Original subtitles

I, Tanya Kiattrakulmaytee,

will take over the Chief Executive Officer position in every company in the conglomerate after Mr. Pipop.

You came into this family empty-handed.

You can’t take everything to be yours.

Why not?

Your job is to protect Nuengdiao.

Don’t let anything happen to him.

I don’t need a bodyguard.

I need a friend.

Can you be my friend?

If that’s what you want.

I’ll be your friend.

What are you making, Aunt Nid?

It looks yummy.

It’s called Eggs Benedict. Do you know it?

No, I don’t.

I only know omelet, fried egg, and steamed egg.

I have never heard of Eggs Benedict before.

It’s breakfast for rich people.

I cooked many dishes to serve him.

For breakfast, just one dish should be enough.

Why do you need to cook many dishes?

I cook them so he can choose what to eat.

Rich people can have many dishes to choose from for their breakfast.

Just a plate of omelet rice can get my stomach full.

No. Don’t mess with my kitchen.

My kitchen tools may be broken because of you.

Take this dish and serve it to Young Master.

Then come back here to have breakfast with me before leaving for school.

Why aren’t you going?

Hurry and go.

Why are you serving the dish?

You seem to have many duties to do.

Aunt Nid is still busy with cooking.

So she asked me to take it out to you.

She’s worried that you will be hungry.

Why does she need to cook so many dishes?

Look at the table. It’s full of food.

I’m having breakfast alone. My mom is not home today.

If I don’t eat them, they will become food waste.

Have you had breakfast?

Aunt Nid will make omelet rice for me.

Why does she need to cook another dish?

Sit down and have breakfast with me.

It’s okay.

I’ll have my breakfast in the kitchen.

Why?

You don’t want to eat with me?

You said you would do what I told you.

Sit down.

Have breakfast with me.

Eat. Otherwise, we will be late for school.

Just take whatever you want to eat.

If you don’t eat it, I’ll feed you.

It’s okay. I’ll eat it myself.

Try it.

There’s nothing hard about eating.

Palm.

Why are you having your breakfast here?

Why don’t you eat it in the kitchen?

I…

It’s okay, Uncle Non.

Don’t scold him for that. I told him to eat with me.

I think it doesn’t look right.

Palm should have breakfast with me and Aunt Nid in the kitchen.

Shouldn’t you leave for school by now?

You need to wait for the bus and the traffic is also bad.

Yes.

I’ll go wait for you at the car.

You know that you shouldn’t have done that, do you?

Yes, but he asked me to eat with him.

Even though he asked you, you should find a way to say no to him.

Don’t do it again.

You should leave for school.

Why don’t you let Palm ride to school with us?

He will be late for school.

There are seats available in the car. There’s no need for him to take a bus.

I don’t think it’s a good idea.

Tanya helped Palm to get into the same class as you.

I feel so grateful for that.

I don’t want to ask anything more from you.

Palm wants to do things on his own.

He wants to ride a bus to school.

So you don’t need to worry about him.

He will be fine.

Please get in the car if you don’t want to be late.

Yes.

[FRIENDS]

I know that he is suffering as much as I am. That’s why I want to be his friend.

Thank you

Well done.

Your friend composes a sentence from the word ‘peng you’.

What does ‘peng you’ mean?

Yes.

It means friends.

Peng You means friends.

Well done.

I’ll pick another student to compose a sentence.

The new student.

Yes.

I don’t understand what you said.

Have you ever taken a Mandarin class before?

No.

Then why are you in this class?

Can you help him? He can’t catch up with the lesson.

Can you do that? Thank you.

Let’s recap the vocabulary we learned today.

The teacher told me to give this to you.

If you’re going to learn Mandarin, you need to start by learning the vocabulary.

I’m Chopper.

I’m Palm.

Can I speak casually to you?

Of course.

Can I ask you something?

Before you moved to this school, where did you live?

I lived in Chonburi.

Chonburi?

What were you doing there?

I worked on a fishing boat.

You worked on a fishing boat?

That sounds so cool.

If you have any questions or anything that you don’t know, you can always ask me.

Thanks.

It happened again?

Who did this to you?

Last time, they took your book to hide.

This time, they cut your bag.

The level of pranks on you is getting worse.

Are you sure that you didn’t do anything that could make people hate you?

Where are you going?

Your bag is ripped.

Aren’t you going to throw it away?

No.

I’ll send it for fingerprint analysis to find out who did this.

Are you serious?

Hey.

Does this often happen to him?

It normally happens from time to time.

It was not this bad.

After his father died, things got worse.

Other students must feel jealous of him.

Are you alright?

