He's a new generation of sorcerer-bandit.

[cackles]

Hey, Ouan, don't tease him.

Hey, Tee.

Is it true

everything they say?

That this special stuff

can make you disappear?

[laughs]

Hey, I've seen it.

He really can disappear.

Ah, Somchai, you're so damn superstitious.

That's why these b*stards are so c*ck.

Okay then.

I wanna see for myself

how he can disappear.

Stay still.

Like this. How's he gonna disappear, huh?

You f*cking try to do it now.

[boy] Get your newspaper.

"Bandits jump from train."

[man] Hey, kid, I'll take one.

[boy] There you go, sir.

[approaching footsteps]

What's so urgent, sir?

I want him dead now.

SORCERER-BANDIT JUMPS FROM TRAIN

TAUNTS POLICE

Damn it.

These reporters write, like,

make him out to be a hero.

And who are the villains?

That's you and I.

This business with him,

it needs to end soon.

You'll have full authority

over the operation.

Jakarat,

don't blow it.

Yes, sir.

[rooster crowing in the distance]

[birds chirping]

[monk]

You two shouldn't have come back here.

What's going on?

The police,

they took all my amulets, Luang Por.

It's really my fault, Luang Por.

You are cursed, Tee.

It's time for you to quit.

Keep my words in mind, Tee.

You have escaped

because your fate is strong.

It is not because of this amulet.

And due to your friend,

whether you live or die,

depends on him.

[nostalgic music plays]

[nostalgic music continues]

Tee, hand it over.

Choose which hand. Pick one.

Come on, which hand?

[Tee] Hey.

How did it disappear?

[man] Keep your eyes

on the rings in my hands.

Don't blink even once.

-All right.

-[woman laughs]

-[man] There, how about that?

-[woman] Whoa!

How do you do that?

[man] All right.

Before we move on now to the next show,

take a few moments,

and you should buy these medicines

which can cure all diseases.

Let me through. You there!

-You're under arrest. Turn around.

-Hey. What's going on?

-Leave me alone!

-[cop 1] Hey, don't struggle.

-Drugs here.

-[man] They're not mine.

How could you say that? What's this?

Those are not mine.

I told you. It's not mine. It's not mine.

-No, no!

-Pa! Pa!

-[Luang Por] Boy, wait.

-[cop 1] Take him away.

-Boy, stop!

-Leave my dad alone.

[Pa] They're not mine.

-[cop 1] Stop struggling.

-Luang Por, look after my son.

-[cop 2] There's no point making a fuss.

-Pa! Pa!

Pa! Pa!

[nostalgic music continues]

I'll get you outta here.

We'll find a better place.

Yeah.

[nostalgic music continues]

-Hey, you.

-[man 2] Yeah, you. You haven't paid up.

[man] f*ck him up, yeah.

[Tee hollers]

-Luang Por, please help Tee.

-[Tee groans]

[shouts]

[Luang Por] Rerk, stitch his wound.

Stitch it now.

[Tee groans]

[screams]

[Luang Por] Tee, bite down. Be strong.

[Rerk] Just stay still, Tee. Stay still.

[music turns dramatic]

[groans]

What trouble did he get into?

He wouldn't pay the protection money,

so Adisak's henchmen ambushed him.

[groans]

[dramatic music continues]

[Tee] From now on, no one will be able

to hurt you or me again.

[dramatic music peaks, fades]

[man] Inspector, Tee and his crew

are holed up in Bang Khun Phrom.

What's our next move?

We can't let him walk free

and become a celebrity.

-Keep me updated, okay?

-Yes, Inspector.

[receiver clicks]

Sergeant Somchai, sir.

I'm Sergeant Ouan reporting for duty.

Captain Weera sent us

to assist you, Inspector.

[mysterious music plays]

[Jakarat] About Tee's escape.

You guys believe he has magic powers,

don't you?

Yes.

It's because you think that,

you screwed up.

If he truly had those powers,

he would never have been caught.

Those so-called powers,

are nothing else but just a con.

BANG KHUN PHROM, BANGKOK

[rock music plays in background]

[cue stick strikes ba*ls]

[Jakarat] Got a light, kid?

Thanks, kid.

Guys your age like this kind of music.

I have different tastes.

[Somchai] I've been in and out

of so many brothels, sir.

Still no sign of them.

You see that kid over there?

You remember their first case?

They robbed Adisak.

[intriguing music plays]

[Jakarat] They took out

all of his henchmen.

[man grunts]

Tee.

