All language subtitles for Stepmother (1)

- Please, calm down, ma'am.
- Move. Move.

- Please calm down. You can't do it here.
- Let go.

- Please settle it outside.
- Why can't I be at my fiancé's wedding?!

Aran! Don't you see
that she's tricking you?!

Lee, please leave. I beg you.
This is my auspicious day.

How is it auspicious?!

More like an inauspicious day.

Didn't you know?

Her family went bankrupt
and she has nothing.

Her mother left her.
Her family abandoned her!

She's with you for money!
She doesn't even actually love you!

She tricked you!
Don't you see?! She tricked you!

Lee. I'm okay with being lied to.

It's better than lying to myself
that I love you and having to marry you.

- Hey. Lee!
- Stop it!

I said stop!

Let go of me, Mom!

No. Come home with me!

You'll see, Aran.

You'll lose everything because of her.

- You'll be doomed because of her!
- That's enough!

Come home!

Get off of me!

- Come! Let's go back.
- No! Let go!

Have you been awake for long?

Just a while.

And where did you go this morning?

There's someone
I'd like you to meet, Ploy.

Dao.

Could you come here?

Introduce yourself, dear.

- Hello.
- Hello.

My name is Darinkarn.

So, from today, I'd like Dao

to live here with us.

Wait a minute. Who is this girl?

She's my daughter.

Do you want coconut cake?

Buffet? Let's go. Let's go.

Look at this.

This is a limited edition.

I need to have that.

Hey, your best friend is here.

Serves you right.

You must have thought you took
a perfect, flawless man from me.

It turns out
he had a wife and a child before.

That's karma for you.

Which one would you pick?

Your husband
hasn’t even gotten you pregnant yet

but you're a mother now, a stepmother.

It's like she doesn't have
any meat or skin,

just some bones.

Isn't raising someone else's child like
putting out a fire you didn't cause, Lee?

Both are unfortunate.

If it takes this long,
then no sweets for you. Come.

Let's see.

Does it fit?

It fits perfectly. Do you like it?

I like it, Ms. Ploy.

I have another one too.

This one is red.

Are you two back already?

Aran.

I'd like you to meet someone.

This is Miang.

The daughter of Winai,
the driver at the company.

In the case
where Winai caused a fatal car accident

the court sentenced him to prison.

I saw that she had no one else.

So, I've agreed to take care of her.

But you aren't adopting her, are you?

I just wanted to support her education.

I think she's around the same age as Dao.

They could be friends.

I'd like to add another student
to the class, Ms. Maratee.

Sure, Ms. Ploy.

She's so adorable. What's your name, dear?

It's Miang, ma'am.

- Parit.
- Yes, Mom.

- Could you come out here?
- Yes, Mom.

- Hello, Aunt Ploy.
- Hello.

Help her with the homework too.

Yes, Mom.

I'll leave her to you, Parit.

Right, Aunt Ploy.

What is her name?

It's Miang.

I'm Parit.

We'll start the tutoring session
once you're done with homework.

Yes.

Let's go.

This way, Miang.

Pay attention.

Sit here, Miang.

He's a young man now.
Quite good-looking also.

I'll help with your brother's education.

Thank you, Lee. That's fortunate for Pu.

Our family can't afford
his education anymore.

But he'll have to do everything I ask.

Despite being distant relatives,
we're not equal.

I understand, Lee.

Pu, say thank you to Ms. Lee.

Pu. Bow at her feet
to show your gratitude.

I need to tell you everything, don't I?

You'll see.

I'll raise your brother…

better than the child Ploysaeng adopted.

BANGKOK… CITY OF LIFE

Miang, are you done?

Miang. Miang, are you ready?

I'm here.

What took you so long? Hurry up.

So hasty, aren't you?

I'm not. Ms. Ploy is waiting
for you in the car. Go.

Yeah, I was preparing snacks for her.

Good. Now go.

- I'll see you later.
- Yeah.

What now?

I forgot.

What?

What a cutie. Time to go.

- I'll go now.
- Go.

