Excuse me?

Have you seen some thugs coming through here?

I'm not certain.

I was busy preparing these desserts.

Thank you for your cooperation, ma'am.

- You're welcome. - Let's go.

You're safe now.

Have a seat.

Please help me.

Hang on, sir.

This is as much as I have.

Please help me.

Okay. Well then.

Let me summarize.

So, you heard about me

- from Dr. Met. - Mm.

- So you ran away from the hospital - Mm.

- to hire me. - Let's...

Let's get going. I don't have much time. I'm about to die.

Calm down, sir.

All right.

What would you like us to retrieve?

Hi, Boss! I'm early, aren't I?

Ah. See? Someone from the hospital is here.

- No, sir. - No, I'm not, sir.

This is Pribprabo. She's my assistant.

I'm actually his secretary.

Well, let's get going.

- I'm begging you. Please. - Where are we going?

Boss,

who's that?

Let's go on a mission.

What's wrong, sir?

It's not the right place.

Why don't you take him to the hospital?

- What would you like today? - Come on.

We should go, Boss.

(Bakery)

Argh, that's not it.

- Oh? Why did you do that? - Uh...

Please calm down.

He ate the dessert without asking me!

- Well, it's... - Then you were rude too!

It's not the right taste!

Take better care of your father, you two!

- He's old and... - How dare you call me that!

I'll give you one!

- Please calm down! - You can't just do this...

- because you're old! - Ah, don't!

- I'm really sorry! - I'm sorry!

See? Look what he's done.

Here you are. Keep the change. We're really sorry!

- Let's go. - Just get him away from here.

We're going now. I'm sorry. Ah!

- Sir! - Sir, what's wrong?

Boss, hurry up and call an ambulance!

Are you going to be okay, sir?

Let's get you a seat.

- What's up, Met? - Yuth, Keaw went to you, didn't he?

Yes, I'll take him back. Bye.

Please don't take me back now.

If I go back now,

I won't be able to come back again.

- I'm begging you. - Yod!

Yod!

I don't want to be here anymore!

Yod!

- Yod! - Boss?

Boss?

- Go! Get out of here! - We're going!

We're leaving now!

You're old but are acting like you can still pick a fight.

(One Call, Return All)

Boss,

what are we going to do if something happens to him?

Okay, well...

I don't want to say anything much.

But he's not what we'd call "young" anymore.

And if something were to happen,

we'd be in trouble, Boss!

Think about it...

Yuth,

I know you're not going to take him back to the hospital.

Are you okay, sir?

You ran away again.

Not again, Dad.

Hello.

Do you know what you're doing?

I can sue all of you, you know.

You too, Dad.

Can you at least stay put for a day?

I went to the bathroom for a bit, and you managed to run away.

You're about to have surgery as well.

He's getting heart bypass surgery the day after tomorrow.

But he's been trying to run away recently.

Sir,

you can't run away like this anymore.

Everyone's worried about you.

Yuth,

I'll take him back to the hospital.

And I'll talk to Lek later.

- Come on, sir. - Met,

before you go, I'd like to ask him something.

Sir,

why does it have to be Khanom Sai Sai?

Stop!

Have you heard of Dang Bireley?

After him!

My nickname at the time was

(A.D. 1956)

Keaw Bicycle.

(Keaw Bicycle)

You guys go that way!

- Hey, stop! - Darn it!

Hey!

Go! Check that alley!

Come on!

Search the place!

(U-Rai's Confectionery)

Excuse me?

Have you seen some thugs coming through here?

I'm not certain.

I was busy preparing these desserts.

(Military Police)

Thank you for your cooperation, ma'am.

- You're welcome. - Let's go.

You're safe now.

Have a seat.

Well,

why did you become a thug?

Aren't you afraid of death?

No, I'm not.

This is not a big deal at all.

Here you go.

So? Is it delicious?

But I don't have money to pay you right now.

It's okay. You can keep eating.

After having Khanom Sai Sai that day,

I turned myself in.

I was imprisoned for five or six years.

After my release,

I looked for the dessert shop again,

but it was gone.

Before the surgery,

I'd like to have Khanom Sai Sai from that shop one more time

because it gave me the will to live.

Met,

what's the risk

of heart bypass surgery?

Seventy-thirty.

Is seventy the chance of survival, Doctor?

It's dying, sir.

But you said it was fifty-fifty the other day.

The risk went up because you ran away.

Enough, enough.

I've listened to this story hundreds of times.

Don't you understand, Dad?

The shop was closed a long time ago.

There's no way you're going to find it.

Stop being stubborn and be realistic.

Can we leave now, Doctor?

Come on, sir. Let's go back to the hospital.

Take it easy, sir.

I'd like to have Khanom Sai Sai from that shop one more time

because it gave me the will to live.

Everyone,

I've made a decision.

We're going to retrieve Khanom Sai Sai for the old man.

Yod, it's virtually impossible.

Then there is his health condition too.

We're not going to be paid much as well.

Auntie Penn's right.

