Postpone tomorrow's meeting.

I'll hold a press conference instead.

I need to find out who is behind this.

Liar.

It's Rata.

Don't you feel ashamed that you're stealing my husband?

You should stop harassing her.

You haven't gotten over me, have you?

Are you crazy?

Stop saying those things.

How could she have feelings for you?

We are going to get married soon.

This is a big deal.

It's nothing.

If I didn't say that, things wouldn't be resolved easily.

You are here.

Hello.

You are here.

What is this?

She wants to see you.

I hope that's alright.

You're an adult now.

You won't act childish like you used to.

Isn't that right, Nueng?

Say hello properly, dear.

Hello.

Is something wrong?

Not at all.

Please, take a seat.

It's been a while since I last saw you, Karan.

You still look as dashing as ever.

You're not bad yourself, Pim.

Dad, isn't my new ring pretty?

A new ring?

It's an engagement ring.

Engagement?

Do you like it?

You got engaged to someone?

Since when?

I never heard anything about this.

It's not my fault you're always abroad.

Everyone knows about this, you know.

Even her.

Don't you?

Didn't Thames tell you?

We're getting married.

No.

Actually, Thames and I are both adults.

We don't need to ask for anyone's permission anyway, don't you think?

But it wouldn't hurt to give me a heads up, you know.

Even I don't know who you're marrying.

Why don't you ask her?

Why don't you try this dish?

I heard it's great.

Sorry.

Allow me.

It's alright. I'll go wash my hands.

I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to.

It's okay. It's no big deal.

This is my final warning.

Leave Thames alone.

I don't even listen to my own father.

Who do you think you are to give me orders?

I know you're only doing this to get back at me.

That's not true.

You're overthinking.

Don't think I don't know you're just using my son against me.

Leave Thames alone.

He has nothing to do with this.

I really think you're imagining it.

But that's quite a story your mind comes up with.

I said leave my son alone.

Have you ever asked your son

what it's like for him having a mother like you?

Have you ever asked

if he's distressed about having you as a mother?

You should try asking your kids if they love you at all.

Maybe you'll finally learn

what they really think of you as a mother.

I'm being nice.

But if you refuse to listen to me,

just watch out for your father.

I'll make you realize I can do so much worse than you think I can.

You should try asking your kids if they love you at all.

Maybe you'll finally learn

what they really think of you as a mother.

It's open.

I just saw your press conference video.

Are you really getting married?

My daughter? Old enough to marry?

Makes you wonder what your mother would do

if she could hear about this, don't you think?

She would be happy...

and she would ask me some questions.

What do you think she would ask?

She would ask me

why I choose this man,

or why I want to marry this man.

Something like that.

Then let me ask in her place.

Do you like it when people gawk at you or something?

Are you jealous?

Jealous?

You were acting like I really was yours, you know.

Are you jealous because I talked to my ex?

Cute.

Why would I be jealous?

Do I look like I'm even in love with you?

I did it because there were a lot of reporters.

And you were talking to the guy who's famous for being a womanizer.

Not only that,

he's also getting married.

Worse still, he's also your ex-boyfriend.

Don't you worry that it would affect your image?

It's probably because

he reminds me of Mom.

He pays attention to the little things in my life,

things I don't even care about myself.

When someone does that for me,

it just makes me realize

how much I miss having it.

Have I been a bad father, then?

Of course not.

You're doing your best, Dad.

I never ask anything of you.

I only want one thing.

Don't get involved with Pimpattra.

About my getting married...

It may not even happen.

At least, my mom must be going crazy because of this.

Right now,

it looks like you hate your mom more than I do.

What kind of dishes are we thinking for my party?

I have three options for you.

I don't think these spicy dishes are a good idea.

Are you insane?

My birthday party needs auspicious food.

That's my request, actually.

I think those are auspicious.

If you can eat spicy food, it means you're still strong, right?

I don't think so.

Give me something I can easily deal with.

I've had enough on my plate just dealing with each of you, you know.

Do you want me to die of stress?

There she goes.

I guess she is seriously mad at you.

What do you want me to do?

What the hell is wrong with you?

I can't keep up with you anymore.

I don't even know if I know you at all.

I'll be honest.

You've really crossed a line this time.

I know you're a private person.

But this is marriage we're talking about.

Of course Mom would be mad.

You should have at least told us about this.

It's nearly Mom's birthday, too.

Just talk to her.

I'm sure she'll soften up.

Since when have I become the only bad son around here?

