Original subtitles

Annie's symptoms are similar to those of pregnancy.

-Pregnancy? -Pregnancy?

Lai is very kind.

She makes me my favorite treats every now and then.

Don't you find it strange?

The two of you have no family ties,

but she seems particularly concerned about you.

If Noopook is Ms. Vilairumpa's daughter,

will Jak's relationship with her be put through the wringer?

It's going to be a big problem.

Are you scared?

Yeah.

Everything about this terrifies me.

What if we bump into someone I know?

Or the press?

What will happen?

Don't be scared.

Whatever the result,

we will get through this together.

Shall we go?

Hold on.

I don't want to draw attention.

Let's go.

Wait a second.

Are you really going like this?

Isn't this going to draw more attention?

Not at all. Let's go.

I even put on a disguise,

but she could still recognize me.

I'm sure she didn't recognize you.

But you're sticking out like a sore thumb.

-Let me. -Wait.

-Hey, you. -This is plenty.

That won't do. What if they recognize me?

They won't. Your face is half covered. Only a superhuman could figure it out.

Why don't you sit down?

I'll talk to the staff.

Don't put it back on. Go sit down.

-We're hoping to get a pregnancy test. -I see.

-Can you please fill out this form? -Sure.

I've arrived at the hospital.

Which floor is it?

I see. Having an X-ray? What about…

We need to get out of here, stat.

Come on, we've come all this way. Let's not have a change of heart now.

I haven't changed my mind, but my mom is here.

We have to go. Right now.

Hurry.

That was close.

Let's hightail it out of here.

Grandpa…

turned down the request.

He said he didn't feel ready to meet the two of you.

What if I go by myself to see him?

You are our son.

I have no doubt M.R. Dhevapan Dhevaprom won't grant you a visit either.

Was what happened so serious that Jak wouldn't even be granted a visit?

It's a dark chapter in his life and ours, one that we all want to forget.

Did it have to do with the woman named M.L. Vilairumpa Dhevaprom?

Could you tell me about M.L. Vilairumpa?

If you're really the daughter of Vilairumpa…

I think you have the right to know.

Back in the day,

the previous generation of Jutathep and Dhevaprom

made a marriage pact for their descendants.

My brothers

didn't go along with it.

They found the girl of their dream. None of them were of Dhevaprom descent.

Then came my turn. I was the last one left.

I was the last hope for the elders of the two families.

They went ahead with the engagement between Vilairumpa and myself

despite the fact that I wasn't in love with her.

Then one day,

I met Peangkwan

and fell in love.

When Vilairumpa found out,

she couldn't accept it.

She reported everything to Grandma Orn.

Grandma Orn always had a soft spot for her

and would take her side in everything.

Grandma Orn spared no effort in breaking us up.

I'll take care of my girl.

Peangkwan, you've really let me down.

But I wouldn't have it.

I made a decision to bring Peangkwan

to formally greet Grandma Orn and Grandma Eied.

I tried all I could to win them over.

When Grandma Eied fell ill, I was by her side to tend to her.

But her condition took a turn for the worse.

Grandma!

Only after the doctor had examined her

did we become aware that

Grandma Eied was poisoned.

I was named the prime suspect.

Kwan,

where did you get this poison?

How dare you hurt Grandma?

So…

who was the culprit?

Vilairumpa.

Her obsession

drove her over the edge.

She poisoned Grandma Eied and intended to pin the blame on me.

When the truth came out,

Grandma Orn was taken aback

and utterly devastated by Vilairumpa's action.

She went as far as to call off the engagement.

But Vilairumpa adamantly refused.

She claimed that Grandma Orn had been giving her hope

by saying she's the only woman worthy of Ronnaphee.

To her, a marriage between her and Ronnaphee was a surety.

The status of a Jutathep's daughter-in-law is mine.

It belongs to me. Only me.

The shock and dismay

messed her up mentally so much so that she needed hospitalization.

Phee.

Grandma Orn. Grandma Eied.

After that, she ran away

and disappeared without a trace.

This is the guilt that has been eating up everyone's insides.

We've been making an effort to locate her.

But it appears that she didn't want to be found.

Grandpa himself

has been holding onto the hope that she'd someday return.

I want a chance to meet her again

to resolve the past conflict.

If you genuinely are Vilairumpa's daughter,

there's a strong possibility that we'll see her again.

