Sotus the Series (2016) s01e07 Episode Script

-Hey, we're in the same year.
-Okay.
Right. I want to know
about you two freshmen.
Why did you choose
to study engineering here?
It's near my home.
I see.
That's a very interesting reason.
And Kongpob?
Don't say it's near your home too.
No.
Actually, I wanted to study economics,
but my mom wants me to study engineering.
So, I came here.
Wait.
Why don't you study what you like?
You know,
studying something you don't like
for four years
-is hard work.
-That's right.
You also waste your chance
to do what you want.
So I've been told.
If you don't want to stay
in college this year,
just reapply for admission next year.
But this year, you are still my junior.
I'll take care of you. Don't worry.
Thank you.
Dig in.
-Thank you.
-Enjoy yourself.
Thank you.
-Hello.
-Hi.
Are those painkillers?
Yes.
If you don't feel better, go see a doctor.
Okay.
So
how are you feeling?
I'm okay. It's nothing serious.
I'll get going now.
So,
there will be a flag retrieving activity.
Make sure you are there.
Okay.
Bye.
Right.
-My car can carry five people.
-Noomnoon, do you want a ride?
-We can go together.
-I can take you.
They can go with me.
-Goodbye.
-Get home safely.
-See you later.
-Goodbye.
How are you getting home?
That's my business.
Are you mad at me?
Why would I be mad at you?
Well?
We barely know each other.
You haven't gained the seniors' approval.
You don't even know
if you want to study here.
But I'm an engineering student now.
Are you sure you want to be one?
If you don't want to be here,
why don't you give up your spot?
Don't you know
how many people want to get in here?
You got in, and now
you're just going to drop out?
That's so selfish.
I have my reasons.
I'm not here just for fun.
I have taken part in every activity
the faculty has put on.
And I'm determined to retrieve the flag.
Don't be such a smart-ass.
-Retrieving the flag isn't that easy.
-I can do it.
What took you so long?
I went to buy something.
Let's go.
Hello, Knot.
How is he getting home?
He can find his way back.
-Let's go.
-Go.
Knot, call a meeting tomorrow.
I have some changes in the activity.
I'll really make them work for it.
What did the freshmen do to you?
Did you know that 0062 boy
wanted to study economics?
He came here because his mom made him.
So what?
He said he would drop out.
If he doesn't like it here,
that's what he should do.
Do you remember Win?
He also dropped out
to study communication arts.
What's wrong with you? Why are you upset?
Just because of this?
No, I didn't enjoy the barbecue buffet.
I'll get going now.
-See you. Thanks.
-Bye.
-Hey.
-What?
I'm nervous.
I don't know how tough it will be.
From the look of it,
this looks like Donkey Kong.
Donkey Kong?
What game is that?
Don't you know it?
In Donkey Kong,
there's a gorilla at the top
who is the boss.
You have to climb up the stairs
and dodge the buckets it throws at you.
-Who knows old games like that?
-What?
Only game nerds like you.
Hey.
-Are you calling me a nerd?
-Yes.
Think about it.
If this is like Donkey Kong,
with rows to climb up,
who will be the gorilla?
That would be Arthit, for sure.
Should I tell him you said that?
Shit, Tew. I'm kidding.
Relax, man.
Come on.
-I'll stay out of this.
-Jesus.
Freshmen.
-Line up.
-Get in line, man.
Freshmen, listen!
Today is an important day for you.
Every one of you
must prove to me
that you deserve to be
in the Faculty of Engineering.
Do you see the flag on the stand?
Your job
is to retrieve it.
I won't tell you how.
You must apply what I have taught you,
as well as your own skills, to the task.
You have until 7:00 p.m.
If you fail,
your entire class will be rejected.
If you are ready, you may begin.
Come up and take the flag.
What?
Can we just go up there and take it?
I don't think it's that easy.
So,
what should we do?
-No one told us anything.
-Tew.
Go and retrieve it for us.
Right. Go on, man.
You can do it.
I will back you up.
Fine.
TEW
Freshman, what are you doing here?
I'm here on behalf of my friends
to retrieve the flag.
I won't allow it.
Please go back down.
Can you tell us what we have to do?
That's not my job.
It's your job to figure it out.
Okay.
He won't tell me anything.
What now?
They won't give us any hints.
