LOVE AND FORTUNE

LOVE AND FORTUNE

It really is this boat, Chok.

You're right.

It's blood.

I think this might be Manas's blood.

I think if we follow this trail of blood,

we might find him.

Let's hurry and find Manas.

-Wait, Than. -What?

-I think you should go to the police. -What?

I'll follow Jerd.

-I'll find out where he's hiding Manas. -No, Chok.

If the police find you, you'll get arrested too.

But Manas's life is more important right now.

-Chok. -I'm begging you.

All right.

But promise me that you won't do anything reckless.

You will wait there until the police arrive.

I promise.

Chok didn't run away, but he went to look for Manas?

That's right.

So where's Chok now?

He was tailing Jerd.

He told me to go to the police.

But I'm afraid the police will arrest him if they find him.

So I came to ask for your advice about what to do, Ms. Wasee.

You should take Mun with you and find Chok and Manas.

I'll go to the police myself.

Yes, ma'am.

Tell Mun to go with Than.

And let me know right away when he finds out where Chok is.

Yes, ma'am.

Ms. Wasee, you're just going to the police.

Why did you have to change into these clothes?

I'm planning to go with the police.

Because if they arrest Chok,

I can help him.

Ms. Wasee.

Bua, why won't the door open?

Sorry?

I locked the door.

I won't let you go anywhere.

Mother.

Stop thinking about helping Chok.

He's a fugitive now.

I won't let you go down with him.

Mother, I don't believe that Chok did it.

Chok would never hurt His Highness.

Mother.

Lady Potchanit.

Mun left with Than.

He said that as soon as he finds Chok, he'll return to let us know.

Good.

I can let the police know where to arrest him.

Mother.

Please don't do that, Mother.

Mother.

Mother. Mother.

Mother. Mother.

What do we do?

So, Euang poisoned my father?

That means he fell down the stairs

because of her concoction.

It could be the concoction

or it could be something even more serious.

She could have pushed His Highness down the stairs.

Where are you going, sir?

I'm going to deal with her.

Please calm down.

You can't do anything to her with this little evidence.

A woman who's full of tricks like her,

without the evidence to back her into a corner,

she'll find a way to worm her way out.

We have to get her to admit first

that she made the concoction to poison His Highness.

Please believe me.

I know women better than you do.

We mustn't tell anyone about this yet.

I don't want her to know we're onto her.

But if she finds out that we suspect her,

she'll try to get rid of us both.

She won't be able to use the concoction to get rid of anyone.

I switched a normal tonic with her poison.

Thank you so much, Pim.

For helping me protect my family.

I'm your wife, sir.

Your family is my family.

But you have to be careful.

You know what she's capable of.

I'll go and deal with Chok first.

Then I'll make sure she's punished

for hurting my father.

Yes, sir.

Don't worry, sir.

I know what to do

to make her admit that she poisoned His Highness.

Come on. Let's go that way.

Damn it.

When will that shop owner stop coming after me, damn it?

I have to find Chok today.

I'll get some money from him

and get away from here.

You bastard.

"If you know the woman in the picture,

come to Aphaphirom Manor.

You'll be rewarded handsomely."

It's Mali.

Why do people at that manor want to find Mali?

I'll give you 5,000 baht for this necklace.

5,000 baht.

5,000 baht.

That lord wanted the necklace.

People at Apha Manor want to find Mali.

Or could it be…?

I have an idea.

I have an idea.

Is anyone there?

Open the door for me.

Hey.

Is anyone there?

-Hey! -What?

Who are you looking for?

Oh, I'm here to see the owner of the manor.

I have business with him.

Open the door for me.

Who are you? What's your business with His Highness?

My name is Chon.

I know this woman.

Here.

Here.

NOTICE

NOTICE

Lord Pas said that

Chon is looking for Chok.

And His Highness has put up a picture of Mali, Chon's wife,

all over Phra Nakhon.

I think

Chon is bound to come here to see His Highness.

