(The Family)

You still can't reach the lawyer in charge

of your grandpa's will?

That's right.

What should I do?

Where are you two heading?

I'm going to visit the lawyer in charge of Grandpa's will.

I see.

Is everything all right?

Well.

Drive safely.

Mom.

Prim is on her way to see the lawyer to discuss the will.

(Mom. Prim is on her way to see the lawyer to discuss the will.)

Prim, I'm sorry.

Hello.

I'm here to see Lawyer Jakkrit.

He's on indefinite vacation.

I'm not sure when he will return.

Honey, I'm getting off work.

Pack your bags and meet me at the hotel near the airport.

I got us round-trip first-class tickets for free. Hurry up.

Doesn't it seem a little fishy?

Yes.

Jakkrit.

Jakkrit.

- Jakkrit. - Jakkrit.

Jakkrit.

Oh my gosh.

Jakkrit!

Watch where you are going.

Grandmother.

What a coincidence to have run into you guys.

What are you doing here?

I doubt it's a coincidence.

You helped the lawyer get away, didn't you?

Why would I do that?

To hide the fact

that the will is fake.

Do you think this will stop me?

No way.

I guess I have to make the cowshed

harder to break out of,

as a few mad cows

trying to break loose.

Do you think the cowshed will be strong enough to contain me?

This mad cow

is ready to destroy the cowshed

to discover the truth about the will.

It's fun to fight against a mad cow like you once in a while.

I'm going to tame this mad cow

and make it more obedient,

dear granddaughter.

Seriously?

Is there a temple nearby or something?

Where's the chanting coming from?

What are they doing?

What are you doing?

This monk...

I mean,

our son and I are doing the evening chant.

Would you like to join us?

No.

Don't do this again inside my house. Do you understand?

Mom, are you really forbidding us from meditating?

Our house isn't a temple.

Listen, Chalong.

I asked you to come up with a plan to get our son married.

Have you come up with one?

Not yet.

You couldn't come up with anything?

I haven't even tried.

What?

What have you been doing then?

Hey, Pod.

And you.

You promised to marry Juey if I got your father

to leave the monkhood.

But you haven't done anything to achieve that.

Shouldn't you be trying to win Juey's heart, Pod?

I don't know how. I don't have any ideas.

Mom, I'm trying to calm myself down by meditating.

It will give me consciousness.

Once I have consciousness,

I'll find a solution.

Look.

I'm your solution.

And my goal is to take over your grandmother's money.

Chalong.

Stop teaching him religion.

Instead, teach him how to get a girl.

I don't know how to flirt with girls.

Back then, I didn't have to flirt with you either.

I paid you.

I paid for your meals.

Then you asked me out.

Don't you remember?

Oh my gosh.

What do I do with these two? My head hurts.

Seriously.

Let's do this.

Today,

let's brainstorm

and find a way to fulfill the will.

Chalong, Pod, where are you going?

I'm going to meditate.

I'm going to pray.

Chalong! Pod!

I'm not done talking!

Come back!

Pod.

Are you here to see my mom?

I'm here to see you.

Yai wishes to speak with you about something important.

I heard you want to speak with me.

Yes.

But it's not that important.

Why don't we talk

while enjoying this meal?

Juey.

You said you wanted to have a meal with Pod, didn't you?

Look after him.

Hey.

Didn't you buy this stir-fried tamarind shrimp

for Pod specifically?

Give him some.

He can get them himself

if he wants to eat them.

He's got hands.

Juey.

Honey.

My hands feel very weak these days.

I can't even lift the spoon.

(10,000 baht has been transferred into your account.)

Pod.

Eat up

so you can leave

once you are full.

Thanks, Juey.

But today is a Buddhist holy day. I'm avoiding meat.

"Panatipata veramani"

"sikkhapadam samadiyami."

One must abstain from taking life

and troubling others.

In that case,

give him some vegetables.

I'm fasting, so I don't eat dinner.

What a lucky girl.

You are marrying a monk.

Zip it.

Aunt Yai.

