Good morning.
My name is Yupawan. I'm calling from the Thailand Post in Phuket.
Am I speaking with Mrs. Ornaree Ekmongkol?
ID card ending with 9771.
Current address, 29244 Soi Ruammit Samakkhitham.
- Is that correct? - Yes, it is.
We have found an illegal parcel sent under your name, Mrs. Ornaree.
It contains 18 bank account passbooks.
- And a mobile phone with many SIM cards. - This must be a mistake.
I haven't sent anything illegal anywhere.
I'll transfer you to the Phuket Provincial Police Station.
Mrs. Ornaree, you are being linked
to a money laundering case involving Chinese suspects.
I'll now transfer your call to the Superintendent.
- One moment. - Good morning.
I'm Police Colonel Wuttichai Panuchak.
This conversation will be recorded as evidence.
And you cannot discuss this with anyone.
Right now, we believe that you are a suspect in a money laundering operation.
You are aware of this, aren't you, Mrs. Ornaree?
I'm not involved in any criminal activity.
No criminal ever admits it.
Mrs. Ornaree, you must transfer the money to the inspector's account
at the Anti-Money Laundering Office.
And the money will be transferred back to you later today.
- Do I really have to? - Why? What's the problem?
Do you have financial activity you don't want us to know about?
SEND THIS VIA MESSENGER IT'S A BIG DEAL!!!
Not at all. No.
- No, I don't. - Do you have other accounts?
A joint account with my husband.
But that's our savings for our daughter's education.
You don't need to check that, right?
Ma'am, I am already trying to expedite this process for you.
For joint accounts, we'd also have to question your husband.
We'd also have to coordinate with the Revenue Department for an audit.
Please fill in your account details in the link I've just sent you!
I've done it.
I'm glad we could be of service, ma'am.
The number you have dialed is no longer in service.
You've fallen for a very old trick.
It's good that you only lost 500,000 baht.
A few days ago, someone reported losing over two million.
Officer, is there any way of tracking these scammers?
You must accept the fact.
It's almost impossible to find these people.
This is in the news every day.
I still don't understand how you fell for such an old trick.
A mistake was made. No need to rub it in.
It's our money. I worked hard for it.
Do you think I'm not angry?
For right now, it will go in the daily police report.
Don't tell anyone, Benz.
Promise me that you won't tell a soul about this.
Especially Belle.
I don't want her to think that…
her mother is an idiot.
Come on, Orn.
You're not stupid at all.
It's lucky that you didn't give them Belle's account, too.
After this semester, she'll start a new school.
We will need a lot more money then.
Hmm…
Scammers continue to use all kinds of tricks to deceive us.
Some target people with romance scams, investment schemes, or phishing links.
The methods keep changing,
but the core strategy is always the same, create fear.
If we look closely, we'll see the same patterns and steps every time.
There's the first caller whose job it is to shock the victim.
The second caller convinces the victim that the situation is real.
The third caller uses threats to intimidate
and to exploit our weaknesses to control us,
making us follow every step before they go in for the kill.
I'm glad we could be of service, ma'am.
Mmm…
What is it, Orn?
Someone was here.
It's been over a month now.
Time to move on.
Or you won't be able to live your life.
Who's next?
Please go ahead.
My name's Fai.
I'm a physical therapist.
I didn't even dare go and file a police report.
I just felt so stupid.
Since they tricked me out of all my life savings,
I haven't had a good night's sleep since.
Whenever the phone rings and I don't recognize the number,
I don't even dare answer it.
Every night,
I feel like…
someone is secretly watching me in my bedroom.
"Police Colonel…
Wuttichai Panuchak."
A name I'll never forget.
INPATIENT PHARMACY
Nine hundred and seventy thousand…
My life savings.
I could pay my student loan.
Renovate my mom's house in the province.
I dreamt of…
owning my own condo. No more renting.
All of the down payment, gone so quickly.
So, Dr. Fai, why don't you work in a private hospital?
Surely, the money is better.
I'm not a doctor.
I'm a physical therapist.
I just think…
that the patients here need me more.
That day when they called,
saying that my name was involved with a criminal gang,
I'd lose my medical license,
I just…
freaked out.
Gave them everything.
No good, Benz?
Mmm. Um, it's spicy.
Oh, okay. Can you eat it?
I, uh, went to a meeting at the school with the other parents tonight.
I came back late and had to cook in a hurry.
If you don't have the time, you could always get takeout.
So you're not so rushed.
Belle, can you play that piano piece yet?
Yes, Dad, I can.
I would love to hear you play it soon.
Yes.
Turn left,
turn right, face forward, take one step,
bow.
One more time, please.
Turn left,
turn right,
face forward, take one step,
bow.
One more time. Step back.
Turn left, turn right, face forward,
take one step,
bow.
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS NEWS?
One more time. Step back.
My grandmother was scammed by a piece of shit
who stole all her money!
Here, called Police Colonel Wuttichai.
He scammed a million out of my gran.
Good cops are hard to find. And now we have fake cops?
Fuck! We worked so hard just to make a little money.
You fucking scammer!
You fucking pay, asshole! Go fuck yourself!
Is it this one?
I think a bit further.
GRANDMA'S SOY MILK
Grandma. Hello.
- Hello, there. - Is that a game you're playing?
Oh, yeah, I'm playing a game.
- Who are you? - Um, I'm a friend of hers.
- I see. - Do your knees hurt?
- A little. - How much did each of you lose?
