(The Family)

Oh, Lak.

Can you bring me some pennywort juice?

Prim seems heartbroken over her husband's cheating.

You look very happy to see me in this state, Dad.

Of course I'm happy.

If you break up with Arun,

I'd be throwing a party.

Then you'll be disappointed

because it probably won't be happening.

You're still going to give him a chance?

He cheated on you.

He's horrible to you, yet you're still going to love him?

Yes, I'm in love with a horrible person.

I've really fallen head over heels for him.

No matter how much he hurts my feelings,

I'll still love him.

Prim,

I don't think you should be wasting your time

with a man who doesn't value your love.

Then can I ask you something?

Why are you still in love with Dad

even though he has never once valued your love?

I guess your reasons are the same as mine,

and that's why I'm not going to break up with Arun.

All right.

I'll wait and see if your overconfidence

is going to make your life a living hell.

Dad,

has there ever been a single moment

where you wanted to see me happy?

Don't you want to see me smile at all?

Is that why you keep trying to ruin my life?

If you want to be happy,

then you should be listening to me

and doing what I say.

I'm going to do everything to make you live your life here

the way you should've been doing.

I don't care if you're going to get hurt or die

because you're my daughter!

And you should be happy to see your parents living happily!

I don't care if you're going to get hurt or die

because you're my daughter!

And you should be happy to see your parents living happily!

Dad, I got first place in a drawing competition.

Don't you see I had a long day at work? Can you not bother me?

Didn't I tell you to study business administration?

But I like drawing.

I can study art and become a lecturer at your university.

But you have to study business administration

so you can take over from me!

- Darn it! - Dad!

Stop dreaming of doing silly things!

Dad, no!

(Arun)

(Arun)

Should I pack up the artwork and ship it back to Thailand?

There's no need. Just wrap it up.

- I'll take it with me. - Just a moment, please.

Thank you.

Be careful, please.

Thank you.

Hello, Prim?

Are you okay?

I called but you didn't answer.

I'm on my way to the airport.

Hello?

There's a letter for Prim?

That's right. It's addressed to her.

Do you mind coming back to the gallery to pick it up?

There's probably not enough time. I have to hurry to the airport.

I'll send you an address in Thailand.

Can you send it there for me instead?

- Of course. - Thank you.

All of Aunt Nian's maids are new hires?

Yes, the old ones have all quit.

A friend of mine also started to work here not long ago.

When did they quit?

As far as I know, it was after your grandfather's passing.

After Grandpa died?

That's correct.

Don't tell anyone about our conversation today.

I won't.

Prim,

what were you talking about with Nian's maid?

I asked you a question. Didn't you hear me?

I'm looking into Grandpa's death.

What are you trying to find out?

Who the person responsible for his death was.

Was it you or Uncle Thanong?

I heard your argument with him.

Stop whatever you're planning to do

unless you want to see this family's downfall.

Now that you're saying it,

I'm starting to think you're behind Grandpa's death.

I didn't kill him!

Stop saying such nonsense already.

Father?

It wasn't me.

I didn't kill him.

It wasn't me.

I've finished work. I'll come over to see you.

Okay.

Hubby's home!

I've missed you, honey.

Dad's not here. No need to put on a show.

I'm not.

I actually missed you.

It was really lonely

being there without you.

- Lonely? - Mm.

There was always someone visiting whenever I called you.

They were just friends.

But they couldn't cure my loneliness.

It's not the same with you.

Here. I got you flowers.

I'm also going to take you out for dinner.

I'm not available today.

I've already arranged something with Paul.

Then let's invite him and Susan to come and have dinner with us.

Maybe later. You just got back. You should get some rest.

Prim,

are you mad at me or something?

And do you think you've done anything to upset me?

Are you sure no one hurt Prim

and that nothing happened while I was away?

Well...

There wasn't anything!

Really!

Everything was peaceful here.

But I think somethings must've happened

because Prim doesn't seem like she wants to see me

or even talk to me.

She was short with me as well.

She's always mad at me

whenever she behaves like that.

And whenever she's like that,

what kind of things would she be mad about?

Think about it. Think!

Well, she might be hangry.

She's annoyed with the neighbor next door.

Or she might be mad because I'm late.

- That's it? - Mm.

