[English subtitles are available.] [The rose of old remains only in its name; we possess naked names. From The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco] [A cat; The corpse] Who said you could eat? You’re very dead. You’re not afraid of me being dead, but you’d be afraid if I were alive?
I am just not very good with the living. Seems like you have serious issues with the living. I’m talking to you. Show some respect for the deceased. How would you like to die? Raped and then killed. Suicide. Don’t be so careless! Look at the strangulation marks, the rope print, typical murder. It’s suicide.
Case closed. [30 minutes after death] [A cut on neck] [Broken hyoid bone] [Bleeding cornea] [Boring] [Boring] [Boring] [Boring] [Boring] [Boring] [Boring] [A bit interesting] What were these for? Take a guess. What a shame that you’re not a detective! Why do you have smells of two types of cigarettes? You smoke Camel.
So who had the Menthol? Again, take a guess. The murderer? So I really did kill myself. Maybe you’re more of the killer type. Don’t be so cruel! Dogs often wait longer. Dogs? Wait longer for what? The body. If left in a closed room,
Dogs will wait three or four days before they start eating the body, But cats, they will start licking a corpse within 24 hours. That’s all I can do. Take care. My name is Lin Mo. I used to be a high school chemistry teacher. But that was only my day job.
During the night, I would become a scavenger that walks the line between good and evil, the line between the law and crimes. But now, I have once again changed my profession. I now work for Tang Ren Detective Agency in Chinatown, as a detective. [Detective Chinatown: The Name of the Rose] Come in.
Come out now or no noodles for you. No! Did you go out to do bad things again last night? Hurry up and eat. It doesn’t taste as good when it’s cold. My Momo makes the best noodles in the world! You’re keeping the dead man’s cat? Why not? Being a stray is terrible.
Her name is Rice. If you want, I can ask her about her owner’s life. No need for that. There’s something I want to talk to you about. Can I drop out of school? What will you do if you don’t go to school? But my schoolmates are childish! That’s because you’re so precocious.
That’s why you should spend more time with them. How about I go to your school instead? Don’t you think I draw enough attention already? Well, I can be your assistant. I’ll go wherever you go. If you don’t go to school, I’ll have to send you back to the orphanage. Alright.
You done eating yet? I’m leaving now. Wait, wait! Wait for me! Hush. Could you not bring your army with you to school? Mind your own business. By the way, you should be more careful these days. Of what? There’s some strange stuff. Strange stuff? Strange things are frequently lurking around your house.
So you should watch out. There could be trouble coming. What do you mean? Animals? Or men? The cats told me about it. You just need to stay alert, especially next time when you see the dead. Got it. Running out of pocket money? Just remember that… Yeah, yeah, I know, stay in school.
You really are getting old. So naggy. Take care of yourself. That weirdo gave you money again? Well, what do you give him in return? He gives you money all the time! Can you teach us how you did it? Can you teach us how you did it? We want money too.
Or maybe we give you money instead? Whatever that weirdo did to you, we want to do the same. He is not a weirdo. Go away! Not a chance. Do you want those stinky shoes of yours to get stolen by cats again? And what about that dead rat in your drawer? You like it?
It was her! Monster! She is a monster! Master! Master! It’s our fault. We broke the rules. I’ll find Smiley and get revenge for you. No, don’t ever do that. You’re no rival to them. Leave… Thai… Master. Master. Master. No murders, no big crimes, five more days of peace… Boss, someone died! Hello, sir.
Hello. Detective… That’s Deputy Chief to you in just five more days! Let’s keep it down. Okay, okay. What did forensics say? The door was locked from the inside. What does that mean? The crime scene is in an enclosed room. Enclosed room? That means nobody could come in from the outside.
So it’s a suicide. Our boss is the wisest. You can’t jump to conclusions like that. Who are you? PK53986, Deputy Detective Sasha, reporting for duty. Deputy Detective? Reporting for duty? Where did she come from? Can I borrow you for a second? How come you never told me? Well, you didn’t ask.
I’m asking you now. And I’m giving you answers. So who is she? She is the daughter of Superintendent Julie. We just got the notice this morning. You knew about this too? I did. So you’re Superintendent Julie’s precious daughter. You’re just as pretty as she is. Boss, are you alright? What are you doing?
I’m protecting exhibits of the crime scene. What’s that supposed to mean? What are you saying? You’re saying we are destroying evidence? Let me tell you something, our boss was… He was investigating! Exactly! Sorry, boss. Yes, that’s right, I was investigating. This chair… Anything suspicious about it? Were you investigating with your butt?
You love to make a big scene, don’t you? Alright, young lady, let me teach you something about deduction. Let’s start with this chair. Does the position of the chair show any sign of a scuffle? The chair is neatly positioned. No sign of any scuffle. Is that a strangulation scar? Yes, it is.
