MASTER OF THE HOUSE

[Yupin] The Thevasatitpaisarn family owns the company Theva Gems.

They must look their best at all times. Whatever they do.

That means that every person who works here as a servant

must look presentable and be clean, pure, and unsullied.

[somber music playing]

[Padcha] Take off your clothes, please.

Everything.

[somber music continues]

If you can't do it, you can leave now.

[music turns melancholic]

[Yupin] Go.

[Padcha] We're all family here.

We help each other out.

We'd like you to think of this house as your own.

How many hours a day do we work here?

It's in the contract that you must always be ready to work.

70,000 a month.

You're not gonna get that anywhere else.

[Yupin] You're new here.

So, your job will be

to clean and tidy up all the master's bedrooms in this house.

Do not make any mistakes, understood?

Yes.

And stay out of sight of the masters when they don't need you.

The masters give us orders through this device here.

You must wear it and be ready to receive orders at any time.

This is your room.

And here's your key.

Thank you so much.

[device beeping]

[breathes deeply]

[intriguing music playing]

[music fades]

It's 5:32 a.m.

You're two minutes late.

So, 2,000 will be deducted from your pay.

- [gasps] - [maid 1] Wow.

[maid 2, whispering] 2,000?

[Yupin] Punctuality is very important in this house. You must be on time.

[refined piano music playing]

[device beeping]

You're right on time.

Must we always be this precise?

Well, it's my duty to make sure you're doing your work

according to the master's orders.

[Kaimook breathes shakily]

[music fades]

Beautiful, isn't it?

[gentle music playing]

Yes, it is.

Keep it. It's yours.

What's your name?

Oh. It's Kaimook, sir.

Thank you very much for coming to clean my room.

[music continues]

[Fai] Hey, look. That's the new maid.

Let's go talk to her.

Hey. I'm Fai and this is Tan.

[Kaimook] Hmm.

I'm Kaimook.

So how do you like working here?

Well...

I find it kind of stressful.

We have to be so punctual.

- [Fai] Mm-hmm. - I'm really not used to that at all.

But the master is really nice, isn't he?

[tense music playing]

[Tan] Hmm?

Did you actually get to talk to him?

Did you?

[uneasy music playing]

[Kaimook] Yes. He thanked me for cleaning up his room.

- [Fai] Wow. - [Tan] That's amazing.

He doesn't usually talk to servants.

[Fai] Yeah, that's right.

Don't mind her. That's just the way she is.

- [Kaimook] Mm-hmm. - Don't worry.

- Enjoy your lunch. - [Fai] Dao's always like that.

Eat up.

[sobbing]

[Yupin] Kaimook!

[Kaimook] Yes?

Come and get the master's dessert in ten minutes, okay?

Yes, of course.

[soulful music playing]

- [Roongroj] It's beautiful, isn't it? - [gasps]

[chuckles]

Be my guest.

Have a good look around.

[mellow music playing]

[chuckles]

I'm really glad that you like this place.

You know, usually no one comes in here.

No one at all?

That's right.

I'm the only one who comes in here and takes care of them.

Why is that?

It really is such a shame.

You've built such an incredible greenhouse here...

yet no one sees the beauty in it.

[device beeping]

I have to get back to work now.

Excuse me, sir.

Would you like to see the moths?

Come back tonight.

I guarantee you

they're as beautiful as the ones you see now.

Consider that an order.

Yes, sir.

[music fades]

[device beeps]

[suspenseful music playing]

[sighs]

I came as you asked, sir.

How's life treating you here?

Well...

it's taken some adjusting, sir.

Well, you know,

I want everyone living in this house to be happy.

If you need anything, let me know.

I'll get it for you.

Thank you, sir.

Come over here.

Do you see them?

[gasps softly]

Did you know

that the number of moths

is a dozen times greater than the number of butterflies?

The reason is...

they prefer dark places

and hide from humans.

[music turns unsettling]

Do you know why it is

that I like butterflies?

[exhales shakily]

It's because...

butterflies...

[exhales shakily]

...are so very beautiful.

They're perfect creatures.

You know what?

The first time I laid eyes on you,

I knew right away

you were special.

[breathes shakily]

Different from anyone else.

The others are

just worms and insects.

But you...

[Kaimook breathes shakily]

...you are a butterfly

that can spread its wings and fly.

Close your eyes.

Close them.

Wait for me here.

[footsteps approaching]

[music fades]

[Kaimook] I wanna keep it.

It's so beautiful.

It would be a horrible waste to just let it die, wouldn't it?

Could you preserve it for me, please?

Come.

[tense music playing]

Take your time putting the pins in.

We're going to need to pin the antennae as well.

Most people have little interest in moths.

They usually prefer butterflies because, obviously,

they come in more beautiful colors.

Once butterflies are dead,

you can pin them in any position you want.

[slide changer clicks]

[Roongroj] Or you can even decorate their wings however you like.

You'll own your own perfect butterfly.

[music fades]

[somber music playing]

[Roongroj] You know, Kaimook,

growing up,

I always taught my sons to compete against each other

so that one day they could succeed me.

But now...

they can't wait for me to die.

