evidence against the Tiger Gang from the evidence room.

They wanted to sabotage the evidence.

And they...

Enough.

You may go now.

Yes.

See? The newcomer is good.

Don't just stand there.

Don't you have work to do?

Chief, haven't you heard?

The suspect was trying to escape, but I used my impeccable skill

to take him down.

Of course I know. That was big news.

Yeah.

But I also know

whom the credit goes to.

Yes.

Not bad, newcomers.

- Yes. - Yes.

Why are there two of you?

We discussed this.

We only want one new guy here!

Yes.

The analytic scores are outstanding,

but the scores for physical performance

didn't reach Captain Pla's requirement.

I'm afraid that you can't get a job here.

I'll assign you to a different unit.

Captain Pla?

Yes.

I'm the chief here,

but

Captain Pla leads the operation unit.

He gets to make the final decision.

If he were here,

I'd let you talk to him in person.

But he's on leave.

(No Pass)

That means...

I request an audience with him.

If you can wait for him,

so can I.

What else should I wait for?

To wait until

I'm unable to unveil the truth.

What truth?

You smell of soap.

There are water stains on your collar.

It means you just took a shower before coming here.

The timing of that shower is suspicious.

But it's insignificant compared to the mark of a ring at your pocket.

The mark of a ring at your pocket

comes from repeatedly putting the ring into the pocket and taking it out.

There are only a handful of reasons for a man to take off his wedding ring.

Based on these behaviors

and the schedule delivered by your secretary

which shows that your schedules are packed every day except today,

here's the question.

Where were you just now?

Is this it?

(69 Motel)

Impressive, Ms. Vita.

An analysis with the right evidence

can give you the right answer.

But, you might also end up with a wrong answer.

An investigation needs more than just evidence.

You must know how to read people.

You still have a lot to learn.

Hey, Vita!

I overheard your conversation with the Chief.

Seriously? You thought the chief was cheating on his wife?

Oh my, that was hilarious.

But forget it, I can't eat lunch while laughing.

The chief really loves his wife.

I'll leave it at that.

There is nothing in this police station that I don't know.

The chief has to meet up with our informants every day.

He wears and takes off the ring

so the informants don't know too much about his personal life.

Just last night, the chief had to work overtime at the office

and go out to meet the informant at a hotel.

How insensible of you, Vita.

(PASS)

So why would he give me the approval?

Perhaps it's because you're an officer with great potential.

Yeah, that's it.

The chief is very observant.

Who were you talking to, Vita?

Oh, you were talking to yourself.

Vita.

Came for a jog before going to work?

I need to work even harder.

The chief was very kind to have let you stay.

But that Captain Pla

is just too strict. He is all about the physical performance scores.

But with that said,

I think he must have a reason for this.

You knew him?

Come on. We're going to be late for work.

Go on without me. I'm taking another lap!

Help!

Help!

Xin!

Xin!

Keep the head raised.

Keep the head raised.

Okay.

Lay down for a little.

Please stay still.

Put pressure on the wound for me.

Aren't you doing it already?

Help me put pressure on it!

Now!

Keep it pressed.

Do not let go.

What now?

Keep pressing it. Do not let go!

Yes, I won't let go.

There has been an attempted murder at the park next to The Place Apartment.

Hold on.

Murder?

Yes. This is an emergency.

Let's go.

Vita, what are you doing here?

I called the police.

But I didn't think they'd send the PIT.

Their family has a friendly relationship with the police.

Whatever, save that for later.

How is the wounded?

She is at the hospital.

She was cut by a saw blade.

We know the gist of it.

This has happened before.

Sorry. Here's the file.

Last month,

we found saw blades at several locations of the park.

The policeman patrolling the area thinks it's the cynical's doing.

We had our doubts, but there was nothing we could do.

At first, we weren't in charge of this case.

But why did Vita say it was an attempted murder

and not a normal accident?

Did you know

someone was hurt by the saw blade?

I didn't say anything.

No, I didn't know.

But judging by the crime scene,

a seal tape was used to alter the pathway.

There are tools unrelated to the case itself.

The culprit opened up a new path so the victim would step on the blades.

The culprit sanded of the place where the saw blade was hidden.

But the blade was sharpened.

And more importantly,

there are the second and third blades.

Judging by the spot where she fell,

the second and third blades would have cut her neck.

That lady was very fortunate.

Her arm saved her from death.

As expected from one with top scores in critical thinking.

What a show-off.

You've shown off long enough. Go back.

Ming, take your friend back.