Let me help you.

No, it was my bad.

So I’ll do it myself.

Do you always say no to other people’s help?

Accepting help from others is not a big deal.

Thanks.

Did you help me to win my vote for the next election?

But you should save your kindness for yourself because you will be in college next year.

Next year is the future.

Right now, I’m the class president.

So I need to take care of every student.

Are you being pranked again?

Who dares to do this to you?

My bag was cut.

Don’t pay attention to it. I won’t be here next year anyway.

This school is not a safe zone for me.

You don’t need to endure it.

Why do you need to bear with it?

You should find a way to vent.

Do you have any close friends?

I don’t need one. I’m good on my own.

It’s more comfortable this way.

Are you interested in having me as your close friend?

I can do that.

We have this whole year.

It’s long enough to get to know each other.

What do you want from me?

Just tell me what you want.

Do you want me to ask a favor from the principal or do you want more budget?

What kind of person do you think I am?

If you don’t want to befriend me, just tell me.

You don’t need to accuse me of helping you for personal gain.

That’s a terrible thing to say.

Hey.

I’m sorry.

I’m not used to people being nice to me.

It’s okay.

I get it.

Many people approach you for that reason.

Am I right?

I want to ask you if you want to play piano at a dance club.

They are looking for a pianist.

I often go to play music there.

So I’m thinking about asking you to join.

Are you interested?

Is that a good idea?

I’m not that good at the piano.

I’m afraid that I will embarrass myself.

You are good at it.

I remember I saw you played so well at the Christmas event.

Did you see that?

I thought no one paid attention to me.

Of course.

Please give it a thought. I’ll send the details to you later.

I have to go now. See you.

peng2 you3.

peng2 you2.

peng2

peng2 you1.

peng2 you3.

It is pronounced peng2 you3.

Young Master.

Say it again.

peng2 you3.

peng2 you1.

It’s ‘you3’, not ‘you1’.

peng2 you1.

The third tone in Mandarin is equivalent to the low tone in Thai.

peng2 you3.

peng2 you3.

Remember this feeling.

peng2 you3.

peng2 you3.

Do you remember it?

Do you remember it?

Yes.

Try to say it.

peng2 you3.

Touch your throat when you say it.

peng2 you3.

peng2 you3.

peng2 you3.

- Nuengdiao. - Nueng…

Call me Nuengdiao.

I can’t, Young Master.

You are my boss.

My family owed a lot to your father.

I need to show you respect.

That was between your father and mine.

It has nothing to do with us.

You said you would be my friend but you refused to call me by my name.

At school, I can be your friend.

But here, I’m your servant.

Do you know what the word ‘peng you’ means?

Yes.

‘peng you’ means friends.

Do you know what friends mean?

Friends are not about a place, time, or status.

You can be my friend wherever you are.

Do you like that I order you around?

Fine.

From now on, don’t call me Young Master again.

You can call me Nueng or Nuengdiao.

They are fine with me.

But don’t call me Young Master.

Do you hear me?

I don’t think I can call you that.

If my father hears it, he will kill me.

You don’t need to call me that.

Just don’t talk formally to me.

This is my order. Do you hear me?

Did you order me as a friend or as my boss?

Are you getting on my nerves?

No.

I won’t call you Young Master.

Instead, I’ll call you Mr. Nueng.

I think it’s better this way.

Whatever. I don’t want to argue with you anymore.

You said I was stubborn.

You are more stubborn than me.

Let me see other words you need to learn.

Do you understand this page?

Kind of.

So you won’t embarrass yourself in class tomorrow.

You are using the pool without being considerate to the owner.

If you sneak in to use the pool again,

I don’t want to shoot you to death out of misunderstanding.

Mr. Supakit.

I’m sorry.

I didn’t mean to cheat the casino.

Please don’t hurt me.

You said you didn’t mean to cheat.

But you stole hundreds of thousands of baht from me.

If you planned to cheat me, wouldn’t I go bankrupt?

I’ll try to pay you back as soon as possible.

I already gave the money to my family.

My kid is sick. I need money for his medical bill.

Drop your act as a good father.

You don’t love your kid.

If you do love your kid,

you won’t hide the cards and cheat at my casino.

Am I right?

I’m sorry.

Please don’t hurt me.

You know that I will teach a lesson to those who dare to cheat me.

I’m sorry.

Please don’t hurt me.

Hey.

Please don’t hurt me.

Hey!

If you can’t pay me back, I’ll keep cutting your fingers.

When all your fingers are cut off, I’ll cut your toes.

Do it.

Isn’t this too cruel?

If you want to run this kind of business, you need to have a way to make cheaters afraid of you.