How are we supposed to know?
The stand has five rows.
Each row is a different color.
I think they are like
the yummy layered sweet cake
outside the campus.
Can we get some?
Well?
-Jesus, M.
-Don't blame him.
This isn't the time for that.
We're being serious.
Maybe they already
gave us a hint.
Let's think about it again.
I was also wondering
why there are colored fabrics
on the stand.
They could be
game levels.
The rows on the stand
are in five different colors,
and there's one hazer on each row.
It's a game with five tasks
we have to complete.
But we don't know how to play.
Is it SOTUS?
What?
It might involve SOTUS,
like they have been teaching us.
SOTUS?
That's exactly five letters.
Kong.
-You're a genius.
-You're awesome.
If it's like Kong said,
this means we must show the seniors
the meaning of each letter
and how we understand their meanings.
Then, the first letter is S, right?
What does it mean?
The first S stands for seniority,
or respecting your seniors.
O
is for order,
or following commands.
T is for tradition,
or adhering to customs.
U
is for unity,
to be united as one.
-And the last S is--
-Spirit.
It's devotion and passion.
That's right, Waad.
How did you know that?
You can search it on Google.
Oh, really?
The first word is seniority. I think
those who are senior to the third-years
are the fourth-years.
Do you remember
when Dear rebuked the third-years?
Right.
They were all afraid of him.
-That's right.
-You're right.
In that case, I think
we should get Dear's number.
Does anyone have it?
-Well?
-No.
-Do you have it?
-No.
Guys.
-How could we get it?
-Um.
Do you have the number
of the seniors' head hazer, Dear?
-Do you have it?
-No.
No one has it.
Then, we must find each year's head hazer
and gather them here.
We'll show them our respect
and our eagerness to be their juniors.
-Okay.
-Sure.
What if you're wrong?
It would waste time.
Do you have a better idea?
I think
this is better than your cake idea.
-I agree.
-True.
Let's do it, then.
Let's get each year's head hazer here.
-Okay.
-Go.
Let's do it.
What?
-Can anyone contact them?
-No.
I can't either.
Second and fourth year's head hazers
can't be reached.
No one answered the phone.
Damn it.
What now?
Don't worry.
Let's split up and go to their dorms.
Hey.
Won't we disturb them?
We've come this far.
We have nothing to lose.
Let's go.
Okay.
Dear and Cream,
please stand here for a minute.
Freshmen, are you ready?
Ready.
Three, four.
-Dear seniors.
-Dear seniors.
-Will you accept us
-Will you accept us
-as your juniors?
-as your juniors?
Sure.
No problem.
But,
I don't know if those guys up there
will say the same.
May I pass through?
You may.
We did it.
May I retrieve the class's flag?
You may not.
-What?
-What?
It's so hot.
-Tew is back.
-Guys.
Next is the second task.
It's O for order.
Let's solve this puzzle together.
Order means adhering to discipline.
And to do that, there must be rules.
But the seniors didn't give us any rules.
Do we have to make them up ourselves?
How would that prove anything?
-You're right.
-Right.
-Hmm.
-How about we try
to follow the school's dress code?
-Really?
-Yes.
Maybe
we should get on the stands.
-For what?
-Well,
we're following orders.
Those seniors are following orders.
So, we must follow orders as well.
We'll get on the stand and follow orders.
What do you think?
Am I right?
What?
-What?
-Huh?
-What nonsense is that?
-Damn.
-I don't get it.
-Come on.
Guys.
Think carefully.
Prem is watching us.
If we do something that displeases him,
he might punish us
until our legs are sore.
You're right.
What if we try to stand in order
like them?
Shall we?
I don't think that would work.
That's too easy.
Why does this have to be so difficult?
Does anyone else have a suggestion?
Let us hear it.
What should we do?
Do you want the flag or not?
Shit. What now?
I can't take it anymore.
Let's try lining up like May said.
-Okay.
-Fine.
-All right.
-Then,
let's do it.
All freshmen, line up.
Spread out.
May I retrieve the flag?
Isn't that too easy?
I won't allow it.
Okay.
What have I taught you
that you have failed to do so far?
Think about that.
Oh, no.
Didn't it work?
What have we failed to do?
Almost everything.
Our booklets are incomplete.
We can't line up properly.
