Behind the Mask

Miss, sir wants dinner with you tonight.

"See you at the usual place tonight, darling"

"Bang Sai"

Wait. Stop.

Have you noticed something?

It doesn't fall no matter how hard you get smacked.

Natda Cosmetics is having a promotion for false eyelashes today!

It's Buy 10 Free 1!

You get free eyelash glue for every 10 boxes of false lashes purchased.

Pay before Friday and get it by Monday.

If you want beautiful eyelashes like me,

please place your orders here. Always come to me for good stuffs.

Natda, are you okay?

Are you tired?

You need to live stream, pack and post the goods...

and even review products.

You're working so hard to pay off my debt.

Mom, I'm not tired.

Your debt is only slightly over one million now.

I really shouldn't have done it.

I shouldn't have used our house as collateral...

to get a bank loan to set up a restaurant.

Look at how broke we are now.

Mom, it's okay.

I got to save on food back then...

because I ate in your restaurant every day.

Thank you, mom.

Without you helping me out every day,

I'd burn out.

Thank you for working so hard for me.

Don't mention it.

Can I get a hug too?

Din, you came at the right time.

Let's eat together.

Okay.

Here comes what you need.

-Here you go. -Is that pepper?

Yes.

Thank you, assistant chef.

No problem.

What will happen to our head chef...

if she doesn't wear her false eyelashes for one day?

False lashes are like my oxygen. I can't live without them.

They are too long.

-Mom. -Yes.

Do I have to put a lot?

Just two tablespoons.

-Okay. -I don't want it to be too spicy.

Mom, does your tooth hurt again?

Yes.

Do you want to go to the dentist?

I'm fine. Dentists these days charge a lot. I'll just bear with it.

But if it's really bad, you must go.

No. I'm fine. It's bearable.

I feel much better now.

When can we be rich like others?

Don't worry. I'm delivering the goods tomorrow.

I hope the customer buys a lot from me.

Please buy a lot from me.

Please.

I pray for that too.

I heard you're going to Map Ta Phut tomorrow.

Drive safely. It's dangerous on the road.

I'm worried.

Thank you.

La Belle is having a live stream two hours later.

I can't miss that.

This is bad, Natda.

I'm sorry, sir! I didn't mean it! I'm sorry!

I didn't brake in time.

I was too focused on finding my way.

I came from another province.

I'm unfamiliar with this place.

Sir.

Your car looks expensive.

You've premium insurance, right?

I only have basic car insurance.

I'm from a poor family. Even my mom has to work.

What should I do?

Chai.

Yes.

-Is it serious? -It's just a scratch.

Then never mind. Let's go. Stop wasting time.

It's okay. My boss doesn't mind.

Really? Thank you so much!

Thank you very much!

Rich, kind and cute!

Mr. Ratt, can I take a picture of you?

Sure.

-I need to go. -Okay.

-Did you get it done? -Yes.

-Bring it over. -Okay.

Ratt.

It's not starting yet, right?

Not yet.

What's the matter?

Smile. The reporters are here.

Lookkaew.

Smile.

Lookkaew.

Wait. He'll be here soon.

He's always late.

Dad.

You finally showed up.

If you call, of course I must come.

Alright. Let's go.

Wait, dad.

Dad, can you transfer one million to me tonight?

One million?

One million.

You've spent almost two million this month.

How could you ask for one more million?

I'm a famous model now.

No matter where I go, people recognize me.

I can't be seen in cheap clothes.

That'll ruin dad's reputation.

Petch, we agreed to keep your allowance...

at one million per month.

So, you've no quota left for this month.

In this case,

we'll do as Riya says.

You've no quota left.

But dad, that's your money.

How can you let this woman decide for you all the time?

Petch, please be respectful.

She's your mom and my wife.

Let's go in.

Let's go.

We're late.

-Hello. -They're here.

Mr. Pingpan here.

