Goddess Bless You from Death (2025) s01e09 Episode Script

Vijitmawan, Mae Sue for Sunday.
Last time, the Sunday victim's ritual
was interrupted.
This man might be the next victim.
Someone sent a Tukta Siakaban to Darin.
It was hidden inside a figure.
So you came to check this spot
because a ghost told Thup?
I need to know how he chooses victims.
Should we go to where it began?
We might find the killer's origin.
Then we might figure out how he thinks.
Even though he's been dead
a long time, his spirit is still vicious.
He extended his own life improperly.
Taking other people's lives
to extend his own
kept him from being reborn.
If we go in,
you’ll be okay, right?
I’ll be fine.
I’ve got you here.
That means I’m safe.
Thup.
Thup.
Can you wait for me outside?
I won't let you be alone.
I’ll be fine.
Trust me.
If anything happens, call me.
You've got some nerve coming in here.
If you come in, you die.
Thup. Thup!
Thup, what happened?
Singha, don’t come in.
I’m fine.
But if you come in,
everything we worked so hard for
will be wasted.
Please trust me.
I’ll wait right here.
But if you don’t come out in 30 minutes,
I’m breaking the door down
and shooting the ghost.

Why are you here?
You’re not welcome here.
I didn’t mean to disturb you.
I just want to ask about
the ritual that sacrificed seven bodies.
My craft.
Why do you want to know?
What does the one who did it want?
You already know
that everything here
comes with a price.
Make an offering.
It’s a life-extension ritual,
taking life force
from those sacrificed.
Once it starts, it can’t stop.
Someone performed
this sacrifice in Sisaket
15 years ago, right?
I came here with the elder monk.
Not 15 years ago.
The first time
was 25 years ago.
SISAKET, 2000 A.D.
That cop chased a thief into my house.
He was stabbed by my enchanted blade.
That’s when it took hold.
That cop never realized
his life was already doomed.
Hey, calm down, dear.
Let me take a look
at the wound. Stay still.
You're possessed by dark magic.
These enchanted things
are drawn to vengeful minds.
They'll come to take your life
within three days, seven days.
And not just you.
Your son too.
Help me.
How do I fix this?
There is a way.
But will you do everything I say?
What did you do?!
- Let me go!
- Chaba!
Besides making offerings to ghosts,
to extend life,
the ritual also forces the ghosts
to do what they're commanded.
They can’t be reborn.
The eyes were stitched
so the spirit couldn’t see or search.
The mouth was stitched,
so it couldn’t curse anyone.
Who was that cop?
He wasn’t from Sisaket.
You’re destined to find him.
Because if you don’t,
everyone will die.
Thup.
What happened?
Thup!
What happened to your hand?
Which ghost did this to you?
I’ll go and shoot it dead one more time.
Calm down, Singha.
No one hurt me.
I did this myself.
You promised me you’d be fine
once you went in.
I had to do it.
But now I know the truth
about what the killer really wants.
Don’t worry about work.
Worry about yourself.
Go get the wound treated at the hospital.
Let's go.
- Hello, Dr. Darin.
- Hello.
Here to pick up your lab results?
Please wait a moment.
You can sit inside first.
Thank you.
Hey, are you doing okay?
Why do you ask?
You don’t look very well.
Have you been getting enough sleep?
Ever since I got the Tukta Siakaban,
I haven’t been sleeping well.
Why?
Do I really look that bad?
It’s pretty obvious
you’re not getting enough sleep.
To be honest,
I don’t really believe in
this kind of thing either.
But I’ve heard elders back home say
when someone’s weak or worn down,
bad things get to them more easily.
No need to worry about Darin.
I’m taking good care of him.
I saw Kem and the other sergeants
heading to the temple
for a holy water blessing
for peace of mind.
I don’t know if it actually helps.
Why don’t you try it?
No. we're busy.
Doctors have a lot of work.
And cops don’t?
He's just here for the lab results.
Okay.
Good. Then I can head back quickly,
so I’m not in the way
of people around here.
Honestly,
if the Tukta Siakaban
is still bothering you,
maybe try going to a temple
or making merit.
It’s better than doing nothing.
Inspector,
has Inspector Sing
contacted you from Sisaket yet?
Not yet, Sarge.
Am I interrupting something?
I’ve got something important
to discuss with Inspector King.
Let's go.
When are you finally going to wrap up
this human sacrifice case?
How long are you going to let
the people upstairs stay worried?
I… I think it’ll be soon, Dad.
You know how embarrassed I am,
having transferred my own son here
and then having to answer everyone
why the head of the investigation
can’t get the job done?
Send all the information
on the seven-body sacrifice
to my people.
I’ll personally step in
and take over this case.
