Finish up
and go pick Wanchai up from school.
Don't keep him waiting.
Are you deaf?
Kaew!
When Hem is back,
I'll make his favorite
bamboo shoot and mushroom soup.
You're crazy. Hem's with his wife.
Go pick Wanchai up.
There you are.
You mixed up the regular rice sacks
with glutinous rice, you know that?
You're getting more careless
every damn day.
Kaew! Get up!
What did I just tell you?
Go pick Wanchai up!
Stop dawdling!
Do you get what I'm saying at all?
- But Hem...
- He's with his wife.
What's wrong?
It's Wan.
She got furious and fired me.
Said I was lazy.
So what now?
I
I want
to go home.
I want to see my mom.
I want to go back to her.
I'll drive you.
Maybe you want a little cash
before we go?
Is it scary?
It is.
Wanchai.
Hey, Kaew!
Let's go.
The swing was so much fun.
The teacher also praised me.
That crazy bitch
won't screw this up, right?
The plan wouldn't be this easy
without her.
Excuse me, miss?
Oh, hello.
I'm here for Wanchai.
He already left a while ago.
With whom?
The help, I believe.

You made a ransom call to Wan.
Didn't you?
I'll file an appeal and ask for mercy.
But I didn't do it. I was wronged.
- I just...
- Then who did it?!
I helped Wanchai.
If you're confessing, tell me the truth.
It wasn't me.
Then tell me who did it!
Please, Hem, listen to me. I don't know.
It wasn't me.
Then who did?
It wasn't me! I didn't do it!
I didn't kill him!
Hear me out, Hem.
Let me go!
You! No! Wait!
No! No!
Kaew, help!
Where are you taking him, Pin?
- Wanchai!
- Kaew!
Let me go! He's my nephew! Give him back!
Shut up. This way.
- Shut up.
- Kaew, help!
Damn!
Kaew, help me!
Shut up. Find something to shut him up.
Or the cops will swarm this place.
Wanchai!
Wanchai!
- Wanchai?
- Kaew, help me!
Wanchai!
Kaew, help me!
Kaew, help me.
Wanchai.
Help!
Wanchai!
Kaew, help!
Shut up.
Kaew, help!
Help!
I said, shut up!
Wanchai.
Wanchai!

Wanchai
Wanchai!
You.
- Get up.
- I didn't do it.
- Get up.
- Why?
Let me go. Why are you doing this?
I didn't do this. Please, help Wanchai.
You have to help him.
Stop denying it. The evidence is clear.
It wasn't me!
We'll talk at the station!
I don't know anything.
Let go of the body.
- It wasn't me!
- Take her.
Let me go.
- Go.
- I didn't do it.
Wanchai!
It wasn't me.
The defendant claims her innocence.
However, the presence of the knife
and blood on her hands
provide compelling evidence
that she murdered the child.
No additional evidence has been found
to support her claim
of accomplices in the murder.
Accordingly,
this court finds the defendant
guilty of kidnapping for ransom
and premeditated murder of a child.
No. No, I didn't do it!
It wasn't me! I'm innocent!
I didn't kill him! I didn't!
The trial isn't over yet.
The defendant's heinous efforts
to conceal her crime
warrant the death penalty.
No! I didn't do it!
It wasn't me. I know nothing.
I didn't do it.
I didn't
It wasn't me!
- Shut up.
- Kaew, help me! Help!
Finish him already.
What are you waiting for?
Damn it.
Wanchai!
Wanchai.
Damn you. You lied to me.
You lied to me!
You
Catch you later, bitch.
Let's say she did it.
Death row inmate, Banyong.
Come on, move.
It's time. Can you get up on your own?
BLOCK 11
Kingkaew.
Yes?
Get dressed.
Yes.
Hem
You really came.
You're here for me.
Hello, everyone.
Today is January 13, 1979.
The execution is scheduled for today.
A woman was convicted
of kidnapping a child for ransom
and then brutally murdering the child.
The court has sentenced
Mrs. Kingkaew Larsoungnern to death.
That's today's report on crime.
Suffering arises
because we cling to something,
and it binds us
through our earthly desires.
When we break free,
the suffering will begin to ease.
And once we learn to let go,
it comes to an end.
Those who remain mindful at all times
will stay on the path
of the Buddha's teachings.
Let it all go.
When Hem is back,
I'll make his favorite
bamboo shoot and mushroom soup.

