I'm very happy that the four of us are finally together...
Dad, I want to visit that place...
-Sure, let's visit that place today, we can all go together. -I just want to sleep.
Please, please. Let's go. Nan, please?
|LADDA LAND|
-Do you like it? -Yes!
Mum, I want to take a look inside.
-Hold on, let's take a picture. -Might as well pay off the mortgage.
Like it? Your father did it all by himself.
Lovely, your house faces the hill. You can't find this view anywhere in Bangkok.
Then do you know what 'Bangkok has'? Grandma, school and friends.
-You're not the only one who had to give up everything. -How many times have I told you I don't want to, but you dragged me all the way here.
What's the point of walking into my life now? He was doing fine without me.
Ben 10! (A super hero character)
It's Geki Ranger! (Another super hero character - I assume)
-Dad, what's that? -Yes, that. It follows us wherever we go.
Do you know what it's called? It's called the "Magic Eye"!
Idiot, it's called "Eye Sensor". All the new AC models have it.
-If it isn't 'Magic Eye', then how does it know where we are? -If you want to be an idiot, be my guest.
Stop it both of you. Don't argue at the dining table.
-I'm very happy that the four of us... -Hello, Grandma! Was doing something then you called.
Well the new house is ok, nothing fancy. Just an ordinary housing project but I reckon it can't be sold.
You've got a TV in your room? On our side we're grateful that we managed to afford one.
-Nan, don't talk on the phone during meal. -Yeah, my teacher says it's impolite.
-Did your teacher teach you not to interrupt other people while they are talking? -Nan, talk nicely to your brother.
-Why are you laughing? All I wanted was to surprise you. -All right, I'm sorry.
-Then let me open this. -Put down the glasses first, no?
-Do you need help? -It's ok, just stay right there.
Charming.
-Damn it, water, use the water. -Shit...
Just moved into the house and instead of making merit (Buddhist good deed), we have a bottle of wine and nearly burn down our house. Who will do the cleaning?
Don't worry, the maid will take care of it. While you were picking the kids up. I hired a Burmese maid, she's a hard worker.
Try to save as much money as you can. Your salary is 60,000 baht. And the mortgage is 30,000 baht.
Don't worry. Don't forget that I get an extra pay. Yoi told me it's at least 20,000 baht. Otherwise, I wouldn't have oved all the way here.
(Yoi) To be fair, the benefit of working in our company equals a steady life for the rest of your lives.
Look at Mr. Thi, my helper. He used to work at Thai Air in Bangkok. He had a dream like everyone else, wanted to have a house.
He spent 14 years, 14 years of his life but that company couldn't make his dream come true.
But within just 3 months after he decided to move to our branch... Do you want to know, what he achieved last month? Mr. Thi, would you please tell everyone, what you achieved last month.
-I bought a house. -WOW! A HOUSE!
-Hello -Why are my grandchildren using public transport? I bought you a car to drive and pick them up from school. Not for your husband! (Her mum only looked after Nan, not Nat.)
-I've helped you look after Nan for 10 years, I've never let her use public transport. -Mom, your grandchild is my child. Nan is 14 years old, even younger kids use public transport.
-You don't have to defend your husband. -I'm not defending him but you should be reasonable.
-He just bought an house and you didn't even give him a compliment. Besides, I don't have to work like I used to. -Why would I give him a compliment on something he should have done?
I have to go, I need to buy some groceries.
-Go ahead, you have to catch the bus. If you're late you'll be under fire. -Good
Get lost! Go. Get out of here.
-You said I spoilt the kids, what about you? -It was a special promotion, I don't have to pay the interest. Don't worry, I can pay it off.
-Nat will ask for one later. -Whose cat took a dump here?
-So it was you.. -What's going on?
-Can I help you? -Sorry, I threw my shoe at the cat who took a dump in front of my house.
Oh, my cat did it? I'm sorry. I'll do something about it. Nit, Nit.
-It's ok, it's not a big deal. -Don't worry. My name is Somkiat. I had business in Bangkok for a month
-so I didn't have a chance to introduce myself. -I'm Thi and this my is my wife Pan.
-Our cat shit in their front yard. Go clean it up. -I'm sorry, I'll go clean it up right away.
