All language subtitles for 9 Years of You (8)

11 MONTHS LATER

I just got home.

I'll tell you the details tomorrow,

but the outlook is really good.

They really liked our work.

that's it for now.

2023

- Oh, Ran, you're back?
- Yeah.

Where's Dao, Mom?

She's been in the studio since morning.

I brought her lunch
but don't know if she's eaten yet.

Dao?

Dao.

Dao.

Dao, are you okay?

I probably just got tired and dozed off.

Dozed off? Or passed out?

You've been pulling all-nighters for days.

I'm really fine.

I think I just bumped my hand
while sleeping.

Dao,

can you stop acting like
you're completely cured of cancer?

It's been nearly a year, Ran.
I feel normal now.

This is your idea of normal?

It was just an accident.

Did you forget

what the doctor said?

Now that the surgery's done,

and you've completed
all 12 rounds of chemo,

we can say the treatment is complete.

- Does that mean I'm cured?
- For now, yes.

But it's not definitive.

There are cases
where the cancer spreads elsewhere.

One year from now,

you'll need a PET scan to monitor things.

And in the meantime,
you need to take care of yourself,

eat well, rest enough,

and don't overwork.

All of which you're ignoring.

Ran.

The poster for the festival came out.

Isn't it pretty?

Changing the subject, huh?

Can't I just say sorry?

Instead of being sorry,
take care of yourself.

Eat lunch, too.

Doctor,

there's something I want to discuss.

See? That's all it takes.

We can clean it ourselves,
no need to hire anyone.

You're awesome, Bro.

So I guess you clean all of them.

Hey, who's the boss
and who's the employee again?

Come on, go clean the others.

- Take the ladder too.
- Got it.

Here's the screwdriver.

- You're amazing, Bro.
- Go on, go.

I don't even know what to say anymore.

Dao's so stubborn.

We booked a place for our anniversary,

but I don't even know
if she'll clear her schedule.

Even on her birthday,

I had to bring the cake to her computer.

Don't stress out.

You can't plan life too much.

Take me for example.

I planned to save money with Ning first,
then get married.

Next thing I know, I'm buying
a breast pump. We didn't even get married.

Why did it take this long

to meet a client?

Chill, babe.

I stopped to get
your favorite chiffon cake.

Alright.

Ran, that maternity pillow you bought me,

I used it last night. So comfy!

Really?

You and Dao should get on it too.

Our kids can be friends.

How could they?

The doctor said
Dao needs a PET scan after a year.

If she's pregnant, she can't do that.

I know that! But it's almost
a year, right? I'm not dumb.

So when's she getting the scan?

The day after our anniversary.

If it shows the cancer hasn't come back,

you two better get on it.

Hey, Max!

Come back, let's talk, Max.

- Let me go, I don't want to talk!
- What's going on?

It's Dad.

He criticized Max's content.
They had a bit of a disagreement.

It wasn't just a bit of a disagreement.

He trashed my work.
He said I make garbage content.

I just want you
to have more social responsibility.

Even if it's just an online show,

relying on cheap drama

won't last.

I make content for people my age.

But if I have to follow
everything you say,

then it's not my work anymore.

- I quit.
- Max!

Let's talk first, Max.

Don't go, Max.

Didn't I tell you

to listen to the younger ones, Dad?

You've been a consultant for three months,

and two juniors have already quit.

But what they were doing
just didn't work, Ran.

They call it black comedy,

but it's meaningless nonsense.

Audiences are diverse now, Dad.

Max said from the start

that his content was purely for fun.

That's the problem.

That's why there's no good content.

It's not like that, Dad.

Our Better Together channel

aims for variety.

If it's informative content,
that's my doctor show.

If it's for fun,

that's Max and Kae's stuff.

If you can't understand the younger ones,

maybe it's best
you stop coming to the office.

If we need anything,

I will come consult at home instead.

So you're firing me now?

Fine.

Did it really have to come to this?

I should have done it a long time ago.

I kept quiet

because you were
the one who brought him in.

So it's my fault now for inviting him?

Dao.

Did you see this?

The collab between
Mr. Stone Face and C-Fresh.