You're all acting like you love her so much.

She's getting old, you know.

We just compromise where we can.

You didn't compromise about Kaew.

At least just make sure you're not hurting Mom's feelings.

Maybe you should

get your girlfriend to gradually warm up to your mother?

I think that will only make it worse.

Why?

They're too alike.

You must really love your mother

to even have a girlfriend who is just like her.

Either he loves her so much or hates her so much.

How about inviting Nueng to Mom's birthday party?

There will be a lot of guests so I don't think it'll be a problem.

I'll try asking her.

Where are you going?

I thought it was your day off.

I have an appointment.

Kaew, since you're here,

I need your help with something.

What is it?

Come with me, pelase.

Ever since he's got a girlfriend,

Thames is kinda different, don't you think?

Hey.

I think we got lucky yesterday at the press conference

that we didn't get as much hate as I expected.

When the Ban Vas Limited hashtag was trending,

I thought my heart was going to give out.

Good thing Thames was there to save the day.

At least that makes it look like you were telling the truth in those videos.

Oh, by the way,

don't forget to post something on your Instagram about you getting married.

I don't want anyone thinking you and Thames are only faking it.

Act more like a couple, alright?

What do you think? Am I pretty?

What?

What are you wearing?

What a prude.

That's not a bad thing, you know.

I'm going to post something like you said.

It's not ugly, it's just...

It's just unusual.

I don't have to show my skin all the time, you know.

There are times for good manners and proper outfits.

Tell yourself that.

Oh, I'm trying to contact Win.

I'll let you know once I get through to him.

Good to hear.

I can't wait to see who caused all this misunderstanding.

Who the hell would want it to come to this?

I gotta go.

Hello, sir.

So it's you.

We finally meet.

Are you here to pick up Nueng?

Yes.

Take care of Nueng for me.

She's my only girl, after all.

Of course.

I'm sure you'll do a good job at it.

What makes you say that?

Nueng told me

that when she's with you,

it feels like she gets to be with her mother again.

Nueng really loves her mom.

Ever since she passed,

I've done everything in my power

to make her feel like she's not missing anything.

But I'm only a man.

I can never measure up to how caring mothers are.

Right.

You look like you have your mother's attentiveness.

I don't think I'm anything like her.

I don't agree with that.

What are you talking about?

Just this and that.

Is it something bad?

I'll keep that as our secret.

Dad!

Where are you taking me today?

I'm getting excited.

What are we doing here?

We're having a picnic.

A picnic?

In this 38 degree celsius weather?

Yeah.

Is this a joke?

There are hundreds of restaurants in this city with air-conditioning.

You and I work all week in air-conditioned rooms.

We need the wind, the sun, and some nature therapy.

You don't care about my clothes at all, do you?

This outfit is costly, you know.

Just stop complaining and sit down.

My brother's girlfriend made these sandwiches.

She's a great cook.

Eat up.

I have something vigorous planned after this.

Outdoor?

(PorPla: I'm so jelly.) (IceSMKJ: OMG)

Hey.

Hey, wait for me.

It's your high-heels slowing you down.

Hey, wait up.

Hurry up.

I'm tired.

I told you to wait!

(Ice_T: So dazzling)

Enough.

I'm not doing anything anymore.

I'm exhausted and hot.

I can't anymore.

You can laugh?

I thought all you do is brood.

Of course I can laugh.

There just isn't much to laugh about.

It seems making me suffer is one thing that makes you laugh, then.

I'm not trying to torture you, you know.

Whatever.

But I get to choose our next destination, alright?

Do you think you can pick somewhere that actually makes me feel anything?

I'm not like you.

Let's say you're not allowed to leave early.

Because you will do exactly as I say unconditionally.

I don't understand why you're staying at a hotel when you have a house.

I'm not just staying here.

I'm staying here with you.

I won't do anything like that.

But we have to be here together all night.

What are you doing?

Didn't you say there's nothing that makes you feel anything?

Then this

shouldn't concern you.

Wow.

The bathroom is amazing.

Wanna come in the shower with me?

Girls these days are sure to be feared.

This place is gorgeous.

Won't you come in?

Now that's what I call soul food.

Are you not going to go outside at all?

No.

I want to stay in with you.

What should we do after dinner?

Sleep.

I'm not letting you off to bed so easily.

Do you say that to people normally?

It's not uncommon, is it?

Everybody does that.

They go on online dating apps, meet at a hotel, and go home after.

It's nothing to care about.