Otherwise, they will come back and take revenge on you.

Look.

I should have been managing a luxurious beach-front hotel.

Instead, I am running a casino and need to deal with these scumbags.

It’s all because of Tanya.

She wants to protect the fortune for her son.

I don’t know what makes her think that Nuengdiao will be good enough to be the leader of Kiattrakulmaytee.

I don’t see any good qualifications in him.

He only cares about playing piano.

If someone needs to step up to be the leader of this family,

It should be either me or you, Chopper.

But I don’t want it.

I will be more proud to build my success on my own.

I get it.

I get that you want to prove yourself.

I’d done that before.

But it’s not that easy.

Do you know how hard I tried?

Because I’m the youngest son.

Whatever I did, I was always compared to Nuengdiao’s father.

Everyone thought he was better than me.

He was the pride of the family.

What about me?

They view me as a failure.

Life is a competition, Chopper.

Then I am lucky.

I don’t have any siblings.

So I don’t need to compete with anyone.

You need to compete with Nuengdiao.

Why do I need to compete with him, Dad?

I don’t want to be his enemy.

There’s no way that we can take his fortune from him.

Even if Aunt Tanya is gone, Nueng is getting ready to take over the business.

What if both of them are gone?

What do you mean?

I didn’t mean anything.

I just want you to know,

Everything that I am doing is also for your future.

Do you get it?

You and I, we are on the same team.

If I need your help, you need to help me.

I have a business to talk about with him.

You should leave.

Is everything okay?

Yes, Mrs. Tanya.

Palm, how is school?

Good.

There’s no problem, right?

No.

Mom, when did you get back? Why didn’t you tell me?

I took a late-night flight back from Phuket.

I thought you must be sleeping.

After dad died, you barely have time for me.

You are an adult now. Do you still need time from me?

Why don’t you go spend time with your friends?

You little brat.

Do you miss me?

Yes, I do.

Mom, do we normally change the water in the pool every week?

Yes. Why?

My current gym class is swimming.

So I will be using the pool often.

I want to find someone to teach me how to swim.

Sure.

You can hire a trainer to teach you at home.

If Nueang is taking a swimming lesson, Palm also needs to take it, right?

Yes.

That’s good.

I’ll hire a swimming trainer to teach you at home.

For both Nuengdiao and Palm.

Palm doesn’t need a swimming lesson.

He was growing up with the sea.

He should be the one who teaches me how to swim.

That’s right.

So we don’t need to hire a trainer.

Let’s have Palm teach you how to swim.

Can you do that, Palm?

Yes, Mrs. Tanya.

You can use the pool anytime.

No one uses it anyway.

For shooting, boxing, and horse riding classes that Nueng is taking, Palm should join him.

Chanon.

Enroll Palm in those classes.

Nuengdiao will have a friend to take the classes with.

Yes, Mrs. Tanya.

Thank you.

Do you miss me?

Of course.

Do it well.

Hurry up.

Those who are late for school.

Get in a line.

Do 20 push-ups.

Get ready.

Hurry up.

Start doing it if you are ready.

Count.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Ouch!

Are you okay?

What?

You only did it five times. Stop putting on an act.

I’ll do it instead of him.

Are you trying to be a hero?

Fine.

But the push-ups you need to do will be doubled.

Yes.

Then do it.

Count out loud.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

Eight.

Nine.

Ten.

Eleven.

Twelve.

Thirteen.

Fourteen.

You don’t need to do it.

You can go in.

But I am also late just like them.

It’s okay.

You can go in.

I’ll take care of everything.

Go in.

Go.

Continue doing it.

Why did you stop?

Count louder.

Sixteen.

Seventeen.

I’ll follow you after I put my bag into my locker.

Hurry. Don’t be late.

I won’t.

Ben.

Chopper.

Do you have something to say?

No.

I just want to say hi to you, my old friend.

After you become the class’s president, we barely talk to each other.

I guess you forgot this old friend after getting the big title.

You are talking nonsense.

I didn’t forget you.

You are the one who avoided talking to me.

Then you disappeared.

Is there something wrong?

No.

I saw you are so into music.

But I’m not.

So I don’t know what to talk to you about.

I forgot.

You are only interested in stock and bitcoin trading, something like that.

I know nothing about it.

It’s too hard for me to understand.

I don’t think it’s too hard for you.

Why don’t you try to play a musical instrument?

No. It’s too hard.

See?

Since when did you become close to Nueng?

I saw you talked to him.

How did you see that?

Have you been watching me?

No.

I saw you guys in the hallway.

Are you sure?

Yes.

That’s right.