[Adisak] What are you doing?

[Jakarat] As for his only son, Kid?

[g*nsh*t]

[Jakarat] He disappeared without a trace.

Damn you, Kid.

You ungrateful son.

[Jakarat] He put a bounty on their heads,

and to this day, they still can't return.

[rock music continues in background]

[g*n c*ck]

[rock music ends]

[Tee] Back off.

[ominous music plays]

[crowd parties indistinctly]

[sh**ting]

[Jakarat breathes heavily]

[ominous music fades]

[woman 1] Hey, you can't come in.

Don't come in.

[glass shatters]

[woman 1] She said no.

[man 1] Let's talk.

[woman 1] I told you no.

Don't you get it?

[man 2] Listen, Dao.

If you don't take a client today,

you'll get a whipping instead.

-Looks bad.

-[Dao] No f*cking way.

He tried to stick it in my a*s,

the sick f*ck.

[Dao shouts]

Ah! Oh!

[man 1] Come here, you b*tch.

Let me go, you piece of sh*t.

-Ah!

-[intense action music plays]

You're a tough one, hey?

f*ck you.

Hey!

Hey. Hey.

-[Rerk] That's enough.

-[man 1] Dao. You b*tch.

[man 1 grunts]

Rerk, watch out.

[Dao gasps]

[man 2 groans]

Tee, don't.

Trust me.

You're making a lotta noise.

[woman 2 claps]

You guys live up to your reputations.

Madam. I'm begging you. I came in peace.

[madam] If you really came in peace,

then don't make me regret it.

[music fades]

[safe locker clicks]

Come on, madam.

Aren't you rather shortchanging me here?

You don't want it?

[Dao winces]

[knock at door]

[door opens]

Are you badly hurt?

I'm not taking clients. You should go.

[sighs]

[retreating footsteps]

[door closes]

The reason I came here [exhales]

was to thank you

For helping me.

I hate bullies

and those who look down on women.

[pensive music plays]

[dog barks in distance]

[gasps]

[exhales]

[breathes shakily]

[siren blares distantly]

[pensive music turns intense]

[birdsong]

Madam? Madam. The police are here.

The bar is closed.

If you're here to search,

you'd need a warrant.

I've already paid.

I've never taken from you.

Who did you pay?

[Ouan] Go on, move faster.

Get in there.

Has anyone seen Tee and his g*ng?

If no one speaks up,

I'll take all of you downtown.

[madam] Oh, Inspector.

Those guys haven't been here for months.

You should just ask Sergeant Sam.

Inspector Jakarat, sir.

Isn't this going a bit far?

Hm?

You mind your damn tongue.

If I wanna hear from you,

I'll ask you, okay?

Yes, sir.

He will definitely come back here.

When that day comes,

and you're all silent,

you'll regret it.

What the f*ck are you lot

all standing here for?

Get to work!

Damn it.

[crowd cheering]

POLICE DECLARE CAPTURE OF TEE'S g*ng

-Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

-Hm.

Thanks.

Take me to see it.

This one, sir.

[Rerk continues to scream]

Hang in there. Hang in there, Rerk.

[Rerk breathes heavily]

Easy now.

Anyone inside?

Three suspects escaped this way.

-[Ouan] Go!

[cop] Quickly.

[Kid] sh*t.

Hey. If we keep sh**ting 'til morning,

we're not gonna make it.

We'll be out of a*mo.

What should we do, Tee?

We have to survive.

[speaks in Pali]

[in English] Hey, Ouan. You hear that?

What is it?

I don't know. It's someone chanting.

[thunder brews]

Mm.

Okay, it's over.

Tell everyone to check their a*mo.

When the rain lets up,

we'll be entering the house.

-Go!

-Yes, sir.

[music fades]

[door opens]

[mysterious music plays]

Did you go somewhere last night?

What? No. I was taking clients last night.

Are you lying to me?

[approaching footsteps]

[shoes dragging]

Get in there! [grunts]

[Dao] Mai.

Dao. Sergeant Sam told me

that you went to see Rerk. Is that right?

-[Dao] Ugh!

-[madam] Did you?

-Hey. Did you?

-Hey, get this one outta here.

[madam] Did you, b*tch?

-Hey! Damn you!

-Ugh.

[music fades]

Hey, Tee! Surrender now.

Are you coming out or what?

Open all the windows.

-You see him there?

-[Ouan] The janitor's here, sir.

Here he is, sir.

Get over there.

How did he escape?