Does it match the wound on the body? It’s a perfect match. Is there bleeding on the cornea? Massive bleeding. Fractured hyoid bone? The cause of death is strangulation of the throat. Typical suffocation. Even a police academy freshman would know that. Where was the door locked? From the inside! An enclosed space,
No forced entry into the room, strangulation by an external force on the neck, and no signs of scuffle. So it could only be suicide by hanging! What about the cat? What? There was obviously a cat in the house. If he hanged himself, where did the cat go? He let the cat out,
’cause he knew he was going to die. Yeah. He wouldn’t want to kill it. Yeah! No brainer! Where’s your compassion for animals? He let his pet go but he didn’t leave a note to his family. Don’t you find that strange? Is it? If he had let his family go
And left a note to his pet, that would be strange. What was his motive for suicide? Who do you think you are? Do people need to report to you if they want to die? His cellphone is gone. Only young people like you can’t survive a day without a cellphone.
Yeah. What is the big deal if he lost his cellphone? Yeah. I just lost mine. There are usually crucial clues in a cellphone. Don’t you want to know who he had called before he died? What if he didn’t use a cellphone? In an enclosed room like this, you tell me,
If he didn’t kill himself, then who did? Anyways, this case happened in my district, so I’m in charge of it. If he didn’t kill himself, then I will kill myself. Nepotism. Amateur. Ridiculous. Mr. Lin, what magic trick are you gonna show us today? The point is not to do magic tricks,
But to learn what’s behind the magic. Chemistry is one of the most fascinating subjects in the world. Different substances mingle, conflict, and reject, before they merge into something new. Just like life itself, lustrous, dazzling and full of the unknown. I’m hoping that you’ll be like me and
Fall in love with the subject. I’m not sure about falling in love with chemistry, but a horde of girls are falling for the chemistry teacher. What did Mr. Lin say to make everyone laugh so hard? Come in. This is your new classmate, Angie. Angie, say hello to the class and introduce yourself. I…
I… Angie’s a little shy. Why don’t we give her some time to know everyone? Then she can introduce herself. You can take a seat over there. Let’s welcome Angie with a round of applause. It’s suicide. Are you sure? Absolutely sure. It was definitely suicide. Chief, please rest assured. Eliminating evil, bringing peace,
And enforcing justice is the obligation of every policeman. I do not live for a promotion, and I won’t let any bad guys get away. Of course, I can’t just randomly waste police resources, right? Good. As for Superintendent Julie’s daughter, Sasha, I think she… What do you think of her? She is great.
That’s right! I also think she’s great! Just so great! Chief, rest assured. I believe that under my supervision, she is gonna become an exceptional female detective. Dulang, I remember my promise to you. If no major murders occur over the next five days, the position of Deputy Chief will be yours. Yes, sir!
[The archive room] You! Who are you? Why are you here in the middle of the night? Who are you? And why are you sneaking into my archive room? I’m sorry, sir. My name is Wen Song. I’m in charge of this archive room. Is there anything I can help you with? Nothing really.
I was just browsing. Well, browse away. Is your name Sasha? How do you know that? So it is you. After you arrived this morning, the entire bureau knew by noon. Are you here looking for files on the Pade Mansion case? Yes! From what I know, the victim, Gade, was a private detective.
That’s right. Isn’t a private detective allowed to kill himself? Anything wrong with that? But he had bought groceries for a whole week the day before he died. Isn’t that strange? You are just like me when I was young. When I just started working at the bureau,
All the cases looked sketchy to me. Especially the first one. I was always thinking to myself, things can’t be that simple. It turned out that things really could be that simple. Don’t compare me with those fuzzy rookies. I graduated with honors, first in my school five years in a row.
Isn’t that something! Come take a seat, Honor Graduate. I’m feeling a little hungry. I will go grab a bite to eat. Feel free to browse whatever you want to kill time. [File on Gade’s case] My midnight snack will take a while. Thank you, sir. My name is Wen Song.
You can call me Uncle Wen. Make yourself at home. Uncle Wen, I think compared to Dulang, you’re much more qualified to be the Deputy Chief. That comment can’t leave this room. Don’t go around talking like that. That man is really petty. He can hold a grudge. Understand? Furthermore,
I’m only in charge of paperwork. I don’t solve cases, so a promotion is not in the cards for me. When I get a case, I’ll take you as my partner. Sounds good to me! It’s a deal. Sasha, your mother is the No.1 beauty in the entire police force of Thailand,
The glory and pride of us Chinese. Thank you. It seems like you must take after your father. Enough. Congratulations, boss. Boss? We should be saying Deputy Chief! Deputy Chief. Deputy Chief. Let’s not rush things. Let’s not rush things. We still have ten hours to go until midnight, right? Right! Perfect!
