(Present The Family)

(The Family)

Oh dear.

Have I been tricked by you two for months?

Has my built-in lie detector run out of battery?

Is that why I wasn't able to detect your lies?

I'm a good actor, aren't I?

An excellent one.

You were so good I actually thought you two were in love.

Arun looked as if he was really in love with you

when he defended you. None of it looked fake.

It's probably because we're very close.

We always did things together when we were in England.

We even slept in the same room when we were drunk.

That's why we're used to looking after each other. Isn't that right?

Mm. That's right.

I really enjoy looking after her.

Please, Pad.

Please don't tell anyone,

or my plan to deal with the people in this family will fall through.

Okay.

By the way, if the plan were to take years to come to fruition,

wouldn't that mean he'd be stuck with you forever?

I can handle that. Whether it's years or decades,

I'm happy to be her fake husband.

Why are you joking about this? Stop it.

I'm having a serious conversation with Pad.

Joking? Well...

I didn't want you to be stressed.

I didn't think things would be dragged out for this long at first.

We were going to leave after introducing him to everyone

at Grandpa's funeral.

I didn't expect to get caught up in Grandmother's silly will.

Wow.

How tight are you two as best friends?

How come you're so willing to do this for each other?

Anyway,

please keep this a secret, Pad.

Once the will's been dealt with,

you won't be forced to get married either.

Well, I wasn't planning on telling anyone anyway.

Should I just bury it and step on it right here?

Thanks so much, Pad.

Anyhow, you two do seem suitable for each other.

Once this blows over and you actually get married,

I'll be rooting for you.

Are you crazy? I'm not going to marry my friend.

Are you sure you don't want a lovely husband like me?

Stop acting so silly. He'll misunderstand us!

Stop fooling around!

Come on!

Are you sure you're both faking it?

I think it's getting a little too convincing.

Prim, are you stressed about me?

Quit fooling around.

Pad already misunderstands us.

This is all your fault. Our secret has to...

Have you forgotten about your dad's hidden camera?

That's true. I forgot.

Your dad's watching.

He's probably wondering

what you meant by "our secret".

This is all your fault.

That's why Pad misunderstood us.

And there's our sham marriage too.

It's not entirely my fault.

It's yours too.

You got angry with me and Sa all of a sudden.

I told you. Things between me and her

ended ages ago.

Right now,

she's only

a friend to me.

There's no way we'll go back to what we used to be.

Do you understand?

What's with you?

I'm going to Prim's room.

I'm going to ask what the secret is about.

Then she'll realize we've been watching through a camera.

I won't be able to sleep if I don't find out what they're up to either.

You can just watch it here on the phone.

Come on.

I'll turn the volume on full blast.

What are you doing?

I'll divert their attention from the secret to something else.

Honey, I haven't seen you all day.

I've really missed you.

I want to hold you, and I want to...

- Did you really miss me? - Very much.

Aw!

Honey, calm down!

I'm going to swallow you whole.

Hey, I'm not Food!

Then why do you look so tasty?

Ooh!

- Where are you going now? - To pray, maybe?

To stop them of course!

It'll be all over for us if Prim gets pregnant!

Calm down, Pong.

If you go and Prim gets upset

and leaves for England, no one's going to help us pay off the debt.

I can't do this, and I can't do that!

Ugh! I'm not going to watch them anymore!

Bed!

Ugh!

Did you just come back from a night out?

Well, I mostly spend my time at home.

It's boring, don't you understand?

If it's that boring, then get a job.

No.

Why should I wear myself out for no reason?

If I worked my butt off,

I'd only earn some chump change in return.

We both know your Grandpa isn't sending you money anymore.

Aren't your parents loaded?

Why don't you go home and ask them for money?

Why bother working?

Go to bed if you're drunk.

Ow! I'm not going to bed!

Ugh! I thought you said you'd let me live a comfortable life!

And what do we have here?

We're living in a tiny shoebox!

I don't get to do what I want

or eat what I want.

I've been nibbling on a mango seed!

We're living like beggars.

I don't want to live like this either.

But my grandpa's gone.

Where else can I get money from?

Ask your parents.

Don't you have a house to go to as well?

Why don't you go then?

Why would you put yourself through this?

I'd rather put up with all this

than go back to that house.

You can put up with it.

But I...

I'm about to reach my limit living in squalor with you.

Do you understand?

And I don't have much patience left at this point!

Paul?

Paul. Get up.

You'll be late for school. Go on. Get in the shower.

- Go. - Aw, Mom!

