SEEDA

You deserve to get this role.

Yes, you do.

I’m going to do homework at my friend’s house.

Don’t get home late.

Your dinner is in the refrigerator.

Warm it up yourself.

Very good. Beautiful!

All of you who already passed to this round,

Should be aware of the play we’re doing next.

But this time will be different from the last.

We will do the show “The Ramayana”

or “Seeda Under the spell”.

I need a new performer as Seeda.

We would like to present a new face.

And create a new production.

But who?, Among you...

who can perform both of Seeda’s good

and dark side.

I’ll leave it to you…

Noted, sir.

I have casted 3 people for this.

Alright.

See you in the evening at the rehearsal room.

Go on.

Everyone will realize…

If I don’t get the role, nobody can…

What are you looking at?

“Closed for maintenance”.

Sister!, Sister, Sister.

Are you ok?

What happened?

I was Drowning!

I guess I might have passed out.

What were you doing up here?

This floor is still closed for maintenance.

The water was dropping down into the dressing room.

So I came up to see

if somebody might forget to turn it off.

Really! I will go check it out.

Because this room was just renovated.

Some pipe might not be functioning properly.

Oh, Ok.

Please pardon me.

I will have to go back to rehearse.

Thank you very much.

They may be too stressed out from the competition.

Erm.. Anyway,

This evening you help me double check

where the water is leaked from.

Yes. Sir.

Entrance me as Seeda’s character.

Bring it out. More!

More seductive.

Good. Spin!

Spin faster! Faster!

Can I try again?

No need. That’s enough.

Gina, come to try this.

I will keep practicing the dark side of Seeda.

More harder, more perfect.

In fact, I am not serious about the perfecting the dance.

I am more concerned about the feeling of the character.

If the role involves only good Seeda

you will surely get it.

Mon.

Mon!

Mon!

Mon.

Where have you been?

Were you playing games at the online game shop?

Nope, I was at Pick’s house doing homework.

You know it’s late, just come back to do homework at home.

Why do you have to come home this late?

And who do you want me to stay home with?

Every time I come home, I have never seen you.

Mon.

I am sorry.

That I don’t have time to be with you.

I have to work to make a living.

Or we won’t have money to send you to school.

This work means a lot to us.

Have you got the job?

I have already selected Gina for this role.

I am sorry.

If there is no Gina,

then you would have gotten the role.

Why? Why can’t I make it?

It’s not that difficult. Why can’t I?

I can help you!

Mon?

Is that you?

Where is this?

Can anyone hear me?

Can anyone hear me!

Does anyone hear me?

I choose you.

I can help you.

Can help.

Can help!

Help!

Help. Help. Help. Help!

I can help you!

Come in!

To become Seeda.

No.

I don’t need your help!

Go! Go away!

NO!

This reminds me of the old days.

By the way, When will May come back?

Probably, near the launch date.

Mate, I ask you honestly.

Why do you want me to resume Nart-Ta-Ya again?

I just don’t want to see it closed down.

Last time, you said

you ran out of budget to run the theatre.

Close down! And fled overseas.

I am still puzzled with you.

But anyway! It was a long time ago.

And you are now financially stable.

I heard your property business is going well.

You have never changed since our university year.

I understand that production runs in your blood.

But why does it have to be this story?

You have done it before.

It’s different this time around.

My Seeda character is renovated for the better.

It’ll not look the same.

Nobody gets excited

with this kind of old story no more.

Budget is also a lot.

It’s not worthy to invest.

You’re…

A real business man now.

Where have all the artistic blood in you gone to?

Here you go.

What is this?

If this show is not that interesting,

Sponsors will not have shown this much interest,

and I believe there will be more participating.

As you can see,

we are all ready to do this.

Our actors, dancers

are all great, fresh and high quality.

And you are a real business man.

You should know better.

If we stop now,

all the money will disappear.

What do you think?

Alright, Let me talk to May first?

That’s right.

You believe me,

this time everything will go well.

Let’s go, Gina. It’s time to rehearse.

I'll follow you. Let me retouch my makeup first.

Ok, Are you guys, ready.

Gina is in the toilet.

Ok, Nevermind.

While we’re waiting,

I want another person to substitute for the Seeda role.

This show is very important.

There can’t make any mistakes.

So…

Mean…

You try first.

Where is the dark side of Seeda?

More aggressive.

More seductive.

Is this all you got?

Try harder!

Unleash yourself.

Let’s the character control you.

Accept it.

Ms. Gina.

She fell down the stairs, she’s unconscious.

Her condition looks very serious.

Jedai, How was Gina?

Her head hit the floor,

nobody knows how she’s doing yet.

How can you let the water flood the floor?