Mr. Pingpan, can we take a picture of you?

Sure. Let's take a picture.

Lookkaew.

Please look this way.

Please look this way.

Mr. Pingpan, do you plan to run the office?

Why are you asking?

I'll answer this question...

when the time is right.

Alright. It's about to start.

-Can I take a few more pictures? -Sure.

You've taken many pictures of our family.

How about a picture of me and my husband only?

Petch, you can look around.

Alright. There's food over there. Go.

Please look this way.

In my opinion, it's more about experience.

But to me,

I don't think it's beyond my capability.

Dear guests.

Are you ready to behold Acharapat?

She took part in Dr. Goson's transformation project.

Dr. Goson is La Belle's top beautician.

How much has she changed in just three months' time?

Let's take a look.

Behold!

-Beautiful. -I'm flattered.

You're incredible.

Thank you.

It's like she's another person.

She's reborn.

Alright.

This is just one of La Belle's numerous projects.

La Belle's beauty concept...

is developing beauty in a healthy way.

The person who came up with this positive idea is none other...

than the president of La Belle,

Rachawadee Mongkolsilpa!

Hello.

As you all know,

La Belle has been around for 30 years.

La Belle Complex has been known to be...

a famous and popular...

Thai beauty institution.

In this era,

people are getting more and more concerned about health.

This is why I founded La Belle Complex.

For beauty and good health.

La Belle Complex is a corporation...

that owns and runs several beauty institutions, beauty centers,

fitness centers and luxury seaside condominiums.

Presently, the net worth of La Belle Complex...

is five billion THB.

With our new project in Phuket, the world-class resort city,

Le Belle Complex is bound to have a bright future ahead.

I'm sure we're worthy of greater investments.

Mom, the founder of La Belle is so young.

Let me see.

-Look. -We've advanced equipment...

for skin therapy.

That's Madam Dee.

Madam Dee never grows old.

You know her, mom?

Yes. I used to work for La Belle.

I was a nurse there.

You're right. I forgot.

Then why did you resign?

After your dad's passing, I had to take care of you alone.

So, I moved back to your grandma's house to look after you.

Mom, you should have...

left me with grandma.

If you're still working for La Belle today,

I'd be able to get a face job.

It's Ratt!

Ratt, say hello to the fans.

Hello.

-Mom! -What is it, Natda?

Mom!

This is the guy I banged into this morning!

He's so good-looking.

Mr. Ratt is the heir of the famous...

local insurance corporation, Longtap Life Insurance.

All these likes are for him.

He's good-looking and rich.

Handsome and rich, he's like Prince Charming.

I must share this on my social media page.

You're so handsome. How can a man be so handsome?

My fans will be so jealous of me because of this selfie with you.

See, my fans?

What's up?

Taking pictures?

See?

We need to stop because Ratt is taken.

Look at me. Let's wipe our tears together.

He's taken.

Stop. Enough of your daydreaming.

Now get back to reality.

Pack and post your false eyelashes and pay off your mom's debt.

Good daughter, do your best!

That's my girl!

Excuse me.

Show them the way.

Yes. Please come with me.

I'll be there in a while.

-Aunt Dee. -Yes?

Where's Lookkaew?

She's missing again?

Where did she go?

Okay. I'll send someone to look for her.

It's okay. I'll look for her myself.

Okay.

Lookkaew, let's get a room with a bed.

We're in the middle of an event. We can't leave yet.

Then where should we do it?

You're crazy. This was my dad's office.

But it's okay.

You're here.

You're the only one who knows what's on my mind.

I know you come here often.

After my dad died,

my mom turned this place into a storeroom.

Lookkaew.

Aunt Dee moved the office in order to renovate the building.

You always find excuses for my mom!

Lookkaew.

Your mom isn't that bad.

Our guests have arrived. Let's go.

I'm only doing you a favour.

Let's go.

Mr. Pingpan, let me introduce the penthouse to you.