I tried to ask her, but she wouldn't tell me.

Let's cut to the chase.

There aren't many reasons

for people to be mad at each other.

Especially if it's a couple, then the possibilities are only

feeling unappreciated,

being lied to,

keeping secrets from each other,

or gaslighting.

Did you do anything like that? Think about it. Think.

Run, come here!

Come here.

Joe, what's wrong with you? Why did you punch him?

You have to choose between leaving this place

or dying under my feet!

I choose neither. What's gotten into you?

Then I'll pick one for you.

You can just die here.

Run, you dared to kick me!

Ah!

Joe, enough! Stop!

Stop! Ugh!

Help!

Please help!

Ah!

- There's trouble, Prim! - What, Pad?

Joe's going to kill Arun! Come on!

- Prim! - Run!

- You. - Run!

- Run! - Prim!

Joe, stop right now.

Or I'll call the police!

Go ahead! I'm not afraid!

Why are you doing this? What's wrong with you?

Stop trying to act like you're stupid.

We're in a mess because your parents can't make you break up with him!

That's why they had to send Sa to England!

You know about Sa visiting me?

Yes, everyone does!

She does too but didn't do anything about it!

Run has nothing to do with this.

Sa flew over because she wanted money from my parents,

not because Run wanted her to visit him.

I don't care about the reason why.

I just want him to get out of Sa's life.

Stay far away from her.

So our lives can be normal again.

Then go and tell her. Why would you hurt him?

But if he's still here, then Sa won't forget about him.

Everything can only blow over when he leaves.

- You. - Prim!

Run!

Joe, stop right now!

Prim! Prim!

I don't think Joe's going to stop! What should we do?

- He's going to kill Run! - Joe, stop!

Joe!

Stop!

Ah! Ah!

I said stop!

Police? Someone's trying to kill my husband!

Does it hurt?

I'm feeling better now.

- Prim... - We're teaching her a lesson.

Stay out of this.

You must drop the charges against Joe now.

I'm not going to.

He beat up my husband.

I'm going to teach him about responsibility.

He has to face the consequences of his actions.

He fooled you

and spent time with his former girlfriend in secret.

He kept secrets from you

and treated you like a stupid woman.

And yet you still insist on defending him.

That's not what happened.

So why didn't you tell her about Sa visiting you?

Why would you keep it from her unless you want to make

a fool out of my daughter?

- The thing is... - The people who made a fool

out of me were you, Mom, and Grandmother.

You invested so much to make me look like a downright fool.

How much did you spend on your stupid plan?

Prim,

I think you should just stop causing trouble.

How many times have you got everyone in trouble?

Everyone has to stop, not me.

And stop wasting time with these stupid plans already

because even if Run and Sa were still in love

or had been seeing each other in secret,

I don't care.

And if they're still in love,

I might accept Sa as Run's other wife.

The more, the merrier.

Let's merge the families together.

You don't care even if people call you stupid

for being fooled by a man?

No, I don't.

Because it's more satisfying for me

to see people in this family suffer a broken heart.

You truly are insane.

Everyone in this family are all insane.

I'm not behaving any differently from the others.

Come on, honey. Let's go upstairs.

Prim!

Prim,

I can explain about Sa

- and why I had to... - There's no need.

It's not something I should know about.

But you should.

I didn't tell you she visited

because I didn't want you to worry.

I wanted to come back and tell you the truth in person.

That's all you wanted to tell me?

Prim,

I don't care about you and Sa.

Our marriage is a sham anyway.

We're not in love.

We'll have to go back and live our former lives someday.

And it's your right to date

whomever you want.

But you have to wait for a bit.

Once I get my hands on the will,

I'll divorce you right away.

And what if I tell you I don't want to divorce you?

- Let go of me. - I'm not going to.

You have to listen to everything I'm going to tell you.

There really isn't anything going on between me and Sa.

Get off me!

I don't want to hear anything about this woman named Sa anymore.

I've heard about her enough already!

Everyone in the family kept saying you two were together,

slept together, and spent loving moments together!

I don't want to hear anything about you and her anymore!

I want to forget that horrible feeling!

I'm begging you.

Please don't mention this to me ever again.

Because this isn't going to change

how I feel about you.

You and I are still friends.

I'm sleeping in a different room tonight.

