Original subtitles

Stop.

Stay where you are.

Hands up.

Get up.

Turn this way slowly.

I can't die yet.

Not now.

Oh my gosh.

-Here you go. -What did you get me?

You know me so well, my dear cousin.

Of course, I've been getting it for you every day.

-Right. -I think I've fed you a little too well.

Hey, I'm just chubby.

Okay, if you say so.

Get it straight.

Dad.

Noopook.

What did Uncle Pisut say?

My time in this world is running out.

I want to see you.

My mother wants you to leave with her in two days after she's done with work.

I'm worried about Dad.

I need to go now.

Please relay my message to her.

Are you really going to Chiang Rai by yourself?

I must say I'm worried.

Don't worry.

I'll take care of myself.

-But still-- -Noonoi.

Trust me.

I have to see Dad as soon as I can.

Give me a call

once you have arrived.

I will.

PONG PHA BORDER PATROL, POLICE DIVISION

Greetings, sir.

-Have you met Lieutenant Singh? -No, I was waiting for you, sir.

When did you arrive?

Last night, sir.

Did you go out last night?

Yes, as any single person would.

What about your girl Muay?

Oh, dear.

She comes before anyone else.

Please don't tease me, Captain.

I think we should go.

This way, sir.

Excuse me, sir!

What is it?

I, Police Lieutenant Singh Swangpian,

head of the first platoon

of Border Patrol Police Division 327

-of the Kew Thab Yang Camp-- -Enough.

I'm here to ask for your help.

I should be the one extending the courtesy.

You're right.

Report yourself to me then.

I'm Police Captain M.L. Ronnajak Jutathep,

deputy investigation inspector of the Narcotics Suppression Division, sir.

Satisfied now?

Joking.

I'm always at your service, my friend.

Let's get down to business.

We got Songpol.

Our next target

is Jiew.

PONG PHA-MAESAI BUS TERMINAL

I arrived in Chiang Rai, Noonoi.

I'm in transit to Pong Pha.

I'm at a bus terminal right now.

There is a minibus to Pong Pha,

so don't worry.

MINIBUS

Please buy our bird, ma'am.

Not today, my dear.

I'm not planning on sinning today.

Amen, you will surely be blessed,

but you'll be even more blessed

if you release this bird.

Please look at the poor bird.

It must want freedom

instead of being caged.

Isn't it sad?

We want to release it so badly, but we can't.

Why not?

If we release it

without getting money from doing so,

our mom would spank us.

She's right. Our mom also said

she wouldn't give us food if we went home empty-handed.

There, there.

Don't cry. I will buy it.

Thank you, ma'am.

So where are we releasing it?

-Over there. -Okay, let's go.

Would you mind buying my last frog, pretty please?

You can cook many delicious dishes with it.

You can't do this. Release it now.

Wild mountain frogs are at risk of extinction. Do you know that?

We must protect them.

If we don't stop eating and selling them,

they will go extinct.

What does "go extinct" mean?

It means all of them will disappear

from this Earth.

You're definitely lying.

You just don't want to buy it from us.

Yes, you're lying.

MINIBUS, CHIANG RAI-WIANG

Somjeed, the minibus is leaving. Let's go.

Let's go.

Liar.

Liar.

MINIBUS, CHIANG RAI-WIANG

When does the van to Pong Pha leave?

It left just a second ago.

When does the next one leave?

At this hour…

tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Oh, no.

But there's another one there.

All right.

You can trust him.

I see him every day.

The drug factory you're looking for

is across the border.

It's on this hill.

This is the only route they can take to cross to our side.

My intel said that

Jiew's Red Dragon gang

is transporting their drugs over today.

That's great.

We can wait for them at the checkpoint.

How about that?

We can't do that.

Why?

We're no match for them in numbers

and knowledge of the area.

They have an edge on us.

What are the obstacles?

Radio communications

can be cut off in this area.

Everyone, remember.

The most important thing is the villagers' lives.

Don't risk losing even a single life.

By the way,

I still don't know your name.

Do you mind telling me your name?

I'm Noopook.

Noopook?

Do you mean those little rats?

Oh, my. What a cute name.

Oh, right.

I totally forgot.

I'm Jantip,

but my friends in the city

call me Justin.

I'm single

and ready to mingle

with someone who makes my heart jingle.