Mine was over a million.
I shouldn't have kept it all in one account.
It's fine if it was just me.
But Grandma sold milk her whole life, and they took all of her money.
- Fucking pricks! - Wawwow!
- What? - Who are you swearing about?
Who's a prick?
- I'll smack that mouth. - What for?
I'm not swearing. I'm talking you up to them.
We good? Yeah?
Seriously.
She still thinks the money is coming back to her.
And I have to keep lying to her every day that the money's coming back soon.
They don't care about anyone.
My granny's old, so I get it.
But, you two…
You look…
smart.
And you're a doctor, aren't you?
- How did you get scammed? - Not a doctor.
What about you? What evidence do you have?
Well, we know his name and the dummy account he uses.
Will that be enough to make the police work faster, Orn?
The police, huh? Now I understand.
I get it.
I get why you both got scammed.
You trust the cops. How stupid could you be, huh?
GRANDMA, ARE YOU DOING OK?
Well, if we don't go to the police, who's gonna help us?
Hey, this message here was sent a few hours ago.
Let me see that.
Shit! They're still playing this out.
Sending messages even after she was on TV?
I heard on the TV that if we keep engaging them on the call,
they'll find a way to scam us for even more.
Asshole!
This bastard is still trying to trick my grandma.
- Hey. - Wait.
What?!
If we keep them talking to us,
maybe we can find out who they are.
YOU HAVEN'T TRICKED ME, HAVE YOU? I HAVE NO MONEY LEFT TO PAY THE DOCTOR.
THE MONEY IS STILL BEING INVESTIGATED.
Damn, they actually replied.
This time, I'll make it impeccable.
- Transfer it to the same account. - Yeah.
- Hey. - Go left, man. Go left.
- You hit the pole. Damn it. - The fuck?
Go to the right. More to the right. Further to the right!
Yeah, that's it.
- Hey, OJ. - Shit. Wow.
- What are you doing? - I, uh…
- Do you need me to fix something? - No.
Just need your help with something.
This is no use.
The info you've got, it's not enough.
It's always on the news.
These guys operate on the border areas.
Like the Golden Triangle or Poipet, away from here.
Most of the signals you see are just fakes from a SIM box.
No way. Bangkok?
Well, a fake signal from a SIM box stays in one place.
But this one, it's jumping from one tower to another.
That means they're on the move.
Maybe in a car.
The signal stops at this tower.
And that means they're somewhere around here.
LOMA - YUI'S DAUGHTER
MY CONTRACT IS ALMOST UP. I WAS INVITED TO WORK IN BANGKOK.
DELETE CONVERSATION?
What the hell?!
Stop sitting there looking stupid. I told you to read the script!
Do I have to shock you into it, or do I just sell you?
Hey!
Have some patience with her. She just got here.
She doesn't know. I'll train her.
Just do it, okay?
If you don't, you won't eat.
And you'll get hurt for nothing.
I don't want to scam anyone, Yui.
You're just the first caller.
It's not the dirty work. It's not a sin.
Watch me.
- Hello? - Good morning.
Am I speaking with Mrs. Amporn Sae-eab?
Who are you?
I'm an officer calling from the bank.
Your name is involved in a money laundering case
we have found linked to Chinese criminals.
What? No, no, no. Never. I haven't done anything.
I don't know any Chinese. I have no idea what you're talking about.
Okay, well, I still need to transfer your call to the police officer.
Oh, okay. Okay. All right.
Good morning. Police Captain Jetsada speaking.
Ma'am, to verify your identity,
could you open the link that I'm sending through to you?
And camera, too.
Okay, can you hear me clearly?
And you can also see me? Sit up straight, Grandma.
Now, this call will be recorded.
Your name has been linked
in a connection with the money laundering case.
It's a major case with serious consequences.
- Oh, well, what should I… - Grandma,
our investigation found that a certain amount of money
was transferred from your account to one overseas.
No, no. Never, never.
- I've never transferred money. - Please calm down.
I'll transfer this call through to the Police Colonel. One moment, please.
Hello, Grandma. I'm Police Colonel Wuttichai Panuchak.
Are you alone, Grandma? Your granddaughter's not with you, is she?
The next step, in order to prove that you are innocent,
you will need to transfer your money to the account that I've just sent you.
You must do it now, Grandma.
Transfer the money now.
Awesome! How about that?
- Whoo! - One million!
Aood.
"You really want to quit?"
My contract is up at the end of the month.
Time to go home.
"What a shame."
"You're talented."
"You close every case."
"You've helped the company."
"Would you stay a little longer?"
I miss my son, boss.
But I have already trained several really good people.
There should be no problems, boss.
"Good luck. If you get rich, don't forget your old boss, okay?"
Never.
Hmm…
NO PHOTOGRAPHY
- Hey. - Shit.
- Check everywhere. - Yes, sir.
Check the outside, too.
Mark, stop!
Chief called and said to stop.
Stop for what?
But I just found some evidence and sent a team to check it out.
This cable in the pipe drain probably connects to the other side.
This is Congressman Tong's house.
Why are we searching a politician's property?
We're fucked!
Hey. Hey, wait! Fuck!
Hello. Next up is a premium cowhide leather handbag
with a beautiful pattern. It is perfect for the lady of the house.
The front belt is a gold tone and has two compartments inside.
Ole!
- Daddy! - Daddy's home!
Oh, wow, have you missed me?
- I did. - Oh.
- Hey, you. - Eaten yet?
