Now, for the final question,

why do you think we should hire you?

Um...

All right!

Tomorrow,

I'm taking everyone on a company outing! Good?

Yes! That's great!

Seriously?

That's great!

Uh...

Because...

(Garden House Near Bangkok)

Here we are, everyone.

Wow!

- Let's go! - After you, Auntie Penn.

All right.

Wow!

Whoa!

Wow! How come

it's so beautiful?

Oh dear!

- It's massive! - Massive!

Let's go inside.

How do I drag this?

- Come on. - Yod...

This is great, Yod!

This place probably

- costs thousands a night. - I think so too!

Did you actually shell out for this?

For everyone's sake, this is nothing.

One,

two, three!

There we go.

Come on, Boss. One, two, three!

There.

Don't you know you don't have to shake the photo?

- Oh? - There's no need.

Oh?

- Really? - Mm.

- Hello! - Hello.

- Hello! - Hello! Hello!

Welcome!

- Hello! Hello! - Here's some water!

- Thank you. - Please drink some water.

Here.

- Thank you. - I'm Chom, the owner here.

This is Nedkamol, my daughter-in-law-to-be.

- Hello. Hello. - Hello.

Yod,

I've closed the homestay just for you.

That way, it will be easy for you to look for it.

Thank you very much.

- Huh? - Huh?

- Excuse me? - What?

- Look for... - What did I just hear?

Look for...

Look for what?

Was that a joke?

No, it wasn't.

This is our company's first outing.

Return Man. No worries. We'll get it back.

So, the activity I'm organizing today

is slightly in line with our company's policy.

And the name of the activity

is "Search for the Lost Ring"!

Work?

Work, as always?

We're playing a game, Auntie.

Well, this is infuriating. Let's go.

- Come on. - We're playing a game.

Which room are we staying?

Feel free to pick any of them.

Why?

We're playing a game. It's going to be fun.

Why do you look upset?

I brought you guys to stay here for free and you...

Yod,

do we look like Gollum to you?

Is that why we have to find our precious?

Buay, no. We're on vacation.

What vacation?

It's just a little game.

- No, I'm not playing! - Hey!

This sapphire and diamond ring belongs to our family.

It's been handed down from generation to generation.

It's important to me

because I've been meaning to have my son

put it on Ned's finger

when they get married in two days.

When did you last see it?

I held an event here three months ago.

But the thing is.

I drank too much and walked around the garden.

I walked all over the place

and showed the guests around.

When I came back to get ready for bed,

I couldn't find it. There's only an empty box.

Maybe a guest

could've stolen it that day?

Oh, we've never had a history of our guests committing theft.

I don't think that's possible.

What if it wasn't a guest?

Uh...

If you're talking about insiders, then that's not the case.

We've searched everyone's bedroom but didn't find the ring.

All right, guys! Let's get going!

Let's do the job we love!

Oh, okay.

- Don't worry. - Oh.

- Come on, Prib. Get up. - That's very assuring to hear.

Go on, Ned. Escort them to the right places to look.

- Okay. - Give them some advice.

- You can start in this area. - Watch your step, Prib.

Here are the vegetable patches.

And the coconut plantation's over there.

And over here are the rotating crops.

Wow, Yod.

What if Chom got hyped and climbed a tree that night?

Does that mean we'll have to climb every tree too?

I don't think she would've.

Ned, is there a spot you'd like us to look at specifically?

We might be able to narrow down the search area.

No,

nothing in particular.

Please help.

All right, everyone.

We'll split up and look for the ring.

Buay, you go to the rotating crop patches.

Auntie Penn, you handle the coconut plantation.

Prib, provide support to the other two.

Double-check everything too.

And I'll cover the entire area.

By the way, you know how to use this thing, don't you?

- Indeed. - Sir! Yes, sir!

All right. Get to work.

Oh? I thought you said we're playing a game.

Well then. Please go, Mr. Buay.

- Thank you. - Okay, okay.

Come on.

- Boss. - Hm?

Can I ask you something?

Why? You don't know how to use it?

It's super easy.

Just turn the detector on.

If it detects metal, it'll beep. Here.

It's a piece of cake. Go on.

It's not about that. Well...

Go on, Prib. The ring will be difficult to find if it gets dark.

Go on, now.

Okay then.

Where is it?

Oh, Prib?

Are you done searching over there?

- Buay. - Hm?

Can I ask you something?

Mm. What's up?

Why did you decide to work at Return Man?

Oh.

I had some free time

and nothing else to do. So I started working at Return Man to kill time.

Hey, be serious. I'm really curious.

- You're really curious? - Mm.

Around three years ago,

I hired Yod to retrieve something dear to me.

Whoa!

You really got it back!

Keep it safe.

At the time, I was a weirdo. No one wanted to be friends with me.

