Thicha (2024) s01e05 Episode Script

1
THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION, CREATED FOR
ENTERTAINMENT ONLY.
Nitikon, could you make time
for my appointment?
I'll take my daughter-in-law
for a pregnancy test.
I'll go today.
Shouldn't take more than two hours.
Tell the driver to get ready.
Let's go in the same van.
Yes, Ma'am.
Mother.
For the doctor,
can I choose one myself?
That's right.
Why don't we go
for antenatal care with maternity doctors?
Thicha just had a food allergy
and took a lot of medicine.
Let's just go to Dr. Nitikon
and tell him you realized you're pregnant.
If you're really pregnant,
the food allergy
must be one of your concerns, isn't it?
Are you saying Thicha is lying?
Relax.
Many people have misunderstood
and thought they were pregnant.
Lack of sleep,
delayed periods, stress.
I'm just worried about the medicine
affecting the baby.
Go have a check-up,
so you can take care of yourself.
But if we have the tester,
we can test it ourselves.
Should I send someone to buy it?
Okay, I think
we should let Dr. Nitikon check first.
Then, if we want to
continue antenatal care
with another doctor,
we can decide then.
Then I'll go get ready.
-I'll help you.
-It's fine. I'll be back in a jiffy.
Understood.
-Hello.
-Mom.
I'm in trouble.
I lied to Bussara that I'm pregnant.
She insists on taking me
for a pregnancy test now.
Why did you say that?
You know
Bussara wouldn't let you off easily.
It was necessary.
Please find a way out for me now, Mom.
What should I do?
"PHATCHAI"
MOM: TELL ME WHERE THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE IS
Tell me where the doctor's office is.
Which floor is Dr. Nitikon's office again?
Third floor.
I just visited him the other day.
He has an examination room there.
Very convenient.
You don't have to worry.
Third floor. With personal exam room.
Hello.
Hello.
-Hello.
-Hello, Ma'am.
I'm bringing my daughter-in-law
for a pregnancy test.
I'm going to be a grandmother.
Congratulations.
The maid, who is one of us,
will wait on the third floor.
She's pregnant.
Contact me
when they ask for a urine sample.
I'll tell her to give her sample to you.
Hello, Doctor.
Hello.
We bring good news this time.
My daughter-in-law is pregnant.
Hello.
Mr. Nitikon,
will the food allergy medicine
that Thicha took
have any effects on our baby?
Shall we take a pregnancy test first?
If she's pregnant,
-we'll talk about that.
-I agree with her.
Let's take a test.
Then let's go ahead
with the blood draw and urine test.
Blood test?
We can just do a urine test, actually.
It will show the result right away.
If it turns out you're pregnant,
we can test your blood for any risks.
Diabetes, thalassemia,
hepatitis, and so on.
Don't forget to let the nurse know
when your last period was.
Let's go.
Can I have the container?
I also want to use the bathroom.
I'll collect it there.
You can do it in here.
The outside bathroom
has a lot of patients.
Nurse.
This way, please.
Bussara wants me to stay in the room.
Can't go outside.
THICHA: BUSSARA WANTS ME TO STAY
IN THE ROOM. CAN'T GO OUTSIDE.
What will you do?
MOM: WHAT WILL YOU DO?
You've played it big yourself.
Go ahead with it.
If it says you're not pregnant,
I bet you'll come up with something else.
There's always a way.
I'd probably just blame it
on stress and confusion.
Stress-induced vomiting,
due to having a harmful mother-in-law.
And when I'm alone with him tonight,
I might show him my mouth wounds
and tell him what happened.
Then, you'll be able to see Phatchai again
only at your funeral.
Nurse.
My daughter-in-law must be ready.
You don't have to worry.
The medicine you took
shouldn't have any effects on the baby.
Even if it does
we'll do our best
to take care of him or her.
The result is in.
Ms. Thicha might be
three to four weeks pregnant.
Cha.
We're going to have a baby!
Cha!
I'll cut him out of this equation
and find another way to get to Bussara.
We're going to have a baby!
You can't keep this up.
Don't you understand?
Because you love him.