You'd be a trouble for us if you passed out afterward.

Mr. Han.

What is it?

I must remind you.

If the captain saw this, we'd all be in trouble.

Right?

Hurry up.

So...

Let's head back, Vita.

Why you...

You're the problem.

What if I stay here as a witness?

Then, you can explain it to the captain.

But let me be clear with you,

Captain Pla is not as kind as Chief Indesh.

Let's go.

Okay.

Let's go. Move!

That's how the professional works.

Is this the protrusion?

This is the first blade. The second blade is there.

They have our phones, right?

See? The second and third blades.

(Da, how did it go?)

It's the same MO as last time.

The culprit could be the same person.

(There was no surveillance camera in the area.)

Write down what I'm about to say.

Yes.

To catch the culprit.

We must think like the culprit.

All the crime scenes,

be it the condominium or the mall,

there is only one connection between them. They are owned by CIY.

Every crime scene is a property of CIY.

If it were to cause civil unrest, this won't be the link.

But if someone is out for revenge...

Every revenge plot has a reason.

After going through news threads about CIY, I found something interesting.

In a case where the employee pressed charges against the company,

became disabled due to a leg injury from a construction accident.

He asked for millions in damages.

But the court ruled it an accident due to negligence.

CIY won the lawsuit

and he got nothing in return.

The thing that ruined the employee's life

- was something similar to a saw blade. - Was something similar to a saw blade.

All the set up to lure people into this direction.

The culprit used a weapon similar to the tool that crippled him

for revenge and to serve as a reminder that he was hurt.

He may not have a specific target,

but he wants CIY to suffer the same pain he went through.

So, our target is...

A man with a disability.

And one with a facial profile that matches the news.

Officer Ning.

- It's an employee that sued CIY. - Where and whom?

Why didn't you say something?

Da?

It was an CIY employee

that pressed charges against the company.

How did you know?

The captain just told me on the phone.

Vita just came up with the analysis.

Whatever, we'll talk later.

We must move out now.

Okay. Let's go.

Hold on.

Report!

Where is the captain?

He's on the way, but he wants us to get working before the culprit slips away.

Okay, let's go.

Report!

I can go with you now, right?

Fine, everyone is coming. We'll talk about it when we're there!

This is the block.

The suspect is in unit 605.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Oh no, the elevator is busted.

We'll take the stairs.

Stay here

and wait for the captain.

Hurry!

It's okay.

"Notice for the residents.

The elevator will undergo maintenance

and but will still be powered.

For the ease of checking the system and your safety,

all residents

must not use the elevators."

(Do Not Enter)

Which unit is it?

Da?

Hallway, clear!

Clear!

(Ming, I'm at the old block on the west side.)

The suspect just...

(Vita, what about the suspect?)

(Da, how is it going?)

We are searching for Somcho, the suspect.

He's nowhere to be found.

Bad news, Vita is in trouble.

She just called and said she was on the west side elevator.

(She mentioned something about the suspect before hanging up abruptly.)

You brought a newcomer with you?

Miss.

You didn't press the button.

Which floor?

The same as you.

(Unit 410-423)

The rich only care about making money.

They oppress honest laborers like us.

I know you want to take revenge on CIY.

There are other ways to fight those people.

But what you do now

is wrong.

Spare me your fancy words.

I've lost faith in

the complicated procedures of the court.

You are a police officer.

That makes you one of them.

You don't see lowlifes like us.

You'll see.

You'll see how your death

will make waves.

How can my death help?

In ten minutes, you will be arrested.

Some news outlets might say you've been mistreated and oppressed.

But you will be forgotten soon.

They move on with their high lives.

But you ruined your own future.

Are you giving your life for that?

Who says I'm dying alone?

You're coming with me.

You say they look down on you.

What about you?

What do you see in yourself?

Turn yourself in.

Take me as your hostage.

I'll help you.

I promise.

I hope you start fighting for your rights again.

You won't be alone this time.

Put down the weapon!

Come on.

- Calm down. - Stand back!

Or she dies!

I've thought it through.

This is the only way

to get the justice I seek.

I'm sorry

it has to end this way.

You're safe now.

(Last night at 8:14 PM,)

(the local police received a call from Ms. Mary.)

(She claimed her 16-year-old daughter has been kidnapped by Naga.)

(There were no signs of fighting at the crime scene.)

(Except for)

(traces of Naga.)

(Don't you think it's odd?)

(When we were at her house,)

(we didn't find any amulets or statues of the Naga deity.)

(But she claims she worships the Naga.)
