01x05 - The Focal Point

[bunniefuu]

-A hit and run!
-She's a Westerner!

-Westerner. Is she dead?
-Someone call the police!

DALAH: DEATH AND THE FLOWERS

Sir, do you have any updates?

-Any updates on the case?
-Order, please.

Based on forensic evidence,

we’ve found discrepancies
in one of the witness's statements.

Hence, the investigation team
has issued a summons

to Miss Dalah Rose for further questioning

regarding Dr. Anusorn Uathepa’s m*rder.

What’s the new development?

Can't reveal that yet.

The forensic report

estimates Ohm’s time of death
to be after 11 p.m.

At that time, no one was inside the studio

except the owner,

Dalah Rose.

She lied to us about Ohm.

I saw him drive out around 11 p.m.

After I heard
the electrical transformer explode,

I went to bed
and didn’t hear anything unusual.

The autopsy results
show that Ohm died after 11 p.m.

So, it's been impossible for him

to have driven out of the studio
at the time Dalah mentioned.

I found this detail rather suspicious,

so I went back to the hotel.

Do you know how far it is
from here to the studio?

Twenty kilometers, sir.

When you factor in
the mileage recorded at the hotel,

I found that after Ohm's car
arrived at the flower studio,

it never left again.

It stayed there without moving.

Dalah altered the timeline
to cover her own actions.

What about Risa? Why did she
have to run while Dalah didn't?

Because it seems Dalah set Risa up
to look like the k*ller from the start.

As of now,

we're still unable to contact
or locate Miss Dalah Rose.

Besides, the police have also uncovered

Miss Dalah's actual family name
is not "Rose".

Dalah Rose is, in fact, Dalah Larsen.

Does that ring a bell?

And the data retrieved
from Dr. Anusorn's mobile phone

shows an interesting text exchange
from that night.

Ohm may have grown suspicious of Dalah,

or he might have recognized her,

so he texted her to question her.

Why do you find me suspicious?

I've noticed your curiosity since dinner.

Who are you?

Why did you fake your profile
to get this job?

Dalah shot Ohm with Risa's g*n?

Or maybe Ohm tried
to defend himself with that g*n first?

She deliberately
got herself on your radar, Ekapop.

Miss Dalah's real last name is "Larsen".

"Rose" is just a name she made up.

Soon,

we’ll be able to solve the case.

The police are urgently asking anyone

who may be involved in this setup

-to come in for further questioning.
-Normally, the staff are all here by now.

Sarath is on duty today as well.

Where is Sarath?

He's on leave, sir.

Where does he live?

We're also ramping up
our security measures

to prevent unauthorized individuals
from tampering with the evidence

and compromising the investigation.

I want to take this opportunity
to urge anyone

who might have information
on Miss Dalah's whereabouts

to contact the authorities
and provide the necessary details

to prove your innocence
regarding any involvement with her.

Otherwise, once the truth emerges

that Miss Dalah is involved
in Mr. Anusorn's death,

you may be charged as an accomplice,

which is punishable by law.

If anyone encounters Miss Dalah,
please notify us immediately.

And Miss Narisa--

Welcome to the voicemail service.

Please leave your message after the tone.

And Miss Narisa, if you're watching this,

I urge you
to leave Miss Dalah immediately.

POLICE INTENSIFY INVESTIGATION
INTO "ANUSORN UATHEPA" m*rder

Do not trust her anymore.

Miss Risa, Mr. Kris just called.
He's on his way here.

It's okay.

Gardenia jasmine.

A symbol of innocence.

You've seen the news?

I can't take it anymore.

All of this…

Now I…

I can't trust anyone.

And I'm starting to wonder…

who you really are.

Never mind. Even if you don't tell me,

I've decided to give myself up
to the police anyway.

Tonight, I'm going to reveal to everyone

who the k*ller is.

Then you can go back
to living your normal life

as an innocent woman.

Please give me the chance to prove this,

and everything will be alright, I promise.

Thank you.

I had someone dig up her profile
and discovered

that her current Instagram account

was created not long after
the announcement

of Ohm's and Risa's wedding.

Tell me how she became
Ohm and Narisa’s floral designer?

I thought I already explained
what I wanted!

Excuse me.

Oh, this is Miss Somsamai, or Jae Som.

Most of the flowers in the wedding
came from her shop.

