All language subtitles for Stepmother (11)

- Dao!
- I'd like to stay like this for a while.

I'd even be happy
if you loved Miss Dao back

and it makes her…

Ma'am!

Ma'am.

Parit, I've found important evidence.

Put that cake down
and come home with me right now!

You brat!

You already know I despise Ploysaeng.

But it seems like you two are
really in love now. I won't allow it.

If I'm doing this for the land
to extend our market,

will it be worth allowing?

Please register at the lobby,

and then you can relax at your leisure.

The seminar will start around 3 p.m.

- Thank you very much.
- Right.

- Let's take a picture for Aunt Ploy.
- Yeah, let's do it.

One. Two.

- Okay. Is it good?
- Yeah.

- Okay.
- Is it alright?

- It is.
- Okay.

I'll go ahead and register,
so we can check in to the rooms.

- Please do it for me too.
- Of course. Be right back.

Are you going public
with your new boyfriend?

You can also hit on Aunt Ploy, can't you?

Are you jealous?

We both are doing what we need to do.

For me, yes.
I’m sticking to the plan we made.

What about you and that Parit?

I'm doing it to convince everyone,

so Aunt Ploy will really believe
that I've turned over a new leaf.

And she would open up to you more easily.

I'll try to believe this nonsense.

Suit yourself. Don't let your pettiness
ruin our grand plan.

We've never loved each other anyway.

Let's go inside, Mom.

I'll go now, Mom.

What? Aren't you going to
sit down for a bit?

I have urgent work to do.

Don't forget
to take your medicine, alright?

I'll come and take you there again
around the appointment date.

Got it. Drive safely then.

Right.

See you.

- Good luck.
- Don't forget to take the medicine.

I know.

Oh. That's Mr. Patchek.

He's a rising businessman

who prospers at everything he does.
That's why Aunt Ploy wants his investment.

Ah.

He's alone now. Should we go talk to him?

Let's go.

Good morning, Mr. Patchek.

My name is Puwin, CEO of Tharnthong Group.

Nice to meet you.

How is Ms. Panalee doing?

She's doing well.
She still acts as my consultant.

Do you play golf?

I'm not very good at it.

Are you looking for someone
to play a round of golf with, sir?

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

We're from Camellia.

Parit here is the general manager,
and I'm Ms. Ploysaeng's daughter.

Ah.

- Nice to meet you.
- Likewise.

Do you usually play golf?

Ah.

When I was working in the USA,
I played with the management all the time.

We still have a lot of time.
Do you have anything else to do?

Uh, Parit is free.

Yes.

So, how about we go
stretch our muscles a bit?

Of course.

See you in the lobby in 15 minutes then.

Right.

Please go get changed in your room.
I'll prepare the equipment for you.

Okay.

Wasn't it too shameless?

I've just started working at Camellia,

so I'll need to achieve something
and impress Aunt Ploy.

Talk to you later.

Who is that?

Coming.

Oh, dear.

- Hello.
- Hello.

It's me, Mon's neighbor.

Right. I told you
my house was easy to find.

Next time you come,
no need to bring any gifts.

Too bad Mon has just left for Bangkok.

I missed her by just a moment.

Yes. Come on inside.

Come.

Come on in.

- Take a seat. I'll bring you some water.
- Thank you.

That's it.

What are you looking at?

Then why didn't you go practice?!

It's a sport for executives. You should
have been able to play to socialize.

Why couldn't you think of
something this easy, Pu?!

I'm being humiliated as well.

You are the CEO, Pu.

How could you let
an assistant manager under probation

take your golden opportunity to
get close to a revered businessman away?!

And about English too.
You're not good at it, are you?

And what would you do
if there were foreign investors?!

That Parit has studied abroad too.

They've got us. This is a disaster!

Pu. Listen to me. From now on,

don't you do anything
that makes me lose to Ploysaeng!

Do you understand?!

This is the same photo.

Yes, I've seen it on your phone.

That's why it felt familiar.

But I just realized that Mon is married.

She's been married for a few years.

Really?

And her husband looks really good.
Is he from Bangkok?

But he's working abroad right now.

He comes home only a few times a year.

Really?

Hmm. And did they register
a marriage certificate together?

They didn't.
We had a small wedding with our family.

