Nont!

They're postcards from Fern.

One of them has her number on it.

Try contacting her.

Don't tell me you still haven't called Fern.

I must have called her a hundred times.

But she wouldn't answer.

Have you tried again?

Fern?

- Darn it. - Hey.

I'm sorry for wasting your time.

But I'm going to take good care of Fern's house.

How come Fern's house is getting turned into a condo?

But that's not possible. I already got the deal.

Since you can't keep your word,

do you remember our discussion?

You might want to step up your game.

Or you'll lose before it gets started.

Nont?

Nont?

How come you're sleeping here?

It's time to get up.

Fern?

There is always hope

if you haven't given up.

Trust me.

Oh?

Hey, Nont.

Hey, let's go. I'm hungry.

Come on.

Thank you.

All right. Bring it on.

Why were you looking at that abandoned building just now?

I just remembered the story Fern's dad told me.

Didn't you see what I saw?

Hey, give me a hand.

What did you see?

Well, do you know

everything in the abandoned building I looked at

can be converted into money?

Didn't you see?

If it's wood from the door and window frames or steel scraps,

then it can be sold for some money.

That's right.

Do you guys want to sell old things?

It's not just that.

The ground you're standing on can also be sold.

It's like you're standing on money without even realizing it.

I only saw dog poop just now.

How can that be money?

You can just bring it down

and sell the concrete scraps to be used to fill up a piece of land.

It's not just that.

Think about it.

There's copper.

There's steel.

There are concrete scraps.

How much do you think we'll get

if we sell them?

Are you going to start a demolition business?

I'll do it for free.

Is it going to be worth it?

How much can you actually earn from one building?

Of course, it's going to be worth it.

Think about it.

How many of these abandoned buildings are waiting

to get demolished in Bangkok?

Actually, no.

The whole country.

I think you've gone crazy.

But I think it's possible.

That's interesting.

Mm.

Where did you come up with this idea?

Is this a factory?

Mm.

It's my friend's.

They sell a lot of products at reasonable prices.

So I became their regular customer.

Are these things usable?

I thought they should be stronger.

They look...

extremely old.

Old stuff like this

can be processed and reused.

Steel can be melted.

- I see. - Wood can be sanded.

It becomes even more beautiful and stronger than wood nowadays.

The construction business requires a lot of materials.

Many things must be repurposed,

such as steel, brass, copper, aluminum,

and so on.

Because if we keep using new things,

the world will run out of raw materials.

Oh, I see.

Wow, there's a lot left.

Hello, Arthit.

Oh, hello.

What brings you here? Or are you here to drink?

- That is also a must. - Oh?

But I came today

to look at my order.

We might have to wait for certain items.

Oh, not again.

By the way, are you discussing work?

We were discussing your factory.

This is my daughter's boyfriend.

- Hello. - Hello.

Gee,

did you just introduce me to your son-in-law?

Hey. They're not married yet.

Let's go inside and chat.

- Come on. - All right.

Nont, if you're interested in the matter,

you can talk to him.

He knows a lot about it.

- Come on. Take it with you too. - Yes, sir.

- Let's go. - Come on in.

Fern's dad taught me a lot of things.

I want to start a business

because of him

and Ou.

That friend of yours that offed himself?

Shoot, I'm sorry.

I couldn't stop my tongue from wagging.

Mm.

Anyway,

my teachers have all passed away.

I guess I have to do everything

on my own now.

But I think

your project is going to need a lot of startup capital.

Actually,

I do have some money in savings

and some stocks I haven't sold.

And if I sell them now,

then we'll have another lump sum.

But we can't go overboard.

We have to rent the equipment

or big types of machinery,

such as a digger

or a trailer truck,

for the time being.

You know some people,

don't you?

And who's going to hold a hammer and knock down the building for you?

Not us. Look at my size.

Come on.

I'm not going to use you for hard labor.

I already have something in mind for you.

And you too.

But first of all,

we need a talented and reliable team.

And we have to take it slow.

We'll hire day laborers first.

Have you heard of Kip Mu Street?

They say

there are skilled workers

who are waiting to be hired for the day.

We only have to see how they work

and pick out the skilled ones.

Things should settle down not long after.

Did you just say you wanted us to help?

No,

I just want you guys to partner with me.

I was selling houses,

now you're asking if I want to get into building demolition instead.

What can I even help you with?

Come on. Just know you can.

Weren't you listening to what I said?

- Sandwiches. - Huh?

- Would you like some sandwiches? - Isn't that Sira?

The entrepreneur who was declared bankrupt in 1997?

You're right.

They say his debt is in the billions.

Billions?

Keep it down.

And now he's selling sandwiches?

That's right. He's such a fighter.

Is he earning enough to pay off his debt?