Let's go, Phong.

Isn't that Ms. Panalee's van?

That's Ms. Ploysaeng's car, right?

- Phong, let's go.
- Yes.

Cut her off. Don't let her go.

How rude.

Let's park at the side gate.

But the side gate is too far
to the meeting room.

It's okay.

It's better than confronting her.

Find me a private seat.

Don't let me wait
in the same area as them.

Yes, Ms. Lee.

We can still leave.

Did you know that Ms. Panalee
is also receiving this award?

Do you want me to forfeit
just because of Panalee?

I just fear
she'll do something to embarrass you.

I was also selected for this award.

Why would I step aside for her?

It's good for her
that they have three awards.

If there was only one, she would have had

just an invitation at best

and clapped at the front row.

You dare to face me now?

Why wouldn't I?

Shameless.

Still better than a whining loser.

You must want this award so badly.

Certainly.

The Outstanding Female Entrepreneur Award

is an achievement
for someone who has failed

and stood back up by herself.

How is standing back up
by marrying a rich man

an achievement?

It's better than just sitting and waiting

for the family fortune like a beggar.

You…

Ms. Ploy.

The staff told us
to be in the waiting room.

Why did you do that?
They're not your family!

Where have you been all this time?

I'm sorry, Ms. Lee.

Could we have a photo of you?

Photo please.

- I'd like a photo, please.
- This camera, please.

- Could you smile a little? Perfect.
- This one too.

- This camera, please.
- Thank you.

- Please smile.
- This camera, please.

Beautiful.

Ms. Ploy.

Ms. Dao just called
and said she couldn't make it.

I didn't expect her to be here

because she's never proud of me anyway.

Again, please.

- This camera too.
- Please smile a little.

- This camera, please.
- This one too.

Ms. Ploysaeng, Ms. Panalee,
please take photos together inside.

- Please.
- Please follow me.

This way, please.

This way.

Hi, guys. Today,

I'll go through
the men's clothing section of the mall

and pick some outfits

for my date tonight.
Come pick them with me.

Sorry. Excuse me.

Are you with a modeling agency?

No.

Wait.

Are you interested in being
a YouTube channel host with me?

I'd rather not. I'm not good at that.
If you'll excuse me.

Wait.

It's just one clip. You'll get paid.

I'm not that desperate for money.

If you don't want that,
how about a dinner?

Ms. Ploy.

Will the organizers be okay

that you received a reward and rushed out

without taking any group photos.

Who would want a public photo with her?

And will you go to Camellia today?

I'd rather not.

I'll go follow up with the tasks then.

Right.

Miang. Thanks for accompanying me.

Yes.

I'll take my leave.

I always stop by
and look at your house, Parit.

I secretly wish you would already be home.

This kind of empty hope

is what keeps me going, Parit.

Is everything there, Mom?

There's one thing left.

I was just going to transfer it to you.

It won't be much this month.
Accounting is too damn shrewd.

It's better than nothing.

Thank you, dear.

Dao. Whatever we can take,

you need to take it and keep it with me.

It was all Aran's fortune

which was going to be yours anyway.

Right.

I'm still mad, now that I think about it.

Who would write the will

to give all the inheritance to your
own child only if the stepmother sees fit?

Who would do something like that?

This is the most outrageous thing
I've ever seen.

Have you seen the will?

No one has seen it,
other than her and the lawyer.

She intends to get all your inheritance.
Does she think I'm stupid?

Otherwise, she wouldn't
also raise that Miang girl.

She might have legally adopted her
as a daughter by now

so that girl can have
all your inheritance.

Dao. Remember what I say.

Ploysaeng hates you.

She's trying to take everything from you.

Don't ever trust what she says.

She never has
goodwill towards my daughter.

Don't worry, Mom.

I wouldn't let her
have all of Dad's fortune alone.

Good.

We can't let Ploysaeng

continue to take advantage of us anymore.

If there are any other
organizations handing out rewards,

let me know immediately.

I don't care how much I have to pay.

I must win more awards than Ploy.

