KANKLAO DUAYSIANKLAO

ISHIKAWA PLOWDEN

Hey, Captain.

Is the idiot in position?

Give the man some respect.

And don’t call me Captain while we’re working.

Understood, Prab Seuk.

CHATCHAWIT TECHARUKPONG

Pun Pun.

Yes?

Do Bambi’s lashes later.

I need your help putting this on.

Okay.

Excuse me?

How is your head more important than my lashes?

You have very little hair.

Shave it off and you could play a monk.

You’re no better than me, you dwarf.

If you were only just a bit shorter, you could play a little ghost.

Hey.

I’m getting fed up with you doing this every day.

Please don’t fight.

Prab.

He’s in position.

Stop.

Don’t stress. Your hair will fall out.

Your hair will fall out.

RHATHA PHONGAM

There he is.

Yes.

Don’t stress. Your hair will fall out.

You’re late, ladies.

KITTIPAT CHALARAGSE

Everyone must be ready in 15 minutes.

What are you fighting about, old drags?

♪ Can you hear the voice inside our beating hearts? ♪

Sorry.

Stop!

♪ Surrounded by music and lights ♪

♪ It’s just you and me right here ♪

♪ Let your heart roam far and free ♪

♪ In the fantasy you desire ♪

♪ Just move to the rhythm and dance with me ♪

♪ I will turn dreams into reality ♪

Hey! That’s my bike!

♪ Leave the real world of prying eyes behind ♪

♪ Look into mine ♪

♪ This is not just a dream ♪

♪ Follow where your head and heart lead ♪

Come here.

Go.

Monty!

How could you do this to me?

I thought we were friends.

You speak good English when selling drugs.

Go.

You can continue speaking in jail.

What’s wrong?

Nothing.

Look, buddies don’t lie to each other.

I’m just a little annoyed.

With what?

Today we managed to catch the dealer

and seize the drugs.

We did perfect.

Yeah, we did perfectly mess up.

My stuff is in a mess.

Who’s going to take responsibility?

Are you even going to take responsibility?

Is my bike broken?

Of course not.

I only borrowed it for a minute.

Don’t be so possessive, kid.

This is a complete mess.

Guys, you will get reimbursed for all the damages.

When?

Is it going to take long?

When?

Soon.

I’ll be waiting.

Don’t keep me waiting.

Sorry, guys.

I’m mad and hungry.

Look at all this broken stuff.

We’re so sorry. We’ll pay for it.

I see.

You’re scared of getting reprimanded by Commander Chartchai.

I’m just sick of it.

Every time I do my job, he only brings up my mistakes.

What do you think he’s going to see when he reads the report?

A drug dealer getting arrested or this broken noodle pot and that bike I borrowed?

You stole it.

You still won’t drop it?

Just go.

Let’s go grab a drink.

Come on.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Yes?

Why are you so beautiful?

You mean my performance was beautiful, right?

Yes, I like your performance.

But I like you more, Nadia.

Thank you.

Hey, hurry up.

Other people are waiting in line.

Do you have manners?

Can’t you see we’re talking?

You’re the only one trying to start a conversation.

No one wants to talk to you.

Calm down. Please don’t fight.

Don’t let me see you again.

Please calm down.

Ignore them. Let’s continue taking photos.

Mama.

What happened? I saw the guard carry someone out again.

Oh, they’re fighting over the same thing every night.

It’s so boring.

Are they really going to fight over Nadia every night?

If you were pretty, you’d understand.

I’m sorry.

Thank you so much.

Oh, no. This is for Nadia.

Sorry.

Excuse me.

Oh, it’s you, Lucy.

Of course, it’s me.

Who did you think it was?

Why did you come inside early?

Many people are still taking photos outside.

I’m tired.

I’m really tired myself.

I had to flee as well. It’s too much.

A lot of people were waiting to give me flowers and get photos with me

but I couldn’t take it anymore.

Poor you.

Well, I’m not sure if you’ve noticed,

but people were fighting because they’re waiting to get photos with me.