I don't want to disturb you.

And I'm sorry for being the reason you got hurt.

I've arrived in Thailand.

Are you mad at me?

Why did you come back without telling me?

Have you gone to bed? Can I call you?

You're in the wrong. Aren't you going to call to apologize?

Huh?

He turned off his phone?

Would you like any coffee?

I'll make it for you.

I'll pass.

But you look like someone who didn't sleep at all.

Should I drop you off at work?

You're going to give me a lift in that state?

I'm sorry for lying to you

and not telling you the truth when I was in England.

I hurt your feelings.

But I stand by what I said.

It's really over between me and Sa.

I have to go to work now.

What are you doing here, Joe?

Tying up loose ends.

I'm sorry for hurting you yesterday.

And you too, Run.

You came up with all of that

just from spending a night behind bars?

I would've sent you there a long time ago

had I known it was such a nice place.

Well, I've been thinking about Sa.

I guess I'll have to let her go since she doesn't love me anymore.

I stand by what I said.

I don't have feelings for her.

I don't care

if you do or not.

I'm thinking I'll pick you up after work tonight.

Let's go out for dinner together.

Consider it an apology

for all of the horrible things I did to you.

And let's consider it a fresh start

so that we can get to know each other better

in case we might have to

spend our lives together in the future.

Do you have a concussion or something?

Why are your thoughts so warped?

Well, I've been pondering over things.

I've caused enough trouble for everyone in our family.

I'd like to turn over a new leaf and become a decent person.

I want to be obedient, fulfill the condition in Grandpa's will,

and marry you.

You can kiss that idea goodbye.

There's no way Prim's going to marry you.

She's my wife.

She might be now,

but we can't be sure of the future.

Whether it's the present or the future,

there's no way I'll marry you.

Are you sure?

I've been looking into Grandpa's death as well.

If you change your mind and want to go out for dinner tonight,

call me.

What did he say to you?

Are you sure, Mother?

Don't you think there's going to be a problem with telling Joe

to use Father's death as an excuse to get closer to Prim?

I didn't tell him the whole truth.

But if you push her into digging everything up,

I'm afraid...

Don't worry, Lak.

Mother and I have it all planned out.

We're going to use Prim's curiosity

to get rid of both Arun and Thanong.

They're parasites leeching off our family.

And how does Thanong have anything to do with this?

Mother doesn't want to put up with someone like him anymore.

She's going to use Father's death

to get rid of outsiders.

Is Yai going to agree to this?

Oh? If she doesn't,

Mother's going to kick both her and her husband out.

And they'll be leaving with nothing.

As for Nim's husband,

he'll probably run away to ordain again soon.

Then there's another.

He'll probably die in prison.

As for you,

if you still want to be a part of this family,

then you should behave.

Are you sure, Pad?

Is Joe agreeing to marry Prim?

It's true, Dad.

Aunt Yai's been happily announcing it since this morning.

She's going to have the invitation card printed soon.

But this is going to land us in trouble.

Mom probably won't let Joe marry Prim first.

What should we do, Dad?

Take it easy. You won't be able to

keep your composure if you're too impulsive.

Sati mato sata matatang.

People who can keep their composure

will always find prosperity.

You'll be thinking straight if you can stay composed.

You seem to be the most composed.

So, does that mean you're thinking straight now?

Have you figured out a solution?

I won't be able to keep up either if you bombard me with questions.

Well then. Should we run away and ordain?

Which temple?

No one wants to let us in anymore.

Your mom got us blacklisted everywhere.

Dad,

I think it's time

the three of us worked together

to defend our democratic rights

and equality in our lives.

So Mom won't be in control of our lives.

That's it, Dad.

You have to stand up,

speak out, and protest.

Don't let Mom force us into getting married.

You're asking me to fight her?

Yes, Dad.

It's time for

a former venerable monk like you

to guide Mom toward dharma

and show her the light at the end of the tunnel.

And that will lead her to heaven.

What are you doing around here?

Oh, honey.

We're discussing dharma.

We're practicing a breathing technique.

Inhale, "Bud". Exhale, "Dha".

Inhale, "Bud". Exhale, "Dha".

Chalong,

get the car ready. We're going to the temple.

Why?

Oh? To move the date of the wedding forward, obviously.

