Original subtitles

Hey, that way.

…right?

Did Ruk come home?

She acts arrogant thinking she's his favorite.

Ruk, open the door.

Ruk!

You stole my husband!

-How could you? -Napa.

-You stole my husband! -Stop it, Napa.

-Stop it. -Let go.

How could you do this to me?

She's basically a child. How can you sleep with her?

I first slept with you when you were her age. Now get out.

I'm not leaving. I'm your wife.

-You stole my husband! -No, Napa.

Enough. Enough is enough.

You don't love me.

Don't be stupid.

Then why did you sleep with me?

Leave if you can't accept it.

Napa!

Your mom has left you under my care. What's your name?

Fahnapa.

I'll adopt and support you.

I see you are a good student.

What would you like as a reward?

I leave that choice to you.

Why don't we go to Japan?

She's just a sugar baby.

She doesn't realize that she's not the first one.

She definitely won't be the last.

Why are you heading to the foundation? Were you raped?

Mister, I work there.

I see. You are an employee there.

Are there many rape victims seeking help?

Most victims suffer domestic violence.

You are sticking your nose in someone else's business.

Domestic violence is illegal.

How do you feel when the police intervene in a couple's fight?

They are intrusive.

KANYAMIT FOUNDATION

How did he get inside?

Mister, stop. Mister.

Mister, outsiders are not allowed on the premises.

What's your business here?

Stop smiling and answer me.

Fon, you are here.

I just saw your missed call.

Yes, I called you.

I ran into a strange taxi driver so I wanted to call someone.

I had to pretend to be on the phone since you didn't answer.

Mai, I've spoken with your mom.

She insists on going home

so there's nothing we can do.

What if something happens again?

Feel free to give us a call at any time.

Remember, do not do something that can destroy your future.

I don't get her.

Your mom isn't the only woman who is too afraid to leave her relationship.

She may not feel confident enough.

It's our job to show your mom

that she does have options and whatever choice she makes,

she will be okay and safe.

Don't worry, Mom.

We'll talk to him when you're ready.

Only the soup is left. Can you eat it?

Of course.

Mhai.

What was the earlier case about?

Domestic violence, as usual.

That boy, Mavin, reached out to us

on his mom's behalf.

Who's the abuser?

-Guess. -His stepdad?

It's his biological dad. He's an alcoholic.

He physically abuses his family when he's drunk

or doesn't have money to buy alcohol.

Women should be brave enough to walk away from those abusive men.

It's hard, Fon.

Given the past patriarchy,

it's challenging to change their beliefs or earn their trust.

So what's the next step?

Mai wants his parents to separate. I support his opinion.

However, his mom doesn't want to sue her husband

so she's going to talk to him first.

It's all we can do right now, Fon.

But I told Mai to contact us right away if anything happens.

I'm going to visit them next week too.

Have you worked on a case

where a man reached out to us before?

He's the first to reach out to us

on his mom's behalf.

Where have you been?

Don't you have school, Mai?

Hey, Mai. What's your problem?

Malai! Teach your son some manners.

I asked him nicely.

I was in a good mood earlier.

Do you want a piece of me?

Your dad asked you a question nicely. You shouldn't have walked away.

He asked if I had school.

My summer vacation started a week ago. Do you expect me to answer him every day?

I was with you all day. What else do you want from me?

-I was trying to help you. -No, that's not true.

You can help me by not fighting with your dad.

That's all I ask of you.

You don't plan to leave him.

I do.

When?

When are you going to talk to him?

What's going on?

Is there something you want to say to me, Mai?

Is there?

Move. I'm asking you nicely.

Do you want a piece of me?

You got it.

-No. -Do you want a piece of me?

-No. -Who raised you?

Mom raised me, not you.

But I made you.

Do it! I'll definitely fight back.

I don't care that you're my dad.

You aren't the only one with hands and feet.

-Mai. Look at him. -Stop it.

Look at this ungrateful son you raised.

-You did a terrible job raising him! -Mom!

-Mai, don't. -You better watch your back.

-Please stop. -Watch your back.

Please stop.

I told you I wanted to leave.

Why did you come back to get abused?

We wouldn't be in this situation if you had listened to me.

You are too young to understand.

Where would we go and what would we do if we left?

Your dad would harass my relatives if he found out we ran away.

That's why I took you to the foundation.

They can help us.

They are outsiders.

They can't help us every time.