I don’t understand.

Why do they have to fight?

Tell me honestly,

how could you deal with it when you were in my position?

It’s so crazy.

You have to have both talent and experience.

Being a good drag queen is not only about being able to sing and dance.

You also need to know how to handle the audience.

If you can’t do it, you can’t be a drag queen.

I’ll try.

I wish I could be as good as you.

You still have a long way to go.

Ouch. That’s harsh.

I think I’m going to go back there and continue posing for photos.

I should practice dealing with them like you suggested.

I’m going to start now.

Don’t force yourself if it’s too much for you.

Would you mind if I leave these flowers here for a while?

They’re just so heavy.

My room is full.

I have to go.

Why do I have to lose the spotlight to that bitch Nadia?

Here you go, handsome.

Thanks.

You do know that half of the women working here aren’t real women, right?

Yeah.

You do?

Of course, I do.

But it doesn’t bother me too much,

if their bodies and hearts are women.

I like them.

Are you serious?

Of course.

Hey.

Don’t tell me you’re homophobic.

We’re in the modern era.

You can’t still be homophobic.

The thought of a brother I love and respect being homophobic is too much for me.

My heart would break if an up-and-coming police officer

of the narcotics suppression bureau were that kind of person.

Tanu. Hang on.

I’m not discriminating against any gender, okay?

Then what’s the problem?

Never mind.

What?

Why won’t you answer my question

or drink your liquor?

Excuse me.

I finished it.

Are you okay?

Good.

Come on.

Sit down.

Take it.

Bottoms up.

You’re insane.

Hey.

Are you okay?

I’m fine.

Are you ready to talk now?

More than ready.

I’m ready.

Bring it.

So what’s the deal?

Everything started with Preecha.

He’s my older brother.

We used to play football like men

but somehow he became a trans person.

What?

It’s confusing.

Imagine how confused I was as a kid

to see my own brother transform himself so completely.

Poor kid.

Yes, I was poor little Prab Seuk.

And you know what?

There was a time when I wasn’t sure if I also was one.

Wait.

Don’t tell me you’re…

No!

I’m the most straight man.

Okay. Continue.

It was a really confusing time for me.

Ever since Preecha changed,

we never played football again

and we had to find something else to do together.

Wait.

Don’t tell me you…

What did you do?

What did you do?

He made me dress as a girl.

Just think about it.

An innocent boy got hair and makeup done like a Barbie doll by his brother.

A rough guy like you?

I really can’t imagine.

That’s not all.

No?

One day while I was napping

my brother put tissue papers under my shirt.

I woke up with a shock.

A 7-or-8-year-old me fell asleep and woke up to find myself having breasts.

Hang on.

So you convinced your parents to let you get your police training abroad,

not because you wanted to get police training,

but because you wanted to get away from your brother?

Yes, I wanted to get away from my trans brother.

That, Tanu,

is my wound.

That’s why I get uncomfortable every time I see trans women.

I want to apologize to every trans woman.

I’m sorry.

You understand me, right?

Of course, I understand you, brother.

Hello, ladyboy?

You’re the ladyboy.

I just called to let you know

I’m coming to stay in Bangkok with you, Nadia.

Sometimes I wonder

who is more of a threat to society.

If something like this happens again,

I will confiscate your officer badge.

Hello?

Hello, ladyboy.

You’re the ladyboy.

Are you still in bed, Non? It’s almost noon.

Try being a drag queen like me

and you’ll see why I wake up at noon.

And if you come to Bangkok,

don’t ever call me by that name.

No one here knows about it.

Understand?

Understood, Miss Nadia.

I just called to let you know I got my master’s degree

and already left my part-time job here.

I’m coming to stay in Bangkok with you, Nadia.

Alright, master’s degree holder.

See you soon, hon.

Bye.

Please come visit Chiang Rai again.

I will.

Public disturbance.

Noise disturbance.

Vandalism.

Stealing.