I already fixed all the leaking taps,

Apart from the floor above.

But I hung the no entry sign here.

I don’t know why Gina still went up the stairs.

Since it’s still closed.

I don’t know, anyway you take care of it.

Yes, Sir.

Gina needs urgent surgery.

There’s blood congestion in the brain.

I believe this all is purely accident.

I will have Vinai double-checking on everything.

Do not let this distract you.

We are all professionals.

And the show must go on.

However,

we need someone new as Seeda.

Mean will take this role.

Yes, I will do my best.

Why did you decide to produce this show again?,

As you already stopped the production 2 years ago.

It’s because…

The script for Ramayana story is of high value.

It is Thailand’s identity.

Any producer would love

to produce a story such as so.

It depends on the readiness.

Talking about good quality production.

We need to have a good financial support.

And many talented performers.

It is agreeable that we weren’t ready last time.

But this time we are fully ready.

Thank you very much for supporting this show.

The show will be very good.

You will not be disappointed.

you are welcome.

Thank you.

Hello, to all honourable guests.

First of all.

I would like to mention this important person,

Who gave me inspiration.

She is an idol to all my performers.

And raises up our nation’s standard.

Please give her a round of applause.

To the great dancer and artist.

Ms. Cindy.

She had a great glory.

But it has passed

and she deserves a well rested break.

And say goodbye to the industry.

We will be thinking of you, Cindy.

We promise to never forget you.

We will be launching The Ramayana show.

“Seeda: Under The Spell”.

In the version that has never been seen before.

And Seeda’s character will be played by..

Ms. Mintra Mahabutr.

You were hiding here all along.

Congratulations, to the new queen of dancer role.

Thank you, Mrs. May.

Just call me May, Mean.

OK.

Your perseverance has proven your accomplishment.

I’m not that good

and still need much more improvement.

This business is tough,

and everyone is always competing against each other.

Hard working women like us.

Must try our best

to keep what we have earned.

Since we had claimed it as ours.

We need to protect it for as long as possible.

Mean! Why do you acting like that?

Is something wrong?

It’s nothing.

Lately I’ve been too stressed out.

Mean, 5 minutes to group interview.

Alright. I will be there soon.

You also need to be there with me, right?

Yes, right. I will be following you shortly.

Ok, I’ll go first then.

Make yourself at home.

Alright.

Please have a seat.

I want to talk about the role,

so there’s clear understandings.

Sure.

I don’t want there to be any obstacles between us.

Neither do I.

Do you have any boyfriend?

No.

Mean, why don’t have a sip?

Do you want to sleep with me?

Mate.

Are you alright?

I think I’m drunk.

I can’t talk properly.

You should get going.

Let’s continue next time.

You also have work in the morning.

The clark downstairs can help you calling the cab.

Five, Six, Seven, Eight, and continue…

What happened?

Cindy, she got hit by a car.

How can that happen?

She got hit by a car last night.

Someone says she was about to cross the road.

Her leg bones are all broken.

This is not real, right?

Do you think it’s strange?

Both Cindy and Gina got into an accident.

Yea, definitely.

So it will happen to the next Seeda.

And it will be…

Hello, Mean.

Just now, I didn’t mean you.

I am not even thinking about it. Don’t worry.

I will go rehearsal first then.

Hey, wait for me.

It’s time to help me back.

Don’t come closer.

I told you not to come closer.

Don’t come close to me!

Don’t come. Don’t come close to me. Please don’t!

I told you not to come close to me! Don’t!

Don’t!

Mean. Mean!

What happened to you?

You scared me.

I am ok. I just…

“Promised”.

Don’t bother me.

I’ve never promised you.

Don’t bother me.

Mon?

Mon you..

Mon, What are you doing?

Mon.

Mon. Put down the cutter.

Mon.

I told you to put down the cutter.

Mon. Don’t do it!

Mon. Don’t

I told you. Don’t do it!

Mon. Mon. Mon.

Mon.

Mon.

Mon.

Mon. Can you hear me?

Mon.

Mon. Mon.

Mon.

Why did you do that?

Mean, What were you yelling for?

I’m sorry.

Sorry.

That’s enough.

Have a 10 minutes break.

What happened?

The dancing cue isn’t right,

and your emotions weren’t there.

Where is your focus?

Please prove to me you are the right choice.

Sweep your arms around nicely.

Good. Looking great.

Build your emotions into Seeda’s dark side.

All the evil energy is occupying your heart.

It’s obsessive of you.

You can’t stop it.

You can’t run away from it either.

I can’t take it no more.

Come out. Just come out!

What did I do to you?

What you want? Come out!

Come out!

Come out!

Help.

Can someone help me?

Do you hear me?

Help!

