Original subtitles

BASED ON A NOVEL BY DOK MAI SOD

I mortgaged our house to the bank.

I needed money for my business.

He has a cash flow problem.

He might even need to file for bankruptcy.

You forced Chantorn into debt without her consent.

I can't let my sister marry a reckless guy like you.

Someone tried to break us up.

Was it Anong?

So that's why she came to the wedding.

Did you talk to Chantorn's family today?

Maybe Anong isn't the one behind this.

They couldn't leave fast enough

once they know that Chut is in debt.

We once exchanged secrets to make us closer.

Why don't you tell me about the secret you're keeping?

I can't stand seeing you love someone else.

I don't know what to do to make you love an evil girl like me.

Are you here to see Wichai?

Yes.

Wichai went to Chut's house.

Chut.

Get up.

Why are you just lying here?

I'm trying to figure out what to do with my life.

Why did Anong betray me?

Anong didn't tell Chantorn's family about the mortgage contract.

How do you know that?

She came to congratulate you.

She didn't come to ruin your wedding.

As for how her brother took over your business,

maybe he didn't do it to hurt you.

He just wanted to teach me a lesson.

Why would he do that to you?

Aren't you two friends?

I saw the photo in your office

that you kept on the bookshelf.

The photo was ripped in half.

You're still single.

I think it's because you have a love that you can't tell anyone.

He's a businessman.

He prioritizes profits before anything else.

Getting to tear us down is probably just a bonus.

But he said he was rooting for me because of you.

Right.

But since I've burned bridges with him,

he no longer feels like he has to respect me.

I won't let the debt that I got myself into

affect your career in any way.

I admit that I made a mistake.

But I won't let anyone suffer because of it.

Wichai. Just leave it there. I will…

I'm here to get my things.

I thought you already went back to Sawankhalok.

Urai went home without me.

Then you don't need to leave.

Because this is your home.

Here's the monthly payment for the mortgage.

This is my problem.

I don't expect you to help me pay off my debt.

If you're too embarrassed to accept this money,

then you don't really want to spend your life with me.

It's my duty as a man to make sure my wife lives comfortably.

I never expected you to live in poverty with me.

That's what others think you should do.

Have you ever asked me what I want?

I know

that I'm not a good guy.

But this is my duty as a man.

So you lied to me and everyone

out of pride?

If I want someone to provide for me,

I can just marry some other guy.

But I want to marry someone I love.

I want someone I can trust.

Money

means nothing to me.

This is nothing compared to what you've done for me.

You've helped me with my marriage.

You're even building a house for me and Chut.

I don't know what I can ever do

to repay you for the kindness you've shown me.

You can repay me

by giving Chut all your love.

That's all I want from you.

I will take care of you

and I'll make you happy every day.

Please don't leave me.

Urai believes that I'm being fooled by you.

Please prove her wrong.

My family already cut me off.

You're all I have left.

Please don't lie to me ever again.

Thank you for still thinking of me.

I really appreciate it.

I've finished cleaning up the place, sir.

Shall we go home?

You've been out all day.

You haven't eaten anything. You might fall ill again.

I have to go pick Nid up first.

I'll be damned.

What's gotten into him this time?

Come take these inside.

- Hey, look. - What is it?

Are you feeling all better, Wichai?

Yes, ma'am.

I haven't had a chance to thank you

for all the gifts you sent me.

We're neighbors. There's no need to thank us.

We think of you as our own family.

It's us who should apologize for all the trouble Anong caused you.

I actually want to talk to you about that.

There's a letter for you, ma'am. Your aunts said to read it immediately.

It's a letter from Wichai.

First of all, I must apologize to you

for how I acted out of anger.

I just realized I was being incredibly rude to you,

but my intentions came from a good place

and I did not mean to offend you.

What happened wasn't your fault.

It was my fault for losing my composure.

I apologize from the bottom of my heart.

I APOLOGIZE FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART

I've thought carefully about what you said to me.

I truly appreciate the feelings you have for me.

It means so much to me in this moment when I'm feeling weak.

But I'm afraid you might be too optimistic

to hold me in high esteem and regard me as a perfect man.

Maybe you've forgotten that I'm a widower.

My late wife committed suicide.

That should be enough proof that I'm not a very good lover.

