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!

Young man, who are you looking for?

Stop pounding on the door already.

-Hey, why are you not answering me? -Auntie.

Are you deaf?

Singh.

Someone has already picked her up.

She is really at the hotel you told me about.

Of course! Why would I lie?

I will let it slide this time.

But if it happens again,

whether with your daughter

or anyone else's daughter,

criminal investigations won't end easily like this.

You don't need to lecture me.

Are we done here?

I am going to open my bar now.

And please tell her

to never come back here.

I don't want to see her again.

Have you eaten yet?

Eat something so you don't get hunger pangs.

Don't cry.

Hey, stop crying, I said.

While you are staying at the Cuckoo's Nest,

you have to be patient, got it?

When I tell you off for something, you can't just run away like this.

You have to be a strong and good role model for the other kids,

got it?

If that's not enough, there's more in the kitchen.

If you hadn't rescued that girl today,

she would be in big trouble.

If that happened, I'd live in guilt forever.

Thank you so much.

Hey, Passadu.

Why have you come back?

I thought you'd stay the night there.

I was worried about Auntie, so I asked to come back.

I'll go there again tomorrow.

Mr. Yak allowed Auntie to return home.

What a relief.

Staying here is much better.

So how was the trial home you went to?

I feel sorry for them.

They're super-rich.

What makes you feel that way?

Some people have everything.

They have a father and a mother,

but they're still lonely.

Auntie is the same. She met her mom but returned with tears.

What does happiness really mean?

I don't understand.

Neither do I.

Gosh.

I can't do it anymore.

You're already giving up?

No...

I am a Capricorn.

I'm stubborn. I won't give up so easily.

But I'm already exhausted for today. Let's try again tomorrow, shall we?

Okay.

Passadu, please come and help me to practice every day, okay?

But I have to go to school.

Then when you come back home,

I want you to come and live with me.

What do you mean?

Mom was right.

A Sagittarius

always cares so much about others.

Passadu!

We made it! We've got the telephone number.

Were you caught?

Almost.

Your plan was kind of risky.

We had to let Jamjai be held hostage.

What's the PIN code?

It's 2412.

That's my birthday!

You were born on Christmas Eve!

Dream!

Daddy, Mommy.

I have something to tell you.

-You can stand up now! -What a miracle!

God bless.

Very good, my dear.

Mommy, I want to adopt Passadu as my sister.

I will deal with the adoption process.

But first, you have to listen to what your Mommy has to say.

What's the matter?

Why are both of you acting so weird?

Dream, my dear, I'm so happy to see

that you can walk now.

But...

I have something important to tell you.

The thing is...

your dad and I,

we've decided to get a divorce.

However, there's no need to worry.

I will still love you the same.

Dream,

even after the divorce,

I'm still your mother

and you're the one I love the most.

Dream, you're the apple of my eye.

Dream, I love you so much.

This house seems to suit you.

Plus, their daughter likes you.

If it's okay with you,

you can tell them to make a contract.

Okay.

Dream, what's wrong with you?

Who hurt you?

My parents are getting a divorce.

Even if I can walk, it's useless now.

You don't need to talk about it, miss.

Let's go.

Why are you doing this to me, Dream?

Damn it!

Here are two new families.

They want to adopt a girl aged under ten.

Have a look.

Both families look so kind.

Let me see too.

But a small house like this probably has no piano,

so I'll pass.

Have a look.

Never mind.

Nonsense, you've been here for ages,

and you still haven't had a trial run.

Do you want to stick around and get old like Auntie?

I want to have a family that has Western daddy and mommy.

But there's no such family.

Foster families are not easy to find.

It's not like the department store where you can just shop around.

Then I'll wait for my real Daddy and Mommy.

They might come and pick me up one day.

Stop daydreaming.

Snap out of it!

This place is called the Cuckoo's Nest.

It's not a palace or a castle.

And you're surely not princesses in a fairy tale, got it?

Your duty is to try

to find a home and stand on your own feet!

Understand?

Understand?

Yes, I do.

Will you stop daydreaming?

Yes, I will.

Then prepare for a trial.

One, two, three.

Two, three.

This one is light.

And do you like me?

Yes.

I like you as a friend.

I don't want to lie to you.

But I'm in love with another girl.

-Do you know what's for snack today? -I don't know.

Be quiet, Piano is sleeping.

Why did she go to sleep so early?

Is she sick?

Her temperature is normal. Maybe she's just tired

because she was out in the sun while doing PE.

Let's go to bed early too.

Tomorrow, Nokkrajib has to go to a foster home.

She will feel refreshed that way.

What's wrong with you, dear?

You look pale.

It's nothing.

Our house might be untidy and cramped.

When I'm free, I will clean it up nicely, okay?

Don't bother. My real home is small too.

My goodness, is she unwell?

Have a look at her.

Maybe it's the smell of the engine oil.

Take her inside

before she vomits.

Right. Let's go, dear. Let's go inside the house.

You should come in soon too.

We'll eat together. There's not much food left anyways.

Okay, I will follow you soon.

Very good, my dear. It's good to have a daughter to help out.

