Original subtitles

BASED ON A NOVEL BY DOK MAI SOD

The defendant who represents Chamnankan Construction Company

was found to be negligent of his duties and must be held liable.

He must pay the plaintiff compensation for the damage he caused.

Someone broke in last night.

Does it have to do with the case?

Maybe they are trying to get back at us.

Don't tell Anong about this. Just keep an eye on things for now.

I'll make everyone jealous of you for having the best partner.

You'll have the best wife a man could ask for.

I can handle everything that I've read about you.

Then that means we can spend our lives together.

Are you asking me to marry you?

Can you go wait for me in Bangkok?

If we're to get married, I want to do it right according to traditions.

You have to promise me that we'll live together

once we're married.

I refuse to be away from you.

- How's the food? - I haven't tried it.

We're just about to eat.

- Here comes the food. - It's about time.

- It looks delicious. - Let's eat, everyone.

- Here you go. - I want to try everything.

Hey.

Just so you know.

I had no part in planning this surprise wedding.

You can't say I forced your hand.

I know our wedding should be grander for a woman of your status.

Let's eat.

Everyone here is happy for us.

I still don't know

whether anyone back home will be happy for us like these people.

That's true.

Who knows how our families will react?

Everyone here sees us as part of their community.

That's why they organized this wedding for us.

This means that

we probably won't be able

to settle down anywhere else.

We'll have to make this place our home.

I'm going to throw you another wedding anyway

even if you're not asking me to.

You'll have the best wedding that I can give you.

I promise.

Hey.

You should go into the bedroom.

- Yes. - That's right.

Just go to your bedroom.

You must wait for the right time according to ancient tradition.

After the wedding ceremony,

the bride and groom must abstain from physical intimacy.

You must keep this bowl on the bed between you until three days have passed.

I see.

All right, then.

Can you wait that long, Wichai?

Actually, you two have been living together for a while.

This probably won't be necessary.

Wait, ma'am. I'd rather follow the tradition.

You don't need this.

Have some water.

All taken care of.

- Here. - Hey!

They threw away the bowl.

Give me your hand, Wichai.

- All right. - Can I have your hand, dear?

I wish you two a long and happy marriage.

May you two be together until you're old and grey

with lots of kids and grandchildren.

Hey. Prasit.

- Come on out. - Right.

I hope you have kids soon.

This is my home now.

What are you doing?

There will be no wedding

until I get permission from your family.

If we get married without telling your family,

I'll be disrespecting them and you.

Do you mean the wedding today doesn't count?

I just don't want your family to know we're living here together

and think we did anything inappropriate.

Anong.

You should go back to Bangkok like we talked about.

You're so old-fashioned.

I am.

I want us to legally register our marriage before we live together,

so we both have nothing to hide from our families.

So I guess we're not married.

But…

can we have our honeymoon now?

Everyone here organized a wedding for us.

It would be rude if I left right away.

At least let me stay for another two weeks until the festival.

I want to help out

to thank everyone for throwing us a wedding today.

We can sleep in separate rooms.

In two weeks,

you'll probably have all your cases sorted out.

We both can go home together after that.

I promise I won't tell anyone

that I ran away to Trang to be with you.

Will you two be all right by yourselves?

Anong just told me she'll stay until the festival next month.

I hope nothing bad happens in the meantime.

I heard that Thian-chai lost a lot of business since the trial.

I was afraid he'd send someone to cause trouble today.

Carry this with you if you're worried.

If anyone comes to mess with you,

shoot the gun into the sky

and I'll come right away.

If Anong finds out that we're being terrorized,

she will never go back to Bangkok.

Hey.

Why haven't you showered?

I'm not really used to

sharing my bathroom with anyone.

The bathroom is a mess.

One of the guests must've come to smoke in here.

If you want me

to go wash myself outside, I don't think I can do that either.

Am I being too fussy?

Not at all.

It's no big deal.

Don't worry. I'll clean up the mess.

Thank you.

We can celebrate our wedding night right here.

What's taking him so long?

Huh?

The bathroom looks clean.

Don't tell me

you're trying to practice abstinence.

Are you meditating?

Hey.

- Gosh. - My gosh.

I'm sorry.

- Wichai. - The mosquito net fell down.