And when he comes,

you bring him to me.

Wait for me at the gate by the manor.

I'll bring my mistress to see you.

This way, ma'am.

Hello.

Is your name Chon?

Yes, I'm Chon. I'm Chok's adoptive father.

And I'm the husband of Mali.

The woman in this picture.

Let me ask you.

Why would anyone at this manor be looking for my wife?

His Highness would like to ask your wife about something.

It's about Chok, right?

Actually,

the other day,

a lord at this manor

tried to buy this necklace from me. Here it is.

And today, people at this manor are looking for my wife too.

That means that Chok

must have something to do with the people at this manor, right?

Have you told anyone about this?

Gosh, I haven't told anyone.

I'm waiting to tell His Highness.

His Highness is in the hospital in a critical condition.

He can't see you now.

But don't worry.

I'll find you a place

to stay and wait until His Highness wakes up.

Then I'll take you to him.

All right. But let me tell you this. The reward I'm getting

must be worth the effort of raising Chok well.

Chok.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

What's his relationship to Chok, Jerd?

Last time, Chok showed up to save him.

Today, Chok came after us to save him again.

I don't know.

But don't worry about it.

Just make sure Chok can't save him anymore.

I'll go see that bitch Ms. Euang today.

It's time.

That bitch Ms. Euang has to pay for betraying us.

Keep an eye on him.

Okay.

How did it go?

Did you find a place to hide Chon?

It's done.

He rented a house on the canal with the money you gave him.

I specifically told him

not to go anywhere until you contact him, ma'am.

Good job.

Keep an eye on him.

I'll find a way to kill him.

Yes, ma'am.

Just like you tried to kill me?

Jerd.

You're still alive?

No, don't come any closer!

No, stop!

-Oh, gosh! -Chan!

No.

-Come here. -Ms. Euang!

-Come here! -Ms. Euang!

-Let me go! -Ms. Euang!

-Let me go! -Stop!

If you cry out for help,

I'll stab you.

Don't do anything stupid.

If I get caught,

I'll tell the police

that you hired me to kill Manas.

What do you want?

Come here.

I want to raise my pay to 20,000 baht.

20,000 baht?

You couldn't even get the last job done.

And you're asking for 20,000 baht?

I don't have it to give you.

10,000 baht is for killing Manas.

And another 10,000 baht

is compensation for trying to kill me.

I don't have it to give you.

Let me go!

If you don't have it,

then I'll bring Manas here.

Hey, is Manas with you?

-Is he with you? -Yes.

Where is he? Tell me where he is!

You don't need to know.

But one thing is for sure.

You wouldn't want Manas

to survive to tell anyone your secret.

Would you?

Right?

20,000 baht. Do we have a deal?

All right.

But you have to kill Manas first.

Then I'll give you what you asked for.

Go!

-What are you doing? -Oh, gosh.

What are you doing?

This bracelet is a deposit.

Oh, right.

And remember this.

If you ever try to betray me again,

I won't let you go.

Jerd, you!

No, don't go near him, ma'am.

Please don't, Ms. Euang.

-Are you hurt? Let me see. -Oh, gosh.

I'm sorry.

How dare Jerd threaten you, Ms. Euang?

Just let it go.

Just think of him as a barking dog.

Ms. Euang.

Aren't you worried?

This is even better.

Jerd will kill Manas for me.

My secret about Manee and Chok

will die with him.

What about Lord Pas?

What if he changes his mind

and tells His Highness or Lady Kulab about Chok?

Don't worry.

I've come up with a plan to get rid of Pas.

Why has it taken Mun this long to bring the police here?

Chok.

I think we should rescue Manas now.

Slow down, Than.

We don't know if Jerd has other men working for him.

Let's take a look around first.

Then we'll try to rescue Manas.

Than.

There's only one man working for Jerd.

Chok.

I think we should rescue Manas now. Come on.

Let's go.

Wait.

How did it go, Jerd?