Prab, let’s not write such a detailed report next time.

I was thinking the same thing.

What are you whispering about?

Nothing.

Sometimes I wonder who is more of a threat to society,

you guys or the druggies you’re assigned to arrest.

But, Commander,

my approach has proved to be effective in catching the drug dealers

My arrest rate is higher than the other officers’ combined.

But I also have to pay for your mission more than others’.

Do you know we have to pay people when we receive complaints,

for damage or whatever it is?

And do you know who has to pay that money?

You.

Wrong.

Our department.

Using the limited budget we have.

I’m not joking.

Every time they do a roundup, we’re suspected of swindling.

They’re close to setting up an investigation committee.

I’m done with my reprimand.

Time for praise.

Prab Seuk.

Sir.

You’re great.

You’re very talented.

I’d say you’re the best officer in our department.

In my opinion, no one is better than you.

Thank you, sir.

What about me?

But if something like this happens again,

I will confiscate your officer badge.

So that wasn’t praise.

Two, three, and four.

Five, six, seven, ooh.

Hi, everyone.

Nadia.

Have you eaten? I’ll go buy you some food.

No.

Pun Pun,

you’re an intern, not a servant.

So continue eating and dancing.

It’s okay. I can go get something for you.

Thank you, but I already ate a banana before running.

Alright, if you ever need help with anything, just let me know.

Pun Pun, do you have that much free time to talk to Nadia?

She was just asking if I’d already eaten.

Have you collected the laundry?

Yes.

Have you replaced the broken light bulb on stage?

I already got a contact from Tomo.

And have you called the technician?

Why look down? Answer.

Not yet.

And? Do I need to make the call myself?

If you keep being irresponsible like this,

do not think you can become a drag queen.

Julia.

Hello, is that Suriya Technician?

A light bulb at Mambo Cabaret is broken.

Could you please send someone to fix it?

Thank you. Bye.

Pun Pun.

Yes?

I’m about to go to my dance practice with Aunt Honey.

There’s this duet song I need a partner for.

Can you be my partner?

Yes.

Really?

Yes.

I practiced just now.

Hello Bangkok.

Is she not home?

Why is my brother so messy?

Mambo Cabaret Show.

Are you sure we’ve come to the right place?

I am.

There’s only one love motel in this neighborhood.

Why do you know so much?

You talk like you don’t know me.

I come here more often than I visit temples.

I believe that.

There are so many rooms here.

If you hadn’t stopped at the red light,

we would’ve caught up with that motorbike

and we wouldn’t have to be wasting time looking right now.

What do you want me to do?

The commander said we can’t break any rules.

Do we really have to work this way?

Yes.

Come on, let’s do this.

This is like a penthouse.

So posh.

I haven’t been to this room.

Quiet.

Where’s the guy?

Stop. Don’t move.

Why do I have to see this?

Get dressed.

But that’s a skirt.

Just wear it.

Now.

Both of you will come with us for questioning.

Come out.

Walk.

Quickly.

Quickly.

Stop!

Don’t run!

Stop!

(Do not cause damage.)

(If you break the rules again, I will confiscate your office badge.)

Stop!

Why is he such an annoyingly good fighter?

Did wearing a skirt give him more power?

Prove it yourself next time, Tanu.

What do we do now?

We’ve been able to arrest every target until now.

I won’t lose that record easily.

Prab.

You certainly know what you’re doing.

Prab.

Mambo Cabaret.

I think you’re in the wrong seat.

I’m in the right seat.

Let me handle it.

Are you a psychopath

I’m looking for the drug dealer too.

Do you think he’s hiding in the drag queen’s cleavage?

Prab.

I got the tickets.

They gave us the brochure as well.

Let me see.

“Mambo Cabaret ...

has been performing for decades”.

“We’re world-famous.”

Even if they’re the most famous in the universe,

I still wouldn’t want to watch their shows. Understand?

Come now. I understand.

It’s because your ladyboy brother

forced you to dress as a girl when you were a kid, right?

