They’re awake now, Boss.

Doy.

Shit. What the hell is going on, Mote?

Why did they capture us?

How could I know?

But they aren’t policemen for sure.

How long are you two going to whisper?

I’ll let you guess how much we have lost because of you cheating our gambling website out of money.

If you, small-eyed dude,

and you, four-eyed dude,

guess it correctly, you will be given a reward.

But if you get the wrong answer,

you will be punished.

Sounds great?

Hey.

Hey, I’m only good at using computers.

I'm bad at Mathematics.

Mote.

Mote!

Damn it! Why are you sleeping now?

Is this the right time to sleep, huh?

Help me, Mote!

Three million baht.

You’re not bad at this, small-eyed dude.

Doy.

Yes, Boss?

Shit. What should we do now?

I don’t know.

Yes.

Yes, Boss.

My boss said

we have lost 10 million.

Ten million?!

Right.

That’s our loss plus the cost of our dignity.

You two want shortcuts to get rich,

so you stepped on our toes.

What now?

When can you pay us?

Auntie.

Mote?

Auntie, I’m sorry.

I have something to plead with you.

I haven’t seen you for a month already.

Come back here first, and we can talk about that then.

Auntie,

Doy and I have been kidnapped for ransom.

What?

(I’m serious.)

(We have been kidnapped for ransom.)

Auntie, it’s not ransom kidnapping.

Your grandson stole our money.

Please.

I’m begging you.

My grandson is a good person.

Please forgive him.

A good person mustn’t have stolen someone else’s money.

How much do you want?

Ten million.

I don’t have enough.

If you don’t,

then be ready to say goodbye to your grandson.

Wait!

Take my hotel then.

Take it.

Auntie!

A hotel?

I’ll hang up for now.

Mote!

Sure.

My boss has mercy on you.

She will take your aunt’s hotel as a guarantee,

but you must find us 10 million baht within 6 months.

If you fail,

your aunt’s hotel and land will become my boss’s property.

Got it?

Go ahead.

(Hello. My name is Mote.)

(I’m the grandson of this soon-to-go-bankrupt hotel owner.)

(Many are curious about what happened.)

(Well, this is how the story went.)

(This is Doy, my very best friend.)

(He is the master of computer programming.)

(To put it simply, he’s a Thai version of Mark Zuckerberg.)

[New Members Earn Free Bonus.] [Online Baccarat] [Online Slot] [Online Poker] [Online Roulette]

(Doy and I found out that)

(this gambling website has been cheating players out of their money.)

Take them down.

(We then planned to hack their website to get the money back.)

Who are you?

(It turned out we ended up hugging this 10-million-baht debt.)

(Anyway, to repay Auntie Nath for saving Doy and me,)

(to earn money to pay off my debt.)

(But can working like this earn me enough to do so?)

[How to get rich]

[A good investment is investing for yourself.]

[The worst risk is that you never risk investing in anything.]

Don’t be curious.

These numbers popping up are only visible in my head.

I name them “value of life.”

I believe we all have been born with value of life.

Though we keep proclaiming that all humans are equally valued,

for the world I’m living in now,

our value of life can never be equal.

So, for a person who was born rather poor like me,

if I don’t rely on a shortcut,

there’s no way I can get my financial position improved.

That’s why I love all kinds of betting.

I only need one opportunity. [Peerapat Pattanawat]

No matter what the job is and how risky it is, [Mote: What do I have to do if I’m interested in investing?]

I’m ready to bet.

[Automatic reply] [It’s currently outside of our working hours.] [Please contact us again on Mon-Fri from 11.00 AM- 4 PM.]

This restaurant is newly opened.

I saw tons of people queue for it.

At first, I was thinking about buying from another restaurant instead.

That’s why I asked you to go there and wait for it.

Eat now while it’s still hot.

Hey, after you pay off your debt,

do you want to continue running our hotel?

(Auntie, my debt alone already makes me worried sick.)

I haven’t thought about it yet.

Take your time.

Your aunt is young at heart, you know.

She already thinks too far ahead.

If I had been more responsible,

you two wouldn’t have been troubled like this.

Don't overthink.

We can borrow some money from our friends for you.

That’s right.

Grandson, don't overthink.

I’ll go to sleep.

Won’t you eat some more?

What a regret.

Mote is an intelligent boy.

