The Red Line (2026) Movie Script
[cellphone ringing]
[knife slicing vegetable]
[woman over phone] 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.
[Yupawan] We have found an illegal parcel
sent under your name, Mrs. Ornaree.
- It contains 18 bank account passbooks.
- [Orn winces]
- And a mobile phone with many SIM cards.
- This must be a mistake.
I haven't sent anything illegal anywhere.
[Yupawan] I'll transfer you
to the Phuket Provincial Police Station.
[officer] 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.
- [man] 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?
[Orn] I'm not involved
in any criminal activity.
[Wuttichai] 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?
- [Wuttichai] 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!!!
[hesitates] Not at all. No.
- No, I don't.
- [Wuttichai] Do you have other accounts?
[Orn] A joint account with my husband.
But that's our savings
for our daughter's education.
You don't need to check that, right?
[Wuttichai] 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!
[tense music swells, stops]
[Orn breathing heavily]
I've done it.
I'm glad we could be of service, ma'am.
[cellphone consecutively chiming]
[shuddering]
[chiming stops]
[breathing heavily]
[automated voice] The number
you have dialed is no longer in service.
[line disconnects]
[phone thuds]
[officer] 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.
[man] Officer, is there any way
of tracking these scammers?
[officer] 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?
[officer] For right now,
it will go in the daily police report.
[keyboard clacking]
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.
[Orn] Hmm
[mysterious music playing]
[man on TV] 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.
- [cellphone ringing]
- [gasps]
[breathing heavily]
[Wuttichai over phone]
I'm glad we could be of service, ma'am.
[gasps, exclaims]
[panting]
- [exhales]
- [Benz] Mmm
What is it, Orn?
[Orn breathes heavily]
[inhales deeply]
Someone was here.
[Benz sighs]
It's been over a month now.
Time to move on.
Or you won't be able to live your life.
- [Orn breathing heavily]
- [Benz sighs deeply]
Who's next?
Please go ahead.
[somber music playing]
[breathing heavily]
[woman] 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.
[breathes heavily]
[mysterious music plays]
INPATIENT PHARMACY
[indistinct chatter]
[Fai] Nine hundred and seventy thousand
My life savings.
[inhales] 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?
[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.
[Orn clears throat]
[Benz] Belle, can you play
that piano piece yet?
[Belle] Yes, Dad, I can.
[Benz] I would love
to hear you play it soon.
[Belle] Yes.
[teacher] 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.
- [cellphone vibrates]
Turn left, turn right, face forward,
take one step,
bow.
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS NEWS?
[teacher] 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!
[Orn] Is it this one?
[Fai] I think a bit further.
GRANDMA'S SOY MILK
Grandma. Hello.
- [Grandma] Hello, there.
- [Fai] Is that a game you're playing?
[Grandma] Oh, yeah, I'm playing a game.
- Who are you?
- [Fai] Um, I'm a friend of hers.
- [Grandma] I see.
- [Fai] Do your knees hurt?
- [Grandma] A little.
- [woman] How much did each of you lose?
[clears throat]
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!
- [Grandma] Wawwow!
- What?
- [Grandma] Who are you swearing about?
Who's a prick?
- I'll smack that mouth.
- [Wawwow] 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.
[sighs] 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?
- [sighs deeply] 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?
[Wawwow] The police, huh?
[laughs sarcastically] 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?
[Fai] 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.
[Wawwow groans] 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.
[cellphone chimes]
[ominous music playing]
THE MONEY IS STILL BEING INVESTIGATED.
[Wawwow] Damn, they actually replied.
[music intensifies]
[man] This time, I'll make it impeccable.
- Transfer it to the same account.
- [boy 1] Yeah.
- [boy 2] Hey.
- [boy 3] Go left, man. Go left.
- You hit the pole. Damn it.
- [boy 2] The fuck?
[boy 3] Go to the right.
More to the right. Further to the right!
Yeah, that's it.
[keyboard clacking]
- [Wawwow] Hey, OJ.
- Shit. Wow.
- [Wawwow] What are you doing?
- I, uh
- Do you need me to fix something?
- [Wawwow] No.
Just need your help with something.
[keyboard clacking]
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?
[mysterious music playing]
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.
[music intensifies]
LOMA - YUI'S DAUGHTER
MY CONTRACT IS ALMOST UP.
I WAS INVITED TO WORK IN BANGKOK.
DELETE CONVERSATION?
[sighs]
- [man] What the hell?!
- [woman 1 sobbing]
[man] 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?
[woman 2] Hey!
Have some patience with her.
She just got here.
She doesn't know. I'll train her.
- [woman 2 tuts, exclaims]
- [woman 1 shuddering]
Just do it, okay?
If you don't, you won't eat.
- And you'll get hurt for nothing.
- [woman 1 sniffles]
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.
[ominous music playing]
[exhales]
[sighs]
[line ringing]
- [woman over phone] Hello?
- [Yui] Good morning.
Am I speaking with Mrs. Amporn Sae-eab?
[Amporn hesitates] 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.
[Amporn hesitates] 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.
[Amporn] Oh, okay. Okay. All right.
[scammer] 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.
- [Jetsada] 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.
Transfer the money now.
[tense music plays]
[cellphones consecutively chiming]
- [chiming stops]
- [music fades]
[suspenseful music plays]
[bell dings]
[people cheering]
[music intensifies]
[Jetsada] Awesome! How about that?
- [Jetsada] Whoo!
- One million!
Aood.
[speaks Mandarin]
"You really want to quit?"
My contract is up at the end of the month.
Time to go home.
[sighs]
- [speaks Mandarin]
- [interpreter] "What a shame."
- [speaks Mandarin]
- [interpreter] "You're talented."
[speaks Mandarin]
- [interpreter] "You close every case."
- [speaks Mandarin]