I don't know.

But Fern's dad once told me

life has its ups and downs.

It's up to us whether we give up or not.

Whoa.

We should support him.

Would you like some sandwiches?

Yes, please. I'll have three.

Of course.

The three of us

are about to start a business.

Oh.

That's great.

- He's being chatty again. - I know.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Can you wish me luck?

Hang in there.

I'll root for you.

Thank you.

Here.

What did you brag to him about?

Right.

I told him

we're about to start a business.

So he wished me luck.

"Keep fighting, young man."

Will we even be half the fighter he is?

One question.

Are we going to do this or not?

Did you just trick us into knocking down buildings with a hammer?

No.

Are you in? Are you?

Are you?

All right, if you say so.

I'm in, obviously.

What's with you guys?

- Fight! - Fight!

Really. How old are we now?

And we're still acting like children.

My relative owns this storage unit.

But he's not using it anymore.

It has water and electricity.

Are you sure?

Of course.

I'll open it for you.

Are you sure it belongs to your relative?

Yes, the key just doesn't fit that well.

Kluay.

Huh?

What's next?

Go on. Lead the way.

I think this spot

is the best.

Come on. Let's get cracking.

Let's go.

Clean up the place.

Are we going to use only this area?

Over there.

Okay.

Is it okay?

There.

Hey, those two over there.

Win, why aren't you helping us haul these things?

You're only sweeping the floor.

Oh? If no one sweeps the floor,

how are you going to put down the desks?

Well, he's got a point.

All right. Let's keep hauling.

- Okay. - Here, here, here.

- On the right. - Leave this one here.

- It's heavy. Just a second. - Put this here.

Bring it over.

Whoa, this is cool.

- Okay. - Good.

Okay.

So what's next?

We'll split up the tasks.

Ugh.

Split what tasks now, Mr. President?

Look at the state of me.

Even breathing is tiring right now.

Do you have work

that requires brainpower instead?

Put the right job to the right man.

Do you understand the expression?

Sure.

I'll give you a job that's tailored to your degree.

What?

Kluay, have you forgotten

you graduated with an engineering degree?

Don't you have to make calculations

to estimate the time it'll take

and assess safety

if you want to demolish a building?

Whoa,

that's my dream job.

And I'll deal with legal matters,

contact the district office

and coordinate with nearby areas,

such as the neighborhood, before starting demolition.

Exactly.

And you have to handle everything

that's related to the law.

So? Can you visualize your job now?

- Very clearly. - Mm.

I'm so on fire right now. I really want to work.

- Good. - So?

What's my first task?

Your first task

is to use your sharp eyesight

and make a swift attack.

(Nont and Co Demolition Service, Free On-Site Inspection)

(Private Area)

Don't you smile.

What's next?

Well...

Nothing for now.

Just wait for a phone call.

I don't think anyone's going to call anytime soon.

Hey, someone will. Trust me.

Whoa.

Hello?

That's right.

Yes.

Okay.

Yes, my apologies.

- Who was that? - Right.

It's the police station.

They told us to go and pay the fines

for putting up a sign without a permit.

Ugh.

Forget it.

I expected this would happen.

But trust me.

A client will call eventually.

Trust me.

Just wait for a bit.

Hey, don't you dare.

Stop.

You're bad luck.

Leave it to me.

Hello? We're N.W.K.

Nont and Co Demolition Service.

Really?

A lot?

That was me.

I did it all alone.

Mm.

We've been waiting.

I miss you too.

Drop by and see me at the office sometime.

I don't think that's a customer.

No.

That must be Nut.

What are you smiling about?

Why didn't you tell Nut to call your mobile phone?

Don't be nosy!

Yes.

I'm a little tired.

But I still have to work.

That's right.

It's nothing.

I was just talking to the guys.

Mm.

I'm hungry too.

Okay.

Kluay, you moron.

Go and take a poop.

Aren't you going to wait anymore?

Wait, my butt.

It was only a fart.

Ugh.

I think we should just go.

No one's going to call.

All right. You two can go ahead.

I'll stay for a little while longer.

Can you grab my backpack?

We'll be going now.

See you.

Hello?

We're Nont and Co Demolition Service.

Hello?

You said you're offering free demolition service.

Is that true?

It is.

And where is the building?

Sure. Okay.

Lift the right up a bit more.

It's your side, Kluay.

- Lift it up. Yes. - Me?

- What? - Move a little to the left.

- Left? - Left. Okay.

This is where it was before.

I think it's okay now.

N.M.K. Company Limited.

I think soon we can list it on the stick market.

- Stock. - Stock Market.

I'll go and buy some fruit.

Hey,

Kluay's back.

Do you want to come along?

Kluay,

let's go.

Where?

To another place.

