(Mafueng Bakery)

It should be this place according to the map.

Okay.

Should I come with you?

Oh, it's okay.

All right.

Do you mind waiting around for a bit?

Why would I mind?

I've come all this way just to drive you here.

It won't hurt to wait a bit longer.

Okay.

- Prib. - Yes?

Well...

I don't really know

why Yuth suspended you.

But I believe he's got his reasons.

Although

you should know.

I'm here for you.

Mm.

I know that.

Doc,

thank you.

Anytime.

You should go.

I won't be long.

What? Spill it out.

- Hmph! - Yod,

bring Prib back now.

Who am I going to prank if she's not here?

Buay, I told you I didn't fire her.

I just suspended her.

She'll be back after it's over.

That's basically the same thing.

You abused your power

and suspended someone who's like a sister to me.

It's like a coup d'etat of my feelings.

This is getting absurd.

You're with him too, Auntie?

Do you want my opinion?

Ooh.

Do you want my opinion, Yod?

Of course. But...

Not too harsh, okay?

I shouldn't have told you Prib went to help me!

It's my fault!

Punish me instead! Don't take it out on her!

Auntie, I already told you...

I actually ordered premium-grade chocolate from Belgium

specifically just to make Prib her drink!

Who am I going to make it for if she's gone now?

Auntie, I said she'll be back.

Auntie Penn,

it's just the two of us in the end.

Apparently, I'm not included.

All right. I'm sorry.

Okay?

Parcel delivery!

And he didn't ring the bell.

Oh, I'm sorry. The door was...

It was...

There it is. The chocolate has arrived.

Can you sign the receipt, please?

This is sad.

Here it is, Yod!

- What is it? - The chocolate powder from Belgium.

I ordered it especially for Prib!

I don't know who I'm going to make the drink for now that she's gone!

Here it is, Yod.

What? Chocolate?

No.

It's my shirt.

Get back to work.

Go on.

Here it is, Yod!

What now?

It's yours.

What's the matter with the others? They don't look so...

They're missing a certain colleague.

Oh.

I only suspended her.

But these guys are overreacting. There's nothing to it, really.

Anyway, I should go.

Hang in there, Yod.

- Call me if there's... - Your next destination is waiting.

I'll get to it. Bye.

Bye.

Bye, Auntie.

That's her. There's a rumor she stole the class's money.

She probably spent it on the new Blackberry around her neck.

I was in the same class as her last year.

Some of my stuff went missing too.

- Really? - Really.

But the thief wasn't caught back then.

It was her, obviously.

Trust me. She stole it.

We're going to revise the lessons and exercises

that will be on the science exam.

I want you to focus on completing the exercises...

(Thief!)

Matters and their properties...

I think you're probably...

Uh, ma'am?

Yes?

Are you going to order something?

Excuse me.

I'll have one iced chocolate. Less sweet, please.

All right. Would you like any desserts with that?

No, thank you. That's all for now.

That will be 60 baht.

I'll transfer it over.

There you go.

Okay. Just a moment, please.

Uh, excuse me?

Yes?

Is Mafueng here?

I was her friend back in the day.

Oh, you're a friend of hers?

She's in. What's your name?

Uh...

It's Prib.

You can tell her it's Pribprao.

Okay, Pribprao. Please have a seat.

Thank you.

Honey, your friend's here to see you.

Prib?

Is that you?

- Mafueng. - Hey!

What brings you here?

I was in the area, so I dropped by.

You remember me?

Of course. You were well-known back then.

Your order's here.

- Here you are. - Wow!

- Here's the iced chocolate. - Thank you.

And here's a piece of starfruit cake.

- But I didn't order it. - Don't worry. It's on the house.

This is our signature cake.

- Really? Thank you. - That's right.

- Goong. - Hm?

This is Pribprao. She's a friend from secondary school.

I don't think we've seen each other

in like, ten years?

Something like that. Ten years.

Great. You two should catch up.

I'll look after the cafe.

Aw, thank you!

It's not every day you have a friend visiting.

- I'll get back to work. - Okay.

Okay.

Right. How have you been?

Good.

Your cafe's very lovely.

It cost a fortune to get it to this point.

But it's good my husband's an architect.

He helped me.

I see.

Dig in.

Did you make this yourself?

Of course. Starfruit cake, my namesake.

Mm! This is really good, especially the top!

The bottom's nice too.

So?

You like it?

