My boss said we have lost 10 million.

Ten million?!

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.

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

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

What should we name our app?

When the client is booking us, he types this.

Takkrub.

Seriously?

This place has so many rooms.

Why are we having a meeting here?

Because my aunt and uncle are downstairs during the daytime.

I already asked Sun about his police protection fee.

He’s a little suspicious.

30,000 baht a month?

Thank you for paying attention, Doy, but no.

300,000?

Yeah.

[3 years.]

According to my analysis, the payback period is 3 years.

There are many additional hidden costs.

The highest of all is the police fee.

No wonder Sun charges such a high fee

and only serves VIP clients.

Damn it.

Why is running an underground business so difficult?

Agreed.

If only they would legalize it.

It’s a win-win for all.

Someone would clearly lose their benefits.

Would you let that happen if it were you?

Losing that much earnings.

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 start-ups do.

Find an investor for more funding.

But who would want to invest in this business?

I’ll do the search.

Don’t worry.

It’s not like the police will arrest us now.

We must move Takkrub into the second phase.

DIRECTED BY ATHIP VICHUCHAIANAN

These are the new girls Joy just sent me.

They’re not under anyone.

Tomorrow she will send me five more.

Cool.

And how’s the bug fix going?

I’ve fixed the real-time double booking issue.

Now that we have more girls.

Do you guys want me to add a feature to categorize them by clients’ preferences?

I’ve already written it.

Great.

Do it.

You’re so smart.

It’s nothing.

It’s your turn now, Mr. CEO.

I asked you to get a weapon.

Where is it?

Get ready.

Show it.

What is that?

It is a knuckle taser.

I don’t care what it is.

I asked you to buy a weapon.

Why did you get a toy?

Kat,

I bought this to protect myself, not to kill anybody.

Why are you so cruel?

Then why didn’t you get a normal weapon?

Think about it.

If I got a normal weapon, others will be able to tell.

This is subtle.

Yeah, I can’t tell at all.

Now what?

How do we know if it works?

Is it powerful or weak? How does it work?

What if it’s weak and only gives like a tickle?

What are you going to do then?

Gosh.

Forget the weapon for now.

Let’s talk about the investor.

Any plans in mind?

I’m thinking about it.

Mote, this is serious.

If you don’t have a plan, everything we have worked for will be for nothing.

I know.

I said I’m thinking about it.

I just can’t find someone yet.

Please keep your initial promise to me, Mr. Mote.

Hey.

What is she mad about?

She’s mad at you.

Me?

Yes.

She expects you to do better.

You should talk nicely to her.

How was I rude?

Knuckle teaser.

Was I rude?

You have a history of bugging people you’re interested in.

Don’t you know that?

What’s wrong?

What do you want?

Be patient.

I will definitely find us a way to survive.

Which way?

Hmm?

See?

You can’t give me any answers.

How am I going to trust you?

The problems just came up.

Give me some time to think.

You think everything is easy, don’t you?

Okay.

I might not be good enough as a CEO.

I’m sorry for disappointing you,

but I care about all my partners,

whether it’s you or Doy.

I will never leave anyone behind.

Sweet talk.

Are you afraid you’ll have no one to recruit girls for your app?

Please.

If I had Joy’s number,

I wouldn’t be trying to make up with you.

You dumbass.

What are you looking at?

Nothing.

Here.

I got you something to drink in a meeting,

but you left early.

If it’s sweet, I won’t drink it.

This is sugar-free.

You take such good care of me.

Do you have feelings for me?

Well,

you’re my important partner.

We have to take care of each other, don’t we?

Thanks.

No worries.

Do you like it?

Like what?

This tea or…?

Which one do you want to say?

Which one do you want to hear?

I think we did great today.

Yes, it’s amazing.

Get ready.

There’s no reason it won’t work.

It will work for sure.

There’s no reason it won’t.

Yeah.

We will be so rich.

Kat.

Kat,

you got so much prettier.

Wow.

I almost didn’t recognize you.

Seeing you live such a comfortable life makes me feel relieved.

What are you doing here?

Well,

I’m in trouble.

If you don’t help me,

I will surely die.

What about when I almost suffered to death?

Where were you then?

Do you have any idea what I’ve been through since you left?

I’m sorry.

Please forgive me.

- I’m telling you to leave. - I’m really sorry.

Kat,

if you don’t help me,

if I don’t get the money to pay them back,

they’ll surely kill me.

I’m still your mother.

Do you remember when your father left us?

I raised you by myself.

I don’t know who else to turn to.

Help me, please.

