Original subtitles

Your heart may belong to Luang,

but Captain Jon will own your body.

I won't have just your heart.

Your body will be mine too.

I may not have the right to be with you now, but I will have it.

You heard my secret.

I can't let you breathe any longer!

Promise me

you won't let Lamjeak die for nothing.

Arrest all of them!

What are you arresting us for?

For the murder of a courtesan

and Sarang.

You used me as a tool

to spread rumors of European invasion.

It is proven that you and your subordinate

are both guilty.

This is punishable by seizure of wealth

- and death! - Execution?

But Tis' trial

is not over, ma'am.

I'm willing to be taken in custody, sir.

There is but one request.

My aunt was arrested as an accomplice in Boonta's attempted murder?

Chaai is taking your aunt

to the police jail.

He asked me to inform you.

Chaai did such a thing.

How can our families remain friends?

I have to stop him.

Mother.

Don't make Chaai any more uncomfortable than he already is.

I know what kind of a man he is.

If he has to spare a criminal

just because they're an acquaintance,

Chaai and I

will never be the same for the rest of our lives.

In the past,

I used to think a woman's jealousy was toxic.

Now, I realize

it's nothing compared to the greed

and ambitions of a man!

Am I wrong

for having such ambitions

when those evil elites have always oppressed me?

Am I wrong

for wanting to stand above them

and take my deserved revenge?

When I'm useful, they all run to me.

Now that I'm useless, they just kicked me out!

I worked hard

to serve them with everything I had,

and this is what I got!

It's because of your greed and lust!

How can you blame me alone?

You yourself

have brought nothing but shame to our family too!

Otherwise,

we wouldn't have ended up together here!

I ended up here because of you.

Had you not wanted Boonta as a wife,

had you loved me

and our child more than you do,

this wouldn't have been the end of you!

However,

I never regret

marrying you, my dear.

Ouch!

Before Magnate Thong was executed,

Come confessed everything.

Magnate Thong was behind all the misfortune,

including the report to arrest Bua

for selling sugar to the Europeans.

That was him too?

Come said Magnate Thong had been eyeing you for a good while.

He even asked Gaysorn

to ask for your mother's blessing.

When your mother refused,

he set her up.

So that's why his wife was so mad she ordered a hit on me.

Tis also confessed.

That day, he had an opportunity to strike

when you ran out of Fang's.

No...

There was a solar eclipse that day too, right?

I was worried about your life.

I didn't notice.

(The day Boonta and I both drowned, )

(there was a solar eclipse.)

Cops!

That day, you probably wanted to tell me you didn't want to die that way.

(You needed someone to reveal the truth and acquit you.)

(I get it now, Boonta.)

Do you think I'm Wonder Woman or something?

You made me a prostitute.

What power would I possibly have to help you?

Why are you looking at my hand?

Why don't you look at my face?

Your hands

are just as important as your face.

I got to this point because of these hands.

Whenever I'm in trouble,

these hands have always been there to help me.

Without these hands,

I don't know how I would have survived in this world.

Now that my trouble is over,

I hope there is no more problem to deal with.

We can finally be "happy."

"Haeb-pee?"

It's "happy," sir.

It's the European language. It means "delightful."

It seems you're speaking their language

more fluently than Thai now.

Are you changing your mind?

Are you marrying a European man, perhaps?

Hey, Chaai!

With that mouth of yours, you deserve some punishment.

What's my punishment, huh?

Too slow.

I warned you!

Yet you made out with him

and let Captain Jon catch you?

I'm sorry, Mother.

We can't stop the feelings, right?

You can have your feelings, but keep it inside!

I told you that no matter what,

you will end up with Captain Jon.

What if Captain Jon and Chaai came to an agreement?

Will you allow it, then?

(Episode 20: My Dear... You Need to Become A Husband Now)

I'm sorry.

Sorry?

Sorry for seeing my girl?

I'm sorry I didn't make enough of an effort.

Had I made more effort,

Boonta wouldn't have been in someone else's hands.

I love Boonta.

I've loved her since we first met.

That has never changed.

Yet you let her slip through your fingers.

"A river has no return."

Water doesn't flow back.

Neither does the past.

But sometimes,

life is like wind

and not water.

It can always blow away and come back.

A ship can sail thanks to the wind.

Life can go on

thanks to the heart.

A life without a heart

is like a ship without the wind.

