The Truth That Pheem Hides in The Wicked Game Episode 7
The Wicked Game episode 7 begins with Pheem seeing Than watching the video of Wut confessing—where he was captured as well. He said that he can explain everything to Than. But Than, out of betrayal, replied if he would start with how he smashed his shop.
Pheem was shocked that Than knew that. Than said that he can forgive that, but he can’t forgive him for all the killings. Pheem then said that he didn’t kill anyone. Risa was the one who killed the senator, and Jason died because of a crazy patient.
In addition, Pheem also said that he didn’t kill Wut. All he did was hand him over to his father. He didn’t think that Thanet would kill him either. Than planned to tell the police what he knew, but Pheem stopped him.
Wake up from your dream, Than! You think you’re a hero now. It’s time you grew up and opened your eyes to reality. The world is not as fair as you think.
Lashing out at Than, Pheem said those words. But Than only replied that if everyone had that thought, then the world would have no hope.
I know there are many bad people. But giving in is equal to taking their side.
The two argued, but Than wouldn’t budge. They ended up pointing guns at each other. Than shot the vase near Pheem before hiding his gun. But as soon as Than was about to open the door, a gunshot echoed.
The Wicked Game episode 7 shifts to the hospital scene. Pheem was covered in blood. Mrs. Nit came and asked who shot Than. She thought it was Chet or Thanet, but then she realized it was Pheem.

Separate Paths of Than and Pheem
Than woke up with Pheem by his side. But he wasn’t pleased to see him. He looked at Pheem with complete betrayal. Then Than asked where the evidence was, but Pheem had already thrown it away.
Than seemed to lose his hope, and the man that he loves. Pheem apologized to him, saying that he didn’t plan to harm him.
It was untrue. You already killed me. That night, we were forever parted by your attempt to kill me.
When the nurse arrived, Than asked her to throw away the flowers and juice that Pheem bought. After that, Pheem left the room and Than was there—crying, feeling helpless.
Pheem, on the other hand, cried along with his regrets. As Pheem remembered the happy moments they had just recently, it felt like a stab to his heart.
Risa’s Way of Manipulating in The Wicked Game Episode 7
Parn brought a paper to Risa about Than’s admission to their hospital. Parn said that Pheem ordered it to be kept secret. So Risa wondered who harmed Than knowing that Chet was away.
Risa went to her father to tell him that Pheem’s bodyguard was shot. Thanet asked who did it, but Risa said she had no idea. She mentioned that Pheem was hiding that fact from everyone.
Then she started telling him that Than isn’t an ordinary bodyguard. He used to be a police officer who handled Chet’s case before. Risa explained that Than was a man with unyielding pride. He simply helped Pheem to clear his name and return to being a police officer.
Thanet asked her what Than knows, and Risa confirmed that he knows everything. Risa concluded that Pheem and Than might have had a conflict. She mentioned that Pheem is most likely the one who shot Than.
Moreover, after talking to Risa, Thanet went to Than’s room asking how he was. But Than replied sarcastically that he didn’t know he cared for “lowly employees” like him. Amid their talk, Than mentioned that if he sees someone violate the law, he’ll take action—even if it was Thanet.

Pheem asked Danai for help in killing Than. When they arrived at Than’s room, they found no one. It turns out that Parn went to Than to warn him that Thanet requested Pheem to kill him.
So Than was able to escape. However, due to his wound, he couldn’t walk properly. Thus, Danai was able to find him. Than tried to fight back, but in the end, Pheem captured him by hitting him with a metal tube.
Danai drove Pheem and Than to an abandoned place where a grave was ready for Than. Pheem asked Danai to just wait for him. Than, slightly conscious, talked to Pheem.
Eventually, you still chose Thanavej over my life. I guess this is the end. I used to think people could be changed, and that everyone could turn over a new leaf. But now I understand. You’re an exception. Your heart is shrouded in sheer darkness. You’ve hit a point of no return, Pheem. I wish you happiness on the path of your choice.
In the end, Pheem chose to pull the trigger. Danai checked if Than still had a pulse and reported to Thanet that everything was done. Meanwhile, Pheem was there, crying over what he had done.