I made a deal with her.

We'll get more money.

Extra money.

Are you sure she won't betray us again?

If she betrays us this time,

she will eat my bullet.

Where did you get the gun?

Wang Burapha.

I don't trust her.

Go buy some gasoline.

I made a deal with her that

I'll burn Manas to ashes.

Okay, boss.

What should we do, Chok?

Jerd has a gun.

If we go in now,

we could put Manas in danger.

I think we should wait for the police.

What if the police don't get here in time and Manas gets burned?

If that happens,

I'll go in and rescue Manas.

Hasn't Wasee eaten anything?

No, Lady Pot.

She hasn't eaten anything since last night.

If this continues, she might fall ill.

Let's see

how long she can keep this up.

Lady Pot.

I found out where Chok is.

Where is he?

I'll get the police to arrest him.

What should we do?

Be quiet.

Tell me where Chok is.

Ms. Wasee.

Here you go.

Be careful, Ms. Wasee.

Be careful, Ms. Wasee.

I'll get going.

Wait a minute, Nuan.

Who is this food for?

It's for Ms. Euang, ma'am.

Can you bring me the tamarind paste?

I'm going to scrub my body with it.

Please. Please?

-Here you are. -Thank you.

Would you like dessert now, Ms. Euang?

I'll ask Nuan to bring it to you.

No, I don't feel like it today.

Besides, I have to hurry to check on His Highness.

If he wakes up and starts talking about Chok again, it will be bad.

Yes, ma'am.

Oh, gosh.

Ms. Euang.

Oh, my god, Ms. Euang!

Ms. Euang.

Please sit down.

Be careful.

Ms. Euang.

What's wrong, Ms. Euang?

My head hurts.

Can you get my herbal medicine?

Yes, ma'am.

Here you are, Ms. Euang.

Ms. Euang.

Ms. Euang.

Why don't I take you to a doctor?

Come.

There's no need to see a doctor.

It was just a small dose.

You'll be fine after resting for a while.

What was it?

What did you have me eat?

The same concoction

you gave His Highness the day he fell down the stairs.

What are you saying?

I don't know anything.

This packet…

I got it from your room, Ms. Euang.

That's not true.

You're trying to frame me.

This concoction

is made up of toad skins,

cobra bones,

and centipedes.

They're ground into powder.

You're the one who put it

in the tea His Highness drank the day he fell down the stairs.

It's not true. I didn't do it.

If you won't admit it to me,

you can admit it to the police later.

Go ahead.

If you tell the police,

I'll tell everyone about Chok.

That Chok is His Highness's son.

Think about it.

When Chok comes to live in the manor…

Think carefully.

How low Lord Pas, your husband, will fall?

Besides,

if I get arrested,

Lord Pas, your husband, will get arrested too.

Because Lord Pas

worked with me to frame Chok.

I think that since we are in the same boat,

we can come to an agreement, Ms. Euang.

Are you willing to make a deal with me now?

What do you want?

You have to promise me

that you won't hurt Lord Pas.

And I won't tell anyone about this poison.

Even to Lord Pas.

How dare you threaten me?

Oh, gosh.

Oh, gosh.

-Pim. -Stop!

This is between mistresses. A servant should stay out of it.

You told me yourself

that you and I are alike.

Whatever you do,

I can do it too.

From now on,

don't you dare lay a finger on Lord Pas or anyone else in this manor.

Oh, gosh, Ms. Euang.

-You bitch! -Ms. Euang.

Be careful, Ms. Euang!

Ms. Euang.

I believe that Father will be all right.

Please eat something, Mother.

Or you'll be ill too.

Thank you.

Euang.

Why do you look so tired? Are you all right?

I'm fine.

I'm just too worried about His Highness to eat or sleep.

Did you catch Chok?

No, ma'am.

But we've been tipped off that

Chok is hiding in the woods behind a temple in Taling Chan.

Right now, we're trying to catch him.

Officer,

please don't hurt Chok.