I'm asking you nicely.

Which way did he go?

Do you trust in magic?

[droning music plays]

Go on.

Na closes his eyes

[both] Mo can't see

[all] Bud is hiding

Dha is sleeping

Ya disappears

[all speak in Pali]

[in English] When the smoke

had all gone away,

everyone had disappeared.

That's a fairy tale.

How can a person just disappear?

[janitor grunts]

Search every corner of the house.

Search everywhere. Sergeant?

-Sir?

-Pull up the temple entrance.

He must be hiding somewhere close by.

-Go!

-[Somchai] Yes, sir.

Hey, Ouan, you see,

I told you, they have something special.

We had them surrounded.

How could they just disappear like that?

How did you let him slip away?

Are you trying to humiliate me?

Those damn reporters

are writing terrible sh*t about me.

g*dd*mn it!

sh*t.

[menacing music plays]

I underestimated him.

The witness said he just disappeared, sir.

Don't let those reporters find out

that a cop actually believes that.

Otherwise we're all screwed.

Yes, sir.

The cops put a 50,000 baht bounty

on your head, Tee. Check it out.

Any news about Dao?

About Dao?

Uh [sighs]

Just tell me what you know, Kid.

[exhales sharply] A while ago,

Taweeb went to the brothel.

The hookers were saying that Sam

gave Dao a serious beating.

[Dao shouts]

You're so tough, eh? [shouts]

You want more? [grunts]

I need your help.

-So, are you gonna work or not?

We questioned all of the witnesses

and found out

that two people were missing.

A prost*tute named Dao and Sergeant Sam,

Madame Sri's close associate.

Inspector?

We've caught one of Tee's men.

Hey, Tee. Apparently they got Kid.

He's held at the police station.

Kid'll never give you up.

The police will use him to bait you.

His life is my responsibility.

[Rerk] I can't leave Dao here alone.

[Tee] Hey, Rerk.

[ethereal music plays]

You come with me, Joon.

Let's go.

[ethereal music fades out]

Thank you for helping me.

Yeah.

What's your name?

I'm Pae.

I'm Kid.

What are you in for?

I got into a fight.

Put a b*llet in my stepfather.

He was hitting my mother.

Couldn't stand it anymore.

[Kid] Thank you, Tee, everyone,

for coming to my rescue.

Otherwise, I'd be in deep trouble.

I was nearly caught.

Because of you.

Good thing that Rerk arrived.

You should be thanking him.

Thank you, Rerk.

We should split up.

[Kid] Be careful.

Weeb, you have somewhere I can stay?

Let's go to Damnoen.

You joking?

Tee and I can't set foot

in Damnoen anymore.

I'm gonna go pick up Dao.

When did Dao see Luang Por?

Why didn't you tell me you took her there?

If they find out, Luang Por is in danger

Did you hear what I just said?

[Kid] g*dd*mn it!

[Ouan] Excuse me, sir.

[Weera] Stay here, Sergeant.

You did well.

Very well!

You managed to screw everything up.

What do you think

the prime minister will ask me?

I don't know, sir.

[Weera] You're lucky I'm a merciful man.

Or I'd be sending you

to hunt communists in the north.

Is that all, sir?

I'd like to ask you something.

Do you actually want to catch Tee?

-Or just please your superiors?

-That's enough!

[intriguing music plays]

[intriguing music continues]

Luang Por!

You guys be careful.

The police are all over the temple.

Is everything all right?

Someone named Sam

came looking for you here.

Your woman is alive.

But I'm afraid your mother

[mournful music plays]

[Dao] Mother!

No, Sam!

[shouts]

[Luang Por] Rerk.

You guys need to leave here quickly.

[Kid] Rerk, come on, let's go.

[Rerk cries]

Take it easy, Rerk.

Hey, Rerk.

[mournful music continues]

[Luang Por] Tee?

I want to blame myself.

I made you who you are today.

[car starts up]

[mournful music continues]

[shouts and kicks metal container]

[cries]

[kicks metal container]

Rerk, I'm sorry.

About your mother.

You should've told me.

So what if I had?

Would it have made any difference

if I told you Dao was here?

Wasn't it you?

You were the one

who never wanted to return.

That's right, I didn't want to.

And you shouldn't have come.

Because of you,

it's why I had to leave here.

Rerk, don't you remember

You stay outta this, Kid!

I told you, Tee.

If you'd listened to me,

I wouldn't have had to bring her here.

g*dd*mn it.

Are you blaming me?