-Don't, I'll clean it later. -...Don't worry, I'll do it.
By the way, clean his shoe.
Please excuse me.
-Somkiat's family seems weird. -Leave them, don't get into their business.
Hey, have you reconsidered my offer? (Burmese maid)
Hey. Hey!
-Really mum, she has a crush on me! Really. -And why is that?
-Maybe it's because I'm handsome. -Oh really? All right Mr. Handsome.
-There's a lot of policemen, let's check what happened. -All right. Nat, don't run.
No one lives here but a foreigner, the owner, who comes to visit once every new year.
Then what about the victim? When was the last time you saw her?
-It's been several days, but today I saw the gate's lock broken. So I decided to call the police. -Mum, can you carry me?
-Mum, what are they doing? -Oh...umm...they're filming.
-Sir, the back door was broken. I'll go investigate. -Be careful.
Sir, it's messy in here, looks like there was a fight. And it's quite smelly around here.
Holy shit!!!
There's a female corpse in the fridge. Her face...it's completely...dissolved.
In this ongoing case, the police have investigated house number 8 of Ladda Land in Chiang Mai province.
After an investigation, the police have found the remains of a 20 year-old Burmese woman. According to the source, she was physically abused with a long object. The area on her face was dissolved with acid and the murderer proceeded to put her into the fridge.
The police suggested that the murderer must have known the victim and the cause of the murder was started by an affair.
-There was a murder, the victim was the Burmese maid you mentioned. -...it can't be.
-Why? -...it's nothing.
-It's bad, to have something like this happen in the neighborhood. -...it's normal. People die in every neighborhood. We just don't know about it.
-Pan, take her back to her room. -Come on Nan.
Let go of me! Let me go! Let go!
Makin! Makin! Makin! She's here, let me go!
She's here! She's here! Let me go! She's here!
Someone was killed in our neighborhood. Why didn't you tell me?
-Have you heard that her husband sold the house? -Yes, I heard Makin used to worked at his house. Everyone in the neighborhood who had hired Makin had packed up and left the neighbor. I don't think anyone would live in their house knowing someone who died used to work there.
-Let us pray for those who rest in peace. -I thought of hiring her to clean my house, luckily I didn't.
-Do you remember the maid you mentioned? -She left ages ago, stop listening to nonsense.
-Are the children asleep? -Nat went to bed, but Nan hasn't come home.
-She called this evening and said she'll study at her friend's place. -We just moved and now she starts coming home late? You should look after her more.
-What was the problem? -There was a woman standing on the road, I nearly ran her over. Thankfully I stopped my car.
Hey...
Hey, are you alright?
You should go to sleep, she called earlier and said she's nearly done. Her friend will drop her off.
I'll finish my work downstairs.
Nan.
Come on.
No, I don't think anything is stolen. I came down on time. Yes...yes...yes in Ladda Land.
Thank you very much.
-What happened? -Friend. -A guy or a girl?
-Just friend, does it matter if it was a guy or a girl? -Then why did you came home so late? -I've already told mum. -I know! But what kind of an assignment has to be done until 1 in the morning?
-An assignment that wasn't finished. If it was, I would've come home ages ago. Don't you think I'm tired? I have to go to school tomorrow. -Nan! -I'll talk to her.
-Hey! you should be careful where you point a gun! -But the gun is empty. -It's called a gun for a reason.
-If you want to play with it, you should be careful. -I wanted one for protection, a burglar broke into my house.
-What the fuck are you drinking tea for? Have you ever thought of helping to make a living? -I'm trying my best to look for customers for my clothing. -Clothing? You call this help? It's not enough to feed our son. Things we own and eat are bought with MY money!
-Ever thought of that?! -...maybe...you should stop buying those expensive toys for our son... -Don't you dare tell me what to do!
To be honest, it's good to let the kids play with each other. That'll give us time to rest.
-So how's your mother-in-law? -Oh...same as before...however this time her condition has gotten worse. So the doctor suggested my husband take her for a check up in Bangkok.
-And...aren't you scared of staying at home just the two of you? -...what can I do...?
Well, anyway. Whenever you're free or when your husband's out of town. You can come around mine.