Anyway, do you want to see
the photos of their wedding day?

I do.

Wait a moment.

On the wedding day,

Mon was really beautiful.
Everyone said that about her.

You won't be able to trick Ms. Ploy.

- Enjoy.
- Yeah. Thank you very much.

Thank you.

- Okay. Take your time.
- Please excuse me.

Why did you have to drag
Mr. Phiphop into that circle?

I have to achieve something too.

And who prevented you from being there?

You already know my English isn't good.

I haven't been studying abroad like him.

You're scared to talk to him
because he has blond hair?

He can speak fluent Thai
because he's been here for over ten years.

Why aren’t you as confident as usual?

Or are you losing self-esteem
because of someone more talented?

Don't worry. If he asks you in English,

Parit would help you answer,

just like how he played golf
for you in the afternoon.

Are you planning to ditch me?

That won't be easy.

MIRIN

Ms. Ploy, are you asleep?

I was already asleep. What's the matter?

Then, I won't keep you up.

You've woken me up. Tell me what you want.

I'd like to meet with you.

I don't want to say it over the phone.

Do you have any free time tomorrow?

I can do it in the afternoon.

That works.

And where do you prefer to meet?

Yes, I remember. The coffee shop.

What time
should I be there to wait for you?

Right. Please get plenty of rest.
See you tomorrow.

You can't continue
to trick Ms. Ploy anymore.

I've only just started
and have many things to learn.

Mr. Patchek is actually my idol.

You honor me too much.

- I need to get this.
- Please feel free.

Please excuse me.

- Alright. Take your time.
- Please feel free.

You're welcome.

- Miss Namwan.
- Yes?

Have you seen Miss Dao?

I haven't seen her. I was just here.

It's okay. Wait. What about Mr. Parit,
a manager from Camellia?

I haven't seen him either.

Alright.

Pathetic.

- Careful. Okay, one more step.
- Ooh.

One more. Careful. Okay.

Oh, easy.

I told you not to drink that much.

Don't scold me, Parit.

I still want to be there.

Okay, okay.

Be careful right here. The steps are high.

Can I have your key card?

Yeah.

Be careful right here.
There's a step. Okay.

- I want you to stay with me.
- Okay, Hang on. Dao.

Can you?

Hmm?

Wait here. Careful.

Take a seat.

Okay. Hold your balance, okay?
Don't fall asleep yet.

Okay.

Come. Easy there.

Stand up slowly. Easy.

Sit down. Slowly. Oh, Dao.

There's the pillow. Careful. Slowly.

Get some sleep now.
I'll wake you up tomorrow, okay?

Dao!

I won't let you go anywhere.

Dao. Let go of me.

Mr. Puwin. Mr. Puwin.

I've been looking for you everywhere.

I saw you talking to your friends,

so I didn't want to interrupt.

Mr. Pu. I want some more details about
the new mall project of Tharnthong Group.

But if you're tired, you can rest
and talk about it with me tomorrow.

I'm not tired at all.
We can talk right now.

Then, let's get back to the ballroom.

Right.

Dao, let go.

I'm a man.

I can't be alone with you in the room.
It's inappropriate.

I don't care what anyone thinks.

Dao. Dao.

You're so drunk and not making any sense.
Let go of me.

Dao.

What a nuisance.

MIANG

POWER OFF

POWER OFF

I want my phone back, Dao.

If you want it, come get it.

Dao. Don't do this.

Dao. Give it to me!

Dao.

Did you just turn off your phone on me?

If I were someone else, you’d be getting
hundreds of texts and missed calls.

But I won't do it.
I'll just switch off the light and chill.

You turn off your phone? Alright.

Hey! Why are you attacking me?

Ungrateful bastard. I'll tell Ms. Ploy
that you've harassed Ms. Dao.

Are you worried on behalf of Aunt Ploy?

Or are you jealous?

Do you want both
the daughter and the mother for yourself?

Watch your damn mouth.

Stop!

What are you two doing?!

It's nothing. They're drunk.

Do you want to ruin
both companies' reputations?

Why don't you ask Mr. Puwin?
He started it.

Talk it out yourselves.

Seems like he knew about us.

No way.

You and I need to talk.

You didn't ask me to join you.

You were so drunk last night.
I didn't think you'd be up early.

