Dalah: Death and the Flowers (2025) s01e06 Episode Script

DALAH: DEATH AND THE FLOWERS
Risa is safe.
I don't see why we all have to be here
and listen
to the other family's crazy story.
You'd better stay.
Crazy stories
-happened in both families.
-You!
Let's rewind.
Mr. Sarath?
Let's go.
Dalah, just say what you want.
I never wanted anything from the Uathepa.
Then why did you kill Ohm?
Exactly.
Why would I kill Mr. Anusorn?
Mr. Ekapop.
What do you think?
Ohm suspected
that you were the one
who tried to blackmail him.
Blackmail?
You probably couldn't settle
on the hush money.
Ekasit, shut up.
The family's golden boy.
Mister Prime Minister-to-be.
An ideal gentleman.
A staunch advocate of women's rights.
Why would such a guy
have to worry about
paying people to shut up?
Unless the real him
was not the same as the one society knew.
Many of you in this room
knew very well
what kind of person
Mr. Anusorn Uathepa actually was.
Have some respect, will you?
Ohm is deceased.
Respect?
Did he have any respect
for the girls he raped?
Hey!
Don't talk rubbish.
Don't play innocent.
-You…
-If you don't know, I'll tell you, Mom.
Hold on.
We're gathered here
because we want to hear
the killer admit to the crime,
not to put dirt on someone
who is already dead!
Ohm did rape women.
I found out when Pam told me.
Uncle Ohm raped my girlfriend Bee
and made a clip.
Bee didn't want it to blow up,
but I couldn't let him have that clip.
So, I tried to delete it.
NOI, NING
But what I saw
made me want to do more
than just delete Bee's clip.
BEEBEE
I wanted to destroy his life.
Both engagement and wedding.
I wanted to sabotage everything.
So, I told Aunt Risa about it.
But when Risa realized that
there were so many victims,
including…
someone in this room…
Xinxin.
Yes.
What?
Xinxin!
What did you say?
-What Aunt Risa said is true.
-Xinxin, stop!
No.
I won't stop.
Pa, Ma, I know you want to protect me,
but I don't want the world
to remember him as a saint,
and we shouldn't have to stay silent
for the rest of our lives.
Because it's the whole truth.
That was why
Risa decided to serve
a cause greater than herself.
She practiced the feminist ideals
that Mr. Anusorn preached in his campaign,
standing up for women.
To tell you the truth…
I wasn't happy…
that Ohm used that campaign.
So, I talked to Xinxin
and asked Pam to bring Bee along.
I'm scared.
Don't be.
We women are in this together.
All of us must speak up.
So, they'll realize
that we are not weak.
We intended to expose Ohm, but--
You still want our property!
Yes.
I’m sorry for letting you guys down.
I was selfish
when I asked you
to wait until after the engagement
and then again after the wedding.
I did that because…
I just wanted my father
to be proud of me for once.
I’m so sorry.
Risa…
But then Ohm died.
Liar!
You tried to blackmail Ohm
even before the wedding.
You sent the screenshot from the clip
to Ohm's rival party.
You wanted to destroy
his political career.
But when nothing happened,
you tried another way.
That screenshot was my doing.
Aunt Risa had nothing to do with it.
I was just angry
that she did not stick to the plan,
so I sent the photo. That's all.
-Pam!
-Dad!
What about the clip that was
to be shown at the wedding?
You did that too?
Huh?
That was me.
Kris!
Too bad that fucking monster
died first.
Kris!
Aunt Risa told me
about the plan to expose Ohm,
then showed me the clip.
But when she decided
to go on with the wedding,
I was so pissed off
because that scumbag
didn’t deserve to live even for a second.
So, I gave the clip to the hotel staff,
intending to humiliate him at the wedding.
What about you?
What did Ohm do to you
that you had to kill him?
Oh…
I apologize
for not being clear earlier.
I am not the one who killed Mr. Anusorn.
Enough with your wisecracks.
You can’t talk your way out of this.
The forensic report
clearly indicates that you’re the killer.
Can you elaborate?
In the report,
the transformer exploded at 11:35 p.m.
The autopsy results show that
Ohm died after 11 p.m.
TIME OF DEATH: 11.00 P.M.
You lied about the time.
The forensic report states
Ohm died at 11 p.m.
But you said he drove out at 11 p.m.
In reality,
Ohm never left this place.
I disagree with the timing
because temperature
plays a role in the calculation.
Pam.
Risa.
You must remember
the temple fair that night.
Temple fair.
