[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] Are they all asleep? Don’t worry. Your drug works like magic. That trouble maker won’t come disturb us, right? Worry not, you cheeky boy. You have to satisfy me today. You have no excuse now. Is something burning? You little bastard, stop right there! Little bastard, stop right there! Stop! Bye-bye! How should I explain this to Smiley? He’s just a kid. Nothing will happen. One more dead body would make me look even worse. Good. Come, take a sip. Come on. Come on! If you don’t like it, just spit it out. Chinese? Scared? Where do you live? The orphanage nearby? What’s your name? You don’t talk much, do you? I will call you Mo then. My surname is Lin. From now on you take my surname. Got it? What’s your name then? Lin Mo. My name is Lin Mo. I used to be a high school chemistry teacher. But that’s only my day job. During night time, I would become a scavenger, that walks the line between good and evil,
the line between the law and crimes. But now, I have become a professional. I work for Tang Ren Detective Agency in Chinatown, as a detective. [Chinatown Detective, the Name of the Rose] My condolences. How did he die? He was murdered. Well, I was so close so close, so close to catching the murderer. So, Miss Ivy, I would like to know, did your husband have any enemies out there before he died? He wrote for a living. What enemies could he have? The strange thing is, why did he die in such a place? Men always go to places like this. That’s perfectly normal. Exactly! Shut up! Would a man with a sense of responsibility go to a place like that? I’m single, for example. I’m single. And I’d never go to a place like that, am I right? If there is nothing more, I would like to excuse myself now. Miss Ivy, why don’t you leave your number? We can keep in touch. I’ll keep you informed of any new developments. They have my contact info already. Find the culprit and help me avenge my husband. Don’t worry. It’s my nature to extinguish evil, and my instinct to bring forth justice. Thank you. Guys, go get all the surveillance footage of the night, and all the witnesses. I swear, within three days. . . Within three days, I’ll find the fucker who sabotaged
my promotion and broke my girl’s heart. Are these three sketches even of the same person? But it’s how the witness described him. I strictly followed the instructions of the witness. I drew this image based on the witness’s description. I can’t even tell if it’s a male or a female. How am I supposed to issue an order for arrest? You useless pieces of crap! Get the hell out of here! Get out, get out! You are just as useless! Boss, please calm down. Easy, please. Where is the surveillance footage? They’re all set. In the conference room. The senior officers will also be there. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Hello. Hello, sir, how may I help you? I’m looking for a bottle of perfume. What kind of perfume? All of the perfumes in our store are created by the owner. You can’t find them anywhere else. The owner? Yes. I will take it from there. Chinese? Yes. What are you looking for? Thank you. Are you alright? I’m fine. You’re looking for perfume? Yes. Is there a fragrance you like? What is the one you’re wearing? You like this one? This one is called Love At First Sight. I believe that love at first sight always starts with an aroma. It seems like you don’t have it in the store. I made it for myself. It’s not for sale. I see. Why don’t you leave your number? If you like it so much, I can get you one later. Sorry. I’ll return it after I clean it. Habitual criminal! That’s all the CCTV footage? Chief, we also retrieved other footage, but we couldn’t see his face either. How about the camera at the bar entrance? We ran through that too, but it’s too dark to see his face. Any other evidence? We found a weapon at the crime scene. We’re working on the fingerprints now. Then hurry up with that. What if the suspect doesn’t have a fingerprint record in our system? Last image! Can you zoom in? What are you doing? You should be focusing on the suspect. What does the car have to do with anything? The dash cam. What? That’s the latest model of Skoda’s SUV. The angle of the dashcam
should have captured the suspect’s face. Stupid! Chief, I suggest that we merge this case with the Gade case 5 days ago. Didn’t we rule Gade’s case as a suicide? What are you doing? That case’s closed. How can you just open back up a closed case? Officer Dulang, please calm down. How can I calm down? What are you doing? You’re questioning my professionalism. When I first became a policeman, you were still a baby. What are you doing? Is this the way to talk to a girl? I mean seriously, Chief, what does the Gade Case have to do with this case? This is all about her… She’s acting unreasonably! Sasha, now please tell us why do you suggest that we merge the two cases? I thought the Gade Case was rather sketchy, so I checked the dash cam of his car to get his daily agenda. I found out that Gade went to one place every day for a week before he died. Lang Ting Mansion. And yesterday’s victim, Quinta, stayed in Room 410 in Lang Ting Mansion. Coincidence? Quinta was a novelist. Why would a PI stalk him? Exactly! Isn’t that what we need to figure out? Did someone hire Gade to follow Quinta? Or did Gade want to do it? And who hired the killer to kill Quinta? There must be a bigger plot behind all this. So you don’t believe that Gade committed suicide? A man planning on suicide wouldn’t purchase a week’s groceries the day before his death. Alright! Sasha, Dulang, why don’t you split up to work on this case? Whoever solves it first will be rewarded. Yes, sir! Dulang, if you want the promotion, then you can’t lose to Sasha. Chief, please rest assured, I’ll never lose to a little girl. Chief, I will need an assistant. I want Officer Wen Song to help me
