Thank you.

The card's been charged.

Uh...

- Excuse me. - Oh, I'm sorry!

Okay. I'll tell him to set this one up for now.

Or it'll be...

Has Angel arrived? The set's ready now.

Not yet. She said she's almost here.

Almost here? What time did I write down?

- Get her to hurry up. - Okay, I will.

Do it, now.

All right.

Do you mind...

- Buay. - Oh.

What...

is all this?

It's a TV set, obviously.

I know that.

But what are they doing at the office?

Oh? Didn't you read the group chat?

Huh?

There's a Return Man group chat?

You're not in there.

Add me to the group now.

My bad. I didn't notice you're not part of it.

- I'll explain it to you. - Mm.

The thing is,

Honey told Yod

- that Prasit, her dad... - Mm.

He was contacted by the crew.

They want to use our office as a location for several days.

They seem to think it's nice, so they wanted to come by.

And is Boss okay with this?

Him? Of course.

The pay is great too.

How much are we getting?

Ten thousand.

- Huh? - What?

It's usually 30,000 or 40,000 a day! We could go under!

- Oh, really? - Where's Boss?

In the dressing room.

Hey, Prib?

- Prib? - Excuse me.

Prib? Hey!

Can you go and check over there?

- Okay. All done. - Boss?

- Thank you. - Boss, how could you

let them rent the place for 10,000?

Uh... are you part of it too?

They're one actor short.

And the director probably thinks I'm handsome.

Mm. You really are.

Um...

Oh.

So it might be a bit chaotic today.

Just don't bother the crew, okay?

I know that.

I used to work as an event organizer.

I know how to behave when I'm on set.

That's good then.

I'm getting a coffee. I'll have to be on set in an hour.

You can just hang around here.

Don't wander around.

I know!

Oh.

Yes?

I'm glad.

About what?

That you chose to stay with us.

I'm really happy you did.

Mm.

I'm happy too.

Maybe we should visit

your favorite sukiyaki shop sometimes?

Sure. When? We'll ask Auntie Penn and Buay as well.

Uh...

Can't we...

Can't we go there just the two of us?

Angel's here. Go ahead and help her get ready.

- Mm. - Is it good?

- Sure. Anything you suggest. - Okay.

Hi.

Yodyuth!

Yodyuth, number 30?

Yada, number 18?

Hey!

I thought I wouldn't get to see you!

I've really missed you! How have you been?

I'm fine.

Wow, so you're an actor now?

- Mm! - Hm.

We haven't seen each other in ages.

Oh!

- Scene 9. Shot 1. Take 1. - Set.

And action!

Thirty million!

You won my heart. Then you dumped me!

How can that chump change be enough?

Hey, don't hang up yet! Wait!

Get out, all of you!

Pei.

You stay.

Stay and help me calm down.

Auntie,

is that really the female lead?

Female leads in TV shows in this day and age

are a far cry from the olden days.

Nowadays, the woman always makes the first move.

Make the first move?

Shh!

Sorry.

And cut! All good! Go on, Pew.

Okay. Great job, everyone. Prepare for the next scene.

Okay, team. Can you check the set inside?

Help me over there.

I'm sorry about just now.

What are you talking about? You're a good actor.

Good? I haven't even said a single line.

Thank you.

Thank you.

- Thank you. - Uh, Yodyuth?

I heard you're running an item retrieval service.

That's right.

Like I said, I'm the CEO.

Oh.

Well, I want to ask you a favor.

Do you mind listening to my story?

Of course not.

How long has it been since we last saw each other?

Hm...

Around 20 years?

- Mm. - Mm.

Is something the matter?

I want to talk to you in private.

The thing is,

these guys are part of my team.

They have an equal right to know.

Don't worry. You can speak.

Well, last month, my things have been going missing more often.

I thought I left them somewhere and forgot at first.

But when it started to happen more often,

I realized something wasn't right.

It's out of the ordinary.

What went missing?

It was small stuff at first,

like hair clips, bracelets, and earrings.

Lately, it's been branded shoes that were on loan,

scene costumes,

and the latest was...

a handkerchief.

It's always with me, and today it went missing.

It's the handkerchief you gave me in 9th grade.

Whoa.

You kept it after all this time?

Mm.

That's why I said I wanted to talk to you in private.

Actually, the things I listed weren't that valuable anyway.

But it's the handkerchief I want back.

It's important to me.

Okay. Well then.

I need some more details from you.

Sure. You can ask me anything.

And, uh...

Why didn't you go to the police?

I've asked my manager, Kwang, to do that.

But she told me there hasn't been any progress

because it mostly happened when we were on set.

So things would go missing while you were filming?