Is Hem here?
Who's there?
Mi?
Hey, what happened?
The windows just slammed shut.
You have a visitor at the gate.
Stay here.
Hello?
Yes.
Yes
Hem
Hem?
Hem?
Yes?
It's my dad.
Serm, you sure about this?
I'm just trapping her spirit.
My dad was an executioner.
He mastered the art of magic.
Help. Help me.
What is your relationship
to the deceased, sir?
That's my son.
Did he have any enemies
who could have done this, sir?
It was Kaew.
Pin?
Pin!
Pin!
Pin
What's wrong with your husband
that you had to call me here?
He had a fever two days ago, master.
He's acting crazy.
Master, please help him.
I'M INNOCENHold him down.
Do your worst.
Show me what you got.
Please, I'm scared.
Please
Begone!
Pin?
What did you do
to make the spirit target you?
You!
Kingkaew.
- Pin?
- Die, Kaew.
Nual?
Nual
Freeze!
Where is he?
He got away.
Are you sure?
"I'm innocent."
"I didn't do it."
What a mess.
I need a transfer.
A road accident occurred
around 8:00 p.m. last night.
A vehicle with license plate 1CH279
went off the road.
The deceased,
identified as Mr. Prayuth Mongkonchai,
was found inside the vehicle.
Hem didn't come with you?
No. He suddenly fell ill.
Som and I have something to report, miss.
I'm afraid everyone involved is in danger.
Mi
Help me.
Help
Miss?
Miss.
Kingkaew put a curse on him.
If a person dies
while a spirit targets them,
their soul gets trapped.
What do I need to do?
Hem
Hem
Hem
Hem, you're cruel.
You're cruel.
I'm curious.
Why did you choose to be
a public defender?
Well, Kaew,
after having helped all those convicts,
I can tell you
that death isn't the scary part.
What's truly frightening
is the abandonment of virtue.
Well, if everybody realized that,
no one would ever end up in prison.
We wouldn't even need lawyers anymore.
I would be out of a job then.
No.
Damn it, Kaew!
Make it stop!
Kaew
Move to Bangkok with me.
I have something for you.
Why'd you bring bamboo shoots?
I know you like
bamboo shoot and mushroom soup,
so I brought some along
so I can cook it for you.
When I'm close, why is your pulse so low?
Aren't you shy around me anymore?
My heart is right here.
There's always a place for you in it.
Kaew!
Stop it!
I'm sorry.
Kaew.
You're so cruel.
I'm meeting Mr. Yuth for dinner tonight.
I already have Kaew, you know.
I spent a fortune on you,
so at least find yourself the right match.
Kingkaew can't even read,
so why bother with her?
The girl I've found for you isn't bad.
She even studied overseas.
Just go meet her and see how it goes.
Put Kingkaew to work here, okay?
She'll get over you eventually.
You're so cruel, Hem.
Hem, have some breakfast, okay?
Kaew!
You should be on your way, Hem.
Sorry.
Hem?
What's going on?
You killed my father!
Hem!
Hem!
Som said that Kingkaew is targeting
everyone linked to her death.
That means
my sister is in danger too.
The only way to keep everyone safe
is to get rid of Kingkaew.
Uncle Som?
Kingkaew just haunted us
right in our home.
Hem has also been unwell since we got
my father's body from the hospital.
He's possessed.
We can't leave him like this.
Back off.
He's mine.
Back off!
Hem?
Som?
Are you all right?
I'm fine, miss.
What about those marks?
They usually appear
when I use my powers too much.
Is there some way we can deal with her?
She holds a heavy grudge.
I don't think the usual spells will work.
We have to burn everything she cherished
so she has nothing left to latch on to.
That will weaken her spirit.
And after that,
we purge her.
Thank you so much, Som.
I'll leave Hem in your care.
This is the bullet they used
to execute Kingkaew.
Pathom took it from the execution pole.
Whatever killed her will be her bane.
Keep it with you at all times.
I'll use the rest in the ritual.
Have faith in me, miss.
Every executioner knows spells
to empower their bullets
in order to fulfil their duty.
I'll perform an ancient executioner ritual
to make this bullet work
against humans and spirits.
Always keep this with you, okay?
Wan, did you burn everything?
No, not yet.
There is one place left.
I'm too scared to go there.
Where is it?
Use this gold and ring
for your engagement.
- But this ring...
- I had it fixed. Don't worry.
Who's the tenant in the burned room?
It was Kingkaew, sir.
Blast my luck.
I'm Kingkaew's employer.
May I look inside?
Are you sure?
Why?
Over there.
We haven't been able to open that room
since Kingkaew died.
It's like someone
is pushing against the door from inside.
Can you tell me who burned it down?
He only said that Kingkaew was after him.
So it's safe for me to go in?
Hurry up.
Go ahead, miss. We'll keep watch here.
How welcoming!
I think it's safe now.
- For her?
- I mean, for us.
Oh, right.
TILL THE END OF TIME
The past is the past.
Don't get your hopes up, bitch.
Now it's not safe.
I'm out.

