(The Family)

I'm about to leave home.

Why do you want me to hurry?

Call a nurse if there's anything.

Okay. See you later.

Prim!

There was a meeting at the university about this matter.

And you're a supervisor.

Where on earth were you? Why weren't you at the meeting?

I had to go to the hospital.

I had to take care of my husband who was assaulted.

He's not disabled.

There's no need to take care of him.

It's my university you should be taking care of.

And did you know the board

is going to audit me now?

- I do. - Oh?

I told them to do it.

What? Prim!

Dad, you can solve the problems at the university for the time being.

I'm taking leave for a week.

I have to take care of my husband.

Arun should've just died.

He shouldn't have survived to be a thorn in my side.

Dad,

you should be happy he's okay.

Because you wouldn't be here if he wasn't.

Why's that?

Are you going to throw your own father in jail?

You're such an ingrate.

It's not a surprise if I am.

I'm your daughter after all.

An apple probably doesn't fall far from the tree.

Prim!

Yes, Grandmother?

You want to see me?

You called. Is something the matter?

You probably are going through a difficult time at the moment.

You do not look happy at all.

I'm actually perfectly happy.

They say your eyes and facial expressions never lie.

There is no need for someone to win in every thing.

You shouldn't let your stubbornness cause trouble for others.

Are you going to give up now?

It's you who should be giving up.

Seriously,

how can you sleep at night?

None of your grandchildren are happy.

Has there ever been a moment

where you felt guilty

and remorseful for what you did to us?

I never feel guilty

or remorseful about my decisions

or whatever happens to our family.

And when you saw Grandpa die right before your eyes,

weren't you sad at all?

Everything is all in the past.

And I do not plan to be stuck in the past.

So you created a new future

and forced all of us to live the lives you want us to.

Let me tell you something.

I'm going to change

everything that's wrong.

Even if I have to die trying,

I'll never give up.

You shouldn't have survived and wasted money on treatment.

You should've just died.

Thank you for your concern.

But I won't die that easily.

I want to stay as your son-in-law for a long time.

Then I'll wait and see how long you're going to stay alive.

I hope you can see me while you're behind bars as well.

Hey.

What do you mean by that?

I'll give you a thorough explanation if you still don't understand.

Even though the culprit who assaulted me

testified that he did it because he mistook me for someone else,

I know

that wasn't the case.

He got the right person according to your order.

Since the culprit already confessed he got the wrong guy,

what else do you want from me?

Maybe

you should watch your back.

That's not a threat.

I said it because I'm worried about you.

I made you congee.

I'm just injured, not disabled.

I can go downstairs and eat.

- Okay. I'll put it away. - Hey.

Why would you go back and forth?

Give it here.

Thanks.

Is something the matter?

Thanks so much

for not pressing charges against Dad.

I'm not mean-spirited enough

to get my own father-in-law arrested.

Besides,

I know it won't make you happy

to see your dad get arrested either.

It's okay. He knows now that we know.

He probably won't do things as he pleases anymore.

And I'll be more careful.

Don't overthink it.

Thanks so much.

Yes, Paul?

What?

Wait at your place. I'll go there now.

What happened to him?

He said Susan went missing.

I have to go and help him find her.

I'll come with you.

You just got out of the hospital. You shouldn't come.

Get some rest. I'll keep you posted.

I have to go now.

Come on!

Come on, Susan!

How's it going? Have you been able to reach Susan?

I can't get a hold of her.

Her phone's off.

What happened? Why did she go missing?

Uh...

She asked to go to a friend's birthday party last night.

And why did you let her go?

Didn't I tell you not to?

She almost ran into Joe last time she did it.

I tried to stop her,

but she lied to me.

She said she was going shopping but had a friend pick her up.

And why didn't you tell me about this last night?

She asked to go to her friend's birthday party at their house.

I thought it was okay.

Have you tried calling her friend?

I have.

Everyone went home after the party.

She said Susan took a cab home on her own.

Can you take me to file a police report?

I'm worried about her.

Okay.

I'll take you to the station. Then we'll drive around to look for her.

Should we go then?

What is this?

Paul, should we try asking people in the area?

Here. Let's pull over and ask.

Excuse me?

Have you seen this woman?

- No, we haven't. - No.

Not at all? She might've passed by.

- No. - I don't think so.

- Okay. Thank you. - Thank you.