Don't forget to like the cafe's page, okay?

Okay.

How many years have you been running this place?

Almost six years.

That's quite a long time.

Well, can you believe it? Time really flies.

I opened this place when there weren't any other shops around.

Prib?

Are you okay?

Is the cake going bad?

Hm, I don't think so. I just made it this morning.

Actually, I...

I didn't just happen to be in the area.

I meant to visit you today.

Visit me?

I...

I just want to return something to you.

You remember this bag, don't you?

I was the one...

who stole and hid it.

Initially, I was going to

return it to you once everything had ended.

But the money was gone when I went back to get it.

- Then I... - So it was you?

You took it?

Mm.

I took it.

Mafueng, but I...

I'm really okay

if you're going to hate me

now that I've told you or if you...

- Or... well, I deserve it. - It's okay, Prib.

I've completely forgotten about it.

But I feel so guilty.

- Hey. - I'm sorry.

- Prib, - I really am.

Back then,

I wasn't very nice to you either.

We were both kids after all.

I'm sorry too.

It's okay.

Who are you talking to, Mommy?

Nao, this is Auntie Prib.

She was my friend during secondary school.

- Say hello to her. - Hello.

She's my daughter.

Look at her bangs. I cut them for her.

Don't we look alike?

Nao, are you tired from playing with Daddy? You're all sweaty.

What do you want for dinner today?

Your favorite?

I'll have to talk to Auntie Prib first, okay?

- Then I'll cook... - I have to go.

Hey, Prib?

Prib?

What's wrong?

Are you okay?

Here. Use this.

- Are you okay? - Mafueng wasn't mad at me at all.

Can you imagine? She had to leave school because of me.

But today,

she wasn't...

she wasn't angry with me and didn't chastise me at all.

So it made me feel like...

It's okay, Prib. It's okay.

- It's okay. It's okay. - I feel so pathetic.

It's okay.

It's like, what am I doing? Why won't I just move on from it?

I'm sorry for...

It's okay, Prib.

For making you listen to all this nonsense. It's...

It's not a problem at all, Prib.

Take it easy, okay?

We should go. I'll give you a lift.

Okay.

Prib,

it really is okay.

It's time to forgive yourself.

I want to see you being happy.

Mafueng, I...

I'm sorry.

I said it's okay.

Come here.

Mafueng.

I'm sorry!

I'm so sorry!

That's enough, Prib. Enough.

I really want to see you being happy.

Mm!

Mm!

This is so good!

- Is it that good? - Yes.

This is what they call the flavor of life.

You're smiling now.

I guess you're happier now.

A lot happier.

Honestly, Doc.

It feels

like someone removed the Himalayas from off of my chest.

It's like...

Phew!

What a relief.

And what are you going to do after this?

You mean after this?

Mm.

Can we

just chill out here for a bit longer?

I'm talking about your suspension.

Oh.

Well, I'm going to

go back and reclaim my old position.

Like, seriously.

What do you mean?

I won't tell you.

I think you should

because Yuth and I know each other inside and out anyway.

Just tell me. I'll be able to tell if it's going to work or not.

For real?

Of course.

All right.

- I'll give it a bit of practice. - Mm.

- No laughing. - Okay.

Promise?

Promise. Okay.

Promise?

Mm.

Do you really have to stand?

Of course. We have to be serious.

Okay. Five, four, three, two...

Boss.

- I said no laughing! - Sorry, sorry.

What's the matter, Pribprao?

You didn't have to imitate him!

Well, we have to be a bit serious.

- Oh, okay. - Come on. I'm listening.

Five, four, three, two...

Boss.

Hm? What's the matter?

I know what my definition of item retrieval is.

All right. Tell me.

It's...

Hey, Doc! I forgot what I was going to say!

I can't remember it anymore. Sorry.

- Uh, Prib? - Uh, well...

Yes?

Well,

I know what I am to you.

But...

can it be me?

Can I be the person who stands by your side?

I really like you.

Hey, I didn't know there was this side of you.

Like, confessing your feelings.

I don't know what to do.

All right. Let's do it again.

Five, four, three, two...

The side of being Metha?

The doctor who harbors

unrequited love for the woman in front of him?

But I'm not practicing.

I really mean what I said.

Thank you, Doc. But...

I think...

I think I'm okay

with where

you're standing right now.

Because if you get any closer,

I don't think

it would be possible.

