What a shame.

You've collected these over the years.

But if they can be exchanged into money,

then it's better than them just sitting there.

Hello? Is it you, Nut?

What's up?

I like you, Nut.

How did you know my name?

Here.

It's also the name on the board.

I've never met anyone like you before.

Then you should hire me.

- But we... - Three months.

I'm going to help grow your stock by no less than 1.5%.

This time, you might have to talk to a lawyer.

I'm really desperate.

I can prostrate to you if you want.

Dad?

Mom! Dad!

We're here.

(A.D. 2008)

Everything's still the same.

Don't you guys think so?

You probably see it as an old house.

- But for me... - I know.

How many times have you said it?

But if you've brought us here to convince us to buy it,

then I disagree.

It's not worth the money.

I know that even though I'm stupid.

That's right. That's why I handle the finances.

Don't you see?

How much did our company profit last year?

It has to be better this year.

The country's GDP confirms this.

I can't foresee any problems.

Are you sure?

Do you remember 1996?

Wasn't it just the same?

Our country's been in shambles since then

because of arrogant morons like you.

Why?

I think you probably understand

what he meant by that.

We graduated in 1996. Didn't a lot of good things happen?

Work was good.

Everything was beautiful.

But didn't it only last for a year?

You know what happened the year after that.

Wasn't Fern's house seized because of this kind of thing?

(A.D. 1999)

(Happy New Year)

Nont,

you haven't left yet?

I'm almost done, Noi. Just a little bit longer.

You've been saying that for an hour or so.

If you're here any longer,

I guess I'll have to ask you to lock up.

Just ten more minutes.

Please hurry.

I will. Thank you.

(Nont)

(Nont)

Hello?

Hello, Ing?

I'm sorry for calling you so late.

I want to discuss something with you.

Are you free to talk?

I was actually dreaming about you, Mr. Nont.

I dreamed we went to the SET together,

and we were about to

catch the one that keeps skyrocketing.

But no one batted an eye. It was so strange.

It must be tiring to work in marketing.

You even dream about stocks.

By the way, stop calling me "Mister" already.

"Nont" is enough.

Like when we worked together.

Sorry. It's a force of habit.

It's the higher-ups

who usually come to discuss stocks with me.

I see.

I guess I got the top person from marketing

to be my broker.

Oh, not really.

By the way,

what's on your mind? Tell me.

The thing is I'm holding the shares for PDT right now.

But the price keeps dropping.

What should I do?

Stop-loss.

Or you'll be "stuck on the summit".

What?

It's slang within the stock trading circle.

Stop the loss.

You probably know it anyway.

It's a way

to stop the loss

before it's gone too far.

The stock price has plummeted,

and it's not worth selling.

You can only wait and hope the price might go up.

It's the same as being stuck on the summit.

More importantly,

the temperature

is sub-zero up there, you know?

I see.

I've been going through trials and errors.

I'm lucky to have you helping me.

Well,

actually,

I have my eyes on

the stock you asked me about as well.

I think...

you should...

get yourself out for now.

Because I heard from the inner circle

that it's not doing well.

How much time do I have?

Not much.

The sooner you decide, the better.

I'll try and find

new stocks for you to check out.

Okay.

I'll check again tomorrow.

Anyway, sorry for bothering you so late.

It's totally fine.

I have to be tough as part of the marketing team.

I'm only asking for...

A huge commission.

And maybe

you can treat me to a meal. That's all I'm asking for.

Some old-timer at the stock market might club me in the head.

Anyway, thank you.

No problem.

Bye.

Hello?

Where are you now, Nont?

I... I'm almost there.

Hurry up. There's a meeting.

Okay, of course.

What...

What's up with you?

What are you playing at, Faifu? I'm in a hurry.

I wasn't playing.

You woke up late and are blaming it on me.

Faifu, you're a grown-up now.

Stop fooling around like a little kid already.

- I said I wasn't! - Stop talking back.

- What's happened? - Shut up!

- What's going on, you two? - You bumped into me!

That's enough.

It's only morning.

- Well, it's Nont's fault. - My goodness.

Nont, are you going to eat something?

I cooked early this morning. It's completely cold now.

No time, Mom. I'm already very late.

Why didn't you wake me up?

What time did you finish last night? I didn't want to disturb you.

Do you want to eat something? I'll cook it for you.

I said I'm not eating!

Nont.

I'm sorry, Mom.

I have to go.

What's the matter with him lately?

That scrooge.

He seems pretty grumpy.