He shouldn’t have made that mistake, causing trouble.

To be honest,

though Mote is intelligent,

he is always out of luck.

When he was young,

he missed the admission quota to study at a top school though he passed the exam.

(She’s our regular guest.)

(Though I don’t know her personally,)

(I remember her very well)

(because she brings her client here for a room every night.)

(If you think this man is her client,)

(then you’re wrong.)

(But he always accompanies her.)

(He drops her off and then picks her up.)

(No doubt he’s a …)

[Pimp]

I’m checking in.

Excuse me!

Yes.

I’m checking in.

Would you like a single bedded room or a twin room?

My regular room, please.

Let go of me!

Let go! You psycho!

You old bastard!

Damn it.

What the hell is wrong tonight?

Didn’t you say she’s willing to do anything?!

What a waste of my time!

Come here!

Let go!

Where are you going?

You’re still asking?

Ouch!

Shit!

Think.

Think, Mote!

Bitch Kat!

Hey, what are you doing?!

Damn it!

If I rush in to help,

I will indeed be done for.

Hey, freeze!

- Shit. - Don’t move.

Officers, it’s not my doing.

Let go of me!

I didn’t do it!

If I leave it like this,

then my aunt’s hotel will be in trouble for sure.

So, let’s do this!

(You’re under my control,) (so you must obey me!)

(You dare fight back now, huh?)

Is something wrong?

Your voice is heard downstairs.

Don’t stick your nose in!

Well, if something happens in my hotel,

I must call police officers to handle it.

Damn it!

Well, I didn’t mean to disturb your private time,

but if something happens here,

our hotel will be in trouble.

Your girl won’t have a place to work at.

Alright?

You’re just an employee of this crappy hotel.

You’d better know your place.

Yes.

Are you hurt?

Miss?

I’m Kat.

You don’t have to call me Miss.

Sit on the bed.

Does he do this to you often?

Sometimes.

But I’m used to it.

He won't make any bruises,

or else I can't work.

Though bruises can’t be seen, it doesn’t mean you aren’t hurt.

But I don’t feel hurt anymore for now.

I’m hungry.

Hungry?

Wanna eat some boiled rice?

It’s on me.

I want to repay you for helping me.

What are you looking at?

Huh?

I asked what you were looking at!

Or…

can you see ghosts?

I can’t.

Hey.

Why are you so starving today?

I’ve got some days off,

so I’m celebrating.

Also, you’re here helping me eat,

so I don’t have to worry if I can’t eat them up.

I feel like I’m inconveniencing you, who are paying for this meal.

It’s me who should feel like that.

I’m sorry for causing trouble in your hotel.

Let’s make this meal a treat to keep your lips sealed.

Oh, they sound like words from people in uniform.

Nonsense. How could you say something like that?

People in uniform in our country don’t accept any bribes, do they?

You’re fun to talk with.

No wonder clients like you a lot.

I just keep on talking.

Some clients like me to start a conversation,

but some want to hear me moan.

Alright then.

Cheers!

Drinking water?

Two beers, please.

Hey, let me ask you.

You have a conflict with him,

but why are you still working for him?

Do you really want to know?

I do.

Fine.

This is my workplace.

Hey, that’s him.

His name is Sun.

He is the one inviting all the girls to work here.

Including you?

I’m his debtor.

He said he would remiss my debt if I worked for him.

Mr. Gluay, this is Kat.

Please follow her to the room.

I work so hard only to get this small amount of money.

I can’t report this to anyone either.

I guess I must be his slave for my entire life.

We’d better celebrate

for being destined to meet each other now.

Hmm?

Well, our lives are identical.

We work so hard but get paid so little.

We can’t ask for help from anyone either.

And then?

What if we can accept jobs from the clients directly?

Woohoo!

What?

What if we can create an application for booking sideline girls instead of cars?

Can you accept the jobs directly on this application then?

Well,

do you mean I will work like a rider?

It’s not that similar.

We change from driving a car to…

After we launch this application,

many sideline girls will be on it.

They don’t have to pay us any commission fee.

Our app will only deduct a small percentage from their pay.

Their earnings will be directly transferred to them in full amount.

Most importantly, you can use my hotel as your workplace.

It will be like a co-working space.

Something like that.

Mote.

Huh?

Are you drunk?

That’s totally nonsense.

In this industry,

if you stand in their way,

they will surely get you done for.