Yeah. You're a shitty friend,

you know that?

[Rerk groans]

[Kid] Rerk!

[Rerk sobs]

Go on, do it.

Go on.

[Rerk breathes shakily, sobs]

I never saw my father again.

Not after I met you.

And today, it's my mother!

I

I've been with you my entire life, Tee.

And now I

I have no one left.

[sobbing]

-Was his hair short or long?

-I think his eyes

[man] Three shots were fired.

After the first two shots,

the g*n seemed to jam.

[menacing music plays]

[objects clattering]

-Okay, try again now.

-[Rerk] All right, take it slowly now.

Tee?

[Dao] Rerk.

I'm so sorry.

It's my fault that your mother

[sobs]

Don't blame yourself.

Get some rest now, okay?

Soon, you'll be better.

[gentle music plays]

[Dao sniffs]

[Dao cries]

-[gentle music fades]

-[rain patters outside]

[Kid] Tee?

Next time,

let me help with planning.

Not yet, Kid.

It's just that, Rerk

I think he's over it.

Seems like he wants out completely.

Let him go be with his woman.

You're still way too young, Kid.

You don't know what we've been through.

Everything I've done,

Rerk's always been there.

I'll take care of Sam myself.

You stay here with Dao.

She needs you.

Can you promise me something?

I'm asking you just this once, Tee.

Take care of Dao for me.

Let me go and k*ll him.

I beg you.

No.

He has to die by my hand alone, Tee.

[solemn music plays]

MAE CHEE SAWAI

[solemn music continues]

[cries]

MAE CHEE SAWAI SAISANGWAN

[solemn music turns menacing]

[menacing music continues]

[Rerk] Hey!

[both grunt]

[c*ck shotgun]

Sam.

[shouts]

[grumbles]

[hollers]

[breathes heavily]

Hey, you b*stard

[mumbling] let me go.

[music fades]

[Kid] Tee?

How'd it go, Kid?

I went to check.

No one's in Damneon.

The police, they're causing trouble.

[Dao] Tee.

Have you seen Rerk?

Where did Rerk go?

-[ominous music plays]

-[Rerk hollers]

-[ominous music continues]

-[Rerk hollers]

[Jakarat] Cuff him. Take it off.

[Rerk breathes heavily]

You'll talk now.

Just tell me where to find Tee,

and then I'll leave you alone.

And then you'll get some money

to start a new life.

Huh?

-Ugh.

-[cop] Hey.

Hold him still.

[cackles quietly]

[chuckles]

[Rerk groans]

Just so you know,

nobody on the force

knows you're being held here.

If you don't help me,

it's over, you piece of sh*t.

[c*ck g*n]

[ominous music swells]

[hollers, laughs]

-[g*nsh*t]

-[music stops]

[Kid] Shot.

You still haven't told me

how you got outta jail.

My uncle's a soldier.

He bailed me out.

Your uncle?

Excuse me.

Hey, get yourself a drink.

And don't cheat, as*h*le!

[Pae] Yeah, sure.

Tee.

Who did you bring here?

Oh, him. That's Pae.

He helped me in jail.

Without him,

I'd have ended up dead in there.

It's like this.

Pae heard that Sam

is hunting down Rerk in Bangkok.

He was helping me look out for Rerk,

make sure he's okay.

What did you tell him?

Huh?

I I'm just trying to help find Rerk.

That's why I brought him.

[uneasy music plays]

Who do you think you are?

What were you thinking, Kid?

I don't trust him,

and now I'm starting to not trust you.

Don't ever do anything

like this again.

[uneasy music swells and then fades]

Damn.

Hey, bring me a drink!

What's going on?

It's just Tee.

He doesn't trust your info.

And he blames me for bringing you here.

Damn it. What the f*ck did I do wrong?

Tee.

-He's here.

-Yeah.

He's probably gone now.

Screw it. Let's get drunk.

Yeah.

Screw it.

[radio announcer] A suspect

wanted under arrest warrants

for multiple robbery and homicide cases

in Damnoen district and Bangkok.

Mr. Rerk Srivichien

was a key subordinate of Tee Yai,

the notorious bandit

currently being hunted by the police.

However, the police have not yet released

details about the fatal sh**ting,

citing concerns that it could compromise

the operation to apprehend Tee Yai

[Dao sniffs]

whom they now believe

is hiding in the Damnoen district,

his home town.

Mr. Rerk's body has been transported

to the Police General Hospital

for an autopsy.