I don't want to go to school today.

You have to. Your dad won't let it slide.

Come on now! It's late!

You still need to shower.

You've gotten heavier. Come on.

No.

Let me skip school for a day.

- No, and you're already late. - Just one day.

No, get up now. Come on.

Please?

No.

- Mom. - No. Come on. Get up.

Please?

Ugh!

I'll only let you skip for a day, okay?

You have to go tomorrow.

Thank you.

Paul,

I have a small gift for your birthday this year.

A key to a motorbike!

You got me a motorbike?

You're the best, Dad!

Happy birthday, son.

I'll never marry Namtarn.

Can you stop forcing me, Grandmother?

You must marry her!

You have to be responsible since Prim abandoned everything!

No, I won't do as you wish.

It's the craziest and stupidest idea I've ever heard!

- Ah! - Paul!

- Apologize to her now. - Quick!

I hate this family!

- Paul! - Paul!

You...

Mother, I...

We'll deal with this right away.

(Mom)

(Mom)

Pull over.

Paul?

Grandmother?

Paul!

Huh? I guess he's back in the country now, ma'am?

What's going on, Mother?

(AC Technician)

Have you been in touch with Paul?

No, he's never contacted me.

Are you certain you are not hiding anything from me?

I really don't understand. What's happened?

I met Paul out front moments ago.

Paul? He's back?

He has returned from England, yet you did not know of it?

I didn't, really.

And where is he now?

He ran away once he saw me.

I thought you said you have been sending people to look for him.

So why didn't you know he has returned?

You are indeed useless.

You're completely useless. You can't even find your own son.

I'm deeply sorry, Mother.

You are sorry.

Your apologies irk me.

Stop blathering.

You need to find Paul right away.

And tell me once you have found him.

And do not bring him back to this house.

Why can't he come back here?

There is no need for questions. Just do as you have been told.

Find Paul and hide him somewhere else.

Prim can never find out about this.

If you fail again,

you will be packing your things and moving out of this house.

I will order Pong to divorce you.

Paul's in Thailand?

And why does Grandmother want to keep it from Prim?

Paul came back to the house?

That's right.

Grandmother spotted him at the front of the house,

but he ran away as soon as he saw her.

Everyone wants to run away from Grandmother.

Paul disappeared for almost two years without a trace.

So how can I get in touch with him?

If he's been meaning to come home, he'll find another chance to do so.

He might contact you

if he doesn't want to face your grandmother.

He hates me to the bone.

There's no way he'd contact me.

He'll probably contact Mom instead.

If that's going to be his decision,

then you won't get to see him.

Why not?

I overheard Grandmother ordering your mom to look for him

but to hide him and not bring him home.

That way he won't get to see you.

Grandmother doesn't want me to see Paul?

How come?

I know, right?

I want to know why as well.

You said she wants her children and grandkids to be together again.

But why doesn't she want Paul to come home?

Maybe it has something to do with the will?

How?

There isn't a condition in the will

stating that Paul has to marry someone.

Grandmother might be worried the other grandkids might use this

as an excuse if Paul returns.

I don't think that's the case.

A power tripper like Grandmother won't listen to anyone anyway.

I don't think that will be a problem.

But why doesn't she want me to see my brother?

I don't know.

Why are you trying to stop Prim from seeing her brother?

Who caused you to be in such a foul mood again?

Mom and Dad.

They keep talking about me getting engaged to Namtarn

before going back to England.

I wouldn't have come back

if I'd have known what was in store for me here.

I'd just run away like Prim did.

You want to run away like your sister?

Are you sure you'll be able to look after yourself,

earn a living, and support your education?

Of course I won't be able to.

I'm hoping you'll support me.

Oh?

Can't you stop Grandmother with the marriage?

You can't let her force such a thing on her grandkids.

She wants to control our lives so much.

Sometimes I wonder if our lives belong to us or her.

Here.

I've got my hands on some chamomile tea.

They say it helps alleviate stress.

Ow!

It's still hot, Grandpa!

Of course it is!

That's it.

It's because you're hot-headed.

Next time, you have to keep a cool head

and see if the tea is hot or cold.

If you wait for it to cool down, you'll have the perfect tea.

You have to take it easy and wait for me.

Wait for you to do what?

I know about all of my grandkids' problems.

I'm trying to find a solution for everyone.

What kind of solution?

If I tell you, then can you promise

you're going to keep it secret?

- I promise. - Good.

Here.

You made a will forbidding Grandmother from forcing everyone?

Indeed.

