THE MURDERER
[birds chirping]
[radio anchor] Good morning, everyone.
We begin today with news of a series
of gruesome murders
that took place in Roi Et last night.
The killing spree left seven people dead
at a farmhouse in Bung Klua district.
Most of the victims lived together
at the farmhouse.
They are Boonluck, head of the family.
Parsuree, his sister-in-law.
His son, Kai,
and his ex-son-in-law, Phet.
Kai's ex-wife, Tukta.
And her American husband, Charlie.
A police officer was also shot dead
at the scene.
The prime suspect
is Boonluck's son-in-law, Earl Cunningham,
a British national.
The police are currently
questioning eyewitnesses.
A MURDER OF SEVEN PEOPLE IN BUNG KLUA
The Chief of Provincial Police Region Four
has assigned the case
to the lead inspector
at Don Kratok Police Station.
He is Police Major Nawat Banluecha,
also known
as "The Hot-Headed Crime-Buster."
Well, don't make things difficult.
Sir,
I am telling you the truth.
What is it that you want me to say?
[woman]
I told you I was unconscious at that time.
MASS MURDER
BY MANIAC WHITE MAN IN-LAW LEFT 7 DEAD
Huh?
Oh. Hmm
[Nawat clears throat]
Now, don't be sad.
Everyone knows what happened that night.
And you're still very young.
You'll find a new husband.
No, sir. I do not want a new husband.
Your farang
is a murderer.
You know he's as guilty as sin.
You know it
as well as I do.
Tell me now that you know
he did it.
Sai,
you are the only eyewitness.
Just say your farang was the one.
And that'll be it.
He goes to jail, and then it's done!
I know that Earl
didn't do it, though, sir.
[light comical music]
What are you doing, you idiot?
She's crying,
so give it to her!
You're such an idiot.
Hey! Give me a shirt!
[door opens, closes]
Watch this.
What is it?
[Kitty] Hello, and welcome to Kitty News,
bringing you the latest update
on the case of the farang killer.
I'm here now at the crime scene.
We spoke to a hermetic wanderer,
one Attiyaso Yoda,
who took a look at the scene.
Let's hear his thoughts on the case.
In the land of America, 20 years ago,
a strange thing happened.
A serial killer
was fatally wounded by the police.
Before he died,
he cast some voodoo
to transfer his spirit
inside a doll.
The doll then possessed the farang
waiting for the moment to kill.
And now he has!
[laughs]
[sighs]
[Sai] It's like that film Chucky.
Have you ever seen that movie?
Yeah.
Scary.
That mad, possessed doll.
Ran off to people, and stab, stab, stab!
Oh, it was scary!
Hey!
Enough of this!
Don't distract me now, you hear?
Tell me what happened
when you got back here with your farang.
And don't lie.
I remember hearing on the news
that a looming storm was about to hit.
A more violent and destructive storm
than anyone can remember.
[thunder rumbling]
[Sai] And it was about
to hit the Isan region.
[reporter on radio]
The Meteorological Department
has issued the 11th emergency notification
about the most disastrous
tropical depression in 20 years.
It lies 190 kilometers
away from the west of Vietnam,
with wind speed reaching as high
as 50 kilometers per hour.
The storm is expected to enter
the Northeast region of Thailand
at midnight.
It is advised--
-[Sai sighs]
-Hmm?
Mm. Good.
[chuckles]
Do you want to stop for a rest?
No, I want to get there quickly.
The storm is coming.
[Earl] Mm. You're right.
We should hurry.
I'm excited to see June again.
Me too.
Do you think she'll like our gift?
She's going to love it.
There's something I haven't told you.
Kai's ex-wife, Tukta,
she's trying to take back June.
They're fighting in court now.
Tukta?
A few months ago,
Tukta moved back to our village
with her American husband and his kid.
She's telling the court that
they can give June a better life.
But this Tukta woman
doesn't even know June.
Since I left home,
June is stuck with my parents.
And Kai is
[sighs]
He's just really horrible.
June deserves better.
THE ARRIVAL OF THE WHITE MAN IN-LAW
[folk music]
[metal clanks]
Hello, Papa.
Tell me why
you bought all this stuff then.
Well, Earl wants to board up the house
in good time before the storm gets here.
So we'll be safe and not scared
like before.
But what is there to be scared of, girl?
I've seen storms since I was a kid.
Your farang husband, he doesn't know shit.
Just give it a rest, will you?
It's good to see you.
[rooster crows]
Dad, where's June then?
She's at the market.
She won't be long.
Mm.
[rock music]
[music stops]
[Boonluck] Mm.
Where's June?
It's none of your business where she is.
Just tell me, Sai.
A storm is coming this way, you know?
I'm taking her to stay with Jamie.
You know that my house
will be way safer for her.
June's perfectly safe here.
But she's really not.
What's that? Are you building an arc
to escape the storm or what?
[laughs]
You know, my pa used to build boats.
[chuckles]
I could always give you a hand.
[Earl] Thanks, but, uh
I'm not building sailboats,
I'm just going to board up the windows.
By the way, I'm Earl.
Charlie. Ha.
-American?
-Yeah. Are you a Brit?
[Earl] Mm-hmm.
Oh. Sai,
so won't you gonna introduce
your husband to me?
-I'm waiting.
-Dream on.
I don't want you to sink
your dirty claws into him.
And why is that? You're not jealous.
It's really not my fault, you know.
That so many men
can't keep their hands off.
But it is all your fault, though,
that June grew up without a mom.
Come on, you know I had to work.
And Kai, your awful brother,
he's too thick to raise her.
Yeah, but you've never even cared
about your own daughter.
And you left her to do
that kind of work in Pattaya.
What's wrong with working in a bar?
What about you, then?
Yeah, you got your degree,
but at the of the day
But at the end of the day,
you're a lowly hotel clerk.
That means a farang to support her.
You're no better than me.
I don't need a man to support me like you.
And I can take care of June.
Now, you get out of here.
You'll see.
June's gonna come back
and stay with me, okay?
If you stand in the way,
then I will see you, Sai, in court!
Hey, Charlie! Let's go.
Uh, darling? My love?
-Uh
-What is it now?
Do you mind if I stay for a while
so I can give Earl a hand?
You know, darling, you know how much
I love construction work.
-Huh?
-It's okay. I'm fine.
-Really.
-I'm just trying to be a good neighbor.
I mean, unless you don't need the help?
No. No, no. Uh, I could use a hand.
Thanks.
Suit yourself. Ugh!
My husband's such a moron.
-[car door closes]
-[car engine starts]
THE SUSPECHey, farang!
So do you still refuse to admit it? Huh?
Hey!
You know? You know?
Hmm? Hmm?
Do you know how I got this scar here?
It'll make you quake!
Years ago,
a farang hippy like you
was high on meth,
took his wife hostage at knifepoint.
No one dared go near him.
But I did!
Stop!
You farang. Police!
Police, my lily-white arse.
-Farang, drop it.
-Go to hell!
-Drop it!
-Kiss my ass!
-Drop it!
-Suck my dick!
-Drop it!
-Fuck you!
[suspenseful music]
[woman screaming]
You see?
That's why I hate farangs like you,
most of all!
You lazy fuckers only think
about sex, booze, and drugs!
Joi!
Since he won't talk,
show him now
what will happen to him!
[comical music]
[chokes, thuds]
Farang!
It's time for you
to tell me the truth now!
Okay. Okay. Please don't do that.
I'll tell you everything.
The whole truth.
[whirring]
I love Thailand, man.
You know?
-The Thai food
-[Earl chuckles]
The weather.
I am not so sure about the people, though.
[laughs]
You know what I mean?
[Charlie] Oh.
Uh, you know,
I'm crazy about Muay Thai too.
-Huh?
-Yeah. Hey! Check out my new tattoo.
THAI COCK
Muay Thai. Yeah.
Pretty cool, huh?
[laughs]
[awkward chuckle]
[drilling]
So, how long have you
and the missus been together?
[Earl] Well, uh, we met through work.
You managed a bar?
[laughs]
Gosh, no.
Uh, Sai works in marketing
at a hotel booking website.
I was the IT guy.
How did you guys meet?
Yeah, we met in a bar.
She was working, not me.
[laughs]
[Earl] Nice.
Yeah, uh You know
Tukta might be a little prickly
around the edges
[drilling]
but she's a good wife.
You know, she takes care of the kid.
She feeds me.
What else could a guy ask for, right?
I just wish she came with a mute button.
You know what I mean?
Like, she's always hustling me.
You get that too, right?
-Hustling?
-Yeah.
In the West, we have social security.
Here, they have farangs.
[Earl chuckles]
BUT NO ONE CAN ESCAPE DEATH
-[drilling]
-[distant pounding]
[sighs]
Hiya! Why on earth
are you making such racket, then, huh?
You white asshole.
[Par humming]
-[clanks]
-Oi!
[pounding]
Ugh! That Tukta, she's got a lot of nerve.
Coming round here to start on you.
Just because her husband
built her a house,
she thinks she's a queen.
Well, of course, she does.
Well, what about you?
Will your husband build you one, Sai?
Oiya. He's not that rich, Auntie Par.
He's not a bank.
I can't squeeze money out of him
whenever I want to.
Well, then, you picked badly.
You chose a penniless white guy.
Listen, Sai, I'm telling you,
these farangs only come here
to marry Isan girls
because they want us to take care of them
when they are gray and old.
They're just looking for a wife
to mop their piss and shit
when they can no longer get out of bed.
It's just the way it is, girl.
Uh, Sai, I forgot to say
that your ex is coming around tonight.
Hmm?
Phet is coming around to our house?
What's wrong with that?
But Phet is your brother's friend,
isn't he?
[scoffs]
Sounds about right.
Losers always stick together,
don't they, huh?
Oi, that farang you married
is no better man than Phet,
you got that?
Don't be such a snob.
Think about it.
The only reason he married one of us
was 'cause he couldn't find a farang girl
who wanted to take him.
Anyway, Sai, is it true
about what they say
about those farangs?
That their penises are really very big?
Enormous?
Shut up, Par!
[Par laughing]
Yum. Yum.
-[laughing continues]
-[sighs]
THE GIRL
[comical music]
You're frightened, aren't you, yeah?
It's 'cause of my scar,
it scares you, doesn't it, girl?
But don't be scared, no.
I'll tell you a little secret now
of how I got it.
Do you want to know that?
[sighs]
Do you like dung beetles?
When I was a boy, I hated them.
Whenever I saw one,
I crushed it to death.
And one day,
I went out into the rice fields.
I was your age.
To help my mother harvest the rice.
[folk country music]
[gasps]
The dung beetle died instantly.
-[gasps]
-[both laugh]
Served him right.
You really shouldn't have messed with me!
All right, that's it.
And now that I've told you
my little secret,
it's only fair that you now tell me
your little secret.
[laughs]
That day,
you took a trip to the market.
Yeah, that's right.
I went to the market that day.
And when you came back,
you saw the farang
fight with your grandparents?
It wasn't like that. It was my Grandpa.
He was ever so grumpy.
[June] He was swearing at everyone.
I didn't know what had happened,
but he was so bad-tempered.
Everything made him cross.
Why don't my plants grow?
Oh, why is it so hard?
Nothing to harvest at all.
Hey, June!
What the blooming hell
is taking you so long?
Well, you didn't give me money
for the bus,
so I had to walk there.
And that's why I've been gone so long.
Enough now!
Shut up, you hear?
Give the food to your gran!
Can't you see a storm is on the way?
And tell your farang uncle
not to ruin my house.
[Boonluck] Jeez.
Aren't you all curious
about what he's doing?
He might be planning to lock us
all up inside.
You farang prick.
I know what you're up to!
You're plotting against us all!
-That's what you're doing.
-[sighs]
And, uh, how about work?
I grow ganja and shrooms
on the rice paddy.
Ganja and shrooms?
Yeah, marijuana and magic mushrooms.
Do you want some?
[awkward chuckle]
You should come over.
I'll pick you some fresh stuff.
And I'll make you
my specialty shroom shake.
You're going to trip balls, man.
Yeah.
Mmm.
[laughing]
Bang your woman and you might see
four titties instead of two.
-[Charlie laughing]
-[fake laugh]
Hi, June!
Do you need a hand?
Hey. How are you doing, little angel, huh?
Huh?
Ma?
How is June doing now?
She's doing very well,
'cause I'm the one who feeds her.
She's their child, but I gotta raise her.
Hey! Don't say things like that, okay?
[gasps]
June!
Aunt Sai!
-Mmm.
-Hey!
Oh, June!
Why did you dump the food there, huh?
We need that for our dinner.
Go pick it up!
So when did you get here then?
-[Boonluck's wife scoffs]
-I only just got here.
So how are you? It's been so long.
[sighs]
I remembered how annoying they are.
Sai, tell me, are you going to take me
to live with you in Bangkok?
Oh, June, it won't be long.
I have to talk about it with your dad.
Oh, Earl and I have got a nice,
little present to give to you.
You want it?
Can I have it now, Sai?
We'll give it to you after dinner, okay?
[Boonluck] June!
Where the devil are you?
I told you to take the laundry inside!
Why haven't you done it?
You never listen to me!
Oi! Can't you take it easy?
[Boonluck's wife]
You'll have a heart attack at this rate!
June isn't your maid, you know,
she's your granddaughter!
June,
I'll help you with the laundry,
then we'll go for a ride, okay?
Yeah.
[upbeat music]
You like that, do you?
When I was a kid,
I could eat those chews all day long.
I bought them whenever I could.
And you know what?
They'd often try to con me.
They just wrap the paper
with nothing inside.
I got angry every time
I unwrap nothing but paper.
'Cause I hate it when people lie.
Do you get me?
What happened then?
Aunt Sai took me to see my friend Jamie
in her car.
"Jamie"? What?
Don't tell me this Jamie
is another farang.
[June] Jamie is Charlie's son.
Charlie is my mommy's new husband.