A month is soon enough! Are you going to move it forward?

Even better if it's going to happen tomorrow!

Dad, aren't you going to say anything?

Come on, Dad. Do it.

All right.

Sure. I'll get the car ready.

- Dad! - Dad!

Ugh!

Chalong,

is he really good at this?

How come it's taking him so long?

Oh? Don't you see?

There have been plenty of people asking for him for help.

Everyone,

I have looked into the fates of both your sons.

The most auspicious

and the soonest date for a wedding

- should be in two years. - Huh?

Two years?

Let's stick with this one!

I think not too soon and not too late is good, Mom.

It's there a date that's sooner?

Maybe next week or the day after tomorrow?

Any sooner,

and there might not be a wedding.

It would be a funeral instead.

Venerable Monk,

are our sons' fates unlucky?

If there should be a wedding now, their fates

will interfere with their parents.

They can potentially end yours.

Do you mean

if any of my sons get married now,

their mother is going to die?

Chalong!

I don't think this monk is any good.

How could he just doom me?

He was only warning us.

I think you should at least partially believe in such things.

I don't. Are you crazy? We have to wait for two years?

I'm going to make my sons get married next week.

- Ah! - Oh?

There it is. So? That was close.

I told you. You have to partially believe in this.

- I don't want to be a widower. - Shut up or I'll slap you!

Ah!

Joe's looking into Grandpa's death as well?

Hello, Joe?

Where should I meet you?

She doesn't answer any of my calls or texts.

Don't worry. I'll take good care of Prim tonight.

Where are you going, Arun?

I'm going to pick Prim up.

Don't you like garlic shrimp?

The garlic shrimp here is amazing.

I'm not hungry.

What do you know about Grandpa's death?

But I'm hungry. Let me eat first, okay?

Run, how did you get here?

Well,

I was worried he might be worried about you.

I wanted to prove I have good intentions.

So I sent a photo of you to him

and told him I took you to dinner

and not to a hotel.

Since I'm already here,

let me join you for dinner,

Joe.

Run,

can you go home for now?

I need to discuss something personal with him.

What is it?

I don't think

you two should be fighting.

Let's discuss our matter later.

There's still heaps of time for us to meet.

If it's not a secret, then let's just talk about it tonight.

We're spouses.

There's no need to keep secrets from each other.

Joe, let's talk somewhere else.

I have to discuss a family matter with him.

It has nothing to do with you.

Can't you just go home for now?

Come on, Joe.

Hey.

Didn't you hear what she said?

It's a family matter.

Outsiders can stay out of this.

Don't forget to pay for the food.

Prim, let's just part ways here.

Oh? And what about Grandpa's death?

I agreed to have dinner with you because I wanted to find out.

Yes, you'll find out for sure.

But I just remembered I have another meeting with a friend.

So when will I find out?

I'll let you in on it for a bit.

Aunt Nian caused his death.

What are you doing to her?

It's none of your business.

Keep your nose out of it.

Can you two not start a fight?

Prim's my wife.

You have no right to mess around with her.

And what about you and Sa?

Do you understand how I feel now?

Ugh!

Run, can you leave Joe alone?

Prim, you agreed to come with him

to get back at me about Sa, didn't you?

You've got to be joking.

Is that what you really think?

They're two separate stories.

Then why are you doing this?

Prim, if you don't tell me, then I won't let you go anywhere.

Can you just leave me alone?

Prim?

I know you're still awake.

Can I come inside and talk?

I want to apologize for what happened tonight.

Prim?

I'm fine.

You don't have to explain anything. Just go back to bed.

I have an early start tomorrow.

I love you, my superhero Dad.

You should've told me yesterday.

I couldn't sleep at all last night.

I thought my fate was going to end Mom's.

So how did you come up with the plan to trick Mom?

Just a quick one when she was talking to you two.

I had to use her superstition

against her.

Don't tell me

the venerable monk is working with you to help you lie?

Isn't he committing a sin?

No, it isn't.

He spoke truthfully the entire time.

But those weren't your birthdays.

I played the venerable monk

and made him predict the fates of two other people.

Hm.

The branch almost fell on top of Mom.

That was part of your plan as well, wasn't it?

I hired an apprentice for 200 baht.