Because I still believe he's innocent.

And I would like to hear from him what really happened that night.

Yes, ma'am.

Wait, officer.

I'll go with you.

PATIENT ROOM

Lord Pas.

What are you going to do?

I'll make sure Chok never comes back.

Are you going to kill him?

Good.

Anyone who dares to be a thorn in your side,

you must get rid of him.

If you wait until His Highness wakes up,

by then,

he'll have taken everything from you.

I got the gasoline.

Pour it all around.

I'll burn him and be done with it.

Let's go.

-Hey. -Than.

We have to rescue Manas right now.

Let's go.

Hey!

Oh, gosh.

Hey!

Oh, gosh.

Chok.

Stop!

Pour the gasoline all around, go.

Okay.

Let me go!

You can't blame me, Chok.

You brought this upon yourself.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have to kill you.

If I get out of here,

I'll find you and beat you up.

Get out of here first.

Then you can talk.

Jerd, why are you doing this?

What did Manas do to you that you have to kill him?

I don't have a grudge against him.

But someone hired me.

Who hired you?

Knowing it won't do you any good, Chok.

You're all going to die anyway.

You should thank me.

I'm sending you off

to be with your mother.

Let me go, Chok.

Let go of me.

Watch out!

Hurry, Chok.

The shed is burning down.

I'm trying.

Here, let me help.

Lord Pas brought the police to arrest you.

You need to get out of here! Let's go!

Chok is in the shed. Let's get him.

No, I'm going to save Manas.

Chok.

Chok.

Chok.

You should go. I'll only slow you down.

I can't hold on any longer. Go, Chok.

No, I'm taking you with me.

There's something I want to ask you.

What is it, Chok?

I want to know if you're my father.

Chok, listen to me carefully.

You're…

Oh, gosh.

Hey! Manas!

Come on.

No. Manas!

Let's go, Chok. The police are here.

-Manas! -Chok.

-No, Chok. -Manas!

-We need to get out. -Manas!

-Manas! -Chok, you need to get out.

-Get out. -Manas!

-Manas! -Chok.

Get out.

Chok.

Chok.

Chok.

If you get caught, Manas's sacrifice to save you

would have been for nothing.

Listen to me, Chok.

You have to get away first.

To catch Jerd who hurt Manas.

Do you understand, Chok?

Jerd will pay for what he did to Manas and my mother.

The police are here, Chok. You have to run. Let's go.

Hurry.

Go.

Chok went that way. Let's go get him.

Let's go, Chok.

Let's go.

-Ms. Wasee. -Ms. Wasee.

I parked my car at the edge of the woods.

Let's go back to my car.

Go, Chok. I'll lead the cops to the other side.

-What if you get caught? -It's okay. I can take care of myself.

Go now. Hurry.

Let's go.

Hey, stop!

Stop right now!

My car is parked just outside the edge of the woods.

Let's go.

The police.

How are we going to get to the car?

Ms. Wasee.

I think you should go back.

I'll figure out a way to escape.

I'm not going.

I came to help you because I believe you didn't do it.

But I don't want to get you in trouble.

I don't care.

If you want a chance to prove your innocence,

stop rejecting my help.

All right.

Stop.

Stop, Chok.

Resisting arrest will only make your situation worse, Chok.

This isn't Chok.

Lord Pas.

Don't do this, Pas.

If you want to shoot me, then do it.

But I will never admit that I hurt His Highness.

Because I didn't do it.

My car is parked over there.

If you don't want to die, take my car and leave.

Aren't you here to arrest me?

I told you to run, so run!

Don't come back to Phra Nakhon again.

Why are you helping me?

You don't need to know.

Just give me your word that you won't come back here again.

If I ever see you again, I'll kill you.

He's over there. Let's go!

Let's go, Chok.

Oh, Lord Pas.

Chok stole your car and ran away?

That's right.

When I arrived, I left my keys in the car, so Chok stole it.