Yes, Ms. Lee. I'll head to the office now.

Wait.

Next time,

don't pay respect to any of them.

I made you
the manager of Tharnthong Group.

You're not just a measly boy.
Don't ever bow to anyone.

Do you want people
to know about your roots that much?

She's a friend of Fon.

I was just showing good manners.

No need to have manners towards Ploy.

You just have to listen to
and do what I say. Don't talk back to me.

Yes, Ms. Lee.

If I can groom a poor boy like you,

that means I can also
destroy you with my own hands.

Remember that.

Ms. Lee.

Go away.

Didn't you hear that
Ms. Lee wants you to go away?

Right.

What did you get?

The fish have taken the bait.

Look at this.

They went for dinner
and exchanged numbers.

Are you sure this doesn't look staged?

Waythus is a professional actor.

He might not be a household name yet,
but he did well.

More importantly, he's so handsome.

Then it's worth my money.

Tell Waythus…

to use his charm to attract Dao

until she's crazy about him,

so we can do whatever we want with her.

Got it, Ms. Lee.

I've been letting you off the hook
for far too long,

Ploysaeng.

I'll take my leave from here, Dao.

Why don't you go inside?

To meet your mother?

Stepmother.

Real mother or stepmother,
I'm ready for this now.

You'll have to meet her anyway.
Just follow me.

Wow. I just came home late

and it's the end of the world to you.

- Ms. Ploy is worried about you.
- You're her mouth?

It's fine now that you're home.
Go to your room and take a shower.

That's funny. There's still
a curfew when I'm this old.

No freedom whatsoever.

Well, if you want freedom,
go live in your condo

that you've stolen tens of million
of company money to buy.

I'd be stupid if I went and let someone
take my house so easily.

Don't you think I'm naive.
No matter how you force me out,

I'll never leave this place
so easily, just as you planned.

I've never thought about
taking what's yours.

You're all talk.

Then return my inheritance to me.

The money in the savings account
and Dad's company.

I'm doing it according to Aran's will.

I'll return all of it to you
when I see fit.

And where's the damn will?
No one has ever seen that.

I don't believe Dad would write
such a strange will like you said.

If it's true, show it to everyone.
Don't just talk about it.

I don't need to show it to you.

Then when will you see it fit
to return my inheritance?

Ten years, twenty years,

or after your death?

- You're out of line, Miss Dao.
- Just shut up.

Don't think I can't see through your game.

You always back her up.

Is that because
she'll give all my inheritance to you?

Stop dividing us.

Whenever you're willing to work

and able to take responsibilities

to make me trust that

you won't squander
all of your father's money,

that's when I'll return your inheritance.

And why do I have to listen
to everything you say?

Just because you're older,

doesn't mean that you have
the most power in this house.

This is my house as well.

Stop thinking
you're the sole owner of everything.

Shameless.
You're keeping someone else's fortune.

Just return it.

Hey. I've listened enough.

How can you be so rude
to the one who raised you?

How ungrateful can you be?

Who's that?

Call security. Who's that?!

There's no need.

Hello.

This is Waythus, my boyfriend.

Do you see what she's capable of now?

I warned you every day,
and you wouldn't listen.

She's something else.

So ungrateful and hard to tame.

How long will you tolerate this?

In my life,
there are only two women that I love

which are you and Dao.

And if something happens to me,

take good care of yourself

and please take care of Dao for me.

That is until I'm sure that

she'll be able to stand
on her own two feet.

She’s getting worse as time passes.

To be honest, I don't trust her.

She might be
looking for a chance to hurt you.

Whatever. Just know that I'm doing
what Aran asked of me

to return his kindness.

Yes.

Your favorite little sister
has a boyfriend now, Parit.

It's been six years.

Don't you miss us at all?

You don't even write us.

You're so cruel. How could you leave me?

Don't ever come back.

Aw. Come here.

You're both crying now, my girls.

Wipe your tears and go take a photo
with Parit as a memory.

- Let's go.
- Here.

Go.

Aw. Stop crying.
Your eyes are swollen now.