Not yet. Order what you want.
- I'm flush. - Okay.
Here. I've got a new toy for you.
A police car.
Hey, it's a big one.
Let me see how heavy you are now.
Oh, you're big. I can hardly lift you now.
- Do you like it? - Yeah, Dad.
Well, if you like it, give me a kiss.
Oh, so good!
My grandmother was scammed by a piece of shit
- who stole all her money! - Yui. Yui, look at this.
Here,
- called Police Colonel Wuttichai. - This girl is furious.
- A million… - Sounds like she's lost millions.
I'd love a million.
- Make it two. - Sure thing.
We worked so hard just to make a little money.
You fucking scammer!
You fucking pay, asshole! Go fuck yourself!
WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER? WHEN WILL YOU RETURN MY MONEY?
HOW ARE YOU, GRANDMA? WE ARE STILL INVESTIGATING.
Grandma, did you see a woman carrying a baby? She stole my money.
I'm sorry. I didn't see anyone. Go! Go, go away. Go on now.
Oh, my God.
What have you done?
Don't cover your baby's mouth and nose. She'll suffocate.
Here, this is for you.
Eat it, and feed your baby as well.
And also take this, too.
And don't ever steal from anyone again.
If the cops get you, what about her?
She's a baby.
Do you understand?
- Can you get out? - Yeah, I can.
Come.
Hurry up.
KING KARAOKE
Let's get down to business!
Meet Mac.
He'll write the software for the apps, set up the links,
and manage all your customer accounts.
Over there is Mhee.
He will look after your well-being.
You'll eat well, sleep like a VIP, and live in comfort.
Anything you need, tell him, he'll get it for you.
- And this here is Yui. - Step one.
The veteran who got me started in this business.
- She'll train you. - If a customer asks…
You must know all the tricks and learn the new ones.
The guidelines for this job are as follows.
You need to be up-to-date on the latest news,
and all situations going on in the country.
When a customer asks a question, you can't go blank.
You can't die on the mic. And I'll be here to close every deal.
Half a million!
Even though we're a new generation startup,
our company will keep developing and keep growing.
And who's managing the money in the mule accounts for you?
And the customer data, where did it come from?
Yui, the less you know about it, the better.
Just leave the rest of it to me.
You all just focus on your job and do it well.
You'll have plenty of food to eat.
And you'll all be rich before you know it.
I wasn't aware you already had a list of clients.
I thought we'd be starting from scratch.
So I logged in to check on an old client.
Do you remember this one?
I thought we could get more from her.
ARE YOU LYING? I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO SEE THE DOCTOR.
Excellent, Yui.
Let's kick this off with an old client.
Let's milk her dry and show the kids what to do.
And then we'll all get fucking rich!
Crazy rich!
Hey, clap your hands. Let's get going!
- Let's get ready to be rich. - Rich!
You watch Yui, and you watch her really closely.
But you need to come up with your own style.
Watch how she replies and how she continues the conversation
to keep them on the line and reeling them in.
No one would dare set up in Bangkok.
But, tell me, where did you get this information?
You know, hacking for information is also illegal, right?
Knew it!
- All too hard. Just hassle the innocent! - Hey now, watch your mouth.
You look familiar.
Were you protesting outside the Ministry a few years back?
Why? What if I did?
- Are you one of my followers? - Go.
- You want my autograph? - Wow, let's go.
- Let's get out of here. - Thank you.
See? I told you.
- They won't help. - That's enough.
Don't say anything else.
Why didn't you tell us that you have a police record?
Why did I have to?
It means we can't rely on the police now, Wow.
- Mmm. - So I'm in the wrong?
They weren't gonna help us out in the first place.
- Then who is going to help us out? - We do it.
Do you know…
why my generation prefers to stay quiet?
Because people like you keep telling us to shut up.
Your generation has been submissive your whole lives.
If you're not prepared to help yourself, then go ahead and deal with it all alone.
Huh?
Orn is very preoccupied
and she's finding it hard to give Belle the attention she needs.
She was recently scammed out of a lot of money.
We have filed a police report, but we are still waiting
to hear any updates back from their investigations.
Please just take good care of Belle for us, son.
Her mental state seems very fragile.
As for the case, please keep us informed if you have any updates from the police.
Of course, when I do hear back, I will be sure to let both of you know.
Please, Mom and Dad. Don't worry.
We appreciate you coming along today.
If we're going after them ourselves,
how should we go about it?
We could try luring the person chatting to Grandma to meet up with us.
Then we could just follow them back to their base.
What do you think?
Okay, well, if that's the plan,
we're gonna need some tools.
We probably need to use a tracking device and something we can eavesdrop with.
It certainly makes you wonder, are our lives really that private?
I JUST FOUND MY GOLD. DO YOU NEED IT FOR THE INVESTIGATION?
HOW MUCH GOLD DO YOU HAVE?
How much do I say?
TEN OUNCES.
Ask where.
WHERE SHOULD WE MEET?
Son of a bitch.
Fucking pricks couldn't agree fast enough.
Are you sure about this, Aood?
Showing my face to Grandma?
Why would you let her see your face?
You're going there to steal it, Yui!
Your old job, right?
We'll use Dr. Fai's hospital as the meeting place.
Place the bag with the tracker next to Grandma.
Grandma.
- Wait here for a moment, please. - Okay.
And watch this bag for me. My friend will collect it.
Okay, take your pick.
- Let's get three of that. - Okay.
A small listening device will be hidden underneath.