[Sai] Can you and Jamie
understand each other?
[June] Well, sort of.
He knows a few words to get by.
I have no friends at school
and Jamie hasn't either.
So we become close friends
with each other.
[car revving]
[sighs]
I don't think my car
will get up that hill.
[Sai] Can you walk up?
Go, play with your friend.
Don't be too long, though,
'cause there's a big storm coming.
'Kay.
-Jamie!
-Hey, June!
-[Jamie] Will you fly kite with me?
-[June] Yes! Let's go!
[Jamie] Over here is a nice place.
[Nawat] How's your shoulder, ma'am?
-Let me see.
-Oh.
Oh, okay.
You in a lot of pain?
It's agony.
[groans]
I just want to die now.
You'll get well soon. It's not serious.
Why won't you let me die?
[gasping]
Boonluck is dead now.
Who am I going to live with?
Hmm
You can die later.
But I need your help, yeah?
Let's put that asshole in jail, all right?
Your daughter is useless. She really is.
Yeah. Don't you believe a word
that she's said.
My daughter supports that farang
in everything.
You won't hear a bad word said about him.
[Boonluck's wife shudders]
THE FORTUNE-TELLER'S PREDICTION
[Boonluck's wife] Sai, you're still young.
Why don't you see if you can find yourself
a rich man who can make you happy?
Don't waste your time
on this lousy farang, you hear, hmm?
Remember what the fortune-teller
from Maha Sarakham prophesied?
Hmm? Think on it.
What on earth are you going on about?
I've got no idea.
Oh?
The fortune-teller said
that you'd become a widow
when you turn 30.
And now you're 29, aren't you?
Hmm? Don't tell me you've forgotten.
[sighs]
That's such a load of old nonsense.
Hey! It's not a load of nonsense, Sai!
Listen to me.
Pretty soon now, you'll become
a parched-pussy widow like me!
[sighs]
You do what you want, though.
If anything happens to your farang,
don't come crying to me, okay?
[Par] Too right.
How long did you plan to keep on hiding
the prediction, huh?
You're withholding evidence
from a police officer!
Are you mad or what?
How can a fortune-teller's prediction
be used as evidence?
Ugh! This is crazy!
I think that your farang
got an idea
from what the fortune-teller told you!
Here.
What's this?
Take a look.
Did you not know
that your farang
took out insurance for you?
And when you die,
he'll become filthy rich.
He never told me he took this out.
You're naive then.
How well do you really know him, huh?
[Nawat] Hmm?
That farang had planned every detail.
And your family found him out,
so he had to dispose of every one of them.
Earl is really not like that!
So then spit it out.
What really happened that night?
Convince me then!
That the two of you
weren't conspiring together!
That night,
all of us were having an evening meal.
[thunder rumbling]
[Sai] But it was really awkward
because Earl was there
and so was Phet, my ex-husband.
It was very uncomfortable.
Hey, Kai.
So, what's the farang's name again?
Er.
"Er"?
What kind of name is Er?
Uh, I've no idea.
Everyone calls him "Er."
Are you sure?
Maybe you got it wrong.
Why don't you ask him yourself then?
Sai
what's your friend's name?
[sighs]
It's Earl.
[laughing]
So I was right then. His name's "Er."
Er.
[laughing continues]
[Phet whispers]
Such a stupid name.
This soup's out of this world.
Jan! Go get me some more.
-Mmm. So tasty.
-Perfect.
[Phet] Nice and spicy.
Need to get the recipe.
[Kai] Are you full?
[Boonluck moaning]
[Boonluck] Eat it all up.
Mmm. Mmm. I love it.
-[Boonluck] Mmm.
-[Jan] Let me drink it up.
-[indistinct chattering]
-[slurping]
-[Boonluck] So good. Mmm.
-[Kai] You're right, Dad.
[Phet] So spicy. It's refreshing.
So damn good.
[Par] Oi, get off my food.
[Kai] Mm. Mm. I got a big one here.
[Boonluck] Let me see.
[Kai] Here. Leave bones right here.
[slurping]
[Boonluck] Hey!
-Be careful.
-Go easy.
[Kai] I can't get enough.
[Par] Go on, take a big bite.
[Jan] Mmm. So good.
[slurping]
[Kai] It's delicious. Mmm.
I could eat this forever.
[slurping, munching]
[Phet] Special. So special.
[Kai moans]
It's so good.
[Boonluck] You got the chili, just right.
-There we go.
-[Kai] So spicy.
[indistinct chatter]
BUT NO ONE CAN ESCAPE DEATH
[both sigh]
Is everything all right?
Yeah.
Sometimes, I can't believe
that this is my family.
Do you think I've become too farang?
[scoffs]
I don't know what you mean by farang,
but it definitely doesn't mean civilized.
You should have heard the stuff
coming out of Charlie's mouth today.
What? What did he say?
Some really ignorant shit.
I don't know why he married a Thai woman
if that's what he thinks
about Thai people.
[Sai sighs]
It's not just him.
My mother and auntie are just as bad.
[knocking on door]
Who's there?
[June] It's me, June.
Come on in, then.
Hey, hey, hey.
I'm so sorry.
I never did give you your present, did I?
I hope you like it.
[gasps]
[Sai chuckles]
How do you know
that I wanted a mobile phone?
[Sai] Hmm
Ah, well, all of your friends
have them, don't they?
They all do.
I was the only one in my class
who didn't have one.
[Sai chuckles]
[Earl chuckles]
Thank you, Uncle Earl.
You're welcome.
Hey, come on, I'll show you
-Oh.
-how to use the camera.
[imitates clicking]
-[Earl] Mm-hmm.
-Ah.
That opens
-Oh! Hello!
-Ah.
[Earl] opens the camera.
Now, you can take videos like a movie
-if you press that.
-Oh. A video?
Video! Very good. Yeah.
First thing tomorrow, I'll show it
to all my friends at school.
Uh, bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
[door closes]
That's very kind.
Thank you, Uncle Earl.
[both chuckle]
[romantic music]
[Kai] You know that song, don't you?
[Phet] No.
What are we talking about? What song?
[Kai singing in Thai]
A man with no looks can't stay
Even a monk tells him to go away
[purring]
[in English]
A real pain, those two.
Ignore them.
[Kai] Hey!
[Kai laughing]
[Kai] You don't know this song?
[Kai singing in Thai]
A gun with no bullets can't kill a man
A fiddle with no strings
Can't join a band
A man with no looks can't stay
-Even a monk tells him to go away
-[in English] Okay. I will go down
and say they need to stop.
[Kai and Phet purring, harmonizing]
Okay.
[Kai groaning]
-[Phet] What's going on?
-[Kai] The power's out.
Ugh! Ugh!
[Phet] I think a storm
really is coming tomorrow.
Must be a power outage.
Maybe the storm.
-Yeah.
-[Kai and Phet clamor]
-Sai, you stay here.
-[Kai] Go get a torch.
I'll go down and check it out.
I don't think that's a good idea.
Let me go.
Stay right there.
[Kai] Yeah. Where is it?
It's over there?
[in hoarse voice]
I'll be back.
[both chuckle]
[Sai] Hold on, Inspector.
Look here.
My husband didn't sign it.
He's not the beneficiary.
This means the policy isn't at all legal.
Someone has set up Earl!
Don't pull the other one.
You're covering up for him.
He's your farang!
I know it.
You were conspiring with him
from the start.
You were!
And why would I ever do
something like that?
And who'd kill their own parents, huh?
And what would I get?
It's impossible!
It's not impossible.
Think it through.
That night, the farang came down,
and ran into your brother and ex-husband.
[suspenseful music]
-[gasps]
-Shut up!
-[Earl] Both of you!
-Wha
-[gasps]
-Just calm down.
-I am trying to fuck
-[Kai] We haven't done anything.
-your ex-wife
-[Kai] What's wrong with you?
-and your sister!
-Hey, calm down.
-Calm down!
-[Phet] Please, take it easy.
[Nawat] He then came right at them.
They tried to fend them off,
but the farang was too strong.
[screaming]
[Nawat] "No! Don't! Don't hurt me!"
"No. No. No, no!"
[screaming]
That's how it was.
Who told you this dumb story?
You talk as if you're actually there.
-[knocking on door]
-Come in.
[comical music]
What's this then?
The best you could do, hmm?
I'm sorry, sir.
It's the only one I can find.
[shudders]
Get out of here! Now!
[door opens, closes]
So then talk.
I heard Phet and Kai screaming outside.
-[Kai] Don't do it. Calm down.
-[distant pounding]
Er! Help!
[Boonluck] The farang has gone mental!
-[Kai] Stop! Stop!
-[Boonluck] Run! Just run!
-[Kai] Calm down. Don't do it.
-[Sai] I heard my father screaming too.
[Kai] Help!
No! No! No!
[Sai] But soon after,
I heard Kai leaving in his pickup truck.
[engine revving]
[Sai shrieks]
Earl!
What happened?
It was an accident.
-Oh, my God.
-I was trying to
-We're going to the hospital now.
-No. There's a storm. Just
grab a big towel.
I'll be fine.
There's a first aid kit
around here somewhere.
[Boonluck screaming]
THE BLOODY SHIRSo, at 8:00 p.m. that night,
you heard your grandpa screaming?
That's right.
[Boonluck screaming]
[Boonluck] You farang prick,
why did you kill my son?
Jan! Jan!
The farang has killed our beloved Kai!
[cries]
[Boonluck wailing]
Jan! The farang killed our beloved Kai!
Our Kai, my Kai is dead.
What's going on?
[gasps]
Ah! Whose blood is this?
[Boonluck] It's our boy's.
He just killed Kai and Phet.
I saw it with my own eyes.
-He struck their heads with a hammer.
-[Jan whimpers]
[Boonluck] There's blood everywhere!
-Wha Then, come. We have to tell Par.
-Hurry.
Par! Wake up!
Par!
[Jan shrieks]
Aah! What's the matter with you?
[gasping]
Have you really come back to me?
Hey! What are you doing?
I I heard my husband's voice.
Yes, Jan, my husband has come back.
He's come back as a ghost to haunt you!
Ya! No, he hasn't. It's that farang.
He's gonna kill us all!
Huh? But why on earth would he do that?
He's killed Kai and Phet already.
Now we got to go on Sai.
Wait a second.
Just think.
What happens if he gets in our way?
Then what do we do?
You're so right.
We need some protection.
We need to get a weapon.
[military music]
[dog barking]
[gecko chirps]
[Par gasps]
[all gasp]
[screaming]
What? What's going on?
-[Par scoffs]
-[Jan grunts]
Your farang husband
killed Kai and Phet in cold blood.
Huh?
Why would you say something like that?
Look!
Hey, that's Earl's shirt.
He just had a little accident.
Sai, you have to believe me now, huh? Huh?
I told you that
that fortune-teller was telling the truth!
Ma!
I'm telling you, your husband
killed Kai, your brother!
Go outside and take a look.
Okay. Where's the body then?
There, outside,
covered in blood.
Have a look!
Oh, really? Take me and show me then.
Aunt Par, help me find the first aid kit.
I can't find it.
[Par sighs]
All right then.
[Sai] Okay, let's go.
See? I told you.
Earl was cut by some broken glass.
Oi, girl. You're calling me a liar?
Where are the bodies then?
And look, the truck is gone.
I think they've taken the truck
and headed off.
They're not dead!
How do you know? Maybe the farang took it.
No, I'm telling you, that's not true!
He's in my room right now.
Wait. Par! Par's upstairs!
We have to see if she's okay.
But she's upstairs alone.
What if your farang kills her too?
Could you please stop?
Why would Earl kill her, huh?
[all screaming]
[Jan] Par! Par!
THE FIRST BODY
[groans in disgust]
[high-pitched tinkle]
BLOOD UNDER THE FINGERNAILS
Forensic investigators are examining
the traces of blood
found under your aunt's fingernails.
I'm certain
they'll prove that that blood
belongs to your farang husband.
[Nawat] Look.
All right then.
Wanna know what I think?
[Nawat] That night,
your aunt was looking
for the first aid kit.
She wandered into your room.
The farang was lying in wait,
like a tiger waiting for its prey.
-[grunts]
-[screaming]
[Nawat] She tried to fight back,
but failed.
[choking]
[Nawat] She scratched his arm
with her fingernails.
[groans, heavy breathing]
[Nawat] He went berserk.
And he broke her neck.
[screams]
And then he threw her out the window
like a kid tossing a toy.
[body thuds]
[grunts]
We have strong evidence here.
This case will soon be solved.
If you have more to say,
tell me now.
I wanna see my husband.
-[gasps]
-No!
You're trying to get your story straight.
Do you think I'm that stupid?
Do you think I'm an idiot?
[Nawat] Huh?
Okay.
You want to play that game,
let's bring it on.
We'll get you.
You and your poor farang
Bang to rights!
I swear I know nothing. I have no idea.
I'll try and explain.
That night, my parents and I
were in shock,
so we rushed Aunt Par to the hospital.
Oi.
[in sarcastic tone]
Can you drive any slower?
I need to shit.
Ma, it's dark out there.
We gotta take it slowly.
I can hardly see anything.
[farting]
What was that?
[Boonluck gags]
[Boonluck] Damn you, you old hag!
I think I'm gonna throw up.
[Boonluck gagging]
It's in my mouth now, you old hag!
[Jan] It wasn't me.
So who was it then?
Why are you looking at me like that?
It wasn't me, all right?
[Sai coughs]
Hey, Par.
You're not dead, are you?
Is she still breathing, Ma?
She's still alive.
And I'm the one that can't breathe!
[Jan and Boonluck gag]
[engine revving]
-[Sai screaming]
-[man] Stop! Stop! Stop!
[bone cracks]
[Jan grunts, groans]
[Jan gasping]
Par! Hey, Par.
[whimpering]
Her neck is all twisted!
Her cheeks are all siken!
[man] I'm really sorry.