I'm not sure if you would want to spend your exciting and joyful life

with such a boring person like me.

Even if you don't mind that,

you have to think about your family's approval.

They may not approve of the two of us being together.

I don't want to rush you

to make a decision based on your feelings.

I want you to think about your future happiness as a priority.

I'd like you to take some time to reconsider this.

I will not accept an answer from you until one month has passed.

Let's give each other some space.

You may come to find that I'm not that important to you.

No matter what you decide to do one month from now,

I won't forget the kindness you've shown me.

I'll remember it for the rest of my life.

Though we may not end up together,

I'll treasure these feelings forever.

Aunties.

Wichai came to ask our permission.

How should I put it?

It's more like he came to ask us for some advice.

Let's say he was trying to see

whether we would like him

to take responsibility for what happened.

Take responsibility for what exactly?

Did Wichai do something to you

that could be considered inappropriate?

No. Not at all.

Wichai is making a big deal out of nothing.

He doesn't have to take responsibility for me.

Anyway, he would like to know

whether we'd be willing to welcome him into our family.

What did you say to him

to make him chase me away like this?

He said nothing negative about you in his letter.

He is being generous

in letting you reconsider his proposal.

He didn't say it directly,

but I know he's judging me.

That's why he tries to distance himself from me.

What happened is in the past, you can't do anything to fix it.

There's no point worrying about what he thinks of you.

He's only asking you to think things through.

You should try thinking with your head and not your heart for once, Anong.

Sometimes we have to learn to live without the things we want

and learn to endure the things that make us unhappy.

This could be a test for you to learn to control yourself.

If you can't do it,

then that means

you might not be the right person for Wichai.

I won't put up with this.

Are you here about the letter?

I'm here because

I want to talk to you about--

Anong.

Do you want to help me make potpourri?

Anong.

Anong.

Come make potpourri with me.

- Come on. - Okay.

Let's go.

Someone asked me to make potpourri for them as wedding gifts.

So I want to make some for you as well.

Come have a look.

I'm actually drying the flowers.

Wichai.

Isn't your school the sponsor

for this year's fundraising play?

I didn't receive a ticket this year.

Lady Mayom who is part of the Women's Association

must've tried to exclude me.

Back when she wanted Chut to marry her daughter,

she invited me to every social event.

Now that Chut is married,

she couldn't care less about me.

She's taking all the credit when I'm the one making the donation.

I can't believe it.

How could she do this to me? Are you listening to me, Wichai?

I'm listening.

I'm not in Bangkok much, so I probably won't get to go.

I'm very upset about this.

Just calm down.

This is me being calm.

How could she do this to me?

What do you think, Wichai?

- I think you should sit down. - Come sit with me.

I don't understand how things turned out like this.

She's such a horrid woman.

I thought we agreed

not to see each other for a month.

I don't want you to marry me out of some obligation.

Why must you make a big deal out of it?

If I just wanted the thrill of the chase,

I didn't have to chase after a man like you.

There are men who are younger, more sophisticated,

and more stylish than you who are ready to marry me.

You think too little of me.

You think that I pursue you because of fleeting feelings.

Hey.

I never thought that about you.

I just want you to think about this more carefully.

Even now, you think that I'm mean.

That's one aspect of me

that you'll have to live with.

I accept your challenge.

I will go into hibernation.

I won't show my face here for a month.

You just try to stay away from me.

Come on.

This isn't a competition.

I just want you to try to live your life without me.

I've waited for you for this long.

One month

won't make me change my mind.

It's you

who might not be able to stay away from me.

You'll see in 30 days.

One of us will change our mind

and it won't be me.

Watch your step. We're almost there.

Surprise!

What is all this?

It's our honeymoon.

I brought Hua Hin here to you

to save money.

Today, we'll celebrate like we're at a hotel in Hua Hin.

Come have a seat.

What would you like to drink, ma'am?

I'd like some coconut juice since we're at the beach.

Coconut juice? Right away, ma'am.

Please wait a moment.

Gosh.

Will I get to drink my coconut juice today?

I didn't know it would be this hard.

I thought you said you wouldn't let me starve.

Let me do it, city boy.

Wait.

Be careful not to cut yourself.

Just let me do it.

There you go.