I burned everything down.
Why am I still seeing you?
Is there anything of hers left?
You already burned everything.
Then why didn't it work?
Take that bitch up to my room.
Kingkaew, if I burn her,
will you let me go?
Get back here.
Wan?
Wan!
Wan!
Wan!
Open up!
Hem?
Mi.
What did Wan do to Kingkaew?
Why did she want to kill Wan?
You haven't told me everything, have you?
Hem?
After I married you
I heard from Wanlapa
that Kaew's treatment failed.
Her condition got worse, she lost control,
and she was scaring the customers away.
Wan just snapped one day
and kicked Kaew out of the house.
Come here!
Please stop!
Please!
You crazy bitch! Get up!
I'm going to see Hem!
- You're insane.
- Hem!
Just be normal for once!
You drove all my customers away!
Hem will never want you!
Nobody wants a nutcase like you!
You crazy bitch!
Stop it! I'm so sick of this!
She had her heart broken by you,
lost her mind, committed the crime,
and got executed?
Now that she's dead
she's taking her revenge.
And there's nothing we can do?
Mi.
Calm down, okay?
We will get rid of her.
Get rid of her?
What do you suggest we do?
We burned everything connected to her.
Wan's dead.
There's another dead body
in her house too.
And you're telling me to calm down?
Som.
I still can't find her treasured item.
Forget it.
We'll go to her.
- Is everything ready?
- Yes.
Over there.
BLOCK 11
Be careful. We're caught in her illusion.
We only have one chance.
Stop!
How would you feel
if your father sentenced you to death?
Mi?
No
Hem!
That's not me! I'm right here!
Hem, her spirit is in the ring.
Death isn't the scary part, Kaew.
What's truly frightening
Is the abandonment of virtue.
Isn't that right, Hem?
Why did you shoot me?
I'm innocent!
Do it, miss.
Shoot at my right side.
Hurry.
Go ahead, shoot me.
Miss, I've trapped her in my body.
- Shoot, miss.
- Do it.
Shoot.
The right side. Do it.
Shoot me. Shoot.
No!
Pathom?
You two should leave first.
- But...
- Don't worry.
I'll be fine. Leave it to me.
Make sure Mi is safe.
I will.
Let's go.
When we return tomorrow,
I want to make merit for Kingkaew.
Maybe
it will ease the guilt in my heart.

We will get rid of her.
Get rid of her?
What do you suggest we do?
We burned everything connected to her.
Wan's dead.
There's another dead body
in her house too.
And you're telling me to calm down?
Som.
I still can't find her treasured item.
Forget it.
We'll go to her.
- Is everything ready?
- Yes.
Over there.
BLOCK 11
Be careful. We're caught in her illusion.
We only have one chance.
Stop!
How would you feel
if your father sentenced you to death?
Mi?
No
Hem!
That's not me! I'm right here!
Hem, her spirit is in the ring.
Death isn't the scary part, Kaew.
What's truly frightening
Is the abandonment of virtue.
Isn't that right, Hem?
Why did you shoot me?
I'm innocent!
Do it, miss.
Shoot at my right side.
Hurry.
Go ahead, shoot me.
Miss, I've trapped her in my body.
- Shoot, miss.
- Do it.
Shoot.
The right side. Do it.
Shoot me. Shoot.
No!
Pathom?
You two should leave first.
- But...
- Don't worry.
I'll be fine. Leave it to me.
Make sure Mi is safe.
I will.
Let's go.
When we return tomorrow,
I want to make merit for Kingkaew.
Maybe
it will ease the guilt in my heart.