I told you that Jerd kidnapped Manas.

Chok and I came here to rescue Manas.

You know Chok is wanted by the police.

Why didn't you report him?

I know.

And I tried to persuade Chok, but…

he was very worried about Manas, so we came to rescue him first.

But then the fire broke out, so we all split up.

Where is Manas now?

When the shed was burning down,

Manas was tied up in there.

Chok and I couldn't get him out in time.

Does that mean Manas is dead?

Oh, gosh.

Tell me right now. Where did Wasee go?

I really don't know, ma'am.

-Here. -Oh, gosh.

Are you lying to me?

Did you help Wasee run away to save Chok?

You're all in on this.

Hello, this is Rachasart Manor.

Pardon?

I understand.

Lady Pot.

The police said they have found the car from our manor.

What?

Chok got away?

What about Wasee? Where's my daughter?

According to the statements from Than and Lord Pas,

they didn't see Wasee at the scene.

How is that possible? It's impossible.

Lord Pas, did you see Wasee?

Didn't you see Wasee?

No.

I didn't see her.

Oh, no.

Where could she be?

My dear Wasee, where are you?

Calm down, Lady Potchanit.

If Wasee drove out to help Chok as you said,

it's possible that she's with him right now.

She's with Chok?

Could it be

that Chok forced her to go with him?

Could it be

that he has taken her hostage?

Wasee.

Officer, you have to arrest Chok

on a kidnapping charge as well.

I'm sorry about Manas, Chok.

But you have to be strong.

I know.

I was just thinking

who would hire Jerd to kill Manas.

Who do you think it was?

I heard Jerd

refer to the person who hired him to kill Manas as a mistress.

A mistress.

I remember you said

the police concluded that it must be someone in the manor

because they know their way around.

That means the mistress he mentioned

must be someone from Apha Manor.

But there are only two mistresses in Apha Manor.

Lady Kulab and Ms. Euang.

But Lady Kulab is kind.

I believe she wouldn't hurt Manas.

That means it's Ms. Euang.

But why would she want to kill Manas?

That day, Term told me that

His Highness talked to Manas about something,

so he asked Term to take me to the manor.

But when I arrived, His Highness fell down the stairs.

And Ms. Euang framed me for it.

If it's true that Ms. Euang hired Jerd to kill Manas,

that means Manas must know a secret

that she doesn't want anyone to know.

But it's strange.

Pas framed you, but then he helped you escape from the police.

But he did threaten me

not to come back to Phra Nakhon again.

Lord Pas must hate me very much.

He seems to want me far away from his life.

Could it be that the secret Manas knows

is about you, Chok?

Whether the secret has anything to do with me or not,

I will catch Manas's killer and put him in jail.

But if you go back now, you could get arrested by the police.

I won't run away from problems.

In the past, I believed that

even if you say nothing, not defending yourself,

the truth will come out one day.

But I realized it today

that if you didn't do anything wrong,

you have to prove what the truth is

to defend yourself.

Because if you do nothing,

that means you accept

that what everyone is saying is true.

I'm glad that you're fighting for yourself and defending yourself.

But about His Highness,

as long as he is still unconscious,

you wouldn't be able to clear your name.

So you shouldn't go back now.

Don't worry, Chok.

No matter what happens,

I'll stay by your side and support you.

Thank you, Ms. Wasee.

But I think

we need to find a place to hide first.

How can we be sure, Ms. Euang,

that Pim won't betray us

and tell Lord Pas that you poisoned His Highness?

Someone like Lord Pas,

if he knew I poisoned His Highness, he would have dealt with me last night.

She's gone.

Lord Pas.

I need to talk to you.

You went after Chok yesterday, how did it go?

Did you take care of him?

Chok got away.

Why did you let him get away?

Do you know what will happen if he comes back to the manor again?

You don't have to worry about that.

Chok wouldn't dare come back here again.

But there's one more thing that you might want to know.

What is it?

