Five million baht.

If you accept,

I'll transfer the full amount to you immediately.

Return Man.

No worries. We'll get it back.

One-hundred percent satisfaction guaranteed.

We're always happy to serve.

You're so cute!

There, there.

Mommy has to go to work now.

(Assistant Needed)

(Do Not Use Stairs. Do Not Enter Without Permission.)

- Hello, Auntie Penn. - Hello, dear.

It's Buay, isn't it?

Buay, right? That's it!

Good morning.

- Hi, Pribprao. - Oh.

You can just call me Prib.

We're colleagues now.

Hm.

Can I help you with anything?

I'm very skilled, you know.

- Like Keynote, Excel, Numbers... - I'm good, thanks.

You should wait for Yod.

What about Photoshop?

I'm good at that too.

- People have praised me... - I'm looking for someone

who can use Django.

You can help me insert markdown formatting

on the product details page.

I've already installed PIP for you. Are you okay with that?

Coffee...

Here's your Guatemalan cold brew, Buay.

Thank you, Auntie Penn.

Leave the coffee making to me.

Here you go.

- Hot chocolate for you. - Thank you.

Can I ask you something?

How did you know I like chocolate?

You filled out the form for the Vivi retrieval job.

"My favorite drink is..."

"hot chocolate."

Did you forget?

A bit, yes.

But yes, that sounds about right.

Well then. Have a seat.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Sit down.

Sit? Oh, thank you.

How's everyone doing?

Hello,

Boss.

You were two minutes and fifty seconds late on your first day.

One-point deduction.

How do you know? You just walked in...

If there's anything...

What's his name again?

Buay, isn't it?

- He's my informant. - Ah.

Anyway, I can start working right away.

- Oh, I should tie my hair up? - Stay still.

But...

- But it might not look good. - Stay still.

It seems okay. Follow me.

- Oh, Yod! - Behind me.

- Oh, here you are. - Thank you.

Let's go. How long are you going to keep moping?

Oops!

(Buying Used Items)

Don't forget to say it as we've rehearsed.

Huh? Oh, sure.

What's your name again?

It's Pribprao.

Yes?

Oh, yes. It's "Praoprib."

(Khlong Toey Garbage Disposal Center)

Hello!

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

I'm Bodin from RKY0A1, a division of the Ministry of Public Health.

I was sent by Adisorn to collect some trash for sample analysis.

Uh, I'm...

Praoprib.

I'm from the Ministry of Health as well.

Oh? No one's informed me about this.

Ah, the documents might've been delayed.

That's right. Extremely delayed.

Anyway, I'd like to start now.

Oh?

Why are we wearing these?

Our task today is retrieving Crummy.

What? What's crummy again?

Crummy is a stuffed bunny that belongs to our client's daughter.

It was thrown in the trash by mistake.

Do you mean the stuffed bunny

threw the client's daughter in the trash?

Correct.

Wait. What? That's...

Whoo! Agh!

Is it this one, Boss?

A one-eyed bunny.

One-point deduction for not remembering the details of an item.

Once 20 points have been deducted, you won't pass probation.

Okay. By the way,

is it okay for us to be here?

Do you know if the flies on your legs are male or female?

How should I know?

Indeed.

Most people only focus on themselves.

No one's going to pay attention to our insignificant activity.

Besides, Return Man's work ethos

is that if our job doesn't affect irrelevant parties negatively,

then it's A-okay.

Doesn't negatively affect other people?

It's me! I'm affected!

- Me! - Hm?

I'm sorry.

So how are we going to find the stuffed animal?

- Crummy. - Oh, yes. Crummy.

Of course, trash is being dumped here regularly.

I checked the garbage truck's route that passes Milla's house.

Consequently...

Right there.

We're going to look for the bunny over there.

(Ladawan Village (Milla's House))

Boss,

why didn't we just search there in the first place?

Huh?

Boss, found it!

Is this it? I found it!

I finally found it! Yes!

Yes! Found it.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you very much for finding it for her.

Are you happy, Milla?

Pookie would be very happy, Mommy!

Pookie?

He's the family dog.

But he died of an illness last week.

The bunny only has one eye because Pookie ripped it off.

She probably misses him.

Some things just can't be replaced. Right?

Mommy, this lady stinks!

- I'm sorry. - Excuse us.

