- Poking this frog

Don't do that

It's bad karma

Let it be

I heard a rumour you've done this before

What do you mean?

Upcountry, remember?

How did it feel?

It felt like a duty

Then why don't you do the next one yourself

You know what?

When I first met you

I didn't think you were handsome at all

I thought you were cool

I was very beautiful back then

Back then

if I had been a famous rock artist

our life would have been much easier

Everything would have been different

A nice house, a nice car

No bill chasers

Fried pig knuckle and Singha beer every night

No guns

No killings

You'd probably have left me for a sexy groupie

That's right, that's what I was thinking

You stink of alcohol

Do you think we made the right choice?

Do you have any regrets?

Daddy, we have a ghost in the house

No there isn't, sweetie

Come here

Close your eyes now

Special delivery

Father Abbot

I'm worried that the job I do

is going to cause bad karma

Don't think of it like that

I'm not only worried about myself

but my family too

Your family

They are not a part of your karma

Don't think of them being involved

I...

I don't even like this job

Don't worry yourself with it

It's not bad karma

You are just doing your duty

Yes, Father Abbot

Thank you

Blessings

Hang on...

What about your guitar?

Are you leaving it?

Oh, right

Seeing you with a guitar

reminds me of my younger days

I used to sing too

Oops, almost sinned

Today...

Ronald Reagan was re-elected...

Dad, what are you watching?

Watching TV

What's on TV?

The news

What news?

Ronald Reagan news

Who's Ronald Reagan?

He's a movie star

What's a movie star?

So many questions

Be right back

Hello, hello

Please come inside

Please take a seat

Hey, Aum, come over here

Yes, Dad

Please everyone

Thank you for all coming

to congratulate Aum today

We want to tell you that

we are very proud of you son

It might not be a very fancy job

but it sure is an honest one

I hope you'll make the most out of it

Congratulations to

The little tiger

of the 'Big Tiger' prison

You know Chow

on his first day at work

he was a sharp shooter

Shooting what?

Prisoners, what else could it be?

Shooting prisoners?

Real life people?

Yes, of course

That means he's a murderer!

What do you mean murderer?

They're called executioners

It's the same thing!

It's a sin

Shooting people

How did I get into this circle of sin?

I can't accept this, I just can't

Oh my god!

Mother, Father

I'll bring my Dad over to introduce to you

Dad?

Nop's mother and father are waiting

I hear you are courting my daughter?

Do you know what I do for a living?

Chow

Excuse us

Are you sure about this?

Here you go

- Mum

- Yes?

When you knew what Dad does

How did it make you feel?

Very proud, sweetie

But don't tell your Dad I said that

He's sacrificed a lot for us

Hey, Chulee

I'm really sorry

He seems like a nice guy

You can use normal language, Chow

Mr Chavoret, I've heard so much about you

Yes, Ma'am

I'm studying law right now

so I have a special question for you

I'm happy to help

Were you always sure

that the people you executed were guilty?

I am like the end of the waterfall

not its beginning

I can do this, Dad

I'm just watching

The apple didn't fall far from the tree, did it?

You know

in all these years

I've never once found out anything

until after the execution

Death Sentence for Prisoner Duangjai

There's still time, would you like something to eat?

Maybe something light

Okay

Here

Look at this

This woman named Duangjai

was a nanny for some rich family

She got fired for stealing

So she and her boyfriend

decided to kidnap the kid for ransom

They had the kid's parents board a train

and when they were to see a red flag

to throw the ransom money out the window

The parents missed the red flag

so they didn't throw the money bag out

The kidnappers got angry

so they strangled the boy to death

But some people say

Duangjai might not be 100% guilty

It was probably her boyfriend

When you say 'some people'

are they the judges or the police?

Let go of me

Tew!

Tew

Come on

You go do your duty

and I'll do mine

Go on

She's not guilty! She didn't do it!

Why are you killing her?

Duang!

I really didn't do it

I killed the kid

I did it!

I did it myself!

Why the hell did you kill her?

Screw you!

I did it!

Screw you guys

She had nothing to do with it

Bastards! She didn't do it!

I did it! Kill me!

Prisoner Duangjai time of death

17:
43 hrs

Duang

Duang!

Duang didn't do it, screw you!

Bastards!

Duang

Duang

Duang!

Duang, is that you?

Hey, Duang didn't do it!

I did it!

Shoot me!

Don't do that!

You can't do that

I did it!

You're gonna let her suffer like this?

We must follow protocol

Flip her over for now

Duang didn't do it!

Shoot me, shoot me

Please don't do it...

I'm begging you!

His parents don't even want him

Don't harm him

Tie her up again

Please forgive me

Shoot, shoot

Shoot now, shoot

I brought someone to meet you

I really didn't mean to

I didn't want to do it

Please forgive me

Mister

Mister

You should go home

Mr Chavoret, we have some questions

Mr Chavoret

Chavoret

What was it like to kill your first woman?

Is she dead yet?

Dad

Dad, let's go inside

Look at the camera please...

You see

They followed you home

Chow

You can't bring work home with you

I think I ate too much

You only had three bowls

Dad, shall we get something for Mum?

How about this one?

Dad!

You're scary enough without it

Hello

Hello?

Who is it?

Nobody, I didn't hear anyone

Hello

You go home first

Is everything ok?

Nothing, sweetie

I just need to do something

I'll see you this evening

What do you think you're doing?

Why did you call me just now?

Are you talking to me?

Stay away from me

It's time you left me alone

Mister, keep your head down

That's enough

It's not your time yet

You don't want to join the new execution team?

Thank you very much, sir

But I want to spend more time with my family

It's a pity, a man like you is hard to find

Here you go, Dad

For your health

It tastes awful

Let's go Dad, they're here

Go with Chulee, okay?

Go

Come on

Please give him an applause

This man has executed 55 prisoners

He will be remembered as

the 'Last Executioner'

Mr Chavoret, please say a few words

I have fulfilled my duties

according to my belief and faith

to the best of my abilities

Thank you very much

Yes

Now I'd like to invite everyone

to join in releasing these balloons

symbolising the souls

of the executed prisoners

all 319 lives

May they rest in peace

with these balloons!

On the 20th of October 2003...

the Minister of Justice presided over

the opening ceremony of the new execution room

and marked the end of the firing squad

Lethal injection

so prisoners don't get shot at

I believe is

better and more civilized

and more importantly

it's much cheaper

only 200 Baht per person

It doesn't get any cheaper than this