[interpreter] "You've helped the company."
[boss speaks Mandarin]
[interpreter] "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.
[speaks Mandarin]
[interpreter] "Good luck. If you get rich,
don't forget your old boss, okay?"
[chuckles] Never.
Hmm [speaks Mandarin]
[ominous music playing]
[gate lock clanks]
NO PHOTOGRAPHY
[leaves rustle]
[huffs]
[panting, grunting]
[music intensifies]
- [car engine revving]
- [siren blaring]
- Hey.
- Shit.
- Check everywhere.
- [officers in unison] Yes, sir.
Check the outside, too.
[grunts]
[footsteps approaching]
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!
[ominous music playing]
[music swells, fades]
[car horns honking]
[woman] 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.
[excitedly] Ole!
- [Ole] Daddy!
- Daddy's home!
Oh, wow, have you missed me?
- I did.
- [Aood] Oh.
- Hey, you.
- Eaten yet?
[Aood] Not yet. Order what you want.
- I'm flush.
- Okay.
[Aood] Here. I've got a new toy for you.
A police car.
- Hey, it's a big one.
- [Ole giggling]
Let me see how heavy you are now.
[grunting] Oh, you're big.
I can hardly lift you now.
[groans]
- Do you like it?
- Yeah, Dad.
Well, if you like it, give me a kiss.
Oh, so good!
[Wawwow over video] My grandmother
was scammed by a piece of shit
- who stole all her money!
- Yui. Yui, look at this.
[Wawwow] Here,
- called Police Colonel Wuttichai.
- This girl is furious.
- [Wawwow] A million
- Sounds like she's lost millions.
I'd love a million.
- Make it two. [Chuckles]
- Sure thing.
[Wawwow] We worked so hard
just to make a little money.
You fucking scammer!
You fucking pay, asshole!
Go fuck yourself!
[sighs deeply]
WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER?
WHEN WILL YOU RETURN MY MONEY?
[somber music playing]
HOW ARE YOU, GRANDMA?
WE ARE STILL INVESTIGATING.
[woman] 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.
- [muffled crying]
What have you done?
Don't cover your baby's mouth and nose.
She'll suffocate.
[baby crying loudly]
Here, this is for you.
Eat it, and feed your baby as well.
[baby continues crying]
[somber music continues playing]
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?
[music fades]
- [Yui] Can you get out?
- [woman] Yeah, I can.
Come.
Hurry up.
[mysterious music playing]
KING KARAOKE
[claps]
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.
[Aood] The veteran
who got me started in this business.
- She'll train you.
- If a customer asks
[Aood] 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.
[Yui] 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.
[cellphone vibrates]
[chuckles nervously]
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.
[pats gently]
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.
[loudly] Let's get going!
[all cheering]
- [Aood] Let's get ready to be rich.
- [Mhee] Rich!
[Aood] 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?
[sighs in disbelief]
Knew it!
- All too hard. Just hassle the innocent!
- [officer] 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.
[Wawwow] See? I told you.
- They won't help.
- [Orn] That's enough.
Don't say anything else.
[Orn sighs]
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.
- [Orn] 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.
[Orn sighs]
[Wawwow breathes heavily]
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.
[applauding]
["Ode to Joy" playing on piano]
[music stops]
[audience member] Huh?
[indistinct chattering]
[footsteps approaching]
[Benz] 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.
[keyboard clacking]
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?
[indistinct chattering]
[cell phone vibrates]
[Aood sighs]
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?
[Orn] We'll use Dr. Fai's hospital
as the meeting place.
Place the bag with the tracker
next to Grandma.
[Wawwow] Grandma.
- Wait here for a moment, please.
- [Grandma] Okay.
[Wawwow] And watch this bag for me.
My friend will collect it.
[OJ] Okay, take your pick.
- Let's get three of that.
- Okay.
[Orn] A small listening device
will be hidden underneath.
Two necklaces there.
The listening device
will lead us right to their address.
[Fai] Hey, is this the one?
[indistinct announcement over PA system]
- [nurse 1] Excuse me. Excuse me.
- [nurse 2] Excuse me.
[both nurses] Please make way.
- [nurse 1] Please make way.
- [nurse 2] Out of the way.
- [nurse 1] Please make way.
- Keep your eyes on that bag.
[nurse 2] Make way.
[Orn] Move, move! Come on.
Grandma! Huh?
[Orn sighs]
The gold is still in here.
The listening device, too.
[indistinct chattering]
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?
- [Mhee] What? I'm not sick.
[Wawwow] 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.
[both grunt]
- Your muscles are really tense.
- [Mhee groans]
- I can pick it all up myself.
- [Fai] Your muscles are really tense.
[Wawwow] I'm sorry, I was in a rush.
- [Yui] Don't worry.
- [Wawwow] I see another coin over there.
You have so many.
[Mhee exclaims in pain]
[Wawwow] I think that's all of them.
I'm so sorry.
[Mhee screaming in pain]
[Fai] Oh! You're not Mr. Weera.
I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry about that.
- I said I'm not.
Stupid.
[Mhee] What the fuck just happened?
Fucking hell!
[both panting]
[Orn] Quickly, get in.
I don't understand.
She didn't take the gold,
but also left cash.
[OJ] I've got a signal.
It's right ahead of you.
[cell phone chimes]
Hey, Orn, look at this.
It just came from Wow.
I'll PAY YOU BACK BIT BY BIT.
[elevator bell dings]
[both gasp]
Stairs. Come on.
[indistinct chattering]
[Orn] Come on.
FOR REN[Mhee] I don't know.
Maybe Yui is the best to explain.
[Aood] 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!
- [Yui] 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?
[Yui] I've seen this in the news.
What if the person texting
wasn't the grandma?
Come on, Orn. Let's go.
[Aood] What are you saying?
That the police are trying
to set a trap for us?
[Yui breathing heavily]
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.
[footsteps approaching]
Hey!
- [Fai sighs]
- How did it go?
[breathing heavily]
Orn.
[whispers] Hey, Orn.
[phone line ringing]
Hello, I'm interested in renting a room.
Yes. I'll sign the contract now.
[Fai] 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?