Come on.

Nobody saw her.

Paul, that's Susan.

- Isn't that her? - What? It really is her!

Susan!

Paul!

- Paul! - It's okay.

What happened to you?

Be gentle. It hurts.

Didn't I tell you not to go out?

Do you know how worried Paul was?

I just went to a friend's birthday party.

I didn't cause anyone trouble.

We went out looking for you. Don't you call that trouble?

If I wasn't mugged and had my phone stolen,

I would've called Paul to come pick me up ages ago.

If you're going to blame someone, blame the thief.

I won't blame them. I'll blame you.

Let's just say it's my fault for not taking care of Susan.

Thank you

for helping me find her.

I won't let it happen again. I promise.

Prim, seriously,

when are you going to stop keeping us caged up?

We're not your pets.

Do you know how boring it is to be stuck here?

I know you're bored.

But if Grandmother or Mom find either of you,

your lives will be in utter chaos.

But I can't stand living a life without seeing the future either.

Can't you just take us home?

And you can stop your grandmother and mom from meddling.

It's not that easy.

Anyway,

just give me some time.

Give you time?

You keep asking us to wait.

Or maybe you don't want Paul around at home?

Enough, Susan.

Do as she says and don't cause trouble.

It's so boring.

I can only wait.

Wait, wait, and wait.

Do I have to wait until I die?

Hang in there a little bit longer.

I promise

I'll take you both home.

And no one will force you into doing anything.

I hope I won't have to wait or live like this forever.

What do you want for dinner? I'll have it delivered.

Why are you asking me?

Go ahead and ask Prim.

You're so obedient to her anyway.

Hey.

But you were at fault today.

Without Prim's help, would you be here now?

But if you didn't listen to her in the first place

and went back to your mom,

we would've been living comfortably by now.

I'm starting to wonder

if what Prim's doing is for you

or for her own's sake.

She might want everything that's yours.

If she wants everything,

she wouldn't have run away and gone overseas.

That was back then.

But don't forget

if Prim gets to marry someone according to the will,

everything will go to your dad.

And when he's gone someday,

she will inherit everything.

Think about it.

Your family loves you more than Prim.

No one actually loves her.

She probably doesn't want you to go back

so she can have everything for herself.

Because if she truly loved and cared about you,

she'd be able to protect you.

She can even protect

the other relatives.

But you're her brother.

Should she be making you go into hiding like this?

Isn't that strange?

(Mom)

Go back there for everything

that should've been yours

before Prim takes it from you.

Please?

Prim, is that you?

Prim?

Juey!

Prim isn't home yet.

What are you doing in my bedroom?

Visiting you, of course.

I went to the hospital this morning.

I was told you came home.

I think

you should wait downstairs. We'll talk after I get dressed.

We can talk here. I don't mind.

You're able to talk here

with a friend like Prim.

It's not the same.

How so?

Oh, I forgot.

Because Prim's not a friend right now.

She's a sham wife.

And have you recovered?

Is that why you left the hospital?

Yes, I have.

You should wait downstairs.

If anyone sees you with me, it won't be appropriate.

What are you doing?

I'm on my way home. Do you want any food? I'll buy some.

Should I tell her that we're here together?

Hello, Prim?

I'll pass.

You should hurry back. I'd rather see you.

Oh? Is that you, Prim?

Juey?

Are you with Juey?

She came to visit.

I hope you're okay

I'm visiting him without telling you first, Prim.

I'll see you in a bit.

Hello, Prim?

Where are you now? Hurry back.

I didn't expect you to be this worried about Arun.

And why can't I be worried?

He's your husband.

So he's like another relative of mine.

That's the strange part.

You don't usually care or worry about anyone except yourself.

That was the old me.

But now, my feelings have changed.

I want to find someone interesting.

I hope you're okay

with me starting to care or worry about someone,

and I've chosen Run to be the first person.

Thank you for worrying about me.

But Prim's concern is already enough.

And when are you going to have kids?

Is that really something you should be asking now?

You're married.

Shouldn't you have a plan to start a family or have kids?

Their future is still uncertain.

I don't think they want the trouble of having kids.

Oh, yes. I forgot.

Prim has to marry Joe.

If you marry him, can I have a niece?

I don't want a nephew.

I don't think I can do that for you

because there's no way Joe and I would get married.

Run, what if you divorce Prim someday?