No one cares about us, Mai.

I'm sorry, Mai.

You can stay with your aunt

if you wish to leave.

Stop apologizing and making decisions for other people.

If you weren't here, I'd leave.

But since you insist on staying, I won't let him hurt you.

If you truly love me,

stop protecting him

and ordering me not to stand up to him.

My son doesn't get me.

I don't get why you put up with that man either.

I still need him

to buy groceries and drive me to the market.

I can't do it all alone.

You have Mai.

He's old enough to help you out.

Mai has school.

So you are going to keep being that man's punching bag?

He spends all the money you make on alcohol. Is it really worth it?

Also, he beats you up every day.

Listen, if you won't leave him for your sake, do it for Mai's.

Nobody understands

what it's like to be me.

I don't have a choice.

You have many choices but you won't choose one

because you love that jerk.

Malai. Mai.

Is anybody home?

Did we come at the wrong time, Mhai?

Could they be working outside?

It's possible since they sell food at the market.

I should have made an appointment.

I saw a grocery store nearby. Why don't we go buy some drinks?

Mhai.

I thought nobody was home.

I came to check on you since no one answered my calls.

May we come inside?

Sure.

I wasn't expecting you.

You're wasting your time.

My mom won't leave him.

I'm not here for that.

I came to check on you and your mom.

Is there anything you want to tell us?

No.

I have no choice but to endure it

until I lose my patience.

Mai.

Does your dad know about us?

My name is Fon. I'm a social worker at the foundation.

No, he doesn't know.

She told me not to say.

She's afraid

he will hit us.

What about you?

Do you trust

that we will get you two out of this situation?

How are you going to do that when my mom won't cooperate?

Physical assault is against the law

even if it occurs within a family.

If he harms you or your mom again,

take your mom to a safe room,

then call me or Fon right away. Do you understand?

We will ensure that the police take action.

I forgot to serve you water.

I would be proud of him if I was his parent.

Most people still think that sharing household matters with others

is making a mountain out of a molehill.

We can't change everyone's mind.

We get to change someone or a family's life for the better

with every case we work on.

That's what matters to me.

You shouldn't have let them inside.

It will be trouble if somebody tells your dad about them.

I don't care.

If he assaults us again,

I will follow Mhai's advice.

Are you trying to drive me insane?

Do we not have enough on our plate?

Who's at the door? I'll go check.

He's here to collect our rent.

I'll ask him to postpone the rent.

Okay.

What the fuck are you looking at, Mai?

I'm looking at a fucker like you.

Mai, you shithead.

You scum.

You…

-How dare you fight back? -Mai.

-How dare you? -No. Stop, Mai. Stop.

Do me a favor. Please don't hurt him.

-I'm begging you. -Don't bother, Malai.

How could you raise a son

who hits his dad?

Mom!

Mom!

Don't take her money.

-Give it back. -Stay out of it.

Get lost.

-Give it back. -Mai, no.

Mai, stop it. Let him go.

Let him take it.

How can you let him take it? It's your savings.

We haven't paid rent and my tuition.

We can't let him spend all that money.

Look at what he did to you.

I'm going to call Mhai.

Just you wait. I'm going to take him to jail.

Don't do it, Mai.

He's your dad.

He doesn't deserve to be anyone's dad.

Mom, are you hurt?

Go ahead.

Do whatever you want.

Both my husband and son don't care about me.

I don't know how long I can put up with it.

Do you and your dad want me to die

in front of you?

Why would you die when he's the one at fault?

No one cares about me.

You all cause me trouble.

Damn it! I'm trying to help you.

How can you compare me to the man trying to sabotage us?

How is what you are doing any different?

I shouldn't have gone to the foundation with you.

I shouldn't have.

Do you and your dad want me to die

in front of you?

Why would you die when he's the one at fault?

No one cares about me.

You all cause me trouble.

What a coincidence.

Do you remember me, Fon?

I visited your house with Mhai.

Why are you smiling again?

We just met yesterday and you are asking me if I remember you.

What a coincidence though.

Where are you heading this early?

What about you?

I'm heading to work.

Do you live in the area?

You haven't answered my question.

Me?

I'm just getting some fresh air.

Why don't you come to the foundation?

That's not a good idea. I don't want to bother you.

What are you talking about?

Our job would be meaningless

if nobody visited or thought of us.

It's up to you though. You are always welcome there.

I won't mistake you for an intruder anymore.