It will never reach the shore.

Do you agree with what I said?

Mother asked you

and Captain Jon to discuss this in the guest room upstairs, sirs.

Twenty chang.

Is this enough to change your mind?

No matter how much,

I can't break the promise I made to Captain Jon, sir.

Unless

Captain Jon himself

willingly gives you the right to Boonta, sir.

I'm sorry, Mr. Johnson.

"I am sorry."

"Really sorry." I truly am.

I know I owe you.

If you hadn't paid the deposit for me that day,

I wouldn't have got to live a happy life.

But I can't repay your kindness for the rest of my life

because I have given all my heart

to Chaai already, sir.

If anyone is wrong, it's me alone.

Please forgive me, sir.

And...

Please let me go.

"Please."

Chaai, what are you doing?

You can't do this.

Why can't I?

Captain Jon

is someone I owe a lot to.

Had Captain Jon

not paid the deposit for you that day,

my heart would have already been broken.

Luang.

You swallowed your pride

just for a woman.

Is that right?

Pride

and honor

without happiness

is nothing to me.

Even if it costs everything I have,

I will never lose Boonta again.

I'll allow it this one time.

I'll leave Boonta in your care.

If one day,

you hurt Boonta,

physically or mentally,

I'll take her back immediately!

Don't worry, Captain.

I'll cherish Boonta.

That day will never come.

This money,

you can have it back, sir.

I also love Boonta

like a real daughter.

How can a mother sell her own daughter for money?

Your charm works until the very end, indeed.

I'm glad you can leave my brothel now,

so you can never annoy me again.

Well, Mother.

You can speak your mind.

Listen.

Did you really think this through?

In his house,

you can only be a slave wife.

Your mother-in-law

will eventually find an elite woman

as his main wife.

Now he loves you. Everything is good.

If one day he changes,

you're the one who will suffer a great deal.

Mother.

We don't know what lies ahead.

We don't know how much longer we can keep breathing.

If that day really comes,

all I need is to make the most of the days we have together.

That's enough for me.

So, you can keep this contract.

You're a free woman now, Boonta.

Thank you, Mother.

Thank you.

Hey!

Good luck, girl.

I saw your sash was torn.

I'm here to give you a new one.

Could you stay still for a moment?

I'll help you tie your hair.

Thank you, sir.

That poem was written for me, wasn't it?

I was missing you,

and this verse just popped up in my head.

This is for you. I missed you too.

I may not know where your home is.

But here,

I'll be your home.

I told my mother about us.

Your mother disapproves, does she?

I'll try harder.

I want her to approve.

I'll marry you into our household.

I know I've made you sad,

but I would like you to trust me.

I now leave Boonta in your care, sir.

When you live together,

don't make a big issue out of trivial things.

I wish you good luck, Boonta.

You love him

but don't forget to love and take care of yourself.

If one day,

you're in trouble or you're sad and have nowhere to go,

come back here.

Think of this place as your own home.

Yes, Mother.

Thank you, Mother.

Behave well.

I will. I'll be visiting you really often.

"Bye-bye."

"Bye-bye."

- Boonta, come hang out sometimes. - I will.

(This place used to feel like hell for me.)

(But now, )

(it's the warmest home I've ever had.)

(It's the home that no matter where I go, )

(when I turn back, )

(I have my family waiting for me.)

(In life, we all go through departures.)

(Farewells lead to new encounters.)

(I don't know what's waiting for me in my new home.)

(All I know is)

(I have to face the mom, the mother, the big lady of the house!)

(Welcome to your new hell, Jeed.)

Chaai! How dare you bring her to step foot in here?

I told you

Dokgaew is the only woman who can be your main wife!

Anyone else

can be a mistress or a slave wife!

Chaai gave me this ring a while ago.

I'm afraid the mistress is

the one that comes after.

Do you dare argue with me?

I'm in charge of this house!

If I disapprove, none of you

can ever live in this house!

Mother.

Boonta is not a stranger.

She is the one Chaai loves.

She is like family to us, Mother.

I'll never consider her family!

Mother.

One day, when she shows her old habits

and has an affair with another man,

we're going to be embarrassed all over town!

And yet you're still taking this vile woman in

as a wife of yourself?

Boonta is not the terrible kind of woman.

Terrible?

If you really want to be with her,

you can!

But to me, she

is the one who packs things up and runs away to you

like worthless women do!