I wrote in the will that everyone has the right to live their life

without having to answer to anyone.

And all of you will finally get to live the way you want to.

- You're awesome, Grandpa. - I know, right?

Yesterday, when we went to see Paul off at the airport,

what did you two talk about?

I saw you two whispering.

Well, it wasn't anything important.

I just told him to study hard

so he can come back to help us out soon.

If it wasn't important, why did you have to be so secretive?

I told him

that if he found a girl while he's over there,

he should bring her back and introduce her to me.

If Paul finds someone significant in England,

I probably will not find it problematic.

But if he brings her back as a member of the family,

I am afraid that will not be acceptable.

I guess I won't find it acceptable as well

if you still insist on forcing our grandkids to marry each other.

This is for the sake of our family.

When will you finally understand my good intentions?

The grandkids will be marrying within the family

in order to protect the money we have earned

so that no one else will be squandering it away.

Lady Saisawat,

you shouldn't be worried about our family running out of money.

You should be worried

about us running out of love instead.

Right now, the love we have for each other

is almost completely gone.

Yai, Pong,

Nim, and Nian

were all taught to compete against each other by you.

And now they've almost forgotten they're brothers and sisters.

Our grandkids have also inherited the behavior.

I'm not going to let you destroy our family.

It's still not too late for you to stop everything here.

And what if I refuse?

What are you going to do?

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Huh?

What are you doing?

Why did you ransack my study?

Where is your will?

How did you know I've made a will?

Who told you?

There is nothing in this house that I do not know about.

Where is your will? I would like to see it.

I'm afraid I can't let you.

The contents of the will is going to be revealed in everyone's presence

only when the appropriate time comes.

Only when the appropriate time comes?

And what time would that be?

When you have died?

I have been constantly trying to find that will.

But I do not know where it is.

I think the person who knows of its whereabouts

is Paul.

You've been trying to find him because of the will?

Indeed.

If Prim finds him first and gets her hands on the will,

then all of my efforts will be in vain.

That's right.

He's working as a food delivery person. His name is Paul.

Anyway, if your delivery person friend

knows him or hears anything about him,

just let me know.

Thanks so much.

- Run. - Oh, Sa?

Are you here for a photoshoot?

No, I came to see you.

I know Toh, the guy you're working with today.

So I came here because I wanted to see you.

You wanted to see me?

What's the matter?

If I tell you I've missed you,

would you believe me?

(Joe)

(Joe)

I've missed you as a friend of course.

Are you doing anything else after work?

Do you want to come and have dinner with me?

I have something I'd like to discuss you.

But you were with Prim that day,

so I didn't want to talk about it.

I'm going to be honest, Sa.

Prim wasn't very happy

I came out to meet you.

If it's not that important,

just call me.

Prim's jealous

because I'm your ex?

(Joe)

You should get that.

The person who's calling probably really wants to talk to you.

Let's arrange a meeting later.

I'm sorry

for causing trouble between you and Prim.

Would you like me to clear things up with her?

It's okay.

Anyway, I have to get back to work now.

Your mom's calling again?

You haven't gone home for days.

Maybe you should sometimes.

Your mom probably misses you.

She doesn't actually miss me.

She just wants me to come home because of other things.

I'd rather be with you,

the woman I love.

What?

You don't want me to be with you?

Yes, I do.

But I just don't want your mom to misunderstand me.

If she finds out you're with me,

she's going to hate me even more.

I'm just worried it'll complicate our future even more.

Or maybe

you haven't been thinking about our future at all?

Come on, Sa.

My future

is to spend my life only with you.

Don't try to butter me up.

Your mom doesn't want you to marry me anyway.

She only wants you to marry your relative.

I guess I can only be your mistress.

I will never let that happen to you.

If you want me to believe you,

then can you introduce me to your family?

Why not? I thought you said you loved me.

If you love me, then you have to prove it to me.

It's actually good to see you hesitate.

I guess I'll have to move on from you

and start over with someone else so that I can finally forget you.

Please don't say that, Sa.

You're always important to me.

I won't lose you.

Please hang in there for the sake of both of us.

I have to go to the bathroom.

Do you think it's possible

Paul might know something

about your family's will?

Maybe that's why Grandmother doesn't want you to see him?

Why do you think so?

I've been thinking about it.

Paul's the only person Grandmother didn't force into marriage.

It might be because he knows something about the will.

That's why he wasn't forced to do so.

Hm. You do have a point.

I'm a clever husband.

Aren't you proud?

What a coincidence.