I accidentally overheard your problem.

Here.

I can introduce you to an upcoming,
super-stylish floral designer.

Way to go!
The young generation with 110% confidence.

It's a privilege that you've entrusted me
with this job, Mr. Ekapop.

It must be destiny.

Exactly. This is not a coincidence.

Agreed.

Neither luck nor coincidence.

Ekapop.

If there's another reason behind
that you're still keeping from me,

or if you're still
withholding information from me,

-I suggest you tell--
-What kind of person do you think I am?

How dare you even doubt me.

Please, big brother, don't be upset.

Look, the other day,

I talked to Mr. Vibul.

It seems that

besides the clip that was
supposed to be shown at the wedding,

someone had also sent a similar photo
to the For Thai Society Party,

and you were aware of this

because Mr. Vibul told me you took them.

It's not the first time

we've had to deal
with political smear campaigns.

Ohm was a rising star.

Had he lived,
he would've become the next PM.

It's not unusual

that the old guard
would do anything to stop him.

-But why didn't you tell me about it?
-Why the f*ck did I have to?

Because we would've
identified the k*ller by now--

f*ck it, Montree!

How dare you talk to me like this.

Have you forgotten
why you have what you have

instead of rotting away in prison?
Because of whom?

Who saved you
from that extrajudicial k*lling case

way back then?

And how are you still able
to prance around as "Chief Montree"?

Because of whom?

Because of you, big brother.

Good that you remember.

So, your job now

is to find the b*stard who k*lled my son.

Stop f*cking with other things.

Got it?

Yes.

WHEN WILL RISA COMES TO HER SENSES?

FORTUNE TELLER

Dalah

-kidnapped Narisa for sure.
-Anybody, please

-find that b*tch Dalah…
-Today, we're going to do Dalah's makeup…

-Inspired by the murderess.
-You're the k*ller, aren't you, Dalah?

-Please give me flowers too, Miss Dalah!
-f*ck! Go get her!

You b*stard!

I hope we didn't make
the wrong choice trusting her.

Are her intentions genuinely sincere?

No matter what happens,

this time,
I’m going to be by your side, Bee.

Direct all units to immediately
track the location in the photo.

Yes, Chief Montree.

-Find it immediately.
-Yes, sir.

-How's it going?
-Still not found, sir. Try that one.

Found it.

It's a love motel.

Send out the location.
Have the team barge in.

Whoa, whoa! Wait!

Hey, hey! What the hell?

Hey, wait!

-Hey! What are you doing?
-Come on. Let's talk.

-Move in!
-The suspect might be hiding here.

-Jacuzzi Room 3!
-No way! Show me the warrant first.

We're at the motel, sir.
But they're not here.

Alright, I'll be there soon.

I have to go out again.

You and Gorya go ahead
and have dinner first.

Don’t wait for me.

You’re going out again?

This case is a real mess.

Oh, I almost forgot.
There’s an envelope for you on the table.

A messenger dropped it off
when I was going out earlier.

BEE

Don’t be scared. Sleep tight.

Dad, what are you watching?

Gorya, get out!

SEE YOU, DALAH LARSEN

Miss Dalah.

Why are you here?

Aren’t you going to tell me anything?

You’ll find out soon enough.

Everyone will.

Hey, miss.

Sorry.

You see me like any other person
with no significance, don’t you?

Mr. Sarath.

Tell me honestly.

Am I still important to you?

Important?

I never really ask myself

whether you are or not.

What do you think?

I remember what you taught me.

While the little flowers may not
occupy prominent spots in the design,

but without them,

the principle blooms
won’t stand out as much, Dalah.

To be honest, your flower arranging
isn't something special.

Mr. Sarath.

We don't know each other that well.

I know.

Because you don’t want to know me.

I’m sorry.

What do you mean?

Because when I was
practicing flower arranging at home…

Yes, I did practice.

And that’s when I realized I felt happier

when I knew I was doing it for someone,

not just for myself.

And you need me

because I might be the only one
who believes you’re not doing all this

just for yourself, Dalah.

Ekapop.

Come talk to me in my room.

-Have you taken your med--
-Enough with the medicine.

If I die, I want to die peacefully.

I want to know about that girl.

Dalah.

-Montree said the time of death--
-I don’t care about that!

The news said
that girl's real surname is Larsen.

That’s what they said.