Why did you come here?

You want to see me look pitiful. Don’t you.

No. It’s not like that.

I just want to ask you something.

Let me go.

You dare to make fun of me.

What’s it, Cindy?

You dare to make fun of me. I want to kill you.

I want to kill you.

I want to see you dead.

What did I do to you? Let me go!

Remember this.

If I can’t get the role, no one else can.

Seeda!

Go away.

Get out! Don’t come near me. Get out.

Get out!

Get out!

Get out!

Don’t come near me! Get out!

Seeda!

Seeda Maneecharn, Resigned.

Sawatdeeka. Grandma Shim?

I come to see Seeda.

Are you a friend of hers?

I used to dance in the same company as her.

But I haven’t seen her in a while.

Let’s go talk at home.

Let me help.

Thanks.

Here you go, water.

You remind me of Seeda when I first saw you.

You like to dance like Seeda, right?

Yes.

Seeda loves to dance ever since she was little.

She even decided to change her name to Seeda.

Her favourite heroine's name.

What was her last name?

Butrsaba.

Butrsaba.

Seeda: To the one I miss.

"To the one I miss, Mate."

"To the one I miss."

I feel pity for Seeda.

She is an orphan and has no relatives.

None of her friends visited her, only you.

You’re her friend.

Please help me look for her.

Yes, I will.

I’ll leave first then.

Ok.

Good luck.

Ok.

Mate. This is Mean.

Mate.

Are you there?

Why did you come here?

I didn’t see you supervising at our rehearsal today.

And I have something in mind to ask you.

I’m not feeling well.

What is it that you want to ask?

Do you know Seeda?

She used to be in our production.

How do you know her?

We’re friends.

If you’re friends then why are you asking me?

Why don’t you go and ask her yourself?

She disappeared.

Disappeared?

What are you talking about?

I don’t know what you mean.

Seeda used to be in our production.

But she was not as good as others.

She resigned and went to find a new job.

That’s all.

But she has never gone home since then.

Do you know that….

I told you all that I know.

Don’t you have something more important to do?

Don’t you also?

Excuse me.

Stop. Stop.

Please don’t.

I’m not lying to you.

Sawatdeekrab. Mr. Tod.

Mr. Vinai. Have you seen Mate?

I’ve been calling him,

but he hasn’t answered.

Mr. Mate is on leave.

It has been a few days since he came.

Tomorrow is the final run-through day though, isn’t it?

Yes, sir.

Is everything alright?

Yes, everything is alright but there’s..

A few pipes leaking issue.

I’ll go examine the leaking points first.

Sure.

Last night, at the canal bank

in Samkok district, Phathumtani province.

Police received reports from villagers.

that they found a body of a middle aged man.

Floating by the canal bank.

His name is Mr. Sorn Kem-ngarm.

He is an undertaker at a temple nearby.

Base on the investigations, police suspects that

he was under the influence when it happened.

and slipped into the canal.

Don’t, Don’t, Don’t.

Turn the lights on.

Tod. Tod. Please help me.

What happened?

What happened to you?

I’m scared.

Tod. Please help me.

Mate. What happened?

Don’t. Don’t. Don’t.

Mate. Mate!

Everything’s alright.

He might have been a little stressed out recently.

That’s all.

Don’t worry. The show will go on as usual.

I can reassure you that.

Let’s continue the show.

Tod calling.

Mate!

Hey, Mate.

Mate.

Mate.

Mate.

Mate.

Mean,

Mean, please help me.

Mate. What happened to you?

I am next, right? Mean.

It’s my turn now, right? Mean.

What really happened?

Seeda.

Seeda came to the first audition.

She originally danced in the Thai traditional style.

She was so attractive.

When she dances, she looks

so captivating and charming.

Many were envious of her.

Even I was one of her admirers.

So we were in relationship.

“Bitch".

She is so ambitious.

She wants the Seeda role.

and will do anything to get it.

Do you understand?

But the show

was not solely under my control.

So I dumped her.

and pushed her to be with someone else.

That’s where I did her wrong.

And what next?

No. No. No.

Mate.

Wait. Mate.

Open!

Open!

Don’t. Don’t.

Mean?

Mean.

Mean, Please help me.

I’m scared.

Don’t come closer.

I’m scared. Go away!

Don’t come closer.

Mate. Mate.

Wait.

Mate.

Mate.

Mate.

Go away! Go!

Mate.

Seeda.

Seeda, I’m sorry.

Don’t come closer.

Please don’t come closer.

Mate. This is Mean.

Don’t come closer.

Mate.

Please step away from the railings first.

Mean, please help me.

Yes, I will, but please step forward, alright?

Seeda, I was wrong.