I'm not asking what other people are doing.

I'm asking about you.

I know the kind of girl that I am isn't your cup of tea.

So you don't have to care.

I don't know.

Who you are and who you show people that you are

are very different.

What does that mean?

You want people to think of you as this talented confident woman,

but I don't think you're all that amazing.

Hey.

What I'm trying to say is

you're still a woman who needs someone to take care of her.

I think

every woman is like that.

Even your mother.

Can I tell you something?

Though,

this is something

that may defeat the purpose of my whole plan.

If you don't want me to know that much,

I'll pretend I'm not listening.

Well...

I just met your mother.

I have to tell you very honestly that

I really hate her.

I hate that she tries to get close to my dad.

I hate her facial expressions.

I hate the way she acts,

the looks in her eyes, the way she talks, everything.

But...

I don't want you to hate her.

I'm speaking as someone who no longer has a mother.

The time you get to spend with them isn't so long.

I don't want you to regret it the way I do now.

Hey, you.

Are you listening?

I'm pretending I'm not.

You must have been through a lot.

So have I.

Hey, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

What's with you?

We agreed, didn't we?

I can't sleep on the same bed with someone else.

Here.

Helps you sleep.

I don't see why you need to do all of this.

But I did as you asked.

And I'm still right here in the same room with you.

I don't like sleeping alone.

Don't lie.

You sleep alone every night in your bed.

And that's why I have insomnia.

So you want me to be an insomniac in your place?

It's just for tonight.

No.

Why not?

I thought we got along just now.

That and now are two separate occasions.

But I miss my mother.

I want to snuggle with my mother.

I am not your mom.

Please? Please, please, please, please?

Enough.

Don't touch me when you're drunk. It's dangerous.

Why did you have to shake me off so heartlessly?

Do I disgust you?

Why?

Why does nobody love me?

I'm only asking you to snuggle with me for tonight.

Is it really that difficult?

We'll just be cuddling.

I'm not doing anything to you, you know.

Okay?

We will just cuddle.

I just need some comfort, don't you understand that?

What on earth is going on...

I'm inconsolable.

Nobody loves me at all.

Why? Why is it like this?

Ugh! This is frustrating!

Is it really impossible?

You just gotta lie down and cuddle me.

What the...

Please?

Just please?

I never thought you would be serious about this woman.

But it turns out that you do like her very much.

No, I don't.

I don't. I don't. I don't.

Oh?

Mom?

Why are you sleeping here?

Where's Thames?

Is he back?

Thames isn't a kid anymore, you know.

Just let him be.

Alright?

But Thames never just disappeared like this.

He always came home.

He doesn't sleep well if it's not his own bed.

Mom...

Itch, will you call him for me?

What if he got in an accident or something?

Let's just get you to your room.

I'll deal with the rest.

Alright?

Call him now.

I'm worried.

Let's get you in bed,

and sleep properly.

I promise that by the time you're awake,

I'll bring him home.

Okay?

Okay.

That was a good sleep.

Did you... not sleep well?

Who would sleep well with you in the same bed?

You're too dramatic.

I'm not dramatic enough.

I'll never forget last night.

This is cute.

Damn, my girl's got games.

Oh, this is cute, too.

Hello, the sweetest couple of the year.

Not even close.

You jest, Thames.

From the look on my best friend's face, I'd say she's happy.

Then she's the only one.

(Itchaya: Come home now.)

Is something wrong?

I have to go home.

Alright.

I'll have Krit give me a ride home.

If it's not too much to ask.

I'm happy to.

Is something the matter?

Why did you call me here?

Oh, right.

I have to meet up with Win.

But he said you need to be there or else he wouldn't tell us anything.

He's here. He's here.

What happened?

It worked.

I told you.

The only way to fetch Thames is to send short urgent texts.

He doesn't care if you call him.

You're quite devious, Itch.

What are you playing?

You disappeared all night without telling anyone.

Mom stayed up the whole night worrying about you.

I'm not a kid.

Try saying that to a mother.

But really.

All mothers are like that.

Just go upstairs and see Mom.

I made some congee.

Should we have Thames bring it to her?

Thames.

You're acting up, you know that?

What a troublesome guy.

Hey.

Don't act all entitled.

You're younger than me.

You good-for-nothing tempura!

I second that.

I don't want you to hate her.

I'm speaking as someone who no longer has a mother.

The time you get to spend with them isn't so long.

I don't want you to regret it the way I do now.

Thames?

You're back?

Yes.