Yesterday, Chok and Than, a servant at Lady Pot's manor,

found out that Manas had been kidnapped,

so they went to rescue him.

Did Chok rescue Manas?

They couldn't save him.

Manas is dead.

Finally, Manas is dead.

You didn't hire Jerd to kill Manas, did you?

Why do you care?

Manas is dead now.

And the one who will benefit the most is you.

If you have nothing to do with it, it should be fine.

Because the police will catch Jerd soon.

They'll be able to track down the person who hired him.

I dealt with Manas.

I can deal with Jerd.

I'll kill him with my own hands.

Why did you have to talk to Lord Pas in secret?

We know each other well enough at this point.

There shouldn't be any secrets between us anymore.

Pim.

Don't think just because you know one of my secrets,

you can walk all over me.

My goodness.

Why are you talking like we're strangers?

Don't you see that I have kept my promise?

Lord Pas still doesn't know

that it was you who poisoned His Highness.

Good.

Don't be stupid enough to betray me.

Otherwise, neither you

nor Pas

will be spared.

The one who is stupid isn't me.

It's you.

She admitted to poisoning my father?

Yes.

But please don't do anything rash right now, sir.

It will only make things worse.

Do you expect me to let the person who poisoned my father

walk around like nothing happened?

The only thing we can prove right now

is that she poisoned His Highness.

We still can't prove that she pushed His Highness down the stairs.

If she's arrested for poisoning,

she'll find a way to get away with it.

But if we wait for His Highness to wake up and tell the truth,

she won't be able to get out of it.

It's best to do nothing for now.

And you have to pretend you don't know what I told you.

I want her to trust me.

So I can find out more about her secret.

And also your suspicion that

it was her who hired Jerd to kill Manas.

The two of us got out first, but Manas couldn't get out in time.

I see.

The shed has been inspected, sir.

A man's body was found completely burnt.

It can't be identified.

Hey!

Oh, gosh.

-Oh, gosh. -Hey!

Manas!

Come on.

No. Manas!

It's probably the body of Manas who was tied up.

Yes, sir.

What? So the body found in the shed is not Manas.

Quiet.

I don't want anyone to know that Manas is still alive.

What? Why?

So the people who tried to kill Manas will stop going after him.

But that also means

Chok misunderstood that his father has died.

Quiet.

That's right, but don't worry.

I'll find a way to let Chok know.

But right now, I'm worried about Manas.

He was badly hurt last night. I wonder how he's doing.

Oh, gosh.

Oh, gosh.

Oh, gosh.

Please forgive me, ma'am.

His Highness finally found Manas.

But he ended up being killed by some evil people.

It's because of his old habits.

He probably got drunk and got in a fight with some thug.

That's why he was killed.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

The truth will come out one day.

And evil people will be punished.

Why? Are you going to accuse me again?

Your Highness.

His Highness is awake.

Oh, my gosh, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Father.

Get the doctor, Yaem. Tell him Father is conscious.

Yes, sir.

Your Highness.

Please stay calm, ma'am.

His Highness is a good man.

Buddha will protect him and help him make a full recovery.

How do you know, Pim?

Are you a doctor?

How do you know if he's going to be all right or not?

If you don't care about Father,

don't take it out on the people who care about him.

Doctor.

Doctor.

How is His Highness?

I have examined him thoroughly.

His Highness is paralyzed.

He can't move or talk.

But he can still see and hear,

and he's aware of everything around him.

He just can't communicate with us.

Is there any way to cure my father?

It's very difficult.

It's practically impossible.

Gosh.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

Mother, please don't cry.

The doctor said Father is aware of everything.

Please don't make him worry.

Your Highness.

Don't worry, Your Highness.

I will find a way to help you make a full recovery.

Your Highness.

Your Highness.

You must get well soon, Your Highness.

Lord Pas.

You have to put Chok in jail.

Because he's the one who hurt His Highness.

Your Highness.

We should let the police deal with Chok.

Father just woke up. Let him rest.