Mr. Chanon says
it's getting great traction.

They're considering more product tie-ins,

so I already said yes.

I reserved a table for our anniversary.

7 p.m. But…

Don't drink too much wine that night.

You've got your PET scan the next morning.

Is something wrong?

I just rescheduled my appointment.

Why would you do that?

Dao?

It's just the week
we're prepping for the exhibition.

- I'll be busy.
- No matter how busy, you have to go.

We've waited the whole year, Dao.

Don't you want to know
if you're fully cured?

Ran,

this exhibition means a lot to me.

Only four artists were invited.

Each of them
has been working for a decade.

I haven't even been
doing this for five years.

I want to give it my all.

So your work
matters more than your health?

It's not like that.

Right after the exhibition ends,
I'll go see the doctor.

- I've already made an appointment.
- When?

Soon.

So that means you haven't.

This is Girl Generation's
first big concert here, okay?

You expect a Sone like me to miss it?

But you've got a 38-degree fever.

Do you know I had to wake up
at 5 a.m. to get that ticket?

How can I not go?

They'll come again.
You can see them next time.

But next time won't be
their first time in Thailand!

What if you collapse
and die at the concert?

Then at least I'll die happy.

Dao already left?

Yes. She made breakfast for you too.

Thanks.

Would you like something to drink?

- No, I've got it.
- Okay.

DON'T FORGET TO PICK UP THE STUFF

FROM MOM'S HOUSE, DAO.

Ran.

- How are you?
- I'm good.

You've really kept all of Dao's old work?

You used to complain
when she drew cartoons all the time.

I thought you threw them out.

Did I look that heartless?

Sorry.

Honestly,

I was going to throw them out many times.

But seeing how much effort
Dao put into it, I just couldn't do it.

Take a look and see
which ones you can still use.

Sure.

Mom,

the herbs you asked me to get.

Here. These are for Dao.

They're for strengthening the uterus.

After the PET scan,
they'll help her conceive more easily.

Thank you.

Ran, is everything okay?
Did you and Dao fight again?

Same issue, Mom.

She's been working even harder
than usual for this exhibition.

Some nights
she falls asleep in the studio.

Now she's even postponed her scan.

Doesn't she want to know
if she's cancer-free?

And when will I get to hold my grandchild?

But honestly,
she's always worked this hard

partly because of me.

I've compared Dao to Duen her whole life.

She grew up feeling like
she had something to prove.

But now that she's come this far,

I don't know why she still feels
like she has to prove anything.

But it's her dream, right?

And now that her dream is coming true,

I think
she just wants to give it her all first.

Ran, you're back?

- Yes.
- I've got some good news.

Come on, sit down.

Do you remember Uncle Kitja?

The owner of the Kitja Group hotel chain?

Yeah.

He sees great potential in your company,

your online shows, your ad work,

it's all doing great.

So,

he's interested in acquiring your company.

You mean buying Better Together?

Yes.

I did a rough valuation.

Your profits

have been growing
an average of 20% annually.

At a PE ratio of 12,

your company's worth 120 million baht.

But Kitja

is offering a PE of 13,

that's 130 million.

You should sell.

You were away the last few days

because you went to meet Kitja?

He asked me to go.

He really loves your company, Ran.

Ran,

130 million baht is pure profit.

Alright.

Let me arrange a signing meeting with him.

You haven't learned your lesson
with this guy, Dad?

But he has money.

It's 130 million baht.

Just think, how many more years
would you and your friends have to work

to make that kind of money?

I'm not handing over the company I built
to someone like him.

Dear,

please stop interfering with his company.

- I just want to help.
- No need.

Remember when I told you

he's more capable than you are?

Did you forget

that I repaid
all your debts within five years?

I believe that if he runs into a problem,

he'll solve it better than you could.

And he doesn't need Kitja for that.

So I screw up once,

and I'm suddenly the failure now?

Ran,

I just don't want you to end up like me.

When I ran the magazine,

I thought it would keep going strong.

Then

disruption hit,

and I couldn't respond fast enough.

And you think your work

won't be disrupted too?

Thanks for worrying,

but I already have a plan.

What plan?

I'm still in the middle of it.