You can just talk to me now.

I have to go home and pray with my dad.

Well, okay.

Here's what I want to talk to you about.

Let's cut to the chase.

Well...

I want to talk to you about

fulfilling Grandpa's will

by getting you and Juey married.

I see.

Listen.

I respect you both.

And I don't have anything against Juey.

To me,

Juey is beautiful and smart.

But I can't marry her.

You know that my goal in life is to become a monk.

Most importantly, she's my relative.

Well.

How about a fake marriage?

Let's do that.

You'll only be married on paper.

You don't need to live with her.

But by doing that,

we would be lying to Grandmother.

And we'd break the fourth precept.

"The fourth precept."

"Musavata"

"veramani"

"sikkhapadam samadiyami."

One must abstain

from lying.

Pod.

Listen.

We wouldn't

be lying exactly.

The will doesn't say anything about

the genuineness

of the marriage.

You two just need

to casually register your marriage.

We wouldn't be lying.

The will doesn't state

that you two

have to live together.

What are you trying to say?

I'm not saying you have to live with Juey

if you two

get married.

Life is yours to take.

You have the freedom

to do whatever you like.

If you wish to become a monk,

then be a monk.

Wait.

You want to become a monk, don't you?

Are you saying

you would let me

become a monk

if I married Juey?

That's right.

But my mom wouldn't let me.

I will help you with that.

If you agree to marry Juey,

I will help you become a monk without your mother knowing.

I can even send you to become a monk in India,

let alone Thailand.

If that's what you want.

"Om."

The Bodhi Tree

is waiting for you to visit India.

Ninety-nine. One more.

One hundred.

Mom.

Are you sure

this plan will get Pod to do what you want?

Didn't you see the look in his eyes when I said I would help him out?

His eyes were sparkling with hope.

You must help me convince Pod.

Better yet, seduce him if you can.

I love boys who grew up with controlling mothers

like Pod.

They are easily manipulated.

After you two get married,

I'll persuade him to give us his mother's inheritance.

Honey.

You are such a smart lady.

I'm so lucky

to have you as my wife.

If you want me to feel as lucky to have you as my husband,

you should work on your intelligence

along with these muscles of yours.

It'd be great if you could help me solve problems for once.

Come on, honey. I'm not that bad.

I support you with whatever you do.

(Joe: Three Robes Monk Supply)

(Joe: Three Robes Monk Supply)

What's your problem?

Why did you send me a link to a store that sells Buddhist robes?

You can order your wedding dress from them.

I see.

Shouldn't you be using this time

to come up with a way to get Prim?

You can't even get her

to look at your face right now.

Listen, Juey.

A man like me

is a rare item.

I'm only playing hard to get

so Prim values me.

Do you understand?

I can find a man like you

anywhere on the street.

I just need to go for a walk.

I would've stepped on you by now.

Juey, I'm not dog poop.

Enough.

I've got enough on my plate.

Don't make it harder for me with your silly fights.

Take care of your duty as soon as possible.

That way, our family will be the first to fulfill the will.

Do you happen to know

what your siblings

are up to?

I'm trying to find out,

but none of them

has made a move.

I'm telling you now

that Joe will ruin your chance

of fulfilling the will.

There's no way Joe will get Prim to like him.

Prim would never marry dog poop.

Juey! Watch your mouth!

Don't worry about that, Juey.

Joe has me by his side.

I'll turn him

into an attractive "oppa".

Dad.

Are you sure you can turn this dog poop into an attractive "oppa"?

"Annyeonghaseyo."

Are you sure you can do this? You better succeed.

If you fail,

I will smash that nose job of yours with this dumbbell.

Where have you been?

I...

I went to take a walk.

That walk to Aunt Yai's house

must have been relaxing.

What did Aunt Yai want from you?

It's 8 p.m.

Why don't we go inside and pray, Dad?

And let's take an oath of silence for a month.

Chalong.

What happens in the afterlife when a child lies to his parents?

The child goes to hell for lying.

Pod.

You shouldn't be a monk

if you can't even abstain from lying.