Kat.

Thanks, sweetie.

I knew you would be able to help me.

You got your money. Now leave.

I want you to have my number

so we can contact each other,

okay?

Mom?

Mom, where are you?

(Sorry, the number you have dialed is not available at this moment.)

(Sorry, the number you have dialed is not available at this moment.)

Where’s your mom?

Who are you guys?

I’m asking, where is your mom?

I don’t know.

Hey,

I think her mom is really not here.

If she’s not here, we’ll get it from her daughter instead.

Good idea.

I think she can make good money.

Don’t worry.

If you work hard,

you’ll be able to pay off your debt in less than 10 years.

Mr. Sun,

you didn’t tell me you’d be waiting here.

Give it to me.

All of it.

Can’t I get a bit more?

Do you want me to tell your creditor where you live?

Oh.

Do not show your face to Kat again, even if it’s not about money.

Understood?

Yes, Mr. Sun.

Go away.

Why are we at this hotel?

Can’t we ask the client to go to our usual hotel?

Stop complaining.

He is a special client.

I told you I don’t want a psycho client.

You don’t have a choice, Kat!

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

Get this into your head. Do not displease him.

When the rich are cruel,

they’re much more cruel than me.

Kat, isn’t it?

Yes.

My name is Peerapat.

You can just call me Pat.

You’re too kind.

Can I call you P’Pat instead?

Of course.

P’Pat, it is.

May I?

So, let’s begin.

From now on,

you must only do what I say.

How do you feel after trying it?

Good.

It feels like I have let something out.

If it makes you feel good, then good for you.

That’s right.

Because feeling powerful

is really good.

It’s hard to believe that someone like you doesn't have power.

Look, Kat,

what you see in the news or media may not always be true.

You must be feeling a lot of pressure.

Who would think that a billionaire would have almost no power at home?

[Billionaire “Peerapat” and His New Role as a “Start-Up Investor” Who Wants to Build a Thai Unicorn Business]

I guess your family thinks you’re not that successful.

Especially my wife’s family.

They think I’m a loser.

They got me where I am today.

Whatever I invest in by myself becomes a failure.

by the way

Sorry.

I shouldn’t be telling you these things.

It’s totally fine.

Whatever is said in this room stays a secret in this room.

I should ask Sun to book you for me often.

If you book me through Club Sun, I may not have much availability.

Why?

Are you moonlighting in secret?

I’m afraid I can’t tell you.

Kat,

I won’t tell anyone.

Certainly not Sun.

I don’t care about Club Sun.

I only care about you.

You must promise me.

If you break your promise,

you’ll never see me again.

Mote.

Can you get me a room?

I want the same room.

Since when did you accept jobs via Takkrub?

If you want to see me often,

you have to use this app.

If you’re interested, I’ll send you an invite.

Whoa.

Did you really build this app with your friends?

Yes, but we just launched it,

so our location is limited to just one hotel.

If you worry about safety,

I guarantee you that privacy is our top priority.

I want to increase our sales.

You should get your hands dirty for a change.

She has a point.

Right?

That’s right.

Give me the key.

I need to open the room before my client arrives.

Why are you working so early?

Don’t you normally start working after 7 p.m.?

Because this client is available in the early evening.

He has to go home when it’s late.

Right?

That makes sense.

Are you okay?

Of course, I am.

Why?

Are you not okay?

It’s not that.

You’re not okay.

It’s none of your business.

I get it,

but Kat has made her choice.

It’s her job.

What are you looking at?

He looks familiar.

That Takkrub app is good.

I like that it’s easy to use.

I’m so glad to hear it.

But you didn’t bring anything with you today.

No devices?

No, I got bored of them.

This time,

when we’re in the act, I’d rather look into your eyes.

Get home safe, P’Pat.

I changed my mind.

Can I get another hour?

Don’t be stubborn.

If you don’t go home, your wife will become suspicious.

Oh, look.

Speak of the devil.

Go back for now.

We can always see each other again.

Alright.

I’ll text you.

Don’t forget to Takkrub me.

Okay.

Bye.

(Where is it?)

Are you looking for this?

How did you know?

You’re acting off.

Since you started accepting jobs via Takkrub, you looked weirdly happy,

like you were trying to hide something.

How did you know I hid the camera?

I’m smart.

I’m psychic.

Stop bullshitting.

Just kidding.

I recognized who your client was.

Mr. Peerapat is really famous.

What were you thinking, hiding the camera to film him?

It’s none of your business.

No.

It’s all of our business.

You hid a camera in my hotel.