We'll never get the signatures in time.
Let's run and line up in three minutes
like we were told to do.
Does that sound good?
-Let's try it.
-Yes.
Let's do it now.
Everyone, line up
on the other side of the field
within three minutes.
-Do it.
-Go.
-Move it.
-Let's go.
Spread out.
All freshmen,
line up.
Okay.
-Move it.
-Run.
All freshmen, line up.
Quickly.
Hurry. Step it up.
Line up.
-Line up.
-Do it.
Line up.
May.
-What?
-Are you okay?
Yes.
I'm fine.
May.
What is this?
Oh.
It's a handkerchief.
You are sweating a lot.
Oh.
It is new.
I've never used it.
No.
That's not what I mean.
I feel bad taking it from you.
Just take it.
We still have lots of running to do.
Thank you.
I'll wash and return it
once I'm done using it.
That's fine.
It's just a handkerchief.
People say it's a bad omen
to give handkerchiefs to others.
Open your hand.
-Open my hand?
-Yes.
Here.
I have one baht. I'll buy it from you.
I never knew you were superstitious.
Kind of.
Excuse me.
I think the guys should be in the back
and let the girls take the lead.
The girls seem exhausted.
The guys go to the back.
Let the girls take the lead.
Line up on the other side
of the field. Do it.
Go.
Hurry.
Enough!
Order
is doing what you're told.
But the leader
can't just give orders.
He has to help others too.
Task completed.
Will we make it by 7:00 p.m.?
Hey. Don't worry.
We'll make it.
I think we got through
the previous two tasks
mostly by accident. In our next task,
we might not be as lucky.
He's right.
It's harder than I thought.
Hey.
How about we try to list
what we should do for each letter
to save some time?
There is
for tradition, or following customs.
There's U for Unity.
It's probably the group chant
or some communal activity.
But as for S, or spirit,
I have no idea.
Let's figure out
what we have to do for T first.
Let's ask the seniors
about the traditions they have here.
Pass the food on to your friends.
-Thank you.
-Here.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-Yacht.
-Yes?
Does the Faculty of Engineering
have any traditions that are passed on?
Most faculties have the same traditions.
We have the group chant
and workshop uniform.
As for other unique traditions
-I don't really know.
-I see.
Thank you.
-It's more than we need.
-Thanks.
Even Yacht doesn't know.
What are we going to do?
I think we have to ask
the most senior student.
Hey.
Dear's sitting right there.
Hello, Dear.
Hello.
Hi.
-What is it?
-Well,
we want to know whether this faculty
has any long-standing traditions
that are unique?
Why do you want to know?
If it's only to complete the task,
I won't tell you.
It's because I want to be in this faculty
so I can pass on those traditions.
Me too.
Me too.
Few people
know about this tradition.
Why is that?
You might think it's funny.
It's a traditional trash walk.
A trash walk?
What for?
Why do you do that?
It sounds dirty, doesn't it?
Yes.
Engineers like us
may have to work in grubby places
or do unpleasant things, right?
Right.
A trash walk
helps keep us grounded.
I see.
It also helps keep our university clean.
So,
what do we have to do?
You just get some garbage bags
and walk around together.
If you see any trash,
you pick it up. That's all.
-I see.
-It's simple.
But they didn't do it last year.
-It might work.
-It sounds easy.
Are you seriously doing this?
Task completed.
How about that?
That was great.
-Good job.
-Well done.
Without Dear's help,
-we would be screwed.
-Right.
-I know.
-This is awesome.
Guys, the next letter is U.
Are you ready?
-Yes.
-Yes.
Then, let's rock.
The faculty of engineering
Is similar to a boat
Don't ever forget
That we are on the same boat
We're heading to the destination
That everyone dreams of
We won't turn back
Our dreams must come true
Engineering, this name must echo
Engineering
We must get to the goal
Despite the happiness or the sadness
We must make our faculty a legend
Do you call that singing?
You gave me goosebumps.
Get up here.
-Hooray!
-Yay!
How are you feeling? Are you okay?
Let's continue, Tew.
We're okay, but are you?
I'm fine.
The last letter is the hardest one.
It's S for spirit.
Does it mean devotion?
We already sang the cheer song.
We will have to find another way.
Maybe it's the spirit
of the Faculty of Engineering,
which is the gears
working in harmony.
