To investigate the case, I need an assistant.

So I'm your hands and feet?

Come on, I've come from a different period.

I don't know what's going on in this world.

Like that flip-flop TV you have,

I never saw it before.

Flip-flop TV? Duh!

It's a notebook computer.

Anyway, aren't you afraid someone will

see you walking round like this?

You're talking to me now

and you can't see me.

Don't be paranoid.

Why are you so sure?

The people who can see me

are only those who're about to die.

Once I'd decided to help Senior,

I started digging for information.

The murder took place at night.

Princess Bhannawadee was struck by

a hard object at the back of her head.

The impact broke the back part of her skull.

Her body fell into the pool.

The police found a blood-stained shovel,

which led to the arrest of the suspect,

Jit, the long-serving gardener.

They searched his house

and found a stash of jewelry,

which belonged to the princess.

The court ruled that

the defendants argument didn't add up.

Jit was sentenced to death by firing squad.

I found that there were three people

involved with the case.

First is the princess's doctor, Dr. Saner.

He was the one who found her body

in the pool.

He's still alive today.

The second is Mr. Praphan,

the lawyer who was in charge of her will.

He died five years ago.

The third one is Miss Woranart,

the princess's former secretary.

She was fired for embezzlement

and disappeared shortly before the murder.

Anyway, how did you get in here?

You just walked through walls,

like in ghost movies?

When I was a student,

there was no washroom here.

Just a balcony.

I don't get it.

People believe spirits can

walk through walls, but that's not true.

We can touch only the things or places

that existed when we were still alive.

When you see a spirit walk through a wall,

that's because in the past,

there was no wall there.

So the spirit can walk through it.

But if there was a wall there

and now it becomes a door,

the spirit can't go through it.

This is why I need your help,

get it now?

Now you're right here, aren't you?

You can smell me?

Yes.

Don't you want to know how I look?

I do. I have a mental image of you.

What's it like?

Well... you're good-looking, tall,

and slightly pretentious.

You can tell that much from the smell?

Senior, do you think we can touch?

In theory, no.

Because when I was alive, you didn't exist.

Is that so?

Follow me.

Where are we going?

The crime scene.

Thirty years ago when I was a student,

the pool was still here.

But it was a forbidden area.

When the place was turned into

a convent school,

they filled up the pool

and turned it into a cemetery.

Where you're standing was once

the edge of the pool.

It's about 10-meter wide.

Where? Left or right?

Left.

Now walk straight ahead.

Stop right there!

That's where the body was found.

Can you sense anything?

I smell blood.

Mixed with the smell of hatred.

Wait... there's something else.

The smell of gunpowder,

swirling in the air from the past.

Unlikely.

In the case file,

there's no mention of any gun.

The murder weapon was a shovel,

hidden near the pool.

There was blood on it.

Proved to match

the blood type of the victim.

There was no DNA test back then.

DNA?

Hi Mon!

Mgr]!

Here, what you wanted me to find.

I had to dig into old hospital registrations.

My eyes almost popped out of my sockets.

The filing was a mess,

everything was done manually back then.

Thank you, Dr. No.

Instead of a thank-you,

let me take you to dinner.

Do you believe in ghosts?

Baloney! There's no such thing!

What was that? Why did you push me?

You have to go in by yourself.

In my time, this place was a swamp.

Excuse me, are you Dr. Saner?

I'd like to ask you about

the murder of Princess Bhannawadee.

Goddamn?!

How did you get in here?

What do you want?!

I want to ask you about Baby Daeng.

What?

Baby Daeng was an orphan whose mother

died in the hospital where I used to work.

The princess took pity on her

and adopted her as a niece.

When she was 12,

Daeng ran away and disappeared.

You know Mr. Praphan, right?

That back-stabbing lawyer?

Of course I knew him!

I knew him more than anyone else,

and I'll never forget him

until I breathe my last.

I heard that alcoholic died of liver disease.

Serves him right!

Karma caught up with him!

Where did you learn about Baby Daeng?

In the case file.

At the time of the murder, she was just 6.

Eyewitnesses testified

that she was sleeping in her room.

The name sounds familiar.

I must've heard it before.

Anyway, how did you get into his house?

Just walked right through walls,

like in ghost movies?

He left the back door open like an invitation.

A buffalo could've waltzed in.

She's sniffing the wall. Frigging nuts!

So your mother is really a b*tch!

A sniffing b*tch!

I smelled rage and vengeance.

I could tell it was a female spirit

that's related to someone in the building.

A lot has changed, nothing is the same as

I once remembered it.

See that abandoned room?

It used to be a delivery room.

You've been here a long time.

Ever seen something unusual?

So often that it stopped being unusual.

See that room?

I used to see the ghost of a pregnant nurse

walking in there every night.

Dr. Saner used to work as

an obstetrician here.

The ghost of a pregnant nurse

could be another piece in the puzzle.

Or maybe she's the mysterious spirit

in the school wail.

But no one in Bhannawadee Palace

fits the description.

The only possibility is Miss Woranart.

I also found out

that Mr. Praphan had a wife, Wipa.

She's still alive.

We should go talk to her.

Why is a born-yesterday asking about

something that happened ages ago?

What for? Go away!

Not working.

A born-yesterday, so what?

Senior

See me after school. Same place.

Are you certain?

Does he know?

I showed him the test result.

He said I was lying.

Master!

Can we talk?

HCG is a hormone found in

some types of drugs.

Mix it with urine and put a drop

in the pregnancy test,

and you get the positive result.

Cheap trick.

She can't fool a chemistry teacher.

Will you take her to a hospital

for another test?

Why would I do that?

I have nothing to do with this.

It's public knowledge that your friend is...

Is what?

Well, she sleeps around with lots of men.

Including you.

So?

What can I do? She came onto me.

You're a jerk!

I'll go to the police. She's a minor!

Well, that's not very smart...

What if these photos get into

the social media?

Master, delete these pictures. Please!

Sure.

But it depends on what I'll get in return.

Do we have a deal?

Where're you taking me?

The hospital. You must have another test.

No, I'm embarrassed!

Ant, did you lie to me?

No! I didn't!

That's it... Don't talk to me ever again.

You're no longer my friend.

Come back! Mon! Don't leave me!

Mgr]!

You walked in on the day I felt I had nothin'

You walked in smiling

on the day I was crying
