[horses whinnying]
- [neighs]
- Whoa, whoa.
Excuse me, sir.
Do you think that man
knows where Madam Lilly is?
I don't know.
But I'm sure he knows something.
Just keep an eye on him.
- And keep me informed.
- Yes. sir.
[neighs]
[gentle ambient music playing]
[Nicha] Hello, Mister Aim?
Do you remember me?
I'm Nicha.
I work at the Salyavej Nursing Home.
We met when you went there
to visit Orn's mother.
Hello.
How can I help you?
[Nicha] Well
I haven't been able to contact Orn.
She's not answering my calls,
or replying to my messages.
Did something happen to her?
No, I'm sure she's all right.
She's working in China.
She's somewhere remote.
Probably no signal.
I already spoke
to the people at her office.
They haven't heard from her either.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have
come all the way over here.
It might be one of her side jobs.
Orn doesn't usually tell her office
about her other personal projects.
But is there an emergency
or something? Is that it?
You can tell me and I'll
I'll let Orn know next time we speak.
[Nicha] Okay, well
Orn's mom fell and she hurt herself.
I arranged for her
to be taken to the hospital,
but they need a relative
to pay her expenses.
That's terrible.
Is she gonna be all right?
Maybe they would let me pay for
her expenses and medical bills?
Um, she's like family to me, and, um
- If I can help at all, I will, of course.
- That sounds good.
We we can go together.
Sure.
There's no need to pay her bills anymore.
Everything is already covered
by her insurance.
All you have to do is sign this document
and we take care of the rest.
Um, I'm not part of the family.
She's my girlfriend's mother.
Can I sign for it?
No, I'm sorry, only the patient's family.
- I'll take care of the bills, then.
- But everything is already covered.
She can come by anytime and just sign.
She's very busy at the moment.
I'll pay for the bills myself.
THAI LIFE INSURANCE
[clerk] Sign here.
[Nicha] This way.
I spoke with the doctor and he confirmed
she is now in the last stage
of her Alzheimer's.
They said that her fall in the bathroom
is because her limbs have weakened.
[monitors beeping]
There's a risk of complications.
For the moment,
she'll have to stay admitted.
Aim, can you please try
to contact Orn as soon as you can?
If her mother does have complications,
her condition will deteriorate
very quickly.
Yes, of course. I'll try to contact her.
I have to say,
it's very strange.
[tense music playing]
Before, when Orn used
to go abroad for her work,
she always let me know.
She never leaves her mother alone.
Are you sure she didn't say anything?
Nothing at all.
[music intensifying]
LUNNA: YOU ARE SO QUIET.
FANG: OUR FRIENDS ARE MEETING UP.
ARE YOU COMING?
HK PRODUCTION: HAVE YOU ADJUSTED
THE PHOTO COLORS FOR ME?
GIFTZYYY: ORN, I HAVE WORK FOR YOU.
PLEASE CALL ME BACK.
NICHA: ORN, CONTACT ME BACK ASAP
[gasps]
YOUR MOM FELL IN THE BATHROOM
- SHE'S NOT DOING WELL
- MISSED CALL
ORN, CONTACT ME BACK ASAP
[breathing unsteadily]
I'M SORRY I DIDN'T ANSWER
I'M SORRY I DIDN'T ANSWER.
I JUST GOT A SIGNAL.
PLEASE TAKE CARE OF HER FOR ME
[continues typing]
NICHA, DON'T CONTACT AIM ANYMORE
WE BROKE UP
[phone vibrating loudly]
[gasps]
[phone chimes]
IS THAT REALLY YOU, ORN?
WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER MY CALL?
[man] In my opinion,
there are two significant elements
that can dramatically affect the current
state of the logistics industry.
The first and most important element
is, of course, our currency
and international exchange rates.
[menacing music playing]
[muffled] The second important element
affecting the industry is
Aim?
[music fades]
Questions, Aim?
Would you like me to clarify anything?
[clears throat]
No. Everything was very clear.
But I would like to thank you both,
Lina and Dear, for coming here today
to discuss the important issues
facing your industry.
[director] Cut. That's a wrap, everyone.
[woman 1] Let's clear up.
The stage needs to be ready
- [Dear] Thanks.
- [Lina] Thank you.
[woman 2] All right, everybody.
We'll strike the lights
[all murmuring]
- [woman 1] Did you see
- [woman 2] It looks like Aim.
[tense music playing]
Looks like Aim.
[microphone clatters]
What's everyone looking at?

#CHEATINGELITE
[woman on TV] A photo of missing person
Lalita Wongroongroj, wife of Mr. Too,
has been leaked online
and is creating quite a sensation.
The photo shows Mrs. Wongroongroj
kissing Mr. Arthit Thammanit,
the famous writer and presenter
of the online show The Generations.
- Public reaction so far is very negative.
- [cars pulling up]
[car doors slamming]
[sighs heavily]
[radio chatter]
[door opens]
Do you have news about Lilly?
- You're Mr. Thiti, I presume?
- Yes.
I'm Captain Yutthachai.
I have been assigned
to handle your wife's case.
And we're here to search the premises.
The search warrant.
[sighs] Is this necessary?
Because her disappearance
also involves adultery,
protocol requires
that we search the premises.
Why don't you do your job?
You should be going after that writer.
Since your wife disappeared
not far from here,
it makes more sense
to search the closest location first.
What happened to your arm?
A riding accident.
[tense music playing]
This way.
[rustling and clattering]
Do you have any security cameras?
- None.
- [drawer closes]
[camera shutter clicking]
[Yutthachai] How many people live here?
Four.
[Yutthachai] Who, exactly?
[Too] My father,
my little sister,
Lilly and me.
It's strange.
People who own mansions like this
usually have cameras everywhere.
