DECEMBER 31, 2006

Free cake tonight for New Year's Eve!

Hello.

Say thank you, sweetie.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Thank you. Wait for me.

-Thank you. -Happy New Year.

See you later.

-That looks so good, Kamon. -I'll pour this.

Alright, pour it first.

-Me first? -Yes.

I'll give you lots of strawberries.

Mom?

Mom?

Mom!

Mom! Mom!

Help! Please help! Help my mom, please!

Help!

Help!

Please help my mom! Uncle, please help my mom!

-Help my mom, please. -Ugh.

-Uncle! -What the hell do you want?

Uncle!

It's all taken care of…

Mrs. Kulnaree.

Help! Help my mom!

Help!

Help!

Help! Please help my mom!

The cake must be so delicious.

You little glutton.

Drooling all over yourself.

It's almost New Year's.

I'll count down with you.

Ten, nine,

eight, seven,

six, five,

four, three, two, one.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year…

you little street dog.

MR. CHAI TIDRAKSA MRS. NAPA TIDRAKSA

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday.

I'm sorry.

Ms. Sara, you're here to make merit too?

It's my birthday today.

Happy birthday. I wish you all the happiness.

Thank you.

Didn't expect to see you here.

I came to visit my mom. Her ashes are kept here.

Oh, did you talk to Seoul already?

-I told him for you. -I did.

I gave him a counseling session.

I know you have to keep confidentiality,

but it's nothing too serious, right?

I can't really say

because "serious" means something different to everyone.

True.

But as long as you've talked to Seoul and he's okay,

that's enough for me.

I'll get going now.

MRS. SUKANDA CHAROENPAKDEECHAI

Sydney, eat your food.

I want to eat at Kram's restaurant.

If the food at home isn't good enough,

then maybe you should get food for yourself next time.

Mother, if we eat out,

who will you have left to yell at?

Come on, Patee.

What? I'm just saying the truth.

Every time we eat together,

no one else gets to speak but you, Mother.

You keep talking and talking.

If we didn't come sit here to let you scold us, you'd probably have

a stroke from bottled-up anger by now.

Patee, please.

You're doing plenty of shameful stuff already.

We're at the table.

At least show some respect and listen to Mom.

So what?

If everyone behaved well like Panter,

Mother wouldn't have anything to complain about.

But if she still does, maybe you should

reflect on yourself.

Wow.

No one's more perfect than your son.

If Buddha was born and took seven steps,

your son must've taken ten, right?

So great, huh? Watch my son.

He'll be born moonwalking just to show you up.

You dare hit me?!

If your parents didn't teach you manners,

I'll teach you myself.

You're insulting my parents?

-You think I won't hit you? -Stop it.

-You think I won't? -Patee.

-Damn you! -Easy, Patee.

-Damn you. -Please calm down.

-What are you looking at?! -Stop, Mr. Patee.

-Huh? -Enough, Patee.

-Enough. -Even if you're my wife, I can beat you.

-Please calm down. -Come on. What are you looking at?

-Let go of me. -Enough, Patee.

-Come on. -Please stop.

You're so tough, huh?

-Are you? -Please. Mr. Patee.

Come here, bitch.

I'll miss you so much, Sara.

If we never have to see each other again, that must mean you're all better already.

Thank you so much for taking good care of Meena.

Of course.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

If you want a session,

you need to make an appointment.

And if it's something else, what should I do?

If your business

involves something hidden behind your back,

I'll need to see it first.

You've been walking with your hands behind your back this whole time.

Unless your back's itchy,

I'm guessing you've got something hidden?

Happy belated birthday.

This is for me?

Why?

Why are you giving this to me?

Well, it's your birthday.

Is it weird to give a birthday gift?

Do you give birthday gifts like this to everyone?

Yes. If I know

when their birthday is,

I'd give them to everyone.

Really.

This brand claims

it helps you feel more relaxed.

Just in case you get startled again, you can light the candle

and feel a bit better.

Does it smell good?

Or does it smell too strong?

Do you like the gift, Ms. Sara?

I've known Kram for ages and never got a single thing.

I'll get going.

-Thank you. -Sure.

You talk too much. Just drive.

Hey!

-Hey. -What?

Captain Bank?

-How are you? -Kram.

-Can you stand? -Let me take a look.

Are you hurt?

Just a bit.

So you can't chase the guy now.

It's alright. I've told my men to go after him.

Ms. Sara, this is Captain Bank. He's a cop at the station near my restaurant.

And this is Ms. Sara.

A child psychologist, right?

You helped that kid on the rooftop. I saw it on the news.

Yes.

What did that guy do

to get chased like that? It doesn't seem like something minor.

It's connected to some shady networks.

Whoa, Captain.

Why do you always get the toughest cases?

Well, not many people want to take on dangerous cases like these.