This guy stinks too.

It's true!

Take good care of Crummy, okay?

Okay!

Goodbye, ma'am!

- Boss. - Hm?

Is there...

a shower up in the office?

Ah, Boss!

What? What did you just do?

Boss! Hey!

You're overacting, Yuth.

Huh?

Of course.

Acting is part of my job.

Anyway, how come you're here so early?

It's not even time for the meeting yet.

Apart from my patients, I have to mind my time too.

Oh.

- Uh... - Oh, Prib.

This is Met. He's a doctor and also my best friend.

Hello, Pribprao.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

He knows my name too?

Everyone on the team knows you.

Let's head inside.

- Let's go. - Uh...

Oh, okay.

Hey, kiddo.

Annyeonghaseyo, Doc.

- Hi, Auntie Penn. - Hello, Dr. Met.

Yuth, my mom asked me to bring you

some Gan Lan Cai. Where do you want me to put it?

You can leave it with Auntie Penn. Thanks.

Tell your mom I want a turnip cake next time too.

Mm.

- Here you are. - Thank you.

Here's your non-sweet latte. I'll leave it here.

Thank you!

(Emerald Green)

Oh, Yuth.

You still haven't thrown out that shirt?

How could I?

This shirt represents our green team's glory.

Cheerleader, are you ready? Seven-eight!

The storm!

The sun!

The power!

Green team the victor!

Whoo!

Yay!

All right. Let's prep for the meeting.

And only memorize the good things.

Come on!

This mission involves

the retrieval of a piece of art titled.

"Utterance".

(Ratree (40))

This is Ratree,

a 40-year-old millionaire.

She's the youngest daughter of Vinai, a magnate.

And this is Vinai.

He was an avid art collector.

He passed away last month

and passed on his possessions to his three children.

Tawan gets to

take over his company, which is worth billions.

Phupa

inherited 900 million worth of cash.

But Ratree

only inherited an old mansion

which houses hundreds of pieces of art.

Ratree is organizing an auction for all of them in three days.

She claimed that part of the earnings will go to charity

and various foundations.

And this is the person who hired us,

Vithu, the magnate's grandson.

He wants us to retrieve a piece of art called "Utterance".

It is the only item

we're going to retrieve on this mission.

My aunt is only

using the auction as a cover.

Her claim about charity

is actually non-existent.

She only wants to sell off the art

to fund her hotel business that's about to flop.

I just want "Utterance"

because my grandpa gave it to me when I was a kid.

But somehow, that wasn't stated in his will.

The title of that piece

is "Utterance".

It's inspired by the Chinese character

"yue".

And the meaning of "yue"

is moon.

You're right, Grandpa!

There is a Chinese idiom that goes,

"If you want to shoot down an eagle,"

"then aim for the moon."

Remember, my dear boy.

Don't be afraid to dream big

as long as you take initiative.

Even though you haven't reached the moon,

you've already caught an eagle.

Dad used to tell me.

"Vithu" also means moon as well.

Hm...

Well then.

Shall I let you have this painting?

Really, Grandpa?

Is it expensive?

You're still a child

and already know the concept of value?

Let me tell you something.

Art

is invaluable.

Once you've gotten a bit older

and understand the meaning of that sentence,

you can come back and take it with you.

Thank you, Grandpa!

I've tried.

I've tried many times to ask my aunt for the painting.

But she always uses the will as an excuse.

And it's a closed auction.

Only her acquaintances

and people she benefits from can join.

Not just anyone.

Not even me.

I hope your company

won't disappoint me.

Don't worry.

Let Return Man

handle the painting.

But before we discuss the mission...

Met,

what about the thing I asked you to look into?

Here.

(Top Secret)

According to the autopsy report, cirrhosis is the cause of death.

Huh?

Uh, hang on. What disease is that?

Uh, cirrhosis...

It's the scarring of the liver.

Like...

alcohol addiction?

Oh?

Are you a coroner?

No,

Met's a surgeon.

How did you get your hands on the information then?

Uh...

Let's skip that.

All right. We can forget the possibility of murder.

We're being hired to go on this mission

for five million baht.

Oh!

And the lower our winning bid is,

the higher the difference, the more we get paid.

Whoa.

What a cash grab, Yod.

The painting isn't of much interest.