How did you do it?

I grew up in the countryside.

A city boy like you can't compete with me.

Whenever I'm with you,

you always make me feel so incompetent.

Let me see.

Let's test your vocabulary.

Energetic and agile.

To find something funny.

To be on one's own.

Loudly.

Full of anger.

Great job.

Why did you circle these words?

Uncle Wichai had me memorize words that are related to my mom.

Those words are easier for me to memorize.

Your uncle taught you these words?

Yes.

He said it's like a game.

This way, I'll be able to memorize the words quickly.

Well then.

How about I teach you some new words today?

Okay.

Let's start with this word.

Do you know what it means?

You're so hardworking.

Shouldn't you be in bed?

Hold on.

Do you know the meaning of the word you're writing?

It means the love of your life.

And do you know what the love of your life means?

It means you.

Aunt Anong taught me words that are related to you.

Why would she teach this to a kid?

Aunt Anong said today is Valentine's Day.

So she's allowed to tell you she loves you.

Are you ready, ma'am?

One, two, three.

That's very beautiful. We're all done.

Is this yours, ma'am? Someone asked me to give it to you.

It's mine.

You can pick up your photograph in three days.

Hey, Wichai. Thank you so much

for getting me a ticket to the play.

It's even a front-row seat.

I know I could count on you.

Please come this way, ma'am.

Thank you so much.

This way, ma'am.

Wichai isn't home. He's in Trang right now.

Trang?

He moved there a while ago to recuperate.

How could he just leave?

Why didn't he tell us?

He has been planning to move there for a while.

I just got a letter from him yesterday.

WICHAI WARATHABUT 152 WISESKUL ROAD, TRANG PROVINCE

Anong.

Master!

Master!

Come down here.

- Sir. - Yes?

Take this contract.

- And give it to the buyer. - Okay.

Have him confirm that he will pay you the agreed price.

- Then you can give him the rice. - Okay.

If he doesn't do as he agreed,

you can take this contract to the court and file a complaint.

Okay. All right.

Give it a read first.

Okay.

Here's an envelope.

Thank you so much. I brought something for you.

It's really good stuff.

Here you go.

You can share it with your helper.

It's really delicious.

Thank you.

Thank you for your help.

Is coming here a mistake?

You haven't made a single baht since you moved here.

Instead of getting to stay in a fancy state residence,

you have to live in this stuffy place.

I can't live in a state residence since I quit my job.

Why would you quit if you still want to take on cases?

I'm not fully recovered yet.

I can't fully commit to my job in this state.

Are you sure you're earning enough to get by?

Hey, Boi.

You've become a snob after spending a while in the city.

Now you're complaining about some small hardships.

Do you want fried fish?

Let's go with fish stew.

Prasit.

Now that I think about Sa-Ang

and how she tried so hard to find herself a man,

she actually reminds me of myself.

If a good man is so hard to find,

I think maybe I don't need to get married.

Prasit.

Why don't we go away somewhere for a while?

Maybe we can go to Hua Hin.

PRA ATTHAKADEE WICHAI

Master.

Master, a new court officer just moved in next door.

Come have a look.

She looks familiar.

Maybe my eyes deceived me.

It's her, right?

How did you get here?

I'm here to give you my answer like I promised.

How did you know I'm here?

If you want to go away,

don't just go to Hua Hin.

Let's go here.

WICHAI WARATHABUT 152 WISESKUL ROAD, TRANG PROVINCE

My gosh.

One month has passed

and I haven't changed my mind.

Why did you run away from me?

I didn't run away from you.

I just wanted you to know that my job requires me to move constantly.

We won't be apart for just one month.

We might not see each other for months.

It's something you have to accept.

I know that.

That's why I came here. This way, we can be together.

Hey.

Will you really stay here?

I don't believe you can live here.

I'm not leaving.

The court will have to fire me to make me leave.

I saw there was a job opening

for a court officer position right here in Trang.

So I took the job

knowing that you're working as a judge here.

I already quit my job.

- You quit your job? - Yes.

Then why are you here if it's not for work?

I came here to recuperate.

All your effort might be in vain.

Prasit.

Prasit.

Hey! Wichai!

Stop unpacking.

You'll be leaving soon.

We're here to try to get you to come back with us.

