[music turns upbeat]
TOMORROW AND I
THIS SERIES IS SET IN A FICTITIOUS FUTURE
IT HAS BEEN CREATED SOLELY
FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES
[rain pattering]
[thunder rolling]
[gentle, melodic music playing]
[female newsreader] Happy New Year.
It's a time for new beginnings,
but there is no end in sight
for the continuous rain
that has lasted over two years.
This situation is mirrored
across the entire globe.
[male newsreader] It's been raining
nonstop now for 784 days,
12 hours, 54 minutes, and 22 seconds.
Twenty-three
Twenty-four
[sloshing]
Twenty-five.
This phenomenon
has been dubbed the rain-pocalypse.
[news theme plays]
[woman] The scientific community
have not been able to find
a plausible explanation
for this phenomenon.
- [man] Rising sea levels.
- [woman] Wildfires.
- [man] Garbage crisis.
- [woman] Melting glaciers. Air pollution.
- [man] Unprecedented weather.
- [woman] Methane and carbon dioxide.
Following major floods beginning in 2029,
cities were raised higher above sea level
and drainage tunnels
were built across the country.
[thunders rumbling]
[dramatic music playing]
[male newsreader] Over two decades
have passed
since citizens were forced
to evacuate to the elevated city.
The lower city has been left
as a drainage zone.
This has allowed for successful management
of the excess water.
You call this successful?
[music stops]
[male newsreader] Some think the world
will flood, and that we'll all drown,
but how has that turned out?
It's just a bit of drain water.
Bangkok, the city
that lives underwater, huh?
Humans have always adapted
to their environment.
Why are you sitting out in the rain?
How often do you change your underwear?
See, everyone?
We have it way too easy here.
[gentle, traditional music playing]
[sizzling]
LET YOUR BODY RELAX
[music stops]
I'm actually very thankful for the rain.
I mean, think about
everything the rain gives us.
Um
I just wish people could open their minds.
Happiness is about changing your mindset.
You make it sound easy.
It is easy.
Easy, my ass!
You wouldn't last a day down here.
You dumb ass.
Shut up, douchebag!
Moron.
[girl] "The rain is a direct result
of global warming."
"The global temperature
has been increasing
since the beginning of the 21st century."
[sniffles]
"For the temperature
to rise by one degree,
it used to take as long as 13 years."
[sniffles]
"In the last five years,
this has greatly increased."
"Since the year 2045,
the global temperature
has risen by 1.5 degrees."
[elongating the "s"]
[gentle, tense music plays]
[music raising]
She can't hold it in, Ms. Fai!
- Ah
- [sneezes]
[squelches]
Huh?
It's slimy!
[playful music plays]
Ugh, it's like sago pudding.
Banjong. Pakpoom.
Come and empty this bucket.
It's full already.
- You do it.
- You do it.
And, Paween, you come here and help.
I do not want a wet floor.
[sighs]
"The sudden and unexpected
temperature change
has caused concern among scientists,
who question if humans can adapt."
"And they predict that we will face
a major catastrophe in the future."
[girl] Hey! Why do they say
that the world is getting warmer?
What are they talking about?
It's always raining.
It's freaking cold.
Oh.
It might not feel hot, but this rain
it's caused by global warming.
I know. It was just a joke.
Why did the hand go to school?
To get a grip on things! [chuckles]
[gentle music sting]
- [girl] Hey!
- [girl 2] Hm?
[girl] Ms. Fai's hair looked great today.
- She does it different every day.
- Mm.
BIO SQUID
[girl 2] We have so much homework,
and my uniform isn't dry.
What's the point of that class anyway?
Hm?
[rain pattering]
[breathes in deeply]
[exhales]
[gentle, sentimental music playing]
[sizzling]
[automated voice] You have no money.
[girl 2] Mook, let's go!
[sighs]
[music continues]
I don't have any money.
[music turns tense, menacing]
Hey!
Take that!
[music stops]
[tense music resumes]
[sings in Thai]
[singing stops]
[girl 2 sings in Thai]
[both singing]
[both girls singing and giggling]
[gentle, sentimental music resumes]
OCTOPUS GIRL
[Mook] Oh, I didn't get any grilled squid.
- [girl 2] We don't have any money.
- [Mook sighs] I know.
- [loud bang]
- [both scream]
All of us are doomed!
Oh! [moaning in despair]
I'm so sorry, girls.