ROOM FOR RENPLEASE CALL 098-536-3935
[OJ grunts]
You want them to gain your confidence.
[Orn] 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.
- [Orn] is there's Aood and Yui.
Those two are the leaders
of the organization.
Got it.
[Aood over device] 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.
[Fai] Aood leaves every night.
I figure he's going home.
He must have family here in Bangkok.

[all whooping]
[woman 1] Woo-hoo!
[man] Wow, man, that was fucking intense.
Awesome!
[woman 2] Hey, Aood.
Why don't we just send fake SMS links?
It'd be quicker.
- Because you're lazy, huh?
- [woman 2] No.
No. [Sputters] 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.
[breathes deeply]
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.
[over device] 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!
- [OJ] Shit.
- Wow.
- I'm gonna get this prick.
- Wow! Where are you going?
- Let me go!
- [OJ] What's wrong with you?
I'll crush them!
- Please, Wow.
- Just calm down.
- Calm down!
- [OJ] Calm down.
- Just take a breath.
- Sit down.
[Aood over device]
If you can experience it just once,
you know how good it feels.
That's why you have to get better,
to experience it for yourself.
- You must learn how to go for the kill.

[Orn] 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.
[Wawwow] 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!
[clicks tongue]
Well, the information
must be in their computers, right?
If we can access their system,
I should be able to find it.
[Fai] So, how do we do that?
[OJ] 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.
[OJ] 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.
- [sighs] Not a doctor.
Again. There it is.
You guys are always like this.
You said you wanted your life back.
[sighs]
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.
[scammer] We have discovered

Let me transfer the call through

We're dealing with a very serious matter.

I told you to practice.
I never had this in Poipet.

