The Believers (2024) s01e07 Episode Script

[Yod] This is Phummaram Temple.
They took less than six months
to develop it
from a small, secluded temple
no one cared about into a famous one.
[tense music playing]
This is Akkarachai, a descendant of a
wealthy family of businessmen.
Don't you find it strange
for someone from a rich family
to get involved with a temple's affairs?
Look at this, sir.
Chaiyong, the temple's liaison,
is on the run from drug charges
along with newly ordained monks.
I'm thinking that
Akkarachai and his two friends
might have something to do
with Chaiyong's drug case
and use the temple for money laundering.
What do you expect to get out of this?
Sir.
I think that
in practice,
three teenagers and an old liaison
aren't capable of doing this themselves.
I bet they have a powerful backup.
[Yod] Sir, how about we do this?
Why don't you let
my team and I look into this?
Will it be like last time?
Fine.
Give it a try.

THE BELIEVERS
[erotic music playing]
[whoosh]
[music stops]
[printer clicking]
I think the amount
you paid this time is rather small.
Look.
It's not even half
of what you paid last time.
Well, there have been
some problems with my business.
[chuckles]
Business problems, huh?
[thrilling music playing]
Well, if I have the money,
I'll pay you. Right?
I give you everything I have,
because in the end,
you live off interest anyway, don't you?
[chuckles]
Hey, wait. Let go of me.
Stay still!
Huh?
[breathing shakily]
[Yossaphat] You love to hear me say
"It's alright." Don't you?
[exhales deeply]
[shakily] Please calm down first.
Let's talk it out.
I'm not running away.
[music crescendos and stops]
[screaming] Hey! Hey!
- [Yossaphat laughing]
- Oh.
[continue laughing]
[breathing shakily] Huh.
[yelling] What the fuck was that?
Huh?
[Yossaphat laughing]
[tense music playing]
[exhales shakily]
As of now,
the sum of your debt,
including the interest,
is almost equal
to the amount at the start.
[clicks tongue]
[Yossaphat chuckling]
[Yossaphat] And next time,
if you still pay the same amount,
it won't be this gun anymore.
Yes, sir.
[sighs]
And
[tapping the paper]
don't even think of running away.