That's crucial indeed.

- I think... - But I've decided.

We're going to start today.

This obviously isn't an easy job.

So we're going to try every method we know.

First, buy Khanom Sai Sai from all of the famous shops to try.

There's a possibility

it could be one of those shops.

I'll get a container to put them in.

Where did you buy this one from?

Here.

- Sorry. - No problem.

Buay, narrow down the area of famous shops and find the oldest.

No, that's not old enough.

Huh?

Ooh, too sweet.

- Okay, this is nice. - Really? Let me try.

Try this keyword.

(Keaw Bicycle)

What about this one?

(Keaw Bicycle)

What do you think?

Take it.

(Trok Pratu Keaw)

Try this one.

(Desserts, Trok Pratu Keaw)

But if we still can't find it,

we'll have to go back to the spot

where everything began.

Hello.

- Hello. - Yes?

Did this place use to be a dessert shop?

They moved a long time ago. I don't know to where.

Another one.

Come on.

I'll use a search algorithm to locate it too.

(Thongkwan, U-rai's Secret Recipe.)

Huh? Yod!

Found it!

- Where? - Here.

Is that it?

Thongkwan?

I think that's it!

Boss,

this place is awesome!

It's true!

(Thongkwan)

(Thongkwan)

(Closed)

Here you are.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's authentic Khanom Sai Sai.

Please feel free to leave feedback.

Ugh!

So?

Mm! It's so good, Boss!

It's even better than the one we got delivered to the office.

Yum!

Boss, where are you going?

Uh, excuse me?

Yes?

I'm searching for a Khanom Sai Sai shop

from 1956.

It's called U-rai's Confectionery.

Does the name sound familiar to you?

U-rai's?

That's also my grandmom's name.

Met,

you're unbelievable.

I thought you'd given up already.

Lek's gone, isn't she?

Yes, she is.

Don't spend too long in there.

Keep a lookout.

Here you are, sir.

She moved to the US in 1959.

And the shop's closed.

That's the reason why you couldn't find her after you were released.

Give it a taste, sir.

That's not it.

How is it different?

Orn, U-rai's biological granddaughter.

She's a direct descendant.

She said she's never altered the recipe.

And I thought

it should've tasted right.

It's not the same.

Anyway, thank you for your help.

Are you here to cheer me up?

Mm... no.

To rub it in your face.

I've never seen you fail in retrieving something.

I'm joking. I'm actually here to cheer you up.

So? Are you feeling okay?

You did your best.

No,

I still haven't done enough.

I can do a lot more.

Yuth,

I know you're trying to fix something.

But you have to tone it down.

Keaw is my patient.

You know who will be in trouble if something happens to him.

Anyway,

just don't let me know

what you're going to do.

Okay?

- Prib? Prib? - Yes?

Are you free?

I'm hungry.

Would you like to go out for dinner?

Like, eating?

- Oh. - Your boss won't have a problem.

Uh, okay.

I'll be going now.

Mhm!

Are there vegetables between my teeth?

No.

You're really enjoying it.

I couldn't help but watch.

Do I look like a glutton?

- I wasn't saying that. - Don't mock me. Eat up.

- Hey... - Okay, okay. I won't watch.

You know, Yuth and I come here often.

- Really? - I don't know.

why he's not sick of it already.

I don't think so. The food is great.

Does Boss usually like hot pot?

Mm.

I actually don't know anything about the food he likes,

what he enjoys doing or his hobbies.

Not at all. I don't have a single clue.

He only spends his days working

and fiddling with that... what is it again?

- Rubik's cube. - Yes, that's it.

Think about it, Doc.

I don't know anything about my boss.

So how can I be a good secretary?

Would you like to hear a story about him?

I completely forgot!

You're his friend!

Of course.

We've been best friends since middle school.

We went to the same school.

Do you know Yuth used to be

very rambunctious as a kid?

- He was in a fistfight every day. - My dad didn't do it!

- Hey! - My dad didn't do it!

- Don't you insult him! - A teacher's coming!

- We have to go now! - He didn't do it!

- He didn't do it! - We have to go! A teacher's coming!

These kids again!

But that's the reason why we're very close.

Even when his mom was hospitalized,

my dad was her doctor.

He and I have been like two peas in a pod ever since.

So,

how are his parents doing now?

Well, they're both gone.

I believe once he's opened his heart to you,

he's going to tell you everything himself.

Oh, right. How's your injury?

- This? - Mm.

Well, it's okay.

It's nothing serious.

The doctor told me to clean it often.

I should've gone today. I forgot!

- You did? - Yes!

Oh, you.

Then we should hurry up.

I'll drop you off at the hospital once we're done.

Can we not hurry?

Finally.

Are you tired, Auntie?

Not more than usual.

But I think

you're a lot more tired than I am.

Auntie,

what do you think

will happen

if I fail this job?

It depends

on your definition

of success.

You probably can't remember anymore.

The first day you invited me to come and work here,

you told me

everyone experiences failure.