I see. My gosh.

- That's my leg, Wichai. - Right.

What are you looking for?

I'm sorry. My bad.

- Hold on. - My gosh!

Wichai.

Don't move. Just stay still.

Be gentle, Wichai.

Scoot over a little.

It's getting hot in here.

I'm trying my best.

What are you doing?

It's late.

Well…

The mosquito net fell down.

That's all.

That's all that happened.

We weren't doing anything.

Are you sure about that?

- Prasit. - Wichai, wait.

Your pants.

Prasit.

Prasit.

Wait.

Is something wrong? Why are you here so early?

- Let me-- - No!

What do you mean it's early? It's late.

I want to explain about earlier.

It was really nothing. We were just…

Wait.

How did you get in here?

Wasn't the door locked?

The door was open, so I thought you guys were up.

Did you guys celebrate your wedding night here?

I didn't know you knew how to cook.

You make me feel like a bad girlfriend.

Well…

I want to make up for falling asleep last night.

I usually go to bed

about the same time you get up to go give alms.

I'm going to try to wake up early from now on.

Why do you have to do that? You can get up whenever you want.

What is it?

I…

I'm afraid that I won't be able to measure up to what you had before.

I saw that you still keep a picture of your late wife.

I can't help comparing myself to her.

I can't help but think whether you would be

happier than you are now

if you had your ex-wife or Chantorn here with you instead of me.

I know it's stupid, but…

I really can't help thinking about it.

I made my ex-wife so miserable

that she committed suicide.

Your ex-wife was prevented from contacting you.

Your mom tried to get her out of your life.

That's why she was heartbroken.

It wasn't your fault.

If she got to be with me,

she might be even more unhappy.

I was a lousy husband to her.

You didn't show her that you loved her.

If you'd shown her that,

she wouldn't have been able to leave you.

Please don't blame yourself.

Why do you think that you're boring?

Since I was a kid,

Chut has always been the one that people remember.

As for me,

people only know me as Chut's brother.

That's because you don't like to talk about yourself

and you don't talk about others.

But that doesn't mean you're invisible.

My family loves it

when you come to our house.

They always ask about you

when they don't see you around.

Besides,

you're the topic of every conversation I hear.

It surprises me

how popular you are.

Wichai.

Every day that I spend with you is extraordinary.

So how can you say you're boring?

Do you know something?

I used to believe that I would live a short life like my dad.

But after I recovered from my illness,

I'm starting to feel like my life will be happy

from here on out.

I also feel like my life is finally worth living

now that we're together.

We wasted so much time on things that didn't matter.

It's your fault.

You took forever to know your own heart.

I promise I'll make it up to you.

We're going to spend the rest of our lives together.

We have plenty of time.

It should spin like that.

Is this the right side? Okay.

All right.

Put it up slowly.

Be careful.

Anong! Wichai!

Wait. Come look at this.

Isn't it pretty?

The whole thing was my idea.

Doesn't it look nice?

The wind wheel up there can spin too.

Like this.

We haven't had any visitors.

People know that we're on our honeymoon.

They probably don't want to disturb us.

Be careful.

I don't have any cases to work on, so I have time on my hands.

Time passes by so slowly

on our honeymoon.

A day seems to drag on forever.

It's probably because

we're just sitting around doing nothing.

It's because this isn't a real honeymoon.

We still have to wait.

Right.

Do you want a bite?

It looks good.

You sure know how to take care of others.

I usually have to peel fruit for my niece.

I want to learn how to do it.

Be careful.

Don't hold the knife like that.

Hold it like this.

- Right. - Well…

I…

I just remembered that I have

to organize some documents.

- Is that so? - Yes.

Did I pick up the chair? Yes, I did.

All right. I'll clean up here.

Okay.

I'll clean everything up.

All right.

Chut is so in love. Chantorn is all he wrote about.

I didn't know that he was so obsessed with his wife.

Well…

You should tell him about your love life too.

That's asking for trouble. Do you want us to get caught?

Can I see what you wrote?

I want to see you brag about me to people.

Hey.

You know that I don't like to brag to people

about my life.

Can't you write a few sentences about me to make Chut jealous?

Please?

Fine.

All right.

What should I write about you that won't raise suspicion?

I'll help you.