He's probably stressed about work.

Leave him be.

But I think he's having a mid-life crisis.

How many times have you been late this month?

- I... - Three times.

It's true

that you're very hard-working

to the point even the security guard complains.

He said if he doesn't kick you out,

you'd be staying the night here.

The higher-ups have been singing your praises.

You finished your week-long assignment

within a few days.

It's like you wanted to

spend your time on something else afterward.

Even though

someone is an excellent worker,

it doesn't mean

they can do whatever they want.

Don't you agree?

- But I... - I want to see you doing something

rather than making up excuses.

I'm sorry.

- You should get back to work. - Yes, sir.

And he'll probably say I'm going too fast.

- Ing. - Yes?

- Are you free? - Yes.

I need to discuss something with you.

- What is it? - The stock we talked about.

PTT's.

The price's been plummeting quite a lot.

What should I do?

Have you tried gradually selling it?

Excuse me.

Is something the matter, Fern?

- Nont, I... - I'll call you back later.

I'm discussing work right now.

Go on, Ing.

I've lost nearly half my investment.

If I had believed you in the first place

and agreed to stop my loss, I wouldn't be in this mess.

Actually, I've got some insider news

about this particular stock.

Someone's selling their shares to manipulate the price.

But another source said

if you hang onto it a little bit longer,

it's going to bounce back with a massive return.

What should I do?

I think...

Go on.

- If you're going to sell all of it, - Yes.

I think

you have to make a decision.

But if I sell it now,

I'm going to take a huge loss. I can't let that happen.

I guess you have to bear the brunt.

If you keep holding on to it and the price goes down again,

will you be able to handle it?

You can't possibly know when it's going to bounce back, can you?

Or if you want to buy more of the same one,

we don't know when it will go back up. It might go down again.

Is there no other way?

I reckon...

I'll be right back, Ing. Thanks.

Why didn't you tell me you were coming?

I need to tell you something.

Is it that important? Is that why you keep calling me?

Do you know how much money I've lost?

Nont, I'm sorry...

for making you lose money.

I just...

- I just... - What?

I just came to tell you about Dad.

Well...

What's wrong with him?

He had a stroke.

So I tried to call you.

I wanted to tell you.

How is he doing now?

Which hospital is he at? Has he gotten any better?

Fern?

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad's gone, Nont.

He's dead.

Even though

he never said it explicitly,

I know he loved you like a son.

So I called you right away

in case you might...

I'm sorry...

for wasting your time.

But it's probably the last time

I'll bother you again.

Are you doing okay, Fern?

You look tired.

I'm feeling better now.

Thanks, guys.

I've talked to Nont.

He'll probably be here soon.

And when will that be?

It's almost time for prayers.

Forget him.

I already told him.

It's up to him whether he comes or not.

Well, there are a lot of people here.

I remember that one time we went to your house,

- it was packed. - They're not Dad's friends.

- They're his debtors. - What?

They're probably worried Mom might refuse to pay them.

Have these people been threatening you and your mom?

She's probably feeling quite uncomfortable.

What else can we do?

We're in debt, so we have to pay it off.

Anyway, let's talk later.

All right.

Kluay, you moron.

Why was my timing so bad?

Your timing has always been so bad.

- Where are you going? - Are we sitting here?

Just go and sit outside. You annoy me.

I was trying to lighten the mood.

Are you okay?

I just came out for some fresh air.

Don't mind Kluay.

He doesn't think before he speaks.

I didn't mind him.

Don't worry.

The guys and I will come and help you again tomorrow.

Okay.

Don't expect this to simply end

if you refuse to pay.

You'll never live in peace again.

What's going on over there?

Legally,

what you're doing right now is considered a threat,

and you're showing malice.

You're a cheeky one, aren't you?

You seem young.

Do you think you can do anything to us?

If you put it that way, that's libel.

It could also be considered slander.

That's good. That's a lot of charges.

That's right. My friend is a lawyer.

So bring your lawyer to talk.

You little!

Darn it!

Aren't you going to stay for dessert, Grandpa?

Hey.

What happened?

You missed everything.

Win kicked those old-timers out using the law.

"You're threatening me."

"Section 7, paragraph 2(8)."

- Really? - He was so cool.

I was wondering why they were running away.

- Win did a good job. - Right.

- He kept clapping back at them. - Really?

Their tails were tucked between their legs.

Thanks so much

for always helping me.

Don't overthink it. We're friends.

- It's nothing. - Gosh,

you're all talk but no action.

