Sotus the Series (2016) s01e06 Episode Script

Someone started a thread
about our hazing meeting.
It's really juicy.
SENIORS JOINED IN.
Look at this.
THE SENIORS PUNISHED THE JUNIORS.
Hey, Kong.
Hey, Kong!
What the heck is wrong with you?
-Hey!
-What?
-What's wrong?
-Nothing.
I was just wondering
if Arthit has finished those 54 laps yet.
Don't be stupid.
He can't really do that.
At most you could do seven laps, right?
That's right.
But wasn't it great today
that the seniors let us leave early?
Now we've got time to do our work.
If we didn't have a quiz tomorrow,
I would have gone out for a beer.
Hey.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Hey.
Is it a relationship problem?
Am I right?
Relationship problems?
Fine.
My bad, I'm sorry.
Who is coming to get some books?
Are you coming?
-I'll go.
-Me too.
I see.
I guess I will watch the table.
Hello there, Kong.
-Hello, Ple.
-Hi.
How is it going?
I heard the seniors turned up for drilling
at your hazing meeting?
Yes, but they weren't drilling us.
It was the juniors in the hazers team.
Is that right?
I feel like things
are less rigorous this year.
In the previous years,
they gave them 100 laps.
Why would they give
such an extreme punishment?
I suppose they have their reasons.
What about you? Are you coping all right?
The first year is an adjustment period.
You have to study hard
and take part in many activities here.
I considered quitting
and going overseas to study.
So, why didn't you quit?
I tried my best to adapt.
It got easier with time.
The next thing, I had settled in.
Looking back, I'd even say it was fun.
Yeah.
You were looking for this, weren't you?
-Yes, thanks.
-No problem.
It's been good catching up.
I should get back to work.
-See you around.
-See you.
So, Ple
Yes?
I actually wanted to study economics.
So, I'm not sure if this place is for me.
When you started here,
how did you know
this was the right place for you?
Only you can answer that.
If I told you my answer,
it would only be my perspective.
You need to find your own way.
I hope you find it.
-Good luck. I'm going.
-Thanks.
Please allow me
to run around the field 54 times.
-I'm exhausted.
-Yeah.
I'm going straight to bed.
But we have
a physics test tomorrow, remember?
-Shit!
-Shit!
That's true.
I doubt my lecture notes make much sense.
Do you have a summary I can borrow?
You don't need to write that stuff down.
It's all in here, you know?
-Here.
-Damn.
Hey, look over there.
-What?
-Over there.
Isn't that Arthit?
Hasn't he finished the laps yet?
-Seems like it.
-Wait.
Let me take a photo.
-Oh, my.
-I feel bad for him.
Yeah.
-He sure has stamina.
-It's already dark.
What's up?
Not yet. What is it?
Okay.
Arthit, you should stop.
What are you doing here?
Mind your own business.
But you've been running all day.
Why don't you take a break?
You should leave so that
I can finish these laps.
I'll run with you, then.
Kongpob.
What are you doing here?
I told you to leave.
I'm not leaving.
If you don't stop, neither will I.
Kongpob!
Arthit, what's the matter?
Will you get this kid out of here?
-I need to carry on running.
-Freshman,
what are you doing?
He's been running all day.
Why does he have to keep going?
This is the punishment
for the head of the hazers.
It's none of your business.
-But I--
-Stop talking.
I'm ordering you to go wait over there.
Kong,
go wait with your friends.
I'll bring you water.
Hi, Kong.
This way. Come sit with us.
We just finished working on the report
at the library.
We spotted Arthit still running.
We are staying to watch.
Just now, I posted a picture
in the faculty's forum.
Loads of people have shared it already.
What are you doing here anyway?
M told me what was going on,
so I rushed over.
I saw it on the forum too.
He did 100 push-ups,
100 squat jumps,
and 100 squats.
Impressive.
He's just my type.
Hold on.
Everyone is your type, Maprang.