Listen.

How did you guys get here?

What did you tell your family?

We told them we were vacationing in Hua Hin.

No one knows that we followed you here.

Listen.

You can't lie to everyone like that.

This is a serious matter.

We know it's a serious matter.

We're seriously moving here.

Let me help you.

Please go home. You can't stay here.

Do you want people to say that you ran away with a man?

Come on.

Hey.

You left me no choice since you ran away from me.

If you don't want my reputation to get tarnished…

Here's what you can do.

You and I can get married.

Hold on.

Are you asking me to marry you?

That's right.

This is the only way that we can be together.

Hey.

You know full well

that we can't do that.

Why not?

Because what you're doing isn't love.

You just want to win

because no one has ever rejected you like I did.

You don't want to lose so you refuse to accept the truth.

I think I've heard that before.

If it were a few months ago,

I would've left if you said you didn't like me.

But I'm a changed woman

and I won't run away from you.

If you're not ready,

then it's okay.

We can try

dating each other first.

What?

Do you realize that you're asking for trouble?

Sompong is going to kill me if he finds out about this.

You can't go back on your word.

You said you'd accept my decision no matter what I decide.

We said we'd give each other space.

You didn't do as we agreed.

You didn't either.

I saw you follow me

to the photography studio.

Let me tell you something.

A police officer was going to give you a ticket.

I was just trying to help you.

Is this your car, sir?

Well, I'm very sorry.

The road is a public property.

You can't just park where you please.

Yes, sir.

You couldn't stand to see me in trouble, right?

I see.

You knew I helped you,

so you repaid me

by sending my mom a ticket to the play, right?

Hey, Wichai. Thank you so much

for getting me a ticket to the play.

I know I could count on you.

The ticket was addressed to you, so Mom took it.

WICHAI WARATHABUT

You didn't try to do as we agreed during that one month.

You didn't either.

You asked that beggar to help keep an eye on me.

Most people only give spare change to that beggar.

I'm the only one who likes to give him big notes.

But then,

I saw someone give him money before I did.

Do you remember the car that's always parked here every day?

Yes, I remember.

From now on, can you keep an eye on the lady who owns that car?

She can't drive very well.

I know it was you

who asked that man to help keep an eye on me.

Come park right here, ma'am.

You've never stopped looking out for me.

So how can I stop loving you?

You won't change my mind

no matter how many times you reject me.

I know it has nothing to do with me.

You're rejecting me

because you're still afraid

to let yourself fall in love with someone, right?

You can't change my mind.

Just go home.

What is this?

If you have no feelings for me,

why do you have this picture with you?

I gave this picture of me to your niece.

Why is it here with you?

Do you have these too?

These are the words about me

that you taught your niece.

Aunt Anong is kind like an angel.

Well then.

How about A for Angel?

Aung Anong is also pretty.

She's beautiful.

These are the words that Uncle Wichai picked to describe you.

He said you make him want to cuddle you.

You're lively and you live in a big house like a princess.

Uncle Wichai also said you're very lovely

and that you're gorgeous.

You're very chatty

and you're a charming person.

He also said that you are

a confident person.

Gosh.

Thank you

for letting me know how you feel about me.

Stop trying to fool yourself

that you have no feelings for me.

PRA ATTHAKADEE WICHAI

Master!

We have a problem.

It's really bad.

The power went out. We couldn't see anything.

Why didn't you light some candles?

We couldn't find any matchsticks.

It was so dark that we couldn't even see our own hands.

It was pitch black like we were in a cave.

I also heard the sound of some animal crying.

But you still managed to find your way here.

Very well then.

You two can stay over at my house tonight.

Don't you see she's trying to seduce you?

You can't run away from us.

We'll follow you everywhere.

We'll always be there even in your dreams.

Move!

Get out of the way!

I'll go buy you some food.

You didn't have to shout.

Your family must be worried about you.

No one was worried about me when I was living abroad.

Being in a boarding school is different from living on your own like this.

Do you remember what I wrote in the guidebook about myself?

You must live with someone

in order to get to know them.

You can see someone's true colors only after you have a fight with them.

I'm not worried about us fighting.

I know we can get past it.

But when it comes to spending a few days living together,

I'm not sure we can do that.