That's right.

I've asked the crew, but everyone insisted they didn't do it.

We halted filming and searched everyone's bag but found nothing.

So I was at my wit's end.

I got the chance to see you today, so I thought I'd ask for help.

Can you give me a hand?

Uh, well...

We provide

item retrieval service, not lost and found.

- We might not... - Pribprao,

I'll be the one to decide.

But it's like finding a needle...

Pribprao!

Well...

It's... what?

What's up with you?

Huh? You've been acting weird.

Oh.

Vivi's a little bit unwell,

so my brain's been a bit on the fritz lately. Sorry.

Oh.

Anyway, I'll just wait outside.

Uh...

My apologies.

It's fine.

- Ah! - Oops! I'm sorry!

- Excuse me? - Yes?

Have you seen Angel?

Oh, she's right there.

Through that door.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Angel!

Angel!

- Angel! - Do you think this guy's

her new boyfriend?

Yes, but I think it'll be the same as before.

She's just doing it for the headlines.

What do you mean?

Don't you know?

She used to date this guy

just for the leaked photos. She didn't want to

be out of the limelight.

Haven't you noticed her trying so hard lately?

Don't tell me that all this about the missing stuff is...

Just trying to make the headlines.

Hmph. I've heard.

Kwang's going to cancel her contract.

- Really? - Of course.

I guess she couldn't stand her behavior.

Okay. Deal.

I'm accepting the job.

Well then...

We require half the amount upfront. Is that okay?

Okay. There's no need to worry about money.

Angel?

Are you in here?

Yes?

Oh, hello.

Go and get changed. The crew's waiting.

Sorry. I was just talking to an old friend.

This is Yodyuth.

Oh, hi. I'm Kwang.

Hi, I'm Yodyuth.

I'm sorry our work talk ran a bit late.

It's okay.

What work though?

I was asking him to find my missing things.

But the police are also on the case.

Kwang, it's been almost a month. There hasn't been any progress.

I don't think you have to worry about it anymore.

I'm paying out of my pocket as well.

Okay. Sure. Just forget it.

Come on. Let's get you changed.

I have to go now.

Don't make them wait. It's rude.

I'm going home now, Yod.

I'll be here at 05:00 a.m. to open the door for the crew.

Thank you, Auntie.

I'm going now. See you, bro.

Bye. Safe travels.

Safe travels, Auntie.

Oh, Prib? Why are you still here?

I've been waiting to talk to you.

About what?

I'll start then.

Well,

I heard the crew gossiping all day long

- that Angel likes to do things... - Prib.

- Huh? - Don't believe in gossip too much.

It's not helpful for our work.

All right.

Oh?

That was terse. Why are you mad at me?

I didn't expect you to be gullible and believe her.

And isn't believing in gossip considered gullible as well?

Pribprao,

don't worry.

I'm not a gullible person.

I trust my instincts.

Mm.

Gee, you made yourself look handsome again.

- Aren't I? - You're average.

Oh? You said I was handsome this morning.

You were then, but not anymore.

Hello?

- Oh, Met? - Doc!

Hey.

Huh? Did you redecorate your office, Yuth?

- Oh. - Oh.

A TV show is renting the place to film.

Oh. You rented it out for a cheap price again, didn't you?

Well, if it's expensive then...

Why are you here?

I'm thinking of asking Ms. Assistant out for some sukiyaki.

Really?

I'm hungry, actually.

Will you come with us, Boss?

Mm. You should come with, Yuth.

Uh...

I have to go and finish up some work.

You two should go.

- Are you sure? - Mm.

Have it your way then.

Let's go, Prib.

Oh.

I'll wait outside.

Oh, okay.

- I'll be going now. - See you.

Boss, aren't you coming?

You should go.

Oh, okay.

- Enjoy your dinner. - See you tomorrow.

I'm staying at a hotel near the set.

Can you come over?

Come in.

Hm.

Such a nice crew you're working with.

They booked a room for their female lead too.

Naturally.

But I might not get to be a female lead much longer.

What do you mean?

I'm exhausted.

Showbiz can drive people to insanity.

Did you know that?

Move over and sit down properly.

Oh.

Do you know it's very lonely

to make it to the top without anyone to celebrate your success with?

People approach you for their own gain.

No one knows the real you.

Then this stupid thing with the missing stuff happened.

I don't know who to trust

except you.

Actually, when I knew we were going to film

at your office, I had the handkerchief ready.

I was planning to return it.

Why's that?

I don't deserve to have it.

There's one thing I've always felt guilty about.

(Son of a Murderer)

What if he inherited his dad's DNA and has a genetic predisposition?

Then that's really bad news.

Right?