I like this friendly atmosphere
between class years.
Hey, Arthit!
This is the last lap! The last one!
Come on, man!
It's the last lap!
Come on!
Take your time!
Arthit!
Keep going! You can do it!
Just a little further!
Hurry up!
-A little further.
-Only a little further!
-Oh, no!
-Oh, no!
Get up, pal! You're doing good.
Only a little further!
Arthit, you can do this!
-Get up, man!
-Come on! Get up!
You're all right! A little further.
You can do it!
-Get up!
-Quick!
Quick! Your friends are waiting.
You did it!
-Oh, no!
-Careful!
Don't speak.
We'll take you back to the dorm.
Are you all right, Arthit?
Are you still here?
You should leave.
This is none of your business.
-Please let me go with you.
-Stay out of it.
Like I said,
this is of no concern to a freshman.
As a freshman, do I not have the right
to worry about the juniors?
Let's go, Knot. I've done enough talking.
And you
I'm warning you for the last time
to stay out of our business.
Otherwise,
I will punish all of you.
Let him go, Kong.
I was always skeptical about this system.
I didn't want to go
to the hazing sessions,
but having experienced it firsthand,
I think that the SOTUS system
creates an environment which pushes us
to learn to solve problems as a team.
It's like a library of experiences.
It's up to you to pick
a particular experience to study.
Hunting for the juniors' signatures
made me socialize more,
and the name tags made me realize
the value of connecting with people
and paying attention to detail,
and it gave me the confidence
to help out a friend in need.
This is what I've taken
from the hazing sessions.
Even though we knew
that everything had been planned,
the roles were acted out in real life.
The physical and mental anguish were real.
The upperclassmen put a lot of effort
into this, for us freshmen.
SEND MESSAGE
DEAR
Prem.
Prem.
Prem.
Hey, Prem.
What?
-Can you hand me my phone?
-Get it yourself.
I barely have the energy to speak.
Pass it to me, please.
Fine.
Am I your friend or your servant?
Hello, Dear.
I nearly died.
I saw my grandfather waving me over.
I almost followed him.
Come on.
The freshmen have no idea
how good you are.
Why don't you give it to me this year?
Sure. Thank you.
That was real dedication from you.
It's the rules, you know?
Rules to torture people?
Prem, I'm hungry.
Can you go buy me some rice congee?
Here.
No. Get me some pink milk as well.
Move it. Get me some pink milk.
-I can't be bothered.
-Hurry up.
-Come back quickly. Don't let it go bad.
-Where's the money?
I'll pay you back later.
What? Give me some money.
I'll pay you back.
-I won't lock the door.
-Sure.
-Can I have a cup of pink milk, please?
-Of course.
-That's 20 Baht, please.
-Okay.
Amazing.
That's a cute drink.
-Here.
-Thank you.
-Hello, Prem.
-Hello.
Is that pink milk for you?
Why are you asking?
Well
No reason.
Hello.
Wait, calm down. What's the matter?
I'm on my way.
You know how bad my legs hurt.
Why are you knocking?
Come in, the door is unlocked.
What took you so long?
Were you helping the vendor
heat up the congee?
Hurry up. I'm hungry.
I'm sorry.
Hello, where
What?
I haven't asked him that. I will.
Where are you?
Playing a game?
Just put it on auto!
Hello?
What's your excuse
for not making it this time?
Oh, Dad?
I'm tied up right now.
There's a sports match this evening.
Yes, Dad. It's tiring.
Yes. Okay then, Dad.
Love you, Dad. Bye.
Goodbye.
You took your time.
How is it going?
Like I said.
Let's go.
HEAD OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
I've told you several times
that I won't give my permission.
But, sir,
we organize SOTUS every year,
and there are never any problems.
There are problems this year.
Some parents are putting pressure
on the university
to cancel the off-campus activities.
They say that the older students
are mistreating the freshman.
But you know
-that we don't do that.