I'm the nicest guy

in Pong Pha.

I tell you, if you visit my house,

I will take you around

and explore every nook and cranny there.

How's everything on your side, Sergeant?

Everything is all good, sir.

Copy that.

Is the signal here so bad that you need two walkie-talkies?

This one is for communicating with my sister

in case of an emergency

and whenever

she is mad at me.

I can tell you love her a lot.

We only have each other,

so, of course,

I love her.

I even ask her approval

before I marry.

You know what?

What I want to do the most in my life

is make her dreams come true,

be it studying

or being whatever she wants.

All right,

I'm rooting for you.

If she decides to go to a college in Bangkok when she grows up,

she's welcome to stay at my house.

Hey, you said it.

Promise?

Promise.

What's wrong?

What's going on, son?

Don't embarrass me.

What's wrong with it?

Well, I don't know either.

It normally works just fine.

You ran out of fuel.

How do you know that?

Look at the gauge.

What do we do now?

Well…

I guess I will have to get someone to drop you off at Pong Pha.

Once you get there,

please do me a favor by getting me some fuel from my house.

I don't know where your house is.

Come on.

Don't worry about that.

My house is the biggest one in Pong Pha.

Someone is coming. Let's go.

Stop.

Please stop.

What can I do for you?

I ran out of fuel.

Are you going to Pong Pha?

If you do, can you let her tag along?

It's okay.

People here are kind. Don't worry.

I'm going there anyway, so this is fine.

Come, I'll give you a lift. It's nothing.

Thank you.

Believe me. You'll be fine.

This way.

Leave this to me. We are no strangers.

Thank you. You should go.

-This way. -Go. Don't be scared.

Who's that?

-Who's she? -What a lovely catch.

Sergeant,

there are cars coming.

Hello, sir.

Where are you going?

I'm giving her a lift to the village up the road.

We need to check your cars.

Of course, sir.

Hey!

They need to check our cars.

Pha.2 calling Pha.1.

Two cars have broken through our checkpoint.

I spotted roughly ten of them,

fully armed and driving vegetable trucks.

Pull over. Let me out of the car.

Stay still if you don't want to die.

CAPTAIN 91'S FARM

Get out! Move!

Let's go.

Enjoy.

Mha, just kill her.

She's such a burden.

Go!

Watch out.

Come on!

This way.

Damn it.

Damn it.

Screw it.

Singh.

Pha.1 calling Pha.2.

An officer is injured. We need someone over now.

I can't do this.

I can't do it anymore.

You must hold on.

Who is going to take care of your sister if you're gone?

You.

Please

take care of Somjeed for me.

Promise me

that you will take care of her.

Promise me.

Tell her

I'm sorry I can't make it back.

Tell her

that I love…

her.

Singh.

Singh!

Stop.

Stay where you are.

Hands up.

Turn this way slowly.

Why are you kidnapping me?

-You have no right to do this. -You'll find out soon.

Question her.

Yes, sir.

I promise…

that I will make them pay for this.

I will hunt all of them down

and punish them.

I promise.

Tell me now.

Who else was there with Mha?

I told you I don't know.

I'm not one of them.

Tell me the truth!

You were in their car,

but you're saying you're not one of them.

That's impossible.

You're just…

I bet you're running out of excuses.

Excuse me, sir.

This woman didn't lie.

I found this man with an empty tank.

His words match hers.

I also checked her ID card.

It's official.

Can I go now?

Go ahead.

You just can't apologize, can you?

But thank you

for saving my life.

I hope we never meet again.

Excuse me, sir.

PONG PHA BORDER PATROL, POLICE DIVISION

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

You didn't know they were bad people.

Let's do this.

I will give you a lift.

Get in the car.

PONG PHA BORDER PATROL, POLICE DIVISION

Thank you.

Hold on.

Is your tank filled?

I won't hitchhike again.

It's good to go.

I asked the police for some fuel just now.

It's enough to drop you off in the city

and come back home.

Let's go.

PONG PHA BORDER PATROL, POLICE DIVISION

PONG PHA BORDER PATROL, POLICE DIVISION

We're almost there.

What?

Where did it go?

What are you looking for?

The handkerchief my dad gave me.

Did you drop it somewhere?

I don't know.

All right.