Your Highness.

Oh, gosh.

Who's that? Hey, it's you, Long.

So your name isn't Khem.

Your name is Manas.

Why did that woman who came to get you

lie to you?

Her name is Euang.

And she didn't just lie to me.

But it's her

who sent people to kill me.

What? Kill you?

Why would she want to kill you?

I don't know yet.

But when I remember everything that happened,

I think I can figure out why

Ms. Euang wants me dead.

Oh, gosh.

That's enough for now, Manas.

I think you shouldn't overdo it.

Right now, you just focus on getting better first.

Okay.

Right.

When…

you moved last time,

you didn't take this box of drawings with you.

So I kept it for you.

Thank you.

Sure.

-By the way, -What?

if someone comes looking for me,

don't tell them I'm here.

Don't worry. I won't tell anyone.

It's me.

Su.

I came as soon as I got your call.

Come in.

I'm sorry to bother you.

But I can't think of anyone else.

Don't mention it. We're friends after all.

Here, these are my brother's clothes and mine.

So you can have something to change into.

Thank you so much.

By the way, have you figured out where to go?

I was going to take Ms. Wasee to Ayutthaya, my old house.

But come to think of it, the police would probably follow us there.

How about my mother's country house in Bang Pu?

If there's any news, I can keep you posted.

And here, take this money with you just in case.

Thank you so much, Su.

You really are my best friend.

Actually, I'm not that good of a friend.

I thought about betraying you over Pas.

Actually, I already knew about you and Pas.

At the time, I just thought that

if Pas chose you, I would be happy for you.

But it's impossible anyway.

Even without you,

Pas wouldn't look at me anyway.

I believe that one day,

you'll meet someone who appreciates you, Su.

I have to thank you, Ms. Su.

When this is over, I'll repay your kindness.

You don't have to repay me.

Just take good care of Wasee

the same way she loves you

and is willing to give up everything for you.

I promise.

I'll take care of Wasee with my life.

You don't have to worry.

My father knows a lot of police officers.

I'll ask him to help get Wasee back.

Thank you, Su.

Mark my word. I'll put Chok in jail.

Su.

Let me know as soon as you find out anything about Wasee.

Of course.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Oh, gosh. Be gentle, Than.

-Gosh, you're hurting me. Be gentle. -Jeez, Bua.

I'm being gentler to you than you were to me.

-Gosh, I can't... -Just a little more.

Hey, if both of you are done arguing, drink this medicine.

Here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Consider yourself lucky

that Lady Pot didn't flog you to death.

If Lady Pot didn't oppose their love,

Ms. Wasee wouldn't have had to run away with Chok.

I wonder how Chok and Ms. Wasee are doing.

Right.

Don't worry about those two. They're fine.

Ms. Su.

Ms. Su.

How do you know?

I'm the one who helped Wasee and Chok.

Thank you so much for helping Chok and Ms. Wasee.

You don't have to thank me.

Bua, Wasee asked me to tell you to keep an eye on Lady Potchanit.

Let me know if anything happens.

Yes, Ms. Su.

I'll take good care of Lady Potchanit.

And Chok asked that you help him find out about Manas and Jerd.

Yes, ma'am.

Well…

Ms. Su.

Please tell Chok that

Manas is still alive.

I'm going to look for him.

I'll keep you posted.

Okay.

Right now, we must be careful not to let anyone know where Wasee and Chok are.

We must wait for His Highness to wake up and tell everyone the truth.

Then Chok will be able to clear his name.

Yes, ma'am.

Ms. Su told me to take you two to stay at this house behind the garden.

Come on, let's go inside.

You two can sleep in this room.

I've already cleaned it up.

There are sarongs, and there's a mattress.

-Excuse me. -Yes?

Do you have another mattress?

Gosh, since you're husband and wife, you can share the mattress.

Or did you two have a fight?

No, we didn't.

My husband and I had a fight too.

Gosh, before long,

we ended up with five children.

