Goddess Bless You from Death (2025) s01e01 Episode Script

Mom.
What is it? Blood?
Please take care of my baby.
Go now, hurry!
Venerable Grandfather.
Sir.
Please take my grandson under your care.
Your life won't be an easy one.
You must endure.
Make it through whatever comes.
You'll see things you wish you hadn't.
You'll hear,
things you never wanted to hear.
From now on, your name is,
Thup.
25 YEARS LATER
We've found a code 241,
total of seven victims
at the abandoned mall.
Requesting units 30
and 40 to inspect the scene.
Alright, enough.
- I got the call.
- I'll check it out myself.
Yeah, go see who's here.
Excuse me, sir.
This is a crime scene,
outsiders aren't allowed in.
Tle.
This is Inspector Singha
from Special Investigation.
He just got transferred back.
Good to see you, sir.
Hello.
First day and you're already on duty, huh?
- Let's go.
- This way, please.
Sing.
I've called forensics,
they're on their way.
- Open it up.
- Okay.
Bring Sey and Darin here.
Got it.
Sir.
- Told you not to get close while working.
- We're coworkers.
How can I not?
More importantly, I'm your boss, remember?
Damn you.
Kem.
You ever seen anything like this before?
- Seven bodies?
- Yeah.
Never seen seven at once.
- Rough first day for you, Inspector.
- Sey.
I'm serious about this one.
Don't touch anything unless you have to.
- Why not?
- Look around.
Everything here feels off.
What if something bad sticks to you?
You're talking nonsense.
- Oh, Captain Mek. Hello.
- Hello.
You're handling this case yourself?
Not really.
The returning inspector's in charge.
Showing up this late
and keeping me and forensics waiting,
that's not right, is it?
Singha.
Yeah?
How've you been?
I'm good, sir.
Dr. Sey, Dr. Darin,
you may begin the autopsy.
Sing.
Welcome back.
Yeah.
Glad we're working together again.
It's been two years already.
I actually missed this kind of pressure.
Two years and your mouth's still the same,
Darin.
Sing.
Over here, please.
I'll be right back.
I'll leave it to you.
Sure thing.
Sir.
Inspector Singha
is in charge of this case.
Forensics and the medical team
are collecting evidence, sir.
Relax, no need for formalities.
- I'm counting on you.
- Yes, sir.
I've ordered the press to stay back.
And also…
the entire area's been sealed off.
I want this handled
as quietly as possible.
Most importantly,
close this case as fast as you can.
Yes, sir.
- Yes.
- Female, middle-aged.
Average build, fair yellowish skin.
Facial area shows stitched wounds.
A rope was found around the neck.
It's circled twice, forming two loops.
Tied with a non-sliding knot
behind the right ear area.
Come on.
I know you're waiting for
the lab results and the full report.
But can you give me a rough estimate?
From the smell, sir,
this body's been dead
no more than two days.
But the others,
some have been dead
for at least five days.
Each victim,
has been dead for more than 24 hours.
And they didn't all die at once.
So they might not have all died
at the same time.
- Is that right?
- Yes, sir.
No signs of struggle found.
The murder and assault
most likely didn't happen here.
All victims were
probably killed elsewhere.
Then dragged here and hung afterward.
The killer probably
dragged all seven bodies in,
then hoisted them up one by one.
As for the details,
I'll confirm everything again in the lab.
Why go to all that trouble?
Sewing, hanging…
This isn't something ordinary.
I think…
it's definitely connected
to the supernatural.
Or maybe…
- ghosts.
- Darin.
You're talking nonsense.
What kind of ghost kills people,
stitches their eyes and mouths shut,
then hangs them up?
The killer's human, for sure.
Still, Sing, this case,
it really feels strange.
I felt it the moment I walked in.
And after seeing the bodies,
I got chills all over.
In all my years as a cop,
I've never seen anything like this.
If it's not some deranged psycho,
then maybe Dr. Darin's right.
You too, Mek?
Stop! Stop!
Police!
I said stop!

Hey!
