Original subtitles

Do they look the same?

Well, what do you think?

Put that piece in.

The other one. Yes.

Can I see your shampoo bottle, dear?

No.

No way.

Joi, about this shampoo bottle...

I understand how you feel,

but it's in the past now.

Just forget your sad past and have fun with us, okay?

-Shall we? -No!

Honey, he's too young.

He doesn't understand what you said.

Then I will throw this shampoo bottle away.

No!

-Honey. -Dear.

Give it to me.

Give it to me.

Dear!

Okay, dear.

Mommy.

He didn't know that the mother whom he was hugging had passed away.

He still cuddled with his mom for days

without eating or drinking.

Mommy!

His shampoo bottle became a memento of his mother.

It's the smell that he remembers the most.

Oh, poor boy. Here!

Have a look at this car.

Let's make the sword longer.

Here, I'll make it for you.

Are you confused? Where did this one come from?

It's not for that one. See?

But it's okay, right? It's all right now.

Right?

Where did that one come from?

Honey,

shouldn't we tell Mr. Yak about the shampoo bottle?

It's all right. He's not crying anymore.

Kids always cry like that.

I will put the phone number in your bag.

If the parents are bad and you need my help,

you can just call this number.

I'll be there right away.

What are you doing?

You can't do that.

No!

You can't do that. Let it go.

Let go of it.

If you do this again, I will scold you.

Okay?

Come on, let's take a bath.

Let's go.

Come on.

No.

-Come on! -I don't want to.

-No. -Honey.

I don't want to.

-No. -Honey, take my phone.

Honey, take it easy.

-Just go and take a bath. -No.

-Let's take a bath, okay? -No.

Come on.

Quack

The ducks are swimming in the pool

What's wrong?

Do you want something?

I want my shampoo bottle.

Well, this one is better.

-All right? -No.

Why are you being like this?

That's not nice.

Shampoo.

Where is my shampoo bottle?

-Come on, just take a bath. -I want my shampoo bottle.

What do you want?

Mommy.

Mommy.

-Honey. -Honey! What's wrong with him?

He's acting strangely.

I haven't done anything to him.

What should we do?

What should we do?

Passadu!

What is it now?

Joi.

Are you worried about him?

I'm not feeling good about him.

Do you have some kind of hunch?

No, it's instinct.

What instinct?

What hunch?

Hey, Passadu! It's already late at night.

He just fainted. I don't know what's wrong with him.

Let's take him to the doctor.

No way, honey.

If the Cuckoo's Nest finds out about this, we will be blacklisted.

But we didn't hurt him.

It's an accident.

Well, that's true. It's an accident.

The kid just fainted.

Isn't it something that parents can handle by themselves?

Joi.

What are you doing?

Why are you here, Mr. Yak?

As always, I came by to check if everything was all right.

This damn shampoo bottle again.

I told you to throw it away. How come it's here?

Please do something about this.

What can I do?

It's just an old shampoo bottle.

It's nothing.

If anything happens to Joi,

I'll kick you in the ass.

CUCKOO'S NEST

No, Honey. Don't pick up.

Stop it. No.

-Hello? -Hello.

I'm Pitak from the Cuckoo's Nest.

I just called to check if everything is okay

as per the regulations.

I'd just like to know how the boy is doing today.

How are things going?

Well, everything's fine.

Joi, it's me. Can you hear me?

It sounds like he's crying so hard.

Can I talk to him, please?

Well...

Passadu!

Damn it!

What are you crying for?

-What's wrong with you? -Honey.

If you don't stop crying, I'll hit you for real.

Stop it!

What are you doing here?

It's me who should ask both of you.

What have you done to him?

Wait...

What did I do wrong?

I haven't done anything yet.

That's enough.

I haven't done anything that might hurt him.

How is he doing?

Let him rest for tonight.

We'll talk about this tomorrow.

Was he abused?

No.

For some kids,

psychological wounds run deeper

and are even more painful than physical wounds.

I don't know how long it will take to heal.

Mom, please don't go.

Mom!

Mom!

Hey, Jamjai!

Didn't you have to stay with the trial family?

No, I did not.

Don't tell me that you won't go and live with them?

I passed up on them just for you!