I was worthless as a courtesan.

And I'm still worthless as a wife?

What's a woman's worth, after all?

Boonta is worth more than anything to me.

If you don't let her live in this house,

I will live with Boonta in the small house by the river.

Up to you then.

Even if I die,

I'll never let her live here

to taint our house!

Mother!

Are you awake?

My name is Chaai.

You ran away and collapsed last night.

Do you remember?

So you saved me and brought me here?

I never thought

that I would be back here.

I'm sorry I caused you trouble.

This place might be small.

Can you live in this?

Why can't I, my dear?

You're my home.

This home is the home of my heart.

I can stay anywhere.

You can stay if you like, but I can't!

Hey!

Mother.

Please think of Chaai's happiness.

How can I accept such an unworthy woman?

Chaai must be sure that he really loves Boonta.

These are two people who are genuinely in love.

Please don't interfere anymore, Mother.

Love alone doesn't make a marriage last.

People who are incompatible

always ruin their marriages.

Ever since Chaai started seeing Boonta,

I have noticed that they both have faith in the same thing.

They are equal in morality

and equal in kindness.

Their intelligence supports that of one another.

If by compatible,

you don't mean they have the same status,

Chaai and Boonta

are not incompatible by any means.

Even if I die,

I'll never approve of Boonta as my daughter-in-law.

I let Chaai take him in.

Chaai has to follow my conditions too.

Brows, eyes, and lips are spot on.

I have applied Pudsorn's foreign flower water.

I skipped the pit smoke.

It should be fine.

You don't have to put anything on.

I'm already obsessed with you.

Dear...

I'm tired.

Let me go to bed.

You're tired,

but I'm not.

If you're not, you can

find something to do.

I'm so close to you.

I can't possibly do anything else.

So what do you want to do?

You have cured my uneasiness.

Are you sure that's a good idea?

You're going to feel even more uneasy.

Even if I feel uneasy all night, I'll take it.

I love you, Boonta.

Why didn't you wake me up?

I didn't want to bother you, Chaai.

It's "my dear Chaai."

We're not undercover like we were in the Vietnamese village.

Yeah, my dear Chaai.

I'm happy I can spend my life with you.

Even if we're not traditionally married yet,

I'll make it happen.

I'll respect and honor you.

You will be my one and only beloved wife.

I promise.

Chaai moved her in?

Do you still expect Dokgaew to be cucked by that Sampheng woman?

Pikul, don't say that.

No matter what, Dokgaew will be the main wife,

as we agreed upon with our families.

What will you do then?

She's moved in.

I don't think she would move out easily.

That's why I would like Dokgaew

to claim what's rightfully hers.

If she's bold enough to stay, then so be it.

Is that right, Dokgaew?

Dokgaew.

Why don't you get dressed?

Don't worry about it too much.

You have Aunt Tubtim's support.

Soon,

Boonta will leave the house.

Do I really have to marry Chaai?

Why did you ask that question?

You're a woman. You have to get married at the right age.

I served in the palace during my teen years.

Once I left,

I married your father.

Then, you were born and became my heart and soul.

I've chosen what's best for you.

You will be happy like I once was.

Trust me.

Don't you think you should

ask me?

Who

I like and love.

Do you like someone else that's not Chaai?

Who is it?

Well...

I don't, Mother.

Then just do as I say.

Of all the men in the capital,

who could possibly be better than Chaai?

I'm sorry.

I didn't say hello to you yesterday.

The house went boom before I had the chance.

I mean, we got bombed.

I like your comparisons.

I have to apologize on my mother's behalf.

She has her bias against you.

However,

we welcome you here.

It's good you're here. Pad will have a friend to talk to.

I'll teach you our household chores.

You're going to win Mother over.

Please trust Pad.

She did it once.

If you're bored, you can teach me to sing

that "pop, pop, chick, chick" song of yours.

You can also help me with accounting.

You can do accounting?

A little, sir.

Then that's great.

I can rest easy now that Chang has some help.

Chim, Pad,

and Chang all wanted Boonta.

Perhaps

you're going to sleep alone, Chaai.

You won't be sleeping alone for long.

Take care of Chaai.

Get used to it.

That's the job for Boonta,

my wife, Mother.

I'm hungry.

Let's eat.

We have Shrimp Koi today?

Dokgaew made it for us.