This world is a terrible place.
The earth has reached its limit.
The truth is
we're spiraling out of control!
Hey, that's enough of that.
Out of our way.
Get back in the water, sea witch!
[woman sobbing] We're all going to die!
[Mook] What's wrong with her?
[girl 2] I think she's still looking
for a prince to marry.
- [chuckles]
- [thunder rolling]
Hey, look. Look at this.
Remember when we used
to come and play here,
and you wanted to ride the merry-go-round?
Now, you can ride the merry go down!
[chuckles]
[girl 2] It's not a merry-go-round,
it's a seahorse.
[Mook] What's the seahorse sound like?
He, he? Woof, woof?
[girl 2] Don't be silly.
- [Mook] Hello.
- Hello, girls.
[epic music playing]
[electrical buzzing]
We made it.
Take your hood off.
Look out, Pang!
How's it going, Pang, Mook?
Why did they say your name first?
Mook, Pang sounds better, don't you think?
- How are you today?
- How are you today?
Ooh! You look very stylish today, All-New!
- Oh, I look stylish, do I?
- You do!
AI say hello to Pang and Mook.
AI, can you talk yet?
AI is gonna take over the world.
[chuckling]
Hey, Ms. Pinky,
the pipe got dislodged again.
[Pinky] What? Not again.
Do you have any spares?
Can I take one home
to watch Netflix, Mr. Eak?
[news on radio]
You ask me that every day.
You know the answer.
[Mook chuckles]
Did you pass that level?
You've got to get the power up!
- There it is, right there. Oi! Get good!
- [woman] Are you gonna play games all day?
- [girls scream]
- [woman] Give me a hand for once.
[girls screaming]
Watch where you're going.
- [Mook] Sorry for having fun.
- [Pang] Mook! Sorry, ma'am.
Why did you say that?
Hello, Mrs. Toi.
Is my mother back?
She's inside the house.
[melodic, inspirational music playing]
[Mook] Crypto, why weren't you
at school today?
Oh, yeah, I didn't go today.
Actually, I haven't gone for a few days.
[Mook] Oh, have you been sick?
A lot of kids
have been getting sick lately.
No, my uniform was wet,
and the teacher said, "Go home
and come back when they're dry."
- [both] Hello, Mr. Tom!
- Woah!
Hey, look what you did! Mmm, you brats!
[Mook] Cool haircut! [laughs]
[Tom grunts]
How are you, Mr. Santa Kui?
- There's plenty more garbage at my house.
- [Kui] Hi. Oh, thanks.
- [Mook] We're here, everyone!
- [Pang] We're here!
- Hello! How are you guys?
- Hello. Hi! Hi.
- How are you today, Mr. Keng?
- Hello.
- Oh, hey, kids.
- Hello, nice to see you.
- Hello, Ms. Vivian!
- How is everything?
How's business?
- [Vivian] Not bad, actually.
- Oh! Mmm.
Hi there, good to see you.
Hello. Hello.
Hi there.
How are you going? Hello!
[man] Good evening, fellow citizens.
I'm afraid I have bad news
regarding a viral outbreak.
A new variant of the dengue virus
has been found in mosquitoes.
The virus has claimed more than 50 lives.
Children under 10 are at the highest risk
as their immune systems
are not fully developed.
- [squeak]
- [TV audio ends]
[dramatic music crescendos]
Symptoms include skin inflammation,
throat infection, and irritation.
Ah! what was that?
We're issuing this alert to anyone
who may be experiencing recurring
[laughs loudly]
- Hey, good to see you.
- Hello, Mr. Sua.
Oh! My lucky charm, hm?
- Take a look. Pick one.
- Mmm
Which one should I get? What number?
Take your pick. Take your pick.
Take your pick.
- Which one are you'll choose?
- It's my birthday. I want this one.
I'm gonna be rich. Ha ha ha!
Hey! Hey, Mook, get out of here. Oh!
Why'd you have to ruin my luck?
Ah! You jinxed it. Seriously, go away!
- All right, pick one.
- Hey, meow.
Come here, come here, little kitty.
A ginger cat.
[cat mewing]
[Mook] Hey, where are you going?
[rain pattering persistently]
[Mook] Meow.
Come here, little kitty.
Hey, have you got a friend? Meow.
[blades clinging]
Do you want a pat?
[thunder roaring]
[silent]
What are you doing here? It's dangerous.