It's not final yet.

Dad!

What you went through

taught me plenty.

And if I ever run into trouble,

I'll face it head-on.

Just like you taught me.

Not like what you did.

Say what you want.

Don't hold back just because he's my dad.

Okay.

I think your dad's out of line.

Our company isn't his Add-On Magazine.

He can't just do whatever he wants.

Right. And wasn't that Kitja the one
who got your dad into online gambling?

And he totally disrespected us,

offering only 13x PE?

Why didn't you just tell your dad
what you're planning?

Because if I tell him now and it fails,

he'll think he was right all along.

I want to wait until it's solid.

Your dad's stubborn. Your wife's stubborn.

You must be having a rough time.

Let's go make merit.
maybe things will turn around.

Seriously,

you two never have any issues at all?

I say one word,
and the whole family is peaceful.

Yes.

What word?

- Sorry.
- Sorry.

Try remembering that and use it.

Trust me, that word is magical.

Try it if you don't believe me.

Oh my.

Why would you put the veggies
on top of the eggs?

Ugh, this is chaos.

And who cuts avocados like that?

Just leave it.

I was just trying to help.

The more you help, the slower it gets.

It's fine. Here, let me make a new one.

No.

Don't.

You've got heavy hands.
The more you touch, the messier it gets.

I'll do it myself.

Then,

I'll help pour the orange juice.

I said you don't need to do anything.

I've got this.

See?

The more you help, the messier it gets.

Just go sit down, please.

So everything I do is wrong?

You want me to just sit around all day
like someone who's completely useless?

Yes.

I already called the technician.

Right now?

But I've got dinner plans.

Fine, I'll swing by quickly.

- Where's Mr. Ran?
- Over there.

Sorry, Ran.

The exhibition team called.
I had to go talk to the technician.

I only talked for ten minutes, though.

Traffic was bad.

Would you prefer red or white wine?

Just water, thanks.

- You may serve it.
- Yes, Sir.

Happy anniversary.

Thanks, Ran.

I saw you
looking it up online all the time.

Did you see it?

I don't just work all the time, you know.

Thank you.

Before I left home,

Dad and Mom were arguing again.

I feel bad for Dad.

He hasn't been involved
in the company much lately.

- He must be bored.
- Don't go there, Dao.

I know.

I didn't expect him to

want to sell the company either.

Here's our appetizer tonight,
Trio of the Sea,

featuring shrimp, scallop, and sea bass,

served with a honey lemon sauce.

Please enjoy.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Why just water tonight?

I've been tired lately.
I didn't feel like drinking.

Let's eat.

Have you rebooked your PET scan yet?

Not yet.

Then when will you?

If you don't, I will.

Ran, wait.

- I'll do it myself.
- When?

After the exhibition ends.

So you'll wait a whole week?

It's just a week.

Dao.

Hello?

No, not that one.

Yes, I think having them
placed next to each other looks better.

Dao.

Stop talking on the phone.

Okay. I gotta go.

This is not the time to work.

Now you're coughing

and still refusing to get checked up?

- I just choked on water. Don't overreact.
- Dao.

I know you've got the heart of a fighter.

But if your body can't keep up,

willpower alone won't get you through.

Go get it checked.

So we can have a baby.

Let's go back inside.

Can you stop already?

You've had this
running-away-from-problems thing

since we were kids and never fixed it.

Yes, I run from problems.
I'm scared, I'm a loser, I'm selfish.

I always think of myself first.

That's just how I am. Alright?

- Happy anniversary.
- Happy anniversary.

Shall we take a photo?

Sure.

Here, let me help.

I'll turn it a bit this way.

Right here.

Ready? One, two, three.

How about a smile?

Smile a little bit.

Alright.

Big smiles, one, two.

Ladies and gentlemen,
you're now at the exhibition of Nubdao,

a Thai artist and
creator of the iconic Mr. Stone Face.

Over the past few years,

her work has been
a source of healing for many.

And today, Ms. Nubdao

will unveil the world's only

giant version of Mr. Stone Face,

now available for auction.

And this

is the one and only giant Mr. Stone Face

ready for bidding.

Now let's take a look

at the full atmosphere
of the event together.