I haven’t finished yet.

If we can keep the information of sideline girls and clients confidential,

this app will be lit.

As for the payment gateway,

if it’s easy and safe…

I think...

I’m already full.

I’m leaving.

I’m going.

Kat.

What?

If you keep working like this,

do you think you can pay off your debt?

We’d better work together to find ourselves an opportunity.

I’m tired today, Mote.

Let’s talk about it later.

Get home safe.

Hey.

I’ve worked with you for 3 years already,

but you gave me just this amount?

What about debt remission?

Hasn’t the amount I earned paid off my whole debt already?

Sun,

can I have my rate increased?

Why must I do that for you?

You'd better ask your mom

why she has left you this large amount of debt.

If you think I'm cheating,

remember that I'm the one finding jobs for you.

I also pay for your condo room.

Who is the real cheater, huh?

Come.

Let’s talk about it now.

Okay.

You’ve made the right decision, Miss Kat.

I haven’t said that I would work with you.

Then why are you here?

I just want to listen to your idea so that I can…

Can what?

Consider it.

Nice.

Take a look.

These are statistical graphs about buying-selling sex workers

through various websites as many as I could find.

Oho.

You came with graphs.

This is the data on clients’ satisfaction after using the service.

And this is the summary of the pain points of buying sex workers through websites.

By the way, what is a pain point?

It’s the weakness of a business.

To put it simply, it’s what makes clients decide not to buy from us.

So, if we can create an app that removes pain points,

it will be a win-win situation.

Does that mean,

if we launch an app, and a lot of people use it,

we will get rich?

Our average monthly income will be 300,000 baht.

300,000?

Right.

But anyone can just randomly say something like this, can’t they?

Do you know how to create an app?

I don’t.

I was right. Damn it.

Wait.

When are you free again?

I’m always free if you pay.

If you’re in a hurry, then 2 hours will do.

If you’re chilled, then it should be 4 hours.

Are you in a hurry?

I’m not.

I’ll take you to meet someone.

For 3 people, the rate is different.

Stop selling already.

The person I’m taking you to meet is my friend.

He knows how to create an app.

Alright.

So, it’s 3 in total, right?

Are you serious or joking?

I can’t differentiate now.

You crazy.

Nonsense.

Hang on.

Can you lend me 300 baht?

What?

Give me.

Why did we have to buy these expensive strawberries?

Come on.

Hi there, my bestie.

Doy, I’m sorry.

Open the door for me, Doy.

Didn’t you say you two are close friends?

Please open the door for me.

I’m sorry.

Doy, please.

Please give me a chance.

This time, I really see our opportunity to start a startup

because I’ve already found our important key player.

Bestie, don’t close the door again.

Bestie, do you want me to help tidy up?

Done.

This is Kat, whom I told you about.

Hi, Kat.

Hi, Doy.

Let’s get straight to the point.

I’m here to ask you to help create an app.

I won’t do it.

What?

Why?

Mote, haven’t you had enough of this thing?

Last time, we encountered policemen and even ruffians.

But we won’t be stepping on anyone’s toes this time.

As for the police,

if we can keep this a secret,

I guess there won’t be a problem.

But if they find out, we can pay them.

I’m more worried about mafias, not police officers.

I know it’s risky but think it over.

If we just keep pitching like we used to do,

it’s not going to work.

You’re right.

I’m still angry that the app called Ginnaree Around Thailand beat us at that time.

I told you it’s because they had a connection.

You’re a lot more talented than them.

Your idea is far better.

You’re a sweet talker.

Last time, you and I almost didn't survive.

That’s why I’m here selling you on my idea,

so we can earn money to…

solve that problem.

Bestie,

today is an auspicious time.

I bought Korean strawberries for you.

Your favorite.

I haven’t finished yet, but you already took them.

Do you think I can be sold on the idea that easily?

Please.

Only you can make this project successful.

It's safe, and we will earn money for sure.

If you have money,

then you can spend it on doing any startups you want to.

Miss Kat, do you believe what he said?

Well,

to be honest, I have just known this dude.

I would say I don’t really believe him.

But what can I do?

It’s better to take a risk

than to continue living my life like this.

It’s not too late for you to get away now.

You can’t get away.

You can’t.

You can’t.

Well,

your idea has three flaws.

Let’s draft it together.