I talked to Mr. Pu.

What happened last night,
we won’t talk about it.

And we'll act like nothing happened.

Are you sure it's true?

Yes. The maid wouldn't lie to us.

It escalated into a fistfight?

They were fighting
right in front of Miss Dao's room.

But I don't know what they fought about.

Miss Dao stopped them
at the end and they all dispersed.

I don't know if it was about Miss Dao.

How is that possible?
Pu isn't interested in her.

And were you able to get a hold of Puwin?
His phone is off and I couldn't reach him.

I asked the staff to call his room.

Oh, the staff is here.

Namwan, Mr. Puwin already checked out
earlier this morning.

Mr. Puwin checked out
earlier this morning.

What?

He just left
when the seminar is not even finished?

Thank you.

You're getting out of hand, Pu.

You're about to be exposed, playboy.

Please take a seat, Ms. Ploy.

I've been home for hours.
I forgot to tell you. Sorry.

That's a relief. So I don't have to worry.

Oh, tell your neighbor for me.

If she comes to Phetchaburi again,
she can stop by my house anytime.

Neighbor? Who?

She lied to my mom,
saying that she was my neighbor.

Not only did she sneak into my house
but she also went to my mom's house.

What did she do that for?

She told her she was visiting her,

but she actually went
to search for info about us.

And now she knows that we're married.

She took photos of our wedding day too.

She must be planning to expose us.

I'll be in trouble
if these two people know about this.

One is Ms. Lee, and another is Ms. Ploy.

What should we do, Mr. Pu?

Say something.

Let me think it through.

I'll call you back.

This is Nichamon, the one who was fired.

- For arranging…
- I remember her.

Nichamon…

is my wife.

"Was" his wife.

Say it properly. It affects things.

Yes. We've separated.

It happened after what I did
that cost me my job.

We'd actually been fighting for a while,

so I decided to pull some stunts

to get him fired.

And what exactly did you want me
to come all the way here to talk about?

I don't understand.

If you see this set of photos from
someone with ill intentions anywhere,

please know that they're from our past.

Currently, we don't have
any ties to each other.

I'm afraid that it might be Ms. Lee's plan
to cause a misunderstanding between us,

so I brought Mon here
to confirm that we're divorced.

We're just friends.

We didn't part on good terms,

but I still don't want anyone to try to
bring him down with such a dirty tactic.

I didn't forget. I'm on my way.

I really want to know

who did this.

It must have been one of Ms. Lee's people.

Let's do it this way,
so I don't have to worry too much.

Quit your job and move back
with your mother for now.

That's good.

Hello.

How are you doing?

I'm adjusting.

I asked Parit to give you the check.

I received it.

You already want to go home, don't you?

Yes.

But not right now.

I've got some evidence with me
and really want you to see for yourself.

Where did you get this photo?

It doesn't matter.

If you are going to accuse someone,
you should have more solid evidence.

They

separated after Nichamon hired someone
to disrupt the festival at Camellia.

They don't know it's you yet.

Don't worry. I won't say anything.

To catch someone in the act,
the evidence must be strong enough

to leave no openings
for them to take advantage of.

And if you want to expose someone again,

make sure the evidence you have is legit.

I can't keep protecting you every time.

Is that all you want with me?

How long have you known about this?

Let's just say I knew it before you did.

Anything else?

What a waste of time.

Thank you for taking good care of me.

Hmm.

I really want to go to seminars
with you again. I had such a good time.

But Aunt Ploy might be happier than we are

to know that Mr. Patchek wants to
discuss more with us at the office.

- Right.
- Uh.

I'll go home now.

Bye.

A reward for my lovely brother.

Uh…

Thank you.

We're going to need it for our long talk.

Do you like to plant hydrangeas?

Uh-huh.

I knew it. Your mother's house
in Phetchaburi also has them.

So it was you.

What do you want?

I'll be honest.

I happened to be interested in Mr. Puwin,

so I decided to do some background checks.

- You did it out of curiosity?
- Yes.

Are you afraid that I might expose you?

Or is your marriage to Mr. Pu

still a secret?

It's none of your business.

Now that you know he has a wife,

what are you going to do?

I don’t want anything to do
with a womanizer like him,

since you’re not the only one he has.