Are you out for dinner with a lady?

No, I'm just having dinner with a friend.

I guess they must be very special.

That's why you brought them to such a romantic place.

Who I'm having dinner with is none of your business.

Keep your nose out of it.

Joe and Run know each other?

Aren't you two here for dinner?

Go on then.

Why are you being busybodies right now?

My gut's playing up. I'm afraid I'll have to go home.

I'm hungry. Let's find something to eat.

Let's not disturb Joe and his very dear friend.

Who are you looking at?

Did you plan to take your ex out for dinner too?

- No, I didn't. - I saw her just now.

Where? I don't see her.

You're so jealous your eyes are playing tricks on you.

Well, it's only natural. You have a hot husband.

Mother?

Where's Paul?

At work. He's not home yet.

By the way, how did you know we're living here?

You don't have to know.

It's actually good Paul's not here.

I'll be able to get this over with quickly.

What do you want to have a word with me about?

Three million

and get out of my son's life.

You always do this every time we see each other.

Well, I have to be a good mother

to keep any pests or parasites away from my son.

I refuse to accept it.

I guess I'll have to be a good wife

who takes care of her husband as well.

You have the gall to call yourself a good wife.

Look at the state you two are living in.

Ever since you came into Paul's life,

he's had to go through so many hardships.

I think you should just hurry up and leave my son

while I still feel like being kind to you.

No.

Paul and I are in love.

I have to be wherever he is.

Are you sure that's your final decision?

I'm sorry, Mother.

But you can't separate us.

Ugh, it's so warm.

Is there anything to eat?

No, but your mom just came by.

Would you like to have breakfast with me?

I already ate with your dad.

I haven't seen you much lately,

even though we're living under the same roof.

You want to see me?

I thought you only wanted to spend time alone with your husband.

Mom,

my work at the university has settled down now.

I'm thinking I'm going to sort out Paul next.

What are you going to do?

Well, I'm going to find him

and convince him to come home.

Do you know where he is?

How should I know?

Do you think it's possible he's back in the country?

Why do you think so?

He probably heard about Grandpa's passing

and came to the funeral without our knowledge.

You don't have to worry about Paul.

You're tired enough as it is helping your dad.

I'll deal with Paul myself

because I want him to come home as well.

If you know where he is, please tell me.

All right. I'll tell you once I know.

Hello?

Hello, Prim. It's me, Paul.

Mm. What's up?

I want to see you.

But can you not tell Mom and Dad about me?

All right. I'll see you later then.

Okay.

I have to go now. I have to go to a meeting.

Uh, Prim.

But you have to tell me as well if you find your brother.

I will.

Prim.

Paul? When did you come back?

After Grandpa died.

And why did you just get in touch?

You dropped off the radar for nearly two years.

Do you know how worried we were?

Are you worried about me or about yourselves?

Mom and Dad are only worried they might set off Grandmother

and get cut out of the will.

And you're only worried that if I weren't home,

you'd have to come back in my place.

That never crossed my mind.

So why didn't you come back before?

Why did you abandon me and leave for England alone?

Let's all calm down.

You haven't seen each other in a while. Let's not argue.

And

where do you live right now?

I'm renting a place with my girlfriend.

You've been living with Susan?

What about your kid?

Susan had a miscarriage a long time ago.

It's such a big deal! Why didn't you tell me or Mom and Dad?

Why would I bother?

No one in our family wanted my baby to be born anyway.

Do you really not remember

Mom and Dad forced me to break up with Susan

and told her to get an abortion?

My life is like a living hell.

I lost my baby and almost lost Susan as well.

If Grandpa didn't find me,

look after me, and send me money,

Susan and I would've ended up dead in England!

I'm sorry

for not helping you at all back then.

I let you face your problems alone.

If you're really feeling guilty,

then you have to help me.

I need some money.

I'm going to move somewhere else with Susan.

Where are you running away to now, Paul?

Come home, okay?

You can bring Susan with you. All right?

Mom went to see Susan yesterday.

She pulled the same old trick.

She tried to bribe Susan into leaving me.

Mom's already found you?

If she's hiding this from you,

then our suspicion about him knowing about the will

is probably true.

What will are you talking about?

If you want me to help you run away,

then you have to help me first.

What do you want me to help me with?

Oh? Are you looking to rent a place?

This one's vacant. Are you interested?

What about the former occupants? Where are they now?

They've moved out.

They've moved out?

- To where? - I don't know.

It's such a nice place. What a relief.

I thought I'd die in a shoebox.