A trial of patience
for those who hate entertainment, like me.
What does that have to do with forensics?
It was the reason
behind the change in room temperature.
Because it caused the transformer
to explode, leading to a power outage.
The next morning, when the body was found,
they thought the room
was at its normal temperature,
but it wasn’t.
Mrs. Prapha.
You can confirm that, can't you?
The cold reminds me of Europe.
Therefore,
at the time of Mr. Anusorn's death,
the room temperature
was the same as it is now.
The temperature delayed
the decomposition process,
which leads me to believe that
the actual time of Mr. Anusorn's death
was before 11 p.m.
Anyone can make that up.
Nobody can confirm
that Ohm was killed before 11 p.m.
I have eyewitnesses that I know well.
-What is it?
-I don't know.
The flowers at the crime scene.
When the tank toppled over,
the flowers became our eyewitnesses
that can confirm
the time of Mr. Anusorn's death.
Because we create blue roses
using a color absorption technique,
the duration of the process
depends on the variety of the roses,
the length of the stem,
and the volume of the color.
Typically, it takes 45 minutes for a rose
to fully absorb the color
from stem to petal.
For clarity’s sake,
I have prepared this little exhibit.
These roses have absorbed color
for 15 minutes.
These for 30 minutes.
And these for 45 minutes.
That night,
before Jae Som and Jerd left,
she instructed me on the timing.
"The dyed roses
will fully absorb the color by 10 p.m.
Don’t forget to switch them
with a new batch of flowers by then,
okay?"
The forensic police
must have already taken
photos of the tank.
The number "22" indicates 10 p.m.
These flowers
didn’t fully absorb the color.
I calculated the time
that Mr. Anusorn and the killer fought
and knocked the tank down
at 10:30 p.m.
Wow, science!
The fact that I was here
at the time of Mr. Anusorn's death
doesn’t mean I was the killer.
Similarly, proving that
he died before 11 p.m.
doesn’t help identify the killer either.
Now,
who was here that night?
Kris.
Risa.
Pam.
Mrs. Prapha Tangsinsup.
And Mr. Ekapop.
Each of these names
could potentially be the killer.
But wait.
I'm not saying
those are all the guests
present that night.
That night was livelier than we thought.
When we arrived,
we were talking for a while,
and then Pam insisted that
Mr. Anusorn take her to the toilet.
Uncle Ohm, can you take me to the toilet?
Risa went out to the garden
in the back of the studio.
How mysterious.
When Mr. Ekapop and Mrs. Prapha arrived,
they didn’t see anyone.
At that time,
the killer may have already arrived…
You've got everything…
…and possibly witnessed
Risa and Kris having a fight.
See you tomorrow.
-After you guys left,
-See you!
-no one was inside the studio.
-Goodnight.
Mr. Anusorn seemed suspicious of me,
but he was just feeling things out.
I wasn’t worried about that.
He’s a fucking asshole
and you’re still going to marry him!
I saw Pam arguing
with Risa and Kris before she left.
Just then, my father called,
and I took the phone upstairs.
After that,
Mr. Anusorn
might have returned inside the studio.
When I looked down from my room,
I saw him,
but…
he was already dead.
The timeframe for Mr. Anusorn's murder
was between 10.20 p.m. and 10.35 p.m.,
when there was no one in the studio,
except him and the killer.
So,
at least three of you here
are definitely not the killer,
which are Risa, Kris, and Pam.
But you lied to the police
that you found the body the next morning.
Brother, when will the police arrive?
Don’t worry.
The police will definitely make an arrest.
But as I’ve told you,
that won’t be me.
Whoever the killer is
wanted us to believe
they never set foot here.
I’m giving you a chance to confess.
I…
I…
I just came to spy on my son Kris.
I was worried about you.
Anyone else?
That night, I was home by myself.
This nonsense is getting out of hand!
Why are we being questioned
as if we're suspects?
Our family loves one another.
Let’s set aside family love for now
and concentrate
on the available forensic evidence.
That night,
several of my honorable guests
left their shoe prints here.
Mr. Anusorn,
Risa,
Kris,
Pam,
Mrs. Prapha,
Mr. Ekapop,
and…
Mr. Kittisak.
I can cross you and Mrs. Prapha out
because you left
before the time of the murder,
though I know you wish
you had killed him yourself.
What caught my attention
was Mr. Ekapop's shoe prints.
They appeared not only in this room
but also around the garden
in the back of the studio.
Now I get it.
The whole point of your lecture
is to accuse me of killing my own son.
The son whom I loved
more than anything in this world.