You're back?

Have you eaten?

I've already eaten.

What about you, Grandpa?

I have eaten.

Are you…

thinking about Aunt Vilairumpa?

That's right.

I'm worried.

I couldn't help but wonder

how she's doing.

I wonder

if she's fallen on hard times out there.

Grandpa.

Have you ever seen this brooch?

This brooch… how did you

come to acquire it?

M.R. Ronnaphee

asked me to show it to you.

He told me

he hoped that he could meet you

to discuss this brooch

with its owner.

I'm eager to meet M.R. Ronnaphee

and the owner

of this brooch.

Certainly.

I'll let them know.

My daughter…

are we finally going to meet after all this time?

Dear Lord and Divine Protector,

please bestow Noopook with protection and blessings

and keep her away from all adversity.

Karma always comes back to bite you.

Karma is a result of one's actions.

But I wasn't the one who acted.

Some karma

is inherited from our past lives.

That karma we cannot rectify.

I just don't get why it had to be Noopook and I that got thrown into this minefield.

Listen to me.

We cannot undo the past.

But we can make the best of our present.

Have confidence in yourself.

You're not one to get scared, no?

This time, I am scared.

I'm scared of what Noopook might do.

Thank you very much, Kwanruetai.

I'll be there to see your grandpa.

Come take a seat.

What good timing.

M.R. Dhevapan Dhevaprom is willing to meet with all of us

and Noopook.

She'll soon learn the truth.

Why don't you give her a call, Jak?

Hold on. Where are you going?

Aren't you going to call Noopook?

I'm going to see her

and talk to her face-to-face.

Talk to her face-to-face?

He's a chip off the old block.

Back in the day, your dad would turn up at my house at every opportunity.

Even when there was no reason at all.

I was a man in love. I just wanted to see you.

Excuse me.

Please accept this.

Thank you.

May you be blessed.

Please hold up.

A grave misfortune is on its way.

You and those around you

might find yourself in dire straits.

You better be careful.

That's all I can say.

Thank you.

Why did you bring me here? Do you have something to tell me?

M.R. Dhevapan Dhevaprom agreed to our making a visit.

He said he wanted you there.

Are you happy?

What about you?

Are you happy for me?

Of course I am.

Why wouldn't I?

You're finally going to find out who your birth mother is.

If things turn out as you've hoped,

you'll get to meet your real mom.

If he accepts me into the family

but refuses to acknowledge you,

what are you going to do?

Noopook.

I'm going to do everything in my power

to overcome the hurdles in our way.

Have you heard of the saying

"Love conquers all."

You were the one who left us.

Why are you coming back now?

Who was it that forced me to flee here?

Wasn't it because of your straying?

You never made me feel like I was part of your family, not even for a second.

Is there no hope for the two of us

to return to what we used to be?

Can I speak to our son?

Okay.

Please do me a favor.

Don't mention anything to him.

Let me be the one to tell him. Can you do that?

Hold on a second.

Plawan.

Yes, Dad?

Your mom is on the phone.

Mom called?

Hello, Mom.

How are you?

You're coming back?

Dad, Mom is coming back.

Did you buy toys for me?

Lots of them?

Anything for Dad? If there is, Dad is going to be so happy.

I'm glad that the three of us are finally reuniting.

Okay. Come back quickly, Mom.

Grandma.

Why don't you invite Annie to offer alms with us?

Sure.

Why don't you come join us?

-Let's give alms offerings, dear. -Yes, ma'am.

Annie.

Mom.

Come home with me.

No, I'm not going.

You can't be seriously considering living in this rat trap, are you?

We should be able to resolve this in a civilized manner, ma'am.

Don't ma'am me.

Is this guy the one responsible?

Stay well away from her.

She's too good for you.

You don't have what it takes to provide for my daughter.

Come, you brat.

-Let's go. -I'm not going.

-Annie. -Let go.

-Deal with him. -Yes, ma'am.

-You come with me. -Don't.

Come here!

Stop beating up my grandson or I'm going to blow your guts to pieces.

Do you want to be six feet under? Try me.

No, I don't. Let's make a run for it.

Get lost.

Jack. Jack, my dear.

My little prince.

Are you okay, Jack?

My dear. God bless you.

Why did you do that? Why did you hurt him?

That doesn't even begin to make up for the pain you and him have caused me.