If every officer were like you, things would be much better.

If every officer just did their duty,

followed their own ethical code, the world would be a better place.

This job has a lot of temptations,

money, perks,

but I always remind myself

why I took this job

and who I'm doing it for.

MIND BALANCE

Ow.

Why are you smiling?

Do I need to call Captain Bank to drug test you?

Just drive.

Who is he?

You didn't introduce him to me.

It's nothing.

I don't know if you realize this.

But since I've known you,

I've never seen anyone who can make you smile like that.

I've got another case coming up. I'll go prep for it.

You can allow yourself to be happy.

And if you're happy,

then smile.

Panter, is something wrong?

Thank you.

What's up, man?

So, the other night,

I was going to help Mom bring stuff inside.

But when I got there, I couldn't find her.

Then I saw her heading toward Aunt Naree's place.

So, I followed.

And I saw Mom talking with Uncle Patee in the backyard.

I can't believe

that you're a pedophile.

How could you do this?

At first, I wanted to ask her about it,

but I didn't have the guts. I've been feeling uneasy.

I don't understand why she won't just tell the truth.

How can she keep something like this hidden?

I get why your mom wouldn't say anything, Panter.

It's a big deal.

But that doesn't mean we should turn a blind eye to what happened.

So, what should I do?

I'll try to find a way. But if you hear anything, let me know.

Yes.

Don't overthink it.

Hello, Captain.

I have something I'd like to discuss.

TOMORROW MIDNIGHT. ABOUT YOUR VIDEO

LOCATION: 102/2 SOI THONGLOR 5, BANGKOK WATTHANA DISTRICT 10110, THAILAND

BACK ENTRANCE

Who the hell are you?

You're about to be betrayed.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Who the hell are you? You sent the video to Nun, didn't you?

Where did you get it from? Who are you working with?

Answer me!

I will not let our reputation be destroyed over such filthy scandal.

But if Patee gets exposed about this,

he won't hesitate to bring up the case from 19 years ago

to threaten us.

Then change the game.

Make him pay for the crime from 19 years ago as well.

Say he was obsessed with that girl

and ended up getting her parents killed.

Then he used his father's influence to cover it up.

We had no idea.

If we're gonna strike, strike to kill.

Where did you get that voice clip?

So, you do know something about the case from 19 years ago.

I'm asking you a question.

Be a witness for me. Help reopen the case from 19 years ago.

Even if you kill me,

others still know the truth.

This won't end easily.

If you don't believe me,

go ask those people yourself.

See if they're planning to betray you.

You think you'll get the truth that way?

Betray them first

before they betray you.

I'll be back for your answer.

You think I'd be dumb enough to just come and let you leave?

Where did you get it from?

Who are you working with? Answer me!

What the hell?! Hey! Are you crazy?

Hey!

What kind of driving is that?

Cutting me off like that?! Get out!

This looks familiar.

7GK BANGKOK 900

-Who are you? -Hey. Stop.

Wait.

Ugh.

Wait.

You put a GPS tracker on my car?

The signal showed you were at a bar.

But when I got there, your car had already left.

Who did you meet?

Meet who? I was drinking, obviously.

You don't usually go to that place.

Hey, go buy a polygraph and test me if you want.

Settle it once and for all. You never believe what I say anyway.

Someone like you isn't complicated enough

to need a polygraph.

Really?

Yeah. I couldn't hide anything from you.

Not like you,

a master of secrets.

Complicated. Always hiding things.

What the hell are you saying?

Besides Patee, someone else was following you too?

Yes. But I don't know who.

Maybe we're being watched.

Then we need to be more careful.

What about the voice clip? Does Patee suspect anything?

The original audio we got from Sydney's keychain recorder was very clear.

I used AI to convert it into whatever words we needed.

It was convincing enough to trick Patee.

A small gift for our first session together.

Hana Baby.

I will not let our reputation be destroyed over such filthy scandal.

But if Patee gets exposed about this,

he won't hesitate to bring up the case from 19 years ago to threaten us.

You were smart to send me to train in this stuff.

It's been so useful.

But still, we have to understand human psychology.

That's how we use these tools to reach our goal faster.

I just hope Patee doesn't lose it and go blabbing to that side.

That would ruin our plan.

The only thing Patee is smart at is saving his own skin.

And if he truly believes the voice clip is real,

he won't say a word.

Hey, Dad.

What? If you're not happy, get out.

Panter, take the kids somewhere else.

Do I need to call a rehab center to come take you in?

If I have to go to rehab for drinking,

then everyone in this house might as well be checked into a psych ward.

You're wasted. You should stop drinking.

Mind your damn business.

What demon possessed me

to bring you into this family?

Maybe that demon

was you, Mother.

Don't think I don't know

that the reason you made me marry Naree

was because you wanted to benefit from my father's position.