We're here.

Thank you so much.

No worries. Tell me if you need help with anything.

My house isn't far from here.

Thank you once again.

Dad.

Tears don't suit you, my dear.

Look.

They are ruining your beauty.

Why did you only tell me now?

I didn't want to make you worry.

I will take you back to Bangkok to get treatment.

I won't make it there, dear.

Let me stay here.

I don't want to be your burden.

You can't stay here alone.

Please let me take care of you.

Dad.

Dad.

Where is your medicine? I will get it for you.

No need, dear.

Noopook.

Can you fetch the red box in the cabinet for me?

My time is near.

I have something for you.

What's this?

It's your mother's brooch.

She left it for you when you were small.

I have kept it safe since.

This belonged to my mom?

That's right.

Remember.

From now on,

always keep it with you.

Come closer.

I need to tell you something.

It's time…

that you know the truth.

Your biological mother is still alive.

Dad.

Dad.

Singh.

I thought you would be back tomorrow.

Jak, what are you doing here?

Singh isn't back yet,

but he should be back soon.

I have been waiting for him

the whole night.

I should have waited for him at Papung's house.

Somjeed.

Don't wait for him anymore.

Why not?

He can't come back to you anymore.

Jak, this isn't funny.

Singh asked you to prank me, right?

He isn't with us anymore.

Stop with your prank. It's not funny.

I'm going to find him.

Somjeed.

Let go of me, Jak.

Let go.

He would never leave me.

He promised to buy me a cake today.

Let go of me.

He's still looking for a cake,

so he's letting you buy him time, right?

I don't want cake anymore,

so give him back to me, Jak.

Singh.

Happy birthday, my little monkey.

You gave me bananas last year, and this year, it's a watermelon.

I don't want fruit anymore.

But they're good for your health.

Fine, I'll buy you a cake next year.

I promise.

Come on.

You promised. If you can't keep it, you will turn into a dog.

A dog?

Jeez. All right, blow the candle.

Let me feed you.

Let go of me.

Let go.

Jak, let go of me.

Can you tell Singh to come back to me?

Somjeed.

Why don't you put the urn down for now?

Are you hungry?

I'll grab some food for you.

Somjeed.

You need to eat something.

You haven't had anything since this morning.

I'll come back tomorrow then,

but you must talk to me, okay?

I changed my mind. I will stay here with you.

I'm worried about you.

I want to be alone.

Somjeed.

I brought you food.

I'm putting it outside.

I'm sorry, Singh.

I don't know what else to do to make her feel better.

I sent our men to search everywhere for Mha,

but we found no trace of him.

He's probably avoiding people.

Have you checked forest edges?

Not yet, I'll check it out

after this.

Good.

The sooner we get him,

the sooner we get his boss.

Has she been refusing to eat?

Yes.

She has been in her room since yesterday.

I will check her out

if she doesn't eat by noon.

This is bad.

Shall we get her relatives?

She has no relatives.

Does this mean we have to send her to an orphanage?

Somjeed, you're in trouble.

Listen.

They want to send you to an orphanage.

Really?

Yes, I heard them say it just now.

What do we do?

If they send you to an orphanage,

we won't get to see each other again.

I'm going to run away.

Where to?

Anywhere but here.

Let me come with you.

I will be wherever you are.

But where should we go?

I will stay here,

and I won't go back home

unless Jak and the others leave me alone.

I go with whatever you say,

but first, you must eat something.

Let me catch you some fish.

Is it good?

Yes.

Somjeed.

You must eat something.

Come out and talk to me.

Is something wrong, Somjeed?

Answer me.

I will break in if you don't.

Hello, Sarge.

What brings you here?

This is Captain Ronnajak, Lieutenant Singh's friend.

Hello.

Did Somjeed come here?

No, she didn't,

but Papung told me this morning that he would go see her.

What's the matter?

Somjeed ran away from home.

What?

Where did she go?

I don't know either.

Somjeed, we need to leave.

Captain Jak is at my house.

How do you know him?

I don't know him.

I don't believe you.

I'm asking what your relation to him is.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm staying here with Singh.

Somjeed, don't be so stubborn.

You have no relatives.

Plus, you're still a girl.

I can't leave you here, no matter what.

I'm not going anywhere,

and if you won't listen, I'm going to run away

so you won't find me.