That's why we don't have that many competitions.

But we still have to be careful of three other profit speculators.

And they are Pun,

Preeda,

and Arnon.

Our plan

is to do anything in our power

to prevent them from winning the bid for the painting.

Let's get to work!

Ready, Buay?

I'm ready.

Welcome to the auction, Mr...

(Soodyod Watasilp, Curator. Net worth: 30,000,000 million baht)

Mr. Soodyod.

That's quite the name you've given me, Buay.

What do you think? Is it as excellent as your namesake?

(Pribprao Pradapdaopim, Owner of a Major Department Store Chain)

- Welcome to the auction, ma'am. - Thank you!

Boss, I got in! I got in!

Get a hold of yourself.

(Bampenn Muenchakrawan, Owner of the Country's Biggest Real Estate.)

I didn't expect you to join us, ma'am.

Welcome to the auction.

This way, please.

Buay, we're in.

Lead the way.

Whoa.

Magnate Vinai is such a devil.

He had a lot of world-renowned art.

How many are you hoping to buy tonight?

Do you have your eyes on anything in particular?

Not yet.

But they have to be something I can sell for profit.

"The Mountain Range with Three Cliffs".

The first cliff symbolizes wealth.

The second one symbolizes friends and subordinates.

The third one symbolizes strength.

In fact, the magnate was a penniless migrant who came here by ship.

But thanks to this blessed painting,

he was able to climb the ranks and become a millionaire

who owned many major businesses.

How fascinating.

For this piece,

you'll need at least eight figures

in the market.

Having it in your possession is already considered a profit.

You're telling us about the nitty-gritty.

Aren't you worried we might bid for it?

Don't worry.

I'm not a bidder anyway.

I'm Soodyod Watasilp.

They call me "Black Curator" on the black market

who gives advice about old and forgotten artworks

to people who have good eyes.

Hm?

Please feel free to look around. Excuse me.

Let me brag a little less.

Too long and my cover might be blown.

Come on, Yod.

If you don't brag, people won't believe you.

But you were able to eliminate a competitor as planned.

By the way, are you ready, Prib?

You're still not ready for this mission, Pribprao.

But why?

I'm also an employee of Return Man.

An employee who's still on probation.

But Yod,

we're still missing one person for the job.

You're Black Curator.

Auntie Penn is the mysterious socialite who manipulates the bids.

We still need another person to hang around Arnon.

Even though he enjoys the company of young women,

I think it's too risky to let her join a mission of this scale now.

I'll make a call to an old friend.

That's it.

Yuth,

I think Buay's right.

I'll vouch for Pribprao as well.

I believe she's up for it.

I know it's risky like you said.

But I don't think you should judge a book by its cover.

Look at me. Who'd take me for a doctor from my getup?

Please!

The artwork tonight belongs to various genres.

This is another one.

Anyway, I'll have to excuse myself.

Are you interested in this piece as well?

Yes, I am.

This woman

was from the Tang dynasty.

The artwork is very rare and can fetch a very high price.

- You've got very good eyes. - Oh, thank you.

China was very prosperous and peaceful during the Tang dynasty.

People were just starting to get back on their feet.

A portrait of a plump woman

with a broad forehead and a round face.

It symbolized wealth and happiness.

And these traits became the norm

for what was perceived as beauty back then.

Beautiful women back then all looked like that.

But they said there were four women who epitomized beauty of the time.

They were.

Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Diaochan,

and the last woman

who was said

to humble even the prettiest flowers.

And her name was Fan Bingbing.

Prib, Prib...

Prib!

No, that's not right.

Excuse me, but wasn't the last woman

called Yang Guifei?

Uh...

Uh, the thing is...

Fan Bingbing

played Yang Guifei in "Lady of the Dynasty".

Exactly.

She's a beautiful woman.

That's why she was able to portray Yang Guifei so well.

I guess you'd like to compare the beauty of the past

to the present. Isn't that right, ma'am?

He's exactly right.

You've got a way with words, Black Curator.

Do you have any suggestions for me?

Oh.

Actually, I'd like to say

this portrait of a fat lady is definitely to die for.

But I also have another choice for an art lover like you, Arnon.

It's over there.

Would you like to come along and see it?

Oh, I'd be happy to.

After you.

Prib, hang in there.