Please come stay with me, my dear.

Gosh, you're sweating like a pig.

Although our food is not fancy,

I've tried my best to cook it for you.

Gosh, what a hot day today.

Hey, what do we have for lunch?

I'm coming.

Here.

There you go, my special omelet recipe.

You just added minced pork.

And does that make it special?

Well, of course, yes.

Here you go.

Rice for me.

And here's some for you.

Eat up, so you'll grow fast.

All right, Mom.

Dear, do you want some omelets?

Mom!

-Hey, what's wrong? -What happened?

-What's the matter? -Hang in there.

-Find an inhaler quickly. -Is she okay?

-Inhaler! -Inhaler.

-Where is it? -Bring me the fan. Quickly.

-What's wrong, dear? -Inhaler...

-Where is it? -Oh, no, she fainted!

Why hasn't she returned yet?

This means she's in a bad condition, right?

We don't know that yet.

We shouldn't have forced Nokkrajib to go to the trial.

She didn't even want to go.

We didn't force her though.

Mr. Yak did.

Just you wait! If I find out that they did something bad to her,

I'll kick their asses!

Last time, it was Joi.

And now Nokkrajib.

-Nokkrajib! -Nokkrajib!

Singh, take her to the bedroom.

-Nokkrajib. -Wake up. Nokkrajib. Wake up.

Wake up.

She is still unconscious.

Why did you rush to bring her back?

The doctor told me she's okay.

The problem is all mental, not physical.

Nokkrajib, you're home now. Wake up.

Wake up, Nokkrajib.

Let's have dinner.

Singh made your favorite chicken macaroni for you.

She's waking up now.

How dare you! Nokkrajib is sick,

and you still splashed water on her.

I wanted to wake her up.

You could have just called her.

We called her many times but she didn't wake up.

It's obvious she's pretending to sleep.

You're a heartless brat!

What the heck? Why is she so mad at me?

I'll go have a look at that garage

to see if there's anything wrong with them.

Sounds good. If there's anything suspicious, we'd be able to prevent it.

Let me go too.

Stay out of it. Just go to school.

I know Nokkrajib the best.

I know what her likes and dislikes are.

I can figure out what made Nokrajib feel so sad that she passed out.

That's true though.

Maybe Passadu can help us out.

Okay.

What are Nokkrajib's real parents like?

Are they the ideal parents that she dreams about?

Well, Nokkrajib's dad,

he...

He was a foreign tourist

while her mother did all kinds of work.

They were not well off,

but her mother worked her fingers to the bone.

Back to the question about Nokkrajib's dad.

What does he look like?

Is he the ideal dad that she dreams of?

I don't really know

because even Nokkrajib herself

has never seen her dad before.

And her mom didn't bother to find him.

After she came in for a while, she became listless.

We guessed that she might not like the smell of engine oil,

so we went inside the house.

And when we were about to have lunch,

she suddenly fainted.

We were so shocked that we forgot to even eat.

Go buy some food for the two of us. Okay?

Don't say anything.

-Hurry back when you're done. -Okay.

So what are you waiting for?

Off you go!

Hey. Wait. Don't go yet.

That bastard's here again.

He comes by every day.

What the hell does he want?

Just look at her, look!

What kind of vendor smiles so brightly at a customer?

She has such a big smile on her face.

Is it possible that they are a couple?

A couple?

That lousy jerk?

Impossible.

Or is it not?

Mr. Yak, do you know that lady?

I know her very well.

Then why don't you go there and buy the food yourself?

Gosh, look who's starting to talk back.

If you know her well,

you should go and talk to her.

How can I?

She doesn't even want to see my face.

Why not?

That's because...

I killed her child.

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

What a pity.

The only good thing about you being born as a woman

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

Take this and go to see the doctor.

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

Got it?

Look at the road here.

What about you?

Wait, let's have some fun.

Are you crazy?

Why are you following me?

No, I'm not.

My house is this way.

Really?

So you have a home?

I thought you said you're an orphan.

Maybe it's the shed over there.

No, it's not.

How can you live there?

There are only stray dogs.

They are probably good friends.

Orphans and

stray dogs.

I said no and that means no.

There, now. Did we make you angry?

We were just kidding.

What are you doing?

Let me go. What the hell are you doing?

Let go.

-Let go. -What are you guys doing?

Thank you, ma'am.

You brought the little boy here today too.

What would you like to eat?

Joi has a sweet tooth.

You like sweets?

I have some banana in coconut milk. Would you like some? Do you like it?

Yes, I do.

I like it too.

-All right. Okay. -Yes.

-Well... -Ms. Hom.

May I have three servings, please?

My son, Win, will steal from me anyway.

I see.

Plus, this kid is a huge fan of your cooking.

We've got four of them.

Let's eat together.

-Okay? -Wait.

Yes, sir. Don't be scared, son.

He won't hurt you.

I don't mean you any harm.

I just want to tell you

to stop messing with another man's wife.

Wife?

Are you misunderstanding something?

Who is your wife exactly?

"May I have three servings, please?"

"Oh, my, you're the best cook in the world."