But from now on,

you won't have to keep helping me anymore.

All this time,

you've always been so good to me.

Ever since Dad passed away,

you've been helping me with everything.

And now with this too.

Even tonight,

you guys had to keep looking out for me.

I feel embarrassed

and pathetic.

My dad's gone.

You guys can't keep helping me forever.

Thanks so much.

I'm sorry, friends.

Your guys' timing is just as bad as mine.

Can you please shut up?

(Arthit Siriratprapa)

It's the final day of the funeral,

and Nont didn't even show up.

Sometimes I don't understand

why people become more difficult to understand

the older we get.

Have you finished packing?

That's Nont.

I think both of you

should talk it out.

I'm sorry...

about your dad, Fern.

I know

you're probably very angry with me.

Is that all you wanted to say?

I'm exhausted.

I should get back inside.

What...

should I do?

You don't have to do anything, Nont.

Because the things you should've done

have all passed you by.

Oh, by the looks of things,

you can't eat or sleep.

You're agitated, and your liver's dying.

You have indigestion, loss of taste, and a stomach ulcer.

You have a brittle tongue, and cysts in your colon.

You have bad breath.

You've been vomiting day and night.

I was only joking. Don't be so serious.

You guys look stressed.

Let me know if you want to order anything else.

What's wrong?

You look like a kicked puppy.

Cheer up a little.

How can I?

It's only you and me again.

It's like life holds a grudge against me.

Come on. Hurry up and get drinking

so we can get drunk.

What's the rush?

What do you know, Mr. Lawyer?

Your girlfriend is a saint.

Unlike...

Unlike what?

Gosh.

She's omnipresent too!

I haven't even mentioned her name.

She's definitely magical.

I'll teach her a lesson.

Hello, darling.

What happened to the lesson?

Cut it out.

Where are you? What are you doing?

I'm having some food with Win.

More like drinking.

Oh, what about Nont?

Is he with you too?

It's just me and Win.

It's boring. What do you want with Nont?

So where is he? He wouldn't answer my calls.

Does he know Fern's going to the US?

Fern's going to the US?

Come pick me up now.

- What's wrong? - Fern's going to the US.

Hello?

Is that you, Faifu?

- Yes. - It's me, Kluay.

Oh. Hi, Kluay.

Is Nont home?

Well, no.

Do you know where he is?

I don't.

All right. When he gets back or if you find out where he is,

tell him to call me, okay?

Sure.

Thanks.

Bye.

- So? - I don't know.

His family doesn't even know where he is.

What about Nut?

She doesn't know either.

She called his workplace.

The security guard told her he left already.

But I think there's one place I'm sure we'll find him.

Okay, let's go there.

We'll pick Nut up first.

All right. Let's go.

Hey!

Kluay! Win!

What about the payment for the beer?

Put it on my tab! We're in a hurry!

Come on.

Always in a hurry.

Kluay played me again.

What? Kluay!

You drove right past me.

- How come you just arrived? - Just hurry up and get in.

Get going, or we'll be late.

- Go! - I know.

- Step on it. - I know.

Hey! What are you doing right there?

We've been looking all over the place for you!

(For Sale)

Why are you doing this?

It's no use. You know that.

Come on. Get up.

You guys should just leave me alone.

Get up, or we'll be late!

What if I tell you Fern's leaving for the US,

will that get you going?

- What if... - What if...

What if...

you've found a very special job.

And you really want to do it.

But you have to

- be somewhere else, very far away. - Okay.

Far from everyone.

And far from

the people you love too.

Okay.

Would you accept the offer?

I guess it's actually true then.

What are you mumbling about?

We're going to Don Mueang.

At least you'll get to say your goodbyes.

She wouldn't talk to me even if go.

- What's wrong with you? Get up! - Kluay!

- What's wrong? - Kluay!

If she's not your girlfriend, she's still a friend!

- Her dad died but you never showed! - Hey, Kluay! Enough!

How can you do this to your friend?

You jerk!

Listen to me.

He went to Fern's dad's funeral every day.

Why didn't you go inside?

Do you know how disappointed Fern was?

During such times,

shouldn't you be there taking care of her?

Do you think I didn't want to?

I couldn't dare to face Fern.

Do you know?

I tried so hard

to make myself good enough for her.

I want her to live comfortably.

But I only cared about my own goal

because of my stupid pride.

I left Fern to deal with bad things on her own.

I abandoned her.

I disappointed her.

I've wronged her.

I didn't have the courage to face her dad.

