Let's take a moment for a safety alert.

This household got broken into twice, and that's not all.

Over ten homes in the neighborhood got broken into.

They chained it up and everything, but their motorbike still got stolen.

Do you know how the thieves did it?

They sneaked in quietly, targeting Buddhist holy days

when people leave for the temple.

Seriously, that's next-level bad karma.

This thief has a thing for victims who live by Dharma.

Who the heck is that?

YUTH PANICH

What are you doing here?!

Who are you? What are you doing here?

Rat! A rat!

Ugh! Rat!

TWO WEEKS BEFORE

MOUSE MART: FOOD, ESSENTIALS EVERYTHING YOU NEED, ALL IN ONE PLACE

MAEWNAM SERVICE

Order 3308 is ready.

It's mine.

- Your order is here, Pin. - Sure.

Thanks. Put them inside the store.

Maewnam, hold on.

Eat something first. I'll cook for you.

Thank you!

I'm off, Mom.

Yeah.

Look at you.

Here's a fried egg to go with your meal. It's on the house.

Packed with protein.

Mama, where do you want me to put it?

I'm washing my customer's hair. Put it there.

- The money is right there, okay? - Okey dokey!

Call me if you need anything.

Wait for me. Wait, please.

Please wait for my friend.

Hey, hurry up. She's waiting.

Uncle Lee!

Uncle Lee, hello?

Uncle?

Yeah.

Here's your soy milk with fried dough sticks.

- Got it. Thanks. - Make sure you eat it.

PAPA

Hello, Papa?

What's up? What are you doing, beautiful?

I'm about to go to work.

Oh? All right, go ahead.

I'm just calling to ask what time you're coming this Saturday.

Well, I think I'll be there in the evening.

I need to go work onsite with my boss.

Don't worry. Prioritize your work.

What do you want to eat? I'll prepare it for you.

What should we eat? How about Mala?

Papa, I have to rush to work now.

Oh? Well…

This daughter is always in a rush, huh?

How's Chun-Li doing, Maewnam?

I think it's broken. The power's not coming through.

Let me see what I can do.

See? I told you I never mess up.

The power's not coming through.

Ugh, seriously? You're broken already, Chun-Li?

You're not durable at all. I've barely used you.

It might be barely used, but look here. It's already covered in cobwebs.

It's already old, Uncle.

- Please just buy a new one. - What? You can't fix it?

If you can't, you shouldn't call yourself "Maewnam Service," right?

All right, all right.

Don't challenge me.

This will be a piece of cake.

Fine. Let's see if that's true.

Get it fixed for me.

But please hurry up.

Wan is coming for dinner this Saturday.

Which day again?

This Saturday.

Or is it next Saturday?

Or this Saturday?

Yeah, this Saturday.

Be quick, and don't make it expensive.

I never charge expensive prices.

It's just a bit over the usual.

That's literally what expensive means.

Good morning.

Dome, good morning.

Is Pruk here yet?

Nah.

How about Yu?

I haven't seen her yet.

Are you guys ready?

It seems you aren't.

Where is the presentation board?

It's with Yu.

Huh? And where is she?

She hasn't arrived.

But the meeting is only at ten, right? We have ten minutes left.

Even if we still have ten minutes left, we need to prepare, don't we?

The client is already here.

Go take care of him first.

Got it.

- Got it. - All right.

Hello, Mr. Tanaka.

It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Thantara.

I look forward to working with you.

Hello. It's a pleasure to meet you. You must be Miss Thantara.

I also look forward to working with you.

Of course.

Please, take a seat.

PAPA

Let me give you some quick background about our company first.

At M Think, we've been bringing in international events

for over 10 years now.

We've organized concerts, seminars, and meetings

in more than 60 countries around the world.

We're very pleased

to be working with you, Mr. Tanaka.

Excellent.

Thank you very much.

Thank you so much.

Hello, Mr. Tanaka.

Hello, Mr. Pruk.

Ah, the presentation file is with one of my team members.

I'll have her bring it over right away.

I'm sorry for keeping you waiting.

That's all right.

It's exactly ten now. We're still on time.

I'm so sorry I'm late.

That's irresponsible.