If there’s any point that needs fixing, we’ll look into it then.

Does this mean he already agrees to?

Exactly.

This is my bestie.

I told you we’re best friends.

He’s definitely doing it with us.

(The first step is to turn our idea into a design.)

(Code and then build a system.)

Privacy must be our priority, Doy.

Joy, I have something to show you.

(Kat, your main duty is to recruit girls to work for our app.)

Smile. (Recruit as many as you can.)

To keep the transactions between our clients and us confidential,

I think we should provide them with two payment options.

The first option is paying by cash.

The other is paying by cryptocurrency.

During our early stage, we will be open for clients only at night.

We can’t let Auntie Nath and Uncle Boong know about this.

Now, it's time for the most challenging step of this whole project.

What should we name our app?

I have been thinking it over the whole night.

Ready Sideline! Sideline to Win!

What the hell? Not this name.

That’s just a joke, dude.

Should we go with some words common in this industry?

Swoon over?

Thrilled?

Glowing bright skin?

That sounds like watching porn.

Kat,

you have been in this industry for some time.

Any idea?

When the client is booking us,

he types this.

Takkrub. (Hi, there.)

You have heavy workloads.

It can’t be helped.

I need to help my uncle and aunt.

You are a strong and brave homemaker.

You still work while the light keeps switching itself on and off like this.

Pull the cut out, and then everything is alright.

I’ll be right back.

Did you just pull the cut out?

Yes.

Is it funny?

No.

Hey,

Doy just sent us the beta version of our app.

Wow.

It’s awesome.

Doy is super good at this.

I’m already fine with this version.

What do you think?

I think we don’t have enough photos yet.

I’ll send him some more.

Thanks.

But please make sure they’re recent photos.

If our clients get catfished, then we could be in trouble.

Can I see your photo on the Club Sun app? What is it like?

Why do you want to see it?

I’m CEO here.

I need to check the work.

Here.

Oho.

What?

This is catfishing for sure.

Is that you for real?

Mote.

What an exaggeration.

You overacted.

It hurts.

Shut up.

Say no more.

This photo doesn’t look like me?

Of course, it doesn’t.

Well,

if you earn money from Takkrub app,

what will you spend it on?

I will go to Canada.

Canada?

For what?

I don’t know.

You have no plan, do you?

But it’s better than living here anyway.

If I continue living here, though I have 10 plans in mind,

there’s no way I can get rich.

What if you still have to do the same job there?

Will you do it?

No.

If I can choose, I won’t do it.

Don’t worry.

We will be successful soon.

Then, you will be able to choose what to do.

You’re betting big on Takkrub, right?

Of course.

My hotel,

the lives of my uncle and aunt,

and also my own life all depend on this app.

Alright.

Let’s hope that our first trial launch tomorrow won’t fail.

I think I won’t be able to sleep,

but Doy won’t have time to sleep.

You’re laughing at your friend.

(Give me some money, please.)

(Money, please.)

Doy.

Dude.

Girls, thank you so much for helping me here.

I’m so happy for you.

From now, if you need any help,

let me know.

Thanks a lot, Joy.

Girls, are you ready?

Yes, we are.

Please get your key.

This is just our first day.

We’ve already earned a lot.

We will become millionaires for sure.

How is it?

It’s going well.

Review team,

did we receive any nice reviews that can rejoice me?

Of course.

We received a lot of reviews in our chat rooms.

They are from our first lot of clients that just left.

I’m telling you this is fab.

Hey

don’t make those reviews public posts.

It’s dangerous.

Roger that.

Hello?

What?

Really?

Alright.

I’ll rush there. Just a second.

You know it’s not right, don’t you?

This is nearly a cybercrime

because I’m being catfished.

Catfishing?

Oho.

We’re truly sorry about this inconvenience.

But I guarantee that she’s the same person you saw on our app.

Ask her to come here.

Let me check.

A-Ngoon.

Here she is.

But her hair is short.

And then?

I want a girl with fair skin and long hair only.

Well,

she just got her hair cut yesterday.

She got her hair cut, so her hairstyle was changed, which means it’s a different person.

Each person has their own character.

This is a short-haired girl.

In the photo, she’s a long-haired girl.

Some people are tall, short, dark, and white.

Some are large, small, short, and long.

Some have delayed ejaculation, while some ejaculate fast.

Oh.

Alright then. I got your point now.