This road is closed right now.
We need to get to the hospital.
Someone's hurt back there.
Who? What happened to her?
My elderly aunt. She had a fall.
[Jan] Par. Par!
[sobbing]
[gagging]
It really stinks in there.
Smells like she's already dead.
Go! Turn back, okay?
And wait out the storm.
Huh? Seriously?
How can we do that when someone is dying?
I am just trying to do my job.
I can't let you through here.
Go home now and try again tomorrow.
[Nawat] I'm waiting for the DNA results
of the blood samples under her nails.
And if they match yours, know this,
you'll spend
the rest of your life in a Thai jail.
Do you know that inside
they despise people who kill old hags?
Especially farang like you.
No. Don't. No. You don't understand.
I didn't do anything to her.
I blacked out.
Then I came to
and
no one was there.
[grunting, breathing heavily]
[Earl] When I came out of the house,
there was no one around.
Everybody had gone.
[truck engine revving]
Oh, thank goodness.
Help me! Please, help me!
Help me!
I told you, he'd given you
the wrong change.
It was dark, I couldn't see.
Help me!
What did you put in my whiskey, huh?
Hmm, my head's gone.
Help me!
Help me!
-Whoo.
-You gotta get wasted,
or it's not worth it.
[laughs]
Help me! Help me! Somebody help me!
Stop!
[mud squelches]
[Kai and Phet laughing]
[Phet] That's sick!
[indistinct chatter]
-[Phet] Serves him right.
-[both laughing]
[thunder rumbles]
-[Phet] Glad we left him there.
-[Kai] Shut up now.
[Phet] Huh?
Oh, it's Sai.
[Boonluck] Kai?
See? There they are.
I told you they're not dead.
Oh, my Kai!
Oh, my Kai. You're alive! My beloved son.
You're not hurt, are you, my boy?
Why is he being so dramatic?
They hate each other's guts.
We were absolutely terrified
that the farang had murdered you both!
Who's "we"?
You were the only one who thought so.
Ow!
[Phet and Kai laughing]
What are you talking about?
Why did you think we were dead?
[sighs]
That farang's murdered Auntie Par.
Her body is in the car.
Huh?
[Kai] What are you telling me?
That farang murdered Par?
He could be coming here right now,
planning to kill us all one by one.
[sighs]
Dad, stop your nonsense, okay?
Who's going to kill who?
Earl's asleep inside.
Hey, Kai, go check on June.
And, Phet, get Aunt Par out of the car.
[grunts]
[Sai] Hey!
Earl's not here!
Dad? Ma?
What is it?
June's not She's not in her room.
I can't find her.
Oh, I can't believe it.
This isn't happening.
He must have killed June!
[whimpers]
No.
-[Jan] Not my grandchild.
-Now listen up.
We have to hunt down the farang.
I want you all to grab yourself a weapon.
He must be hiding out there.
Now, look, he can't be long gone.
Now, Kai, you take the truck
and go find June.
Go now!
Earl?
Earl?
Where are you?
[Sai] June? Are you here?
[Sai gasps]
Phet!
You scared me.
My bad, Sai.
I didn't mean to.
[laughs]
Where are you going, huh?
Stop it.
This isn't the time to fool around.
Out of my way.
[clicks tongue]
Sai.
I just want to talk to you.
About what?
We have nothing to talk about.
[sighs]
Can't you just give me one more chance?
One more?
I don't think so. Now let me go.
-I need to go find my husband.
-[grunts]
This time, tomorrow,
your husband farang will be dead, Sai.
The fortune-teller saw it all.
His time is over, Sai.
If he dies, I die with him.
Death is better than being with you.
Son of a bitch!
[Sai grunts]
Is that so?
Then I'll give you what you want.
[gagging]
[tense music]
-[Sai grunts]
-[Phet groans]
[groaning continues]
[Sai grunts]
[coughs]
[whimpering]
THE EX-HUSBAND
All right.
Now finally, at last,
you're being helpful.
What are you saying, then?
I'm saying that we're getting somewhere.
You've just given me a lead.
If you had told me earlier,
I'd have worked it out.
Your husband had a motive.
That is ridiculous!
Really?
The farang knew. He knew!
About you and Phet.
He knew about your plans
to get back together.
Believe me.
I will never get back
with that no-good waste of space.
Of course you won't now
because he's dead.
[grunts]
Take a look at this.
This.
This.
And this.
[Nawat] Look at 'em!
Look!
Of what you have done!
Can you explain why your fingerprints
are on these two guns?
You killed Phet because you were jealous.
You were jealous that your wife
was getting back with her ex.
Sai has already confessed to everything.
No.
You're lying!
You fooled them
into splitting up to find you.
And then you killed them in turn.
Did you?
And Phet was number one.
[maniacal laugh]
[Phet grunting, screaming]
[Nawat] After that, you found
Kai's gun in the car.
And then
you killed him.
[screaming]
You enjoyed it, didn't you?
Taking revenge and spilling blood.
And you know what?
I know what white pricks like you
are up to.
You pretend that you are rich
and con local girls into wedlock,
so that they can feed you.
And you pricks don't do shit,
but have sex, smoke weed, and do drugs.
I detest poor farangs like you!
You're worse than dung beetles
in buffalo shit!
I'll see your white ass in jail.
You hear? I will!
[sobbing]
[chuckles]
[traditional music]
POLICE CAMERA FOOTAGE
Play it from the start then.
[police] Bung Klua Police.
[Jan] Is this the police?
Please help us. He's going to kill us!
[police] What?
What did you say? Who's killing who?
[Jan] A farang
just killed my elder sister!
[police] Wait, where are you calling from?
[Jan] I'm calling
from Boonluck's farmhouse.
[police] Okay, Boonluck's farmhouse.
We're coming to you. I'm hanging up.
Let's see the clip from Lek's body camera.
[machine whirs]
[thunder rumbles]
[Lek] Is this Boonluck's farmhouse?
Is anybody here?
[suspenseful music]
[Charlie sighs]
Uh
Name? Your name.
How can I help you?
Uh, what's going on here, officer?
Uh, I'm sorry.
[gasping]
Oh!
Well, a woman reported a serious incident.
And I've come out here to investigate.
Like, how serious?
Well, there's been a murder.
[gasps]
What the hell?
[Lek] Yeah.
-[gasps]
-And I'm a bit lost.
Forgive me, but, uh,
I'm trying to find Boonluck's farmhouse.
It I know where it is.
-You do?
-Oh, yeah.
Tukta! Are you there?
[Tukta] What's with all the noise?
You don't have to shout, you know.
So annoying.
Good evening, officer. What's going on?
There was a a murder over at Boonluck's.
At Boonluck's house?
Wait. My daughter June
is spending the night there tonight.
Come on, I'll take you there.
She's not safe. Let's go, Charlie.
Come on, hurry!
So, which way is it now?
Oh. Keep going straight on down this road.
[tires screech]
[Lek] Who's that lying there?
[car door opens, closes]
[Tukta screams]
But this man is Kai. He's my ex.
[Tukta whimpering]
Is he dead?
[crows squawking]
[sputtering]
[Lek] No, no, no. No. Come on. Jeez.
[sighs]
[sputtering]
Come on now.
[sighs]
Stupid car.
This is our tax dollars at work.
[scoffs]
You two wait in the car.
Sit there. I'll be back.
[Lek] Lock the doors.
[thunder rumbles]
Lock. Lock it.
[Lek] Oh, no.
This is the way to Boonluck's farmhouse?
[Lek sighs]
Oh. What's that?
[suspenseful music]
[gasps]
[line ringing]
[Lek] Inspector? Major, sir?
[Nawat sighs]
What's up?
[Lek] There's been an incident
at Boonluck's farmhouse.
There are dead bodies everywhere.
[Nawat] Everywhere?
What do you mean? How many?
Two, sir.
As of now.
[Nawat] Can you handle it?
Yes, sir.
I can handle this.
[Nawat] Oh. Good. Now don't call me again.
I need to sleep--
What are you looking at?
Watch the video.
[Lek] Am I going the right way?
Didn't think it'd be this far.
-[Lek sighs]
-[footsteps]
[Lek gasps]
Shit!
What?
Is that it?
The camera broke.
What an idiot. I can't see a damn thing.
Go back! Go back! Go back! Rewind!
[Nawat] Further! Further! Further!
Wait. Stop. Stop. Stop.
[suspenseful music]
Mm.
You won't get away, farang.
[Sai] Earl.
What are we going to do?
What do you mean?
They're going to give you
the death penalty.
Surely they can't do that.
There has to be a trial.
I'll prove I'm innocent.
Can you?
What did you tell them?
You do believe I'm innocent, don't you?
Why didn't you tell me
about the insurance?
What?
I can't believe you did that.
Sai, I I don't know
what you're talking about.
[sighs]
I'm sorry, Earl.
[somber music]
I love you, but
[Earl] Sai.
Wait! Listen to me. Sai!
Sai!
Sai!
Please!
[in Thai]
Shut up. You're annoying.
[knocking on door]
[in English]
Come in.
POL. MAJOR NAWAT BANLUECHA
INSPECTOR (INQUIRY)
-Well?
-Inspector.
We've discovered new evidence
in the field.
What do you mean?
What evidence?
NEW EVIDENCE
Why didn't you tell me about this before?
I thought that I'd lost my phone.
Tell me what you saw,
and then we can end all this.
Come on. Chop, chop!
All right then.
I was there, and I saw everything.
"Everything"? Why didn't you say?
I thought no one would believe
that what I said was true.
All right then. Tell it all. Everything!
I want every detail. Understand?
That night,
when Aunt Sai and Uncle Earl
had given me my present,
I went outside to shoot a video.
[June] And then, I saw something.
[Boonluck] June! June!
Where are you?
I told you to clean the loo!
June!
Ugh. Hey, June!
[rustles]
Who's there?
[suspenseful music]
[screaming]
[June] I saw my Grandpa
-scream like a mad man.
-Don't take me,
ancestral guardian spirits.
Please spare me!
[June] After that, I saw my dad and Phet
talking together.
They looked very drunk.
[Phet] I got you that thing
-that you wanted.
-[June] I took a clip of them,
just for fun.
-[Kai] Hey
-[Phet] Here. Here you go.
-So cool.
-Yeah.
What is it, anyway? Hmm?
Insurance.
"Insurance"? What insurance?
Look, look, look. I got it.
-Hmm? What is it?
-Here.
Take a look here.
What?
The beneficiary is the farang.
And the insured is Sai.
Hmm
And so what's the difference between
between the beneficiary
and and the insured?
[Kai growling]
-[groans]
-You idiot.
-That hurts.
-It means that if the farang were to die,
Sai will inherit a million.
Whoa.
[Kai] Mm-hmm.
Although
[Kai clicking tongue]
The insurance agent said
that the farang has to sign it first.
Oh. So, how are you gonna make him
sign it then?
-I'm not quite sure yet.
-[Phet] Mm.
But I'll figure it out.
I can't think of an easy way.
If I can't think of something,
I'll use this.
Hey!
Kai!
-Don't play around with that.
-[laughing]
Put it away!
Someone will see.
Aw, you're such an idiot.
-Be serious.
-But look.
No bullets.
-Don't be such a pussy.
-Ah.
-Just put it away now, can you?
-[Kai laughing]
It's just like that song.
What song?
[sings in Thai]
A gun with no bullets can't kill a man
A fiddle with no strings
Can't join a band
A man with no looks can't stay
Even a monk tells him to go away
[both purring, harmonizing]
[tense music]
[Phet in English]
Oh, not again.
[Kai] Power cut.
[Phet]
Is the storm really coming tomorrow?
[June] A little while later,
I saw Uncle Earl come out of the house.
-Er? Huh?
-It's Er!
-[Phet and Kai laugh]
-Boys,
don't you think it's time
you ended the party for tonight?
Storm's coming.
[both] Uh, yeah. Yeah.
[laughing continues]
Yep, yep!
Good morning, teacher! You all shut up.
[both laugh]
Oh, wait. You
Your name. Your name
Your name, yeah?
-[Phet] What? His name?
-[Kai] Yes.
-[Phet] It's Er.
-I need to get the fuck out of here.
[Kai] Yeah, that's right. His name is Er.
-That's his name.
-[Phet] No. That's not his name.
[Kai] What's his name? What's his name?
I'm telling you, that's his name.
Wha Cut it Cut it out.
You know that, right? You know?
-Er is his name.
-Yeah, that's what I said. I know.
No. No, you didn't.
-What's he up to?
-Uh
[tense music]
-Hey. Easy. No.
-Hey. What? No!
Please, farang,
don't beat my head with that.
What? Stop. Don't do it.
-[Phet] Don't smash our heads in.
-[Kai] Please, don't hurt me! No!
-[both groaning]
-Oh, my head!
No! Oh.
Don't do it.
[thunder rumbles]
[Phet and Kai wailing]
[Kai] That's enough.
[grunts]
Please. Don't!
-Let me go. Please.
-[Phet] No, please.
The farang has gone mental!
Run away! Just run!
[screaming]
Hey, look.
[Boonluck] Run! Just run!
What on earth is wrong with your dad?
I haven't got a clue.
Oh, and
We're out of whiskey.
[Phet] Let's go to Noi's to get some more.
[Kai] Yeah. Let's go. Come on.
[engine revving]
[shatters]
[groans]
[tense traditional music]
[grunts]
[groaning]
[gasps]
[heavy breathing]
[groaning]
[heavy breathing]
-[Sai] Where's the body?
-[June] After that
[Boonluck] There, outside,
-covered in blood.
-they started shouting and arguing.
-[Boonluck] Have a look!
-[June] I heard them from the stairs.
-[Sai] Take me and show me then.
-[June] I began filming them.
[Sai] Aunt Par, help me find
the first aid kit. I can't find it.
All right then.
[suspenseful music]
[Par] Where is it?
It's so dark. I can't see anything.
Maybe it's in here.