-Look! This cat has a collar. -Oh? This camera that's attached to it? My dad said it's currently a hot item in Bangkok.
-Hurry up dad! -The laptop's upstairs.
-Nat, don't run up the stairs, you'll trip. -I...have a request...
Let's see, where did it travel?
-Look! It's the pool! -This is the pool next to our neighborhood.
-Hey, it spied on us. -Hey...that's our legs.
What's wrong?
-Why did you stop? -Well, they stopped.
Hey! What are you doing? Let's just go.
-Is this the house where someone was killed? -Well can't you see? It got yellow tape, just like in the movies. Let's check it out.
-Are you guys nuts? Why do you even want to go in? -Oh come on, let's go in. It's exiting. -Nah, it'll take time. My dad told me off last time. -You're that scared of your dad?
You guys go ahead, I'll stay. I'm wearing a skirt, kind of lazy to climb to be fair.
-Stop! I'm just messing with you guys. -Damn you bitch!
-Beep, Beep, don't enter. -It won't be long.
-That's not funny! -Are you scared? Well you said you won't come in so why are you here?
Hey! What are you doing? Open the door!
Mai?...Beep?...
Nan, Nan! Stop! Nan! I told you to stop! Stop! Do you hear me? Nan, open the door! I said, open the door!
-Mmm, mum what's going on? -Nothing, go back to sleep.
What were you doing last night?
-I saw a ghost last night. -I asked what were you doing last night.
-It's true! Last night me and my friends went into the empty house and a shadow walked past... -If you can't think of a better excuse then get lost!
Don't cry, keep eating.
-Keep it to yourself mum, there's a lot going on here. -My grandaughter was haunted by a ghost, who's going to be responsible for this?
-Mum, she lied. She said he was going to do her assignment with her friends, but she didn't. -But that doesn't mean she lied about being haunted by a ghost. Honestly do you think she would lie about such a thing?
-So now you're going to blame everything on him, is that right? -Well, since he's the head of the family, he has to take responsibility.
If it wasn't because he knocked you up, I would have never let you two get married.
-Mum... -And if your father was still alive...
Would you just stop comparing him with dad? Dad died ages ago. And let me tell you one thing, even if he was still alive.
-He would never try to make my daughter hate her own dad. No matter how much he hated him. -You're selfish for putting your children in such a position.
-So how it's going with the new house? Bet your wife and kids are happy. -Yeah, good enough.
Oh yeah, before I forget, our company has announced that they will delay this month's paycheck.
Oh come on, don't be surprised. It's kind of our fault since we didn't do our job as the Bangkok branch expected. So it slowed down the progress.
-Don't worry about it, it has happened to me before. During that 3 months I was stressed out and wondered when would I get my paycheck.
But it finally came, in grands, plus bonuses. So I'm happy whenever the company tells me the paycheck will be delayed. Don't worry too much.
I think I'll cancel Nan's Blackberry plan. How can a high school student spend around a thousand baht on a phone.
I told you not to, but you decided to give it to her anyway.
-Is she asleep? I'll have a talk with her. -She's doing her assignment at her friend's dorm. -What? She's out again? Did she not hear a single word I said?
-You know she's stubborn, the more you tried to stop her, the more she disobeys. -Stubborn just like your mother, I'm glad that I didn't let her take care of Nat.
I'm sorry...I've said too much.
Where does her friend live?
So tell me, what exactly did you see the other day?
-I didn't see anything but when I heard Mai scream, I ran my arse out. -I was unlucky.
-Could it be that Mai fooled us? -That can't be, because she looked like she was scared of something.
-Damn you! -Ouch, stop!
Nan, Nan!
-That's what you call working on assignment? You're just a kid what were you doing with that boy? -I was just playing. How could you do that? Do you know how embarrassed I was?
Embarrassed? You weren't so embarrassed just now. Didn't your grandma teach you about this?
Of course she did. She taught me everything and told me what to do and what not to. You're the one who was never there. If you can't look after your own child don't bother to have one next time.
-We still need to talk about what happened last time, and now you're giving me this kind of attitude? -You never listen when I talk to you nicely. When I told you I saw a ghost, you weren't even worried about me, but instead you told me off. -Because you lied!
-I did not! Our neighborhood is haunted. -Stop spitting nonsense!