Hey, wait.
What's the matter?
What happened?
I shouldn't be a mother.
I'm not good enough.
-I'm not ready
-Calm down.
Just calm down.
You're just in shock.
I'm not ready either.
I don't know if
I'm going to be a good father.
But I'll do my best.
I'll give it my all.
And I believe you can do that too.
You'll be a good mother.
And we'll be a good team.
Trust me.
Come on.
Right? Come on.
Don't cry. Don't cry.
I love you so much.
I really love you.
I don't want our baby to get hurt.
The baby
shouldn't have to go through this.
I'm sorry.
No, stop saying sorry.
Why do you have to?
You didn't do anything wrong.
Will anything happen to my grandchild?
The timeline of the pregnancy
and the wedding day is so close.
I'll send her to the maternity ward
and recommend
some doctors
that we can trust with the case.
MATHEE
INCOMING CALL
What?
We need to talk.
About what?
Come to my office.
I'm busy.
Now!
During this time,
please avoid any demanding exercises.
Have nutritious food
and take care of yourself.
After four months,
we'll have an amniotic fluid test
to see if there are any problems.
Did Dr. Nitikon tell you
about the medicine I took recently?
Yes.
Ms. Buss told me
to check everything thoroughly.
Please don't worry.
Mom.
Can you speak English now?
-Now.
-No.
No.
Yeah, not "Now".
Speak clearly.
-Calmly.
-Clearly.
Calmly.
Clearly.
Calmly.
Mom.
What should I do?
What should I do?
What should I do?
Ms. Thicha.
Ms. Thicha,
do you want something in that room?
I saw a rat in there.
Huh? Where?
On the bookshelf.
I'm not sure if it's a rat.
I just caught a squirrel the other day.
Must be hard to maintain,
with a tree in the house.
It's necessary.
This is a large garden.
Taking care of it by yourself
must be so tiring, right?
No one else can do this
because we have good fertilizer.
Every tree
has its own fertilizer.
MATHEE LAW FIRM
Additional entrance fee of 5,000 each?
Yes.
From the border to Bangkok,
there are four main checkpoints.
It will be a bit over 1,000 each.
For any case of death
that we must clear with the police,
that will be another 10,000 each.
Wow. Do you need money that much?
What? We have to
talk to them with money, right?
If the case goes to the police station,
we'll keep their mouth shut without money?
I understand this 10,000 extra
because it's accidental.
But the extra bribe is too much.
Gasoline, workers, documents
I'm the only one who pays.
How could I pay that much?
Will the police take it over? Huh?
You didn't invest a dime.
You just sit and wait for the money.
We might need to hurry up.
We have a worker transfer
scheduled for this week.
We can't really leave it hanging.
Then let's cut it from everyone's share.
What?
If we pay, we pay together.
What if I told you
I have another way
without paying any extra?
If you're sure
that you'll face the other networks,
you have to make sure there's no evidence.
Otherwise, you'll be in trouble later on.
Are you threatening me?
I'm not.
But the other networks might do something.
All documents can be forged.
If they want to do something to you,
there are plenty of ways to do so.
Are you sure you'll be safe?
You know what?
I'm starting to get what Mathee said
about you playing both sides.
We'll just have to wait and see.
I'm just not sure
if illegal labor trafficking
will have punishment as severe
as murder cases with evidence concealing.
You can ask Mathee about that.
I'm just not sure
if illegal labor trafficking
will have punishment as severe
as murder cases with evidence concealing.
I want to clear up
the fertilizer under the trees.
Do you remember where everything is?
Why are we doing that?
I don't want to keep them here.
What about Master Phatchai?
I'll deal with him.
Prepare all the tools you need.
We might be able to start soon.
Feeling nauseous?
Yeah. During this time,
I might have to
hug the toilet instead of you.
Let's go. I'm ready.
Where are you going?
Well,
to rub your back
and have morning sickness with you.
Please don't. I don't want anyone
to see me when I'm ugly.
I'm telling an agent
to find a house for us.
Our house in England?
When you're feeling better,
we'll move
and give birth to our child there.
I think we should complete
the moving process before the baby's due.