My son had a fever this morning, so I…

Stop making excuses.

Let's get to work. Go!

Sure.

Just a moment, please.

What's going on?

The battery died.

You don't have a backup?

Uncle, I got it fixed already.

The part cost 300, but since we're close, I'll charge you 1,000.

See? I said 1,000 and now you're pretending to fall asleep.

Come on. We are close, aren't we?

Give me an extra, okay?

Uncle?

Did you upload it to the cloud by any chance, Yu?

Maybe we can open it from Dome's laptop.

I was going to, but my son threw up real bad.

I don't care. Whatever it takes, make it happen.

Otherwise, Mom's going to end up throwing up instead of her son.

I'm being serious here. It's not a joke.

Noted.

Mr. Tanaka, downstairs, we have a smoothie stall.

It's mango season right now.

There are lots of delicious Thai desserts.

If you're into that, I'd love for you to give it a try.

Anyway, once everything's ready here, I'll give you a call.

Dome, can you take him?

Okay.

Sure, I'll take you there.

This way, please.

I love mangoes.

Thank you.

Hey.

Take care of this for me.

Yu, let's talk.

What's going on with you?

You showed up late, and the work isn't ready.

Well, my kid's sick.

He had a fever last night and cried all night.

I was working the whole night and barely got any sleep.

Enough with the "my kid's sick" excuse.

Is that your problem or my problem?

Honestly, I never should've hired a mom.

You can't even focus on work.

How can you even say that?

Why not?

I'm just telling the truth.

Women with kids are just full of problems.

They can't focus on work.

First, their kids get sick. Then they get sick.

They arrive late, and then they leave early to pick their kids up.

It's always something.

Let me ask you honestly.

If having a kid is just a burden, why did you even have one?

Excuse me, but don't you think that's too harsh?

Yu should have gotten proper maternity leave.

But what's this?

Instead, she barely had a month off before being dragged back to work.

Honestly, she could file a complaint with the labor department.

I'm sorry, Wan.

I did ask Yu if she was okay working.

She said yes.

Didn't you, Yu?

Am I right, Yu?!

I'm sorry,

but who would dare say no to you?

Wan, can you stop speaking for other people?

Yu messed up today, and now we're in trouble because of her.

What's this, huh?

Now I'm expected to not only do my job but also babysit everyone's emotions too?

Damn. You've really got zero humanity.

I don't care. Say whatever you want about me.

But I need us to do this presentation today,

so just get it done.

Hey, pick up your call already.

It's been ringing forever. It's so annoying.

Hello, Papa? What is it? I'm in a meeting.

Your father's condition has worsened.

Please come to the hospital immediately.

Is something wrong, Wan?

Someone called to tell me that my father's condition has worsened.

I need to rush to the hospital now.

Well, then you'd better go now. I'll take care of things here.

- Please take care of this for me. Thanks! - Of course.

Hey.

Hey…

I'm sorry.

I didn't get your father here in time.

I'm sorry.

Wan? How is everything?

I'm okay.

This is from me. I'm sorry I didn't attend the funeral.

Don't worry. The temple is pretty far. I understand.

Take it.

Thank you.

Wan.

Pruk said to go see him in his office once you arrive.

I'm sorry I didn't have time to attend your dad's funeral.

But I already sent a funeral wreath.

Yes, I saw it.

Do you need anything else?

Let's get to the point.

As your supervisor, I have to say this.

I feel that you were overly aggressive.

That kind of behavior, especially in front of others, was completely inappropriate.

I was just standing up for someone who didn't dare speak up to you.

And did you forget that I'm the boss?

It's my right to give orders, critique work,

or do anything I find appropriate.

I understand that work is important to you.

But don't forget you're not working alone.

We work as a team.

Have you ever stopped to think about how your behavior

affects the people under you?

My behavior?

What exactly did I do?

When you want something done on a day off, you demand it.

You call on weekends even late at night.

I don't get it, but after work,

you run meetings so long that everyone's drained by the end.

It feels like we're all expected to be on standby for you.

But don't forget, everyone else has their own lives too.

I'm sorry, but I pay their salaries.

Does that pay make up for the life they're losing?

Your money can't buy everything.

