Original subtitles

200 joules. All clear.

Still no heart rate.

Time of death: 05:45.

You said I'd be your last.

Why did you buy a house for that old hag then?

-Holy shit. -Step back.

Would you rather have a loving family

or be all alone

because of your resentment?

The choice is yours.

Forget who my parents are and who your mom is.

No Jutathep. No Dhevaprom.

Only the two of us.

It's no use.

We are never meant to be.

I want to be a nurse like you.

Please let me go back to school.

Goodbye, Dr. Chat.

What do you think? Is the room okay?

The room is very nice.

Your brother gave me a three-month advance.

If you leave sooner, let me know. I'll return the money.

I'll let you know.

Have you eaten? There's food in the kitchen.

I stopped off for food earlier.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

If there's anything you want my help with, please let me know.

I can do everything. Doing the laundry, mopping the floor, ironing clothes.

I can do all the chores. I can cook as well.

What about Thai desserts? Do you know how to make them?

Yes, I do.

That's fantastic.

You'll be a great help to me.

What's your name again?

I'm Kwan. My full name is Kwanruetai.

A pretty face with a beautiful name.

Kwan.

It's quite hard to pronounce.

Can I call you Tai instead?

What's wrong? Don't you like being called Tai?

Not at all.

It's just that many of the people who called me Tai

have disappeared from my life.

But it's okay.

Having you call me Tai is probably a good idea.

Are you tired?

Can you help me write a letter?

I've been straining my eyes and my back is aching.

Of course.

-Come this way. -Okay.

My nephew lives all alone.

He works in the countryside and only comes home once in a while.

He likes to receive my letters.

Why don't you call each other?

There's no phone in this house.

I didn't have it installed since it's unnecessary.

It costs a lot of money too.

If you want to call home, you'll need to use the public phone.

Okay.

Do you want me to continue from where you left off?

Yes. Where did I leave off?

"I received your parcel."

I received your parcel.

Please write down what I say.

Okay.

Everything is fine on this side.

Everything is fine on this side.

You don't need to worry.

You don't need to worry.

I miss you a lot too.

I miss you a lot too.

-Before I go to bed… -Before I go to bed…

I'll think of you every night.

Do you want that written down?

Yes, please. My nephew is a sweet boy.

I've raised him since he was young. I know his character.

Before I go to bed, I'll think of you every night.

Take care of your health.

Take care of your health.

Love always.

-Love always? -Yeah.

Love always.

What a sweet letter.

I'd like you to put this ring on.

It's just an ordinary ring that doesn't cost much,

but I'd like you to put it on…

for me.

This ring will be my substitute.

It will be with you everywhere,

always.

Here's a letter from Kwan.

Why are you excited?

She writes to us every month anyway.

Why should I care?

Hello?

Yes. We just received your letter today.

Is that Kwan on the line?

Yes.

Hey.

Are you going to write letters or call? Pick one.

Do you have money to spare or what?

Kwan, Mom has been saying she misses you. She wants to see you.

I'll make time to take Mom to visit you.

By the way,

how is your study?

Is it hard?

Study well.

So you can boast to Mom.

Mom? She seems happy.

I take good care of her. She's well-fed and comfortable.

Mom was grinning.

-What? -Nothing.

I wasn't doing anything.

Ma'am, there's a letter for you.

Read it out loud for me.

Okay.

-Shall I read now? -Yes.

"Dear beloved Aunt Lamai,

I'm doing well

but very lonely.

I'm working tirelessly to suppress the ache in my heart."

Your nephew is a sweet talker.

If I didn't know, I'd have thought he was your lover.

It's the sweet tone he adopts with his girlfriend.

Does your nephew have a girlfriend?

Yes, he has. His girlfriend is very pretty actually.

But they live far apart.

I feel sorry for them.

They love each other.

However, there are so many obstacles in the way.

I hope that your nephew will be able to marry the woman he loves.

What about you? Do you have a boyfriend?

Between him and I, it's not meant to be.

I don't understand. Why are you not meant to be?

Is he married?

It's a matter regarding our parents.

What does it have to do with them?

Are they getting married as well?

Do you…

love your boyfriend?

Don't lie to me.

I love him.

I wish you the best.

Let's write a reply to my nephew, shall we?

Okay.

Let's do it.