If you know that, you should realize

your father doesn't hold any position anymore.

You're no longer useful.

Is that so?

If I was really that useless,

You would've kicked me out of this house a long time ago.

But I still get to walk around like this

because I'm keeping a secret for your daughter,

my lovely wife.

Isn't that right?

That's a hardcore way to say thanks, sweetheart.

But I'm not even surprised.

You're the type who enjoys violence anyway.

How did it feel?

Did your heart race

when you saw that poor worker couple die right in front of you?

You talk like you didn't volunteer to help.

Weren't you the one who offered first?

If I'd known helping a murderer

and all the accomplices in this room

would get me nothing but dog shit in return,

I wouldn't have helped in the first place.

Everyone knows this family

only stays together for the sake of benefits. Pfft!

-Enough of this, Patee! If you don't, I-- -What?

What will you do?

Didn't you plan to go even further from the start?

Maybe I really am crazy, just like you said, Mother.

Crazy enough

to have two kids with a murderer,

to stick around for almost 20 years.

You should be grateful

to have someone like me as your son-in-law. I've put up with a lot.

And you should be even more proud, since you've got yourself a new title.

Murderer's Mom.

What the hell?! Hey!

Damn it! Hey! What's wrong with you?!

Hey! Are you crazy?! Hey!

We've been trying to protect this family.

I won't let you ruin everything.

It's good you know this is all about benefits.

The only benefit you have now

is protecting this family's reputation.

If you keep acting insane,

next time, I won't miss.

All talk, huh? You old hag.

Damn it.

We're not open yet. What?

Captain?

Whoa, Captain Bank. You scared me.

Please, have a seat.

Judo.

Regarding what you called about concerning Mr. Patee.

-I've followed up. -Okay.

But I haven't found any leads about child abuse yet.

However, I do have a suspicion.

Last night, Patee secretly met with someone at a secluded place.

But I don't know who it was

or whether it was related to the child abuse case.

Thank you.

I don't know who this person is.

She was completely covered up.

But I almost caught her.

Who are you?

Hey.

I'll take her home now.

Are you a chef who likes art?

Cooking is art, you know.

This is an apology for taking your time.

Not at all.

I didn't expect to meet you. So, I didn't bring the cup back.

Oh, don't worry. I'm not in a rush. I've got plenty more at the restaurant.

Do all your cups at the restaurant

have quotes on them?

Want some?

Why?

Chefs can eat sweets elsewhere too.

When I was a kid, my dad

used to buy me dorayaki after school.

And I'd eat around the edges first,

then save the filling in the middle for one last big bite.

Last bite of bliss.

What do you like to eat?

Anything, I guess.

Anything? That's tough.

If you need anything from me, just let me know.

Consider it a thank you for the gift

and for helping me that rainy day.

By the way,

the friend who picked you up that day.

Are you two close?

We've been friends since we were kids.

She seems very different from you.

I noticed she has tattoos, right?

You smile a lot. But today, your smile isn't like usual.

Captain Bank is keeping an eye on Patee

for some kind of illegal activity.

And he saw Patee

secretly meet someone

who looks like your friend.

The tattoo Captain Bank found

looks exactly like the one I saw on your friend's wrist.

Are you about to ask

-if I know anything? -No.

I'm just worried that if she did something wrong,

it might affect you too.

I don't think it's what you're imagining.

You know?

I know my friend well.

Plang would never do something like that.

But thank you for your concern.

I'll get going now.

I have an early case tomorrow.

Don't forget. You're not alone in this world.

Anything on your mind,

you can always talk to me.

Yes, Captain.

I spoke to Ms. Sara.

She insists her friend isn't involved.

You should verify to make sure if the tattoo

really belongs to Ms. Sara's friend.

Okay.

The meeting's set.

Okay. We need to get everything done.

There's no more time.

You talk like you didn't volunteer to help.

Weren't you the one who offered first?

If I'd known helping a murderer…

This is all I can do.

But are you sure we can reopen the case?

It's not that simple.

From the footage,

there might be enough to push for reinvestigation.

Once you confess with the evidence,

you might have a chance to walk free.

But remember. Everything has to be as solid as possible.

DUSIT THANI

There he is.

I've arrived.

Stick to the plan.

The police will list you as a witness. I'll help you from there.

You better do it.

Of course. We've come this far.

Go confess and hand the evidence to the police.

Once Patee confesses and hands over the evidence,

we'll come forward as the aggrieved party.

That way, the police can reopen my parents' case.

But when that time comes,

you'll have to reveal your true identity.

So this can all end, once and for all.

And another breaking story just in.

The son-in-law of the famous

Lerthanakul family is involved

in a child sexual abuse case.

SON-IN-LAW OF FAMOUS FAMILY INVOLVED IN CHILD ABUSE CASE

-He's here. -There.

