Excuse me.

This is Mai.

I just found out my mother will

arrange a 60th birthday party for...

- my father this Sunday.

- This Sunday?

Why? Am I calling you too late?

This Sunday I have to inspect

a site with Mr. David.

I'm sorry that

I didn't tell you before.

Too bad. My father will be

disappointed.

That's OK, though.

I'll tell my mother

that you'll come later. Bye.

Excuse me, sir.

I don't understand Chinese.

Grandpa is telling

you about your life.

Tell him I'm not interested.

Grandpa says be careful.

Somebody will take you away.

Danger from a snake or the river.

Grandpa says be careful.

He sees death around you.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Wait for me!

Quick!

Nuan!

Please let me see Nuan.

Nuan, are you alright?

Is Nuan alright?

What's going on?

You don't look too good.

No, it's nothing.

Then let's get in the boat.

I've been afraid of water

since I was little.

I tried to learn to swim

many times. Never could.

Last time you were not this scared.

Last trip, the boat was bigger.

A lot of people, too.

It wasn't this scary.

The more people,

the more dangerous.

This time, only two.

You are my only responsibility.

I'll take care of you.

That's okay you can stand up.

Go ahead, just stand up.

If the snake was not there in time,

I don't know

what would have happened to Nuan.

Are you sure they were the two?

I couldn't see them clearly.

But if they were bitten like that,

I'm sure it must be them.

There's more than one

cobra in the world.

I know, you already said that.

Deep inside,

you know the one that did it.

I'll take it to him.

What's up?

Why don't you change

outside this room?

No one answered the phone, Mom.

That's OK. Soon, your father should

be in a better mood.

It's his 60th birthday

and he wants to see everyone.

Chanachon is very busy, mother.

I have no idea

when he'll be finished.

I'll keep checking.

You must have been

here for along time.

Yes, 5 or 6 years before Mrs. Kosoom,

Mekala's mother came here.

I thought you were a local person.

I'm from another province.

I was in big trouble then.

A friend took me here to work for

the Mekala's father.

Is that lady your wife?

No, we're not related.

I have no relatives now.

I used to have a sister,

a brother in law and a nephew.

They're all dead.

I'm sorry. What happened to them?

Drowned right here.

Two bodies were found

my nephew's body never was found.

Daeng must have become food for

the crabs and fish in the river.

If he was alive,

he would be about your age.

I had no idea that you're such

a good cook.

My mother taught me

but I'm not half as good as Mom.

This coconut is fresh from the tree.