Are you going to go back to England right away,

or are you going to stay here and find a new girlfriend first?

I haven't thought about it.

You're not thinking about it right now.

Does that mean you're going to in the future?

I don't mind if you're a divorcee.

Run doesn't like oranges.

Mangoes then? They're also tasty.

When Juey visited you in the hospital,

did something happen that you didn't tell me about?

Juey!

I like you.

And I will do anything to make you mine.

Well, nothing.

I'm thinking otherwise because Juey seems to be more interested in you.

Prim,

are you jealous and assuming things now?

It's not funny.

Prim, don't overthink it.

Even though Juey is up to something

and is trying to make us fight,

it'll never happen.

Trust me.

I'll never mess around with her.

Then promise me that you'll tell me right away

if you find out what Juey is up to.

Okay. I promise.

I'll tell you right away.

You're going to open my case back up?

That's right. I've consulted a lawyer who's a friend of mine.

He said we can submit a request to re-open the case.

But I'll finish my sentence in less than a month.

Indeed.

You might get to leave jail. But what about your life?

You'll be called a jailbird for the rest of your life.

You want to start over and take care of Tarn.

But do you think you can keep this from her forever?

At least your daughter

should know her father isn't guilty.

And not everyone gets to be accepted by society

and live life like a regular person

when they get out.

But I made a promise to Mother. I don't want to break it.

Sometimes,

the person who breaks the promise might not be you.

What do you mean?

My apologies

for having kept a secret about Tarn from you after all this time.

To be honest,

Tarn isn't happy at all.

She's on her own. No one cares about her.

Mother never gives her any attention.

What about Nian?

She hasn't been taking care of Tarn at all?

She is in her own way.

She's forcing Tarn into doing everything she wants.

And now, Tarn's being forced to marry Pad

according to the will Father wrote before he passed away.

What on earth is going on?

How come you never told me about this?

I'm really sorry

for thinking there's a solution to everything.

I don't think

any of the children's parents accept the will.

But everyone only has their eyes on the money

and is neglecting the kids.

I think the only way to stop this

is to use your problem

to pressure Mother into nullifying the will.

I'm also a father.

I don't want to see my son being forced either.

Please help me.

Please stop Mother's warped and insane idea.

How can you be sure your solution will stop Mother?

You know she'll never let anyone betray her.

I don't know what the outcome will be.

But I can't stay put

while our children's lives fall apart.

Can you tell me everything

about what happened

and how it happened?

Please.

Are you going to accept my proposal?

Why does it have to be me?

Among all of my son-in-laws,

you love your family.

More importantly, you are the poorest.

So I thought

you are the perfect one to make a sacrifice to your family.

Pon,

you should accept her proposal.

So things can finally be over.

You caused the hit-and-run,

so you need to take responsibility.

At least,

your kids will see you as a responsible father.

And you can teach them that too.

I know! But I said it was an accident!

People who will benefit from your sacrifice

are your wife and daughter.

Don't you want to see them happy?

Pon,

I understand

you're a salaryman.

Your salary isn't a lot.

Look at the debt at Nian's kindergarten.

It's a lot.

Then there's also Tarn.

Without her dad paying for her tuition,

would she get to go to such a good school?

Do you remember the day Tarn came home crying?

When you didn't get to

throw a birthday party for her at school,

her friends mocked her and reduced her to tears.

Do you want to see her cry?

Think carefully.

This is a way

to let your family live comfortably.

I can look after my own family

without having to resort to such a thing.

Pon,

but you're the head of the family.

Can you call yourself a father?

Pon,

If I...

had to put up seeing my family in such a state,

I wouldn't be able to cope.

Mother tried to use Nian and Tarn

to pressure me into following her orders.

Mom!

Please, stop!

- Ah! - Tarn!

Nian, what's wrong with you?

You hurt her!

She's only hurt. She won't die!

It's me who's going to die!

I'm about to die

because my siblings are walking all over me!

What did they do to you now?

Yai and Nim

mocked me about the kindergarten closing.

I'm about to have nothing left!

Nothing.

Can you calm down about your debt for now?

I'm trying to find a way to help you.

Help?

How can someone like you help me?

You can't even earn money

to let your family live comfortably!

I shouldn't have been sp stupid to choose you as my husband!

My life with you is full of humiliation!

You're a good-for-nothing!

Can you not keep blaming Dad?