[remote control beeping]
[Yod] Hey, you there.
Hey.
Mr. Liaison.
What are you doing here?
[Game] Who are you?
Why did you follow me?
I'm here for golf driving.
What's wrong with you?
What are you upset about?
You're from a temple.
You should keep calm.
Falling. Rising.
Do you want to talk?
No, thanks.
I'm in a rush.
Your two friends didn't come along?
[tense music playing]
[Yod] Hey, you.
Are you going to leave the tokens
of your shitty game just like that?
Hello? Au.
[thrilling music playing]
[engine starts and revving]
You wanna go golfing, shit head?
[engine revving]
- [crashing]
- [honking]
[gear shifting]
Fuck.
This prick.
[car door closes]
Are you all right?
What the fuck did you do?
I didn't mean to do anything.
The car just crashed.
It was an accident.
So what do we do?
Should I call my insurance company?
I'll make the call.
- [sighs]
- [car door closes]
[music stops]
[line ringing]
No one is picking up.
What? Are you sure it's the right temple?
- [Win] Call and ask Game.
- He hasn't replied.
[sighs]
Let's check the abbot's residence.
[in southern accent] Monk Dol, right?
You look somewhat familiar.
You were a forest monk before, right?
Why did you become a city monk
and want to make sacred objects?
What were you thinking?
Would it be possible for us to have
a small portion of sacred substance?
[abbot] I have to decline
because we also have a plan
to make the sacred object of the year.
It won't be the same as yours.
Because we're going to put together
substances gathered from many places.
I don't know who gave an approval to this.
You should leave.
[tense music playing]
Father.
We have good intentions
for what we're doing,
to make people
more interested in religion.
All we want is your support.
[in southern accent] Don't use religion
as a cover.
I can see through your true intention.
God damn it.
Fuck, we were so close.
Win.
GAME: WE ARE IN TROUBLE
[music stops]
[man] Here you go.
- [Game] Thank you.
- Do you want a photo of his ID card?
Yeah, sure.
MR. KRITSANAPHOL ATCHARIYAPHON
- Okay, got it.
- [man] Alright.
Are we all set?
Yes, we'll contact a garage
for you as soon as possible.
Alright. Itthara Insurance
is happy to serve you!
- Thank you.
- [man] No worries.
[Game sighs]
[man] Here's your ID card.
[engine starts]
[engine revving]
[man] Here you go.
Itthara Insurance is happy to serve you!
Am I your friend?
Sorry, sir.
[Grace] Hello? Game, where are you?
[Game] Hi, sis. What's up?
[Grace] Come back home quick.
Grandpa's collapsed.
What?
Is he alright?
[Grace] It was pretty bad.
Come back home first.
Okay. I'm heading back now.
- [Grace] Okay. Alright.
- Okay.
[engine revving]
[Dear] What about this one?
Are there other shops?
They all look the same.
Read the reviews.
What reviews?
"It's holy as hell, sis." Like that?
[Win chuckles]
[banging]
The monk came with you right?
[tense music playing]
Take care of him well.
Where is Monk Dol?
Didn't he go to the restroom?
[Win] Fuck.
- You go that way.
- [Win] Okay.
Shit.
What happened to you?
[music stops]
I returned to the abbot's residence,
but I guess they really
didn't want us there.
[sighs]
Why didn't you tell me
you were going there?
[Win sighs]
This isn't right.
It's fine.
[Win] Here, Win.
Shouldn't we take him to the hospital?
It's okay.
I don't need to go to the hospital.
Let's get your wounds cleaned at least.
[Win sighs]
[Dear] Here.
[Win sighs]
[Dear] You're spilling it all.
[Win] Um.
[Dear] Um.
What the hell are you doing?
Cleaning the wounds.
When cleaning wounds,
you have to start from here
and work your way outwards.
Give it to me. I'll do it.
I'm sorry, Brother.
It's all right.
[soft music playing]
Why did they have to do this to you?
They must have doubted me.
How?
I guess it's because
I transferred to a city temple.
[music swells]
[music stops]
Dad. How are you feeling today?
Does it hurt a lot?
[Game's grandpa] I'm a lot better now.
Okay, thank you so much.
[Game] Sis.
Mom.
Hi, Grandpa. Hi, Uncle.
Hey, Game.
How's Grandpa doing?
He broke his hip. He still can't move.
Why isn't he in the hospital?
- He doesn't want to stay there.
- [Game] Oh.
Who's gonna take care of him?
Me.
What about your baby?
Me.
Are you sure?
I'm fine.
And where is Dad?
He's working over there.
[Game inhales deeply]
Okay. I'll be right back.
Dad.
Hey, what's up?
Can I talk to you?
Sure. What's up?
[Game sighs]
I need to borrow some money from you.
How much?
- Ten million.
- Ten million, Game?
I'll pay it back. The thing is
my business has some problems with
cash flow, so I need money to manage it.
I don't have that much money.
[tense music playing]
Where is the watch I gave you?
You're not wearing it.
Did you sell it?
Are you in trouble or something?
Can you not change the topic?
Ten million is the problem.
How can our family not have money?
We have a huge business.
Game.
You know that it's a family business.
And Grandpa is not well.
Dad.
A family business, you say?
Why is Uncle's family getting so rich?
You're also Grandpa's son.
Why aren't you as wealthy
as everyone else?
Dad.
If you don't think about yourself,
you should at least think about your kids.
Look at my sister. She has to work
even though she's just had a baby.
Game.
Are you not satisfied living like this?
You're still not satisfied?
It's okay, Dad.
I'll take care of it myself.
Game! Game!
Are you feeling cold, Grandpa?
I'm better now.
I'll be right back, Mom.
What did you talk to Dad about?
Nothing.
You're so bad at hiding it.
Is something wrong?
[exhales sharply]
No, I'm fine.
Um.
[Grace sighs]
It's late. Why don't you stay over
and leave in the morning?
No, I can't. I'm very busy at the moment.
[sighs]
Take care of yourself.
[tense music continues]
Um.
What are you hiding in your hands?
What do you think?
Look at it. What is it?
[laughs]
It's cigarettes.
You're smoking again.
Let me be.
- I'll cut it down later.
- Um.
- You should take your baby to bed.
- Alright.
Drive safely. Don't drive fast.
- Got it?
- Okay.
Bye.
Catch you later.
[tense music continues]
[เสียงเพลงหยุด]
[car approaching]
[birds chirping in the distance]
[car door closes]
It's alright. I'll carry it myself.
Excuse me.
[car door closes]
What happened to Monk Dol?
Didn't Dear tell you about it?
[car door closes]
What the fuck.
BALANCE REMAINING 43,832,800
You know our debt is back
to the original sum?
Um.
Has Dear told you
that the cops are following me?
They can't do anything now. Don't worry.
[tense music playing]
- Did we get Jindamanee Powder?
- In about two days.
What about the footage?
- I'll take more.
- [Game] Hey.
Didn't you hear what I just said?
The cops are following me.
They have followed me
to the place we pay our debt.
They don't have any evidence yet.
What can they charge us with?
- It's not a big deal.
- Not a big deal?
How's that not a big deal? Huh?
You say it's not a big deal because
I'm always the one who takes the bullet.
Can you calm down?
Win is right.
How can the cops arrest us
if we haven't done anything wrong? Right?
I can be calm about the cops,
but I can't when it comes to debt.
We didn't pay all the interest last time.
It means we're back to the start.
So what now?
Will we get the money in time?
Or will both of you
take the bullet for me?
[Game] Huh?
Or will this shit you're drawing
shield me from the bullet?
I'm trying to solve
this problem right now.
[exhales]
[music stops]
[long sighs]
- [Game] What a fucking idiot.
- Game.
Game, damn it. Get back here?