If we try dating each other

and things don't work out between us,

will you be okay with that?

In Western cultures, people don't just date each other.

They actually try living together before they get married.

You don't actually plan on doing that, right?

Come on, Wichai.

Are you scared it will be inappropriate?

I'm not asking you to commit murder.

It isn't even against the law.

Anong.

Come look at this.

TRANG'S ROASTED PORK

- Anong, look. - Hello.

Look at these turtles, Anong.

What can I get you?

Well, I'd like two cups of coffee and some fried dough sticks.

They're so adorable.

Are they tasty?

Here you go.

I'll go buy some roasted pork.

Look at these, Wichai.

They're adorable.

These are called Ang Ku Kueh.

They are red tortoise cakes.

Hey.

You're a lady. You need to be more careful

when you're out in public.

Are you listening to me?

I don't see any danger here.

Everyone seems friendly.

Here's the food you ordered.

Two cups of coffee and fried dough sticks.

And here.

A gentleman bought you coffee. He said you're pretty.

I see.

Thank you.

He's a stranger.

Don't be too friendly with him.

I don't want to be rude.

Stop flirting with him.

You'll get yourself in trouble.

I've always been flirty,

but this is the first time that you got jealous.

It finally worked.

Hey.

Is it so hard for you

to not flirt around?

Hello. Would you like to buy some fruit?

Look at these mangoes.

- Would you like some? - You want one, Anong?

- Can I have a bite? - Sure.

Thank you.

Do you like it?

- How much is it? - It's okay.

The mirror looks pretty with you. You can have it for free.

Just take it.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You don't have to worry that I'll have a difficult time here.

I already feel at home after being here for a day.

She only complimented you to be polite.

Those compliments only show that these people are kind-hearted.

Don't let the praise get to your head.

Don't you think at least one of those compliments is true?

When people call you pretty,

they only say that to make you feel good.

But if they say that

you're very beautiful

or that you're very lovely,

you can tell that those compliments come from the heart.

When people praise you to make you feel good,

it's not the same as when they truly mean what they say.

What are you saying? I don't understand what you mean.

If you want to stay here,

your presence here should serve some kind of purpose.

If you can get the people here

to give you five compliments with the word "very" in them,

then I'll believe that you truly belong here.

Only five compliments?

You're really underestimating me.

But they must come from the heart and have the word "very" in them.

If you receive five compliments like that,

we'll get married and live here together.

You'll marry me?

You cannot take that back.

I won't.

Just don't give up too easily.

It doesn't count if people only say that you're pretty or sweet.

I can easily get five people to compliment me.

You might be one of those five people to compliment me.

Doesn't she look pretty?

How pretty do I look?

You look pretty.

But how pretty?

You're pretty.

We'll take this sarong.

All right.

Let me help you.

Thank you so much.

Doing that won't get you compliments.

I'd like to buy all of these, please.

Do you want to buy all of them?

My gosh.

You've got good eyes, pretty lady.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Here's your money.

Thank you, sir.

How thankful are you?

- Well… - What?

Get used to it.

You need to learn to handle disappointment.

It will make you tougher.

Prasit.

Prasit.

Ma'am, are you all right?

I'm okay.

Let me buy all of these to make it up to you.

Considering the nature of the defendant's action,

the defendant committed an unreasonably dangerous act.

I therefore sentence him to three years of imprisonment.

Thank you so much, miss.

What are these snacks? They look so appetizing.

They're toasted coconut flakes. They're Trang's local sweets.

- Would you like all of them? - Yes, ma'am.

Thank you so much.

Do you have other sweets?

Do you know this woman?

I was the judge who presided over her case.

I'm ashamed for handing someone a prison sentence

when they didn't deserve it and I just got away with it.

It wasn't your fault.

You're very sweet.

What did you say?

You deserve compliments when you do nice things

without expecting anything in return.

People already think badly of me

that my wife still has to work.

I want to pick you up every day so people can't say

that I don't take care of you.

I don't know what else to do. You're the only one who can help me.

Someone will die if you don't stop them.

Everyone is equal in the court of law.

The justice system was created to provide everyone justice.

The court asked you to come because there's a witness from Penang.

Do you remember what time the incident occurred?

Do you know any of the people involved in this case?