You're with his child, aren't you?

I saw you at the hospital in the OB/GYN ward.

Mom.

I'll never let anyone tarnish my image.

I'll never allow you to stay with that low-life moron.

And I won't let you carry it!

That concludes our discussion for today. The meeting is over.

Arkom, have you seen Jack?

Why wasn't he present for the meeting today?

I'm also curious.

I haven't seen him since this morning.

He didn't apply for leave.

Maybe he's sick?

I'm opening the registration for the students who wish

to compete for a role in the Mother's Day performance.

When I'm done with that,

I'll head over to Mr. Jack's house to check on him.

-Thank you for the trouble. -No worries.

If you're needed elsewhere,

I can take charge of the registration for you.

You wouldn't mind?

It's no big deal.

Don't you find it strange

that Nooyai took it upon himself to offer to help?

Also, during the meeting when we discussed the plan for the Mother's Day performance,

he didn't voice any objections, nor did he order a budget cut.

Could it be because it's not my responsibility?

I have a feeling

there's something fishy going on.

Hello.

Hello.

Are you overseeing things yourself?

Yes, Mom.

Mr. Arkom has to take care of something.

I offered to stand in.

That's great. I'll leave this to you.

Glad to help.

Are you heading home?

Do you need a ride?

Don't worry about it. I can manage on my own.

You should stay to monitor things.

Okay, Mom.

-Be safe. -Thank you.

Dad, I'd love to get a role in the performance.

Why is that?

If you don't get the role, your mom and I will be okay with it too, you know?

I want to play a role as a present for Mom

on Mother's Day.

But so many students have signed up.

I'm afraid I might not get it.

I can grant her wish.

Are you able to help my daughter?

Of course.

After we've come to an agreement, that is.

I want to bet on the soccer matches.

I've got money. I won't be borrowing this time.

Do thank Mr. Jiew for me.

Right. I'll have a look

and decide which matches to pick.

I need to think about it.

Do you want to try some crispy jellies, Mom?

They came out really pretty.

Noopook?

Didn't you just come back? Are you heading out already?

Jak is picking her up to go somewhere.

May I have your permission to go with Jak, Auntie?

Speak of the devil.

You may go.

You're a grown-up now.

I love that you're so open-minded, Mom.

Not making things difficult for your kids.

Are you ready, Noopook?

I'm ready.

DHEVAPROM MANSION

Please come in.

Which one of you is the owner of this brooch?

It's Jaipisut.

Can you come closer?

Who did you get this brooch

from?

My stepdad entrusted it to me before he passed.

He said

my mom

left this brooch for me.

What is your mom's name?

I'm not sure. My stepdad didn't tell me.

My aunt, who raised me,

doesn't have any information about my mom.

All she knows is that my mom left me

and vanished without making any contact in the years since.

Pardon me for intruding.

We all have questions regarding the origin of the brooch.

Do you happen to know its real owner, sir?

I do.

I know her very well.

This brooch

belonged to my mom.

She passed it on to me.

I then gifted this brooch

to Vilairumpa.

This brooch

belongs to your mom.

You are

my granddaughter.

Can I…

have a hug?

About this matter,

I'm thankful to you,

M.R. Ronnaphee.

You as well.

Peangkwan.

At the very least,

you made it possible for this old man

to meet the person closest to my daughter,

Vilairumpa.

Regarding Vilairumpa,

I'll be helping you look for her, sir.

I want to ask her for forgiveness

and that she stop…

Phee.

We need to inform him.

Jak,

you know my intention, don't you?

We'll have to ask her to stop

sending threatening letters to Grandma Orn.

Grandma Orn has been tormented by nightmares,

guilt, and fear in all these years.

I want to meet Vilairumpa

even if I couldn't be sure that she's going to forgive me,

forgive Peangkwan and Grandma Orn.

It shouldn't have come to this.

For everything,

I…

am sorry.

I apologize

on her behalf.

It wasn't all your fault.

All of us…

played a part in pushing her to the breaking point.

I must locate her

before she finds her way to Grandma Orn.

Holy cow.

They actually went that far, huh?

These scratches are nothing.

I'm more concerned about Annie.

I wonder how she's coping right now.

259399.

If there's a baby,

I don't want to lose it.

My mom wants to get rid of it.

From Annie.

Yes.