What did you find out?

Mr. Pu's been courting Ms. Ploy, my boss.

He's hitting on the mother
while currently dating her daughter.

I just can't with a man like this.

Wait.

By the daughter, did you mean Miss Dao?

Who else could it be?

I planned to stay quiet about it
because it’s none of my business,

but I can’t help feeling bad for you.

Let's say that I won't tell anyone
that you two are married.

But you have to keep
our talk a secret as well.

That's all I have to say to you.

Good luck trying to
stick a perfect landing.

Wait.

I want to know more
about Mr. Pu and Miss Dao.

Why? Are you trying to catch
your cheating husband?

Will you help me?

Only a glass of water
might not be enough now.

Where have you been?
Why did you just come back?

I had to take care of some business.

What could be more important than
representing the company at the seminar?

It was for the company.

What was it?

Well, I had the chance to
speak with Mr. Phiphop personally

and found out that he's superstitious.

And?

Before investing with anyone, he likes
to bring the fortune of an executive

to Master Suea, the fortune teller
who he's close with, to check first.

So, I rushed back to Bangkok
to meet with Master Suea

and check my fortune, just to be safe.

And what did he say?

Our fortune and his are
a perfect match for a business venture.

And whose fortune did you check?
Mine or yours?

I've checked both of our fortunes.
But mine and Mr. Phiphop's

complement each other better than yours.

Fortune tellers just guess.

Right. But if he likes these things,
we'll have to play along.

It's better than
losing him to Camellia too.

That's true.

So, I'm asking for your permission

to let the secretary send the appointment
letter to him using my name.

Get on with it.

Don't lose him to Camellia too.

Yes, Ms. Lee.

You're off the hook this time.

Next time you do anything,
report to me and don’t just disappear

Do you think you're the company owner?

I wouldn't dare to.

Good.

Keep in mind

that you are

merely my figurehead.

I'm always aware of

who has given me

everything I have today.

It's good that you are aware of it,

so I can be merciful to you
for a long time.

Yes, Ms. Lee.

Go do whatever you want.
I'll go to the party with my friends.

I'm in a good mood now.

Let me clear things up just a bit longer

and you'll have your long rest.

If they can anticipate my moves,
I'll have to change my game plan

by resorting to something basic

like a wife's wrath.

But I hope Nichamon
doesn't tell Mr. Pu right away.

I don't think she will.

Parit.

I think their marriage

must be top secret.

Because if Ms. Lee knew about it,
she'd speak of it in front of Ms. Ploy.

Hmm. That's true.

Mr. Pu must want to keep it from her and
Aunt Ploy, so he had to tell Aunt Ploy.

And what they said about being divorced

is likely an excuse.

And Ms. Ploy believed them?

It's hard to judge.

We don't know how deep
his relationship with Aunt Ploy is.

I hope we can expose
this womanizer in time.

Although you were forced to separate
from Waythus because he passed away,

I'll honor my promise to you.

This is the bankbook

for the fixed deposit account
that Aran opened in your name.

I'll return it to you today.

Thank you.

I haven’t made any investments in it
due to my fear of uncertainty.

So, it remained a fixed deposit account

and earned interest every year.

It's only 20 million?

But there’s interest
that has accumulated every year.

Just a blink of an eye,
and it’ll all be gone.

You can use it all up
in the blink of an eye

but Aran, your father,
had to work so hard for it.

He poured his heart and soul

into building the company until
it made a profit. It wasn't easy, Dao.

Then I'll invest to make it grow.

That's the right idea.

Think of it as having
a free 20-million investment fund.

Right.

So, I did what I promised.

What about Dad's company?
Aren't you giving it to me?

I don't think it's the right time.

You haven't profited
from it enough, have you?

How cunning of you
to give me just small change.

Here. Miang bought you
some Khanom mo kaeng.

Wow. Thank you.

Miang must know I like it.
Did she go to Phetchaburi?

- Yes.
- Ah.

But she wants you to eat it bit by bit,
so your blood sugar won’t skyrocket.

Don't worry about it.

It's good that you're here.
I have something to tell you.

Ms. Ploy has given Miss Dao
her inheritance.

Is that true?

Only the cash in the account.
She hasn't handed over the company to her.

And what did Dao say?