I'm sorry.

So,

I'm heartbroken now?

No, well...

I don't know what to say. But...

Do you know I really envy Yuth?

I've always wanted to be like him.

Why would you want to be like him?

It's good to be a doctor. Everyone wants to be one.

You're good-looking, rich, and also clever.

The only reason I want to be like him

is because you have feelings for him.

Come on.

We should go.

I'll give you a lift to where you're supposed to be.

Boss, found it!

Is this it? I found it!

I finally found it! Yes!

Yes!

- Found it! - You nearly died, Prib.

Okay, I won't do it again.

You almost got killed.

Well, I didn't.

What if something actually happened to you?

Do you know how bad I'd feel?

How did you get here?

I walked over.

And how come you're not at the office?

Are you here for another job?

Do you need a hand?

Have you forgotten you're suspended?

I know I am.

That day, you told me

to find my own definition of item retrieval.

I think I've figured it out.

So that's why I'm here.

Can I reclaim my position as secretary?

I still can't give it back to you.

Oh? How come?

It doesn't exist, Prib.

The definition of item retrieval I asked you to find.

There's only my own excuse

for not wanting you around.

Why not?

I love you, Pribprao.

You're my happiness.

But I still can't...

allow myself to experience happiness just yet.

I won't be able to stand it

if I have to...

see the person I love

risk her life again.

Move.

Hey, what are you playing? Let me see!

- Give it back! - What?

Can't we share?

Huh? Come on! Bring it on!

Sir,

this is not the first time.

If he gets into trouble one more time,

I'm afraid we'll have to suspend him.

I'm sorry on behalf of my son.

Anyway, as his father,

I'll try to teach him the best I can.

But I'd like to thank you and the school for

- giving us... - I understand.

Anyway, please discipline him.

If he's found to be doing such things again,

- we might have to... - Dad,

why did you apologize to the other party?

We didn't do anything wrong.

You believe me, don't you?

Of course I do.

And I also believe you didn't start the fight.

Perhaps

violence isn't the answer to everything.

But he took my Rubik's cube.

You bought it for me.

That's why I got angry.

Okay.

I'm glad

my dear son has a kind soul.

You even care about my feelings too.

You know what, Yod?

Sometimes, to be willing to apologize

or admit fault even though we're not at fault

is also considered a form of courage.

In our lifetime,

it's not necessary to defeat others through violence.

Sometimes,

you can defeat others through apologies as well.

Okay, Dad.

You're still not finished.

Mm. But very soon.

The factory wants the design soon, so I have to pick up the pace.

And what is that?

This?

This is

a box that can change lightbulbs.

Mm.

How?

I can't tell.

Here. Look at this.

This is the finished prototype.

It's very easy.

The lightbulb's in here. We pull this piece off.

Take the lightbulb out.

Turn the box upside down

and attach this part like this.

Put the lightbulb in with the cap facing up.

After that, we rotate the box.

There. See? The bulb's been screwed into the socket.

What do you think? Isn't it cool?

It seems complicated, Dad.

Here. The thing is.

I believe everything isn't always suitable for everyone.

You probably think

changing lightbulbs is easy for me, don't you?

But think about it. If it's your mom,

she might have to find a chair to reach it.

Some people might hold it like this and be scared of shattering it.

Some might be scared of it being hot and so on.

Everyone

has their own thoughts and fears within

which are unknown to them.

So I came up with this idea to design everything

to be suitable for everyone.

Then I'll develop it to its highest potential.

All right?

The buyers are satisfied.

- And the sellers will smile. - And the sellers will smile.

Oh, you.

You always know what I'm thinking.

Oh, wow.

- Can you clear the space for me? - What are these, darling?

- Let's have a break. - Okay.

- You can bring it over. - Can you give me a hand, Yod?

- Perfect timing. - Here it comes, Dad.

She always knows what you want.

Here. Help me make some sukiyaki.

Oh dear.

Mom, I'm hungry!

Good evening. This just in.

- At approximately 7:00 p.m. today, - Mom!

the police at Wang Thonglang Police Station...

- Mom! - received a report...

that Sergeant Major First Class Nirut Prannok was shot dead.

The witnesses at the scene have confirmed

the culprit was Yuthana Preechasirikul,

an employee at a company.

The police have issued an arrest warrant for the murder

of Sergeant Major First Class Nirut Prannok,

a skilled police officer...