Let's go.

I knew my friend was popular,

but I didn't know you were this popular.

Traffic out front was crazy.
It took forever to find parking.

- Congratulations.
- Thanks.

- Congrats.
- Thank you.

Hey, Dao, if you've got time,

can you sign this for me?

Are you gonna flip it for profit again?

Even your friends aren't safe, huh?

Hey, in this economy,

you can't be picky
if you don't want to go broke.

- Alright, I'll sign it.
- Okay.

Where's Ran?

He went to pick up Mom and Duen.

HAVING A STONE FACE
DOESN'T MEAN FEELING NOTHING

I think this one's great.

Look how she painted the colors.

- So detailed.
- Those lines are so sharp.

And the cat's hair,

each stroke so intricate,
like etched patterns.

You can tell right away
whose work this is.

Look. This is cute.

That bird is adorable.

- So is that one.
- Hello.

- Hi there!
- How'd you get here?

The drama crew cancelled,
so I was able to come.

Whoa, this one is so cute.

Prang and Pao would love it.

Dao.

- Mom.
- Dao.

Here.

Congratulations, Sweetie.

Wow, I never imagined
your exhibition would be this big.

You really are the best.

You've earned the title of
Mom's favorite child.

She kept asking over and over

what to wear to your event.

You'd look great in anything, Mom.

Just the fact that you came
makes me happy.

Dao,

you don't need to prove anything anymore.

I've always known that my daughter

is the best.

From now on,
just take care of your health,

so you can be with me for a long time.

- Okay
- Congratulations, Dao.

Thank you, Jew.

Dao,

try working a bit less.

I feel bad for Ran.

Teacher Parn!

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Hello, hello.
- I'm so glad you came.

Congratulations, Nubdao.

Thank you so much.

Mom, this is Teacher Parn.

- Hello.
- Hello.

My work turned out so well
because I got a lot of guidance from him.

I'm actually a fan of your work too.

Too bad I didn't bring
anything for you to sign today.

Thank you for liking it.

- Thank you for taking care of my daughter.
- My pleasure. I'm really glad.

Teacher,

this is Ran.

- My husband.
- Oh.

- Hello.
- Hello.

So you're the real Mr. Stone Face, right?

Yes.

Po,

it looks amazing in person.

Look at the details in the hair.
It's like it stepped out of a painting.

Do you know

this large version of Mr. Stone Face

- is the only one in the world.
- Seriously?

Yes. I wonder who's going to win it today.

Right.

- Oh my.
- What should we do?

Gorgeous.

- I want it.
- I want it.

We just got great news today.

Mr. Chanon confirmed
he'll invest in Better Together.

- Yes!
- Great!

Cheers!

That's amazing, Ran.

With a PE ratio of 18,

our company's valuation is 180 million.

Of the three offers,

this one is the best.

They'll invest 49%,

around 88 million baht.

Half the money
will go to expanding the company,

the other half
will be distributed among shareholders.

And they won't interfere in management.

We'll still run the company ourselves.

- Honey.
- Yes?

Now we'll have the money
to renovate the hotel for you.

- Are you happy?
- Very.

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

My little baby,
you don't need to live in a condo anymore.

I'll use the money to buy a house,

so you can have space to run around.

How about we go
reserve the house tomorrow?

Ran,

Mr. Chanon has arrived.

- Hello, Mr. Chanon.
- Hello, Mr. Ran.

These are my friends,
partners in Better Together.

Kae.

- Mew.
- Hello.

- Zen.
- Hello.

- Ning.
- Hello.

Nice to meet you.

Looks like we'll be partners soon.

Looking forward to it.

Ran just told us the good news.

We promise we won't let you down.

Better Together
is going to be bigger than ever.

Dao.

Oh, Mr. Chanon.

- Hello.
- Hello, Ms. Nubdao.

- That's him.
- Dear.

That's Mr. Chanon,

eldest son of Chairman Surachai.

Yes.

He's the one whose brand collaborated
with Dao's cartoon series.

Ran was the one who made that deal happen.

With the way they toasted just now,

looks like more projects are coming.

I told you he's talented.

Mom, Dad,

come here with me.