Ah.
It's the farang's wallet.
[Boonluck] Oi, girl!
You're calling me a liar?
[Sai] Where are they then?
See? The truck is gone.
I think they've taken the truck
and headed off.
They're not dead.
[Jan] How'd you know it wasn't the farang
who took the truck?
[sobbing]
Love?
Have you come back?
[gasps]
Lo Love!
Hey, Par. You whore!
-No. No, no.
-[Par's husband] You cheated on me.
-No, don't do this. I love you
-[Par's husband] You left me to die!
with all of my heart!
I will kill you!
[screaming]
[all screaming]
[heavy breathing]
THE SECOND TO SEVENTH VICTIMS
Just you wait. If I see that farang,
I'll kill him as if he were a mangy dog.
[Phet groaning]
What's wrong with you? Do your nuts hurt?
Your sister's got a good right foot.
[Phet groaning]
[laughing]
Hey.
What was that?
[Kai] Are those legs?
[Phet] Hey. Hey, hey, hey! Stop!
Break, break, break! Hey!
We almost ran into the ditch.
[Kai] Let's go see.
The farang!
Yeah, I was wondering where he got to.
-Whoo!
-What the hell is he doing down there?
What do you think we should do?
I've an idea.
You stay here and keep a lookout.
I'll go get a rope to tie him up.
Watch him, yeah?
Don't let him go anywhere.
-Yeah, okay, be quick.
-I've got you now, farang!
[Kai laughing]
[eerie music]
[chuckles]
You twat.
With you gone,
know this, farang, Sai will be mine again!
[maniacal laugh]
Hey. Hey!
[grunting]
[grunting continues]
[screams]
[screaming in pain]
[grunts]
Oh, shit.
Shit.
Shit.
Phet, are you okay?
[grunting]
You fat fucking sod
What the fuck do you need that for?
Help!
Somebody, help!
Help!
Help! Somebody, help!
Help!
There you are.
[laughs]
Finally got you, you farang freak.
Phet! Phet!
Where are you?
I got the farang right here.
Phet Phet is under the truck.
Huh?
Did you kill him, huh?
Oh, no, no, no! Kai Kai, you
Oh, you Uh
[pants]
You know I'm not like that.
Farang, I will kill you!
-[grunting]
-Stop!
Ah, so,
you're going to shoot me
with my own gun, huh?
-Huh?
-[Earl shrieks]
-[Kai grunting]
-[Earl breathing heavily]
[screaming]
[both grunting]
[traditional upbeat music]
[laughs]
[grunting]
[Earl grunts, breathing heavily]
No, no, no!
[panting]
[grunts, growls]
[laughs]
[breathing heavily]
Farang, you're such a prick!
There are no bullets in here!
[gasps]
[body thuds]
Fuck.
Fuck!
Fuck!
[screaming]
[screaming continues]
Kai? You stupid asshole.
You can't get drunk
and leave a car like this.
[grunts]
So irresponsible.
I can't trust you with anything, can I?
I'm sick of you!
Look. You even left the key here.
[car engine starts]
Lucky for you, no one has stolen it.
[upbeat folk music]
[revving]
[music stops]
[suspenseful music]
-[Jan shrieks]
-[gasps, groans]
Ooh, you cow. Why did you do that?
-Oh.
-[groaning continues]
I thought you might be the farang.
Do you know if Kai and Phet
come back here yet?
They're not back.
There's no one here. It's just me.
But I've already called the police.
-Oh.
-I don't know what time
they're gonna get here.
Darling?
[Charlie sighs]
Do you think
that cop's forgotten about us, hon?
He's only been gone
for about ten minutes, or so.
Such a pussy
It feels like an hour.
What? No way it's only ten minutes.
I'm so hungry.
[gasps]
Darling
you know what I'm thinking?
[Charlie laughing]
Man.
He might have hidden
some snacks in the car.
-Oi!
-[groans]
You're so stupid.
I'm talking about the gun.
But but we can't eat a gun.
Oh, oh, oh. Yeah.
-The gun. The gun.
-Why did I marry such an idiot?
[suspenseful music]
[thunder rumbles]
[thunder rumbling]
What will we do if the farang comes here?
[sighs]
No. Don't say things like that.
I'm scared.
[door creaking]
[water running]
[Jan breathing heavily]
[eerie music]
-[mutters]
-You hag.
Don't scare me like that.
[Boonluck] He's covered in blood.
I've got an idea.
We need to trick and coax him out.
You start moaning.
And when he comes out,
I'll stab him, yeah?
-[Jan] Help.
-[gasps]
[Jan] Help me.
Please.
Help me.
Help.
Please, help me.
[suspenseful music]
[music intensifies]
[music stops]
[sighs]
-Hey.
-[screams, grunts]
[Charlie screaming]
Fuck of a pain.
[grunting]
[thuds]
Oh, what do we do?
[gasps]
[both gasp]
[breathing heavily]
[Tukta screaming]
Why have you killed Charlie?
-[panting]
-[Tukta whimpering]
I'll tell the police
to put you both in jail!
[shattering]
[Tukta wailing]
Charlie! Huh?
-[grunts]
-[screams]
-[screaming]
-[grunts]
[groans]
[shattering]
[thuds]
[Earl grunts]
[panting]
[tense folk music]
[both gasp]
[Lek] Shit!
[Earl panting]
Hey!
Oi. You!
Stop.
-Please, don't hurt me.
-Stop!
-Please, help me.
-Stay still!
Help me. These people are
-crazy.
-Hold still.
[panting]
Shut up.
[groans]
Please don't do that.
I promise, I did nothing.
-Let me go.
-Don't move. Be quiet!
Stand up.
Stand up!
Go.
Go!
I said, "Go!"
[Jan and Boonluck grunting]
[Boonluck grunts]
[Sai] Dad, Mom!
What happened to Tukta?
Uh Oh, Sai, where have you been?
I've been looking for June.
And I can't find her anywhere, Ma.
[Sai] What happened to Tukta?
What's with all this blood?
She tripped and then she fell.
She fell straight onto my garden fork.
And what was she doing here?
I don't know!
She and Charlie, they showed up suddenly
just out of nowhere!
-Charlie, too? Where is he?
-[Jan] Mm.
[grunts]
[Jan] Sai
We're screwed.
[Sai screams]
Pull yourself together.
What happened to Charlie?
Huh? Uh
He's gonna be all right.
These days, doctors are so skillful.
He's gonna be all right.
He's not gonna be all right, Ma!
His guts are hanging out!
-He's dead in there!
-[Lek] Go on, keep moving.
Keep walking.
-Stop.
-[Sai gasps]
-[Sai] Earl.
-Don't move.
Keep back.
[Lek] Back off, now!
Earl.
-Where have you been?
-Sai.
Help me.
Keep back, all of you!
What happened?
That farang, he did it.
Dad! You know it wasn't Earl!
It's true! It was him who did it!
He did it. He threw my sister Par
from the second floor,
and she broke her neck.
Ma!
-It's true!
-Where?
Show me now. Where is she?
In the car.
-Shit!
-[Sai screams]
I'm sorry.
May your soul rest in peace now.
I'm sorry.
Officer, why are you doing this
to my sister?
[Jan sobs]
[Jan] Oh. Officer!
She must be beautiful even in her death.
A bit too late for that now, isn't it?
Her neck's twisted.
What about the other two? Who killed them?
You mean Tukta and her farang husband?
No, not them.
There are two guys
lying dead near the fields.
What? What do you mean?
Does he mean my boy?
I don't know who they are.
Oh.
That farang! You killed my lovely boy!
[Boonluck] You piece of shit!
-[Sai grunts]
-[Boonluck growling]
Don't do it.
-I saw Phet trapped
-Huh?
underneath the pickup truck.
I don't know if he was dead.
And Kai
Um, well
-he shot himself.
-What?
He
What?
He he took the gun
and shot himself in in
-In the head.
-What?
Is this man your husband?
That's right.
But Phet
was my ex.
And Kai was
my brother.
Sai, what's going on?
Why am I in handcuffs?
Take off his handcuffs, please.
Please, officer, I beg you.
Can't you see he's badly hurt?
Okay. All right.
[Earl grunting]
He mustn't go anywhere.
He's the prime suspect.
He didn't kill anyone!
He's not capable of doing that.
Don't say that, Sai!
Don't blindly defend him
like you always do!
Can't you see he killed our Kai?
He did it!
Yeah, he did it!
-Why are you so stupid?
-It's him!
-That farang killed Kai!
-It's him!
-Calm down.
-I'm telling you!
All of you!
I've counted. There are five bodies.
Broken neck.
Two men by the side of the road.
This lady, and her farang husband.
So, where's the farang's body?
Inside.
You stay here. Don't go anywhere.
You wanna know about Charlie?
'Cause I know what happened to him.
Why is the gun in here, though?
Sir?
Hear me.
I I know what happened.
I I was there inside when
Charlie was killed.
[Earl] I saw
Sai, tell your farang to shut up!
He's spouting a lot of crap. He's lying!
[Boonluck]
He's talking complete and utter bullshit!
Sir.
Let me see your feet.
-[Boonluck grunts]
-[Jan screams]
[Sai] Dad!
[Jan] Darling!
[Sai] Don't!
-[Boonluck] Damn it! I won't let you!
-[Jan] Be careful!
[Sai] Dad, don't do it!
[grunts]
[Jan] Sai, no!
[grunts]
Sai!
Sai.
[Boonluck grunting]
-[Lek grunts]
-[Jan screams] Darling!
[Lek grunts]
[thunder rumbles]
[Earl] Sai. Sai.
The fortune-teller's prediction
for my daughter
will come true today.
-Please don't. No.
-It will come true with your death,
-farang!
-[Earl] No!
-No!
-[gunshot]
Put the gun down.
[gunshots]
[gunshot continues]
[Boonluck] Jan.
Jan? Jan.
Jan!
Jan!
Jan.
[whimpering]
Oh, Jan, are you all right?
Don't do this to me.
[whining]
Wake now,
you old hag.
Wake up now!
[whimpering]
[eerie music]
[grunts]
Pa, Ma! Save me now!
[screaming]
[grunts]
[traditional music]
[thunder rumbles]
Go.
Take your husband home.
All of the charges have been dropped.
Earl's innocent.
Oh.
Why did you change your mind so quickly?
New evidence.
What about my mother and June?
Your mother ran away.
Where did she go?
How should I know?
She must be scared
after killing an officer.
[sighs]
Ma
Hold on, Inspector.
What about June? Will she be okay?
[Nawat] It's your niece
who saved your husband.
[door closes]
Well done, June.
[light music]
Sai
I love you.
I'm innocent. Please believe me.
[birds chirping]
Look outside.
Look at the sky.
[Earl] We were told that
this massive storm was coming.
I mean,
I thought it was a good idea
to barricade your parents' house.
What the hell was I thinking?
You can't just
blindly believe what people say.
Pay no attention
to all the noise out there.
Make up your own mind.
You know me.
You know
I couldn't have done
any of the things they accused me of.
You know that.
Don't you?
[dramatic music]
One more thing.
Do you remember
what you bought from the market that day?
Yeah, I do.
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
MAGIC MUSHROOM
Is this what you bought?
No. What is it?
[sighs]
Nothing.
It's all right.
You can go. Go home now.
Bye-bye, sir.
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
MAGIC MUSHROOM
THE CASE TURNS UPSIDE DOWN?
[Jan] June is nothing but a burden.
I'm going to talk to the lawyer.
I'll give her up to Tukta
so we can get it over with.
[Jan] Don't tell Sai about this.
She won't let us do it.
[Sai] Ma, how is June doing now?
[Jan] She's doing very well.
'Cause I'm the one who feeds her.
She's their child, but I gotta raise her.
[Sai] Hey.
Don't say things like that, okay?
[both giggling]
Wow, they're so pretty.
What are they, Jamie?
Well, my dad calls them "magic mushrooms."
I saw him eat a handful,
and he went all stupid, mad.
-Like crazy shit.
-[both laugh]
Do you want to try?
Cool.
[Jamie sighs]
[both chuckle]
[both giggling]
Look!
[Jamie] It's like my dad and your mom.
[both laughing]
This soup's out of this world.
[Kai] Nice and spicy.
Mmm.
Mmm.
-It's so damn tasty.
-[Phet] It really is.
Who's there?
[eerie music]
-[grunts]
-[screams]
[Boonluck] Don't take me,
ancestral guardian spirits.
Please spare me!
[engine revs]
[Phet] Oh, no. Power's still off.
Can't see a blood thing.
I'm gonna kill myself
[Kai] Hey, hey, hey,
watch where you're going.
-[Kai] Let's go!
-[Phet] Huh?
-[Kai] Let's go wait in the truck.
-[Phet] Okay.
[Kai] Much better than being in the dark.
[Phet] Mm-hmm.
Come on, Phet. Let's get out of here.
[Kai] Are those legs?
[Phet] Hey. Hey, hey, hey! Stop!
Break, break, break! Hey!
You twat.
[Phet] With you gone,
know this, farang,
Sai will be mine again!
[Phet laughs maniacally]
[laughing continues]
Hey. Hey!
-[thunder rumbles]
-[Boonluck whimpers]
[grunts]
Pa, Ma! Save me now!
[screams]
[labored breath]
[Nawat] Stop.
What's the hurry?
Your phone.
Thank you, sir.
[light music]
POLICE STATION FOR THE PEOPLE
June!
Aunt Sai!
[Nawat] Yes, sir.
We just got the blood test results.
We found a trace of a substance
in all of them.
It's called "psilocybin."
It's psychoactive, hallucinogenic.
Found in magic mushrooms.
Can drive you crazy if you take a lot.
It can also, when eaten with other people,
cause a collective trip.
From testing the food in their stomachs,
mushrooms were detected in the soup
they all had for dinner that night.
I believe that this is the root cause
of everything that occurred.
Yes, sir.
I will write up my report
as soon as possible.