[tragic music plays]

It could be a made-up story.

If it's on the radio, it's probably true.

[tragic music continues]

[breathing heavily]

[shouting]

[radio announcer] Here's an update

on the fatal police sh**ting

of Mr. Rerk Srivichien,

a key subordinate of Tee Yai.

The autopsy confirmed

that the cause of death

was g*nsh*t wounds to the forehead.

These were b*ll*ts

fired from police officers' pistols

during an attempted arrest

of Mr. Rerk Srivichien

that resulted in a sh**t-out.

Senior police authorized

the fatal sh**ting of Mr. Rerk

due to concerns

for public safety in the area.

[weeps]

I'm thinking about buying your freedom.

[chuckles] Be serious, will you?

We only just met each other.

[Rerk chuckles]

[tragic music continues]

[Rerk] I really wanna be with you, Dao.

[tragic music continues]

[Pae] This has to be true.

TEE YAI'S RIGHT-HAND MAN

FATALLY SHOT BY POLICE

Ever since Rerk disappeared,

Tee's been acting quite strange.

He doesn't rob. He doesn't do sh*t.

It's like

like he doesn't give a damn

about anything anymore.

[Kid sighs]

[drink sloshes softly]

Go for it yourself.

Why not, huh?

[dark music plays]

Just us.

Show Tee what you can do yourself.

[radio announcer] Breaking news.

Earlier today,

authorities received a report

that Tee Yai's g*ng

has committed robbery and m*rder

in a district of Ratchaburi province.

The g*ng made off with over 100,000 baht

in cash and gold jewelry.

All of the victims were brutally ex*cuted.

It seems the Tee Yai g*ng,

which had laid low for some time now,

is back in action.

The Crime Suppression Division

has swiftly mobilized its forces,

conducting intensive searches

in Damnoen and Saduak

in pursuit of Tee Yai and his men.

[dark music continues]

[hopeful music plays]

[Dao] Tee. Where are you taking me?

We'll move by boat now.

The police won't find us.

I have something to tell you.

I'm pregnant.

With Rerk's child.

I only just found out.

[Dao weeps]

[hopeful music continues]

[hopeful music continues]

[Tee breathes softly]

[sizzling]

[hopeful music continues]

[Rerk chuckles softly]

Rerk.

[footsteps]

[Dao] It's really you.

Where have you been?

[Rerk giggles]

[Rerk] I'm so sorry.

[Tee] Rerk.

Hey.

[Rerk grunts]

[Tee grunts]

[Rerk chuckles]

Don't you know what this is? Huh?

I'm back from the dead.

[laughs]

All of the news reports.

b*stards.

They made them up to bait you.

I thought about warning you,

but I didn't know who I could trust.

What about Sam?

I sent him to hell.

Tee.

I wanna do one more robbery.

[heartfelt music plays]

Get enough to start a new life.

[heartfelt music continues]

After this job, I think

I'm going to move to Nan.

What do you think?

I think we should go.

Let's go now.

Why risk another robbery?

It's the last one, Dao.

Trust me, okay?

[heartfelt music continues]

Hey.

I brought your family back.

The police are everywhere now.

It's like they knew I'd be here.

Who do you think it is?

[sighs]

It's Kid.

He brought in someone I didn't know.

Who's not from Damneon.

I suspect he's a police informant.

When you were in Bangkok,

did you hear anything about this?

No.

[Pae] My plan is almost complete.

Won't be long now before I get to Tee.

[Jakarat] I sent you undercover

to catch a criminal, not to become one.

[foreboding music plays]

Listen to me carefully, all right?

If you don't pull this off,

I will lock you up myself.

[foreboding music continues]

THAI BANK

[music intensifies]

So here's my plan for this job.

Sergeant Ouan and I will be here.

Everyone else will spread out

to surround and catch them.

[vehicle approaches]

THAI BANK

[Jakarat] The cash-transport vehicle

will come through here.

THAI BANK

[Tee] In two days' time,

you guys wait for me

in front of the Thai Bank.

Don't do anything until I get there.

[music turns dramatic]

[dramatic music continues]

[Jakarat] They're going to hit

the cash transport in front of the bank.

That's where we'll ambush them.

[Ouan] Can we trust him, sir?

[Rerk] So in two days,

just wait there outside the Thai Bank,

okay?

Don't forget what we agreed on.

You take Tee alive,

you let Dao and me walk free.

That's the deal.

[dramatic music continues]

[receiver clicks]

[Jakarat] Let me ask you something.