Aunt Yai offered

to help me

if I married Juey.

What did she offer to do?

She said

she would help me become a monk

if I married Juey and fulfilled the will.

What did you say?

Who does she think she is

to make life decisions for my son?

Don't you want me

to marry Juey and fulfill Grandpa's will too?

Can't I become a monk

- after I marry her? - No.

Stop thinking about ordaining.

Stop it.

I don't care about other people,

but you are my son.

You must do as I say.

Okay.

I'll go tell Aunt Yai

that you turned down the offer.

Don't.

Both of you,

do not tell Aunt Yai

that I know

about her plan.

You must keep it a secret, okay?

What are you planning to do?

My sister is offering Pod a deal

so she can fulfill the will.

I won't allow it.

Listen, Pod.

From now on,

you will spy on Aunt Yai's family

and report back to me

with everything she's planning to do. Do you understand?

It's a sin for him to deceive them.

Our son will go to hell for it.

"Hell" is just a movie title.

No one is afraid of hell anymore.

Pod.

Do not let me down!

Enough with the long face.

We failed to catch the lawyer today,

but I'm sure

there are other ways to authenticate your grandpa's will.

I've been thinking all day,

but I don't see how we can do that.

You look so stressed out.

Look at you.

Your face is all wrinkly.

Let me give you a facial massage to drive away the wrinkles.

Are you sure you are helping me?

- Yes. - Let me return the favor then.

Are you in a better mood now?

You know, I like to look into your eyes

when you smile like this.

You smile with your eyes.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Hey.

You can't touch me.

- Oh. - You are cheating.

No, I'm not.

Prim.

Meet me in my study. We need to talk.

Not you though.

Tomorrow onward, you will be helping me out at the university.

Read these documents,

and I'll get a mentor to train you.

I'm not doing it.

If you don't do it, who will?

It's your duty as my daughter.

Would you like to see our family business close down?

I'm only staying here until we sort out the will.

Once everything's over,

I'm going back to England.

You are unbelievable.

Does it make you happy to see your parents starve to death?

I'm tired of your lectures.

You must hate your parents very much.

That's why you keep finding a way to get away from us.

I don't hate you guys.

You neglect your parents while enjoying a luxurious life abroad.

What do you call that?

Tell me.

When you left,

I didn't mind,

as Paul was still with us.

But in the end, he left us too.

Didn't he?

He took you as a role model.

He saw you abandoning your parents

and thought he could do the same.

You are the reason

our family fell apart.

Just tell me what you want.

If you don't want to work at the university, bring Paul home.

With Paul, at least your mother and I will have someone to care for us.

But if you fail to bring Paul home,

I will do whatever it takes

to make you stay

without giving a care

how much pain it will cause you.

I will do everything

to stop you from returning to that selfish life of yours.

This is the final warning

from your father.

Your maid cleans the room every day.

She organized all my stuff.

- Wait. - What?

Hey.

Someone took my passport.

What?

Take the blanket to Prim's room.

Did you take my passport?

Yes.

Your dad told me to keep it.

Please give it back.

If you want it back,

you will have to fulfill the will.

Only then will your father allow me to return everything to you.

Mom.

I've moved your stuff to the guest room.

Please understand

that we are doing this

because you eloped without our approval.

I cannot let you sleep in the same room as my daughter.

If you feel uncomfortable,

you are welcome to rent a place outside.

Mom.

You always listen to Dad

and Grandmother.

Be honest with me.

Aren't you tired of being controlled?

You know

I'm only obeying them

because they see me as a tenant.

If I don't obey them,

they will kick me out too.

I have nowhere else to go.

This is my only home.

Mom.

Come to England with me.

I'll take care of you.

No.

It will be tough over there.

You were able to live a luxurious life abroad

because Grandpa sent you money.

With Grandpa gone,

do you think you will be able to afford a good life on your own

instead of settling down here?

Are you sure

you are happy here?

Living like this

is better than living the poor life I had

before I married your father.

Prim.

Do this for me.