Dear beloved Suchat…

Dear beloved Suchat…

A nursing student named Tai is staying with me.

She's hard-working and kind.

She helps me with all the chores. She also helps me make desserts.

I can't help but wish to have her as my niece-in-law, but it's a pity.

Tai said she's already in love with someone.

He's a doctor.

Did Tai come by at all?

I haven't seen her.

She's probably deterred by your relatives from Bangkok.

I'm also afraid.

Afraid I can't stop my heart from falling.

All of them are so handsome.

Let's get you fed.

Here you go.

You have a male visitor. Please enjoy your conversation.

Excuse me.

I'm glad you're okay.

Thank you.

How is Tai doing?

I came to tell you about her.

What is it?

She passed the entrance exam for a nursing course in Bangkok.

She planned not to tell you.

She was hoping

to just cut all ties.

I'll tell them that you know her brother, Kongphop.

Please take care of her.

Not to worry.

Mrs. Krongkaew made sure I got the message.

Speaking of which, is she the girl you want to marry?

I sure hope so, but she's headstrong.

Can you help me with one thing though?

I get it.

You want me to pretend to write letters to my nephew,

not letting her know that it's you.

You miss her, don't you?

Even though you can't see her, at least you'll see her handwriting.

You're smitten, you know that?

Stop teasing me, please.

Please write a sweet and loving reply.

It'll help me from feeling lonely

and keep me going at work.

I've got you.

See you in Bangkok.

I can hardly wait.

Love and miss you always.

I finally have the pleasure of meeting you in person.

I was afraid Kej would never introduce you to me.

I had been a bundle of nerves, fearing she wouldn't bring me here.

Today, you're picking her up to take her for a meal with your family.

Next time, you should come here for a meal, okay?

I'd be happy to, Great-Grandma.

Whenever is convenient for you, I'll be here.

I wonder when Chat is going to introduce his girlfriend to me.

I've heard about her from several people.

It has been some time already.

It won't be long now, Great-Grandma.

I guarantee that you're going to love her.

Who are her parents?

Can you give me a hint?

Chat forbids us from telling you.

You'll hear it from him soon enough.

I guarantee that you'll be taken by a complete surprise.

You guys sure like to tease an old lady.

I don't want to know anymore.

You'd better head out for your meal.

You shouldn't keep Her Grace waiting.

All right?

I'm relieved. That's one more hurdle down.

Who says that?

You're assuming too much.

You're being unsupportive right now.

Your mom and mine teamed up to set us up.

So no resistance from them.

That leaves your dad as the final hurdle

and then the wedding.

Not yet.

I'll wait until after Chat's wedding.

Come on. If we wait for Chat to marry, won't I be old and gray by then?

Will you reconsider?

Please, Kej.

PRIVATE TAXI

We've arrived, Mom.

DHEVAPROM MANSION

DHEVAPROM MANSION

Why would you bring me here?

Didn't you say you're taking me to see Kwan?

I heard from Dr. Chat that your dad is unwell.

He's physically ill and heartsick.

-You still-- -It's a chronic illness, I heard.

It's as if he's lacking the will to live.

Do you not want to see him?

Sir.

Sir.

Mrs. Maratee is here to see you.

Maratee?

Yes, Mrs. Maratee.

Maratee.

Is it really you?

Maratee.

Come.

Come closer.

Let me see you clearly, my girl.

Maratee.

Dad.

Dad.

Why did you

never come to visit me?

I've missed you so much, do you know?

I thought

this day would never come.

I was afraid that

I might take my last breath

before getting to see you for the last time.

Don't say that, Dad.

Don't say that.

Maratee.

I want…

to apologize to you.

Don't say that, Dad.

Everything was my fault.

You can be angry or hate me…

all you want.

It's all because of me.

It's all because of me.

It's all my fault.

Forgive…

Forgive me.

Forgive me.

Please.

Please.

Dad, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Dad.

You've been gone

for over ten years.

Tell me everything.

Dad.

Excuse me.

The man who came with Mrs. Maratee said someone is here to see you.

Okay.

Mom, someone wants to see you.

Mom.

Kwan.

Kwan.

I've missed you.

I've missed you too.

How have you been?

Dad,

her name is Kwanruetai. She's my daughter, your granddaughter.

Go. Pay respect to your grandpa.

Yes, Mom.