Two necklaces there.
The listening device will lead us right to their address.
Hey, is this the one?
- Excuse me. Excuse me. - Excuse me.
Please make way.
- Please make way. - Out of the way.
- Please make way. - Keep your eyes on that bag.
Make way.
Move, move! Come on.
Grandma! Huh?
The gold is still in here. The listening device, too.
The woman in the yellow shirt. Go to plan B, now.
Yui, what the hell is going on?
The target didn't show. What could I do?
- But arranged-- - Sir, it's your turn for the examination.
- How did you manage to slip out? - What? I'm not sick.
Oh, no, no! I'm sorry. Excuse me. Sorry.
Oh, I'm so sorry. Here, I'll help you pick it up.
Sir, your name is being called.
Your muscles are really tense.
- I can pick it all up myself. - Your muscles are really tense.
I'm sorry, I was in a rush.
- Don't worry. - I see another coin over there.
You have so many.
I think that's all of them.
I'm so sorry.
Oh! You're not Mr. Weera.
I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry about that. - I said I'm not.
Stupid.
What the fuck just happened?
Fucking hell!
Quickly, get in.
I don't understand.
She didn't take the gold, but also left cash.
I've got a signal. It's right ahead of you.
Hey, Orn, look at this. It just came from Wow.
I'LL PAY YOU BACK BIT BY BIT.
Stairs. Come on.
Come on.
FOR RENT
I don't know. Maybe Yui is the best to explain.
I told you to get the 10 ounces of gold.
Do you know how much that is?
And you come back empty-handed!
- Explain it to me! - She didn't show.
And it felt way too risky to wait there.
Don't you understand, Aood?
How do you know she wouldn't show up? Why not wait a bit longer?
I've seen this in the news.
What if the person texting wasn't the grandma?
Come on, Orn. Let's go.
What are you saying?
That the police are trying to set a trap for us?
You did the right thing, Yui.
From here on out, no more dealing with old clients.
Let's find some new ones.
We're a start-up. We're gonna start fresh.
Scrap the old client list.
Find new customers. Find more. Find every last one.
Only new clients. Understand?
You need to sit down.
Hey!
How did it go?
Orn.
Hey, Orn.
Hello, I'm interested in renting a room.
Yes. I'll sign the contract now.
We're getting in way over our heads.
We… we don't even have the money.
I'll pay for it.
I'm going to get all our money back.
Hey, I like that fucking spirit.
Are you sure it's worth going this far?
You only lost 500,000.
It's not just about money.
I want my life back. I want to feel safe.
ROOM FOR RENT PLEASE CALL 098-536-3935
You want them to gain your confidence.
OJ will help us bug the room and record everything.
Especially with anything relating to money trails.
Our goal is to gain access to all of the accounts that Aood uses,
so we can find a way to get our money back.
All of you must believe that you're the police.
If you believe, then they will.
Right now, we have no idea how many of them there are.
What we do know…
- Don't panic. Just go with the flow. - …is there's Aood and Yui.
Those two are the leaders of the organization.
Got it.
Find their weaknesses. You have to dig deep.
Family, job, tax.
You need to make them feel guilty.
Don't be afraid of them.
They need to be afraid of you.
We know the hours they operate.
The office runs from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Mac, the IT guy, stays in his office 24 hours.
All of the staff sleep in the other room.
With Mhee, the thug, watching over them.
No one leaves the office.
If someone wants something, Mhee will go and get it.
Aood leaves every night.
I figure he's going home.
He must have family here in Bangkok.

Wow, man, that was fucking intense.
Awesome!
Hey, Aood.
Why don't we just send fake SMS links?
It'd be quicker.
- Because you're lazy, huh? - No.
No. I just mean…
It's just you could send out hundreds of texts at a time,
or Mac could make some clips with fake voices or something.
So you wouldn't have to work so hard, Aood.
Why do you think I work so hard?
I'm working hard for you, so you work hard, too!
We were born poor.
With no education.
All our lives, they look down on us.
Look over there.
We have to watch the rich live better lives than us.
And then, one day,
you get a chance to connect into their lives.
You find their weaknesses,
scare them out of their safe lives.
So scared, they shit their pants.
And then, you crush them under your feet as you climb up.
Fucking son of a bitch!
- Shit. - Wow.
- I'm gonna get this prick. - Wow! Where are you going?
- Let me go! - What's wrong with you?
I'll crush them!
- Please, Wow. - Just calm down.
- Calm down! - Calm down.
- Just take a breath. - Sit down.

you know how good it feels.
That's why you have to get better, to experience it for yourself.

We still don't know anything about the money trail and how it works.
Where the victims transfer their money, and who's in charge of those accounts,
and how do they get it to cash.
Hey, Fai.
Should we pretend to be Grandma and chat with Yui again?
Try and get more information.
I don't want Yui to take more risk.
I have a feeling she doesn't want to do this job.
Otherwise, why would she give the money back?
Hey, if she didn't want to do this, she would have quit a long time ago!
Well, the information must be in their computers, right?
If we can access their system, I should be able to find it.
So, how do we do that?
Make our own phishing link.
I have a friend who could help do that.
He's good at apps.
But… how do we know they'll click on it?
We could make a deep fake of someone to fool them.
Deep fake of who? We don't know anyone they know.
Ugh! It's all too hard.
We could always just sneak into their offices.
Mm. Yeah, sure.
This is real life, not the movies.
I'm a housewife.