Are you trying to kill me?

Is that why you're doing this?

Mom.

I'm an adult.

Don't I get to live my life, too?

You never listened to us when you were dating someone, either.

I'm home. Please, take a rest.

She's leading you on.

She's just using you to get back at me.

That's why I told you to stop seeing her.

I'm only doing this because I don't want you to be used.

Believe me, Thames.

It's you who needs to believe me.

Nueng isn't like that.

Do I have to play the bad guy for you to listen?

Is that what it'll take for you to stop seeing her?

You don't need to do anything.

Just let me live my own life.

Excuse me.

It's not as crowded as before, is it?

You know damn well why.

Who do you think put us in this position?

Are you... really getting married?

Let's get down to business.

You probably know why I called you out here today.

Do you know I have to risk getting caught for being here?

Let's at least talk leisurely.

Hey.

You're the one who said Nueng has to be here.

Or else we wouldn't waste our time.

Just tell me.

Why did you do it?

Because I love you, Nueng.

We broke up ages ago

and you suddenly realize you still love me now?

Isn't that kind of weird?

I think you still miss me.

Isn't it supposed to be like that?

We haven't seen each other in forever.

What made you think so?

Your best friend told me.

I cannot not believe that, can I?

Wait.

Are you insane?

I never told you anything like that.

Your other best friend.

Vivi?

Why would Vivi do that?

I'd love to know, too.

I nearly got beaten to death by Rata's dad.

That was your fault.

Don't blame my friend.

Then why did she tell me you're not over me?

She didn't even tell me you're getting married.

Hey.

On the day of the press conference,

Vivi dropped in and then disappeared.

I really can't think what she would get out of this.

You know what, let's just go see her at her place right now.

Sounds good.

Let's clear up everything.

Fabulous.

Excuse us.

Are you Nuengnaret?

Yes.

What can I help you with?

Who are you?

No!

Stay away from Tewis.

Nueng.

Nueng.

Nueng!

Nueng!

Nueng.

Help!

Somebody, help!

Nueng.

Nueng.

Nueng, wake up!

Hello?

Hello? Thames?

Nueng is at the hospital.

What happened?

Are you alright?

What about Nueng?

I'll be right there.

Hurry up.

I asked my assistant to take a look at the security camera.

Tomorrow I'll take it to the police station myself.

Thank you, Thames.

You can go home and rest.

I'll look after her.

Why must they hurt her like this?

She's just a girl.

Can you think of anyone who'd want to do this?

Not at all.

I know Nueng gets on people's nerves,

but she's never done anything to anybody.

It's only lately that there seems to be a lot of problems.

But I still don't think anyone would hire someone to beat her up.

Thames.

Are you and your mother at odds about Nueng?

What does she have to do with this?

Do I have to play the bad guy for you to listen?

Is that what it'll take for you to stop seeing her?

It's all because of me.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Why are you apologizing?

Did you beat me up?

Are you crying?

I'm not dead, you know.

I'm not gonna kick the bucket because of this.

It's no big deal. Don't cry.

This is serious.

You're being very adorable, you know that?

I see that you're fine now.

I'm leaving.

Hey, wait.

Stay.

Cry a little more for me.

Do you know

that nobody has ever cried for me before in my life?

A lot of people curse me, though.

You're awful.

Hey.

Can you get me a mirror?

There's none here.

I have one in my bag.

Where is it?

There's one in there. Look for it.

What a relief.

Still pretty.

That's it?

You're in a hospital bed and that's all you care about?

If I'm still pretty, nothing else is a big deal.

Mom.

How are you feeling, dear?

Can you stay with me, Mom?

I don't want to sleep alone.

I'll stay with you until you feel better, alright?

Let's go to bed.

Sleep now.

Sweet dreams, my stargirl.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom...

Do I have to play the bad guy?

Stop seeing that girl.

Don't worry.

I'll take care of everything.

Thames?

Have you been here all night?

Good thing you're here.

Please, take care of her.

I have something to do.

Thames?

How could you be so mean, Mom?

Did Nueng hurt you so bad that you have to do this?

Directed by Ekkasit Trakulkasemsuk and Pantip Vibultham.

Did you find out who did this?

We reported this to the police.

We'll find out soon.

Where is Thames?

I don't know.

He left home.

I can't contact him.

Where the hell would we find him?

He doesn't go home. He doesn't come to work.

Nueng went to see someone alone.

I'm worried.

Are you busy, Thames?

How can I help you, Nueng?