I also looked for
some three to four-room flats.
For your mother and our kid.
I'll go see Mom tomorrow.
Can I talk about this with her first?
In case she doesn't want to live there,
we won't have to buy
anything more than we need.
Why would we not need it?
If she doesn't want to move there,
she'll visit her grandchild sometimes.
Let me go with you tomorrow, okay?
I'd better go by myself first.
Well,
I thought I'd go to plead with her
to move there with her grandchild.
I love you.
What now?
It's like Bussara is cleaning things up.
She played some clips.
She deleted some and saved some.
And she ordered Sak to do something.
What I was asking
is about your pregnancy.
What will you do? Will you keep the child?
Mom.
If you're trying to
send your mother-in-law to jail
while pregnant,
Phatchai would feel worse.
I've thought about this.
I'll gather all the evidence that I have
and send it to someone else.
That means everything Bussara did
will be exposed by someone else.
Like who?
Some uncorrupted police.
-I believe I can find one.
-Ou Yi.
There has to be some good police.
We just need to have
all the evidence in place.
Phatchai is looking for
a house in England.
I'll convince him to fly there.
During his leave,
we just need someone
to get into Bussara's house
and collect all the evidence.
Phoo might be able to help.
-How long do you need?
-One month.
I'll also tell Phatchai
to do some work there.
His client contacted him the other day,
and he seemed interested.
When everything goes as expected,
will you just move on
and act like you're not involved?
Yes.
And you'll hide it from him forever,
about who you really are?
Yes.
If this lie
can make it less painful for him,
I'll go with it.
Mom.
I love him.
He's a good man.
He'll be a good father.
And I won't abort my child.
I want a child of my own,
and I want that child
to have a good father.
Revenge
doesn't allow anyone
to have all the things they want.
If you want to quit,
do it right now.
Go have a good life.
If your mother were still alive,
she would say the same thing.
But I didn't do it just for her alone.
I'm doing this so no one
will have to suffer the same fate.
I think my mother
isn't the only corpse in that house.
I want to end
this vicious cycle once and for all.
Now we have a chance
and some evidence.
I know it's risky, but it has to be done.
We just need some help.
Then tell Phatchai
to go to England as soon as possible
and stay there as long as possible.
I'll tell Chi
to contact our people
who have means to access the evidence.
More importantly,
don't let Phatchai know
who you are yet.
Thank you, Mom,
for understanding.
Phat.
Dear.
What?
Here.
Do you like it?
Are you buying it?
I'll buy it for you.
No.
You're having a family.
You can't go back to living in a flat
for a bachelor like before.
That's harsh.
I didn't want to
stick my nose in your business
or anything.
I'm just telling you
that I wanted to buy it for you.
I don't understand. Why do you have to?
As a gift for my grandchild.
At the end of the day,
I know you won't let me
get involved with your family.
But I just want to
do something nice for my son
and my grandchild.
I've picked a few in good locations.
But this house is the best.
Go take a look.
Nine months aren't that long.
My grandchild
will see the world in no time.
Thank you.
What did the doctor say?
She's waiting for the list
of medicines Dr. Nitikon prescribed
to see if they have
any effects on the baby.
She said you told her
to look into it thoroughly.
That's right.
Phat, why don't you tell Thicha?
She wants to
buy a house in England for us.
She wants us to go see which one we like.
I'd like to buy it
as a gift for my grandchild.
Phat refused at first, but I insisted
because It's for my grandchild.
Just pick which one you like.
For the payment, I'll handle it.
Thank you, Mother.
So, I'll handle the tickets as well.
But I might need to stay here for now.
Stay here?
I meant my mom's house.
She still has a few doctor's appointments
and needs to wait for the results.
If her condition isn't serious,
I'll follow Phat there.
Can you go alone first?
I can wait for you, actually.
-There's no need.
-Don't.
You need to get it done quickly
so Thicha can live there when she arrives.
That's true.
I also don't really want
to travel that far.
You can also do some work there.
The project your regular client
contacted you about.
Oh?
If you have a client, that's good.
You can do all that in one go.
This might be the first time
that you two agree on something.