-[phone clacks]
-Oh!
[hanging tone]
POL. MAJOR NAWAT BANLUECHA
INSPECTOR (INQUIRY)
What the hell are you scribbling?
Well, uh
Nothing, sir.

Please do not believe these reports.

THE MURDERER
[birds chirping]
[radio anchor] Good morning, everyone.
We begin today with news of a series
of gruesome murders
that took place in Roi Et last night.
The killing spree left seven people dead
at a farmhouse in Bung Klua district.
Most of the victims lived together
at the farmhouse.
They are Boonluck, head of the family.
Parsuree, his sister-in-law.
His son, Kai,
and his ex-son-in-law, Phet.
Kai's ex-wife, Tukta.
And her American husband, Charlie.
A police officer was also shot dead
at the scene.
The prime suspect
is Boonluck's son-in-law, Earl Cunningham,
a British national.
The police are currently
questioning eyewitnesses.
A MURDER OF SEVEN PEOPLE IN BUNG KLUA
The Chief of Provincial Police Region Four
has assigned the case
to the lead inspector
at Don Kratok Police Station.
He is Police Major Nawat Banluecha,
also known
as "The Hot-Headed Crime-Buster."
Well, don't make things difficult.
Sir,
I am telling you the truth.
What is it that you want me to say?
[woman]
I told you I was unconscious at that time.
MASS MURDER
BY MANIAC WHITE MAN IN-LAW LEFT 7 DEAD
Huh?
Oh. Hmm
[Nawat clears throat]
Now, don't be sad.
Everyone knows what happened that night.
And you're still very young.
You'll find a new husband.
No, sir. I do not want a new husband.
Your farang
is a murderer.
You know he's as guilty as sin.
You know it
as well as I do.
Tell me now that you know
he did it.
Sai,
you are the only eyewitness.
Just say your farang was the one.
And that'll be it.
He goes to jail, and then it's done!
I know that Earl
didn't do it, though, sir.
[light comical music]
What are you doing, you idiot?
She's crying,
so give it to her!
You're such an idiot.
Hey! Give me a shirt!
[door opens, closes]
Watch this.
What is it?
[Kitty] Hello, and welcome to Kitty News,
bringing you the latest update
on the case of the farang killer.
I'm here now at the crime scene.
We spoke to a hermetic wanderer,
one Attiyaso Yoda,
who took a look at the scene.
Let's hear his thoughts on the case.
In the land of America, 20 years ago,
a strange thing happened.
A serial killer
was fatally wounded by the police.
Before he died,
he cast some voodoo
to transfer his spirit
inside a doll.
The doll then possessed the farang
waiting for the moment to kill.
And now he has!
[laughs]
[sighs]
[Sai] It's like that film Chucky.
Have you ever seen that movie?
Yeah.
Scary.
That mad, possessed doll.
Ran off to people, and stab, stab, stab!
Oh, it was scary!
Hey!
Enough of this!
Don't distract me now, you hear?
Tell me what happened
when you got back here with your farang.
And don't lie.
I remember hearing on the news
that a looming storm was about to hit.
A more violent and destructive storm
than anyone can remember.
[thunder rumbling]
[Sai] And it was about
to hit the Isan region.
[reporter on radio]
The Meteorological Department
has issued the 11th emergency notification
about the most disastrous
tropical depression in 20 years.
It lies 190 kilometers
away from the west of Vietnam,
with wind speed reaching as high
as 50 kilometers per hour.
The storm is expected to enter
the Northeast region of Thailand
at midnight.
It is advised--
-[Sai sighs]
-Hmm?
Mm. Good.
[chuckles]
Do you want to stop for a rest?
No, I want to get there quickly.
The storm is coming.
[Earl] Mm. You're right.
We should hurry.
I'm excited to see June again.
Me too.
Do you think she'll like our gift?
She's going to love it.
There's something I haven't told you.
Kai's ex-wife, Tukta,
she's trying to take back June.
They're fighting in court now.
Tukta?
A few months ago,
Tukta moved back to our village
with her American husband and his kid.
She's telling the court that
they can give June a better life.
But this Tukta woman
doesn't even know June.
Since I left home,
June is stuck with my parents.
And Kai is
[sighs]
He's just really horrible.
June deserves better.
THE ARRIVAL OF THE WHITE MAN IN-LAW
[folk music]
[metal clanks]
Hello, Papa.
Tell me why
you bought all this stuff then.
Well, Earl wants to board up the house
in good time before the storm gets here.
So we'll be safe and not scared
like before.
But what is there to be scared of, girl?
I've seen storms since I was a kid.
Your farang husband, he doesn't know shit.
Just give it a rest, will you?
It's good to see you.
[rooster crows]
Dad, where's June then?
She's at the market.
She won't be long.
Mm.
[rock music]
[music stops]
[Boonluck] Mm.
Where's June?
It's none of your business where she is.
Just tell me, Sai.
A storm is coming this way, you know?
I'm taking her to stay with Jamie.
You know that my house
will be way safer for her.
June's perfectly safe here.
But she's really not.
What's that? Are you building an arc
to escape the storm or what?
[laughs]
You know, my pa used to build boats.
[chuckles]
I could always give you a hand.
[Earl] Thanks, but, uh
I'm not building sailboats,
I'm just going to board up the windows.
By the way, I'm Earl.
Charlie. Ha.
-American?
-Yeah. Are you a Brit?
[Earl] Mm-hmm.
Oh. Sai,
so won't you gonna introduce
your husband to me?
-I'm waiting.
-Dream on.
I don't want you to sink
your dirty claws into him.
And why is that? You're not jealous.
It's really not my fault, you know.
That so many men
can't keep their hands off.
But it is all your fault, though,
that June grew up without a mom.
Come on, you know I had to work.
And Kai, your awful brother,
he's too thick to raise her.
Yeah, but you've never even cared
about your own daughter.
And you left her to do
that kind of work in Pattaya.
What's wrong with working in a bar?
What about you, then?
Yeah, you got your degree,
but at the of the day
But at the end of the day,
you're a lowly hotel clerk.
That means a farang to support her.
You're no better than me.
I don't need a man to support me like you.
And I can take care of June.
Now, you get out of here.
You'll see.
June's gonna come back
and stay with me, okay?
If you stand in the way,
then I will see you, Sai, in court!
Hey, Charlie! Let's go.
Uh, darling? My love?
-Uh
-What is it now?
Do you mind if I stay for a while
so I can give Earl a hand?
You know, darling, you know how much
I love construction work.
-Huh?
-It's okay. I'm fine.
-Really.
-I'm just trying to be a good neighbor.
I mean, unless you don't need the help?
No. No, no. Uh, I could use a hand.
Thanks.
Suit yourself. Ugh!
My husband's such a moron.
-[car door closes]
-[car engine starts]
THE SUSPECHey, farang!
So do you still refuse to admit it? Huh?
Hey!
You know? You know?
Hmm? Hmm?
Do you know how I got this scar here?
It'll make you quake!
Years ago,
a farang hippy like you
was high on meth,
took his wife hostage at knifepoint.
No one dared go near him.
But I did!
Stop!
You farang. Police!
Police, my lily-white arse.
-Farang, drop it.
-Go to hell!
-Drop it!
-Kiss my ass!
-Drop it!
-Suck my dick!
-Drop it!
-Fuck you!
[suspenseful music]
[woman screaming]
You see?
That's why I hate farangs like you,
most of all!
You lazy fuckers only think
about sex, booze, and drugs!
Joi!
Since he won't talk,
show him now
what will happen to him!
[comical music]
[chokes, thuds]
Farang!
It's time for you
to tell me the truth now!
Okay. Okay. Please don't do that.
I'll tell you everything.
The whole truth.
[whirring]
I love Thailand, man.
You know?
-The Thai food
-[Earl chuckles]
The weather.
I am not so sure about the people, though.
[laughs]
You know what I mean?
[Charlie] Oh.
Uh, you know,
I'm crazy about Muay Thai too.
-Huh?
-Yeah. Hey! Check out my new tattoo.
THAI COCK
Muay Thai. Yeah.
Pretty cool, huh?
[laughs]
[awkward chuckle]
[drilling]
So, how long have you
and the missus been together?
[Earl] Well, uh, we met through work.
You managed a bar?
[laughs]
Gosh, no.
Uh, Sai works in marketing
at a hotel booking website.
I was the IT guy.
How did you guys meet?
Yeah, we met in a bar.
She was working, not me.
[laughs]
[Earl] Nice.
Yeah, uh You know
Tukta might be a little prickly
around the edges
[drilling]
but she's a good wife.
You know, she takes care of the kid.
She feeds me.
What else could a guy ask for, right?
I just wish she came with a mute button.
You know what I mean?
Like, she's always hustling me.
You get that too, right?
-Hustling?
-Yeah.
In the West, we have social security.
Here, they have farangs.
[Earl chuckles]
BUT NO ONE CAN ESCAPE DEATH
-[drilling]
-[distant pounding]
[sighs]
Hiya! Why on earth
are you making such racket, then, huh?
You white asshole.
[Par humming]
-[clanks]
-Oi!
[pounding]
Ugh! That Tukta, she's got a lot of nerve.
Coming round here to start on you.
Just because her husband
built her a house,
she thinks she's a queen.
Well, of course, she does.
Well, what about you?
Will your husband build you one, Sai?
Oiya. He's not that rich, Auntie Par.
He's not a bank.
I can't squeeze money out of him
whenever I want to.
Well, then, you picked badly.
You chose a penniless white guy.
Listen, Sai, I'm telling you,
these farangs only come here
to marry Isan girls
because they want us to take care of them
when they are gray and old.
They're just looking for a wife
to mop their piss and shit
when they can no longer get out of bed.
It's just the way it is, girl.
Uh, Sai, I forgot to say
that your ex is coming around tonight.
Hmm?
Phet is coming around to our house?
What's wrong with that?
But Phet is your brother's friend,
isn't he?
[scoffs]
Sounds about right.
Losers always stick together,
don't they, huh?
Oi, that farang you married
is no better man than Phet,
you got that?
Don't be such a snob.
Think about it.
The only reason he married one of us
was 'cause he couldn't find a farang girl
who wanted to take him.
Anyway, Sai, is it true
about what they say
about those farangs?
That their penises are really very big?
Enormous?
Shut up, Par!
[Par laughing]
Yum. Yum.
-[laughing continues]
-[sighs]
THE GIRL
[comical music]
You're frightened, aren't you, yeah?
It's 'cause of my scar,
it scares you, doesn't it, girl?
But don't be scared, no.
I'll tell you a little secret now
of how I got it.
Do you want to know that?
[sighs]
Do you like dung beetles?
When I was a boy, I hated them.
Whenever I saw one,
I crushed it to death.
And one day,
I went out into the rice fields.
I was your age.
To help my mother harvest the rice.
[folk country music]
[gasps]
The dung beetle died instantly.
-[gasps]
-[both laugh]
Served him right.
You really shouldn't have messed with me!
All right, that's it.
And now that I've told you
my little secret,
it's only fair that you now tell me
your little secret.
[laughs]
That day,
you took a trip to the market.
Yeah, that's right.
I went to the market that day.
And when you came back,
you saw the farang
fight with your grandparents?
It wasn't like that. It was my Grandpa.
He was ever so grumpy.
[June] He was swearing at everyone.
I didn't know what had happened,
but he was so bad-tempered.
Everything made him cross.
Why don't my plants grow?
Oh, why is it so hard?
Nothing to harvest at all.
Hey, June!
What the blooming hell
is taking you so long?
Well, you didn't give me money
for the bus,
so I had to walk there.
And that's why I've been gone so long.
Enough now!
Shut up, you hear?
Give the food to your gran!
Can't you see a storm is on the way?
And tell your farang uncle
not to ruin my house.
[Boonluck] Jeez.
Aren't you all curious
about what he's doing?
He might be planning to lock us
all up inside.
You farang prick.
I know what you're up to!
You're plotting against us all!
-That's what you're doing.
-[sighs]
And, uh, how about work?
I grow ganja and shrooms
on the rice paddy.
Ganja and shrooms?
Yeah, marijuana and magic mushrooms.
Do you want some?
[awkward chuckle]
You should come over.
I'll pick you some fresh stuff.
And I'll make you
my specialty shroom shake.
You're going to trip balls, man.
Yeah.
Mmm.
[laughing]
Bang your woman and you might see
four titties instead of two.
-[Charlie laughing]
-[fake laugh]
Hi, June!
Do you need a hand?
Hey. How are you doing, little angel, huh?
Huh?
Ma?
How is June doing now?
She's doing very well,
'cause I'm the one who feeds her.
She's their child, but I gotta raise her.
Hey! Don't say things like that, okay?
[gasps]
June!
Aunt Sai!
-Mmm.
-Hey!
Oh, June!
Why did you dump the food there, huh?
We need that for our dinner.
Go pick it up!
So when did you get here then?
-[Boonluck's wife scoffs]
-I only just got here.
So how are you? It's been so long.
[sighs]
I remembered how annoying they are.
Sai, tell me, are you going to take me
to live with you in Bangkok?
Oh, June, it won't be long.
I have to talk about it with your dad.
Oh, Earl and I have got a nice,
little present to give to you.
You want it?
Can I have it now, Sai?
We'll give it to you after dinner, okay?
[Boonluck] June!
Where the devil are you?
I told you to take the laundry inside!
Why haven't you done it?
You never listen to me!
Oi! Can't you take it easy?
[Boonluck's wife]
You'll have a heart attack at this rate!
June isn't your maid, you know,
she's your granddaughter!
June,
I'll help you with the laundry,
then we'll go for a ride, okay?
Yeah.
[upbeat music]
You like that, do you?
When I was a kid,
I could eat those chews all day long.
I bought them whenever I could.
And you know what?
They'd often try to con me.
They just wrap the paper
with nothing inside.
I got angry every time
I unwrap nothing but paper.