Are you sure you don't have any?
[chuckles]
Open the door, please.
It's a storeroom, there's nothing there.
Please don't waste my time.
Open it.
[keys jangling]
Do you have a baby?
My wife had a miscarriage.
We don't use the room.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Mr. Too,
how long have you known
about your wife's affair?
I found out watching the news.
Rumor has it
that lately, you've been fighting.
Have you ever beaten your wife before?
Never.
[tense music continues]
[sighs]
Is this your sister?
She's my stepsister.
If memory serves me right,
sometime ago,
didn't someone drown on the farm?
I think you already know.
Were you here when it happened?
No.
Where's your father's room?
[officer 1] Make sure you take photographs
in every room.
[officer 2] Copy that.
- [officer 1] Take that to the lab.
- [officer 3] Yes, sir.
[ventilator hissing]
[unsettling music playing]
[neighing and snorting]
[Yutthachai] We're done for the day.
I'd like to know why
you're wasting time searching around here.
My wife is missing.
You should be looking for her.
You should be using your time
to look into that writer.
Thank you for your cooperation.
So, when did you start dating Lilly?
- [camera clicks]
- [drawer closes]
I wrote an article about Lilly
and put it on my website.
We became friends.
And you know the rest.
But we'd separated.
She was afraid of her husband's reaction.
So we stopped seeing each other, and
Then I heard about what happened
on the news.
On the night that she disappeared,
where were you?
I was at home. The whole night.
[papers shuffling]
[camera clicking]
[Yutthachai] So, you were here at home,
all night, with your girlfriend,
a Miss Ornjira?
Yeah.
Good, then she can be your alibi
and confirm the whole story.
She was here, with you,
the night that Lilly disappeared?
[tense music playing]
No, she can't.
Because we broke up.
You seem to have a habit of breaking up.
You see, Orn found out about me and Lilly.
So we broke up.
Did you guys fight?
There's always a fight when you break up.
When Orn found out about the affair,
we sat down and had a long talk.
What happened then?
- [drawer opens]
- She decided to move out.
[drawer closes]
[Yutthachai] That's all?
She moved out, and that was it.
[officer] Captain, the woman
you wanted to see has just arrived.
Hmm.
[sighs]
Your name is Nicha?
Yes.
[knocking at door]
I told you I'd take care of everything.
Do you realize the damage
you've done with that photo?
You've never cared what people think.
You sound like Dad now.
Watch yourself, June.
Don't you wanna see them get punished?
Stay out of it.
[somber music playing]
You know I hate them.
[door slams]
FIND LILLY
#AIMARTHI
[ominous music playing]
Sorry for taking up your time.
I just have a few more questions.
It's okay.
Right, then.
Earlier, you mentioned that
you and Orn just broke up?
That's correct.
But you failed to
mention the breakup to Nicha
when she came to talk to you.
About Orn's mother?
In fact, you offered
to pay her medical bills.
What has this got to do with Nicha?
Well, interestingly, Nicha suspects
you've done something to Orn.
And, in fact,
she also thinks you're involved
in Lilly's disappearance.
She thinks
there may be a connection there.
So, Aim, you went all the way
to the hospital with Nicha,
but didn't talk about the breakup?
The reason I said nothing to Nicha
is because my private life
has nothing to do with her.
And that doesn't mean we can't
help each other or be civilized.
My understanding is that Orn
went to work in China?
Yeah.
Well, that's quite unusual,
because there is no record
of Orn leaving the country.
Why are you lying, Aim?
I'm only saying what Orn told me.
I'm not lying to you.
Besides, whatever she does
is up to her, don't you agree?
Okay.
If you don't mind,
I have one more question for you.
[sighs] Sure.
If you had just separated, how come
Orn came back to your apartment?
[sighs]
There's something else
I don't understand.
I've watched the security cameras
many, many times.
We see both you and Lilly
entering and leaving the apartment.
But I don't see footage of Orn
leaving your place.
- I guess the camera's broken.
- At no time do we ever see Orn leaving.
Why would I bring Lilly inside
if Orn was still there?
[crackling]
[high-pitched buzzing]
[crackling]
[silence]
Gunshot injury.
My hearing's still poor,
even with this hearing aid.
But there's a good side to it.
The fact that my hearing's so bad
means that I had to become
good at reading faces.
[sighs] Say what's on your mind.
To accuse me, you'll need evidence.
I expected more from the police.
You're right.
I've no right to accuse you of anything.
And it's true, you might
be right about the cameras.
But it just happens that I've worked
on a case very similar to this before.
That case involved a young girl.
And this girl
was making people around her disappear.
One person after the other.
And the thing is,
I had no evidence against her.
But then
one day that girl
went inside a supermarket
and she never came back out.
It's like she vanished into thin air.
But you see, I believe
everything can be explained.
I may have failed to solve that case,
but, Aim, I promise you,
I'll get to the bottom of this one.
[sighs] So, are you done
with your questions?
I'll go, then.
- [door opens]
- One moment, Aim.
Yeah?
I'm truly very sorry about Lilly and you.
[tense music playing]
[door closes]
Fuck!
[woman] Today is a very special day
for all of us,
as we celebrate
one of your very own classmates,
who has brought
such honor and distinction to our school.
She has just won first prize
in the prestigious Regional Math Contest.
Please give a warm welcome
and a big round of applause
to Miss June Wongroongroj of Class 11,
as she receives her certificate.
[applause]
[photographer] Look at the camera
Thank you.
[girl] Let's go.
Are you planning on using that for drinks?
[girls giggling]
[sighs]
[man and June]
In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Bless me, Father.
I wish to reconcile myself with God
and with the holy Church.
I have committed a sin,
even though I knew it was wrong.
And God may never forgive me
for the evil that I have done.