Mother.
I have something to ask you.
I'd like Phoo to take care of me there.
In England?
Phoo couldn't handle it, perhaps.
I can go, Ma'am.
I'll try to adjust.
I'll learn English. I can go.
That's a good idea
because if Phoo can do it,
we'll have someone
to take care of the baby.
Well, we might have to
prepare some travel documents.
Phoo, do you have an alien passport?
No, I don't have it.
What?
Why don't you have it, Phoo?
How long have you worked here?
She has it. Why wouldn't she?
I'm the one who handles all the documents.
She doesn't know what she's saying.
You two finish this.
I'm not hungry anymore.
Phoo.
Bring the tea set to my office.
-What's wrong, Cha?
-I'm okay.
-Cha!
-I'm fine.
Earlier,
when did I allow you to speak?
I'm sorry, Ms. Buss.
I got carried away.
Take off your shirt.
Ms. Buss, I won't do it again.
I said take off your shirt!
Take it all off.
Don't make any noise,
not even the slightest.
Don't you ever talk to anyone
about the permit again.
If my son wasn't here,
you'd be six feet under, you stupid bitch!
Hey, Phoo.
What's wrong?
What is it?
I spilled the tea.
Let me get the towel to wipe it.
Phat.
Could you go walk in the garden with me?
-Tell me when you find a house you like.
-Yes.
-I'll go now.
-Yeah.
Uncle Chi will come to pick you up, right?
Yeah. Call me when you arrive.
Take care of yourself.
-Please prepare the documents for Phoo.
-I won't let her go.
Phoo must be here with me.
Phoo must go with me.
Otherwise,
Phatchai will see
the medical certificate for my allergy.
Please let me know when it's done.
I'll come pick her up.
Mathee.
I need your help.
Of course.
-Any rewards for my efforts?
-Yes.
If you can really help,
I'll send the girl you want so much
right to your door.
Ms. Buss was calling Mathee, Ma'am.
She asked him to help with something
but didn't say it out loud.
She'll send me to Mathee.
When?
I don't know.
Calm down and do as we planned.
I'll find a way to get you
out of that house as soon as possible.
Anything urgent,
call Uncle Chi, as I told you.
Delete these messages after you read them.
Phoo said Bussara asked Mathee
to do something for her
and she'll send Phoo to him.
We now have some of our people
in Worot and that contractor's circles.
We still have no one
who can get close to Mathee.
That jerk is being careful.
How?
His subordinates are all Thai,
no foreigners at all.
Not even the maids.
He handpicks everyone himself.
We need to get it done
before Phatchai comes back.
The location is good.
It's convenient, but
If we stay as a whole family,
the size just isn't working.
Our current apartment
is even bigger.
But we still have
a few places on our list.
I'll be ready in time. Don't worry.
Right. Okay. Talk to you later.
Phat.
When will you come back to live here?
If her mom recovers a bit, I think
I'll be here in two months.
Are you still seeing the doctor now?
I
For the first few days in Thailand,
I was a bit down.
But when I was able to
talk openly with Mom,
I felt better.
I'm thinking about
seeing the doctor tomorrow
to see if I can stop taking the meds.
Does Thicha know about this?
I felt that I don't show any symptoms
when I'm with her.
So I didn't want to tell her.
If taking less meds
can make you feel better,
then no one has to know, right?
Good point.
I've gotten better because of you, Book.
-Cheers, mate.
-Uhhuh.
I feel that I hate this world less,
hate Mom less,
hate myself less.
You do interior design for
Arthur.
Arthur.
Hello.
How are you?
I met Arthur here too.
He's with his friend Bob,
who's an interior designer.
I might run into him again.
Anything you'd like me to tell him?
I plan to release
the sound clip I got first.
This clip is quite intense.
If they can make everyone forget,
they must be even more powerful.
There's nowhere left for you to run now.
Fuck!
Ms. Buss wants
a background check for two people.
NIWARIN, THICHA INSAREE
-Mr. Mathee sent these gifts for Ms. Buss.
-Can you open it, Phoo?
If it's opened, I'm as good as dead.