You are our princess.

Today…

am I dreaming?

Today is such a good day.

I get to meet my daughter and my granddaughter.

Let me see my granddaughter up close.

You're as beautiful as your mom.

Why don't you move back in?

We can all be together at long last.

Okay?

I can't come back to stay.

There are things I need to take care of.

You shouldn't worry though.

We are doing well.

I have a house and a car.

My bedroom even has an air conditioner.

It's true, Grandpa.

If you have time, please come visit us.

All right.

If that's what you prefer,

I won't go against your wish.

We have a lot to learn

from the past mistakes

that we shared.

I'll no longer be selfish

and exploit the love that you have for me…

to satisfy my own needs.

Kwanruetai.

Yes?

Remember…

Dhevaprom Mansion

is always open to you.

You are my granddaughter.

When you have free time,

you should come to visit me whenever possible.

I don't want my death to be lonely…

with me all by myself.

I'll do that.

Hello, ma'am.

It has been a long time.

Have you been well?

I'm fine.

I've been in good health.

This house is being put up for--

Don't bother making excuses.

Kong told me everything.

Not to mention, him taking me to Dhevaprom Mansion.

You're quite a schemer.

I should thank you though.

I wouldn't have had the nerve to go see my dad.

I wouldn't even dare to think about it.

If I hadn't gone there that day,

I wouldn't have known

that he had been waiting for me.

He still loves me and embraces my faults.

I shouldn't have used my hatred to force Kwan to do my bidding.

I'm exploiting the love that my daughter has for me.

Dad's remark made me think.

I don't want my later years to be like his.

I don't want to be abandoned, all alone.

Tai loves you very much.

I fully believe

that she'll never abandon you.

You must have already gotten over her.

That's not true.

Why haven't you visited her?

I've been waiting for your permission.

Waiting?

What's the point of waiting?

My daughter's lost so much weight from being heartsick.

What are you implying?

If you missed my daughter,

why wouldn't you make the effort to find out where she's living?

I know where she's living,

but I haven't visited because

you didn't want us to be together.

Hey, watch what you say.

When did I do such a thing? Don't be so naive.

My daughter is so far out of sight.

If you two had secretly met up, how would I have known?

Are you giving me permission to marry Tai?

I give you an inch, and you take a mile.

I haven't said a word about entrusting my daughter to you.

But…

if I'm the reason to separate her from someone as decent as you,

I'll probably feel guilty for the rest of my life.

I'm in love with Tai.

I give you my word that

I'll look after her the best I can.

She'll come before my own life.

Open it.

GOVERNMENT SAVINGS BANK SAVINGS BANK BOOK

It's Tai's bank book.

NAME: KWANRUETAI PITAKDHEVA BALANCE: 580,000

The exact balance is the price of this house.

I deposited the money in her name when we sold the house.

You must have taken me for a selfish, money-grabbing person all this time.

Why are you giving it to me?

Give it to Kwan.

When she has to meet your relatives,

she can buy some nice dresses and necklaces for herself,

so she won't be looked down upon.

Why are you just standing there?

Why don't you hurry to see her?

She might have wasted away from loneliness at this point.

Thank you, ma'am.

I'll get right on it.

Go.

Kavee.

I made the right choice, didn't I?

My daughter can finally be happy with the person she loves.

Come on in.

Is your nephew here?

Hello.

Hello.

-The toilet is over there. -Thank you.

He's not your nephew?

He's a plumber.

-What? -Have you waited long?

Dr. Chat?

What are you doing here?

Well, he's my nephew.

He's the one I've had you write replies to these past several months.

Ma'am! You're in cahoots with him?

I used to be Mrs. Krongkaew's chambermaid.

She sent me to assist Mr. Chat.

Mr. Chat really misses you.

He said if he couldn't see your face, he'd be satisfied with your handwriting.

You don't have to tell her everything.

I can't hold back. I don't want Tai to be angry with me.

Mr. Chat ordered me

to get you to write sweet and loving paragraphs.

He said they'd keep him going at work.

Lamai.

Did you finally get a green light from Mrs. Maratee?

Is that why you came?

Mom?

Are we going or not?

What?

Let's go.

Maratee.

Is it really you, Maratee?

Yes, Grandma Orn.

How have you been?

I'm delighted to see you again.