Let me see what you wrote.

Well?

Wichai.

You wrote about me in every paragraph.

What? Now wait a minute.

When did I write about you?

You wrote about the eagles.

You told him about the wedding. Whose wedding was it?

Come on. I just wrote that I went to a friend's wedding.

You also wrote about the island that we went to together.

I'm all that you think about.

You can't stop thinking about me.

You're obviously obsessed with me.

You're imagining it. It's all in your head.

Do you think I'm being obvious?

- Let me rewrite it. - No. Don't.

It's good the way it is.

It's great.

Don't change anything.

I'll keep this letter,

so I remember how obsessed you were with me when we first fell in love.

I'll help you

write a new letter for Chut.

Start writing.

- What should I write? - "Hey, Chut.

Last night, I had a dream about Anong."

HEY, CHUT

Is she a clean freak or something?

How often does she shower?

Just leave the laundry there if you don't want to do it.

I'll do it myself.

You're spoiling her.

You're even worse

than a love-crazed teenager.

If you love her,

then I'll be supportive.

Here.

You newlyweds.

You can't take your eyes off each other.

I have to make sure no one's here to hurt us.

That's just an excuse.

Just admit you want to be near her.

Hey.

I dropped the spade.

Come on. Get up.

Let me do it.

Last time, I taught you to weave a shawl for your husband.

Today, I'll teach you

to weave fabric for your son.

Okay. Which color of yarn should I use?

This one.

I haven't had a chance to congratulate you.

Will we hear good news from you soon?

What good news?

You're already married, so kids are the next step.

I thought you were weaving fabric for your son.

No.

Are you here to weave?

Will I hear good news from you?

No. I'm actually here to see you.

Do you know

how jealous I am of you?

You're a department store heiress,

but you ran away here to be with a man.

You're free to live the way you want.

It's different for me.

If my husband gets convicted,

I'll have to move to Penang with him.

Evidence to shut down the mine?

There's proof that Thian-chai committed tax fraud.

He falsified the amount of ore that was mined

to reduce his taxes.

Someone sent me these documents to expose him.

Who sent you these?

I don't know.

All I know is that

this person wants me to help them take Thian-chai down.

Someone really wants

to take down the mayor and his son-in-law

while remaining anonymous.

Are you going to do as this person wants?

Though I know they're corrupt,

I have no personal grudge against the mayor and Thian-chai.

I want to get rid of the corruption here,

but I have to think whether it's worth the risk.

I'm not worried for myself.

But I don't want to also put you at risk.

Is this the reason why

you want me to go back to Bangkok?

No matter where I'm stationed,

I'm always at risk of being terrorized by those whom I've crossed.

But now that I have you, I have to think about your safety.

I know that you're worried about me,

but I don't want you to decide anything for me.

We should be making decisions together,

not making decisions for each other.

We'll decide together what we're going to do about this.

First of all, we need to find out who this person is

and whether they mean us well.

Wichai, can I try that?

- Sure. - What are they?

They're rice balls wrapped in palm leaves.

Wichai.

She's right there.

Should we just go and ask her about the documents?

- Come on. - Anong.

Let's wait.

Let's wait for her to show her true colors.

Anong.

Look at this.

Give it a try.

Wait.

- Gosh. - Anong.

That's disgusting, Prasit.

- Is it really that bad? - Yes.

Are you pregnant?

She just ate something bad. It's not morning sickness.

I'll bring the baby to meet everyone at the festival in October.

You'll give people the wrong idea.

Why would you say that?

People think we're married. This won't make us look bad.

You said October, right?

- Do I hang them on the hook? - Yes.

Does this festival help bring rain?

Not exactly.

The festival is believed to help bring prosperity to the community

and help strengthen harmony between villages.

I see.

Don't think too much about it. Let's just have fun.

Have fun?

Just don't go beat up anyone if you lose.

What? Will people fight?

This is about pride. We can't lose to the other team.

All right, Boi. Let's do this.

Let's go.

You can stay in front of me.

You got this, Wichai.

Come on, guys. Let's work together.

- Yes! - All right!

Keep pulling!

Pull!

- Gosh! - I knew this would happen.

- No! - Prasit!

Prasit!

Prasit!

Your head is bleeding!

