NEW YORK CITY

Your breakfast is ready ma'am.

I'm coming.

Wow, it looks so yummy.

The cook or the food?

Both.

Cool. Freshly prepared.

Rice topped with salmon, avocado and Sriracha sauce.

The way you like it.

My favorite dish.

I'll dig in now.

That's the best.

Give me a kiss as payment.

Mind,

I've got a new dish and I want you to try it.

- Here it is - An avocado?

How is that new?

Just try it out baby.

Alright.

This new dish is called "let's get married".

I love you so much.

I love you too.

Here you are. Vitamin D3, 3000 IU

- Ok. Thank you. - Have a nice day.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

Yes Mom. I was about to call you too.

Guess what I'm about to tell you.

You have to help me and your father.

Help you? To do what? Are you alright?

Can you come back from America sooner?

But my graduation ceremony is next month,

and you guys promised me that you would come to the ceremony.

We won't be going anymore honey.

Can you skip the ceremony?

We have problems.

- Are you talking to her? - Darling.

Mind, ignore what your mom said.

- I've got to go. - Dad.

Dad.

What?

Pas.

Mind.

Congratulations, the bride-to-be.

- Ann, hello - Hello. Congratulations!

Pas has just told me the good news.

I was thinking of having your wedding reception here.

In the middle here, we can place two long tables.

This space can handle 50 guests easily. What do you think?

Thank you Ann. I'll just need a minute with Pas.

- Go on. - Thank you.

Pas, we have to talk.

Goodness.

What's wrong? What's up with the long face?

I have to go back to Thailand as soon as I can.

I don't think I'll be here for the graduation.

Oh.

Why?

Mom called me at noon.

She said they're in trouble.

But I didn't find out what it was.

Dad butted in angrily and hung up.

I called back and there was no answer.

Both of them.

I think there must be something going on.

Pas,

let's go back to Thailand together.

What's with the face?

Pas.

Don't tell me that this whole time we've been together,

you never thought of moving back to Thailand.

I mean, we're already happy here.

But I have to go home anyway.

My parents only have me.

Pas.

You have issues at home, don't you?

That's why you never told me anything about your family.

If we cannot trust each other on this simple matter,

how can we make it as a family?

You proposed to me.

We are going to live together.

If you don't share your problems with me,

how will I be able to help you?

It's terrible Mind.

You're better off not knowing.

How terrible?

Pas,

if you keep me in the dark, how can I help you?

No one can help me.

About my family,

it's better you don't know.

When I was six years old,

I woke up in the middle of the night

because I was really scared of thunder.

I jumped off my bed

and ran to my mother's bedroom for comfort

like I used to.

But when I got to her room,

what I saw was…

my mother

in bed

with my own uncle.

After that, my father

had an accident.

He died in a car crash.

Then my mother married

my uncle.

They had a kid together.

- Pas, listen to me. - Mom, I don't want to go to America.

Come with me.

You don't love me anymore? That's why you're sending me away.

Pas.

Pas, honey. Pas.

Take him away.

- Mom. - Pas.

Let me go.

Mom.

Mom.

Take him away.

Yes Sir.

- Let's go Pas. - Pas.

Come on. Please.

- Come on. - Mom.

Help me Mom.

Help me.

So I was sent here.

Initially, I…

would try to call my mother.

But she never answered.

I was chased away and I grew up with loneliness.

Eventually I got used to being all by myself.

One day,

I heard that my mother

and her new family were coming to Boston on vacation.

I couldn't help it.

So I went to see her.

Don't you think it's actually better to stay at our apartment?

I'm on to you. You want to be near some chicks.

Unbelievable.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

I don't think she wants to see you.

Isn't that clear enough?

Take my advice.

Don't ever try to find her again.

That made me realize…

that she hated me.

She didn't want to see me anymore.

Since then I changed my last name.

So I could be a new person

and wouldn't have anything to do with them.

But in reality…

- I… - That's enough Pas.

That's enough.

You don't need to say anymore.

Can you wait a bit? I'm making an egg sandwich

so you can eat it at the airport.

All my things are packed and boxed.

Please see to it that they are shipped to me.

Mind,

actually you didn't need to pack everything,

because you have to bring them back again.

I don't know when I can come back.

But I can wait for you.

You can take all the time you need to deal with your family's problems.

If things clear up,

I think I have to remain there.