Each unit cost only 50 million.

Do you want it?

It looks great.

Fifty million.

For a seaside condo in Phuket, it's not considered expensive.

-Yes. -Right.

Dr. Goson.

Can I get the same chin as her?

I love it so much.

What do you all think?

Geez. I thought you just had an injection.

That was three months ago.

Feel free to make an appointment with me.

Thank you.

Can you fix my nose too?

I think it's too flat.

I think it's okay.

Look closely.

No.

Since I'm the owner of the hospital,

I should have a perfect face.

I'm just kidding.

But nothing is impossible.

Maybe it'll happen one day.

-Excuse me for a while. -Okay.

Lookkaew.

Why aren't you entertaining my guests?

They are your guests, not mine.

Why are you talking to me like this?

-Why can't I? -Okay. Stop.

Please don't argue.

Let's go to that side.

Lookkaew.

Dee, why did you get into an argument with Lookkaew?

She talked back.

If Ratt wasn't there, I'd have taught her a lesson.

Dee.

Don't be so harsh to the child.

Is she your daughter? Why are you so protective of her?

Her father was my boss.

He founded La Belle...

and invited me to join him.

He taught me a lot.

I wouldn't be able to come this far without Lookkaew's father.

You're successful today because of your own hard work.

As for Lookkaew,

there's nothing I can do about her.

But judging from what you're capable of doing,

you should be able to take better care of her.

Goson.

Feeling bad for Lookkaew...

doesn't make you a good person.

I'll call you back.

What?

How could you be so careless?

Why didn't you check?

You must solve this problem asap...

or I'll retract your commission.

What happened?

I received a call from Phuket.

The government is taking back the land.

I told you before.

Seaside lands can't be traded.

The landlord claimed to have a deed.

I didn't know that the deed was illegitimate.

We paid one billion for the land.

I must get the money back at all cost.

Who'd return that much money to you?

I don't care. They must give it back to me.

Because the money isn't mine.

Whose money is it?

You told me that you bought the land with a bank loan.

Who did you borrow the money from?

Who did you get it from?

Mr. Pingpan.

Please look this way.

But I didn't borrow it from him.

He merely transferred one billion to me for safekeeping...

to avoid being investigated.

He doesn't charge an interest.

He doesn't charge an interest?

Why would he entrust one billion with you?

Why?

If you don't tell me, I won't be able to help you.

I used La Belle as collateral.

If he finds out that you spent his money,

he'll kill you.

He's a very influential politician.

No matter what, we must hide this from him.

As for the land, I'll think of something.

No matter what,

I must not lose La Belle.

Don't worry.

Aunt Dee, is there a problem?

Ratt.

Well...

My maid just called and told me that a thief broke into our house.

Luckily,

they caught him. Nothing has been stolen.

What a shame.

-I wish he stole your accessories. -Lookkaew.

How could you say that?

Aunt Dee, can I go...

visit Uncle Nop with Lookkaew after the event?

Okay.

You love your dad so much.

Yet,

you're so mean to me.

Yes. I love my dad...

unlike you...

-who has forgotten about him. -Lookkaew.

You even held this event on my dad's death anniversary.

You forgot about that, right?

I remember.

-But I'm only free today. -Lookkaew.

I don't want to argue with you here.

I've work to do.

If you don't want to help out, don't be a bother.

Lookkaew.

Lookkaew.

Your mom is just irritable because she's tired.

I'm not tired, but I'm even more irritable.

Hello.

-Hello. -I've 128 boxes to post today.

You sold so much today, Natda.

Of course. I just stocked up.

And they'll be sold out soon.

This is the false eyelashes I sell.

Here's a pair for you.

With these lashes, you'll have beautiful eyes like me.

Thank you. You're so kind and pretty.

You're right about that.

-Hello. -Hello. How may I help you?

I'd like to pay 15,000 THB for my mortgage.