Piano, you gave up on them

because you wanted to go to Mangkorn's birthday party.

It's the same thing.

I passed this family to you.

Why aren't you taking them?

Give me a good reason!

I was actually happy.

That sounds good to me. So what happened?

I felt that I was too happy.

It was so much that it made me feel guilty.

What? You felt guilty?

Piano, don't interrupt her. Let Jamjai finish her thoughts.

I felt guilty about my mom.

Because when I was with her, I was never that happy.

Do you like it?

-It's all right. -It's okay.

-Just let it go. -It's okay.

-Everything is fine. -It's all right.

-It's okay, Porjai. -Porjai.

I'll buy you a new one, okay?

Just go and buy a new one.

-It's okay. Daddy will get a new one. -No.

-What color do you want? -I don't want it.

It floated away now, my dear.

But it's all right. We can get a new one.

I'll buy you five more balloons, okay?

Hey, you scared the hell out of me.

Woof.

-Woof. -Welcome home, Joi.

-Woof. -What pleasant weather today.

Joi, can you smell something nice?

Woof.

Woof.

That's no fun!

Joi always chooses Passadu, no matter what.

That's because Joi is my puppy.

-Woof. -Woof.

-Woof. -Woof.

-Woof. -Woof.

-Do you want some of this? -Can you get that?

No need to fight over food. Here.

Just leave it over there.

-Nokkrajib. -What?

Take a look.

Who is a Sagittarius?

Some kids don't know what zodiac sign they are.

That's right. Singh?

-Right. -Me?

What? You're a grown-ass girl

and still don't know what your zodiac sign is, huh?

I'm just not sure.

Some say I'm a Scorpio,

-but others say I'm a Sagittarius. -Okay, enough.

I don't want to listen to your astrology lessons, Auntie.

-Well... -What?

Why did you ask about that?

Or are there parents who want to adopt a Sagittarius kid?

Exactly! How did you know?

It's just a lucky guess.

They also mentioned that they want a Sagittarius kid,

but no gender or age restriction.

Then I'll go. I'm going.

If I remember correctly, there is another kid who is a Sagittarius.

Really? Me?

Life is unfair.

Why do they choose only Sagittarius kids?

Yes, I'm a Sagittarius.

But what's wrong with this family though? They aren't choosy about age

but instead specifies birth date or birth month.

That's a load of nonsense.

Who said that we have the right to choose a family?

If this is the case, we're no different from other places.

You're also fed up, right?

You're still not adopted

because you're mute.

I'm so anxious, you know?

I might end up not being adopted like you.

You're mute and I have this ugly scar.

This might be my last chance.

If they choose me,

I'll get a job when I turn 18

and have a family like others.

Moreover, if they're kind,

they might take me to treat this scar.

Mangkorn.

-Are you by yourself? -Yes.

How about the others?

They're at home, some have other stuff to do.

Other stuff?

They're having a trial adoption.

Why do you ask?

Nothing, just that I normally see you

hanging out with your gang like the flock of cuckoos.

Gang?

We're not a gang.

We're not punks or gangsters.

-No, I didn't mean that. -I'm joking.

What do you and your friends think about me?

Think about what?

After that incident at my birthday party,

you might think that I'm a spoiled rich kid, right?

What's wrong with being a spoiled rich kid?

That day when you played the piano

and then your friends tried to protect you.

I think you guys are brave and so cool.

-Really? -Absolutely.

That's why I'm worried that you guys probably

don't want to be friends with me.

I want to be your friend.

But you are not doing this

because you're sorry that we are orphan kids, right?

No. I admire you guys.

Admire?

Please come to play at my house again tomorrow.

My mom wanted me to invite you guys.

You two just sit and wait here.

I will inform the foster parents of your arrival.

-Yes. -Roger that.

-Hey. -Yes?

Today we're rivals.

What? Rival?

This is a competition to become the stepchild of this house.

They asked for both of us.

But in the end, they'll choose only one, right?

I guess so.

So today I won't be kind to you.

Have you ever been kind to me?

Hey, what did you just say?

-You-- -Be quiet, please.

Could you please be a little quieter?

I'm sorry.

Follow me this way.

Hello.

Hi!

