Don't be afraid.

It's mom.

Xiaowen,

promise mom

to not make a sound,

no matter what you see later.

OK?

Promise mom!

Would you make a pinky promise with mom?

Xiaowen,

remember,

mom and dad will always love you.

Mr. Lin.

You are right on time.

Didn't you get fired from the school

because you were often late?

You changed your perfume.

It still doesn't suit you.

You …

Did you eat breakfast?

Don't you dare eat

at the victim's house again.

I ate breakfast.

I saw the address,

there is nothing good to eat there.

They were all classmates,

but their life circumstances

are so different.

No one's home.

She is home.

I can smell cigarettes.

Miss Dinan,

make yourself at home.

I'm not a lucky person.

I have never won the lottery.

Are you moving?

Yes,

I don't want to die in this shithole.

There's no water left.

Do you want alcohol?

No,

thank you.

I could have some.

That's why

I like male officers better.

Not long ago,

you reported to the police

the strange incident you encountered.

Do you mind telling us about it one more time?

One more time?

The police treated me

as if I lost my mind.

They told me it's not a case

unless there is stealing, robbery,

rape, or murder.

Now you want me to repeat it?

I'm sorry, Miss Dinan,

as you know

there are some useless officers at the station

and I'd like to apologize to you on their behalf.

That's also why,

I brought the No.1 detective in Thailand,

Mr. Lin Mo, here today.

You can tell him everything.

No.1 detective in Thailand.

Thank you.

Really?

You like to stand this close

when you talk to people?

Yes.

Do you like it?

Honestly, I'm not sure

if I need a No.1 detective in Thailand

or a Buddhist master.

Follow me.

When did you find this?

About a week ago.

It was there

when I woke up that day.

We can run the fingerprints.

Who do think it belongs to?

Not necessary!

I compared it already.

It's mine.

Yours?

But …

Officer,

this is why

I was terrified.

This is also why I went to the police

but no one believed me.

I believe you.

Tell me about it.

That day,

as usual,

I had a few drinks

then I fell asleep.

I knew it.

You won't believe me.

Mr. Detective,

I admit I drink,

but I know clearly

what I did that day.

Besides, that palm print is high up there,

how could I possibly get up there

without a ladder?

You mentioned that you heard

the sound of someone reading the sutra when you were asleep.

I felt like I was being lifted

by that sound.

Do you have a figure of the Buddha at home?

Never.

How do you know?

I did not smell any incense ashes.

Yes,

I don't believe in it.

Mr. Detective,

you are becoming more and more interesting.

Have you ever dreamt of

the other Buddhas?

Like Braham?

Why do you ask?

Do you know

Ah Wen and Ah Shui?

They were my high school classmates.

Why do you ask?

They also encountered

some strange incidents,

just like you.

Strange incidents?

What incidents?

Were they the same as mine?

Something similar.

I should have known better.

I should have known better.

Known what?

I need to make a call.

To whom?

Zhaya,

just to see how she is doing.

I thought this was a thriller movie.

I never thought this is actually a horror movie.

The palm print on the ceiling

shows joss stick ashes.

This type of joss stick

is only used in the temples.

The temple?

Zhaya is in the hospital.

Zhaya is the most timid

and the least accomplished

among us.

Don't frighten her.

What are you doing here?

I called her yesterday

and found out she is in the hospital.

I'm just here to see if she is okay.

I heard there were some weird incidents

are happening to you too?

Is that true?

Hold on.

Zhaya is very fraigile at the moment,

please don't

upset her.

Questions are fine,

but …

don't mention Ah Shui's death.

I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it.

What did you say?

Ah Shui is dead?

We can talk about this later.

Come on in.

Zhaya,

there are people here to see you.

That's Detective Lin

and this is Officer Sasha.

They are both good people.

They can help us.

You can tell them what you told me

just now.

Have you ever heard

the sound of the steel balls coming from upstairs?

Do you mean

the vibration sound coming from the compression

on spots where steel and concrete

are mixed together?

I thought so too

when I first heard it.

The landlord hired someone later to check

the plumbing system of the entire building

but no one could explain

where those beads

came from.

When was the last time

all of you saw Ah Shui?

A few months ago

at our ten-year class reunion party.

I haven't seen her since.

Did you have fun last time you saw her?

Anything

out of ordinary?

There were about 20 people

at the reunion party.

Some of them haven't seen anyone from the class

since graduation

so we were all having a great time.

We drank a lot

I remember Ah Shui was

drunk that night.

We were all drunk.

Yes.

It was just a normal party,

nothing out of ordinary.

Do you remember anything else?

Dinan?

No.

Ok.

Last question.

All of you from the same dorm

had some kind of relation with

the Brahma recently.

Do you mind telling us why?

Ah Wen.

I'm tired.

Sorry, officer.

That's all for today.

It's not too late to come forward.

Zhaya,

time to have medicines.

Zhaya,

get some rest.

Dinan and I

will come visit you later.

When we were in high school,

Zhaya was constantly bullied by the other kids

because of her eye issue.

