Shit.
Did a burglar break into our house?
May I know what's been stolen?
Cash worth 5,784 baht.
LITTLE BANK LAUNDRY SERVICE
Since there isn't any CCTV,
it'll be hard to catch them.
It's most likely some teens who robbed the place.
You're still lucky though.
How so?
They must have been really drunk.
Look over there. They didn't take your motorbike.
Do you remember the license plate of their motorbike?
There were two of them. The motorbike was black and red.
Both were wearing dark full-face helmets.
The plate number is Lor Bor Kor 240 Bangkok.
We will have to request a full report from you at the station.
You can catch them, right?
If we have any updates on the case,
we'll get back to you.
Please excuse us.
They must have been in need of money.
Or else, they wouldn't have taken the risk of robbing us.
It could have been worse.
Why are you talking as if we're lucky?
You can see how bad it is.
As long as you're safe, it's good luck for me.
Mom, leave it alone.
I want to know if it's broken or not.
I have to try plugging it in.
Don't. You'll hurt your back.
Then come here and help me.
Leave it. I'll do it myself.
-I can help. -Mom, leave it.
-I'll help. -No need, Mom.
Mom!
Queue 378,
please come to counter one.
Does it hurt a lot?
No.
I just can't move my legs.
They suddenly went numb, Bank.
I don't feel anything at all.
Queue 379,
please come to counter two.
Wait a moment.
Excuse me.
My mom's legs have gone numb.
Can the doctor tend to her first?
You must wait for your queue.
The doctor is treating other patients now.
But my mom's condition is very severe.
Other patients who came before you must have waited too.
In case it's an emergency, I'll page a doctor.
Have a seat first and wait.
Wait until she almost dies or what?
I'll help you, Mom.
Bank.
What brings you here?
You can earn a lot cheating in exams, right?
Can you tell me how to do it?
This is the cost of microscopic spine surgery.
This package also includes a private room.
Please sign here
and contact our finance department on the patient's discharge date.
TOTAL: 500,000 BAHT

THANAPHON
I need money for my mom's surgery as soon as possible.
Do you have a job for me?
Are you sure
you want to do this?
Whatever it is.
Just tell me.

All right.
I agree that his story is tragic.
But how can we be sure
this Stinky Shirt here won't rat us out?
What would I get out of doing that?
I don't know.
You tell me.
He is our best chance at the moment.
It's up to you guys, then.
I'll explain everything to you.
How much are we going to get?
Someone is greedy.
One million.
Are you joking?
That's not funny.
How many people are sharing it?
That's yours alone.
As for Pat, Grace, and I,
we will get two million each.
And what do I have to do?
Both of us have to fly to Sydney to take the STIC exam together.
Ready? One, two, three.
Hey.
Smile a bit.
Is that how you smile?
Pat will find the clients,
and Grace is in charge of distributing the answers.
-Hello. -Hi.
Hello.
-Hello. -Hi.
Hi, beautiful.
Please have a seat.
The items we can take into the exam room are 2B pencils,
an eraser, the exam ID card, and the passport.
Anything else, we have to leave it outside.
How are we going to get the answers out of the room?
Each of us has to memorize half of the answers.
You do the first half and I do the latter.
Let's give it a try.
Section one has 52 questions. You have 45 minutes.
Go.
Stop doing the test. Start memorizing.
How can we send the answers back to Thailand?
Each of us has to bring two phones.
The staff will inspect all communication devices
before the exam starts.
We will leave one phone with them,
making it seem like we have no device.
We're lucky that the exam is divided into three parts.
There are two breaks.
We can send the answers back to Pat and Grace during the breaks.
Time's up for section one.
You have a ten-minute break.
As for the other phone,
we'll hide it under the toilet cover in the restroom
and use it to send the answers back to Thailand later.
How can the clients get the answers into the room?
A cheat sheet?
Barcode.
The answers are in the barcode.
We'll print them on a pencil,
using the barcode widths to represent the answer choices.
Choice A is the thickest.
Choice D is the thinnest.
There are four pencils in total to present the answers for each section.
The numbers next to the barcode
are answers for the numerical questions.