You can’t interfere in everything
and force it your way.
I’m not interfering.
And if you and your old friend
still can’t get anything done,
this is what you’ll face.
Thank you very much.
Oh?
Hey, lunch break’s only an hour.
Where did you sneak off to?
Well,
I had an urgent family matter.
Sorry I didn’t report it by the book.
It’s fine.
Work’s not busy anyway.
But that "urgent matter,"
you need any help with it?
No. I’ve handled it already.
From now on,
there shouldn’t be anything
to worry about.
You must’ve messed with something bad.
That’s why the ghost
won’t leave you alone.
It wants to take you with it.
But I don’t want to go.
Could you help send it away?
It won’t leave easily.
You need to spread goodwill,
build a lot of merit.
Then it’ll let go away.
It might not be just you who is in danger.
But the people you love
and those close to you
could be dragged in too.
Well?
Want me to help run the lab results?
This case is going into surgery tomorrow.
Forensics already sent the evidence.
But can you help run the DNA
of this victim?
- Sure.
- Okay.
Let’s do it.
‪FORENSIC DEPARTMENT STAFF ROOM
‪PUSH
The injection’s nowhere near the heart.
Why were you screaming so loud?
I’m fragile and delicate, you know.
I'm not tough like you.
Serves you right.
Who told you to slice your own hand?
I didn’t do it for fun.
I did it to get information.
If it ever comes to offering blood
to ghosts,
you don’t have to do it again.
I don’t want you getting hurt in my place.
I did it to protect you.
I didn’t do it for no reason.
Sit here and wait.
I’ll go pay.
Can you tell me anything more?
He has a sick son.
His ritual
wasn't just for himself,
but for his son too.
How pathetic.
Excuse me.
Do you have a pediatric department here?
Yes. We’re the first hospital in Sisaket
to have a dedicated pediatric department.
How many years
has this hospital been open?
Over 20 years now.
Singha,
do you remember what I told you
about the shaman saying the cop involved
had a sick son?
I already had local police
look into that cop.
I think we should try asking
for his child’s medical history here.
That works.
I’m Inspector Singha.
I’d like to request cooperation
to review pediatric patient records
from about 25 years ago.
I’ll need to consult the director first.
And you’ll need to notify
local authorities to notify us tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?
- Yes.
- Yes, thank you.
- You’re welcome.
Then,
let’s stay in town tonight,
so we can finish this tomorrow.
Singha,
you’re not planning anything, right?
Planning what?
What?
Quit acting like an artist.
Be a cop already.
Well, my boyfriend’s a cop.
I’ve gotta be smart enough to keep up.
Who’s your boyfriend?
I already told you.
Let's finish the case first.
We’ll talk after.
Okay.
Finish it first.
Then it’ll be clear. Oh?
What’s wrong with him?
Hello.
Do you have any rooms available tonight?
Yes. What type of room would you like?
- We’ll take--
- Any type is fine.
But we’ll need two rooms.
Sure, no problem.
One room is enough.
We understand each other now.
That we can take separate rooms.
We’re here for work.
The government budget isn’t big enough
to split rooms.
Sorry, one room then.
Alright, one room with a queen-size bed.
One bed is fine.
It gets cold at night.
Sleeping together keeps us warm.
But I like sleeping alone.
You’ll see.
Here’s your key card.
Thank you.
Could they be a couple having a fight?
If we catch the killer,
does that make us official?
You really care that much
about being official or not?
Being together is between two people.
What others think
doesn’t really matter, right, Thup?
If there wasn’t someone else,
it wouldn’t matter.
But you do have someone else.
Inspector King.
Thup.
I’ve been clear with you all along.
And you’re still being possessive.
I am.
There’s a reason to be.
No idea when he’ll try to take you back.
Listen to me.
Whether he can take me back or not,
that’s on me.
It’s got nothing to do with him.
You drove a long way.
Your back must hurt.
Turn around.
Turn around.
Thanks.
You need to take better care of your back.
Good thing I brought this.
That’s about it during work trips.
Are you expecting someone?
I need to talk.
My dad said if nothing changes,
he’ll come down and run the case himself.
So I came to tell you.
Is Big Pong going after me again?
Go tell your dad
to have some shame in front of the public.
I won’t let your dad frame Thup again.
After all this time,
you still don’t know my dad?
He never listens to anyone.
Because of people like your dad,
good cops have it hard.
So what have you got so far in Sisaket?
What I found is,
the person who studied dark arts
with the shaman who knew
the seven-body sacrifice ritual
was a former local cop,
and he was linked to past
black magic cases too.
He was a cop.
If he’s really the culprit,
he’d know how to cover his tracks.
That could also explain
why he’s been so hard to find.