Does Tee actually have magic powers?

[laughs]

[dramatic music continues]

[chuckles]

That day on the train,

how did you escape from us?

I handcuffed you myself!

Nah, close his eyes

Mo can't see

Bud is hiding

Dha is sleeping

Ya disappears

[speaks in Pali]

[breathes deeply]

[music swells, fades]

[Rerk in English] Like that, right?

[Jakarat] You do the same cheap tricks

your father did.

At the janitor's place.

What was that trick?

[dramatic music plays]

Uncle, I need you to help us.

Tell this story to the police.

We'll chant over beetle leaves.

-And then I'll just vanish, okay?

-[Jakarat] Which way did he go?

Do you trust in magic?

When smoke had all gone away,

everyone had disappeared.

[dramatic music continues]

[Rerk] Slowly. Slowly.

[Kid] Watch out.

[grunts]

Okay.

You might call it a cheap trick or magic,

Inspector,

but I pull it off every time.

[engine roaring]

[dramatic music continues]

Do you know the angel trumpet flower?

My father said its poison is potent.

Just take one sniff of it and you're

Out like a light.

[music stops]

Rerk.

I'm coming with you.

I don't think so.

It's not safe.

If you're there,

what do I have to be afraid of?

Dao.

It's too dangerous.

I can't risk it.

I don't wanna risk being alone either.

I know what to do.

[action music plays]

THAI BANK

[cop 1] Officers have secured the roads

surrounding the Thai Bank.

Two of our men are already stationed

inside the cash-transport vehicle.

THAI BANK

Is Tee coming or not?

Don't know.

He said wait, so we wait.

[tires screeching]

[car idles]

This'll take five minutes to do.

[Ouan] I knew

we couldn't trust these b*stards.

[tense music plays]

[Tee] Get out. Out!

[guard grunts]

Tee.

Hey, the police are here!

-[Rerk] Hey!

-[Dao yelps]

Dao.

Damn it.

Tee. Pull back.

Pull back, Tee.

[Jakarat] f*cking Tee.

[Tee grunts]

Come on.

[Jakarat] You b*stard, Tee.

[shouts] Tee!

[yelps]

Grenade!

Come on, Dao.

[Rerk grunts]

FIRECRACKER LADY

[Ouan] Hey!

[hollers]

[yells] You b*stard.

[music crescendos]

It's been over half an hour.

Think he's bailed.

[music fades]

[Dao breathes heavily, yells]

Dao.

Hey, hey, hey. Dao, Dao, Dao.

Stay with me, Dao. Dao.

[Dao breathes uneasily]

Dao, I'm sorry,

I shouldn't have brought you.

I was worried about you.

If something happened to you,

how would our child and I get on?

[Rerk breathes deeply]

[pensive music plays]

[Dao moans]

This is the karma

that you must now accept.

Your past is catching up with you.

Please, Luang Por.

Please save Dao and Rerk's child.

Luang Por,

there's a police officer for you here.

[Tee] I'm begging you, Luang Por.

I'll take whatever comes.

I'll accept death.

I'll bear all the karma.

[Luang Por] You need to leave now.

I'll handle everything here.

[cop] Tee and his g*ng

are in a yellow pickup truck.

They fled the temple

through the back door, Inspector.

We'll wait for them here.

[pensive music continues]

[Rerk] Let's go.

[pensive music turns menacing]

[g*nshots]

[hollers]

[hollers]

[menacing music swells]

[Jakarat] If you help me,

I promise

I'll take Tee alive.

[dramatic music plays]

Tee would rather die than go to jail.

Death is too easy for him.

I'll lock him up to rot.

He'll live to see the day he's forgotten.

[Tee] I'll get you outta here.

We'll find a better place.

[Rerk] Yeah.

[dramatic music continues]

[Tee grunts]

[cops shout]

[dramatic music fades]

[sighs]

[Tee breathes heavily]

Rerk

I don't think I'll make it.

Damn it.

Damn it, Tee. Damn it, damn it, damn it.

[mournful music plays]

It wasn't meant to turn out like this.

I wish we'd had more fun together.

No, no, no, no, Tee.

I'm so glad to have you as a friend.

Tee. No. [cries]

-You need to make it back to your child.

-No, Tee.

And Dao.

We have to make it through together, man.

Come on. Come on, please. Tee.

I want you to be the one

Who shoots me.

f*ck. No.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, no, no.

sh**t me.

sh**t me!

would create another criminal.

And destroy everyone involved.