My family and my life belong there.

What…

what about me?

You said yes to me,

and we'll get married.

Can't you come back so we can be together?

I understand everything Pas.

I totally get it. What you had to go through as a child was horrible.

And it must be difficult for you

to accept it and go back to Thailand.

But it was so long ago Pas.

And now you're capable.

You launched your own career.

We can be together without them.

If you cannot free yourself from it,

the one who suffers the most is you.

But I will never be able to forget it.

You will Pas. You must.

If we put in enough effort…

I swear

I will help you move on.

Please Pas.

Promise me.

What if I fail,

we…

we have to break up?

Mind?

I wouldn't want that either.

Take your time to think

and let me know when you're ready.

Mind.

Pas,

I don't want you to commit or force you to do anything.

If we love one another enough,

we will be reunited.

Dad. Mom.

I'm home.

Where are they?

Dad? Mom?

Mind, my baby.

Mom.

I missed you so much.

I really missed you Mom.

I missed you so badly.

Thank you for coming back.

Where's Dad?

Are you guys still fighting?

No, it's not that.

There will be a gathering at the Ministry tonight.

So he's there to arrange things.

I thought I would wait for you and we could go together.

You know he was awarded the organization's Best Leadership.

- Really? - Yes. You go freshen up first.

Mom, what you said on the phone. What was that all about?

I think we should talk about it with Dad tonight.

Alright?

Mind, I cooked plenty of your favorites.

Let me go set up the table.

Okay.

LEADERSHIP AWARD CEREMONY

Just consider the timing.

Dad.

Oh, Mind.

- What's up honey? - Good evening.

How are you? Jet-lagged?

A little bit.

Oh…

- Uncle Tor, good evening. How are you? - Hello.

- I'm great. - I didn't get to attend Pleng's wedding.

But I saw photos on Facebook. Very nice.

That's alright. We're familiar faces.

Your father keeps bragging

that you finished your Master's with first-class honors.

Indeed.

If I didn't do well, surely I'd be scolded by Mr. Secretary.

- May I take a family photo? - Sure.

- Of course. - Yes.

- Go ahead. Take a photo. - Come. Okay.

Good evening. You're well?

Good evening.

Sir, they are over there.

Good evening Mr. Secretary.

I must congratulate you

for winning the Best Leadership Award,

Dr. Pramote.

And this must be…

Mind.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

As pretty as they say.

I'm Thana.

This is Teetouch, my son.

I heard you graduated in Pharmacy.

Yes. That's right.

What a smart girl.

Would you like to work with me?

My pharmaceutical company happens to need more help right now.

I don't think my daughter will go and work with you.

Mind, stay right here will you?

Your mom and I

have something to discuss with Mr. Thana in my office.

- Sure. - Okay. Please.

Tee, you can stay and chitchat with Mind.

Make your acquaintance with her.

Dad.

Stay here.

I'll be right back.

Already hungry?

Uncle Tor.

I could use some food too.

It looks tasty.

Uncle Tor, who is this Mr. Thana?

Why did everybody act strange when he arrived?

You see, he is the owner of Wachara Biotech.

A large pharmaceutical firm,

and has long been a supplier of medicines for public hospitals nationwide.

And when your father

took up the Secretary position at the Ministry,

your father canceled all his contracts

as his medicines are low in quality

and are pricier than others.

Dad is so cool.

Mr. Minister.

- Good evening. - Good evening.

- Mr. Permanent Secretary - It's Mr. Thana.

Please sit down.

- I can sit here? - Yes.

When did you arrive?

- What would you like to drink? - I've got one.

I have a nice bottle of wine in my car. I'll go get it.

Dad.

Where's Mom?

She's light-headed, so she wants to rest a bit in my office.

Are you okay?

Excuse me Sir.

You have to be on standby at the stage now.

Wait for me here. I'll be right back.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to the Leadership Award Ceremony

for the organization's Best Leadership 2024.

Please join me in welcoming the Secretary-General of the Ministry,

Prof. Dr. Pramote Janekitpong to the stage to receive the award.

Please also welcome the Minister to bestow the award.

Dad is on the stage. You should come down now.

Thank you, Mr. Minister.

I'd like to ask Mr. Secretary to say something.

Thank you everyone. This Leadership Award

was bestowed upon me, thanks to my great colleagues and team members.