-I know.
But you should also know that this year,
the anti-SOTUS movement
has gained a lot of attention.
That thread about your hazing session
has been read by a number of parents.
So, the dean has banned
all off-campus activities
to try and solve this.
That's total nonsense, sir.
They
They are ignoring the benefits
these activities can offer their kids.
Exactly. It helps to build relationships
between the freshmen and us,
-and helps them grow up.
-Grow up?
Grow up by fighting with a lot of you?
I understand what you are saying
and why you do it,
but you can't expect the parents
to understand it
when it makes headlines every year.
I'm not telling you
to stop the activities altogether.
The best advice I can give you now
is come up with ideas
to make the activities more creative.
Do something better
that will please everyone.
Okay?
If the dean gives the green light,
you will have my permission.
I have a class to get to.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
What are you doing here?
I bumped into Prem.
He had to dash off,
and asked me to bring you this.
That asshole.
How are you feeling?
I'm good.
Why is your leg raised like that?
It just is.
Ouch!
I see. It still hurts.
You can't walk, can you?
That's my business.
You should leave.
How can I leave you?
You're severely injured.
I'll put the congee in a bowl.
Mind your leg.
Here.
Why are you still here?
I'm waiting to clean up.
You can't possibly get up
and do the dishes yourself, can you?
Your room is completely different
from how I imagined it.
I thought
a hazer's room would be neat,
and extremely tidy.
But actually, hazers are no different
from regular guys.
You watch too much TV.
Do you read comic books?
Leave them alone.
Step away.
You are so nosy.
I'll bring your clothes in
that you hung out to dry.
No, wait.
Hold on.
What are you doing?
I'm ironing your clothes.
Who told you to do that?
Tell me to do it, then.
Say, "Iron 54 times, get going!"
Shit.
I'm kidding.
About the ironing, please let me do it.
My mom always makes me do it.
I had this habit
where I can't stand creased clothes.
I have to iron them.
Please.
Do whatever you want.
Are you into models?
You could say that.
I like them too.
Action figures in particular.
I'm crazy about them.
I used to ask my dad to buy me them,
but he said they were too expensive.
Same for me.
However,
I save up my money for them.
I've been collecting them for a while.
All of a sudden, my house is full of them.
That is only a few of them.
Did you choose engineering
because you like robots?
Not really, but I.
I would like to build a robot.
Can I request a big one,
like the ones in Japan?
That's a bit far-fetched.
I should start small.
Something small?
How about one like Wall-E?
That one is cute.
I forgot that you're on medication.
I forgot to ask you if you had to take it
before your meal?
I found it.
I was right.
Why didn't you tell me?
Now you've missed a dose.
Don't you want to get better?
Don't forget next time.
You're such a nag.
I'm not a kid, you know?
Not to mention, I am older than you.
Stop ordering me around.
I know that you are my senior,
but you should realize
that you are unwell at the moment.
A patient needs someone
to look after them.
Once you are better,
then you can punish me.
For now, just put up with me.
NAMTARN
Aren't you going to answer that?
No. I don't want to talk.
I should go.
Don't forget to take your medication.
You guys are sore losers.
Watch your mouth.
Losing the match doesn't mean anything.
What are you going to do?
You lost the match because you sucked.
What a sore loser!
Hey!
-Hey, security's here.
-Security.
-Security's here.
-Come on, guys! Run!
-Are you okay?
-I'm fine.
Hey, stop!
How are you feeling?
Ouch!
Does your leg hurt?
A little.
Careful.
How are you doing?
It hurts.
Your leg?
Yes.
Let's go.
I'll take you to the hospital.
-My bag.
-Okay.
-Let's go.
-Ouch.
I want to tell you that
today
is the last hazing session for you guys.
But that doesn't mean
that you've earned your places.
You still need to take part
in the final activity,
which is
the flag retrieval day.
What?
Only then will you have
passed the initiation.
Good luck.
You may go.