Her Shrimp Koi looks delicious.

Her chili paste smells good too.

That doesn't look like Laab Koi

and Soi Chu that Boom had on set.

Laab Koi?

And Soi Chu?

I've never heard of them.

It's probably your unusual food.

Just like

your grilled meat, Ko...

Koleen style, right?

Korean, sir.

Korean.

The name of the dish sounds simple, but if you try it,

it's nice and spicy!

Simple commoner foods are no match for a palace dish.

To each their own.

It's not like we all prefer the same things, Mother.

If that's the case, why don't you try my cooking?

Shrimp Koi looks like it's sweet.

If nobody's going to try it...

If nobody's going to try it,

I'll be the first.

Bussin!

It tastes so good your mouth lights up!

What language are you speaking?

Your words are giving me a headache.

Mother.

It means really, really delicious.

You're such a great cook.

You should be featured in the Michelin Guide.

Try it, dear.

How is it?

Right?

Bussin?

That's right, my dear.

- Let's eat. - Okay.

Dokgaew sure knows what Chaai likes.

Shrimp on sticky rice is Chaai's favorite too.

Here.

Shrimp on sticky rice, your favorite.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Let me have it, then.

It's good!

If you swap the shrimp with some mango,

that'd be so lit!

Your manners are such a rude embarrassment!

People are going to say Chaai made a wife out of a homeless person.

You're no match for Dokgaew.

Her manners are gentle and lovely,

as expected of a Lady.

Mother.

What people will say that?

All of us here

are brothers and sisters

and familiar faces.

You're just brothers and sisters for now.

Soon, you will share her chamber.

Don't forget your promise to me.

I just remembered that I have work.

I have to go.

Puek, are you full already?

I just remembered my mother asked me to buy some clothes.

I have to go too.

The guests have left.

Let me take my wife back to her house then.

Not yet.

You can't just be sitting around doing nothing.

If you want to be here, you need to work.

Of course, Mother.

What you want me to do,

you can tell me.

Because my motto is

you won't be poor if you don't refuse a job.

Fine.

Wait, Luang.

Why are you following me?

Why don't you go take care of your husband-to-be?

So you mean

you're jealous?

Do I have the right to be?

You know Chaai moved Boonta in already.

Yet you still allow yourself to be arranged with him?

I asked you once.

I think you know the answer now.

You don't like me.

Luang.

You're doing this...

What does it mean?

I know I shouldn't,

but I can't stop my feelings

for you

from developing.

What do you mean?

I probably ate too much.

That's why I spoke without making sense.

Just forget it.

Forget?

Who can forget that?

You can't stop my feelings for me?

Does that mean

you love me?

What did you say? Where are you going?

Come back and say that again.

She ran away from her fiancé for him?

You shouldn't do that, my Young Miss!

Why did you come home so early?

Did Aunt Tubtim's plan not work?

It did, Mother.

It did better than you expected.

I've had a long day. Let me go get some rest, Mother.

Right.

I'm relieved to hear that.

My Dokgaew

is finally going to settle down.

She's going to settle down all right,

but the question is, "with whom?"

Ground more chilies?

I've grounded three mortars full.

If I do more,

I'm going to win the Olympics in grounding chilies.

Mother...

No, Mrs. Tubtim.

You have a lot of staff. Why don't you let them do that?

We all have work to do.

Nobody is going to serve a vile woman like you.

Kerd!

Are you giving up already?

You Sampheng woman.

All you've done is easy work in bed.

That's how she got lazy, ma'am.

Hey, Aunt.

How did you know it was easy?

Were you a courtesan?

Hey, you!

Kerd.

Mother asked you to make various chili paste

because Chaai likes it.

She's asking you to ground more chilies

to make roasted sour chili paste with wild boar meat and zalacca.

Chaai loves that dish.

These are all Chaai's favorite?

The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

If you're only good in bed,

you won't last long with one.

Master Tubtim!

This is bad!

People all over the market are talking about Young Miss Dokgaew!

What? Dokgaew? Pikul's daughter?

She was sneaking and being indecent with another man?

They said they even saw her at the dock

of Luang Thukkarat's house!

Luang and Dokgaew are getting married.

That man could have been him.

No, he wasn't.

That man looked like him, but he was not Luang Thukkarat.

Did they say...

Did they say

engaging in such gossip

would get you killed?

Luang.