Quite the opposite.
I’m saying your shoe prints
are prime evidence
that excludes you
from the list of possible killers.
-Mr. Sarath.
-Yes.
Mr. Sarath and I
attended the funeral together.
Remember when Mr. Ekapop
took off his shoes?
Yes.
Mr. Ekasit
mistakenly took Mr. Ekapop's shoes.
Mr. Ekasit and Mr. Ekapop
wear the same shoe size.
I wouldn’t be surprised
if they’re the same brand too.
So what?
Huh?
That night, I was at a bar with Pete,
and then we went home together.
Which bar did you go to?
We…
We were in the Thong Lor area,
bar hopping.
Bar hopping?
Together?
Well…
What?
How many bars, exactly?
Three to four, I guess.
Three to four bars.
Were you together the entire time?
I'M GOING TO BE A BIT LATE
LET'S MEET AT ANOTHER BAR
NEW LOCATION
AGAIN?
HERE! YOUNG BAR, YOUNG GIRLS
Pete!
Why don't you look like
a kid in a candy store?
What took you so long?
I had some stuff
to clear up at the Square.
Grand-Uncle met me at the last bar.
You mean
Mr. Ekasit wasn’t with you before?
I had to sort things out
with the tenants at the Square.
Or with someone here?
Wait.
You…
Didn’t you just accuse Ohm’s father
of killing his own son?
Now you’re accusing me, Ohm’s uncle,
based on your random assumptions?
I wasn’t at the scene when it happened.
It’s all just speculation.
I get it.
-Get what?
-You and Narisa killed Ohm.
Maybe your gang too.
All of you were here at the studio.
You made up the details
about when you left
to cover each other’s tracks.
The motivation is blindingly obvious.
Otherwise, would Narisa have run away?
Stop accusing people.
Risa ran away to buy time.
She suspected
that Pam might be the killer,
so she wanted to talk to Pam first…
because
she needed time to think
about what to do with her baby.
Risa is having a child
with someone she despises.
But despite that, she loves her baby.
I'm planning to keep the baby.
Don't worry.
I guess the Uathepa men
don’t understand the misery
and confusion of a pregnant woman.
There you go.
Miserable, confused, angry.
Those could be reasons to kill.
A despicable man she didn’t love
got her pregnant,
so she killed him because he did?
Does that even make sense?
Women have countless
irrational reasons for their actions.
How would I know?
Interesting.
But please hear me out.
In this bag is a foreign object
I found next to Mr. Anusorn's body.
The forensic team
collected something similar,
thinking it was
a piece of wild sugarcane flower
from my arrangement.
Please, hold it.
Mr. Sarath
helped me figure out what it is.
You’re allergic to animals, aren’t you?
How do you know?
My dog needs to puke.
Nosy.
At that dinner, when I saw you flinch,
I thought it was just your personality.
But when you came to the studio
-and acted strangely again,
-Sorry.
I began to wonder
if it was an allergic reaction.
That made me realize that
this might not be wild sugarcane
or one of my decorative pieces.
It’s animal hair.
Or to be specific,
it’s Mr. Ekasit's Chihuahua hair.
What?
That night,
you split from the group
outside the hotel,
claiming you’d go drinking with Pete.
But you didn’t go as you said.
Are you out of your mind?
You can’t just make up stories
without logic backing them.
What if they can be proven
by forensic science?
Montree!
What is this?
I'm sorry, brother.
We’ve known each other a long time
and always helped one another.
But what Ohm did was beyond my tolerance.
This time, I have to be on the right side.
What have you seen?
Hundreds of clips
showing Ohm sexually assaulting students.
Those damn clips could be fabricated
to discredit Ohm and the Uathepa family.
I’ve seen so many
that I’m certain they’re real.
Mr. Ekapop, if you doubt
the authenticity of those clips,
ask someone in your household.
Your maid, Jaa.
She knows where Mr. Anusorn kept the clips
and brought them to us
because she’s one of his victims.
More twisted than I thought.
The shoe prints found that night alone
may not lead to any conclusion.
But when you corroborate them
with the dog hair found near the body
and Mr. Ekasit’s shoe prints from tonight…
Please.
Please park your shoes here.
Although they are the same size,
Ekapop's shoes
and Mr. Ekasit's shoes
have distinct wear patterns and imprints
due to the different pressure
applied to them.
Ekapop’s past leg injury
causes him to walk
with a distinctive gait.
Besides, Ekapop's shoe prints
were only found
in the parking lot, leading to the studio.