with the investigation. Wen Song? Why him? I think, he is an excellent policeman, who shouldn’t be confined to the archives room. If we crack the case, please give him a promotion. No, no, no. No, no, no. Alright. Agreed. The position of Deputy Chief remains open. Now all of you, get moving. Yes, sir! Boss, we got news. What is it? My guy just sent me his findings. Look, this chap’s name is Lin Mo. A chemistry teacher from Luming High School. A teacher? A dressed-up brute! An educated scoundrel! Go check the fingerprints on the murder weapon. See if they match Lin Mo’s. Copy. Wait! Where did those two go? Oh right. They went out right after hearing about Lin Mo. But don’t you worry. I asked Nosetip to keep an eye on them. Good, very good! Know yourself and know your enemy. It’s the true path to victory. I’m telling you. We cannot lose to that little girl and the guy from the archives room. That old loser! Now go. Yes, sir! Lin Mo. Sorry, we are closed. Hello. Hello, Miss Ivy, we’re the police. We would like to ask you a few questions. Have you caught the murderer? Sorry, do you know this man? That’s it? Anything else? You’ve never seen him? Is he the murderer? We suspect that he’s connected to the case. Thanks for your cooperation. We will let you know about any new developments. Thank you. What? Something is off with that woman. What’s off? I don’t know. It’s an instinct. I know. A woman’s instinct. You probably think she is more attractive than you, and that bothers you. Uncle Wen! It’s a policewoman’s instinct. Her husband just died, so she is probably still very upset. Uncle Wen, could you look her up? With your access to the files, it should be easy. Sure. No problem. Another thing. Should we issue an order for arrest of Lin Mo? Do another cross-check on the fingerprints. Nail him with evidence. I took it from the store for you, the Flower of the Police Force. [Quinta’s book] [Quinta, the money-obsessed Thai tycoon] [The famous novelist Quinta: The Money That Disappeared] [A reflection after reading The Silent] [The Silent] [The famous writer Quinta marries a mysterious lady] [Quinta, the writer] [Quinta, pictures] [Quinta goes back to his university for a speech] [Your perfume’s ready.] Sasha. Sasha! The fingerprint results are in. They do belong to Lin Mo. Good. Tell the Chief to issue an order for arrest. Okay. Uncle Wen, how about the information I asked you to gather? The info on that woman? I’ve got it. Boss, boss! The fingerprint results are in. It was Lin Mo! They’re asking for an arrest order already. Arrest order my ass. Why are you so dumb? Go get him right now! I’m telling you whoever catches him wins! Hurry up! Have a seat. Where is the perfume? Are you in a rush? Have some tea first. This one is rose tea. I also made this myself. Is it good? Not bad. Now you can tell me why you want to buy this perfume. I smelled it once on someone and I liked it. Your sense of smell seems to be very good. Why would you say that? Yesterday you told me that you smelled this scent on me, but I put this perfume on three days ago. So by yesterday the scent must have been very faint. You were standing one meter away from me, but somehow you still caught it. I am indeed very sensitive to scents. Right. And that’s why today I made this colorless, scentless, magic potion for you. What do you mean? There are many bad people out there using it for evil purposes. To drug and rape those silly little girls. You never thought that I would use it on you, did you? You’ll have to forgive me. I was a little off with the dosage, there’s a bit much in your drink. Boss, I don’t see anything suspicious here. Nothing suspicious? Yeah. I find everything very suspicious. Boss, come and look. Guess what’s inside? Maybe it has deadly gas in it, or it’s a liquid bomb. Boss, maybe it is liquid roofie chemicals. Open and sniff it. Do it. Boss, what if it really is roofie? Stop flattering yourself. You think anyone would rape you? Open it. What is it? It’s perfume. What? It really is perfume. That’s not very creative. You don’t think it’s creative? Would a normal guy keep so many bottles of perfume at home? Psychopath! Sick psycho! One-of-a-kind murderous psycho! There must be some kind of misunderstanding. Misunderstanding? You said that you recognized the scent on me, but I am the only one who uses it. And the only person who might have had any on them was my husband Quinta. You’ve met him. No, I haven’t. Liar. The police were here asking about you. You’re the murderer. Listen to me, I didn’t kill him. So don’t call the cops. Who said I was gonna call the police? What I want is revenge. That’s the jugular vein, not the artery. If you cut it, I will die slowly. Do you