Sounds good?
What about the essay part?
Time's up for section four.
Next is the essay section.
This section is a writing test.
All we can do is to send the essay topic back.
Normally, the topic is based on a published article.
The clients can look into the topic online
and prepare themselves.
Since you don't need the STIC score for yourself,
you don't have to write the essay.
I want you to leave the exam room as early as possible,
so Grace will have enough time to print the answers on the pencils.
Will they let me leave though?
The most convincing way-out
is pretending to be sick.
You can puke, right?
If you agree to hire my team,
you'll have to pay us in cash within this week.
Cash only.
If not, then the deal is off.
Lastly, let me remind you
that I've recorded our conversation today.
Both you
and I,
we want to keep this matter a secret, don't we?
As long as I can trust you,
you can definitely trust me.
Can I get 500,000 of my share first?
You can't.
Our deal is that you must complete the STIC test first.
Then we'll split it.
What if you take the money and leave us hanging?
What are we going to do?
I won't do that to you.
You know that.
I don't, though.
A deal is a deal.
But I'm going out for some coffee.
About ten minutes or so.
If the money's gone during that time,
it has nothing to do with me.
Thanks.
Pat's acting was lame.
He didn't have to bother.
Such a bluffer.
Here.
This is yours.
Have you eaten yet?
You've been coming home late lately.
I've been at Grace's.
I'm not scolding you.
But it'd be nice if you call.
Dad.
This week, I'm going to visit Mom in Australia.
She sent me a ticket.
You've been talking to her?
Yes.
I called her last week.
Why did you call her out of the blue?
Why?
Can't I do that?
Did she invite you over?
Not really.
I just miss her.
If you don't finish it, put the leftovers in the fridge.
I talked with the doctor.
He wants you to stay here longer
since I'll be gone for my exam.
I don't see why I should stay.
It's a waste of money.
I feel a lot better now.
-I can take care of myself. -It's fine, Mom.
I'll be back in a couple of days.
And what are we going to do?
How are we going to pay the bills?
It's quite a lot, dear.
Is Pat's father okay lending us that much money?
He probably doesn't need it.
He told me there's no rush in paying him back.
I'll do my part-time job and…
return him the money along the way.
I found a new extra job already.
What job is it?
A tutor for exams.
Bank.
Are you hiding something from me?
Have I ever lied to you?
We looked into the plate number
and went through the CCTVs already.
We found that this guy is the owner of the motorbike.
He has a previous record for robbery.
PROFILE
Can you tell
if their physical appearances
resemble the culprits you saw that day?
I didn't see their faces.
When I rushed after them,
they were already on the bike, wearing helmets.
Are you calling these two in for questioning?
Yes, within a couple of days.
Here's the exam ID.
And these are the plane tickets for both of you.
The flight is tomorrow at 11:50 p.m.
I've booked seats that are far apart.
About the hotel arrangement,
do you want me to book one room or two separate rooms?
One room will do, babe.
It'll be cheaper.
I'd prefer two.
In fact,
I think you should even book separate hotels.
You know,
if one of us got caught
and they found out that we're staying at the same hotel,
both of us would be in trouble.
It's not like I don't want to stay in the same room with you, Bank.
Well…
I just think it's not safe.
We can't afford to take any risks.
Okay. Sure.
I see.
Sleeping in the same room
won't be safe.
Better safe than sorry.
Babe.
Who is coming, Grace?
No one's supposed to work here today.
Don't worry.
I ordered something.
What is it?
It's for him.
I ordered some flowers for your mom.
It'd be too late if I don't do it today.
I'll help you carry it.
Is someone calling Pat?
It must be the delivery guy.
INCOMING CALL
We found that this guy is the owner of the motorbike.
He has a previous record for robbery.
What are you doing, Bank?
Hey, man.
This isn't worth it.
The police have been watching me.
Can you pay me for all the trouble?
-Hello? -Bank.
-Can you hear me? Hello? -Who is it, Bank?
-Bank! -Bank!
Where are you going?
Oh, it's good you're here.
This is for your mom.
-Shithead! -Hey.