Who are you calling?

I forbid you from making calls.

Starting now, you're grounded.

You're to stay put.

How far along are you?

I haven't had an exam yet.

Maybe you're not pregnant.

I'm going to marry you off either way.

Mom,

Jak has no interest in me.

He's in love with someone else.

Jak is not interested? That's fine.

I can find you another candidate.

Just be ready.

Mom.

Mom.

Thank you for lending me your men, Ms. Kummala.

If it's not too much to ask, could you please do me another favor?

If there's a baby,

I don't want to lose it.

My mom wants to get rid of it.

From Annie.

I'm getting Annie out from there.

How will you do that?

I'm going to her house tomorrow.

That's too risky.

Surely, Annie's mom

is not going to be all welcoming

and ready with open arms for you to see Annie.

I know it won't be easy.

But I have no choice.

It's either go big or go home.

Leave your fear behind. Step forth with resolution.

You might as well give it everything you've got, my grandson.

Ma'am,

don't you think he needs a word of caution?

Why bother?

He's going to do what he must regardless.

I was the one who raised him.

I know what makes him tick.

Go for broke, my dear grandson.

Thank you for your support, Grandma.

Don't be scared.

Whatever the result,

we will get through this together.

Why did you never mention to me

that Great-Grandma Orn has been receiving letters?

I was scared.

Scared of what you might do.

Suppose I find my mom,

but she

refuses to forgive your parents

and your great-grandma…

What do you think I should do?

Noopook,

we haven't found her yet.

No need to stress over it now.

I think you do realize what I'll decide to do when I find my mom.

No.

I won't break up with you.

Will you really let this end things between us?

There's no…

I'm in love with you, Noopook.

Do you not love me?

Hi, Noopook. You're back?

What's wrong?

I…

went to see my grandpa.

Did you find out who your real mom is?

Yes, I did.

But we still have no leads on her whereabouts.

At least you got to meet your grandpa.

That's a good start.

Aren't you happy?

I'm happy.

You don't look very happy though.

My mom is

M.L. Vilairumpa Dhevaprom.

She had a falling out with Jak's parents.

When we manage to locate Ms. Vilairumpa,

Jak and Noopook will be faced with a colossal obstacle, won't they?

This issue is what has been bothering Uncle Phee and Aunt Peangkwan.

As all of you are well aware, Jak isn't one to give up easily.

He's going to fight his way through.

If I were him, I'd never stand down either.

I also believe that everyone here would opt for the same course of action.

What would you suggest we do to help Jak, Petch?

What?

They beat him and left him with bruises?

Precisely. His face is all black and blue.

What worries me is that

Jack is intent on going to Miss Annie's house today.

He obviously cares for her a great deal

to risk going there today.

Let's focus on coming up with what we can do to help him.

I'm afraid that

by going to Miss Annie's house today,

Jack is going to get another beating, one more severe.

I'll rush there to stop him.

I have no class this morning. Will you do the roll call for me, Noonoi?

Noopook.

I suggest you ask Jak for help.

He'll be able to do something.

-Hello, ma'am. -Hi, Noopook.

Are you here for Jack?

Yes, I am.

He left just a minute ago.

-He already left? -Yes.

We better hurry.

-Goodbye. -Please excuse us.

Okay.

-What the… -It's me.

How come you're here?

We need to talk, Jack.

Let me deal with this first.

Wait.

You can't go in there.

If you do, you might never get to see Annie again.

Let's find somewhere to talk.

What were you thinking?

Going in there is basically suicide.

I must get her out of there

at any cost.

You should take a step back and think it over.

Time is running out.

I'm worried about Annie.

She sent me this message.

A baby?

What does that mean?

"Mom wants to get rid of it."

What does that mean?

Well…

Annie and I…

We slept together.

How could you do that to Annie?

We were both drunk.

We ended up in bed together while drunk.

Jack!

That's a serious matter for us girls.

I'm aware of that.

That's why I've been trying to take responsibility.

I know what I did was wrong.

I'm prepared to own up to my actions.

What are your feelings for Annie?

I like her

to the extent that I'm willing to do everything for her.

I will help you.

Ms. Rossukon isn't going to let you in without a fight.

We need a game plan

before going in.

How can we send a message to Annie?

She left her phone and pager at my house.

From where I stand,

I think the only person who can go inside Annie's house and see her is you, Jak.