She wasn't really happy about it,
but she kept it to herself.

She actually wanted the company
because it makes a lot of profit.

The money that she's spending
extravagantly these days

is partly from the dividend
of her father's company.

Do you know what this company does?

It's a construction contracting company.

Do you remember the company name?

It's in English.
There are A and R in the name.

AR?

Does it stand for Aran?

That might be possible.

And from what they do,

does the name include "construction"?

Yes, yes. It's cons… tion.
Something like that. I can't pronounce it.

Right.

AR Construction?

And how can I find
anyone I can trust like you?

I'm worried about my mom.

I understand that you love your mom.

Let's do it this way.

When your mom gets better,
come back to work with me.

Of course, Ms. Lee.

Use it to take care of your mom.

Thank you, Ms. Lee.

Ms. Lee didn't question anything about us.

Then you don't have to hide
at your mother's house anymore.

Give it some time,
and then come back to work.

Got it.

Is Miss Dao ditching us?

She just got her inheritance anyway.
Why does she have to risk working with us?

She'd be better off
finding a new man to marry.

- Excuse me.
- Hello.

- How can I help you?
- Is this place AR Construction?

Yes. Are you here
to discuss a construction project?

Yes.

I'm so sorry.

Our schedule is really packed right now.

We can take on new clients again
next year, will you be able to wait?

Next year? That's a long time to wait.

Yes.

Then, can I have your contact details

in case there's an opening
I can fit your project in?

- But I think it's not likely to happen.
- Right.

Then it's okay. I'm in quite a hurry.
Maybe next time

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Who are you?!
What have you done to my mom?

I haven't done anything to her.
Your mom is upstairs.

- Why are you in here? I'll call the cops.
- Please wait.

What's the matter, Dao?

He's my friend.

Friend?

Well, my younger friend.

Go ahead if you have some place to be.
Come back later.

Yes.

Mom. Who is he?

I told you he's my friend!

More like your sleeping partner.

Hey. He can be my friend,
my partner, or my roommate.

It doesn't matter! Just let me be happy
in the remaining years of my life!

How annoying.
There are cougars everywhere I go.

So how many men do you have?

And did I poke my nose into your business?

Go ahead and tell me what you want.

Aunt Ploy returned the inheritance to me.

Really?

But not all of it.

What did she give back to you?

Just a savings account,
but not Dad's company.

How sly she is.

She knew that Aran's company
makes tons of profit.

I heard people say

that they make hundreds of millions.

Right.
That's why she hasn't given it to me.

This bitch.

And how much is
in the account she gave you?

Twenty million.

Twenty million?! Are you crazy?!

Huh?! Ploysaeng has
thousands of millions in her account!

She acted down to earth
and led you to believe

that she never expected
anything from you. But in reality,

she extorts money from your dad's
company every day. Don't you know?

This bitch is devious. That fortune

is your father's blood, sweat, and tears.

That's why
you need to take back all of it!

Mr. Pu and I have a plan.

I didn't actually want to go that far,

but she decided not to give it to me.
It can't be helped.

Come on. Are you sneaking in on me?

Face me. Take that.

- Come on in.
- Wow.

Ow. Whoa.

- Am I interrupting? You look busy.
- Ugh.

I'm dead. I have some time to talk.
Take a seat.

Let me play this game
to boost my energy for a bit.

I bet deadlines can do that too.

That hurts.

How can I help you, hotshot?

I have something to ask you about.

Go ahead and ask.

Is AR Construction our affiliate company?

AR Construction?

Not really. It's the company that
was passed on to Ms. Ploy by Mr. Aran.

How are their profits?

As far as I know,
they make a profit every year

but…

it’s rumored that they’re
using construction work as a front

and actually doing shady business.

What do you mean by shady?

Shady? It's not clearly legal
or illegal, but falls in the gray area.

Could you be more cryptic?

I still want to work here, man.

Meet me at my room, 7 p.m.

Dress beautifully.
I like well-dressed girls.

Thank you for looking out for me,

but I can take care of myself.

Tell me right now who the father is!

Mr. Pu already has a wife.

What? You didn't know?

Ms. Ploy knew about this.

How did you do this to me?

Change of plan.

For Ms. Lee, you can do
whatever you want. Bye.

It won't be that easy.