- It's very fun. Because... - All right. I said that's enough.

But you left early. So who's going to finish it?

The other night...

You left early.

That was so soon.

It's gone.

It hasn't melted yet.

- Hey, hey, hey! - You guys.

How are you doing? Are you tired?

We'll have the same thing.

You were the one who took the clip, weren't you?

What clip are you talking about?

This one.

I was framed

for leaking a voyeur clip of the faculty star.

I didn't do it!

Everyone knows

a sicko like you did it.

I won't tell the cops then.

But your laptop

is full of clips of my girlfriend, isn't it?

I'm taking it with me.

Huh?

That's my laptop! Where are you taking it?

Hey!

That's my laptop!

I heard

there's a startup company for item retrieval.

So in the end, I hired Yod.

I'm sorry. I was the one who leaked Fah's clip.

Was that all right for you?

Mean it more than that.

I was the one who leaked the clip!

I'm sorry...

The guy who leaked the clip

was the one that beat you up.

They have it all figured out.

Secretly recording the girlfriend, leaking the clip, finding a goat,

then demanding compensation.

As for the laptop, they meant to sell it.

You did more than I asked you to.

I won't be able to afford the extras.

Pennueng.

Yes?

What's your nickname?

It's Buay.

Your first name means "first place" and your nickname's "last place"?

Who gave you those names?

My mom did. So they'll cancel each other out.

Your name is Pennueng.

So are you the first place

in computers as well?

After that,

Yod asked me to find someone.

I traded my skills in exchange for his help.

And I've been working here ever since.

Your life is so rad.

Come on, Prib.

Not at all if you compare it to Yod's.

And why did you

keep working here?

Hm...

"Safe zone."

I think that's probably the word for it.

What about you?

Hm?

Ugh, I thought it was the ring.

A cap.

We should hurry. It's getting dark.

- Come on. - Here. Take this too.

Thank you.

I'll check over there. You check over here.

- Auntie Penn. - Yes?

Can I ask you something?

Of course.

Why did you start working with Return Man?

Mm.

At the time, I was taking revenge against the mafia who murdered

my husband and child. Yod also came in to help me.

Then he offered me a job.

That's the story.

Huh? I didn't catch it. Can you repeat that?

Well,

at the time, I was taking revenge against the mafia who murdered

my husband and child.

Yod also came in

to help me.

Then he offered me a job.

That's how it went.

Auntie, I still couldn't hear a thing.

Let's do it this way. I'll ask you a different question.

What made you stay at the company?

Oh. Well, um...

Excuse me! Just a few seconds!

Well, Yod gave me a second life.

That's it. Just like that.

Oh.

Guys, sukiyaki time!

Oh, sukiyaki!

Let's go! Let's have sukiyaki, Prib!

- Hurry before it runs out! - Let's go!

I'm starving, Auntie.

We went through the whole garden.

Ma'am, you got something!

Oh.

- The special guest is... - Is the soup boiling?

Come on in.

- We've prepared it for you. - Thank you! Enjoy.

Wow.

Here. I'll play the clip at the company's New Year's party.

Do we even throw a New Year's party?

Of course. We'll throw one!

Are you going to stay with us until then?

We had an outing. There should be parties too.

The sukiyaki

isn't suitable for our company's status anymore.

Then what should we be eating, Auntie?

Omakase.

Please treat us to it monthly.

Come on, Auntie. That's easy.

Wow!

- You gave us your word! - Record it.

- Return Man! - Return Man!

We must find the ring!

Gollum!

- Buay! Buay! - Lord of the Rings!

- My precious! - Take it easy.

Buay, are you okay? Buay!

- Let's get going! - My precious!

- You took my precious! - Come on!

Now, for the final question,

why do you think we should hire you?

Uh...

Because...

Because I'm someone who doesn't give up easily.

And I really value the word "team".

Because I believe that a good job

stems from having a good team.

Therefore...

Okay. That's enough.

- She's the most suitable. - Do you agree?

Okay. Thank you very much, Pribprao.

Someone will get in touch with you.

Are we finished here?

Thank you. Goodbye.

- Pribprao. - Yes?

I've discussed this with Prim.

I'll probably be the one to get in touch with you.

Congratulations on us being colleagues in advance.

See you later.

Thank you.

Okay.

Everything's good?

- Hey! - Ah!

Uh...

What are you doing here?

Why are you sleeping here?

Get in. Close the doors too. There are mosquitoes about.

Okay.

Argh!

Why don't you sleep in your room?

Too many mosquitoes. So I let Buay hold the fort alone.

- Okay. - And why did you come out?

I can't sleep. Nothing else.

Boss, can I ask you something?

Why did you

start Return Man?

Oh.

I won't pester you anymore.