She is extremely sensitive

and gets nervous easily.

She was never a strong person physically.

Now since this incident happened,

she told me she didn't want to go home.

For her,

staying in a hospital is safer than staying at home.

Where are her family?

She doesn't have any family.

Her husband used to beat her.

She divorced him.

What’s her symptoms?

Nothing big,

just a little neurasthenia.

She will soon recover if she have some good rest.

Which one of you will pay for the fees?

I will.

Follow me please.

How did Ah Shui die?

She committed suicide by jumping off a building.

Suicide?

Dinan,

can you give me a ride?

Let's go get some drinks.

Wait up!

You need to tell us

what you know

so we can help.

Officer,

we've already told you everything we know,

what more do you want from us?

Mr. Detective

Do you want to come along?

Thanks for the invite,

but I don't want to bother the two of you catching up.

We don't mind.

We don't mind at all.

Maybe we will spill more,

if you come with us.

Spill what?

Are you aware of the situation?

You need protection,

not us.

What's the matter?

Are you jealous of me?

Being a woman?

We need our assets.

Jealousy won't help you.

Come on, Dinan.

Let's go.

Mr. Detective.

We are heading off now.

Lin Heiquan,

what did she mean?

What?

What assets

was she talking about?

Stop laughing.

Who do they think we are?

If I was the Brahma

I would have kicked their asses too

You seriously think this was the Brahma?

Who else can it be?

The textbooks didn't suggest it was someone else.

I think we can close the case.

They don't need us,

they need the Buddhist master and a psychologist.

The Buddha has four faces

so do humans.

Why were these four girls

the targets?

Although I did not kill Boren

Boren died because of me!

Finding the causes is more

important than the tricks themselves.

Boren.

Who is Boren?

Was he also killed by the Brahma?

Forget it.

Tell me,

who is Boren?

As a Chinese descendant,

shouldn't you

learn Chinese better?

What does this have to do with learning Chinese?

Who is Boren?

When did you find this?

About a week ago,

it was there

when I woke up that day.

I compared it already.

It's mine.

The landlord hired someone later to check

the plumbing system of the entire building

but no one could explain

where those beads

Hello.

He's with me.

Where are they?

Over there.

Didn't expect to see you again so soon.

So …

what happened?

We went to a random bar,

had a few drinks …

See you.

Be careful.

… then she said she would drive me home.

I'll get the car.

Who do you think will be next?

What?

Didn't Ah Shui commit suicide?

Who do you think will be next?

Don't overthink it.

We will be fine.

Are you seriously comforting me?

You are the one who got pushed onto the train tracks.

How do you explain

the incident that happened to me

and Zhaya!

Let's go find a Buddhist master.

The best one in Thailand.

Dinan,

slow down.

I didn't speed up.

Can't you feel that

the car is going faster and faster?

Dinan,

Stop the car.

Stop the car!

The brake is not working!

I have a couple of questions for her.

Can you wait until tomorrow?

We need to do a full body check on her.

I'll go with her.

Does it have to be this big of a scene?

Isn't this big enough？

Director.

Is there any progress?

Not yet.

Then close the case soon.

You can go to the temple and worship the Buddha,

and stop the nonsense

How do we explain this?

What's there to explain?

Everything.

Didn't Ah Wen

already clear everything up?

Sure.

But how do we explain this?

Why do you need more explaination?

Go home and sleep.

Let's hear what Dinan says tomorrow.

Keep talking.

Officer,

let me make it clear,

I'm the victim, not the criminal,

and all of you snoops.

Fine.

Dear Miss Dinan,

could you please carry on?

After that,

my car drove into the river.

The Brahma?

Are you sure you saw the Brahma?

Little sister,

why would I

lie to you?

Is there anything else?

The feeling I had when I was in the water

was the same as

the one I had when I was in my dream.

OK.

Last question:

Why?

Why the four girls from your dorm?

There is nothing we can do to help

if you don't tell us what's going on.

I'm sure you don't want anything like last night

to happen to you again.

Or explain to me

why the four faced Buddha?

Just tell them

there's no point in keeping it a secret.

The four of us

have been best friends

ever since high school.

Time flew so fast

over those three happy years.

We soon faced our first milestone

in our lives:

the college entrance exam.

One night,

Zhaya suddenly asked us,

which university we were considering applying for?

I want to apply for Bangkok University.

Ah Wen want to go to a different province.

What about you?

I also want to apply to Bangkok University.

Is there

any better options?

I'm planning

to go study abroad.

So,

we only have a few months left together.

You know what?

I won't go to another province,

It's no fun studying alone.

I'll stay here instead!

Let's apply for Bangkok University together!

Really?

That's great!

We can be together forever!

This way we can be together forever!

Exactly!

Ah Shui.

It's only you left.

Ah Shui.

You will be so lonely

if you go studying abroad on your own.

How about

you stay

with us?

Yes.

OK.

I will

talk to my parents tomorrow.

I'll tell them

I want to apply for Bangkok University, too.

Bangkok University!