[Yui over device] 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,

a bigger cut than anyone else.
It better be bigger.
I handled the mules and the money.
I even stole the databases for you.
[Aood over device]
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.

Got it. A motel called My Lady.
I'll go there now and find out who she is.

Could you put Belle to bed first?
You always tell me
I'm not very good at reading her a story.

OJ, I can't really see anyone.
What does he look like?
This place is seedy.

I've never actually met him before.
What?
Didn't you say he's a friend?
[OJ over device] Yeah, sure.

You just can't quit on us like this.
We don't even know

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.
[scoffs] 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?

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.
[Wawwow] Fine.
I don't care what we have to do.
I'll kill him myself if I have to.
[Orn] Everything is already in motion.
If we can stick to the plan,

You're feeling guilty, huh? Hmm?
Our job is to scare people!
You brought me into this!
[sobbing]
Is this your daughter?
Tell me now, Yui! Is this your daughter?
Huh?!
I want you to answer truthfully!
Tell me!
[whimpering softly]
It was just a text to my daughter.
- Do you think I'm an idiot, Yui?!

I'm that stupid?!

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.
- [bat clatters]

Can you hear me? Miss Yui!
Miss Yui! Yui.
I was the one on the phone talking to you.
Grandma's in the ICU.
[Fai grunting]

Who the fuck is doing this?
They've got pictures of me. Fuck!
Who the fuck is messing with me?

Why did you beat her? She's not your mole.

[Amy] Why are you calling me again?
Wei's gonna catch on.
- He's already on to us.
- [Amy] Shit.
Yeah. All over us.
Where are you at?
[Amy] Out exchanging dollars.
Hurry up and transfer the money
from all the accounts to me.
- [Amy] Okay. Got it.
- We'll get out now.
Meet me at the airport.
I gotta go home first.
[line disconnects]
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.
[Amy on recording] I handled
the mules and the money.
I even stole the databases for you.
And you still complain
after all I've done.
[Aood] Can you get me more mules?
I want to expand the business.
How do you know all of this?

Please wait outside.
Start CPR. I'm calling the doctor now.
[nurse 2] Her heart rate's not rising.
Oxygen saturation is critically low.
[officer 1] 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.

INCOMING CALL
[call connects]
- Hello?
- [woman] 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?
[Mel] 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?
[Mel] 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!
[suspenseful music playing]
[man on TV] 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.
[OJ] 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
[narrator] 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?
- [Mook] Aood, this is serious.
The school's just called, Ole is missing.
- Someone said that a man took him.
- [Aood] What do you mean?
I told you Ole's gone missing.
Someone took him.
I don't know where he is.
[man] The second caller convinces
the victim that the situation is real.
What should we do?
Should we call the police?
[Aood] Do not call anyone.
I'll handle this.
[exhales]
[man] 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
[Ole on video] Where are you?
- [Aood] Ole. Ole.

[sighs in relief, laughs]
[Ole] Dad, what time are you coming home?
[laughs]
Ole!
Ole! Stay with Mom, okay?
[Mook] Where are you going, Aood?
[grunts]

Hey.
You still can't reach Wow?
[door closes]
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.
[Orn] Why did you transfer the money back?
You don't want the condo anymore?
[Fai] 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.
[scoffs]
Got our lives back?
That's something a rich person would say.
[emotional music playing]
[man] And our early years program
and facilities
are all on the ground floor.

[knife slicing vegetable]
[woman over phone] 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.
[Yupawan] We have found an illegal parcel
sent under your name, Mrs. Ornaree.
- It contains 18 bank account passbooks.
- [Orn winces]
- And a mobile phone with many SIM cards.
- This must be a mistake.
I haven't sent anything illegal anywhere.
[Yupawan] I'll transfer you
to the Phuket Provincial Police Station.
[officer] 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.
- [man] 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?
[Orn] I'm not involved
in any criminal activity.
[Wuttichai] 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?
- [Wuttichai] 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!!!
[hesitates] Not at all. No.
- No, I don't.
- [Wuttichai] Do you have other accounts?
[Orn] A joint account with my husband.
But that's our savings
for our daughter's education.
You don't need to check that, right?
[Wuttichai] 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!
[tense music swells, stops]
[Orn breathing heavily]
I've done it.
I'm glad we could be of service, ma'am.
[cellphone consecutively chiming]
[shuddering]
[chiming stops]
[breathing heavily]
[automated voice] The number
you have dialed is no longer in service.
[line disconnects]
[phone thuds]
[officer] 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.
[man] Officer, is there any way
of tracking these scammers?
[officer] 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?
[officer] For right now,
it will go in the daily police report.
[keyboard clacking]
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.
[Orn] Hmm
[mysterious music playing]
[man on TV] 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