Hey, Neon, thank you
for saving me just in time.
Otherwise, I could have Hmm.
[scoffs]
[gentle music playing]
Stay out of that alley.
It's not a good place for kids, okay?
Go home. It's getting dark.
Yes, sir!
We're gonna clean up the streets.
And if we can't beat 'em, we'll join 'em.
[chuckles]
All right, go home and get changed.
You're all wet.
[cat meowing]
I'm home, Granny.
[Pang's grandma] Hey, Pakarang,
who just came in?
[sighs] It's Pang.
You can't remember your granddaughter?
[gentle music continues to play]
Hello, Mom!
- [sighs] Hello, darling.
- Mmm.
Hey, Mom, I got
a little hole in my raincoat.
Oh, where? Show me.
- On the seam.
- I can patch it up.
Although I think I'm out of pink thread.
I don't mind, any color is okay.
Hmm. All right.
Hi, Granny.
Hmm, well, look who it is!
Give me a kiss, hm?
Mmm! Oh, my sweet girl. Hey.
You've lost a lot of weight, Pakarang.
Mom, that's Kalapangha, not me.
Can't you tell your daughter
from your granddaughter?
It's not my fault.
Someone must have adjusted my glasses.
What the hell! Do you know how difficult
it is to get them right?
Hey, nobody touched your glasses.
What are you saying, huh?
Come on. [chuckles]
Yeah! What are you saying, Granny? Huh!
Hey, you've got my sense of humor.
- Hello, Pa.
- [boy laughs]
Come and give me a hug. Hm? Mmm.
How did your hair get so smelly?
- It smells like dog.
- It smells like dog?
- Yeah, it stinks! [laughs]
- Have a sniff then.
Now, go take a shower, go on.
Pang, welcome home!
Good to see you, Pruek.
- Hmm. I'm glad you're home, little sis.
- Oh, yeah?
I've got something
that I want to show you.
What do you wanna show me?
Yeah! Show her
what you've been doing, son.
You've been practicing all day.
[rhythmic, joyful music playing]
Oi!
- [click]
- [music stops]
Hey, don't you know
that cool people listen to K-pop?
Aw! Hey, Mook.
Don't be a buzzkill. Tell me something.
Don't you have your own family?
Why are you always here?
Will you adopt me into your family?
I want a handsome dad like Pang's.
Aww
Cutie!
Here, have some money.
- There you are.
- [automated voice] You received 20 baht.
[Pakarang] Dumbass!
You're such a pushover.
Stop wasting money.
[grandma] Hey.
- Don't be such a nag.
- [Pang's dad] Mm.
It's just a little cash for some snacks.
Hey, do you wanna stay over tonight?
- Yes, ma'am, thanks.
- Okay, okay.
Glad to hear it.
That comes to 20 baht
for the night, please.
[music sting]
Okay, just give the money
to Pakarang when you can.
My mother-in-law is something else
[chuckles]
Do you wanna stay here?
- All right.
- Okay.
You stay here, and we'll all move out.
No.
Hey, you want K-pop?
Watch this then. Ha!
[Pang's dad] Whoa, I gotta see this.
[K-pop music plays]
Whoa!
[all cheering, giggling]
Can you do this?
[Pakarang] Wow! Look at you!
[all laughing, cheering]
[Pakarang] Oh, hey, look at them dance!
Kalapangha, step it up! [chuckles]
[music stops]
- Whoa!
- [Pakarang] So energetic!
Where'd you learn to dance like that?
[laughs]
You're really good!
[gentle music playing]
[thunder rolling]
[rain pattering]
[female voice over PA]
For itchy fingers and toes,
blisters, purulent wounds,
and athlete's foot, try Tonam!
[male voice over PA] This is your chance.
- [rain pattering]
- [mice squeaking]
[newsreader] There have been reports
of mutant animals
from all across the globe.
Scientists believe it's because
I can't believe
we can't wear sandals to school.
- It isn't practical.
- It isn't polite.
- [Pang's dad] Since when?
- What did he say?
- They didn't give any warning?
- [Pang] It isn't polite.
- [Mook] Why isn't it polite?
- I'm just a temp.
They don't need to give me any warning.
All of Bangkok's garbage collectors
have been replaced with robots.
Those robots work all day and all night.
They can even go underwater.
Maybe you should take diving lessons.
- I I I'm just kidding.
- It's not very funny.