I can't just turn up there.

It might tip off Ms. Rossukon.

I only recently called off the engagement plan with Annie.

We can't afford to delay.

I have a way.

I'll never let you take our son with you.

You're clueless when it comes to raising a child.

What our son needs is love. He doesn't need money.

Tell me, where was his mother's love this past year then?

Did it never occur to you

that our son could be longing for his mother's love?

You don't have the legal right to take Plawan away from me.

Didn't you make the decision to abandon us back then?

I wasn't abandoning you.

But you never came back to see us after you up and left.

Who was it that put me off coming back here?

Who was it?

Who was it that stopped me from taking my son with me at the time?

There's no use arguing about it now.

You have my permission to drop by to see our son.

But I'll never let you take our son with you.

I'm going to take him after our divorce is final.

You are getting a divorce?

-Plawan. -But I don't want you to get a divorce.

Plawan.

Even after your dad and I end our marriage,

you'll always be our son.

It won't be the same. It never will be.

I've been counting the days to have you back with us.

Plawan, I… Plawan!

Did you see that?

Just why?

Plawan.

Plawan.

Plawan, please open the door for me.

Wan,

please open the door for me.

Plawan.

This is the best solution for your dad and I.

Will you come with me to live abroad?

What about Dad?

I can't leave him.

Who's going to stay with him?

Plawan.

Mom, can't you come back to live with us?

You already know that

your dad and I are no longer…

You don't love Dad anymore?

Do you love Mom?

I love her.

But…

Listen to me, Plawan.

For two people to stay together,

both parties must be open to compromise.

They need to care for each other.

More importantly,

there must be a mutual understanding.

Love alone does not make up for everything.

What can love make up for then?

-Hello. -May I ask who are you here to see?

I came by hoping to see Noopook.

I see. She should be back already.

My name is M.R. Dhevapan Dhevaprom.

I am Noopook's grandpa.

Come home as soon as you can. You have guests.

The man said he's your grandpa.

From Songsamorn.

Grandpa Dhevapan is at my house.

M.R. Dhevapan,

are you absolutely certain that Noopook is your granddaughter?

The brooch in her possession

is sufficient proof

that she's my granddaughter, a daughter of Vilairumpa's.

A single brooch can't possibly give you a 100% guarantee.

It's enough to verify that

Noopook is my granddaughter.

Noopook

is of Dhevaprom descent.

The complete answer

lies with Vilairumpa.

I wish to meet Vilairumpa again.

Just like you…

wishing to meet your mom.

At present…

my granddaughter, Kwanruetai,

is staying with me at the mansion.

I'd like to request to have Noopook

back in my care

as she's my grandchild,

one of my successors.

If you insist,

I have no objections.

But we also need to

take Noopook's choice into consideration.

Noopook,

would you come to stay with us?

I'm truly grateful for your thoughtfulness, Grandpa.

But would you mind waiting until after we've found my mom?

In the end,

if we're unable to locate her,

I'll move in with you, Grandpa.

Grandpa,

you're not mad at me, are you?

I'm not mad at you. I understand.

But…

you must come to visit me whenever you can.

I'd love your company.

I'll do that, Grandpa.

I'll be going now.

Please watch your step.

Noopook.

I trust that you and Jak

will make it through this.

I'll see you around.

Annie.

Get up. Go wash up and get dressed.

Who am I getting dressed for

when I'm being confined in here?

We have an important guest who's making a visit to see you.

You must be respectful

and impress them.

Do not attempt anything that embarrasses me.

I'm not going down there.

Try me.

If you choose to defy me,

that moron will be the one to take the hit.

Mom.

Mom, please don't hurt Jack.

It's up to you, not me.

I apologize for going against your wish and went ahead to search for my mom.

Mom, please go easy on her.

She simply wanted to find her mom and meet her--

Don't rush to the rescue. Have I said anything yet?

Okay, Mom.

You should brace yourself for a letdown, in case things don't turn out as expected.

Ms. Vilairumpa might not be your mom.

Do you mind sharing how Noopook came to live with you?

I'm sure Noopook's stepdad must have told you something.

Rossukon,

it's about time we meet.

Jiew?

Annie!

"Doctor Direk…"

"Kumlai

Waiyatawee."

Kumlai.

Vilairumpa.

Could they be the same person?