Over the next few hours, we will prepare champagne for a celebration. And at midnight, you will become the Deputy Chief. That’s right! Only a few hours left! There’s no way any big crimes will happen in our district. Don’t jinx it! Ten hours, only ten hours! These ten hours will be unbearable, right? Right!
Why are you weeping? Why did you steal my money? Speak up! No. It wasn’t me. What happened? Mr. Lin, she stole my textbook money and stashed it in her locker. I found it myself, and caught her in the act. We can testify! She’s done it before. Mr. Lin, I didn’t steal it.
It was there when I got here. I don’t know anything about it. That sounds pretty strange. Who could have done that besides you? No one else can open your locker. Are you saying the money went into your locker on its own? What do you want? Me?
I want the braceface to apologize in front of the entire school. And she should give back the money. Okay. Let’s do it. You hear that? You will apologize in front of the entire school, and pay her the amount of money that was stolen. No. Mr. Lin, you’ve got it wrong.
She is the one who stole the money. In your hand cream, there is C10H30O5Si5, CH6203, C18H6230, and in Angie’s locker, there’s still your handcream’s smell. Bullshit. You’re covering for her ’cause she is in your class. You want more evidence? What evidence? It’s right inside your pocket. All of the locks look the same.
When Angie opened her locker this morning, you replaced her lock with yours. And while no one was watching, you put the money inside her locker then switched the locks back. That’s how you framed Angie as the thief. To be able to accomplish that you needed a third lock. Are you the new girl?
What’s your name? Angie. I’m Meixin. Let’s go. If you really want more evidence, I can call the police right now to come see if Angie’s fingerprints are on this lock. Don’t… Mr. Lin, don’t call the cops. It’s my fault. I set braceface up. I’m sorry. Then it’s decided.
You’ll apologize in front of the school. Don’t ever do it for money again. Don’t ever do it for money again. Understood. You should all remember, chemistry can not only save lives, but also protect the innocence of good people and punish those who deserve it. Mr. Lin! Thank you. Thank you.
Your pimples are caused by the formaldehyde in your nail polish. Try a different brand. [Kunta, 12:00, Shanghai, Club 305] Guys, gently. Put that in the center. Good. Fruit platter in there. Wine over here. Some flowers. Nice. Nice. Put it in the center. Good. Hurry up, hurry up. Thank you. You’re welcome. Cheers!
Everybody! Quiet please! Let’s do a countdown for our boss. Ready? Ten. Nine. Seven. Six. Boss! Bad news, boss… We got a report that… What? Someone is killing people in the Broadway Mansions Hotel! Let’s go! What have you got? The blood is still warm. The murderer left less than ten minutes ago.
The marks must look fairly familiar to you. Same method. Same killer. Sushimaker. The same guy who murdered Yu is back. What else do you see? Neck and back, two obvious stabbings in crucial body parts. Uneven depths of the wounds suggest the victim was attacked from behind. Such a particular scent.
Is it confusing even for a perfume specialist like you? It’s a unique blend. But still different from the one. Stop thinking about that. Wake up, man. You’re running out of time. You went to the florist, but didn’t buy any flowers. Who says you have to buy flowers at a florist?
The spinal curvature on the fourth vertebrae means you have a sedentary job. Isn’t that true of all modern people? A bulge on one side of the middle fingertip. Lots of writing. . . You’re a writer. Who are you? Why did Smiley kill you? The perfume you have on is very rare.
It’s a special formula. Answer me. Run. Run. What are you looking at? Break the door! Check on him. Check on him! Stop! Freeze! Now! Freeze! Stop! Of all the times you could have died, why did you have to die at that moment? Of all the times you could have killed,
Why did you have to kill at that moment? Why are you sabotaging me? In a previous life, did I dig up your ancestral grave? You should pray I don’t catch you, ’cause I’ll make you pay. The victim is called Quinta. A writer. Married for three months. His wife is waiting outside,
Ready to identify the body. You guys go ahead. Boss, are you sure you’re not gonna check it out? Check what out? It’s really nice. Really nice. What’s really nice? The spouse of the deceased. You rascals. You can’t even leave the family alone? Where is she? Show me the way. This way, please.
Hurry up boss, this way. Hurry up. She’s over there. Why are you pushing me? Stop pushing. What are you doing? What is it? What? Hello. This is our boss. Hello. I’m Ivy. Rose. Ivy, that’s her English name. Of course I know that… Ivy… Miss Ivy, nice to meet you. My name is Dulang,
Senior Detective in the Bangkok Police Bureau, the only candidate for Deputy Chief. – He was really close. – Only a few minutes away. Now, can we go? Where to? I almost forgot. You can’t bring the dead back to life. You gotta move on. Forget about the past
And embrace the brand new future. I want to see him. Of course. – Show her the way. – This way. Over here. See? I wasn’t lying to you. Isn’t she beautiful? Superficial! It’s not about beauty. Check out the lighting and framing! It’s full of stories.