I'm sorry, sir.

Nont, I...

I have a lump sum.

The very last one.

It's not enough to pay the debts.

And it's not enough

to invest in something either.

I need you to help me.

Take this money

and invest it in the stock market.

I think it's too risky to invest right now.

This house will be seized soon.

There's no other way.

Please help me.

I don't want to lose it.

I want to keep it for Fern.

Nont, I believe you can do it.

You did it before.

You have to help me.

I'm going to save this house.

I promise.

I'm calling to discuss

the stock you recommended to me.

I can only postpone my debts

for two days, until the day after tomorrow.

I've checked the stock market.

It's...

It's bad, Nont.

I'm sorry. Actually,

I want to ask you

if I should just sell it.

Stop-loss.

Or you'll be "stuck on the summit".

How much time do I have?

Not much.

The sooner you decide, the better.

But it's a huge loss.

There... there won't be anything left.

There's almost no chance of a return.

I want it to be, at least, hopeful.

Are you sure, Nont?

Nont, it's me.

I've been trying to get a hold of you.

I guess...

you're probably busy.

This client

is very important to me.

- Can I talk to him? - So I decided to leave you

a voice message.

I'm calling to tell you...

To tell you that I...

I have nothing left now.

I didn't sell that stock.

I'm sorry, sir.

I'll be okay.

Thank you...

very much.

You finished your week-long assignment

within a few days.

It's like you wanted to

spend your time on something else afterward.

Is it that important? Is that why you keep calling me?

Do you know how much money I've lost?

I made him a promise, and I couldn't keep it.

I'm a loser.

Everything's ruined.

I'm sorry, sir.

Everything's over.

Forget about other things for now.

There's no time left, Nont.

We have to go.

Come on!

Nont,

Fern's about to leave for the US!

You have to see her off!

Nont,

she's not coming back anymore!

What about...

your stupid pride?

You're going to regret it for the rest of your life.

Hey.

- What about him? - Whatever.

Let's go, Nut.

At least...

you'll get to see Fern's face one last time.

- Kluay! - Seriously, Kluay!

How can I call Fern with you driving like this.

How are we going to make it in time if I don't?

But if you keep driving like this,

we'll be throwing up before we get to Don Mueang.

What's wrong?

You're worried you won't get to see Fern, aren't you?

- Hey, Nut. - What?

Can you call her?

Oh, just a second, Mom.

What's up?

Hello? Fern?

You haven't boarded, have you?

Not yet.

When's your boarding time?

Wait for a bit, okay? I'm on the way.

We're almost there.

I have to go to my gate soon.

Who are you with?

I'm with Kluay, Win, and...

Nont.

Fern,

please wait for us.

How can I do that?

Do you want me and Mom to miss our flight?

Yes,

I know that.

But we won't get to see each other anymore, Fern.

At least...

we want to see you off

and say our goodbyes.

I still have to go anyway.

Why should I give my time to someone who doesn't value it?

Nut,

take good care of yourself.

I'll send you postcards.

And I'll have New York–style pizza on your behalf.

Love you.

Hello?

Fern?

Fern?

Let's go.

She hung up.

She said...

she's about to board and that we're probably too late.

Hey, we're almost there.

I can see Don Mueang now.

What?

What's all this traffic?

It's a gridlock.

What should we do?

I don't think we'll make it.

The traffic's really bad.

Does Fern know Nont's coming?

She does.

I already told her.

She knows but refuses to wait?

Do you think she's going to wait?

- I don't think so. - Agreed.

Shut up, both of you.

What are you going to do?

Nont?

- Nont? Nont? - Hey!

- Nont! - Nont!

Nont!

That's it, my friend!

Get there in time!

The traffic hasn't even budged since then.

Can I see your boarding passes, please?

Thank you.

This way, please.

Fern!

Fern!

- Can I see... - Fern!

You can't go in there, sir.

- This is a restricted area. - I won't be long.

- I'm afraid you can't go in there. - Fern!

- You can't go in there. - I won't be long.

- Fern! - No, sir.

Fern!

Fern, I'm sorry!

Fern!

- Fern! - You can't go in there, sir.

Fern!

Fern!

It's not bad at all.

It seems clean.

Oh, Mom.

I plan to go out and discuss work with my contact tomorrow.

Are you okay with being alone?

I'll manage. Don't worry.

Oh, I don't need it.

- I... - The coffee's free

no matter what you order.

- Thank you. - No worries.

It's my first day, and I already embarrassed myself.