Give it another go.

Right. Thanks.

They say beautiful women and art go hand-in-hand.

I see.

Vinai and I were long-time friends.

But my understanding of art

was never at his level.

I'm just here

- to see an old friend tonight. - Ah.

But it'd be a great honor

if I can have someone knowledgable about art

like you

to accompany me around the event tonight.

Oh? Me?

That's right.

His name is Songpob. He's a millionaire.

I looked him up.

There's nothing significant about him.

He's completely ordinary.

Just play along, okay?

It'd be my pleasure.

Thank you.

- You're welcome. - This way, please.

Uh...

Is something the matter?

Oh, nothing. Let's continue.

It's probably nothing.

Greetings, everyone.

Welcome to our charity auction, in memory of my father, Vinai.

He once told me

art can help

rejuvenate the hearts of those who have lost all hope.

So I'd like to give away these valuable pieces of art

in hopes that everyone can appreciate

their aesthetics and fulfill my father's aspiration.

Thank you.

Is everyone ready?

Greetings, honored guests.

Welcome to the auction.

Without further ado, the auction begins now!

"The Mountain Range with Three Cliffs"

goes to Number 23 with the winning bid of 6,500,000 baht!

Wow, we have millionaires joining us tonight.

Everyone's very enthusiastic.

Let's get to the next pieces of art, also belonging to Vinai.

Let's see which one it is.

Get your bid paddles ready.

The portrait of a fat lady from the Tang dynasty!

It was the first piece to be included in his collection.

Each bid will go up by 500,000 baht.

The starting bid is 1,500,000 baht.

Let the bidding begin!

Number 15, two million! Any other offers?

Number 7 for 2,500,000!

Number 8, three million!

Three million! Three million! Don't lose the bid now!

Number 24 has offered 3,500,000 baht!

Number 2, four million!

Number 15 for 4,500,000!

Four million and five hundred thousand going once!

Four million and five...

Number 21, five million!

Wow! Number 21 has offered five million!

Any other offers?

Five million going once!

Five million going twice! Five million...

Number 15 for 5,500,000!

That's great!

Number 21, six million!

Number 15, six million and five hundred thousand!

Number 15 for 7,500,000! This is awesome!

Eight million and five hundred thousand going once!

Eight million and five hundred thousand going twice!

Eight million and five hundred thousand going thrice!

Sold! Excellent!

Number 15 has won the painting!

And the next painting

is...

"Utterance".

"Utterance" is a very beautiful painting of an eagle.

It'd be great if one of you gets to have it for your collection.

Do you think this one is interesting?

Yes? Oh...

Not at all.

It's very average.

- Is that so? - Yes.

The line work seems strange as well.

I know, right?

It's just a painting that uses "yue", a Chinese character.

I think it's just average, hardly beautiful.

Each bid will go up by 300,000 baht.

The starting bid is 300,000 baht!

Let the auction begin!

That was close.

Excellent! Number 12 for 3,600,000 baht!

Any other offers? Any other offers?

Sir, why are you...

- Three million and six hundred... - bidding for the painting?

You agree it's not beautiful, don't you?

Well, I've become fond of it.

You're fond of it?

Three million and six hundred thousand going twice!

Number 21!

Number 21 has offered 3,900,000 baht! Wonderful!

Number 22 has offered 4,200,000 baht!

Buay,

can you help me find out who this Songpob is?

I already did.

His background is super simple.

He's not wealthier than Arnon or Pun.

- Search for old news. - Going once! 4,200,000!

He might've known the magnate personally.

- Going twice! - Sure thing.

Four million and two hundred thousand...

Number 21 has offered 4,5000,000 baht!

Any other offers?

Number 12 has offered 4,800,000 baht!

We're at 4,800,000 baht now!

Don't give up just yet! Raise your bid card!

Five million. If you accept,

I'll transfer the full amount to you immediately.

And the lower our winning bid is,

the higher the difference, the more we get paid.

Four million and eight hundred thou...

Number 21 has offered 5,100,000 baht!

We have now gone over five million!

Any other offers?

Sir! I don't think

we should bid for it. It's not even beautiful...

Number 12 has offered 5,400,000 baht!

Five million and four hundred thousand!

Any other offers? Don't give up just yet!

Number 21!

Five million and seven hundred thousand!