How are the sales going?
So low.
Are there any orders online?
Around 300.
Damn it.
Fuck.
The sales are so bad.
Including the sales at the temple,
we've sold less than five percent.
What shall we do with the stock?
- I have to go.
- Where are you going?
To do some business.
What fucking business?
Can I go home too?
No, you're helping me with this. Here.
[sighs, tuts]
[sighs]
[shouting] Kai, Note, come here.
Help us move these.
If you help,
Game will buy you kratom drink.
Hot damn.
The White Girl knows kratom drink.
Get moving.
[Kai] Oh.
- So heavy.
- Isn't it a lot?
[ominous music playing]
[birds chirping]
[music stops]
[somber music playing]
[cock crowing]
Please visit here.

No.

UNKNOWN
YOUR NIECE IS ADORABLE, MR. AKKARACHAI
- [Game] Win, you bastard.
- What's the matter?
Can you two stop acting so chill
like everything is normal?
I told you we've got no time.
We really have to pay debt.
Have you seen any amulets getting sold?
Calm down. We still have time.
And they're starting to sell.
Starting to sell?
Why don't you use the time and money
you've wasted to look outside?
and see how deserted the temple is.
When you weren't here,
the cops were following me around.
Okay. You two said
they can't do anything to me, right?
Take a look at this.
These guys waiting in front of my house,
they can't do anything to me, can they?
- Are they doing this to your mom?
- Hey.
I have a way now, Game.
What way is it now?
Let's say we put away this lot
and order a new model.
I'll make this lot a rare item.
You think I'm stupid enough
to waste money on this crap?
How do you even know
it's going to become a rare item?
If you can see the future, look at mine
and tell me when my family will be killed.
[Win sighs]
I'm asking you to trust me one last time.
I told you
I don't have time for you anymore.
Fuck, will you listen to me?
I said I have a way.
[Dear] Can't you two talk nicely?
Shut the fuck up.
You only take your fuckboy's side.
[yelling] What the fuck is wrong
with you, Game?
What are you gonna do?
Tell me your plan. What is it?
[chuckles wryly]
Okay, fine.
If you don't want to say it, then don't.
If you don't have a plan,
I'll do it my way.
You can do whatever the fuck you want.
I'll let the amulet experts sell this lot.
Why would you pay them to do that?
Fucking nonsense.
Nonsense?
What the fuck do you do these days?
Who always cleans up the mess after you?
[yelling] Who is it? Me!
I'm always the one who has to clean it up!
- You want me to believe you?
- What?
I shouldn't have
gotten into this with you!
And do as you please.
I'm not doing this shit anymore.
Are you done talking?
If you're done, think about it. Is it me
or you who brought that damn creditor.
Weren't you the one
dreaming about making that shitty token
and created this trouble
and made me deal with it?
What the hell am I doing?
[yelling] Fixing your damn problem!
- Think you're the only one who wants out?
- How can you say you're fixing this alone?
Dear. Call the factory
and order another 100,000 pieces.
If you don't call them, I will.

[tires squealing, car engine revving]
[Dear] You were too aggressive, Game.
[Game] What about Win?
Why aren't you giving him a lecture?
I haven't seen him for days.
[Game] What wrong with him?
Not telling us anything
and going out every night?
When are you two gonna talk things out?
It's freaking annoying.
[Game] It won't change anything. Hey.
I need to hang up. I have to help
my sister take care of my grandpa.
Um. Okay.
[folding the phone]
[jazz music playing]
[indistinct conversations]
Out of all days, you want to meet today.
Are you sober enough to talk?
Yes, I am.
Well, I forgot.
Hey, I'm sorry that I've only made
one option for you.
I have been busy like hell lately.
Tell me honestly
if you don't like anything.
Seriously, it's freaking good.
Are you sure
you've never organized an event?
You're exaggerating.
Hey, Nott is looking for
an interior designer for his clinic.
Are you interested?
What clinic?
Well, it's just a beauty clinic,
but he has many branches.
If you can do this,
it'll be a long-term project for you.
I can try.
[Pui] Well then,
I'll talk to Nott for you.
If you have a portfolio of your work,
you can just send it to me via Line.
WIN: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Hey.
I need to go, and as for the rest
You leaving already? It's my hen night.
You're fine with or without me.
I love you.
Go. Go and be with your friends.
- Come with me.
- It's okay.
- Come on.
- I'm so busy.
- [man] Come on, Pui.
- Go on.
- [woman] Come on.

