Dalah: Death and the Flowers (2025) s01e04 Episode Script

1
We've got the evidence.
Why bother planning any further?
Let's just go straight to the police.
Well…
This involves the Uathepa.
If we go to the police,
we might end up in trouble ourselves.
Your family is quite influential.
I'm sorry.
You're not the one
who should be apologizing.
But… he is your boyfriend.
Can we really make a difference?
The evidence from Pam
leaves no room for doubt.
And we owe Bee our thanks
for her sacrifice.
We have to do whatever it takes
-to get society to condemn the Uathepa.
-But…
Don’t be afraid, Bee.
I'll protect you.
DALAH: DEATH AND THE FLOWERS
We're moving forward in our investigation
based on the available evidence,
and we are very close
to finding the perpetrator.
I'd like to take this opportunity
to urge Dr. Narisa Tangsinsup
to turn yourself in to the authorities
to prove your innocence.
If anyone is harboring her
or detaining her against her will,
you are breaking the law.
So, if you're watching this,
-release her immediately.
-Sir?
-Go ahead.
-So, Dr. Narisa is another victim?
She's been kidnapped, hasn't she?
We can’t confirm that yet.
Permission to interrupt, sir.
Sir.
Someone wants to identify the offender.
Please, sir.
Take it from here.
-Sir!
-Sir, wait!
-What's happening, sir?
-Don't do that!
-Sir, please wait!
-Sir!
-Sir!
-Sir!
-What's happening?
-Sir!
I've known from the start.
That woman hates Uncle Ohm.
They had a big fight once
and she almost called off the wedding.
But he wouldn’t let her.
What did they fight about?
Uncle Ohm was using Narisa.
I'm telling you,
Uncle Ohm is a fake.
Our family propped him up
as some respectable figure,
but he's actually a cad.
He did shitty things to countless women,
and Narisa found out.
-Off the record.
-What?
You said you wanted the truth.
Well, this is the truth.
Keep typing.
You think Ohm’s death was out of jealousy?
Sure it was!
And revenge, perhaps.
He used Narisa to polish his image.
Polish his image?
Yeah, make himself
seem respectable, so cool.
His so-called feminist campaign,
his punch lines, and all that.
One last thing I want you to think about.
His fans screamed for him
without even knowing
he didn’t come up
with any of those clever quotes.
Narisa was his brain…
…and his wallet.
But in reality, she did it for herself.
She backed Ohm to push through the law,
so she could build a shopping mall
over Uathepa Square,
raking in billions,
without anyone daring to stop her.
All because she wanted
to prove herself to her father.
She thought
helping him
would put her in the limelight,
or at least get her some credit.
But not at all.
We’ve talked about this.
You can run this campaign
only after the party accepts me.
And the credit needs to be in my name.
You can’t claim it as your own.
And what’s this?
You said it once on stage,
then again in an interview?
You know what?
I didn’t even come up with that quote.
I took it from Margaret Thatcher.
-Risa, when a man talks "feminism"…
-Wait.
it’s seen as cool.
But when a woman says it,
it's hysterical.
Shit!
Lately, she’s been
living with him in hatred,
but she stuck through the engagement
because she wanted Uathepa Square.
Guess she couldn’t take it anymore.
That night,
it must’ve been her last straw.
Uncle Ohm started insulting Narisa,
accusing her of trying
to ruin his political career
and his family’s reputation.
He pushed her.
What the hell, Pam?
Why did you mess with my girlfriend?
Fuck your fake feminism!
I did respect her. I let her on top.
But she was too weak to ride me.
Fuck you!
Why don’t you ask her
if she prefers your cold finger
or my warm rod?
I tried to stop them,
and that’s how I got these cuts.
Narisa did it.
Kris told me a completely different story.
And you believe him?
Kris might have
something going on with Narisa.
"Something"?
Pam, do you know where Narisa is?
Useful information.
Pam.
Pam!
What did she say?
She said Risa did it.
So, if we find her,
Pam could be our eyewitness.
But I’m not convinced.
Pam seems suspicious.
Why would she lie?
Beats me.
But I’m confident we’ll find Risa soon.
Ekapop.
From the clip I got from the hotel
and from what Pam told me,
Risa’s not the only suspect.
There could be others,
especially if Pam’s claims about
Ohm’s history with women are true.
Don’t listen to that girl.
She's the family’s black sheep,
always causing trouble.
Just now, you said Pam wouldn’t lie.
Dammit, Montree.
You know how men are.
Ohm wasn’t any worse
than the rest of them.
You’d better focus on finding Risa.
Got it?