Well, Ms. Wasee and I…

Thank you.

Let her think that way so she won't suspect us.

Okay.

Is there a bathroom here? I want to take a bath.

No, there's no bathroom.

If you want to take a bath, change out of your clothes here,

then take a bath in the water at the dock we just walked past.

Here's a sarong. Take a bath. I must go now.

How do I put this on?

Why didn't you do it as I showed you?

I'm looking at you in a sarong. You look so cute.

I know how to do it, like this, right?

That's right. Push it in there too.

Then,

you should go take a bath. I'll go with you to keep watch.

That's cute.

It's nice and cool to bathe in a canal.

When I was little, my mother used to take me to the canal to bathe me.

Whenever I went there, I would catch shrimps.

Really?

Are there any shrimps around here for you to catch?

Well, I don't know.

But if there are,

I'll catch them and grill them for you.

I'm sorry, Ms. Wasee.

You're in this difficult situation because of me.

What difficult situation?

When I was little,

Bua and I used to sneak out to jump into the water.

It was fun.

I know you're just saying that to make me feel better.

When His Highness wakes up,

I'll take you back right away.

Well, what if His Highness doesn't wake up?

I'll wait for two weeks.

If I don't hear from His Highness by then,

I'll go back and find out the truth myself.

But don't worry.

If you go back, I'll make sure you don't go to jail.

-Thank you, Ms. Wasee. -Chok.

Ms. Wasee.

Are you all right, Ms. Wasee?

I'm fine.

You will have to do physical therapy for His Highness every day

to prevent muscle atrophy.

Take care of everything else according to the instructions I gave you.

I understand.

I'll come by once every three days to check on His Highness.

But if you need anything, you can call me.

Thank you.

I'll drive the doctor back myself, Mother.

Please.

What do you need, sir?

What's wrong, Your Highness?

Don't worry, Your Highness.

I will find the best doctor to treat you.

You'll make a full recovery.

I'll bring a washcloth to wipe you down.

You stay here and keep watch for me.

Yes, ma'am.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Could it be

that you resent me

for pushing you down the stairs?

Hit me, sir.

Hit me, sir. Hit me.

You can't.

I forgot that

you are a cripple now.

To be honest, I actually

wanted you to die.

But come to think of it,

I'm glad you didn't die.

Don't die just yet. Stay alive for a long time.

Stay alive and watch the misfortune of every one of your loved ones.

Are you going to cry, sir?

Are you going to cry, sir? Are you going to cry for help, sir?

Cry out loud. Just cry out loud, sir.

Cry out loud.

You didn't know, did you, sir?

Manas is dead.

You're angry.

Oh, and the fact that Chok

is your son. No one will ever know.

Gosh.

While we're at it,

let me tell you now

that Manee died

because of me, sir.

It wasn't Manas.

Are you angry? Are you angry, sir?

Please don't get angry yet.

There are still many things you must know.

I think

I'll try to have Pas arrested for murder.

As for Kulab,

I will throw her out of the manor.

What do you think?

Are you angry? You're bleeding.

Are you angry, sir?

Scream some more, sir. Scream for help, sir.

Scream. Just scream.

I told you to scream. Just scream!

Scream for help. Just scream.

Lady Kulab,

are you here to wash His Highness, ma'am?

-Just scream! -Euang!

Why did you come into this room?

Your Highness, what did she do to you?

Euang.

What did you do to His Highness?

I just came to wish His Highness a speedy recovery.

Or if life is too hard,

then die quickly so that you won't be a burden to your children.

Watch your mouth.

You watch your mouth.

Ma'am.

Euang!

Yaem, come here!

Remember this.

I went easy on you before because His Highness was protecting you.

But from now on, I won't go easy on you anymore.

Don't get ahead of yourself.

Once I get the evidence,

I'll throw you out right away.

Go ahead! Do it!

Do you still think there's the evidence? Find it if you can!

Let me go!

What?

Your Highness.