Don't worry.

Fon.

We've passed the foundation.

You're right.

I guess I fell asleep and missed the stop.

Are you sure? Aren't you just worried that I might be running away from home?

No.

Are you thinking about doing that?

Yes, but I won't do it.

I'm worried about my mom.

She doesn't worry about me though.

She wouldn't have come to the foundation if she wasn't worried about you.

She's afraid I might kill him.

Perhaps I'm no different than him.

You would never do that.

You are better and smarter than that. She knows it.

Why don't we get off at the next stop before we go too far?

Sure.

Shouldn't you be rushing to work?

Let's enjoy this meal while we wait for the traffic to clear up.

I didn't bring any money.

I'll pay for your food as long as you eat less than two portions.

The next meal is on me.

All right. Dig in.

I'm happy to see you eating well.

Where are you heading to next?

I don't know. I'll probably go home.

My friends went on a trip.

Getting a part-time job sounds like an interesting option.

It will give you something to do and take your mind off your worries.

You're right.

Why haven't I thought of it?

I've been worrying about my mom.

I'm sure you have a lot on your mind.

You can talk to me if you have any questions. I'll give you my number.

Thank you.

This sauce is delicious. Try it.

Fon.

Thank you for everything.

Stay in touch. Don't forget the meal you owe me.

I've written it down.

Are you hungry?

Do you want a snack?

Do you?

It's good.

Hello, Lieutenant.

Hello, Mhai and Fon.

Hello.

What happened?

She called to report that her mom was gambling.

We brought her mom in, fined her,

and released her.

After that, she and the girl fought.

She spanked the girl and handed her to us.

And the girl won't go home because she's afraid of a spanking.

Please look after her for a few days.

Once her mom calms down and wishes to take her back,

I'll ask her to go to the foundation.

I'm not going home. I'm going to stay with my dad.

Wait.

Where's your dad?

I don't know.

Don't you live with your dad?

No, I don't remember what he looks like.

What? Then how can we deliver you to him?

Post a video of me with my name on TikTok. He will see it and come pick me up.

They are idiots.

How about this?

Come stay with us tonight. We'll figure out the rest later.

Okay?

You will be staying here until your mom picks you up.

What do you think of this place?

You have many friends here, but they are eating lunch.

I will also be your friend.

You are too old to be my friend. I'm six years old. How old are you?

It's rude to ask people's age, Puifai.

-Let's sit here. -Sure.

Order whatever you want. It's on me.

One fried rice--

Mai.

What are you doing here?

You told me to get a part-time job.

Do you work here?

-Do you like it? -Yes.

You should place an order before you get Mai fired.

Okay.

I'll order crab fried rice.

-Okay. -Make it two.

Sure.

I'm glad to see Mai looking livelier.

I agree. It eases your mind, doesn't it?

Keep the change.

Your service was excellent.

-Thank you. -You are welcome.

-Here you go. -Thanks.

Here's your tip.

You got a lot of tips.

-The customer was very generous. -I'm happy for you.

Honey, I didn't do anything.

Are you planning to cheat on me?

He was just a customer.

Stop talking nonsense.

-Mom! -Stop.

Mom! Open the door.

Open the door!

Don't touch her!

Mai, did you just hit me?

-Come here, you ungrateful son. -Stop.

-Stop. -How dare you hit me?

Enough. Mai, run.

How long will you put up with him?

I've had enough.

If he does this again, I'll settle it to the grave.

Mai.

Don't say that.

Where did you get that idea?

Don't throw your future away.

What future?

You refuse to accept help from the foundation.

So what's your plan?

Mom, please leave him.

Let's run away together.

I'll work hard and support us.

Please, Mom.

Who's going to drive to the market and help me with the business?

I can do it.

I can even quit school to help you.

Enough, Mai.

This is too much for me.

My head hurts.

Here you go again.

I always fight for you,

but you never fight with me.

Mister.

Do you enjoy fighting?

It's not good. You might end up in jail.

Are you deaf?

-No. -So you can talk.

Mister.

What?

Play with me. No one wants to play with me.

Mai.

Have you been waiting long?

I'm glad you called.

Take today off work.

I can't.

But I also can't go looking like this.

I'll help you.

Thank you.

All done.

I'm not familiar with makeup.

I'd be surprised if you were.

I'm a pretty good makeup artist.

Take a look yourself.

It looks great.

Your bruises disappeared.