Back to the murder
of Mr. Anusorn "Ohm" Uathepa,
it looks like "Big Montree" is trying
his best to track down the perpetrator.
-From a political standpoint…
-Hey.
Have you been following
the Anusorn murder story?
Hey!
-Yes?
-Such a pity.
Anusorn was still so young,
don’t you think?
Here.
Take it.
Believe me, now that Montree is in charge,
he’ll catch the killer real soon.
You know Chief Montree?
Of course.
He’s handled
all kinds of high-profile cases.
Like that "Ma’am X" case. Heard of it?
That was almost 30 years ago.
A Western woman died,
and there was an X-shaped cut on her face.
Once Montree got involved,
he found the killer right away.
Ma'am X…
Uathepa Street.
"Ikebana" derives from
the Japanese words "ike" or "ikeru",
meaning "to keep alive" or "arrange",
and "hana", which means "flowers".
Together, it means arranging flowers
or giving life to them.
Originally…
Hey.
Japanese monks
arranged flowers for religious purposes.
-Later…
-Come, quick.
And later…
Miss, shouldn’t you talk
to your boyfriend first?
Otherwise, we won’t get anywhere
with the lesson.
Delivery boy.
Not boyfriend.
Yeah…
Please excuse me.
You can start
with your flower arrangement.
Delivery boy?
Delivery boy.
Hasn’t your 6-star hotel
taught you any manners?
But this is important.
Nothing is important
when you're arranging flowers.
But…
Come.
No, I’d rather not sit.
Hi.
-Miss--
-Centuries later,
flowers took on a bigger role
in various rituals
and became a symbol of faith.
Miss Dalah, excuse me--
They became part of people's lives,
in ceremonies and traditional practices.
I told you this is very important.
You have a death wish?
The essence of Ikebana's way
reflects the profound interplay
between mighty nature
and humans, mere cogs
in its expansive machinery.
You might wonder
how such a concept
is conveyed through flower arranging.
We do this by creating a dialogue
among the various elements in the vase.
Try to angle them towards one another
or set them apart.
Explore different heights.
Leave some spaces empty.
Ultimately,
you're not just arranging flowers.
You're imitating nature itself.
Remember when I told you
that the essence of flower arranging
is to give life to flowers?
What does that really mean?
It means
we're giving life to what is dying
or already dead through our arrangements.
In other words,
we're prolonging the beauty of what
has passed for as long as we can.
For you, miss.
This Sarath guy is cute.
He kind of suits you.
You think "cute" suits me?
I'd like to take this opportunity
-Well, he is useful.
-to urge Dr. Narisa Tangsinsup…
Useful for your work or your heart?
…to turn yourself in to the authorities.
If anyone is harboring her
or detaining her against her will,
you are breaking the law.
So, if you're watching this, release her--
Your friend is really good at hiding.
My neighbors are total busybodies,
but no one’s caught wind of anything.
Narisa’s trying to figure out what to do.
She won’t bother you
with your room much longer.
It’s not a bother.
It’s hard to find
high-quality tenants anyway.
Well, for now,
I’ll just keep an eye out for her.
Keep an eye out?
Tada!
My dear Jerd proudly presents…
There’s still so much I don’t know
about you and Jerd.
Well, Jerd’s a bit of a tech geek.
And here comes our protagonist.
That's sooner than I expected.
Miss Risa.
It's me.
MISS DALAH
-Noomnim, what’s wrong?
-Well.
-Miss Risa…
-I what?
What? Hang up. Don’t make them worry.
It’s a misunderstanding. I’m sorry.
I'm sorry.
Miss Risa,
you almost gave me a heart attack!
Why did you go out? People could see you.
No, they won’t.
Where did you get the cigarette from?
What are you, my warden?
Sorry. I’m just worried.
I found it in this room.
Miss Risa,
you have to take care of yourself.
Everyone’s worried about you.
Not everyone.
Believe me.
That bitch used us.
When will you ever get it, Xinxin?
But Pam,
you’re the one who started all this.
I was just angry back then.
But she used our trauma
as leverage against Uncle Ohm.
She didn’t even care
who’d get hurt the most.
That bitch might actually kill Uncle Ohm.
But Kris said Aunt Risa’s hiding
because she thinks you did it
and wants to talk to us first.
What nerve!
She’s trying to dump the blame on me.
Can’t you see it?
This all happened
because of her selfishness.
Lek!
Lek!
Where the hell are you?
I had to carry these myself.
So, you don’t want to expose
Uncle Ohm anymore?
For what, Xinxin?
We thought speaking out would help,
but look at what’s happened.