Well...

I was one of them...

who bullied you.

I'm sorry.

You probably find it hard to believe I had a crush on you back then too.

But I didn't know how to express it

- because everyone was... - Bullying me.

You just

didn't want to stray from the group.

Anyway,

you had a crush on me as well? Really?

Mm.

- Hm... Angel? - Mm.

I recall one of Yuth's first crushes.

Her name was.

Fah? Yarin? Yada?

There. It's Yada.

So she joined showbiz and changed her name to "Angel"?

I know, right?

I knew it. What kind of person names themself "Angel"?

So, was she his first love?

Do you have feelings for Yuth?

Hey, hey.

Be careful. Drink some water.

No, I don't...

I don't have a crush on him.

Are you sure you're not going to tell me the truth?

What truth? I'm actually telling the truth.

I'm being super truthful.

All right.

If I make a move on you,

would you be okay with that?

I like you, Pribprao.

You're just playing with me, aren't you, Doc?

Have you ever heard about this? If a boy has a crush on a girl,

he'll try to get her attention by pulling her pigtails.

I was pretty much the same back then.

I tried to get your attention.

But in a bad way.

Do you hate me?

Hey.

Are you crazy? Why would I hate you?

It's in the past.

Just forget it. Don't overthink it.

Thanks.

Oh, by the way,

about your missing things,

do you have any suspects in mind?

Mm. None at all.

But I'm ready to come to terms with it if I don't get them back.

I've been thinking of quitting the biz anyway.

Like I said, I'm exhausted.

I want to do something.

I've already started a business.

I don't accept any more jobs and canceled the contract with Kwang.

The only thing that's left

is to do my best in the role I've currently accepted. That's all.

Kwang.

What's the matter?

Oh, nothing. It's just that

something's bothering me.

Mostly it happened when we were on set.

I'm sorry our work talk ran a bit late.

What work though?

I was asking him to find my missing things.

But the police are also on the case.

And I canceled the contract with Kwang.

Well, I have to go.

Aren't you going to stay for a bit?

Uh...

I'd rather not. I don't want to be in the news.

But if I get to be in the news with you, I'm okay with that.

Really?

I'll pass. See you tomorrow.

See you.

And cut!

All right. Let's shoot the final scene.

Game,

Kwang, Angel's manager, said they had to leave.

What? Don't we have one more scene to shoot?

Well, yes. But they just informed us this morning.

And we're a bit behind schedule too.

Oh? Then what are we going to do?

I've actually thought about this. Hear me out.

Let's use a stand-in. Shoot from the back angle.

That should still work with the story.

All right. Whatever you say.

By the way, do you have a stand-in?

It's a bit last minute. But I have a plan.

Yes?

What is this? Only 500?

Aren't Angel's belongings I sent over enough for you?

I see.

Please calm down. I can handle this. No problem.

Yes.

You'll get to see Angel tonight, sir.

There's no need to worry.

Okay.

See you later then.

Okay. Of course.

Cut. All good.

All right. We're finished!

Oh? Okay.

We're finished today. Thank you very much, everyone.

Thank you!

- See you tomorrow. - Thank you!

- Thank you! - I'll give this back.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

We've wiped off the blood. You can go and get changed now.

Okay. Thank you very much.

- Boss! Boss! - Hm?

I have something super interesting to tell you.

What? More gossip?

No!

I heard...

Prib,

can you tell me later?

I'd like to get changed. The blood is so sticky.

Boss, just a second!

Please...

And, uh...

All right then.

- Are you getting changed? - Yes.

- Thank you. - Right over there.

- Can I just head inside? - Of course.

- Thank you. - All right.

Can you prepare the costume, please?

Sure.

(P'Kwang Manager)

Uh, the phone...

(P'Kwang Manager)

You'll get to see Angel tonight, sir.

Hello?

Where are you?

You still haven't left? The client's waiting.

Hm?

Uh...

Where are we meeting them?

Can you remind me?

- It's me, Angel. - Hey, get the door.

Yes, sir.

Hello.

Please, come in.

Thank you.

Hello.

Hi, there.

We meet at last, Angel.

- Hey! - Yes?

Who are you?

Right? She doesn't look at all like she does on TV.

Restrain her!

Calm down! Take it easy!

Angel?

What are you doing here?

Didn't we talk already?

About what?

My phone's in the dressing room.

And what are you doing?

Oh.

Yodyuth managed to retrieve one of the missing items.

Then we just kept talking.

What item?

Here. My handkerchief.

Surprised?

No.

You were the one who stole her things, weren't you?

That's an accusation.

The person who could do it had to be someone who could get close to her.

And you seem

especially surprised

to see

this fake handkerchief.