You sell face cream.
You're a doc.
- There's no Tom Cruise here. - Not a doctor.
Again. There it is.
You guys are always like this.
You said you wanted your life back.
Wawwow is right.
All we've been doing is sitting here and listening to them.
We haven't really done anything.
Fai.
Now you're sounding just like her.
All right. What's next?
We need to think carefully.
I don't want to put anyone in danger.
You follow?
Do whatever you want.
We have discovered that your name has been linked
with a money laundering scam involving a Chinese criminal syndicate.
Really?
Patch him through.
Let me transfer the call through to the superintendent.
Are you there, sir?
We're dealing with a very serious matter.
Turn the camera and confirm your ID.
Turn the camera around now.
We need to record this as evidence.
Evidence my ass.
I'm recording your face as evidence.
- Got him… - Look at your face.
- Here we go. You're done. - You're so pale, asshole.
- Pale my ass! - You're no cop.
Fuck you!
Fucking motherfucker!
Get to work!
You're all fucking useless.
I told you.
You believe in yourself, they will believe!
If they don't believe in you, they won't believe in me!
You people have no discipline. I told you to practice.
I never had this in Poipet.
Lazy. Waking up so late. Fucking slackers.
What kind of cop has a moustache?
Lazy as fuck!
- Look at your face. - So pale.
And, Yui, what the fuck are you doing right now?
Look at his moustache.
We got him, man. We got him.
I've been live for a while waiting for you to show your face.
- Now, I'm going after your parents. - No more phones.
I want everyone's phones right now.
- I'm taking everyone's phones. - Aood…
- Give me back my phone. - No more Mr. Nice Guy. No more phones.
- Hand them over. - Please give me back my phone.
- I've been too nice. - I want my phone!
I need it to talk to my daughter!
I want my phone!
No talking!
From now on, no more phones for any of you.
Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. This is bad.
Hey, Fai.
Aood's taken Yui's phone.
If he finds that bugging device, we're fucked.
- Oh, no. - What do we do?
Stop it. Give it back.
Aood, give me my phone back. This is crazy.
Please, you need to calm down.
Are you not aware, Yui?!
Sales have dropped.
Your job is to train them.
But they're all crap, every one of them.
If numbers don't improve, you're not getting them back.
Aood, just calm down, okay?
Look… Where are you going?
Getting the money for you, guys!
The money, the accounts!
I'm doing everything!
- Fuck it! - Aood!
Shit.
SHIT! AOOD TOOK YUI'S PHONE.
Belle, did your math teacher come here today?
Mm-hmm.
- She did? - Mmm.
I'm gonna be away for a few days,
but when I come back,
we'll have to do some practice together, okay?
Okay.
THEY MIGHT THINK WE'RE FOLLOWING AOOD.
Harder, Colonel. Oh, yeah, that's it.
Harder, harder, Colonel.
Wei's pretty pathetic, huh?
His doesn't even compare to yours.
Where is it?
So impatient.
I'll get it.
Do you know how hard it was to get this for you?
Wei could've woken.
I was scared shitless.
I know. That's why you get a bigger cut than anyone else.
It better be bigger.
I handled the mules and the money.
I even stole the databases for you.
Can you get me more mules?
I want to expand the business.
Slow it down, Aood.
I'm already confused enough in this. Working for you and boss.
Confused?
My money gets transferred every Tuesday morning.
- OJ, can you get me their location? - I'm on it.
Got it. A motel called My Lady.
I'll go there now and find out who she is.
Can we plant a bug on her as well?
We can do more than that.
My friend has written an app that clones all the data on a phone.
Little Rabbit.
Let's meet at the office at 9:00 p.m.
We have to get into that room and steal that data
before they transfer it tomorrow.
Orn, are you okay?
Oh! Benz.
Uh, I…
Is it okay if I sleep over at Jang's house?
Her sister's engagement ceremony is tomorrow morning.
Jang?
Uh, they didn't tell you about this earlier?
What time do you need to go?
Uh, I'm meeting her at 9:00 p.m.
Could you put Belle to bed first?
You always tell me I'm not very good at reading her a story.
Mmm.
OJ, I can't really see anyone.
What does he look like?
This place is seedy.
Honestly, Fai,
I've never actually met him before.
What?
Didn't you say he's a friend?
Yeah, sure. Online gaming friends.
- Dr. Fai. - Ah, he's there.
Not a doctor.
Hey, are you Little Rabbit?
How does it work?
Fai. Hey, Fai.
They're leaving the motel now.
Hey, Orn.
There's only one left at the office. What now?
I'm putting my daughter to bed.
Don't do anything. I'll be over there soon, understand?
Fuck this.
Hello, can I get two orders of Shrimp Pad Thai?
Tell them not to put any dried shrimp in it, okay?
The next station is Sam Yan.
The doors will open on the left.
The next station…
So, I just need to plug this into every computer in that room, right?
That's right. Just plug it in.
Nothing else.
Wow, what are you doing?
Time's running out.
If we don't go now, we miss our chance.
I'll be Tom Cruise.
Don't be crazy, Wow. Just wait for…
The next station is Silom.
The doors will open on the right.
Transfer to the light green line at this station.
Next station, Silom.
Doors will open on the right.
Transfer to the light green line at this station.
Let's do it.
And that's all I said.
Hey, hello!
- Yeah. - Oh, you did not.
- Hello. - Wow, you're fast.
- Uh, wait, bro. Uh… - Hmm?