"Siam Commercial Bank"

-It's done. -Thank you.

There's 1.3 million left.

Alright! Do your best for mom!

"Manop Mongkolsilpa"

Uncle Nop, I came to ask for your permission.

Permission for what?

Uncle Nop.

I promise you that...

I will spend the rest of my life...

cherishing and looking after your daughter.

Please marry me.

Okay.

I will...

love you forever.

Thank you, Ratt.

I love you.

"Phuket"

The landlord fled?

Where did he flee to?

He left the country. This is a huge offense.

He'll be arrested if he stays.

The officer who issued the deed was fired too.

If the land gets taken back,

you must return the money to me!

You should ask the landlord.

I'm just an agent!

Pasit.

You sold the land to me.

You must take responsibility!

That was one billion and not a thousand baht!

Go ahead and sue me!

Pasit!

Pasit! Come out!

Pasit!

Yes. Mr. Pingpan, I'm busy. I can't talk to you now.

Please come to my place. I need to talk to you now.

I'm in Phuket.

So come back to Bangkok asap.

I'm returning today.

But I still have some work to do.

I'll see you tomorrow, okay?

What time is your flight?

Will you land at Don Mueang or Suvarnabhumi Airport?

"Bangkok"

What's going on?

Why did Mr. Pingpan send his men to intercept me in the airport?

It's as if I'm a criminal.

Just know that it was done with deliberate intent.

My husband is a nice person.

If it's someone else's money,

you wouldn't be standing here and talking to me in one piece.

Go explain to my husband...

and get this over with.

Please come with us.

-You're here. -Hello, sir.

Sit down.

What's so urgent?

It's about...

the money I transferred to your account.

I want it back.

Transfer it to my wife's account.

You may pay by installment and transfer a few million each time...

until you return the full amount.

Forgive me for being blunt.

I've kept the money for you for more than a year.

Why do you want it back so suddenly?

The general election is approaching. I'm running for office.

I need money for my campaign.

By when must I return the full sum?

In two months' time.

Is there a problem?

Alright.

I'm very happy about your engagement with Lookkaew.

Her father was my savior.

If it wasn't for him, I'd have gone bankrupt.

I wish Uncle Nop didn't pass away.

Aunt Dee doesn't pay a lot of attention to Lookkaew.

Dee is shouldering a great responsibility.

Managing La Belle is not easy at all.

Whenever she's stressed out,

she tends to take it out on her daughter.

I feel bad for Lookkaew.

Maybe it's because we grew up together.

So, I want her to be happy.

Because of this bond, you grew to love her.

I've over 400 million and you've 70 million.

We've 500 million in total.

But we need another 500 million.

Just tell Mr. Pingpan the truth.

Tell him we'll give him as much as we have.

He's a politician who hid his money in someone else's account.

Do you think he'll spare me so easily?

What about your zoo in Pattaya?

The land alone is worth more than 100 million.

Sell it for me.

I've put it up for sale, but I haven't found a buyer yet.

Your asking price is too high.

Someone will buy it if you sell it for below 100 million.

Below 100 million? That's too cheap!

My father-in-law bought that land for 60 million 30 years ago!

If you want me to sell it for a price that low,

I'd rather keep it for my children.

Each time I come here, I'm reminded of...

the days when Nop was still alive.

He was an alcoholic. He drank every week.

That was how he got his liver disease.

It's been 20 years, but I still remember him.

He helped me each time I got into trouble.

Your husband was my best friend.

Ratt respects him a lot too.

He used to cling to him.

Yesterday, I went to Uncle Nop's tomb...

and proposed to Lookkaew.

Lookkaew...

said yes.

Would you agree...

to let your daughter marry my son?

I was surprised when the two of you came...

because you came when Lookkaew is away.

So this is the reason.

Let me put it this way. I'll always be...

supportive of my daughter's relationship.

If you've no objections,

I'll invite the elders over for a formal proposal.