How did you two cross paths?

It's a long story, Great-Grandma.

Why don't we sit down and talk?

That's a good idea. Come.

Lay it all out for me.

After you lost the case, where did you go?

Do you like it here?

I don't like the person living here.

You're quite a schemer.

Everything that I did was for you.

Sweet talker.

To win the heart of a fearless girl such as yourself,

I had to put an intricate plan together.

Let's go inside. Great-Grandma Orn is waiting to see you.

Okay.

Let me see.

You have your mom's beauty.

You have good eyes, Chat.

I love her dearly, Great-Grandma.

You're sweet-talking her in front of her mom?

I'm used to it, Grandma Orn.

I've heard him say that many times.

Since he convinced me, I doubt this girl isn't already under his spell.

You're normally reserved, but you play a good game, don't you?

It seems that the promise between the two families

has finally been fulfilled by the third generation.

I'm fortunate to still be alive to witness it.

The only thing left is Vilairumpa.

I wonder how she's doing and if she's well.

Have you not heard from her at all?

Not at all, Grandma Orn.

Dad is worried as well.

If I hear any news about her, I'll let you know right away.

That'd be great. Thank you.

I'm very happy for you two.

You've overcome the hurdles and you've gotten to this point.

I've always believed that only when husband and wife are bound by love

would the marriage stay strong.

Seeing you two puts my mind at ease.

Now we only need to wait for the right date and time.

Why don't you sit on the chair?

Thank you.

Has Mrs. Maratee left?

Kwan told me you were waiting out here.

I wanted to come and say hi.

What business do you have with me?

I'd like to offer you my thanks

for allowing the two of them to be together.

I think I might understand what you're feeling.

Deep down, you probably want to separate them.

But the love for your daughter

made you choose this course.

I'm sorry about what happened.

And I'd rather let sleeping dogs lie.

I can only hope that

from today on

we can take a step forward together

and focus on our children's happiness.

That's all I have to say to you.

I won't trouble you further.

Krongkaew.

We'll see each other again on the day of the proposal.

I'm all by myself over here. The food is not to my liking either.

When will you graduate?

I'll bring Dad to ask for your hand in marriage.

I'm all by myself over here. The food is not to my liking either.

When will you graduate?

I'll bring Dad to ask for your hand in marriage.

Flimsy excuse.

We don't need to be married for me to cook for you.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

I can't help but feel jealous when I see other couples.

I want to experience that moment too.

Give me that.

Your brother is quite the flirt.

I have a special delivery for you.

Smells good. What do we have here?

Glutinous rice balls and sweet egg in coconut milk.

He's all dressed up to deliver the meal to the new teacher.

He charges her a cheaper monthly fee than his own brother-in-law.

I brought you dessert.

Thank you.

What is it? Looks delicious.

Baked mung bean custard.

Wait. Hold on.

Our hair got tangled up.

We have the same hair.

-Yeah, curly. -Right?

It hurts a little.

You're quite the charmer yourself.

I heard you've been buttering up my mom.

That's enough.

Since I love the daughter, I should win over the mom first.

Don't you think so?

Do you want more?

-No, thank you. Not yet. -Please have some more.

-Let me get you some more. -Okay.

That's enough.

It's delicious.

When will you return to Chiang Rai?

I miss you.

What am I thinking?

Tai.

What is this?

Now that you've completed your study, you have a promise to fulfill.

Will you marry me?

I need to think it over.

You're already wearing my ring.

Are you still going to turn me down?

All right, I'll marry you.

What are you daydreaming about?

Are you done?

Yes.

Let's go. We've kept Mom waiting.

Where's the ring that I gave you?

Why aren't you wearing it?

I've been carrying it with me all this time.

Are you happy now?

Let's go.

Chat.

There's no need to rush.

I'd rather spend time with you, just the two of us.

Chat.

You need to be punished for keeping me waiting.

Chat, that's enough.

Will you promise me

that you'll marry me right after your graduation?

I promise.

Words aren't sufficient.

We need to seal it with a kiss.

Chat!

I won't let you go otherwise.

Close your eyes first.

I promise.

THE END

CHIANG RAI ARMY HOSPITAL

Hello?

Hey, Chat.

Is that you, Jak?

What's up?

I'm in Chiang Rai.

What are you doing here?

I'm on a secret mission.