You haven't paid for it.
Huh? Didn't I pay already?
No, you haven't paid.
What the hell?
Hey! Uh…
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Two-fifty.
- Huh? - It's 250.
Expensive. For two Pad Thai?
With extras!
Okay. I'll get the money.
Wait, wait, uh, wait. You said you're already paid, right?
Let me check for you.
Hey, pervert, what's your problem?
You keep bumping into my ass.
- What the fuck is wrong with you? - Uh…
Well, I…
Well, what? Don't play dumb, asshole.
The train is arriving at Silom Station.
- …we're squished in. - That's bullshit.
The doors will open.
I'm sorry, all right?
Please mind the gap between the train and platform.
- Uh… - Come with me, you sick fucker.
Hey, excuse me! Come and arrest this piece of shit.
- Excuse me. Excuse me. - Hey! What?
- You just dropped your phone back there. - Uh, okay.
- You did pay. That's right. - I did.
My bad. Sorry.
I just need to take a photo to confirm the delivery.
Hey, hurry up. I'm starving.
Uh, just lift it up a bit higher. That's it.
And smile!
Oh! That's great. You look really badass.
Taking photo one, two…
Here's your Pad Thai.
This is not Pad Thai.
- Oh, shit! Shit! - Who are you? Tell me.
Wait, what? This isn't room 405? Sorry. Sorry. Wrong room.
- Hey. - I'm leaving now. Bye.
Shit, this is bad.
Wow is still in the office.
Amy.
Hey! Boss.
Hey to all my favorite people!
This leather bag is made from extra super soft leather.
Press it, and the leather bounces right back.
Not just the outside's soft,
the inside is suede.
Plus, it also comes with a very versatile set of compartments.
WEI IS HERE. WE'VE GOT A MOLE. TOMORROW'S TRANSFER CANCELED.
…will be happy with it.
We also include a strap.
Just attach, and you can carry it on your shoulder
or wear it across your body.
Next up is a beautifully shaped bag perfect for everyone.
Check it out. It's super cute. Let's peek inside.
It also just come as a set.
Enough room to put your short wallet, your phone.
It really is a go-anywhere bag. I love it.
I cannot believe you. You're incorrigible.
Goddamn. What the fuck now?
The delivery guy said he dropped food off at the wrong room.
Do you still…?
Do you still have the chicken kaphrao?
What krapow? No krapow here.
Uh…
So, uh, who's going to be responsible then?
Responsible for what?
Huh? Do you hear me?
What are you doing in my office here this time of night?
I asked you a question.
I asked you what you're doing here!
Sis! Forget it. I'll just order another krapow for you.
Hey! Come on now!
Hey. Where's Wow? Is she still in there?
I don't know. I didn't see.
Come on, Orn. Sit down first.
What's going on?
Bring everyone here right now.
Come on, pick up.
Pick up.
How the hell does he know we've opened an office here?
What are you doing?
Are you the mole for that bastard? Huh?
No! It's not me. I promise you.
If it's not you, then who?
You're the only one who came from his office.
And your contract wasn't even up yet when you came, bastard.
But, please, it's really not me. Believe me!
So you're saying it's not you? Then who is it?
I wanted us to be like a family.
But you forced me to be like this.
Are you a fucking mole, huh?!
Tell me the truth!
Aah!
Aood.
- Why are you doing this? - Yui.
I'm the one who brought him to work for us.
If you don't trust him,
you could just talk to him.
Orn, wait!
- Where are you going? - Can't you see how dangerous this is?
Just look at how scared we all are.
You just can't quit on us like this.
We don't even know what's happened with Wow.
I can quit.
Back there, where they surrounded me,
all I could think about was seeing my daughter's face again.
I don't want to do this anymore.
You can call me selfish.
We've already put so much money and time into this.
I put money in. You only put in the legwork.
That's right.
That's right!
All this time, you've just put in the money,
but you've never actually got anything done, huh?
Is that because me and Wow lost more money than you?
- We don't have any money left to do this! - I lost five million!
Five million.
Not 500,000.
I was ashamed.
I lied to everyone.
I lied to my family that it was only half a million.
I didn't lose less than any of you, okay?
I walk when I want.
WOW, ARE YOU OKAY?
WOW, ARE YOU STILL IN THERE?
PLEASE TEXT US BACK WHEN YOU SEE THIS.
WE'RE WORRIED
I HACKED THE COMPUTERS BUT DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING
WHERE IS EVERYONE?
WAWWOW, ARE YOU OKAY?
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I WAS WORRIED.
I QUIT. I'M SORRY, WOW.
Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit!
You can't fucking quit! Fuck!
Five million?
Belle's account as well?
How could you believe them?
We are very sorry.
The bank is required to cancel the reservation.
And you will forfeit all of your deposits.
This is because your deposit payment
hasn't been made within the allowed period of time.
Hello to everyone.
It looks like a lot of you are curious about what has happened to my face.
It's nothing, really.
It's an allergic reaction.
I…
Yeah.
It really got me.
So, today, I'm gonna sell you some face cream.
This is my cream.
You can slather it on, nice and thick.
It's even okay for sensitive skin.
You won't get a reaction.
You can just slather it on.
Slather it on. Slather it on, nice and thick. That's right.
Go on. Smear it around.
Slather it.
The boss said you should be more careful.
How could you let them get you on film?
If you mess up again,
he'll get rid of you.
Okay.
AMY MY LADY HOTEL
WHEN WILL YOU TRANSFER THE MONEY? I NEED TO PAY THE BOYS.