Work means a lot to you, but we all have other responsibilities too.

So you can't balance your life and your work, and you're blaming it on me?

Originally, I just wanted to have a conversation to clear things up.

But now, I've changed my mind.

With this kind of attitude, we can't work together anymore.

Yes, I agree.

I've already prepared for this.

You think that if you quit now, it's going to be easy to find another job?

Ever since my father died, I've realized work isn't my whole life.

If I quit, sure, you'll find someone to replace me.

But I only had one father.

I don't want to dedicate my whole life

to working with someone with no empathy who thinks the world revolves around them.

Let it all revolve around you.

I'm stepping out of that orbit.

And one more thing.

Even if something happened to you,

the company would just replace you like anyone else.

We just saw each other not long ago.

YUTH PANICH

I'm finally here.

SOM SALON

Ever since Yuth closed his shop,

I've had to drag myself all the way to Khlong Thom just to buy things.

It's hot, and now my back hurts.

Chom, once you're done with your hair, take the stuff to the back for me.

This daughter just got her nails done.

She's not in the mood to lift anything heavy.

Bifern!

Help carry some boxes out the back, please.

Sure. I'm coming!

What needs moving?

These two boxes, Fern.

Got it.

Whoa!

See? My life!

I make my daughter help me, and she passes it off to someone else.

In the end, I still have to pay someone else's kid to get the job done.

Why do you have to go buy stuff yourself?

You can just use Maewnam Service.

She leaves for university early in the morning.

You two are friends, aren't you? How come you don't know?

And you? Aren't you in a hurry to get to university?

I've already calculated the time. I'll make it.

I'm a responsible person, you know.

Oh wow.

Should I give you this for that one? Listen to your tone!

Mom, no way! I'm under the hair steamer.

You're getting all glamorous, huh?

Did you come to class alone?

Same here. I came by myself too.

Here, let me get the door for you. It looks like you're carrying a lot.

Thanks.

But I'm not here to study.

I'm here to teach.

If you don't want to sit with me, there's no need to crack a joke like that.

I'll take that as a compliment. You think I look young.

But I'm used to it by now.

Thanks anyway.

Good morning, everyone.

Hello!

PROF. MAEWNAM

I'm Professor Maewnam.

Wow!

You're a professor?!

Easy, easy.

Now that you're here, let me ask you this. Do you know what marketing really is?

What's with that face? Are you about to snap or something?

Whoa. You quit at almost 30?

You know jobs are hard to find these days, right?

Who the hell could put up with a boss like that anyway?

So yeah, I'm out. I quit.

But honestly, I get it.

Your boss was toxic as hell.

If I'd been there, I would've punched him already.

So if I actually did that, would you be my lawyer?

Nope!

- Hey, have you eaten yet? - Yeah.

Where are you coming from? Your office?

Nope. I just got back from the district office.

Why did you go there?

To remove my dad's name from the household registration.

You know what?

To get his birth certificate,

I had to go all the way back to the town he was born in

to dig through piles of documents.

Here you are.

You're lucky you even found it.

Otherwise, you'd have to file a "lost document" case.

Do you have everything you need now?

I want to hurry up and file for you to become the estate administrator.

You need your dad's bankbook too.

I don't have it yet. I'm thinking of going back to find it.

I have no idea where he kept it.

I need the household registration too.

We need to hurry up and transfer the house too.

If it weren't for your help,

I probably would've broken down.

These past few days, I have been exhausted.

Have you even had time to grieve?

I've barely had time to eat.

Hey.

If you need anything, just let me know.

Thanks.

I'll be okay.

Phones away.

It's time for class.

ACCOUNTING FORMULAS

And you didn't erase the board again.

Yes, Mama Som.

You can order now.

Maewnam, look!

I gave my nails a break and redid them.

They're sticking on so well now. It's so sparkly.

- Blonde hair dye, shade .3 gold shimmer. - Here, look.

- Two boxes, right? - Look.

I picked a new gem design.

Cute, right? It's so sparkly.

- All right. You can continue. - Where are you going?

- One box. - Hey.

Doesn't this color shine? It's super sparkly.

- Pomade 80 grams, strong hold formula. - Bling-bling!