Who the hell are you?
What are you doing here?
They're all gone, aren't they?
What's gone? Speak clearly.
Want me to get you tested for drugs first?
You high or something?
Cooperate with me, will you?
What were you doing?
You're covered in blood.
How long have you been here?
Are you messing with me?
Come here. Come.
Move.
- What's up, Sing?
- Mek.
Have forensics sweep
the entire building for clues.
And take this guy in for questioning.
But I don't know anything, officer.
Why are you taking me in?
You're the only one found at the scene.
You're covered in blood.
You ran from the police
and dodged every question.
Who else am I supposed
to suspect if not you?
You are a suspect in a murder case.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you do say
may be used as evidence in court.
But I swear, officer,
I had nothing to do
with those hanging bodies!
I didn't do it, I swear.
Facts are what will prove everything.
Take him away.
I didn't do it.
If you didn't, then who did?
Ghosts. Ghosts did it.
- You're saying ghosts did all this?
- Yes.
I really saw a ghost!
What else do you want me to say?
If you're really innocent,
then cooperate with the investigation.
Soon, we'll find out
whether you're a witness, or the killer.
Mek.
Get forensics to collect his DNA.
Got it, sir.
Where are you taking me?
Come on. Why are you arresting me?
Sit down.
Stay here for now.
Until the blood test results come back.
- Uh, officer,
- Hey, hey.
Is there another cell available?
Sit down.
Sit.
Anywhere but this room, please. Please.
You think this is
a five-star hotel? Sit down.
Unlock it.
Alright, give me your hand.
Don't cause any trouble.
Sing, leaving him like that
isn't a good idea.
Honestly, he doesn't look
like a criminal at all.
He might just be unstable or maybe…
You're saying he actually saw a ghost?
Are you crazy?
Itipiso bhagava arahang samma,
Sambuddho vijjācaranasampanno,
Sugato lokavidū anuttaro,
purisadammasārathi
Officer, please help me!
Officer! There's a ghost in here!
Get me out of here!
Officer!
Hey, what's wrong with you?
Please, I'm begging you,
get me out of here.
Anywhere else is fine.
There's a ghost in here!
- Mek.
- Yes, sir.
Take him away.
Please, officer, put me somewhere else!
If you can't wait quietly
for the lab results,
then go in for questioning.
- Bring him in.
- Move.
This video will be used as evidence
for the suspect's investigation record.
Thamawat Santasakol.
Aged 25, from Sisaket.
How long have you been in Bangkok?
Where's your family?
Uh…
It's kind of a long story.
You think I'm asking for fun?
Answer me.
I grew up in a temple.
I've lived with a monk since I was a kid.
After he passed away,
I moved to Bangkok
to work and support myself.
What kind of work?
I'm a freelance illustrator.
Then what were you doing in the mall?
Illustrators normally
don't just wander into
abandoned malls at night to draw, right?
If I tell you,
you'll just think I'm crazy again.
But I'm telling the truth.
Deciding what's true, that's my job.
Just give me your alibi.
So what were you doing
at the abandoned mall?
A few nights ago,
I had a dream
that something terrible
would happen there.
It felt so real.
You're saying a ghost sent you that dream?
But…
the dream I saw,
it felt like I'd seen it before.
So I took a taxi and went there.
And then?
After I got there,
I walked inside.
And I saw a tree, just like in my dream…
and seven bodies hanging from it.
If you really saw the bodies,
and you were that scared,
why didn't you leave?
Just seeing them hanging there,
I completely lost it.
And then there were…
Uh…
wandering spirits.
Phut-thang kancha, Tham-mang kancha…
That's when I ran into you, Inspector.
Right now,
you're a suspect in a mass murder case.
If you keep talking nonsense like this,
- there's no way you'll get out of it.
- But I swear I didn't do it.
- How can you accuse me of that?
- Without solid evidence,
I can't release you.
Take him back to his cell.
I'm not going back in that room.
Sir, please, I'm not going back in there!
You're so damn fussy.
Someone hanged themselves
in that room, right?