I've heard that in the flooded districts,
boat taxis are in very high demand.
Listen, I'll start working two shifts,
all right? We'll be okay.
- [Pakarang] But you'll be exhausted.
- [Pang's dad] We need the money.
Who knows how long it'll be
before this place is submerged.
[news theme plays]
Hey, breaking news.
- Huh?
- Hm? Huh?
Good evening.
[Pakarang sighs] These hologram TVs
are terrible.
You can see straight
through it to the back.
It's the best you can get second hand.
[man over TV] We cross now to the IUN.
Various language options are available
through your television. Thanks.
Greetings, world citizens.
Today, the IUN has an announcement.
What is about to be announced
is another important step for humanity.
[speaking in Japanese]
We are excited to announce
that after years of research,
we've made a breakthrough.
What do you think it could be?
Do you think the scientists
have figured out the cause of the rain,
and they've found a solution for it?
That's fantastic!
They'll say it's a new normal,
a new way of living, for the eighth time.
Shut up, Mr. Sua.
- But I'm right.
- We'll see.
Through a collaboration
between the world's top scientists,
we have done it.
We have developed the technology
to survive
our planet's changing conditions.
[tense, dramatic music plays]
Ladies and gentlemen,
let me present our salvation,
the AquaVac Vaccine.
[dramatic sting]
This is a blessing from the heavens.
It looks as if my prayers
have finally been answered.
The vaccine is a blend
of several antivirals
and protects against waterborne disease.
We have isolated
the genes of the giant squid.
A species with a complex brain
that can survive on land and underwater.
These were combined
with the genes of tardigrades.
An organism that can survive outer space,
high levels of radiation,
subzero temperatures, and starvation.
With this solution,
no matter what happens in the future,
we have a way forward.
And we will survive.
[hopeful, epic music plays]
- We will survive! We're gonna be ok!
- Yeah!
[all cheering]
Human innovation
always finds a way through.
- [music stops]
- [silence]
- [applauding]
- [crowd murmur]
[series of dramatic music stings playing]
The vaccine can cause
some minor side effects,
particularly, around the chin
and the face.
However, we can assure you
that these effects
are not harmful to your health in any way.
We will not go quietly into the night.
We will not vanish without a fight.
We're gonna live on.
We're gonna evolve and survive.
Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
[applauding, cheering]
[music peaks, fades]
[dramatic TV news theme plays]
This has just come in.
At a press conference,
the public health minister
has said the food and drug administration
will not approve the vaccine.
We shouldn't get ahead of ourselves.
This is not ready for human trials.
We still don't know if it works,
or what's in it.
You wanna be a guinea pig?
This vaccine goes against everything
we stand for as a country.
[sighing]
Now, let's hear from the person
whose opinion the public
cares about the most,
and that's Big Tang, our prime minister.
[sniffles]
Apparently, some of you aren't satisfied
with being human.
You'd rather be a monster.
If that's what you want,
then go ahead, but count me out, okay?
Yeah? Trust me on this, all right?
[female reporter] What is your plan
moving forward?
I just told you my plan.
I disagree with him on most issues.
But this time I think, he might be right.
Do you really want the vaccine?
If it turns you into a squid?
Huh, who would want that?
But it's been rainin' for two
or three years continuously.
If it was gonna stop,
it'd have stopped by now.
This vaccine is our only hope.
Get it If you want, I won't be.
It's our choice, isn't it?
They can't make us take it.
We have rights, don't we?
We can't just blindly follow
the Americans.
As far as I'm concerned,
they can't be trusted.
America isn't your dad.
The IUN isn't your mom.
Stop following Westerners. I have an idea.
I'm working on a solution that's gonna
help everybody equally. Uh-huh?
I have a different solution. All right?
We'll construct glass domes
that will cover the cities
and be completely rainproof.
- [dramatic, epic music playing]
- [thunders rolling]
[music crescendos]
[music fading]
Does he think this country
is a chicken farm?
What did you say?
- [thunder roaring]
- [rain pattering persistently]
[screams] You know what?
We'll probably all drown
before we get the vaccine.
Those damn pipes
just keep on dumping water on us.
And where the hell are the authorities?
What are they doing about it?
When the vaccine's finally ready,
they'll give it to the rich people first.
The elites and their skyscrapers.
You know what I think?
We'll be long dead
before the government acts.
You're right, Vitchian.