[Orn breathes heavily]

Someone was here.
[Benz sighs]
It's been over a month now.
Time to move on.
Or you won't be able to live your life.
- [Orn breathing heavily]
- [Benz sighs deeply]
Who's next?
Please go ahead.
[somber music playing]
[breathing heavily]
[woman] 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.
[breathes heavily]
[mysterious music plays]
INPATIENT PHARMACY
[indistinct chatter]
[Fai] Nine hundred and seventy thousand
My life savings.
[inhales] 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?
[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.
[Orn clears throat]
[Benz] Belle, can you play
that piano piece yet?
[Belle] Yes, Dad, I can.
[Benz] I would love
to hear you play it soon.
[Belle] Yes.
[teacher] Turn left,
turn right, face forward, take one step,
bow.
One more time, please.
Turn left,
turn right,
face forward, take one step,

Turn left, turn right, face forward,

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS NEWS?
[teacher] 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!
[Orn] Is it this one?
[Fai] I think a bit further.
GRANDMA'S SOY MILK
Grandma. Hello.
- [Grandma] Hello, there.
- [Fai] Is that a game you're playing?
[Grandma] Oh, yeah, I'm playing a game.
- Who are you?
- [Fai] Um, I'm a friend of hers.
- [Grandma] I see.
- [Fai] Do your knees hurt?
- [Grandma] A little.
- [woman] How much did each of you lose?
[clears throat]
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!
- [Grandma] Wawwow!
- What?
- [Grandma] Who are you swearing about?
Who's a prick?
- I'll smack that mouth.
- [Wawwow] 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.
[sighs] 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?
- [sighs deeply] 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?
[Wawwow] The police, huh?
[laughs sarcastically] 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?
[Fai] 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.
[Wawwow groans] 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.
[cellphone chimes]
[ominous music playing]
THE MONEY IS STILL BEING INVESTIGATED.
[Wawwow] Damn, they actually replied.
[music intensifies]
[man] This time, I'll make it impeccable.
- Transfer it to the same account.
- [boy 1] Yeah.
- [boy 2] Hey.
- [boy 3] Go left, man. Go left.
- You hit the pole. Damn it.
- [boy 2] The fuck?
[boy 3] Go to the right.
More to the right. Further to the right!
Yeah, that's it.
[keyboard clacking]
- [Wawwow] Hey, OJ.
- Shit. Wow.
- [Wawwow] What are you doing?
- I, uh
- Do you need me to fix something?
- [Wawwow] No.
Just need your help with something.
[keyboard clacking]
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?
[mysterious music playing]
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.

[Amporn hesitates] 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.
[Amporn hesitates] 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.
[Amporn] Oh, okay. Okay. All right.
[scammer] 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.
- [Jetsada] 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.
Transfer the money now.

I miss my son, boss.
But I have already trained

There should be no problems, boss.

Check the outside, too.

[footsteps approaching]
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!

[woman] 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.
[excitedly] Ole!
- [Ole] Daddy!
- Daddy's home!
Oh, wow, have you missed me?
- I did.
- [Aood] Oh.
- Hey, you.
- Eaten yet?
[Aood] Not yet. Order what you want.
- I'm flush.
- Okay.
[Aood] Here. I've got a new toy for you.
A police car.
- Hey, it's a big one.
- [Ole giggling]
Let me see how heavy you are now.
[grunting] Oh, you're big.
I can hardly lift you now.
[groans]
- Do you like it?
- Yeah, Dad.
Well, if you like it, give me a kiss.
Oh, so good!
[Wawwow over video] My grandmother
was scammed by a piece of shit
- who stole all her money!
- Yui. Yui, look at this.
[Wawwow] Here,
- called Police Colonel Wuttichai.
- This girl is furious.
- [Wawwow] A million
- Sounds like she's lost millions.
I'd love a million.
- Make it two. [Chuckles]
- Sure thing.
[Wawwow] We worked so hard
just to make a little money.
You fucking scammer!
You fucking pay, asshole!
Go fuck yourself!
[sighs deeply]
WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER?
WHEN WILL YOU RETURN MY MONEY?
[somber music playing]
HOW ARE YOU, GRANDMA?
WE ARE STILL INVESTIGATING.
[woman] 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.
- [muffled crying]
What have you done?
Don't cover your baby's mouth and nose.
She'll suffocate.
[baby crying loudly]
Here, this is for you.
Eat it, and feed your baby as well.
[baby continues crying]
[somber music continues playing]
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?
[music fades]
- [Yui] Can you get out?
- [woman] Yeah, I can.
Come.
Hurry up.