- It's not his fault at all. - Then who else should I blame?

Maybe it's your fault?

Enough!

My life's a disaster because of you two.

I shouldn't have chosen to keep you.

My life wouldn't have sunken so low without you!

I should've aborted you when you were still a lump of blood!

You're a burden!

Okay.

If you think it's my fault your life's like this,

then be my guest. It's my fault for coming into this world!

- Yes, it's your fault! - Tarn, dear!

- Tarn! - Do you hear it's your fault?

Nian,

can you stop talking to her like that?

So when are you going to make our lives better?

Tell me!

So I can stop insulting her and start lauding her

as the perfect daughter

who brought comfort and happiness to her parents.

Can you fulfill your duty

as a father

and the head of the family?

I really can't help you, Thanapon.

You still haven't paid off your and your wife's existing debt.

Your wife has also been blacklisted.

I see.

I'm really sorry.

Apart from not being able to take out a loan from the bank,

people around me,

friends or family,

weren't willing to help me either

because Mother ordered them not to help.

Are you studying?

I brought you some milk.

Exams are soon.

I want to get good grades so I'll get into a good university.

Didn't you tell me

you want to study overseas with Prim?

I don't want to anymore.

I can study here. It's good for you too.

You're worried I won't be able to support you?

Don't worry. I'll find money...

You don't have to put yourself through trouble for me.

I can study anywhere.

We can be like this.

There's no need for us to be like other families.

You should go and help Mom. Don't worry about me.

Don't worry.

I'll do whatever it takes

so you and your mom can live without embarrassment.

I love you, Dad.

And my horrible decision

caused me to lose everything.

Pon, thanks so much.

I promise

I'll do my best to look after Nian and Tarn.

As for the reason behind my disappearance,

I'd like to handle it myself.

Certainly.

Do whatever you want.

I hope you will keep your promise

and never think of betraying me.

Since Mother broke her promise

to look after Nian and my daughter,

I won't keep my end of the bargain either.

Thank you, Thanapon.

I'm going to do everything

so our kids can get away from Mother's rotten ideas

and oppression.

Of course.

If you need any other evidence to take matters to court,

tell me right away.

I'll send it to you immediately.

Why is Chalong talking to a lawyer?

I'd like to sort this out as soon as possible.

I'm willing to pay whatever it takes

to bring this to a close. I want my sons to live a better life.

I'm extremely fed up with the current situation.

Thank you.

Chalong,

what were you discussing with the lawyer?

I need him to handle a case.

A case?

What case?

I asked you a question!

It's none of your business.

I want everything to finally be over

so that our sons can have a better life.

I'm sick of the life we're living.

Are you saying

you're going to divorce me?

Nim, your imagination knows no boundary.

I've never thought of divorcing you.

Liar!

You really hate me and are annoyed by me, don't you?

You ran away from me and our sons ordain before.

And now you want to divorce me!

Do you really want out of my life?

Do you really?

Nim!

Get a hold of yourself!

Even though I'm fed up with you or annoyed by you,

I've never thought of divorcing you.

Fed up? Annoyed?

How could you say that?

You still haven't thought about it. So you're about to?

You horrible husband!

All right!

I'm going to divorce you!

What's gotten into you?

Can you stop? Listen to me!

Stop!

Why should I?

You want to get away from me anyway, so I'm helping you!

Can you just get a grip?

Don't let your anger consume you and turn you into a crazy ghost?

So what? Are you going to flick holy water at me if I turn into one?

Are you going to?

Come on!

You two are fighting again!

Why are you trashing Dad's stuff?

He doesn't want to be with me anymore!

So what if I throw out his clothes?

You're going to run away to ordain again?

No, he isn't.

But he wants a divorce!

What?

You're going to get a divorce? Really?

I wasn't, initially.

But if she won't put down her anger and get a hold of herself,

we might actually end up getting a divorce.

See? Your dad's going to divorce me!

You horrible husband! Get out of my life!

Dad, it's just her anger that's driven her to insanity.

Please don't mind her.

I'll take her to nine temples to bathe in holy water.

She should get better. You have to calm down.

Come here, you two.

If you want to divorce me, go ahead.

But the boys stay with me!

Don't take what's mine!

About them,

if we actually get a divorce,

we should let them decide who they want to stay with.

I'm going to make a decision.

I raised my sons! You have no right!