But the prints around the garden
definitely belong to Mr. Ekasit.
Therefore,
Miss Dalah's assumption is correct.
Mr. Ekasit was here that night
and was still present
at the time of Ohm's murder.
I’ve told you.
The police will come
and arrest the killer.
But it won’t be me.
Sit.
Were you with Ohm
when he died?
Brother…
Answer me!
Why did you come here?
Who killed Ohm?
Sit, who killed Ohm?
Answer me now!
Did you kill my son, huh?
My son! Your nephew!
He deserved to fucking die!
-Mr. Ekapop.
-Shit!
-Grand-Uncle!
-No! Ekapop, stop!
-Sir, sir!
-Calm down!
-Ekapop!
-Grand-Uncle!
Calm down, sir.
Enough!
Grandma.
Sit.
Apologize to your brother.
Come on, Mom.
You’re always like this.
You always make me bow
and say sorry to him.
You know what?
I’m not sorry for what I did.
Now, I truly believe
I shouldn’t have been born
into the Uathepa family.
Because my mother never loved me.
Nor does my brother.
You’ve only ever used me
to serve the family's interests.
Fuck it!
Yes.
I killed Ohm.
I killed him right fucking here!
Why?
Why did you kill my son?
Sit!
Sir.
Why did you kill my son?
You still have no idea, huh?
Please sign here.
Ever since Dad died…
I hope this time is the last.
…you were like a brother
and a father to me.
I told you to focus on your studies.
-Why didn’t you pay attention?
-Mom!
-Mom, don’t hit him!
-Ekapop!
It’s my fault
for not taking good care of him.
He didn’t mean it. Come here.
Young bar, young girls
Let’s hit it.
My wife had an ultrasound.
This one is a boy!
We’re going to have another Uathepa.
You said I was the hope of the family
before your scumbag of a son came along.
Stop making trouble already.
I told you to see a doctor.
You’re going to ruin everything,
and now we need to rely on the Tangsinsup.
It’s all because of you
and your itch for college girls!
This envelope
was sent to your rival party.
And someone sent it to blackmail
Vibul, your party chief.
If this gets out,
will she still marry you?
See that? Your ring is in the photo.
The ring can easily be explained, Dad.
A person who also wears the same ring
and who’s known as a womanizer,
an in-house scapegoat.
Who the fuck are you talking about?
How many times
do I have to be your scapegoat? Huh?
Dad.
Who does our family need to protect?
Me?
Or the useless old coot
who carries his dog around all day long?
Fuck you, Ohm.
You came at a good time.
Go and deal
with the protesters in Ohm's place.
You’ve changed after Ohm started bringing
his women problems into our family.
No mall! No mall!
No mall!
No mall!
No mall!
No mall!
Don’t work your grandson too hard, Uncle.
No hard feelings, alright?
To uphold the Uathepa's reputation,
Ekasit has to play the scapegoat.
After I get married,
name your price for all the trouble.
I'll pay you whatever you want.
I may bring a lot of trouble,
but it's nothing compared to
the vile things done by the family's heir.
I did it all for the Uathepa family,
you know.
You fucking bastard!
What the fuck, Uncle?
Why are you always up in my ass?!
What the fuck's wrong with you?
Why do you keep fucking with me?!
You’re nothing
but a useless prick.
All you can ever be is a scapegoat.
Bray! Let me hear you bray!
Shit, man, I’m so lucky.
My uncle is a goat.
With all the problems our family has,
if we don’t eliminate Ohm,
we’ll never save the Uathepa.
What the fuck are you saying?
Huh?
Is this what you want?
Shit!
Ohm was a disgrace to our family, not me.
Uncle…
You once warned Ohm,
"Who told you to take after your uncle?"
Do you really see me
as the family's bad seed?
Whenever Ohm caused trouble,
you always sent me
to quiet those women with money.
You said I had nothing to lose,
while Ohm had
a bright fucking future in politics.
You said he’d bring fame
and glory to the family.
-That little fuck-face, really?
-Enough already, Sit.
You’re bringing shame to our family!
Wow.
Exactly who is destroying our family?
All you ever do
is talk about that goddamn motto!
Ugh!
Do you think
you hold more value to the Uathepa family
than Ohm?
How many women
have you paid to shut them up?
But Mr. Ekapop, didn’t you also
pay a woman to keep quiet?
Chief Montree was right
when he told the press that
I intentionally approached the Uathepa.
But let me make it clear.
The reason behind this
had nothing to do with Mr. Anusorn
It was just a coincidence
that I happened to know Risa.