KING KARAOKE
[claps]
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.
[Aood] The veteran
who got me started in this business.
- She'll train you.
- If a customer asks
[Aood] 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.
[Yui] 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.
[cellphone vibrates]
[chuckles nervously]
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.
[pats gently]
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.
[loudly] Let's get going!
[all cheering]
- [Aood] Let's get ready to be rich.
- [Mhee] Rich!
[Aood] 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?
[sighs in disbelief]
Knew it!
- All too hard. Just hassle the innocent!
- [officer] 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.
[Wawwow] See? I told you.
- They won't help.
- [Orn] That's enough.
Don't say anything else.
[Orn sighs]
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.
- [Orn] 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.
[Orn sighs]
[Wawwow breathes heavily]
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.
[applauding]
["Ode to Joy" playing on piano]
[music stops]
[audience member] Huh?
[indistinct chattering]
[footsteps approaching]
[Benz] 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.
[keyboard clacking]
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?
[indistinct chattering]
[cell phone vibrates]
[Aood sighs]
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?
[Orn] We'll use Dr. Fai's hospital
as the meeting place.
Place the bag with the tracker
next to Grandma.
[Wawwow] Grandma.
- Wait here for a moment, please.
- [Grandma] Okay.
[Wawwow] And watch this bag for me.
My friend will collect it.
[OJ] Okay, take your pick.
- Let's get three of that.
- Okay.
[Orn] A small listening device
will be hidden underneath.
Two necklaces there.
The listening device
will lead us right to their address.
[Fai] Hey, is this the one?
[indistinct announcement over PA system]
- [nurse 1] Excuse me. Excuse me.
- [nurse 2] Excuse me.
[both nurses] Please make way.
- [nurse 1] Please make way.
- [nurse 2] Out of the way.
- [nurse 1] Please make way.
- Keep your eyes on that bag.
[nurse 2] Make way.
[Orn] Move, move! Come on.
Grandma! Huh?
[Orn sighs]
The gold is still in here.
The listening device, too.
[indistinct chattering]
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?
- [Mhee] What? I'm not sick.
[Wawwow] 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.
[both grunt]
- Your muscles are really tense.
- [Mhee groans]
- I can pick it all up myself.
- [Fai] Your muscles are really tense.
[Wawwow] I'm sorry, I was in a rush.
- [Yui] Don't worry.
- [Wawwow] I see another coin over there.
You have so many.
[Mhee exclaims in pain]
[Wawwow] I think that's all of them.
I'm so sorry.
[Mhee screaming in pain]
[Fai] Oh! You're not Mr. Weera.
I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry about that.
- I said I'm not.
Stupid.
[Mhee] What the fuck just happened?
Fucking hell!
[both panting]
[Orn] Quickly, get in.
I don't understand.
She didn't take the gold,
but also left cash.
[OJ] I've got a signal.
It's right ahead of you.
[cell phone chimes]
Hey, Orn, look at this.
It just came from Wow.
I'll PAY YOU BACK BIT BY BIT.
[elevator bell dings]
[both gasp]
Stairs. Come on.
[indistinct chattering]
[Orn] Come on.
FOR REN[Mhee] I don't know.
Maybe Yui is the best to explain.
[Aood] 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!
- [Yui] 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?
[Yui] I've seen this in the news.
What if the person texting
wasn't the grandma?
Come on, Orn. Let's go.
[Aood] What are you saying?
That the police are trying
to set a trap for us?
[Yui breathing heavily]
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.
[footsteps approaching]
Hey!
- [Fai sighs]
- How did it go?
[breathing heavily]
Orn.
[whispers] Hey, Orn.
[phone line ringing]
Hello, I'm interested in renting a room.
Yes. I'll sign the contract now.
[Fai] 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.

[OJ grunts]
You want them to gain your confidence.
[Orn] 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.
- [Orn] is there's Aood and Yui.
Those two are the leaders
of the organization.
Got it.
[Aood over device] 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.
[Fai] Aood leaves every night.
I figure he's going home.
He must have family here in Bangkok.

No. [Sputters] I just mean
It's just you could send out
hundreds of texts at a time,

So you wouldn't have to work

[breathes deeply]
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.
[over device] 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.

[Orn] We still don't know anything
about the money trail and how it works.
Where the victims transfer their money,

and how do they get it to cash.
[Wawwow] 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!
[clicks tongue]
Well, the information
must be in their computers, right?
If we can access their system,
I should be able to find it.
[Fai] So, how do we do that?
[OJ] 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.
[OJ] Deep fake of who?
We don't know anyone they know.
Ugh! It's all too hard.
We could always just sneak

Mm. Yeah, sure.