Thank you everyone who trusts me

and has been working hard for our organization all along.

We are at the forefront of Thai people's well-being.

DAD IS ON THE STAGE. YOU SHOULD COME DOWN NOW.

I would like to see that all of us uphold integrity,

endure the injustice

and fight against exploiters,

so that Thai people can live well

and live a long life.

I will do my best to fulfill my duties.

What is bad and unjust,

I will make sure to fix.

Even though it may not be possible today,

I will see to it that I succeed in time to come.

And I will never give up.

What's going on?

Mom!

Mom. Mom.

- Mom. - Kanya.

Can someone call an ambulance?

- Kanya. Mind, stand back. - Mom!

- Kanya. - Dad!

Kanya.

The ambulance is here Sir.

This way.

- Mrs. Kanya. - Mom.

Excuse me.

Happy anniversary Baby.

Thank you.

I promise

that I will make you smile like this,

and bigger and bigger the more years we are together.

If we love one another enough

we will be reunited.

Are you up?

We made your favorite dish today, steamed crab rice.

Wow.

Looks great. I miss it.

I thought you enjoyed your chef's cooking so much you forgot about my cooking.

Happy Birthday Mind.

I saw you on Facebook.

I'm glad

that you're so loved.

I wish only good things to come your way,

and that you are loved by everyone around you forever.

I love you.

Come home soon.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR GRADUATION DAY

Congratulations on your graduation day,

my beloved daughter.

We investigated the crime scene

and didn't find any signs of struggle or anything suspicious.

Just the one letter from Mrs. Kanya

on your table.

Here it is.

I'm sorry I got us into trouble.

Please take care of Mind for me.

I'm sorry Mind

I love you both more than myself.

I don't believe that my mother committed suicide.

Sir?

Have you looked into what I said,

that I saw someone's shadow when my mother fell from the rooftop?

We tried to find out more

and found two CCTV cameras right there,

but both are broken.

How could it be possible

that both cameras are broken at the same time?

More importantly, we have questioned a witness.

She is a cleaning lady in that building.

On that day

she saw the deceased go up to the rooftop alone.

That cannot be. I really saw someone's shadow up there.

But we didn't find any signs of a struggle on the rooftop.

If there are any updates, we'll let you know.

I need to be excused now.

Thank you very much.

That's impossible. You must reinvestigate.

Mind,

let the officers go for now.

- But dad… - Excuse us.

Dad, someone must have attacked mom

and got rid of all the evidence.

If I hadn't believed she had a headache and left her alone there,

this wouldn't have happened.

Why do you think she committed suicide?

Was there a reason?

Or…

What are you guys up against exactly?

Thana conned Mom into taking bribes

in order to blackmail me.

ONE MONTH EARLIER

A new car for the new Secretary…

Think of it as a ministerial car.

It's not in any way your job

to buy me a car for official use.

It's totally not necessary.

Perhaps you don't like this model.

To compromise your principles.

Is that enough?

I just want medicines from my company

to be relisted

in the national List of Essential Medicines like before.

Your medicines did not meet quality requirements.

Many of them carry hefty price tags,

despite their severe lack of efficacy.

As long as it's under my watch,

I'll not stand by to see our people suffer

because of your cruddy medicines.

Our fellow spiritual practitioners and I,

we've all agreed

that we are in favor of opening a central bank account.

We talked it through and came to a conclusion

that Mrs. Kanya is the most trusted person.

What is this central bank account?

An account which allows everyone to make merit together

for our Buddhist retreat facility.

We would like you

to open the bank account for us.

I mean,

why don't you use the name of the facility as an account name?

We wouldn't like that the donations are limited to this facility.

So it is open for everyone.

Please can you help us?

ACCOUNT NAME: MRS. KANYA JANEKITPONG

This is…

the account for donations that I opened with Prae.

Prae is a marketing officer

at a pharmaceutical company that you have business deals with, right?

Yes.

I've never opened such an account with Mrs. Kanya.

The account name was her idea

to avoid an audit.

Money was transferred into that account over the past four or five months.

It was offered in exchange for Secretary Pramote's signature

needed for business transactions

with the company I worked for, Boon Dee.

He asked for more money for his authorized signature

in the amount of ten million Baht.

He wanted me to split the payment by depositing into his wife's account

monthly

until all was paid as agreed.

That's not true.