Whoever stays in there,
ends up hanging themselves too.
I don't want to be next.
That room,
someone really did hang themselves there.
And every suspect kept in it
ended up hanging themselves too.
SPECIAL INVESTIGATION INSPECTOR'S ROOM
POLICE CAPTAIN SINGHA WETARAK
Stay in here for now.
- Don't cause any trouble, got it?
- Yes, sir.
I promise I'll stay quiet.
I won't go anywhere
until the blood results are out.
The only reason I put you here,
is so you don't bother anyone else.
Yes, sir.
And… what happens next?
You can only hold me for 48 hours, right?
So you know the law too, huh?
Why?
Planning to run?
Why would I run, sir?
I didn't do anything wrong.
You're not the kind of cop
who arrests innocent people, right?
Once the lab results are out, we'll know
if your DNA's on the bodies or not.
Inspector Singha.
Commander Yuth is
asking for you, urgently.
Okay.
The suspect apprehended at the scene.
The report says,
there was only one suspect, right?
Yes, sir.
I've already questioned him.
Most likely just a local from the area.
We might have to
keep him as a witness too.
Listen.
We can't overlook something like that.
He could be the real killer.
I understand, sir.
I'm still questioning him.
But we can't jump to
conclusions without evidence.
Look.
The higher-ups are pressing us now.
They want this case
cleared as soon as possible.
You know who owns the land
at that construction site, right?
And what they plan to build there.
Yes, I'm aware.
So if you're going to investigate
or make an arrest,
do it as fast as you can.
Because right now,
I've already signed the order
for a special task force.
You'll be leading that team.
Yes, sir.
I'll find the real killer
as quickly as possible.
I think you already know this.
If you can't close this case quickly,
you might end up being transferred back.
Understood, sir.
- Sir.
- Hello.
Sing.
Darin and I just finished the autopsies.
But the DNA results aren't in yet.
You coming here yourself or…?
Yeah, I'll head over.
Both eyes show stitch marks.
Same for the mouth.
Rope marks found around the neck.
Another long, consistent wound was found,
with a diameter of about 0.5 millimeters.
The entire body was covered in bruises.
Estimated time of death:
one to two days ago.
The stitching on the mouth
and eyes was postmortem.
The stitches were messy and uneven.
But there were no signs of struggle.
What's stranger is, we detected GHB,
commonly known as
a date-rape drug, in every victim.
This drug suppresses brain function.
It suppresses respiration,
causing loss of consciousness.
So the drug was used on every victim.
And aside from that,
is there any connection
between the seven victims?
No physical similarities whatsoever.
Different genders, different ages.
But this one is a transgender victim.
Time of death?
We can't determine the exact time yet.
But what we do know
is that every body
died at different times.
All seven were murdered using wire,
and thin rope.
After that, their eyes were sewn shut,
and their mouths too.
Then their bodies
were hanged from the tree.
The killer must've been very strong,
to do all that alone.
At this point, I'm not even sure
how many killers we're dealing with.
And the blood-stained shirt,
from the suspect at the scene?
The DNA doesn't match any of the victims.
It's his own blood.
Wake up.
Comfortable, huh?
Wake up.
Oh, you're back already?
Put your arm on the table.
Or do you want that wound infected?
Give me your hand.
Your hand.
You got a nickname?
Thup, sir.
Thup?
Fits a temple kid just right.
So, you always
talk about ghosts like this?
I don't like talking about them.
I actually hate ghosts.
But if I say that,
you'll just scold me again.
So tell me,
you think you've seen ghosts since birth?
Didn't you say
you don't believe in ghosts?
What if I did?
When did you start seeing them?
Since as far back as I can remember.
When I was living with the elder monk,
I couldn't see any ghosts.
I only started seeing them
after he passed away.
Why don't you wear an amulet?
Do you worship anything?
People scared of ghosts usually do, right?
It doesn't help anymore.
Not since the elder monk passed.
I've lost all hope since then.
Could you stop acting so pathetic?
Ow.
Why are you tensing up?