I can sense some positive energy

radiating from the two of you.

You are making them nervous.

Well...

I'm so sorry.

You two might be so curious

about why we are on computer screens?

I'm so sorry about this.

Normally, If I can see you in person

I can tell what kind of person you are by using my special power.

And we don't need to waste our time to do this trial run.

That is their standard procedure.

Usually, we don't have time to stay home.

Right now,

I was invited by the royal family of some country

to come and provide my service.

Are you a fortune-teller?

I think you'd better call me

an astrology specialist.

As for me, I'm an entrepreneur.

I own a multinational logistics company.

One that deals with clients around the globe.

But have no time for his own family!

How dare you throw this to me?

You are exactly the same.

You understand what's going on, right?

So we came up with this idea.

Well...

-Waew. -Yes, ma'am.

Well, why do you need someone whose zodiac sign is Sagittarius though?

Because it is the most compatible with our family.

So we can get along with no problem.

Compatible?

This is Dream.

Our only child.

We don't have much time to stay at home.

We thought that Dream might get lonely, so we wanted to find someone for her.

Someone who is like a sister. Like a family member.

Say hello to her.

Hi!

You can go home after you finish it.

Just think of this meal as a thank you for coming here today.

-But-- -I don't want anyone.

Don't you understand?

But your parents--

You guys came here for the sake of money, right?

We didn't hope for that at all!

Well, you'll be disappointed then.

Waew,

could you kindly explain the financial contract to these girls?

Before completing the adoption agreement,

a deal will be made stating that

the stepparents will support you with education funds

and provide a monthly stipend

until you earn your bachelor's degree.

And after graduating,

we will provide you with a monthly allowance

equivalent to the salary of someone who has a bachelor's degree

for the rest of your life.

The contract will end when the stepchild

gets married or passes away.

But you will have no right to inheritance funds.

Is that clear?

Hey, they're so stingy!

I knew it.

-What are you mumbling about? -No, it's nothing.

It's good that you understand. Thanks again for coming today.

But we're not here for the sake of money.

We just want to have a family.

Family?

You kids are strangers.

How can you become a part of my family?

Even Waew, who has worked here since I was a child,

doesn't expect anything like that.

Because she's not a Sagittarius.

I don't believe in astrology or blood type like my mother does.

So tomorrow--

I said that it's not necessary.

She has hot flashes just like you, Auntie.

Waew, I'm full now.

But miss...

Seeing these beggars makes me lose my appetite.

Hey, wait up!

Let's go back and wait inside the house.

The Ice Lady will come to pick us up soon.

You go back on your own.

Are you upset?

Yes, what a bummer.

She called us beggars. How rude!

She didn't even get to know us yet.

She probably doesn't want to get to know us.

So why did you follow me out here?

Just go back and wait for Nam to pick you up.

I can go back by myself.

You should be happy.

I don't want to compete with you anymore. I give up.

Give up?

I didn't even think about competing with you at all.

I'm probably destined

to be an orphan forever.

Is there any way I can help you?

You don't need to do anything.

Let's go back inside again.

Just wait until she calms down.

I'll help speak for you.

Don't bother. She doesn't like me.

She will just offend me more and more.

Everybody, I've got some news.

What news?

Mangkorn invited me and all of you to play at his home tomorrow.

But didn't he just hold his birthday party?

That's how rich kids are.

I also used to do that.

On the weekend, I would invite friends to visit my home

-Who wants to come with me? -No, I'm not going.

Jamjai.

I still haven't finished my homework.

How about Passadu?

I'd rather not. I'll return to that Sagittarius home.

Auntie said that

that family has a daughter, and they're stingy.

If that's the case, why do you want to go back to that house?

I don't know.

But sometimes we shouldn't judge people too quickly.

Then I'll go to Mangkorn's house with you.

Why do you change your mind so fast?

Just now you said that you didn't want to go.

Gosh.

Didn't you say it'll be at Mangkorn's home?

Location doesn't matter.

And look at that fancy dress.

Mind your own business.

Mangkorn!

Why do those brats follow him?

I'm so sorry. Are you bored?

I'm okay. I'm just sitting here.

It's quite relaxing though.

I forgot that today my mom's friends will be at home.