But it depends

on the person's definition of failure,

whether they're going to define it as an eternal failure

or a mere experience.

Gosh.

I was so corny.

But I think it's applicable in this case.

It's up to you

to define your failure of this job

as a simple mistake

or an experience.

Excellent.

Cold tea after a tiring day of work

is refreshingly sweet.

- Thank you, Auntie! - Oh?

Yod? What's the hurry?

You didn't tell me if I should just lock up the place either.

Yod?

Hello?

Oh, okay. Leave it at the counter. I'll go down and get it.

Thanks.

Okay.

Thank you for bringing me here to have my wound cleaned.

I would've forgotten if you hadn't reminded me.

It would've rotted by now, I guess.

If it's you, Prib,

I'm always happy to drop you off wherever and whenever.

Yuck. Is that your iconic pick-up line?

Well, according to your smile, I think it's working.

After you.

Prib,

would you like me to...

Excuse me.

Hello, Boss.

Hello, Prib. Where are you?

Uh...

At the hospital.

The hospital? What are you doing there?

Oh, I'm here to...

to get my wounds cleaned.

Oh, really? So where are you exactly?

Well...

Why? I'm in the parking lot

in front of the hospital.

The parking lot? Great. I'll be there any second.

What?

- Prib! - Where are you?

Prib!

Prib! Hey, Met! Keep a lookout for me!

- Oh, shoot! - Oh, shoot!

Yuth, think it over again. This is super risky.

Met, trust me one more time.

Just one more!

I'm very sure I'll be able to bring back the taste Keaw's looking for.

All right?

Boss, can't you reconsider this?

This is way too risky.

You have to trust me, Met.

Help me again.

If I fail this time,

I'm going to give up.

Well,

all right.

Thanks so much.

Can we go now, kid?

Oh, sure.

Let's go.

But you have to give me a promise.

You have to bring him back in one piece...

We're in deep trouble.

How are we getting back then?

First of all,

we'll have to talk to Lek.

Ugh.

Agh!

Hello.

Where is my father?

Ma'am,

I can explain.

(Thongkwan)

Are you okay, sir? We're here.

Why did you bring me here?

You'll find out soon enough.

Over there, sir.

Let's go.

Orn,

please.

Give it a try now, or it might get cold.

Oh, there you are.

So? Is it delicious?

Mm.

oh,

But I don't have money

to pay you right now.

It's okay. You can keep eating.

Why did you help me?

Someone's in trouble. Of course I had to help.

And what are you going to do next?

Isn't the government rounding up people like you at the moment?

I don't know.

I'm actually quite sick of running away now.

Then you should eat your fill.

Think of this place as a temporary shelter.

Once you feel rested,

you can decide what to do next.

There's still a long way to go in this life.

Here. Have some refreshing water.

There really is

still a long way to go in this life.

Thank you very much.

This Khanom Sai Sai

is the best I've ever tasted.

My grandma will be very happy.

I've brought you the money

for the desserts, U-rai.

You're off the hook this time, Yuth.

Keaw is back in one piece, ready for his surgery.

Sure.

Thanks so much.

Without you and Prib tonight,

I'd be a bad shape.

Right. He'll be able to get surgery tomorrow without a worry.

Mm. Anyway, let me know how the surgery goes, okay?

Okay. I have to go now.

Sure. Bye.

Good thing Lek's okay with this,

or you'd be spending the night behind bars.

That's why I let you and Met hold the fort and talk to Lek

because I was sure

both of you would succeed.

Right.

And...

what did you do

to bring back the taste?

Drink this.

Thank you.

- Mm! - See?

We missed that this afternoon.

Excuse me?

The experience of taste.

See? Even water is refreshing to you.

Uh-huh.

Keaw said that at the time,

he was running for his life, right?

So I thought what we missed this afternoon

was the sensation of exhaustion,

excitement,

and love.

Huh?

All of these emotions combined together

became Keaw's taste of Khanom Sai Sai that day.

It's a unique taste that even freshly-made Khanom Sai Sai

or one that follows the recipe to a tee

can't recall.

So I reenacted the event

to invoke all Keaw's emotions on that day.

And the Khanom Sai Sai

came to life again like in his memory.

So? Was I good?

Mm.

I think I want to know you even better now.

Seriously,

from now on,

you can tell me anything

that's bothering you.

I'm always happy to listen to you.

I...

I'm hungry. Should we find something to eat?

Oh, sure.

I know of a good 24-hour place. You're going to like it.

The hot pot place, isn't it?

Hm? How did you know?

I'm not telling.

I'm your secretary. Why wouldn't I know what my boss likes to eat?

You're such a pain. Come on.

(Thongkwan)

My big sister is visiting.

Can you give the office a makeover at least for a day?

Yod, I want my dad back from his mistress.

I can't accept this job.

I'll help you, Honey.

Why did you refuse to accept Honey's job?

Pribprao is more than an assistant.

- Are you two dating? - Hey, Buay!

I've changed my mind.
