by accident.

Yes.

- But what did he eat every day?

And what if he wanted to

go the bathroom?

Sompat often went to

the coffee shop, remember?

This guy used to come here

all the time.

A man who wants to kill you

has been hiding in your home.

It's so creepy

just to think of it.

Now let's re-enact the murder.

Is it necessary?

To solve the crime, you have to

approach it, or even be it.

I'll play you,

and you'll play Sompat.

Sir, I'm here for a pick up.

No.

- What?

I didn't stutter.

- Fine, you play yourself.

I'll play Sompat.

Remember, don't miss any details.

I'm here for a pick up.

Sit.

Stop.

Your finger prints.

- Go on?

Go on.

Stop.

- Again?

Are you sure he paid you

before he handed you the note?

Yes. Why?

- All he said to you was "sit"?

Yes.

- Okay. Go on.

Stop.

- I knew it.

When you left,

you didn't see Sompat?

He was in his studio,

and all I saw was his silhouette.

His silhouette.

The Sompat you saw that day

was like this, wasn't he?

Yes, exactly.

What's going on?

Where is the murderer?

He is right beneath your eyes.

- You are the murderer?

Yes, I am the murderer.

- Stop it!

No. The man I play

is the murderer.

You play Sompat.

You mean Sompat killed himself?

I know. He committed suicide.

Detective, try to smash

the back of your own head.

So what the heck happened?

You didn't see his face clearly.

- The light was too dim.

Was it like this that day?

- Yes, exactly like this.

He didn't want you to

see him clearly...

...because he was not Sompat.

He was...

- The murderer.

The murderer is here!

- Right.

Are you okay?

- I'm fine.

Who is he?

- He wants to kill us.

It means...

- What?

We are right.

- We are right?

Oh, no!

- Run!

Tang!

Tang!

Qin!

- Tang!

Tang, I'm here!

- Qin!

Qin!

Come on, help us.

Come on, come on.

Do you want to live?

Let's go! One, two, three.

What do you want this for?

This is evidence.

Which is more important,

your life or solving the case?

They are both important.

Let's go.

Mr. Yan has blown my cover.

I can't stay in Thailand anymore.

You can go to Australia.

There's great sunshine...

...and delicious seafood.

- Really?

Yes.

- Are you kidding me?

It's simple. I'll count to three.

And you tell me where the gold is.

Or I'll shoot her.

One.

- We really don't know.

Really?

- I really don't know!

Really?

- Really!

My friend.

Have some pity on me.

We spent over six months

planning for this.

And when we finally got the gold,

it was gone.

Now I can't stay

in Thailand anymore.

I still have to provide for

my mother. I have to leave here.

I am in misery.

Put the gun down.

- You tell him.

Me?

I...

- Well, he is a stutterer.

And even more so

when he is nervous.

Take it easy. I can wait.

I have a lot of time.

Two.

- Don't!

I...

- I know!

You won't stutter if you sing.

You can sing it out.

I can't sing.

- What's so difficult about that?

Sing along with me.

Time is gone with the wind.

Ready? Sing!

Time is gone...

- Stop, stop, stop.

You are out of tune.

You're singing it wrong.

So la so mi. La mi la do la do.

Time is gone...

- La mi la do la do.

With the wind.

- It sounds better now.

Your "time" sounds very well.

You have to keep "wind" longer.

Wind. Keep it longer.

Gone with the wind.

- Wind.

Do you think I'm dumb?

Am I dumb?

Fine. Okay.

This is your last chance.

No!

- Two and a half.

Just tell him!

- I...

You are such a loser. No wonder

you can't get into college.

No college will admit

a little stutterer like you.

I'm better than you.

You think you are a detective.

You are actually an old hooligan.

- How dare you call me that?

So what? You old hooligan!

- You little stutterer!

You old hooligan!

- You little stutterer!

You old hooligan!

- I'm the point.

You old stutterer!

- Little hooligan!

Xiang, are you okay?

- I'm okay.

Xiang!

Use DiDi Taxi to take her

to the hospital.

What are you talking about?

Call the ambulance!

Xiang!

Please stop here.

Let's go!

- Where to?

The police is here!

- I don't care!

They can arrest me here.

Xiang, now I know

how much you love me.

You are willing to

take a bullet for me.

How can I let her down?

- You think too much.

When she gets well, I'll have

kids with her. A lot of kids.

A lot of kids.

Why are you looking at me?

Thanks for saving me.

I hope you don't blame me

for dragging you down.

Your vacation turns out like this.

Why did you come to Thailand?

Anyone who has a good life at home

won't go to another country.

We all have reasons to

go abroad and stay.

It's nothing like that.

Eldest brother.

It's nothing like that.

The whole town

knew about the scandal soon.

I finally realise that...

- What would you like me to use?

Being pitied by everyone

is more miserable than...

...being despised by them.

It's been a long time.

Don't you want to go home?

There is no place like home.

But what can I do,

even if I go back?

I have been bragging about

my life here.

They all think I have

a successful career.

But I have to bear my own cross.

And nobody knows my bitterness.

Anybody who stay away from home

have their own problems.

What about you? You are so smart.

It's the police college's loss

for rejecting you.

Qin Feng, why do you want to get

into the Criminal Police College?

Is it so hard to answer?

I don't want to lie to you.

- We don't want you to lie.

I want to commit a perfect crime.

What? You actually said that?

You are really a freak.

You read all the books

and watch all the movies...

...not to solve crimes,

but to commit one?

Does it have something to do

with your dad in prison?

I'll tell you next time.

- Next time? When is that?

She's out of danger.

She is fine.

We can't run away this time.

The case is almost solved.

How about we surrender?

No, I need the last piece

of the puzzle.

We have to run again?

- Yes.

With all the police out there,

we really can't escape this time.

Got it! Let's get help.

Brother, any news?

Tony says Tang Ren and the gold

are all in the hospital.

Brother, our ordeal

is coming to an end.

Finally!

Come on! Hurry up!

You didn't die in peace.

Quiet.

Quiet, quiet.

Stop!

Time and resync by, Chaoshary20 @Subscene

Don't delete any credit.

It will never happen again.

Yes, Mayor.

You all heard that.

We have actually accomplished

something in this operation.

We shot a man dead and

arrested two of the robbers.

So you blew off a hospital?

After the police station,

and now it's the hospital.

Do you have to blast the whole

Bangkok to get Tang Ren?

No.

- I don't want to hear that.

No.

- Tomorrow is the deadline.

If you can't get him by then,

you can sell yourselves at Cowboy!

I thought you said Nana.

- Get out!

Do you know who the murderer is?

- Snow's stepfather, Lee.

How can it be him?

- He works at the junk yard.

It's a coincidence.

But it doesn't mean...

...he is the murderer.

He took a week's leave

before April 13th.