Are you turning yourself in for the abuse case?

What were you thinking when you did it?

Hey. What's happening?

-Are you here to confess for this case? -Why did you do it?

-Please answer. -That's not true!

-Please answer, Mr. Patee. -Talk to us.

-Mr. Patee, please. -Please answer.

Ouch! Who hit my head?!

My head hurts!

Do you even know who my father is? Do you?!

-Sara, we're screwed. -What, Officer?

I didn't do anything.

-Is it true, Mr. Patee? -It wasn't me.

-Wait! -Please make way.

-Please don't push. -Hey! Let me go!

-Is it true? -Where are you taking me?

Mr. Patee, is it true?

-Please answer me, Mr. Patee. -I didn't do it.

-Mr. Patee. -Don't!

SON-IN-LAW OF FAMOUS FAMILY INVOLVED IN CHILD ABUSE CASE

Someone leaked the clip before us?

What do we do now?

Didn't you say it wouldn't go this far?

Seoul, please listen to me.

I don't know how this happened either.

If not you, then who?

I'll try to fix this somehow.

Seoul.

The adults are meeting at Grandma's. They sent me to watch over you and Sydney.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I didn't want it to end up like this.

It's not your fault, Seoul.

You already knew?

How could something like this happen?

Naree, did you know anything?

How would I know?

He's your husband!

What's wrong with you, Nun?

I asked what's wrong with you.

I'm sorry.

I actually found out about it earlier.

What?

So, this is what you and Patee were hiding from me?

Someone sent me the video.

I confronted Patee and told him to stop.

But I didn't know it would leak like this.

And you didn't think to tell me?

Huh?!

Why? Why are you so stupid?!

-You know how much damage it causes? -Mom!

-That's enough. -Why are you so stupid?

Mother, that's enough.

Mother,

I'm the one who leaked the video.

Let go of me. Let go.

Let me go! Don't you know who I am?

Don't you? You got a TV at home?!

You know who my father is?!

Why don't you ask your mom?

-Let me go! -Go! Go in.

-Let me go, you bastards! -Get in there!

Damn it! You scum!

You don't know who I am?! You really don't?!

Huh? Don't you know who I am?

I don't care who you are.

Break the law and you face the consequences.

Big talk, huh? You're all gonna be screwed.

Tomorrow you're all getting fired.

You'll be fired for sure!

-Goddammit. -Where are you going? Come here.

You're not so tough after all.

Take off your damn suit and fight me. Come on, one on one.

Damn it.

How did you find out?

Sorry I peeked at your phone, Nun.

I got the video from Nun's phone.

That day, when Patee went off the rails and picked a fight with us,

I thought something felt off, so I started keeping an eye on him.

After that,

he made a call to someone.

He was going to reopen the case from 19 years ago.

-What did you say? -What did you say?

Patee was planning to betray us.

So, I had to release the video first.

As for the video that was sent to Nun, I got someone look into where it's from.

But this is serious, Don.

Why didn't you talk to us first? Why didn't you think it through?

I've thought about this.

Reporters are out front right now.

If you're ready, we'll go give a press conference together.

In times like this, whoever speaks up first gets the upper hand.

Why didn't you tell me first?

Calm down.

Isn't it a great chance?

To kick Patee out of the house

and hand over his responsibilities

to me.

You and your mom would feel more at ease,

wouldn't you?

We just heard the news too.

We're all in shock. Right now, everyone is still processing it.

As legal counsel for the Lerthanakul family, I want to make it clear

that no one else in the family had any knowledge

or involvement in what happened.

All of this is solely Mr. Patee's wrongdoing.

I've also received information

that Mr. Patee may be involved in other cases as well.

-What kind of cases? -I can't say yet.

Once we have confirmation, I'll hold a proper briefing. Thank you.

This is the background of Sara.

There's something important you should know.

This Sara Chaisitthikam…

SARA CHAISITTHIKAM

…used to be a volunteer with our foundation many years ago.

Shortly after that,

she applied for a position in the HR department at Le Thana Group.

LIST OF APPOINTED EMPLOYEES 2020-2024

It seems this woman

has been around us for quite some time now.

SARA CHAISITTHIKAM

PSYCHOLOGIST, 29 YEARS OLD

This is happening because they're starting to catch on.

If you keep pushing forward,

is there a greater chance of success or failure?

So, you want me to just give up and die inside?

Look in the mirror

and tell me how you feel.

Any thoughts on Patee's case? Is the one who sent Nun the clip involved?

If they're connected,

I think there's surely more to this than we know.

Thank you. The kids are lucky to have you.

Do you want to feel lucky too?

Please let us find a witness and evidence.

This is the one who took the money from Kitti.

You really love it, don't you?

Hey, Sara.