You’re traumatized.

How do you know about that?

You told me yourself.

When?

We have work to do

and a drug dealer to catch.

I promise that after tonight, you won’t have to go in there again.

You promise?

I promise.

What row are we in?

Our seats are E21 and E22.

I remember.

Over there.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Watch your feet.

I think you’re in the wrong seat.

I’m in the right seat.

I don’t think so,

because I booked a seat next to my friend.

E22?

Yes.

I’m in E22 too.

I think you got it wrong.

Why do you think so?

Because we just checked before we came in.

So did I.

And the staff walked me to this seat.

The staff got it wrong then.

Hold on.

So everyone is wrong, except you?

-What’s wrong with you?
- No.

I’m just saying that you’re in the wrong seat.

And I’m saying that I’m in the right seat.

It’s okay.

Let me handle it.

Hi.

What’s your name?

You’re asking my name?

Are you a psychopath?

Why are you fighting in here?

The show is about to start.

Just take out your tickets and check.

You guys are annoying.

Why are you blocking my view?

You’re annoying.

It’s clear now.

See?

It’s clear that we’re not wrong.

It’s clear that we’re wrong.

We’re in row F.

This is row E.

You’re blocking my view.

Sorry.

Where?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

It’s probably too dark and she couldn’t see me.

Right.

If she’d seen you, she would’ve run away and given us her seat.

Wait, did you just insult me?

Yes.

Can I get a photo with you?

I’m a short guy.

Excuse me.

I’ve missed you so much.

Nadia, you were so beautiful and talented in that show.

Don’t tell me you want to become a drag queen like me.

That sounds like a good idea.

Before this gets too long,

let’s agree to continue our catch up at home.

But can I take photos with my guests first?

Okay.

That’s my older brother, I mean sister.

Can I get a photo too?

You’re so cute.

You can have another 100 baht.

I’m broke now. I’ll be right back.

Prab, can I borrow another 100 baht?

I don’t have that money.

What happened to your face?

Probably a freebie in return for my generous tip.

Please give me 100 baht.

I’m busted.

No.

It’s only 100 baht.

No.

It’s only 100 baht.

I know you have it.

I saw it this morning. Can I check your wallet?

No.

Please. I only need 100 baht.

No.

Please.

She’s leaving.

I’ll pay you back.

I’m back.

There are so many people.

Prab.

What?

Let’s take a photo with her.

No.

Just one photo.

Enjoying much?

We’re here for work.

I’m working.

I’m looking for the drug dealer too.

Do you think he’s hiding in the drag queen’s cleavage?

There’s something else.

What is it?

To be honest,

I hope that coming here will help you overcome your fear.

What fear?

That fear.

The fear of trans people.

I’m not afraid of them.

Fine.

The point is you were afraid when you were a kid,

and it leads to you having problems with them as an adult.

If you can overcome this today.

Wait.

If you can overcome this problem,

it might change the way you see them.

Are you done?

I’m leaving.

Wait.

Just one photo. Please.

Wait.

I’m only asking for one photo.

I’m doing this because I love you.

Please.

I’m only asking for one photo.

I’m doing this because I love you.

Look.

That’s the guy.

That’s the drug dealer from the love motel.

Hey!

Stop!

I’m going to ask who your boss is

and you’re going to tell me.

Are you saying your boss has a money laundering business?

Where is it?

I think you know already.

Just look at my employee ID.

That’s the guy.

That’s the drug dealer from the love motel.

Hey!

Go!

Stop!

Excuse me.

Stop!

Stop!

I said stop!

This is the police!

Stop!

I’ve had enough.

Tanu, look for drugs.

Yes, sir.

Let go!

Gotcha.

You should have known to change before coming to work.

Are you crazy?

Let’s go for a drive.

Wait.

Wear your trousers properly.

Go.

Let go of me!

Does this look familiar?

What did you bring?

I don’t know anything.

No?

Don’t act innocent.

I found your employee ID in the bag.

