Original subtitles

When you see someone who looks precisely like you,

every part of his body resembles yours,

you must feel really strange.

But for me, it’s special.

I call that specialness ‘twins.’

You lost again, White.

One more round, Black.

You’re going to lose again.

Just give up.

I’m not. It was so close.

What’s my time, Todd?

2:20 minutes.

And Black’s?

2:17 minutes.

3 seconds only.

You lost no matter how close it was.

Beat Todd first and we’ll have a race again later.

Todd, let’s have a round.

Just one, all right?

Hey! Black.

Black.

Is he okay now?

Yes, he’s now conscious.

It’s okay.

How are you feeling? Better?

Breathe slowly.

Can you please look after them for a while?

Sure.

We need to talk.

Please.

I can’t stand seeing them like this anymore.

Tell me what your plan is.

When our parents split up,

they used this incident as an excuse to separate Black and me

and put us in different parts of the world.

Are they fighting again?

I haven’t felt our twin connection for so long,

since I decided to relocate to Russia with dad.

That connection faded away a long time ago.

Finished shower?

I know you don’t want to break up with me.

I don’t believe in long-distance relationships.

Are you ready for work?

No. I don’t even want to go back to Thailand.

And your father? Where is he now?

Ah…

He retired and went back to Thailand two years ago.

It isn’t going to be so hard.

Your dad has everything ready for you.

You will be a diplomat like him in a few years.

Hi, Dad.

Welcome home, White.

Why are you speaking Russian?

I don’t know whom I should speak Russian to if not you.

Do you want to go back to work?

Don’t tease me.

Take his luggage upstairs.

Let’s get inside.

White, it’s a ramp over there. Let’s go play.

Okay.

Don’t be afraid. Do it again.

Black, White, what are you two playing?

Who just hit my car?

It’s me, Black.

White, come on in.

I’m not sure if this weird feeling I’m having is because I’m back here again,

or because of the connection between Black and me.

Fill your stomach for now.

I’ll take you out for dinner later.

You seem hungry.

Drink up.

Do you know where Mom moved to?

Why would I care for someone who left us for someone else?

What about Black?

I have no idea where he is.

All I know is your mom took Black with her when we moved to Russia.

It was more than 10 years ago.

Stop thinking about them.

Just live your life.

And let them live theirs. It’s better this way, White.

Thank you for coming.

White, meet Mr. Vichian.

He works in The Department of International Organization.

White just graduated International Relations from Russia.

He completed an advanced test, which allowed him to graduate ahead of peers his age.

How’s the education there?

Is it the same as in Thailand?

I'm not really certain. I think it’s a bit different.

I made friends from all around the world when I was there.

They are both from Europe, Asia, and Russia.

They introduced me to diverse cultures and perspectives.

He will be just fine working in the department.

Mr. Vichian,

White is taking a test for a position in the Ministry next week.

Do you want some books to study?

I have a ton of questions from the previous tests.

The first round will consist of a general knowledge test.

We shouldn't be concerned about your foreign affairs knowledge.

But are you aware of the situation in Thailand?

White is smart.

He never stays behind.

He always keeps up with the news in Thailand.

We have nothing to worry about.

Is that so?

You are great and have a bright future ahead of you, just like your father.

Thank you.

White, these two right here were my trainees back then.

I can put my mind at ease if you get to work with them.

Please help advise my son.

Follow him!

Thank you.

Hey, stop!

White!

White, are you all right?

The result reveals nothing out of the ordinary.

Perhaps he is unfamiliar with the weather?

He'd recently returned from Russia.

I don’t think that’s the case.

Anyway, we'll get another medical checkup tomorrow.

How are you feeling, White?

It’s better now.

It’s quite weird.

I just couldn’t breathe normally all of a sudden.

Let’s stay here one more night to get closely checked.

Sure.

Hello, White.

Hello.

Todd?

Yes, it’s me.

Still remember me?

I do.

I have news about Black to tell you.

Black is dying.

What happened to him? Who hurt him?

If you still want to see him,

come meet me at the hospital.

I’ll share with you the location.

White.

Let’s visit him in ICU.

Really?

Is it that bad?

I don’t know.

He called and said he was being hunted down.

Hunted down?

What did he do?

Didn’t you guys talk at all?

No.

What happened to him?

After you moved to Russia,

Black and I have always gone to the same school.

In university, he’s been dropping out and re-enrolling in classes.

He's always argued with his mom, so I asked him to stay with me.

But lately, he’s had a new group of friends to hang out with.

They seem savage.

So I warned him not to trust them so much.

He just wouldn’t listen.

I don’t know if my theory is right

but I think they’re the reason why Black ended up like this.

He once told me if something happened to him,

I must give you this handkerchief.

And you’d know what he wanted.

White.

Take it back.

Did you start a fight with them?

I didn’t start.

They took your money, didn’t they?