That's the bastard.

Wichai.

Prasit.

- Boi! Get over here! - Prasit.

Prasit.

Prasit, can you hear me?

I'm right here. Prasit.

Please wake up.

Are you in a lot of pain, Prasit? Why won't you wake up?

He's awake.

Prasit.

Don't be scared.

You're safe now.

My head hurts.

Prasit.

You cracked your head.

Are you hurt anywhere else?

Pong.

Pong?

What is he doing here?

Do you think you're playing hide-and-seek?

Have you had enough fun?

Does someone have to die before you come to your senses?

Sompong, wait. Goodness!

- Anong. - Young lady.

You're pregnant. You need to watch your step.

You lied to me that you were in Hua Hin

when you were actually here with a man.

What are you playing at, Anong?

I just came here to set things straight with Wichai.

Are you afraid no one will want to marry you?

Is that why you chase after this guy?

I already thought things through before coming here.

Wichai can't even protect you.

It was his fault

that Prasit almost died.

That wasn't Wichai's fault.

Someone's trying to hurt him.

You're making a mistake, Anong.

A man like him can't take care of you.

I don't see how this is Wichai's fault.

Why should I regret anything?

Anong.

His bluntness makes him the enemy of everyone.

He got you to think

that he's so much better than everybody else.

His arrogance is the reason someone is trying to kill him.

He'll never get anywhere in life.

It's why he's stuck here.

Wichai is just a victim who's being terrorized by evil people.

I love him for the person he is.

I won't blame anyone even if it turns out I made a wrong decision.

I won't regret anything.

- Anong. - It's my choice to be with this man.

You have to go home. It's not safe here.

You're not afraid to be here, so I'll stay here with you.

We can't change the world by ourselves. These things take time.

You should take Prasit to recover at home.

Catch the person behind this

and follow me home soon.

I appreciate your concern.

But I'd feel worse if someone got hurt because of me.

Anong.

You don't have to defend me anymore.

What I did was wrong and I'll go apologize to your family.

I'm already so grateful that you lowered yourself to be with me.

Come on.

We can't live in the world with just the two of us.

If we live as we please without caring about who we hurt or disappoint,

then it's us who are the selfish ones.

Your family is also my family.

What they think matters to me.

Our parents never let you suffer a day in your life.

How do you think they would feel

if they saw their dearest daughter

just throw her life away?

The police still can't find the shooter.

They will keep an eye on Thian-chai and his men as suspects.

He sent a man to kill you right at the festival.

Who does he think he is?

We're lucky everyone is safe.

People were gossiping at the market

that no one in his family came to the festival.

It's like they knew there would be a shooting.

If Thian-chai really sent someone to kill you,

I hope karma catches up with him.

He needs to be locked up behind bars.

KANTANG TRAIN STATION

Hello.

This is my wife.

- Thank you so much. - You're welcome.

Was it difficult to get here?

Not at all. Thank you for asking.

Let me know if I can help with anything.

Thank you so much.

KANTANG TRAIN STATION

I hope we'll get to see each other again.

Did you tell Pong that I'm here?

We're both in the same position. Why would I do that?

The police still can't find the shooter.

But they caught Thian-chai's driver

who was in contact with the shooter.

So it was really Thian-chai who hired the gunman?

Eiam confessed he knew the shooter, but he didn't help him escape.

He said he'll help the police catch the guy.

He said the shooter was hired to kill Thian-chai's wife, not you.

Anong.

What are you doing here? Aren't you leaving?

I know who sent you the documents about the mine.

She wants us to help her get rid of Thian-chai.

Because if we can put Thian-chai in jail,

she will have her freedom.

And this person is Thian-chai's wife?

Yes.

She told me that she was forced to marry Thian-chai.

They didn't get married because of love.

That kid isn't his legitimate son.

And that woman is only his mistress.

This is his wife.

Thian-chai married his wife to gain power and influence.

He blamed her for not being able to give him children.

Then he cheated on her

with countless women.

His wife gave the documents about the mine to the mayor.

But since Thian-chai is the one running the family business,

the mayor let the matter slide.

He turned a blind eye to Thian-chai's corruption

and helped cover up his crimes.

Once Thian-chai knew his wife tried to expose him,

he hired someone to kill her.