I'm just putting on ointment.
I'm not tense.
I'm cold.
Sir.
Sing.
Black coffee, no sugar, as usual.
Ah, thanks.
It's your first day back at work,
and you already got a big case.
You're not thinking of quitting and
transferring back to Prachin Buri, right?
I never quit. Not my style.
Good thing you're still here, though.
Would've been tough without you.
I'm glad you're back too, sir.
Working with you
always gets my adrenaline up.
Still as cheeky as ever, huh?
Just a little, sir.
Hey, Sing.
That taxi driver
said exactly what Thup said.
His statement and the DNA results match.
So that kid, Thup,
is just a witness in this case.
Yeah.
But right now,
where the hell do we start finding clues?
Or maybe it's a ghost,
just like Thup said.
You want me to write in the report
that everything happened
because of a ghost?
Yes?
Sir, it's loud in your office!
That kid Thup's freaking out again!
You'd better come quick!
Okay.
Buddhang ganja,
Dhammang ganja, Sanghang ganja
Narara nacha, Buddha khunnang,
Dhamma khunnang, Sangha khunnang
Please don't come closer, I'm scared!
Don't hurt me!
Get out!
Go away!
Thup!
Thup, it's me!
Inspector…
The ghost's about to break my neck!
If you don't let go of me,
I'll be the one to break your neck.
What happened this time?
- Why were you yelling?
- The ghost came for me.
I'm serious, sir.
It's right there by the window.
You're saying all this
was the ghost's doing?
Stop making up stories.
And stay quiet.
Or I'll cuff you again.
Sir, I think…
I can't stay in this room anymore.
What now?
You won't stay in that room,
and you can't stay in mine either.
So what do you want exactly?
Maybe…
it's not about the place.
It's more about me.
Then…
can I stay close to you, sir?
Please, I'm begging you.
Please.
When I'm with you, the ghost disappears.
You're my talisman, like the elder monk.
Can I stay with you too, sir?
Me? A holy thing?
I'm human.
I don't know.
But I think ghosts must fear you.
Legally speaking,
I'm still presumed innocent.
The police have no evidence against me.
You're a cop, so protect the innocent.
Sing.
He's right about that.
Also, the DNA test confirmed
it doesn't match any body.
I'm warning you.
If you're coming with me,
don't be a nuisance.
Don't cause trouble.
And most importantly,
don't even think of running.
Got it?
Yes, of course, sir.
Helmet on.
Come here.
Get on.
Or do you want me to carry you?
Uh, no need, sir.
Hold on to me.
Hold tight.
If you fall off,
I'm not taking responsibility.
You sleep downstairs.
There's only one bed upstairs.
You can take the sofa, right?
If you let me sleep on the floor,
I'd still be fine at this point.
You and that mouth of yours.
Give me that.
Wait here. I'll be back.
Lights are broken. Deal with it for now.
Go shower and change.
You look like a stray dog.
Thanks for taking me in, even temporarily.
This isn't a shelter, kid.
Thank you, sir.
Call me Singha.
Huh?
From now on, call me Singha.
Hearing "sir"
outside the station's annoying.
Alright.
Singha.
Bathroom's over there.
No wonder.
When I'm near Singha, the ghost vanishes.
It's because of you.
Please protect me too, my lord.
Thup!
Whoa.
Thup. What the hell are you doing?
Uh, I'm sorry, sir. I mean, Singha!
I didn't mean to.
You blew the power?
I just…
plugged in the fish tank and it shorted.
Then the whole house went dark.
I told you not to cause trouble.
I'm sorry.
But please don't yell at me yet.
Shouldn't you put some clothes on first?
Mind your own business.
I'm not cold.
I could stay shirtless all day.
But I'm cold just looking at you.
I told you to take a shower. So do it.
It's annoying when you don't listen.
And one more thing,
I didn't ask you to renovate my house.
I just don't want to be a burden.
Can I at least help with chores?
So you won't kick me out.
No need.
That kind of work, I save it for my wife.
You my wife or something?
And lastly,
stop causing trouble.