That makes sense.
So, we must do something
that signifies harmony,
something we all put our effort into.
What should we do?
How about we get
into a gear-shaped formation?
That's a good idea.
Shall we get started?
Everyone,
we are going to try to get into
a gear-shaped formation.
By the way,
we need someone at a vantage point
to make sure
our formation looks like a gear.
Who should do it?
M and I
will handle that.
-Did I say I would do it?
-Just go.
Of course, I'll go.
Okay, hurry.
Let's move, everyone. Get in formation.
-How does it look?
-Move to the right.
Is it okay now?
-Yes.
-It looks great.
May I retrieve the flag?
You may not.
Did we get it wrong?
M and I even got up there to guide you.
I'm exhausted.
My throat is sore.
Guys, I
I'm sorry I wasted our time.
No, it wasn't your fault.
It was better than doing nothing.
Right. No one knows
what we are supposed to do.
What should we do?
What should we do? It's past six now.
Time's running out. What do we do?
Listen up, everyone.
I have a plan.
What are you doing here?
On behalf of the freshmen,
I would like to invite you down there.
And why should I come with you?
So that we
can show you our spirit.
Show me your spirit?
How about you ask yourself first
whether all of you
have enough spirit?
I told you.
If it doesn't come from the heart,
you don't deserve to be in this faculty.
Arthit.
I admit that I didn't plan
to study engineering.
But I don't regret choosing this faculty.
I'm proud to be a student here,
to meet new friends
and seniors.
If you think I don't love this faculty,
you are wrong.
I want to be an engineering student.
I want to be your junior
with all my heart.
So do my friends.
Otherwise, we wouldn't try so hard
to gain your approval.
If you want to know whether this is true,
please come down with me.
Okay.
Stand right here.
Well?
What are you going to show me?
The spirit that we all have
comes from the spirit of the hazers.
Without you,
we wouldn't have it.
We would like to thank you from our hearts
for your spirit.
Freshmen,
get in order.
Freshmen, show your spirit.
Thank you, Arthit.
-Thank you, Arthit.
-Thank you, Arthit.
Thank you, Arthit.
Thank you, Arthit.
Thank you, Arthit.
Thank you, Arthit.
Thank you, Arthit.
Thank you, Arthit.
Thank you, Arthit.
Thank you, Arthit.
Thank you, Arthit.
Thank you, Arthit.
Thank you, Arthit.
Thank you, Arthit.
-Thank you, Arthit.
-Thank you, Arthit.
-Thank you, Arthit.
-Thank you, Arthit.
-Thank you, Arthit.
-Thank you, Arthit.
Freshmen,
do a group chant for the head hazer.
Do it.
Do you think this is enough
to gain my approval?
I'm sorry.
It's not.
How could he do that?
-Hey.
-I'm speechless.
-Why?
-This is hard.
-It's so hard.
-Damn it.
It didn't work.
Freshmen.
Line up.
Your time is up.
Huddle together and sit down.
Who told you to look at the flag?
You don't get to look at it now.
Keep your heads down.
Do not look up until I say so.
Freshmen,
raise your heads
and send out a representative.
-We did it?
-Yes.
-Hey.
-Hey.
Kongpob.
-Hello, Fang.
-What are you doing here?
Nothing.
Aren't you going to join
the wrist binding ceremony?
There's a long line,
so I'm waiting outside.
Give me your wrist, then.
I'll be the first to bind it.
For the next four years of your life,
I wish you the best,
both in your studies and in love.
-Thank you.
-Sure.
Hurry back in there.
The seniors are waiting.
Okay.
-Fang, wait.
-Yes?
Have you seen Arthit?
Arthit?
I saw him behind the stand.
Thank you.
Wait a second.
If you see him, give this to him.
I think he forgot to take it.
Thank you, Fang.
Sure. See you later.
Arthit.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
It's hot.
I was just washing my face.
Is there a problem?
No.
Go back inside, then.
Isn't it the binding ceremony?
How could you just leave?
Wait.
Before I go,
can you bind my wrist for me?
Come here.
This side is better.
You're so fussy.
Take care of the whole class for me.
I will give it my all.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Wait.
What now?
Next time you cry,
please tell me.
-I'll dry your tears for you.
-Kongpob.