Did you really think your blackmail plan would work?

Of course.

He will never let photos of him with a sideline girl leak.

After that, we’ll get the money

and finally end the problem of not having enough funding.

Kat,

let me tell you the consequences of blackmailing.

Bring the money to room 211 now

and I’ll remove the clip.

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

if you don’t have the upper hand.

Pretending they’ll give you money and killing you is the easiest solution.

What should we do then?

I’ll tell you later.

Let me eat first.

Where?

My memory card is much more expensive than this meal.

Come on, Kat.

You’re in the wrong for hiding your camera in my hotel without telling me first.

Besides, what you did could really destroy our business.

I know that.

I’m serious.

We’re partners.

There shouldn’t be any secrets between us.

But I just met you two.

So what?

We still have values for each other, don’t we?

Whoa.

Do you put a value on everything?

Yes.

I always put a value on everything around me.

I see.

Will you estimate my value?

Hmm.

Why?

You can’t estimate my value, can you?

Uh-uh.

I just want to tell you that you’re definitely worth more than you think.

Why?

What’s with that face?

Did you expect me to say 10 million?

How am I going to trust you, you sharp-tongued jerk of a CEO?

And you’re a troublemaker.

Thank God I found the camera in time.

Speaking of, what are we going to do about Peerapat?

Actually, I also want him to invest in Takkrub Phase 2.

I know him well.H

e’s a lavish investor.

He ruins everything he invests in,

but he keeps pretending to be smart in the media.

In the end, his wife’s parent company always has to buy and save it.

But why would someone in that league invest in our app?

In his interviews,

Peerapat said he wants to invest in technology and startups.

He probably hopes to make a business become a unicorn,

but he hasn’t got a chance to invest in those things yet.

But our app is illegal.

Yes,

but it’s a beta for Peerapat to build on.

If it works, he will get a how-to.

All the rich people run shady businesses.

Oh.

I get it now.

Honestly,

Peerapat seems to be interested in Takkrub.

Yes.

Let’s tell Doy about this.

I don’t think that land is good.

No one is probably interested in that old cinema.

We should turn it into an office building for rent or a mall.

Mr. Pat, you’re back.

Mr. Jay.

Why are you still here so late?

Ms. June asked me to help with her work.

Where have you been?

I had a meeting with the entrepreneurs.

They scheduled it quite late.

Good.

You should talk to them a lot before making your decision.

I’ve also been thinking about investing in cryptocurrencies.

Haven’t you learned?

What did I tell you was the most important thing to invest in?

Real estate.

Yes, I know that.

Your parents have told me a million times.

But we can buy real estate with digital currencies too.

You don’t even know how to invest in stocks and funds.

Why don’t you start by attending board meetings?

You bailed on one the other day.

What’s the point of me attending?

It’s not like I have any rights or votes.

Then make sure you do.

Do not look down on me in front of another person.

It’s none of your business how I spend or invest my money.

Do you dare say that you made all that money yourself, Pat?

Let’s call it a night.

Thank you so much.

Of course.

Please excuse me.

Hello?

I think your debtor has the money to pay you back.

You know what you have to do if that’s the case, right?

I do.

[Secret Plan to Get His Funding]

Everything we said makes up this plan.

Okay, I think it’s interesting.

No,

I think we have a chance

if we can make him see the potential of our app.

We can earn back our investment and make a profit in a short time.

Right?

Combined with access to Peerapat’s hotels.

If Takkrub wants to grow,

it must have a lot of hotels to support the demands that will follow.

That’s enough.

I studied it.

By the way,

we’re not going to use hotels with 3+ stars as our service locations.

During the recent travel industry recession,

I noticed that Peerapat and June’s chains have bought many small and medium hotels that were about to go bankrupt.

That’s exactly what we need.

Kat,

you’re the hero of this mission.

Do whatever it takes to make him fall head over heels for you

and slowly but consistently persuade him.

Don’t push it.

Pat,

is that for your medical condition?

Yes.

I’ve had allergies since I was born.

But now I think you have the most effect on me.

I must thank you though for being a Takkrub regular.

I’m just sad about its future.

I don’t think the app can grow any more than it has.

Why not?

I think the app is pretty good.

It even accepts cryptocurrencies.

You really think so?

He rose to the bait.

Okay.

Now we have to prepare our pitching script.

What?

Do we have to be that serious?

I thought we’re just going to sell him crap.

In the start-up industry, pitching is the holy ritual.

Whoa.

This is just like how start-ups pitch for funding.

It’s pretty cool.

Of course.

We respect listeners who will give us funding.