I just started to get to know him.

I think he is interesting.

Look around the school.

You will see his father’s name everywhere as a donor.

But he’s never shown it off or boasted about it to anyone.

If it was someone else,

He would take the class’s president away from me.

Moreover,

He and I, we both like music.

So we get along well.

Why are you asking me about this?

Nothing.

I’m just curious.

Are you approaching him because you want something from him?

How could you say that to me?

I sincerely want to be his friend without expecting anything in return.

Maybe because you think of me this way,

we aren’t close friends anymore.

You are using the pool without being considerate to the owner.

I’m sorry.

It’s okay.

I was the one who asked for permission from my mom.

So you don’t need to sneak in to use the pool.

I don’t want to shoot you to death out of misunderstanding.

Thank you.

Do you still want me to teach you how to swim?

No.

I used it as an excuse to ask for permission from my mom.

Am I smart that I came up with the excuse?

Yes, you are.

Don’t you feel cold when swimming at night?

No.

When I was living in Chonburi,

I often went swimming in the sea at night.

Swimming in the sea at night, isn’t it scary?

It’s dark. You don’t know what will attack you.

Darkness is not scary.

If we are alert and ready to fight, there’s nothing to be scared of.

You are quite a boaster.

May I be excused to go back to my room?

Wait.

Why don’t you swim a bit longer?

I want to watch you.

Young Master.

Mr. Nueng, aren’t you going to join me?

No.

I just want to watch you.

Maybe I can learn something from you.

What the hell are you doing?

Palm.

I’m applying to be a volunteer to play piano here.

My friend told me about the position.

You can go home first.

Who is that friend?

Do I know him?

Why?

Do I need to tell you everything?

I have friends too.

Then I’ll go with you.

There may be something that I can help with.

What can you help?

Music is an art.

You are only good at physical activities.

Okay.

Here, please take a look at it.

Thank you.

Sure.

Hello.

Hello.

Are you here to apply for a dance class?

Most of the students here are elderly.

Are you applying for yourself or an elderly in your family?

No.

My friend from the music club told me about the pianist position here.

He said you are looking for a pianist.

Are you Ben’s friend?

Yes.

That’s great.

Ben told me that you are a good pianist.

I was worried that no one would apply for the job.

Because it’s a volunteer job.

People aren’t very interested in it.

The class is also full of the elderly.

It’s okay.

I just want to find a place where I can practice piano.

Do you want to try it now? Just think of it as an audition.

Sure.

I’m Mackie.

What’s your name?

I’m Nuengdiao.

Nuengdiao. Okay.

Is your friend also applying for the pianist position?

No.

He just tags along with me.

He doesn’t know how to play any musical instruments.

It’s okay if you don’t know how to play them.

You can take a dance lesson with me.

Are you interested?

Do you want to take a dance lesson?

Your friend is so good at the piano.

My father will definitely give him the job.

This is my first time seeing him playing piano.

Are you sure you’re his friend? How can you never see his talent?

I mean this is the first time I see him play this song.

I see.

What is your name again?

I’m Palm.

You’re Mackie, right?

I heard it earlier.

Um.

Your ears are working well.

Or is it because you are interested in me?

Huh?

Good job, Nuengdiao.

Excellent.

Why don’t you show support for your friend by dancing to his song?

I don’t know how to dance.

Just give it a try to show support for your friend.

You just need to move along to the music beat.

I really don’t know how to dance.

I’ll teach you.

Trust me.

Stand here.

Hold my hands.

Take a step back.

Take a step to the right.

Take a step back.

Take a step to the left.

I’ll take a step forward while you take a step back.

Okay

take a step to the right.

Walk in a square shape. Okay?

Okay.

Now match your steps to the music beat.

I’m afraid that I will step on your foot.

Be careful.

You may hurt me.

Do you get it?

Yes.

You are pretty good at it.

Didn’t you say you don’t know how to dance?

Let’s do it one more time.

I’ll teach you other dance steps.

After dancing with her, you look more refreshed.

Are you really going to take the pianist job?

If they offer me the job,

I will do it in my free time.

I want to do something useful.

I’m happy when I see other people are happy.

You look happy when you play piano.

Did you notice that about me?

I thought you only looked at Mackie.

I always kept my eyes on you.

Help me. Don’t take my bag.

Give it to me.

What the hell are you doing?

Palm.

Help me.

Palm

Do you want to try me?

Palm, watch out.

Mr. Nueng, call the police.

I’ll get back to you.

Palm

are you okay?

I’m fine.

It hurts a little.

You almost got killed because you tried to be a hero.

I can’t stand it when I see people being bullied.

