"Hello?" "Your phone kept ringing so I answered it." "You didn't have to." "Just let it go unanswered." "I get lots of prank calls." "I don't want anything to disturb us tonight." "I'll be right back." "The number you are trying to reach cannot be connected" "Excuse me, ma'am" "What?" "What is your husband's occupation?" "He is a professor." "I'm afraid it's only been a few hours." "But I've been up all night." "I can't sit and do nothing." "I'll go mad." "You don't understand." "He didn't take his car." "And he shouldn't have left on our..." "How long have you been married?" "Why do you ask?" "Why does it matter?" "...the police pulled the body from the river." "They suspect he had been dead for eight hours." "But there was no sign of physical injury." "And no personal effects... but a parking stub, plate number 523, and a drycleaner's ticket for Yingsak, presumably the victim's vehicle an identity." "The police suspect he was murdered elsewhere..." "What do you need?" "I haven't much time." "Ms. Sipang." "Please sign the statement." "We have to wait 24 hours until the police will do anything" "Let me enlighten you." "He hasn't gone missing." "He's in some den." "The gambling ghost must..." "give him up before he can go home" "That's not true. I don't believe you." "You'll just have to get used to it." "Next time, if it's not a real emergency, leave me alone" "is Chat here?" "No, he's not." "Try him at the garage." "I'm afraid I'll miss him." "Can I wait here?" "Let's go inside. lt's going to rain." "He'll be back soon." "Excuse me." "What are you doing here?" "It's been 3 days and still no news of Napat." "The police doesn't have any leads." "You mentioned a gambling den." "Can you take me there?" "You think I'm like him?" "I don't know where it is." "Then why did you mention it?" "Busaba, take the glasses away." "I'll ask around." "But I can't promise." "I'll call you once I get word." "Moei" "Hello?" "Chat?" "They'll take me?" "Where?" "Hey Hiang, long time no see." "Brought some friends with me." "Come on." "Leave your purse in the locker." "Excuse me." "I have to check your purse." "It's okay." "He's with me." "The cops have been cracking down lately." "Don't mind them." "Coming in?" "See you inside." "How are you, Hia?" "Hiang, how's it going?" "Have you seen Napat?" "His wife's looking for him." "Napat, huh?" "Noi, come over here." "Yeah, what do you want?" "First things first." "I meant to come sooner but didn't have time." "It's all here?" "Of course." "Have you seen Napat?" "Why would he be here?" "Who's this?" "That woman." "I see." "You're the one who should know where he is." "I've made up my mind." "Once I'm married, I'm going to quit." "Yeah right." "Everyone says they'll quit but they always come back." "What did he say?" "I'm going to quit for the one I love." "Never fails to crack me up." "I'm going now." "If we meet one day and I ignore... you please don't take offense." "If he's not here, then where is he?" "Maybe he's back home." "The gate was open." "So I let myself in." "I didn't mean to scare you." "Chat's not home." "I didn't come to see him." "I came to see you." "What are you doing?" "Thought I'd give it a try." "To see if sweat might clear my mind." "Thank you." "That's enough. I'll finish up." "It's getting hot." "Can I take a shower?" "I'm all sticky." "It's more tiring than I thought." "Sure, the bathroom's upstairs." "Please wait here." "Thank you." "Bathroom's there." "Tong Dee, bring out the body." "Wait." "It's not." "That's not my brother." "Mr. And Mrs. Chatchai, I need to question you both." "It's been ten days... and we need fresh leads." "My garage is swamped with work." "If that's the case, I'll question you there." "Okay?" "Never mind, I'll clear sometime." "Do his gambling friends know." "I don't know." "I told you I don't know a thing." "Did they argue often?" "Every now and then." "Typical siblingspats." "Were they happily married?" "You're asking the wrong person." "I haven't a clue." "He suddenly decided to get married." "At first, I thought he got her pregnant." "I can go now, right?" "Just a second, Mrs. Busaba." "Do you know about the gun?" "Chatchai's gun." "But he's never fired that gun before." "Are you absolutely sure?" "Go on." "Wipe away." "Can you hear me?" "How about here." "And here." "And here." "The floor there is all worn out." "You know about the gun, right." "Don't act dumb, the cops told me everything." "What are you talking about?" "Come back here." "Chat beats you this badly?" "He beats you into submission, doesn't he?" "You don't understand." "One week before my wedding, what did Chat do to Napat?" "That gun." "He used it to shoot Napat, right?" "No." "You need to be brave." "Chat found out that Napat forged his signature and... mortgaged the house." "But that has nothing to do with Napat's." "Did Napat really do that?" "How about you?" "Does Chat beat you often?" "It's nothing. I'm used to it." "If I close my eyes and forget, it all passes away." "Thank you." "Now you know my secret." "If you knew mine, you might laugh." "You have fears like this too?" "Can I not tell you?" "I'm embarassed." "There are other gas stoves." "Why don't you buy a new one?" "Chat doesn't let me replace things he buys." "Soda." "Thank you." "I wonder why you married someone like Chat." "It's nothing