-It is not, our neighborhood is haunted. Everyone knows about it. -Shut up!
You're the only one who's in denial.
-Shut up. I've told you it's not haunted. -It's haunted, haunted, haunted....
What are you doing?
-No! Let go of me, I won't go in there. No! Let got of me, let me go! -Get in here, I said get in here.
Let go of me, I told you I don't want to go in there. Let go!
-Stop it, let me go! -Take a look, there's no ghost.
Mum, I'm leaving.
-Nan! -She will stay at the dorm with her friends. She'll visit during weekends.
-How can you allow that? -Otherwise my mother will take her back to Bangkok. You don't want that, do you?
-Where the hell are you? -Umm, I'm at the airport. On my way to Bangkok actually. I was told to look after the project in Bangkok like usual.
-What about me? -Thi, we're both adults. You still don't get the hint, do you?
-I'm glad that your company succeeded. -Only because you helped me.
I was kind of surprised when I found out. Never thought you'd know where I live. Luckily you came here in time, otherwise I'd be out for the day.
Because you've resigned, my life has become a mess.
-I heard your new secretary is very helpful. -But I liked it better when you were around.
I'd be very happy if we had a chance to work together again.
-You're home early today. -I have a headache, so I left early.
Pan...Pan...
Thi...is something wrong?
Nothing...just a little headache.
-I'm sorry but the ad was printed ages ago. -We only accept applicants who are between 20 and 30.
-I'm sorry, but you have exceed the maximum age of our requirement. -Excuse me, I need to mop the floor.
STAFF NEEDED CLEANING STAFF START IMMEDIATELY
Pap, you look great. Are you going to work?
-So are you going to that neighborhood? -Ladda Land? -Fuck no, I heard it's fucking haunted. Step a foot in there and you'll be dead.
You're right, only idiots would still be living there.
-Are you mad? How could you do this to a customer? -But he was stealing!
-Then call the police. You're fired! -I. Am. Not.
What's my family going to eat if I'm fired?
-Golf, open the door, let me out. -What was that noise?
What are you doing? Nat, come here.
-What are you playing? What if something happened to him? -Well...he hid in the closet so I thought I'd play a prank on him.
Prank? If you're going to play like this then you're not welcome to play under this roof. Go home.
-Your son locked my son in a closet. What if no one was in? -Golf...
Did you really do what he said? Hah!
Satisfied now? Get in.
-Parn, Where's Nat? -He went to play with Golf.
Nat, Nat?
-Hello, Parn? -Hello, Thi? Where are you? Nat's home.
-Nat, why did you go into that house? I asked why did you go into that house? -Golf told me to get his cat.
Your son has gone too far! He tried to trick my son into that house. Who'll be responsible if something happens?
-And? Did something happen? -How can you say that? -Is that all?
-What kind of a father are you? If you can't give your son a lesson then I'll give him a lesson myself. -My family, I'll take care of it.
-Go tell your wife to mind her own business. -Then give me back my money!
-When did I borrow your money? -Your wife borrowed 10,000 baht from my wife last month.
You bastard, talk as if you're all that. If you're that great why can't you look after your family with YOUR money.
Here's your money, now leave my family alone.
Ugh, you fucking cat.
-Excuse me, they need you at the counter. -All right.
Do you want any sausage?
-How much? -12 baht... -Keep the change.
-Why didn't you tell me? -What's the point in telling you? -What's good in keeping it all to yourself?
-I have an interview with a company in 2 days. -I just borrowed their money, I'll deposit the money as soon as possible.
I'm going back to work. Mr. Manob opened a new branch in Chiang Mai.
You sure you're going back to work? And not going back to see him?
-I heard you've worked in market strategy in Bangkok for 10 years. Your skills will benefit us greatly. -Actually when a person moves, they will adapt to the new environment. But from my experience, the marketing...sorry.
So, from my experience, if we change our target from this area to another...
I'm sorry, probably something urgent from home. Hello, Pan? I'm currently in an interview.
-Mr. Thi, Mr. Somkiat shot everyone dead in the house. -His company probably went bankrupt, I heard he had over 10 million baht debt.