He knows the mayor needs him

more than he needs his daughter.

About what happened yesterday,

the gunman wasn't sent there to kill us.

Thian-chai got Sompong involved so he could get rid of us.

That day when Thian-chai's wife came to talk to me,

she tried to give me a warning.

She tried to warn me that Pong was on his way here.

She probably wants us as allies.

She wants us to help her fight back and put her husband in jail.

Thian-chai actually tried to get his driver

to be the one to kill his wife.

But the driver refused to do it,

so he had to hire a gunman.

- Gosh! - I knew this would happen.

- No! - Prasit!

Prasit.

Prasit.

That's the bastard!

Yesterday, Eiam knew that a gunman was coming to kill me.

He was going to make it look like

a fight broke out between two villages.

So Eiam sneaked me out of there.

Wichai.

She's right there.

He had a woman pretend to be me

to lure the gunman to the festival.

Anong.

Let's wait.

Let's wait for her to show her true colors.

You're not safe here.

Once Thian-chai knew that Eiam saved me,

he threatened to tell everyone

that Eiam and I were having an affair.

He said he was going to divorce me.

My reputation will be destroyed.

Even my own father will want nothing to do with me.

That's why I'm in this state.

Men like to decide how we women should live our lives.

But few of them are willing to get hurt for us.

If you find someone like that, don't ever let him go.

How many times do I have to tell you?

I didn't try to kill her.

Where were you during the incident?

I was at the market.

Anong.

Did you come here to tell me this?

Thian-chai's wife wanted me to ask you

if you would help her file a divorce against her husband.

I think I should go back to Bangkok.

I don't want you to deal with your family on your own.

All along,

you've always been the one to stand up for me.

It's time for me to go back and face the problems myself.

Prasit.

Where is Anong?

What?

Where is Anong?

I don't know.

Don't tell me she ran back to Wichai.

You're so useless.

Go and find Anong. Bring her back here to me.

Yes, sir.

KANTANG TRAIN STATION

Where have you been?

The police now know that the gunman didn't try to shoot Wichai.

He wasn't the reason that Prasit got hurt.

So you're just going to stay here

until someone actually comes for you?

I'm going back with you.

But not before he brings someone here to justice.

I won't make him stay with me.

Wichai.

Help give a new life to a woman who's lost hope.

Please help her get away from that horrible man.

That's what's most important right now.

Why are you doing this?

I'll come back here after we get married.

Please prove to me

that I've chosen the right guy.

Don't just assume things.

I never said I'd let Anong marry you.

Can I have a word with you?

I don't know what caused us to have a falling-out.

You really don't know?

I asked you to help look out for Anong,

but you ended up taking her for yourself.

I know you want Anong to be with a better man than me.

You took advantage of her.

I swear on my life that we didn't do anything inappropriate.

Yet you let Anong stay with you for months

and did God knows what with her.

It's fine if you don't believe me.

But show some respect when you talk about your sister.

It just feels personal how you try to get me out of Anong's life.

I don't like how you made the guys in her life look like jerks.

You even turned against your own brother

and made him look like a fool in Anong's eyes.

And now you're making me look like the bad guy.

I won't let you turn my family against each other.

Let me tell you something.

I've never even told Anong about you and Prapat.

She wouldn't mind even if I told her.

She would understand.

Leave Prapat out of this.

There's nothing shameful about your love.

But you're trying to hide your faults by projecting them onto me.

That's what you should be ashamed of.

The truth is, we should be able to love whoever we want.

A girl like Anong showed us that.

Don't make your sister think of you as another lousy man in her life.

Is everything all right?

"The beautiful socialist is having a shotgun wedding

after getting knocked up."

I knew that girl was up to no good.

I'm marrying Anong.

Are you going to take responsibility for the baby?

Just wait until the baby is born.

Then we'll see whether the baby really is Wichai's.

If the baby takes after his father,

I know he will have good manners.

I haven't heard from Wichai in a few days.

There's a storm in Trang.

The waves are huge.

He's probably lost at sea somewhere.

We still haven't heard from Wichai. We can't contact anyone.

All we can do is pray for his safety.

He's a scumbag for leaving Anong

to carry his baby.

No matter what happens, please know that I love you.

It's okay, Anong.