And bling-bling too?

Could you go show off your gel nails somewhere else?

You're ruining my focus.

- What are you up to, girls? - Hello? Yes?

Tik, hello.

Hello.

I bought some Pla Naem sausages.

Come eat.

You mean… Naem sausages?

Pla Naem sausages.

You don't know it? Ugh, kids these days…

This is signature and yummy stuff, okay?

I even got it from Nang Loeng Market.

You know, my grandmother used to buy it for me when I was little.

It's top-tier stuff.

Anyway, I also wanted to talk about summer session planning.

By the way, where's Tonnam? She hasn't finished her class?

Has she finished?

Oh, here she comes.

- Hello, Tik. - Hello.

Why didn't you erase the board after you finished teaching?

I just got my nails done. I didn't want them to get dirty.

You didn't want to get dirty, but you wrote all over the board?

Well, I had to write to teach. You want me to do it via telepathy?

Hey, I'm talking nicely here. Why do you have to be sarcastic?

All right, all right. Relax, girls.

As the monks say, "Anger is foolishness, rage is madness."

There's only a few of us here.

Let's discuss work.

We need to divide the summer teaching schedule.

Who wants which section?

I'd like the evening section again.

I can keep my side gigs in the morning.

Wow, how hardworking you are.

You're shipping orders and fixing lights and washing machines.

And you're teaching a bachelor's degree and prepping your PhD too.

Aren't you tired, dear?

Well, I'm not.

Poverty is scarier.

- Excuse me, I have to take this call. - There she goes.

Then I'll take the early morning class, the very first class of the day.

So I don't have to use the room after a messy person like her.

Oh? Did you just insult me?

Why so harsh?

Harsh? Look at this.

You stained my dress and didn't even say sorry.

I don't really feel like I did anything wrong.

Okay. Is that how it's going to be?

Step outside. Let's talk.

Whoa, whoa! Chill!

Relax. Talk nicely, both of you.

Come on. Why do you two fight every single time!?

Wait.

What about my Pla Naem sausages?

Let go!

- No! Come with me. - Where are you taking me? That hurts!

Just come with me already.

Let go! I said let go! Ouch!

See? Now my dress is all stained!

I'm sorry.

I thought you'd never apologize.

Aww, I'm sorry, babe.

I ruined your dress, didn't I?

I'll buy you a new one, my dear.

I don't want a dress.

There's something else I want more.

No way.

We're on campus. Someone might see us.

Come on. Nobody will see us.

Nobody's around.

Come on. Hurry up.

- We can't do that. - Come on.

Wait, are you two dating!?

All right, that's it for today.

Don't forget, like we talked about, there's a graded quiz next week.

No absences, okay?

We have a graded quiz.

You can go home now. Don't forget to review at home.

Bye-bye.

Could someone close the door, please?

- Yes, Professor. - Thanks.

What a day.

MOM

MAEWNAM SERVICE

Is that a cat?

Where are you, little kitty?

What are you doing here?!

Who are you? What are you doing here?

Rat! A rat!

Ugh! Rat!

Oh, I'm sorry.

What are you doing in front of someone else's house?

Well, I heard a cat meowing behind that cabinet.

Let me go get my umbrella first.

Where is it?

Well, it probably chased a rat and got stuck in there.

Let me help.

Push hard.

I'm good at stretching.

- Okay. Okay, got it! - Whoa.

You're such a troublemaker.

What were you doing in there, huh?

How naughty you are.

You're safe now.

Huh? Why did the power go out?

Let me check.

Well, all right.

It should be back now, Wan.

Okay!

It's on again, Wan.

This is just a temporary fix.

I'll get a new wire and come back to replace it.

You know how to fix electrical stuff?

Actually, I can fix lots of things.

If anything breaks, just call me, Wan.

Thanks.

Uh… how do you even know my name?

Well, Papa Yuth…

Uncle Yuth often talked about you.

He always said you were smart and hardworking.

He was really proud of you.

What are you doing here anyway?

It's pretty late.

I just came back to grab some paperwork.

I've been swamped, but I remembered it suddenly and rushed over.

I've been trying to handle everything since…

he's gone now.

Before, I was always busy with work.