- I mean, Vivian.
- Vivian!
- Yeah.
- Right. I'm going to speak my mind.
- Uh, mmm.
- All of us are stuck here.
Because we can't afford to live
in a high rise above the water level.
The name of this place says it all.
- Huh?
- Khlong Toei.
Khlong Toei means canal,
and that's what we're living in.
Oh, everything feels so hopeless.
It makes me wanna cry. [sobs]
[man] Come on, Toi.
Don't waste your tears.
They'll never give us the vaccine.
[sighs]
[man 2] Our government is a sham.
They'll leave all of us here to drown.
[gentle, sad music playing]
[music continues]
[Mook] It's a great view from up here
on the Eiffel Tower.
Pang?
Hey, Pang, what ya thinking 'bout?
I'm thinking about
how we're supposed to feel about this.
The potato chip?
About everything.
[thunder rolling]
About the vaccine.
The endless rain.
Global warming.
About the great flood.
Why did they do
so much damage to the world?
They destroyed the planet
and left nothing for their children.
I just want to go to school
and be able to play
in the sun like we used to.
[sighs] Here we go.
Chill out. Stop worrying.
The grown-ups are going to figure it out.
So, just focus on studying.
But why bother,
when the world could flood tomorrow?
[sighs]
Pang. Listen to me, okay?
We're just children.
There's nothing we can do.
Since we can't do anything,
you have to forget it.
Leave it to the grown-ups to worry about.
Why leave it to the grown-ups?
We're just children,
but there has to be something we can do.
[commercial music plays]
[man over PA] This is your chance.
Calling all singers.
Join us on singing in the heavy rain.
We're looking for singers to compete
for the grand prize of 1 million baht!
Sign up now and chase your dreams with us.
Singing in the heavy rain.
[school bell ringing]
Din Pong?
[girl] Present.
Gupree?
[girl] Present.
- Meter Nam?
- [girl] Present.
Kalapangha?
Kalapangha?
[man] Kalapangha?
Um anyone seen Kalapangha?
Here. Miss Kalapangha is right here.
Uh Number 456.
Uh, hang on. Is that what you're wearing?
Hey, wardrobe, over here.
Get her something to wear.
- Oh, that dress is beautiful.
- [man] Hmm
I want it.
Hey, come on. Tell her you want
that dress. Go on, tell her.
[gentle music playing]
[Pang] Wow.
[Mook] Wow. Take a look.
They look amazing.
Give it everything you've got.
You have to sing like there's no tomorrow.
That might be a bit too real.
Then How's this?
You could pretend to be
super crazy, or pretend to be super cool.
Or pretend you have a superpower!
Don't be silly.
Ah, well, what about
What about we try
Hm?
Having you here with me is enough.
[gentle, nostalgic music playing]
Hmm.
Number 456. The stage is ready.
Okay.
You can do it, Pang!
[male host] Next up,
is contestant number 456.
Welcome to the stage, Kalapangha!
[man] Why is she dressed
in a shabby school uniform?
[gentle, piano music playing]
[singing in Thai]
Pang! Whoo!
[continues to sing]
[music fades]
[Mook] Pang.
You really do have a superpower.
Your voice can stop the rain.
[rain pattering very gently]
[rain slashing down then stops]
[resumes singing in Thai]
[audience applauding]
KEEP SMILING EVEN IN TOUGH TIMES
Aww!
Oh, my God! Pang, you're amazing!!
[screams]
She looks like an angel or a princess.
Gorgeous.
That was amazing.
Can I ask you a question?
If you end up winning,
what will you do with the prize money?
Can you tell us?
If I win,
I'd use the money
to buy my mom and dad a house.
The house that we live in
will soon be underwater.
[man] Your house will be underwater?
Which part of town are you from?
We live in Neo Khlong Toei district.
[woman] I thought
that area had been evacuated.
Why are there people still living there?
A lot of people are still living there.
[gentle, somber music playing]
If I win this competition,
I'll use some of the money
to buy Aqua Vaccines,
and give them
to everyone in our community.
A lot of people who live there are sick.
Including
Mook.
She's my closest friend.
[applause]
Uh! Oh!
It's heartbreaking.
You're a fighter.
[applause continues]
You have courage.
- [Toi] Wow.
- Oh! I'm gonna cry.
Oh! Pakarang, you must be so proud!
You have such a wonderful daughter.
I really mean it.