I WENT THROUGH THE DATA ON AMY'S PHONE THAT FAI COPIED.
IT'S FULL OF PHOTOS AND FINANCIAL RECORDS.
IT'S GOT INFO ON THE DUMMY ACCOUNTS AND PHOTOS OF AOOD'S FAMILY.
- OJ. - Yes?
I need your help.
WENT TO DO A DELIVERY
Aood, where's my money?
Did you hear me, Aood?
You promised you'd give me the money.
Why the fuck are you asking for it now?
I'm short, too.
And what the fuck are you doing with all this stuff?
They wanted payment up front. You said you're earning a lot.
Give me the money.
Shh! I'll transfer it.
- Go! Get out of here. - Asshole.
THANK YOU FOR RETURNING MY MONEY. WHEN WILL I GET BACK THE REST?
OLD HAG, YOU…
I TOOK ALL YOUR MONEY.
LOMA YUI'S DAUGHTER
Shit.
ALREADY READ
YOU MANAGED TO GET OUT?
Fucking bitch!
Grandma?
Ma?
What happened, Grandma? Grandma! Grandma!
Ma, what's wrong?!
OLD HAG, YOU LISTENED TO YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER.
YOU WILL NEVER GET THAT MONEY BACK.
Fuck you, Aood!
You fucking bastard!
Grandma, stay with me.
Wake up!
Don't leave me. Stay with me, please.
Please. Can you wait outside, ma'am?
- Grandma! - Ready to lift.
Wow?
Wow. How is Grandma?
Look.
If Aood knows, then Yui's in trouble.
Who cares about Yui?
My grandma's dying.
What's wrong with you?
- Hey. Wow. Where are you going? - Let me go!
- I'm gonna kill Aood. - Calm down!
ORN: MEET AT THE OFFICE AT NOON
Can we make it?
Can we get revenge on them without becoming like them, Orn?
To deal with these people, we have to be as cold blooded as they are.
Fine.
I don't care what we have to do.
I'll kill him myself if I have to.
Everything is already in motion.
If we can stick to the plan,
nobody has to risk their life.
Hey, look.
I need to talk to you.
Can't. Not now. I'm with a client.
Aood! Aood.
Aood, what are you doing?
- Bitch! - Aood! Let go!
- Aood. - Everyone, stay out of it.
Aood, what's happening?
Aood, I'm begging you.
Explain.
Tell me!
I used to know Grandma.
I just felt sorry for her.
So I…
I paid her back with my own money.
It was my money, okay?
You're feeling guilty, huh? Hmm?
Our job is to scare people!
You brought me into this!
Is this your daughter?
Tell me now, Yui! Is this your daughter?
Huh?!
I want you to answer truthfully!
Tell me!
It was just a text to my daughter.
Do you think I'm an idiot, Yui?!
I'm that stupid?!
You're Wei's mole, aren't you?
I'm not.
You're a bitch! You fucking lying piece of shit!
- Hey, Fai. Hey! - Fai?
- Where are you going? - If you leave, you'll ruin everything.
We have to focus on Aood, not Yui.
Neither of them is a good person. We're dealing with real scumbags!
I don't want to be a shit person.
Even if everyone else is like that.
Listen, Fai.
The only way we can stop Aood is to stick to the plan.
- What? - Aood, this is serious.
The school just called. Ole is missing.
Someone said that a man took him.
What do you mean someone took him?
I told you Ole is missing!
Someone took him. I don't know where he's gone.
Shit!
Amy, is Wei with you?
- No. - Where is he then?
How should I know? Don't call me again, or we're all screwed.
Mhee, keep an eye on her.
- Hey, hey, hey. Fai! - Fai!
- Fai!
- Oh. Damn it. - Shit!
Orn, go after him. I'll go help Fai.
Wow. Wow, Wow! Wow? Wow?
- Fuck! - Fuck.
Shit.
OJ, plan B.
Yeah. Copy that.
Uncle Neng, follow him.
Who the fuck is messing with me?
Mhee, follow me.
Yui!
Yui. Yui! Wake up.
Can you hear me? Miss Yui!
Miss Yui! Yui.
I was the one on the phone talking to you. Grandma's in the ICU.
Unplug everything. Now!
Oh, shit.
Who the fuck is doing this? They've got pictures of me. Fuck!
Who the fuck is messing with me?
Yui.
Let's go.
You're the doc.
Why did you beat her? She's not your mole.
You believe her?
The bitch is a liar.
Yui? Yui?
Yui!
Hey, Fai!
Shit. We're fucked.
Yeah?
Aood?
Wei and his crew are here. We're fucked.
What should we do?
Hey, Mac. Destroy everything now.
Destroy every fucking piece of equipment. Don't leave any evidence.
Hey, smash everything!
Hurry up!
Why are you calling me again? Wei's gonna catch on.
- He's already on to us. - Shit.
Yeah. All over us.
Where are you at?
Out exchanging dollars.
Hurry up and transfer the money from all the accounts to me.
- Okay. Got it. - We'll get out now.
Meet me at the airport.
I gotta go home first.
Tell me who's managing the accounts.
Amy.
From now on, you're taking over from her.
Yui.
Tell me who you are. How did you get involved in this?
Don't you realize?
Amy isn't just managing the accounts,
she's also stealing your customer data and giving it to Aood.
I handled the mules and the money.
I even stole the databases for you.
And you still complain after all I've done.