Thank you, Prim!

I've paid the rent six months in advance.

As for your and Susan's living expenses,

I'll send some money over to you.

And this condo belongs to my friend.

I've told him to tell security

to say there's no one named Paul if someone comes looking for you.

Once I can find a new place to live and a new job,

I won't bother you anymore.

You can stay here. There's no need to go anywhere.

I'll bring you home once it's time.

I told you.

I don't want to go back to the prison you call home.

I don't want Grandmother and our parents to force me

into getting married and following orders again.

I'm going to sort everything out before I bring you home.

I'm going to deal with the elders and their crazy ideas

and stop them from interfering with our lives again.

You're saying like it's such an easy thing.

Look at your own life.

You brought a husband home

but aren't you being forced into divorcing him as well?

What are you going to use to deal with them?

Grandpa's original will, obviously.

Grandpa's original will?

Wasn't the one revealed to everyone after his passing the original?

I reckon it's fake.

You know it, don't you?

Grandpa had always been against Grandmother's idea

of making us marry each other.

I refuse to believe he'd put all that in his will.

I know. But I think

Grandpa was persuaded by Grandmother and gave in.

So he made a new will to replace the old one.

Paul,

you've seen the will Grandpa had made?

Do you know where it is now?

No, he didn't tell me where he kept it.

Your grandpa didn't think of telling anyone at all?

Maybe Grandmother found it and destroyed it?

I don't think she knows where the original is either.

That's why she told Mom to look for you and keep it from me.

See?

Mom's only been trying to look for me because of the will.

She doesn't actually love me.

She's probably worried about you too.

You know she loves you very much,

even more than she loves me.

Maybe she loves me

not because I'm her son.

She might only love me

because I can guarantee she's allowed to stay at the house.

Anyway,

once I've found that will,

Grandmother won't be able to force us into doing things.

And you'll be able to live your old life

and come home.

I'd like to make the decision

as to whether I'm going back

to that house or not.

At first,

I thought once we found Paul,

all of the chaos would be over.

But we're still here going in circles.

At least we know now

Grandpa's actual will does exist.

We only need to find it before Grandmother does.

Hang in there.

Mm.

(Ms. Lakkana)

What's wrong? Why do you have to look so shocked?

What are you talking about?

I'm actually excited.

Has Prim left?

Mm.

Who called?

A friend.

If it's a friend asking you to come and hang out,

then don't even think about it.

From now on, we go out together.

I got out of the shoebox but landed in prison?

Well, if you really don't want to be with me,

should I just listen to my mom then?

Take the money and break up with me.

I'm not going anywhere.

I've turned off my phone. Are you happy now?

No one will be able to contact me now.

The number you have called is not...

She turned off her phone?

Where are they off to?

You've only been tasked with finding Paul.

It's such a piece of cake.

You only had to follow Mother's order,

yet you failed?

I'm sorry.

But don't worry, Mother.

I'll find Paul no matter what.

I'm going to bring him to you.

Have I not warned you

that if you failed this time,

I will no longer keep you here?

Mother, I'm so sorry!

Please don't kick me out, Mother!

I promise I won't fail again.

Please give me another chance.

Please, Mother.

I'm so sorry, Mother!

Mom! What are you doing?

What's going on here?

What did you do to my mom, Grandmother?

I am only standing here. You saw it.

I did not order your mother to do anything.

But I saw her about to prostrate to you.

When someone wants to prostrate another,

it has to be done willingly out of respect.

But in your case,

she's probably been forced by your hunger for power.

- Prim! - If you touch my wife,

I'm not going to let it go easily.

She didn't do anything to me.

I did wrong, so I had to apologize to her.

And how wrong did you do to warrant that?

Tell me, Mom.

I did wrong by not being able to raise my kids properly.

None of them listens to me

and causes trouble for everyone in the family.

Mom!

Mother,

I promise

if I fail again next time,

I'll gladly leave this house.

Heed your own words.

I'll walk you, Mother.

What did she order you to do?

Mom? Mom?

Do you think your mom's conversation with Grandmother

has something to do with Paul?

Mm.

I'm guessing Mom told Grandmother about Paul's disappearance.

And Grandmother probably pressured her into finding him.

And what are you going to do now?

You hid Paul from everyone,

but your mom ended up in trouble.

If she can't find him,

she'll have to leave the house.

Since Grandmother thinks Paul might know about Grandpa's will,

I'm going to use it to mess with her head.

She likes to pressure other people.

It's time she gets a taste of her own medicine.

(The Family)