And this too.

Class 2 narcotics.

Anyone caught in possession or selling them will be sentenced to 5 years to life in jail

and fined 500,000 to 5 million baht.

But for so many of these.

You will face a life in jail and never see the sun again.

Tell us who you’re smuggling the drugs for.

I’ll have you know that I’m not afraid of your law.

Our criminal rules are so much scarier.

Look.

When I dropped my shipment today, I had to pay with my finger.

If I told you guys who my boss was, they would come for my life.

What should we do?

I think this is what we’re looking for.

What is?

A big fish.

Really?

That man?

Not him. His boss.

We must find a way to make him tell us who he’s working for.

Right.

How about we play good cop, bad cop?

Good idea.

The bad cop will go in first.

The good cop waits for the opportunity to interfere.

Okay.

Wait.

Are you playing the bad cop?

That’s the plan.

No, you just talked to him.

He wouldn’t believe your acting.

That has nothing to do with this.

Stop.

I was just developing my character by slapping his head.

I was playing a quiet, no-nonsense cop.

You didn’t talk much because you didn’t know the law.

Am I right?

Let’s do this.

Let’s play rock, scissors, paper and make it fair.

Fine.

Do you know the cute little mermaid song?

What?

Seriously?

Don’t tell me you don’t know the song.

If we sing it, we’ll waste our time.

I’ll play the bad cop then?

No one would let that happen.

Bring it.

Little mermaid claps.

Up and down.

Front and back.

Together.

Rock, scissor, paper.

Yes!

You can be the bad cop next time.

Why do you always get the role?

I don’t know, but this time it’s mine.

Alright.

Let’s try again.

I’m going to ask who your boss is

and you’re going to tell me.

I’m not afraid of you.

Don’t interrupt me.

If I ask you a question, you will answer me politely.

If you’re rude to me, I will do this.

If you take more than 1 second to answer or go off topic,

I will do this.

Do you understand?

You wouldn’t dare hurt me.

A police offer like you is all talk.

You’re rude, took more than 1 second to answer, and got off topic.

I’m going to give you one last punch for free.

Hold on.

Who is your boss?

That’s not an answer.

You’re being rude to me, huh?

Do you still want to be rude to me now?

Will you tell me who your boss is now?

My finger!

I think that’s enough.

Calm down.

I’ll take it from here.

You’re safe for now.

Get out.

He isn’t bipolar, is he?

My god.

Relax.

He’s gone, okay?

Don’t let him hurt me again.

Okay, calm down.

I want to help you.

But you have to help me too.

You said those drugs aren’t yours.

Whose drugs are they?

I can’t give you the name.

You don’t know how cruel my boss is.

If you can’t give me the name,

I can’t help you.

Lieutenant Tanu, come in.

Wait.

I’ll tell you.

Okay.

Very good.

Tell me.

Do you know how much those cost?

A lot, I guess.

Each packet contains 1 kilogram of drugs.

1 kilogram costs 25,000 dollars

or about 760,000 Thai baht.

I’m going home.

Bye.

Bye girls.

Hey.

You two should leave as well.

I’m closing up.

Okay.

Go.

My boss has tons of those drugs.

How many?

A lot, and they sell very well.

If you made as much money as my boss,

you wouldn’t keep it in the bank like normal people, right?

Because people would wonder where you got 10 million to deposit from each time

Are you saying your boss has a money laundering business?

Where is it?

In many locations.

But you have to know only one, which makes a lot of money.

I said quiet down.

I think you know already.

Just look at my employee ID.

Get this out of the way.

Wheel them over.

Why do I have to tell you this every time?

Hurry up.

What if someone sees us?

What are we going to do if it’s damaged?

Stop.

Wait here.

Clear up.

Next, I’m going to step on your back.

Do you know anything about Mambo Cabaret?

I’m not talking about their shows.

Don’t tell me you’re going to do an investigation there.

It’s very dangerous.

I’ve missed you so much.

You’re back with me now.