Is it supposed to be like this?
Do we all have to destroy ourselves
just to save her?
But if we don’t speak out,
-what about the other women who also--
-He’s fucking dead now!
He can’t hurt anyone anymore.
So…
you’re going to pin everything
on Aunt Risa?
Yes.
Ask Kris where she is
and corner Risa until she confesses
that she's the murderer. End of story.
What if she didn’t do it?
Your mother’s right about everything.
Stop being so dumb, Xinxin.
We have to do something.
Dalah.
You know,
when a design doesn’t click,
what’s the best thing to do?
Keep the best part, discard the rest.
Even when you're arranging
just one flower,
it's still a flower arrangement.
But this time,
I’m not leaving anything behind.
Good, if you’re sure of that.
Miss Dalah.
Is it beautiful?
Not bad at all for a rookie.
Thank you.
Do you like it? Let’s register you
for the workshop next week then.
I enjoyed it.
I got lost in it and forgot
why I even came to see her.
Call me when you remember.
Welcome to voicemail service.
Please leave your message--
Risa can no longer
stay in that safe house.
She's going to give herself up?
I won’t bother you anymore.
Thank you for the clip.
Do you think Kris did it?
I only know that Mr. Anusorn
had more enemies than we realized.
The hotel sent me to offer
our condolences to Mr. Ekapop.
But after seeing the clip,
it’s hard for me to--
I’ll go with you.
Good evening.
I’m here on behalf of the hotel
to officially express
our condolences for your loss, sir.
More like to bill us for the cancellation.
No, sir.
Besides the wedding planner’s fees,
we’re not charging you anything.
Thank you.
You don’t have to pay me
the design fees either,
since the wedding didn’t happen.
And since Mr. Ohm
was found dead on my property,
it’s only right that I return
my fees to you, Mr. Ekapop.
I didn’t ask her for that.
You can be my witness.
Yes.
Oh, we ordered these flowers
from Miss Dalah’s studio for you as well.
Thank you.
You didn’t have to come all this way.
Not at all, sir.
Somathara Hotel is privileged
to have served
the Uathepa family for a long time.
-These flowers are nothing, Mr. Ekapop.
-What are you doing here?
-You’re exaggerating.
-Go.
It’s the least we can do for you, sir.
If you’ll excuse me,
I have an urgent matter to attend to.
Apologize for any rudeness.
Oh, Miss Florist.
You seem deeply saddened
by the tragic passing of Mr. Anusorn.
He must have been very good to you.
Well… Yes.
You must have known him well.
Have you been working here
for a long time?
Since I was in college.
My grandma Lamduan brought me here.
Even though I only met Mr. Anusorn
for a short time,
I could really tell he was a good person.
It’s unbelievable
that someone would do that
to such a nice guy.
Look.
Some people think it’s Narisa.
Don’t you think that’s impossible?
They were deeply in love.
You can’t be sure.
What makes you think so?
You’re not family.
That’s why you believe that.
It’s the family
that benefits from Risa’s money,
Mr. Ohm didn’t genuinely like her.
What do you mean?
She’s not his type.
What’s his type?
Young.
Young?
Like you?
Equity and equality.
These two words sound similar,
but there’s a big difference between them.
In politics,
when we talk about equal distribution,
we’re talking about equity.
Equity is when you give Mr. B
more than you give Mr. A
-because Mr. A has a more
-Enough.
-solid foundation.
-Focus.
Xinxin.
How was it?
Do you think I’m a decent teacher?
Yeah.
I’ll let you get back to it.
We can continue this conversation at home.
At home?
Xinxin! You…
READY FOR THE EXAM?
DID YOU ENJOY MY CLASS?
LOVED IT. I'M REVISING NOW
OH. JUST ASK IF YOU DON'
UNDERSTAND ANYTHING
SO MANY QUESTIONS
COME TO MY OFFICE THEN
I'LL SEND THE LOCATION
NOT FAR FROM YOUR HOUSE
UNCLE OHM
I'M HERE
BUT NOT SURE IT'S THE RIGHT PLACE
IT IS. IT'S MY PARTY'S SAFE HOUSE
Hi.
Come in.
Make yourself at home.
My secretary just stepped out.
Something to drink?
Uncle Ohm, are you really free?
Of course.
Have a seat.
Here, drink something.
What do you want to ask me about, Xinxin?
Yeah, I’m a little confused about this.
Let's see.
Right here.
Right here?
Ah, okay.
This passage is a little confusing.
Pay attention now.
The vocabulary here is rather vague,
so you need to look
at the structure first.
Xinxin.