Because the real one

shouldn't have been here. Am I right?

Last month,

Angel canceled your contract with her.

You lost your income, so you had to steal her things and sell them.

I'm guessing you didn't sell them at a regular market

but must've sold them

to someone who has enough money to afford her personal belongings.

I'm right again, aren't I?

Is it true, Kwang?

Angel, listen to me.

Mafia Tom

just wanted to arrange to have dinner with you.

He offered a lot of money.

I felt it'd be a waste,

so I accepted it. That's all.

And I sent

your belongings to him.

You don't even use those.

But today,

I didn't want to avoid him anymore.

So I had to tell you

we have a meeting with a client for a product.

Which is, in fact, a meeting with Mafia Tom.

Exactly.

How could you do this to me?

You're a celebrity.

You wouldn't understand.

You won't have any trouble if you turn down a gig from time to time.

Do you know other people are having trouble?

Hang on.

You said

you talked on the phone with her.

Where did Mafia Tom ask to meet her?

Answer me! Where did he ask to meet her?

I've tried so many times to arrange a meeting with Angel.

But she only

sent me these things.

Tonight, I wanted to see her.

But I still haven't gotten to meet her.

I'm sorry.

So who are you?

Can you tell me now?

Oh, sure. I'll tell you now. I'm nobody.

I'm just an ordinary person.

I... I'm sorry. Can I go home now?

- I won't... - How can I believe you?

I swear! I don't just say random things!

Hey, Wud! Take her away and deal with her!

Ah! Not yet! I'm sorry!

No, you can't go in there.

Where's Pribprao?

I asked you a question! Where's Pribprao?

Boss! Boss!

- Boss! Help! - Go and see who's here!

- It's the green room on the right! - Hurry!

Boss!

- Boss! - Hey, shut up!

Boss! Boss!

- Help... - Hey, shut it now!

Boss!

Hey! Who are you?

Don't come any closer,

or it's this wench's life!

Let her go, now.

No!

Do you know who I am?

If you take one more step,

you can prepare a funeral for her!

I said let her go now!

No!

Were you even listening to what I said?

I'm holding a knife here!

So are you going to let her go or not?

No!

You're not?

- Don't come any closer! - Ah! Boss!

You!

- You! - That's enough, Prib!

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

Uh...

Well, it's not too bad.

Don't come out on your own again, okay?

What would we do if something happened?

Don't you see how dangerous it was?

- But I'm fine... - What do you mean "fine"?

- Well, it's just a little bit. - And does it hurt?

Just a lit... no.

You were busy, so I didn't tell you.

Who was busy?

Weren't you making a move on a girl?

- Making a move... - Yes, that's what I said.

On whom? Nonsense... don't change the topic.

Don't do this again. Do you understand, Pribprao?

Do you understand?

I do. And how did you get in? There are heaps of them. So intimidating.

Who's intimidating?

What is it? The Black Shirts?

They're massive.

Come here.

Whoa.

Your forehead's all sticky. See?

Sorry.

- Ah, Boss! Be gentle! - I thought you said it didn't hurt.

No, it doesn't.

And look at these ropes.

- Die! - Hey!

Boss!

Huh? Hey! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Hey! I'm sorry!

How's Yodyuth doing?

Uh...

The doctor said

there's nothing to worry about.

He's sleeping like a log right now.

Thank you.

Please give him my best wishes.

Of course.

- Who'd do that? - Who were you talking to?

Hm?

With your insurance company, of course.

- Mm. - Hm?

- My insurance company? - Yes!

I'm your secretary. Why wouldn't I know which company you're with?

Here.

Ugh, the dress is so tight!

How are you feeling?

Well, I'm coping.

Does that mean you're not?

You bled so much. I thought you were going to die.

I'm sorry!

- I didn't mean it to turn out... - Hey.

No one would mean that.

Or did you?

What? I didn't...

I'm sorry!

Maybe you didn't mean it before, but just now you did.

You meant to take the blow for me so I'd feel guilty, didn't you?

Who'd want to get hurt?

Hm?

How should I know?

My body just moved on its own accord.

Why do you have to sound like you're a hero?

Do you say such things to every woman you come across?

Not really.

Only to you.

Oh, you've arrived?

Okay, sure. I'll hurry over now.

See you later. I'm hanging up.

I've got something for you.

What is it?

Thanks.

It's a gold necklace

worth around a quarter of a baht.

It must've fallen when I ran into... the ghost.

So I'd like to ask you

to help me get it back.

Some weirdo came by the office today.

You have to stay out of this completely.

If my speculation is correct,

we'll be able to retrieve it by tonight.

Don't you dare!