These rumors are nonsense.

Just pay them no mind, sir.

I don't care what the people say.

But what would Dokgaew feel?

These rumors spread fast. I wonder how she is doing.

Tell me, Dokgaew!

Who was the man who did indecent things to you?

I can't, Mother.

Are you too afraid?

So that means that man doesn't deserve you!

You have to marry Chaai.

The one who should be held responsible

is that man.

Chaai!

Are you going to let her live in shame?

You kept stalling until something bad happened.

This is partly your fault too.

I have a wife.

There are plenty of good men.

Dokgaew will certainly meet a good partner, Mother.

Who's going to be better for Dokgaew than you?

You're her equal in nobility and wealth.

Your and her marriage would only elevate one another.

She's not like someone who reaches out of her league.

All she'd do is drag you down.

But I don't love Dokgaew.

Pikul and I agreed on this.

If you want to cut ties with me,

so be it!

See? Because of you,

my house is on fire!

If you truly love Chaai,

you should think about it.

Will you remain bold and selfish?

Or will you make the sacrifice for Chaai's sake?

Dear.

You should do as your mother said.

Why are you pushing me away to someone else?

Don't you love me anymore?

No, my dear.

I will always love you.

Do you know why?

Because I'm confident in our love,

and I'm confident in my eyes.

Dear, do you see Luang Vasuthep's and Dokgaew's eyes for each other?

They may be arguing,

but their eyes...

I think there's something more between them.

You also think Puek and Dokgaew

have feelings for one another?

Actually, I'm not so sure.

If you want to be sure,

we have to play along with their games.

You have to make Luang Vasuthep

admit his feelings.

I'll do the same with Dokgaew.

You usually don't care much about what you wear.

It's the big day. I should dress well, right?

You said you love Boonta so much.

After all, you're happy to marry Dokgaew, right?

What about it that upsets you?

I just

didn't think you would agree to marry Dokgaew so easily,

as you're usually stubborn and never give in.

Even if it's Aunt Tubtim,

you wouldn't let her have her ways.

Luang Vasuthep sure knows you well, sir.

But he doesn't know his own heart.

What are you whispering about, Yod?

I'm just saying

this piece of cloth is gorgeous.

It would suit my Luang well, sir.

Don't waste your time picking one.

Even if you show up wearing a loincloth,

Dokgaew would still love you.

Not only do you know me well, Puek,

but you also know Dokgaew well, even more so than I do.

Your effort when I asked you to keep her company was well worth it.

Why are you acting so sneaky here?

Pudsorn, Nual, Chor?

What are you doing here?

We're here to buy groceries.

Without you, that job falls to us.

Hey, you asked to tag along,

hoping to see Captain Jon.

Don't blame it on Boonta.

So why are you here alone?

Where is your husband?

Did his mother kick you out already?

Easy now. Don't jinx me yet.

I'm just waiting for Dokgaew.

What do you want with that woman?

Your mother-in-law is cruel.

She knows Luang loves you, but she won't give up.

Dokgaew too. She caused chaos for everyone.

I wish I could slap them both and teach them a lesson.

I can't believe your Luang, either.

You just moved in.

He shouldn't have given in so easily.

Then, I'll slap him too!

I won't spare him just because he's Boonta's husband.

You're amazing.

Are you a slapper?

You don't care who it is, then?

So why are you still calm, Boonta?

Will you lose your husband to her?

If I were calm, I wouldn't be waiting for her here.

It's just that I know we're courtesans.

We're not someone they would approve of.

I also understand his mother.

She doesn't want one of us to be publicly known as family.

And I get it.

Chaai's hands are being forced.

The only one I don't understand...

There is only one.

Who?

It's the elite girl, Dokgaew.

Every single time!

Speak of the devil. There she is!

Her face gives me the urge to slap!

Now that I found her...

Come on.

Would you help me with something?

It's really hot tonight. Don't you think?

I think it's...

You're being even hotter than the weather.

Who can resist you like this?

I think we should have a child.

When I go out of town on a mission, you can hold our child in my stead.

Would you like a son or a daughter?

No matter what,

I can't accept that kind of woman as a daughter-in-law!

Tell me honestly.

Are you really going to marry Chaai when you love Luang Vasuthep?

They say this household has some beautiful vegetables.

We would like a seed to grow some of our own.

Let's not worry about it.

It's already happening.