There.

You too, alright? Stop crying. Okay?

Here we go. Smile.

Let's do it.

Come on. Smile for the camera.
One, two, three.

Is this the right house?

Yes.

If she hadn't fallen
head over heels for Waythus,

she wouldn't let him use her personal car.

They've only known each other
for a short while

and she moves so fast,
just like her mother.

Hello.

Does he look worth your money?

We'll have to wait and see

how long he can keep her crazy in love.

I'm not sure about that,

but Dao invited me into her house
to meet her stepmother yesterday.

Look at that…

- What are you doing?
- Mr. Pu!

You scared me.

Who were you taking photos of?

There's a celebrity here.

- A celebrity?
- Yeah.

I don't know him.

It's Mr. Waythus from the drama…

You wouldn't know it anyway.

And why is he here?

I have no idea.

I'll take them glasses of water then.

Please excuse me.

When you're available,
come shoot a review video at my market,

so you can bring Dao to me too.

Consider it done.

Mr. Pu is here.

This is Puwin, our general manager.

Nice to meet you.

Waythus will be shooting a review
of our market for his page

and do a promotion with pictures on

our Tharnthong market
being upgraded with air conditioning.

We installed
air conditioners a while ago now

but people still don't know about it.

I really don't know
what the manager is doing.

I'll head to the office now.

In this day and age,

you can't only be effective,

you have to also be cunning
with the tricks up your sleeves

and your death blows.

Being naive and slow-witted

won't make you outshine anyone.
You'll always lose.

You must be someone like Waythus.

You're well-rounded. I like it.

That's true, Ms. Lee.

Thank you.

If I decided not to give him work

or any cars for him to drive,

would he be where he is today?

The thing is,

I fear that he won't be as good
as the girl Ploysaeng took in.

I don't want to let her win,

no matter what it is about.

Is our Sweet Festival good to go?

Everything is sorted.

Did you forget that

the manager's resignation will be
effective at the end of this month.

But you haven't
called anyone for interviews.

Do you know why Niwat decided to leave?

When Ploy finds out that her manager

left her to work for us,

she'll definitely be shocked.

Yes, Ms. Lee.

This manager is so good.

But we already have Mr. Pu as the manager.

What position did you want him for?

- Pu's assistant.
- Oh?

Will he be okay with
having a younger supervisor?

The work isn't as hard
but he'll be paid almost two times more.

He'd be stupid if he rejected it.

I want Pu to learn a bit more
from someone good

so I can retire happily.

Oh my god!

Ms. Ploy! The car is gone!

Whose car, Chawee?

Miss Dao's car. She's still asleep.

Huh?

I lent the car to Waythus
for him to drive home.

How could you lend him
a car worth millions?

He's my boyfriend. Why can't I?

How long have you known him?

So far… It's been around 20 hours.

What? It's not even been a day
and you call him boyfriend?

If he's the right person,
everything will be right.

Why should I wait?

Someone was engaged for years
and yet decided to marry another woman.

Some even had a child together,

they could still be snatched away.

Time doesn't guarantee
if the relationships work or not.

Hey. Apologize to Ms. Ploy right now.

Don't talk about things
you don't know about.

Forget it. She won't listen.

And what if the car is stolen?

Then she wouldn't have a car to drive
because I won't buy her a new one.

Serves her right.

We can't be nice to her.

Let her face harsh reality so she learns.

Miss Dao has been fed with these ideas
by her real mother for a long time.

It'll be hard to change her views.

She's not a blank canvas.

If we are grateful to the one
who raised us, we'd never be like her.

I'll get to work now.

See you.

Right.

- Be safe.
- Thank you.

Go.

If Ms. Ploy had Miang as her stepdaughter,

she wouldn't have to
go through this hard life.

Miang.

Could you do a detailed
background check on Waythus for me?

To be honest, I don't trust him.

Sure.

I found his Instagram account
and I'll be looking through it.

He's a celebrity, so it won't be
hard to find out who he is.

Even though he's not yet famous,
some pages should have articles about him.