Don't make me suffer financially during my golden years.

I don't want to be poor again.

Don't cause us trouble.

I'm begging you.

Do this for me just once.

You do your duties really well.

You are a perfect wife

and a perfect daughter-in-law.

But the only duty you fail to fulfill

is being a protective mother.

Prim.

I want to be alone.

Wait.

Why aren't you with Prim?

She's taking a walk.

Do you think

she will help us find Paul?

I think so.

At least, she will be busy finding Paul

and it will postpone her departure back to England.

Anyway,

tell the detective to get us information on Aran quickly.

The more we know about Aran,

the sooner we can get rid of him.

Gosh.

Honey.

Are we being too harsh on Prim?

We are pressuring her.

What are you talking about?

This is best for her.

We want to give her a good life in the future.

To be honest, she should be thanking us,

instead of talking back to us nonstop.

What a brat.

By the way,

we talked about getting someone on our side

to help us with the will.

Have you decided who to approach

between Yai,

Nim,

or Nian?

Grandpa, didn't you tell me

that being with family

is the safest place

to keep you safe and protected?

But why have I never felt safe

or protected here at?

Is this the meaning of a family...

you talked about?

I told you to keep an eye on your brother.

How could you let him go missing?

Paul is in grade 11, not kindergarten.

Stop making me babysit him.

I'm going to college soon. I need time to study.

Thank you.

Go find him

and get lost.

Why don't you keep an eye on him yourself

since you love him so much?

Why ask me to do it?

I'm sick of it.

Me too.

I'm sick of having a troublesome kid like you.

Do you have any idea how much trouble you cause us?

Your brother is missing, and you don't know where he went.

Let him disappear.

I would be happier

if he wasn't my brother.

Honey.

Honey.

Hello.

Officer.

You've found him?

Okay, we'll be right there.

Paul is at the station.

- Let's go pick him up. - Good. Let's go.

Would you be worried about me

if I went missing like Paul?

If you went missing,

I would decide first if looking for you was worth my time.

Honey, don't waste your time arguing with Prim.

Let's go pick Paul up. Come on.

My dear.

If you went missing,

I would decide first if looking for you was worth my time.

Why do you want to study abroad?

Go to a college here

and stay with your family.

We need to watch out for each other.

Don't force me to stay just so I can be Paul's babysitter.

I'm not letting you go.

I'm going anyway.

Prim.

From now on, I'm going to live my life

the way I want.

I'm going to make my own decisions. No one can control me.

Do you think you can afford tuition

if we don't support you?

It's your job to respect and listen to elders.

Don't be such a spoiled and attention-seeking brat.

Tell me.

When are you leaving?

I'll take care of everything for you.

If you happen

to like it over there,

feel free to stay longer.

You have my permission.

Don't spoil her like that.

Prim's our granddaughter. How can she live far away from us?

I've set life paths for all of our grandchildren.

If one disagrees to follow the path, the rest will do the same.

Lady Saisawat.

This place is a home, not a prison.

Everybody deserves freedom in life

to do whatever they want

and go wherever they want.

But I need our grandchildren to stay put

to look after our inheritance.

Who's going to look after our inheritance

if everybody leaves?

One day, our inheritance will be split and passed down to them.

They can use it however they want.

That's not happening.

If your daughter wishes to study abroad,

you must pay for tuition yourself. You can't use the family's money.

Only people who obey my orders

are allowed to use the family's money.

May I sit with you?

Of course.

Here's the thing.

Do you have time

next week?

Let's go on a trip for a week.

After my exams are done,

I have to study for the scholarship exam to go abroad.

You are still determined to study abroad.

Yes.

I'm sorry

I won't be here to look after you.

You are not mad, are you?

Why would I be mad at you?

I'm ready to support you with anything

that will make you happy.

Here.

Look at this.

Pick a place

you like the most.

I'm happy to pay for all of your expenses.

- Do you mean it? - Yes.

Why would I lie to you?

- Grandpa. - Come on.

Thank you so much.

You are welcome.

Give me your hand.