So it's inconvenient for us.

It's all right.

I think I'd better go now.

I have a tutoring class this evening.

Mangkorn, can I ask you something?

Yesterday, when you asked me

what I think about you.

Yes, so?

I replied that

I want to be your friend.

But actually...

What?

I don't want to be your friend.

What?

But it's not in a bad way.

Well, how can I explain it?

I admire you.

It's like I admire you so much!

You like me?

Thank you.

And do you like me?

Yes.

I like you as a friend.

I'm sorry.

You don't have to say sorry.

I don't want to lie to you.

But I'm in love with another girl.

I'm here again.

What?

Why aren't you going to the trial run?

Because their daughter doesn't want me to be there.

But she's not the one who makes the decision.

Her parents are the ones who decide which one they want.

But they let their daughter choose, so I don't have the right to choose.

Your duty is to behave yourself so they will choose you.

Don't you realize that this house might be your last ticket?

After this, you might not get another chance.

Don't you realize that?

Why do I have to become their choice?

They clearly stated that

they won't provide anything except for tuition fees.

Moreover,

they just want someone to be with their daughter.

Why don't they just buy a puppy for her then?

I will graduate from high school in a few months.

-I don't want to be their servant! -Hey.

Who taught you to be so selfish like this?

I've given up

on family

or those ideal loving parents.

Stop selling dreams,

-I'm not a 7-year-old girl anymore. -Hey!

Do you think everything I've done here is just some pipedream?

You're insulting me!

If that's what you think, get the hell out of here then!

Get lost!

Why are you still standing here? Go away!

Singh, keep out of this! Just let her go.

I don't want to stay here anyway.

Enough is enough!

Don't help me, I can do it myself.

That girl with the scar, did she not come?

No.

She didn't come because there is no money for her, right?

Hey, you're the one who told her not to come!

She just talks the talk.

"We're not here for the sake of money.

We just want to have a family."

That's a lie.

-Hey, watch it! -Yes?

You...

You can call me Passadu.

That's how everyone calls me.

Such an odd name.

If you're at the Cuckoo's Nest,

I will call you...

"The Wheelchair Girl."

No, thanks! That doesn't sound nice at all.

What made you wheelchair-bound?

You can walk, can't you?

I could walk in the past.

But two years ago

-I fell from a horse. -Really?

I was in the competition, and I was even in the lead.

And suddenly...

Thump!

Then I woke up crippled.

Is it incurable?

I've tried so hard and just gave up.

I always make my parents worried.

Even though they're very busy,

they always find ways to make me feel better.

When they travel, wherever they're in the world,

they always make VDO calls

and buy me souvenirs.

Passadu, you heard about it, right?

My parents are trying to find a sister for me.

-Liar! -What?

You were mad at us yesterday.

But in reality, you were angry with your parents.

That's not true.

Really?

Passadu, what are you doing!

Help!

Miss!

What happened?

Are you hurt?

What did you do to her?

It's nothing, Waew.

I just fell over.

I'm going home now.

Are you coming tomorrow?

What's wrong with you guys? Why are you crying?

He's in love with another girl.

Wait, stop it.

Now we have a bigger problem.

What is the problem? Is it more serious than mine?

Auntie was kicked out by Mr. Yak.

What did you say?

Why?

Mr. Yak got mad because Auntie refused to go back to the Sagittarius house.

Where is she now?

She has a mother?

Yes, Auntie ran away from home when she was 13.

But her mother didn't care.

Then why did she go back?

Maybe she didn't know where to go.

But I'm not sure if Auntie went back to see her mom.

And how did you know about that stuff?

I've heard Mr. Yak talking with Singh.

Passadu, you need to help Auntie. It's all because of you!

Hey, why are you blaming me?

If you had not gone to that home,

Auntie would have had a better chance.

That's not fair, Piano.

Passadu is also a Sagittarius.

You always take her side. This is what I call unfair.

I have a plan to help Auntie.

But you need to help me too, Jamjai.

Wow, you have a daughter and she has grown a lot.

Why didn't I know about that?

And why do I have to tell you about that?

You didn't tell me because you're worried about her, right?

Worried? Such nonsense.