Whoa. That means you were willing to commit a sin

and defy the Buddha's teaching

just for our sake?

If you two had to spend your lives without happiness,

then the sin would be even worse.

Your mom is starting

to hesitate now.

I think we'll have to find a way

to convince your mom to change her mind

about pushing the dates of the weddings forward.

Did you trick me, Chalong?

- Mom! - Mom!

You knew I didn't sleep well last night. I was trying to

find a way to solve the misfortunes of our sons' weddings.

Don't you feel bad for me at all?

Nim, I do feel bad for you.

But I feel bad for our sons even more

for being forced into doing what they don't want to.

Stop oppressing us already.

We're a democratic family.

Not a dictatorship.

Are you challenging me?

- Fight her, Dad! - Fight her, Dad!

Are you going to fight me?

That's right. I'm going to fight for our sons!

- Are you going to fight me? - Nim!

Are you going defy me?

- You dare to fight me? - Wait...

Mom!

Everyone has to obey my orders!

That's right. Everyone's obeying you.

But you should listen to others too!

- That's right! - That's right!

- We're a family. - That's right!

You have your orders, yes. But are they reasonable?

- That's right! - That's right!

And how are my actions unreasonable?

I'm doing everything for everyone!

You shouldn't say that.

You're only in it for yourself.

You're doing it for on your own happiness,

not ours.

You want your parents' inheritance

because you're worried your siblings might get more.

You're scared of being looked down upon

and of people seeing you as inferior.

I'm not you.

I won't let anyone oppress or insult me,

especially not Yai or Pong.

I have to have more than those two

so that they'll stop looking down on me!

Nim, ever since I married you,

I've never seen anyone look down on you

except yourself.

You think you have less and are lower than others.

Can you not project your inferiority complex

on our sons and make them take responsibility for it?

So? They're my sons!

I can do anything or force them into doing whatever!

I tired myself out raising them!

It's time they both paid me back by doing what I want!

If I'd known

you gave birth to our sons

so that they could grow up to pay back your gratitude,

I wouldn't have let you have them.

Any parent would've agreed with me!

But not me.

I wanted to have kids because I love you.

I want them to be a representation of our love.

We helped each other take care of them and raise them

so that they could grow up

to live happy lives.

That's all a father like me is capable of thinking.

Look around you.

We live under the same roof.

Is there even a single soul

who stands by your side?

The patience of a human

is limited.

I don't want that day to come.

The day I and our sons

walk out of your life

and never set foot here again.

Are you threatening me?

It's not a threat!

- Are you threatening me? - Mom!

- How could you? - Mom, stop!

- Stop! Stop! - I love my sons!

Stop!

I'm sorry

for realizing and fulfilling my duty as your father a bit too late.

That's why both of you have been suffering from

your mom's constant pressure.

It's not your fault, Dad.

The root cause of everything is Grandmother.

But I'm glad

you tried to stand up for us today.

But I don't want you and Mom to fight to the point you break up.

Actually,

Tarn and I have discussed

our marriage.

We're going to get married like Mom wants.

How come?

I feel sorry for Tarn.

Aunt Nian is always physically abusing her

just to threaten me.

She said if I call off the wedding,

she's going to beat Tarn up.

I don't want that for Tarn.

Her life is already enough of a tragedy.

Her dad left her,

and her mom sees her as something she can take out her frustration on.

I feel sorry for her too.

Once we get married,

I'm going to move away from this place with Tarn.

We'll live our own lives.

At least we won't have to put up with this family.

It's good

if that's what you want to do.

But I don't think

it's a good solution.

Yes, Dad.

I know that.

But I feel so sorry for Tarn

and myself for having to put up with this family.

If only Uncle Thanapon

had taken Tarn with him

when he left Aunt Nian and got remarried.

Then she wouldn't have to go through all of this.

That's right. Uncle Thanapon is so selfish!

Why did he leave her to suffer in a living hell like this?

Pad.

At the time, it was necessary for him to do so.

I believe

once he's ready,

he's going to come back to take Tarn with him.

She's his only daughter. He loves the most.

He's willing to do anything for her.

You know

where Tarn's dad is?

Can you tell him

to get her out of here?

Please?

Please, Dad!

I'm here to visit an inmate His name is Thanapon.

Of course.