Right? No one will be able to tell.

You started smiling as soon as the bruises disappeared.

Good for you.

Thank you for your help.

Go to work or you'll be late.

-Go already. -Okay.

-Fon. -Yes.

Can you put makeup on me too?

What for?

Are you going somewhere?

It's 90 baht.

Here's the change. Thank you.

-Give it to me. -Ma'am.

Ma'am, please don't collect the debt today.

I have to pay rent, gas, and groceries today.

You have to pay the money you owe, Malai.

Ma'am, show me some mercy.

Let me postpone the payment one more time.

I won't have money to buy more supplies if you take that money.

That's your problem.

I operate my loan business for profit, not charity.

Keep that in mind.

Ma'am.

Puifai, wake up.

Your mom has come for you.

Do you promise?

Fai, let's go home.

Are you going to spank me again?

No, I'm not. I'm sorry.

It took a few nights of me sleeping here for you to come to your senses.

Are you going to stop gambling?

I'm not taking her back. What kind of kid calls the police on their parent?

She did it out of love.

She wants to break your bad habit.

Love? I spent this month's salary on the fine, all because of her.

That brat.

If you don't take her back,

she's going to look for her dad.

No, she can't go looking for him.

Unless you stop gambling,

you are the one pushing her away.

You have a choice to make.

Will you stop gambling for your daughter?

All right, I'll stop.

Are you sure? I'll call the police on you again if I catch you gambling.

Do you understand?

Yes, I'll stop.

Are you my daughter or my mom?

Since I have to keep lecturing you, you might as well be my daughter.

Come on, let's go home.

Fai, wait for me.

Don't be mad. I'm sorry.

PARK MORE CAFE

What would you like?

One creamy tom yum soup.

-This is yours. -Thank you.

Hello, Mai.

Fon, my first paycheck came. I'm going to give it to my mom.

Thank you for your advice. I'll buy you a meal.

I'll tell her the good news and give her the money.

That was a lot of information.

I'm happy for you, Mai.

Can I stop by the foundation to give you snacks this evening?

Look at you becoming a sugar daddy with your first paycheck.

Don't spend it all.

I won't. I'm very frugal. The snacks don't cost much.

Okay. All right then.

See you this evening.

Thank you.

I wish you the best day of your life.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

MAI

-Offer everything to this place. -Okay.

Hello.

Fon, my mom is dead.

Mai.

Call an ambulance. I'll meet you there.

Malai!

Mai, I'm going to kill you, you ungrateful child.

Mai, listen to me.

Lock yourself inside a room and call an ambulance.

On second thought, I'll call. I'll go to your house with the police.

Do you hear me? Mai?

You killed her, Mai. You killed her.

No, I didn't.

I didn't kill her.

What happened, Fon?

Mai called saying his mom is dead.

What? I'll drive you there.

Let's go. Come on.

-Mink, call Mhai and let her know. -Sure.

Let's go.

KANYAMIT FOUNDATION WOMEN AND CHILDREN PROTECTION CENTER

KANYAMIT FOUNDATION

-Where are you going? -Mai called saying his mom is dead.

I heard his dad yelling in the background.

Rey, call the police and an ambulance.

-Okay. -Fon, come with me. Get in.

-Okay. -I'm counting on you.

KANYAMIT FOUNDATION WOMEN AND CHILDREN PROTECTION CENTER

You, I'm going to kill you.

Mai, you are dead. Open the door.

I'm going to kill you, Mai. Open the door.

Open the door now.

You won't open it, will you?

All right then.

Mom!

Mom!

Mai is not picking up, Mhai.

His dad might have hurt him.

Ask Rey what the police say. Report their family issue too.

Okay.

Mai, open the door.

I said, open the door. Damn it.

Open the door.

Open the door now. I'm going to kill you, Mai.

What's going on?

Open the door.

Don't go inside.

Rong might be armed.

We work for the foundation and the police are on their way.

Could we have male volunteers come with us?

Mai, you ungrateful son.

You killed your mom, Mai.

I'm going to kill you. You killed your mom, you ungrateful son.

Come out here this instant. Come out.

The police and an ambulance are on their way. Come downstairs, Narong.

Who are you? How did you get inside?

Mai killed his own mom. That ungrateful son.

We are representatives of the foundation.

We know what happened.

Where is Mai?

He's inside a room. I'm going to cut his head open.

Here come the police.

Stay calm.