He has a sick son too.
Probably around my age.
I think the reason he performed the ritual
was to save his son.
Hold on.
The information you got,
is it reliable?
It’s the best we’ve got right now.
Tomorrow I’ll dig deeper at the hospital.
Good. I'm with you on that.
Hospitals always keep patient records.
Can you issue a warrant for me?
So I don’t have to explain too much.
Patient information is confidential.
I can issue the warrant.
But I’m not letting you go alone, Singha.
I’m going with you.
Investigating is a cop’s job.
Not whatever you’re doing,
dragging civilians into it.
Tomorrow, 7 a.m. Don’t be late.
I didn’t ask him to come.
He came on his own.
I didn’t say anything about you.
Why are you getting defensive?
Who’s defensive?
I didn’t do anything wrong.
I know it’s work.
You two
still have to work together anyway.
I’ll try to be more mature.
Very good.
That’s the right attitude.
But I’ll bet a million,
Inspector King still likes you.
Don’t get insecure.
Whatever King thinks is his problem.
This is between us.
It’s good that he showed up.
He can help me get the job done.
He may look like that,
but he’s got skills.
And another thing, if we close the case,
you and I can be official.
The way you want.
Are you serious?
Dead serious.
I’ll even post it online
seven days, seven nights.
But…
tonight you have to sleep with me,
on the bed.
No way.
Save your energy for work tomorrow.
I’ll sleep on the floor.
- Where are you going?
- I’ll sleep somewhere else.
My arm hurts.
Ouch, my wound.
Hey.
What?
What are you doing?
Apply it like this.
Like this?
Uh-huh.
You look better.
You actually use the cream I recommended.
If we're about to go public,
I’ve gotta look good, right?
Go get ready.
You’ve got ten minutes.
Don’t be late.
Roger that, Inspector.
Let’s go.
Right on time, Singha.
Same buffer as always.
I’m not giving you a reason to yell at me.
Is that the same shampoo scent?
I know you like this one, Singha.
So I packed it myself.
Singha doesn’t care
about little details like that.
I’m the one who looks after them.
What about the hospital?
The warrant’s already been sent.
But I still need to confirm
with the director.
Medical records from 25 years ago
are on this shelf
and in the inner section.
If you have any questions, Officer,
feel free to ask me. I’ll be around.
Alright, thank you.
Let’s move.
Thup.
What’s wrong?
Nothing.
I must’ve imagined it.
Found it.
Let’s go.
"Anuphap Boonprim."
Admitted with SLE,
an autoimmune disease from birth.
This child
has medical records only up to age 3.
After that, there are no records here.
If we count from when he disappeared,
it lines up with 25 years ago.
The time of the first incident in Sisaket.
And he’s the only one around my age.
Excuse me, over here, please.
Yes, Officer?
Anuphap Boonprim.
I’d like to know where his parents are.
An address, anything at all.
Can you recall anything noteworthy?
Even small details would help.
Everything matters now.
Boonprim?
Sounds familiar. There used to be a nurse
with that last name.
People called her
Chaba.
Give me a moment.
Chaba?
Here it is.
She left 25 years ago.
How do you remember?
It was a long time ago.
Actually, nurses who work locally
rarely want to move.
Everyone wants to stay in their hometown.
But Chaba,
she suddenly owed the hospital a large
amount in medical bills.
Then she just disappeared.
What’s wrong?
This woman…
looks just like the ghost
I’ve been seeing.
Do you have any information
about people she knew?
Family or anyone at all.
In this province or elsewhere.
Everyone knew
her husband was a police officer.
He worked at the city police station,
if I recall correctly.
But no one at the hospital knew him.
Thank you very much.
Thanks again.
Hello?
Aunt Srijan?
Okay, Uncle. I’ll head there now.
What happened?
Uncle Chai called. He said Aunt Srijan
had an accident.
I need to go check on them.
- I’m coming with you.
- You should stay and work.
I can call a ride myself.
You sure?
Why are you worrying about Thup?
He’s local.
You need to
keep digging into this with me.
That’s true.
You should go with Inspector King.
If anything happens, call me right away.
Okay.
I’m Inspector Wachira,
and this is Inspector Singha,
from the Special Investigation Division.
We’d like to ask for your cooperation.
Hello, Inspector. How can I help?
We’re looking for some information
about a case
that happened here 25 years ago.
The ritual sacrifice
of seven bodies on a tree.
A case that old?
No one around now would remember it, sir.
All the senior officers from back then
have transferred out.
That leaves only…
Lieutenant Ket, really.
He should know something.
But you’ll have to ask him yourself.
He’s a bit unstable these days.
He’s currently suspended from duty.
He’s over there
in the records storage room.