Five million and seven hundred thousand! Great!

Number 12 for six million! Fantastic!

The price is now six million!

Any other bidders? Anyone?

Six million going once!

Six million going twice!

And six million going thrice!

Number 12 has won the bid! Sold!

Whoo!

That was excellent!

Well then. Please let me thank you by treating you to dinner, okay?

Yes? Thank me? For what?

You told me the true meaning of "Utterance".

- I did? - Mm.

A long time ago, Vinai once told me

that among his entire art collection,

there was a piece of art

with a price

that is almost impossible to appraise.

The painting is called.

"The Moon".

"Yue"

means moon, doesn't it?

Yes, it does.

If you didn't tell me the meaning of "Utterance",

I wouldn't have realized

it was the same painting Vinai mentioned.

How fortunate!

Eat up! Eat up!

Oh, this is excellent!

Mm!

Eat up! Go on!

- Please. - Uh, sir.

"Utterance" already has an owner.

Our company and I were hired to retrieve it.

So,

can you let me have it?

I'm really sorry!

But if I don't get it back, I'm dead!

I knew it. You're not just an ordinary person.

But I'm afraid I can't give it back to you.

Let's keep eating. The food is delicious.

If I don't get it back, I'll lose my head!

Would it be okay if I offered to buy the painting from you

for the same price you paid?

Can I please have a seat?

Of course.

I'm Yodyuth.

I'm a professional item retriever from Return Man.

Hm.

Of course.

How about I sell it to you for ten million?

Oh no.

I know

you went to the auction

not because you expected profits like the other millionaires.

You were just...

You were just visiting an old friend.

"S.P." stands for Songpob, doesn't it?

I noticed you staring at it for a long time.

Long enough for me to realize

that it's important to you.

It's something important to you,

but it wasn't put up for sale.

I hope my observation was correct

and that it is truly important to you.

It is.

Vinai and I used to live in extreme poverty.

But we really wanted these pocket watches.

So we waited around the store every day

until we eventually became business partners.

I'd already saved enough money.

So I was determined to buy a pocket watch as a present for him.

But we had an argument that day.

My stubbornness was to blame.

I decided to withdraw all of my shares.

And I lost contact with him entirely.

I didn't have the chance

to give the watch to him.

But I didn't expect

that he'd buy it for me as a present as well.

Mr. Item Retriever, thank you very much

for bringing back

all those pleasant memories.

Utterance should also

be returned to its true owner.

I'm happy to buy it for the same price you paid.

Six million.

And you can have the watch.

Thank you.

I'm sorry!

It's... it's my fault

the mission almost failed.

Ten.

I'll deduct you ten points

and will reevaluate your salary.

Because of you, our company has lost

two million baht.

- Huh? - Huh?

- Two million? - Two million?

Two million?

I thought it was one million.

How come it's two million all of a sudden?

I'll tell you.

The thing is...

That watch is not for sale.

Besides,

I'm about to lock up the house.

If you don't leave now,

I'll call security.

What a shame.

The magnate passed this house and invaluable artwork to you.

But apparently, you don't really give them much worth.

So what?

What I do with my possessions is my business.

How does it have anything to do with you?

By the look of things,

you have the tendency to look down on other people's opinions.

And if I was actually greedy,

so what?

How does it trouble you at all?

By the look of things,

you're quite intoxicated.

If you were to sell this pocket watch,

how much do you think you'd sell it for?

That old, beaten-up watch?

I don't even know if anyone would want to buy it

for ten thousand.

How much?

- One million. - Deal.

I'll transfer it to you now. I'm in a bit of a hurry.

(Transaction successful)

Wait.

I don't understand.

Why were you willing to pay that much for it?

I feel really sorry for you

that priceless artifacts

are incomprehensible to you.

Oh, by the way, please don't drink too much.

Otherwise, you might get cirrhosis.

However, the mission accomplished eventually.

Pribprao.

We need to talk.

Yod, the money's missing.

If you can't pay me by today,

you have to go on a date with me.

It's an easy, one-day task with instant payment.

- Oh! - Yod!

She's keeping a stack of letters I wrote her when I was young.

I don't even know why she's doing that.

So I'd like to have them back.

Get out!

Don't you know this is a female-only apartment?

How can we go in and get the letters

if she hates men so much?