-Hey! -Hey!
-Stop it. -What the fuck?
-Asshole. -Bank.
-You jerk! -Don't.
-Damn you! -Bank!
Bank.
What's going on?
What the hell is wrong with you?
You hired those punks to rob my place.
I remember his phone number.
He just called you!
Bank, calm down first.
I just want your help with our plan.
What happened to your mom
-was an accident… -It's not your mom who fell
and couldn't move.
It's my mom.
But I didn't mean for her to get hurt.
I didn't know that.
Bank.
Fuck you! Screw you!
Damn it!
You bastard!
Bank.
-Bank. -Leave me alone!
You guys knew this, didn't you?
Did you know it, Lin?
Bank.
Lin and Grace didn't know.
It's me.
It's all on me.
Bank.
Bank!
If you leave,
you'll be going back to your shitty life!
I know you're mad at me.
But think it through.
I'm not the one responsible for your mom's fate!
She's been unwell for a long time!
Of course, I can pay for her surgery.
But even if she recovers,
she will have to keep doing laundry for a living.
Don't you want her to have a better life?
Bank.
Bank, listen to me.
Bank!
Damn it, Bank!
I can't believe any of this.
How could you do that?
How was I supposed to know
that his mom would end up like that?
You're unbelievable.
Lin.
Lin!
How could you do that?
Babe.
If I didn't do something,
how could we go to Boston together?
That doesn't justify your action.
Then what do you want me to do?
If you do something behind my back again,
I'll break up with you.
Let me go.
Babe.
LITTLE BANK LAUNDRY SERVICE
What Pat said is true, isn't it?
Bank.
Just ignore Pat.
You can choose to leave if you want.
I have no choice, Lin.
In the end, people like my mom and I
will be looked down on for the rest of their lives.
Even if we don't cheat,
life will cheat on us anyway.
I'll do it.
And you have to help me.
Are you sure?
When my mom gets back,
she won't see the house in a mess like this.
Our lives must no longer be the same.
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA
It's raining like this.
The kangaroos must have gone away already.
You know what?
I've never been abroad before.
My mom and I,
we never went on a trip.
She's been doing someone else's laundry all her life.
But we can't even afford to go to a nice hospital.
But look at us now.
I've just started working with you.
-It's not-- -I don't like what I've become.
You don't?
But I do like who you are now.
All right.
Since we're here,
let's take a photo.
One, two…
-Three. -Hey.
What if we get caught when they check our phones?
Right.
You're very cautious.
How about…
we pretend to take a photo instead?
Come on. Smile.
Is that how you smile?
Hey, I think I saw a kangaroo.
Where is it?
Here.
This one is looking curious.
And he's smiling too.
THE STIC EXAM DAY
Why did you do this?
Return the money to those students.
I don't want it.
And from now on,
you can forget about studying abroad.
This week, I'm going to visit Mom in Australia.
Did she invite you over?
Not really.
I just miss her.
Do you want Lin to stay with you?
Wan.
Can you hear me?
What's up, Vit?
How many years has it been since we last talked?
Since Lin got her scholarship in junior high, I guess.
I…
I hope I'm not disturbing you.
It's morning there.
What is it, Vit?
Oh, well…
I want to talk about Lin.
You already met her.
She's grown a lot, hasn't she?
Met her?
Yes.
What do you mean?
Haven't you two met?
Lin told me
that you're going to pick her up at Sydney airport.
-Were you stuck at work? -Hold on, Vit.
Is Lin coming to visit me in Australia?
Of course.
You sent her the ticket yourself.
That can't be.
I didn't send her anything.
I'll send you the photo.
I just sent it.
Vit.
She never told me that she's coming to Australia.
Did she lie to me?
How about this…
I'll try calling her.
In the meantime, try and see what else you can do.
Find out where she is.
Vit.
What do you think Lin is doing here?
Each of us has to bring two phones.
The staff will inspect all communication devices
before the exam starts.
We will leave one phone with them,
making it seem like we have no device.
As for the other phone,
we'll hide it under the toilet cover in the restroom
and use it to send the answers back to Thailand later.