I just took this wallet back for you.

Don't let anyone take advantage of you.

If you don’t fight, you’ll never win.

Promise me you will fight.

Say it, White.

Promise me.

Give me your word.

I promise.

From now on,

if anybody picks on me, I will fight back.

I won’t let anyone take advantage of me again.

And if anyone hurts you,

I’ll not let them walk free either.

I will take your place in the gang

and find those who hurt you.

Time alters our bodies.

What he went through,

his journey was completely different than mine.

We used to look exactly alike.

Today, he’s quite different.

Seeing his body this time makes me sad.

He’s been through a lot.

I have no idea how painful he felt.

Hi, Black.

Come on.

Did Black live here alone?

Yes. I don’t think he’s dating anyone.

B.

G.

You should wear his clothes.

Wearing new clothes might get people suspicious.

I think I need new boxers.

Wear them, all right.

They won’t give you a rash.

You guys are twins. I guess you two wear the same size.

Same size, my foot!

Are you shy?

I was just teasing.

Wearing his clothes helps you disguise yourself better.

Who would even notice my underwear?

See? You’re wearing brand-name panties.

People can tell you’re not Black.

If you get caught, you’re over.

Are you exaggerating?

No.

Face ID.

Look at this.

This is Gram, your faculty friend.

Black is still a university student?

Yes.

I dropped out for a year after having a fight with his mom.

This is Yok, The Faculty Fine and Applied Arts.

This is Sean, The Faculty of Political Science.

They are very dangerous.

You must look after yourself.

I think they’re involved with some illegal business.

Do you think Black was really involved with an illegal business?

Are you scared?

If you are, you have a chance to back off now.

No.

I will track down those who injured Black

and put them all behind bars.

[Special Alumni Talk] [Tawi Kuerkulsvasti, Thailand's most successful businessman.]

(Tawi Kuerkulsvasti, a businessman who’s continually been in the headlines since I lived in Russia.)

(Tawi is a supporter of a political party that inherited dictatorship.)

(He has the ability to strike economic bargains and run the country.)

(He’s become the first tycoon on people’s boycott list.)

You’re early today.

You’ve been gone for days. Where were you?

Gram.

I got up early. That’s why I came early.

Should we join and cause him some trouble?

Make him afraid to show up at any other event.

Cause him trouble?

Like you said.

This asshole enjoys taking advantage of others.

He will pay someday.

You’re wearing perfume now?

Do you want to eat first or go straight to class?

Hey, your skin looks better.

You styled your hair too, huh?

I didn’t.

Come on. I’m not complaining.

I’d always wanted you to do it but you never did.

Ah! I know it.

You were missing because you met a girl, didn’t you?

No girl.

Let’s get to class.

Where’s the class anyway?

Want to know where?

Catch up with me.

Gram, Black.

(Who’s she now?)

I thought we were late, but the professor is even later.

She was here but she left.

We’re supposed to study Rule of Law and Rule by Law.

Then we’ll take a quiz.

So, there’s a quiz today?

This class always comes with a quiz. Why do you sound surprised?

Look at you. Did you forget?

Fine, I’ll help you study.

What’s the difference between Rule of Law and Rule by Law?

Tell me.

What’s the difference between Rule of Law and Rule by Law?

What are the words in Thai?

To use the rule of law and to be ruled by law?

Almost got it.

Rule of Law means all laws apply equally or we call it ‘Nititham’ in Thai.

And the countries where rule of law applies are called ‘Nitirat.’

Legal states.

Right you are. It got stuck on the tip of my tongue.

You’re normally an expert on this stuff.

Were you trying to test Gram?

No. I just forgot the Thai words.

Fine. Let me start over.

Rule of Law is the highest and the most sacred law.

The whole state is subject to the law.

Everyone is equal under the same law.

Now, do you think Thailand is led by ‘rule of law?’

Of course.

Are you trying to drive me nuts, Black?

Thailand is obviously under ‘rule by law.’

Citizens are governed by law.

Governing authorities make and enforce laws to benefit themselves.

They interpret the laws to persecute people who oppose them.

This is called a double standard.

You’re wrong

Thai laws are obliged by statutory interpretation.

You might disagree with the court’s verdict,

but you can’t assume it's not in the best interests of most people.

You’re a law student, you must provide statutory references.

We need to debate it case by case. That’s the right thing to do.

Then for this quiz,

I’ll mention Tawi’s forest trespassing property.

It's the most obvious case.

Tawi was able to purchase a national forest to build a residence.

However, native people who had previously resided there were evicted.

It exemplifies the concept of ‘rule by law.’

The same legislation was applied differently.

Villagers had no power and voices.

They were evicted even if they could provide proof that they’d lived there for generations.

Hey, I get you.

But you need to consider the fact that Tawi had land ownership paperwork.

The locals, however, did not.

If you use this case, you will not receive a score.