[OJ] No, you haven't paid.
[Mac] What the hell?
Hey! Uh
Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Expensive. For two Pad Thai?
With extras! [Laughs]
[Mac] Okay. I'll get the money.
[OJ] Wait, wait, uh, wait.
You said you're already paid, right?
Let me check for you.
[panting]
[Little Rabbit grunts]
[woman gasps]
Hey, pervert, what's your problem?
You keep bumping into my ass.
- What the fuck is wrong with you?
- [Little Rabbit] Uh
Well, I
[woman] Well, what?
Don't play dumb, asshole.
[automated voice over PA]
The train is arriving at Silom Station.
- we're squished in.
- That's bullshit.
[automated voice] The doors will open.
[Little Rabbit] I'm sorry, all right?
[automated voice] Please mind the gap
between the train and platform.
- [Little Rabbit] 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.
- [woman] Uh, okay.
- [OJ] You did pay. That's right.
- [Mac] I did.
[OJ] 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
[delivery guy] Here's your Pad Thai.
[OJ breath shudders]
This is not Pad Thai.
- Oh, shit! Shit!
- Who are you? Tell me.
[OJ] Wait, what? This isn't room 405?
Sorry. Sorry. Wrong room.
- Hey.

[sighs] Shit, this is bad.
Wow is still in the office.
[panting]
[lock beeps]
[Wei] Amy.
[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.

Let's peek inside.
It also just come as a set.
Enough room to put

It really is a go-anywhere bag. I love it.
[Mac sighs]
[man on computer] I cannot believe you.
You're incorrigible.
[inhales sharply]
[doorbell rings]
[clicks tongue] 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.
[grunting]
Uh
So, uh, who's going to be
responsible then?
[Aood] 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.
[Orn whimpers]
[breath trembling]
[Wawwow grunting]
[grunting, pants]
- [thuds]
- [yelps]
[breathing heavily]
I asked you what you're doing here!
Sis! Forget it.
I'll just order another krapow for you.
[grunting]
[thuds]
[Fai] Hey! Come on now!
[gasps]
[gasps, shrieks]
[OJ] Hey. Where's Wow?
Is she still in there?
I don't know. I didn't see.
Come on, Orn. Sit down first.
[Fai panting]
What's going on?
Bring everyone here right now.
[footsteps receding]
[line ringing]
Come on, pick up.
Pick up.
[sobbing softly]
[Aood over video] How the hell
does he know we've opened an office here?
[grunts] What are you doing?
Are you the mole for that bastard? Huh?
[man] No! It's not me. I promise you.
[Aood] 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.
[man] But, please, it's really not me.
Believe me!
So you're saying it's not you?
Then who is it?
[man crying]
I wanted us to be like a family.
[man whimpers]
But you forced me to be like this.
Are you a fucking mole, huh?!
Tell me the truth!
[man whimpering softly]
- [gun clicks]
- [Aood] Aah!
[sobbing]
- [man crying]
- [Yui] 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.
- [chair scrapes]
- [Orn sobbing]
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.
[scoffs] 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.
[gasps loudly, breathes heavily]
[groans]
[groaning]
[breath shuddering]
[door creaks]
[soft grunts]
[groans softly in pain]
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.
[breathing heavily]
Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh, shit! [Sobs]
You can't fucking quit! Fuck!
- [yells in anger]
- [phone clatters]
[screams]
[breathing heavily]
Five million?
Belle's account as well?
[sighs]
How could you believe them?
[door closes]
[somber music playing]
[woman over phone] 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.
[Wawwow] 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.
[crying]
[screams]
[grunts in anger]
[singing somber song]
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