I am the legitimate husband of Mrs. Namhom.

Is that clear?

Well...

All right.

Let's go, son.

I'm taking this.

May I have at least one?

All right, I'll just go.

Okay.

Nokkrajib, you're not eating anything again.

You might faint again.

You'll become skinny.

Didn't you tell me being skinny will make you ugly?

Singh cooked this for you, you know? It looks yummy.

How did I lose it though?

Hey, girl.

Yes, ma'am?

Are you looking for your wallet?

Yes, ma'am. How did you know that?

I kept it for you.

But it's not with me now.

Can you come and take it from my restaurant this evening?

The one you used to buy food from. Do you remember?

Yes, ma'am.

Thank you so much.

I'm happy to help.

Here's your wallet.

Thanks, ma'am.

Have a look. See if everything's still there.

It is.

Wow, you're so kind to me.

I don't know how I can ever repay you.

If you want to repay me,

could you stay and have dinner with me?

Just a moment. Please?

Well...

Yes, ma'am.

Good. Please wait here.

I'll prepare the meal.

I'd better help you out.

What are you cooking?

-Green curry. -Nice.

That's holy basil.

-Help me pluck the leaves. -Okay.

All right. Let me place it here.

-How is it? -Wow!

-Let's try your green curry. -All right.

-Here. -Thank you, ma'am.

Wow!

It's so yummy.

Can I hold a candle to your mother's cooking?

I can't remember the taste of my mother's cooking.

So you guys don't cook much at home?

No, ma'am. I live in an orphanage.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to...

It's totally fine. I'm used to it.

In the past, I lost my child.

It happened a long time ago.

But when I think of it, I still feel...

so sad.

I'm sorry to hear that.

It's all right.

I think everyone has their own problems.

We just need to avoid burdening ourselves with more unnecessary problems.

But I understand

that you want to impress your friends.

But there are both good friends and bad friends.

Bad friends will lead you down a dark path.

Yes.

But if you want a friend,

I can be one.

I've only got a few friends. It's so lonely.

And I assure you that I won't misguide you.

Please?

Okay.

Okay!

Let's celebrate with this omelet.

Here's to our friendship.

It's my favorite.

What a stubborn omelet.

-Thank you. -My pleasure.

Have some water first.

Thank you.

Are you feeling hot?

Shall we go inside?

I can turn on the aircon for you.

It's all right.

Actually, we came here to ask you only a few questions.

Well, then why didn't you bring my niece here too?

She should have come too.

Well...

She couldn't come with us today

because she's so depressed at the moment

to the extent that she can't do anything.

She thought that

her late mother would come to take her away.

So she just keeps waiting.

Why don't you just adopt your niece, ma'am?

You're her mother's sister.

You shouldn't let your own niece

become an orphan.

Passadu!

Apologize to her now.

It's okay.

I know what you mean.

I also think about her too.

When the accident happened,

I also thought to myself

whether I was wrong for not adopting her.

But I also have my responsibilities.

My husband divorced me.

Having to find medical fees for my son,

I could hardly make ends meet.

But it's better than letting her stay with total strangers.

It's obvious that she still can't get over it.

Actually, the one who holds her back from getting over it

might be me.

Are you and Nokkrajib's mother identical twins?

When she woke up

after the accident,

she suddenly rushed to hug me

and called me, "Mommy."

I didn't know what to do.

I accidentally blurted out,

"It's all right. Mommy is with you."

It was all my fault.

That means,

there's no way that her relatives will adopt her.

Right.

But I think that even if her aunt is willing to adopt her,

it might only make her more confused.

She's an imaginative girl.

She still can't differentiate between the real and imaginative world.

Especially when her aunt looks exactly like her mother,

it will make things even more complicated.

Do you have her phone number?

Yes, I do.

Why do you need it?

Maybe her aunt can help us out with something.

-Is it this house? -Yes.

On Mangkorn's birthday, I saw Nokkrajib sneaking around here.

So what's the plan?

I don't know yet.

I just don't want to sit around

and let Passadu

go investigate alone.

You want to help Passadu?

Why on earth would I help her?

The person I care for is Nokkrajib.

I'm starting to think

there may be other ways to cheer her up.

What other ways?

Geez! You have so many questions.

You'll find out shortly when the couple's here.

Are you sure that you won't make it even worse?

You won't know unless you try.

You honestly want to help Nokkrajib?

Or do you think this is some kind of competition between you and Passadu?

Hey!

If you don't want to be on my side,

then go ahead and side with her!

May I help you?

Actually, I'm not their daughter.

-What? -What?

I'm their niece.

That man is my uncle.

I know what the word "uncle" means.

Piano!

Does your uncle have any kids?

But they really want to have a baby.

He's taking Auntie Maria to see the doctor.

The doctor is a specialist that helps couples who have trouble

conceiving to increase their chances.

That's great news!

We'll have to wait for the doctor's confirmation if it's a success or not.

I don't think we're on the same page.

I meant great news for our friend!

What's your friend got to do with this?

Hey, Nokkrajib.

I've got good news for you.

-Gosh! -What?