want to watch me wail for hours before I die? That’s not a good idea. Your store is too pretty to have my organs splattered all over it. That is the inguinal artery. If you cut there… What will happen? You’ll get squirted in the face. You… I mean blood. I don’t want to get my hands dirty either. Let’s try something different. You have 10 seconds to answer my questions. If I’m not happy with your answers, you’ll have to talk with the police. Why did you kill Quinta? I didn’t kill him. Where did you see him? Broadway Mansions Hotel. He was already dead when I got there. What were you doing there? The point of a secret lies in the pleasure when you tell it. Tell me. Speak! Hello? Hello? I am a crime scene sweeper, also called a scavenger. I sometimes go to a crime scene to help the murderer destroy the evidence. Sometimes I clean the traces and the body. Sometimes I make it look like a suicide. I only clean the bodies, I don’t kill. That is our code of conduct. So I have never killed anyone. How can I help you? What a coincidence, I didn’t really call the police either. Hello? This is Ivy. We don’t need flower deliveries anymore, because the store will be closed infinitely. Thank you. Liar! Any ordinary man under such circumstance wouldn’t come up with a convincing lie. I’m beginning to believe you. Then why don’t you release me? Sometimes killing an innocent person is better than letting a guilty one slip away. I should remind you that you’re wanted by the police. So you’d better behave yourself. Hello. I want to buy some flowers. Take your time. I have a dog. A big dog. It sounds like he’s a bit upset. He’s hungry. He must be famished. Yeah, this dog… This goddamned dog. He’s going a bit crazy. Why don’t you look after your dog? I don’t think I’ll get flowers today. From now on, I make the rules of the game. That’s enough. Lin Mo? He is not normal. Very abnormal. I’m very wary of this person! You’ll have to be more specific. What kind of a psychopath is he? Don’t you defame Mr. Lin! You will only get Mr. Lin over our dead bodies! Get out of our school! Get out! Lin Mo is indeed a psychopath! Besides killing people, he also abets his students into assaulting the police. Exactly! That’s what it is! He seems to possess some sort of enchantment. Everyone fell in love with him the minute he arrived. Not only that, I suspect that during his two-day absence he abducted a female student. Did that really happen? He is a real psychopath! A phenomenal one! What is the girl like? She’s new here, and she’s actually kind of attractive. Now it’s your turn to talk. What do you want to know? I just told you everything about me. Time for you to tell me who you really are. Sorry, it’s business. What are you doing? Sorry, for the discomfort. Is the owner around? I am right here. But I heard that the owner’s name is Ivy. Don’t I look like an Ivy to you? But I heard that she’s always wearing a rosy dress! I didn’t shave today, so I didn’t wear it. But people say she is a woman! Do I look like a man to you? What’s wrong with your eyes? But they also said. . . Are you here to shop? If not, you can just piss off. What are you doing here? Mr. Lin, I… Come inside. What is it? I… I… Take it easy. I’m here to say thank you. I want to buy some flowers for you. Buy me flowers? What kind of flowers? The kind with your crushed skull! It’s you! Mr. Lin, you finally recognize me. In order to kill you, I had to pretend to be a student. If I don’t kill you now, one day you will be cleaning my corpse. You’re so easily frightened, are you really a man? You’re so strong, are you really a woman? Now that I will kill you, I already miss you. After this, who is gonna clean up the mess after me? That hurts! People say it’s not easy to pierce the heart with only one stab. It’s like jabbing at a floating ball
in the water with a knife. Do you think I can cut your heart open? This really hurts! Run! Sugar, for my wound. That’s salt! Paprika! Behind us! That woman murdered your husband. Why did she kill Quinta? She was paid to do it. If you want the truth, you have to help me get out of here. There are policemen down there. You can’t get away. Then we’ll go up. Uncle Wen! Is the Chief here? I have a major discovery to report to him. When? Now? Yes! Now. How do you know about this place? I grew up in an orphanage nearby. This neighborhood hasn’t changed in the last decade. Is this the Bangkok in a scavenger’s eyes? I take this route during a traffic jam. I can’t be late for work. You grew up in an orphanage? Then I met my master. He took me in and brought me up. What about you? What about me? Your story. You must have many stories. I’m just an ordinary woman. Thanks to you, I’m now an ordinary widow. Quinta’s widow, Ivy, 31 years old. Moved from Taiwan to Thailand at 14 with her mother. Original name Jin Qiwen. Her pseudonyms include Jin Mei and Wan Hong. Quinta is her fourth husband. I have discovered that her marriages share the following commonalities. First, all her ex-husbands were super rich. Second, they all died soon after the wedding due to mysterious causes. Two of them committed suicide, another died from a car accident. A black widow. The first time I laid eyes on her, I knew something was off. Right, guys? Didn’t I say that she was sketchy? Yes, absolutely. You