So I'll be out of the way and they can have my fortune.

Don't give up hope just yet.

[sighs]

I can give you another son, sir.

[tense music playing]

And he will be a deserving heir.

One who obeys you

and does everything you tell him.

Just like I do.

He'll be a son you can be proud of.

[dramatic music playing]

[knocking]

[Yupin] Kaimook, from now on,

you will be the master's personal servant and you will only take orders from him.

Yes.

[tense music playing]

[music fades]

[suspenseful music playing]

[Mavin] I hope you die soon, so I can get my hands on your money.

[Roongroj] Well, you'll just have to wait.

I'd rather have a servant take care of the company.

[Phupat] I never said a word when you married a servant.

But why did you have to give her Mom's necklace?

[Roongroj] It's mine! I can do whatever I want with it!

[loud bang]

[Joke] Anyways, he actually believed me.

- [Tian] Joke! Someone fell! Let's go! - [Joke] What? Fuck!

[Mavin] Dad! Come out here and talk to me!

How could you fire me? Dad!

What the hell are you thinking, huh? Open the door!

[Roongroj] If I die,

you two will get nothing!

[Phupat] This was all part of your plan, wasn't it?

You killed my father!

[Kaimook] I didn't kill him.

You did.

Yeah.

That night,

you were so mad at your father for marrying me, a servant.

So you drugged his tea.

And your brother,

when he heard he was getting fired from the company,

he went crazy.

- Fuck! What did you say to my father? - [gasps]

- [grunts] - [Kaimook groans]

[gasping]

When your father started to get high from the drugs and hallucinate,

your brother killed him.

[intense music playing]

[Mavin] Dad! Come out here and talk to me! How could you fire me?

Open the door!

[banging]

[screams]

[thud]

[Mavin] Dad! Dad!

Your brother pushed your poor father off the balcony.

[screams]

[tense music playing]

Together, you both helped each other kill your father.

But your brother had the will changed because

he wanted your dad's fortune all to himself.

Boy, were you ever mad at him.

So you put the same drug

you used to kill your father into your brother's wine.

You set the whole thing up. How to kill him and get rid of the body.

You made it look like he died from an accident.

And then you took what you inherited and sold all of your family's properties.

Stop talking!

- [music stops] - [Phupat breathes shakily]

Or what?

You wanna kill me now?

You killed your father,

your only brother,

and now you want to kill your poor father's widow?

Did you do all of this so you could steal my family's property?

I'm just taking back

what all of us deserve to have!

You were all so fucking cruel to us!

And you're so pathetic.

You're the firstborn son,

but your father left you nothing.

You can say whatever you want,

but in the end, you'll always be just a lowly servant.

No one's gonna believe your lies!

[loud bang]

[gasps]

[unsettling music playing]

[Kaimook scoffs]

They won't?

[scoffs]

We were always keeping a close eye on you all.

What you did,

where you did it,

and when you did it.

I was told about everything.

[breathing shakily]

[moaning]

[music continues]

Get out of my way!

[Phupat grunts]

[chuckles]

This is my house!

You people can't do this to me!

[laughs]

Tell you what, I'll give you two choices, Phupat.

One, confess to everything and pay for it while you rot in jail.

You may even get a reduced sentence.

And the second choice...

try to deny it and take your chances.

No matter what choice you make,

the evidence will still prove your guilt.

[laughs]

[fateful music playing]

If that's the way it's gonna be,

then I might as well kill you!

Just die already!

- Die! - [Kaimook grunts]

Fucking die!

[grunting]

Die!

[grunting]

[Kaimook giggles]

[grunting]

[dark music playing]

What are you doing?

What're you doing?!

- Stop! I said stop! - [Joke] Shut up!

[music intensifies]

You're fucking pathetic.

[crying]

[screams]

[inaudible]

No! Tian! No!

- [Mavin] Get rid of that baby! - [Kaew cries]

[Phupat] Hey!

Hey! Stop it!

Stop it! I said stop!

[Phupat screams]

No! Stop it!

[Phupat screams]

I GIVE ALL OF MY ASSETS

TO MRS. KANYAVEE THEVASATITPAISARN, MY WIFE,

AND ANY HEIR BORN TO HER ONLY.

[haunting music playing]

[reporter 1] Mrs. Padcha, do you believe what the police say

that Mr. Phupat murdered his own father and brother

so he could have the fortune all to himself?

[Padcha] Well, I never thought he could be...

uh, this brutal.

- [reporter 2] Do you know where he is? - [reporter 1] Yes!

[reporter 2] How does your relationship stand now with Mr. Phupat?

- Do you live together? - [reporter 1] Where's all the money?

[reporters overlapping]

[robber] Oh, he's got the goods. Especially with that watch he's got on.

Mighty nice what you've got there.

Fuck off.

- Get the fuck outta my way. - [casting director] Next actress, please.

Okay. Whenever you're ready, Mrs. Araya.

[music fades]

[flatline]

[Araya] Shutter...

I've made you your favorite dish.

[evocative song in Thai playing]

[robber 1] What's up, bro? Hey.

Where are you going?

- I want that watch, man. - Take it and fuck off.