It's okay if you don't want to answer.

There's something.

I want to retrieve for myself as well.

I want the truth from my dad.

My dad gave me

this Rubik's cube

almost 20 years ago.

It was a new toy for Thai people at the time.

Twenty years?

And it's been almost 20 years

since my dad's disappearance.

I've been looking for him my whole life,

but I still can't find him.

There are certain things.

I need to hear from him.

Are you confused as to how this has anything to do with the company?

Well,

I think I've always been retrieving things for other people

because I probably understand the feeling.

The feeling of someone who's lost something.

So I started Return Man.

I'm very good at running it too,

even though.

I still can't retrieve that thing for my own sake.

Thanks.

What about you?

You're resigning, aren't you?

How did you find out?

It's not difficult to guess.

Something must've happened since your sister's visit.

For instance,

you might've been forced to resign.

You might've bragged about Return Man to your sister

and she noticed the inconsistencies when she came by the office

so you were forced to resign.

Whoa.

You're so spot-on.

Did a ghost whisper that to you or something?

I knew it.

That's why your face looked as sad as a corgi's butt today.

How did I look?

Like this.

Oh, that's so ugly!

Prib,

I still haven't seriously asked you about this.

About why

you decided to work with us.

Hm...

Return Man

gave me

courage, I guess.

Well,

I'm the middle child.

Whatever I do is average, with average talent.

Even when I wish for something, I'd get something average.

Everything's right in the middle for me. But there's one thing.

And that's beauty. It might be a bit more than average.

That was a joke.

I always stay in my safe zone when I do something

and don't have the courage to do anything else.

To me,

you're very talented.

Seriously?

Seriously.

It's so strange. I don't get complimented that often.

And apart from Vivi,

is there anything else you want to bring back?

Actually,

I'm the opposite of you.

I'd rather return it.

According...

to this project,

the le... le... le...

le... le... le... lemongrass...

- h... h... helps... - When I was younger,

- repel mosquitoes. - I stuttered.

- It's a... - So I lacked confidence.

n... natural...

h...

herb.

She's a lost cause.

Le... le... lemongrass!

No, that's not enough.

You have to go le... le... le... le... lemongrass!

- That's it! - That's perfect.

You're so spot-on.

If you stutter, you're the teacher's pet.

Do you think if I pretend to stutter like that,

will the teachers love me more?

I don't think so. It's going to ruin our group's image.

Really!

Did you buy a new phone?

That's right.

My dad bought it for me.

Come on. Let's take some photos.

Guys, say it together.

One, two...

- Le... le... le... lemongrass! - Le... le... le... lemongrass!

Do we really have to say it that long?

- What should we do? - It's still not long enough.

Tell the teachers we stutter too.

Le... le... le... le... le...

Didn't you eat just now?

Stop whinging.

- Oh, Mafueng. - Hm?

The teacher asked me to tell you to bring her the class money.

The class money? Sure.

Where did it go?

Toon, did you take it?

No, I didn't.

Why would I?

Hey,

it's the class money.

Where did it go? Can you help me find it?

It might be under your desk.

Does my story

sound

lame?

I'm not that good of a person.

Actually,

Prim's probably right.

I'm not suitable for Return Man.

Because I really feel.

I'm the company's weakest link.

Prib.

Boss?

Boss? Boss? Boss...

Do you hear something?

- No? - Shh!

What's...

Come on!

Stay down!

Can you imitate Chom's voice?

Huh?

Ned?

What are you doing here?

Uh...

Are you still up?

Ned,

you took the ring, didn't you?

In conclusion,

you took the ring.

That's right.

And do you mind

telling us the reason?

You can trust us.

Everyone in this room

won't judge you.

You have my word.

Because I don't want to get married.

My dream

is to participate in a beauty pageant in Bangkok.

But I'll be ineligible if I get married.

So I stole the ring.

But I lost it.

I've been looking for it every day.

I really have been.

But I can't find it.

And I'm too scared to tell the truth to Mother.

I'm worried she might misunderstand me

and think I don't love her son.

I actually love him a lot.

But I really don't know what to do.

I'm so confused right now.

In any case,

you have to find a way to tell her.

Don't worry.

We'll keep you company.

(Garden House Near Bangkok)

What's the matter, Yod?

Have you found the ring?

Not really.

But someone would like to tell you something.

Ned?

Mother,

I took the ring.

I heard everything

last night.

Ever since the ring's gone missing,

she's changed.

She became quieter.

And at night,

she'd ask to go somewhere

for a long time.

I followed her again last night

and heard everything.

Because I don't want to get married.

I'm really sorry.

I didn't mean it.

Didn't I tell you

participating in beauty pageants isn't a stable career?

There's no future in it.

I want you to marry my son

because I've been fond of you since you were young.