Then an unexpected event happened here.
What was supposed to be
a simple flower arrangement
turned out to be
a much more complicated affair.
Thanks to these complications…
I’ve finally found the answer
to the question that’s been haunting me,
which is…
What happened to my mother?
Mr. Ekapop must remember her.
Her name was Emma.
‎Em…
Mr. Koon.
When I was growing up,
everyone told me
my mother died in a car accident.
It was only when my adoptive fathers
disclosed her ties to the Uathepa family…
MA'AM X CASE
…that my curiosity was piqued.
Emma's case was the talk of the town
because of the X-shaped cut on her face.
Yet, when authorities concluded
it was an accident,
with the driver taking responsibility
and the X cut caused by a rose thorn…
ACCIDENT OR MURDER?
…people then forgot about her.
I couldn’t find any information
connecting her to the Uathepa,
other than what my father told me…
…and some enigmatic entries in her diary.
However,
the photo of the cop in the news
has stuck in my mind ever since,
until the day Mr. Anusorn died.
You are the owner of this studio, correct?
Yes.
Mr. Ekapop brought Chief Montree
to take over the investigation.
He was so sure Mr. Montree
would help him cover up any scandal
that could be exposed during
the investigation, like he did before.
Are you going to let this girl insult you?
Isn’t everything she’s saying the truth?
I'm…
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Mr. Koon
is the person who killed my mother.
But that's no mystery
because he turned himself in
and faced the legal consequences.
But I never expected
to meet him in person,
especially since
I didn’t even know what he looked like.
But when Mr. Ekapop saw him at the hotel…
Hello, sir.
…Mr. Ekapop's reaction
-really bugged me.
-Koon.
When did you leave the monkhood?
Why didn’t you come see me first?
Koon!
-Oh, Mr. Ekapop.
-Koon.
I'm leaving.
Yes.
My presumption was proven right again
when I saw how much importance
Mr. Ekapop gave to Mr. Koon.
-Why did you let him go?
-Mr. Ekapop.
Mr. Koon,
can you please tell everyone here…
why my mother had to die?
Mr. Ekapop
hired me
to run her over.
Please forgive me.
Ekapop asked me to cover up
the fact that Koon was his driver.
Even after I became a monk,
the sin I committed against Miss Emma
has haunted me ever since.
Seems like
we're not that much different, brother.
You don't know shit.
I never did
any of those things for myself!
Ungrateful idiot!
Yes.
I hired Koon to do it.
But I did it to save your ass.
Remember the reception at The Ministry
of Foreign Affairs 30 years ago?
When you first met Emma.
Back then,
you were on the path to become an MP.
-We all supported you.
-I won't let you down.
Mr. Ekapop.
Someone's here to see you.
Who is it?
A western girl.
Emma tried to contact me.
The future is bright.
I'll handle it.
Definitely.
She said she was pregnant,
but I didn't believe her.
I hid this from you.
Many years later,
I thought it was all over.
Until she came back
to demand that we accept her child…
…and threatened to expose how
we'd been paying women to silence them.
Back then, Mom was happy
because you were about
to find your footing.
We believed you'd complete
the Uathepa's rise to glory.
Mother.
-The Uathepa must shine with glory.
-I’ll handle everything by tonight.
I’d never let anything
jeopardize our family’s path to success.
In the end, you let everyone down,
despite our support.
Everything I did, I did for the Uathepa.
For you.
But you…
You repaid me by destroying everything.
By killing my son.
You must’ve thought I was your father.
Sorry.
Your father
is the man who killed his own nephew.
His brother's son.
His mother’s grandson.
His own blood.
That asshole is your father!
I already have a father.
As I said…
I never wanted anything from the Uathepa…
except the truth.
Mother.
Close the door.
Come. Get in.
Thank you…
for giving me a chance,
or it might’ve turned into a real mess.
I’m the one who should be thanking you
for giving me a chance.
Listen…
Yes?
The X mark on Ohm's face
wasn’t just an accidental scratch.
We found that the depth of the cut
couldn’t have been caused
by a stray fingernail.
Testing the waters?
Magic.
Well, it worked.
Let me tell you something.
I’m not even sure
if I’m really your father.
What I do know for certain is that,
at that time, I wasn’t the only one
your mother fucked.
It doesn’t matter.
I was lucky
to be raised by someone other than you.
-Get him in the car.
-Come, come.
I'll join your flower workshop sometime.
See you.
The men in that family are unbelievable.
The angle…
bugs you, right?
I wish I'd known you.