I’m Lieutenant Ket Nongbueng, Inspector!
Just call me King.
And this is Sing.
Inspector King. Inspector Sing.
I won’t take much of your time.
I just want to ask you something.
Do you know the husband of this nurse?
He used to be a cop here.
There were tons
of cops back then. I don’t know him.
Take a closer look, Lieutenant.
Otherwise, it won’t just be us
coming down here.
I’ll report this to HQ
and request
an inspection of operations here.
Wait, Inspector.
My eyesight hasn’t been great lately.
May I take another look?
Pannipha Boonprim.
Does that name ring a bell?
Pannipha Boonprim?
She was Lieutenant Atikun’s wife.
Atikun?
Yes. He used to be stationed here.
I was under his command back then.
I was just a sergeant at the time.
I’ll find the files for you, Inspector.
Excuse me.
You think it's the guy Thup mentioned?
Where did I put it?
Please wait a bit.
Forty-seven. Forty-eight.
Found it.
Here.
Atikun.
Where is he now?
Lieutenant Atikun died a long time ago.
What happened, Uncle Chai?
Your aunt wasn’t careful.
She fell down the stairs.
I was being careful.
But this was really a ghost haunting
in broad daylight.
How could anyone be careful against that?
Thup.
I don’t know if your uncle
went somewhere bad recently
and brought something bad back with him.
Maybe…
it’s my fault
for getting involved.
It’s not related.
It was probably just her bad luck.
Don’t overthink it.
Hey.
But I…
really saw a female ghost.
A female ghost?
The ghost you saw…
was it the one
with a mouth ripped wide open like this?
Yes. That’s the one. Exactly that one.
That one.
Back then, he was arresting a suspect
and got stabbed,
then the wound got infected.
No matter how it was treated,
it never healed.
We only heard the news later,
when his wife came to say he had died.
She asked us to send money
for the funeral expenses.
What about the seven-body
sacrifice case in Sisaket?
Do you remember it?
A case that big,
there’s no way anyone would forget it.
But before we found the bodies,
several days had already passed.
No relatives came forward at all.
They were afraid of being cursed.
So we handled them as unclaimed bodies.
Alright then, Lieutenant.
I’d like every piece
of information you have,
in case it can be used as confirmation.
There isn’t any.
Back then, the case files were just paper.
It’s been over 20 years.
If anything existed,
termites would’ve eaten it all by now.
- Nothing at all?
- King.
Inspector. Inspector!
Inspector.
I found more documents.
I found more documents.
‪ROYAL THAI POLICE
‪MONTHUT BOONKINGKLAI
Took me long enough.
Thanks.
So now,
you’re hiding out
with your aunt and uncle all day.
Won’t your boyfriend be upset?
Sing and I aren’t boyfriends yet.
Not yet?
That day, I misspoke.
But I didn’t see him deny it either.
I’m hoping for that too.
I think I’ll head back now.
I don’t want to stay with you too long.
You might get hurt because of me again.
Why would you say that, Thup?
When you come see us, we’re really happy.
Alright.
I’ll get going, Uncle.
- Goodbye.
- Don't forget to pray.
- Pray, okay?
- Yes.
- Take care.
- Yes.
Honestly, I wasn’t that close with Khuean.
I’d only been posted here
for less than a year
before he went on the run.
On the run?
For assaulting his wife and child?
I don’t really know the details.
But I heard that…
Khuean got into a fight with his wife,
lost control, and accidentally killed her
right there at home.
Then he fled.
That’s why there’s no data in the system.
Why would it be like that?
Didn’t the victim’s family
press charges at all?
By the time anyone realized she was dead,
weeks had already passed.
Besides,
his wife was from another area,
and she had no relatives.
Have you heard any rumors
about where Khuean might be hiding?
I heard that
the reason Khuean fought with his wife
was because he was having
an affair with that nurse, Chaba.
If you ask where he’d go into hiding,
he probably ran off with Chaba.
I think
even though Lieutenant Ket is a drunkard,
the information he's given is real.
I’ll have Mek go question Khuean
about the nurse named Chaba.
Hello?
Singha.
I’m about to leave the hospital now.
- Are you back at the room yet?
- Not yet. I’m heading back.
Thup. Thup.
Strange. Before killing all seven victims,
the first body should’ve been
too decomposed already to hang, right?
The killer must have
a way to preserve them.
This ghost
has been protecting me all along.
Do you know who it is, Uncle?
What Khuean said just now
sounded like Atikun isn’t dead yet.
You have to come with me.
Didn’t I tell you?
There’s no place here for a cop like you.
Just watch me.
Aren’t you going to ask
what we were just talking about?
I won’t ask.
I trust you.