When you pay attention to someone,
you need to look them in the eye.
You smell nice.
I think I’m going to go home now.
Xinxin.
Xinxin.
Xinxin.
Xinxin!
What’s this?
You have a boyfriend?
Speak! Tell me!
I don’t even know what happened.
Who is it?
What’s going on, Prapha?
Ask your daughter who she slept with!
Xinxin, what happened?
Pa, I was raped.
Raped?
Who raped you, Xinxin? Who was it?
Who the fuck was it?
If this becomes public,
how could I ever face anyone again?
Tell me now! I'll kill that bastard!
What happened already happened.
We can’t go back and fix it.
But it’s not your fault, Xinxin.
You’re not the first,
and you’re not the only victim.
Don’t be afraid
of what people will think of you.
Other women chose to stay silent,
but I think you should speak out.
Risa, what are you planning to do
with my daughter?
Hasn’t she suffered enough?
Xinxin,
you’re not doing this for yourself.
Okay?
Xinxin.
Remember,
no mothers want people to know
their daughters have been raped.
If your dad finds Risa first,
what do you think he would do?
How would I know?
No one even knows what he’s up to.
But he’ll protect his sons
more than his daughter, right?
I guess so.
Then we must find her soon,
so your father can turn her in.
What makes you think that?
Do I have to say it?
Say what?
You killed Ohm, didn't you?
I let her on top,
but she was too weak to ride me.
Fuck you!
That night,
I had had enough.
I could no longer pretend
that I didn’t know
what he did to our daughter.
I wanted revenge.
I wanted to kill him.
I wanted to bash his head in.
But in reality,
I couldn’t do it.
I was too weak.
Pa won’t have to protect us.
We didn’t do anything wrong.
But we have to find Risa anyway.
Our daughter must not
get mixed up in their scandal.
Bee.
What’s wrong?
Pam.
Please don’t blame Risa.
Why are you protecting her?
She’s the one who put you through this.
It was you, Pam.
You’re the one who actually
sent the clip to people
when I begged you not to,
but you never listened.
Bee.
It’s the only evidence
that would incriminate him.
You cared more
about revenge than about me.
That’s not true.
Pam.
I took the pills
because of you.
Not because of that asshole or Risa.
Bee…
Please, Pam. Let’s help Risa.
Bee is right.
ENTRANCE
I told the police your aunt did it.
Pam, why did you do that?
I just wanted to end all this crazy shit.
The clip, Bee’s humiliation, everything!
But you were right.
What happened to Bee was my fault.
It’s still not too late to tell the truth.
It's Kris.
Okay.
What? Why didn’t you say anything?
Kris told me to take you to Dalah.
What for?
There will be more dead bodies.
Kris also wanted you
to bring someone along.
THIS IS WHAT I MEANT TO TELL YOU EARLIER
MA'AM X CASE CLOSED
What’s going on here?
Mr. Vibul.
Your party is in a tight political race.
I believe the party's image is important.
So, I hope you’ll tell me everything
that might be useful
in Mr. Anusorn's case.
Otherwise,
if shit hits the fan later…
Sorry for wasting your time.
And thank you for coming.
You told me
you knew Mr. Anusorn well.
Of course, I do.
I’ve been living at Uathepa's residence…
Since you were a college student?
Yes.
I don’t know anything
about Ohm's problems.
But before the wedding,
there was an attempt to blackmail him
by our rival party,
so I informed Mr. Ekapop about it.
He said he’d handle it himself.
Blackmailed how?
The sex clips?
Mr. Anusorn
had a thing for college students, right?
As in…
not just you.
You knew
because you saw him
with other college students
from those same clips that Pam saw.
You’re in one of them, right?
I can’t confirm that it’s Ohm.
Where are those now?
You know where those clips are.
-Spit it out.
-Relax, Pam.
Jaa is on your side.
Are you, Jaa?
Please tell us
where those clips are.
We've got something, sir.
Here.
Send a team.
Yes, sir.
-Anyone in there?
-Miss Dalah!
-Open the door!
-Miss Dalah!
Open the door!
-Break it!
-Yes, sir.
Go.
Go!
Arranging flowers…
…is like extending beauty,
prolonging the life of flowers
that might have wilted sooner
if left on the plant.
Lamduan.
Throw this away.
Humans are selfish.
We want to preserve beauty
for as long as possible.
Seeking different methods
to prolong the life of what we love.
You have secrets.
You don't?
Sometimes,
we could even revive something
that's already dead,
or…
someone who's already passed,
through methods that defy nature
but bring us satisfaction.
All in pursuit of our own happiness.