Especially those who are weak.

Young man, are you alright?

I’m fine.

Thank you so much.

If you didn’t help me, I would be totally robbed.

What are you selling?

Roti Sai Mai.

Have you ever eaten it?

No, but I want to try it.

I’ll buy it all from you.

It’s okay.

I’ll give it to you for free to repay your help.

It’s okay. I want to help you.

Alright. Thank you.

I’m sorry.

I can’t make it look pretty.

Are your hands clean?

You just fought with them.

It’s delicious.

Why have I never eaten it before?

Do you want another piece?

If I tell you I want another 100 pieces,

Will you make them for me?

Sure.

Do you want me to make it for you?

It’s okay. I have someone to do that for me.

Do you want a big or small stuffing?

Just make it the way you usually do.

Do you want to eat it?

It’s okay.

Why?

Don’t you want to eat it with me?

Is it good?

Yes.

You don’t need to tell me. Go tell him.

Uncle, it’s delicious.

Head down, Young Master!

Keep your head down!

What are you listening to?

What?

What are you listening to?

Can I listen to it too?

You are listening to classical music.

You have a good taste in music.

I listen to it in case I can play it at the dance club.

I got the job that you told me about.

I knew.

Mackie called me to tell me the news.

She said you were amazing at the piano.

The elderly in the class loved it.

If I have free time, can I join you?

I need to thank you for telling me about the job.

It’s good that I have new things to do.

If you are hanging out with me, your life will never be boring.

Your life will be full of exciting beats just like music.

You don’t believe me, do you?

I’ll show you.

Play the piano.

How is it?

Why are you being so extra?

It’s not ending yet.

No?

Palm, what’s up?

Nothing.

I have a question about Chinese vocabulary.

This is Ben.

He’s the class president.

This is Palm.

He is the new student in my class.

I saw him before.

You are the new student.

Nice to meet you.

It may be hard to adjust to the new life at this school.

If you have any problems, you can tell me.

I have to go now.

See you at the dance club.

See you.

Who is he?

I told you that he’s the class president.

He is the only one who talks to me nicely.

He was the one who told me about the job at the dance club.

Can he be trusted?

Of course.

I think I am right about him.

You don’t need to suspect him for me.

What is the Chinese vocabulary that you wanted to ask me about?

I’ll help you.

Nothing.

I didn’t have a question to ask you.

I just wanted to check on you if you had any problems.

I was worried that he might be pranking you.

He’s my friend.

He wasn’t pranking me.

You should be helping me look at others positively.

Instead, you are making me scared of people.

Please get in the car.

We should go home right away.

Why? What’s wrong?

Let’s talk about it at home.

Let’s take Palm with us.

It’s okay.

He can take the bus home.

Let Palm come with us.

That’s my order.

Palm.

Get in the car.

But…

No but.

You two are so stubborn.

From now on, you will come to school and go home with me.

Get in the car.

Head down, Young Master!

Keep your head down!

What’s going on, Uncle Non?

It’s probably nothing.

Mom.

What’s going on?

You can go now.

It’s nothing, Nuengdiao.

It was just a small accident.

You are not lying to me, are you?

If there’s something wrong, please tell me.

I’m worried about you.

I told you that I’m fine.

You must be tired from school.

Why don’t you go take a shower and come down for dinner?

I’ll order Aunt Nid to cook something delicious for you.

Mom.

You said you want me to grow up and take over dad’s businesses.

But you are treating me like a kid.

You won’t tell me anything when there are problems. You are always protecting me.

How could I be ready?

On the one hand,

I want Nuengdiao to grow up and be strong enough to do everything on his own.

But I’m also worried that it may be too much for him to do everything on his own.

Chanon.

You saw it.

I’ve stepped up to take Pipop’s position for not long.

People start to express their dissatisfaction with me.

If I was alone, I wouldn’t be afraid of anything.

But I can’t let anything happen to my son.

Palm.

Please take good care of Nuengdiao.

Nuengdiao is soft-hearted.

He is too sensitive.

People always want to take advantage of him.

I don’t know what people want from him when they approach him.

You need to protect him,

both physically and emotionally.

Can I trust you to do that?

Yes, Mrs. Tanya.

I’ll do my best to take care of him.

Directed by Tichakorn Phukhaotong

Be there for a friend whenever, wherever, and whatever the circumstances.

Palm.

I have something to tell you.

You will be seeing me often lately.

I hope you will have a little more trust in me.

I won’t hurt Nuengdiao.

When you shot the target, what were you thinking?

I was thinking that I was protecting someone.

After your father died, the pranks on you are getting worse.

I knew it was you.