Promise me one thing though.

Whenever

you feel lost

and don't want to be alone over there,

know that

you can always come home.

It's the safest place on earth,

and you will be protected here.

All right?

I will return home

as long as you are here.

Other people will be here too.

What do I do, Grandpa?

Prim.

I might not be a perfect guy,

but I'm good enough to stand by you.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

I will marry you.

No.

I can't do this anymore, Dad.

Am I such a great actor

that you became too immersed in the role?

I'm terrified of your face popping up

when I actually propose to Prim.

It's pointless

to come up with a romantic speech.

Let's just get her drunk and drag her to a hotel. It's easy.

It's easy?

It's easy for you to go to jail if you do that.

Prim isn't the type of woman you meet at a club

who follows your money to a hotel.

Prim is a smart woman.

You need to use your brain

and the feelings

that rush out from your heart.

All right? You must show her

that you are an honest and heartwarming man

who will become a good husband in the future.

If Prim was as smart as you say,

she wouldn't be married to that bonehead.

The truth is

she is a tasteless woman.

And I don't get why Grandpa came up with this stupid will.

It sucks.

Keep it down, Joe.

I believe it's time

you steal her heart

with your attractive charms.

What do you want me to do?

Prim, get out of the way.

Prim, get out of the way.

The brakes aren't working. Get out of the way.

Prim, watch out!

Prim.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Thank you so much for saving my life.

I just followed my heart.

The scene where the protagonists fall on top of each other and kiss

appears in every Thai drama.

And they all end with a happy ending.

Prim, get out of the way.

Prim, get out of the way.

The brakes aren't working. Get out of the way.

- Get out of the way. - Prim!

Joe.

Joe, my son.

Are you all right?

My goodness.

It hurts.

Aran, you bonehead. Why did you pull Prim from the road?

My wife was in danger. Of course, I had to save her.

Why did you jump in the middle of the road?

- I was trying to save you. - Right.

What? Me?

Yes.

Dad, this isn't romantic like you said it was going to be.

But this was how the protagonists fell in love

in the dramas I filmed during my acting days.

Hold on.

The protagonists falling in love?

Don't tell me

you set up the accident so you could be the hero and win my heart.

Only idiots in dramas

jump in front of a car to save a girl.

I'm telling you now. Don't waste your time.

I would never divorce Aran

to marry you.

Come on, honey. Let's go home and watch a series.

Let's go.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I never imagined

that I would be so lucky to welcome you two

to my rathole.

Gosh.

I've been working hard all my life.

I leave for work early and come home late at night.

That's why I never got a chance to visit your place.

But you have got

a beautiful house.

- Really? - Yes.

Why don't we switch houses?

- Pardon? - I happen to hate this house.

I...

I...

Drink some coffee.

This place is nowhere near a rathole.

A little interior design is all it needs, Nian.

By the way, I hear you enjoy baking, don't you?

How do you feel about a new kitchen?

I don't have the money to renovate the kitchen.

I'm struggling to run

the kindergarten as it is.

Why did you tell him?

Look, how about I help you out

with the cost of the renovation?

Just tell me what renovations you guys want done.

Oh my. What has gotten into you, Pong?

I see. Are you pretending to be nice

so you can use me?

No.

Nian, don't put it that way.

Let's just say

we have a mutual benefit.

All right?

Here you go.

Consider it a small gift from us

to you and Namtarn.

But if

you want

ten times the amount of this money,

you will have to help me

stop Nim from fulfilling the will no matter what.

That's all you need to do.

(500,000 baht)

Are you buying me

so I side with you?

Don't put it like that.

I'm sharing my money with you.

Don't let your daughter

marry Pad.

Don't do it, Tarn.

Don't marry Pad.

That's all.

Okay?

And money won't be the only thing I give you.

I promise

to give you and Tarn a life

as good and luxurious as our siblings.

All right?

I'm so touched.

If I help you,

you will get the family's money worth billions.

Yet, you are only giving me 500,000 baht.

How much do you want then?

All of it.