totally said that. However, besides these, the file on Miss Ivy is completely blank. Her profession can’t be traced, and there are no social connections. Chief, Detective, we’ve received notice that Lin Mo and Ivy appeared in a market in Chinatown together. Together? The two of them together? Adulterers! It’s so obvious that they work together to kill the husbands. If we don’t bring them to justice immediately, we will owe an explanation to all the cuckolds in the world. Right! Let’s go! Go get them! Detective Dulang, please don’t rush into it yet. I don’t think this case is an isolated crime. Sasha, what else did you find? I don’t know if you all have heard of this tale. Come over here. It’s solid. Stop! Stop messing around. I said, stop. What are you doing? You’d better steady yourself, because if I give it a kick, you and the plank will both go flying. What on earth do you want? I want you to tell me everything. What exactly do you want to know? All of the secrets between you and Smiley. Smiley? Yes. I heard from my mother that for the last decade, an urban legend has haunted Thailand. An organisation called Smiley has been baiting wealthy men into marriages with beautiful women. They hire killers to take out these rich people, then make it look like all sorts of accidents. The wealth is then transferred via the legitimate marriage. I thought you brought me here to look at the stars. As you said earlier, the point of a secret lies in the pleasure when you tell it. Now it’s your turn. There is another saying you may know, secrets are like gems. Once unveiled, they turn into rocks. You don’t have time for negotiation. Liar! Among all the things you’ve said, this is the only truth. I’m a liar. A professional con artist. When I was 14, my mother remarried and we moved from Taiwan to Thailand. We once believed that if we could get rid of my horrible father, we would eventually escape from hell. Well, instead, we just stepped into a different one. Why are you doing this? Mind your own business! You know nothing! Why? To support myself, I worked all kinds of jobs. Waitress. Low-wage worker. I tried to earn an honest living by working hard, but I realized that they were after my face, and my body. But fate always takes unexpected turns. I believe you can act. Officer, I’ve already told you the things I know. What else do you want? My husband is dead! He is dead! Cut! Miss Ivy, you’re a natural. Have you watched too many detective films? How could you buy such clichés? This kind of story is designed to fool kids. Kids like you. I’ve done my research. From 2003, during the last 15 years, the number of wealthy men and their heirs who died from suicide, car accidents or other unnatural deaths amounts to 22 people. That’s one-fifth of the top 100 richest people in Thailand. And three out of the top 10 wealthiest men died an uncanny death. That percentage surpasses any other crime by miles. Isn’t that enough to raise suspicion? Sasha, your theory would have huge ramifications. I understand, Chief. Because of the ramifications, we can’t let any suspicious detail
fall through the cracks. Detective Dulang, what do you think? Well, yeah, I believe that what Sasha said does make some sense. Of course, I admire this young lady’s drive and determination. Chief, I assure you, by the end of the investigation, I will give you a clear answer. Alright. The scale of this case is flexible. You can keep digging, but you need to be discreet. Very discreet. Yes, sir. Are you sure you want to hear the rest of it? Yes. You just want to tear my wound open and have a look, right? Correct. That same night, they took turns to rape me. They filmed it. They threatened me, saying that if I didn’t do what they told me to do, they would air the video worldwide. Ever since then, I’ve been a pawn for Smiley. I approached the target, gained their trust and affection, then got them to marry me. The longest took one month, the fastest took only three days. Then they would just… As for the rest, I believe you know better than I do, Scavenger. Have you ever met Smiley? He is extremely paranoid. He contacts me only by phone. I see you have a scar behind one ear. Obviously, it’s to cover a tattoo. What is it? The tattoo was left by Smiley that night. Don’t you have one? Why did you get rid of it? Because I’m sick of this life. I want to break free from his control. If I could, I would kill him. Can I come over now? Let’s go. Do you believe in fate? I do. When I was little, many people told me I was pretty. I thought that was a gift from God. It wasn’t until much later that I realized beauty is a whip
that he uses to punish me. If you don’t have any more questions, let me go first this time. Stop. You’d better steady yourself. If I give it a kick, you and the plank will go flying. I almost forgot that you’re a con artist. Your turn now. What do you want to know? What makes the police think you killed Quinta? It’s a trap designed by Smiley. Maybe he’s got enough money and he’s now looking for a scapegoat. Maybe he’s found out that I’m after him. Why are you after him? He killed my master. I’ll get my revenge. I also want to clear my name. Isn’t that a legit reason to look for him? Now we have a shared goal. For now, it’s the same. Find Smiley. Get our revenge.