Can you get me more mules? I want to expand the business.
How do you know all of this?
Hey!
Stay down, you son of a bitch! Yeah?
- Fai, get outside quickly. - Stay still.
Hey, you! You! Goddamn it!
Fai, let's go.
Wait, what is it now?
Go and help Orn, Wow.
Shit!
Amy's just transferred the money to Aood's account.
Let's go, Uncle.
Grandma?
Grandma! Grandma!
Grandma!
The patient's heart has stopped.
Please wait outside.
Start CPR. I'm calling the doctor now.
Her heart rate's not rising.
Oxygen saturation is critically low.
Hey, sit still.
Sit still. Don't move.
This is the office of the criminal Aood.
He's currently on the run.
This is him. His face was exposed last week online.
Find the car. Send me the location.
Fuck!
INCOMING CALL
- Hello? - Hello.
This is Teacher Mel from Denham Kindergarten.
I'm sorry, Aood. Your son has gone missing.
How? Where is my son? Where has he gone?
Please, calm down.
His classmates say they saw a man who looked Chinese
- take him during the morning recess. - Shit! Wei.
What kind of school are you running? How can someone just come and take him?
I was told he was collecting him for you. What should we do?
- Should we call the police? - Do not call anyone. I'll handle this.
Fuck!
Scammers continue to use all kinds of tricks to deceive us.
The methods keep changing.
But their core strategy is always the same,
creating fear.
Hey, I've combed through all the data.
We have the mule account info,
the transfer slips sent to Aood, and Aood's personal data on the computer.
Even photos of his wife and son, plus his wife's live sales account.
We're only missing one thing, Aood's private account info.
He probably keeps that on his mobile phone
If we look closely into this,
we'll see the same pattern in steps every time.
There's the first caller, whose job it is to shock the victim.
- What? - Aood, this is serious.
The school's just called, Ole is missing.
- Someone said that a man took him. - What do you mean?
I told you Ole's gone missing.
Someone took him. I don't know where he is.
The second caller convinces the victim that the situation is real.
What should we do? Should we call the police?
Do not call anyone. I'll handle this.
The third caller uses threats to intimidate
and to exploit our weaknesses for control.
Making us follow every step before they go in for the kill.
SENT A VIDEO
Where are you?
- Ole. Ole. - Where are you?
Fuck!

What the fuck?
I said open the door. Are you gonna open or not?
- Three. - Get out!

I said to open the door!
- Are you transferring or not? - Open the door!
Hey!
Hey, Aood.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm here. I'm back.
- Time's almost up. - Fuck!
Yeah, yeah, I hear you. Give me a minute. I'm transferring now.
Now. Do you want to see your son's face again?
He's too far away. We're gonna lose the signal.
Go faster!
Neng, faster! Go faster!
Goddammit!
Who the fuck are you?
Shit.
Hey!
Run the lights, Uncle. Go!
Hello, Mook? Where's Ole?
What's up with you?
- Tell me, is our son with you? - Yes, of course he is.
I've already picked him up. What do you want?
Dad, what time are you coming home?
Ole!
Ole! Stay with Mom, okay?
Where are you going, Aood?
Think you can scam me?
Fucking Chinese bastard.
Do you think I'm dumb?
I've already drained all your money.
You still haven't noticed?

Motherfucker.
You think you could pull the same trick that I pull on others every day?
Think again, you fucker.

Hey, Orn,
Wow.
I'm at the hospital right now.
Grandma's dead.
Get up next to him.
Get in front of him, Uncle.
What the fuck are you doing?
Hey, Orn, Orn, Orn!
Have you lost your mind?
Fuck you! Are you crazy?
Come on!

Do you work for that bastard Wei?
Ah.
All right.
You're the one who came to my office, aren't you?
So, you're all in this together!
You think you've won?
You have lost, Aood.
You don't win.
I don't lose!
Someone like me would never lose to you!
Are you aware who backs me?
I fooled countless dumb bitches just like you!
I will never lose to you, you bitch!
Fuck it.
I'm sorry, Belle,
for leaving you to play by yourself.
And…
was it fun playing with your new friend?
Did you have fun?
Where are you?
I'm a bad person.
Does it hurt, Mom?
Hello?
Hello, Mom?
Can you hear me, Mom?
Where are you, Mommy?
Hey.
You still can't reach Wow?
Orn.
Orn, where did you get the money?
The reason I gave them money…
was you.
Orn, what… What do you mean?
Your company's not paying tax.
When they said they were going to check your accounts, too,
I quickly transferred the money…
because I didn't want anyone checking your accounts.
I have done everything for our family.
You're not the only one doing this.
So, from now on,
you need to learn to do the school run.
And read her bedtime stories now and then.
You follow?
I do.
She's waiting for you.
Why did you transfer the money back?
You don't want the condo anymore?
Our money's not in Aood's account.
It's with the people across the border.
But Aood was the one who took the money.
You want to get it back from them.
We're the lucky ones, huh?
We're lucky that you had some money left.
Luckily, they came to Bangkok.
Lucky, they fought amongst themselves.
We only beat them because they're nobodies.
But the ones behind all of this,
they're still sleeping and eating well.
It's just our lives that get turned around.
At least we managed to get our lives back.
Got our lives back?
That's something a rich person would say.
And our early years program
and facilities are all on the ground floor.
So they're enabling direct access
for all the students to get out there and play.
We have beautiful gardens, like these primary school facilities…