'Cause I hate it when people lie.
Do you get me?
What happened then?
Aunt Sai took me to see my friend Jamie
in her car.
"Jamie"? What?
Don't tell me this Jamie
is another farang.
[June] Jamie is Charlie's son.
Charlie is my mommy's new husband.
[Sai] Can you and Jamie
understand each other?
[June] Well, sort of.
He knows a few words to get by.
I have no friends at school
and Jamie hasn't either.
So we become close friends
with each other.
[car revving]
[sighs]
I don't think my car
will get up that hill.
[Sai] Can you walk up?
Go, play with your friend.
Don't be too long, though,
'cause there's a big storm coming.
'Kay.
-Jamie!
-Hey, June!
-[Jamie] Will you fly kite with me?
-[June] Yes! Let's go!
[Jamie] Over here is a nice place.
[Nawat] How's your shoulder, ma'am?
-Let me see.
-Oh.
Oh, okay.
You in a lot of pain?
It's agony.
[groans]
I just want to die now.
You'll get well soon. It's not serious.
Why won't you let me die?
[gasping]
Boonluck is dead now.
Who am I going to live with?
Hmm
You can die later.
But I need your help, yeah?
Let's put that asshole in jail, all right?
Your daughter is useless. She really is.
Yeah. Don't you believe a word
that she's said.
My daughter supports that farang
in everything.
You won't hear a bad word said about him.
[Boonluck's wife shudders]
THE FORTUNE-TELLER'S PREDICTION
[Boonluck's wife] Sai, you're still young.
Why don't you see if you can find yourself
a rich man who can make you happy?
Don't waste your time
on this lousy farang, you hear, hmm?
Remember what the fortune-teller
from Maha Sarakham prophesied?
Hmm? Think on it.
What on earth are you going on about?
I've got no idea.
Oh?
The fortune-teller said
that you'd become a widow
when you turn 30.
And now you're 29, aren't you?
Hmm? Don't tell me you've forgotten.
[sighs]
That's such a load of old nonsense.
Hey! It's not a load of nonsense, Sai!
Listen to me.
Pretty soon now, you'll become
a parched-pussy widow like me!
[sighs]
You do what you want, though.
If anything happens to your farang,
don't come crying to me, okay?
[Par] Too right.
How long did you plan to keep on hiding
the prediction, huh?
You're withholding evidence
from a police officer!
Are you mad or what?
How can a fortune-teller's prediction
be used as evidence?
Ugh! This is crazy!
I think that your farang
got an idea
from what the fortune-teller told you!
Here.
What's this?
Take a look.
Did you not know
that your farang
took out insurance for you?
And when you die,
he'll become filthy rich.
He never told me he took this out.
You're naive then.
How well do you really know him, huh?
[Nawat] Hmm?
That farang had planned every detail.
And your family found him out,
so he had to dispose of every one of them.
Earl is really not like that!
So then spit it out.
What really happened that night?
Convince me then!
That the two of you
weren't conspiring together!
That night,
all of us were having an evening meal.
[thunder rumbling]
[Sai] But it was really awkward
because Earl was there
and so was Phet, my ex-husband.
It was very uncomfortable.
Hey, Kai.
So, what's the farang's name again?
Er.
"Er"?
What kind of name is Er?
Uh, I've no idea.
Everyone calls him "Er."
Are you sure?
Maybe you got it wrong.
Why don't you ask him yourself then?
Sai
what's your friend's name?
[sighs]
It's Earl.
[laughing]
So I was right then. His name's "Er."
Er.
[laughing continues]
[Phet whispers]
Such a stupid name.
This soup's out of this world.
Jan! Go get me some more.
-Mmm. So tasty.
-Perfect.
[Phet] Nice and spicy.
Need to get the recipe.
[Kai] Are you full?
[Boonluck moaning]
[Boonluck] Eat it all up.
Mmm. Mmm. I love it.
-[Boonluck] Mmm.
-[Jan] Let me drink it up.
-[indistinct chattering]
-[slurping]
-[Boonluck] So good. Mmm.
-[Kai] You're right, Dad.
[Phet] So spicy. It's refreshing.
So damn good.
[Par] Oi, get off my food.
[Kai] Mm. Mm. I got a big one here.
[Boonluck] Let me see.
[Kai] Here. Leave bones right here.
[slurping]
[Boonluck] Hey!
-Be careful.
-Go easy.
[Kai] I can't get enough.
[Par] Go on, take a big bite.
[Jan] Mmm. So good.
[slurping]
[Kai] It's delicious. Mmm.
I could eat this forever.
[slurping, munching]
[Phet] Special. So special.
[Kai moans]
It's so good.
[Boonluck] You got the chili, just right.
-There we go.
-[Kai] So spicy.
[indistinct chatter]
BUT NO ONE CAN ESCAPE DEATH
[both sigh]
Is everything all right?
Yeah.
Sometimes, I can't believe
that this is my family.
Do you think I've become too farang?
[scoffs]
I don't know what you mean by farang,
but it definitely doesn't mean civilized.
You should have heard the stuff
coming out of Charlie's mouth today.
What? What did he say?
Some really ignorant shit.
I don't know why he married a Thai woman
if that's what he thinks
about Thai people.
[Sai sighs]
It's not just him.
My mother and auntie are just as bad.
[knocking on door]
Who's there?
[June] It's me, June.
Come on in, then.
Hey, hey, hey.
I'm so sorry.
I never did give you your present, did I?
I hope you like it.
[gasps]
[Sai chuckles]
How do you know
that I wanted a mobile phone?
[Sai] Hmm
Ah, well, all of your friends
have them, don't they?
They all do.
I was the only one in my class
who didn't have one.
[Sai chuckles]
[Earl chuckles]
Thank you, Uncle Earl.
You're welcome.
Hey, come on, I'll show you
-Oh.
-how to use the camera.
[imitates clicking]
-[Earl] Mm-hmm.
-Ah.
That opens
-Oh! Hello!
-Ah.
[Earl] opens the camera.
Now, you can take videos like a movie
-if you press that.
-Oh. A video?
Video! Very good. Yeah.
First thing tomorrow, I'll show it
to all my friends at school.
Uh, bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
[door closes]
That's very kind.
Thank you, Uncle Earl.
[both chuckle]
[romantic music]
[Kai] You know that song, don't you?
[Phet] No.
What are we talking about? What song?
[Kai singing in Thai]
A man with no looks can't stay
Even a monk tells him to go away
[purring]
[in English]
A real pain, those two.
Ignore them.
[Kai] Hey!
[Kai laughing]
[Kai] You don't know this song?
[Kai singing in Thai]
A gun with no bullets can't kill a man
A fiddle with no strings
Can't join a band
A man with no looks can't stay
-Even a monk tells him to go away
-[in English] Okay. I will go down
and say they need to stop.
[Kai and Phet purring, harmonizing]
Okay.
[Kai groaning]
-[Phet] What's going on?
-[Kai] The power's out.
Ugh! Ugh!
[Phet] I think a storm
really is coming tomorrow.
Must be a power outage.
Maybe the storm.
-Yeah.
-[Kai and Phet clamor]
-Sai, you stay here.
-[Kai] Go get a torch.
I'll go down and check it out.
I don't think that's a good idea.
Let me go.
Stay right there.
[Kai] Yeah. Where is it?
It's over there?
[in hoarse voice]
I'll be back.
[both chuckle]
[Sai] Hold on, Inspector.
Look here.
My husband didn't sign it.
He's not the beneficiary.
This means the policy isn't at all legal.
Someone has set up Earl!
Don't pull the other one.
You're covering up for him.
He's your farang!
I know it.
You were conspiring with him
from the start.
You were!
And why would I ever do
something like that?
And who'd kill their own parents, huh?
And what would I get?
It's impossible!
It's not impossible.
Think it through.
That night, the farang came down,
and ran into your brother and ex-husband.
[suspenseful music]
-[gasps]
-Shut up!
-[Earl] Both of you!
-Wha
-[gasps]
-Just calm down.
-I am trying to fuck
-[Kai] We haven't done anything.
-your ex-wife
-[Kai] What's wrong with you?
-and your sister!
-Hey, calm down.
-Calm down!
-[Phet] Please, take it easy.
[Nawat] He then came right at them.
They tried to fend them off,
but the farang was too strong.
[screaming]
[Nawat] "No! Don't! Don't hurt me!"
"No. No. No, no!"
[screaming]
That's how it was.
Who told you this dumb story?
You talk as if you're actually there.
-[knocking on door]
-Come in.
[comical music]
What's this then?
The best you could do, hmm?
I'm sorry, sir.
It's the only one I can find.
[shudders]
Get out of here! Now!
[door opens, closes]
So then talk.
I heard Phet and Kai screaming outside.
-[Kai] Don't do it. Calm down.
-[distant pounding]
Er! Help!
[Boonluck] The farang has gone mental!
-[Kai] Stop! Stop!
-[Boonluck] Run! Just run!
-[Kai] Calm down. Don't do it.
-[Sai] I heard my father screaming too.
[Kai] Help!
No! No! No!
[Sai] But soon after,
I heard Kai leaving in his pickup truck.
[engine revving]
[Sai shrieks]
Earl!
What happened?
It was an accident.
-Oh, my God.
-I was trying to
-We're going to the hospital now.
-No. There's a storm. Just
grab a big towel.
I'll be fine.
There's a first aid kit
around here somewhere.
[Boonluck screaming]
THE BLOODY SHIRSo, at 8:00 p.m. that night,
you heard your grandpa screaming?
That's right.
[Boonluck screaming]
[Boonluck] You farang prick,
why did you kill my son?
Jan! Jan!
The farang has killed our beloved Kai!
[cries]
[Boonluck wailing]
Jan! The farang killed our beloved Kai!
Our Kai, my Kai is dead.
What's going on?
[gasps]
Ah! Whose blood is this?
[Boonluck] It's our boy's.
He just killed Kai and Phet.
I saw it with my own eyes.
-He struck their heads with a hammer.
-[Jan whimpers]
[Boonluck] There's blood everywhere!
-Wha Then, come. We have to tell Par.
-Hurry.
Par! Wake up!
Par!
[Jan shrieks]
Aah! What's the matter with you?
[gasping]
Have you really come back to me?
Hey! What are you doing?
I I heard my husband's voice.
Yes, Jan, my husband has come back.
He's come back as a ghost to haunt you!
Ya! No, he hasn't. It's that farang.
He's gonna kill us all!
Huh? But why on earth would he do that?
He's killed Kai and Phet already.
Now we got to go on Sai.
Wait a second.
Just think.
What happens if he gets in our way?
Then what do we do?
You're so right.
We need some protection.
We need to get a weapon.
[military music]
[dog barking]
[gecko chirps]
[Par gasps]
[all gasp]
[screaming]
What? What's going on?
-[Par scoffs]
-[Jan grunts]
Your farang husband
killed Kai and Phet in cold blood.
Huh?
Why would you say something like that?
Look!
Hey, that's Earl's shirt.
He just had a little accident.
Sai, you have to believe me now, huh? Huh?
I told you that
that fortune-teller was telling the truth!
Ma!
I'm telling you, your husband
killed Kai, your brother!
Go outside and take a look.
Okay. Where's the body then?
There, outside,
covered in blood.
Have a look!
Oh, really? Take me and show me then.
Aunt Par, help me find the first aid kit.
I can't find it.
[Par sighs]
All right then.
[Sai] Okay, let's go.
See? I told you.
Earl was cut by some broken glass.
Oi, girl. You're calling me a liar?
Where are the bodies then?
And look, the truck is gone.
I think they've taken the truck
and headed off.
They're not dead!
How do you know? Maybe the farang took it.
No, I'm telling you, that's not true!
He's in my room right now.
Wait. Par! Par's upstairs!
We have to see if she's okay.
But she's upstairs alone.
What if your farang kills her too?
Could you please stop?
Why would Earl kill her, huh?
[all screaming]
[Jan] Par! Par!
THE FIRST BODY
[groans in disgust]
[high-pitched tinkle]
BLOOD UNDER THE FINGERNAILS
Forensic investigators are examining
the traces of blood
found under your aunt's fingernails.
I'm certain
they'll prove that that blood
belongs to your farang husband.
[Nawat] Look.
All right then.
Wanna know what I think?
[Nawat] That night,
your aunt was looking
for the first aid kit.
She wandered into your room.
The farang was lying in wait,
like a tiger waiting for its prey.
-[grunts]
-[screaming]
[Nawat] She tried to fight back,
but failed.
[choking]
[Nawat] She scratched his arm
with her fingernails.
[groans, heavy breathing]
[Nawat] He went berserk.
And he broke her neck.
[screams]
And then he threw her out the window
like a kid tossing a toy.
[body thuds]
[grunts]
We have strong evidence here.
This case will soon be solved.
If you have more to say,
tell me now.
I wanna see my husband.
-[gasps]
-No!
You're trying to get your story straight.
Do you think I'm that stupid?
Do you think I'm an idiot?
[Nawat] Huh?
Okay.
You want to play that game,
let's bring it on.
We'll get you.
You and your poor farang
Bang to rights!
I swear I know nothing. I have no idea.
I'll try and explain.
That night, my parents and I
were in shock,
so we rushed Aunt Par to the hospital.
Oi.
[in sarcastic tone]
Can you drive any slower?
I need to shit.
Ma, it's dark out there.
We gotta take it slowly.
I can hardly see anything.
[farting]
What was that?
[Boonluck gags]
[Boonluck] Damn you, you old hag!
I think I'm gonna throw up.
[Boonluck gagging]
It's in my mouth now, you old hag!
[Jan] It wasn't me.
So who was it then?
Why are you looking at me like that?
It wasn't me, all right?
[Sai coughs]
Hey, Par.
You're not dead, are you?
Is she still breathing, Ma?
She's still alive.
And I'm the one that can't breathe!
[Jan and Boonluck gag]
[engine revving]
-[Sai screaming]
-[man] Stop! Stop! Stop!