Come on. I just got back.

I still haven't eaten either.

Come on. You can eat in the car.

The client's waiting.

Don't forget to put on your helmet.

Okay. Thanks, guys.

Bye. See you tomorrow.

See you. Bye.

Good night, guys.

- Good night. - Good night.

Ugh.

Are you tired?

The place was crowded today.

Oh gosh.

It's going to

be freezing tonight.

I don't feel like going home.

Me neither.

Fern.

Will you make me the happiest guy

and marry me?

What are you doing?

I feel so awkward.

It's not difficult.

Just think about it and let me know.

Yes.

Or no.

Or yes.

But we're not dating.

How can I give you an answer?

I understand.

For me,

I want to live my life with you,

and I want us to start a lovely family together.

I've never felt this way toward anyone before.

And I've thought about it carefully.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have the courage to do this.

Fern,

please marry me.

You...

It's okay if you're not ready to decide.

Let's do it this way.

Keep this ring.

And I'll wait for your answer.

Thank you.

No problem.

Well then.

You should take a break.

I'll help you close the shop.

Oh, Nont?

Are you about to go home?

Yes, sir.

I've been chatting to Fern for a while now.

You seemed busy, so I didn't want to disturb you.

Oh.

And how are you getting home?

Should we do it this way? I'm about to head out.

I'll give you a lift.

It's okay, sir. I'll catch a cab.

I don't want to bother you.

Hey, it's not a bother at all.

Let me give you a lift.

I want to talk to you about something as well.

Come on.

- Get in the car. - Thank you.

Nont, can I ask you something?

Yes?

Are you and Fern dating?

Well...

Well, I...

- I... - I'm not going to tell you off.

It's just a question.

That's right, sir.

But I still haven't had the chance to tell you.

Well then.

Can I have your permission

to go out with her?

There's no need to be that nervous.

There's nothing wrong with you two going out.

Will you answer me

if I ask you something?

There's something

business and love have in common.

What is it?

I'm...

not sure, sir.

Business and love

are both risky.

If you decide to go out with Fern,

as time goes by

and everything doesn't go as you'd hoped or thought,

if love can't go on,

and friendship can't be like how it used to be.

What do you think about this?

I don't know either.

But there's one thing I do know.

What's that?

I know I love Fern.

Dad.

Huh? What?

This is an antique.

It took a while until the owner agreed to sell it to me.

Don't act like it's nothing, Dad.

I saw it.

You drove out with Nont.

Where did you go?

It was nothing. Well,

I just wanted to test the person

who's trying to win my daughter's heart. That's all.

The thing is, I've known for a while now,

ever since he called and claimed he was DJ something.

I realized this guy is definitely up to something.

Dad.

And...

All right. I'll tell you.

Nont asked for my permission

to go out with you.

And...

how was it?

How was what?

The test.

How was it?

Oh.

I guess this is a follow-up.

All right. I'll tell you.

I asked him

how things would be

if both of you ended up being incompatible

after you decided to go out.

And he replied...

No matter what happens,

I'm going to take good care of Fern.

Regardless of our relationship status,

I'll never abandon her.

I'll consider this a promise.

Yes, sir.

Sometimes I feel

like I see my younger self in him.

- Why is that? - Well, even though

I used to be a lot more handsome than he is...

Dad, this is serious.

Why?

Actually, after our conversation,

I'd prefer it if both of you

just stay friends.

Why?

Because he and I are too alike.

I know.

I'm the kind of person who won't give up easily.

I'm the kind of person who won't change easily.

I'm prideful

and unwilling to adapt after a downfall.

I will keep fighting no matter what the cost.

You might get hurt

being with

this kind of person.

Can you accept that?

Here's some warm milk.

Thanks, Mom.

What are you thinking about?

Wilson wants an answer from me.

And what did you say to him?

The day your father proposed to me,

that day was supposed to be the happiest day in my life.

Because I'd always dreamed

of being married.

I wanted to wear a beautiful wedding dress.

But the moment

your father proposed to me,

I felt confused.

I wasn't sure at all

if it was

the right or the wrong decision

because it was going to last my whole life.

But in the end,

I made up my mind

because when I looked at him,

I felt...

that I didn't need anyone else in my life.

Except him.

And he

had proven to me

that my decision

was right.

You have to make your own decision.

Fern?

Are you still there?

Mm.

I said I'm okay.

Kluay and Win are also doing okay.

What about Nont? How has he been?

I thought

you wouldn't ask about him again.

Why wouldn't I?

Because previously,

you acted like you were trying to avoid discussing anything about him.

Aren't you tired of that?

I wasn't avoiding him.

He called you countless times,

but you wouldn't answer.

Fern,

do you know he's been constantly

stopping by your house

in case there's a letter

or someone

who might know your address?