Please forgive me. I’m sorry.

Stand still. Please don’t move.

I’ll come get you. Stay still.

Don’t. Don’t.

Do you think the fallen man

had something to do with the missing lady?

Yes.

The runaway manager

may have also been involved in this.

So everyone of you.

must come testify at the police station.

Security man,

do you know where your boss lives?

Yes, I do.

Vinai, get out of the car!

Mr. police, please help me.

She’s following me.

She wants to kill me.

I’m scared. Please help me.

Get me out of here. I’m scared.

Get me out of here.

Do you know why.

Mr. Mate fell off the building?

Seeda.

Seeda killed him.

And she will kill everyone

who did her wrong.

The missing dancer?

That Ms. Mean mentioned?

Yes. But that lady didn’t disappear.

One day..

My sponsor asked me to help.

In exchange for a large sum of money.

To get rid of the dead body.

Seeda?

She’s the dancer in the show, named Seeda.

So I hired Mr. Sorn,

The caretaker from the temple I know.

To help get rid of her body.

And hide it someplace safe.

Seeda is Mr. Mate’s ex-girlfriend.

Once he was bored with her,

he didn’t care for her anymore.

That’s all I know.

The case of Mr. Chaicharn Nopprachai,

also known in the theatre

and performance business as Mr. Mate.

whom fell off a building,

investigations have found further leads.

As the case might be involved in the disappearance of.

Ms. Seeda Maneecharn from 2 years ago.

A female dancer from Narttaya theater.

After Narttaya theater’s manager,

Vinai, was arrested.

He confessed the incident

that had happened in detail.

That makes Ms. Seeda case

become a camouflage murder.

The 3 major suspects are..

Mr. Sorn Kem-ngarm who already died.

Mr. Vinai Sawangsuk.

And lastly, Mr. Tod Charoenkitpaisan.

Who the police highly suspects

to be the murderer.

I told you our relationship is not working.

Why would you say that?

I am pregnant, so I lost the Seeda role.

You blamed me,

and not accept neither me nor our child.

You can just abort the child.

Then, you can have the Seeda role like you wish.

I am not going to abort my child.

He has no one else like me.

If you are not going to accept me and our child.

I will expose you to the press.

You can’t do that.

You’re too selfish.

What do you want me to do?

I have a wife.

I’m sorry.

Then you can continue being sorry

for what’s about to happen next.

Let’s talk it out first.

Please let’s talk.

No. Let me go.

I am hurt.

Seeda…

I’m telling you, let me go!

Seeda! Seeda!

Seeda! Seeda!

May.

It should not have been like this.

Tod. Why? What’s happening?

It should not have been this way.

What should I do? May.

She is not dead.

Seeda is not dead.

Please help me, Tod.

Tod.

So what are you going to do?

Do you want me to finish the job?

If you want me to, double my payment.

You, come help me.

This bitch needs more people to handle.

You can just do it alone.

I’m not doing it.

Ok. I’ll take care of this.

Tot, please help me.

Help.

I want you to be strong. Live without me.

I will always love you,

Seeda.

Seeda, I’m sorry.

This way, lieutenant.

Found it, sir.

Seeda.

If you’re still alive,

you must be a really great dancer.

I hope you rest in peace.

Thank you very much.

Last day in operation.

Will we miss this place?

Are you kidding me? This place gives me the creeps.

We’re better pack up fast.

Hey friends. Have you seen teacher Dao?

I have, in the afternoon.

Not sure if she’s still here though.

Has Teacher Dao asked you

to go join the new place yet?

Yes, she contacted me through Line

to talk about this.

I hope we’ll be dancing together again.

Me too.

We’ll head back first then.

See you.

Bye.

Teacher Dao. I’m here.

Teacher Dao.

The drug you’ve been injected…

will make you feel relaxed.

It will temporarily paralyse your body.

But you will recover.

Do you know…

Why you are in this condition?

Tot.

He was a good husband.

Although he’s distracted by other women,

our love remains strong.

Until he made a mistake with Seeda,

She wants to lure Tot away from me.

I can’t tolerate that.

I have to protect what I own.

Seeda is not dead yet.

Tot.

Seeda.

Do you want me to finish the job?

Since this place is closing anyway.

I will bury you to along with it.

Being friends with that whore.

You still have strength.

No. No.

No.

No.

No.

2 months later.

Mean.

You look much better now.

I want to thank you..

for appointing me the job.

I just wanted to help.

To redeem for what I did to Seeda.

Seeda might have already forgiven you.

I hope so.

Mean, I’m ready.

I may have a surprise for you this evening.

What’s the surprise?

I’m not telling you yet,

let’s see if you’re a good kid.

I’m good. I surely am.