It's better for you if you stay here.

I'll let you choose again.

Tell me. Are you going to choose to be with my son

or enter the beauty pageant?

Choose!

I've decided.

I'm going to enter the beauty pageant.

Even if you try to stop me, I'll still do it.

That's it!

I've been waiting for my dear girl to tell the truth for so long!

If you really want to enter the pageant, you should do it.

Hm?

And what about the wedding?

Don't worry. I'll handle everything here.

But just come to me if there's anything again, okay?

Because we're family.

And we can express our feelings to each other frankly.

Okay?

Thank you!

I'd been waiting for so long

- for you to... - Why didn't you tell me sooner?

- This looks delicious. - Can we just take all of these?

- Of course! - There's a lot!

- Thank you so much! - We still have a lot left.

We'll be eating these for a while. Thank you so much!

It's not a bother at all. Just take them all.

Consider them as small gifts from us.

If those aren't enough, we'll bring more.

Oh! But we still haven't found the ring.

The ring is just an object. It's okay.

I've got my dear girl back now.

It's better than anything else.

Here are some more.

- Ah! - Just for you.

Don't tell the others.

- Thank you! - Can I give you a hug?

Ah!

- Wait... - You go that way. I'll go this way.

- Okay. - One, two, three!

Ah! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Oh no!

- Hey! - Ah!

What?

The ring!

- Huh? - Hm?

- It's the ring! - Huh?

The ring!

I found it!

- Uh... - Oh!

You're right! There it is!

I knew it. It was in the carrot patch.

- Ugh! - Ugh!

Okay, Mr. Genius.

- Ugh. - I knew it.

Oh!

- I'll give it back to you. - Okay.

How did it get in there?

This is so fortunate!

(Yonghong Restaurant, Parking available inside)

Serve Pa too.

Oh, Prib?

You didn't tell me you were coming.

- Have you eaten yet? - I haven't.

These are for you. I just came back from a company outing.

- Oh. - Wow.

An outing? That's a good company.

They take their employees on vacation.

And how did you get here?

Chin? Go and call him.

I've been wanting to see him.

- That's true. - Go on. Call him for lunch.

- Bring out a dish for him too. - Tell him to join us.

- Go ahead and call him. - Let's have lunch together.

- Ma, Pa. - Hm?

I...

I broke up with Chin.

And I resigned from my old company.

Ma, don't worry.

I've already found a new job for Prib.

It's a good job with good pay.

No, Prim. After the interview, I told them no.

Huh?

Huh?

Sorry. Well, I told you I think my current job is good.

You mean Return Man?

I can't even see a future for you there.

What's the name again?

Honey, calm down.

Answer her.

It's Return Man.

They offer a retrieval service for everything.

I work as an assistant there.

Even though the pay isn't so good,

I'm super happy to work there.

Is that so?

Mm.

My boss

is a very talented person.

He's very passionate and skillful.

He takes very good care of his subordinates.

So I...

So I'm very happy to work there.

Calm down.

Talk it out nicely.

Prib,

why don't you keep me updated?

I didn't know a thing about you!

Did you know how far I went to brag about you? Seventh Street!

Oh, honey!

This is embarrassing!

Oh dear! I went as far as Seventh Street!

Huh? You're not going to tell me off?

Why would I?

Listen, children.

If it's a major company and the pay's great

but you aren't happy,

then dream on.

My children are my priority.

I love you!

That's the truth!

Isn't that right, honey?

By the way, what should I do

about Seventh Street thing?

You did brag to them a lot.

Right. Prib, how long have you been at your new job?

Two months.

Two months?

- See, Ma? - Huh?

I told you.

Prib's in love.

- Huh? - Hey!

How come you landed on that topic?

Well, during these past two months,

your appearance just got better

completely out of the blue.

I knew it.

Aw!

Pa!

- I knew it. - Gotcha.

So,

you refused to change jobs because of that guy, Yodyuth. Am I right?

Hey, no! That's not it!

Ma, Pa, Yodyuth's her new boss.

So, is he handsome?

You like him, don't you?

Or have you already fallen in love with him?

Listen to me.

Go for it.

If you have feelings for someone,

make the first move.

Bring it on!

When I was young, I...

She was like a tiger!

I made the first move. I had to take initiative.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have ended up with your dad.

Look straight ahead and relax.

- Is this right? - It is.

- Where are you flying off to? - Okay.

Look straight ahead.

Turn around.

Turn around! Mm!

- Focus, okay? - Okay.

We have to practice. All right.

Keep going.

Smile a little.

And we'll rehearse the Q&A.

Okay!

I need your help with something.

What's missing?

The handkerchief you gave me in ninth grade.

I have something super interesting to tell you.

Don't believe in gossip too much.

It's not helpful for our work.

Seize her!