- Mr. Chanon.
- Yes?

These are my parents.

- Hello.
- Hello.

This is Mr. Chanon from SC Corporation.

He's investing in Better Together.

Just so you know,

I'm a big fan of Add-On.

I've bought every volume.

Now I get why Ran is so capable.

He takes after his amazing dad.

Thank you.

Now, we have a bid from Mr. Chanon.

Four million
and eight hundred thousand baht.

Four million and eight hundred thousand.
Anyone higher than that?

Five million, anyone? Five million baht?

Do we have five million?

Anyone for five million baht?

Five million baht?

Anyone higher for five million?

Anyone…

We now have a bid from Mr. Thakolkiet.

Five million baht from Mr. Thakolkiet.

Anyone higher than five million?

More than five million?

Anyone?

If not, I'll begin counting.

Five million from Mr. Thakolkiet.

Do I hear more?

Five million going once.

Five million going twice. Five million…

Here we are.

Mr. Pongsathorn.

Five million and five hundred thousand.

Mr. Phongsathorn raises it to 5.5 million.

Five million and five hundred thousand?

Anyone higher than 5.5?

More than 5.5 million?

Anyone?

If not, I'll start counting again.

Mr. Pongsathorn.

Five million and five hundred thousand,
going once.

Five million and five hundred thousand,
going once.

Anyone else?

Five million and five hundred thousand,

going…

twice. Anyone?

Five million and five hundred thousand.

Five million and five hundred thousand

going three times.

Thank you!

Mr. Stone Face model,

standing 50 cm tall,
a one-of-a-kind in the world,

has just been sold

for 5.5 million baht.

And the winning bidder is
Mr. Pongsathorn Thamwattana

of JP Toys!
Please come up to the stage for a photo.

- Mr. Pongsathorn, right this way, please.
- Congratulations.

And let's welcome the artist as well.
Ms. Nubdao, please join us on stage.

Photographers, this way please.
Photographers.

- Thank you.
- Over here.

- Yes, thank you.
- Center stage, please.

In the center.

The proceeds from today's auction

will be donated to
the Cancer Research Foundation.

A good cause for all.

Everyone here is a giver today.

Now let's hear from the artist herself,
Ms. Nubdao, anything you'd like to say?

- Please take good care of Mr. Stone Face.
- Of course, I'd be happy to.

Having a stone face

doesn't mean feeling nothing.

That's my girl.

Dao.

- Dao.
- Dao.

Dao.

CHAKRAWECH HOSPITAL

Ms. Dao's coughing and nosebleed

are caused by a nasal infection.

Also,

you haven't been getting enough rest.

Does this have anything to do with cancer?

I don't think so.

Most likely due to PM2.5 dust particles.

December

tends to have high pollution.

However,

we currently can't do a PET scan.

Would you like to tell Mr. Paran yourself?

I believe

he has the right to know now.

I'm two months pregnant.

Congratulations.

How long have you known?

Since last week.

Why didn't you tell me?

I consulted with the doctor and found out
I can't do a PET scan while pregnant.

So I came to ask what I should do.

But you didn't consult me.

You already had enough problems.

I didn't want to add more stress for you.

Having a baby isn't a problem, Dao.

But you're the one who said
you'd make me lie down and do nothing.

So you didn't tell me

because you were afraid
I wouldn't let you work?

Isn't that a bit much?

It's not like I'd actually
force you to lie still all day.

I planned to tell you
after the exhibition.

And when I saw the doctor,

he told me that even without a PET scan,

there are still other ways
to monitor my condition.

So I thought it was okay.

That's not the issue.

The issue is that you didn't tell me.

You let me worry for days.

Well, now you know.

- So stop nagging already?
- How can I stop?

You know when you nag,
you stress everyone else out too.

You sound like an old man.

Are you trying to be like my dad now

because I said I liked guys like my dad?

Yes.

If you won't take care of yourself,

then I'll be your dad too.

You're acting like my dad, my uncle,
my grandpa, even my great-grandpa now.

We're about to have a baby.

Why are we even arguing?

Who started it?

With a dad this naggy,
I can't imagine how naggy the kid will be.