Especially when it’s an investor at your level.

How can we not take this seriously?

Well, from what I’ve seen,

this is going to need about 10 million.

Yes.

What do you think?

I don’t think that’s enough.

A project like this needs about 20 million

and we shouldn’t stick only to Bangkok.

We can expand it all over the country.

Tell your friends I will wait for their pitch.

Okay.

To us becoming rich tomorrow!

[The night before pitching]

You seem so sure you can trick him into giving us money.

If the three of us work together,

Peerapat’s money will definitely become ours.

Let me be serious for a bit.

We must have secret codes to communicate

in case something unexpected happens tomorrow

and we can’t communicate with spoken words.

Got it?

We must use body language instead.

For example, do you know which room this is?

The generator room?

The laundry room?

One point for Kat.

Next situation.

Pay attention.

Itchy head?

Asking for help?

Another point for you.

Itchy head? Just go poop!

You got it wrong!

Behind you.

No.

Wrong answer.

Behind you.

What are you guys playing?

My dear brother Mote and friends.

What’s up?

I just wanted to join your rice porridge party.

Excuse me.

Can I get stir-fried black olives with minced pork and one rice porridge?

It’s adults talking here.

You know very well why I’m here today.

I told you I can pay you back.

Don’t play dumb.

I’m here because of your business.

At first, I wondered how someone like you would find the money to pay us back.

I didn’t think you would dare turn your aunt’s hotel into a brothel.

I’m so impressed by you, Mote.

Isn’t that a good thing?

I will have the money to pay you back.

That’s not the point.

You know that you need a protector to run that kind of business, right?

How much do you want, Big Off?

Good.

I like people who get to the point quickly.

This is a friendly price.

200,000 baht a month.

But that will stop me from getting the money to pay back in time.

Do you think I care?

That’s a different problem.

If you can’t find the money to pay off your debt,

my boss will take over your hotel.

If you don’t pay me a protection fee,

the police will arrest you.

It’s that easy.

How about I give you a discount?

But you have to share your profit percentage with me.

Think of it as doing business together.

I’ll give you time to decide how much you want to share with me.

Once you’ve decided, you propose it to me.

I’ll contact you again when I need your answer.

Understood?

Yes.

Keep eating.

These are good.

Have a seat, Joy.

Yes, Mr. Sun.

Did you know these two are taking side jobs in secret?

No.

Hey.

You’re their big sister but you don’t know anything?

I’m sorry, Mr. Sun.

You know what, Joy?

At first,

all these girls were keeping their lips sealed,

but in the end, they talked.

Do you know why?

I don’t.

Because everyone has fears.

I really don’t know anything.

I don’t know anything.

He will turn two next month.

Do you still want him to get a ‘Happy Birthday to You’?

I really don’t know anything.

Please don’t hurt my son.

I’ll give you one last chance.

One chance only.

Tell me everything you and Kat are doing behind my back.

You’re all dressed up.

Where are you going?

I have a meeting.

There’s this business I’m interested in.

I think it can support the hotel chains I’m looking after.

See you later.

Will you be back for dinner?

I think I’ll get something to eat myself.

Don’t worry about my pills.

I have it here.

Peerapat is here.

I’ll go get him.

Thanks, Kat.

Hey, Mote.

Doy told me about last night.

You’re okay, right?

I’m fine.

If today is a success, then all problems will be solved.

Excuse me.

Now you look like a CEO.

Go.

Hi.

Are you checking in?

I wanted to ask if you provide a special service here.

A special service?

What kind?

I heard about Takkrub from a friend.

What’s your name?

Doy.

Doy, I’m a real client.

I heard that I need an invite from a member to access the app.

Don’t worry. I’m not a police officer on a sting operation.

Hello, P’Pat.

I think you should get in from the back.

Look at me.

Do I look like a police officer?

I don’t even wear my hair like one.

[Dude, a handsome client just walked in.]

[Don’t send him an invite. He’s a pimp.]

What?

My friend ran out of his invites

so I had to come all the way here.

Pick up the freaking phone, Mote!

Doy, I’m a real client.

DIRECTED BY ATHIP VICHUCHAIANAN

What should we do?

If he sees us, we’re screwed.

The more stubborn you get, the more I hate it.

Just talk about other things for now.

If you’re not ready, you can go back and prepare first.

If you can’t think of a good plan, then don’t.

How can you say that?

Stop!

Stop there!

Go back to where you came from!

Move!

I’ll kill you.

I think we should call the ambulance first.

We can’t.

Of course, we can.

Someone just died.