To get my help,

you must agree to let me look after all the family's money.

Are you crazy?

If I could do that,

I wouldn't be needing your help.

If you don't let me look after the family's money,

I won't offer you any help at all.

You are crazy.

I would never let a crazy person look after the family's money.

What an idiot.

You are asking an idiot for help.

You are a bigger idiot.

Are you calling me an idiot?

I'm talking to you, am not I? Fool.

Calm down.

Aunt Lakkana, please take Uncle Pong home.

Let's go.

You have nothing left, Nian.

You're in no place to negotiate.

Mother disowned you. Your husband left you.

An idiot leeched off you.

And a poor man tricked you into marrying him.

You are not just stupid.

You are freaking stupid, fool.

Nian.

I'm an idiot

for trusting jerks like you.

Calm down. Put the knife down.

- Mom. - No!

Why so quiet? Keep insulting me.

Why stay quiet?

Why aren't you saying anything?!

Wait!

Talk!

Do you feel better now?

What would you do if I said no?

I would be extra sweet to you.

- What are you doing? - Prim.

We have a problem.

What happened, Tarn?

My mom is trying to kill your parents.

What? Where are my parents?

They are at my house.

Nian, hear me out.

Pull yourself together. Let's talk it out.

All right?

Now that I've got a knife in my hand, you are suddenly nice.

I guess I will have to hold a knife

when I talk to you next time.

No, Nian, my dear sister. I promise

I won't insult you next time.

"Nian, my dear sister."

You suddenly see me as a sister.

Insult me. Come on.

- Aunt Nian, please calm down. - Prim.

Let's talk it out.

Put down the knife. It's dangerous.

Prim, call the police.

Tell them she's trying to kill us.

Call the police.

Prim, please don't call the police.

Don't get my mom arrested.

What?

- Mom. - Let go.

- Mom, drop the knife. - Let me go.

Let me go, young man.

I said, let me go.

- Please calm down. - Mom.

- Mom, please stop. I'm begging you. - No!

No, save it.

I'm going to ruin their lives.

They will suffer like me.

All of them will suffer like me.

Please don't hurt anyone. I beg you.

Don't beg me.

Don't you see they are trying to take advantage of us?

They think we are stupid.

Scum. You trash.

You dirtbags.

- Why are you helping them? Let go. - Mom.

Please listen to me and stop.

What a shame. You chose not to accept our help.

See you later.

I don't need any help from a terrible brother like you.

Thank you so much for helping me stop my mother.

But please don't press any charges

against my mother for trying to hurt your parents.

Please, Prim.

Tarn, I would never do that.

I know Aunt Nian wouldn't try to hurt them for no reason.

My parents must have done something to upset her.

Do you know

what my parents wanted from her?

Your parents offered us money

in exchange

for my refusal to marry Pad

like the will states.

The will again?

This entire mess is all because

Grandmother's a control freak.

Calm down.

How do you expect me to calm down?

Siblings are trying to kill each other

over that stupid will.

I have to do something about it.

I can't believe Nian.

She's not just crazy, but she's stupid too.

I went to her with a good offer, hoping to help her out.

But look at her.

She's way ahead of herself,

demanding to look after the family's holdings.

Keep dreaming.

What are we going to do

if Nian doesn't accept the offer?

How about this?

Let's talk to Yai.

If she agrees to join hands with us, we will have someone to back us up.

You are telling me to join hands with Yai.

Did you even think before you talked?

Do you think she will help us?

She would never.

Never.

If you can't come up with a good idea, just zip it.

But...

we haven't paid our debts in months.

If you work with her, we'll at least have money to pay off the debts.

Otherwise, your mother will find out,

and the creditors will leave us with nothing.

I'm not joining hands with Yai.

What's going through your head? Paying off our debts isn't enough.

I aim to manage the family's money

and all of the family's business holdings.

I'm never joining hands with Yai.

Everything would be over if only Prim agreed to marry Joe.

What's up?

You've got information on Aran?

Good.

Bring it to me.

It's time I get rid of you, Aran.

(The Family)