I may be old,

but I can still remember
what happened 30 years ago.

Lots of Westerners share the same surname.
Don’t overthink it.

I’m more surprised
you never thought about it at all.

How can you be so sure
it has nothing to do with that?

Mother, let's not jump to conclusions.

Maybe there’s no connection at all.

What if there is?!

What if that girl
is really that woman’s daughter?

Ekapop.

You know what you have to do, right?

Yes.

I’ll take care of it.

Yes?

What kind of cop are you, Montree?!

She’s just a girl,
and you can’t even catch her!

That photo was taken
at some love motel, right?

What’s going on?

Yes.

My men went there,

but they couldn’t find her.

I don’t care
what kind of scheme she’s up to,

but you better be ready
to drag her a*s to jail tonight

because I want to see her arrested.

Please, sir.

Kittisak.

-Oh, hello.
-Is your father home?

Pa went out just now
to buy some medicine at the nearby mall.

Did he go by car?

I’m asking, did he go by car?

Well, usually, he wouldn’t walk there.

Koon!

Where’s your driver?

What’s going on, Mr. Ekapop?

Where the hell is your driver?

Koon quit yesterday.

Passengers traveling to Loei Province,
Chiang Khan District,

the train has now arrived
at platform number 12.

And you just let him leave?

-What?
-Why did you let him go?

-Ekapop!
-Why?!

-What's going on?
-Why?!

-Why did you let him go?
-Please calm down.

Please…

TO THE UATHEPA FAMILY

TO THE TANGSINSUP FAMILY

TO THE TANGSINSUP FAMILY

TO THE UATHEPA FAMILY

What is it, Pa?

Don’t set up dinner.

We’re going to see Dalah tonight.

Huh?

What?

-What?
-I don't know.

Hello.

To my honorable guests
who've received this letter,

I apologize for not inviting you in person

and for using
an old-fashioned means of invitation.

But I had to suspend all
communication devices for the time being.

Tonight at 8 p.m.,

I’d like to invite all members
of the Uathepa family

and the Tangsinsup family

to meet me at my flower studio,

the very site
where Mr. Anusorn Uathepa was m*rder*d.

It’s time.

Narisa is with me.

Should the Tangsinsup family
fail to attend,

I cannot guarantee her safety.

As for the Uathepa family,

you are well aware of all the skeletons
hidden in your own closet.

If you don’t come,

I’ll go live on social media
to expose your story to the whole country,

down to the last detail.

It’s time, Pam.

If all of you are present
at the time specified,

I promise

that I will surrender myself
after the arrangement

as a final gesture
of gratitude to all of you.

See you soon. Dalah Larsen.

Mom.

Where the hell are you?

I don’t see any
of your stakeout team here.

Hi, everyone.

This way, please.

Our honorable guests.

-Oh, please park your shoes here.
-What?

-Shoes off.
-Do I have to?

Yes, sir.

Why all this hassle?
I don't want to lose my shoes.

-Move, eldest-in-law!
-Jib!

Thank you, everyone,

for your cooperation

and for accepting my invitation.

Risa!

Are you alright?

I’m fine.

And I am…

safe and sound.

The selfie that I posted online

was meant to buy some time
for tonight's preparations.

Listen!

Hurry up and say what you want.
This nonsense is a waste of time.

Please calm down.

The night is still young.

The truth is about to reveal itself,

and I promise you

it concerns every single one of you.

Now, let's have some Dalah tea.

I'm sure many of you
have never tasted it before.

Jae Som just got it this afternoon.

It's really good.

Enough of this nonsense!

If you have nothing to say,

just wait for the police.

I'm out of here.

I understand that

you and the Uathepa family are eager
to find out what happened to Mr. Anusorn.

But first, I'd like
to introduce someone important.

Someone the Uathepa knows very well.
Someone crucial to our event tonight.

Good evening, sir.

Thank you, Mr. Koon,

for joining our special event tonight.

I'm…

I'm sorry.

You're not the one
who should be apologizing to me.

Hey!

Stop dilly-dallying.

What's Koon got to do with all of this?

Have a sip to cool yourself down.

-Forget your damn tea.
-But tonight, I've gathered you all here

to reveal

who the k*ller is

and how all these threads

intertwine and connect with each other.

How everyone,

Mr. Koon included,

is tangled up in one big story.

That night was livelier than we thought.