Mai, it's me, Fon.

Open the door.

The police have arrived.

An ambulance is coming.

We are here for you.

Come with us, Mai.

I'm staying with my mom.

I'm staying with her.

RUAMKATANYU FOUNDATION

He killed his mom.

He's the reason she's dead.

Mai, no.

Calm down.

Look at him and his messed-up personality.

I didn't kill her. You are the one who should have died.

Fuck you! You are no longer my son.

I never saw you as my dad.

Keep it together, Mai. Focus on taking your mom out of here.

Let's go.

Arrest him. Put him in a detention center or jail.

I'm standing right here.

You have no right to assault anyone.

What are you talking about? I'm his dad.

Go ahead! Do it!

We work for the foundation

where Malai reported herself as a victim of domestic violence.

Assaulting your son in the presence of the police

will serve as evidence that could result in your arrest for physical assault.

We have been collecting evidence

that you have been physically abusing Malai and Mai.

We can use it as evidence to prosecute you in court, you know.

You bastards tore my family apart.

Are you the reason Mai has been disobeying me?

Malai is dead because all of you kept pressuring her.

Enough, Narong.

Take a good look, everybody.

These nosy people destroyed my family.

Could you not bear to see two people in love that you had to intervene?

Love?

Lovers don't abuse each other. How disgusting.

Don't use love as an excuse to assault anyone.

Enough, Fon. Let the police take care of it.

Narong, come to the station with us.

All of you too.

Let's go.

Let's go.

We'll meet you there.

-Let's go, Mai. -Okay.

That's right.

Fon, call a volunteer lawyer to seek legal advice.

Okay.

Mai, wait here.

Hello, Lawyer Pol, it's me, Fon.

You must be tired.

Take him to get some rest.

Yes, Mhai.

Let's go, Mai.

This room is currently unoccupied.

Mhai wants you to stay here for the time being.

Are you okay with that?

Mhai will come and talk to you.

I will get you some necessities.

Is she going to perform a psychological evaluation?

I'm fine.

I just want to retrieve her body.

Our lawyer is at the hospital, closely working on the case.

I'll let Mhai know that you want to retrieve her body.

I was on my way to give her my first paycheck.

I thought I could ease her burden…

and earn her respect as an adult.

But she left me.

You have to move on with life for your own good.

Good things will happen to you.

You deserve a good life.

I truly believe so.

Why didn't my mom believe

that there were good people out there willing to help her?

Someone like Fon.

KANYAMIT FOUNDATION

Hello.

The autopsy report is out.

Malai committed suicide.

If her relatives have no objections, they can claim her body for the funeral.

Thank you very much.

MALAI KEAWSAWAT, BORN 18TH MAY, 1972

DECEASED 22ND JULY, 2017 45 YEARS OLD

Malai…

Mai!

Take a good look at him.

Mai is an ungrateful child

who caused his mom so much trouble that she killed herself.

Narong, if you are here to cause a scene, please leave.

Did you forget the police's warning yesterday?

She's no better.

She and her foundation

like to tear families apart.

Damn you, hypocrites hiding behind your charity facade.

You're the one who destroyed our family.

Everyone knows you used to abuse Mom every day.

That's why I had to seek their help.

That's what killed her.

All of you put a lot of pressure on her.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have killed herself. Mai, you idiot!

Are you still at it, Narong?

Yes.

Don't worry.

Rest assured Narong won't cause any trouble here.

Thank you.

You are welcome.

Should we sue him for defamation?

If we sued every jerk like him, we'd have ten times as many cases on our hands.

He discourages me.

If you're going to do this job, you can't let the words of these people affect you.

Just focus

on what you're doing.

You could punch until your hand breaks, but your dad wouldn't feel a thing.

You're the only one getting hurt.

Come on, let me clean your wound.

Remember this.

Don't let that man hurt you anymore.

He might be your dad,

but the moment he laid a hand on you,

he was no longer fit to be a dad.

As long as you still feel hurt by his actions,

you'll never be able to escape from him.

Do you understand?

-Nicha is pregnant. -What?

-Look. -How could this happen?

I'm begging you. Get out.

All of you, get out.

We are here to see Mr. Tannatorn.

He's over there.

You have destroyed the honor and dignity of the profession of teacher.

Are you embarrassed to be seen with me?

I'm just a gas deliveryman.

Do you want to see the lights? I'll take you.

That sounds fun.