-I heard his wife had borrowed money from a lot of people. -Really? I thought I was the only one she had fooled. -So was I.
A murder has occurred in Laddaland. Over. The father has killed his family. Over.
Poor thing, I heard he was shot right in his face.
Mr. Thi, you didn't know what happened? Mr. Somkiat and his family have been dead for several days.
-I do not want to stay here anymore. Let's move. -Where? This is our home...and I'm about to get a new job.
-This has nothing to do with the job. You saw it yourself, our neighbors have been dead for several days. Then what have we seen the past few days... -Maybe it didn't happen.
-Pack up and move back to Bangkok. We'll start over again. -It's easy for you to say.
I have a mortgage to pay. If we move out now, I'll lose the house, the money in mortgage.
If I sell the house, there's nothing left for me.
You still have me and the kids. We were happy when we were renting a house, weren't we?
-Your mother will look down on me. -You care what my mother will say about you, but you don't care how me and our children feel?
Don't care? I worked hard everyday and bought a house for us so we can live as a family.
How can I not care?
Let's go back to Bangkok.
If we can't afford to buy a house, we can rent one again. We'll get Nan to stay with us. I'll help, I'll go back to work.
You want to go back to work? The only reason you nagged about going back to Bangkok was to see him, am I right?
-Wait, hold on. Let's get this clear. How many times do I have to tell you that he's only my employer. -Employer? Then why the hell did he come all the way to Chiang Mai?
-So what if he did? It wasn't the other way around. -It doesn't matter if you did or he did.
What's important, are you with him?
I'll try to convince myself that you're just angry. But if you think I'm that kind of a person, then it's better that we part ways.
Nat, Nat! Come down here!
How many times have I told you to put the toys away if you're not going to play with them?
-I didn't do it. -If you didn't, it's me then? -Golf did.
-Nat don't lie to me. Golf and his family haven't returned from Bangkok. -They're back, we're playing hide & seek at the moment.
-Do not lie! They have not return! -I didn't lie, they returned. Golf, come out, I don't want to play anymore.
Golf!
-Stop it! Stop lying. -I'm not...
-Nat, stop lying to me! -I'm not...
-Why are you lying to me? -...I'm not.
-Why are you lying? -...I'm not.
-Then tell me, where's Golf? -Maybe he went home.
-Lies, stop lying to me! -I'm not...
-Why are you like this?! Why are you lying?! How many times have I told you, don't lie.
-Why? Why? Stop! Stop crying right now! -Pan, pan!!
Why did you hit him? Have you gone mad? What's wrong with you?
-To think you'd call me, I must be dreaming. -Mum...
Forget about it. It doesn't matter.
No matter how much I hated your husband, you're my daughter. And I love my grandchildren.
If you can't live in that place anymore then move back to Bangkok.
I'd rather see your husband once or twice a week than to risk having my grandchildren being scared by ghosts.
Do you want me to talk to him? -No, it's ok. I'll tell him.
Nan, pack up. We're going back to Bangkok.
Excuse me. Is anybody home?
Nat, sit right here.
-Pan -Get off me! I don't want anything to do with you.
You love that house so much don't you?
You love it, right? Now look at our daughter. Look!
If you love it that much go back and live in it.
Nan is unlucky to have a father like you.
Get lost!
-Pan -Get lost!
-Dad, will you accompany me to sleep? -Of course.
-Nat, do you like our new home? -Yes
But I prefer our old home.
Pan, did you pick up our son? Is he with you?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Golf, is Nat here?
Where is he?
Somkiat, where is my son?
You bastard! Where is my son?
Nat, Nat, Nat! Wake up!
Nat, please wake up. Mum's here. Nat!
You know, when I was close to finishing high school, I had planned out my future with many ideas.
But when I found out that I was pregnant with you, my plan and dream was taken away from me.
All I could think of was "I'm still young, and I haven't graduated yet. How can I possibly be a mother?"
So I told your father...
That I'd have an abortion...
I thought to myself that we would have to end our relationship.
But the next day, you father showed up at grandma's home...
And told your grandma that he'd marry me.
He was told off by your grandma for ages.
But he was silent.
All he said was...
"This is my family, I will take care of them..."
"This is my family, I have to take care of them..."
Your father loved you very much...