As for the bride price,

it's up to you and Lookkaew.

I think...

it's better to let the groom's family...

decide on the bride price.

Dee.

The bride price should be determined by the bride's family.

Don't be shy. We're one family.

You can decide.

I'm fine with any amount at all.

I've over 400 million and you've 70 million.

But we need another 500 million.

Look.

Lookkaew is my only child.

I've raised her very carefully.

She'll inherit my entire fortune in the future.

So, for her bride price,

I'd ask for 500 million.

The bride price Aunt Dee demanded...

is exorbitant.

Something probably went wrong in her investment in Phuket.

She needs to cover for a deficit.

A deficit?

Since you knew, why did you agree?

Because I told her that...

I'm fine with any amount.

I can't take back my word.

Should I ask Lookkaew to talk to Aunt Dee...

and persuade her to lower the bride price?

-Where are you? -I'm on a boat in Khwae Yai River.

The water here is so cool.

I plan to swim here tomorrow.

If you're going to swim, remember to wear a life vest.

Safety first.

Did your mom tell you?

About what?

Let's talk about it when you get back. Have fun.

Love you.

-I love you too, Ratt. -Okay.

Your fiance called?

Right. I don't care.

We're just...

Friends with benefits, right?

Come. Let me help you.

Kaew, I'd like to borrow some money from you.

Two million.

You haven't even returned the two million I lent you.

Now you want another two million?

Kaew.

I used up the two million in investments.

I can only return it five years later.

You're lying.

You gambled the money away in Macau, right?

Macau? I never went there.

You never went there?

Look at the tag on your suitcase.

"MFM" refers to Macau.

Don't tell me you went there for egg tarts.

As I said, it's an investment.

I earned one million at one point.

If you lend me a few more million, I can make dozens of million.

Then please return my money...

when you win again.

Do you want dinner?

Then come with me.

Wait.

Thanks for lending me money.

"The Save Sea Foundation" "Protect Earth and our oceans"

Take it to the vet.

It swallowed some foreign substances.

We must operate it asap.

All the best, little cutie.

Okay. You can open your eyes now.

Blink like this.

See? The lashes don't fall off no matter how hard I blink.

They are glued on firmly. Try.

How beautiful.

These false lashes really suit you.

Let me examine the overall look.

What's lacking?

I know.

Give me a minute.

This is the one. A hairband.

Now you look sweet and cute.

Perfect.

You can pay over there.

Hello, Din.

Natda, can you come out now?

What time are we meeting up?

I'm still at Bang Sai.

I'll call you when I'm done.

Okay.

Ning, help me clean up.

-Okay. -You're still here, girl?

I'm leaving now. I love you, mom.

Come. Let me give you a few kisses.

Okay. Call me once you arrive in Bangkok.

Okay. Yes, madam!

Drive safely. Be careful.

Mom.

This is for you.

What is this?

Natda!

"For mom"

Are you Mr. Li Shi Min?

Yes, that's me.

I'm Natda, the person who sent you an email.

-Please sit down. -Thank you.

Hello, mom, I'm in a shopping mall.

I'll go back asap.

Okay. Goodbye.

You shouldn't have trusted her.

Let me open the door for you.

You'll remember, right?

How gorgeous.

Lookkaew!

Ratt!

How could you do this?

Don't misunderstand, Ratt.

Petch is just a friend.

A friend?

Is this what you would do with a friend?

Ratt, please trust me.

There's nothing between me and him.

Okay. Calm down.

Stay out of this!

How long has it been?

How long have you two been together?

Since I was in Boston.

Are you satisfied now?

We're not married yet.

Ratt!

Ratt!

Ratt, come back!

Ratt!

What is it this time?

Is there a workshop nearby?

What should I so?

Let me call for help.

Why am I so unlucky?

My wallet and cellphone!

I've got to get help from someone.

"Lookkaew"

Are you in a hurry to go to hell?