And with a mom this stubborn,

the kid will be twice as bad.

Dao,

your life doesn't just
belong to you anymore.

If anything happens to you,

how will the people who love you go on?

How will I go on?

But the doctor already said

there are still other options.

The point is,

when we have problems,

we don't solve them alone,

we solve them together.

Don't forget.

Better Together, right?

Right.

Now we're together as three.

Dad,

we haven't boxed together in forever.

Bring it on.

Ran,

how long have you been
talking to Mr. Chanon?

Well,

since mid-year.

During our peak.

It reminded me of when you made Add-On.

At the time,

was there any sign of what was coming?

None.

Back then,

everything was going great.

Wherever I went,

people had Add-On in their hands.

Whenever I reached out
to someone for a cover feature,

they'd say yes right away.

I was so proud of my success

that I forgot

the world was changing.

By the time I realized it,

the smartphone could do everything.

But I'm glad

you learned from my mistakes

and turned them into something valuable.

You and I

come from different generations.

That's why we think differently.

I think

we just need to find balance,

the right middle ground.

And I wouldn't be able to do any of this

if you hadn't raised me
the way you did, Dad.

I'm sorry, Ran.

I'm sorry too,

for the way I spoke to you.

One year really flew by
didn't it, listeners?

And now we're at the end of it!

If you're going out to countdown,
DM me and tell me all about it.

But if you're staying in,

you can always chill with me,
DJ Ong, right here on EFM 94.

After dropping this
what did the client say?

Is it good?

Smells amazing in here!

Bacon fried rice.

But don't eat just yet.
There's a lot more coming, just wait.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- Okay.
- Okay.

Alright, sure.

Eat up, sweetheart.

We've gotta keep our baby strong.

Hey everyone!

Let's raise our glasses to all
the good things waiting for us in 2024!

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

This one's for
the two heirs of Better Together.

And this one's for

Better Together.

- A greater one!
- Not yet.

They'll sign the deal after New Year.

It's practically a done deal.

Mr. Chanon's
obsessed with Ran at this point.

Cheers!

- Cheers!
- Everyone.

Don't look so shocked.
Everyone's wearing one.

Alright.

Thank you.

- Thank you, Mom.
- Nice one.

Grapes are ready!
Come have some sweet grapes, everyone.

They're so sweet.

Let's go.

Are you hungry?

This year you don't have to
eat under the table anymore, Babe.

Why were you eating under the table again?

It's a TikTok New Year tradition, Mom.

You eat 12 grapes under the table

from 11:59 to 12:01.

- And your wish will come true.
- Oh really?

I did it last year…

and all I got was this guy.

Should've skipped it, honestly.

Well in that case, I'm doing it this year.

I'll wish for a grandson.

How about a granddaughter, Morn?

A grandson, please.

A granddaughter would be adorable.

- But a boy's more fun to play with.
- You can dress a girl up.

Grandson.

Mom, please, don't fight over it yet.

I'm only three months in.

Wait, where are Ran and Dad?

Why aren't they back yet?

Probably a long queue.

Here it is.

Sorry it's a bit slow.

Sure.

LHAO CHAROENROS

Wait a sec, Dad.

So many people ordered ahead.

Why didn't you just use Wiman?

It's New Year's Eve. Lots of customers.

I didn't want to fight for a slot.

Besides, when I was little,

you and I always came

to this roast duck shop on New Year's.

Today…

It seems like old times.

And

while I was away,

did you ever bring Mom here?

Never.

This is the first time I've come back.

Well then,

from now on,

let's come here every year.

And next year,

I'll bring my grandchild with me.

Absolutely, Dad.

It reminds me of when you were a kid.

I used to drive you to school every day.

And Mom would pack you
a rice box to eat in the car.

You'd spill it everywhere!

Hurry back!

Dao said hurry back, Dad.

Tell Dao we'll be home soon.

Sure.

Dad?

Dad.

Dad.

What's wrong?

Dad, Dad!

Dad!

It's sad!

- What do we do?
- I don't know!

I brought you flowers.

Do you like them?

- Parcel for Ms. Nubdao.
- I didn't order anything.

It's from Mr. Paran.