It's not true. What signature?

Prae is lying.

I'll report you to the police.

Be my guest.

Shall I do that for you?

Deputy Kitti happens to be my best friend.

You think you're the only one with connections?

I know that a person of your stature

must be acquainted with many high-ranking police officers.

But will they buy your baseless accusation

or the physical evidence in my hand?

What a pity.

To have a husband who is an upright civil servant,

praised by all at the Ministry,

for being as honest as a mirror.

Turns out, he's taking bribes

because of his wife.

I'm so sorry. I had no clue. I really didn't know.

I'm sorry.

You're so desperate for me to buy your medicines again

to do all this?

You didn't give me any choice.

I have one more offer.

You daughter will marry Teetouch, my son.

Leave my daughter out of this.

Because if we're family

you won't dare betray me.

Is that right?

So last night,

you gave in and signed

a contract to resume business with him?

To protect Mom's reputation,

I had to do it.

But don't you worry.

I will never agree to you marrying his son.

After Mom's funeral,

you go back to America right away.

Marry Pas.

So these people won't be able to mess with you.

I will take care of everything here.

What about you? How will you deal with it?

I cannot leave you.

I won't let you be another one getting dragged into this mess.

I can't let it happen.

RECENT

The number you have reached is not in service at this time and there--

Hello Mind. How is it going?

Well, Pas's cell phone is off.

Is he with you?

He's not here.

He called me saying he'd go back to Thailand to make up with you.

He should be there really soon.

- He's coming back here? - Yes.

I think he should arrive in the afternoon.

Let me send you the flight details.

But I've got to go now. We're going to close soon.

Hey, be happy.

Patch things up with him. I'm rooting for both of you.

Thank you Ann.

If you've arrived, wait for me. Stay put.

I'll go pick you up at the airport.

- Oh. - Be careful.

Are you okay?

Yes.

I was just a little dizzy.

Thank you.

You should go rest inside.

I'm in a hurry.

Then let me help you and call a cab.

I parked my car here.

Then I can push the cart for you.

Yes.

- We're nearly there. - Alright.

Pick it up Pas.

Hey.

Answer the phone Pas.

You're awake?

Who are you?

What the hell have I done? Why are you detaining me?

You're better off abroad. Why did you have to come back?

Uncle Thana.

You got big.

Why are you detaining me?

Why are you back?

Nobody wants you here.

I'm not here for you asshole.

It's not nice to talk to your father like that.

You're not my father.

You're just my father's little brother

who slept with my mother.

What a sweet talker.

Just like when you're little.

More.

Why are you back?

Want to get your mother and your father's damn treasure back?

You wish.

You'll never get anything.

Get him up.

Let me go.

Let me go.

More.

You think you're so tough?

You're so tough, huh?

You're so tough, huh?

You're so tough, huh?

You guys, get it done.

What's up?

Tee went to the airport?

I'll be there.

Drag him out.

Make it look like an accident, as usual.

Yes Sir.

Get out of the way.

Why don't you answer the phone?

SUVARNABHUMI AIRPORT

You think that fleeing the country would undo

what you've done?

Just let me go.

I'm not going to do that.

You must marry Secretary Pramote's daughter.

That girl will be my collateral.

I don't love her.

Stop pushing me around.

I'm pushing you around?

When did I do that?

Everything I do, it's for you.

Be it money, our house, the office or the company,

- they're all yours. - I don't want anything.

I don't. I don't want any of your things.

And to hell with the damn pharma company.

If it's such a problem,

just hand it back to Pas so he can deal with it.

Have you any idea

what I have been through to get all this?

Shit.

Let me go.

- Pull over. - Stop it.

Pull over now.

Pull over.

Let go.

You plan to double-cross me?

I don't think so.

Give me the file from the CCTV.

No.

- I said give it to me. - No.

Pull over.

Tee.

- Pull over. - Don't.

Please, Mr. Tee.

Give me the file.

- I said pull over. - Please, Mr. Tee.

Don't do that Mr. Tee.

Shit.

Pas.

Everyone, out of the way.

My son, Teetouch,

who was also in the car.

You're a police officer. You have to help me.

I don't believe

that my mother really killed herself.

…ransacked your luggage.

Neither the file nor the camera could be found.

The patient named

Passakorn Tongthiwakorn

who was in the car accident the other day, where is he?

Just a moment please.