And I won't let you have

any of the money, Chalong!

I've never had my eyes on any of your money.

You can keep it so you can stuff it in your money when you die.

- Can I come with you, Dad? - Me too!

Come here, both of you!

- Come here! - Mom!

- Mom, let go! - Get off!

Can you stop treating our sons like your property?

Pad, Pod, stay with your mother for now.

I have to deal with something.

You're not actually going to break up with Mom, are you?

My patience isn't at its limit yet.

But I don't want to talk to her anymore today.

She's completely off the rails.

Look after her.

Don't let her turn into a crazy ghost and haunt people.

Get out of my sight!

And don't come back!

- Mom! - Get lost!

I can survive without a horrible husband like you!

And I'll live happily too!

Do you hear me? I'll live happily!

Do you hear me?

Mom, I'll help.

It's okay. I can do it.

Prim,

have you read the messages in our family group chat?

No, I haven't.

I don't really care about the group. It's full of nonsense.

You should. There's big news today.

What news?

Oh?

Yai posted a clip of Nim and Chalong's argument.

They're going to get a divorce.

They're going to get a divorce?

Yes.

They're an odd couple.

Pad turned off his phone.

Should we check on him? He might need help.

Hey, hey.

Don't meddle in other people's business.

It's someone else's family after all.

But Pad isn't someone else to me.

Paul!

Did you come back to me?

Hello, Mother. Hello, Father.

Paul, why did you come here?

I'm coming back to stay.

Really? Oh.

I'm so happy.

Took you long enough.

Where were you?

Paul's not going anywhere.

He's going to stay here forever.

Well,

this is his house. Of course he will stay.

But you, you're not allowed to stay. Get out.

Susan has to stay with me

because she's pregnant.

Pregnant?

I won't let either of you kick her out of my life again.

If you want me to stay, then Susan is staying.

Paul, a word outside?

- Come here. - What?

What's wrong with you?

Is Susan really pregnant?

I asked if she's pregnant.

No.

But if I didn't say that,

Mom and Dad wouldn't let her stay.

What are you thinking of doing?

The problems will get worse if you come back.

The problems that will get worse,

what are you referring to?

Are you talking about you fixing the problem with the will?

Or about me taking everything that's mine back from you?

What do you mean by that?

I'm the son of the family.

I deserve to live in this house,

just like you.

And I should get everything that's mine

and what I deserve.

And do you think you'll get to live

the life you want by coming back?

Dad doesn't care. You saw it just now.

He didn't even care you came back.

He's actually kicking Susan out too.

Then you have to fulfill your duty.

Protect me and Susan.

Because all the problems stemmed from you.

You angered Grandmother because you ran away overseas.

You left me to face the problems alone

until I had to leave the house.

Now,

you have to take responsibility for my and Susan's lives.

There are 24 hours in day.

I dedicate 23 hours to resolving existing problems,

only to have people bring me new ones in the last hour.

I think you should calm down.

How can I?

Why am I being swarmed by everything at once?

Aunt Nim is getting a divorce, and Paul came back.

I won't be able to stand it if anything else pops up.

Come here.

I'll give you a massage. It might help you feel better,

and you might be able to find a solution.

I think

the problem with Paul might not be as bad as you think.

Paul might've actually found it difficult to live at that place.

On the positive side,

with Paul back,

he could be your right-hand man and help you solve problems.

- Really? - Yes.

But the problem he brought with him is lying about Susan's pregnancy.

That's not difficult to solve.

It doesn't take long for it to happen with actual spouses.

What about you? Do you want to have kids?

Hold it.

The reason Paul came home

might not have anything to do with the place he was staying at.

Do you think it's because of Susan?

I don't want to think that either.

What are you going to do now?

I don't know yet.

If you can't come up with anything,

then you don't have to.

Just stay still, and let me give you a massage.

You're so tense.

Does that feel good?

(Juey)

(Juey)

Feeling any better?

Aren't you going to answer?

It's probably the guys from the foundation wanting to hang out.

I'll call them back later.

I don't want anyone to interrupt your relaxation.

- Come on. Let's keep going. - You can stop now.

I'll have a relaxing bath instead.

Wait.

Should I keep you company?

Forget it.

You should call your friend back.

I want to talk to you about something right now.

If you want to keep your sham marriage a secret,

come and meet me now.

I don't like to be kept waiting.