Yeah. Mm.
Pang!
You can come out now. Don't be shy.
[chuckles]
- [Pakarang] Yeah!
- [man] Give her a round of applause!
Come on. Let's hear it for Pang.
Well done.
[Pakarang] Come here. Listen.
I'm so proud of you, okay?
It's not about winning or getting a prize.
All right?
Pang, you won all of our hearts.
[laughs] Yeah, that's right!
If anyone wants to book her,
please, come and see me.
- Here we go.
- [Mook] Or you can book me instead.
Aww, how sweet.
I can't sing like her,
but I've got more style!
- [upbeat music plays]
- [vocalizing]
- [thunder roaring]
- [screams]
- She was just a flash in the pan, I guess.
- Your singing spooked me.
Hey!
Everyone, take a look at this.
The clip of Pang's gone viral.
Really? Show me.
[Pang] A lot of people have gotten sick,
and soon
my whole neighborhood
will be completely submerged.
[bleeps notifications]
[electronic, upbeat music playing]
WHAT A HEAVENLY VOICE.
WHERE HAS SHE BEEN HIDING?
If Pang didn't have me as her best friend,
Pang, the heavenly voice, wouldn't exist.
TOP VOICE THAT STOPS THE RAIN
[female reporter] Kalapangha Mekratree's
viral clip
has earned her the title
The Voice of the Slum,
her message has sent
shockwaves through society.
"It's raining everywhere,
but not everyone gets wet."
Where do our taxes go?
Are they spent on blocking the drains?
They don't care about us.
We've lost so many people,
and they tell us it's our fault.
ASSHOLES
GREAT WORK.
Pang! You did it!
[electronic upbeat music raises]
[reporter] People are rallying to pressure
the government into taking action.
Think you can do better?
Come on, show me then.
I'm the prime minister,
not a miracle worker.
- Hey, shithead.
- [music stops]
[laughter]
We will begin construction
of the glass dome immediately.
To cover the district of Neo Khlong Toei.
The first of its kind.
AS SMART AS
[female reporter] But it seems
the majority would prefer
the vaccine over the glass domes.
One thing at a time.
Why such a rush? Ooh.
[female reporter] Pang's angelic voice
is resonating all around the country.
- Pang is the best!
- [woman] Yeah. She's great.
We're all gonna die! We're all gonna die!
We're all gonna die! [screams]
And whose fault is climate change?
Own up.
All of you are responsible. That's right.
It's easy to complain
about the world getting hotter.
How do you expect me to solve it?
- All of us are responsible.
- Why do I have to do everything?
I feel so sad for this generation.
You know who's really responsible, right?
- The government.
- Huh?
Think about it this way.
For every coal power plant
approved by the government,
we need to plant a million trees
to neutralize its carbon footprint.
Politicians always blame the public.
They make the decisions,
but they want us to take responsibility.
I'm sorry,
but it's your own doing, isn't it?
Why is he blaming us
for something like this?
GRADE 2 CLASS 4
[screaming in excitement]
The prime minister's coming to our school!
Yay!
He is coming to plant some Alternanthera
for our community. Yay!
Miss. Is it edible?
The Alternanthera plant?
[chuckling] You must be hungry.
I'll explain.
It is said that Alternanthera
facilitates thermoregulation of the body.
In other words,
it helps to cool down your blood.
I'm already cold-blooded.
- [sharp metal whoosh]
- Hm!
This is the revolutionary vision
of your prime minister that will save us!
And now, I have selected one student
to welcome the prime minister here.
And that is
Kalapangha!
[applauding, cheering]
Kalapangha! Congratulations!
You know what that means?
You're a celebrity.
The prime minister knows who you are!
Aren't you happy? Why aren't you smiling?
And he is coming here because of you.
[cheering]
Yeah, Pang, you're the best!
[breaths in sharply] On the day,
all of you will dress properly.
A musty uniform will not be tolerated!
That's right.
I can smell you all from here.
[thunder roaring]
[rain pattering]
[Pang] I can't sleep.
[Mook] You need to get some sleep.
You're singing in front
of the prime minister tomorrow.
[Pang] I'm nervous.
Don't worry.
Everyone thinks you're an angel.
Know that?
An angel who shines
her light on this neighborhood.
You know what?
I heard they're going
to build a statue of you.
What? That's ridiculous!
But if they did,
you'd have to be in it
because you're the one
who gave me the courage to sing.