Somjeed, can you be reasonable?

I don't care. I'm not going to an orphanage.

I can stay on my own.

An orphanage?

You're taking me to an orphanage. I'm not going there.

Who told you I would take you there?

I overheard your conversation with the sergeant.

Papung,

learn to hear it through next time.

I'm not taking you to an orphanage.

Let me stay here then.

No, you can't stay here.

Why can't she? My dad is kind.

Will you zip your mouth?

You were lucky the captain spotted you.

You wouldn't be spewing your nonsense here otherwise.

Somjeed.

You can see what Papung's family is like.

His parents have their own responsibilities.

Singh is dead.

This place isn't safe for you anymore.

You saw

what would have happened if I hadn't arrived in time.

Fine, I'll go with you, but…

Papung must come with me.

He won't leave me.

I won't leave him either.

No, Somjeed.

We can't take him with us.

He has a family,

and his father won't let him come.

You can take him.

He's yours.

What?

Why are you giving him away so easily?

There is no future

for him here.

You see, Captain,

I have many children.

I can't afford his education.

He will have a better future

if he goes with you.

He can also keep Somjeed company.

I brought you home, Dad.

Stay here with me.

Vilairumpa.

No, don't.

This is…

This is…

No!

Vilairumpa…

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

No!

I didn't want things

to turn out this way.

I'm so sorry, Vilairumpa.

I'm really sorry, dear.

It's your mother's brooch.

She left it for you when you were small.

It's time…

that you know the truth.

Your biological mother is still alive.

If you happen to find her…

ask her to tell you the truth.

I'm sorry…

for only telling you now.

It's okay, Dad.

I'm not mad at you.

I understand

you have your reasons.

You should get some rest now.

We can talk later.

Remember.

Your parents are good people.

They have done all this…

out of their love for you.

You didn't come downstairs for dinner,

so I brought you some milk.

Here you go.

Thank you.

What brooch is this?

It belongs to my biological mother.

Dad gave it to me before he passed away.

Your biological mother?

She's still alive.

I'm going to find her.

I will help you.

But where should we start from?

I have an idea.

Let's start with our close relatives.

I don't know what symbol this is.

But do you happen to know

who my mother is?

I don't know.

Pisut never told me about it.

And I don't know

where your mother is

or how she is.

Were you always aware

that Noopook's mother was alive?

Why did you keep it from her?

Your uncle asked me to keep it from her.

We don't know what happened to your mother.

For your safety,

he asked me to keep it a secret.

I'm going to find her.

I disagree.

You still don't know who she is.

How are you going to find her?

Calm down, Mom.

She hasn't started yet.

Please don't discourage her.

I'm not discouraging her.

I just think

that she will make an effort to find Noopook

if she really wants to meet her.

A mother can never cut her ties

with her own child.

My mom disapproves.

What are you going to do?

I understand where she's coming from.

But I want to meet my mom.

Do you still insist on finding her?

Please don't tell Auntie this.

Your heart rate is normal.

You're fine, Great-Grandma.

You're just fatigued from being kept awake

by the nightmare last night.

Chat, I won't be able to rest in peace

if I don't get to meet her.

Her eyes that I saw in my dream

were very scary.

They were really scary.

Please don't worry, Great-Grandma.

Leave this to us.

We will find

Ms. Vilairumpa for you.

Okay.

Find her as soon as you can.

I want to apologize to her

to put an end to this

and let go of our grudge.

Please don't worry.

Who gave this letter to Great-Grandma?

I'm sorry, Mr. Chat.

I really had no idea

that the letter was sent by Ms. Vilairumpa.

As you're aware, she had stopped sending them a long time ago.

All right.

From now on, you must let us check

every letter addressed to Great-Grandma

before giving them to her. All right?

Yes, sir.

I'm counting on you.

Okay.

You can get back to work.

Yes, sir. Thank you.

We are here.

Oh, my gosh.

Your house is so big.

It's just like a palace.

It's like what I saw on your TV, Somjeed.

Come, let's get inside.

Let's go.

You got here quite fast.

I'm all sore driving all the way here.

This is Somjeed,

Singh's sister. And this--

Hello, I'm Papung.

This is Poom,

my brother.

I see,

so you're Somjeed.

Singh often told me about you.