WHEN WILL YOU TRANSFER THE MONEY?
I NEED TO PAY THE BOYS.
[clicks tongue]
[engine starts]
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.
- [OJ over phone] Yes?
I need your help.
WENT TO DO A DELIVERY
[Aood's wife] Aood, where's my money?
Did you hear me, Aood?
You promised you'd give me the money.
[Aood] 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.
- [cell phone vibrating]
- 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?
[breathes deeply]
[tense music playing]
OLD HAG, YOU
I TOOK ALL YOUR MONEY.
LOMA YUI'S DAUGHTER
Shit.
ALREADY READ
YOU MANAGED TO GET OUT?
Fucking bitch!
[grunts softly]
[gasps]
Grandma?
Ma?
What happened, Grandma? Grandma! Grandma!
Ma, what's wrong?!
[crying hysterically]
[breath trembling]
OLD HAG,
YOU LISTENED TO YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER.
YOU WILL NEVER GET THAT MONEY BACK.
[screams]
Fuck you, Aood!
You fucking bastard!
Grandma, stay with me. [Crying]
Wake up!
Don't leave me. Stay with me, please.
Please. Can you wait outside, ma'am?
- Grandma!
- [doctor] Ready to lift.
[crying]
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!
[cell phone vibrating]
ORN: MEET AT THE OFFICE AT NOON
[kids chattering and laughing]
[engine starts]
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.
[Wawwow] Fine.
I don't care what we have to do.
I'll kill him myself if I have to.
[Orn] Everything is already in motion.
If we can stick to the plan,
nobody has to risk their life.
[tires screeching]
- Hey, look.
- [car door closes]
[suspenseful music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
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.
- [Mhee] Everyone, stay out of it.
Aood, what's happening?
[groans]
Aood, I'm begging you.
[whimpers]
[object clatters]
[Yui yelps]
Explain.
Tell me!
[crying]
I used to know Grandma.
I just felt sorry for her.
So I [sobs]
I paid her back with my own money.
- It was my money, okay? [Whimpers]
- [bat clatters]
You're feeling guilty, huh? Hmm?
Our job is to scare people!
You brought me into this!
[sobbing]
Is this your daughter?
Tell me now, Yui! Is this your daughter?
Huh?!
I want you to answer truthfully!
Tell me!
[whimpering softly]
It was just a text to my daughter.
- Do you think I'm an idiot, Yui?!
- [crying]
I'm that stupid?!
- [phone clatters]
- [Yui crying]
You're Wei's mole, aren't you?
I'm not.
You're a bitch!
You fucking lying piece of shit!
[Aood grunting]
[Yui crying]
[Yui whimpering over device]
- [Yui groans]
- [tsks]
- [OJ] 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.
- [bat clatters]
- [cell phone vibrating]
[breathing heavily]
[continues vibrating]
- What?
- [Mook] 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!
[dramatic music playing]
[line ringing]
- [groans in pain]
- [Aood] Amy, is Wei with you?
- [Amy] No.
- Where is he then?
[Amy] How should I know?
Don't call me again, or we're all screwed.

Mhee, keep an eye on her.

Orn, go after him. I'll go help Fai.
Wow. Wow, Wow! Wow? Wow?

[sighs wearily]
Shit.
OJ, plan B.
Yeah. Copy that.
Uncle Neng, follow him.

Who the fuck is messing with me?
[music playing on earphones]
[keyboard clacking]
[music continues playing]
Mhee, follow me.
[Fai] 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.
[Fai grunting]
[music playing on speaker]
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?
[grunting]
[grunts] Yui.
[Fai] Let's go.
[scoffs] You're the doc.
Why did you beat her? She's not your mole.

The bitch is a liar.

Destroy every fucking piece of equipment.
Don't leave any evidence.
Hey, smash everything!
Hurry up!

[Amy] Why are you calling me again?
Wei's gonna catch on.
- He's already on to us.
- [Amy] Shit.
Yeah. All over us.
Where are you at?
[Amy] Out exchanging dollars.
Hurry up and transfer the money
from all the accounts to me.
- [Amy] Okay. Got it.
- We'll get out now.
Meet me at the airport.
I gotta go home first.
[line disconnects]
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.
[Amy on recording] I handled
the mules and the money.
I even stole the databases for you.
And you still complain
after all I've done.
[Aood] Can you get me more mules?
I want to expand the business.
How do you know all of this?

[nurse 2] Her heart rate's not rising.
Oxygen saturation is critically low.
[officer 1] 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.

INCOMING CALL
[call connects]
- Hello?
- [woman] 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?
[Mel] 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?
[Mel] 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!
[suspenseful music playing]
[man on TV] 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.
[OJ] 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
[narrator] 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?
- [Mook] Aood, this is serious.
The school's just called, Ole is missing.
- Someone said that a man took him.
- [Aood] What do you mean?
I told you Ole's gone missing.
Someone took him.
I don't know where he is.
[man] The second caller convinces
the victim that the situation is real.
What should we do?
Should we call the police?
[Aood] Do not call anyone.
I'll handle this.
[exhales]
[man] 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.

Hello, Mom?

Hey.
You still can't reach Wow?
[door closes]
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.
[Orn] Why did you transfer the money back?
You don't want the condo anymore?
[Fai] 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.
[scoffs]
Got our lives back?
That's something a rich person would say.
[emotional music playing]
[man] 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.