Yeah!

Hooray!

Our grades were pretty similar,

so that night,

we made a pact that we would all apply for Bangkok University.

Dinan even suggested that we

go make a wish to the Buddha the second day.

May the Buddha bless us

so that we could all get into Bangkok University.

May the Buddha bless us and our family with health

contentment and happiness.

Everything you said sounded so positive.

What's the problem?

The problem was

that none of us got into Bangkok University.

None of us.

Was is that difficult?

A few weeks later,

all of us had typhoid fever

around the same time.

We missed the college entrance exam.

Who got it first?

It started with Ah Shui.

We all thought it was just a cold,

but soon after,

we all got it.

The college entrance exam was

exactly when we were the most sick.

Mr. Detective,

isn't this the so-called,

"perfectly missed".

How is this related to the Brahma?

Be patient.

We are almost there.

It was one day after we recovered …

Dinan,

when did you start smoking?

What's the big deal?

I didn't get into any universities,

no one would care if I smoke.

What are we going to do?

Fate is so unfair to us.

But we did worship

the Brahma for good luck.

It doesn't matter if you are not blessing us.

Why are you treaing us this way?

Stop it, Dinan.

Why?

It's all because of you.

Stop it.

So you think

that was the cause behind all the incidents?

What else could it be?

Ah Shui was the first.

I should be the next.

Anything else you'd like to ask?

Hello, madam.

Hello, madam.

After all this,

what is your plan?

You

should ask our chief.

Shouldn't the police provide

us protection?

24-hour police protection.

This …

in your case,

It's even difficult to send out the police for one minute,

not to mention 24 hour protection.

I genuinely think

you shouldn't have come to the police.

You should go to the temple and find a Buddhist master.

Genuine my ass.

What genuinely?

The police are just a bunch of

slackers.

Will it satisfy you

if Ah Wen and I die,

just like Ah Shui?

That'e enough, Dinan.

How about this,

we will have an internal meeting

to discuss how we can solve this case.

We will notify you once we have a result.

Alright.

We will wait here.

Here is the report.

The brake in Dinan's car works fine.

Even though the car is old,

it drives fine.

It has to be a ghost.

Sasha,

what do you think of this case?

We would like to keep investigating.

What's there to investigate?

One is obviously suicide,

the other two

are haunted by the ghost.

More like haunted by demons.

Yes, yes, yes,

haunted by demons.

There are still strange things we don't know about the cases.

Strange things.

There is nothing strange,

nothing strange.

You can handle human criminals.

Are you able to handle

if the criminal is a demon?

You …

do you

remember the news from a few years ago?

This arrogant and ignorant

rascal

blew up the chin

of the Buddha.

He was found dead in his home.

When the police

went to arrest him the day after,

his chin was all rotten

and was covered

with maggots.

Now that you said it, I remember something else.

Lao Li who sells fruits,

the one who plays cards.

He didn't know the customs

when he first came to Thailand,

he was taking a lot of photos

of the Buddha with his phone.

That same night

his phone exploded.

His house was on fire.

Enough!

Three days.

I'll give you three more days!

If you can't solve the case,

close it!

Sorry for making you wait,

we have gone over the case and have come to the conclusion.

We suggest you to perform religious rites

and to ask for forgiveness from the Buddha as soon as possible.

Is that your internal meeting

conclusion?

Yes, yes, yes.

Your case

is too complicated.

It's beyond our capability.

What about the next few days?

What are we supposed to do?

We will do our best.

Do your best?

Are you going to call the ambulance for me

when something happens again?

Please call 1691

for an ambulance.

Thank you.

Ah Wen,

you forgot your bag.

Miss Dinan, don't be mad.

Your case

is out of our hands.

Let us walk you out.

Ah Wen,

did you find anything?

We perform religious rites for them tomorrow.

Our police station will pay for the costs.

We are no longer investigating this case.

It is closed.

It is reported that this incident and the one from several days ago…

According to the reliable source, this ceremony is related to the Shuiqing Suicides case.

All three women involved have had terrible experiences.

To seek forgiveness from the Brahma,

they have to perform the dance nakedly.

Who know what terrible things that they've done.

Don’t worry, Buddha won’t do any harm to the kind people,

Buddha only protects the good.

Let's have a worship too.

Hope they can return to their normal lives

after the religious rites.

Are you giving up on the case?

What else?

Do you still think

a human being is behind all this?

Are you still going to keep investigating?

Ah Shui's husband

is not here today.

Qin Jun?

Yes.

What does he have to do with this?

But should we attend

Ah Shui's funeral tomorrow?

Yes,

of course we should.

Where are we going now?

Let's go back to Luming High School to take another look.

Are you seriously going to keep investigating?

This case may be closed to all of you,

but it just started for me.

You still don't believe

the Brahma did it.

I already told you

the Buddha won't harm humans.

Only people can.

For those who believe in you,

you are always compassionate,

no matter what you want, you will succeed.

For those who desecrate you,

whether in the past or in the present,

they will get the punishment from you.