And what do you want me to do?

You don't have to give him a chance, Fern.

Do you know why

I decided to go out with Kluay?

Everyone probably thought

I gave him a chance.

But in reality,

I gave myself a chance.

He might seem like he's always fooling around.

But when it comes to other things, he's a good guy.

Very good, actually.

I'm the one

with the bad habits.

Life is short, Fern.

If we get to follow our heart

when we're still alive,

whether the outcome is good or bad,

at least it's better than doing nothing, isn't it?

So you

should give yourself a chance sometimes.

And don't ever disappear like that again,

you know.

Mm.

I'll call you again, okay?

Mm.

Tell your mom I miss her

and tell her to take care of herself too.

I love you, Fern.

Mm.

Who were you talking to?

It was Mom.

Is something the matter?

No.

Hello, Wilson.

Where are you?

I'm about to head back to the office.

I'm heading there as well.

I need to talk to you.

I should be there in 20 minutes.

By the way,

what do you want to talk to me about?

Is it about the answer I've been waiting for?

I'll tell you when we meet, okay?

Sure.

I'll see you later.

- Hi, Fern. - Hi, Tom.

Hi, Fern.

- Hi. Good morning. - Good morning.

Hello?

Is this Nont's house?

Are you Faifu?

Yes, this is she.

It's Fern.

Fern?

Hold on for a second, okay?

Mom, Fern's calling.

Oh, then go and tell your brother.

Why did you come and tell me? Go on, go.

Hurry up.

Nont,

you've got a phone call.

Okay, I'll be down in a second.

Hurry up and come down.

Who's calling?

I don't know.

But I know you'll regret it

if she hangs up

before you answer.

Hello?

Nont.

It's me, Fern.

Fern?

Is that really you?

Nut told me

you've been trying to reach me.

Is something the matter?

Uh...

Well...

How have you been?

Are you doing okay?

I'm fine.

What about you?

How are you doing?

I'm...

I'm doing okay.

Fern.

Well...

I've been wanting to tell you something for a long time.

I...

What is that?

Look to the right.

Look over there.

Oh my gosh. Stop. Look there.

- Nont? - Fern?

Hello?

Fern?

Is something wrong, Fern?

A plane has crashed right into the World Trade Center.

You can see the smoke and the flames

coming out of the shattered windows.

At the World Trade Center, of course,

in New York's Financial District,

Twin Towers was the target.

- Oh my goodness. - Oh gosh.

- There's another one. - Oh?

Oh my goodness. There's another one.

Oh no. Okay.

And explosions, multiple explosions.

Ladies and gentlemen, we just saw another explosion.

Another explosion at Tower No. 2

of the World Trade Center

- just happened live on our air. - Thousands, ten of thousands

of people actually work inside those two buildings

in the heart of New York's Financial District.

And we're looking at live pictures right now

from one of the television stations...

Fern?

(The World Trade Center Collapses)

What's happening?

Airplane crashed.

Airplane crashed.

Airplane crashed.

- What building is that? - World Trade Center.

World Trade Center?

World Trade Center. Dangerous.

I just talked to Fern yesterday.

She said she was heading to that building.

Fern!

(Missing Thai Citizens)

(Roongrawee Siriratprapa)

Fern!

Tui.

- Hi. - Hi.

Hey.

That's good.

Take it from me and look after your friend, okay?

This is very worrying.

- Thanks, Tui. - Sure. No problem.

Here. Take care of him.

I'll check the back of the store.

What's up?

You're out drinking alone. Why didn't you invite us?

Are you doing okay?

Right?

We're very worried about you, Nont.

I didn't expect that kind of thing would happen.

- I think Fern... - Hey.

Let's drink.

How is watching me drink alone fun?

Ting,

get me three glasses.

Sure. Just a second.

Here you are.

It's time for the news that's on everyone's mind.

Even though it's been a week

since the tragedy at the World Trade Center,

the death toll keeps rising,

so does the number of missing persons.

All eyes are on this tragedy.

All personnel are on hand searching for survivors.

It is considered one of the greatest losses in the history of the world.

Do you remember

the fire at Lido Theater?

Fern told me

not to worry

because she's good at surviving.

I still haven't forgotten about that.

And that's what I'm going to believe.

Because I'm still hopeful.

Hope is always there.

Are these people Fern's friends in Thailand?

That's right.

- This is Kluay, and this is Win. - I see.

- This is Nut. - I see.

And the one next to Fern is Nont.

Nont?

That's right.

Someone contacted me

that he was interested in buying the house in Bangkok.

Hello, Mr. Arnont.

I'm sorry, but that house you want

is not for sale.

What's all the fuss over a dead woman's house?

Hey.