[Win] Why did you become a rescue worker?
Well, I think doing rescue work
is another way to help society
because accidents occur very often
in our country these days.
[rescuer 1] Being a rescue worker
is like helping society.
I also help relieve the burden
of the officers of various agencies.
I feel like I get to work
with other people as a team.
[Win] Okay. Good.
This should do it.
Alright. I'll go back to my van. Okay.
What are you doing here?
Boosting sales of our amulets.
Yeah?
If this plan is successful,
we can stop doing all this.
[Dear] Um.

Hurry.
Get in the van.
[van door closes]
- [van departs]
- [siren blaring]
- How long have you been coming here?
- A while.
Since the day I told you about the amulet.
If we only rely on selling amulets,
it'll take ages.
Aren't they curious about who you are?
[chuckles]
What're you gonna do about Game?
Fuck him. I'll talk to him myself.
Why don't you tell him?
Well, the cops are after him.
What about me? Why didn't you tell me?
Because it's dangerous.
Are you serious?
[thunder rumbling]
[indistinct conversation]
[man over the radio] This is the Center.

Get the injured. Quick.
[Win] Dear.
[indistinct conversations]
Why don't you go to the bus?
If you're gonna do this,
shouldn't we use bus victims?
Too many people. Someone might see us.
[Win] Damn it, give me a hand.
[grunts]
His legs are stuck.
How can we get him out?
[indistinct shouting in the distance]
[siren blaring]
[Dear] They're here.
[shouting] Hey, there's an injured person
over here.
[Dear shouting] Sir. This way!
[rescuer 3] Get the bed here.
[thrilling music continues]
[rescuer 1] Thank you so much.
If it weren't for your help,
he would have likely died.
Where are you taking him next?
[rescuer 1] The provincial hospital.
Since there are many cases,
we have to gather them there.
Anyway, I need to go.
[sighs]
Fuck, I'm sorry.
[indistinct conversation]
Let's wait for the next case.

[thrilling music continues]
Let's go with this case.
Let's go to the hospital.

[rescuer 1] Haven't you two gone home yet?
Sir, the man who was stuck in the car
Oh, the truck driver you helped is safe.
He is probably out of the ER already.
We would like to meet him.
Sure, I'll take you there. Come on up.
[tense music playing]
He should be around here.
Try looking for him.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
Bye now.
- Dear.
- Yes?
- How much do we have in our account?
- Around 200,000. Why?
[Dear sighs]
You're in a hospital.
Could you open your mouth? I'm going to
[music stops]
- Are you Pairach?
- Um.
we're here to tell you
that your car fell into a ditch.
How can that be?
Your car collided with a bus.
I remember that.
I remember that part.
Were you conscious when your car crashed?
Yes, of course.
I wasn't asleep.
The bus crossed over
to my side of the road.
I was just driving like I normally do.
[Pairach] And who are you two?
[suspenseful music playing]
We are here to help you.
Many reporters will probably
come to see you tomorrow.
I need you to tell them
you're alive because of this amulet,
and I'll wire you 200,000 immediately.
You can use it to make the down payment
for a new truck or we can help as well.
Oh.
I remember now.
You were the one
who pulled me out of the car.
That's right.
If you're saying I've saved you,
and now that you're alive,
can you return the favor
and tell the reporters
You should leave.
[tense music playing]
- I'm sorry?
- I said leave.
But if you get a new truck,
you can start
[Pairach] I said I'm not doing it.
[moaning]
[Pairach] I'm not accepting anything
from you guys.
Look at this.
Do you see my legs?
I can't move them.
I can't fucking move my legs.
So what the fuck
do you want me to tell anyone?
A new truck?
What's the fucking use of a new truck?
How am I supposed to drive?
Calm down. It might not be
that difficult. If you want money
[yelling] I'm not doing it!
[yelling] Get out!
[Pairach yelling] I said get out!