Go to sleep.
Singha.
If I see something,
can I go upstairs to you?
Don't even think about bothering me.
Ah…
Wow.
Thup.
Thup.
You sleep like the dead, huh?
Who told you to
act like it's your own house?
Thup.
Thup, wake up.
Thup.
Oh.
Good morning, Singha.
Get dressed already.
You sleep all over the place.
Here, get dressed.
Wear my stuff for now.
I was planning to wake up early
and make you breakfast.
But I kinda overslept.
Don't bother.
I might end up poisoned
and hanging from a tree.
Honestly,
I seem way more likable than you are.
Cut the whining already.
After you, Singha.
Singha, wait here for a sec, okay?
Don't go anywhere.
I'll just grab my clothes real quick.
What are you, three?
Scared I'll leave you?
Just a second.
Yeah.
Let's go.
How long are you planning
to stay at my place?
It's temporary, not permanent.
Better extra than not enough, right?
Hurry up,
we've got a lot of stops to make.
Aren't we going back to your house?
We are.
But we need to stop somewhere first.
CRIME SCENE - KEEP OU
Why are we here?
We're reconstructing the scene.
Show me
what exactly went down yesterday.
Thup.
I'm trying to help you here.
Even if there's no victim DNA on you,
you're still the only one who was here.
You can't fully clear yourself
as a suspect.
So what do I have to do
to finally be free from this?
If you don't wanna be
the scapegoat, start talking.
Alright then.
But Singha, you have to let me hold you.
What?
Hold me?
Because ghosts are scared of you.
I can show you what happened.
But let me hold onto you for a bit.
Ghosts fear me, huh?
Alright.
Do whatever you need to do.
Uh…
I walked in from that direction.
Then I came across this tree.
It looked exactly like in my dream.
There were…
incense sticks, candles,
and trays scattered everywhere.
When I looked up,
I saw seven bodies
hanging right here, Singha.
Then…
after that…
What is it?
There's…
Thup, I don't have all day.
Singha…
I think this place used to be a cemetery.
A cemetery?
What cemetery are you talking about?
Yesterday,
when I first met you here,
I saw…
so many wandering spirits around.
What does that have to do with anything?
This place is overflowing
with spiritual energy.
I'm afraid that
the bodies dumped here…
were part of a ritual sacrifice.
A sacrifice to feed spirits?
To gain even more power.
Usually, the people who do this
practice dark magic or witchcraft.
They make deals with ghosts,
so the ghosts do what they want.
Wait.
Make deals with ghosts?
You're saying they sacrifice bodies
to command the spirits?
Yes.
- What is it?
- Sing.
Get back to the station now.
Something big's happened.
- Okay.
- Alright.
What I'd like to say is that the police
are doing everything we can on this case.
We'd like everyone to trust
that this case isn't anything special,
nothing strange,
unlike what the news has been spinning.
Then to keep the reports consistent,
who's leading this case, sir?
Since this is a major investigation,
the person overseeing it
has to be the best in our unit.
- Oh.
- I see.
Who's that?
- Who is it?
- Who?
- Oh…
- Inspector King.
Why Inspector King?
Therefore, I've appointed Inspector King,
Lieutenant Colonel
Wachira Kongthamphiphat,
as the lead investigator
for this special case.
So that means Inspector King
will handle the whole case?
Right?
Have you found any new evidence?
- Yes, any leads?
- Yeah.
Or do you have any direction
for the investigation, Inspector?
Anything new to share?
‪"PSID PRESS CONFERENCE:
‪CASE OF SEVEN HANGING BODIES"
Close this case as fast as possible.
That's why headquarters sent
Inspector King to assist.
Our unit can handle this ourselves.
So what connects these seven victims?
There's no connection at all.
Then what's the motive behind it?
This looks like a black magic case to me.
It's called a serial murder case, genius.
Help.
Fifteen years ago in Sisaket,
ten years ago in Phang Nga,
five years ago in Chiang Mai,
and now Bangkok.
The reason I let him stay here
was for his own safety.