She's still too young anyway.

How old are you, dear?

I'm 17.

What? You're 17 now?

Your daughter has grown a lot.

It makes me wonder how old you are!

That's rude! It's not nice to ask a woman about her age.

Although I'm aging and have a child,

I'm still hot, you know?

Come here and sit beside me.

Don't be afraid.

You have beautiful eyes just like your mother.

Now tell me, what else do you have in common with your mother?

Today is her first day. She's still a shy newbie.

She'll get used to it soon.

Let's just drink, okay?

I've already mixed this drink for you.

I'm not sure if it's good. Please have a sip.

Why are you crying?

I told you not to come back.

You can't weep in my bar or treat my customers like that.

I'm sorry.

You think I'm doing a low-class and dirty job, don't you?

It's too bad that you were born as my child.

If you want to stay with me,

you need to work too.

It's been years and still hasn't faded away.

What a pity.

Mom, you're too drunk. Stop drinking.

Gosh! You're so annoying.

Don't lecture me!

You bitch!

The only good thing about being born as a woman

is that you have a pretty face and you can make use of that.

What are you trying to say?

Take this and go to see the doctor.

Tell him to do whatever he can so that will not leave a scar.

Got it?

They don't know how to tidy things up.

It has to be like this.

Just press it.

Any number is fine.

No way.

If you enter the wrong pin one more time, the phone will be locked.

Why do I have to press it?

It's unlocked now.

Just find the number quickly.

What is this? The names aren't displayed.

How can we know which one is Nam's phone number?

Do you want to take a break?

I'm all right. I still can do it.

I'm sorry to let you fall down.

No need to say sorry.

I'm the one who needs to thank you.

For making me realize things.

What do you mean?

I used to think that...

If I got better,

Mom and Dad wouldn't care about me anymore.

You need to take better care of yourself.

Okay!

There are so many things I'd like to do.

If I can walk again,

instead of being just a burden,

I want to make my Mom and Dad proud of me.

That's great.

Yes! Let's try again, shall we?

She ran away last night.

Do you know where she is going?

How should I know? She disappeared for years

and suddenly just showed up, then ran away again.

What do you expect me to do?

Are you sure that you don't know anything?

Hey, I've already told you that I don't know.

If I knew, I wouldn't be interrogated by you like this.

I'm not a criminal.

You're wasting my time.

And what about you?

It's your responsibility to take care of that kid, right?

How could you let her run away?

Shouldn't her mother be the one who is supposed to take care of her?

If you had done your duty properly four years ago,

we wouldn't have this problem today.

Mom, where were you last night?

I was worried about you.

Worried for what?

I'm your mother.

Mom.

Don't lecture me.

Seeing your face makes me sick.

Mom, you're too drunk. Stop drinking.

Gosh! You're so annoying.

Don't lecture me!

You bitch!

Why were you born to be my daughter?

Why were you born to be my daughter?

I didn't know what to do.

If she were still with me,

she would probably end up like me.

I got pregnant before I was 20. I didn't finish school.

I've done so many bad things in my life.

And I don't want her to end up like me.

That's why you gave up on being a mother?

I gave her a chance to have a new life,

so she could break out from this vicious cycle.

I agree with what you did.

Because a woman like you shouldn't be a mother at all.

What should I have done?

I didn't feel any love

or attachment to her at all.

Even though she was in my womb and I gave birth to her,

I don't feel like her mother at all.

Giving them a chance to live a good life is fine,

but you neglected your responsibility as a mother twice.

First, when you let her go four years ago and then today.

It's no wonder you don't feel anything.

But if there's still any human decency left in you,

please tell me where Bow is now.

Auntie, where are you now?

Everyone is worried about you.

Really?

Are there people who are worried about me?

Of course! You suddenly disappeared,

how can everyone not be worried?

Thank you.

But don't worry about me.

I'm doing fine.

Where are you now? Are you safe?

Yes, I'm safe. I'm at my friend's place.

My mom was so happy when she met me.

She told me that she misses me.

And she wants me to go back and stay with her.

She really does love me.

Passadu, I've got to go now.

My friend is here.

Auntie, don't go.

Tell me where you are.

Auntie!

Go away, you sick pervert!