When he called, sometimes I'd answer, and sometimes I wouldn't.

I just thought I could always call him back, or see him back home.

But you know what?

One day, suddenly…

I came back and he was no longer here.

I didn't come for the documents tonight.

I came because I miss…

I miss him,

the one who was always waiting for me.

No matter when I came back, he'd be here.

I figured that

at least…

this was where he and I once shared time together.

Papa, I'm home.

I believe Uncle Yuth knows how you feel.

I really hope you can find your strength again soon.

I'm sure he's cheering for you

and watching you from afar.

He'll always be proud of you, just like he has always been.

If you ever need anything, please let me know.

Thanks.

I cried a lot, so I must look awful right now.

No, you still look beautiful, Wan.

I mean, you're always beautiful.

Are you feeling better now?

Yeah.

All right then. I'll get going.

Wait, the cat's still here?

Do you want to keep it?

Nope.

I can't even take care of myself right now.

So what do we do with it?

I can't keep it in the dorm because they don't allow pets.

Or should I sneak it in?

Hey.

You're a student. Don't go breaking rules.

- Oh, well, I'm… - People did it constantly back in the day.

But looking back now, I'm not sure why.

Honestly, maybe just let it go.

It came here on its own, so maybe it'll find its way back too.

I'm heading inside now.

Have a safe trip home.

Yes.

If I were to keep you,

it'd have to live at home.

But I don't want to go back home. What should I do?

What's wrong with you? Why didn't you answer my call?

Come see me at home tomorrow.

Papa,

I'm just going to look for your bankbook.

MOUSE MART IS COMING SOON WITH SPECIAL PROMOTIONS!

"Mouse Mart"?

Your father's condition

was acute heart failure.

It could have been caused by several factors.

Diet, high blood pressure, and also chronic stress.

RIVAL, FIGHT OR DIE.

I'LL TAKE OVER YOUR GROCERY STORE, PAPA.

I'LL TAKE OVER YOUR GROCERY STORE, PAPA.

Hello, Mom.

Why didn't you pick up my call yesterday?

Well, I was teaching.

Have you eaten anything?

Not yet,

but you don't need to trouble yourself making anything for me.

- I'll just go find something to eat. - It's no trouble at all.

I called you here because I've got something for you to eat.

Come here.

Try this.

How is it?

Tell me what you think.

It's pretty good.

Right?

You can barely tell it's ready-made food.

This…

is one of our Mouse Mart's products.

Does it look nice?

It does.

So, how's your PhD going?

Have you found your research topic yet?

I'm still looking.

Still?

And what about that "Maewnam Service"?

Are you still doing that?

I think you're focusing on the wrong things.

You keep running around helping this person and that one.

I honestly don't see what good comes from it.

You're an adult now, Maewnam.

You should know what matters and what doesn't.

I'm already feeling down.

Why'd it have to fall now?

That just made it worse, you know?

Maybe it really isn't important after all.

Are you going to throw it away?

Are you quitting?

Uh… it just fell off, that's all.

I see.

Let me fix it for you.

- Well, I… - Don't worry about it.

I'll fix it for you.

There, all done. See?

I didn't have any screws, so I tied it up with string and tape.

But don't worry, it's super secure. It won't fall off

It's okay.

I'll screw it in later. Just a bit more and it should be fine.

The fact that you helped means so much to me already.

You fixed the light in my cabinet.

I wanted to return the favor.

I don't know what you're going through,

but problems are like rain.

Some days it pours hard.

But trust me,

there will be a day when the rain stops.

But don't worry.

Even if it's not that perfect, I really put my heart into fixing it for you.

Hey, are you okay?

Did I say something wrong?

No, not at all.

Thank you.

Don't cry.

It's Somharuthai.

Your name-choosing skill

is adorable.

And what's your name?

Oong!

I have to quickly win Wan over.

I'll make her fall for me, and ask her to be my girlfriend.

No class this Saturday, right?

Let's go on a date, Pinky-Pinky.

Wait. You work as a waitress here too?

I'm here for a shampoo and blow-dry.

You again?!

How do you shampoo someone and end up with foam on your cheek?

Admit it.

You like that girl called Maewnam now, don't you?