[gentle, inspirational music playing]
You and me make quite a pair.
Now that I'm famous,
all these people are following me.
Some of them say
they want to donate money.
But I'm really not sure
if I should accept.
Just take it, all right.
What's the problem?
Think of it as helping them out.
Huh? How is that helping?
You're helping them do good deeds.
Our struggles
allow for rich people to do good.
The right thing to do is let them.
Um, you should share the money with me.
It's the right thing to do.
- You know?
- I see.
So it all comes back to you, does it?
- [chuckles]
- [whimsical music plays]
[scratching]
It's so itchy.
Hey, you need to see a doctor.
They look like they're getting worse.
Don't worry, okay? It's just an itch.
It's nothing serious.
- Uhh
- [cat meows]
Huh? I thought you were dead.
You're a tough one, aren't you?
You've gotten much bigger
since the last time I last saw you.
What should I call you?
- Lisa, maybe?
- What about Ya-ya?
Ah, come here, kitty.
[loud roar]
[scream]
It's a piranha cat!
- [screaming]
- [menacing music playing]
Huh? Since when do cats know how to swim?
That's a piranha cat!
Come on!
[music peaks, fades]
[time clicking]
[rain pattering]
[wood creaking]
Listen to me, Neon.
You're not listening to me.
Ooh.
You've got it wrong.
Thanks for the water, Neon.
I'm really thirsty.
[thudding]
[cracking]
[cracking continues]
It's ballooning.
Everyone, wake up!
It's ballooning.
Wake up. Everyone, wake up.
Mom, look.
Why are you shouting? What is it?
[clanking, crackling]
Hey, hey! Everyone. Wake up!
Wake up! The house is flooding.
- Wake up, Tuang.
- [moans]
[dramatic music playing]
[grunts] Hurry, we have to go!
Hey, its not so bad.
At least the bed's above the water.
[chuckles] Good night.
Hey. What the hell do you mean
it's not so bad?
Come on, we need to get our stuff.
- [grunts]
- [Pang's grandma] Hey!
Has anyone seen my glasses?
- Why can I never find them
- Gran, they're here.
- So you're the one who took them! Ooh.
- Seriously?
[Tuang sighs]
Hey, it's flooding! It's flooding!
Kalapangha, you have to wake up.
It's flooding.
Help me!
- We need to pack up our stuff.
- Hey! It's flooding. It's flooding!
- My things are floating.
- Mook, wake up.
Just a minute, Neon.
It's the great flood.
[thunder roaring loudly]
Everyone! Everyone, grab your stuff.
We've got to get out!
Hey!
Stop packing your homework.
Grab your stuff and get out.
It's flooding.
Get your stuff. It's flooding!
- Grab your stuff. Let's go.
- Hey, Idiot!
It isn't the time for praying!
- [gong strike]
- [scoffs]
That's what you think.
I'll have you know
this amulet here has the power
to protect us with its magic.
This amulet can protect us from anything.
- Fire or flood.
- Oi!
My dad was wearing this when
- [loud splash]
- [Thai song plays briefly]
[music stops]
You damn idiot! [screams in frustration]
[sighs]
- We need to hurry. The roof is collapsing!
- [Tuang] What the heck is going on?
- [Tuang] What are you doing?
- Mom, what are you doing?
Hey, come take a look at this.
The floor's wobbling, just here.
- Pang. Wait. Be careful.
- Careful.
[Pang] What's going on?
Yeah, it's wobbling.
[Puang] Hey, watch out!
[all screaming]
Granny Careful, Granny. Come here!
- [Tuang] Cockroaches!
- Get away from there!
[clamoring]
[Pang] Dad!
- [all screaming]
- [cracking, banging]
[dramatic music playing]
Get off! Get off! Get off me!
[mice squeaking]
[Pakarang] Come here, honey.
[music peaks, fades]

[rock music playing]
This is Thailand
where anything can happen!
Ahh, hey!
[music stops]
[all screaming]
Hey, did you see that? Hey, look, look!
I'm reporting from Neo Khlong Toei
which was hit by heavy rain last night.
As you can see, there is no indication
that this was once a neighborhood.
Despite the rising water levels,
the government still hasn't confirmed
they are importing the vaccine.
[coughing]
[somber, gentle music playing]
I couldn't save those dogs and cats.
[sobbing]
- [Pang] Do you feel better, Pruek?