I'm afraid I won't be able to help you.

Was there such a case like that?

Stop pretending.

I know you’re trying to fool me.

You’re kidding me, aren’t you?

The professor is here.

Are we all ready?

Let’s go through it again before the quiz.

Please take a look over here.

Now try to memorize the slides.

And you have memorized it all, right?

Let’s start the quiz now.

Huh?

Where is everyone?

Why are you asking about them?

Can’t I ask?

You don’t usually ask for anyone.

You’re acting weird today

I just have something to talk to them about.

Are you guys fighting again?

We’re going to the garage anyway. Let’s meet them there.

Why are you just standing there?

Where is your ride?

What ride?

Your motorbike.

What’s up with you today?

The engine died. I left it at home.

Hey! But you must have a ride today.

Did you forget?

I couldn’t get it started. What do you want me to do?

Where have you been exactly?

I got some personal stuff to deal with.

Why do you want to know?

Fine.

I won’t butt in.

I just know your ride is quite a big deal for you.

It’s surprising it broke down today.

Ride with me for now.

Here.

Whose helmet is that?

Just take it. We can return it later.

Black,

you keep surprising me today.

Why?

Nothing. This is good.

I like this version of you.

Shit!

Hey, Yok.

Why are you guys so early?

I need to bring the motorbike for you to wrap.

We must get it done by tonight.

I’m on it.

I’ll go get my stuff.

Just make it quick.

Hi, Yok.

(What the heck? Why is he not talking to me?)

You’re doing a nice job there.

Are you giving me a compliment?

I was being sarcastic.

Do you really think it’s nice?

I don’t think so.

It’s just a motorbike wrap.

How pretty do you want? Why don’t you just do it yourself?

What are you doing?

I’m using the bathroom

Don’t lie.

Why are you sneaking into my room?

I…

What’s got into you today?

Sean, the fuel is leaking.

Come down and take a look.

How did it happen?

(That guy doesn’t seem to like Black very much)

(Why would he want to punch a friend?)

What are you staring at?

I am not staring.

You obviously are.

I just want to check if you’re fixing it up nicely.

And you care about my ride because?

You didn’t bring your own vehicle.

What a burden.

Bring me the engine oil.

Which one is it?

Here.

You did that on purpose, didn’t you?

I didn’t. I didn’t see it.

You know I’m changing the oil.

The tray can’t be anywhere other than here.

I honestly didn’t see it. I didn’t mean to.

Come here.

No? Hey!

No!

No! Let go.

You deserved that.

I won’t get messed up alone.

Stop.

Don’t.

Where are you going?

Don’t come any closer

Stop!

I said stop!!

Too late to run.

Gotcha!

You can’t run.

Let go of me.

What the hell are you two playing?

(Who is this guy now?)

You just messed up the floor, you assholes.

Do you have any idea how difficult to clean off the oil?

I’m sorry

Black freaking bugged me.

Clean yourself up.

We need to discuss something tonight.

(Tonight?)

(What the hell is happening tonight?)

Hurry.

Do it in the car wash area.

Don’t use my bathroom. You’ll mess it up too.

All right.

You go too.

It won’t come off.

Soap won’t do the work.

What should I use then?

Laundry detergent.

What are you doing?

Ouch!

Since when you’re such a baby?

Hurry up.

I need to fix the motorbike.

We must be on time tonight.

Just go then

I can wash myself.

I need to wash myself too, you know?

You use that one.

I’ll use this one.

How’s the wrapping, Yok?

Completely done.

Can we have new plates?

Take your pick.

1 Jan?

What’s this, New Year Party?

Should we throw a party now?

I’ll take this one. It’s so fake.

(What are they even doing?)

Sean, are you coming?

Guys, gather here when you finish.

Here. The new masks I designed.

It’s quite unique.

In a good or bad way?

Unique means good to me.

But for Black, it means bad.

In his freaking opinion, nothing is good.

You guys talk about him like he isn’t here.

He finally showed up, Black.

I’m just being myself. What’s wrong with that?

Are you ready?

I am. I always am.

Okay.

I’ll walk you through our plan again.

Yok, when we get to the abandoned gas station,

take with you the hidden gasoline as much as you can.

Gram, you’re on watch.

Make sure no one is in the house.

Sean, you take charge of the anesthetic.

When things go wrong, know that you can use force only when you need to.

Black,

when you get there, you must be the one taking care of everything.

Do you get what I’m saying?

Okay.

Is everything clear to you all?

Good luck. Be safe.

Are you truly up for it?

You come with me.

Grab your helmet.

Let’s go

Let’s burn down Tawi’s house.

Directed by Anucha Boonyawatana

Black.

What are you doing?

Do you want us all to die here?

I think it should be a better way.

Damn you, Gram!

You said no one was in the house.

Stay focused.

Hey!

Hey.

I quit.