[bone cracks]
[Jan grunts, groans]
[Jan gasping]
Par! Hey, Par.
[whimpering]
Her neck is all twisted!
Her cheeks are all siken!
[man] I'm really sorry.
This road is closed right now.
We need to get to the hospital.
Someone's hurt back there.
Who? What happened to her?
My elderly aunt. She had a fall.
[Jan] Par. Par!
[sobbing]
[gagging]
It really stinks in there.
Smells like she's already dead.
Go! Turn back, okay?
And wait out the storm.
Huh? Seriously?
How can we do that when someone is dying?
I am just trying to do my job.
I can't let you through here.
Go home now and try again tomorrow.
[Nawat] I'm waiting for the DNA results
of the blood samples under her nails.
And if they match yours, know this,
you'll spend
the rest of your life in a Thai jail.
Do you know that inside
they despise people who kill old hags?
Especially farang like you.
No. Don't. No. You don't understand.
I didn't do anything to her.
I blacked out.
Then I came to
and
no one was there.
[grunting, breathing heavily]
[Earl] When I came out of the house,
there was no one around.
Everybody had gone.
[truck engine revving]
Oh, thank goodness.
Help me! Please, help me!
Help me!
I told you, he'd given you
the wrong change.
It was dark, I couldn't see.
Help me!
What did you put in my whiskey, huh?
Hmm, my head's gone.
Help me!
Help me!
-Whoo.
-You gotta get wasted,
or it's not worth it.
[laughs]
Help me! Help me! Somebody help me!
Stop!
[mud squelches]
[Kai and Phet laughing]
[Phet] That's sick!
[indistinct chatter]
-[Phet] Serves him right.
-[both laughing]
[thunder rumbles]
-[Phet] Glad we left him there.
-[Kai] Shut up now.
[Phet] Huh?
Oh, it's Sai.
[Boonluck] Kai?
See? There they are.
I told you they're not dead.
Oh, my Kai!
Oh, my Kai. You're alive! My beloved son.
You're not hurt, are you, my boy?
Why is he being so dramatic?
They hate each other's guts.
We were absolutely terrified
that the farang had murdered you both!
Who's "we"?
You were the only one who thought so.
Ow!
[Phet and Kai laughing]
What are you talking about?
Why did you think we were dead?
[sighs]
That farang's murdered Auntie Par.
Her body is in the car.
Huh?
[Kai] What are you telling me?
That farang murdered Par?
He could be coming here right now,
planning to kill us all one by one.
[sighs]
Dad, stop your nonsense, okay?
Who's going to kill who?
Earl's asleep inside.
Hey, Kai, go check on June.
And, Phet, get Aunt Par out of the car.
[grunts]
[Sai] Hey!
Earl's not here!
Dad? Ma?
What is it?
June's not She's not in her room.
I can't find her.
Oh, I can't believe it.
This isn't happening.
He must have killed June!
[whimpers]
No.
-[Jan] Not my grandchild.
-Now listen up.
We have to hunt down the farang.
I want you all to grab yourself a weapon.
He must be hiding out there.
Now, look, he can't be long gone.
Now, Kai, you take the truck
and go find June.
Go now!
Earl?
Earl?
Where are you?
[Sai] June? Are you here?
[Sai gasps]
Phet!
You scared me.
My bad, Sai.
I didn't mean to.
[laughs]
Where are you going, huh?
Stop it.
This isn't the time to fool around.
Out of my way.
[clicks tongue]
Sai.
I just want to talk to you.
About what?
We have nothing to talk about.
[sighs]
Can't you just give me one more chance?
One more?
I don't think so. Now let me go.
-I need to go find my husband.
-[grunts]
This time, tomorrow,
your husband farang will be dead, Sai.
The fortune-teller saw it all.
His time is over, Sai.
If he dies, I die with him.
Death is better than being with you.
Son of a bitch!
[Sai grunts]
Is that so?
Then I'll give you what you want.
[gagging]
[tense music]
-[Sai grunts]
-[Phet groans]
[groaning continues]
[Sai grunts]
[coughs]
[whimpering]
THE EX-HUSBAND
All right.
Now finally, at last,
you're being helpful.
What are you saying, then?
I'm saying that we're getting somewhere.
You've just given me a lead.
If you had told me earlier,
I'd have worked it out.
Your husband had a motive.
That is ridiculous!
Really?
The farang knew. He knew!
About you and Phet.
He knew about your plans
to get back together.
Believe me.
I will never get back
with that no-good waste of space.
Of course you won't now
because he's dead.
[grunts]
Take a look at this.
This.
This.
And this.
[Nawat] Look at 'em!
Look!
Of what you have done!
Can you explain why your fingerprints
are on these two guns?
You killed Phet because you were jealous.
You were jealous that your wife
was getting back with her ex.
Sai has already confessed to everything.
No.
You're lying!
You fooled them
into splitting up to find you.
And then you killed them in turn.
Did you?
And Phet was number one.
[maniacal laugh]
[Phet grunting, screaming]
[Nawat] After that, you found
Kai's gun in the car.
And then
you killed him.
[screaming]
You enjoyed it, didn't you?
Taking revenge and spilling blood.
And you know what?
I know what white pricks like you
are up to.
You pretend that you are rich
and con local girls into wedlock,
so that they can feed you.
And you pricks don't do shit,
but have sex, smoke weed, and do drugs.
I detest poor farangs like you!
You're worse than dung beetles
in buffalo shit!
I'll see your white ass in jail.
You hear? I will!
[sobbing]
[chuckles]
[traditional music]
POLICE CAMERA FOOTAGE
Play it from the start then.
[police] Bung Klua Police.
[Jan] Is this the police?
Please help us. He's going to kill us!
[police] What?
What did you say? Who's killing who?
[Jan] A farang
just killed my elder sister!
[police] Wait, where are you calling from?
[Jan] I'm calling
from Boonluck's farmhouse.
[police] Okay, Boonluck's farmhouse.
We're coming to you. I'm hanging up.
Let's see the clip from Lek's body camera.
[machine whirs]
[thunder rumbles]
[Lek] Is this Boonluck's farmhouse?
Is anybody here?
[suspenseful music]
[Charlie sighs]
Uh
Name? Your name.
How can I help you?
Uh, what's going on here, officer?
Uh, I'm sorry.
[gasping]
Oh!
Well, a woman reported a serious incident.
And I've come out here to investigate.
Like, how serious?
Well, there's been a murder.
[gasps]
What the hell?
[Lek] Yeah.
-[gasps]
-And I'm a bit lost.
Forgive me, but, uh,
I'm trying to find Boonluck's farmhouse.
It I know where it is.
-You do?
-Oh, yeah.
Tukta! Are you there?
[Tukta] What's with all the noise?
You don't have to shout, you know.
So annoying.
Good evening, officer. What's going on?
There was a a murder over at Boonluck's.
At Boonluck's house?
Wait. My daughter June
is spending the night there tonight.
Come on, I'll take you there.
She's not safe. Let's go, Charlie.
Come on, hurry!
So, which way is it now?
Oh. Keep going straight on down this road.
[tires screech]
[Lek] Who's that lying there?
[car door opens, closes]
[Tukta screams]
But this man is Kai. He's my ex.
[Tukta whimpering]
Is he dead?
[crows squawking]
[sputtering]
[Lek] No, no, no. No. Come on. Jeez.
[sighs]
[sputtering]
Come on now.
[sighs]
Stupid car.
This is our tax dollars at work.
[scoffs]
You two wait in the car.
Sit there. I'll be back.
[Lek] Lock the doors.
[thunder rumbles]
Lock. Lock it.
[Lek] Oh, no.
This is the way to Boonluck's farmhouse?
[Lek sighs]
Oh. What's that?
[suspenseful music]
[gasps]
[line ringing]
[Lek] Inspector? Major, sir?
[Nawat sighs]
What's up?
[Lek] There's been an incident
at Boonluck's farmhouse.
There are dead bodies everywhere.
[Nawat] Everywhere?
What do you mean? How many?
Two, sir.
As of now.
[Nawat] Can you handle it?
Yes, sir.
I can handle this.
[Nawat] Oh. Good. Now don't call me again.
I need to sleep--
What are you looking at?
Watch the video.
[Lek] Am I going the right way?
Didn't think it'd be this far.
-[Lek sighs]
-[footsteps]
[Lek gasps]
Shit!
What?
Is that it?
The camera broke.
What an idiot. I can't see a damn thing.
Go back! Go back! Go back! Rewind!
[Nawat] Further! Further! Further!
Wait. Stop. Stop. Stop.
[suspenseful music]
Mm.
You won't get away, farang.
[Sai] Earl.
What are we going to do?
What do you mean?
They're going to give you
the death penalty.
Surely they can't do that.
There has to be a trial.
I'll prove I'm innocent.
Can you?
What did you tell them?
You do believe I'm innocent, don't you?
Why didn't you tell me
about the insurance?
What?
I can't believe you did that.
Sai, I I don't know
what you're talking about.
[sighs]
I'm sorry, Earl.
[somber music]
I love you, but
[Earl] Sai.
Wait! Listen to me. Sai!
Sai!
Sai!
Please!
[in Thai]
Shut up. You're annoying.
[knocking on door]
[in English]
Come in.
POL. MAJOR NAWAT BANLUECHA
INSPECTOR (INQUIRY)
-Well?
-Inspector.
We've discovered new evidence
in the field.
What do you mean?
What evidence?
NEW EVIDENCE
Why didn't you tell me about this before?
I thought that I'd lost my phone.
Tell me what you saw,
and then we can end all this.
Come on. Chop, chop!
All right then.
I was there, and I saw everything.
"Everything"? Why didn't you say?
I thought no one would believe
that what I said was true.
All right then. Tell it all. Everything!
I want every detail. Understand?
That night,
when Aunt Sai and Uncle Earl
had given me my present,
I went outside to shoot a video.
[June] And then, I saw something.
[Boonluck] June! June!
Where are you?
I told you to clean the loo!
June!
Ugh. Hey, June!
[rustles]
Who's there?
[suspenseful music]
[screaming]
[June] I saw my Grandpa
-scream like a mad man.
-Don't take me,
ancestral guardian spirits.
Please spare me!
[June] After that, I saw my dad and Phet
talking together.
They looked very drunk.
[Phet] I got you that thing
-that you wanted.
-[June] I took a clip of them,
just for fun.
-[Kai] Hey
-[Phet] Here. Here you go.
-So cool.
-Yeah.
What is it, anyway? Hmm?
Insurance.
"Insurance"? What insurance?
Look, look, look. I got it.
-Hmm? What is it?
-Here.
Take a look here.
What?
The beneficiary is the farang.
And the insured is Sai.
Hmm
And so what's the difference between
between the beneficiary
and and the insured?
[Kai growling]
-[groans]
-You idiot.
-That hurts.
-It means that if the farang were to die,
Sai will inherit a million.
Whoa.
[Kai] Mm-hmm.
Although
[Kai clicking tongue]
The insurance agent said
that the farang has to sign it first.
Oh. So, how are you gonna make him
sign it then?
-I'm not quite sure yet.
-[Phet] Mm.
But I'll figure it out.
I can't think of an easy way.
If I can't think of something,
I'll use this.
Hey!
Kai!
-Don't play around with that.
-[laughing]
Put it away!
Someone will see.
Aw, you're such an idiot.
-Be serious.
-But look.
No bullets.
-Don't be such a pussy.
-Ah.
-Just put it away now, can you?
-[Kai laughing]
It's just like that song.
What song?
[sings in Thai]
A gun with no bullets can't kill a man
A fiddle with no strings
Can't join a band
A man with no looks can't stay
Even a monk tells him to go away
[both purring, harmonizing]
[tense music]
[Phet in English]
Oh, not again.
[Kai] Power cut.
[Phet]
Is the storm really coming tomorrow?
[June] A little while later,
I saw Uncle Earl come out of the house.
-Er? Huh?
-It's Er!
-[Phet and Kai laugh]
-Boys,
don't you think it's time
you ended the party for tonight?
Storm's coming.
[both] Uh, yeah. Yeah.
[laughing continues]
Yep, yep!
Good morning, teacher! You all shut up.
[both laugh]
Oh, wait. You
Your name. Your name
Your name, yeah?
-[Phet] What? His name?
-[Kai] Yes.
-[Phet] It's Er.
-I need to get the fuck out of here.
[Kai] Yeah, that's right. His name is Er.
-That's his name.
-[Phet] No. That's not his name.
[Kai] What's his name? What's his name?
I'm telling you, that's his name.
Wha Cut it Cut it out.
You know that, right? You know?
-Er is his name.
-Yeah, that's what I said. I know.
No. No, you didn't.
-What's he up to?
-Uh
[tense music]
-Hey. Easy. No.
-Hey. What? No!
Please, farang,
don't beat my head with that.
What? Stop. Don't do it.
-[Phet] Don't smash our heads in.
-[Kai] Please, don't hurt me! No!
-[both groaning]
-Oh, my head!
No! Oh.
Don't do it.
[thunder rumbles]
[Phet and Kai wailing]
[Kai] That's enough.
[grunts]
Please. Don't!
-Let me go. Please.
-[Phet] No, please.
The farang has gone mental!
Run away! Just run!
[screaming]
Hey, look.
[Boonluck] Run! Just run!
What on earth is wrong with your dad?
I haven't got a clue.
Oh, and
We're out of whiskey.
[Phet] Let's go to Noi's to get some more.
[Kai] Yeah. Let's go. Come on.
[engine revving]
[shatters]
[groans]
[tense traditional music]
[grunts]
[groaning]
[gasps]
[heavy breathing]
[groaning]
[heavy breathing]
-[Sai] Where's the body?
-[June] After that
[Boonluck] There, outside,
-covered in blood.
-they started shouting and arguing.
-[Boonluck] Have a look!
-[June] I heard them from the stairs.