Now we meet.

So this is what a naughty girl looks like.

Hey, do you know

that you were making Singh very worried

by locking yourself up in the room?

Jak didn't tell me.

Singh did.

Believe me.

Singh

is very worried about you.

Poom.

That's enough.

You're making them scared.

Fine.

Jeez.

They are Kaimuk

and Pom.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Hello. -Hello.

These two will be staying here as my siblings.

I'll leave them in your care.

Guys.

They will be taking care of you.

Tell them if you need anything.

-Kaimuk. -Yes?

Take them to their rooms.

Pom, take their bags.

-Yes, sir. -Thank you.

It's okay.

-Okay. -Papung,

Somjeed, let's go upstairs.

Let's go upstairs.

This way, please.

The bed is so big, Somjeed.

-Come and jump on it. -Oh my.

Please come down, Papung.

This isn't your bed. Please come down.

This is Somjeed's bed.

Yours is in the next room.

Aren't we staying in the same room?

-Yes. -Why?

No, I want to stay in the same room as Somjeed.

She's a girl, and you're a boy.

You two can't stay in the same room.

No, I don't want this.

Papung.

Let's take a look at your room.

I will take you there.

I have my own room?

That's right.

Let's go.

Somjeed.

I'll come back and help you put your things away, all right?

Okay.

Stay here with me, Singh.

Singh said thank you.

Stop joking with me. This isn't funny.

It's true.

You're lying.

Did he really follow us here?

Well,

that's his sister.

So, how are you planning to take care of the kids?

I don't know if I'll find time to take care of them.

This means

you won't have time to go to parties anymore, will you?

Those girls must be sad.

Can't you see that I'm stressed?

But you stay here.

You can take care of them.

Come on, Jak.

I don't have time for this.

That commercial actress

named Pingpong,

do you still want her number?

Help me.

If you agree, I'll give you the rest.

You know

how things get busy at the Air Force.

I will be in big trouble

if you don't help me.

I will think about it.

Don't you feel sad for them?

Of course, I feel sad for them,

but I think

you're missing some numbers.

But I won't bother you.

You have enough on your plate.

I'll try to manage this on my own.

Fine.

I don't want it anymore.

Joking.

Of course, I want it.

Since you have been entrusted to care for the kids, you must do it well.

You can't neglect them.

We can help each other.

I thought you wouldn't take it.

I agreed to help you

because I care about the kids.

Do you care about the kids or your girl?

The kids, of course.

Pingpong's number

is just one of the reasons I'm doing this.

Make sure you keep your word.

Of course, I'll do my best.

-To take care of Pingpong? -Yes, I will check on her all day.

Hey, don't be silly. I'm talking about the kids.

What is it?

Chat wants to see me.

I'll have to leave the kids to you. I'll be right back.

Okay.

-Hey! -You won't get her

if you only look at the number.

Call her.

I know.

Stupid, you scared me.

Pingpong's number.

Why did you call me here?

Ms. Vilairumpa sent a letter to Great-Grandma Orn.

What did you say?

Did she send another letter?

Does Great-Grandma know about it?

Jaew didn't know it was sent by Ms. Vilairumpa,

so she gave it to her.

She has had nightmares since then.

"All of you Jutatheps are deceitful.

You didn't keep the promise.

May all of you be doomed."

I didn't think she would send another one.

Right.

So what do we do, Phet?

I don't think she will stop with just this.

There's only one way.

We must find her

and tell her to stop doing this.

If she doesn't,

Great-Grandma's condition will get worse.

I agree with you, Phet.

Great-Grandma Orn also wants us to find Ms. Vilairumpa

so she can apologize to her.

I asked Mrs. Maratee

about Ms. Vilairumpa once, but she had no clue.

Right.

We have also done everything we could

to find her.

Well then,

we will need your help, Jak.

There's no postage stamp on the letter.

She must have delivered it herself.

It could be that

she isn't far from us.

Let me check the letter

and find her as soon as possible.

A new drug?

Ms. Kej,

I want this dress.

I think it suits me better.

Mr. Police-plus-model.

-Are you okay? -No.

I don't dare face Noopook.

I don't know if she still hates me.

Noopook.

Long time no see.

You're still the same.

Mr. Jak, I--

Are you saying she is fat, just like before?