Please wait inside your room.

Don’t worry about the girl.

I’ll handle this for you.

I guarantee you won’t be catfished for sure.

Here she is.

I’m bringing you your new girl.

This is right.

Wait.

Do you want to join us?

Please enjoy your time.

Let’s go.

I must thank Uncle Boong for this.

He enjoys getting dressed up for photos.

He has so many costumes and odd wigs.

When you’re free,

you can borrow some to wear when you have clients.

No, thanks. I don’t want to trouble you.

But he enjoys cosplaying as a police officer the most.

A police officer?

It’s actually illegal,

but he never gets arrested for that.

To be honest, I’m quite serious about that catfishing thing.

Can you not let it happen again?

I got it.

Anyway,

thanks a lot.

Hey.

Police officers are here.

Who the hell reported us?

I didn’t.

Shit.

Someone has to handle them.

Hello, Officers.

Hello.

Are you in need of anything?

Some neighbors reported that

they heard rowdy noises from here.

It seems there’s a fight.

We came here to inspect if everything is alright.

I see.

I think it’s from our guests here.

It’s just a regular couple fight.

Oh, are the noises heard outside too?

I truly apologize.

Your hotel is age-old.

There can't be many couples staying here,

especially those who own luxury cars parked at the parking lot over there.

Hey.

If we search through your place and find out that there’s prostitution here,

be ready to close down your hotel.

I’ll be frank with you then.

Our guests here usually bring women with them.

But whether they’re buying sex workers or not has nothing to do with our hotel.

Show us your rooms then.

If you don't agree to,

you’ll be charged with obstructing police officers in executing their duty.

Let’s go now.

Alright then.

Can you please clear things up with Big Boong?

He’s helping us monitor this hotel.

Big Boong?

What?

You don’t know him?

Come on.

Which police station are you from?

He is very well known

among lieutenants and metropolitan officers.

You’re so lucky to have met me first.

You’ll probably be given a few allowances

or a free hotel room here.

Alright.

Let’s summarize the case now.

Those noises are from a fighting couple, right?

Anyway, thank you for your cooperation.

Sure.

Goodbye.

This way, please.

It's good that you're hard-working so people can rely on us.

Thank you, Big Boong.

We’re going back to the station. Please excuse us.

Go ahead.

Did those officers trick you into giving them bribes?

Damn it.

[The latest version of our app is now ready for update.]

I’m sorry. We haven’t opened yet.

Small-eyed bro, what’s up?

How is it going?

One month has passed.

You look run-down.

Earning money has tired you out, hasn’t it?

But you’re renovating your café.

You have enough money left to spend, don’t you?

Or are you renovating it while waiting for it to be seized?

Mote, are you with your friend?

Yes.

You have a friend of different ages.

Or

does he just look older than his actual age?

Ouch!

Uncle!

My uncle is not involved in this!

Uncle, get up.

Uncle, I’m sorry.

I intended to punch for fun

but accidentally used my full force.

Are you alright?

Uncle, get up.

Wait for me here.

I’ll be right back.

Bring me some coffee.

Don’t forget my coffee, bro.

What’s up?

This is Mr. Ko, a son-in-law of an elite family.

His hobby is buying supercars.

If you talk with him about cars,

he will be in a good mood and pay a lot of money.

I told him I’d send him our top girl.

Please him.

Don’t do what you did last time.

Got it?

Okay.

Strange.

When clients enjoy bragging about their hobbies,

you are always complaining, aren’t you?

Though I complain, I need to do it anyway, right?

It’s good that you understand.

Don’t think about betraying me.

Get to work now.

Place your hand on the table.

Why must I do it?

Small-eyed dude, don’t forget

that you have 5 months left.

I’m rooting for you.

Got it?

I’m leaving, my dear bro.

(I’ve focused only on thinking that,)

(if this app goes well,)

(our lives will be better, and we will get whatever we want.)

(On the other hand, if it turns out to be a flop, we will be done for.)

What should we do then?

Do you want me to keep spreading my legs for another 3 years, Mr. CEO?

We have to do what other startups do.

Find an investor for more funding.

This client is a well-known high-class man.

Get this into your head. Do not displease him.

Especially when it’s an investor at your level,

we respect listeners who will give us funding.

People like them won’t agree to negotiate with you that easily.

Did you really think your blackmail plan would work?