-[Sai] Take me and show me then.
-[June] I began filming them.
[Sai] Aunt Par, help me find
the first aid kit. I can't find it.
All right then.
[suspenseful music]
[Par] Where is it?
It's so dark. I can't see anything.
Maybe it's in here.
Ah.
It's the farang's wallet.
[Boonluck] Oi, girl!
You're calling me a liar?
[Sai] Where are they then?
See? The truck is gone.
I think they've taken the truck
and headed off.
They're not dead.
[Jan] How'd you know it wasn't the farang
who took the truck?
[sobbing]
Love?
Have you come back?
[gasps]
Lo Love!
Hey, Par. You whore!
-No. No, no.
-[Par's husband] You cheated on me.
-No, don't do this. I love you
-[Par's husband] You left me to die!
with all of my heart!
I will kill you!
[screaming]
[all screaming]
[heavy breathing]
THE SECOND TO SEVENTH VICTIMS
Just you wait. If I see that farang,
I'll kill him as if he were a mangy dog.
[Phet groaning]
What's wrong with you? Do your nuts hurt?
Your sister's got a good right foot.
[Phet groaning]
[laughing]
Hey.
What was that?
[Kai] Are those legs?
[Phet] Hey. Hey, hey, hey! Stop!
Break, break, break! Hey!
We almost ran into the ditch.
[Kai] Let's go see.
The farang!
Yeah, I was wondering where he got to.
-Whoo!
-What the hell is he doing down there?
What do you think we should do?
I've an idea.
You stay here and keep a lookout.
I'll go get a rope to tie him up.
Watch him, yeah?
Don't let him go anywhere.
-Yeah, okay, be quick.
-I've got you now, farang!
[Kai laughing]
[eerie music]
[chuckles]
You twat.
With you gone,
know this, farang, Sai will be mine again!
[maniacal laugh]
Hey. Hey!
[grunting]
[grunting continues]
[screams]
[screaming in pain]
[grunts]
Oh, shit.
Shit.
Shit.
Phet, are you okay?
[grunting]
You fat fucking sod
What the fuck do you need that for?
Help!
Somebody, help!
Help!
Help! Somebody, help!
Help!
There you are.
[laughs]
Finally got you, you farang freak.
Phet! Phet!
Where are you?
I got the farang right here.
Phet Phet is under the truck.
Huh?
Did you kill him, huh?
Oh, no, no, no! Kai Kai, you
Oh, you Uh
[pants]
You know I'm not like that.
Farang, I will kill you!
-[grunting]
-Stop!
Ah, so,
you're going to shoot me
with my own gun, huh?
-Huh?
-[Earl shrieks]
-[Kai grunting]
-[Earl breathing heavily]
[screaming]
[both grunting]
[traditional upbeat music]
[laughs]
[grunting]
[Earl grunts, breathing heavily]
No, no, no!
[panting]
[grunts, growls]
[laughs]
[breathing heavily]
Farang, you're such a prick!
There are no bullets in here!
[gasps]
[body thuds]
Fuck.
Fuck!
Fuck!
[screaming]
[screaming continues]
Kai? You stupid asshole.
You can't get drunk
and leave a car like this.
[grunts]
So irresponsible.
I can't trust you with anything, can I?
I'm sick of you!
Look. You even left the key here.
[car engine starts]
Lucky for you, no one has stolen it.
[upbeat folk music]
[revving]
[music stops]
[suspenseful music]
-[Jan shrieks]
-[gasps, groans]
Ooh, you cow. Why did you do that?
-Oh.
-[groaning continues]
I thought you might be the farang.
Do you know if Kai and Phet
come back here yet?
They're not back.
There's no one here. It's just me.
But I've already called the police.
-Oh.
-I don't know what time
they're gonna get here.
Darling?
[Charlie sighs]
Do you think
that cop's forgotten about us, hon?
He's only been gone
for about ten minutes, or so.
Such a pussy
It feels like an hour.
What? No way it's only ten minutes.
I'm so hungry.
[gasps]
Darling
you know what I'm thinking?
[Charlie laughing]
Man.
He might have hidden
some snacks in the car.
-Oi!
-[groans]
You're so stupid.
I'm talking about the gun.
But but we can't eat a gun.
Oh, oh, oh. Yeah.
-The gun. The gun.
-Why did I marry such an idiot?
[suspenseful music]
[thunder rumbles]
[thunder rumbling]
What will we do if the farang comes here?
[sighs]
No. Don't say things like that.
I'm scared.
[door creaking]
[water running]
[Jan breathing heavily]
[eerie music]
-[mutters]
-You hag.
Don't scare me like that.
[Boonluck] He's covered in blood.
I've got an idea.
We need to trick and coax him out.
You start moaning.
And when he comes out,
I'll stab him, yeah?
-[Jan] Help.
-[gasps]
[Jan] Help me.
Please.
Help me.
Help.
Please, help me.
[suspenseful music]
[music intensifies]
[music stops]
[sighs]
-Hey.
-[screams, grunts]
[Charlie screaming]
Fuck of a pain.
[grunting]
[thuds]
Oh, what do we do?
[gasps]
[both gasp]
[breathing heavily]
[Tukta screaming]
Why have you killed Charlie?
-[panting]
-[Tukta whimpering]
I'll tell the police
to put you both in jail!
[shattering]
[Tukta wailing]
Charlie! Huh?

[Lek] Shit!
[Earl panting]
Hey!
Oi. You!
Stop.
-Please, don't hurt me.
-Stop!
-Please, help me.
-Stay still!
Help me. These people are
-crazy.
-Hold still.
[panting]
Shut up.
[groans]
Please don't do that.
I promise, I did nothing.
-Let me go.
-Don't move. Be quiet!
Stand up.
Stand up!
Go.
Go!
I said, "Go!"
[Jan and Boonluck grunting]
[Boonluck grunts]
[Sai] Dad, Mom!
What happened to Tukta?
Uh Oh, Sai, where have you been?
I've been looking for June.
And I can't find her anywhere, Ma.
[Sai] What happened to Tukta?
What's with all this blood?
She tripped and then she fell.
She fell straight onto my garden fork.
And what was she doing here?
I don't know!
She and Charlie, they showed up suddenly
just out of nowhere!
-Charlie, too? Where is he?
-[Jan] Mm.
[grunts]
[Jan] Sai
We're screwed.
[Sai screams]
Pull yourself together.
What happened to Charlie?
Huh? Uh
He's gonna be all right.
These days, doctors are so skillful.
He's gonna be all right.
He's not gonna be all right, Ma!
His guts are hanging out!
-He's dead in there!
-[Lek] Go on, keep moving.
Keep walking.
-Stop.
-[Sai gasps]
-[Sai] Earl.
-Don't move.
Keep back.
[Lek] Back off, now!
Earl.
-Where have you been?
-Sai.
Help me.
Keep back, all of you!
What happened?
That farang, he did it.
Dad! You know it wasn't Earl!
It's true! It was him who did it!
He did it. He threw my sister Par
from the second floor,
and she broke her neck.
Ma!
-It's true!
-Where?
Show me now. Where is she?
In the car.
-Shit!
-[Sai screams]
I'm sorry.
May your soul rest in peace now.
I'm sorry.
Officer, why are you doing this
to my sister?
[Jan sobs]
[Jan] Oh. Officer!
She must be beautiful even in her death.
A bit too late for that now, isn't it?
Her neck's twisted.
What about the other two? Who killed them?
You mean Tukta and her farang husband?
No, not them.
There are two guys
lying dead near the fields.
What? What do you mean?
Does he mean my boy?
I don't know who they are.
Oh.
That farang! You killed my lovely boy!
[Boonluck] You piece of shit!
-[Sai grunts]
-[Boonluck growling]
Don't do it.
-I saw Phet trapped
-Huh?
underneath the pickup truck.
I don't know if he was dead.
And Kai
Um, well
-he shot himself.
-What?
He
What?
He he took the gun
and shot himself in in
-In the head.
-What?
Is this man your husband?
That's right.
But Phet
was my ex.
And Kai was
my brother.
Sai, what's going on?
Why am I in handcuffs?
Take off his handcuffs, please.
Please, officer, I beg you.
Can't you see he's badly hurt?
Okay. All right.
[Earl grunting]
He mustn't go anywhere.
He's the prime suspect.
He didn't kill anyone!
He's not capable of doing that.
Don't say that, Sai!
Don't blindly defend him
like you always do!
Can't you see he killed our Kai?
He did it!
Yeah, he did it!
-Why are you so stupid?
-It's him!
-That farang killed Kai!
-It's him!
-Calm down.
-I'm telling you!
All of you!
I've counted. There are five bodies.
Broken neck.
Two men by the side of the road.
This lady, and her farang husband.
So, where's the farang's body?
Inside.
You stay here. Don't go anywhere.
You wanna know about Charlie?
'Cause I know what happened to him.
Why is the gun in here, though?
Sir?
Hear me.
I I know what happened.
I I was there inside when
Charlie was killed.
[Earl] I saw
Sai, tell your farang to shut up!
He's spouting a lot of crap. He's lying!
[Boonluck]
He's talking complete and utter bullshit!
Sir.
Let me see your feet.
-[Boonluck grunts]
-[Jan screams]
[Sai] Dad!
[Jan] Darling!
[Sai] Don't!
-[Boonluck] Damn it! I won't let you!
-[Jan] Be careful!
[Sai] Dad, don't do it!
[grunts]
[Jan] Sai, no!
[grunts]
Sai!
Sai.
[Boonluck grunting]
-[Lek grunts]
-[Jan screams] Darling!
[Lek grunts]
[thunder rumbles]
[Earl] Sai. Sai.
The fortune-teller's prediction
for my daughter
will come true today.
-Please don't. No.
-It will come true with your death,
-farang!
-[Earl] No!
-No!
-[gunshot]
Put the gun down.
[gunshots]
[gunshot continues]
[Boonluck] Jan.
Jan? Jan.
Jan!
Jan!
Jan.
[whimpering]
Oh, Jan, are you all right?
Don't do this to me.
[whining]
Wake now,
you old hag.
Wake up now!
[whimpering]
[eerie music]
[grunts]
Pa, Ma! Save me now!
[screaming]
[grunts]
[traditional music]
[thunder rumbles]
Go.
Take your husband home.
All of the charges have been dropped.
Earl's innocent.
Oh.
Why did you change your mind so quickly?
New evidence.
What about my mother and June?
Your mother ran away.
Where did she go?
How should I know?
She must be scared
after killing an officer.
[sighs]
Ma
Hold on, Inspector.
What about June? Will she be okay?
[Nawat] It's your niece
who saved your husband.
[door closes]
Well done, June.
[light music]
Sai
I love you.
I'm innocent. Please believe me.
[birds chirping]
Look outside.
Look at the sky.
[Earl] We were told that
this massive storm was coming.
I mean,
I thought it was a good idea
to barricade your parents' house.
What the hell was I thinking?
You can't just
blindly believe what people say.
Pay no attention
to all the noise out there.
Make up your own mind.
You know me.
You know
I couldn't have done
any of the things they accused me of.
You know that.
Don't you?
[dramatic music]
One more thing.
Do you remember
what you bought from the market that day?
Yeah, I do.
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
MAGIC MUSHROOM
Is this what you bought?
No. What is it?
[sighs]
Nothing.
It's all right.
You can go. Go home now.
Bye-bye, sir.
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
MAGIC MUSHROOM
THE CASE TURNS UPSIDE DOWN?
[Jan] June is nothing but a burden.
I'm going to talk to the lawyer.
I'll give her up to Tukta
so we can get it over with.
[Jan] Don't tell Sai about this.
She won't let us do it.
[Sai] Ma, how is June doing now?
[Jan] She's doing very well.
'Cause I'm the one who feeds her.
She's their child, but I gotta raise her.
[Sai] Hey.
Don't say things like that, okay?
[both giggling]
Wow, they're so pretty.
What are they, Jamie?
Well, my dad calls them "magic mushrooms."
I saw him eat a handful,
and he went all stupid, mad.
-Like crazy shit.
-[both laugh]
Do you want to try?
Cool.
[Jamie sighs]
[both chuckle]
[both giggling]
Look!
[Jamie] It's like my dad and your mom.
[both laughing]
This soup's out of this world.
[Kai] Nice and spicy.
Mmm.
Mmm.
-It's so damn tasty.
-[Phet] It really is.
Who's there?
[eerie music]
-[grunts]
-[screams]
[Boonluck] Don't take me,
ancestral guardian spirits.
Please spare me!
[engine revs]
[Phet] Oh, no. Power's still off.
Can't see a blood thing.
I'm gonna kill myself
[Kai] Hey, hey, hey,
watch where you're going.
-[Kai] Let's go!
-[Phet] Huh?
-[Kai] Let's go wait in the truck.
-[Phet] Okay.
[Kai] Much better than being in the dark.
[Phet] Mm-hmm.
Come on, Phet. Let's get out of here.
[Kai] Are those legs?
[Phet] Hey. Hey, hey, hey! Stop!
Break, break, break! Hey!
You twat.
[Phet] With you gone,
know this, farang,
Sai will be mine again!
[Phet laughs maniacally]
[laughing continues]
Hey. Hey!

Pa, Ma! Save me now!
[screams]
[labored breath]
[Nawat] Stop.
What's the hurry?
Your phone.
Thank you, sir.
[light music]
POLICE STATION FOR THE PEOPLE
June!
Aunt Sai!
[Nawat] Yes, sir.
We just got the blood test results.
We found a trace of a substance
in all of them.
It's called "psilocybin."
It's psychoactive, hallucinogenic.
Found in magic mushrooms.
Can drive you crazy if you take a lot.
It can also, when eaten with other people,
cause a collective trip.
From testing the food in their stomachs,
mushrooms were detected in the soup
they all had for dinner that night.
I believe that this is the root cause
of everything that occurred.
Yes, sir.
I will write up my report
as soon as possible.