romantic." "We were neighbors and he asked me so I said yes." "Our wedding was small." "Nothing special like yours." "We blessed the house and had some monks chant." "We had no guests to invite." "Just the three of us." "How about you?" "Why did you marry Napat?" "You must have had so many choices." "Funny you ask. I don't know." "Maybe he's like this can of juice." "You have to take a sip to see what it's like." "If you don't like it you have to try a new flavor." "So are you sure yet if he is the right flavor?" "Prof. Napat Kajornboon" "What is it, Thanong?" "When I said I had something to show you, it was just a suspicion." "Don't get upset." "I was looking for some papers and found this." "I didn't mean to." "What is her name?" "Picha." "Does she go by any other name?" "I don't know." "That's Picha." "All men are flirtatious" "What would you do if you were me?" "I don't know." "Probably nothing." "I believe what is ours will always be ours." "Can you still love someone who betrays you?" "Can you do that?" "Did I say something wrong?" "If you love someone, you love him no matter what." "How can you stop loving him?" "But sometimes it's best to look past their faults." "Come, let's go out and forget about men." "You paid for everything, the clothes, the food." "Here's my money." "It's okay. lt was nothing." "Friends don't charge friends." "I don't deserve to be your friend." "Don't say that." "I'm no better than you." "I'm sure I've done worse things than you." "Come now, don't cry." "Don't cry." "It's getting dark." "Let's head home." "Let's head home. lt's almost dark." "Good evening." "Learning to leave your man and home." "What's with the new clothes?" "I'll change right now." "I'm so sorry." "I didn't think it'd turn out like this." "My life can't be changed." "Busaba, you have to be brave." "You can't give in." "If you give up, nothing will change." "I'll help you out." "Does it hurt?" "Let me apply some oilment." "Let's get you changed." "Where are your pajamas?" "In the closet." "Can you stay with me tonight?" "Yes." "Can't sleep?" "Suddenly, I felt scared." "Scared of what?" "I don't know." "I want to know the truth." "It's all a muddle in my head." "What for?" "The truth hurts." "More than you could stand." "It's funny, though." "If I could turn back time, I'd stil l choose Napat." "Do you know that he was my first?" "It wasn't an easy choice for me." "He was moody that night." "We argued over nothing." "I got mad and chased him from my car." "It was raining hard but I left him there." "When I turned my car back, he was in the same spot." "He looked so sad." "When he saw me, he hugged me and cried." "Have you ever seen a man cry?" "I don't know why but it's such a sad sight." "Something wrong with your bed at home?" "I know you're worried but I have things to do." "You can confide in me." "I'm your friend." "Just cover for me, okay." "You're always like this." "Fine, I'll cover for you." "See you later." "Hello, Napat?" "Hello?" "I'm not going to hurt you." "Don't be scared." "Excuse me. ls everything okay?" "Yeah." "My friend's just drunk." "Drunk?" "What do you want?" "When will you stop hounding me?" "You got him didn't you?" "I know he's with you." "How could he be with me?" "Quit playing these games." "Last time, you pushed me to the brink of madness." "What do you mean?" "We've never met." "Do you think I'm making this up?" "No way, there's no way she knows about us." "What kind of game is this?" "Your girlfriend called and threatened to kill me." "I guess you don't need this key anymore." "You won't mind... if I destroyed it, right?" "I need to put the past behind me." "I think you should learn to do so as well." "I can't be bothered with selfish men like that." "If you didn't call, then who did?" "Thanong, it's the right address." "We talked." "I have to go." "I have another call." "Hello?" "Chat...he..." "Aunt ?" "Aunt ?" "Aunt ?" "Are you okay?" "is anything wrong?" "Who are you?" "Where's Moei?" "Moei" "Why" " You ungrateful child." "Moei" " Moei" "You lied to me." "You've lied all along." "How could you, Busaba?" "How could you do this?" "Where is Napat?" "Tell me where he is." "If I tell you where he is will we still be friends?" "I didn't mean to." "We were lovers long before he met you." "Just like you." "He was my first, too." "Here are my wedding photos." "It was the day Napat moved up North and told me." "You know, through countless women he always came back to me." "Until he met you." "He promised never to leave me." "But that bastard never kept his word." "What did you do to him?" "Now what, Busaba?" "Now it's a gun?" "Don't you understand?" "We can't be together." "We've been living lies." "It's time we did the right thing." "What is it?" "Don't you understand?" "You have to stop these crazy games" "Don't you love me anymore?" "Do you know what he said?" "Sorry." "He said he felt sorry for me." "And he had the gut to question my love." "My love?" "This proves my love." "You want to die?" "Do you really want to die?" "Next time this happens, I'll shoot you myself." "Haven't you had enough?" "Fine. lf you want to die, go ahead." "But let me leave first." "I don't want to clean your bloody mess." "If it was you, you'd do the same, right?" "Moei" " Moei" "Come." "Let's go see Napat." "He's here with us now." "He'll never leave."