- No rats. No rats.
There are no rats here, Pruek.
Hey, I haven't seen your parents
in a while. Where have they gone?
They've gone back for more stuff.
They went back there?
Oh! The water's already washed
it all away.
There's nothing back there.
Everything we owned is gone.
Unlike this one over here.
How far had that sign drifted
before you managed to grab it?
Hey, come on!
This sign, right here,
represents the beating heart
of everyone in our community.
It's part of what binds
all of us together.
Fortunately, I don't have any belongings.
There is nothing left for me to lose.
I've lost all of my possessions.
And I don't even have a boyfriend.
- Hey, Mook,
- Hm?
Who are you talking to?
Oh. To my audience.
You've lost it.
[whirring]
[dramatic music playing]
Hey!
A terrorist drone.
Wait, what genre are we in?
Is this sci-fi or drama?
Never mind.
Mooktasha Romanoff has got this.
- Bang bang bang!

MOOKMADA PAKORNMI
[male voice] We've located the girl.
Alpha A. This is Alpha B. Do you copy?
The target has been found.
Chick, chick, bang, bang, bang, bang!
- What's happening?
- [man] We've got her, sir.
- [grandma] Hey!
- [Mook] Hey, hey, Pang!
- Let go of my granddaughter! Hey!
- Hey, Pang!
Pang!
[grandma] Where are you taking her?
Come back! Where are you going?
[tense music playing]
Men in suits,
presumed to be government employees,
have just arrived
and taken a young girl into custody.
The girl is Kalapangha,
who has been making headlines recently.
- We're watching this unfold live.
- [man] Hey! Honey?
Honey. Look at the camera.
- Look over here.
- [woman] Please, answer some questions?
- This way, please?
- You've just lost your house.
[woman] How do you feel?
[crying]
[crying out loud]
[crowd murmuring]
[continues to cry]
Turn the lights off.

GENERAL YUTHAVITHI WONGMESAP

[triumphant music playing]
[Tang] Don't cry, little girl.
- [music stops]
- [silence]
[gentle music playing]
[Tang] I'm here to help you.
- [crying]
- [Tang] There, there. Don't cry.
[crowd murmuring]
[music continues]
I'm here to help. It's gonna be okay.
[music stops]
[sharp metallic swish]
[crying resumes]
[dramatic music playing]
[dramatic music crescendos]
[music fades, turns gentle]
It's okay. You're safe now.
Mmm?
[dramatic, eerie music plays]
Hey!
[muffled crying]
Huh? [grunts]
What the hell?
- [screams]
- [silence]
Sorry. My hand slipped.
- [screams]
- [Tang] Huh?
Oh!
Mm?
[crowd murmuring]
[panting]
[squelching]
- [dramatic music plays]
- [Mook screams]
It's the AquaVac!
It's not what it looks like.
It isn't what you think.
Don't jump to conclusions.
These are
They're tumors.
Ever heard of skin tags?
You start to get them as you get older.
They're perfectly natural, okay?
- Understand?
- [woman] Yeah, right! Screw you!
We've had enough of your crap.
You're a liar and a fraud.
[tense music playing]
[girl] Kick his ass!
The incident prompted an investigation,
which revealed the prime minister,
along with several
high ranking civil servants,
had stockpiled the vaccine
for their own use,
so why was it reserved for the select few?
The answer is obvious.
The cost of the vaccine is prohibitive,
and our government lacked funds
to order enough of the vaccine
to supply the entirety of the country.
Faced with the shortage,
they began a disinformation campaign,
claiming that the vaccine
did not meet medical standards.
Those Those sons of bitches!

ONE YEAR LATER
"People all around the world continue
to receive the AquaVac vaccine,
administered by the GHO."
"As a result, many diseases
have been eliminated,
and everyone's health has improved."
"Even though, the rain hasn't stopped,
it doesn't matter so much
because the rain has become
part of who we are now."
I'm here in Neo Khlong Toei,
where the community
have managed to rebuild,
having received government support.
Can you pan the camera around?
[gentle, hopeful music playing]
[Pang] Human innovation will always find
a way to survive
no matter what we face.
This is the dawn
of a new age for all of humanity.
[epic, hopeful music playing]
For a long time, I wanted to give up
because I'd lost all my hope.
But today,
I'm here to say the fight is finally over.
We all get to live,
and we finally have sunlight again!!