Good. If you have all you can find,
loop me in immediately.

Yes, Ms. Ploy.

Hello, Ms. Ploy.

- Hello.
- Everything has been prepared.

- Here it is.
- Let me see.

Please follow us this way.

SPECIAL OFFER

Miss Dao. Are you interested
in any particular models?

We can prioritize your order.

- I'll let Waythus decide.
- Sure, ma'am.

You must take every little thing you can.

It is your birthright.

Don't let Ploysaeng
enjoy all the privilege alone.

Don't ever listen to what she says.

She's nice to you

because she's looking forward to
having all your inheritance.

She's not sincere with you.

She hates you!

Don't ever forget that she knew

Aran had me and you!

But she took him from me
without any shame.

Listen to me, Dao.

She ruined our family.

She made your father die with regrets.

You must take back
everything that's your father's.

I like this model, Miss Dao.

I'll have it.

Yes, ma'am.

When the car is ready, please contact
the accounting department of Camellia.

Understood, ma'am.

Thank you, Miss Dao.

Please sign your name here.

Your service is pretty quick.

Miss Dao wants things to be done fast.

Thank you, ma'am.

I'll leave now.
Take time to fill out those documents.

Right.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

This way, sir.

THAT'S COFFEE IN MY HAND,
IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING.

SOMEONE IS STEALING THE SHOW.

NOT THAT MUCH

Mona?

Who's that?

Why did they leave the heart emoji
in the comments of every picture?

Is she an event model?

MONA

Parit?

Dao.

Wow.

You really have blossomed into a lady.
I almost didn't recognize you.

Good, so we won't
have to see each other again.

Dao. Why would you say that?
He's here to visit us.

Who in particular?
Aunt Ploy or Miang? I bet it's not me.

It doesn't matter. We're the hosts
and we have to welcome him.

Miang isn't home yet. If you miss her
that much, just sit there and wait.

This young lady!
You're even more rude when you're older.

It's alright.

Dao must be upset with me.

She's upset that you had to
move with your mother? Nonsense.

Please don't mind her, Mr. Parit.

She's just a spoiled kid
who doesn't know when to grow up.

- Please have some snacks.
- Oh, I'll carry it for you.

- Thank you.
- Careful.

You were away for too long.
I didn't recognize you.

Why did you come back?
I don't want to see you.

Let's look at the next item.

For this one, I think…

This.

What about B.?

- That's not it.
- What about C., Intention?

No. It's A.

- You choose A.?
- Uh-huh.

And the right answer is…

- Duty! There you go.
- Yay!

Great job.

See? I'm good.

You're the best.

Duty.

Go on with the next item
and if you need help, just call me over.

- Okay?
- Got it.

- Do your best, Parit.
- You too.

Parit, I'm not sure about this…

You're here for a while
and you'll go back anyway.

Why do you have to
upset me again and again?

They fight as usual.

But it's getting worse every day.

As she grows, her words are more hurtful.

I feel bad for Ms. Ploy.

I don't know what she did to deserve this.

It's like raising the child of an enemy.

She'll behave better with time.

When will it happen?

She's in her twenties now.
Isn't she old enough?

She's not interested in doing any work.

She only cares about
having her inheritance.

Hey, if…

Aunt Ploy agrees to give her
an inheritance, will everything be better?

She'd spend it all in one day.

It's good that you're here.

Dao still listens to you and your mother.

Please help guide her.

Right.

Are you back here to stay, Mr. Parit?

I'm still not sure yet.
I'll have to decide later.

- Dao, stop!
- Don't you know he has a girlfriend?!

Then I'll take him from her!

What's hard about this?

Stop the ceremony!

Ms. Lee.

You have to serve me
until the day you die, not another woman.

What happened? Tell me!

I'll dump the body in the pond far away
so it won't be linked to us.

Aunt Ploy.

Look at this.

Ms. Ploy didn't trust Waythus and told me
to gather information about him

but now she asked
to talk to him in the office.

I think everyone
is being suspicious right now.