- with a future ahead of him. - Hello?

Unfortunately, he ended up passing before his time.

In any case, our team will...

(Son of a murder)

(Your father didn't die, but a police police did!)

(Other people had to die because of your father.)

Let's go, Yuth.

Yuth.

Hey.

Where do you think you're going?

Hey! Stop!

Bring it on!

Hey, stop! Please!

Yod,

what have you been up to? What happened to your face?

It's nothing, Mom.

I tripped and fell over.

Has your dad contacted you at all?

Have there been any letters delivered to the house?

Why did Dad

abandon us, Mom?

He has his own reasons.

Reasons?

What reasons?

Why couldn't he just come out and apologize this time?

Yod,

you have to believe me.

He really didn't do it.

If he didn't do it, then why would he run?

Are you telling me to believe him?

And you've been drinking every day!

Look at you now.

He doesn't know you're dying!

(I want to eat Mom’s sukiyaki.)

After my mom died, I went to live with a relative.

And then my life

got pretty rough.

That is until I started Return Man.

But as I've told you,

I guess I can't

allow myself to be happy

as long as I'm unable to retrieve the truth from my dad.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

But I...

I understand.

Truly.

Like today,

I returned something

to Mafueng.

Initially, I thought

she was probably living a life

that was rather horrible.

On the contrary,

she's living a very good life.

So good. And she seemed so happy.

She even seemed a lot happier than I am now.

She told me to forgive myself too.

Think about it.

Actually,

after all this time,

I've been living my life

full of guilt.

And I didn't allow myself to feel happy either.

I tried

to avoid causing others trouble.

I only thought of other people's well-being

until I forgot to think about my own.

You remember it, don't you, Boss?

You told me to find out what my happiness is.

I've actually given it some thought.

And I think

it's your fault.

You have to take responsibility for making me

want to apply for a job at Return Man.

Huh?

Yes! You have to take responsibility!

You hired me, so you have to help me reach my goals!

You didn't listen to everything I just said?

I did but I don't care. Can't I just feel like working with you?

Happiness should be shared.

Through good times and bad.

And if there's food, then we'll have to share it as well!

I've told you everything, that...

that I love you.

But that's...

That's...

Well, if you're around,

I can't focus on my own goals.

Why can't I?

Because I only care and think about you!

And that's why you can't stay!

No, I want to stay with you! Can't I? I want to!

- But... - I want to work with you!

I'm happy when I work with you!

But I'm vulnerable when I'm with you.

Sometimes...

Sometimes I can't even sleep.

Well, that's your problem.

Prib... Prib, well...

You make me want to be happy.

But just as I've told you,

I... I...

As your secretary,

I'd like to rearrange your life schedule

and give you permission to be happy.

You can be happy now.

Okay?

I love you too!

Welcome back to Return Man.

Can I have a hug?

Are you hungry?

Yes.

Okay. Let's get something to eat.

Food?

- Ooh, maybe not food. - What then?

I want to eat something else.

(The body of #UpperClassGirl was found in her neighborhood.)

(This is crazy! The body was found near my neighborhood.)

(Feeling so insecure. Going outside and afraid of the serial murderer.)

(Terrified that I'll be his next target. #RedClothMurderer)

The office feels so lonely and quiet

now that Prib's not here.

I know, right?

I even got her premium chocolate powder.

This sucks.

Hm?

- Huh? - Hey, everyone.

- Huh? - Prib?

Did Yod let you come back to work?

Indeed.

There's no other secretary who's as beautiful and skilled as me.

- Yes! - Yay! I've missed you so much!

I've missed you so much, Prib!

Enough. Enough. Enough. Get away from each other.

I told you I didn't fire her.

See? She's back now.

You overreacted.

Welcome back, Prib.

"Welcome back, Prib."

Ooh, how long are they going to keep looking into each other's eyes?

Isn't that a little too much?

- Buay. - Y... yes?

Whoa!

Sorry.

Ah, a client's here.

Return man...

Return...

Prepare to...

To...

Auntie! Auntie! I'll get it.

(Two months earlier)

Shoot!

Okay. Should we have sukiyaki then?

- At my regular place? - In my place.

My mom liked to make sukiyaki at home.

It was so nice and warm.

But it's only a memory now.

But you still have me, Boss.

Deputy Governor Adisak was kidnapped yesterday.

Some people went to his house.

And those people were you.

We're being considered as suspects right now?