KONGPOB
Yes.
I won't forget.
Okay. I'll see you tonight.
-Kong.
-What?
Who were you sweet-talking?
My code sis is treating us to dinner.
I see.
You don't take advantage
of your good looks.
Hey,
I barely have any time left
with all the activities and lectures.
True.
Hey, Waad.
What happened to your face?
Nothing.
I had an accident.
Okay.
Have you heard
that there are no more hazing sessions?
Why not?
I guess they have nothing more
to teach us.
But there's this flag retrieval day,
or something.
The juniors hope for a good turnout.
Speaking of flag retrieval,
I wonder what we will have to do.
-Yeah.
-Me too.
-Kong.
-Yes?
You're having dinner with your code sis.
Why don't you ask?
Sure, I'll ask her.
This Y goes to A.
-That's wrong.
-It could be B.
Look at the graph.
Hey, guys.
The flag retrieval day is approaching.
After that,
we have a seaside trip planned, right?
The problem is we don't have permission.
Do you think it will happen?
-I want to take them there.
-Right.
-But I don't know how to do it.
-What?
-You sound like you know.
-What about
we take them
-in secret?
-Hey!
-I say it's too risky.
-Hold on.
That's a good idea.
My friends at other universities do that.
They go off-site every year.
Trust me, it's too risky.
How so?
Think about it.
The chances of someone finding out
are too high.
Even if we've managed to take them,
if word got out,
our faculty would be in deep shit.
So would we.
They could even cancel everything.
I don't think it's worth it.
I agree with Knot.
The best option is to persuade
the authorities to let us do it.
I'll consult with the seniors.
Okay.
I'll talk to other academic staff.
And I'll get back to watching my series.
Are you for real?
I was just trying to lighten up the mood.
We still have time.
Don't give up so easily.
-Hello, Ple.
-Hey.
Hello, Kong. Sit down.
Let me introduce everyone
in our code family.
-Here's Noomnoon, your code junior.
-Hello.
Hello.
There's a code senior named Phak,
but he couldn't come.
I'm sorry I'm late.
Have you been waiting long?
Not long. We only just got here.
We knew it would be busy
so we wanted to get a table early.
I see.
Is anyone else coming?
Hasn't Ple told you?
We have a joint code family.
Our senior, Fon, who recently graduated,
is marrying Tum, from another code family
at the end of next month.
So, we planned this dinner.
What's the code of our joint family?
The same digits, but rearranged.
Weird, right?
That's why everyone keeps saying
that Tum and Fon
are destined to be together.
-Come on. Let's eat.
-Sure.
Hello there!
-Hey.
-Hello.
Hello.
Kongpob?
I've only seen your photo on Facebook.
You look even better in real life.
-Thank you.
-Come on, sit.
Careful, it's spicy.
-It's fine.
-Ai-oon.
Over here.
-Hello.
-Hello, sit down.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Have a seat.
-I told you
to stop calling me Ai-oon.
Call me Arthit instead.
But your nickname is Ai-oon.
I've always called you that,
ever since you were a freshman.
It's become a habit.
I'm a junior now.
I'm the head of hazers too.
That name undermines my authority.
-What?
-Undermines his authority?
Undermines his authority?
I forgot that you're now a junior,
and the hazers' leader.
The hazing sessions are finished,
aren't they?
There is the flag retrieval left.
I see.
Have you thought about the setup
for flag retrieval?
We certainly have ideas,
but I can't tell you.
I assure you it will be tough.
I'm going to get some more pork.
-Go on.
-Do you want anything?
No, thanks.
I'll go get us more pork.
Let me help.
I never knew your nickname is Ai-oon.
Who said you could call me that?
Why not?
Ai-oon is a nice name.
If you mention that name again,
I'm going to order you
to do squats right here.
Don't tell anyone else. Got it?
I won't.
Are your legs better now?
Yes.
I'm glad to hear that.
I can stop worrying about you.
